On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) welcomes writer, comedian, and podcast host Hari Kondabolu to the pod! On tap in this week’s Bar Talk are the late, great Yaphet Kotto and Oscar Love for Oscar Snubs. Hari talks parenthood and family time during a pandemic, the amazing community behind his podcast “Politically Reactive,” the fight for racial equity, and his hopes and fears for the next generation. This week’s game has the gang assigning Weezer songs to NY athletes. George looks forward to the NCAA tournament, and Dave takes a deep dive into the film "Blue Collar." In the wake of the violence in Atlanta this week, producer Marybess turns our attention to the fight for human rights and reminds us to check in with each other, take care of ourselves, and show up actively in our allyship. Everyone, stay safe and healthy, and wear your mask over your f*cking nose.
