494: Knights of Bostonia
Part One: Easing COVID Restrictions, and Gender Neutral Potatoes
Jack and Nate are presenting this installment of Hardly Focused! Nate kicks off the episode by discussing his venture into TikTok, saying it’s working out better than his YouTube channel. He’s still on YouTube, and you can find him on the Sbassbear Comedy channel.
Around the world, it was a busy week for sure. Jack and Nate discuss the CDC warning that Massachusetts is easing COVID restrictions too soon. Also in the news; “Potato Head,” formerly Mr. and Mrs., now gender neutral. Jack, while understanding why it’s done, expresses his discontent for people calling out their preferred gender pronouns. This leads him and Nate to further discuss cancel culture – a popular topic on this show – and how it continues to be ridiculous.
Part Two: The Surgeon versus The Judge, and The Weather versus The Idiot
Jack begins this segment by turning attention to the Hardly Shuffled playlist on Spotify. Need new music? Follow the show’s playlist today; it’s updated regularly!
In more Zoom mishap news, Jack features audio and video of a doctor who attempted to join his court hearing while performing surgery. Needless to say, the hospital for which he works is not pleased.
Elsewhere, Nate brings to the table news that people seriously believe “fake snow” exists. This gets him and Jack discussing weather, namely David Lynch‘s daily weather updates. Also discussed – Frankie the Weatherman, the only meteorologist you should trust!
RIP Daft Punk.
