Flopcast 655: Flopsgiving Day Parade

As usual, we ring in the stupid holidays with a Letters to Cleo concert report, because our favorite 90s Boston band always comes home for Thanksgiving. (Letters to Cleo once performed on Parks and Recreation, and weirdly, just down the street from the concert, we spotted an actual citizen of Pawnee, Indiana. It was either Jerry, Garry, Larry, or Barry.) Then, as we approach the 100th anniversary of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Kevin and the Mayor look back at some of the odd performances and big freaky balloons in parades past. (The 1974 and 1984 parades included future Flopcast guests! Weird...) Anyway, have a festive holiday, and don't worry about inviting Patty, Marcie, and Franklin. They'll just show up.

Show Notes

Hey, it's Jim O'Heir from Parks and Recreation!

Letters to Cleo appeared in the season 6 finale, fulfilling the dreams of Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott). Here is a cute fan tribute video, set to "Here and Now", that includes Ben's big moment.

Despite his best efforts, Kevin could not avoid being right in front of Kay's mic.

 

Kay donned the polka dots for the second set, featuring the band's soundtrack songs!
