"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

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

ENJOY!!!!

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!

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!

Just in case you couldn't already tell how freaked out and excited Madi and Holly were about talking to Jay Jackson, here are some bloopers to prove our point! Like our theme song says, we love Parks and Rec, we love behind the scenes and we should also add we LOVE bloopers!
 
Thank you again Jay Jackson so much for your time and for letting us fan out about your life and amazing role in this show! Follow Jay everywhere including Cameo, YouTube and his website all listed below!

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 :)

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!
