As you might expect from the title, this week Mark and Allen are combing over the details of Season 6 in the way only they can do. There's a lot of stuff in this one, including interviews, some delightful banter, and a lot of fun. As always, we tackle the tough questions, such as ... What interviews are we talking about? Will our score analysis be interesting? How does Season 6 compare to past seasons? All this and MORE coming up right now! Stick around, true believers. C'mon. You know you wanna. Did we mention we have free pizza?

Join us for a  message from the man we all love (especially Mark), the mustachioed legend...Ron Swanson himself! We drug Ron out of the Swanson cabin (geo-location undisclosed) just in time for our Live from Pawnee exclusive to kick off your 2024 with panache! We hope you will take a few minutes to relax, listen, and take in some of the greatest advice ever given!

From Mark, Allen, and Ron and all of us at Live from Pawnee and the LFP Worldwide Headquarters, we wish all of you, our viewers, a very Happy and Safe New Year!

This week Mark and Allen break down the Episode where we learned Ann once went out on a date with Perd Hapley! It is Ann and Chris' last day in Pawnee, and Leslie has organized a huge going away party so they can enjoy one last occasion with them. At the party, Leslie explains that because she doesn't know when she will see Ann again, the party's theme is a celebration of everything that will happen in the coming year. Furthermore, in celebration of how their friendship started, Leslie secretly arranges for her and Ann to officially break ground on Pawnee Commons at Lot 48 as a going away present. However, Harold, the Director of Public Works, is angry that Leslie went over his head to do that, since his department did NOT sign off on it. Later, Leslie finds out Harold put a padlock on the fence surrounding Lot 48, halting her plans for a midnight groundbreaking. Trying to think of a way around this, Leslie tells Ann about her surprise plan. Ann is up for one more crazy caper with Leslie, and insists they do whatever they need to do for the groundbreaking to take place. Meanwhile, as the guys help Chris pack up the last of his things, they notice several boxes with their names on them, which Chris reveals are "buddy boxes" ... his gift to each of the guys, with each one containing a memento symbolizing Chris' friendship with each of them. They open up the boxes to find very heartfelt, thoughtful gifts. Clearly, the guys were not prepared for such a meaningful exchange ... they got him a gift card to that awesome store "Pots and Pans" ... and they try to come up with something better over the course of the evening. As always, we tackle the tough questions, such as ... Does the groundbreaking of Pawnee Commons take place as planned? Do the guys succeed with their gift attempt, or do they continue to suck? What are all the things celebrated by Leslie's farewell extravaganza? How does Leslie make Lot 48 "raccoon-safe"? What was within everyone's buddy box? Can Ben come up with one final idea that will be meaningful to Chris? Will this be Leslie and Ann's last crazy caper together? Is this really the end of an era? Loyal viewers, please join us for this bittersweet farewell to the eternally cheerful Chris Traeger, and the beautiful, talented, brilliant, powerful musk ox that is Ann Perkins. Goodbye, musk ox. Many thanks to our amazing sponsor Pawnee Super Suites!

As per the oh-so-descriptive name, this week Mark and Allen are going on a grabbing frenzy ... a little viewer feedback ... some score analysis ... episode reviews ... a location guide or two ... even a teaser from a certain interview. As always, we tackle the tough questions, such as ... Who did we interview? What did our viewer feedback have to say? Is there any further news regarding our acquisition of MARBUCKS? Will our score analysis be interesting? What the hell is a location guide? Yep, all this, and EVEN MORE coming right up! Stick around, true believers. C'mon. You know you wanna. Did we mention there are snacks? Special thanks to our sponsor Pawnee 311 and to Production Designer extraordinaire Ian Phillips for being our guest. Hang out until the end for a sneak peek at our upcoming full interview! 

This week Mark and Allen break down the Episode where Ann wants to be a mother! Empowered by her newfound independence, Ann decides to date herself for a while instead of getting swept up in a new boyfriend's personality. Six weeks into the experiment, she comes to a realization: she's ready to be a mom. It's a big decision, but she tells Leslie she's ready to go to the sperm bank and look into having a child on her own. Leslie tries to be supportive, but is quietly convinced that Ann is making a huge mistake. At the sperm bank, they run into Sewage Joe, who claims to be a frequent donor, and his patronage is enough to scare Ann off. Leslie inadvertently helps Ann realize that her ideal sperm donor should be someone she knows. With a new wave of enthusiasm, Ann narrows it down to three potential sperm donors and brings them into the office, pretending she's interviewing them for a blog. Meanwhile, Ben tries to make headway on his task for the wedding: finding a caterer. He arranges a taste testing of the three best catering companies in Pawnee, and has invited his own personal panel of experts: Chris (the veggie lover), Ron (the meat lover), and Tom (the foodie who takes photos of food instead of eating it). Ben breaks the three-way tie with his own input, deciding on the caterer who served an appetizer of "mini calzones." The day after the taste testing, Chris, Ben and Ron are all completely crippled by horrible food poisoning, and they haven't even seen Tom yet - god knows what this is doing to that poor little bird-like man. Finally, while Leslie is busy with her councilwoman duties, April is tasked with her worst nightmare: leading a public forum for the Pawnee Commons every day that week. She decides the best way to survive the ordeal is to imitate Leslie; she even dons one of Leslie's famous pantsuits to tackle the task. But Leslie's chipper methods just aren't suitable for April, and the first meeting quickly spirals out of her control. April tries to persist, continuing to channel Leslie, but with little or no success. As always, we tackle the tough questions, such as ... Will Leslie try to take control of the situation? What ended up happening to Tom? How does April get along with the crazy Pawnee residents? Who are Ann's three potential sperm donors? Do they ever figure out the exact source of the food poisoning? Can April figure out how to effectively handle the public forum? Does Ann end up picking a winner? Who does Ben end up selecting as the wedding caterer? What is Andy's mistake that stresses out April, but provides great snacks? Loyal viewers, whip yourself up a tasty dish, tune your podcast dial, and come along on our journey! Have we ever let you down before? Many thanks to our fantastic sponsor, often imitated but never duplicated ... JJ's Diner.

Frank & Billy are looking forward to a visit from the legendary UCLA basketball star and a first round pick in the NBA draft, John Vallely, on the April 13th episode of A Mick A Mook and A Mic. 

Vallely, a former NBA player and 2x NCAA Basketball Champion, was a star and All-American for the John Wooden led UCLA Bruins. He won his two NCAA championships in 1969 and 1970, and was a teammate of Kareem Abdul Jabbar (then known as Lew Alcindor) in ’69.

The 14th player drafted in the First Round of the 1970 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks, the 6’2” guard also played for the Houston Rockets.

As impressive as Vallely was in hoops, the Newport Beach, CA born athlete was equally dominant in volleyball. Introduced to beach volleyball while in high school, John was a member of one of beach volleyball’s greatest two-man duos ever. In 1969, Vallely and his partner, the legendary Von Hagen, put together a perfect season, winning all of the five open tournaments they entered.

Vallely was recognized for his beach volleyball accomplishments by being inducted into the California Beach Volleyball Association (CBVA) Hall of Fame.

Following his basketball career, Vallely built a successful real estate portfolio and a sports apparel business. Since the passing of his daughter, Erin, from cancer at the age of 12, he has been actively involved in pediatric cancer research, serving on the Board of Director of the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation with Rod Carew.

Vallely faced his own battle with cancer, being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2002, and was later blessed with a successful stem cell/bone marrow transplant in 2006. He called on the lessons he learned from Coach Wooden to come out triumphant in that battle as well.

John currently works in Orange County, CA where he lives with his wife Karen of 50+ years, and close to his son Eric and granddaughter Erin.

A basketball legend and a California Beach Volleyball Hall of Famer, the affable John Vallely will be a special ‘MMM’ guest on April 13th.

IN THIS EPISODE
They say that in certain tragic situations only mad men can keep their hope alive. But it’s that little spark that can eventually pull that same man from the depths of despair. Even in our darkest moments, even when it seems impossible, even when all seems lost. Hope saves us. Hope is a buoy keeping us afloat, Hope is a powerful force and a necessary ingredient when it comes to overcoming life’s toughest challenges. We can each decide, for ourselves, that the things that happen to us, do not have to define us, and instead move forward with purpose and with passion. When we lose hope, we lose a valuable tool. Choose hope, and you free yourself from helplessness. Where there is hope, there is life.

Age is just a number and today’s guest proved that to be true. We’ve got basketball history in the house! Ken Mink is the oldest college basketball player to ever score in a game and we get to hear all about it. 

Ken Mink was born in 1935 and grew up in Tennessee. He starred on his high school team that led him to a scholarship to play at Lee’s College. An alleged prank that he was falsely accused of got him kicked off his college team in the 1950’s. Fast forward 53 years later and at the age of 73, Ken decided to give college basketball another shot. He made the team at Roane State in 2008-2009 and became the oldest player to ever score in a college basketball game. He played and scored in multiple games and became an inspiration across the world. He went on to win many gold medals in the senior olympics in both team and individual competitions and is still competing to this day at age 86. Ken shares great stories about growing up in Tennessee, Johnny Cox, Frank Selvy, Pete Maravich, Big O, the alleged prank, his comeback at age 73, senior olympics, changes in the game, his books and MUCH more.

BIG thanks to Ken for taking the time to hang out and share his journey with us. We loved hearing more about his story, learned a lot about the game and shared plenty of laughs in this one as well. We know you will be inspired and enjoy listening to this one!

Thank you Ken Mink!
