No weekends. No vacations. No parole. The Fifth Hour Mailbag keeps cranking as Robbie the Mariners Fan climbs back into the co-host chair alongside Ben Maller for another edition of organized audio chaos. The questions? Completely unhinged. The answers? Somehow even more so. This week's grab bag includes the Cheeseburger Index, DNA dog poop detectives, the bizarre world of Guinness World Records, Netflix and the homeless, Minecraft scholarships, internet hurricane IShowSpeed, Sacred Water, and a buffet of other listener-generated oddities that make you question humanity's decision-making skills. It's part talk show, part variety show, part group therapy session for night owls who took a wrong turn at Albuquerque. As always, Ben sprinkles in useless knowledge you didn't know you needed, sarcastic life observations, and enough verbal shenanigans to keep the podcast police on high alert.Listen, laugh, question your life choices, and remember: on the Fifth Hour, normal is grounds for immediate dismissal.

On this supersized edition of the Fifth Hour, Ben Maller takes you on another audio road trip, bouncing from the music of Roy Orbison to the surprising origin of the ice cream sundae—which exists thanks to old alcohol laws. Along the way you'll learn about star berries, population shifts that could reshape the world, and a collection of oddball fun facts worthy of the Maller Militia Hall of Fame.

Then it's time for the main event.

This is the official preview of MallerPalooza™ 2026, the annual celebration of controlled chaos where a vaudeville variety show collides with David Letterman's Stupid Human Tricks and The Gong Show. Ben pulls back the curtain on what separates unforgettable acts from instant disasters, reveals the exclusive celebrity judge for this year's spectacle, and gives newcomers a crash course on what makes the biggest night in Summer overnight sports radio unlike anything else on the air.

As if that weren't enough, the Idiom of the Week adds one final splash of razzle-dazzle, proving there are no crocodile tears when it comes to great storytelling, strange trivia, and offbeat laughs. Buckle up, hit play, and enjoy another globe-trotting, fact-packed, theater-of-the-mind adventure that only Ben Maller can deliver.

Ben Maller goes vroom, vroom on the latest edition of the Fifth Hour, serving up a grab bag of fun facts about motorcycles, piña coladas, and kebabs. Buckle up as he takes you on an audio road trip through "The Valley of the Fan" and "Palm Tree Island," complete with thug babushkas, ants the size of the Death Star, and the kind of bizarre detours only Maller can navigate. There's also a Word of the Day shaped by both the Bible and Bugs Bunny, hijacked by Elmer Fudd and kids, with a side order of foodie fun. Shows like this are why Ben Maller has been called the Rumpelstiltskin of radio—spinning straw into broadcast gold, painting word pictures in the theater of the mind, and turning chicken feathers into audio treasure. Listen, laugh, share, like, and enjoy!

It's a patriotic Fifth on the Fifth as Ben Maller teams up with his Fox Sports Radio partner-in-crime, Briana Muro, for a special holiday edition of the Fifth Hour! Benny and Bree crack open the overflowing Mailbag of Mischief and answer questions from the loyal P1s of the Maller Militia here, there, and everywhere. B & B are bouncing from one random rabbit hole to the next. On the menu: Joey Chestnut battling the summer heat, rooftop cooling hacks, classic game show drama-o-rama, cyborg cockroaches, Nepo Babies, proper shotgun etiquette, Stinking Genius load management, hairy pastry, and a buffet of wonderfully useless knowledge. It's another trip through the Audio Dojo where the strange is celebrated, the mundane is mocked, and organized chaos reigns supreme.

Ben returns to the audio dojo on the Fourth of July and explains how he was drafted—against his better judgment—into attending a baby shower in the Southern California town made famous by a beloved 1980s cult classic. What begins as social exile turns into an unexpected excellent adventure as he discovers common ground with complete strangers... before being rescued by smoke. Plus, Ben celebrates Independence Day by diving into random patriotic trivia involving George Washington, the Liberty Bell, hidden messages, forgotten dates, and Americans with split allegiances. It's history with extra hot sauce. And according to Alf and Ferg Dog, this episode is better than burgers, hot dogs, fireworks, and potato salad combined... unless it's not.

Ben Maller is back behind the mighty microphones of the Fifth Hour Podcast, broadcasting from beneath the Palace of Pontification in the legendary Audio Dungeon! After a brief radio sabbatical, Benny pulls back the curtain on where he's been and why a few so-called loyal listeners were exposed as nothing more than counterfeit P1s. Then, a random text about old laundry sent Maller down a rabbit hole and into a full-blown radio geek frenzy, celebrating the larger-than-life legacy of Wolfman Jack and the magic of the golden age of radio. Plus, by popular demand, the Word of the Week returns, featuring one of Ben's all-time favorite Yiddish gems that's gone from the old neighborhood to the mainstream. It's nostalgia, snark, radio war stories, and the usual controlled chaos—just the way you like it.

Benny is back in the audio sweatshop, the SpinMaster of Misinformation, Bantering Broadcaster, Beethoven of B.S. joins show legend, Robbie the Mariners Fan, for the latest edition of the wildly popular Sunday Mailbag. The boys crack open the P1 inbox and tackle everything from peanut butter on burgers, hot dog buns, and a pirate's life to the meteoric rise of IShowSpeed, trashcan madness, Wendy's stock, and the legendary Commodore flip phone. Nothing is off limits as every question gets sliced, diced, grilled, and seasoned with a generous shake of Cajun pepper in another freewheeling edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast.

Benny cracks open another chapter from the Life of Maller on this Saturday edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast. Forget private jets and VIP lounges—this is the glamorous life of an overnight radio star. Ben embarks on an epic Staycation, battling his way through a concrete jungle, surviving a chemical blizzard inside a post-apocalyptic snow globe, cruising down Misery Mile, hiking through what looked like a landfill, and weaving past an outdoor drug market... all in search of civilization. The reward? Pastrami Nirvana and Cookie Sundae Bliss at the legendary Santa Monica Pier. Along the way, Ben also unveils a billion-dollar business idea: how restaurants can use a little Skull Duggery Pricing to make customers think they're getting the deal of the century—without actually lowering the price. Luxury travel has nothing on this...
