Happy Labor Day! Let's Celebrate The Unofficial End Of Summer By Watching MTV True Life: I Have A Summer Share Featuring Tommy Cheeseballs

Every year, I bookend Memorial Day Weekend and Labor Day Weekend by blogging about the greatest television program that has ever been magically beamed into our homes, True Life: I Have A Summer Share. It was the ultimate display of friendship, love, and just overall life through the eyes of the greatest TV character ever, Tommy Cheeseballs. In fact, I call the glorious, unofficial gap between those two weekends #CheeseballsSZN because the nerds that invented the calendar idiotically decided that summer shouldn't fit neatly between those two holidays, even though those holidays were invented after the calendar was.

For the people that know about the legend of Tommy Cheeseballs, enjoy this classic video. For the young’ns that don’t, Tommy and his friends were the world’s introduction to the Jersey Shore long before phrases like Gorilla Juiceheads, Grenades, and Gym/Tan/Laundry came into our lives. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It may be more than a decade old, but the Tommy Cheeseballs episode of True Life is unintentional comedy at its peak that still holds up to this day. Pure fucking gold. Tommy isn’t the only star. Far from it. Before we had Snooki, J-Woww and Paulie D we had Anthony, Michelle H. and Michelle F, and the rest of Tommy’s misfit friends showing people around the country that never stepped foot in the Northeast just how RIDICULOUS the Jersey Shore could be with some fantastic early 2000s bangers playing in the background and the stereotypical Cowboys garbage pail that I think every Italian Cowboys fan from New Jersey owned.

Bitchboy Covid may have turned the last few months into some weird ass zombie coronasummer. But nothing, and I mean nothing can stop the train known as #CheeseballsSZN from delivering its Cheeseballs, steak sangwiches, and enough preposterous moments to instantly relieve that sadness instantly like a burp from the bottom of Anthony’s ballsack (his words, not mine) to your BBQs on these two glorious American weekends. Speaking of Covid, I blame his dumbass for tipping off Viacom to the full version of this episode that the People's Champion Rico Bosco found on YouTube a few years ago and getting it taken down. So in the meantime, we have to dip back into this partial version that's been on YouTube forever until a hero with a DVR from 2003 can reupload the full version to the internet.

Also, we released a shirt in honor of the God of Summer Love (CLICK HERE TO BUY). Get it now because I'm not sure how much longer something this amazing can last in the store after #CheeseballsSZN ends.
