Park Pals: A Parks and Recreation Podcast

Today, we have a guest from Season 1 Episode 6, "Rock Show" - Stephanie Erb! Stephanie played Ron's date/Tammy 2's "Younger, prettier sister" - go back and watch it as a refresher, so fun!  We have a really great walk-down-memory-lane on this episode in particular and discuss her journey in acting, booking her first big role, our fav TV shows and of course our favorite things about Parks and Rec!! Yes, they deserve all the Emmys! Plus, so cool to see the symbolic green bench at the pit in Season 1 versus Season 6 that we are reviewing now!  PS, we said she auditioned for the Office, but it may have been a Parks and Rec audition first - either way, good on casting for remembering and bringing her back!  Please check out her awesome projects and don't forget to see her show in LA at the Road Theatre Company next month!  Thank you so much Stephanie!  Tickets to OtherKin (theater): https://roadtheatre.org/ [https://roadtheatre.org/] Stephanie Erb and Heather McPhaul's Film "Lady Invisible": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iktg8lSm4cY [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iktg8lSm4cY] Stephanie's Webseries "In Therapy With Dr. L": https://www.youtube.com/@intherapywithdr.l3659 Follow Stephanie on IG: https://www.instagram.com/stephanie_erb_official/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/stephanie_erb_official/?hl=en] Helen Slayton Hughes Groundhog Day Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e79_7APRlz0 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e79_7APRlz0] Amy Poehler and Mike Schur's new show in development! https://www.peacocktv.com/blog/amy-poehler-mike-schur-peacock-series-dig#:~:text=Ten%20years%20after%20Parks%20and,and%20executive%20produce%20the%20series [https://www.peacocktv.com/blog/amy-poehler-mike-schur-peacock-series-dig#:~:text=Ten%20years%20after%20Parks%20and,and%20executive%20produce%20the%20series] Support the show [https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=M8DFAC2SP649E] Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!

ALL THE GUEST STARS! Voice memo guest stars from The Pawnee Eagleton Tip Off Classic AND all the guest star appearances on Doppelgangers!  Today, I'm solo, but never fear - Madi sent in her summary and we are off to the races! We meet the Eagleton Parks crew to find out who stays and goes, Leslie crashes out about Ann, and Ben/Chris have a nostalgic moment. Did you know the Beaufort scale was invented by Sir Beaufort to measure wind? Did you know Sam Elliott and Nick Offerman are like... friends? Now you do! So much to learn.  Thank you to Jason Duplissea, Kelly Hawthorne, Poonam Basu, Allan McLeod, and Aly Mawji for sending in GOLD in the form of voice memos and behind the scenes details.

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!  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26585105/ [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26585105/] Mel Cowan's last episode is today! "I hate the one-at-a-time system!"

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!  Thank you and don't forget to rate and review!  Sources: IMDb [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3334072/?ref_=ttep_ep_2] Heidi Klum EW article  [https://www.eonline.com/news/442450/parks-and-recreation-scoop-heidi-klum-to-guest-star-in-season-6-premiere] Filming in London [https://www.buzzfeed.com/ailbhemalone/the-parks-and-rec-cast-were-filming-in-london ] Mongolia!

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!
