Our podcast hosts, Raina and Brandon, struggle to nail down the B-plot for this one, and they get a little into the muddy politics of the early 2000's NBC sitcom. Some things are funnier than they were at the time, and other jokes feel a little dated. Come join us in the pit!

And in this episode, Raina has her strongest recall of what goes on. The first time the plot skews away from the Lot 48 pit, and Leslie Knope is already getting into trouble when she breaks a local government rule, and April Ludgate gets a little tipsy too.
