Ep. 64: Take Me Out to the Ballgame, Take Me Out to the Game

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “Take Me Out to the Ballgame, Take Me Out to the Game” on Spreaker.

Dave the Cop returns to try and win Leslie back. Meanwhile, Ben still can’t speak normally around police officers, and Andy is trying to write a hit song, but he sadly can’t recreate the magic of 5,000 Candles in the Wind…but maybe he CAN with a little help from one Duke Silver.

On our end, Joey is butchering trivia left and right, Haleigh knows some people who are very quick at peeing, and we give plenty of speed dating advice to Sean. Feel free to share your best tips! Plus we chat mascots of our various schools.

Chris Traeger also does a brilliant job singing the classic hit “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” But don’t just believe us – here it is.

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “Can We Please Find a Date for Ann?” on Spreaker.

The Parks and Rec gang is looking to set up Ann on some dates, which is confusing, because Sean is right here. Meanwhile, Chris Traeger is SO VERY INCREDIBLY sad after his breakup with Millicent Gergich. Ben, Ron, and Andy go on an adventure to solve Leslie’s complex scavenger hunt. Shenanigans ensue.

Plus, we talk Valentine’s Day hearts, movies that might be considered mildly questionable by today’s standards, and Sean discusses his own scavenger hunt prowess. Also, why is there no hip hop station here in Austin? We’re starting our own radio station!

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “Gutterballs and Breakups” on Spreaker.

We’ve got a classic Parks and Rec episode! Half the gang goes bowling while the other half cold calls people for donations. Leslie inadvertently sabotages her own campaign, Tom unleashes an unorthodox bowling technique, and Chris Traeger goes from super excited to super sad in a matter of minutes. We also learn how tall most of the cast of Parks and Rec is – they’re a short bunch!

Plus, we discuss the growing popularity of pickleball, the excitement of doing focus groups, and Haleigh’s skill at doing the limbo.

There’s also a BRAND NEW TRIVIA format for Parks n Wrecked. As you may expect, the anticipation is palpable. Let’s dive on in!

Listen to “Bobby Newport and the Ad Campaign” on Spreaker.

Leslie Knope needs to make a new campaign ad – but Bobby Newport stands in her way. Kind of. Will the team go with Leslie’s kind ad or Ben Wyatt’s smear campaign? Meanwhile, Andy and April just learned about health insurance and are trying to get tested for every disease.

Listen to “Get On Your Feet!” on Spreaker.

Who’s ready to get on your feet? Leslie Knope is back on the campaign trail! What adventures will she get up to? Meanwhile, Ben Wyatt is STRUGGLING trying to entertain himself between jobs, and we get to see Pawnee legend Pistol Pete Desillio in action. What a treat!

We also talk about weird fortunes from fortune cookies, do terrible Chris Traeger impressions, and discuss weird phrases like “that’s more stick than carrot.” And Sean’s disdain for The Office rears its ugly head.

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “What Did You Get Me for Christmas?” on Spreaker.

Leslie Knope isn’t allowed to work in the government, so she tries her hand at being a concerned citizen. Meanwhile, Ben is out and about searching for a new job while the rest of the gang is cooking up a little fun treat for their fearless owner.

Leslie’s also handing out Christmas gifts, which makes us dive into Sean’s own favorite presents. We also discuss inappropriate flag football team names, being extras in commercials, and our first Nintendo video games.

Additionally, Joey is apparently the only one who enjoys Friday Night Lights. These other kids wouldn’t know character if Tim Riggins tackled it out of them.

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “I Hold Myself In Contempt!” on Spreaker.

Leslie Knope is ON TRIAL. What for? Well, you’ll have to tune in to find out. Plus we’re chatting about the wonders of Google Earth, get a bit nostalgic with Matchbox Twenty, the many unethical things going on during this episode, Sean’s super old laptop, being punished via caning or a belt, how many songs are about candy, and Sean’s extreme love/hate affair with football. On a related note, one of Joey’s doppelgangers recently retired from the NFL and now he’s sad.

This episode also has arguably the best cold open of the entire series. Here it is. Tell us you disagree (you cannot). Oh yeah, and Sean doesn’t even know what Citizen Kane is! What has he been doing with his life?
