The Warm-Up
Welcome to a new installment of Hardly Focused! Jack Gill, Mike Tarara, and Nate Fillers kick off this episode by discussing the 13th anniversary of this very podcast (and 2nd anniversary under the name “Hardly Focused.”) Nate also tells Jack and Mike about his encounter with up-and-coming comedian Glen “Big Baby” Davis, and how Davis’ performance almost didn’t happen.
Will Smith versus Chris Rock – Dissecting the “Slap ‘Heard Round the World”
In this segment, Jack, Mike, and Nate discuss “the slap heard ’round the world” at the 94th Academy Awards, where Will Smith publicly reacted to a joke uttered by presenter Chris Rock. A comedian himself, Nate has a lot of thoughts on how jokes and actions can affect one’s career.
Remembering Taylor Hawkins
Jack, Mike, and Nate discuss the sudden and tragic loss of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins. The group questions if Foo Fighters will continue on without Taylor, or disband a la Led Zeppelin. Also questioned – If Dave Grohl continued the band under a new name, would they achieve the same degree of fame based on name recognition?
The Wrap-Up
Wrapping up this episode of Hardly Focused, Jack features for Mike and Nate audio and video from Paul Rudd’s guest appearance on Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. “Eric!”
