Wilson isn’t surprised that Cunningham has become a WNBA fan favorite. “She’s been balling since eighth grade,” he tells PEOPLE.\n<\/p>\n But Wilson, a former football player but “not a hooper at all” by his own admission, says his favorite memory of Cunningham from their high school days was when she played kicker in a boys’ football game on the night of their homecoming dance.<\/p>\n Sophie Cunningham on July 22, 2025.<\/p>\n Catalina Fragoso \/NBAE via Getty<\/p>\n “I wasn’t, like, on the football team all four years and I wasn’t tackling people. Our kicker blew out his knee and I played for like, a game and a half,” Cunningham explains.\n<\/p>\n “But the kicker, wink wink, of the story is it was homecoming so all these girls were dressed up so cute and pretty in their dresses, and then I was like, in football pads with my poor date in a tuxedo. Like, it was bad.”\n<\/p>\n Wilson and Cunningham announced their new podcast, Show Me Something, in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE on Wednesday, July 30. The duo said their show will cover all aspects of sports and pop culture. “We’re definitely going to hit on the WNBA, a huge topic in sports right now, and then Bravo, clearly, but pop culture, food, fashion, travel, let’s spread this thing wide open because we really do talk about anything,” said Cunningham.\n<\/p>\n “We’re lighthearted, and sometimes our love language is, like, s— talking,” she continued. “It’ll be cool that people can see our humor, what we’re actually like and, it’s coming from us and not from other people perceiving or portraying what they think we are.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEED TO KNOW WNBA star Sophie Cunningham is a big fan of Bravo’s show Summer House, which stars…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37895,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,82,630],"class_list":["post-37894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37894","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37894"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37894\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
