On this Sunday edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast, Ben is joined by legendary Podcast P1 Niko from Vancouver — the mastermind behind the unforgettable poutine-powered Maller Meet & Greet north of the border. Ben reveals how he got hornswoggled into a surprise third Meet & Greet during the wild New England road trip, complete with hardball skullduggery and what can only be described as “The Maller Gastrointestinal Classic.” Then it’s time for the Mailbag as Ben and Niko go rapid fire on Big Tech spying, sending food back at restaurants, Anthony in Louisiana playing Rico Suave, hot dog fries, outlawing radio jingles, a World Cup halftime show, drunk swamp buck stories, and plenty more Maller mayhem.

Ben channels the spirit of Mark Twain on a wild Saturday edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast, proving once again that facts should never ruin a perfectly ridiculous story. From a cloak-and-dagger “pastry meetup” that turned into a full-blown emergency intervention with a Willie Wonka-style entrance, to tales of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow flexing historic power in Boston, this episode zigzags through the chaos of the 2026 Worcester Maller Meet & Greet. Add in Mike the Leprechaun’s one-man variety show, a sea of colorful humanity, and enough awkward social encounters to fill a documentary, and you’ve got another unforgettable Maller travel log.
