  • Highland's Heroes - Tax Shenanigans, Trump Truths, and the Frog in Boiling Water: Waking Up Before We Croak!
    Feb 21 2026

    Buckle up, heroes! In this rollicking episode of Hyland's Heroes, host Patrick Hyland teams up with producer AJ to drop some straight-talk bombshells on the week's wildest woes. From Trump's epic hypocrisy roast (hating white men unless they're fabulous? Loving capitalism but begging for Pride logos?) to Virginia's absurd tax bonanza—gym memberships, dog walking, even electric leaf blowers? Come on, man! We dive into the "Color Revolution" playbook that's got globalists flipping countries like pancakes, why gun bans won't stop stabbings (shoutout to England), and a no-nonsense chat with Hillsborough County Property Appraiser Bob Henriquez on why property taxes are like that extended warranty you never wanted but kinda need. Plus, hilarious rants on voter ID myths (it's $20, folks—not Jim Crow 2.0), illegal immigration's hidden costs, and why if you're not paying taxes, maybe skip the voting booth? All served with a hefty dose of common sense, vet shoutouts, and zero tolerance for nonsense. Whether you're dodging socialism's debt spiral or just craving solutions for finances, security, and sanity, Patrick's got your back. Call 813-966-1052 for that coffee chat—because life's too short for convoluted chaos! God bless America, and let's make it great (again).

  • Highland's Heroes: God Bless the Troops, the Teachers, and Anyone Who Can Lower My Property Taxes
    Feb 17 2026

    Tired of life throwing you curveballs like skyrocketing bills, confusing Medicare rules, and wondering if your vet benefits are collecting dust? Patrick Highland's your no-BS wingman—part financial fixer, part community cheerleader, and full-time hero spotter.

    Join us Sundays for real talk with Tampa Bay's finest: vets who stared down .50 calibers (and lived to tell), staffing pros turning retirees into construction MVPs (better quality than McDonald's, promise), property appraisers decoding tax drama without the political circus, and everyday legends like teachers wrangling chaos and cops running toward it.

    We salute the military (freedom ain't free, folks—God bless 'em), roast bad insurance deals, drop dad-joke-level humor (ask about that Trump book mix-up at Barnes & Noble), and arm you with ways to save thousands on Medicare, life insurance, and more. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things... and Patrick making sure your wallet thanks them too.

    Call Patrick at 813-966-1052 to become a hero (or just get a free quote). Because life's challenges don't retire—so why should your advocate?

Field goals galore?), and why the biggest game day is also the biggest betting (and domestic drama) day. Laugh along as they roast stadium tax schemes, celebrate that freezing Tampa hockey outdoor classic, salute the troops/police/teachers, and debate if sports really build character... or just excuses to yell at the TV.
