He's the last remnants 0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:12.600 of the old Republic, a soul fash of fairness. He 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.640 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:17.600 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:18.520 Wow. 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.440 The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:30.760 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:35.640 In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:41.040 and Danny g Radio Welcome into the audio domain. No 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:45.640 days off, in fact, not only no days off, double 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.720 header action some days and Danny, we're back at It 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:54.720 is the tenth day of November. We're not that far 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.720 away from Thanksgivings right around the corner'tis the time to 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:02.280 start putting up Christmas. There's actually somebody in the neighborhood 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.840 that put up their Christmas lights already, which is annoying. 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.480 It's the time of the year where our wives and 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:12.039 girlfriends start ordering even more crap off of Amazon to 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.160 put in front of our doorsteps every day. 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.360 Yeah yeah, so I think the rule is the rules 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.080 changed over the years of those in terms of like 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.080 decoration and I don't want to go down that road 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.280 too far. But it's just like it was shocking that, 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:31.800 like right after Halloween somebody put up their holiday stuff 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:33.760 and I just noticed it. But I'm like, you know, 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.880 it's like it used to be right after Thanksgiving people 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.800 would put holiday stuff up. But it's I understand why 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:42.800 people do it, and I understand why stores do it, 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:44.600 Like Costco. You go to Costco, they got all their 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.640 Christmas stuff up. Because this is the biggest money maker 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.240 Wright's business, one oh one, biggest money maker first of all. 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:56.160 And secondly, you can elongate it. Instead of only doing 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.160 it for one month, you can do it for two 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.080 months or three months and. 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.360 Just keep going Anyway. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:11.360 The podcast today, we've got catlike reflexes, Cliff Hangar, foody. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.160 Fun and we. 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.520 Love words, so we do the phrase of the day, 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.120 the phrase of the day. But we start with this 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:26.560 and we begin with a new weekend, which means another 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:32.440 opportunity to do regional cable television. It is episode ten. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.720 We have made it to double digits. If you thought 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.480 we were going to be canceled after two episodes, you're wrong, 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.320 or five episodes. Somehow, the people at NBC have been 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.360 asleep at the switch and they have let the show 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:52.320 run and it's actually getting better, which is rather shocking. 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.840 But we are in our tenth episode this weekend. It 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:02.280 starts airing today, very exciting stuff. As we head back, 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.000 I was hanging out all day yesterday at Universal Studios 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:10.480 putting the show together as we we've I say, all day, 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.799 which is really a lot because most of the time 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.280 is just trying to come up with notes and stuff. 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.960 The actual taping of the show, it doesn't take that 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:20.799 it's only a half hour show. It doesn't take that long. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.160 The first episode took forever. But we've got it now 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.640 where it's kind of like an assembly line, which is 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.880 pretty cool, and so we're happy about that, and the 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.000 people are happy that work on the show, the crew 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.920 in Boston because they don't have to stay there all 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.080 day waiting for numb nuts, the two of us to 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.880 get the show done. And as far as when the 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.839 show is going to air, it changes all the time 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.400 now because of the NBA and the NHL, so it's 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:52.400 it's a wee bit different each weekend. And I try 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.920 to lead you down a path as a regular minion 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.640 to the fifth hour, but you're supposed to check your 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.560 local TV listings. That's the goal. But for example, tonight, 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.960 we normally air at seven thirty in Boston. For some reason, 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:06.920 they decided to air the Celtics game tonight. 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:07.720 I don't know why. 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.000 I think Benny Versus the Penny would have done better 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.840 than the Celtic game. But we're gonna be on after 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.720 the Celtic game tonight in Boston, which is the flagship 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.400 of Benny Versus the Penny. So that'll be tonight, and 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.440 we have back to back at Encore showing at eleven 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:28.000 o'clock and eleven thirty after the Celtics play the Brooklyn 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:33.720 Nets in thrilling NBA action and interesting schedule in Philadelphia. 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:38.520 Normally the show airs on Friday in Philadelphia, but I 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.920 looked at the schedule, the seventy six Ers are playing 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.520 and then right after that the Flyers are out where 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.560 we are there in Anaheim, and so NBC Sports Philadelphia 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.400 is gonna air both those games, which pretty much eats 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.039 all of their airtime when the show would air. So 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:59.480 we're gonna air on Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia at three 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.080 point thirty in the afternoon. We are on in Chicago 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.120 tonight on NBC Sports Chicago at ten. 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.200 O'clock in the Bay Area. 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.680 Got a couple of showings today at Benny Versus the 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.880 Penny six o'clock and ten pm, and we'll also be 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:18.400 on in LA. The Lakers aren't playing on on Saturday, 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:23.320 so four showings of Benny Versus the Penny in the 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:27.400 LA market on Saturday at six am three pm. 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.520 Do you know, Ben, last weekend I caught the show 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:35.120 early Sunday morning on the Lakers channel at seven am. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:36.000 Yeah. 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:37.719 The fact that you were up at seven am on 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.280 a Sunday morning, that must be sun related. That must 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.039 be the little Man. 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:44.600 It was podcast related. 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.880 Oh okay, well there you go. That well that's true, 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:47.680 there you go. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.279 But also on one screen I had that early morning 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.200 Germany game on oh okay, yeah, and then on my 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.360 nice iPad I had Benny Versus the Penny. I had 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.080 your volume up and I had the football game volume 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:03.800 all the way down. 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:08.440 Well that's the right way to do it wrong, that's 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.120 probably so anyway, And we'll be on Spectrum Sportsnet so 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:16.880 call at six am Saturday, three pm, seven pm at 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.280 eleven pm, and then the usual showing in New York 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:24.919 on Sunday at eleven thirty am. That's been pretty consistent. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.560 That's been our window on SNY and New York. So 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.320 we'll be on on Sunday. And as an added bonus, 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.760 since you listen to this podcast, I would like to 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:43.200 point out that we had almost a disaster, but because 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:47.440 of my cat like reflexes. There was one moment I 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.760 was trying to remember a point I wanted to make, 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:56.520 and while I was getting to the point, there was 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.880 a slip. There's a little bit of a slip of 0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:05.640 the tongue, but I did catch myself. I think it 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.960 got by the sensors at NBC. They allowed it to air, 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.680 so we'll see what happens, but see if you can notice. 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:14.680 I'm not going to say when it happened in the show. 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.240 It's only a half hour show. But there was one 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.560 point where I was scrambling to make a point and 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.640 it's all I got to remember all this crap I 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.160 don't have, Like Loony's got a teleprompter, I don't have 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.760 a I don't have a teleprompters. It's got to remember everything. 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.360 And I was trying to remember and I had it 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.160 in my head and then it kind of came out 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.720 the wrong way, but I think I caught myself, So 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.440 there is that. So anyway, check it out. 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.559 Love love that. I've gotten a lot of feedback people. 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:46.800 When I really loved Dannie is when people take photos 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.800 at like bars and stuff after games. That's really cool. 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.800 I have a climbate loser. I have a collection of 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.560 those those photographs. I like those. 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.160 How are you doing in New York? Like, are the 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.840 New York liking it? Or are they flicking their thumb 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:02.960 at you? 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:03.280 No? 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.160 No, New York is the degenerate gamblers any any kind 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:13.040 of gambling information. It's very precious. But I'm not my 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.920 guy fun House, who is an old mal or militia guy, 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:20.120 the guy that trolls Mike Francesa all the time on X. 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.360 He used to be he's not up now. He used 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:25.720 to have a job where he was up all night. 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.280 I know, I know him a little bit and he 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.760 would listen to the Overnight show. So I'm trying to 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.960 get him to promote the show, but he's I don't 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.200 I don't think he wants to do it because he 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.679 only does like negative crap, but he likes ripping people, 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.439 and I don't think you want I mean so far, 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.720 he hasn't he hasn't gone down that road. So but 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.120 because of my cat like reflexes, we were able to 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:51.200 save it. Now, this was an odd week. That's Friday, 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.240 the weekends here, and there was a story that happened 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.679 locally in southern California here that. 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:01.199 Really had me shook up. 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.040 And it's one of those things you think, well, that's 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.560 not gonna Who cares about that? You know, what's going 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:11.440 on with you? No big deal. So when I was 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.760 growing up I've talked about this a little bit in 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.000 the past. When I was growing up in southern California 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:20.920 as a kid, I grew up in the Irvine area, 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.520 and there was nothing there, Like it's a big if 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:26.800 you know, I don't know if you know the area 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.800 of southern California. Most people are listening outside of Southern California. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.520 But there's a there's a win is a pretty large city. 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.840 There's a university there. You see Irvine, which it was 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.959 there when I was a kid. But pretty much all 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:43.640 we had growing up as a kid in in the 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:51.360 OC was orange groves. We had other agricultural other farming stuffs, 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:56.640 farming town, and we also had back back in the day. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.000 We were surrounded by two military bases. We had on 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:04.720 one side the El Toro Air Station, which was cool 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.960 because we got the Blue Angels every year. They had 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.920 a big air show. And it was also cool because 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.880 when I was a kid, I have memories of when 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:20.600 the President would come to come to La or California, 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.240 they would land the plane at the El Toro. 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:26.360 Air Station. 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.280 So I would go there, and I remember when I 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.520 was a kid, Ronald Reagan the Air Force one we 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.400 all went out there to see the plane. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.120 It was pretty cool. 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.480 It was pretty neat, So that was on one side, 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.880 and it was a pretty decent sized military base and everyone. 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.200 So I've talked about this past, but if you weren't listening, 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.440 I had a buddy of mine because the kids would 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.680 go to school with us where I went to school, 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.920 and one of the kids would take even invite me 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:54.439 to the base. And we went to the base and 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.400 it was awesome. The general store on the base they 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:01.680 didn't charge tax so I just loaded up, you know, 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.640 I loaded up on all the candy and all that 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.560 crap because I don't have to pay taxes. I'm saving 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.760 a bunch of money here. It was great, so that 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.880 was on one side, and then on the other side 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:19.280 was the Tustin Military Base, the Tustin Air Station. Now 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.360 all of these are closed. Now they're all they're all closed. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.400 But the story popped up and I don't know if 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.319 anybody saw it outside this, but it was a Marine 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:32.600 Corps air station Tustin, which is long defunct. It's been 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:38.760 been gone for probably thirty years. But they had built 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.480 in the era of the world of World War Two. 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:51.600 They built these massive hangars to hide planes and blimps. 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.680 And you know, they were worried about Uh, you got 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.440 to think World War two. As I was told the story, 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.400 it was you think of Pearl Harbor. They were worried 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:00.800 that there was. 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:01.880 Gonna be like an invasion. 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:03.960 They would have had to hide everything. I think that 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:05.400 was part of the reason they did it. But they 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:13.000 build these giant, massive, domed hangars. That's part of the 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:18.600 story here. These things, When I say massive, seventeen stories tall, 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:24.240 more than a thousand feet long, they're like three hundred feet. 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:28.640 Why these things are amaz, They're humongous. And so when 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:32.200 I was a kid growing up between two military bases, 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.640 we'd go to the air show at the Eltoral Marine base, 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.240 and then we'd go they had an open house where 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.520 we could like walk through, and it was so long 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.960 ago they didn't give a crap we were walk through. 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:47.920 They sit in tanks and the fighter jets. We could 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.520 like sit in the cockpit of the It was ridiculous. 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.720 They would never do that kind of stuff these days anyway. 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.040 So I have very find memories of that, and these 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:01.000 these things are all gone. But the massive hangars there 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:05.319 were two of them. Gigantic hangars again thousand feet long. 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:11.960 Just imagine how big that is, seventeen stories high, very wide, 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.439 and they were made out of wood. 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.040 Crazy. I'm looking at pictures of them right now. 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:22.439 Yeah, and this week one of them randomly burned down. 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:27.320 They were still there. They were grandfathered in. I think 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:31.720 they were named a historical landmark because they go back 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.480 to the I think they were originally built in the 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.679 nineteen forties, so I think they're over eighty years old. 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.200 The wire was so large that they had to use 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:45.079 a helicopter. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:53.040 Yeah, it's ridiculous, And so I was really I was 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:57.360 really bummed out because growing up those things. Wherever I was, 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:59.720 where I grew up, I could look out and see 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:01.839 the hang there that they were so much taller than 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.200 everything else because there was just orange groves, and so 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.080 no matter where you were, you could see these massive hangars. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:13.560 And the other night this week there was a random fire, 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:19.400 which common sense would say probably somebody started and and 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.600 he used to run. I went from one side to 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:23.320 the other. It seemed like it took forever because it 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.480 was so long. But the photos on this, if you 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:32.800 want to see some wild photos of massive hangar burning up, 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:38.400 was just insane, Like it looked like into the world stuff, 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:44.000 the photos of the thing burning and it was crazy. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.720 So I was bummed out about that. And then as 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:52.560 an added a little added bonus here, it turns out 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.760 that the hangars are filled with asbestis. 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.520 Oh no, so they have just dropped. 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:06.520 Uh, there's a air air quality crisis in that area 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:13.440 because they just shot up as best as all over 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:19.960 that part of Orange County. So it's pretty pretty crazy. 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.280 So there's all kinds of way. They closed the schools 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:29.280 around there, and they are all kinds of of health 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.360 concerns because yeah, these things were built. They didn't really 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.000 give a crap about the as Best this back then, 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.600 they didn't know it was. It was bad for you, 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:45.280 and so anyway, that's that's the the story. Now they're 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.120 trying to figure out what are they gonna do, because. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.320 I guess it's kind of a weird thing. 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:54.280 They were empty, but the Navy still kind of overlooked them, 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.000 even though they were like it was a marine base, 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.120 but it was the Navy would would overlook everything. They 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:04.280 had to declare a state of emergency because of that, 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:09.040 And they've actually filmed a bunch of TV shows and 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.160 movies over the years. These things are so massive and 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:15.080 they closed thirty years ago. The fires started like in 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:16.960 the middle of the night. But some of the shows 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.320 that it's pretty crazy, some of the shows and movies 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:23.200 they filmed, and these things. Austin Powers, the Spy who 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:28.160 Shagged Me? They filmed some of that inside one of 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:28.960 the hangars there. 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:30.360 Oh wow. 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:31.840 Yeah. 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:35.000 They there was a time machine in the shape of 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:41.320 a Volkswagen Beetle that could transport Mike Myers to nineteen 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:45.720 sixty nine, and so they filmed that there. There was 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:52.200 like a bunch of old old movies in the World 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:58.000 War two period. There was a Pearl Harbor movie actually 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:02.120 in two thousand and one that the Pearl Harvey movie 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.399 and then before that, there was a Hindenberg movie they 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:09.320 filmed there, a bunch of other random stuff. So anyway, 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:14.520 it's it's kind of crazy that that thing's not there anymore. 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.159 I just just assumed, because it was once it was 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.280 given the title of having special status that it was, 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.119 they couldn't tear it down. You just assumed I was 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.399 gonna be there long after I'm gone. You know, it's 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.120 not gonna go anywhere. They also filmed I think I said, 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:34.400 the Star Trek and that was in nine reboot. They 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:35.720 filmed film there. 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:37.840 So anyway they're gonna tear that thing down. 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.800 There's one hangar left, so if they're gonna tear that 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:47.879 one down also, But yeah, I nostalgic, man, I was 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.760 flashing back. It was. It was a cliffhanger. As I 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.879 was thinking back to walking through those who as a 0:17:52.880 --> 0:18:00.280 little kid, and and how ominous, uh just massive those 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.120 things those things were. 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.360 You would figure that there would have to be some 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.000 cameras trained on these things, right, I mean. 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.040 I don't know, I don't know. 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.199 Well, the big rumor I'm talking to people that live 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.440 around there, and the big rumor is that, yeah, there's 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.840 conspiracy theories that it was it was it started. I 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.879 don't think most of in an empty wooden hangar, a 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:28.320 massive cavernous hangar, a fire is not gonna just start 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:30.399 on its own. I don't think, right, you would common 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:32.720 sense would say, well, it's like there was no lightning. 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:38.200 It wasn't raining. Yeah, unless there's some old electrical panel 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.600 that or something. 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:44.080 Possibly, but that's very valuable real estate. 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.800 So the theory is that somebody went in there and 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:50.560 you know, did did what they did, and then they'll 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:55.240 eventually build build a bunch of condos or houses or whatever. 0:18:56.720 --> 0:19:01.840 Yeah, same conspiracy theories we were hearing after the Maui fires. 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:07.280 Oh yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, whatever happened, it's just 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.800 like every other big story, like the Maui thing. 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.080 A bunch of people died, it was terrible. 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.920 And the media runs in to document everything, and then 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:17.679 after a couple of weeks they move on. It's like 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:18.840 people are still there. 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:22.560 But yeah, yeah, it's like the news channels get tired 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:26.919 of certain stories after they hit on it way too hard. 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.240 Then they leave it alone way too much. And I 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:35.280 bet you that Oprah and the Rock are busy buying 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:39.720 tons of the burn properties right now because nobody's watching anymore. 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.840 What I bet you those two are going to be 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:44.360 the rulers of Maui. 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.879 And that enclave of that part of Maui that like 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:50.760 all the locals will be gone and they'll just put 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.919 like you know, massive houses or resort like another resort 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:54.640 or something like that. 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.040 We have I love words. We love words, So we 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:02.640 have a fray lease of the day. 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:06.959 We will do another phrase tomorrow because there's some other options. 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:09.959 We're on weekly, so it'd be the phrase of the week. 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:12.840 Well no, but if we do a phrase tomorrow, it 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.160 can be the phrase of the day today and tomorrow 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:16.879 can be the phrase of the week. That way we 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:18.760 can or we can have phrase the week, phrase of 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:20.520 the week times too. Yeah. 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:21.080 Both. 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.240 We do the phrase a Friday. 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:31.160 Friday's phrase. A Friday phrase is the phrase of the week. 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:33.359 You know you want that day and we'll give you that. 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:38.000 Is down to the wire, down to the wire, down 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:38.760 to the wire. We go. 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:43.560 Hear that in horse racing exactly. Most people have heard 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:47.000 that over the years. It's a situation where it's not 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:50.679 going to be decided until the very end. Like most 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:53.919 NBA games are close with three minutes to go in 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:56.080 the game, and whoever makes. 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:57.960 More baskets in the last three minutes is gonna win. 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:01.119 And football games usually pretty close going to the fourth quarter, 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:05.240 so somebody it ends in the final final part of 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:05.800 it till. 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:09.280 The very last moment. So the phrase down to the wire. 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.480 It did originate in horse racing, but I didn't know 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.159 what it meant exactly why I was down to the wire? 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:17.200 What's the reference? 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:21.800 So in the early days of horse racing, there was 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:26.199 a wire that was hung above the finish line and 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:30.760 they used that to help determine the winner. Let's see 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:33.320 who is down to the wire? You have to cross 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:37.960 the wire. And since the races as they still are, 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:39.679 we've had a race. We'll talk more about that, I'm 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:44.440 sure on Saturday. But the races were very close and they. 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:46.000 Just sat coming down to the wire. 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:50.560 And the first time that phrase down to the wire 0:21:50.720 --> 0:22:00.800 was used in writing was in eighteen eighty nine Scribner's magazine. 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:04.600 There was an article titled how the Derby Was Won 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:09.199 was the title, and so that's the first time. I'm 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:11.440 sure it was used before that, but that is the 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:15.240 first time. So the phrase of the week coming to 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:19.879 us from the world of horse racing down to the wire, 0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:23.320 down to the this podcast day the fifth Hour podcast 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:26.639 in many respects, down to the wire. Right, we're down 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.879 to the wire. But I think we need to have 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:31.600 some foody fund. What do you say. 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:34.000 Let's do it all right. 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:38.159 We all have to eat, and let's eat. Let's enjoy food. 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:44.440 And today's Veterans Day, So major salute to both active 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:48.879 duty and veterans who served in the military. 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:50.000 So thank you. 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:53.680 And as a result of your service, I am not eligible, 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:57.359 but you are eligible to get a lot of free crap. 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:00.720 There are a bunch of restaurant chains offer bring free 0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:04.280 meals and discounts. And my advice is, if you spent 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:06.520 your time in the military, take full advantage of all 0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:10.720 all of this. Just get really fat all day.
