Summary
Big Ben pulls back the curtain for a wild Friday edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast with stories you won’t hear anywhere else. While his radio career has crossed paths with legendary stations like WEEI and 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston, Maller reveals the most outrageous personal “award” he’s ever received — courtesy of a diehard member of the Maller Militia making a permanent commitment to the show. Ben thought he was getting punked during the shocking reveal. Plus, Maller reveals a painful medical mishap at “the office” that temporarily damaged the golden pipes and his prized “moneymaker.” It’s chaos, comedy, behind-the-scenes radio war stories, and unfiltered weekend podcast madness. Subscribe, follow, and help fuel the audio supply chain across the Blue Marble seven days a week. It’s another chaotic, laugh-filled weekend pod packed with exclusive stories, radio war tales, and classic Maller mayhem. Subscribe, follow, and help feed the overnight audio supply chain.
