| 0:06.0 | Here's a preview of the new one. There are a ton of like amazing people in this movie. Among |
| 0:12.3 | which is the woman who plays Leslie Noep's mom on Parks and Recreation is one of the news anchors |
| 0:20.1 | and I like to think that this is part of a shared universe in which like she left her position as |
| 0:26.0 | a news anchor and moved to Pawnee, Indiana became a powerful local local elected politician |
| 0:32.5 | and then Parks and Recreation exist in the universe in which Bob Roberts is the senator and |
