50,000 dollars is so much money to raise in one episode, but we can do it!!!!! Especially in this season! Leslie is called away to work on an emergency preparedness test for the city while the Parks gang takes over the fundraising gala to get this park going!

Thank you so much to Will McLaughlin who plays Officer Killnose for sending great behind-the-scenes memories! So fun to hear about your character name! We appreciate it so much!

Also some amazing deleted scenes to share and was there a body double for Burly? Wait to see! (the answer is yes LOL)

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. <3

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"!)

Please follow all of them below and check out our incredible interviews from other guest stars that have been on the show!!

Some of you haven't listened to the amazing conversation I had with Yvans Jourdain and you need to!!!! We absolutely loved talking about all things spiritual, acting, overcoming insecurities and the journey life takes you on! PS - He's in a Paxlovid commercial and I just LOVE seeing Parks people out in the wild. 😜 

Yvans played Councilman Howser and I LOVED getting to hear about the backstory and how his character is the father figure to them all :)

We hope you enjoy and don't forget to rate, review and subscribe! Also, please follow Yvans on Instagram to follow all his awesome projects!!

Yay, we're talking about the Park that started it all! First we start with jazz plus jazz equals jazz, then we get into Eagleton vs. Pawnee while Tom shows such a great growth arc and Burt Macklin hangs up his shades.

Did you know Brad Hall aka Wreston St. James is married to Julia Louis Dreyfuss?!! Also, we talk about Julia's show Wiser Than Me, it's INCREDIBLE. Please take a listen. 

Plus, thank you to Derek Baynham for the wonderful email giving us amazing behind-the-scenes details about his time on set! He played the waiter in Eagleton explaining why there are palm trees there 🤣  (We are...truly blessed)

This week, we're discussing whose side you're on! Leslie or April or was there a way to compromise? Seems like we all had different gut reactions, but we all know we could (and did) compromise somehow :)

ALSO PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HELLO!!!!!!

Also, random side fact, did you know the Sweetums molasses explosion was based on a true story?

Meanwhile, Ben gets a million job offers (and saddens the accounting firm... again) while Tom gets rejections and Andy and Chris go through the realities of being a cop :)

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
