Welcome back to Bar Talk – the podcast where classical music meets chaos (and apparently... the Macarena).

In this laugh-out-loud episode, Pokie and Walter reunite in NYC and spiral into stories involving mysterious Mahler rehearsals, jet lag recovery, and martinis gone wild. You’ll hear about:

• A hilariously random rehearsal encounter via text surveillance

• Walter’s 15-minute hourglass practice method vs. Pokie’s Schubert practice notebook madness

• Why ChatGPT is our new therapist (and brand strategist)

• An update on the Bolivian Bicentennial Challenge 🎉 (YouTube Premiere on Aug 6 @ 7PM EST!)

• Listener reviews that left us blushing (and slicing diamonds)

• Pet peeves: NYC subway etiquette + confusing clothing sizes

• A bonus therapy-inspired ChatGPT game you’ll want to try too
