Big Ben heads back to the audio sweatshop for another chaotic edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast, spinning wild tales from the Naked City that sound too bizarre to be true. From an awkward run-in with “royalty” at the legendary Pastrami Queen to castles, abstract art, museum snobs, and a Belichickian-style death stare that could freeze lava, this episode is loaded with vintage Maller storytelling. Ben also reveals the universal survival phrase for anyone trapped in a fancy, bougie museum by family members pretending to understand modern art. Plus, a mini tribute to the late great Anthony Bourdain and a preview of the long-awaited return of NFL Book’em featuring new twists like the Maller Hopper. Subscribe, review, and spread the gospel of the Maller Militia.

For years on the overnight show and here on The Fifth Hour, Ben Maller has claimed he’s a “distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostradeanus.” Now the legendary Seattle wise man himself joins the Mailbag! Ben and Nostradeanus chop it up about bucket-list sporting events, the mysterious extinction of female callers on overnight radio, the future of AI replacing humans behind the mic, Costco chicken fingers, outrageously overpriced $55 pizza slices, and the strange bond of late-night radio lifers. It’s rapid-fire storytelling, sarcasm, hot takes, and the kind of unfiltered late-night banter that sounds like two guys arguing at a diner at 3 a.m. mixed with podcast chaos. Subscribe, follow, and join the audio circus before the algorithm buries civilization.
