The Fifth Hour: The Day an Egg McMuffin Owned Mr. Met
Benny cracks open the Fifth Hour vault for a never-before-told tale from a sultry afternoon at Shea Stadium, when an Egg McMuffin somehow owned Mr. Met and brought the usual pregame schmoozing to a screeching halt.

The Fifth Hour: Wicked Pissah

We'll explain how a booze shortage helped the Mayflower find Plym…

The Fifth Hour: Outrage Economy
On the latest Fifth Hour with Ben Maller, we ask the important questions that society has recklessly ignored. Why does Canada need a thing called Big Mustard?

The Fifth Hour: Jerry Coleman Mail Bag!
Baltimore radio lifer Jerry Coleman joins Ben from the popular BMore Sports Podcasts, because apparently neither of them had anything more productive to do.
