Shill: "A person who publicizes or praises something or someone for reasons of self-interest, personal profit, or friendship or loyalty."
That sounds suspiciously like someone who was recently banned from Twitter... who could it possibly be?! On this episode of Homespun Yak, the guys try to piece together the events that ultimately resulted in protesters storming the United States Capitol. Were these people inspired by President Trump to forcefully "take their country back"? If so, what are the legal and prosecutorial ramifications for the sitting President once his term comes to an end on January 20th?
Next, the guys pivot to discuss the latest JRE Podcast with Dr Mark Gordon and Andrew Marr who both promote awareness and treatment for head-induced traumas that result in harmful brain inflammation. It's a fascinating discussion about how a reduction in inflammation throughout the body can often result in a better quality of life overall. However noble and intriguing this research and work is, Nic has some credible doubt surrounding the quality of research they have done in attaining some of their conclusions. Kyle's view is more along the lines of, "if I can hit a PR on bench once a week, I'll take the supplements."
Finally on "Sports Segment", the guys rant about the NFL WILD Card Weekend and give their predictions on the outcomes of next week's match-ups! On the "QB Love and Hate" portion of the segment, Nic gives us an in-depth breakdown on Lamar Jackson while Kyle gives his opinion on the future of #sad Big Ben. Can 43 year old Tom Brady lead the TOMpa Bay Bucs to another glorious Super Bowl title in their home stadium?!

"I can see myself now", Nic said with a smile. "My grandchildren gather round the hearth as I settle into my recliner. Their wide eyes gaze upon me with a sincere yet innocent look of pure anticipation. They've heard the tale before a hundred times or more, but they never tire of it. I suppose it's like the story of Christmas in that way. My youngest grandchild, Ezekiel, chimes in half way through the story of Tom's infamous battle with Drew Brees during the second round of the 2021 playoffs by saying, 'Grampy is that why you have the number 12 tattooed on your arm?' Instinctively I glance down at my arm and slowly pull back my sleeve revealing the bold red 12 that has been forever stamped on my body since that fateful February Day in 2021. Suddenly the floodgates are opened as tears stream down my face in remembrance of a glorious time gone by. For in this moment I am Noah at sea. 'Tonight children, my heart can endure no more', I say as my daughter ushers the grandchildren to their bedrooms. Though they are disappointed that I was unable to complete the epic story, they know in due time I will regain my strength and inspire them once more with the legendary Tale of Tom. My heart will go on. It must..."
