Show Notes
“Mama, There Goes That Man!” Ben is back with a lukewarm edition of The Fifth Hour, joined by his Pacific Northwest pal and longtime senior member of the Maller Militia, Robbie the Mariners Fan! Grab the scuba gear because the boys are going way too deep into the Mailbag. On the menu: NFL inflation soaring 72% in a decade, artificial intelligence eventually killing us all, the ancient history of the radio dump button, and some guy Ben and Robbie have never heard of ranking Ben’s show on the radio. Very prestigious. Apparently. Plus: the lost art of actually showing up for work, avoiding load management, getting sick in a foreign country, who helped Ben develop his gasbag radio style, and the proper technique for handling meathead fanboys and brown-nosing callers. It’s radio anthropology mixed with nonsense, unsolicited wisdom and several topics nobody requested. Normal retail price: $799.99. Maller Militia price: FREE.

Another day, another mechanical middle finger! On this Fifth Hour, Ben revisits the Greybeard Fonzie Fix before unloading on a Maller Mobile headlight fiasco that triggered automotive PTSD. From mechanical stupidity to historical nonsense, Marco Polo gets busted for pasta fraud, while a Founding Father brings spaghetti to America. Along the way, there's a mulligan to take, something gaudy to wear, and civilization to question. Another glorious Labor of Love from the Nocturnal Colonel, broadcasting from a secret remote location "in the air everywhere" for the men, women, and children of the Maller Militia!

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!
