On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) brings you One More Round with George and Dave as the gang wishes Dave’s dad a Happy Bagel Birthday and celebrates George’s safe return to live music. On tap in this week’s Bar Talk are confusion and frustration over new CDC COVID guidelines, a very Musk-y SNL, and our “Coming Attractions” segment, where Dave and George dive into trailers that caught their attention this week from Spielberg’s “West Side Story” teaser to the powerful documentary “Her Name is Chef.” This week’s game has the fellas getting sporty as they compare rookie seasons to debut albums from Adam Morrison’s “Ghetto Superstar” to “College Dropout” Kerry Wood and more! George gets excited about “all one minute and a half” of the Kentucky Derby and the upcoming NFL draft, while Dave gives flowers to David Attenborough’s “Life in Color” and Soft Power Vote’s “Level Up” newsletter. Producer Marybess talks about India’s overwhelming COVID crisis and what listeners can do to help.
