Ben Maller clocks back into the audio sweatshop, firing up the Fifth Hour remote studio to chronicle the great “Calling Dick” saga — a full-blown hostage negotiation to get the legendary Dick in Dayton a ride to the Maller Meet & Greet in Cincinnati. Will he make it, or is this another transportation cold case? Plus, Ben serves up a crispy Maller Monologue on the origin of the high five — from Dodger lore to playground betrayal (“too slow!”). It’s road trips, radio legends, and random history, all mashed together in classic, off-the-rails Fifth Hour fashion.
