Park Pals: A Parks and Recreation Podcast Park Pals: A Parks and Recreation Podcast

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!

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!)

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!

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!

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

Enjoy and don't forget to rate and review!
