Part One: Nate’s Birthday, and Cam Newton’s New Contract

Jack, Mike and Nate here for a fun episode of Hardly Focused! It’s Nate’s birthday, and it’s also Pi Day. This episode begins with the group discussing which is better – cake or pie. Per the discussion, it’s ultimately decided that cheesecake is a “bastard pie.”

Meanwhile, a gust of wind outside throws Jack through a loop. Mike notes that the wind in general has been outrageous, especially in the New England area. This leads the group to discuss the movie Twister, and why it’s clearly the greatest film ever made (next to The Terminator, of course.)

In a shocking move, Jack asks Mike what he thinks about Cam Newton re-signing with the New England Patriots. Mike is concerned about the team’s overall defense, given Newton’s “meh” performance last season. Nate just hopes the Patriots slam dunk their way to the World Series.

Part Two: Adult Films and Dollar Bills

This segment kicks off with the group discussing pi, given it being March 14. Nate can recite pi to a surprising number of places. Jack, meanwhile, has difficulty with the basic concept of numbers.

Elsewhere, Jack is upset with PornHub’s current offerings. He believes the pandemic has greatly affected the adult entertainment industry. Unlike mom’s cooking, sometimes homemade just isn’t better!

Rounding out this episode, Jack features for Mike and Nate video from a now-defunct store called Dollar Bill’s Discount World. The video stars Dollar Bill, who clearly huffs something off-camera before showing off his wares. Jack wonders if Dollar Bill’s comments and actions would fly today’s PC environment, while Mike notes that his wife owned knockoff toys from Dollar Bill’s.
