Watch Nick Offerman and The Manliest Yule Log Ever

By Sam Slaughter Dec 17, 2019 5:08 PM

This holiday season, you literally spend every moment of holiday in pure, uninterrupted bliss with the man, the myth the legend Nick Offerman himself. On top of that, you can do it while watching him drink Lagavulin scotch whisky.

That’s right. Forty-five straight minutes of a burning yule log, Nick Offerman, and Scotch whisky. This is, literally, the best thing to happen this December. The yule log first premiered on WPIX forty-nine years ago. This year, Offerman and Lagavulin are ensuring that it’ll never, ever be the same.

Need something to put on in the background of a boring office party? Boom.

What about that awkward holiday dinner with family? For sure.

Just need something quiet and contemplative while you fool yourself into thinking that your new Year’s resolutions are going to stick for more than a week? You got it.

Now, pour your own glass, sit back, and take it all that is good this holiday season.

Feeling stuck or behind? Here are the five days you need to schedule every month

It feels like every single month, when the calendar turns over (figuratively speaking, unless you still have a physical calendar), there is no way it is already the first of a new month. It can feel like you are stuck in the middle of a grind, that you are behind on everything, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t catch up. Or even move forward. That can weigh on you. Just like a new year creates new motivations, new planning, and new goals, you can break the months into smaller scales.

Your monthly calendar (and even further, going to the week) should reflect the things you want to accomplish. And, if you are feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like you are falling behind, here are five non-negotiable days you should set up every single month to set you up for climbing out of your funk.

On the anniversary of “Dr. No,” here is every EON Bond movie ranked

James Bond at a casino

International James Bond Day is here, and we have been putting all our time and focus into honoring our favorite double-0 with multiple launches, a watch and a book, his best looks, and a ranking of the men who have portrayed 007 across the last sixty years. Today, on the anniversary of Dr. No (the first mission to hit the theaters), we look back at all 25 films under the EON banner (no parodies or spin-offs here) and give you our definitive ranking of every 007 adventure. Some will surprise you, some will not. But all of these are a good time.

Apart from the fact that he wears the same clothes that I wear, he and I really have little in common. I do rather envy him his blondes and his efficiency, but I can’t say I much like the chap. – Ian Fleming

Happy International James Bond Day! Every James Bond actor, ranked from worst to best

Sean Connery as James Bond.

If you didn’t know already, it is International James Bond Day. What does that mean? It means that today is the day we celebrate our favorite 007 agent, our most beloved member of MI6, or undeniably stylish fashion inspiration. Why is it October 5th? I am glad you asked. On this day in 1962, Sean Connery donned the suit and tie, grabbed the Walther PPK, and uttered for the first time the iconic line, “Bond, James Bond.”

Now, if you know me, you know that this is a day I always look forward to. There are always launches, celebrations, and announcements to look forward to. If Batman Day is my Christmas, this is my Super Bowl. And, since I now have an inarguable reason to talk all things James Bond, I felt it was time that I dropped a ranking of all the men who portrayed the character, and I expect you to argue with me until your dying breath. Over martinis, of course, shaken…not stirred.
