They talk about the casting call whiplash, the pressure of packing for a whole summer when you don’t even know what you’ll need, and how Kelowna went from “where are we even going?” to the perfect backdrop for boats, waterfront nights, and making a party out of whatever’s in front of you.Plus: Snooki popping in with the “this is your family now” reality check, reality TV royalty picks (Kathy Hilton hive, rise), what’s actually in a going-out bag when cameras are rolling, and a Canadian version of GTL that somehow lands on “make out crash out blackout,” which feels… spiritually correct.Timestamps:Ethan & Bauer Interview:00:15 — Ethan & Bauer on getting cast and the “side quest” vibe01:55 — Nerves going in: drinking, blackouts, and house uncertainty03:16 — Family reactions and real-world worries04:40 — Bauer clears up Emmy + Keyaira and the showmance narrative07:25 — Ethan on the cast becoming family08:20 — Kelowna: wineries, boats, and the entrance story10:20 — The unseen side, judgment in the house, season two mindsetEmmy & Keyaira Interview15:50 — Second interview begins: casting pressure and early dynamics22:44 — Kelowna party scene, episode-one buzz, and growth arcs25:28 — Snooki’s advice, reality TV royalty, Canadian GTLConnect With Us:Instagram: @friendofpodcastTikTok: @friendofpodcastIf you love the show, please rate and review us!

We're in New York City with Carl Radke to talk Summer House Season 10 - including what it was like watching the trailer live with his cast and seeing moments he didn’t even know happened - and all things New York. He opens up about where things stand with Kyle, how filming really works, and why watching yourself back can feel like reviewing game tape.We also dive into Soft Bar, Carl’s non-alc café and bar in New York, the intention behind creating a space that isn’t preachy, and what it’s been like launching a brick-and-mortar business while still living very publicly on Bravo.Plus, Carl gets candid about writing Cake Eater: revisiting his childhood and family story, recording the audiobook, and why sharing his experience was never about having it all figured out — just about being honest.Chapters00:00:17 New York first-timer, Soho recs00:01:09 Broadway Bros, Wicked, Art, and Comedy Cellar00:03:48 Pizza talk, sourdough obsession, local bars00:05:55 BravoCon, fan encounters, being “newbies” support00:08:15 Reality TV rules, what you avoid vs what they want00:11:18 Watching back, screeners, reunion accountability00:15:20 Trailer reactions, Kyle tension tease, season vibe00:19:42 Sobriety in public, projection, “sober isn’t perfect”00:27:47 Wellness era, running, Calm, AA, community outside alcohol00:31:40 Soft Bar concept, hours, events, podcast studio plans00:38:26 Writing Cake Eater, childhood + family story, audio book emotions00:48:09 Pride, gratitude, meeting fans, “I used to pray for this”00:54:45 Book tour + Canada stops, five years sober milestoneConnect With Us:Instagram: @friendofpodcastTikTok: @friendofpodcastFriend Of is proudly presented by Hayu, the home of reality TV.Hundreds of shows.

Ep 45Vanderpump’s Reboot Problem, a High Body Count Trademark & Craig vs. Austen

E

Today's episode starts in full sick-parent survival mode and somehow spirals into one of the most layered Bravo conversations we’ve had in a while. From Vanderpump reboot fatigue and why casting will always matter more than concepts, to Traitors season hype and the shows we watch purely for the people, the pop culture range is doing a lot here.Then it’s Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and yes, everything is on the table. Meredith’s rough season, Mother’s Day emotions, broken coffee machines, donkey excursions, and Brittany casually revealing she’s kept a lifelong document of every person she’s ever kissed. Plus, the now-infamous “high body count” phrase turns into an actual trademark debate, and it’s somehow both ridiculous and iconic.Plus: Nene Leakes possibly returning to Bravo, Donna Kelce entering the reality TV universe, Chelsea from Selling Sunset reframing weight gain in a way that actually feels healthy, skinny culture creeping back into the discourse, Southern Charm’s never-ending Craig–Austen tension, pool parties, Speedos, performance anxiety, sobriety conversations, and why hating on fun is, in fact, silly.Timestamps:04:57 Vanderpump reboot fatigue & expectations10:17 Nene Leakes rumours & Traitors casting hype13:24 What we watch for the cast, not the concept15:07 Brittany’s ex-husband news16:58 Heather Gay casting rumours18:55 Chelsea, skinny culture & body conversations27:39 RHOSLC recap begins33:16 Brittany’s kiss-count document35:58 High Body Count trademark debate39:50 Southern Charm recap59:00 Icons & IcksConnect With Us:Instagram: @friendofpodcastTikTok: @friendofpodcastFriend Of is proudly presented by Hayu, the home of reality TV.Hundreds of shows.

Ep 46Taylor’s Bonus Day Math, Bronwyn’s No-Prenup Split & Kyle’s Love Triangle

E

Ariana and Renee are recording straight from a New York hotel bed after the most unhinged Christmas bar, a surprise Golden Bachelor recap delivered by two Boston icons, and a Gary V day that included VaynerMedia, Fly Fish and the best chicken nuggets on earth. They break down Bronwyn and Todd’s no-prenup split, Taylor Swift’s ERAS documentary “bonus day” math, Travis Kelce retirement chatter, Carl’s NYC interview trip, and the Summer House cast-photo Photoshop situation everyone’s dragging online. Then it’s Kardashians (Kim’s party parenting moment, Kourtney’s scheduling saga, Khloé’s dating dread) and RHOBH drama from Dorit and PK’s financial standoff to Kyle’s separation and the Morgan Wade whispers. Plus: airport condoms, dry-nose spirals, breastfeeding politics, handwriting paralysis, and your weekly Ick & Icon.Timestamps:00:00:00 NYC hotel bed, Christmas bar & Boston ladies00:08:50 Bronwyn & Todd split, Taylor doc & ERAS bonus day00:18:05 Renee’s notebook quest, airport condoms & dry-nose spiral00:22:53 Kardashians: mom-life optics, vaping poisoning & lip kits00:34:41 Breastfeeding schedules, Kim’s grad party & hometown fame00:41:35 Kim’s kids on stage, Kourtney’s walkout & Khloé on dating00:44:34 Beverly Hills: Rachel Zoe, Dorit & PK money, Kyle & Morgan00:54:42 Summer House cast photos, NYC plans & Ick/IconConnect With Us:Instagram: @friendofpodcastTikTok: @friendofpodcastFriend Of is proudly presented by Hayu, the home of reality TV.Hundreds of shows.
