  The Fifth Hour: Roadside Rip Van Maller

  Sep 26, 202636 min

  Pack the car, lower your expectations and make sure your tetanus shot is current—the Maller Travelogue has returned! Benny goes wandering around the Golden State, proving California still has some gold left once you get far enough away from traffic, politicians and people charging $19 for avocado toast. It’s a “Darling” of an adventure featuring the Cathedral of Giants, 24 hours living off the grid, and the three magical letters posted on a restaurant window that scream: you have made some questionable navigation choices. Along the way, Ben becomes roadside Rip Van Maller, gets an unwanted lesson in organic farming and discovers what happens when civilization—and cell service—disappear. Then we change gears to remember the late Lawrence Tanter, the legendary Lakers PA announcer who spent more than 40 years behind the microphone. Somehow, a card-carrying Lakers hater and the voice of the Lakers became friends, bonding over the dying art of radio. Travel stories, radio stories, California weirdness and assorted nonsense—dump it into the Maller blender, hit purée and pray the lid stays on. It’s the Life of Maller edition of The Fifth Hour. Ben Maller has a fun Saturday podcast for you!   ...Follow, rate & review "The Fifth Hour!"   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fifth-hour-with-ben-maller/id1478163837 Engage with the podcast by emailing us at  RealFifthHour@gmail.com   ...

  The Fifth Hour: Hollaring with James

  Sep 20, 202644 min

  We went to the bullpen and called in a Hall of Fame closer to the weekend pod palooza! Hollering James from Minneapolis joins Ben for a rambunctious edition of the Fifth Hour Mailbag. Legendary for his thunderous snoring and undying love of the Ben Maller Show, James is one of the great larger-than-life cartoon characters of the Maller Militia. The boys rip open the mailbag and tackle listener questions from around the globe, traveling down a winding road of looksmaxxing, Colombian Bam Bam, toddler fight club, J-Lo lookalikes, Navy SEAL training, robotoilets, hurricane records, bad hygiene, and plenty more. It’s chaos, comedy, and questionable life advice—exactly what you signed up for. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. You better listen, or the FOMO will kick in, and you’ll need an industrial-sized shipment of copium. All questions sent in by new listeners & P1's of the #MallerMilitia!

  The Fifth Hour: Chatty McAlgorithm?

  Sep 19, 202634 min

  Ben is back in the audio sweatshop on a Saturday, because apparently relaxation is for other people. Wackadoodle Hollywood legend Robert De Niro triggers a trip down memory lane with some classic tales of unforgettable Dodgers legend Tommy Lasorda, including a legendary afternoon at the Smoke House where everything seemed perfectly normal until, naturally, it wasn’t. Ben also asks the important question nobody else has the courage—or interest—to ask: Where is Doug? Then it’s off to the future, unfortunately, as AI golf analyst guy makes his debut and immediately books everyone a first-class ticket on the Vomit Comet. Is the sports world really ready for Chatty McAlgorithm? Nobody asked for him, nobody needed him, but here he is. Pretty, pretty, pretty unnecessary.

  The Fifth Hour: All Hail King Eddie!

  Sep 18, 202635 min

  The band is back together! Eddie Garcia makes his triumphant return to The Fifth Hour as the dynamic duo reunites—and it sounds so good. Ben catches up with Eddie on how his metamorphosis into a full-time Pod Guy is going, life after the overnight radio grind, and the current temperature of his lukewarm Pittsburgh Steelers. The boys also crack open the Maller memory vault for stories about some of the legendary cartoon characters and super fans who have populated the Ben Maller Show universe over the years. Plus, with hockey season around the corner, Eddie puts on his NHL cap as the guys break down some of the big stories heading into the new campaign. Old stories, new adventures, hockey chatter and plenty of nonsense. Fire up the jukebox, because this reunion is taking a journey back to Happy Days!
