Cunningham reveals that she's got her teammates watching Wilson on his Bravo seriesIndiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham and Summer House's West Wilson have known each other since they were "little babies" in Columbia, Missouri. Now, the unlikely duo are teaming up to host a new podcast called Show Me Something, PEOPLE can exclusively announce.
Cunningham, 28, fresh off an electric WNBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis, and 30-year-old Wilson, who is mid-filming on a new season of Bravo's Summer House, say their show will cover all things sports and pop culture. "There's no better time to hop into the WNBA than right now," says Wilson, a sports journalist whose work has appeared in Complex Sports, Bleacher Report and NFL Network.
In initial conversations about a co-hosted podcast, they discussed focusing the show on the WNBA, but Wilson and Cunningham — already bantering and finishing one another's sentences before having recorded a single episode — say they didn't want to pigeon hole themselves.

"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," says Cunningham, a proud fan of the popular reality network.
The Fever guard — who was "not surprised" when her childhood friend became a Bravo personality because "it was just like a matter of time for him to somehow get famous" — says she's even gotten her teammates hooked on the drama between Wilson and his friends on Summer House.
"I've been addicted, and I have my teammates on it. I have everyone watching it because of West."
"That part makes me nervous, that the team's watching," confesses Wilson, who says he always saw Cunningham's success in the WNBA coming. "She's been balling since eighth grade, so this part of her life isn't surprising to me," he says.
Cunningham claims all of her teammates are "West fans" but the Bravo star says he suspects, "They have no choice" because of their teammate's close ties.
Mostly, Cunningham and Wilson are on a pursuit of fun with Show Me Something. "We're lighthearted, and sometimes our love language is, like, s--- talking," Cunningham explains as Wilson nods. "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."
Wilson adds, "We've both been doing media stuff for a while. We've also both gotten in trouble for s--- before," he laughs, adding that both he and his co-host have "been through the ringer" of public opinion in the past.
"I don't necessarily know what Sophie's fan base is like, what they like or don't like, but it'll be fun to explore that."
Cunningham laughs and sardonically predicts she'll "get canceled real fast."
