Canada Shore is here, and we’re doing what we do best, hitting record the second someone says “did you watch last night?” We kick things off with Ethan and Bauer, who walk us through getting cast (with truly unbothered reactions), the fear of blacking out on camera, and the very specific vibe of being dropped into a phone-free bubble where breakfast together starts feeling like a whole new life. Then we get into the second interview with Emmy and Keyaira. 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.

Shep Rose joins Friend Of with the kind of calm that only comes from years of living life on camera, reflecting on the long, layered friendships that have shaped his time on Southern Charm. He opens up about the unique scars that come from growing up alongside the same people, why certain comments hit harder when there’s real history behind them, and how yelling it out can sometimes be part of the healing process. He also gets candid about watching the show back, how confessionals and reunions can completely shift your understanding of a moment, and what it’s been like to evolve from his early thirties into his mid-forties in front of an audience. Plus, Shep talks about settling into a new house, what “adulting” looks like for him right now, the kind of partner he’s drawn to at this stage of life, and wraps things up with a rapid-fire round that’s exactly as fun as it sounds.

Hi Friends! We’re ringing in 2026 with the 12-grapes-under-the-table tradition, a “grow, glow, flow” intentions reset, and the very real question of why motivation content feels like a personal attack on January 1st.

Today's episode starts cozy and festive and somehow ends with broken jaws, haunted houses, and deep thoughts about strength, ambition, and who we become when life shifts. We get into Jake Paul’s Netflix boxing moment and why, love him or hate him, the guy knows exactly what he’s doing. Then it’s over to The Kardashians, where philanthropy meetings, third-eye conversations, and bar-exam stress spark bigger conversations about responsibility, trust, and what actually matters. There’s empathy, side-eye, and a lot of “wait… what?” Plus: Taylor Swift’s mom playing matchmaker, Ed Sheeran’s strength era, the Beckham family tension everyone’s whispering about, Real Housewives dating parties that actually work, manifestation versus real financial advice, ghost stories we absolutely didn’t need, and the eternal question of whether you should ever meet your idols.

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.
