The Ham Radio Show presents: Cold Cuts

Jerry from Jersey needs emergency therapy—and the Ham Radio crew is all he’s got.

Jerry calls into The Ham Radio Show to vent about a massive blowout with his fiancée. The situation? He’s 73, hooked to an oxygen tank, and burning through his life savings paying rent and bills for his fiancée and her sister. Meanwhile, his bride-to-be—a stunning adult film star—is demanding a full-blown, $50,000+ "Princess Diana" dream wedding

The silver lining keeping Jerry hanging on? A supposed $50,000,000 inheritance that unlocks the second the marriage certificate is signed.

Between suggestions of turning the oxygen tank into the ring bearer, catering the reception with PB&J and chitlin' loaf, and Eddie’s golden rule of "Suck it up or fuck it up," the guys break down whether Jerry is playing the ultimate long game or getting completely taken for a ride.

Actor Aleks Paunovic joins Uncle Eddie and Ricky on The Ham Radio Show to break down his role in Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming 8-part limited series, The Greatest (premiering November 4th)!

Aleks stars as William Faversham Jr., head of the Louisville Sponsoring Group (the "Louisville Millionaires Club")—the pivotal syndicate that funded a young Cassius Clay’s early career and kept him out of the clutches of the mob.

What starts as an inside look at the stunning cinematography and Jaalen Best’s uncanny transformation into young Cassius Clay turns into an all-out, unforgettable boxing deep dive. Ricky and Aleks bond instantly over their shared reverence for Muhammad Ali—trading stories about Ali's sheer mental fortitude against Joe Frazier, his three-year exile from boxing, and Aleks’ once-in-a-lifetime private moment with "The Champ" himself at the premiere of Facing Ali.

Did Richard Gere actually end up in an ER with a gerbil? For nearly 40 years, it’s been one of Hollywood’s most persistent, shocking, and pervasive urban legends.

Uncle Eddie and the crew from The Ham Radio Show sit down with investigative journalist and author Alan Salkin (The Hollywood Reporter, The New York Times, Vanity Fair), creator and host of the hit 12-episode investigative podcast "Gerbil."

Alan breaks down the madness behind the myth, how rumors evolved and spread like viruses in the pre-internet era, whether Sylvester Stallone really started it out of revenge, and who "Patient Zero" actually was during the 1985 Philadelphia panic. Plus, the guys pitch Alan his next investigative true-crime deep dive: Lamar Odom and the Bunny Ranch.

Chef Noah Hester—mastermind behind Bradshaw Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and co-owner of Hamm’s Meat Market—joins Uncle Eddie and the crew on The Ham Radio Show!

Noah breaks down what it’s really like crafting spirits with his NFL Hall of Fame father-in-law, Terry Bradshaw, and reveals the crazy story behind their signature 103.8 proof / 51.9% ABV (hint: check Terry's NFL stats!).

Plus, things turn into pure "Food Porn Radio" as Noah and in-studio chef Johnny Vegas break down the secrets to award-winning burgers, dry-aging steaks in bourbon, Hawaiian culinary traditions, Spam musubi, and why pineapple on pizza is a culinary crime.

Grab a glass of Bradshaw Bourbon, light up a cigar, and tune in!

What started as a battle with a stubborn internal hemorrhoid turned into a full-scale medical emergency when Joe decided one dose of heavy-duty laxative wasn't enough. From a "shit sprinkler" in the hallway to collapsing six feet from the hospital toilet and getting an unholy sponge bath from two nurses—this is the full story of Joe's Great Flush.

The phone lines go completely off the rails in this packed segment of The Ham Radio Show! First, regular caller Jerry checks in and immediately sets off a firestorm with Joe over politics, leading to an absolute, unhinged shouting match about presidents, history, and taxes.

Just when Joe catches his breath, West Coast royalty Melrose Larry Green dials in to share his 75-and-a-half-year-old wisdom, roast the other callers, talk late-night TV, and break down why Staten Island rules over everything else. Two entirely different calls, two legendary rants, and zero filters.

Eddie and the crew react to the viral news report of Thomas Fahmy, a Staten Island man who was struck by lightning while walking to the dentist. However, the tragedy quickly devolves into comedy as the guys become completely obsessed with the reporter’s pronunciation of the victim's last name, "Fahmy." Between the lightning strikes and the accidental puns, the show can’t stop laughing as they count every time the news report seems to say "Fuck Me."
