Park Pals

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! Heather's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Raggedy-Ann-Heart-Heather-McPhaul/dp/1419686275Heather's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathermcphaulactor/Heather McPhaul IMDb:https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1573698/Sources: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2909126/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parks_and_Recreation_season_6Good Hang: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-hang-with-amy-poehler/id1795483480Craig Pearman: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s3ep5-media-blitz-w-sean-trainor-craig-pearman-justice/id1551856074?i=1000581758405https://www.state.gov/secretary-of-states-international-women-of-courage-awardhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/our-conversation-with-mel-cowan-red-faced-man/id1551856074?i=1000519249677Support the showRate and review us on Apple Podcasts!Follow us @parkpalspodcast on Instagram!

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!!!!! Brian Stack Supercut:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLumXv6fUZ4Support the showRate and review us on Apple Podcasts!Follow us @parkpalspodcast on Instagram!

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

It's putt putt time! And why don't you melt the cheese!? Leslie and Ron fight to get what they think is best for the community, Andy re-discovers Mouse Rat music is his passion and Ann and Tom have a Mona Lisa meltdown! Also, we learn where this putt putt actually takes place, and hear some super fun deleted scenes! "You two make a guy feel like a real lady" -Jamm LOLDon't forget to check out the interview with Andrew Burly Burlinson!!!! He's so wonderful and we are so grateful to get to talk to him!! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/our-conversation-with-andrew-burly-burlinson-aka-burly/id1551856074?i=1000549858183Support the showRate and review us on Apple Podcasts!Follow us @parkpalspodcast on Instagram!

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

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! IMDBInstagramBut 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=vztTLzRXCSwThen 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_5819fc80e4b01f610e394766We 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

We're headed to Partridge, people! Ben on painkillers is the absolute best, Jamm gets Jammed, and Chris and Ann are... not doing great compatibility-wise. We have a lot to discuss and Madi is back! We get to hear an awesome deleted scene from Ben's doctor and discuss at length the forced feeling of Chris and Ann, which is a bummer. Love that the Parks team gets payback for Ron though, we love!!! Omg, plus JK Simmons!!! Don't forget to rate and review and subscribe and all the things! xoxo Support the showRate and review us on Apple Podcasts!Follow us @parkpalspodcast on Instagram!

And we discuss/rant about how in the heck did Chris go from sperm donor to dad?

Oh, the awkwardness. April asks Chris to be a sperm donor and I go on a tangent about how it didn't have to be this way. Leslie gets her jokes stolen and Donna saves the day with her magical prowess by finding the thief! (it wasn't Jerry) Plus, there's a super funny gag reel and an amazing voice memo from Morgan Parker Brown who plays Charles (the server/Sweetums assistant) with INCREDIBLE details!

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.

All the guest stars this week, so exciting! Thank you so very much to everyone who sent in these awesome, detail-filled behind-the-scenes messages, we love!Women can do anything.

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.

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

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!

"Great news! Lots of old people have chlamydia." This week, we discuss abstinence-only vs Leslie's sex education! (Where for some reason we have bananas, a cucumber, a pineapple AND a watermelon?) Also, this story line was based on a real discussion at this time - STD's were spreading everywhere through old folks homes. Thank you Alan Yang and Craig Zisk for giving us this gem of an episode.

Hi I saw a video on Tik Tok (Surprise, surprise) about a focus wheel and I wanted to share my exercise with you! I've always found manifesting difficult to wrap my head around, because I'd like to experience peace and contentment now, not when "X" thing happens. This seemed like a good balance, but maybe I'm just delusional and isn't that really the point? Money comes to me. I am debt free. Those are my statements. What are yours? Feel free to venmo me at any time by the way LOL @hollyxconstant is my Venmo! Don't forget to rate and review and all the things! Sending you delusional thoughts too

THE PERM. MUST. WAIT. We start this episode discussing the Olympics (GO USA AND BEYONCE AND CELINE AND SIMONE AND EVERYONE!) then we dive into how a bill becomes a law!!! What a great episode to set up some wonderful characters for the Parks gang to add to their crew! And we don't know about you, but seeing Ron start a healthy relationship is so emotional! We decide we'd love a road trip with Ben, the amazing Jamm (Jon Glaser!) joins the cast and of course Diane, our super cool badass lady shows us how it's done! Also, shouts to Andy for making this happen! AND shoutout to Autumn Butler, the perm expert, who was the ACTUAL makeup artist for Parks and Rec! So fun! Rest in Peace to the wonderful actor James Greene, who played Milton. You will live in our hearts forever.

Hi everyone! I'm back! And it's free! And I don't think I cursed once... wtf?I talk about what's been happening this year of 2024 - job searches, how acting/singing/podcasting might not be the money-making career for me ever and that could be okay, grief, cultivating relationships and just life transitions all around. My goal for the years to come is to be happy/content NOW and not wait for it, so. Anyone else? I hope it's not a bummer and more of a reminder that we're all in this together! DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!

Season 5 premiere baby! We're going to DC! Join me (Holly) as I take us through new camera operators for this season, where scenes in DC were shot and more commentary about how Ron can't just kill a pig in front of kids. Love that we get to see some history from Washington (why is it called a National Mall, why does the color of the Washington Monument change?, what Smithsonian were they even at?) and that we get to see Chris be a fair, appropriate leader to Ron. :) Oh side note, I go live on Insta halfway through, so that'll be fun to hear.

Amazing stories to hear of Nick Offerman remembering you and more! Also, let's bask in the glory that is Leslie's speech (shouts to Ben for writing and shouts to Leslie for adding on). We need to hear this right now. Full circle sliding her picture into the boys club that is no longer just a boys club.

Welcome back Madi!!!! And welcome back Park Pals to the SEASON FINALE!!!! I'm calling this the Deleted Scenes extravaganza because there were so many juicy cut moments! (Ron bringing his own whiskey and taking a shrimp plate, a lot of amazing guest stars, why Chris thinks it's okay to ask Ann if he can sleep with Jen again - gross) First, we catch up a bit with Madi going over some motherhood moments, then dive deep with an exciting promo from back when this originally aired (almost to the exact date) - this aired on May 10, 2012 and we recorded May 11, 2024!

We're jumping in right where left off, with a cut scene from the classroom reading at Groffle the Awful Waffle AND the tea on how exactly Groffle crossed the syrup river!!!!

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! Brad Leland (click here for his IMDB!) is in a movie called The Last Whistle with Jim O'Heir (from 2019), Love and Death with Elizabeth Olsen and Jesse Plemons, LaRoy, Texas with Steve Zahn, Accidental Texan with Bruce Dern and Thomas Haden Church.

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!)Citizens of Pawnee Podcast with Bryon!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/citizens-of-pawnee-a-parks-and-recreation-podcast/id1554337901https://www.instagram.com/citizensofpawneepodcast/https://www.instagram.com/parksrecmemes/ Billy Merritt!https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4917066/https://www.instagram.com/billymerritt/Sarah Gaboury's acting classes! https://realactorslab.com/https://www.instagram.com/realactorslab/Liz Benoit!https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2070557/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1Mara Marini!PARK PALS EPISODE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/our-conversation-with-mara-marini-aka-brandi-maxxxx/id1551856074?i=1000592867105https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1312458/?ref_=tt_cl_t_14https://www.instagram.com/popgloss/Linda Montana: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/our-conversation-with-linda-montana-aka-denise-yermley/id1551856074?i=1000524048681https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0598928/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1https://www.instagram.com/linda.montana.37/Support the Show.Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!Follow us @parkpalspodcast on Instagram!

Subscriber-only episodeWELOME MOLLY!!!! Thank you for being here as part of the Bonus Pod Club! We are so grateful to have you! and by we, I mean me! (Probably K too) Join me as I talk about my old dating text messages that I'm going back to delete, a wild set story, and a new job adventure! I also talk about the pop culture topics of late - Beyonce, T Sweezy, Kacey Musgraves, Succession AND Quiet on Set. LOTS to discuss and I talk fast so get ready.....

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.

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!

This week we start off the podcast with amazing voice memos from Dani Fish (Pawnee Rangers - Lauren), Jeff Holman (Smallest Park - Joe), Eric Pierpoint (Dave Returns - Chief Trumple), and Kelly Washington (The Treaty- Allison)!!!!!!! There were SUCH incredible stories and I'm so excited and honored that you shared your experiences with us! Please follow all of them below!  The Sweet Sixteen episode starts at about 52 minutes if you want to skip, but I encourage you to just pause if you need to! Happy Birthday/Leap Year Jerry! On this episode, we learn about Ich Bin Ein Berliner, where MASH was shot (you'll see why), and more about why Leap Years exist!! Also, seeing the mentorship between Ron and Leslie is so beautiful and seeing the immature petty relationship between Ann and Tom is not beautiful.

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.

Subscriber-only episodeTODAY WAS WILD. Canceled interviews, annoying stuff and how work is our whole culture, so let's just rant together. My heart and soul and activism and hopefully change goes out to the victims of the Kansas City shooting. It's so hard when your life and your world feels like a fight, but staying involved, as sad and hard as it is, can save you. I still don't know if things will ever change, certainly not quickly, but I/we/you have to keep trying. Please let me know if you'd like to be involved in Nashville's chapter of Mom's Demand Action. 

What's Leslie first least favorite word for a woman? Get ready to go intimately and weirdly bowling today! Join Holly and Sean as they discover so much about the guest stars (thank you everyone for sending in voice memos), how Holly is deeply connected to the specific bowling alley in Parks, and we see Ben punch someone for the first time in his life. Also April shows the biggest arc we've seen yet and we love it. :)Thank you Heather Horton, Brad Slaight, Polly Humphreys, Bill Coelius and Bruno Alexander for your insight!

What do Parks and Marvel have in common? Paul and Pratt, but that's not what this is about - this week is Leslie's campaign ad! Bobby is just a rich Andy, Andy has 800 medical problems and Leslie and Ben balance their extreme views to a middle ground. Also we learn who Mr Belvedere was, what Raclette the dog was named after and what Alsace Lorraine even is.  Cheers to doing your best scary campaign ad impressions of "Bobby Newpooooorrrrttttt" Cooper Thornton aka Dr Harris interview: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/re-release-our-conversation-with-cooper-thornton-aka/id1551856074?i=1000605498782Kyle Forrest aka Andy interview: https://podcasts.apple.com/id/podcast/our-conversation-with-andy-forrest/id1551856074?i=1000540699891&l=idSupport the showRate and review us on Apple Podcasts!Follow us @parkpalspodcast on Instagram!

Subscriber-only episodeWelcome to the first ever bonus episode of Park Pals! This all started because I did "Strike Pod" during the SAG strike when we couldn't talk about Parks. Some of you (only a few lol), wanted to keep up with the strike pods so guess what, I'm doing it. BUT ONLY FOR SUBSCRIBERS! I want this to be an exchange of ideas! Contact me, DM me, ask me questions, it doesn't have to be about Parks, I'll talk about a lot!!!!!! On this particular episode, I talk about whether or not we like the thumbs up reaction, how job hunting is awful and how I may or may not join a cult.
