Dancers: Seafood Dishes with Carlos Cruz Velázquez

On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) welcomes dancer, choreographer, and restaurant manager Carlos Cruz Velázquez to the pod! On tap in this week’s Bar Talk are Friday’s “Master of None” season three premiere and the merits of accountability and grace versus cancel culture, Sabrina Ionescu’s rising star on the NY Liberty WNBA team, and ordering chorizo and eggs with Charles Grodin while applauding Paul Mooney. Carlos weighs on the struggles of New York restaurants over the past year and the joys and pitfalls of re-opening. The first male dancer to receive a Fulbright Scholarship for dance, Carlos discusses his love for emotional improv, celebration of the human form, and his desire to make dance accessible to everyone. This week’s game gets “fish-ical” as Carlos and the boys compare dancers to seafood dishes from J.Lo’s baja from the block fish tacos to Bob Fosse’s “Mein Lieber Herr” seafood gumbo and more! George looks ahead to hockey and basketball playoffs while Dave enjoys “Those Who Wish Me Dead” on HBO Max and “Ziwe” on Showtime. Producer Marybess turns our attention to Color of Change and how to get involved in the fight for racial justice.
