Carl Radke’s fight with Kyle Cooke on Summer House brought out a new side of him.
“Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever flipped out that much sober in my life,” Carl, 41, said during his Tuesday, May 12, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “I really lost it.”
Tuesday’s episode of Summer House finally showcased the physical altercation between longtime best friends Kyle, 43, and Carl. The two threw insults at each other, with Carl calling Kyle a “f***ing loser DJ” at one point.
“I was standing in my apartment pacing around. I got emotional at one point,” Carl said about watching the fight back. “I was a mess. You never want to get to that level. I was really in my head after the fight kind of settled down just because I was like, I love this guy and I let things boil over.”
Carl also reflected on how ex-fiancée Lindsay Hubbard stepped in to diffuse the situation between him and Kyle.
“Something about just her presence was very se like calming,” he recalled. “I looked at her in the eye and I could just tell. I’m like, ‘OK we’re family like I need to calm down a little bit.’”
The Kyle and Carl fight has been teased since the Summer House season 10 trailer was released late last year.
“It was a buildup of the entire summer,” Carl told Us Weekly exclusively in January. “It’s a roller-coaster. [The dinner] starts light and fun. Something gets brought up, then it starts getting tense, then it gets light again …. Then, it starts getting crazy.”

Lindsay, 39, grilling Kyle about his marriage to Amanda Batula actually led to the blowup. (Kyle and Amanda, 34, announced their separation in January after four years of marriage.)
“The last seven years of my life, I’ve just worked my ass off with no joy,” Kyle yelled during a full cast dinner, claiming that he felt “under attack” by his costars. “Do me a favor, don’t gang up for the f***ing umpteenth time this summer.”
Kyle then looked at Amanda and said “f*** you,” which escalated the entire situation with the entire cast getting involved. Carl started telling Kyle to “chill the f*** out” as things got heated between them.
“F*** you, Carl,” Kyle replied. Carl responded, “F*** you then, you f***ing loser.”
The season 10 Summer House finale airs on Bravo Tuesday, May 19, at 8 p.m. ET.
