\nCarl Radke wants you to know that he\u2019s doing just fine.<\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m seated across from the Bravolebrity at Soft Bar, his modish non-alcoholic caf\u00e9 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and sipping on a drink called the \u201cSteel Magnolia\u201d \u2014 a mix of matcha, lavender Earl Grey tea and salted honey cloud that is, admittedly, quite refreshing. We\u2019re tucked away in his upstairs office, which doubles as a recording studio for Radke\u2019s self-help podcast \u201cMore Life,\u201d to discuss \u2014 what else? \u2014 the explosive \u201cSummer House\u201d Season 10 reunion.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis year\u2019s reunion was without question the most hotly anticipated in \u201cSummer House\u201d history, owing to cast members Amanda Batula and Westling \u201cWest\u201d Wilson\u2019s budding situationship. You see, Batula is best friends with Ciara Miller, who not only used to date Wilson (and still harbored feelings for him), but spent the majority of the season coaching Batula through her marital breakdown with Kyle Cooke, one of Wilson\u2019s pals and Radke\u2019s best friend. To make matters worse, Wilson was hiding a girlfriend of over a year up until he and Batula went public, and the two lied and gaslit all of their friends about their romance when rumors began swirling about it on Deuxmoi.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Radke, 41, has emerged as far and away the most mature man on \u201cSummer House\u201d (and perhaps the entire Bravosphere). He\u2019s overcome drug and alcohol addiction, and the tragic passing of his brother, to become \u201cthe person you\u2019re supposed to be and always wanted to be,\u201d as his ex-fianc\u00e9e Lindsay Hubbard so succinctly put it. He is now over five years sober, has mended fences with Lindsay following their very public split, and is currently dating someone new (\u201cWe\u2019re taking it slow,\u201d he shares).<\/p>\n

\n\tRadke grabs a book and hands it to me. It\u2019s called \u201cDry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze.\u201d He says it\u2019s a favorite of his.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHonestly, if you think about it, the best sex of your life was always sober,\u201d he tells me. \u201cOnce you build up to that comfortability with someone, you\u2019re actually connected<\/em>. Alcohol masks that deeper connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring our lengthy chat, Radke opened up about his maturation journey and had plenty<\/em> to say about the scandal that\u2019s come to be known as \u201cScamanda\u201d and its main perpetrator, Wilson.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t think any of us know the real West,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to be yourself on TV.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nYou don\u2019t look like a mess.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI mean, my hair\u2019s a mess. The way to explain the \u201cmess\u201d is that, yes, for a 24-hour period I was a mess. I was emotional, feeling very down, feeling confused. Kyle and I were talking a lot during that time. The statement went out, Kyle and I were on the phone and they showed that during Part 1 of the reunion. The following morning after the statement went out, I was sending Kyle voice notes and was crying on one of the voice notes, saying, \u201cThis totally destroys our friend group, I feel so bad for you and Ciara, what the fuck is going on?\u201d An hour later, he goes outside of his apartment and walks the two dogs and runs into the paparazzi. He says \u201cCarl\u2019s a mess,\u201d and it becomes this crazy meme.<\/p>\n

\nOne of my favorite moments this season was you and Lindsay making amends in the igloo. How did you arrive at this place of understanding?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI really feel like the housewarming that she hosted was a huge first step.<\/p>\n

\nDespite the bit of shade she threw at you during her speech.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\t[Laughs<\/em>] But that had happened at the Freedom Dinner before. There\u2019s always some light jabbing, but I actually enjoy some of it because it shows that deep down, she cares. If she\u2019s not saying anything to you, then there\u2019s a problem. With the housewarming, she sent the invite to the group text, so I didn\u2019t even know if I was supposed to go. But I asked Ciara and she said, \u201cNo, you\u2019re going. You were invited.\u201d I told Ciara I wanted to bring her something that was a little gesture and also bring [her daughter] Gemma something, so I sent Ciara ideas. The gesture at the housewarming, I feel like in that moment something shifted a little bit. And then her coming to the Soft Bar opening really meant a lot.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019m looking around for the teddy bear\u2026<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s back downstairs in the same spot! Watching it back, I know my mom and her had an unfortunate convo, but it was really great having her here, all things considered. Going into the igloo, I had heard about the interaction with my mom at Soft Bar, but she pulled me aside and I didn\u2019t know what we were walking into \u2014 I just knew we needed to talk. We hadn\u2019t talked one-on-one, and once we sat in the igloo, I realized I had a really good opportunity to show her how much she meant to me and how the way I handled the situation wasn\u2019t perfect. Lindsay has had to do some work, too. I think being a mother has made her lighter and happier, and it makes me happy to see her that way.<\/p>\n

\nDo you and Lindsay almost feel like the only adults in the house at this point just wrangling all these kids? Almost like a \u201cCheaper by the Dozen\u201d situation?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tMaybe me as the sober dad. I drive people to the beach or to the restaurants and take pride in being a little more responsible. I will say, though: People don\u2019t realize that behind the scenes, what drives \u201cSummer House\u201d is Lindsay\u2019s energy, participation and ideas, and Kyle brings a ton to the table. The core group of us has been doing this for so long that we know what we need to do to deliver the goods. You see that mom-dad vibe, but we also care so much about \u201cSummer House\u201d and our group of friends and want it to keep going.<\/p>\n

\nDo the OGs have a say in choosing the new cast members\/houseguests?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tNo. We\u2019ll hear about someone recommending people. Some of us have an opportunity to get coffee or drinks with some of these folks; some of us have already met some of these people. But there are some people that maybe we don\u2019t know that well. And that was my experience with summer houses even before the show.<\/p>\n

\nBut now there\u2019s a big age gap between the OGs and the newbies. So as a viewer, I\u2019m like, \u201cHow do they know these people?\u201d I\u2019m curious how the newbies get chosen to be in the cast, and if you have a say at all because you have to live<\/em> with these people.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tOne or two people for sure know some of these folks, although you don\u2019t actually know someone until you live with someone.<\/p>\n

\nSo, are they cast by Bravo?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t know\u2026 [To PR] Can I answer these questions? Sorry, I can\u2019t talk about that!<\/p>\n

\nIs it surreal to you that Erika Kirk was on \u201cSummer House?\u201d You\u2019re in the scene with her.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI remember it all. I didn\u2019t know she was \u201cErika Kirk.\u201d She wasn\u2019t with [Charlie] then. She was doing stuff in New York. I met her and her brunette friend, who was on the double date as well. [Erika] wanted me to date the friend, and I said she should take a look at my friend, Jordan. We did that whole thing, they went on a date or two\u2026<\/p>\n

\nYou could have changed the course of history, Carl.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI tried to set \u2018em up! The whole thing is kind of insane. I\u2019ve been advised to not really talk about it because it doesn\u2019t have to deal with me. But all roads lead to Bravo.<\/p>\n

\nWas Kyle on his \u201ctippies\u201d when he was kissing Meghan King? Also, hilarious line by Lindsay.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\t[Laughs<\/em>] That\u2019s how Lindsay and me talk though, so that\u2019s why I cracked up hardcore at that during the reunion. When Lindsay and I were together, we\u2019d do baby talk like that. It\u2019s fucking hilarious. But I\u2019ve met Meghan King and she\u2019s very attractive. Kyle is not that<\/em> short. He looks short next to me and looks short next to Jesse, but I don\u2019t believe he was on his tippies. His Air Force 1s have a nice insole, but he wasn\u2019t wearing the Jax Taylor lifts. I\u2019ve been very lucky being a \u201c6-foot-5 motherfucker,\u201d according to Kyle.<\/p>\n

\nWatching Season 10, West and Amanda\u2019s closeness was surprising. It\u2019s sort of like the Scandoval season of \u201cVanderpump Rules\u201d where everyone was looking for clues.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tSome of those moments watching back, it\u2019s weird because I was there. Did I notice some touching and the way West was with her? Yes, I did. And I don\u2019t think it\u2019s OK or cool to touch women that are married on their necks, midriffs, grabbing the back of their heads and their hair \u2014 very touchy. Watching that back was very uncomfortable and I don\u2019t approve of that. Some of the conversations Amanda, Mia and Ciara were having were very hard to watch. They were pumping her up and guiding her through a tough situation, so it feels really icky and makes you question what was really going on all summer. With \u201cIn the City,\u201d too, seeing that stuff has been interesting because I wasn\u2019t there at all.<\/p>\n

\nRight. On a recent episode, Amanda, Ciara and West all go out to lunch and Amanda is almost urging Ciara and West on.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s awkward and super strange to even think they had either already started hooking up or there were already feelings and they\u2019re playing in Ciara\u2019s face, which is incredibly diabolical.<\/p>\n

\nWhat is your theory on the West and Amanda timeline?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t think the timeline matters.<\/p>\n

\nIt\u2019s marital infidelity though if Amanda was hooking up with West during her marriage to Kyle and while they were still trying to patch things up.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tYou just don\u2019t go after a girl\u2019s ex. And people question whether West and Ciara were at that level, and Ciara really liked West. It\u2019s obvious. We\u2019ve talked about it for three seasons over many dinner conversations. Ciara is very cautious and played it slow in opening her heart up to West. He brought her home. They were trying to work through what looked like a friendship last summer, but West and her were making out and there were vibes.<\/p>\n

\nAnd having sleepovers in the fall.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tYeah. So, you don\u2019t go for a girl\u2019s ex, and you don\u2019t go for a guy that\u2019s also friends with your husband \u2014 or ex-husband. No timelines matter. You just don\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

\nDo you think Amanda\u2019s been getting too much heat and West hasn\u2019t been getting enough, especially from the public at large? West is very good at \u201ctaking accountability\u201d and deflecting blame by offering empty mea culpas.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI think the only apology is changing your behavior. That\u2019s the only thing I care about. And only time will tell with the behavior and what they\u2019re up to, but their behavior has spoken very loudly. They go to a Yankees game and are making out in public. Now, they\u2019re posting that they want to be back on social again because they want to live their lives. Their behavior has been very telling, I think. I don\u2019t wish any ill will on them and think that this has gotten out of control, but at the same time, if you play dumb games you\u2019re going to win stupid prizes.<\/p>\n

\nThere\u2019s a moment in Part 1 of the reunion where you and KJ are discussing how Amanda seems to make public displays on days that big things are going on for Ciara, like going out to that Yankees game with West the same day Ciara\u2019s Glamour <\/em>cover dropped. Have you noticed that pattern?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI think that particular day stood out. Here\u2019s Ciara in this incredible magazine with this incredible feature \u2014 Glamour <\/em>is massive and you have amazing women who\u2019ve been on it \u2014 and I don\u2019t know whether or not Amanda is sitting there going, \u201cI\u2019m going to get back at her.\u201d I hope to God they\u2019re not that nasty and diabolical, but it is interesting that some of these big moments for Ciara have also been coupled with random Amanda or West posts on social media. I\u2019ve seen what you\u2019re talking about, but I\u2019m just hoping and praying that that\u2019s not something that they\u2019re purposely trying to do.<\/p>\n

\nDo you want either of them back on \u201cSummer House?\u201d<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s not really my call. I\u2019m ready to show up and have a great summer, but we don\u2019t make some of these decisions, and I think there are still some things they\u2019re deciding on as far as what the fit will be for this summer and who will be coming back. Historically, there\u2019s always this June timeframe where we\u2019re still figuring out what\u2019s going on and who will participate. I know Kyle has filmed with West and I know Amanda and Lindsay have filmed since this all went down. I don\u2019t know how those conversations went.<\/p>\n

\nYou and Bailey were very cute this season. One of my favorite moments came post-Kyle fight, where she tries to calm you down and diffuse the situation by blurting out, \u201cWe can make out!\u201d<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\t[Laughs<\/em>] I know. I wish I had just gone for it. I was so heated and upset and looking back, it would have been kind of heroic and gnarly to make out after all that. Watching the season back, it confirms how I felt. I was enjoying just having fun and not taking things too seriously, and I\u2019ve been cautious about not hooking up or dating in the house with Lindsay being in the same house. I didn\u2019t want to be weird or disrespectful. For a period of time, I had random hookups in the house, whether it was Danielle or Paige years ago, but I wanted to be mindful that I was sharing a house with my friends. I didn\u2019t realize Bailey was flirting with me until later on, but she\u2019s awesome and I have a great friendship with her. We have hung out outside of filming \u2014 we hung out a few times in the fall \u2014 but I\u2019ve never felt more than that we have a great friendship and nice bond. I\u2019m rooting for Bailey. She\u2019s very funny, very opinionated, has a big personality and has been a great addition to our show.<\/p>\n

\nFor some reason, on \u201cIn the City,\u201d Lindsay has revived this story about you getting a handjob from Danielle.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tWhich I don\u2019t understand, and I\u2019m just going to clear the air: That summer, in Season 4, Danielle and I were in an Uber back from Montauk and she was rubbing me over my pants, which is called an OTPHJ \u2014 over-the-pants handjob. It wasn\u2019t a real handjob, and we all knew it wasn\u2019t a real handjob. She was playing with me and flirting with me and we were not being great people in that moment because me and Lindsay had hooked up and were exploring dating, and then a week later, we\u2019re in an Uber and Danielle is kind of making moves on me. We talked about it very openly, there was no shadiness or real hiding, it\u2019s been discussed on multiple seasons and now, on Season 1 of \u201cIn the City.\u201d From my understanding, Danielle is frustrated because with \u201chandjob\u201d versus \u201cover-the-pants handjob,\u201d it\u2019s been spun out of control. I didn\u2019t lie or make anything up!<\/p>\n

\nI think they need you on \u201cIn the City.\u201d<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tWell, you might see me! I did film with Kyle for \u201cIn the City.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nYou trying to run Soft Bar is an interesting storyline, and as a \u201cSummer House\u201d viewer, I view you as the conscience of the show, in a way, and I feel like that\u2019s missing on \u201cIn the City.\u201d<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI appreciate that. Listen, I would have loved to be a part of it. I was not<\/em> asked, and that\u2019s totally fine. From what I understood, they were focusing on married couples and couples having kids.<\/p>\n

\nNot really, though? I mean, Kyle and Amanda are all but broken up, you\u2019ve got a guy who\u2019s moved his girlfriend of six months in with him and a single bar owner.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tWell, at the time they were putting it together, it was all couples. But as it\u2019s unfolded and this whole scandal has broken out, people are like, well, it doesn\u2019t make sense now because they\u2019re not all couples. Clearly someone up above had a clear idea for what they wanted for \u201cIn the City,\u201d and I\u2019m happy for them. I\u2019m so pumped for Kyle and so pumped for Lindsay. When I was dating Lindsay and we were together, she was always coming up with ideas and pitching them. \u201cIn the City\u201d is one of three ideas that I know she\u2019s been thinking about, so it\u2019s really cool that she\u2019s been able to extend this. Lindsay is a force to be reckoned with. She\u2019s one of the greatest reality TV stars of all time. And if there\u2019s a Season 2, I\u2019d love to be a part of it.<\/p>\n

\nTo go back to the reunion, did it strike everyone as odd how checked out Amanda and West were? I mean they looked out of it. Andy Cohen goes up to them in the green room before the reunion and it\u2019s like they\u2019re not even aware of what\u2019s happening.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI sat next to West and her. You could feel the energy of it and I didn\u2019t feel it. What I mean by that is, when someone actually shows remorse or cares that they did something wrong, they express that in a way that you feel. They were almost numb. And watching it back is different because I\u2019m seeing their facial expressions, which I did not see when I was sitting on the couch. And it was weird<\/em>. Part 1 of the reunion was very uncomfortable to watch because you can tell the rest of us are feeling certain things \u2014 Kyle is up and down, Ciara is obviously feeling it, KJ and Jesse broke down \u2014 but the people that aren\u2019t were sitting next to me.<\/p>\n

\n\tI reflect a lot on two years prior to that when I was in the hot seat. I\u2019d called off a wedding to Lindsay on camera, we\u2019d had crazy back-and-forths and I was definitely the bad guy. I went into that knowing what I needed to do to take accountability and own up to what I\u2019d done, but my approach and their approach seemed very different. I don\u2019t know what their pre-reunion preparation was, but they didn\u2019t watch the show \u2014 clearly<\/em>. From what I understand, the whole cast had watched except for those two.<\/p>\n

\nThe appearance of Meija, West\u2019s ex-girlfriend, was a big revelation.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tWest had a full-blown girlfriend all of last summer. He was presenting as a single guy, flirting and having a lot of fun over the summer with Ciara and other girls, and then on those weekends while he was having fun in the Hamptons, Meija was in his New York City apartment hanging out. That alone is insane and deserves a lot of conversation.<\/p>\n

\nI don\u2019t think West got enough heat for making out with a girl in front of Ciara. And look, I know him and Ciara made up shortly after that, but it was real dickhead behavior. Super disrespectful. He\u2019s exhibited a reckless disregard for her feelings, in particular.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tYeah. It\u2019s pretty clear that in that scene he doesn\u2019t see<\/em> Ciara \u2014 in more ways than one. He\u2019s struggled to see her, respect her and understand what she\u2019s shared with him a few different times. She really liked him and pursued that as a real relationship, and West discarded her, and then, because we film a show together, he was like, well, if I\u2019m not friends with her then what do I do here? It\u2019s a lot of manipulation and performance from West.<\/p>\n

\nKyle floats a theory during the reunion about premeditation on West\u2019s part with Amanda \u2014 that he knew she was going to have this glow-up and so, because he\u2019s a total clout-chaser as Lindsay put it, he latched onto her.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tYes. I think West knows how to play into certain things in the Bravosphere that would lend itself to more fan support. He knew that supporting Amanda, the girl who\u2019s going through this difficult relationship dynamic, would make him look like the white knight in shining armor. I think there is an element of West producing himself <\/em>to that degree. People need to pull up The New York Times article where he gives away who West is. He is playing a character <\/em>on \u201cSummer House.\u201d We play our real lives. And Paige called him out two years ago on the reunion perfectly.<\/p>\n

\nAnd we catch him on a hot mic coaching Amanda in the reunion green room about how she can gain more sympathy from viewers.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tYeah. \u201cIf you need to cry onstage, then cry.\u201d It\u2019s performative and, more than anything, that doesn\u2019t work for our show.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019ve never been on the West train. He\u2019s just always seemed so completely full of it to me. He has this delivery where his voice breaks at the end of every confessional statement that\u2019s always struck me as a craven plea for sympathy. I can never tell if he\u2019s being genuine.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tWell, I don\u2019t think he knows either. West kind of came out of nowhere in the Bravo world, and at the time that he came into Bravo, there was a lot going on with \u201cSummer House.\u201d Lindsay and I broke up and that was a big news story that percolated for months until the season started airing. He was catapulted into fame, influencer contracts, deals and sideline reporting, and I think some of that is like a drug. I experienced that fame where all the girls want to sleep with you and they\u2019re in your DMs and famous people are inviting you out to games and concerts and sporting events. He\u2019s been on TV for three months. That didn\u2019t happen for a lot of us where it was a slow build. I think he got high on his own supply, in more ways than one, and you add in the Ciara of it all: Him dating her, or being with her, also elevates him because she\u2019s drop-dead gorgeous and everyone roots for Ciara and wants her happy. So that relationship evolution people were rooting for and excited for, but he was treating it as a performance \u2014 and she wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\nRight.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tThe drinking and the partying and the performance? Back in early seasons, you might have seen some of the performative Carl. Alcohol was a big factor and Adderall and cocaine were big factors. I was the version of myself that I thought you guys wanted to see, but over time I realized that wasn\u2019t me \u2014 I was an asshole and a psychopath. Some of the behavior I\u2019m seeing from him makes me think he\u2019s afraid to be himself because it\u2019s scary.<\/p>\n

\nOK, so how\u2019s Soft Bar going?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s good. We are entering our 11th<\/sup> month of business. We have a great team and I feel really lucky. I wanted to make sure that this business would succeed, so I found a place in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, with a lower rent. And we didn\u2019t sign a lease until a year and a half into building the brand with pop-ups and a mobile event with my van to get the word out there. I built it a little slowly and methodically, and I think we\u2019re seeing the fruits of that. We do tons of events and community gatherings and have DJs. We have been profitable the last few months, which has been amazing. I believe we\u2019re paving the way for the non-alcoholic industry and showcasing what this lifestyle can look like with elevated drinks, a cool space and ambiance, and the drinks also make you feel good with healthy ingredients. We actually don\u2019t do mocktails here; we do soft cocktails. We\u2019re not making fun of anything here, which is why we don\u2019t do mocktails.<\/p>\n

\nHow is your sobriety journey going? It\u2019s not easy in a city like New York.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tThis is how you flip the thinking: The only way to stay alive is to be sober. I was so bad that my last day of drinking and using cocaine I almost died \u2014 from wanting not to live and<\/em> the volume of cocaine and alcohol I was putting into my body. I almost overdosed. My brother had passed away six months prior, and I was in a deep depression and sadness. I was down on my knees and needed real help. So, I had someone call a sponsor for me. My decision to not drink is to stay alive. It\u2019s easy. I want to live my life and be of service to other people. The more you share your story out loud, the more you connect with people. I take pride in being on a show where you can see someone who doesn\u2019t drink but also has fun, is social, going on dates and being goofy and weird. The version of Carl you\u2019re seeing on \u201cSummer House\u201d now is the real me. The first five seasons wasn\u2019t really me.<\/p>\n

\nThere\u2019s fentanyl in some cocaine now, too. That wasn\u2019t something people had to deal with before.<\/strong> <\/h5>\n

\n\tI have friends that still party and I try not to be judgmental. My one thing is: Make sure that you test it. Do I carry Narcan in my backpack? I do. Have I had to help someone with Narcan before? I have. That\u2019s not a great place to be, but the less I judge other people and just keep my side of the street clean, it\u2019s better for me that way. I don\u2019t want to be high and mighty. I don\u2019t have it all figured out, but if they want help, I\u2019ll be here. I\u2019ll always take your call.<\/p>\n
