Show Notes

Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino sits down with Carl to share the story behind the ‘Jersey Shore’ icon America thought it knew. Mike opens up about hiding a debilitating pill addiction on the biggest reality show in the country, the on-camera moments fans remember, and how he went from owning a vodka company to running Archangel Centers, his nationwide network of treatment facilities.

Now nearly 11 years sober, Mike talks about redemption, fatherhood, fame, and why the comeback is greater than the setback.
