Ryan Reynolds Announces New Snapchat Show 'Ryan Doesn't Know'

Irrepressible ham and Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds will bring his goofs and groans to a new Snapchat series called Ryan Doesn’t Know . The 12-episode show will feature Reynolds learning new skills—or at least attempting to—from experts in a variety of crafts. “You could fill a gymnasium with the things I don’t know,” Reynolds says in the recently dropped trailer. “In the hopes of becoming a less boring husband and father, I’m meeting up with talented new artists to learn a little about a lot of new things.” After some foolishness about how to properly shoot a video —not sideways, after all…and since it’s Snapchat the show will apparently be displayed vertically, not horizontally—the self-anointed “stuff learner” breezes through some of the distance learning he will do with the folks in the know for varies pursuits.

First Drive: Ford Bronco Sport

After she swiped my credit card, the cashier at the diner asked, “Is that your Bronco out there in the parking lot?” After I explained I was test-driving it, she told me about the two Broncos she’d previously owned (her ex-husband mistreated them both), and how badly she wanted the 2021 model (very, very badly). She’s not alone. The Bronco’s original run spanned the years between 1966 and 1996 , and after Ford announced the brand’s return in 2017, Bronco fever set in. The auction house Barrett-Jackson reported that over the next three years, the average sale price on old models jumped by 88 percent. One restored ’76 edition brought in $195,000. The Complete History of the Ford Bronco Read article Last year, Ford finally announced details on the new lineup, and three months later, more than 190,000 people had already spent $100 to reserve their spot in line to buy one. It’d be accurate to say that anticipation has been running high. So what does the new lineup look like? The...

Back-to-Back Sierra Storms Cripple Yosemite and Surrounding Towns

Weeks of unusually clear, warm weather turned blustery and frigid recently in Yosemite Valley and the Sierra foothills. It began with the Mono wind event that brought gusts up to 100 mph and toppled trees onto park facilities and private homes. Days later, an atmospheric river flowed in from the Pacific. The storm dropped, in some places, 10 feet of wet, heavy snow and caused further damage. There are no reports of injuries. “We have extensive damage in the park, millions and millions of dollars,” Scott Gediman told the Mercury News . Calls to Gediman by Men’s Journal were not returned.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Yosemite National Park (@yosemitenps) The storm, damage-wise, is being compared to the historic flood of 1997 that caused $200 million in damages. That flood brought the highest water to the Park in 80 years, damaged campgrounds and employee housing, and caused the Park to be evacuated. On January 18 and...

Danny MacAskill's Insane MTB Descent on The Slabs Would Make a Grown Man Cry

When Danny MacAskill , legendary Scottish trials bike rider (and all-around god on two wheels), says at the beginning of his new short film, The Slabs , that what he’s about to ride is “pretty scary,” then you know goddamn well that it’s going to be a truly epic descent .

Matthew McConaughey Is on a Mission to Just Keep Livin'

In the new year, Matthew McConaughey is looking beyond the pandemic—and movies—toward a much bigger picture. Could politics be his next frame?

Pulled out some congas, too. “Didn’t have anything the next day until, like, noon,” says the actor. “Went late, another cocktail, sure.” After the Magic Mike actor beat the drums —and the quarantine blues—for a bit, he says, he dialed up the volume of his speakers—“concert-size,” emphasis on the Z—played some tunes, and danced until sweat soaked the floor. “Got my cardi-ooo, heh, heh, heh…I woke up the next morning with my hands completely swollen. I’m on a proper-tee where I ain’t waking the neighbors…and I’m pretty sure no one called the cops.” So…you are not alone, reader. McConaughey is also going through it, dancing through the darkness, trying to make the best of a pandemic year when just keep livin’ —the actor’s most treasured piece of advice, seems of fresh, l...
