| 6/21/26 | ![]() The Fifth Hour: Bye Bye Blue M&Ms Mail Bag! | It’s the Father’s Day edition of the legendary Fifth Hour Mailbag! Ben Maller clocks in from the remote audio sweatshop alongside FSR teammate Briana Muro for a tag-team extravaganza. The dynamic duo dives headfirst into the Maller Militia mailbag, tackling hard-hitting questions about FIFA stadium sponsorships, the mystery of Blue M&Ms, momentum meters, the latest PMS slander aimed at the Maller Brand, irrational fear of doorbells, guerrilla marketing tactics for the Ben Maller Show, and whether Hollywood should dare remake Liar Liar. No topic is too big, too small, or too ridiculous. It’s a grab bag of hot takes, random observations, unsolicited wisdom, and certified nonsense. Buckle up, subscribe, listen, and enjoy the ride through another chaotic edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast! All questions sent in by new listeners & P1's of the #MallerMilitia!

| 6/20/26 | ![]() The Fifth Hour: VooDoo Googaloo | Ben Maller returns to the audio dojo for a Saturday special, taking a deep dive into a world straight out of The Twilight Zone. It's a dystopian digital wasteland filled with bots, sock puppets, engagement farming, and clipping gone wild — the Voodoo Boogaloo. A place where everything is upside down: up is down, first is last, good is bad, wrong is right, and insanity passes for sanity. Drawing on Plato's Cave, Ben explores how millions mistake curated clips, filtered images, and viral narratives for reality when they're only seeing shadows on the wall. It's a journey through the Matrix of modern social media and the illusion factory that powers it. Plus, another shocking plot twist in the never-ending Life of Maller saga as Ben's home appliance drama takes yet another unexpected turn, proving that sometimes fixing one problem only opens the door to two more, 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 ...

| 6/19/26 | ![]() The Fifth Hour: Smooth Jazz and "Laker girlllls" | The podcast sweatshop is back open for business! Ben Maller bobs and weaves his way through another edition of the Friday Fifth Hour, sharing a surprisingly heartfelt story about a 40-plus-year Lakers employee he connected with through the magic of radio despite being a card-carrying member of the Lakers Haters Society of America. The Quote of the Week makes its triumphant return, and then things get wonderfully weird. Ben discovers that no actual garlic was harmed in the making of garlic sauce, learns you can buy Cotton Candy Cat Fur, celebrates the return of Fried Apple Pies, and investigates an Endless Shrimp Sweepstakes that sounds too good to be true for seafood fanatics. It's a grab bag of nonsense, nostalgia, oddities, and storytelling from the Nocturnal Colonel. Buckle up — because the road to nowhere has never been more entertaining.

| 6/14/26 | ![]() The Fifth Hour: J-Scoop Mail Bag! | The Sunday Mailbag goes completely off the rails as Ben Maller teams up with legendary musician, composer, world traveler, former Marine, and longtime Maller Militia member J-Scoop for a wild ride through listener-generated chaos. From weight-loss wonder drugs and Yosemite adventures to the return of McDonald's fried pies, marble racing madness, Lego Prison, pirate whack-a-mole, Mr. Beast, garlic sauce obsessions, and everything in between, no topic is safe. The questions come fast, the answers come faster, and the rabbit holes get deeper by the minute. If you enjoy sports, pop culture, bizarre life observations, and two gasbags wandering into conversational quicksand, this episode is for you.

| 6/13/26 | ![]() The Fifth Hour: Benny Burrito Drama | What do a touchdown, a dinger, and a game-winning basket have in common? The clap! On this Saturday edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast, Ben Maller explores the strange origins of clapping and how this universal tradition has evolved over time.

| 5/16/26 | ![]() The Fifth Hour: Cloak-and-Dagger Maller Intervention | Ben channels the spirit of Mark Twain on a wild Saturday edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast, proving once again that facts should never ruin a perfectly ridiculous story.

| 5/9/26 | ![]() The Fifth Hour: Four Legged Union Boss | Ben checks back into the remote Maller Podcast Studio at a top-secret Boston location — which may or may not be his laptop at a Seaport hotel — and breaks down how his tightly wound radio routine got hijacked by a four-legged union boss named Moxie. Then it’s story time: one of Ben’s all-time classic radio tales featuring a British pub, Hooters, Tony Bruno, a Desert Storm vet, soccer chaos, flowing pints, unexpected paramedics, and late-night chalupas.
