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!
