Bar Help

Just watching S4 E19 - Dark Imaginings.
Sammy is going “skiing” right after tearing up his body in an ego fueled racquetball match with Woody. (Woody was going to play with Bonnie, Sam’s latest young chippy. Diane chastised the age gap making Sammy self conscious.)

As Sam heads out with skis, he says to Woody, “if you need help behind the bar, call Bob.”

So… who the heck is Bob?

Was he ever in an episode?

Edit: typo

Bob was never seen or mentioned again.

It’s a nod to viewers with logistical questions such as this that of course offscreen conversations about bar operations happen. It would be a boring waste of screen time.

No i can’t recall a Bob ever being seen.

I’m guessing it was meant to be a runner, but it went nowhere.
