Ep 202: Kyle Dunnigan & Blair Socci
Oh, holy shit. I just believe malarkey is a pastry served warm, yes, but with... Oh, yes.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And we were new and local and not very good. And the guy who ran the club, Joe Mullen, at one point said, all right, from now on, when the three headliners are over, like if I was emceeing, he would say, I want you to go on stage. He wanted to draw a clear line. He goes, I want you to go on stage and say, that's it for our show.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
We do have some local comedians who are coming up to do a few minutes each. If you guys want to leave, we understand. But if you want to hang out and give them an audience, you're welcome to do so.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Right. And about 75% of the audience would get up and leave. Of course. Because the emcee had just said, that's it for our show.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Some stripper goes up there like, I can't fucking do this.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
You've been at it through 81 or something like that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
When I wanted to be a comedian, the only comedy clubs were in New York City and Los Angeles. I was getting ready to move to New York. And then the comic strip, the sister club, opened up in Fort Lauderdale. I remember seeing the ad in the Miami Herald. And of all the ads I've ever seen in my life, this one like jumped out at me more than anything.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
It's like a comedy club opens, comic strip comedy club opens in Fort Lauderdale, open mic nights on Monday. And I was like, oh my gosh.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I always say Florida is upside down. If you draw a line through Florida, like right around Orlando, everything north of that has a southern vibe.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Jerry Seinfeld was a guy that I followed as an auditioner. I auditioned five times. One of them was with my brother Dennis. You guys know my brother Dennis. Very funny guy. So I auditioned like three times and then one time I said to my brother, I said, why don't we try it as a comedy team? So we go to the comic strip to audition as a comedy team. We drew our number and we followed
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
One of the three headliners and the guy's name was Jerry Seinfeld. Neither of us had ever seen him before. He went on stage and absolutely killed. Wow. And we were like, you know, we're laughing and enjoying him. And then we were like looking at each other, holy shit, we got to follow this guy. Yeah. So they said, that's it. Enjoy Jerry Seinfeld. Nice hand for Jerry Seinfeld.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Now we have some auditioners coming up here, Brian Regan and Dennis Regan. We went on stage and completely died. It was your first time going up as a team. It was our first time going up as a team. It's fucking hard.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And I remember I had told Dennis, you know, that because he was worried. He goes, how do we know when to get off stage? And I said, well, they're going to put a light up. You know, a light means that it's time to wrap up. Sure. And basically the whole show, he just kept asking, when are they going to turn that light on?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Well, what was interesting is I remember watching him and I was disillusioned because I'm thinking. Well, if this guy isn't famous, what am I trying to get into? I'm trying to get into this comedy world. Interesting. This was like the best guy I'd ever seen as a comedian.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Really? Wow. He did his first Carson like a week or two after we saw him. So he's probably running that. Yeah. So I remember like going, okay, the comedy thing is fair. You know, this guy's really good. Right. Now he's on The Tonight Show. If you're good enough, you know, you can make some success.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
They would let me go on at the end of the night. Wow. And was that Dennis' first time on stage? That was Dennis' first time doing stand-up. And I think he was so thrown by how bad it went that he's like, I don't know if I want this in my life. So I continued auditioning by myself. And then I started making some progress. He was doing some other things.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And then a couple years later, he decided to get back into it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
That's a nice compliment, but... The person I would say was that I saw perform in New York where I was like, man, some people know how to get some laughs. Mario Cantone. Oh, yeah. I went into Catch Rising Star. I was in New York for like a week or two. I went into Catch Rising Star. I hadn't passed there. I just was watching comedians. Mario Cantone got on stage. And like destroyed.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I remember going, I've never seen laughs like at this level. And he was just like a machine. Wow. Bam, bam, bam. And I'm like... I got to go buy some notebooks.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Yeah. Well, there's a great story about Bill Hicks. He said he did a show one time and a guy came up to him after the show and said, hey, we didn't come here to think. So Bill Hicks said, tell me where you do go to think and I'll do my act there.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Sam Kinison performed before he was a name. Was he a dude that immediately were like, this dude's fucking incredible? It was interesting. The club was open seven nights a week. One show he would destroy, the next night walk the room. Wow. Interesting. Night after that, destroy, next night walk the room.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Like either a crowd got into the wavelength and wrote it or they were like taken aback and didn't want any more of it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
It's interesting. From him performing there, I realized how much audiences like – Everybody thinks they're an individual making a decision in an audience, but everybody's influenced by how everybody else is reacting. Oh, good point. You know what I mean? Yeah. So like you think, oh, I think this guy's funny or I don't think this guy's funny.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
You're influenced by the people around you laughing or not laughing. If they don't laugh, you're more inclined to go, I guess they're right. That's a great point. If they're laughing, you're more inclined to go, okay, I guess he's funny.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
They all made up, they did that group thing. You know when you see those birds flying, like 10,000 birds and they're all doing this? Are they all making individual decisions? That's quite a coincidence that they're all going around. Audiences are like that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
What I try to do is pretend that I'm sitting in the middle of the audience and go, all right, clearly I don't know how to make these people laugh. Right. But I know what I think is funny. So I just go, what would I laugh at if I was out there? So it calms me down and at least I can – You can step on the gas too much if you're losing a crowd.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
You step on the gas and you start chasing them, which is a bad move. So it'll teach me don't chase these people. Just do what I think is funny. Sometimes I can turn a crowd around. Sometimes I don't, but at least I'm staying true to what I think is funny.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
What really sucks is when you put yourself out there and you bomb to yourself and you go, well, now I don't think I'm funny. Yes.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I realize how much I suck. I'm seeing it from the other perspective.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Well, if I do interviews, I always talk about how much I hate corporate shows. Yeah. Which is so bad for me, for my agents who are trying to book me on corporate shows. Yeah. So, well, we heard him in the We Might Be Drunk podcast that he doesn't like them, so we decided not to book him. But- At least an audience in a regular venue, they're coming out to see me. Right.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
But a corporate show, they're out there for another reason, and I'm hit or miss, man. Really? Yeah. I feel like you cruise. No, I can – from doing it, I've learned enough – I have enough skills, if you will, to be able to –
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Right. I go along with that because – If somebody's not laughing, they're going to hear other people laughing, and they don't want to miss out. Right. All right. Well, obviously, something's going on here, and they're going to be more interested in tuning in to try to find the right wavelength. Yeah. Whereas if nobody's laughing, then there's no reason to try to tune in.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
congratulating mark and sam actually heard it hit the water comedians on the 200th episode of we might be drunk fuck i love you guys man congrats oh wow i never thought i'd see that five different times and they're the best five episodes they've ever done
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
There was a club in Akron, Ohio, or Northeast Ohio, and... You know, it was a place that wasn't built to be a comedy club. So it had two levels. So the stage was here. And you had half your audiences over here, like on your level. And then there was like a little staircase down to the other half of the audience. What is this, MC Escher's Club?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
So these people are so low, they can't even see these people. And I remember having shows there where I got two different reactions in the same show.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I mean, who gets to decide whether something is funny or not? So my attitude is if one person in the world thinks something is funny, then it's funny. That doesn't mean other people agree, but it made one brain laugh. Yeah. So if you think of something and you think it's funny. Okay. It's funny. Ted Bundy's like, I think this is funny.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I mean, you might have to drop it from your act. You can't just plow through an audience and go, I could give a damn what you think. You do have to find things that they agree with to keep in your act.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Everybody hates that guy. If I was in the middle of the audience, I'd think it was funny.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I've always wanted to, you know, there's like playing to the crowd or playing to the back of the room. And both of them are fun. But I always thought I was a pig because I wanted both. I wanted the crowd and the people in the back of the room to think it was funny. I want everybody to enjoy it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
He has no idea I'm doing this. Congratulations, boys.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I had no idea. Mark, Sam, the We Might Be Drunk family, I just want to say congratulations on 200 episodes. I am so honored to just be a little piece of what you guys have put together. I went back to our episode where we gave bar and food recommendations, and The comment section glowing. Look at this one from WooSooDude. The Jew levels are off the scale on this one. We did it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I felt that way about the... The show on Comedy Central, I Can't Believe This Is Happening.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
What was yours? I remember loving it, though. Mine was about... I mean, I'm not going to do the whole thing, but... Do the whole story. 20 minutes. Having to do comedy on center ice at an NHL game. Ah. And getting literally booed off the ice. Dog on a Zamboni. There you go. Dog on a Zamboni. But I had been told when I was supposed to do the show that you're supposed to just do a story...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
That I thought was not in your act. So I worked on this Zamboni story, you know, like, I mean, that's a true story. But then I started realizing a lot of people were actually just doing bits from their act, pretending like they were stories. And I was like, well, felt like cheating to me.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
It was hard for me too. Yeah. I would practice it at the end of my shows, you know, the story, and I would tell the audience, hey, I'm working on a story for this TV thing. So I practiced it, but it still wasn't something that was part of my act normally.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I'm very meticulous about the words and the moments and the beats, and it's kind of like a curse in a way. Because then when you're just hanging out at a party or something like that, people kind of expect you to be funny.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And it's like, well, I'm not, you know, when I work on an act or a joke, it's like you put a lot of work and effort into it and you try to make it sound like it's just off kind of the top of your head. But that's not the way I'm able to really just, I can't do that in just normal life.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Listen, I heard back from so many of the bars and restaurants we talked about. Even in Belfast, Flout Pizza, they messaged me. They were like crying. They're like, oh, my God, we can't believe it. You mentioned us and we might be drunk. Our business is through the roof. So you're saving lives. You're helping people. Also, I do have to give an amendment to that story. I found out.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Well, I appreciate that. Your cadence is infectious.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I've noticed occasionally we're all – I remember doing a show one time and it was like two local – I'm in a comedy club. I had two other local comedians who I'd never met before. And I remember sitting in the back of the audience going, I'm following two Brian Regan. Oh, that was dense. I mean, they were similar, you know, like similar in style. And a guest spot who's Jackie the Joke Man Martling.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
But there is a difference between outright stealing and getting influenced. And I think if you are, heck, you know, I probably was influenced by some people growing up. Who influenced you, do you think? John Fox. I've heard stories.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
He was... He was an animal. High energy. I think I might have kicked up my energy after watching him. Not material. I mean, he was like... Very dirty act. But, you know, there he is, John Fox. Oh, yeah. Right there.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
He passed away a few years ago. I think he did a Marin episode.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
That guy's wife is alive and well. He made it sound like she was dying and she didn't. She's like, she had like the cold. So that is a little cold. If anyone remembers, you know, the story I told. Otherwise, congratulations. Best to you both and the whole gang to 200 more. Mark and Sam.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
just finished it it's fantastic love it so he gave me a piece of advice i was working with him at a comedy club and i would have a beer on stage on a stool and uh one time you know i did my show i walked off stage and he said he had like this grass gravelly voice he goes hey regan he goes uh Give me a favor. Don't take a sip from your beer unless there was a laugh before that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
You guys are two very special retards. There you go. What's up, We Might Be Drunk podcast?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Because sometimes you're doing a joke and it doesn't get a laugh and you're still going over and taking a sip. Because wait till there's a laugh. And then when the laugh is coming down, you can take a sip. Yeah. He said, earn your sips. Oh, earn your sips. Earn your sips. I love that. I never forgot that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Well, I would only talk about a particular bit, like if you have a tagline or something like that. Something that they've already thought of that I think is good. You know, if you think of a tagline or maybe another way of saying a word here or there. Yeah. But I would never give somebody a performance joke. Oh. You know, like how to perform.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
My note would be, why don't you put the stool... Like in front of you.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And then you can look down without having to turn your back on it. Well, hold the sheet. So I would give that performance note.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Why don't you have them up here? Yeah. You can say them without having to look.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Yeah, I couldn't believe it. I remember seeing a guy years ago. This is about turning the back on the audience. He would walk on stage with a big boom box, right, and put it on the stool behind him. Oh, God, here we go.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Well, you think he's going to play music. He was just taping his own act. That was his tape recorder.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
So, you know, the little front part that comes out, he'd have a cassette in there.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
That's hilarious. This is in the 80s. Okay. It's at the comic strip in Portland. The sister club of the one in New York. So we'd go on stage, put this big giant boom box down, press play and record, turn around, do his act. He had to do more than a half, you know, he had to do 45 minutes. Sure. He never referred to it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
At the 30-minute mark, I don't know how he knew, he would stop, turn around, because the tape was only 30 minutes.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
He'd eject it. He'd undo it and flip it, put it back in, press play and record, turn back around and finish his act, and never mention what he did or that that was behind him. That's hilarious.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Dude, what the hell? And then he'd finish his set and walk off with his...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Do you listen to your sets? At that club where I started, I tape every show. I don't listen to every show. I used to listen to every show, but then it was torture. Now I'll only listen if I know there's something new or different. Same, same. So the club where I started, I would have a little tape recorder. I didn't want to bring it on stage. I didn't want to be the boombox guy.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
So I put it in a booth. off to the side that the comics would sit in. Oh, no. I already have a bad feeling about this. Oh, no. So I had it up here, like behind where you would sit. They introduced me. As they introduced me, they seat people in that booth. So they're there watching my act. I'm new. I've got a tape recorder behind me. They don't know that that's there. I did a joke.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
It got no laugh, and I hear this guy go... Oh, brother.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
The comic, right? No, no, no, no. It was an audience. They actually sat with.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I'm taking it back. I've never written a joke that was going for an oh, brother joke.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
oh boy oh true true yeah but then if you do make the comment and you realize it then you got to go back and make more comments and make it look like you knew all along yes you know i'm busting your job stand yeah that's a scary thing when you see that iphone rolling and you're like this guy's a fucking hack there's always that moment like You should just delete it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Ear to ear, double up. There was never that. It was gradual. It was always gradual. I never felt like, wow, yesterday was one thing and now today is a brand new kind of thing. The first time I remember people coming out specifically to see me Was that a, the first national TV thing I did was the MTV half hour comedy hour.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And it was the kind of thing where there was like four comics on the show, you know. Do you remember any of the other comics? I don't.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
So it came out. Yeah, there you go. Wow. Wow. Oh, my. Drive around. Wow. We're out for about 20 minutes.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Finally went back. Is that food ready yet? Drive around.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
So I did that show. It came out. And then I performed at a club up in Connecticut. And I remember there was these guys watching me like in the back of the room. And I remember them coming up to me and said that they came out specifically to...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Hey, Mark, Sam, Winnie, the whole crew. Congratulations on 200 episodes of We Might Be Drunk. That's a lot of drinking you've done. I'm proud of you guys for carrying on the torch. And Winnie, I mean, just a media presence like no other. It's the tongue hanging out. Even Myrtle's a fan, you know?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I wanted to watch it. A friend of mine's brother lived in New York City and I knew he had a TV. So I wanted to go watch myself the first time I'm on television. So I go to watch with my buddy's friend. I show up his... My... My buddy's brother isn't even there. His roommate is there. Oh, hilarious. Who knows I'm coming and I'm like, hi, I'm the guy that wants to watch himself on television. Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
So I sat down on the couch with this guy behind me who I don't know.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And I'm watching myself like I'm on national TV, if you will. The guy behind me didn't laugh one time.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
So I watched the whole set. And then I got up and I said, hey, man, thanks for letting me use the TV. And he said, yeah, no problem. He didn't give me one compliment or anything. I just left. It was the most awkward experience ever. Wow.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Yeah. At the time, that's when things started to, you know, where I started drawing a little bit. Wow. I was drawing like four guys at a time.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
To get booked at comedy clubs, this was – I'll show you how long ago it was. This was before tapes. I would take Greyhound buses. I would perform at a club. I would find out the closest city that had a comedy club because comedy was starting to become a thing. And I would take a Greyhound bus to that next city and audition.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And that's how I would get gigs is taking Greyhound buses from city to city.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And you're auditioning to headline or to feature? No, just to open or middle. Wow. I wasn't even headlining at the time. This is just to get –
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Tell us that old gals still got a career. It's pretty good. Congratulations on 200 episodes. Thank you. Don't drive. Hey, Mark and Sam, congrats on 200 episodes.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I did one. I take a Greyhound bus to some city. I do the audition. the person who booked it, this woman said, I'm kind of full up for now. Call me in six months. So I call her. I wait six months. Wait, you took it and you just let? You rode there? I took the Greyhound bus to this city. She said, I'm booked up for the short term. You didn't explain like, is there any way?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I'm sorry. So after the audition, she said, I'm booked up for the short term. Call me in six months. So I call her in six months and she said, you know what? I'm sorry. I'm already – I booked for the next nine months already. Why don't you call me in nine months after that? So I can't take a hint.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
So to the day, nine months. Wow. I call. And I said, hi, this is Brian Regan. I auditioned for you, remember, a couple years ago. And then you told me to call in six months. And then you told me to call nine months later. Well, here I am on the phone. And she said, well, then I guess I lied, OK? Damn. She's like, don't you get the hint, buddy? Six months, nine months.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Wow. Even though that would hurt, I'd rather you just say I don't think you're right for the room.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
See, me, I would have called her the nine months. How about now? You ready to go to the movies?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
wow you see that's how hard comedy was back then it was like being a fucking like a a singer in a band you know but there was four places to do it it's so bizarre to have your act that you think you know you think it's funny right you hope yeah you hope and then you stand in front of somebody who's never seen it before and they watch you and it's just like an audience but it's a booker they they could love it or they yeah did the set go well
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I did a show one time. Richard Jenny was the headliner. I was the middle act. Richard Jenny's fantastic.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Love him. And it's at a comedy club. After the show, the owner, Richard Jenny and I are standing next to each other. The owner points to Richard Jenny and goes- Great set. And then he points to me and goes, and you had a journeyman set. And I said, thank you. And I didn't know what that meant. And I never knew what that meant.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Congrats, boys. Hey, guys. Congratulations. 2,000 shows. That is phenomenal. And I've listened and watched every single episode. I remember when Whitney was just a little puppy.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And then about 10 years after that, I was like, I'm going to look up what that meant. Wow. And it meant adequate, but not really more than that. That sucks. But I'm glad I waited 10 years because I took it as a compliment for 10 years. I'm like, hey, if you're looking for somebody to do journeyman sets, I'm your guy. What a weird thing to say to somebody.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Unbelievable performer. He's fantastic. I actually have an album of his that was made after he passed away. I guess it was stuff that he had recorded and some people put it together. It's not produced great because you could hear that it was cobbled together from different shows, but a lot of funny stuff in there. Yeah. You got him right there. There he is. He was the man.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
He had a whole bit about when NFL referees first started using microphones. Because prior to that, they would have just to make the signals.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And he had this great routine about an NFL ref about to give a penalty and then starting to feel bad that he's judging these guys. And he's like, you know, who am I to judge these guys? Is my life perfect? No. And then he got like this self-introspection thing. Right. It is like three minutes of him even lying on the ground at the football going, you know, I made a lot of bad decisions in my life.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Gosh, now I'm going to blank. But there's a lot of comics out there who became like road comics in the sense that they weren't really – pushing necessarily to do anything interesting or creative, the kind of stuff that audiences would laugh at that didn't necessarily come off as unique to the comedy world.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Dennis, my brother Dennis. When I first started, I thought the philosophy was you should learn to follow anything. So I never requested to work with clean comedians. It's like whatever I followed, I followed and I would just do my best. But then it got to the point where Sometimes people were coming out specifically to see me. Yeah. And they liked the fact that it was clean.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
So then I felt awkward having somebody go before me who's filthy when that's not necessarily what these people came out to see.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
So I would want clean acts in front of me, but I never wanted to censor anybody. So I would always tell the club... book somebody who's already clean. I don't want you to book somebody who doesn't like to work that way and tell them the night they show up, hey, you got to work clean tonight because I didn't want to do that. So I wanted clubs to book clean acts in front of me.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
But sometimes the clubs would just book some but anybody. And then that night they would tell them. And I would tell some guys would go on stage with a chip on their shoulder. Because they were told 15 minutes before the show started that they're supposed to work clean. And I'm like, well, that's not what I asked for. Right.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Yeah. It was never – when I first started, I wasn't completely clean, but I was always 95% clean just because that's how I think comedically.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I'm saying it was 95% clean. Oh, okay. I had 5% of my act was, you know, dirty stuff. Yeah. And the reason I went 100% was just because of being meticulous, not because of – It wasn't like a statement like, wow, I think clean is better. I'm like, I wonder what it would feel like to just do a whole show without saying certain words or going in certain directions. Because I enjoy it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
It's a challenge. Sure. And over the fun of it, you know. See how hard I can get people laughing without this, that, or the other. And I just started enjoying it. But it was never a – I never did it –
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Dennis Wolfberg, great comedian. Yep. Used to have a joke in his act where he was a teacher before he became a comedian and he said that his name is Wolfberg and he would have students yell out, hey, wolf shit. And that was the punchline. And he would go, no, it's Wolfberg. He had a very weird delivery. Yeah. And then he did that joke on The Tonight Show and he couldn't say wolf shit.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
He changed it to wolf butt. I saw him do the show on the Tonight Show. He said wolf butt instead of wolf shit. And it didn't get a laugh. And I saw the look in his eyes like that's supposed to kill. Whoa. And that was another reason at the time where I was like, I don't ever want to get to a point where I can't take anything that I do and not put it on TV.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Like if I got lucky enough to do TV spots. Totally. So that was another reason why I decided to go clean.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
norm mcdonald is a genius yeah it's harder i try not to go that far with it because there are plenty comedians plenty of comedians out there who are dirty or blue or whatever you want to call it who i think are brilliant totally so i i to me it's just different it's not better it's just different yeah different way of doing yeah we've genres of music we've right exactly right i mean uh i want to ask you this are you the first comic who did the live special because i feel like
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I did the first live one on Comedy Central. Yeah. But I believe Seinfeld had done a live special on HBO. Really?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
That was live? Yes. I don't know if that was live. Well, I don't know if that was the one, but I believe he did a live special. Really? Before I – but I was the first one to do it on Comedy Central.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
With one commercial. Oh, okay. I didn't want any commercials. They wanted to do a commercial break. It's kind of hard to explain, but – I didn't want there to be a five-minute break in the middle of my show for the audience. Right, right. So the first 30 minutes – I told the audience before I started. I said, listen, there has to be a five-minute commercial break.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I didn't tell them I had to emcee to the audience. Yeah. So I'm going to finish a joke at the 30-minute mark. I'm going to take a sip of water. I'm going to put it down. Then I'm going to take another sip of water and put it down and then come back and get right into my act. So the second 30 minutes of the live special was delayed by five minutes.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Mark, Sam, congrats on 200 episodes of We Might Be Drunk. 200 episodes? I think at this point, you are drunk.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I didn't want the audience to sit there for five minutes and then come back live. So I just went right back into it and they just held that by five minutes.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
No. Okay. No, I wanted to help in the editing and the down road. So I took a sip, took another sip, and I did that for editing purposes. Got to earn the sips.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
There you go. You were right. Wow. So that was Seinfeld doing a live special on HBO.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
It was the hardest thing I ever did as well. Really? It was a laser pointer on his head for a little bit. I remember that. Because it was live and they couldn't stop it. Wow. So there was something in the back with a little laser pointer on his head. Yeah. During that live special. He also got heckled. Fucking with him. Yeah. Fucking with him. That's hilarious. And then it stopped.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
you got me i can't think of anything it's live you know it's probably the most nervous i've ever been performing what was your decision to do it because i because i had done specials before um and i wanted to do i wanted to experience it yeah just see what it was like to give it a go you know what i mean i don't think i'll do another one i mean i Yeah. And knock one out. Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Because if you do screw up, you know, my fear obviously was somebody heckles, somebody does something, you screw up, and there's no fixing it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
With the phone, like on an ice bath. Yeah, right.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
It's the hardest I've ever concentrated... Like every word you're trying to nail it. You're trying to enunciate and hit it and hit it and hit it. And it's weird because like we perform live every time we're doing a show. Yeah. Live and you don't have that fear. It's true. You could flub in front of 300 people. But it's just the magnitude of it with how many people could be watching.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
But all the press like, you know, you do press leading up to it. And that was always what people wanted to talk about. Are you worried about something screwing up? Are you worried about there being a problem? You're worried about being an issue. And I'm like, I'm kind of hoping that it goes well and that it's just a good comedy show. And it's almost like people are looking for.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
That was good. Hey Mark and Sam, congrats on 200 episodes together. No better combination than two traumatized men and a lot of alcohol.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
The thing I don't like about a situation like that is because then all of the comedy itself – All the stuff that you worked on becomes second to that moment.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
So you could do an hour of stuff that you've worked on for a long time. You're proud of it. And then somebody yells something in the middle of it. Even if you deal with it and get a great laugh off it, after the show, that's what everybody talks about. And you go, what about this stuff? That it put some effort into. True.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Hey, congrats to the less gay or better joke writing versions of us. 200 episodes.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
But he actually figured out, he did a high wire?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Yes. With an eye towards, I don't know, when would I want to wrap up? As much as I love doing what I do... I've been at it a while, and I still love being on stage doing it. Uh-oh, getting nervous. Well, but it's like you also want to get out there and travel the world.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
You guys are killing it. You are. I don't want to do this video. You don't?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Everywhere, you know? I figured you'd been everywhere doing shows. No, I haven't. You haven't gone international? Canada. I did one show in London. Come on. And other than that, I have not performed internationally.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Sort it over. No, that was so much better. Oh, for real?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I'd like to perform in Australia, but that hasn't happened yet. I'm surprised. Who's his agent? I took a greyhound to Oxford. I'm supposed to be calling him in nine months. Five minutes in Melbourne.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And you live in Vegas. Live in Vegas. My son is also in college. He's in college in Las Vegas. My daughter's in college here in New York. And yeah, I've been in Vegas for like 20 years.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Yeah. Just tell them, fuck off. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not happy for your success. Hey, congratulations to you guys. That's so insincere. Do the regular how you really feel. For real how I feel? Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
But I don't do it a lot. I mean, I like to... I don't go and do guest sets a lot. Yeah. What's your home life like?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Girlfriend and I hang out. Sometimes at a casino.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
No. Oh, that's what I heard. No, just chill out. Play blackjack. Nothing exciting.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Las Vegas just broke the record for heat with 118 degrees. One of the days. It's the hottest it's ever been since they've been recording it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
A lot of people move from California to Nevada because there's no state tax.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
All right. That's nice. And Florida. That's why all the athletes live in Florida. Tiger Woods and all those guys, they like to live in Florida. My understanding is there's no state tax there.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
But I would think if you're Tiger Woods... Thank you. Thank you so much. If you're making $100 million, say, in a year... Do you need to save like another four million from state taxes? Like I never understood.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Appreciate you guys having me on. What's the cool way of saying it? The cast?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Oh, that's a good question. I saw the first show at the Sphere. Whoa.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
U2. Is it amazing? Yeah. Unbelievable. Wow. I feel like that's a touristy thing though, right? The sphere? Yeah, but I wanted to go check it out. I've actually, I saw U2 twice there. Not that I'm a big U2 fan, but I just like to experience what it was like. And the imagery on the walls was incredible. It's crazy.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
What was – the first night, I was telling people the only thing that wasn't necessary that night was the band U2. Because they just – you're just looking at the walls the whole time. And the second time I went, about a month later, U2 was still performing there, but they had already changed it. I could tell that the band was like, all right, enough with the – the stuff on the walls. Right, right.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I mean, they still have it, but there were plenty of songs where the focus was on them, and then they would just put them up on the wall. I kind of like that. It was back to, this is still a concert. Right, wow. You know, it's not like going to the movies. There you go. That's incredible. Yeah. It's really amazing.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
When you flip your cassette around, I'll do five while you're flipping your boombox cassette. We'll bring the boombox. Do you guys perform out there? Yeah. He just did the win.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
It's closing up. I did the Mirage with Ray Romano. That's cool. That's a good show. And now I perform over at the Venetian.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Yeah, it's pretty cool. It's a good setup for comedy. I mean, it wasn't designed. The room I'm in isn't designed for comedy, but it works great.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I've never been in there. All right. When friends and family come out, they always want to go there, and I'm like, what the hell? Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
You know that Pawn Stars thing? Yeah. You know that they just pumped that guy with all that knowledge, information. Nobody knows all that stuff off the top of their head. I know, right? You know, they're handing him like a sword. Yes. And he's like, you know, this is a 1907 sword. It was used in France. Exactly. You don't know that off the top of your head. He knows everything.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
One thing. Apparently, people enjoy television-wise that I don't enjoy at all is watching the bartering. I don't know why.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
You watch a guy go, I'll give you $2,000. No, no, no. I want $5,000. All right. I'll give you $2,500. No, I want $4,000. What kind of television is this? I'll give you $3,000. No, how about $3,700? $3,700. I'm on the edge of my seat. How about $3,200? I love it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I can't read anymore, man. It's hard. I can read, but I just – there's so much that you can just watch that it's hard for me – To sit down and read. My attention span, it's so challenging.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I'm on a flight one time. Guy next to me has a Sunday newspaper. You know how big that is, right? He's got the whole giant thing. He's working his way through it. Boom, boom, boom, boom. I'm over here with my headphones on. I have nothing in front of me. He finishes his newspaper and goes, here, I thought you'd like to read the paper. Whoa. And I said, thank you.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
realizing he was giving me his trash. And I fell for it. And now I've got this big, giant, stupid newspaper all over my lap. I didn't want to read any of it. Of course. And I went, this guy played me, man. All I had to do was go, no, thank you. Yeah. You keep your stupid newspaper. Wow.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And I had to pretend to read it for a while.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
What would your last emoji be? Like, if you knew you were dying, I assume they have a tombstone or something. Yeah. Yeah, true. And so instead of your final words, you have your final- Tweet. Your final tweet.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Another great movie? Yeah, please. Porky's Three.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
We had a drive-in movie about, I don't know, a mile away from our house. But the family next door had a tree with a treehouse in it. And we would go over there and climb the tree and get in the treehouse with binoculars. And we could watch the R-rated movies a mile away with binoculars. Even with binoculars, it was like this big. Yeah. Wow. We're not supposed to be doing this.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I'm in Eau Claire. I don't know if that's up there. That's tomorrow night. Oh, that'll be out. Oh, you guys are moving ahead there. Yeah, I got some shows. Hell yeah.

We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
All right. Well, thank you. Thank you. You guys ever do shows together?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Do a show together. Do a podcast on the stage. People would eat it up.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Come on. I would not be able to talk for more than five minutes. Well, you just did it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
No, I would not be good at it. I admire people who do podcasts. I could never do it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I can't – I don't know. I mean, I'm wired as a stand-up, and the podcast world came along after I'd been doing it for a while. I really do admire people who do it like you guys, but I don't know that I would have anything to say. I don't – All right.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I would have a – I'll do my podcast, Full Head of Hair Regan. And it'll be one minute long. We'll have like a one minute podcast.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I like that. Hey, how you doing? Brian Regan here. I got a full head of hair and I'm going to be in Eau Claire Tuesday. Thanks for listening in and we'll see you tomorrow on the one minute podcast.

We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
You see something? Gray. I had gray hair for many years, but I was coloring it. Like I went prematurely gray. Oh, I didn't know that. I went prematurely gray. I don't know what age, but I was coloring my hair for...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
20 30 years i don't know what like in my early 40s i think wow i started going gray i had no idea but i hated it you know having to color my hair you know and i and during covid i'm like i'm not coloring my hair and then when shows started opening up i'm like i'm not coloring my hair for for these shows and then i'm like i like it and it looks cool i thought maybe this would grow in brown
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Well, we won in Woodford. I would have done this if I had known. Next time. Come back on. I'll have you back in six to nine months.

Yay. All right. Thanks, Ryan Regan. Yeah. I tried a joke down there. I was like, Katrina came through here, huh? I'm happy about all of the destruction. Nothing. No, nothing.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Everybody's laughing except the people in New Orleans.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
It was 05. Oh, I got a coaster over here and everything, man.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Florida, right? Started in Fort Lauderdale. Whoa. The comic strip in New York opened a sister club, if you will. I don't know why I'm calling it a sister club. It could be a brother club. It could be another club. So they opened what I called a sister club in Fort Lauderdale, and that's where I started. I grew up in Miami, Florida, drove up to, uh, the comic strip to audition.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
Yeah. Hey, Sam and Mark. That's my air conditioner in the background. I should shut that off, but I'm not going to do that. Happy 200th episode, and yeah. Not much more I can say. Good energy.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And, uh, you got there during the day and you would draw numbers. I knew nothing about anything, you know, all these people out front. I drew like number seven or something. And, uh, Right after, and the show was going to be that night. So like four or five people came up to me and said, I'll trade, I'll trade. Oh. And I'm like, I don't know what number seven means, but I ain't trading.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
And it meant you went up in the middle of the show. Nice gooey middle. And so that was my first time on stage. The whole show is auditioners. No, they actually had headliners. The comic strip in Fort Lauderdale, this was like before comedy started. had really exploded around the country, so nobody knew how to do a show. They had three co-headliners, all of whom did 45 minutes. Shut up.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
So they had a local opener do 10. No, they had a local emcee do like 10, a local opener do another 10, then three 45-minute sets. Wow. Jesus, poor audience. I'm telling you. And then on a Monday, it was open mic night, so they would put open micers in between all of that. Jeez. So can you imagine being the third comic, the third 45-minute set?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
People have seen like two and a half hours of show before you even hit the stage.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
It's like they wanted the show to outlast the audience. Right, right, yeah. You know what I mean?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
he just started freaking out and they all just filed out and i was like this wasn't meant to be wow holy shit well at the comic strip on monday night they would slip the open micers in between i'm talking about the fort lauderdale one um but every other night of the week it was open seven nights a week they would let the locals go on after the show like you're talking about and uh
