  • Not as good as it used to be.

    The show has declined a lot. IHeart canned Eddie Garcia, they moved Danny G off the show and now have this LeReina who never stops interrupting the show with cringe content. The woke management thought a late night guys show would want this, we do not.

    Scott Shapiro should be fired for this.

  • Exceptional

    Ben Maller possesses the most creative mind in radio. His endless stream of wit and mind bending analogies strains the English language to the breaking point. His merry band of “Maller militia” arrive fully baked from a Fellini movie. Together they make the Baba ganoush. Tune in for a taste.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 4 - Poppin' A Wheelie
Q: What is Kyler Murray looking for with his next NFL team?
The host speculates Murray seeks the right football situation, emphasizing coaching, scheme, weapons, and a supportive environment, while injecting gamer-friendly considerations like Wi‑Fi and snacks.
The Fifth Hour: Robby Inc. - Sacred Grounds Book
Q: What is your favorite part about the ballpark stories, and do you have a favorite venue to feature?
I love the human side—the cooks, attendants, and staff who keep the ballpark running—as much as the on-field moments; Pittsburgh's PNC Park stands out for its beauty and city skyline, but every ballpark offers unique character that enriches the storytelling.
The Fifth Hour: Robby Inc. - Sacred Grounds Book
Q: What inspired you to write this book and how did your background as a TV reporter inform it?
My long tenure as a TV reporter allowed me to build deep relationships and to see how many crucial, unseen details shape the game's atmosphere; those connections and stories became the backbone of Sacred Grounds, offering a tour of ballparks through people's memories and photos that fans rarely get to hear.
The Fifth Hour: Robby Inc. - Sacred Grounds Book
Q: Explain Sacred Grounds, Robby, what this project's all about.
Sacred Grounds documents the ballpark experience across all 30 MLB venues, pairing ballpark photography with interviews and stories from people behind the scenes, from press dining staff to former players, to shed light on the often overlooked day-of-game experiences and city connections.
Hour 3 - Just Another Fish Story
Q: What is your favorite muscle car?
Ben and Lorena each offer their preferences, with Ben leaning toward a Corvette and Lorena citing the 1970 Barracuda in purple, reflecting light, jokingly, their personalities through car talk.
