What is up everybody and welcome to my first bonus episode ever? I am stoked. I am

stoked. I'm loving this bonus episode thing. It's like it's exciting. I like it. I am especially

excited today because I have a little tidbit of information that I think all of you guys are going to love to hear for me. I know I was

shocked when I got this email. I was shocked. That is putting it mildly. I was shocked that is putting it mildly I was so excited because Mike the situation

yes the actual the freaking situation from Jersey Shore from almost years ago

he reached out and he thought it'd be a great idea

to promote his new podcast that him and his partner Lauren are launching and it's actually

it's coming out today, today, this day.

So maybe you're feeling a little bit like I was in those first few moments after I read the email. Like my thoughts went straight

back to sitting in my parents living room, sneakily watching the Jersey Shore when my mom was gone and out of the house because she

wouldn't allow me to watch it.

Like, maybe there was too much partying or drinking or fist-ing I guess I don't know but I do remember

watching it when she wasn't around and I remember vividly just being enamored with the whole cast.

It was like an iconic part of growing up for me

and my generation, we all watch that show.

We all watch Jersey Shore.

So, I mean, it was just big.

That show, it hit like a tidal wave.

It was like one of the first of its kind.

And I remember Mike, the situation, he just stuck out. There is no one like him. And I do, I, a few years ago, I remember hearing a few things about him, like him having legal troubles and in drug rehab and I remember

him hearing that he inevitably ended up serving time in jail for tax evasion.

But until I got this email, I hadn't heard anything else about him.
