The Fifth Hour: Outrage Economy

On the latest Fifth Hour with Ben Maller, we ask the important questions that society has recklessly ignored. Why does Canada need a thing called Big Mustard? How did the Romans look at a toothache and think, "Yeah, this'll fix it"? Is disc golf an actual sport or just hiking with Frisbees? Why are clowns still employed? What's the deal with sticky sand? Sand isn't supposed to stick—that's the whole business model! We'll make a pit stop over Lake Winnebago, wander through the outrage economy where everyone's professionally offended, marvel at the psychological masterpiece known as buy one, get one free hot takes, and pay tribute to the crayon-eating fan boys who loudly complain while faithfully paying the bills. Plus, life inside a technological Bermuda Triangle for a P1, where chargers disappear, passwords evaporate, software updates arrive at the worst possible moment, and every gadget eventually decides, "You know what? I'm done." No hocus pocus, just focus... on absolutely everything you never knew you needed to think about.
