    Meet the Cast of Canada Shore: Bauer, Ethan, Emmy & Keyaira

    Canada Shore is here, and we’re doing what we do best, hitting record the second someone says “did you watch last night?” We kick things off with Ethan and Bauer, who walk us through getting cast (with truly unbothered reactions), the fear of blacking out on camera, and the very specific vibe of being dropped into a phone-free bubble where breakfast together starts feeling like a whole new life. Then we get into the second interview with Emmy and Keyaira. They talk about the casting call whiplash, the pressure of packing for a whole summer when you don’t even know what you’ll need, and how Kelowna went from “where are we even going?” to the perfect backdrop for boats, waterfront nights, and making a party out of whatever’s in front of you. Plus: Snooki popping in with the “this is your family now” reality check, reality TV royalty picks (Kathy Hilton hive, rise), what’s actually in a going-out bag when cameras are rolling, and a Canadian version of GTL that somehow lands on “make out crash out blackout,” which feels… spiritually correct. Timestamps: Ethan & Bauer Interview: 00:15 — Ethan & Bauer on getting cast and the “side quest” vibe 01:55 — Nerves going in: drinking, blackouts, and house uncertainty 03:16 — Family reactions and real-world worries 04:40 — Bauer clears up Emmy + Keyaira and the showmance narrative 07:25 — Ethan on the cast becoming family 08:20 — Kelowna: wineries, boats, and the entrance story 10:20 — The unseen side, judgment in the house, season two mindset Emmy & Keyaira Interview 15:50 — Second interview begins: casting pressure and early dynamics 22:44 — Kelowna party scene, episode-one buzz, and growth arcs 25:28 — Snooki’s advice, reality TV royalty, Canadian GTL Connect With Us: Instagram: @friendofpodcast TikTok: @friendofpodcast If you love the show, please rate and review us!
