In fact, it's the fourth different sign. They've got a new realtor all the time. I do know this, though. They wouldn't be dealing with all this stress if they'd just called TVs Doug Hopkins because he's more than a guy buying your house. He makes an offer for your house, cash as is. You don't have to do anything. The deal is over. So all you got to do is start the process online@doug hopkins.com or sing.

Larry McFeely
I got this. If I was in pain and had the ability, though, to make a joke, I. If he pulled up, I would ask, is there any way that Sammy Hagar could come in halfway through that would get him.
John Holberg
Bring me Gary, Sharon. Anybody but you.
Larry McFeely
Hey, that's a little too extreme.

Episode Date: August 15, 2025
Main Guests: The Sklar Brothers, Dale Hellestrae
Host(s): John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Dick Toledo
Main Feature: Entertainment Drill – Celebrity Collections, Taylor Swift’s “internet-breaking” album announcement, Rock nostalgia and comedy banter.
This episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness dives deep into pop culture quirks, starting with hilarious takes on celebrity collecting habits and winding through recent entertainment news, classic rock commentary, and some signature wisecracking from the Sklar Brothers and Dale Hellestrae. The big headline: Taylor Swift’s guest spot and album reveal on the Kelsey Brothers’ “New Heights” podcast, which set digital records and sent fans into a frenzy.
The tone stays playfully irreverent, with fast-paced digressions, sarcastic quips, and affectionate ribbing between the hosts and guests. The humor is unfiltered and often self-deprecating. The show radiates a loose, laid-back morning-show vibe, blending topical pop culture chatter with bits of personal nostalgia, inside jokes, and a keen eye for the absurd side of fame.
For listeners who missed the episode: you’ll leave with a strong dose of laughter, lots of left-field celebrity trivia, and a real sense of how Taylor Swift’s pop-culture might continues to defy expectations. The Sklar Brothers add extra layers of observational humor, and the banter consistently circles back to the intersection of music, nostalgia, and the odd behaviors of both celebrities and their fans.
Perfect for: Fans of smart-aleck radio, comedy podcasts, celebrity gossip with a twist, and anyone who enjoys classic rock references laced with relentless, good-natured jabbing.
