Ep. 62: Gutterballs and Breakups

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “Gutterballs and Breakups” on Spreaker.

We’ve got a classic Parks and Rec episode! Half the gang goes bowling while the other half cold calls people for donations. Leslie inadvertently sabotages her own campaign, Tom unleashes an unorthodox bowling technique, and Chris Traeger goes from super excited to super sad in a matter of minutes. We also learn how tall most of the cast of Parks and Rec is – they’re a short bunch!

Plus, we discuss the growing popularity of pickleball, the excitement of doing focus groups, and Haleigh’s skill at doing the limbo.

There’s also a BRAND NEW TRIVIA format for Parks n Wrecked. As you may expect, the anticipation is palpable. Let’s dive on in!

Who’s ready to get on your feet? Leslie Knope is back on the campaign trail! What adventures will she get up to? Meanwhile, Ben Wyatt is STRUGGLING trying to entertain himself between jobs, and we get to see Pawnee legend Pistol Pete Desillio in action. What a treat!

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “What Did You Get Me for Christmas?” on Spreaker.

Leslie Knope isn’t allowed to work in the government, so she tries her hand at being a concerned citizen. Meanwhile, Ben is out and about searching for a new job while the rest of the gang is cooking up a little fun treat for their fearless owner.

Leslie’s also handing out Christmas gifts, which makes us dive into Sean’s own favorite presents. We also discuss inappropriate flag football team names, being extras in commercials, and our first Nintendo video games.

Additionally, Joey is apparently the only one who enjoys Friday Night Lights. These other kids wouldn’t know character if Tim Riggins tackled it out of them.

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “I Hold Myself In Contempt!” on Spreaker.

Leslie Knope is ON TRIAL. What for? Well, you’ll have to tune in to find out. Plus we’re chatting about the wonders of Google Earth, get a bit nostalgic with Matchbox Twenty, the many unethical things going on during this episode, Sean’s super old laptop, being punished via caning or a belt, how many songs are about candy, and Sean’s extreme love/hate affair with football. On a related note, one of Joey’s doppelgangers recently retired from the NFL and now he’s sad.

This episode also has arguably the best cold open of the entire series. Here it is. Tell us you disagree (you cannot). Oh yeah, and Sean doesn’t even know what Citizen Kane is! What has he been doing with his life?
