A Parks and Recreation Pandemic Special
April 29, 2021 05:30 - 1 hour - 95.4 MBGoodness, this is a weird one. But would you expect anything less from the FINAL EPISODE EVER?! The Parks and Rec crew reunite several years after the series finale, hosting a handful of Gryzzl one-on-one and conference calls. All of our favorites are here — Leslie and Ron have a couple of touching heart-to-hearts and Donna is looking exceptionally good with her gorgeous lighting in her closet. We’ve got lots of fun cameos from folks like Councilman Jamm, Dennis Feinstein, Joan Callamezz...
Yes, I'm Ready. *Dramatic Music Intensifies*
April 22, 2021 07:00 - 58 minutes - 54 MBWe’re recapping season 7! What were the best moments from the last season ever of Parks of Rec? Certainly wasn’t the Johnny Karate musical show, we’ll tell you that much. And who are the best bit characters from the Pawnee crew? We’re covering it all! Plus, Sean and Haleigh take a quiz naming popular workplace sitcom characters, we talk about sock hops and what song would be delightful to hear during one, and Sean shares his experience of playing hockey and scoring a game-winning goal durin...
Joe Biden Knows His Way Around a Seafood Risotto
April 15, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 67.1 MBWe’re finishing up what we started last episode! We see the Parks and Rec crew doing their darnedest to satisfy one more Pawnee citizen before they scatter across the country and never (or at least rarely) see each other in the same room again. Meanwhile, we’re continuing to jump ahead to the future, from 2018 all the way to 2035. And there are lots of great questions to be answered. Will Shauna Malwae-Tweep find eternal happiness? How big will Andy and April’s kid’s head be? Where will Ron...
Don't Be Suspicious
April 08, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 78.6 MBSome of the crew is moving to Washington D.C. (and other places, as we’ll soon see), so Leslie is getting the gang together for one last ride. What started out as a presentation with song and dance turns into a final problem-solving adventure. Meanwhile, we’re jumping into the future! Will Craig and Typhoon end up together after all? What’s Donna up to six years from now? Will Andy ever learn about Sandra Day O’Connor? How many restaurants will Tom open up? Will Garry have a successful run ...
Pills, Baby!
April 01, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBMayor Gunderson has passed away, so the town needs to find a new mayor. That means Ben and April are on the job search for a suitable replacement. It’s a who’s who of Pawnee’s finest (and most ridiculous), and Garry is there to notarize whatever happens. But wait! This episode is called two funerals, so there must be another one — and Ron finds out it’s someone close to him. He, Donna, and Andy all pay their respects to a terrific barber. Meanwhile, Leslie convinces Tom that now is the time...
Ep. 131: One-Way Ticket to the Funky Monkey Dunk Tank
March 25, 2021 11:00 - 56 minutes - 49.3 MBWith 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 th...
One-Way Ticket to the Funky Monkey Dunk Tank
March 25, 2021 11:00 - 56 minutes - 49.3 MBWith 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.

Time to Get Baking, Daddy Want Pie!
March 18, 2021 13:25 - 58 minutes - 53.8 MBBen is running for Congress, and that means Leslie needs to make a pie. But, you know what? That’s pretty darn oppressive, so we bet Leslie and Ben can come up with a good plan to let folks know what’s what. Meanwhile, Ron, April, and Andy are on a treasure hunt for the ages to discover the whereabouts of a spare key Ron lent to April. Donna enjoys a nostalgia trip as she watches Garry drop all kinds of things down a grate at City Hall. There are plenty of guest spots in this episode, too,...
Well Then, Welcome to the Terrordome
March 12, 2021 01:00 - 1 hour - 60.1 MBApril 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 broth...
I AM Interested, But Now is Not the Time!
March 04, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 49.4 MBDonna and Joe are getting married! That means a lot of Meagles in one setting. It’s up to April to stop the drama that is sure to follow, which may include making Ginuwine cry. We also see Ron put his foot in his mouth in a rare case of being a spectacular buffoon around Tom and Lucy. Meanwhile, Leslie and Ben get drunk and commit to a pretty wild lifestyle change. We’ll have to find out what that is, but if Jen Barkley is involved, we’re all in. Questlove is also here, so it’s truly a good...
Seeing the Sun After the Snowpocalypse
February 25, 2021 10:00 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MBWe survived the Texas winter storm! As a result, there’s no episode of Parks and Rec to watch. Instead, we’re offering a look at some of the most intense moments from Snowpocalypse, such as Haleigh collecting snow to use as toilet water and Sean losing heat and water and then having his car turn sideways while driving on icy roads. Joey also reminisces about Oregon Trail II, we reflect on our favorite books and movies from high school and college, and share the best ways to make grilled che...
Treat Yo Self — In Beverly Hills!
February 18, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 74.4 MBAs Leslie and Ron are teaming up against Gryzzl, they learn Dennis Feinstein has bought JJ’s Diner. Uh-oh. Will they make a difference before Feinstein releases “The Hounds” on them? Meanwhile, Tom and Donna are enjoying Treat Yourself 2017 — in Beverly Hills! And it just might encourage Tom to finally ask out Lucy. Just go for it, you wimp! Plus, can you name all the singers from Lady Marmalade? We’re sure trying to. And we’re chatting times we’ve spun out while driving, revisiting our ou...
Biden the Rails
February 11, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBGryzzl is using data mining to get inside people’s heads and provide them with all the information they would ever find useful. Huh, sounds vaguely familiar, doesn’t it? Anyway, this is a fantastic episode with just about every character showing their best characteristics. Leslie and Ben try to find a way to overtake Gryzzl, and they’re starting to get some help from their old crew. Ron cracks a funny joke about vegetables. Johnny Karate makes another appearance. Craig lists a lot of things...
Work Proximity Associates
February 04, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBThe rest of the crew have locked Leslie and Ron up so maybe they’ll finally start getting along. We can only hope! As a result, this episode is largely Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman showcasing their great chemistry together. We ain’t too mad about that. We learn what Project Morningstar is, that’s kind of cool! Leslie and Ron also have many sappy moments, Post-It Notes are wasted, whiskey is drunk, and a saxophone is played. Plus, Joey wonders if he’ll ever find an IPA he enjoys, we put ou...
It's F*cking Milk
January 28, 2021 12:00 - 53 minutes - 43 MBLeslie and Ron are each holding press conferences to promote their bids for land. Ron, Tom, and Donna have Anabel Porter from Bloosh, and Leslie has…a descendant of William Henry Harrison, ninth President of the United States. What a standoff! Meanwhile, Terry has become a notary—“No, Terry!”—and is delighting in every minute of it. Ben has to continually get things signed, and Andy and April try to figure out what the latter is good at so she can turn it into her career. Plus, putting Tex...
Chicagoooo! The Big Apple!
January 21, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 74.3 MBLeslie and Ron are still fighting with each other and trying to sway votes from council members. But perhaps they can put their differences aside for a few minutes to rescue Jamm from the clutches of Tammy 2? Meanwhile, Tom and Andy travel to Chicago, and Lucy makes another appearance. How fun. Donna and Terry drop by for about six seconds, and April has a mild career crisis. To the morgue it is! Plus, the joys of drizzling honey onto your pepperoni pizza, a Kids Bopz version of Gangsters ...
It's Inauguration Day!
January 21, 2021 01:51 - 18 minutes - 17.2 MBA Parks and Rec star is the President of the United States! With Joe Biden officially being sworn into the White House (and Leslie Knope on track to win the presidency by 2024), we’re going over our favorite moments from the inauguration, including Amanda Gorman’s incredible speech, the fabulous Bernie Sanders memes, Garth Brooks hugging everyone, and the special moment shared by Kamela Harris and Michelle Obama. Sean’s got wings on the way and is a couple of Sean Margs in, so he is feeling...
New Year, New Pawnee
January 14, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 58.3 MBIt’s a new season, and there’s new drama! We’re three years into the future (at least compared to last episode) and Leslie and Ron appear to be rivals now! I bet we’ll uncover why soon enough. Ben is being honored at a gala, though he still secretly thinks it’s a prank. Meanwhile, Andy and April are boring adults, Donna is engaged to Joe and has a Shia Labeouf exclusive dress, and Tom is still being a big ol’ self-centered jerk face. Maybe not everything has changed. Plus, the difficulty i...
Six Seasons in the Books! And A Farewell to 2020
December 17, 2020 13:43 - 47 minutes - 39.3 MBWell, we’ve made it through Season 6 and basically 2020, so there’s lots of reflecting going on. We reminisce about the very first episode of Parks n Wrecked and how wildly unprofessional it was (as if we’ve gotten more professional, HA). And of course, we’re going over some of the key moments of Season 6 of Parks and Rec. Remember when Andy had a job in London and hopped into a dumpster? Or how about the time Chris Bosh made a guest appearance as an Eagletonian high schooler player despite...
You’re So Good At Reminding Me Where Pizza Is
December 10, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 54.8 MBWelcome to the Unity Concert! We’ve finally made it and my, what a wonderful show. This Parks and Rec episode is chock full of guest appearances, like Ginuwine, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Kay Hanley of Letters to Cleo, The Decemberists, Jon Hamm, Johnny Karate, and a whole lot more. And we’re all partying at Tom’s Bistro after the show. Meanwhile, Leslie is looking for people to take with her to her new job as the head of the Midwest branch of the National Park Service. Ron is disinterested beca...
Call Me Kristen Because I’m Wigging Out
December 03, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 51.7 MBWe’re at the last episode of Season 6, but as NBC did, we’re turning it into a two-parter. Leslie still isn’t sure if she’s going to take that job in Chicago, Ben gets to show off his Cones of Dunshire skills, and we meet Gryzzl, who most certainly will make another appearance in future episodes. Meanwhile, Tom’s Bistro just moved up its soft launch and it is going QUITE poorly. Tom is being a jerk. April has to sub in as a server and adds several cars to the list of available pasts. And La...
Why Don't You Take a Whale Sounds Break?
November 19, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 58.1 MBLeslie 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 ...
I’ll Bring It Down a THOUSAND Notches If I Have To
November 12, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBLeslie 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...
Prom — Is It a Banger?
November 05, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 66.9 MBPut 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 dan...
I Think You're Fine. Like a Solid B-Minus.
October 29, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 66.8 MBSurprise, 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, ...
Storied Past, Bright Future
October 22, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 55.8 MBLeslie 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 excitemen...
Somebody Follow Me, I'm Distraught!
October 15, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 80.4 MBLeslie 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 if you’d keep quiet around him. Plus, we explore old Ko...
Be Ice Cream or Be Nothing
October 08, 2020 13:05 - 1 hour - 70.5 MBLeslie 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 ...
Keep Your Tears In Your Eyes, Where They Belong
October 01, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBWe’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 ...
Peas Be Kind to Others
September 24, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBHope 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 device...
Completely Shaved, Like an Eel
September 17, 2020 11:00 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MBLeslie 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 lon...
Time is Money, Money is Power, Power is Pizza, Pizza is Knowledge
September 10, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBIt’s Leslie’s last day in the city council office! She’s saying her goodbyes — will there be one last shenanigan before she heads out? Probably. It IS Parks and Rec, after all. Meanwhile, Tom is trying to find his next big investment deal and runs a mini Shark Tank experience for people to share their great ideas. And Ann and Chris debate whether they want find out the sex of their baby. Plus, weddings that don’t have open bars, whether Miley Cyrus or Selena Gomez have more jams, and Sean ...
Cones of Dunshire
September 03, 2020 13:26 - 1 hour - 72.2 MBIntroducing…the Cones of Dunshire! Leslie also uses the insult “dinkhead,” which is a new one to all of us. She’s trying to win her last battle against Councilman Jamm, and it includes a hibachi grill, karaoke, and plenty of shenanigans. We wouldn't expect anything less. Meanwhile, Ron is trying to sell his cabin, and Tom, Donna, and April are all involved. Who will end up with the cabin? That hipster couple? A Sam Elliott-type character (but not the Sam Elliott that guest-starred a few epi...
I Need to Go Lie Down for 45 Minutes…No, An Hour! A Full Hour!
August 27, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 71.3 MBLeslie has already been recalled, so it’s time for her to be a loose cannon! This is one of our “Pawneeans are pretty darn dumb” episodes, so hope you’re ready for some stupidity. A full hour of stupidity! Sadly, Ben ends up out of a job by the end of this episode, and it’s all Leslie’s fault. They also seem to forget she still has a job within the parks and rec department, but let’s not worry about that. Meanwhile, Chris is reading a ton of baby books authored by celebrities, Ron gets meta...
Bloosh! It's a Recall Vote
August 20, 2020 11:00 - 55 minutes - 51.1 MBLeslie Knope is up for a recall vote! Will she make it out the other side? Let’s find out! It’s also Halloween, despite this episode airing in mid-November. But we don’t need to pay attention to minor details like that. Meanwhile, Annabel Porter, Pawnee’s version of Gwyneth Paltrow, stops by to share some hot tips and recruit Ron Swanson for her Bloosh lifestyle line of products. Tom and Donna are thrilled. Ron is not. Plus, one of Sean’s favorite spots in college, whether The Great Gatsby...
Some Lovely 90s Nostalgia
August 13, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBWe’re dressing up and celebrating like it’s the 1990s! Well, everyone except April, who thinks we’re in the 1690s. Unfortunately, Leslie has to break away from the festivities so she can filibuster in the midst of city council. Wendy Davis would be proud. Meanwhile, Ron is trying desperately to conquer the Big Buck Hunter video game, much to the delight of Donna. And Andy is back in town from London! Surely he won’t do something to screw up this cool opportunity, right? And we’re celebrati...
That Has Never Been True
August 06, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 72.4 MBSean STRONGLY dislikes this episode, and he really ain’t wrong. Donna accidentally tweets out something personal from the Parks and Rec Department’s Twitter account, and faces the wrath of big government. Plus Leslie learns something surprising about her one of her prized employees. Meanwhile, Ben and Ron have the best moments of the episode trying to write a new will for Ron, as Ben struggles not to say accounting puns. And Tom has one of his creepiest episodes yet! Plus, we discuss froze...
A Wild 100th Episode Bonanza!
July 30, 2020 14:18 - 1 hour - 66.4 MBWe’re celebrating 100 episodes of Parks n Wrecked with perhaps our most foolish idea yet — inviting friends on the podcast to answer trivia questions about us. Really, it’s just a humblebrag to prove we have friends. You’ll learn things like Haleigh’s favorite Girl Scout Cookie flavor, the name and breed of Joey’s first pet, and Sean’s most popular bit on Instagram. Though if you’re following him, you already know. There’s also a ton of talk about mayonnaise. We’re really living it up over ...
This Calls for Some Celebratory Lunges
July 23, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 70.9 MBThere are so many guest stars in this episode! June Diane Raphael, Sam Elliott, Billy Eichner, Melinda Cohen, and a handful of other folks join the Pawnee crew after the town absorbs Eagleton, but will they all survive until the end of the episode? Magic 8 Ball says all signs point to no. Meanwhile, Ben and Chris are trimming the fat of the Eagleton accounting crew, all while Chris does celebratory lunges. Can you think of a better way to show your excitement? Plus, Haleigh attended her be...
Why Is Everyone Else So Bad At Eating?
July 16, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 66.3 MBPawnee is auditing Eagleton! The once proud city is now…well, less proud. My, how the turntables have turned. There’s also a basketball game happening, featuring a then-29-year-old Chris Bosh playing as a high schooler. Ron is also trying to get off the grid, and turns to Tom and Donna for help. Bet that’ll turn out great! Meanwhile, Ann and April were hanging out together during this episode, for some reason. And they’re living it up in Bloomington, Indiana! If only we all could be so luck...
A Waking Nightmare of Happiness
July 09, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 63.4 MBWe’re kicking off Season 6 in style: by traveling to London! Most of the crew heads across the pond so Leslie can accept an award and Ben and Chris can hang out with someone that might be dumber than Andy is. Also, Ron and Diane get hitched in perhaps the quickest celebration ever. Meanwhile, Ann has finally gotten pregnant, but nobody seems to care—except Jerry, who has the weirdest reaction of the show. We also meet two new characters: Papa Saperstein, played delightfully by Henry Winkler...
I Wish This Office Was Just Walls
June 25, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 61 MBWe’ve wrapped up Season 5 so that means it’s time for a bonus episode! We’re recapping everything about the season, including some of our favorite new characters, whether Ron will be a good father, (our money is on OF COURSE), what a Parks and Rec video game would look like, and we take a “Which Parks and Rec Character Are You?” quiz. Plus, Sean talks about his rec center closing down for a week before opening as a voting site and the disappointment it’s brought among the community. We’re g...
Are You Better Off?
June 18, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBIt’s the Season 5 finale! Are you better off than the start of the show? Leslie’s trying to argue that Pawnee is, and name drops a bunch of great movies about dancing, like Honey and Step Up 2 The Streets. But the townsfolk aren’t having it. We get it—now if we want to start our day with a triple decker pancake pizza, we have to go to the Paunch Burger 10 minutes away. And don’t tell me to not have that for breakfast, because I will NEVER consider that! Meanwhile, Andy is carrying a pregnan...
More Like Who Am I Doing?
June 11, 2020 12:46 - 1 hour - 62.7 MBThere’s a big vote to be had, which means it’s time for Putt Putt! Leslie and Ron face off in a battle for Councilman Jamm’s vote – and this episode features a special guest appearance from Esther Povitsky, Joey’s childhood friend! Meanwhile, Tom and Ann are both trying to break up with Mona Lisa (as a boyfriend and friend, respectively), but only one is successful. Who could it be? Andy is also kicked out of Mouse Rat. Kind of. Maybe he should start going to practices. Plus, Sean has some...
See You Tomorrow, Jeremy!
June 04, 2020 11:00 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MBJerry’s retiring! Didn’t he let anyone know? Well, in any case, we’ll have to find a new Jerry, and in a delightful cartoonish twist, it’s Tom! Get it, because Tom and Jerry is already a cartoon? Badum tsh. We get to see Jerry in his natural element at home, and he’s suave and delightful. Leslie and Ben try to help him achieve all of his hopes and dreams. This episode also features Chris and Ann continue to be hesitant about having children. Will they ever start this beautiful family of the...
Butter Is My Favorite Food
May 28, 2020 11:00 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MBPatton Oswalt guest stars in this episode and goes on a filibuster for the ages. There are also a lot of dumb rules in the Pawnee constitution – like annually throwing people named Ted into the water – so Leslie does her best to rewrite some of ‘em. To add even more fire to the flame, Leslie and Patton have to stay at an old cabin for two weeks. And Andy realizes butter is his favorite food. Meanwhile, April works on pitting Ron and Chris against each other during the Chris Traeger Manageme...
Eddie, Get My Crossbow
May 21, 2020 13:14 - 1 hour - 59.2 MBSo many fantastic guest appearances in this episode. Harris Wittels and Colton Dunn are here as Harris and Brad from Animal Control, AND we get Dennis Feinstein, played masterfully by Jason Mantzoukas. Even Eric Isenhower shows up as Orin – with a speaking part! Ben, Tom, and Andy have some mighty sucking up to do to raise money for charities, while Chris injures one of his running feet. Leslie, Chris, and Ann interview potential new Animal Control candidates, and Jerry negotiates a lower s...
Skim Milk is Water That's Lying About Being Milk
May 14, 2020 11:00 - 58 minutes - 53.2 MBBen ruined the city of Partridge, MN when he was 18 years old, but now they’re ready to forgive him. Surely this isn’t a trap. Meanwhile, Councilman Jamm is suing Ron for punching him in the face during Leslie’s wedding. And guess what? Ron would do it again if he has the chance. Also, Chris and Ann are distraught after a series of mishaps. Could this mean they won’t be good parents? We’ll find out by the end of the episode. Plus, we’ve got excessive beards, activities to do on a boat, and...
If True, This Guy Wants In
May 07, 2020 13:17 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBLeslie offers a bailout to a local movie store, but it backfires with hilarious results. April and Ann are best friends for a week, and together with Donna they perform a stirring rendition of “Time After Time.” Jenny Slate as Mona-Lisa Saperstein makes her first appearance in the show, and that’s really all you need to know. Brandi Maxxx is also back on the scene, much to the delight of Sean. This episode has (at least according to Joey), the BEST cold open in the entire show. Do you agre...
You're Too Beautiful To Be Funny
April 30, 2020 13:38 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBLeslie 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 is still looking for a sperm donor, and she’s considering one Chris Traeger. Talk about some palpable tension! Plus, we...
