Our Conversation with Brian Stack!
I loved this conversation so much!!!!! Full disclosure, we kept thinking of things to talk about, so enjoy our many "endings" that turned into other stories LOL Brian Stack played Ted in Article Two, and the jeweler when Ann and Chris go to the jewelery store, BUT he was a writer on Conan for 18 years, he currently writes for Stephen Colbert and I talked his ear off about it all! We discuss his beginnings in Second City in Chicago, how he knew Amy Poehler, and advice for young sketch performers. I ask 800 questions about his Conan characters too and it's so cool to see the inception of it all! We also got some great behind the scenes tidbits about cracking an egg on Amy Poehler's head and how he was glad they used a stunt man! Plus, we discuss New Girl, 30 Rock and more shows he was a guest star on! Brian is the nicest, most grateful person and I am so lucky and honored to have spoken with him about his time in this industry! His gratitude is inspiring and I wish him nothing but the best. Please be sure to check out this compilation of characters, and check out his writing on the Colbert Show!!!!!

(S5Ep12) Ann's Decision!
The episode that started it all! (Or at least the name of our show... "I guess we're Park Pals" *wink*) But honestly, I think our name comes from the true amazing park pals we get to come on this show and share their stories. Words can't really describe how much it means to me that actors and crew take time out of their day to contribute to our podcast and give us such incredible stories. This Pawnee community is so wonderful and something that I love to shed light on. On that note, today we are joined by the amazing Michael Patrick McGill who played Sanitation Steve in Women in Garbage (and Roy's brother in The Office, you know I had to ask him about that!), Brendan Jennings who plays Walter Koypond and Jimmy Spagula who both play citizens that are concerned about the effect Pawnee Commons will have on them. Thank you SO MUCH! We also got amazing emails from Cooper Thornton (Dr. Harris) and Jeffrey Markle (the chanting man! "topless park"!)

Hi I saw a video on Tik Tok (Surprise, surprise) about a focus wheel and I wanted to share my exercise with you! I've always found manifesting difficult to wrap my head around, because I'd like to experience peace and contentment now, not when "X" thing happens. This seemed like a good balance, but maybe I'm just delusional and isn't that really the point? Money comes to me. I am debt free. Those are my statements. What are yours?

We discuss cringe Ben, the insane amount of sugar consumed PER MONTH, and we watch Andy defeat external goals while Chris learns internal goals are just as important. :) We also learn where Tom got that golf cart *eye roll* Lastly, we get an amazing voice memo from *Bobby Reed* who played the purse stealer in the townhall! He has an incredible bio on IMDB (below), tells us what this episode was originally called and reminds us that Kyle Newachek, the director, IS TALL! Oh ps - he gets paid the most from these residuals and that makes me happy that Parks pays him. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0715327/ Incredible details and I'm so forever grateful!

Season 5 premiere baby! We're going to DC! Join me (Holly) as I take us through new camera operators for this season, where scenes in DC were shot and more commentary about how Ron can't just kill a pig in front of kids. Love that we get to see some history from Washington (why is it called a National Mall, why does the color of the Washington Monument change?, what Smithsonian were they even at?) and that we get to see Chris be a fair, appropriate leader to Ron. :) Oh side note, I go live on Insta halfway through, so that'll be fun to hear. PLUS we get an amazing voice memo with behind-the-scenes juicy details from Ben Zelevansky who played Ranger Patrick in Ramsett Park!!! #rangerpatrickheads He also has roles in Modern Family and Brooklynn 99 for those in the comedy universe and does a ton of wonderful self-produced projects.

(S4Ep22) Win, Lose or Draw PART 2! (FINALE!)
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. :) Aubyn (Dana): Aubyn's Instagram! https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3849371/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t20 Kate Hugo Diamond Detective Movie!

(S4Ep22) Win, Lose or Draw Part 1! (Madi's Back!)
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! Randy Kovitz- IMDB https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0468414/ Support the show Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!

(S4Ep21) Bus Tour Part 1! (With Kris Carr)
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.

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!)
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!

(S4Ep9) The Trial of Leslie Knope!
We are not going down in history as frozen whores so BUCKLE IN. The trial of Leslie Knope is afoot and we discuss how we see both sides of Chris and Leslie, but Chris might have taken some things too far (in our opinion). Also, we learn interesting facts about the French painter, old stone face, and how his portrait was repurposed for this episode. We also learn how Google Maps started AND learn some pretty insane yet still active laws.

(S4Ep7) The Treaty! (With Kris Carr)
Sting did tantric workshops with his wife and that's how Kris knew what it was. Holly had to Google it. Also did you know Leslie banging her shoe is based off a real UN incident with Nikita Khrushchev, First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union?! Thank you so much to Ashton Bingham and Jenny Soo (UN students) for sending incredible voice memos and Madi for sending in her wonderful summary! Follow Ashton below! In summary - Ben and Leslie (and Andy and April with their moon territory and lions) are off to help run the Model UN where Leslie proves she is fooling herself into thinking they can be just friends.... Meanwhile, Ron is trying to hire Tom's replacement and Holly did a deep dive on Enron, which Kris has some cool insight into! Ann gets some Chris closure also.

We're talking about Mia's amazing show in New York and what her experience was like being back, our weird and fun auditions that we've helped each other with and how sometimes the best part of art is the healing that can come when you let your mind wander and focus in.

We talk all about how she got her job on Parks and Rec, being a Capricorn goddess, an accidental Grindr story (LOL) and having the dirtiest line in Parks and Rec history! Be sure to check out her awesome new projects including the remake of Doogie Howser called Doogie Kamealoha MD on Disney! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12225230/?ref_=nm_flmg_t_1_act And be sure to follow her on Instagram @popgloss and her precious cute baby angel dog Coconut!

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).

Our Conversation with Jay Jackson (PERD HAPLEY!)
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 :) Website: https://www.jjacksonjazz.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jayjacksonjazz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayjacksonjazz/?hl=en Cameo: https://www.cameo.com/jayjacksonakaperd Los Angeles Reporter Clinic: https://www.newsreporterreel.com/ "Without Remorse": https://www.amazon.com/Clancys-Without-Remorse-Michael-Jordan/dp/B08VF6XYVP Wine News Weekly: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU423pMERlVUCI1OwlFJIrQ ChoZen FroZen: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIhyAbICCF-Uh1EjFGknL_Q Blog Where Park Pals is Featured!: https://blog.feedspot.com/parks_and_recreation_tv_series_podcasts/ Please rate and review us!

Our Conversation with Mel Cowan! (Red-Faced Man)
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.

Pilot!
In this pilot episode, we meet our darling, sweet, perfect Leslie Knope, the Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation in Pawnee, Indiana.

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.
