Our Conversation with Mary Faber! (aka Kathryn Pinewood)26 Sep 202400:57:32

Yay, welcome Mary Faber to the pod, the iconic Kathryn Pinewood of the Pawnee Restaurant Association!! First, we talk about all things Parks, like auditioning, working with her old college pal Gregory Levine (script supervisor), improvising some lines and being the nememis to Leslie!

Then I dive into asking questions about her professional Broadway experiences! (she's been in Avenue Q, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and American Idiot!) I loved getting to hear her process and how she goes in phases with Film/TV, voice-over and musical theater. Currently, she's in a workshop for a new musical in New York! Plus, did you know we're both from Virginia? Whodduthunk!?

Make sure you follow her Instagram to be updated and thank you so much again Mary!!!!!!!!!! A delight! <3

(S4Ep22) Win, Lose or Draw PART 2! (FINALE!)13 Jun 202401:04:46

CITY COUNCIL B*TCHES! ...Jerry didn't vote.
It's all coming to a close, and yet it's all beginning! Aubyn Philabaum, who plays Dana the bartender, joins us by sending in an amazing voice memo! Thank you for sending this to us after a 12 hour day on set in line for your burrito, you deserve it! (Check out Aubyn's work including a new movie below!!) Amazing stories to hear of Nick Offerman remembering you and more!

Also, let's bask in the glory that is Leslie's speech (shouts to Ben for writing and shouts to Leslie for adding on). We need to hear this right now. Full circle sliding her picture into the boys club that is no longer just a boys club. 🤩

PS We get SO close to not Ann and Tom being officially over, but... the tag did not save us.

Other fun facts/tidbits:
-Dave Matthews is from South Africa and he formed Dave Matthews Band in Charlottesville where I'm from? What?!
- Donna is incredible at her job - not enough credit is given, she's literally saved the office so many times
- Those extras in the Leslie speech moment were incredible
- Nostrathomas is so not a Tom line - that's a definite Mike Schur Harvard guy line. Listen to hear who Nostradamus is if you don't already know. :)

Happy 4th of July! 01 Jul 202100:19:17

"I'll bring the beer, you bring the girls, and the troops will bring the freedom"
-Chip McAff (Bo Burnham)
We hope everyone has an amazing 4th of July weekend! We have one more episode for you after this but after that, we're taking a much needed break for July and we hope you all can take time for family, friends, gratitude for our nation and enjoy some fun in the sun. Or in your house just resting and not talking to anyone, that's fine and needed too.  Thank you sweet Linda Montana for singing the National Anthem for us, we love you so much! And to our amazing fans, we thank you for listening!

And on the most serious note, thank you soldiers for your service, you are everything. xo

(S4Ep22) Win, Lose or Draw Part 1! (Madi's Back!) 16 May 202401:08:38

Welcome back Madi!!!! And welcome back Park Pals to the SEASON FINALE!!!! I'm calling this the Deleted Scenes extravaganza because there were so many juicy cut moments! (Ron bringing his own whiskey and taking a shrimp plate, a lot of amazing guest stars, why Chris thinks it's okay to ask Ann if he can sleep with Jen again - gross)

First, we catch up a bit with Madi going over some motherhood moments, then dive deep with an exciting promo from back when this originally aired (almost to the exact date) - this aired on May 10, 2012 and we recorded May 11, 2024! 🤯🤯🤯

Then we talk to Randy Kovitz, who played Terrence the voting commissioner! Please follow him below! He told us INCREDIBLE stories about jumping on a plane with a fast turnaround time, how he learned his lines on the plane (classic) and how he has his wonderful wife to thank for convincing him plus his puppeteer friend who let him stay with him in LA. Amazing. He also teaches at Carnegie Mellon!

Then we get an email from Burly (PLEASE follow him and his show Grip and Electric below! It's SO GOOD) who shares some BTS details of the day on set! I also get a deleted scene where Burly is rocking his Knope 2012 campaign shirt (I'll post the photo on Insta) Thank you Burly, you always send the BEST emails and congrats on Ford v Ferrari!

Then we learn about the butterfly ballot and how it was inspired by a true story between the Bush/Gore election and how there really was a porn star elected to the Italian parliament, so Brandi Maxxxxx you can still win someday! (and you will 😉)

Burly's show called Grip and Electric!

(Listen to Part 1 if you haven't already) Join us as we adventure through Ron's first red Tiger Woods sex shirt, our deep dive on the brunette with breakfast foods (she's a super cool model and musician who plays with The Nielsen Trust starring guitarist, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick- they're currently on tour!) and we have a mini therapy session because it's necessary. PS Sean's pup Mr. Hutson Havanese makes an appearance and we talk a lot about that because dogs. :D (Follow him on Insta!)

Ron and Tammy Part 1! (W/ Special Guest Sean Trainor!)10 Jun 202101:37:49

IT'S RON AND BLEEPING TAMMY TIME!!!!!! This week we have the wonderful Park Pals theme song creator, Sean Trainor!!!!!! You'll feel like you're just laughing and hanging with friends because Sean, Holly, and Madi all went to Berklee in Boston together! It was so incredibly fun to reunite about Parks and Rec and go on super fun tangents (which is why we needed two parts) AND we talk about how Sean wrote the theme song for Park Pals! One day Madi will be in the same room as Sean and Holly and life will be grand.

Join as we discover why Ron is so uptight, how Ron, Tammy and Leslie know each other in real life, all the location breakdowns, how Megan Mullally took her shirt off without telling anyone and so much more incredible details like the sex books in Tammy's office. ALSO COMMENTARY IS HERE! 

If you need a producer (he's produced literally everything Holly has put out), jingle writer, instrumentalist, composer, literally anything music related, please please please hire Sean Trainor and follow him and his band, Southern Call, that he has with his incredible wife and our friend, Cierra Trainor! WE LOVE YOU! xo

Our Conversation with Linda Montana! (aka Denise Yermley) 03 Jun 202101:07:54

Today we talk to the amazing LINDA MONTANA! We love her so much! She is the famous "most bookable" talent in Pawnee known for her incredible and long National Anthem (SHE SINGS IT AT THE BEGINNING FOR US, OMG THANK YOU!) but she also sings in the beauty pageant and in the city council debate with Bobby Newport!

She is an amazing multi-talented, hardworking Queen, and we loved learning all about her career, she's been in the business starting with trick riding with her famous cowboy family, she's a trained opera singer and she also is an amazing voice over actor! Today we learn all about the things she had to learn for her time on the show, how she answered the phone when Amy Poehler called and her fun time on the Hawaii 5-0 set! She's such an inspiration to never give up and work really hard at what you do. Follow us on Instagram to see all the photos she was showing us throughout the episode! 

She was SO incredibly generous with her time and we are so unbelievably blessed that she chatted with us for so long. WE LOVE YOU LINDA AND ARE PRAYING FOR SERIES REGULAR STATUS FOR YOU! xoxo

Follow her on all the things, show some support!

Greg Pikitis! 27 May 202101:40:57

IT'S PIKITIS TIME!!!!!!!! There are spoilers so sorry not sorry just a heads up. This week it's Halloween on Parks and Rec and some spooky, crime type stuff is going down.  Join us as we tail the MANIACAL and strangely smart and turdish Greg Pikitis!  Plus we learn that Halloween is Ann's favorite holiday, the do's and don'ts of TP'ing someone's house (but don't) and how to behave appropriately when you’re a guest at a party. This is an episode of firsts as well, since Ron's first pirate costume is here AND it's our first ever Halloween party! And then stick around for therapy where it gets deep because it's been a rough couple of months (that's why the episode is quite long so skip it if you need to) and we learn it's ALWAYS okay to rest and time and hard work do heal us all (but it's HARD and that's real). You're doing a lot so give yourself a reward every now and again! Also what's your fav candy? Happy THURSDAY!

Our Conversation with Jay Jackson (PERD HAPLEY!) 20 May 202101:24:33

HOLY MOLY SURPRISE!!!!!! WE PARTIED WITH PERD! Today we talk to the amazing, incredible, multi-talented, smart, enigmatic Jay Jackson, or I don't know, as you might know him, PERD FREAKIN' HAPLEY! You know he's an actor but did you know he's a jazz musician, news reporter, novelist, teacher, short film producer, sommelier trainee, business owner and the list goes on?! You'll just love learning about him! Jay was beyond generous with his time and knowledge for us. We had so much fun chatting with him about Parks and Rec, his news reporting career, how he learned from the great Amy Poehler, Chris Pratt and Mo Collins on the show, his weight loss journey, his studies in political science, his song called Porn Star (not a joke), and just so much more including his first passion jazz music! 
We can't handle how much we loved talking to him. We basically partied because he was drinking wine since he is studying to be the best sommelier you ever did see. Can we get a spinoff of him and Ron playing jazz music and him and April/Craig being sommeliers at Tom's Bistro please? 
THANK YOU JAY SO MUCH! Please follow him and all of his life adventures below! Get a cameo video for a loved one, tell your friends who want to be a reporter about his clinic, spread the word everywhere you know how :)

Our Conversation with Mel Cowan! (Red-Faced Man)29 Apr 202101:15:45

Have we got a TREAT FOR YOU THIS WEEK! We talk to Mel Cowan, or as you may know him on iMDB, Red Faced Man. This fellow is anything BUT a red faced man in real life though, what a genuine treasure. We LOVED talking to him about his audition for Parks, his start in improv, playing with Amy Poehler and his writing career. We hope you enjoy this nerd out about the nonsensical business that is entertainment. Apart from Parks, you've seen him on Brooklynn 99, Meet Dave, his UCB house team Sentimental Lady (go see them after quar!), and a bunch of other cool sketches and commercials.
Thank you Mel, we are so appreciative, you are a pal of the pod!

(S4Ep21) Bus Tour 2! (With Kris Carr!)09 May 202400:55:30

We're jumping in right where left off, with a cut scene from the classroom reading at Groffle the Awful Waffle AND the tea on how exactly Groffle crossed the syrup river!!!! There's also tea on who owns the Newport Mansion in real life (OMG), more cut scenes, in fact a whole tag, with Donna (JUSTICE FOR DONNA!) and a Jury Duty rant!

Our Conversation with Vincent Jones! (Theme Song Goodness!)08 Apr 202101:08:41

We got  Vincent Jones! (Sing to the tune of "We Got Annie") Composer Vincent Jones wrote the theme song of Parks and Recreation with Gaby Moreno and has worked on other amazing shows like Grownish, Black AF, F is for Family and a number of features! He also talked to us about his time in Grapes of Wrath, his work with our Queen Sarah McLaughlin and we got some great inside knowledge on composers and musicians in LA.

(Which side note, Madi and Holly would totally do) We also deep dive into JJ's diner, oh my gosh! In the meantime, we see Mark come to terms with who he wants to surround himself with and Tom has some pretty questionable pick up tactics. See you there!

This week Leslie and Ann infiltrate the Boys Club of City Hall! (official name patent-pending)  We discuss the guilt Leslie feels, why there would ever be a vending machine outside, see a fancy conference room and of course talk about pigeons. We also LOVE that we have a real-life infiltrator of Boys Club in our Queen Kamala Harris, which we discuss at length. See you soon and don't forget to "smash" the subscribe button!

Our world expands as we meet the reporter we all know and love, Shauna Malwae-Tweep, we eat waffles at JJ's for the first time (we learn why it's called that too!) and we discuss our favorite lines which both have to do with the male anatomy.  It's a time warp since we recorded this a while back, so enjoy your time machine podcast!

Pilot!02 Feb 202101:53:08

In this pilot episode, we meet our darling, sweet, perfect Leslie Knope, the Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation in Pawnee, Indiana. We see how the injury of a local citizen's boyfriend (ANN AND ANDY!), inspires Leslie to start a committee to build a park on an incredibly large and dangerous pit. Meet the Pawnee Parks and Rec crew and join us for behind the scenes on everything from locations to characters, and of course stay for the therapy. We need it.

(S4Ep21) Bus Tour Part 1! (With Kris Carr)02 May 202401:17:28

We had so many juicy details for this one, we had to split it into 2 parts!!!! And our favorite and only Kris Carr is here! The best!!!

- THE Brad Leland aka Fester Trimm from the Debate episode and from Friday Night Lights fame stops by to share his amazing stories and BTS of someone the crew who was actually named Fester!
- Norm Hiscock emails us to confirm the tea on why Leslie hates libraries!
- Danielle Kennedy who plays the reporter breaking the news of Nick Newport's death stops by with amazing BTS of why she couldn't have lunch with the cast (it has to do with filming senior yoga with Jane Fonda omg!)
- AND we do a breakdown on Mike O'Malley!!! (Bill from the rental vans - did you know he was thought of for Ron Swanson?) SO MUCH!

We also talk about the process of Jerry getting slammed with pies, parasocial norms (the "I...sad" statement was based on Paul McCartney's reaction to John Lennon's death and the reporters are BRUTAL), and how Parks really gets the cringe in this episode by bringing back "Get On Your Feet".

Great writing, great guests, great pod. Enjoy! Don't forget to rate and review! Join us next week for Part 2!

Brad Leland (click here for his IMDB!) is in a movie called The Last Whistle with Jim O'Heir (from 2019), Love and Death with Elizabeth Olsen and Jesse Plemons, LaRoy, Texas with Steve Zahn, Accidental Texan with Bruce Dern and Thomas Haden Church. Working Texan actor right there!!!!

Danielle Kennedy (click here for her IMDB!) is filming a new series with Ted Danson called A Classic Spy, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey with Colin Farrell and Margot Robbi comiing out 2025 and Rockbottom where she plays Agatha Sprinkles, the oldest living rock groupie with Jon Bon Jovi and Tom Everett Scott!

(S4Ep20) The Debate! (With Bryon Goff)25 Apr 202402:25:52

First and foremost, Holly doesn't know the difference between Rocky and Rambo. Secondly: FIERCE, POWER, DO IT, PUMP IT UP! I love you and I like you. SO many incredible iconic moments!
 
First, we hear from Billy Merritt (Mr. Hamster Penis himself from Live Ammo!) and Sarah Gaboury (a political pundit on the Campaign Shake Up episode!) Thank you both so much! (links below to follow them!)

Then we dive into the Debate with Bryon Goff from Citizens of Pawnee Podcast! Our Queen Amy Poehler writes and directs this episode (her directorial debut that was nominated for an Emmy!!!), then we discuss how much we don't love Tom and Ann (still!??!) or Ann and Chris and Holly draws the comparison that Tom is basically Date Mike (fans of the Office will get it) We also see the unmatched partnership between Leslie and Ben and the amazing homage to the movie "Hoosiers!" (listen for the clip!)

Thank you to Liz Benoit for the amazing voice memo about being an investor, Mara Marini (Brandi Maxxxxx) for sending in clips, Madi for sending in a summary and of course Linda Montana (aka Pawnee's most bookable talent), our national anthem singer for her sweet voicemail back in 2021 (and interview linked below hello!)

Our Conversation with Yvans Jordain! (aka Councilman Howser!)18 Apr 202401:43:02

AH! Yvans Jordain, aka Councilman Howser, is here as our newest Park Pal! What a spiritual, kind, easy conversation!

We jump right in with talking about how sometimes you need to take a break from acting (or just in general), and how everything works out the way it's supposed to (even though it's HARD to remember that). He's currently in a Paxlovid commercial and you better believe it was the first thing I brought up. We discuss how his friend helped him come back after his break from acting (amazing!!), how he wasn't even going to audition for Parks (can you imagine?!), and how his coworkers at his psychology job informed him that he was a meme. 😂 Oh, and then I dive DEEP on all the scenes he was in and the transformation of Howser from that first episode to the last! PS - wouldn't Retta and him have made a cute couple?!

I also loved talking about the acting journey, the self-doubt that no one sees on screen and the joy of working with a great production can bring.

Please follow Yvans on all the things!

Our Conversation with Danielle Bisutti (aka Professor Linda!) 11 Apr 202401:00:08

Omg what an exciting day! The Queen, BAFTA nominated Danielle Bisutti who plays Professor Linda stopped by and we talked all about the direction she got from Nick Offerman, the amazing fan interactions (one bought her flowers and wine), and how the pheromones from Nick Offerman are basically impossible to ignore. 😏

Plus, we dive into all her other amazing projects! For the gamers out there (and for the non-gamers too), she plays Freya in God of War and she also has a wonderful new show called Dwight in Shining Armor where she plays a sassy witch! I couldn't resist talking about ACOTAR and the SJM universe, so you'll also hear about that of course....

Thank you so much Danielle, it's so amazing to hear from you and all your stories!

(S4Ep19) Live Ammo! (with Bryon Goff of Citizens of Pawnee Podcast)28 Mar 202401:55:48

AMAZING EPISODE ALERT! This week is extra special because we have not one but two special guests! First we have Leslie Thurston who played the waitress at the bar where Andy celebrates passing his college course THEN we have Bryon Goff of Citizens of Pawnee Podcast! Bryon and I dive deep and get nerdy about all things Parks and it was very fun to have another Park Pal on board with how intense the fandom is!

We learn about the inspo that West Wing had over Parks and the easter eggs nodding to the show (seriously Greg Daniels and Greg Levine are huge fans), Bryon teaches us all about the Lerpiss family (there are 9 of them, what!), and Holly explains how to put ships in bottles haha

This week we start off the podcast with amazing voice memos from Dani Fish (Pawnee Rangers - Lauren), Jeff Holman (Smallest Park - Joe), Eric Pierpoint (Dave Returns - Chief Trumple), and Kelly Washington (The Treaty- Allison)!!!!!!! There were SUCH incredible stories and I'm so excited and honored that you shared your experiences with us! Please follow all of them below! 

The Sweet Sixteen episode starts at about 52 minutes if you want to skip, but I encourage you to just pause if you need to!

Happy Birthday/Leap Year Jerry! On this episode, we learn about Ich Bin Ein Berliner, where MASH was shot (you'll see why), and more about why Leap Years exist!!
Also, seeing the mentorship between Ron and Leslie is so beautiful and seeing the immature petty relationship between Ann and Tom is not beautiful. 😂  In the words of April, "Thank you, alcohol"

What do Parks and Marvel have in common? Paul and Pratt, but that's not what this is about - this week is Leslie's campaign ad! Bobby is just a rich Andy, Andy has 800 medical problems and Leslie and Ben balance their extreme views to a middle ground. Also we learn who Mr Belvedere was, what Raclette the dog was named after and what Alsace Lorraine even is. 

Cheers to doing your best scary campaign ad impressions of "Bobby Newpooooorrrrttttt"

(S5Ep5) Halloween Surprise! 29 Aug 202401:47:32

Yay, Halloween is here, a sad Fart Attack, and the LERPISS FAMILY!! We learn what the real Halloween movie name that's shown at the Parks Dept (it's called Blood Hook from the 80's), Tom invents Rent-A-Swag, and Ron, Leslie and Ben all take steps in their relationships! IT'S SO WONDERFUL AND EMOTIONAL!!!! Plus, Jerry has some super insightful, wise moments and we love.
We do go on some tangents, sorry not sorry.

THANK YOU so much to our amazing guests!

Ryan Radis - unwilling to pay $300 for a used jacket of Tom's LOL (about 1:02)
Laura Ingraham - basically started Rent-A-Swag haha (about 1:19)
and our pal, Kenny Stevenson (about 1:38) who gives the girls their Nov. 8th candy and is apparently a meme! 

Thank you all so much for sending in such awesome behind-the-scenes details, I can't even stand how happy it makes me!!!

Please rate and review and we'll see you next time!
