In the world of P&R this week, so much happens. And frankly, it's almost too painful to talk about. So Kirsty and Ellie employ the comfort blanket of Sarah McLaughlin to power through the pain of Li'l Sebastian passing away. Sending condolensces to you all. Chris goes into a health spiral, Donna's Italian accent is shite, Leslie and Ben get caught smooching, and we learn what is 5000 times better than A Candle In The Wind. On the K&E side of things, Ellie goes above and beyond in her recap rap, and there's more singing than usual. Sending more condolensces to you all.
In the world of P&R mayo woman is confused why drinking non-drinking water gave her an infection, Stuart receives unfounded critique from Leslie, and it's Mort's move. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, we are sorry for the unforgiveable delay between the last episode and this one. It is Kirsty's fault.
In the world of P&R Jerry knows where Donna best likes to get it on, Ron gives a young child a land mine, and Leslie FINALLY makes out with Ben on his mouth despite Chris' boggling. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, we discuss the upcoming boat podcast.
We're back with part 2 of the live show, featuring the wonderful Adon as guest caller for the quiz. In this half, we opt to actually discuss the show Parks and Recreation. In the world of P&R, we learn what percentage of Jan Coopers chlamydia affects, some lucky sod is in pre-broth stage, and bababooey. The Kirsty and Ellie side of things is very much a continuation of last time, as is inherent from the format of an episode broken into two. We managed to keep this to under 1hr 4mins, as per many of your requests.
This week, the usual format is out the window. The world of P&R doesn't factor in hugely, except in the dastardly form of snakejuice, on which both the hosts are mildly inhebriated. It is the long-awaited LIVE SHOW, that we completely forgot about and decided to call in regular listeners of the show last-minute. Kirsty talks over Ellie a lot, there is little coherence, and we massively overran so had to cut the episode into two. Part 1 is all pre-ep-breakdown ramble, hence the lack of P&R commentary in this description. But as many of our listeners have said, "the bit at the beginning is the best anyway", and we hope that statement still stands when the hosts are ethanoically comprimised. We'll be back next week with part 2.
In the world of P&R Brandi defines pornography, neither Andy nor April have bank accounts, and topless Leslie gets glued to a horse. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, we bring knowledge of medicinal drugs and primary school maths.
In the world of P&R Andy doesn't know what a peach is, sewage Joe is handing out invites to the toilet party, and Leslie and Tom kiss, which is royally unpleasant. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, there are some lovely chopping sounds in the background as the lasses prepare to enjoy a stir fry.
In the world of P&R we meet Orin, Donna guides Ann through a jungle of men, and April and Andy get married without Harris realising. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, the audio is better, but Ellie's ability to say the 5 tiers of question which we've been doing for almost 40 episodes is drastically worse. Kirsty struggles with naming the male equivalent of a bachelorette party.
In the world of P&R Leslie doubles her 3.5hr sleep schedule in the hope of generating some new ideas, Jerry's daughter is getting some, and Clacko abruptly bites the dust. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, we still have bad audio, but determine that the moon is even worse. Ellie gives the summary of Married At First Sight that you never knew you needed. There's also an ASMR treat for listeners who stick with us to the very end.
In the world of P&R the Harvest Festival is under way! Leslie got Tilda, we meet the incredible Ken Hotate, and it transpires that there are in fact no members of the Parks department feasting on the flesh of petting zoo animals. Also there's a man with some ab(s). On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, we're (at least temporarily) back from our hiatus, in a new location, and on our first ep back in a while we duely managed to fuck up the audio.
In the world of P&R Janet Snakehole makes her first appearance, Ron clarifies the meaning of the statement "give me all the bacon and eggs you have", and Ann finds out that she's not been in a relationship for one week more than she thought. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, Ellie loses touch with the public as she declares 8:45 an unreasonable time to start work, and Kirsty's new idea for how to end an episode gets shat on.
In the world of P&R we find out that not everyone is built for TV, that Ron and Andy are not the literary duo we all thought they would be, and that there are quite a lot of cars in Pawnee. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, the slightly more extreme public forums continue, and there's a hefty intro to power through before any ep analysis.
In the world of P&R we find out that you can cause enough friction to rub off a moustache, Ann is ready to move in with Chris, and the calzones make their first appearance. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, Ellie absolutely nails the podcast from the first moment.
In the world of P&R we find out Pawnee was sued by Julia Roberts, learn far too much about Twilight and excitedly say 'NICE!' and 'BAND!'. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, if you stick around long enough you'll get a lovely rendition of one of the best songs of the noughties.
In the world of P&R Chris can't stop defecating, Ron does his first giggle-run combo of the show and Leslie does cartwheels without moving. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, we thank our lucky stars that English flus are not so hallucinogenic, and hummus lets Kirsty down. Big time.
In the world of P&R we get a first whiff of the Harvest Festival, yet another of Jerry's masterpieces is rudely destroyed, and we can only assume the scissors are broken in a child's house. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, Ellie got very hungry and Kirsty decides to shake things up early doors. #freshseasonfreshstart
We were given no ideas from the public without serious prompting, and then forgot to use the ideas we did get, in favour of some very poor but high-in-effort suggestions from Gledhill, and virtually no input from Rolfe. This intended-to-be-short-yet-somehow-longest-ever episode comes to you to make up for the lack of episodes over the last few weeks. We will be back next week with our first episode of season 3, but in the meantime enjoy this belter*.
*It's not actually that good.
In the world of P&R Leslie talks far too much about Freddy Spaghetti's "sauce", Chris doesn't let seeing someone enaging in sex get in the way of getting to know them, and Mark actually gets a rather wholesome goodbye. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, we complete the Season wrap on Series 2 of Parks and Recrewatchion with some wholesome moments and lots of love for everyone listening. Cheers lads - back for S3 soon xxx
In the world of P&R, Pawnee is in trouble, THE BOYS ARRIVE, and the break up of season-long relationship isn't given any screen time. On the Kirsty and Ellie side of things, Ellie genuinely considers guessing Johnathan Ralphio as the answer to a question in the quiz and SOMEHOW DOESN'T MAKE THE CONNECTION.
