The podcast sweatshop is back open for business! Ben Maller bobs and weaves his way through another edition of the Friday Fifth Hour, sharing a surprisingly heartfelt story about a 40-plus-year Lakers employee he connected with through the magic of radio despite being a card-carrying member of the Lakers Haters Society of America. The Quote of the Week makes its triumphant return, and then things get wonderfully weird. Ben discovers that no actual garlic was harmed in the making of garlic sauce, learns you can buy Cotton Candy Cat Fur, celebrates the return of Fried Apple Pies, and investigates an Endless Shrimp Sweepstakes that sounds too good to be true for seafood fanatics. It's a grab bag of nonsense, nostalgia, oddities, and storytelling from the Nocturnal Colonel. Buckle up — because the road to nowhere has never been more entertaining.
