um you know you know just what happens that most of us on the show are italian and uh... or eighty eighty and i would have a baby but and motor mostly and uh... that's that's just what it is uh... we have certain styles and they can work out that that uh... may not uh... had to be on tv and it's pretty edgy and forwarding and uh... it's been pretty popular uh...
33:06
it but it actually might not my team but i think fact it's one of the one of the biggest shows on mtv history so obviously we will put you know myself including we weren't doing too much bad, so to speak, when, obviously, it became one of the biggest TV shows on MTV history.
33:24
Have you thought about life after the Jersey Shore yet, Mike? Like, I mean, eventually, this thing's going to come to an end.
33:30
Yeah, oh, obviously.
33:32
Every ride comes to an end, but, you know, that's...
33:34
That's, you know, why, you know, you have planning, you have businesses, and you have other ventures besides that.
33:40
You know, maybe you decide to come out with, you know, a workout video, or maybe you decide to come out with a book, or, you know, there's a song on iTunes.

and
7:22
um you know you know just what happens that most of us on the show are italian or 80% or whatever it is, 85% mostly.
7:32
And that's just what it is.
7:34
We have certain styles and very similar styles that may not have been seen on TV, and it's pretty edgy and forward, and it's been pretty popular.
7:46
Actually, not in my opinion, but I think fact, it's one of the biggest shows on MTV history.
7:51
So obviously, you know, myself including, we weren't doing... too much bad, so to speak, when, obviously, it became one of the biggest TV shows on MTV history.
8:03
Have you thought about life after the Jersey Shore yet, Mike? Like, I mean, eventually, this thing's going to come to an end.
8:09
Yeah, oh, obviously.
45:55
But for an average user, how many hours can you get out of not charging?
46:01
Okay, so we are using our phones more and more every year, and that is also leading a little bit to, I think, the battery anxiety that many of us have when using our devices.
46:15
So what I can say is that your phone's battery will quickly and mostly recharge within 30 minutes to maybe an hour, depending on how old your phone is.
46:28
Unfortunately, that doesn't change the actual battery life of the phone.
46:31
So my phone, my personal phone is actually about five years old.
46:35
And when I go into the settings, it shows I have about 85% battery capacity.
46:40
And Apple recommends getting your battery changed when it goes below 80%.

51:49
But are we going to get better when it comes to wireless charging?
11:20
So what was that like?
11:22
It was remarkable.
11:23
I mean, this is just some of the...
11:25
You see the Spanish ship coming up.
11:27
This was one of my favorite... moments of the whole thing you've got this beautiful ship the weather hit right the winds were hitting and they were able to kill the engines and go completely under sail you can even see how much wind they're they're you know they're they're on this Tilt that got that strong tilt to the side.
11:48
It's just it was beautiful.
11:48
And honestly, you know, when we do production and we do video and things like that, we're doing a lot of corporate.

66:10
But Mike Sorrentino, uh great job uh you're gonna go cover some stuff again today yeah you excited yeah and it was it was really nice it was really nice talking about the good things that happened this weekend for like eight minutes
4:48
Mm
4:48
... stint in rehab right before Jersey Shore, um, at the Seaside, Seaside Heights happened, um, I went to rehab for, uh, pills at the time.
4:58
So when the Jersey Shore first started happening, I was like, "You know what?" Um, I didn't have much, um, knowledge about addiction, so I just played the game of what's called substitution, where I said, "You know what? I'm not gonna do pills anymore.
5:11
I'm just going to, to drink." Um, and then obviously, um, you guys saw Jersey Shore seasons one, um, and, um, things definitely intensified in Jersey Shore season two when, um, we got our big raises, and that's when the addiction really, really took over.
5:32
Um, it, it got so bad to the point that I was probably doing, um, in, in the early Jersey Shore seasons, probably in season two, I started doing about four to six Roxies three times a day.
5:45
Maybe by season-

11:10
Tell me about Archangel.
11:12
Yes.
14:57
How did you feel like that shifted after you became sober, if at all?
15:03
Yes, it was a very big transition.
15:06
At first I was... a bit shooketh to be honest with you because, um, you know, America, you know, had, had knew me as this, this party guy, I was young, I was single.
15:19
I was this lady's man.
15:20
I was wild.
15:21
I was crazy.
15:22
Um, but a lot of those behaviors have consequences.
18:21
Yes,
3:10
and this is kind of a deep question but do you feel somehow some way that you're betraying your heritage case a lot of people have never been a jersey don't know anybody italian and you're the only connection they have the italian community
3:22
well you know what i mean and that ain't nobody has ever pointed it out to me like that uh... i'll be the first one to tell you that uh...
3:31
I'm not representing anybody but myself, okay? I'm having fun.
3:36
I'm a guy in my 20s.
3:37
I'm single.
3:39
And what you see out there is exactly, you know, what happens sometimes.
3:44
Now, as per, you know, the style and the spiky hair and the six-packs, that just happens to be the style of some of us in the house.
4:19
And I'm getting a lot of questions on where the name, the situation stems from.

17:53
... to get, to land on another network, hopefully.
17:54
We are, uh, tight-lipped right now, uh, of what's going on.
17:58
We're excited.
17:58
I mean, listen, there's, there seems to be, uh, something ending with, but also with an ending is also a beginning.
18:05
So-
19:45
Yeah.
19:45
We kinda like really stuck together, and we've been family since day one.
19:49
And now 17 years later, when we got that news, um, we're like, "Nah, uh-uh, not so fast."
0:00
So I have a question for you guys.
0:01
When was the last time you upgraded your mattress? Yes, I'm asking you because I love to sleep, and currently, I love my Birch mattress.
0:10
I got my Birch about a month ago, and honestly, guys, the sleep I'm getting has been amazing.
0:15
The Birch mattresses are stylish, they're comfortable, and most importantly, they're crafted with responsibly sourced materials.
0:22
And the best part is they're shipped directly from their facility to your door for free.
0:28
The mattress comes rolled up in a box and is super easy to set up.

26:54
Relationships.
26:57
