Ep. 32: What the Heck Did We Learn In Seasons 1 and 2?

Listen to “What the Heck Did We Learn In Seasons 1 and 2?” on Spreaker.

We’ve made it through Seasons 1 and 2, so what better way to celebrate than with an introspective? Sean chats about his top themes of the first two seasons, we recap our favorite characters and moments, and we take a very poorly worded quiz to test our knowledge. We go off on a ton of random tangents, too, from Pixar movies (Ratatouille is so underrated) to Pokemon moves. Hey, remember that time Joey and Sean tried to do every Pokemon move in real life? No? Well, luckily, you can check it out below.

Listen to “Can Freddy Spaghetti Save the Government?” on Spreaker.

We’re wrapping up Season 2 with mega excitement. Austin City Council Member Jimmy Flannigan – who the Austin Chronicle once called “Austin’s Leslie Knope” – joins us right in the middle of a government shutdown for a jam-packed episode. Leslie has a plan to save the government: Freddy Spaghetti, whose noodle-themed songs are just what Pawnee needs. We also discuss our misadventures with wine tasting, what to do when people think you’re looking at them funny, and Jimmy shares some of his stories from his time on City Council. It’s the perfect way to say goodbye to season two.

The Pawnee crew is putting together its summer catalog, which means we chat about our own experiences with modeling and acting. Spoiler alert: it’s all over the map.

Ep. 26: Everybody’s Picking on Jerry

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “Everyone's Picking on Jerry” on Spreaker.

Jerry gets mugged (kinda) and the gang feels bad for making fun of him. We talk about times when we’ve been bullies ourselves: Sean terrorized a row of children during a basketball game, Joey pushed a classmate into puddles, and Haleigh mean-mugged her now best friend for nearly an entire year. Sean also has a dance battle, and people are getting upset about scuff marks on a volleyball court. If that ain’t a jam-packed episode, we need to revisit what the word “jam-packed” means.
