In this episode, West dives into how he defines himself during the current season of Summer House, and reveals what happened the day his severance from Bleacher Report came through.

West also discusses his work with Complex, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the journalism world, his experience at Bleacher Report, and how he found himself on a dating show with Complex. He opens up about being on three different types of payroll within journalism and reflects on what makes Summer House stand out from other reality TV shows.
