The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller

417

The overnight host on FOX Sports Radio is double-dipping by featuring a weekly podcast with unique content and entertaining guests that can not be heard on his radio show.

    Excellent Show!!!
    As one of the many listeners to both this podcast as well as the original recipe show, I felt compelled to write a review (not because Ben and Danny G are begging or anything!!!). I have been consuming the 5th hour pod from day one, and thoroughly enjoy the different interviews and topics that come up every weekend. Please keep up the good work!! Steve from Mn

    Wanted!
    Who are these guys? Well, they are the best podcasters out there. Get your weekend Maller fix here and learn more interesting facts than you can store in your brain. Danny G adds to the fun with his point-on drops, banter, and production excellence!

    Going to the dogs
    This show going to the dogs and that’s a great thing. The show about your new fur babies was spectacular. Love when you guys let us in And don’t worry, they say short lives but our first two English bulldogs both lived 13 years.

    Amazing Podcast
    Never before in the course of human events has there been such a confluence of sports and personal experience. It’s sarcastic, sardonic, insightful, and most of all entertaining. Ben and Danny are raconteurs par-excellence. I can’t wait for the next installment. John in Northern Colorado

    These guys never even ask for reviews, which is nice; so, figured I’d review out-of-the-kindness-of-my heart ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Quang Le, Vietnam

    It just came to me
    As a ramdom thought when I was watching my Vikings dominate the Raiders on Sunday that your podcast could use a note of encouragement! Unlike the Vikes offense without Cousins, your podcast never disappoints. Five Stars! Only because they don’t allow 6! Happy Hollidays gentlemen!

    Ben and Danny G have a great podcast and deserve great reviews. Management, I have a review for you. You are a one star. Back off having the guys pleading for reviews. Keep up the great work, Ben.

    Love Ben and Danny G!!
    I have enjoyed listening to the Ben Maller Show live while working nights since 2012! The Fifth Hour Podcast is just as good! Danny G compliments Big Ben very well. The shows are always funny and entertaining. I highly recommend listening to both the radio show and podcast, you will not be disappointed.

    Since I started listening to "The FifthHour", I have lost 10 pounds of weight, the thinnig hair on top of my head has started to grow back, and my gas mileage has increased by 5 percent. Your results may vary but the podcast is worth a listen.

    Keep up the great work.
    Gentleman, you guys rock. Huge fan of the show, weekend podcasts and Danny G. Hardest working crew in radio. Thanks!

    I’ve listened to The Real Fifth Hour for the last few years. The content and conversations with Ben and Danny G. are always interesting and entertaining. Their Pop Culture feature is informative and usually funny. Phrase or Word of the day brings the historical background of words or phrases to light. Love this Podcast! Thanks Ben and Danny G.

    Reviewing again :)
    I usually listen to my podcasts on the overcast app but I redownloaded the Apple podcast app just to write this review. This is the most under appreciated talent at Fox Sports radio. The addition of Danny G just made it all the better. I have been listening to Ben pretty much since the beginning since I go back to when Tony Bruno had the late shift back in the day. One of the only podcasts Darci and I listen to together. Joe and Darci in Florida

    Big Ben
    When I was trying to figure stuff out in my life.. I found myself homeless at one point.. listening to your weekly show gave me hope every single night. I’ve since turned things around I want to thank you for your witty way and passion for sports. Congratulations on BENNY VS THE PENNY. I guess William Shatner wasn’t too happy to hear about that! #BigBenForPresident

    5 Stars!
    What can I say? Two radio legends, Ben Maller brings the noise, he brings the comedy (I mean he's a Clippers fan, sometimes the jokes write themselves) and he puts his spin on topics worth debating, and he does it with no better cohort on the fifth hour than Danny G! (Or should I say Danny Gradio or better yet Daddy G? Congrats!) These guys give you what you need in a quick hour, to get you caught up on what's happening in sports and the world around sports. I am a long time listener to Maller on the radio, work schedule changed things but I'm recommitting to the Maller Militia as a podcast listener! Join the militia, you owe it to yourself and to the United States. God Bless America and God Bless Ben Mallerl (Hurry and download now, they have a special offer right now, usually $199.99 a year, you can subscribe for LIFE for a total of $0.00, what a deal!!!). PS: If Maller happens to read this, my contributions to the OG Maller show over the years were submitting the joke that got the "Hey" drop from Cooper in 2017...I of course have the email correspondence framed and hanging, and my goal was to have you say the "Hey" but you and your comedic genius had Cooper read it and Cooper fell for it, the email with you has been valued at over $17,000. I also submitted a listener song in Feb 2017 (parody of O.P.P. By Naughty by Nature), and it got played on the air, I have the voice memo's still on my phone from the six times it took me to nail it. I'm still in legal battles with their copyright lawyers with that fiasco, so I'd rather not say anymore. P1-Walnut (new nickname to keep the lawyers from finding me)

    4.9 Stars! Nobody’s perfect Ben and Danny!
    I have listened to all 23 hours a week 20 for the show and 3 for the fifth hour for 3 years now. Y’all are down to earth, anti-woke, and best of all I love the sarcasm. Keep up the good work! Hopefully y’all got another 20 years in you! Splenda Daddy Leesburg, AL

    Do you like sports? No? Well the good news is Big Ben and Danny G cover all sorts of topics in this ENTERTAINMENT FILLED show. This podcast has easily earned a 5 star review from me, and it should from you as well. I’m currently in my senior year of high school, and this as well as the overnight show have guided me throughout the past 11 months of my life. This duo never gets old, and can turn the simplest of topics into an engaging podcast. Thank you for the hours you’ve poured into working on this podcast you two! Keep up the good work! -Alex the Seahawks Fan

    My lips to God’s ears!
    Love the 5th Hour podcast!! Enjoy the dabbling into all aspects of sports and life! Listen to me “Powers that be” this podcast is a winner, winner, chicken dinner!! God bless you both, and congrats on Benny against the Penny, and Danny G’s newborn! Plus the added bonus is the dash of history sprinkled in with “The Phrase That Pays”, how would I ever know where Crossing the Rubicon came from?? 👍🏻 Thx Mike in Holland, MI…written while sitting at the beach on Lake Michigan!!
  • Hosspitality
    Worth a happy marriage? Absolutely!
    I’ve lived my whole life with the mindset that I NEVER give a perfect review on anything! Nothing is perfect! I’ve taught my wife of 10 years this, and our 2 amazing daughters. All that being said, Big Ben Maller and Danny G. have made me question everything I’ve ever known in life. I can’t give this incredible, entertaining, and informative podcast anything less than 5 stars! It would be criminal! As I type this, my wife is packing her things and taking the kids since they don’t know who I even am anymore. I’ll tell you who I am!! I’m a simple man that likes a great podcast! Who needs a wonderful family when you have the 5th Hour podcast? This show is worth the child support and alimony payments. 5 STARS!!!

    5 Star Content!
    I’m new at reviews, but feel that the Big Guys in the offices who read the reviews need to read this…these 2 guys, Ben Maller and Danny G deliver extremely relatable and consistently enjoyable content. Nuuumber Waaan, I’m a fan of the Dallas teams and although Big Ben eminates live from Northern CA, I can say that I would proudly request to take the Maller Militia Oath to listen to Ben and Danny G, whenever and on whatever platform I can find them. Nuuuumber Two, Good Job fellas! Thank you for your time, NativeAmericanMallerP1

    Big Ben Maller and Danny G will capture your hearts and minds chopping it up on The Fifth Hour. These guys provide hours of entertainment that will get you through any weekend! Download and listen and enjoy great interviews and discourse on the everyday life and times of Ben, Danny, and all the other shenanigans. I hope I’m doing this right, you gotta listen to The Fifth Hour or you’re missing out! -Farmer Charles

    Love Ben and Danny G, I don’t miss an episode! I’ve listened for many years back when West of the 405 was on. Danny G has been a great addition. Keep up the great and entertaining content! Marcie in little ol’ Whitney,TX.
  • Reno Pinball Mike
    Ben and Danny G. Start my weekends off with a smile.
    Ben and Danny G. entertain with talk just about “Stuff”. Doesn’t have to be complicated or sports just everyday chat about what is on their mind that night. I love it, thanks guys!
  • Ermaldude
    Not your typical sports takes
    Very entertaining podcast. The life and times of Ben and Danny G is a great listen. They have great chemistry and this podcast has a ton of momentum moving forward.

    Great podcast
    5 stars!! Yet another great episode. The alien talk was very interesting. I highly recommend listening to Ben and Danny G every episode.

    Entertaining Show
    Ben and Danny G. Always have something interesting to chat about. I work at a school so I can relate to Danny G.s stories about school. Ben has some great life hacks like getting points for using Bing. I listen to this podcast when I’m doing mundane weekend errands and chores it’s quite entertaining. Keep up the good work guys!

    There’s Big Ben And Then Everyone Else
    You and Danny G are so chill. I like this PC cuz you just get a good old conversation going. I want to call the show, but will follow up on that eventually. Best, Ray from the Bay
  • Titans420
    Really really decent show
    This show is VERY decent. One of the most decent shows of all time. I listen all the time, unless I’m doing something else. I started listening in jail. I couldn’t have asked for a better show to pass the time. Just needs more ufc news. Imo. I heard at THE SUBWAY RESTAURANT the show was gonna get nominated for an award and I gotta say i like the underdog story.

    If you enjoy fun facts, this is the podcast for you
    Alf the Alien Opiner - This is a rare and appropriate update to my Golden Ticket awarded previous review of the Fifth Hour podcast with Ben Maller and Daddy G. Radio. If you’ve never listened to this podcast, it’s a spin-off of the Ben Maller Show, the overnight juggernaut on Fox Sports Radio weeknights 2-6 am EST. The podcast is constantly evolving and only getting better. Tune in 8 days a week and catch up on old episodes and listen to new content every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. You can someday tell your friends that you were a listener to Ben Maller before he was awarded the Marconi for excellence in radio broadcasting, that is, if he is nominated for the aforementioned award by the people that care about this review.
  • Wilkes from Cincinnati
    Very enjoyable!
    Ben and Danny G! Who could ask for a better duo to carry an hour a week. I jumped all over this after hearing about it on Ben's surreal overnight show. Huge fan of both and really missed Danny G since the outkick show so whn I heard he was on here had to give it a listen. Haven't missed an espisode. Always look forward to the totally original Animal Kingdom because it just kind of reminds me of Animal Thunderdome although not similar at all. Don't even think about cancelling this show radio suits!
  • VOLSapologist
    He cut it into thirds
    Long time listener of “THE BEN MALLER SHOW” and listened to Ben and Danny G for the first time this weekend. I was pleasantly surprised. Ben obviously needs some coaching on cooking brisket. But it is a good show…unless it’s not.
  • King Harlold
    Not bad
    The podcast is pretty good.
  • Gene BK
    Relaxng Listening
    I've listened to The Ben Maller Show for twelve years....never called, never tweeted, but a loyal fan. Now, I'm even more hooked on The Fifth Hour, with Ben and Danny G. I guess some people listen while working or exercising, but I listen at the end of a busy day while I sit back and relax with refreshment. It's like sitting in the pub with a couple friends, listening to them chit chat about the many wrinkles in the fabric of daily life. It's totally enjoyable and appreciated. Thanks!

    Saturday’s Best Wind Down
    Awesome show as always. I listen every Saturday while working through the parks around my house.
  • Flagstaff Mike
    5 year tease
    What wonderful shows. I listen to every podcast of the Ben Maller Show and The Fifth Hour along with Danny G. I have to because I’m waiting for Ben to finish a 5 year tease about Darryl Strawberry’s reaction to L.A. being surrounded by fire. I happened to see that interview live- funny! Flagstaff Mike.

    Five Stars !
    You guys are all over the place with your non-sports topics but “The DannyG.Show feat.Ben Maller” definitely rates 5⭐️s. As long as the insufferable GasCan isn’t there to ruin the chemistry.
  • B 90210
    Wonderful Pair
    Just as a fine wine pairs nicely with an interesting stinky cheese (that's a funny), Danny G pairs nicely with Ben Maller, and the 5th hour pairs nicely with The Ben Maller Show. So glad the two of you put forth the extra time to make weekend content that keeps me tuned in to Fox sports radio and not have to seek out another station. Never disappointed, Love it and keep it up.
  • Lildevil24
    Love the show!
    I have been authorized by Brigadier General Jason in Rocky Mount to leave a 5 star review. Thanks for keeping my husband entertained while he is at work and on the weekend. I have also come to love your show when I can listen. You rock! This is Melissa in Rocky Mount, VA

    I try to catch the pod every weekend I enjoy hearing about the lives of Ben and Danny G. I give this pod an A+ with a side of deep dish pizza. #mallerMilitia

    Earbud magic
    If your earbuds need auditory stimulation The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller is the podcast for you! This podcast needs to come with a warning though, that’s right The Fifth Hour is addictive—like Jed who Fled on meth you will be hooked with your first ear sampling of this podcast. But pace yourself for all 3 days of this foray into an auditory smorgasbord of information, backstories, non-sporto questions and pop culture quizzes…Ben Maller is the Michelangelo of the podcast world painting verbal masterpieces all weekend long on the Fifth Hour. So, sit back, relax and let your earbuds be verbally caressed all weekend. P.S. I think i missed a spot.

    Truly Audio Art! A giant speaker playing this amazing podcast on a 24/7 loop should replace the Mona Misa at the Louvre Museum. P.S: F*** Blind Scott, he’s a terrible person and a fraud. -ROBBIEtheMARINERSfan
