Episode 478: A Rare Photo of Sean Connery, Signed by Roger Moore
Part One: Suck It, Trebek
Welcome to another installment of Hardly Focused! Acc, Jack, and Nate with you in the days leading up to the union’s Election Day. It’s also the day after Halloween, meaning Nate can enjoy candy without needing to take off the wrapper.
The world mourns the loss of actor Sean Connery. Jack argues that, having passed at age 90, Sir Sean lived a full life. Acc reveals to the room that Connery’s final acting credit is an animated film called “Sir Billi,” the quality of which Jack equates to commercials for The General.
Elsewhere, as the nostalgia train keeps chugging, a reboot of Tiny Toon Adventures is on the horizon. Animaniacs is great and all, but Jack prefers Tiny Toons over the Warner brothers (and sister Dot.) That doesn’t mean most millennials don’t have a Pavlovian response to hearing the opening notes of the Tiny Toons theme song.

Part Two: Election Day
It’s certainly a time to be an American. Election Day is around the corner, and it’s arguably the most important election in the union’s history. Here’s to hoping Nate can get his mail-in ballot sorted in time!
Acc, Jack, and Nate discuss the upcoming election, and how it meshes with the pandemic and general civil unrest. Jack fears that, no matter the outcome, further unrest is likely to occur. But hey, at least Trump can list on his accomplishments that he ended the pandemic, right? Oh, wait.
