The Disconnect

Every once and awhile you start a conversation and never know where its going to go...this is one of those episodes.

Are we on the brink of World War 3? With everything happening on the global stage right now, it sure feels like we're on the brink of something that will have major implications on society moving forward. And with the world having a front row seat for the devastation of war thanks to the widespread use of social media, we are waking up to its grim reality. Is this our chance to change as a global society or is this the beginning of the end?

Start planning your fallout shelter for this week's episode of The Disconnect with Zack and Phil Hayes.

Is your bank account safe? If you live in Canada and you supported the recent protests of Government sanctioned mandates, then the answer may not be as clear as you think. By implementing emergency powers never before acted upon, there is a major disruption of the consequences that come along to having your voice heard and your rights to peacefully protest.

The real issue stems from the origins of where the money originated from but this was used as disguise to hit the average protester where it hurt. Right in the pocket book. What would happen if America made similar actions on their citizens? Do we really think that if it happened with our neighbors to the North that it couldn't happen here?

It was brought to our attention that many youngsters today think the band Nirvana was an overrated band...Anyone growing up in the Grunge Era of the 90s knows that this statement is pure insanity. But it made us wonder, are there cultural icons from older generations that we view through a similar lens? Why is so much of our personality based on the music and pop culture we digest during our formative years? Are things always viewed more favorably through the rearview mirror?

We had to pull a Boomer into the conversation for a different generational perspective. Zack Hayes and Phil Hayes welcome their father, Clayton Hayes, to this week's episode of The Disconnect. 

Do we have a Mis-Information problem in our society or is it more of a matter of Information Overload? Our brains aren't equipped to handle so much content, charging full steam ahead at us 24/7. It should come as no surprise that we're questioning everything all the time. We now live in a world where facts don't matter because there is too much information to question what is actually true.

We're living in time where the messaging from our Government is "Just Trust Me Bro" and we shouldn't stand for it. But maybe we were better off during a time where we only had a newspaper and nightly news to analyze what was going on in the world. Maybe Ignorance is Bliss...

With the LA Rams defeating the San Francisco 49ers, they have solidified a trip to the Super Bowl. At the helm of this ship is former Detroit Lion QB, Matthew Stafford. After 12 years of NFL Purgatory, Stafford has a chance of winning it all in his first season out of Detroit. As a result, there are many Lions fans hopping on the Rams Bandwagon and will be rooting for Stafford to bring home the Lombardi Trophy.

Is this the closest Lions fans will come to a Super Bowl of their own? Maybe. Is the new found Fandom in a team from LA normal for Detroit Sports Enthusiast? Definitely not.

In this corner, spreading COVID-19 "misinformation", is Spotify's Golden Child...with the #1 Podcast in the World....Mr. Joe "Horse De-Wormer" Rogan!!

And his opponent, a "Young" 76 Year Old former Acoustic Activist turned Pfizer shill, with skin as thin as his hair...Mr. Neil "Sticks and Stones Will Break My Bones but Differing Opinions will Destroy Society" Young!!

Lets see how this one shakes out in this week's episode of The Disconnect.

Trains are being ransacked in California with little consequence for most offenders. But you probably haven't seen much on the topic from the usual TV news outlets.

As areas of the United States turn into safe havens for criminals, how long before we feel the effects in our own backyards? How close are we to a tipping point? Welcome to the Wild Wild West.

In the wake of the loss of one of TV's favorite dads, Zack and Phil look back at their favorite sitcom dads over the years. Their list might surprise you and they certainly don't agree on it all. We can learn a lot of what to do (and more importantly what not to do) as fathers as we discuss what made some of these characters so memorable.

Which TV dad do they compare themselves most to with their parenting styles? Find out in this week's episode of The Disconnect. RIP Danny Tanner.
