  • “How Fucking Dumb Are You?” feat. Gorilla Glue

    Gorilla Glue is the topic in this edition of “How Fucking Dumb Are You?” Thank God that impeachment is over, else we’d have nothing to talk about!

    A woman is out of surgery after using Gorilla Glue spray on her hair in lieu of actual product. Meanwhile, a Louisiana man attempts to downplay the severity of the previous story by sticking to his face a Solo cup covered in liquid Gorilla Glue. Mensa candidates, the both of them!

  • 491: Toddler Cage Match

    Part One: Sports, A Cannibal, and Marilyn Manson

    Jack, Mike, and Nate here for this installment of Hardly Focused! Jack kicks off this episode by discussing with Mike and Nate – gasp – sports! By the time you listen to this episode, a victor will have been declared in Super Bowl LV; nevertheless, enjoy everyone’s predictions.

    Elsewhere, Jack introduces a follow-up topic from Episode 490 (while simultaneously announcing the semi-regular return of The Acc and Jack Show!) Actor Armie Hammer and musician Marilyn Manson have been called out for gross, abusive behavior, effectively “canceling” the two. During this discussion, Jack gets Mike and Nate’s respective opinions on the ongoing era of “cancel culture.”

    Part Two: Bad TV Edits of Films, and an Epic Shutdown on Twitch

    Jack presents a clip from John Singleton’s 2001 film Baby Boy, starring Tyrese Gibson. This happens to be the “edited for television” version that airs on BET. The edited dialogue also happens to turn the film from a crime/drama into an unintentional comedy.

    In other news, Jack has another video to share for Mike and Nate; this one of Twitch streamer negaoryx absolutely destroying a troll’s life after they made a bad, sexist joke. Jack thinks streamers should just ignore comments, while Mike notes male streamers won’t face the same level of harassment.

  • 490: Consequences

    Chris Acciardi and Jack Gill here for another installment of The Acc and Jack Show. You may remember, before Hardly Focused and Talk Radio Meltdown, Acc and Jack co-hosted a podcast – before podcasts were cool! One day they’ll explain what “the balance beam” clip in the intro is from.

    The first segment of this podcast discusses “cancel culture.” Musician Morgan Wallen is in the news for being caught on camera using a racial slur. Jack condemns Wallen’s actions, but questions if society is generally overreacting. Acc weighs in, saying reactions to these instances are appropriate given the severity of the occurrence in question.

    Elsewhere, Acc and Jack discuss US congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene, whom Jack refers to as “Captain Wacky.” Covered in this segment are Taylor-Greene’s wild conspiracy theories, and her committees potentially being removed. Also mentioned are other politicians who have been reprimanded for similarly controversial statements.

  • 489: Reince Your Priebus

    Part One: Biden Won’t Be Tweeting at 1AM

    Welcome to Hardly Focused, aka The Jack and Mike Show! Or The Mike and Jack Show. Whatever you want to call it, it’s just the two of them for this one.

    To the surprise of nobody, Mike is very happy that Donald Trump is finally out of office. He’s also hopeful that Trump will be convicted, and tossed out of Mar-a-Lago. Jack points out that Trump’s youngest, Barron, apparently speaks with an Eastern European accent. He also points out that he feels ashamed for having once found Ivanka Trump attractive.

    Elsewhere, Bernie Sanders is once again a meme. Enjoy it while you can, it won’t be funny for very long!

    Part Two: Joe Exotic Doesn’t Get His Pardon

    Jack begins this segment by discussing the “Diet Coke” button that ex-President Trump had in the Oval Office. Mike reminds the room that Trump drinks upwards of 12 Diet Cokes per day. As of writing, Biden had this button removed entirely.

    In somewhat related news, Tiger King Joe Exotic is disappointed to have not been pardoned by Trump. Exotic claims it’s because he’s “too gay.” That’s not stopping him from hoping President Biden will give him a break.

    Jack mentions that he needs new shows to watch, having considered re-watching Tiger King. This leads Jack and Mike to discuss the upcoming episodes of Saturday Night Live. Maybe John Krasinski will finally catch a break!

    Part Three: We Stopped Serving Breakfast at 11:30

    Jack begins this segment by asking Mike if people pilfer through his recycling. It’s a common practice where Jack lives. Jack then explains what “grocery shopping” is in regards to local radio host Howie Carr’s penchant for stealing office supplies.

    On that note, Jack features three stories for “How Fucking Dumb Are You?”

    • A woman from Sussex is under fire for calling the police when she missed McDonald’s breakfast. Jack has the audio of the call! You won’t want to miss this one.
    • Waffle House employees are fired for pouring food on an inebriated customer, and filming it.
    • A woman from Pennsylvania tries to steal an ambulance after robbing a convenience store, and realizes she doesn’t know how to drive it.
    • Peace to Larry and Mira.

      • 488: Good Riddance

        Welcome to a special episode of The Acc and Jack Show! On this fine Inauguration Day in the Union, Chris Acciardi and Jack Gill dust off their old radio program to chat about President Joe Biden and the mess he has to clean up. Some of the topics discussed in this podcast include:

        • Donald Trump is not a “former President.” He is simply an “ex-President.”
        • Can Joe Biden successfully do a 180-degree turn and reverse Trump’s most controversial actions?
        • Biden urges unity and bipartisanship, which could potentially backfire.
        • Ex-President Trump wants to form “The Patriot Party.”
        • Also, poor Joe Exotic did not receive his Presidential pardon. So much for having a limo wait all day in front of the prison complex in which he’s housed.

          (Oh, at one point Acc’s audio briefly and randomly cuts out. I left that in the recording and video; it’s 30 seconds total of us correcting and getting back on track. It happens around 7:30 into the recording, in case you want to skip over. – Jack.)
