Origin: “Three Sheets” with Zane Lamprey

Jim-the-Cop, Jim Reisinger, is another one of my best friends. I met Jim when I started dating his ex-girlfriend, so at first we clearly didn’t like each other at all. But, as he was her brother’s best friend, he was always around and we eventually got to be friendly. Years later, when she and I broke up, Jim and I remained friends. She got the couch, I got Jim. When I married my wife, Jen, Jim was one of my groomsman. Sounds like a Movie-of-the-Week!

After college, Jim was accepted into the police academy, following in his father and brother’s footsteps, and became a Suffolk County Police officer. He was injured on the job (not from being shot in the leg or anything cool like that). He hurt his back so bad that he went through multiple surgeries and eventually had to have a disc removed. After being out of work for several years, he retired at age 36. He’s been very smart with his money and made some wise investments, and now drives a Bentley Continental GT. But he says he would trade it all if his back didn’t hurt…

In the Puerto Rico episode, Jim tagged along (it’s not like he had a job to go to). So, I dragged him into the show and beat him in a chugging contest. I beat him. He was invited back to the New York Pub Crawl episode and given a shot at redemption. After chugging, some other friends of mine, who were sitting in the background (my best friends growing up; Mark Bartlett and Jeff Foster) pointed out that Jim spilled his beer all down his chest. And the expression “Jim-The-Cop” was born.
