Tonight on We Might Be Drunk, Mark and Sam welcome Big Jay Oakerson for a no-filter deep dive into the wild world of stand-up comedy. From dissecting racial punchlines and controversial ‘80s movies to chaos at Caroline’s and a full-blown comedy club meltdown, Big Jay brings the stories only he can tell. They also unpack the fine art of winning over hostile crowds, the rise and fall of podcast empires, and why JB Smoove might be the secret sauce to success. This one’s packed—grab a drink and enjoy.
