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.Timestamps:01:45 Long friendships, history, and emotional scars  03:10 When yelling actually helps friendships reset  03:55 Watching the show back, confessionals, and reunions  05:25 Growing up on reality TV from 33 to 46  06:20 Buying a new house and settling into a quieter chapter  07:15 What Shep looks for in a relationship  08:15 Rapid-fire questions and season reflections  Connect With Us:Instagram: @friendofpodcastTikTok: @friendofpodcastStream Southern Charm every Thursday at 9PM ET on Hayu CanadaIf you love the show, please rate and review us!

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.Chapters00:00 Holiday chaos & cozy beginnings07:30 Strength, fitness & body image thoughts16:45 Jake Paul’s Netflix fight & marketing genius29:00 Kardashians philanthropy & third-eye moments44:00 RHOBH dating night & real vulnerability59:30 Icons, icks & holiday sign-offConnect With Us:Instagram: @friendofpodcastTikTok: @friendofpodcastFriend Of is proudly presented by Hayu, the home of reality TV.Hundreds of shows.

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.

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.

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.

Jen Shah is officially out of prison, Salt Lake City is melting down in Greece, and Bravo’s fraud math is back on the table. The girls dive straight into who deserves a redemption arc, who absolutely doesn’t, and why Meredith’s accountability avoidance should honestly have its own confessionals. From there, it’s a full reality-TV-to-pop-culture spiral including Vanderpump Villa relationship theories, Southern Charm friendship fractures, and a few too-real docuseries parallels that hit closer to home than expected.Timestamps:06:00 Sauna Nicki Minaj tea & the almost–Ryan Serhant scam11:53 Jen Shah out, Bravo’s fraud math & docuseries talk17:13 Taylor Swift doc tease, car app husbands & Marciano on Harry Jowsey31:04 New York plans, Broadway dreams & the self-checkout rant36:41 Salt Lake City in Greece: glam, falls & non-apologies51:00 Southern Charm: Craig vs Austen, the new guy & the hot-tub triangle01:07:38 Ick & IconFull Episode:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/friend-of/id1804716774?utm_source=shownotes&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=friendofSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6BBvlAzxsVdHtz8vB6PrJn?utm_source=shownotes&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=friendofConnect With Us:Instagram: @friendofpodcastTikTok: @friendofpodcastFriend Of is proudly presented by Hayu, the home of reality TV.Hundreds of shows.
