On this episode of Midnight Hostility Radio , Namo looks back at how we went from the radio of the 80's and 90's to what we have today and how pathetic it really is. Also a look at why Sirius signed Howard Stern for 3 more years, the Epstein files and how celebrity/political worship alters the view on who's on it. Namo also breaks down the outdated formats of late night talk shows, subscription radio and the 2026 debut of the great Frankie MacDonald.

The first episode of Midnight Hostility Radio of 2026 hits two topics on Namo's mind.

The first being Sirius Radio wasting money bringing a long past his prime Howard Stern back for three years and the Mets pursuit of Kyle Tucker in a battle with the Toronto Blue Jays for him.

The Details......

Howard Stern Signs New 3-Year SiriusXM Contract

Radio legend Howard Stern has signed a new three-year contract to keep hosting The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM, ending speculation about his retirement. Stern announced the deal on his show, saying he’s “figured out a way to have it all” with more free time and continued on-air presence beginning in early January. The agreement reportedly includes a more flexible schedule for the 71-year-old host and his longtime co-host Robin Quivers, though specific financial terms were not publicly disclosed. Stern has been with SiriusXM since 2006, where his show airs on dedicated channels and remains a central part of the satellite radio service.

Top free agent Kyle Tucker (formerly with the Cubs in 2025) is a major target in MLB free agency. The New York Mets have made a big push, reportedly offering a short-term, high-value contract (about ~$50 million per year), with multiple years on the table as they try to bolster their lineup. Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays remain in the hunt with a longer-term offer that could rival or exceed other suitors. Many insiders still view Toronto as a strong fit and possibly the favorite, though a decision could come very soon as teams continue negotiating.

In the summer of 2021, Bronx Johnny from the Ron & Fez Show joined Namo's Reckless Airwaves Radio to reflect on the recent passing of Fez Watley, sharing personal memories, on-air stories, and emotional reactions. The conversation balances grief and gratitude as Johnny recalls working with Ron and Fez and the mentorship Fez provided.

Topics include life as an intern on Ron & Fez and Opie & Anthony-era shows, the craft of producing bits, behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Yankee Stadium security days, and memorable moments from classic Ron & Fez bits and tutorials.

The episode also tackles the changing landscape of radio and podcasting—cancel culture, the rise of personality-driven podcasts like High Society Radio, and shout-outs to contemporary creators—while underlining the importance of fans and community.

Expect a raw, candid mix of tribute, insider stories, industry perspective, and heartfelt emotion as Bronx Johnny honors Fez’s impact and legacy.

On this weeks episode of Midnight Hostility Radio, Namo gives his thoughts on the latest Mets offseason moves including trading Brandon Nimmo for Marcus Semien and signing Devin Williams. Kim Kardashian has low brain activity and fails the Bar exam...are we surprised at either?

Then the great Frankie MacDonald joins Namo in his weekly spot where he makes his bold 2028 presidential election matchup prediction including the winner!

Also, Namo's picks for Weekly Gargoyle, Clown of the Week & Hot Girl of the Week.

In early 2015, One of Namo's favorite guests ever made his first appearance on Team LeftJab Radio... Matthew Burns AKA "Sick" Nick Mondo. Burns came on to promote his upcoming film at the time "The Trade" but also discussed his shift from CZW’s ultraviolent era to a filmmaking career based in Japan, clearing up misconceptions (he’s not an English teacher) and explaining what led him to stay in Japan.

Topics include his ECW influences, the brutal style and mindset behind CZW, reasons for retiring in 2003, his concern for younger wrestlers, and the story behind his new film at the time "The Trade" — a surreal docudrama exploring why he was drawn to extreme wrestling.

This episode blends wrestling history, personal reflection, and the creative rebirth that led to The Trade. Burns was a great interview!

In this episode of Midnight Hostility After Hours, the Trump–Mamdani White House meeting takes center stage. Namo has said for years that people who live and die with politicians stances are foolish and the meeting at the White House today proves that point. After months of critical comments by both about each other, President Trump & NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani had a love fest that had to be seen to be believed.

Key points: politicians act in self-interest, media moments are often staged, and Namo urges listeners not to lose friends or family over partisan worship — keep perspective, don’t buy the hype.

On this week's Midnight Hostility Radio, Namo talks about the possible release of the Epstein files and how you shouldn't expect much to come from it. Government officials do not get in trouble...simple as that.

Then we have the great Frankie MacDonald in his weekly spot giving his latest world renowned weather updates and some thoughts on Thanksgiving next week.

And of course, Namo's picks for Clown of the Week, Weekly Gargoyle & Hot Girl of the Week.
