Joe Biden Knows His Way Around a Seafood Risotto

04/15/21 • 77 min

We’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 end up working? What will Leslie have named after her, and will it be displeasing? Will we have special guest appearances and will Sean be super excited about them?Plus, how many college basketball players can Haleigh name? Sean finally pays up his season 6 trivia loss debt (check some of the footage here), the proper way to row a canoe, what Ben Wyatt smells like, a walk through the different Two-Faces from Batman, whether Leslie would be a good boss, and the best games on The Price is Right. Joey apologizes for getting the name of Cliffhangers wrong.And we’ve got a special guest this episode! Friend of the podcast and Sean’s coworker Heather joins to chat about the grand finale of Parks and Rec (but not of Parks n Wrecked). We’ll try to teach her how to speak into the microphone next time but hopefully, you can still hear her many witty comments.EPISODE

Don't Be Suspicious

Some 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 as mayor? Can Jean Ralphio and Mona Lisa successfully pull off a heist without being suspicious? The answer to some of these questions is “yes”; for others, it’s “no”. Still others have longer answers. And I’ve been Perd Hapley.Plus, the massive secret (but not so secret) Lyndon B. Johnson was hiding, cutting the line at amusement parks when you’re in a wheelchair, the famous John Lennon and Yoko Ono picture from Rolling Stone, how inconvenient it is for maintenance to be closed on a Friday, and getting banned from restaurants.EPISODE

Yes, I'm Ready. Dramatic Music Intensifies

We’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 during a shootout.Also, remember when Apple forced an album from U2 onto all of its products? Those were good times. And what are the odds that you would die on your birthday? We do a deep dive into that very topic.Finally, what should Haleigh do for her punishment after losing trivia? We wanna hear from you! In the meantime, give James Blunt’s Twitter a follow.P.S. Sorry for Sean’s audio quality in parts of this one. He tried a new microphone and...well, there are still some kinks to be worked out with it. Nothing like the penultimate episode to give something wild a spin!DRINKS OF THE EPISODE
