Man as yule log.
45 minutes of blazing fire, unspeaking man (Nick Offerman), and glass of single malt whisky (Lagavulin). I caught this viral advertising from Metafilter.

Nurse.
At least in this one he says the name of the product.
I'm usually in my pajamas (the wife forbids wearing underwear in the living room), and drinking strictly distilled grapes. This is a non-barley body thank you...
My dad always told me that the only thing that should feed on grain, is cattle, and only before slaughter.
45 minutes of extra line breaks.
I can't believe he left the cork out. This is why men need a butler. Before we had a butler, my wife would scream all the time, as I left things askew of her standards...
Brilliant, here's someone for lonely extroverts to talk at when no one else is around.
First time I laughed at a man scratching his ear. For what it's worth.
Awesome. I'm more a Glenlivet 12 guy. Don't like smokey scotch.
Fail #1, it's a natural gas fire.
I have been drinking and American single malt whisky Westland, for a while now. It is great.

OK, they are probably hipsters, but the stuff is good.
I've said before that I'm a fan of slow tv but that was mainly because it helps with anxiety, which in this instance is counteracted by Mr Offerman running his fingertips on the rim of the glass which is gross to me. - dogwalker
LO FUCKING L. Next she will be complaining about the cats burying their poop under the bushes in her yard and the dogs peeing on the telephone pole down the street. Or maybe even all of the spawn of the Anglo breeders wiping their snot on the shopping carts in the grocery store and the demands of their parents for tax subsidies.
using ASMR to sell stuff. ha.
tim, the fail is less the video and more the fact that since 2009 wood burning fireplaces are not allowed in new constructions in SoCal, and very restricted for remodels. Giving he owns a wood-working shop in LA, and presumably lives not too far away from that, I'd guess the gas isn't his preference either.
I've been told by people in the market for new built homes, that it's increasinly common for houses in California not to have any fireplace at all.
While waiting for the right arm of the chair to start smoking (which doesn't happen), here are some other film highlights:
0:29 - first drink
1:42 - sniff only
3:17 - drink
10:25 - drink
20:28 - amazingly long break
20:48 - repour
28:49 - drink
30:26 - sniff and drink
36:40 - drink
38:44 - drink
44:30 - finish and leave for bathroom
I have Redwing work boots like that. Otherwise I'm not a big single malt person.
"tim, the fail is less the video and more the fact that since 2009 wood burning fireplaces are not allowed in new constructions in SoCal, and very restricted for remodels."
Sure glad I have no desire to move to SoCal. OTOH, a fireplace in the land of perpetual warmth seems kind of out of place. Kinda like Christmas.
Funny stuff. I watched Offerman's latest stand-up show on Netflix. Generally, he struck me as a liberal who does not realize he is a conservative.
Offerman is a good actor, but that still must be a really comfortable chair. No way I would want to be that still for 45 minutes. That would be the main benefit of a real fire. A nice thing to tend very 15 minutes or so.
Nick Offerman is fantastic in the current season of the Fargo TV series on FX.
Based on interviews he's given, I bet he demanded retakes until the bottle was empty.
