Description

At last, the full story behind Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman's epic romance, including stories, portraits, and the occasional puzzle, all telling the smoldering tale that has fascinated Hollywood for over a decade. 

The year: 2000. The setting: Los Angeles. A gorgeous virtuoso of an actress had agreed to star in a random play, and a basement-dwelling scenic carpenter had said he would assay a supporting role in the selfsame pageant. At the first rehearsal, she surveyed her fellow cast members, as one does, determining if any of the men might qualify to provide her with a satisfying fling. Her gaze fell upon the carpenter, and like a bolt of lightning, the thought struck her: No dice. Moving on.  

Yet, unbeknownst to our protagonists, Cupid had merely set down his bow and picked up a rocket launcher. Then fired a love rocket (not a euphemism). The players were Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman, and the resulting romance, once it ignited, was... epic. Beyond epic. It resulted in a coupling that has endured to this day; a sizzling, perpetual tryst that has captivated the world with its kindness, athleticism, astonishingly low-brow humor, and true (fire emoji) passion.  

How did they do it? They came from completely different families, endured a significant age difference, and were separated by the gulf of several social strata. Megan loved books and art history; Nick loved hammers. But much more than these seemingly unsurpassable obstacles were the values they held in common: respect, decency, the ability to mention genitalia in almost any context, and an abiding obsession with the songs of Tom Waits.  

Eighteen years later, they're still very much in love, and have finally decided to reveal the philosophical mountains they have conquered, the lessons they've learned, and the myriad jigsaw puzzles they've completed, in an audiobook. Featuring anecdotes, hijinks, interviews, photos, and a veritable grab bag of tomfoolery, this is not only the intoxicating audiobook that Mullally's and Offerman's fans have been waiting for, it might just hold the solution to the greatest threat facing our modern world: the single life.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“[M]akes you feel privy to a world that’s uniquely theirs, as though you’re sitting beside them at the kitchen table while they solve their beloved jigsaw puzzles.” (The Washington Post)

“Both partners come across as likable, grounded, unpretentious, and flawed enough to be believable...Those hoping that Hollywood couples are just like the rest of us, only maybe a little bit nicer and richer, should be pleased.” (Booklist

"Readers are likely to enjoy the authors' company almost as much as they seem to enjoy each other's.” (Kirkus Reviews

Not interesting

A profound overuse of the terms “salt-of-the-earth” and “uncanny.”

Overall it’s just annoying. It reminded me of when people insist on showing you their family photo albums..... only this time it lasts for over six hours. Seriously, there's a chapter where they describe childhood photos of themselves. It would be interesting to nobody except the two authors.

It doesn't even really tell their love story. It just talks about their backgrounds for a very long time, they stroke each others egos, and then at the end they list a bunch of stuff they don't like. This book adds nothing to the world and isn't funny.

The Second Greatest Love Story Ever Told

I could write the Second Greatest Love Story Ever Told about my love for this book. It’s a wonderful story, narrated by the most charismatic couple around. Basically, if you have a problem with this book, that says more about the quality of you than the quality of the book.

Not worth the read.

As much as I love Nick Offerman & as much much as I enjoyed "paddle your own canoe" this book was garbage. Unless your a Nick & Megan stalker you'll get nothing from this. It's legit just them having a casual conversation & rambling on about themselves. I gained nothing from this. I hesitate to read celeb bios cause they're the worst & this proved me right. I thought they'd have real world advice but no full chapters of them describing photos of themselves, talking about puzzles & riffling off completely random likes & dislikes I actually had to skip ahead a few times because it was sooooo insanely pointless. I'm pretty disappointed.

All I have to Offerman.

Thank you. My lady and I loved listening to this before bed. It often lead to a mouthful of puss. Kinda hard to complain......

Highly entertaining

Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman are sincere, entertaining, and at times hilarious as they allow the audience to listen to their bantering about their lives and love. Their chemistry is palpable, and it's obvious that they had a great time working on this project together.

Probably my favorite couple ever

Very enjoyable, I adore Megan and Nick, loved the listening experience. I think I'll still buy the book but I HAD to hear them read this themselves. Thank you Megan and Nick!

big ol meh

I loved Paddle Your Own Canoe and Gumption. This did not live up to it's predecessors. There were far too many "umm"s for any audiobook.
