Kroll appears frustrated by Conover’s remarks and quips, “I knew that’s how you were gonna take it.”

“You can either swim or leave,” Conover, 36, tells him, to which Kroll, 37, decides to do the latter and storms off.

The “Pillows and Beer” co-hosts continue to get into it and start screaming at each other during a group dinner together.

“You are an embellisher!” Kroll shouts.

Conover then cheekily replies, “I’m a lawyer and a storyteller!”

It’s unclear exactly what the two are butting heads over, but Conover’s transition from letting loose in Charleston, S.C., to expanding his successful business, Sewing Down South, appear to play a role.

The two get into another intense altercation during a group dinner. Bravo Kroll calls Conover an “embellisher,” to which Conover screams that he’s a “lawyer and a storyteller.” Bravo

“If Craig’s seen with a beer in his hand, he thinks his whole business is going down,” Kroll tells their third pal, Shep Rose, during another conversation between the two of them.

Rose agrees with Kroll and says that Conover “cutting himself off from everybody is not a solution.”

Conover’s girlfriend, Paige DeSorbo, shares her candid thoughts and tells Conover, “Austen and Shep are, like, foaming at the mouth to say, ‘You’re changed because of me.'”

Kroll teases that their problems stem from growing in different directions with their careers and goals. Bravo Fans began to wonder if Conover and Kroll, pictured here in November 2022, were having issues after they paused recording podcast episodes together over the spring. Todd Williamson/Bravo
