Ben returns to the audio dojo on the Fourth of July and explains how he was drafted—against his better judgment—into attending a baby shower in the Southern California town made famous by a beloved 1980s cult classic. What begins as social exile turns into an unexpected excellent adventure as he discovers common ground with complete strangers... before being rescued by smoke. Plus, Ben celebrates Independence Day by diving into random patriotic trivia involving George Washington, the Liberty Bell, hidden messages, forgotten dates, and Americans with split allegiances. It's history with extra hot sauce. And according to Alf and Ferg Dog, this episode is better than burgers, hot dogs, fireworks, and potato salad combined... unless it's not.

Ben Maller is back behind the mighty microphones of the Fifth Hour Podcast, broadcasting from beneath the Palace of Pontification in the legendary Audio Dungeon! After a brief radio sabbatical, Benny pulls back the curtain on where he's been and why a few so-called loyal listeners were exposed as nothing more than counterfeit P1s. Then, a random text about old laundry sent Maller down a rabbit hole and into a full-blown radio geek frenzy, celebrating the larger-than-life legacy of Wolfman Jack and the magic of the golden age of radio. Plus, by popular demand, the Word of the Week returns, featuring one of Ben's all-time favorite Yiddish gems that's gone from the old neighborhood to the mainstream. It's nostalgia, snark, radio war stories, and the usual controlled chaos—just the way you like it.
