Ep. 130: One-Way Ticket to the Funky Monkey Dunk Tank

Listen to “One-Way Ticket to the Funky Monkey Dunk Tank” on Spreaker.

With just a few episodes to go, we’re going to take a wild detour to Andy’s Johnny Karate kids show that doesn’t really advance the plot in any way. But, uh…it’s kind of silly occasionally, so…yay?

Andy gets top billing by being a big ol’ goofball, while April is worried that she’s ruining the one thing he loves by moving to Washington, D.C. Ben gets chided for being a nerd, Ron makes some wood, and John Cena shows up, for some reason. Look, it’s not a great episode, okay? We do like all the fake commercials spliced into the episode, though.

Meanwhile, SNL movies that were made from questionable premises, the hypocrisy of the NCAA, the joys of snacking on buckeyes, and how good would a Paunch Burger be in real life?

Plus, Sean achieved a HUGE milestone. Tune in to see what it is!

Ep. 128: Well Then, Welcome to the Terrordome

Listen to “Well Then, Welcome to the Terrordome” on Spreaker.

April no longer wants to work in the government, but she’s afraid to tell Leslie because, you know…it’s Leslie. She freaks out over a binder color change. We’ll see if April can pull this off — she deserves to be happy! And there are a ton of Senators in this episode — special shout out to Cory Booker and Orrin Hatch and their Polynesian folk band Across the Isle.

Meanwhile, back in Pawnee, Ben, Andy, and Ron are looking for a new career for April. We also learn Ron has at least three brothers. Are they just like him? Yes. Yes, they are.

Plus, far too much ASMR as Sean sips a new drink, weird and gross people at Chili’s, and having dance parties in your living room. Sean finally joined Twitter, too, so he’s gotten quite the wake-up call to that world thanks to Oprah’s interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

And it’s Haleigh’s birthday! Happy birthday, Haleigh!

Ep. 76: Pawnee Porpoises and Therapy Sessions

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “Pawnee Porpoises and Therapy Sessions” on Spreaker.

Leslie is trying to keep a pool open for the Pawnee Porpoises youth swim team, but she has to jump through quite a few hoops to make it happen. Classic Jeremy Jamm ruining our plans. Ben and April are stuck in a parking garage for the entire episode. Ron goes on a date with a woman that’s not named Tammy. WHAT?! Chris Traeger has a therapist now, so that means the parks department has to install a 3-1-1 line? Look, this part of the plot doesn’t really make sense, but here we are.

Sean is MAD this episode. Why? Because it illustrates everything that’s wrong with BIG POLITICS. But he sure is impressed by Leslie’s perm. Plus we reminisce about our first encounters with smoking cigars. Much like Tom, we did not like them.

Ep. 74: We’re Taking a Trip to Washington!

Listen to “We're Taking a Trip to Washington!” on Spreaker.

Welcome to Season 5! *The crowd goes wild* Leslie, Ben, April, and Andy are all in Washington, D.C. doing very big important government things. Meanwhile, Ron is hosting a BBQ and literally only has the meat, which is still alive. Which one could argue is the most important part, but still. At least give us a plate or something, man. Sean is thrilled that Tom and Ann are no longer an item.

We’re sampling Cookies and Cream Twix because apparently we’re part-timing in ASMR nowadays. We’re putting a twist on trivia, AND we’re adding a new bit: Categories! Exciting stuff all around. Joey also shares a tip for those Instagram Boomerang users out there. And after Chris reprimands Ron, we do a little roleplaying of Sean being stern towards Haleigh. How does that turn out? Finally, Sean shares a crappy situation from work.

Ep. 72: The Quest for City Council

Parks n Wrecked Logo - A podcast about Parks and Rec

Listen to “The Quest for City Council” on Spreaker.

It’s the start of the year but the end of the season – the time has finally come to vote for city council. Will Leslie defeat Bobby Newport? Can Ben Wyatt handle a drink of whiskey, neat? What kind of alternate career options are available for Andy and April? How many times did Chris Traeger and Jen Barkley have sex in one night? Are Ann and Tom really getting back together?

We’ve got questions of our own, too. Will Sean pass out during the episode due to allergies? Will Haleigh defeat Sean in the season’s trivia? Is Malort the worst drink ever? Will Sean try a new sport in 2020? And is he truly a Hufflepuff? Is it even worth it to watch a New Year’s Eve celebration? Can Sean flex his fingers at all?

Find out the answers plus a lot more in our first episode of the new year!
