Sam Morril and Mark Normand ask the question we all ask ourselves after good conversation makes you lose track of how many drinks you have had. We Might Be Drunk Podcast is two empire state comedians telling stories and talking life, New York City, intoxicating stories, and of course the past and present state of comedy.
In this week’s episode, comedian Rachel Feinstein joins the show to dive into a range of topics that will have you in stitches. From discussing the quirks of Jewish culture with a nasal voice to sharing their hilarious encounters with Uber drivers, these three comedic powerhouses deliver non-stop laughs and uproarious anecdotes.

He is a regular on Comedy Central’s This Week at the Comedy Cellar, where he appears frequently when not touring cities across the nation. He was named one of Comedy Central’s Comics to Watch in 2011 and has performed multiple stand-up sets on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Late, Late Show with James Corden, and Conan.
