Listen to “I'll Kill Em… Soon As I'm Done With These Birds” on Spreaker.
This episode hits EXTREMELY close to home – Pawnee is simulating an avian flu pandemic right as we’re living a coronavirus pandemic. And perhaps in a fitting display of the world simply not giving an eff, this episode is also riddled with technical difficulties. But much like Pawnee, we will persevere!
In any case, Leslie is getting Jammed all over the place. She’s stuck with Ann and Chris in a simulation to test the city on their emergency preparedness. Meanwhile, Andy and April are studying for a police exam, and the rest of the gang is trying to round up chairs for the evening’s big gala. Donna found one and has a lead on another. The excitement is palpable.
Ron’s also fielding questions on a talk show, which warrants its own paragraph.
Plus, we’re talking about fire drills, Joey reminisces about his experience working on TV shows in college (and funny news reporter segments in general, like this one or this one). Oh, and he’s hearing things, too, like the word “pigeon.” And we’ve got more things to do during shelter in place! Check ‘em all out and let us know you’re favorites.
