    The Fifth Hour: Cheeseburger Index Mail Bag

    No weekends. No vacations. No parole. The Fifth Hour Mailbag keeps cranking as Robbie the Mariners Fan climbs back into the co-host chair alongside Ben Maller for another edition of organized audio chaos. The questions? Completely unhinged. The answers? Somehow even more so. This week's grab bag includes the Cheeseburger Index, DNA dog poop detectives, the bizarre world of Guinness World Records, Netflix and the homeless, Minecraft scholarships, internet hurricane IShowSpeed, Sacred Water, and a buffet of other listener-generated oddities that make you question humanity's decision-making skills. It's part talk show, part variety show, part group therapy session for night owls who took a wrong turn at Albuquerque. As always, Ben sprinkles in useless knowledge you didn't know you needed, sarcastic life observations, and enough verbal shenanigans to keep the podcast police on high alert.Listen, laugh, question your life choices, and remember: on the Fifth Hour, normal is grounds for immediate dismissal. 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.)

    The Fifth Hour: MallerPalooza 2026 Preview!

    On this supersized edition of the Fifth Hour, Ben Maller takes you on another audio road trip, bouncing from the music of Roy Orbison to the surprising origin of the ice cream sundae—which exists thanks to old alcohol laws. Along the way you'll learn about star berries, population shifts that could reshape the world, and a collection of oddball fun facts worthy of the Maller Militia Hall of Fame. Then it's time for the main event. This is the official preview of MallerPalooza™ 2026, the annual celebration of controlled chaos where a vaudeville variety show collides with David Letterman's Stupid Human Tricks and The Gong Show. Ben pulls back the curtain on what separates unforgettable acts from instant disasters, reveals the exclusive celebrity judge for this year's spectacle, and gives newcomers a crash course on what makes the biggest night in Summer overnight sports radio unlike anything else on the air. As if that weren't enough, the Idiom of the Week adds one final splash of razzle-dazzle, proving there are no crocodile tears when it comes to great storytelling, strange trivia, and offbeat laughs. Buckle up, hit play, and enjoy another globe-trotting, fact-packed, theater-of-the-mind adventure that only Ben Maller can deliver.
