Pressed into pinch hitting duties, Ben's weekday radio show was ambushed by a familiar face and it was with good reason. The criticism was sharp and filled with anger, but the ratings told a different tale. So how was David's performance as Ben's executive producer?

Ben Maller gets you ready for the Comic-Con for people with insomnia, otherwise known as the Maller Meet & Greet in Las Vegas—because apparently strangers from overnight radio gathering in a bar is considered a social event. Plus, Ben unveils The Gremlin Manifesto, a tale as old as technology itself. After another romantic dance with the tech gods ended with equipment going haywire, Ben was forced to launch a one-man counterinsurgency from the old country. Nothing dramatic, just a grown man fighting machines that are supposed to make life easier. Ben also produces dusty official, government-stamped paperwork. Yes, apparently the government once took time away from misplacing billions of dollars to certify something involving Ben Maller. Finally, your tax dollars at work. All that and more on The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller.

The Fifth Hour: The Gremlin Manifesto

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/0da900f3-558c-4ca7-a091-b4b50075d7ab/transcript

For nine years, Bernie Fratto has been a granite countertop of weekend overnight radio on Fox Sports Radio — dependable, durable and somehow still standing after years of exposure to the radioactive waste known as the broadcasting business. A longtime pinch-hitter on the Ben Maller Show, Bernie drops by the Audio Sweatshop before taking a sabbatical from professional gasbaggery. Bernie and Ben unlock the Nostalgia Vault, dust off the broadcasting fossils and swap you-can’t-make-this-up tales from the Radio Wars — strange bosses, stranger decisions and enough broadcasting malpractice to fill a Costco. It’s a Fifth Hour exclusive! Climb aboard the Nostalgia Train as we travel back to radio’s wonderfully dysfunctional past, where common sense went to die and every hallway had a story.

All aboard!

The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller sets sail into the murky waters of the Sunday Mailbag, with Robbie the Mariners Fan riding shotgun as the fellas swashbuckle their way through another hodgepodge of listener questions. On the menu: a Mike & Dogs invasion of the Ben Maller Show, the great Starbucks relocation mystery, Fake News, and the comedy stylings of Lucky Tony. Also, doggy diets, Piggly Wiggly problems, automobiles with enough miles to qualify for Social Security, and living that sweet lake life. The boys visit the top human zoo on the planet, activate the Marlins Man hotline, investigate why squids are apparently taking over the highways, and debate whether kids should actually get paid to attend school. Holy cannoli! Whatever happened to a gold star and a carton of chocolate milk? It's a grab bag of malarkey, mayhem, Maller Math, and listener-generated nonsense. No hocus-pocus, just focus!

All questions sent in by new listeners & P1's of the #MallerMilitia! Download, subscribe, and remember that sharing is caring (unless it's an STD.)
