Nick Offerman on What He’d Be Like as President, Getting Arrested By Accident & New Movie Civil War
Комедия
Nick talks about coming from a family of politicians, his sister being a powerful librarian in Illinois, his dad being the Mayor of Minooka, IL, getting into trouble in college for stealing Ronnie Milsap cassettes, spending a night in jail with his friends after they were mistaken for burglars, playing the president in his new movie Civil War, and what a Nick Offerman presidency would actually look like.

Same here! _Nick Offerman_ and or _Beau of the Fifth Column._ Two men who would make the greatest presidents (both build stuff, and kind of trouble-makers in their youth, too) but neither of them wants anything to do with it. Isn't it odd, or maybe natural I think, that the best leaders are just people going around setting good examples, and don't want anything to do with Hierarchy? I seek Horizontal power, instead. ❤🌍🌎🌏🌐

So effortless funny Nick Offerman.. type you can have a hours long conversation with and never be bored
Grew up in Walla Walla, WA. My junior high girlfriend (now my wife of 48 years) took home ec and typing. She is an awesome cook and a fast typist. I got kicked out of shop class before we started using hand tools. I can't type but i make things in my workshop. Way better equipped shop than the one in junior high. We greatly emjoy our grandkids. Its a good life!
Every now and then the stars align and a comedy show is born - Parks & Rec was just such a show. It gave birth to a generation of comedic actors. Actors that have wholeheartedly entertained us for over 25 years. Why? Because they are unabashedly real in their comedic recollection of life's endlessly hysterical BS. I Love Nick Offerman - He's comic Gold! The man deserves multiple comedy Emmies! Ps...so does Kimmel for his endless comic show!!!!

Nick! We need you in our politics, for real!
Having grown up on a farm, Nick Offerman is absolutely right about the importance of agriculture, wood working, and home ec. We can have all of the tech in the world, but without chairs, tables, and food, we would not be very productive. Past government legislature is what got us to these huge industrial complex farms that have ravaged our resources and destroyed small family farms. It's sad, but it's the bed in which they must lie, and it's up to us to make a change at the booth to find the people willing to take on those not so TV worthy debates.
Gotta admit... being caught stealing those is way funnier than just stealin' 'em in the first place. You won that round.

Nick Offerman makes an extremely IMPORTANT POINT: Regular skills we use with our hands (that almost always requires reading/math, etc.) like cooking or building or fixing is no longer being taught in schools and hasn't been for quite some time now. I was shocked to learn my grandson couldn't even read cursive handwriting on the birthday card I gave him. Complained it looked like a foreign language. Explains why the kids coming into adulthood now don't have much of a clue at all. Shame on us all.

I'm sure your grandson is learning a lot now that you didn't back then. There are only so many hours in a school week, and there's so much new knowledge in every field of study. My two nephews are in highschool right now, and they're learning things that I was taught in my second year of college. I know it's in fashion to say that kids these days have it easy, or that we're lowering standards, by my experience is the opposite. It seems to me they have to learn more, in a shorter amount of time, and in schools that have fewer resources per student than we had.
@Gildedmuse

@@quietreason8679Its true, and while I do think schools should bring back things like woodshop/home ec as electives and be more open to students taking a non-college route, I also don't think its fair to assume that just because they're learning different information it's somehow a failure in the system. For instance, cursive was invented because the way ink would run from a quill/fountain pen. These are not typical writing implements anymore. So if you have a choice between teaching a child to read cursive or, say, have some level of technological literacy or even just a typing class would prove a much more useful skill in today's world. A kid that learns curvive is like a kid learning latin: its a skill, people associate it with intelligence, you can take some of what you learn and use it to potentially aid you in reading comprehension in some way. But overall, its a dead skill, and unless you're going into very specific careers, there is every chance that while it might make your parent's proud, you will never use these skills you wasted a semester being taught and it won't actually do any good for you career or future wise. On the other hand, as someone who CRUSHED it in an office setting because of my basic understanding of technology and computers - like, I was a tech GOD to those peope, and my computer skills are fairly mid - any sort of computer training is likely to pay off as its almost guaranteed that regardless of their futures they will interact with technology at some point.

@@GildedmuseThere is a critical difference between something like cursive writing, and a "useful skill" like typing. Don't get me wrong here, I was glad I took typing. It was an invaluable skill until technology evolved further, and I had to learn to type with my thumbs and use voice recognition. On the other hand, writing in cursive requires engaging both side of the brain and fosters creativity and critical thinking. Life is about more than learning skills that will become outdated in a generation. It's about learning skills that will teach you to think, learn, and grow for a lifetime.

I love Nick very, very funny actor.❤❤❤😂😂😂
Offerman as Karl Weathers in Fargo (Season 2) is impossibly good. Also happens to be the second best season of TV ever, True Detective S1 being the best. As he negotiates with 'Bear' outside the police station, it's even better than his now famous entrance into the station in the first place. Just watch Fargo S2.
I liked what he said about what he would bring back in schools: Home Ec and Woodworking - the very basics to build from in every day life.
Unironically, I'd absolutely vote Nick Offerman for POTUS! 🤣🙏🇺🇲
Woodworkers and chefs unite!😂

We had Home Ec and Industrial Arts required for every 8th grade student when I was younger (early 80’s). I agree that every student should learn these basics.
Vote For Nick! He Solved The Bacon Shortage!!!!
Nick really could be the best president in American history. He has real bipartisan values, he demonstrated immediately that he has more knowledge than 99% of the sitting politicians, let alone the rest of the country, he doesn't seem to actually want the job, which makes his far less likely to cave to corruption, but if he had it, he would do it to the best of his ability, because that's the type of person he is. Offerman 2028!
I LOVE Nick Offerman! Fell for him in Parks and Rec❤
Deadpan humor genius.
'one-hitter'... Classic!
In a service based economy it makes sense to have lots of people who need to pay someone to do simple tasks I learned in public schools. Removing those classes from the curriculum was a deliberate decision to move away from an industrial and manufacturing economy.
A master of deadpan!
“Decency vs red”. Love Nick Offerman

Actually, Jimmy, I took Home Ec because I knew I’d be the only guy in the class. I do enjoy cooking as well, but I liked being the only guy in the class. All the other guys thought I was crazy, then they realized that I was a genius. The next year, a lot of guys signed up for Home Ec.
