Momentum is a scam! Sports' favorite imaginary friend. The Bigfoot of athletics. Everybody swears they've seen it. Nobody can produce a body. Enough already! Benny unleashes The Anti-Momentum Manifesto in a therapeutic Fifth Hour rant before tackling more of life's absurdities.From "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" to who really said "Let Them Eat Cake"? And why was Benjamin Franklin trying to make nasty farts smell like perfume? Apparently inventing bifocals wasn't enough. Another perfectly unreasonable edition of the Fifth Hour!

Fire up the Hot Tub Time Machine! The factory of pod is back in business with a tribute to Iron Mike Ditka!

Ben Maller does a belly-whopper into the deep end of the mailbag, where good judgment goes to die. The Wheel of Maller Militia Legends lands on Doc Mike from Chicago and Mike the Leprechaun from the Commonwealth. Doc isn’t a real doctor—he just plays one on the radio and podcasts—but his résumé includes classic Maller bits like "marrying" Spin Cycle Regina in Minnesota, presidential campaigns nobody asked for, brewing Bloody Goat Beer, the beer for losers, and delivering an alarming number of goat heads to the Cubs at Wrigley Field over the years. Perfectly normal behavior. Mike the Leprechaun, meanwhile, continues his blood feud with Marcel in Brooklyn after helping host iconic Maller Meet & Greets in Boston and Worcester and witnessing Benny’s 99 MPH* opening pitch at the WooSox game. (*Estimated by extremely unreliable sources.) The fellas chew through podcast sausage, the Ben Maller Show on TV, kayaking around venomous snakes in the Congo Basin, underwater UFOs, homemade urine therapy straight from the tap—because apparently plumbing wasn’t disgusting enough—shady bookkeeping, the slow death of late-night TV and more. This is where the razzle meets the dazzle, unless it's just another marginal episode of The Fifth Hour. Ben Maller has Mail Bag fun for your Sunday!

Something has gone missing from the overnight airwaves—and a listener in Ohio wants answers. On the Friday Fifth Hour, Benny Radio investigates the disappearing Sweet Science of verbal boxing, taking the Maller Mobile down Memory Lane to revisit legendary audio heavyweights in the Verbal Octagon™. Big Ben reveals the secret sauce needed to develop the next generation of radio gladiators.

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.

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.

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!

Benny returns for your Saturday audio needs—because apparently you have nothing better to do. He breaks down the must-see college football games and recklessly tosses in a couple bonus picks against the spread. Then, A Penny for Your Thoughts: Why is Benny vs. The Penny back on radio? Ben takes you behind the curtain for the TV negotiations, Hollywood nonsense and attempted resurrection. Plus, what happens when the late great Barry Melrose and the Mandela Effect meet The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Sure, why not? Normal price: $999. P1 price: FREE. Frankly, still overpriced. Tell a friend, tell a friend, tell a friend.
