Ep. 77: Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby!

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. 75: Soda Taxes and Training Interns

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.

Ep. 66: The Sweetest Sweet Sixteen

Jerry’s celebrating his 64th birthday (aka his Sweet Sixteen) and the gang is excited! Just kidding, they totally forgot. Meanwhile, Leslie is doing too much multitasking between her campaign and parks and rec duties, leading to lots of hilarious misadventures. We get lots of Champion in this episode, which is always a plus. And we learn a fun fact about Donna this episode, and it’s a huge part of our trivia. HOW FUN!

Tom and Ann are dating and it’s making Sean FURIOUS. Perhaps swayed by Champion’s screen time, our own pup mascot Franxie is trying to make appearances on this episode, too – you may hear her barking in the background. That’s very sweet of her. We also teach you about Trifecta, a terrific drinking game you can play at your next house party or social gathering.

Ep. 56: Can’t We All Just Get Along?

Leslie and Ben are FIGHTING at the Model UN meeting. Isn’t this supposed to be a peaceful time?! Meanwhile, Chris Traeger is getting more involved with Jerry’s daughter Millicent and recruits Donna, Ann, and of course Jerry to help. Plus we’re celebrating more than a year of Parks n Wrecked! On top of everything, someone is using a leaf blower outside our studio, and it is AUDIBLE. Hope those leaves learned their lesson.
