  • 549: I’m Like a Lawyer with the Way I’m Always Trying to Get You Off (Me and You)

    Foreplay

    Welcome to a new installment of Hardly Focused! Chris Froment and Jack Gill are joined by Aadam Clegg, whose voice is featured in every episode of this podcast providing the “imaging.” Also very important to note, this is the first episode since March 2020 to include all 3 co-hosts live in the studio together!

    Kicking off this episode, the crew discuss:

    • “COVID parties,” and what type of rippers Joe Biden might throw
    • Fro’s fancy new Jeep, and his experience buying through Carvana

      • Aadam Clegg the Music Man

      Voice guy Aadam fronts two bands, Agador and Chase the Past, the latter of which has a show coming up at Ralph’s Diner outside in Worcester, Mass.! Aadam and Jack school Fro on the history of early-to-mid 2000s pop punk music, including how most bands of that era were interwoven. Jack also reminds Fro that one of the queens of the genre – Hayley Williams – is a Left 4 Dead fan.

      Selling Out and Supergroups

      Aadam, Fro, and Jack continue to discuss music, noting how the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games serve as a source of discovery. Fro and Aadam talk about the types of cover bands they would lead, while Jack and Aadam debate the makings of a good supergroup.

                In the Maine town of Millinocket, an insurance agency sparks outrage after a sign was posted in its window bearing a hate-filled message about Juneteenth.
