Hello listeners, this week our newest team Coco podcast Parks and Rec Election.

It's about Parks and Recreation, but they're remembering it, so it's a funny pun thingy.

Parks and Rec Election has an exciting episode featuring Chris Pratt.

In Parks and Rec Election hosts Alan Yang and Rob Lowe revisit Pawnee, Indiana,

by watching every episode of Parks and Recreation. This week they've made it to the season one finale

rock show and I wanted to share a clip of Rob, Alan and Chris reminiscing about Chris's take on

the hilarious character of Andy Dwyer. Do you remember your audition? Yeah, oh I do. I remember my

auditions at CBS Radford. I remember walking up to, you know, I was supposed to play this guy who's

like a loser boyfriend, rock and roll guy, who's kind of scum, you know, he's the, you know, impetus

a CV, a special guest starts great. So I like, I made, I was very intentional about staying up

one of those moments like I went into it was like, oh, it doesn't take me a second. I shouldn't have,

I shouldn't have stayed up now. I look like I'm a meth head. And then I walked into the lobby and
