Description

A Staten Island legend enters the Bunker! This week on The Ham Radio Show, we sit down with Eddie Monaghan—better known as Terrible Eddie—the mastermind behind the world-famous "zanguages" at Terrible Eddie’s on Annadale Road. It’s not just about meat and bread; it’s about respect. Eddie joins Eddie Finocchiaro, Ricky, and Joe to discuss the deep meaning behind his menu. We dive into the moving story of Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis, a New Dorp hero who gave his life in Afghanistan to save a fellow soldier. Eddie reveals the ingredients chosen by the Ollis family for "The 22" tribute sandwich and why it’s launching this Memorial Day. In this episode: The Michael Ollis Tribute: Eddie shares how he worked with the Ollis family to create a sandwich that truly reflects Michael’s favorites (Chicken cutlet, bacon, ranch, and a Snapple). The 22: Why the naming of the sandwich honors Michael’s unit (2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry). Pat Tillman & Father Capodano: We talk about the importance of keeping the names of our veterans alive on Staten Island and beyond. The "Amazing" Debate: Eddie explains why he’s banning the word "amazing" (and what the food actually tastes like). Zanguish Lore: From the Macho Man to the Anthony Cumia, we look at the 50+ sandwiches that make Terrible Eddie’s a Staten Island institution.

WTF News: The Brazil Bungee Blunder & Haunted Burger Kings?

Things get wild in the Bunker Studios this week as the Ham Radio crew dives into the darkest corners of the internet for another legendary WTF News segment! From tragic "leaps of faith" in South America to paranormal encounters at Ground Zero, Eddie and the gang leave no stone unturned. In this segment: 🔴 The Brazil Bridge Tragedy: We break down the viral (and horrifying) footage of 21-year-old Maria Eduarda Rodriguez. Was it a bungee jump or a rope swing? Billy and Eddie argue over the semantics while discussing the unthinkable mistake: being launched off a 130-foot bridge without actually being attached to the rope. 🔴 Siegfried & Roy... or Gunagata? Joe attempts to weigh in on famous animal accidents, but struggles to pronounce the names of Vegas legends Siegfried & Roy. The crew helps him out in the most Ham Radio way possible—with plenty of insults and a Harvey Fierstein impression. 🔴 Ghosts of the World Trade Center: Ricky drops some chilling "basement" knowledge about his time working near Ground Zero. From security guards quitting over apparitions to hearing voices in empty offices during the COVID lockdown, we explore the "Ghost of the Burger King" and the lingering spirits of lower Manhattan. 🔴 The Parade Arrest Bet: With the Knicks winning the 2026 Championship, the crew places their bets on how many arrests will go down at the victory parade. Will it be a "Baker’s Dozen" or a full-scale riot?
