Today on the show, we are treated by the kind and gentle Johnny Sneed who plays one of Leslie's campaign managers! We talk all about his story of auditioning for Mike Schur on the Office (did you know he auditioned for Jim? He def could have been the understudy), how he was a lawyer in Dallas for a brief stint and how he's a drummer too! (he got to play Hal Blayne in Love and Mercy, the Beach Boys movie!) Plus, we talk about the world of acting and how it's a tough one sometimes.

We absolutely loved his spirit and what a fun, natural, easy conversation! 

We also talk a lot about Fever Pitch, our fav Boston movie (Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore) and how he has one of our fav roles in that!

Thank you so much Johnny! Woo!

Omg long episode alert bc it's the Season Finale YAY! So many guest stars sent in voice memos, and so much chaos is happening! We see Ben and Leslie aren't being careful at all even though they think they are, Tom and Jean Ralphio start Entertainment 720 (what do they do?) and throw a memorial for LB, and Chris thinks he's dying and thinks about life in a way that involves Ann (but should it?) Plus, 5000 Candles in the Wind is introduced! Go Mouse Rat!

Thanks to Jeff Sloniker, Talia Tabin for all the Harris Wittels/Ben Schwartz stories, Biff Yeager and the unsung hero: the commentary of this DVD.

Thanks to Renee Vaca for sending in makeup information about the incredible Ron facial hair blowing up situation!

WE LOVE YOU LI'L SEBASTIAN! Your contrubution was anything BUT Li'l.

We are so excited to re-release our conversation with Burly for you! Some of you are new and haven't heard him yet and you absolutely need to, because he is so generous and kind with what he shares! Plus, if you're a listener of the pod, you know I message him almost every episode and ask him questions about the show. 😂 
Burly is a real guitar player, has a super cool Geico commercial airing with his wife, and he has a fun background with Mike Schur and we just love all the Mouse Rat rockstar goodness. Enjoy!

Time to talk about banjos and Johns Hopkins University on a road trip (an hour and a half counts as a road trip right?)! Listen in as we deep dive the sexual tension of Leslie and Ben, Andy and April get in a fight over Tom's new game (yet somehow Jerry and Donna are crushing it?), and more! 

We also deep dive Jimmy Carter's Crisis of Confidence speech, why April is the only one to apologize PLUS we talk to John Sloman who guest starred as an Indiana council member for the Little League Assoc!

Go get me another Snorkjuice because it's time for THE FIGHT!!! We have been waiting forever to do this episode! Oh. My. God. We've got BTS on what was improvised, thoughts on juice cleanses, who wrote Jean Ralphio's raps and omg so much more! Plus, it's an extra deep therapy session because we related so deeply to Ann and Leslie - adult friendships are hard, let's talk about it!!!

This week we get a wild origin story! However, to be honest, we spent the first 25 minutes catching up about the New Year and the holidays so if you need to skip ahead, go for it, but there's a lot of therapy moments which is what we're all about!

We also learn about the origin of birthday celebrations, BTS of Parker Posey (Lindsay Carlisle Shay) and we discuss what each of our Ron Swanson/Ann Perkins parties would be! What would yours have??

We cannot express what a joy it was to talk to Mara! (and how totally starstruck we were) She is so inspirational, hard working and just an overall gem of a human. She busts her butt for her work and we love seeing the determination that both Mara and Brandi Maxxxx have in common.
 
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!

And be sure to follow her on Instagram @popgloss and her precious cute baby angel dog Coconut! 

THANK YOU MARA!!!! ❤️ 💕 

Talk soon and Happy New Year!

"For me, it's when the penis goes in" Okay Brandi Maxxxx, we hear you. Today we talk about why in the heck Ben moves in with Andy and April (such a bad idea), Jerry's painting gets put through the RINGER and Leslie takes control in her true goddess form. PS, do you think Diophena is a real goddess? Find out by listening!
