Ben channels the spirit of Mark Twain on a wild Saturday edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast, proving once again that facts should never ruin a perfectly ridiculous story. From a cloak-and-dagger “pastry meetup” that turned into a full-blown emergency intervention with a Willie Wonka-style entrance, to tales of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow flexing historic power in Boston, this episode zigzags through the chaos of the 2026 Worcester Maller Meet & Greet. Add in Mike the Leprechaun’s one-man variety show, a sea of colorful humanity, and enough awkward social encounters to fill a documentary, and you’ve got another unforgettable Maller travel log.
