THE END IS HERE! (of season 6 anyway!)

So many amazing cast interviews, band interviews, finding out what Bobby Knight Ranger is, and again - all the cut scenes! Did you know the dummer of Mouse Rat was also the drummer of Letters to Cleo?! (Shouts to Mark Rivers!) More trivia like that, coming in hot during this episode!

Thank you all SO much for listening and having a blast with us! This truly was so fun to research and watch. Don't forget to rate and review, and we'll see you for Season 7!

Did you know Mike Schur doesn't love Hawaiian Pizza? Such an informative, jam-packed episode and this is just the beginning of the end! (Of Season 6) ALSO the similarities I found between Friends (the TV show) and Parks is kind of hilarious!

Deleted scenes, a TON of blooper reel scenes, surprises (and reproductive information) at the doctor's office, Keegan Michael Key AND guest star voice memos?! WHAT A DAY! Plus, the writers did such a great job showing us the amazing love and balance that Leslie and Ben share.

Thank you so much to Teresa Reilly aka Kitty Goodbye, our pharmacist that tells Leslie she most likely doesn't have the flu. What an amazing memory and the joy of her story is SO fun and wonderful.

Thank you also to Caroline Hall, our lovely "crying mom" at the elementary school with Keegan Michael Key! Amazing mic pack stories, and working with Keegan plus, the surprise person she knew before she got to set!
