Holmberg’s Morning Sickness (HMS) – January 26, 2026

Main Theme:
A light-hearted, irreverent look at “snowed in” weather across the U.S., oddball news (a pork chop assault in Florida), Crocs vs. Lego Crocs fashion, and the crew’s signature banter about comfort, fashion, and human nature. The team also shares viral videos and unpredictable visual content.
