Fun fact: Nick Offerman bought a Croft on Isla while he was there filming. He talked about it in his one man show in Glasgow last year. He loves it there
@@ionanavarromcintosh3125 ...money. Offerman is an internationally renowned actor and they tend to be very well paid freelancers. He was supposedly paid "only" $30K per episode of Parks and Rec, which comes to $3.78mil over 6 years or about $630K/year. Before he was an actor he was an accomplished professional woodworker, and owns a small furniture making company so probably was quite secure even before he became famous. While he isn't Swanson he does seem to be a sensible guy by Hollywood standards so I would imagine he doesn't waste large sums on fripperies and by his middle 40s had significant savings and assets. Island crofts aren't very expensive by British property standards because they're remote, not very productive and have significant usage limitations in order to protect the land and heritage. Some can be had for less than what he was paid for a single episode. It may have been as simple as writing a cheque.
@@lordsummerisle87 The show probably played with the situation a bit, but Offerman probably approached buying a property the exact same way as his character did... Offer anyone a check with the right amount on it and you can buy any house out there.
@@Bluntz1289 In that case we maybe asking you and your great nation to send us arms and munitions in the up coming independence revolution, please and thank you.
My wife and daughter call me Ron and giggle behind my back. After numerous moments like this and a fair few "what the hells" they directed me here. I now proudly understand.
Funnily enough, Nick Offerman teamed up with Lagavulin to make a special whisky. It is aged in Guinness casks. I have had many MANY different peaty, rich, and smokey whiskies. Nothing in the price range is remotely close. It is outstanding.
here it is! it's also the official one so it shouldn't be taken down like the other vid linked. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-frbsZ8TGsX8.html
I had to stop this when he said "i have no idea what im in pursuit of", and watch kid cudi's pursuit of happiness. I do believe that is the goal of this treasure hunt.. Leslie is the best friend anyone could ever have.
Fun fact, Ron’s last name Swanson has a Scottish origin. It makes a bit of sense as to why the only part of Europe ron can tolerate is the Scottish isles
That song on the bagpipes in the background is the march of Cameron men the queens own highlanders a truly heavenly tune and I'm proud to say my uncle was one may he rest in peace.
I've been to the distillery in person, it's every bit as amazing as the show would have you think and more. they also still have a few of the nick offerman edition bottles in stock, delicious stuff
Nick, or Ron, your a man after my own heart, Lagavulin and other distillery locations around my native land require simply 2 things, a glass and silence. Cheers and slange!
Yeah Glasgow central is featured in the actual episode, but this is Preston. Obviously there are a few tiny inaccuracies- but the train/walk/boat trip from Glasgow to Islay is probably accurate
Don't get me wrong I get that this is a joke, but I'm almost positive Washington state has free healthcare. Similar to California's Medi-Cal which I used until I voluntarily ditched it for private insurance once I could afford it. I don't understand this whole "the us doesn't have free healthcare" when it does, and has for many years. It's just not federal because people don't want ultra-centralization when there are 50 different states with differing voters and population/demographics.
@Username It is though. Checkups, ambulances, surgeries, etc are almost all free and you don't even need any insurance or benefits to receive them. The only cause for concern is the waiting time and that's it really. The rest of the UK has a slightly different healthcare system.
@Username Yes? I fail to see how that's a bad thing. High taxes doesn't mean you make less money, because it'll still make it's way back to you in the form of "free" public services. The only people this stuff will negatively affect is those that don't need public transportation or healthcare or anything like that IE; the rich.
@@jamesmccomb9525 people like you eventually move to red states . And then proceed to vote for the same awful policies that made you move to begin with.
Socialist hellscape, remember. Epic amounts of paperwork is required to build a house, particularly if it’s in an area of scientific or historic interest - which covers a lot of Scotland. For several years, my mother’s job was to stand next to anyone digging a hole, just in case they uncovered some archaeology, at which point she would tell them to stop and either go home, or dig somewhere else.
There are 4 places in the world where I had the exact same attitude to buying a house with out planning further. Montana, Texas, Scotland and and Ireland. Still regret that I was reasonable. But I also don't have a large amount of gold
They are saying Slainte Baetha,(Slawn-cha ba-ha) - its Gaelic. Its a mix of the two sayings, Uisce baetha, which is the Irish for whiskey, it means Holy water, and slainte means to good health. Mixing the two together might mean " To good healthy holy water "
Is this from a DVD extras or something? Just watched this episode and most of this wasn't in the London episodes? (at least not the version of them on Netflix?)
I thought Scotland’s biggest flex was the inhabitants were so scary, the Romans built a wall between Scotland and England, and said, “This is as far north as we go.”
There was a Scottish princess who saw a man she fancied, captured him, and rode off with him. And that's how Robert the Bruce was made. Ron might want to wait until his daughters are older to tell them that story.
