One random night watching a Yankees and Orioles game somehow turned Ben Maller into the executive producer and kingpin of "The Maller Matchmaker: Friend Edition," a completely spontaneous and unnecessary adventure some 2,300-miles away from the People's Republic of California, co-starring Marlins Man and Sports With Coleman. Because when you see Marlins Man behind home plate, naturally the next move is to start meddling in people’s lives. Along the way, Ben plays the adult version of Where’s Waldo?, while Bob Uecker, Don King, Casey Kasem-style “long-distance dedications,” and the Pentagon somehow wander into the story. Sure, why not? Then there’s the important historical investigation nobody requested: What clothing item did President Truman, Elvis Presley, Tom Selleck, and Jimmy Buffett help make popular? We also squeeze in the Atari 2600, Jonestown, and the philosophical dilemma that has tortured mankind for generations: What exactly qualifies as Kool-Aid? It’s Friday’s Fifth Hour — a perfectly normal podcast made by perfectly normal people, unless it's not.
