Episode Description

"It is never too late to be the person you are intended to be" says Mike Reis, father of legendary former New Orleans Saints Safety Chris Reis. No matter what you’ve done in the past, no matter how old you are – you can make a Recovery of a Lifetime. Chris Reis is best known for having recovered the famous “Ambush” onside kick that opened the second half and propelled the New Orleans Saints to victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. The game became a pivotal moment in both his and his father’s life. Inspired by Chris’s success on the football field, Mike Reis felt it was time to address his destructive behaviors – including addiction to alcohol and sex. Join us on January 17, 6 PM East – 3 PM West for this very special show.
