Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones say that one of their best Parks and Recreation giggle fits involved a shotgun, vomit, and an out-of-control wrestling match.

In the season 2 episode “Hunting Trip,” Leslie (Poehler) invites herself and all the ladies of the Pawnee Parks Department to Ron’s (Nick Offerman) annual trail survey, which is secretly a hunting trip. After Leslie accidentally shoots Ron, she and April must hold him down and force ipecac into his mouth when he admits he swallowed down several pain pills with a glass of Scotch.

“We were trying to get this like liquid in his mouth,” Jones recalled on Tuesday’s episode of Poehler’s new podcast, Good Hang. “And, you know, it’s Hollywood, so things that happen on camera don’t actually happen in real life. So it was written that we hold him down, and he’s resisting us, and we give him this thing. But you don’t know how small you are,” Jones said, adding, “Nick is solid. He’s a solid dude.”

“Yeah, he’s a Midwestern, corn-fed dude,” Poehler agreed. Jones continued that she and Poehler “were trying to hold him down, and he was whipping us around with such ease…. The both of us could not hold him down. He would literally just go, ‘Beep!’ and we would just fly off the bed in each direction. We could not stop laughing.”

Poehler agreed, referring to the laughing jag that ensued as “giggle orgasm city.” The series star and producer remembered, “We each had one arm. And he would, it felt like just the flick of a wrist, and we would fly across the room.”

“And he was being gentle!” Jones exclaimed.

“Yeah, he wasn’t fighting for his life. And we could not get him to stay down,” Poehler said. “Also, I think there’s something fun about wrestling and being thrown around is so fun. He was throwing us around… If I was to picture it in my mind, you were just like, ‘Whee!’ I could just see you going past me and your hair going, ‘Whee!’ And then your legs going, ‘Whee!'”

The scene might sound violent, but Poehler explained that they trusted Offerman. “Because Nick is such a lovely, gentle guy in general, we knew that we weren’t going to get hurt,” she said.

The scene only lasts about 20 seconds, but captures the madness Poheler and Jones describe, especially in a shot of Offerman bucking Poehler around as if by a bull. “The good news is he’s resting comfortably,” Leslie says after the ordeal ends, hair mussed, overalls snapped, with a look of stunned exhaustion in her eyes.

Poehler said she and Jones have been friends for over 20 years, first working together on Parks, which premiered in 2009. The friendship between Poehler’s Leslie and Jones’ Ann remains one of the show’s constants, as other friendships, relationships, and rivalries ebb and flow.

The stars had a mini Parks reunion in 2023, in which they strutted down the street together to Miguel’s “Sure Thing.” Poehler included the hashtag “#annandleslie4eva” in the caption.

They have also continued their annual tradition of celebrating “Galentine’s Day,” the romantic holiday alternative that Leslie invents on a season 2 episode of the show. That same year, Jones shared an Instagram photo with Poehler, Aubrey Plaza, and Kathryn Hahn, with the caption, “Happy Galentine’s Day from the original Gals!”
