Joe the Plumber is now Joe the Drinker
Joe the Plumber (real name Samuel Wurzelbacher) had quite the New York nightlife experience on Saturday night.
Wurzelbacher and pals got lost en route to Jay-Z’s high-class 40/40 club, stopping at Flatiron bar Live Bait for a pit stop and directions before evenutally finding their way to the club, he told us on Sunday via phone from Cincinnati. The two bars are a few blocks from each other.
“Wow, it’s intense,” said Wurzelbacher, describing the city’s scene. “It’s just a lot for a country boy.”
The country’s most famous “plumber” said 40/40 was a blast, he liked the music “everybody was super nice” and his name was even announced over the loudspeaker.
Wurzelbacher was in town taping a guest spot on Mike Huckabee’s FOX News show.
