All right, I'm sorry. I hope she feels better. She puked on him yesterday. He told me yesterday he got puked on by his kid. So his daughter really is sick, so maybe it's bad. But I was bitching about how expensive this fucking... I was like, it's out of control. You're living in an airport at this point.
We Might Be Drunk

We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
No, I think they're probably upset. Yeah, I think the danger is half of what it is with pedophiles. It's well with most sex offenders of any kind.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
because like Cosby was a great example I always said about Cosby I was like I don't understand like he's so rich why wouldn't he just tell a woman what he's into yeah I'd be like look sign this thing that says you know I'm gonna drug you and if you're into it then you drink this you're gonna pass out I'm gonna bang you sure but if you're like no that's that's not what he gets off on he gets exactly yeah so interesting you know

But anyway, that's the movie that Jackie... Remember the kid, the guy Jackie Haley was in the Bad News Bears? He made that weird comeback? Yes, yes. This was the movie that he got nominated for. Whoa!
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
But he pays a pedophile in it. And one of the things he says to this woman who's of age is, like, you're not going to tell on me, right? You're not going to tell on me. Because, like, that's part of, like, what they get off on. Yeah, yeah. Like, you know, it's our secret, you know. Sure. All that shit, so.

Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
No, that's not. That's a gangster. Stampinato. Yeah, Scotland is kind of nuts. Oh, yeah. Everybody's really nice, but there's a really wild side to it. It's like Ireland. Everybody's nice, but then there's this wild side. Totally. The sun goes down. People start going fucking crazy.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Yeah, dude, I was in Ireland in Galway, and I was in an Uber, and this guy was like, he was wasted. He was like swerving all over the place or whatever. The driver? Yeah. Oh, wow. And then the next night, I was in another Uber, and I was talking to the Uber driver, and he's like, you know, have you enjoyed your stay? You getting around town okay?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
And I go, well, my Uber driver last night, I think he was drunk. He was swerving everywhere. And he goes, no, we don't do that anymore. But he said it like, yeah, that's just how we used to roll. He was like, but we try not to do that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Oh, a pina colada. The street in my town, the main street where I have my house, in the summertime, it starts on Memorial Day and it goes until, I think, like Halloween. Every weekend, 6 p.m., road is shut down. You can't drive down it until Monday morning. Whoa. Open container. Bars all have carts outside. They're selling jello shots in the street. It's fucking awesome. That's great.

We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
I mean, could there be anything worse than a kid with money? I mean, could you imagine the attitude on this fucking kid? I mean, Richie Rich. Look at the way he was sitting on Fallon. I know. He looked like he deserved to be there. She's like, yeah, of course I'm fucking here. That's a good point. You always lose a star.

We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
He does look familiar. I guess, you know, we've probably done shows with him somewhere.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
It's wild. So they found his manifesto? Three pages, handwritten. Had it on him. It's only three pages?

We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah

Wait, Tom Brady's the guy they just roasted, right? Yeah. Goddamn. Man, you really don't watch sports. No, not at all. Like, literally not at all. The only time I watch is if the Eagles... are in the Super Bowl or get to the game right before the Super Bowl, whatever that game is.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
I was going to say, it's probably his family, right? Yeah, all right. Was his dad going to come, or did he just send the kid? Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah

Wings. He's in one of my favorite horror movies ever. I'm a huge horror movie fan. He was in a horror movie called Demon Knight. It was a Tales from the Crypt movie. And he's in it. So we're on set. But I wasn't in scenes with him, but he was there. And I kept seeing him walking by and stuff, like as we were shooting. And I was like...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
I want to fucking tell him so bad how much I love Demon Knight, but I don't want to look like a fanboy on set or whatever. Yeah, but that's a deep cut. So I'm in line for lunch. I haven't met him yet. I'm in line for lunch. There's a guy standing behind me. The guy behind me goes, what do they have up there, steak? And I turn and it's him. And I go, oh, yeah, they got steak.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah

We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
And he's like, I love The Bonfire. Yeah, you guys are great, man. And he's like, I really want to come to the Wells Fargo show. Shane did. I'm really bummed I missed you guys. And I was like... And so then we start talking, and he's like mid-sentence five minutes later, and I go, I'm sorry, I gotta cut you off. It's blowing my fucking mind right now that you know who the fuck I am.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Because all I wanted to do all day was tell you how much I love Demon Knight. Yeah. And he goes, ah, you're the one. I wish there was a million more of you motherfuckers. There you go. This guy's awesome, man. I can't believe anyone listened to Bonfire. It's a horror movie. Sorry. A horror movie about, wait, what'd you say?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
By the way, he said the full title. He goes, I listened to the bonfire with Big Jay Oakerson and Robert Kelly. He said the whole title. I got out of the stoner years. Demon Knight, it's a horror movie about this guy is a demon. And this event happens every X amount of years where if he does all the right stuff and they don't stop him, demons will take over the earth and blah, blah, blah, blah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
So it's about the people that are in the house trying to fight him and prevent it from happening. And, you know, it's fun. It's super fun.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
It was still, I mean this in a good way, it still felt like an indie movie. Okay, good. It was still loose. It wasn't insane. But yeah, no, but full craft services and stuff. And there was these two ladies every day. And me and Stav and Shane would laugh about it every day because they'd come around with this cart in between meals in case you were hungry in between. Oh, yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
And me and Stav were always like, get that fucking cart away from me right now. Because it was never, it was always like, hey guys, we've got cheese steaks. Hey guys, anybody want an Italian hoagie? Please, lady, I'm trying to live somewhat decently. Oh, by the Rizzler? Take it easy. She came around one day with Chick-fil-A. She had mountains of Chick-fil-A. It was insane. Wow. They were awesome.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Well, I wouldn't say the cast of Tires is hot guys. Wow, that's true. That's true. They look like guys who eat cheesesteaks.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Do they have this guy going around with the cheesesteak? I think on those sets it's way more like somebody's coming around with like, we made guacamole. And salad. Yeah, whatever, right? Got it, got it. Okay.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
I remember I did Louie, and Louie, there was a guy, because this was shot a lot like Louie's. Louie's the same thing. It was very like, it felt like an indie movie. Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
That was fun, yeah. That was hilarious. Thanks, man. That was fun.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
The line, my favorite line didn't make it into the show because I couldn't get through it without laughing because he was like feeding me lines to say. And he goes, Joe, I want you to say he literally just was like he threw the camera on me. And immediately he goes, Joe, I want you to say, do they validate parking? Because the fat cunt out front says they don't. And I couldn't. It was too much.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
He fed it to me. And I was like, I was laughing so hard. That's a great. It was fun. Yeah. The fat cunt. He's another guy who can just riff gold. Oh, yeah. He had a lady walk. Oh, that's what I was going to say. He had a lady walking around with a tray and it just had a bowl of guacamole and chips. Like, you just walk up to this lady holding the tray and eat guacamole.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, you know, I'm hanging on somehow. Yeah, you can act, too. You're a good actor. Yeah, well, thank you. Well, I mean, I'd like to get a real acting job. Oh, you would? I'd like to get something where there's consistency. The one thing I got ever where I was going to really be on the show, like almost every episode, was this multicam called Living Biblically. Hmm.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
And I played the like office lech, like the what's that word? You know, I was like the horny guy. The creep. Yeah. The Lothario. That's the one. I played the office Lothario. Oh, wow. And I was kind of the heel to Jay, the main character, who was a guy that was trying to live his life by the Bible. And anyway, I got we were it was at CBS and Is that Tony Rock? Yeah, Tony Rock was in it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Dave Krumholtz. It was fun. My friend Pat Walsh created it and he's my podcast partner. The bald guy's in Frasier. Yeah. Anyway. There were these female executives at CBS, and they never once would smile at me. They were never nice to me. I couldn't figure it out. Andy Ackerman, who directed it... From Seinfeld. Yeah, would tell me... He's like the Scorsese of sitcoms.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
He directed, like, Cheers, Frasier, so it's nuts. Anyway... He would tell me, he'd be like, yeah, we just had a meeting with the network. I'm like, they fucking hate your character. They said you're not likable. And he said to them one day, he goes, oh, he's not likable? Then I guess we did our fucking job. He's not supposed to be likable. He's the bad guy. He's the heel.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
And they were just hammering, hammering, hammering, whatever. And then we shot the pilot. It went great. I was a huge part of the pilot. The story revolved around my character. And then they cut the character two weeks before it went to series. You're playing a douche. Well, I couldn't figure it out. And then guess what? Me Too happened. Ah. Les Moonves, head of CBS comedy, went down hard.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
And I was like, that's why they hated this character. Wow.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
I know. But you're not raping. No, no, but I think they were like, this is a little, we don't like this. On the nose? Yeah. A little on the nose. Damn. Like out of resentment towards Moonves.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Theoretically. I mean, I never got that explanation. That's my theory.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
It's wild, dude, because you forget. Keep going. Keep doing it. Have fun. Enjoy yourself. All right. I'm having a good time. No, you forget. It was right before Me Too. And now when I look back at the show, I'm like, you would never write a character like this on a show. No. Ever.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
You'd never be like, let's have a guy that constantly cheats on his wife and brags about it and describes the sex on a multicam sitcom. You'd be like, what are you nuts? They won't let that go on. Yeah. And it's like it changed so drastically.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Well, on the new season of Frasier, like the reboot. Yeah. He goes back. There's an episode where he goes back to Seattle and goes back to the radio station and Bulldog is there. Bulldog was the character that would like slap chicks on the ass. It was wild. Again, you couldn't do it today. But they had the greatest style for it. Bulldog goes, Doc, guess what? I'm gay. Ah, that is a good solve.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Yeah, and Frazier goes, that's amazing, Bulldog. So all of that horrible behavior that you subjected those poor women to was just you repressing who you really were. And he goes, no, no, I still do it. I just do it to dudes now. I was like, that's a perfect solve. Beautiful out. Yeah, don't rewrite the character. Don't make him have a moment where he's like, I've learned. Yeah. Just like, no.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
He tried to be like, yeah, I had a hard time dealing with being gay, so I had to tackle a 14-year-old. Yeah, the Rizzler. Pecker, whatever he did.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Well, gay people came out when Kevin Spacey did that. They were like, fuck you. Oh, wow. This isn't like your scapegoat, you know?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
You'll get him in two seconds. He's doing Comic-Cons now. No. What the hell? But there was pay. Well, you know, you guys could pay. Maybe you cover an Uber. We cover Ubers.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
And a regular. $40 in each direction to get to this fucking thing. We got you. Christ almighty. That's true. You hate to have to ask. You just offer. He offers. He offers. Do you not offer? Where are you going after? We'll give you a ride. I'm busting balls, Scott. Okay. I'm just joking with you. I will take the Ubers. Oh. But I'm busting balls. No, do you know how many podcasts? It's wild.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
I've been really thinking about this lately. That don't Uber you? That don't Uber you, don't offer. You're like, guys, I'm spending money. I know. To come do the thing. Exposure. Have somebody just be like, hey, we got you.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
He's a man of money. Of means, yeah, yeah. Remind me to tell you a story after. Ooh. Yeah. All right, all right.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
But also, too. It's so passive-aggressive. It's so dismissive. It's very dismissive. How condescending is that? Condescending is that. It's like, I'm going to turn your grievance into me being the bigger person and wishing you a spiritual whatever the fuck. Exactly.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
It's a real... I've been really obsessed with... That's a good out. Praise Allah. Part of my faith.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
No, I've just been really hung up on this thing lately about like how it's just such a take it or leave it culture anymore.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
I apologize. I didn't react stronger to that. But I was honestly, as you were telling the story, thinking about how bad I felt for both of you that I'm the only person that showed up today. Like, this is a real. Yeah. What the hell are you? Didn't we have another guest?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Yeah, yeah. No, I'm happy to be here, and I'm happy that you're happy I'm here. We are happy.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Sorry goes a long way. It's ridiculous. I bought these shirts from a... It's not real vintage, but it was a thing I saw on Instagram where the shop made convincingly looking vintage shirts or whatever. They were new shirts, but they weathered them. They aged them. They were faded. They looked great. So I ordered three of them. They also said they were true to size. So there are three larges.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
They show up. The largest fit like literally like double XLs.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
They're on the cheapest fucking solid black T-shirts. You can imagine. It's just this shit weather design printed. Like, I got this at fucking Old Navy. And this looks more convincingly.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Yeah, isn't that crazy? That's wild. Isn't that crazy? Kind of ruins the brand. Yeah, the band that has a song where he goes, I got something to say, I killed your baby today.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Yeah, there's a t-shirt at Old Navy right now. I raped your mother. Yeah, anyway. That's wild. So I write to them and I go, guys... The shirts are completely misrepresented on your website. They do not look like you made them look. These are bad designs printed on cheap t-shirts. I want a refund. Three different people. I had to write three times. Three different fucking people.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
It's actually kind of like the thing with the insurance guy. Deny whatever the fuck. Dismiss. DeRosa in an oversized hoodie. Yeah, yeah. Dude, they kept writing me. They'd be like, we're sorry you're not happy with the product. Keep in mind, these are made to order, so the weathering will look different on every... And I go, there was no weather... You didn't age these. Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
You sold the thing that you're... You promised the thing that you're not selling. Well, keep in mind that it was three fucking people, and they kept saying, like, thanks for your understanding. We're happy to give you a full credit, and you keep the shirts. I go, I don't want a credit for more shit I didn't want to begin with. Give me a goddamn refund.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
And then finally, on the fourth fucking email, they were like, you can have a refund, but you have to cover the shipping costs to send it back.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
So guess what? I'll never do that. I'll never take the goddamn shirts. You just wanted them to be like, we fucked up. I wanted them to be like, here's a refund. Keep the shirts. Don't worry about it. Sorry about that. You know, never wear these. Never.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Yeah. So, uh, yeah. Uh, anyway, it's not a great story, but the point is, is this is where we're at people. It's relatable. This is the country we're living in.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Well, it's funny because I DM them also. And two of the emails, one of the emails I got was identical text to the... There you go. So they clearly had a form response. And I was... My friend used to work... No, it was at a bank. It was a bank. He said they were instructed because they keep a file open and they make notes about your calls to complain about shit.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
And he was like, until it says they've called three times, do not give them. He goes, because if they really want it and they're telling the truth, they will call three times. Right.

Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
He's got the most Italian name I've ever heard. Oh, my God. By the way, I've never... I'm not exaggerating. I have never, ever in life heard of anybody named Luigi. I haven't either. Except for Super Mario Brothers. Same. I have never encountered an actual Luigi ever, Matt. Yeah. Or heard of a guy whose name was Luigi.

Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
He just fucking posted, I guess he was with some friends of his that were Democrats or something. And they were all hanging out at his bar or whatever.

A pointless hole is pretty good. That's a keeper. That actually would be, that would actually be funny if there was an all-female show and they called it Pointless Holes to make fun of all.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
If you did your own produced show, you could call it Pointless Holes. It would be... Fucking hilarious. That's great. That you're making fun of these shows that are like vaginally termed or whatever.

Interesting choice. Weirdly, Rachel just got wet. You were so scared when I watered it, you chose to almost dump it all over the equipment instead of your own hat.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
That literally has to be magic that you just did. There's no other way that could have been anything but magic. I watched you pour the water in. The cup never left your left hand.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
It has to be magic. Unless it's some kind of water that evaporates or something.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
I mean, quickly evaporates. Did you ever see The Prestige? Yeah, great movie. Yeah, where he's like, you have to kill the bird. Like, that's the sacrifice. You want the bird disappearing trick to work? You have to kill the fucking bird.

Okay. All right. Can somebody just take Joe? I want magic to be real. Well, it ain't. Oh, I mean, it could be. That fucking blew our minds.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 212: Happy Chrisma-Hanukkah
Because I want to know what comes after we die. I see. Yeah, and if magic is real, there's a chance something is happening.
We Might Be Drunk

Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
What's up, Bodega Cats? This is former guest and former friend, let's be honest, Joe DeRosa. I'm just here to wish you congrats on 200 episodes. They might be drunk. I got to be honest, I thought it was about 478 at this point. But it's only been 200, which means there are a lot more to go. But I got to be honest, for a drinking podcast, 200 is a landmark. I don't think you are drunk.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 200: Brian Regan & Woodford Reserve
I don't think you're drinking enough. You sound a bit too motivated. He's got a drinking podcast. You hit about 16 eps and then you say, what do you say we celebrate? We did enough. Anyway, guys, look, I've made enough ha-has here. I love you both. Congrats, Sam and Mark and the crew. Salicues and everybody else. We might be drunk. I definitely am, right?
