Ep. 133: Joe Biden Knows His Way Around a Seafood Risotto

Listen to “Joe Biden Knows His Way Around a Seafood Risotto” on Spreaker.

We’re finishing up what we started last episode! We see the Parks and Rec crew doing their darnedest to satisfy one more Pawnee citizen before they scatter across the country and never (or at least rarely) see each other in the same room again.

Meanwhile, we’re continuing to jump ahead to the future, from 2018 all the way to 2035. And there are lots of great questions to be answered. Will Shauna Malwae-Tweep find eternal happiness? How big will Andy and April’s kid’s head be? Where will Ron end up working? What will Leslie have named after her, and will it be displeasing? Will we have special guest appearances and will Sean be super excited about them?

Plus, how many college basketball players can Haleigh name? Sean finally pays up his season 6 trivia loss debt (check some of the footage here), the proper way to row a canoe, what Ben Wyatt smells like, a walk through the different Two-Faces from Batman, whether Leslie would be a good boss, and the best games on The Price is Right. Joey apologizes for getting the name of Cliffhangers wrong.

And we’ve got a special guest this episode! Friend of the podcast and Sean’s coworker Heather joins to chat about the grand finale of Parks and Rec (but not of Parks n Wrecked). We’ll try to teach her how to speak into the microphone next time but hopefully, you can still hear her many witty comments.

Ep. 119: Six Seasons in the Books! And A Farewell to 2020

Listen to “Six Seasons in the Books! And A Farewell to 2020” on Spreaker.

Well, we’ve made it through Season 6 and basically 2020, so there’s lots of reflecting going on. We reminisce about the very first episode of Parks n Wrecked and how wildly unprofessional it was (as if we’ve gotten more professional, HA). And of course, we’re going over some of the key moments of Season 6 of Parks and Rec.

Remember when Andy had a job in London and hopped into a dumpster? Or how about the time Chris Bosh made a guest appearance as an Eagletonian high schooler player despite being nearly 30 years old? Or when Leslie Knope got recalled?

Yes, we all remember the Unity Concert, and there was plenty of personal growth in Season 6. This was the season where Ann and Chris left us after birthing a beautiful child. Donna’s a realtor now. April is working with animals, which she LOVES. Tom sells his old company and opened up Tom’s Bistro. Ron and Diane got married and had a baby and we barely heard about it! Larry retired yet he’s still working all the time. Classic Larry. And then we time-hopped three years at the end of the season!

Plus, wild moments with the wind and ultimate frisbee, an in-depth look at butt fumbles, a deep dive into the Logical Journey of the Zoombinis computer game, and a full-on reflection of 2020 as a whole. We also take a trivia quiz that crashes on us halfway through, and Sean alienates his friends by criticizing both The Office and Parks and Rec.

And remember: 2020 may have been terrible but we all still accomplished good things this year. Take a moment to reflect on those and have a wonderful and relaxing holiday. We’ll see you next year!

Oh, and did you want to check out some of the other things we mentioned? We’d love to see you at Good People, Cool Things and Crisp Bounce Pass or dropping a review on this Bic Pen for Her or the book How to Avoid Huge Ships.

Ep. 109: Keep Your Tears in Your Eyes, Where They Belong

Parks n Wrecked Podcast Logo

Listen to “Keep Your Tears In Your Eyes, Where They Belong” on Spreaker.

We’re saying goodbye to Chris and Ann, and Sean could not be more distraught (mainly about Ann, he’s fine with Chris’s departure). The characters on Parks and Rec are all saying their respective goodbyes — Chris is proud of April, Donna grabs Chris’s butt, and Leslie puts on a party with all the normal and wacky holidays Ann and crew have celebrated, including Easter, New Year’s, and Talk Like a Pittsburgh Pirate Day.

Meanwhile, there are all kinds of Pawnee cameos in this episode. Kathryn Pinewood, Perd Hapley, Pete Disellio…they’re all here and offering various levels of help to Leslie.

Plus, the things Sean has cut himself off from after spending a ton of money on new tires, the best Kelly Clarkson songs to see live, and an eager Parks n Wrecked fan shares his Rocket League user ID with us. How nice!

After the success of last week’s episode, Sean’s got the University of Texas game on in the background this time. And this ain’t no first half shenanigans — we’re in the fourth quarter and overtime, baby!

P.S. A lot has happened since we last recorded, so here’s another reminder: PLEASE vote this year. Not just for the President, but at your local levels, too.

Ep. 38: Give Me All the Bacon and Eggs You Have

Listen to “Give Me All the Bacon and Eggs You Have” on Spreaker.

We’re packing our bags and headed to Indianapolis in an episode filled with good quotes, good food, and terrible smells. We cover steaks, talk about The Rock hosting SNL, get interrupted by a phone call, and pay homage to Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki, who played his final game last night. What fun!

We always share some things we discuss on our social channels, so be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook!
