Classic episode alert! Leslie struggles with Ben being on her side, Tom and Donna try to get Ron off the grid, and April and Ann learn about making tough decisions by trusting your gut. :)

Things we learned: 

- Not everyone was super pleased with this episode when it came out, what?!

- Aubrey Plaza is a huge fan of Chris Bosh and told a hilarious story on Conan about meeting Bosh. (link below)

- "How you like them apples?" was made famous by Good Will Hunting. (Madi knew, I did not lol) 

Check it out: 

Norm Hiscock, our fav producer in all the land, has a new show coming out - it's the King of the Hill reboot!!! Comes out on Hulu in August! Yay!

What a learning week! Things we learn:

-Hugh Jackman is not what a wolverine looks like. LOL 

-Coffee grounds can in fact drive slugs away, but it's not always 100% effective.

-Stonehenge is 2 hours away from London, so Andy REALLY missed the train. 

-Mongolia is super interesting to learn about and Khongordzol is a Queen. 

-Reindeer (caribou) is definitely eaten in Scandinavian countries. Sorry, Vixen. 

-The people around you love you and respect you more than you know. And they're showing you even if you don't believe it at first. 

-Webisodes!

Summary: Ron gives Leslie sound advice on how to move forward and in return, Leslie gives Ron a trip he'll never forget. Ann and Chris tell everyone about the baby, and Tom charges forward with Rent A Swag. Oh yeah and Andy takes a London job!

WE'RE BACK! Season 6 baby! The Parks gang heads to London for Leslie to accept an award (thank you April for submitting!), Andy and Ben get a wild twist of fate with Lord Covington, and Tommy learns who is behind his intellectual property being stolen!!!! We also learn about how Jerry and Donna eventually get their name in the opening sequence! 

We also get wonderful voice memos with behind-the-scenes details from Heather McPhaul, who was in the montage of angry citizens "caring loudly" at Leslie. She talks about her audition where she improvised with casting director Dorian Frankel and how that turned out to be a blessing because she then got to improvise with Amy Poehler! Heather is also an author and has her book "Raggedy Ann Heart" out on Amazon at the link below! Show her some love and support, so cool! Thank you so much Heather!

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!!!!!

We feel better off, and that is IMPORTANT OKAY!? And while I would like to burn the Recall Knope float to the ground, we are going to review this episode anyway 😂😂  And in the words of Ben, the more you accomplish, the more heat you get. 

Leslie faces counterpoints even though she has made the town healthier, Tom faces an obstacle with Rent-A-Swag and someone is pregnant?!?!?! What a way to end a season!!!! We love that all the guest stars are returning, and how cool to have a mystery/dramatic moment with Parks!!! We are so grateful to everyone who has made this season so perfect and knowledgable. This has been incredible and we are so honored. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Omg it's Ted Party day!!!!!!! aka Star Wars/Patton Oswalt Day! Today, we get some behind-scenes on removing some Pawnee charter rules, Chris and Ron debate which motivation tactic is better, and Ann and Ben join forces to figure out Leslie's incessant anniversary gifts. Kudos to Leslie for moving Pawnee forward and bringing our town into the future while finding a compromise that suits its citizens best. :)

Today, we also get a voice memo from my past improv teacher at iO West, Jaime Moyer! She plays Roz Degrandis, Leslie's mail lady, yay! Please check out the new show Mid-Century Modern on Hulu to see Jaime shine! What a fun voice memo and a great memory to hear from her! Wishing you so much success <3

Starting this episode with our Partridge park ranger, Clark Freeman! Thank you so much for talking about your original audition (not a park ranger!), getting the call the NIGHT BEFORE and how sweet Adam Scott is! Plus, keep an eye out for his project! 

IMDB

Instagram

But we MUST talk about how amazing Adam Scott is and how nice he was to respond to my fan theory on Severance, omg! Peep 9:14 minute mark!!!! 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vztTLzRXCSw

Then I start the Animal Control episode paying homage to our hero Harris Wittels for being such a huge backbone of Parks and we are so lucky he left his mark with us. Truly an icon. Thank you Harris for being who are. :) His mom's article is listed here:

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-loss-of-my-son-harris-wittels-to-heroin_b_5819fc80e4b01f610e394766

We then dive into Animal Control, which is such a phenom episode of laughs and growth! Tom donates to charity?! April comes up with an efficient government solution?! RON EATS A BANANA?! AMAZING! Each of these one liners or bits are truly something to behold <3 

Thank you so much to everyone for listening and to our MVP, Adam Scott for everything he is <3 PS - new season of Severance is out now on Apple TV!!!!
