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.
