Part One: Candlepin or Bust!


Jack, Mike, and Nate here for this installment of Hardly Focused! Don’t forget, this fine program can be heard on ALL the podcast apps – Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more. Just search for “Hardly Focused!”


To the shock of everyone in the studio, prior to recording Jack was watching the Denver Broncos crush the New England Patriots. Jack admits the only sport he’s into is bowling. This leads Jack and Mike to discuss candlepin bowling, a type of bowling found largely in New England.


Hey Boston-folk – remember Candlepin Bowling on Channel 5? Saturday mornings used to be great.


Part Two: Mike the Doomscroller


Election Day in the union is just weeks away! Jack fires off this segment by discussing the “new” episode of the West Wing, which is filled with “get out and vote” messaging. Find “A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote” on HBO Max!


On that note, the group discusses the recent, rivalling Town Halls between Grandpa Joe Biden and Premier Ronald Thump. They speculate Tramp is fuming over losing the ratings battle to Biden, despite having his Town Hall broadcast on three networks. Our “president” also fails at trolling his Twitter followers.


Meanwhile, Mike schools the room on “doom scrolling.” Don’t know what that is? During this heavily political climate, simply open Twitter or Facebook and scroll – boom, doom scrolling.


Part Three: Air Drums and Headphones


Jack begins this segment with the intention of shifting gears away from politics. Heading to Baton Rogue, a man is facing obscenity charges after being caught masturbating in his truck. His defense? “Air drumming.”


Appropriately, this topic leads Jack to divulge the awkward first time he bought condoms. Nate also has an awkward “first time buying” story, and it has absolutely nothing to do with sex. Nate = 1, Jack = 0.


Wrapping up this episode, Jack features audio of Paulette Dale, the woman who complimented Danny Tramp’s smile during his Town Hall. Shockingly, despite her compliments, Dale is voting for Biden in this election. Mike hypothesizes that she tried to troll him, and botched the delivery.


Back up in your ass with the resurrection.
