Homespun YakWeekend at Biden'sThe Homespun Yak returns this week to discuss the incredibly smooth and extraordinarily peaceful final exit of American forces and civilians from Afghanistan. The guys fondly reminisce on the past 20 years of their lives and talk of the good times - back when America responded to acts of terrorism by violently overthrowing the governments of foreign nations, drone striking villages to oblivion and forcibly spreading the ideals of democracy to those living in hunter gatherer societies. Are the good times truly over for good? America's oldest living man (Joe Biden) seems to think so...
Not to worry...

Homespun YakAfghanistan and Messi MovesOh hi there, it's been a few weeks - we've been busy improving the podcast in absolutely no way. We've actually been traveling and making personal moves, but we're back (this week we can promise, at least). In this episode, we catch up with Kyle before ranting a bit on the new CoVID policies (when will this end? WHEN?), before taking a bit more of a serious turn into the Afghanistan situation and how it was handled. Finally, we discuss sports - Messi moving to PSG, NBA, NFL, and the usual finishing thoughts on sports. Hit us up on...
2021-08-171h 32Homespun YakWe Don't Much Care for The Olympics or ESPNIn this recent episode of the HSY, the broskis discuss the dramatic ending to the Euro Cup Final and the different reactions across the globe. Nic in particular was very distraught by the result LOL.Â
The guys then turn towards the next major sporting event around the corner that will inevitably capture the eyes of a global audience- The Tokyo Olympics. The absurdity of banning Sha'Carri Richardson for a positive THC test is compared to the Olympics allowing a Trans Woman to compete with Biological Women in the weightlifting competition. The Olympics would rather secure sponsorships through v...
2021-07-141h 14Homespun YakEuro Cup Reactions (France, Denmark, England, and More), and the Women's National Team "LFG"In this episode, the guys spend a good amount of time discussing the recent loss by France to Switzerland, as well as the Spanish victory over Croatia, along with many other games as Kyle makes predictions on the future of the tournament. There's maybe 2 minutes of NBA talk before Nic describes his initial thoughts on the new documentary "LFG" describing women's struggle for equal pay on the National Soccer Team, before they both discuss the challenges ahead of a just fight therein.Â
2021-06-291h 21Homespun YakNever Underestimate the Impact of TestosteroneOf course the guys kick things off with a short recap of how the first round of the Euros are playing out. Kyle describes how he felt seeing Christian Eriksen collapse on the field from cardiac arrest in Denmark's match against Finland and the guys briefly discuss whether or not ESPN should have had cameras on the moment as it transpired. Finally, to round out the sports segment, they take a look at where things stands in regards to the NBA playoffs and how the Brooklyn Nets went from clear cut favorites to potentially packing their bags early due...
2021-06-151h 17Homespun YakThe Euro Cup and the Drug against Alzheimer'sIn this episode, the guys start off running into the soccer world as Kyle breaks down the looming Euro Cup that begins Friday. Will France be victorious through the World Cup into the Euro, or will the weaselly English take the European crown? What group is the group of death? Kyle breaks it all down and Nic pretends to know what a soccer ball looks like. Then, the guys enter hot water again as they discuss a specific trans athlete competing in the Olympics - should it be allowed? Should government get involved?
Finally, Kyle mentions a...

2021-05-201h 32Homespun YakNic published a Study, The End of the Super League, and the Mortal Kombat DisasterHi folks, in this episode, the guys begin discussing the CoVID regulations still in place that make no sense, before briefly discussing the conclusion (or hibernation?) of the Super League Kyle was oh so passionately against last episode. Then, the guys discuss Nic's first autophagy study published after over a year's worth of work, before sliding into the conversation of "Fake Nattys" in the fitness industry. Finally, the podcast rounds out by discussing two or three movies that were highly anticipated and... well, were a bit of duds (for the most part), with a SPOILER run down on the...
2021-04-281h 33Homespun YakEuropean Super League - The End of the Beautiful Game?In this episode, Kyle gives his passionate opinion on the earth-shattering news of the newly formed European "Super League". Essentially the owners of 12 top-tier European Football teams came together under the cloak of darkness (maybe at Bohemian Grove - not yet confirmed) to form a super league which would eradicate their debts incurred during the pandemic and double their overall values as individual clubs almost instantaneously. They did this without consulting the fans, staff, coaches, or players of their own teams! The hundred plus years of rich tradition and passion these clubs have inspired in generations of working class...
2021-04-201h 11Homespun YakOur Reaction to our Flat Earth PodcastIn this episode, the guys begin by discussing their thoughts on the latest podcast with special guest Flat Earth Dave. After a detailed discussion, the guys discuss a bit on sports - specifically soccer and why the United States can't seem to compete. The discussion also touches on "should women be paid equally to men on the US National Team?", and who better to discuss it than two dudes. :) There's a bunch more in there (like China's dominance on the economy, CoVID vaccine symptoms, and more), but Nic has been working since 5am and he's tired, and as he's...
2021-03-311h 29Homespun YakLeBron vs Zlatan, Rangers over Celtic, and new CDC Guidelines that make NO SENSEHi, hello, and welcome back - in this episode, the guys start off with news on Flat Earth Dave, before quickly going into the side effects of their recent CoVID vaccines which leads to a brief (incredulous) discussion of nonsensical CDC guidelines on new liberties allowed the public. Then, the guys dive into a series of different soccer related stories from the Rangers upset over bitter rivals Celtic to Zlatan's criticism of LeBron, before a quick reaction by Kyle on the German National Team's coach stepping down soon. I'm sure (as narrator), I'm missing a few topics mized in...

Kidding folks, but in this episode Nic gives us a really great picture of how the different vaccines work to protect us from the coronavirus and potentially any variants that will inevitably rear their ugly heads as it mutates across the globe. In regards to vaccinations ramping up across the country for the general population, Kyle predicts we will soon see a wave of self-congratulatory social media posts the likes of which we only see e...

How to Keep the Passion in Relationships, and the D'Elia DilemmaIn this episode, Kyle gets a few words off his chest related to the pandemic (enough is enough!), before the guys somehow end up discussing the Chris D'Elia apology before being swept away in the dating lives of Leonardo DiCaprio and Derek Jeter of the Austin A's. Then, Nic touches on a book covering the concept of passion and security in relationships - can we keep the "spark", and does it require drastic measures? The guys finish up talking the "Ya ya Sisterhood", because... of course they would end up here? Tune in and go for the wild ride...

2021-02-191h 22Homespun YakGorillaz Glue in Hairy Business, High School Memories, and the TB12 Super BowlIn this episode, the guys begin reminiscing about some bitter high school memories spanning from meditation to senior projects to hair styles before Nic mentions an absurd story where a woman used Gorilla glue on her hair? Why, though? Finally, the guys couldn't leave this episode without touching on the incredible abilities of our lord and savior - Tom Brady, in the Super Bowl. Also, what would you do witht he money if you were given 600 million dollars over 4 years? Donate it? If so, how? Let us know on the Instagrams (@homespunyak)!
2021-02-101h 19Homespun YakThe Power of No, and the Gamestop Short StockIn this episode, we keep things pretty simple - we talk two subjects: What is the worth of anger and the ability to say "no", and obviously how could we go about our week without discussing Wall street. The guys kick off with a lengthy discussion of "No More Mr. Nice Guy", a book that Nic is getting into, and then that transforms into the power of "No" (when did "no" become so offensive?). After a good long time of that discussion, Kyle brings us up to speed on the Gamestop short stock scandal. Tune in and say "yes". :)
2021-02-031h 26Homespun YakThe Pappy Van Winkle HeistOn this episode of the Homespun Yak, the guys start out by discussing some relevant news - The Inauguration of Joseph ROBINETTE Biden Jr. It's been only 1 week since he was sworn in, yet he is already "on notice!" for not "doing enough" for social justice and change according to some "very reasonable" folks in the media. It just highlights the fact that no matter who sits in the Oval Office, their actions and words will never satisfy all.
The dudes then move on to their recent Birthdays which are 10 days apart in the month of January...
2021-01-271h 12Homespun YakThe 35 Dollar Ounce.In this episode, the guys start off discussing bourbon based on an event Kyle attended recently (CoVID SAFE, CALM DOWN!) where he had the immense pleasure of being served an ounce of bourbon, but not just any bourbon... Pappy Van Winkle's 15 year Bourbon. Kyle gives us a history lesson on why this particular bourbon is top shelf, what it tasted like, and what other people liken it to. Then, the guys discuss the bourbon's they're currently drinking - hint: it's not as nice as Pappy's.
In the next segment, the guys catch up on the NFL playoffs...

If so, what are the legal and prosecutorial ramifications for the sitting President once his term comes to an end on January 20th?Â

Kyle recounts times wherein he's running and loses track of time as his mind builds scenarios that get him angry, a shared experience Nic understands. Then, Nic tells a short story of a rather "odd" gym encounter he had the morning of the podcast recording - how would you react in that situation? Finally, the guys touch on...

Eventually, the guys turn their attention to Maradona's passing and Kyle expounds on his impact in soccer, as well as where Messi stacks against the legend. They also move into a quick discussion back to the mid 2000s where Michael Vick was imprisoned for dog fighting - do you forgive him?

In this week's informative episode, Nic walks us through what we currently know about the situation for the Uighur population in the Xinjiang Province of China.

Finally, they discuss if online dating is detrimental to young men, or is it a hidden benefit? Tune in and let us know your thoughts!

2020-07-131h 01Homespun YakLet 1918 tell you the meaning of "Freedom"... (what were Nic's CoVID-19 test results?)The podcast is back for yet another episode wherein the guys kick if off discussing if Nic has tested positive for CoVID-19, and then the guys get into the extreme loss of freedoms in 1918 with the "Great Influenza", how does it compare to today? Not even close, let us tell you. Then, we briefly discuss the new Mahomes' contract for over 400 millions dollars (pshh... that's it?), before stepping into the discussion on the newest developments on the Epstein case before sliding into home with famous public figures' ability to withstand public criticism for bad past choices and their ability...

Nic's recent exposure to someone exhibiting symptoms of Covid-19 along with his creeping dry cough and "covid voice" are making him wonder if he has potentially caught the virus... We certainly hope that is not the case, but if so we will at least be able to get a day by day analysis of his experience for the listeners! The guys then speak depressingly on the unfortunate situation of choosing between "man-baby Trump" and "cognitive-decline Joe" for the upcoming November election and how cases of Covid-19 continue to sharply rise while d...

Then, Kyle brings up the death of Sir Ian Holm at the age of 88 and his impact on Kyle during the Fellowship of the Ring, which drives the conversation into movie series and show series, and how awful they can get.

2020-06-151h 59Homespun YakJeffrey Epstein "Filthy Rich" StoryHi everyone, today's podcast episode starts off discussing a bit of social media discourse on racism and the current situation with the George Floyd related protests and riots around the Black Lives Matter movement. However, the real "bread and butter" of this episode is centered around a documentary Kyle and Nic watched that goes into the depths of the Jeffrey Epstein (you remember him, right? He was a philanthropist, loving citiz... nope, he was the guy that sexually assaulted hundreds of women and was "in bed" with many famous people, including many politicians and then mysteriously committed suicide) story...

This week on the Homespun Yak, the guys discuss a plethora of current events happening in the good ol US of A. One of the main topics of discussion in the political sphere is Democratic candidate Joe Biden's allegation of sexual assault when he was a Senator in the 80's. Will this impact the momentum of his campaign and will he be treated different or similar to Trump when sexual assault allegations were thrown against him before the last Presidential election?

It's incredibly fascinating (and often difficult) to hear two powerful minds in different fields (psychology and neuroscience) discuss and explore their philosophies within religion and society to a live audience. Much can be learned by practicing civil and open conversations in our own lives, even with folks we don't always see eye to eye with. Anyway! Kyle then speaks about a few potential sponsors/friends of The...

However, after some discussion on its virulence and a bit on the first tragic coronavirus (SARS-CoV), they swing over to some odd questions (what 3 questions would you as YOUR cat?), before Nic detailing a battle he had on Age of Empires II. Then, a bit of discussion on the new RTX line of graphics cards being put into the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 almost rounds out the episode, but Kyle introduces a story...
2020-04-141h 06Homespun YakThe Episode 40 ExtravaganzaWell folks you asked for a 2 hour podcast and by golly did the guys ever deliver. Nearly 2 hours on the dot. A wide array of topics were discussed, a plethora of questions were brought up, and many 'what if' scenarios were proposed. The mandatory Covid-19 segment included tips and information on the efficacy of certain types of face masks from Nic's research on the subject. This quickly turned into a discussion on how folks are interacting with one another in grocery stores and on greenways and how this could change (or stay the same) even after all this begins...

After some time discussing, Nic goes on a bit about intermittent fasting, and then they jump into the economic stimulus plan proposed and ratified by the U.S. government for 2.2 trillion dollars (we make that in a week), and how much it will actually help the individual. Finally, they also touch on the craziness of "The Tiger King". Tune in and forget about viruses (at least, after the...

We manage to slide in thin slices of optimism when discussing what's been on the forefront of the everyone's mind - the great toilet paper crisis of 2020. In all seriousness though, we are all sailing through uncharted waters and we can't exactly predict what lies ahead over the horizon. In spite of this, we discuss some of the statistics we do know currently regarding at risk age groups, debunk conspiracy theorists, and discuss how humans have dealt with pandemics throughout history. We talk about how...

The conversation begins by discussing the spread of the Coronavirus into North Carolina (breaking news), how long the virus can lie dormant in your system (2 weeks!) before expressing itself with violent flu like/respiratory symptoms, and what Nic would do if someone directly infected him.
Kyle then gives us a brief overview on the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic taking place in Columbus, OH this weekend. Powerlifters, strongmen, bodybuilders and just overall record-breaking athletes flock to this...

Finally, Kyle brings up a musing on what causes us to recollect memories that seemed dormant for years, even decades - check it out and let us know your thoughts on @homespunyak (instagram)!

Kyle then gives a pretty well-rounded explanation of the game of golf by examining the rules, club specifications and the extreme difficulty of the sport for amateurs like you and I.

He goes into a bit of gory detail on how the immune system, the nervous system, the muscular system, and skeletal system all play roles in clean up and recovery of the body. This is a solo episode, because Kyle is still experiencing some serious pain from surgery just a few days ago. I hope this proves interesting, at the least - we hope to have Kyle back next week!

Back in their day, you had to drive down to the local Circuit City with your sleeping bag, camp out overnight with strangers, get trampled in the entryway of the store, and duel to the death just for the chance of buying the latest and greatest CD player that was 20% off.
