Ep. 88: You’re Too Beautiful To Be Funny

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “You're Too Beautiful To Be Funny” on Spreaker.

Leslie and Ben are married, but you’d barely know it from this episode. Instead, Leslie is trying to give a funny speech at a correspondents’ lunch, though it’s gonna be hard when her speech gets stolen. And Ben has a new job at Sweetums – remember that from a previous episode? Because we sure don’t – and quickly realizes he needs to whip things into shape. Meanwhile, Ann – oh Ann, you’re too beautiful to be funny – is still looking for a sperm donor, and she’s considering one Chris Traeger. Talk about some palpable tension!

Plus, we’re diving into the phrase “open up a can of whoop-ass,” we briefly dive into how babies are made (it’s via storks, right?), and discuss our first CD purchases.

Ep. 75: Soda Taxes and Training Interns

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “Soda Taxes and Training Interns” on Spreaker.

Leslie wants to introduce a soda tax on the ABSURDLY large cups that Sweetums is selling to people. Across the country in Washington, D.C. Ben Wyatt tries to earn the respect of his interns. But first, he has to win over someone near and dear to his heart. While all of that’s going on, Tom and Chris try to get Andy into tip-top shape to join the police force. Andy runs a lot and it gets us winded.

Meanwhile, Sean is in incredible pain from all of the sports he’s been playing recently, we briefly talk about our favorite Oscars films (despite only seeing between 11 and 22 percent of the nominations), and we dissect the wonderful meme of Rob Lowe wearing a hat with the NFL logo on it. Joey also goes on a passionate rant against Apple despite having way too many Apple products, but the rant is only for like 30 seconds. Sorry, Siri.

After we recorded this episode, Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others were killed in a helicopter crash outside Los Angeles. We hopped on the phone to record an additional outro, sharing some of our favorite Kobe Bryant moments and what he accomplished with basketball, business, and storytelling. If you haven’t seen his Oscar-winning “Dear Basketball” short, we’d highly recommend it.
