Thank you, Devin Sidell and Bonnie Bailey-Reed for sending incredible voice memos in, about the kindness of Nick Offerman, Amy Poehler and more! Such detailed and incredible information. This week, we discuss where the Pawnee/Eagleton park is located, how Leslie feels that she's lost control, and Tom's Bistro may become a reality. Plus Andy deleted scenes, so good.
