Ep. 114: Prom — Is It a Banger?

Listen to “Prom — Is It a Banger?” on Spreaker.

Put on your corsages and boutonnières, y’all — we’re going to prom! Leslie and Ron are both trying to direct a youth of Pawnee to their preferred career paths, with predictably uncomfortable results.

Meanwhile, April and Andy head to the prom despite April’s protests (don’t worry, ma’am, Andy will have her back by 11) and Ben and Tom are both DJing the dance. Who will be the better music master?

Plus, Joey eats an entire bowl of caramel, Sean isn’t very good at video games that require dance moves, a new and improved way to watch sports games, and we reflect on our own prom experiences. Spoiler alert: Some of them were WILD.

Ep. 113: I Think You’re Fine. Like a Solid B-Minus.

Parks n Wrecked Podcast Logo

Listen to “I Think You're Fine. Like a Solid B-Minus.” on Spreaker.

Surprise, surprise, Leslie is annoying. She really hasn’t had a good stretch of episodes, has she? Anyway, she tries to replace Ann by ranking the rest of her friends. That’ll turn out great.

Meanwhile, Ben and Tom are trying to pick up some tents but Rob Huebel is getting in the way! And Andy joins Ron for a trip out of the town and is as dumb as ever. Ron thought he would have a break from parenting. He was wrong.

Plus, Sean and I both have rants around football and fantasy football, Sean gets stabbed in the back while playing Among Us, we chat the weirdest ways to disperse of cans of tuna, the official rules of calling shotgun while driving, and Sean is watching a very tired man play Dance Dance Revolution.

Ep. 112: Storied Past, Bright Future

Parks n Wrecked Podcast Logo

Listen to “Storied Past, Bright Future” on Spreaker.

Leslie wants to introduce a new slogan for the merger of Pawnee and Eagleton, yet those wacky citizens are voting for joke answers.

Meanwhile, Donna and April are helping Tom find a location for his Tom’s Bistro idea, yet they keep stumbling upon terrible places. And Andy learns a secret about Ron Swanson.

Plus, Sean is drunk and playing Street Fighter, we discuss if Texas treasure Buc-ees is overrated, whether roulette is the silliest game you can play while at a casino, and the excitement that comes from exercising your right to vote. And subscribe to Crisp Bounce Pass!

Ep. 110: Be Ice Cream or Be Nothing

Parks n Wrecked Podcast Logo

Listen to “Be Ice Cream or Be Nothing” on Spreaker.

Leslie and Ben are celebrating their anniversary, but Leslie’s too busy trying to manage a spat between Pawnee and Eagleton. That means Larry is the lucky recipient of all of Ben’s thoughtful gifts, including a couples massage, a horse-drawn carriage, and ballroom dancing lessons.

Meanwhile, April leaves a mean message about Donna on Yelp, Ron takes on veganism and frozen yogurt, and a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary bickers a whole lot. We also get our first glimpse of the Unity Concert! Such exciting times.

Plus, Haleigh is upset at many things, we reminisce about the time Sean guzzled wine during his birthday party and got a bunch of comedians mad at him during another birthday party, and the absurdity of Pokemon battles.

Also, we apologize for the technical difficulties at the beginning of this episode. Technology is real dumb, y’all. Speaking of which, here’s a great article about TikTok that shows how addictive social media is.

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. 107: Completely Shaved, Like an Eel

Parks n Wrecked Podcast Logo

Listen to “Completely Shaved, Like an Eel” on Spreaker.

Leslie is in extra annoying mode this episode, because she realizes she’s designed a well-oiled machine of an office that can operate just fine without her. Ben attempts to prank half the office and the police get involved. You can imagine how Ben gets, since he becomes more incoherent than Dawn Lazarus whenever law enforcement comes around.

Meanwhile, Chris and Ann decide to get married. Or maybe they don’t. There’s a lot of back and forth. Jerry’s also choking on crackers. Like, for a long time.

Plus, Joey forgets the plot to Zoolander, we try to figure out the proper way to shorten “hacky sack”, and the joys of performing concerts around the house to an imaginary audience.

Also: here’s a PSA to get registered to vote and counted for the census. DO IT.

Ep. 104: I Need to Go Lie Down for 45 Minutes…No, An Hour! A Full Hour!

Parks n Wrecked Podcast Logo

Listen to “I Need to Go Lie Down for 45 Minutes…No, An Hour! A Full Hour!” on Spreaker.

Leslie has already been recalled, so it’s time for her to be a loose cannon! This is one of our “Pawneeans are pretty darn dumb” episodes, so hope you’re ready for some stupidity. A full hour of stupidity! Sadly, Ben ends up out of a job by the end of this episode, and it’s all Leslie’s fault. They also seem to forget she still has a job within the parks and rec department, but let’s not worry about that.

Meanwhile, Chris is reading a ton of baby books authored by celebrities, Ron gets metaphorical with Moby Dick, and just about everyone else is comparing the Parks people to dogs. Indianapolis Colts legends Andrew Luck and Reggie Wayne are back in this episode, too, for some reason.

Plus, the top radio stations from our childhood, how gross the Drink Ums Gatorade knock-off drinks look, parties with frogs, and we’re helping Sean out with some potential matches on Hinge.

Ep. 103: Bloosh! It’s a Recall Vote

Parks n Wrecked Podcast Logo

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. 101: That Has Never Been True

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “That Has Never Been True” on Spreaker.

Sean STRONGLY dislikes this episode, and he really ain’t wrong. Donna accidentally tweets out something personal from the Parks and Rec Department’s Twitter account and faces the wrath of big government. Plus Leslie learns something surprising about her one of her prized employees.

Meanwhile, Ben and Ron have the best moments of the episode trying to write a new will for Ron, as Ben struggles not to say accounting puns. And Tom has one of his creepiest episodes yet!

Plus, we discuss frozen yogurt adventures, playing on slip’n’slides, how Hulu commercials seem to be pretty targeting Sean’s specific viewing habits, and there’s actually some real-life parks and rec action in this episode. It seems like that has never been true, so how exciting!

Ep. 99: This Calls for Some Celebratory Lunges

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “This Calls for Some Celebratory Lunges” on Spreaker.

There are so many guest stars in this episode! June Diane Raphael, Sam Elliott, Billy Eichner, Melinda Cohen, and a handful of other folks join the Pawnee crew after the town absorbs Eagleton, but will they all survive until the end of the episode? Magic 8 Ball says all signs point to no.

Meanwhile, Ben and Chris are trimming the fat of the Eagleton accounting crew, all while Chris does celebratory lunges. Can you think of a better way to show your excitement?

Plus, Haleigh attended her best friend’s wedding (while practicing social distancing), Sean considers a move to Colorado, we chat about the old Super Nintendo game Super Baseball 2020, and we talk about the glorious home arcade action that these new Arcade1Up cabinets provide, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and NBA Jam. You can finally find out Sean’s favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!

Hope you’re ready to jump, because this episode is all over the place.
