A lot of people seem to be confused about the "Flip on the tele: wrestle with Jimmy" line. Steve (his step-father) was having a struggle with alcohol at this time. Jimmy, in this case, is a reference to Jim Beam. This line is pretty straight forward at this point. His step-father, Steven, is watching television, while downing Jim Beam. Also, people are some how screwing up the "bottle of Steven's" line. The 's is there to show possession. The bottle belongs to Steven (his step-father.) This whole song is about the struggle with alcoholism.
Actually, Jimmy refers to Rivers' brother, Leaves (legally, James Kitts). Rivers is trying to ignore the bottle of Heineken that's in his family's fridge, so he flips on the TV, and wrestles with his brother. Meanwhile that bottle is sitting in the fridge, and in the back of his mind, ready to blow, to make his stepfather leave, just as his father had.
