‘Southern Charm’ Craig Offered Austen Shocking Amount For Podcast

Southern Charm star, Craig Conover offered his castmate and business partner, Austen Kroll a shocking amount for their podcast. The two have been at odds since Season 10 began and now, Craig thinks it might be best to retain ownership of the Pillows & Beer podcast. So, how much did Craig offer Austen? Keep reading for more details.
Southern Charm How Much Did Craig Offer Austen For Podcast?
Craig Conover and Austen Kroll cannot get it together this season of Southern Charm. They have been best friends for years but Craig has shifted his priorities a lot over the last few years. He was with Paige DeSorbo for three years and was trying to settle down with her at some point. Craig wanted a family and marriage so he had been renovating his home to start preparing for their future. Paige was not on board with any of that and liked her New York City freedom. Regardless, Craig was in a different phase, and that included getting sober.

That being said, he and Austen, who had been close for years, could not meet in the middle. Austen did not like how he and Craig never hung out. More so, Craig would make and break plans just so he could garden. To Craig, he felt his friends did not like that he did not care to party anymore. Austen and Craig worked together and had a successful podcast, Pillows & Beer, which included a tour. However, Craig reached a point where he was ready to buy Austen out.

According to Us Weekly, Craig Conover offers his Southern Charm co-star $30K for the rights to their podcast. In the Thursday, January 30th episode, Craig offers Austen Kroll a hefty sum for Pillows & Beer:
“I feel like I have a proposal with the podcast that should be pretty f—ing great. Maybe we [give] you, like, 30 grand, but I keep ownership of it.”
Austen is stunned by the offer and above that, he was shocked because the podcast was not even on his mind.
Where Do They Go From There?
Austen Kroll just wanted to spend time with Craig Conover outside of work and has said that for a while. He also added that Craig:
“Can’t handle and f—ing constructive criticism.”
Craig has begun to feel like he takes it far more seriously than Austen and expressed that to his Southern Charm co-stars. He even recorded an episode on his own because sometimes he cannot handle Austen. After the offer, Austen comes at Craig for his downfalls as a friend which does not sit well at all. The two go back and forth until Austen lets Craig know he was not trying to shame him or make him feel bad. There was more to it:
“It was me telling you that you have lost track of your inner personal relationships. I’m trying to have you find some balance, dude.”
It does not end with an answer but hopefully, Craig and Austen can resolve this because they do have a great friendship.
Do you think $30K is a lot and should Austen give in or should they try to work together? Let us know and watch Southern Charm Thursdays on Bravo.
