Ep. 87: Close Only Counts in Horse Grenades

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “Close Only Counts in Horse Grenades” on Spreaker.

Wait, are Leslie and Ben really going through with this whole “let’s get married tonight” thing? Sure seems like it! That means everyone has jobs. Leslie and Ann are working on procuring a dress. Ben and Chris are looking for wedding rings. Ron is walking Leslie down the aisle. Donna’s giving us GREAT vocals. Andy and April are finding marriage licenses. Tom and Jerry (hehe) are writing a speech.

But wait! Councilman Jamm is here to try and ruin everything. Luckily, the Pawnee parks crew isn’t about to let anyone get Jammed today. And Leslie and Ben will get their big day after all.

Plus, all kinds of drama around Animal Crossing, a deep dive into grenades (including a dissection of the song “Grenade” by Bruno Mars), and Joey is fired up about The Last Dance documentary on the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls. We also reminisce about the time our dog brought in a rat from outside. YIKES.

Ep. 79: Meet the Parents

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “Meet the Parents” on Spreaker.

Ben and Leslie are engaged – time to throw a party! There’s only one problem: Ben’s parents can’t stand each other, and Ben is worried they’ll derail the whole shindig. Meanwhile, Tom and Jean Ralphio have a new business idea, but it seems only Tom is taking it seriously. Will that be enough for Ron to invest? We’ll have to find out! Also, Chris is sad. But what else is new?

Sean’s planning a work trip FOR parks and rec activities. What a fun time! This week was Fat Tuesday and we certainly celebrated in style (via eating 65 pounds of food). He’s also furious over the new pizza from Pizza Hut that features cheese sticks as part of the crust. Things are just getting wild over here.

Ep. 78: An Episode Full of Surprises

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “An Episode Full of Surprises” on Spreaker.

It’s Halloween! Ron and Andy are in charge of Diane’s kids, for some reason. Leslie is flustered because she and Ben are planning to start their life together, but all of a sudden, Ben might not be coming back to Pawnee. What a surprise! But spoiler alert: it’s not the biggest surprise of the episode.

Meanwhile, some of the gang is watching thriller-we-wish-was-real Death Canoe 4. In more serious news, Jerry also suffers a fart attack, necessitating the need for a garage sale. What kind of fun treasure will the Pawnee crew dig up? Plus, it’s the birth of Rent-a-Swag! Tom finally has a great business idea, and we’re so proud of him.

We also dive into all the random pizza holidays that have been created over the past few years. And Joey shares a fun book worth checking out, Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything. What a tasty tome!

Ep. 77: Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby!

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “Let's Talk About Sex, Baby!” on Spreaker.

We’re talkin’ ‘bout sex, baby! Leslie has to teach senior citizens about sex education, but Marcia Langman (and her husband Marshall) are here to make things difficult. Meanwhile, Tommy Edamame is obsessed with screens, so Ron takes him out to get some fresh air and real-world experience. It’s disastrous, as you might expect.

Meanwhile, we share some of our more memorable sex education moments. Sean thinks April and Ben are about to become an item – will he prove to be a mind reader of the future? In the meantime, he’s mad about MANY things, including some that are actually topical to parks and rec. This could totally be a deleted scene from Parks and Rec! Except none of us were on the show so it would be a confusing B-plot. Either way, Mike Schur would probably dig it. Let’s get a reboot going!

We also sprinkle in Pokemon puns and noises throughout the episode. Which reminds us, Sean and Joey once re-enacted every Pokemon move in real life. Here it is!

Ep. 73: A Season for the Ages

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

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!

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “Treat Yo Self 2011!” on Spreaker.

TREAT. YO. SELF. This is our first introduction to Tom and Donna’s magical creation, one of the finest methods of self-care available, and we are enjoying it to the fullest. In the meantime, Leslie and Ron are locked in a face-off for the ages. Plus, the truth behind Girl Scout badges, the joy of making your own popcorn, shopping malls, and an outfit from this episode that made Sean incredibly happy and giddy.
