Southern Charm’s Austen Kroll is feeling distant from his friend Craig Conover, and in a sneak peek of the show, he sits down with Craig to discuss their friendship. Austen expresses that he misses hanging out with his buddy and questions why Craig seems to be unavailable when he tries to make plans. Craig is surprised by the conversation and defends himself, claiming that he didn’t know there was an issue and suggests setting up a weekly tee time to spend more time together.
Austen brings up an incident where Craig canceled their golf plans last minute to work on his garden, which left Austen feeling neglected. Craig explains that he values his work and making money more than leisure activities like golf. Austen wishes for more balance in Craig’s life and hopes that he will prioritize their friendship and spending time together, especially considering Craig’s success in the business world with ventures like Sewing Down South and Spritz Society.
Since joining Southern Charm in 2017, Austen has maintained a friendship with Craig and the pair even opened a new bar together called By The Way. However, Austen feels that Craig’s focus on work and other commitments has caused a strain in their friendship. He expresses his desire for Craig to make more time for social activities like going out to dinner with him and his girlfriend Audrey, rather than constantly being busy with work.
Despite their differences, Austen is happy for Craig’s success in his business ventures and wishes to remain an important part of Craig’s life. He humorously mentions that he may come across as childish in conversations about their friendship, but the message is clear that he values their bond. Austen hopes that they can find a way to reconnect and spend more quality time together, away from work and other distractions that have kept them apart.
