Summary
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.
