The Disconnect
What was once The Preemo Podcast and Pure Speculation have now been combined to bring you the best of both worlds. Welcome to the Disconnect. Every week, brothers and co-workers Zack Hayes and Phil Hayes take this opportunity to take a break from the stress of the daily work grind that comes from today's world as we attempt to Disconnect from the outside noise. We'll explore whatever comes to mind. Topics will vary (especially when Phil picks the theme) but regardless of the discussion, we hope you enjoy and take this time to Disconnect.Podcasts
