Ep. 116: Why Don’t You Take a Whale Sounds Break?

Listen to “Why Don't You Take a Whale Sounds Break?” on Spreaker.

Leslie and Ben knew they were expecting a child, but THREE children?! What are the odds? (Probably one in 8,000, according to Dr. Saperstein.) They don’t want anyone to know until they’re ready to tell everyone, but that means Andy has to keep the couple’s secret.

Meanwhile, Andy needs to play several Johnny Karate shows without spilling the beans, April is nice to Larry for perhaps the first time all series, and Donna and Tom volunteer at the elementary school. We also meet Keegan-Michael Key as Joe, and Aziz Ansari is conspicuously absent. Or maybe he was just filming Master of None, who knows.

Plus, the history of Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, Sean delivers some ASMR via a Red Lobster order that arrives at his door mid-episode, when people say “let me know if you need anything” during times of grief or sadness, and why are we making cold, refreshing drinks spicy?

Speaking of spice, Sean also thinks Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters are the same band. Feel free to let him know how wrong he is.

Ep. 115: I’ll Bring It Down a THOUSAND Notches If I Have To

Listen to “I’ll Bring It Down a THOUSAND Notches If I Have To” on Spreaker.

Leslie and Andy are on a quest to find a headliner for the Unity Concert. Their first choice? Bo Burnham, playing a big ol’ jerk face named Chipp McCapp. Luckily, they’re able to pivot to their second choice, Jeff Tweedy, the lead singer of the totally made-up band Land Ho and the totally real band Wilco.

Meanwhile, Ron babysits Ben, who is extremely drunk, and they run into some tough going. And Tom, April, and Donna seek out a new sommelier for Tom’s Bistro. And we’re all getting notes of dried robin’s blood and just a hint of a robot’s bathwater.

Plus, Sean is incredibly under the weather this episode, but he’s POWERING THROUGH. We also discuss gaining massive amounts of weight during the pandemic, wild events going on in the neighborhood, and there’s exciting news in Sean’s and Haleigh’s families!

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. 111: Somebody Follow Me, I’m Distraught!

Parks n Wrecked Podcast Logo

Listen to “Somebody Follow Me, I'm Distraught!” on Spreaker.

Leslie tries to tear down a wall between Pawnee and Eagleton, only to unleash a swarm of bees that somehow only stings Eagletonians. And Jamm. There’s a lot of fighting going on in this episode, which may or may not inspire Sean’s top five.

Meanwhile, the Unity Concert is starting to come together! Tom and Ben team up to pitch an angel investor on Tom’s Bistro, a new business venture. Oh, and Ron and Diane had a child. He’d appreciate it if you’d keep quiet around him.

Plus, we explore old Kool-Aid and Hawaiian Punch commercials, dive into the Thomas the Tank Engine theme song, chat about the best and worst games on The Price is Right, and get critical of how many fans are watching college football games in person. In fact, we talk a LOT about sports this episode. Apologies if that’s not your jam (or Jamm), but hopefully it’s still great fun.

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. 108: Peas Be Kind to Others

Parks n Wrecked Podcast Logo

Listen to “Peas Be Kind to Others” on Spreaker.

Hope you’re not too chard-headed this episode because we’re going to the farmers market! There’s an UNCOMFORTABLE amount of chard, including in shot form. Leslie and Ben are in the midst of a government spat with each other, all of Ron’s music is in a rectangle, and Donna and Tom host a whine and cheese club. Peas be kind to others, y’all.

Meanwhile, Andy and April introduce us to the magic of Johnny Karate, and Chris irritates Ann with how on top of everything he is.

Plus, mnemonic devices to remember directions, using huge headphones to block out people from talking or singing, and there’s drama in the Sean and Haleigh’s bowling league.

Finally, Sean had the bright idea to record this episode during a Cowboys game, and his team decided to get themselves down 20-0 while we were recording. But on the plus side, they ended up winning, so Sean got much happier than he was during this episode!

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.
