TV Series: Bars with Erinn Ruth Know Your Role(s)

On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) welcomes supremely talented actor, former badass bartender, and lady dragon lawyer Erinn Ruth to the pod! Topics on tap in today’s Bar Talk include the recent MLB lockout, the premiere of "Top Chef: Houston," and this week’s Bartender's Choice, courtesy of George, who asks if so much TV inspired by real life events is a good thing? Having appeared on both “Billions” and the recently released “Super Pumped,” Erinn grants the fellas insight into the brilliance of creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien, and their infatuation with actors. Later, she describes how a Cirque du Soleil performer taught her to wield a 12-foot bullwhip, and why being an actor is a delicious “cheat.” This week’s game has the gang bar hopping and channel surfing in the best way, as they compare TV series to bars, streaming “Justified” season 2 at the Turkey’s Nest in Brooklyn, “Seinfeld” at Harry’s Corner in NOLA, and “Mash” at Max Cab Deuce in Miami. In today’s Last Call, Dave gets excited for Taika Waititi’s new HBOMax series “Our Flag Means Death” and George weighs in on the NCAA season.
