Carl Radke on Summer House tea, sobriety, hooping vs. WNBA legends

About this episode

Carl Radke discusses his experiences with sobriety on reality TV and shares insights about his life and sports background.

This week on Show Me Something, the WNBA’s Sophie and Bravo’s West Wilson are joined by Summer House OG, author, podcaster — and secretly elite volleyball player and Syracuse D1 practice squad standout — Carl Radke. What starts off chaotic turns into one of our most honest (and funniest) conversations yet. Carl opens up about staying sober on reality TV, filming Summer House without drinking, and why theme-party fits matter more than people think. He gets real about growth, his public breakup with Lindsay Hubbard, rebuilding friendships with Kyle Cooke, and what it’s like watching your life back on TV for a decade on Bravo. Plus the Pittsburgh native talks sports roots, Jaromír Jágr secret Halloween ice cream stash, his All-American volleyball skill, Syracuse women’s hoops practice squad stories, the infamous Bailey Taylor makeout on this season of Summer House, and why taking compliments is still the hardest part.
