The Ben Maller Show

The Fifth Hour: Iron Mike & Sticks

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/ff043d4e-353f-444a-89cc-b4df006d9be9/transcript

Forget Kevin Bacon. Benny Radio is apparently two degrees from Dua Lipa, and all it took was a baseball game and a guy dressed like a traffic cone! On this edition of The Fifth Hour, Ben reveals how a random Yankees playoff game, a homemade taco feast, and the legendary Marlins Man somehow turned into a backstage drama-o-rama involving the pop superstar. Naturally! Marlins Man, the Forrest Gump of the sporting world and a senior member of the Maller Militia's celebrity wing, has done it again. Ben delivers the juicy details nobody else has, because apparently this is what investigative podcast journalism looks like now. PLUS, an exclusive tale of how Benny nearly missed his own radio show thanks to a real-life Fast & Furious audition on the 101 Freeway. Who knew getting to work required stunt-driving experience? And just when you thought civilization couldn't get any stranger, the world is under attack by Mama Lukes! It's another journey into the absurd with the Nocturnal Colonel, where the stories are true, even when they sound completely made up!

The Fifth Hour: Levitating with Benny Radio

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/a18bf99b-db4f-41f6-8e13-b4dd015ad926/transcript

Ben Maller does a belly-whopper into the deep end of the mailbag, where good judgment goes to die. The Wheel of Maller Militia Legends lands on Doc Mike from Chicago and Mike the Leprechaun from the Commonwealth. Doc isn’t a real doctor—he just plays one on the radio and podcasts—but his résumé includes classic Maller bits like "marrying" Spin Cycle Regina in Minnesota, presidential campaigns nobody asked for, brewing Bloody Goat Beer, the beer for losers, and delivering an alarming number of goat heads to the Cubs at Wrigley Field over the years. Perfectly normal behavior.

Mike the Leprechaun, meanwhile, continues his blood feud with Marcel in Brooklyn after helping host iconic Maller Meet & Greets in Boston and Worcester and witnessing Benny’s 99 MPH* opening pitch at the WooSox game. (*Estimated by extremely unreliable sources.)

The fellas chew through podcast sausage, the Ben Maller Show on TV, kayaking around venomous snakes in the Congo Basin, underwater UFOs, homemade urine therapy straight from the tap—because apparently plumbing wasn’t disgusting enough—shady bookkeeping, the slow death of late-night TV and more.

This is where the razzle meets the dazzle, unless it's just another marginal episode of The Fifth Hour.
