Hardly Focused

Ever the consummate speaker, Jack tries – and fails – to pronounce “Evangelion.” Regardless, he has high praise for the new Rick and Morty anime clip short. We need more of this!

Meanwhile, Comic Con 2020 goes virtual. Jack and Mike cover the best things presented thus far, including Bill and Ted Face the Music, Star Trek, and more.

Just Jack and Mike for this episode! Jack begins by sending well-wishes to his radio influence, Fred Toettcher. Here’s to hoping Fred finds peace.

Elsewhere, a number of celebrities no longer walk among us. Jack features audio from Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green, Gone with the Wind star Olivia de Havilland, and the great Regis Philbin.

Also, never forget that the original version of “Torn” is far superior to Natalie Imbruglia’s cover.

Part One: “The Rolling List of ‘Holy Shit’ v2.0”

Between segments, Jack learns that “Jeopardy” host Alex Trebek ate a ton of pot brownies at a party. Even better, he wasn’t seen for 3 days afterwards. Encase this man in carbonite!

Following up from the previous segment, Jack also has details about the Pizza Party in Massachusetts. It’s a political party, officially recognized by state officials. Jack is proudly a member, and hopes to one day run against Mike and his Pirate Party.

Back on-track, Jack and Mike discuss teenage riff-raff. These days, you’re cool if you’re underage and dress as a grandma to purchase alcohol. What has the plague done to our youth?!

This leads Jack to feature a segment from NerdWire, where old women try Fireball whiskey for the first time. These are the bags you’d want to party with.

Wrapping up, Jack proclaims his love for the game show “Supermarket Sweep.” For whatever reason, it’s trending on Netflix. Forget Yeezy – Vote David Ruprecht and Johnny Gilbert in 2020!

Good news, everyone! Kayne West is running for President!

Wait, sorry, he’s not running.

Hold on, he’s still running.

What the hell?

Welcome to Hardly Focused! Jack and Mike with you for this episode. A certain Fro-host was on the bill for this podcast, but he called it an early night.

This episode begins with sad news. Grant Imahara of “Mythbusters” fame, passes on at 49 years old. Jack features audio from the Discovery Channel, honoring Grant and his contributions to both science and entertainment.

Elsewhere, “that bitch” Carole Baskin remains in the news. She’s on Cameo, and for $300 she will record for you her best 50 Cent impression! Well worth every penny… or not.

Jack and Mike discuss celebrities – male and female – who have not aged gracefully in recent years. Jack also reminds Mike of the McGangbang, which recently went viral again after a decade.

Another day, another public freakout. Jack plays audio of a woman in a Hollywood Trader Joe’s, losing her mind over being asked to wear a face mask. Said woman later spoke to the news and tries to defend herself; keyword is “tries.”

Jeff Gargas is the COO and Co-Founder of TeachBetter.com, and co-host of the Teach Better Talk Podcast. Jack talks to Jeff about how educators are adapting to teaching from home during the pandemic. Jack and Jeff also discuss the “fear of failure” and how to overcome it.
