Ep. 106: Time is Money, Money is Power, Power is Pizza, Pizza is Knowledge

Listen to “Time is Money, Money is Power, Power is Pizza, Pizza is Knowledge” on Spreaker.

It’s Leslie’s last day in the city council office! She’s saying her goodbyes — will there be one last shenanigan before she heads out? Probably. It IS Parks and Rec, after all.

Meanwhile, Tom is trying to find his next big investment deal and runs a mini Shark Tank experience for people to share their great ideas. Pizza is knowledge, yo. And Ann and Chris debate whether they want to find out the sex of their baby.

Plus, weddings that don’t have open bars, whether Miley Cyrus or Selena Gomez has more jams, and Sean needs to take some probiotics, STAT.

Ep. 105: Cones of Dunshire

Listen to “Cones of Dunshire” on Spreaker.

Introducing…the Cones of Dunshire! Leslie also uses the insult “dinkhead,” which is a new one to all of us. She’s trying to win her last battle against Councilman Jamm, and it includes a hibachi grill, karaoke, and plenty of shenanigans. We wouldn’t expect anything less.

Meanwhile, Ron is trying to sell his cabin, and Tom, Donna, and April are all involved. Who will end up with the cabin? That hipster couple? A Sam Elliott-type character (but not the Sam Elliott that guest-starred a few episodes ago)? The tension is palpable!

Plus, a creative way to watch college sports live during a time of social distancing, Sean gives updates on his dating life, and he and Joey foolishly got coerced into playing fantasy football. Gross.

Oh, and we’ve finally figured out a punishment for the loser of trivia this season! Tune in to see what it is.

Ep. 103: Bloosh! It’s a Recall Vote

Listen to “Bloosh! It's a Recall Vote” on Spreaker.

Leslie Knope is up for a recall vote! Will she make it out the other side? Let’s find out! It’s also Halloween, despite this episode airing in mid-November. But we don’t need to pay attention to minor details like that.

Meanwhile, Annabel Porter, Pawnee’s version of Gwyneth Paltrow, stops by to share some hot tips and recruit Ron Swanson for her Bloosh lifestyle line of products. Tom and Donna are thrilled. Ron is not.

Plus, one of Sean’s favorite spots in college, whether The Great Gatsby is a good book or not, and Haleigh crushes Sean’s dreams by ruining the illusion of magic in one of this episode’s scenes. What a bummer.

Ep. 76: Pawnee Porpoises and Therapy Sessions

Listen to “Pawnee Porpoises and Therapy Sessions” on Spreaker.

Leslie is trying to keep a pool open for the Pawnee Porpoises youth swim team, but she has to jump through quite a few hoops to make it happen. Classic Jeremy Jamm ruining our plans. Ben and April are stuck in a parking garage for the entire episode. Ron goes on a date with a woman that’s not named Tammy. WHAT?! Chris Traeger has a therapist now, so that means the parks department has to install a 3-1-1 line? Look, this part of the plot doesn’t really make sense, but here we are.

Sean is MAD this episode. Why? Because it illustrates everything that’s wrong with BIG POLITICS. But he sure is impressed by Leslie’s perm. Plus we reminisce about our first encounters with smoking cigars. Much like Tom, we did not like them.

Ep. 73: A Season for the Ages

Listen to “A Season for the Ages” on Spreaker.

Season 4 is in the books! Sean gives a recap of the season, including some of his favorite moments, as well as his least favorite moments (spoiler: it’s anytime Tom and Ann are dating). Then we turn the tables and run him over with an AMA, where we pepper him with all the questions. Find out things like what’s happened with Sean’s enemy that keeps coming into his job, his greatest accomplishments at work, when he let a bunch of children run rampant all over the place, and a heartwarming moment that will make you smile. And we could all use a little more of those warm and fuzzy feelings, you know?

Sean also makes his prediction for Season 5, plus next week’s episode, “Ms. Knope Goes to Washington.” Will he be spot on or is he just a big dreamer? We’ll find out next time!

Ep. 72: The Quest for City Council

Listen to “The Quest for City Council” on Spreaker.

It’s the start of the year but the end of the season – the time has finally come to vote for city council. Will Leslie defeat Bobby Newport? Can Ben Wyatt handle a drink of whiskey, neat? What kind of alternate career options are available for Andy and April? How many times did Chris Traeger and Jen Barkley have sex in one night? Are Ann and Tom really getting back together?

We’ve got questions of our own, too. Will Sean pass out during the episode due to allergies? Will Haleigh defeat Sean in the season’s trivia? Is Malort the worst drink ever? Will Sean try a new sport in 2020? And is he truly a Hufflepuff? Is it even worth it to watch a New Year’s Eve celebration? Can Sean flex his fingers at all?

Find out the answers plus a lot more in our first episode of the new year!
