On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) welcomes cellist, singer, and composer Emily Hope Price to the pod! On tap in this week’s Bar Talk are Hank Azaria’s long awaited Apu apology and the fellas’ predictions and final thoughts on their favorite competition shows “The Challenge” and “Top Chef.” Emily discusses what it’s like to go from life on tour to self employment and creating whole new worlds at home. The accomplished cellist takes us on a journey from fourth grade music lessons to grad school to non-classical musical exploration to falling in love with film scoring and beyond! In this week’s game, Emily and the guys compare arcade games to alien films from playing pinball in the “Twilight Zone” to the classic “Alien” versus “Aliens” debate and whether or not skee ball is better than pop-a-shot. George gets excited about the upcoming release of HBO’s “Mare of Easttown,” and Dave looks ahead to the WNBA draft. Producer Marybess chats mental health resources and self care, with George and Dave weighing in on practices they’ve adopted to battle the blues. Everyone, stay safe and healthy, and wear your mask over your f*cking nose.
