On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) welcomes award-winning writer, podcast host, and comedian Emily Heller to the pod! This week’s Bar talk has Dave offering up some timely reviews and finger hearts, while George regales us with his COVID vaccine adventure. Emily and the boys discuss the importance of finding the right hot sauce, the power of gardening and pet ownership in a pandemic, their reactions to the documentary “Framing Britney Spears” from The NY Times Presents, and shifting from stand-up to comedy-writing when it isn’t safe to comedy in person. This week’s game hits home as Emily, George, and Dave cast their perfect sitcom families, focusing on “Family Ties” whether you’re “Married With Children” or “Fresh Off the Boat.” Dave looks ahead to the release of Chloé Zhao’s “Nomadland” and George gets jittery as he prepares to attempt an in-person stand-up set in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Lastly, producer Marybess turns our attention to the fight for trans rights across the country and what listeners can do to help.
