Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fash of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 3: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler
Speaker 3: and Danny g Radio Welcome into the audio domain. No
Speaker 3: days off, in fact, not only no days off, double
Speaker 3: header action some days and Danny, we're back at It
Speaker 3: is the tenth day of November. We're not that far
Speaker 3: away from Thanksgivings right around the corner'tis the time to
Speaker 3: start putting up Christmas. There's actually somebody in the neighborhood
Speaker 3: that put up their Christmas lights already, which is annoying.
Speaker 4: It's the time of the year where our wives and
Speaker 4: girlfriends start ordering even more crap off of Amazon to
Speaker 4: put in front of our doorsteps every day.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, so I think the rule is the rules
Speaker 3: changed over the years of those in terms of like
Speaker 3: decoration and I don't want to go down that road
Speaker 3: too far. But it's just like it was shocking that,
Speaker 3: like right after Halloween somebody put up their holiday stuff
Speaker 3: and I just noticed it. But I'm like, you know,
Speaker 3: it's like it used to be right after Thanksgiving people
Speaker 3: would put holiday stuff up. But it's I understand why
Speaker 3: people do it, and I understand why stores do it,
Speaker 3: Like Costco. You go to Costco, they got all their
Speaker 3: Christmas stuff up. Because this is the biggest money maker
Speaker 3: Wright's business, one oh one, biggest money maker first of all.
Speaker 3: And secondly, you can elongate it. Instead of only doing
Speaker 3: it for one month, you can do it for two
Speaker 3: months or three months and.
Speaker 1: Just keep going Anyway.
Speaker 3: The podcast today, we've got catlike reflexes, Cliff Hangar, foody.
Speaker 1: Fun and we.
Speaker 3: Love words, so we do the phrase of the day,
Speaker 3: the phrase of the day. But we start with this
Speaker 3: and we begin with a new weekend, which means another
Speaker 3: opportunity to do regional cable television. It is episode ten.
Speaker 3: We have made it to double digits. If you thought
Speaker 3: we were going to be canceled after two episodes, you're wrong,
Speaker 3: or five episodes. Somehow, the people at NBC have been
Speaker 3: asleep at the switch and they have let the show
Speaker 3: run and it's actually getting better, which is rather shocking.
Speaker 3: But we are in our tenth episode this weekend. It
Speaker 3: starts airing today, very exciting stuff. As we head back,
Speaker 3: I was hanging out all day yesterday at Universal Studios
Speaker 3: putting the show together as we we've I say, all day,
Speaker 3: which is really a lot because most of the time
Speaker 3: is just trying to come up with notes and stuff.
Speaker 3: The actual taping of the show, it doesn't take that
Speaker 3: it's only a half hour show. It doesn't take that long.
Speaker 3: The first episode took forever. But we've got it now
Speaker 3: where it's kind of like an assembly line, which is
Speaker 3: pretty cool, and so we're happy about that, and the
Speaker 3: people are happy that work on the show, the crew
Speaker 3: in Boston because they don't have to stay there all
Speaker 3: day waiting for numb nuts, the two of us to
Speaker 3: get the show done. And as far as when the
Speaker 3: show is going to air, it changes all the time
Speaker 3: now because of the NBA and the NHL, so it's
Speaker 3: it's a wee bit different each weekend. And I try
Speaker 3: to lead you down a path as a regular minion
Speaker 3: to the fifth hour, but you're supposed to check your
Speaker 3: local TV listings. That's the goal. But for example, tonight,
Speaker 3: we normally air at seven thirty in Boston. For some reason,
Speaker 3: they decided to air the Celtics game tonight.
Speaker 1: I don't know why.
Speaker 3: I think Benny Versus the Penny would have done better
Speaker 3: than the Celtic game. But we're gonna be on after
Speaker 3: the Celtic game tonight in Boston, which is the flagship
Speaker 3: of Benny Versus the Penny. So that'll be tonight, and
Speaker 3: we have back to back at Encore showing at eleven
Speaker 3: o'clock and eleven thirty after the Celtics play the Brooklyn
Speaker 3: Nets in thrilling NBA action and interesting schedule in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: Normally the show airs on Friday in Philadelphia, but I
Speaker 3: looked at the schedule, the seventy six Ers are playing
Speaker 3: and then right after that the Flyers are out where
Speaker 3: we are there in Anaheim, and so NBC Sports Philadelphia
Speaker 3: is gonna air both those games, which pretty much eats
Speaker 3: all of their airtime when the show would air. So
Speaker 3: we're gonna air on Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia at three
Speaker 3: point thirty in the afternoon. We are on in Chicago
Speaker 3: tonight on NBC Sports Chicago at ten.
Speaker 1: O'clock in the Bay Area.
Speaker 3: Got a couple of showings today at Benny Versus the
Speaker 3: Penny six o'clock and ten pm, and we'll also be
Speaker 3: on in LA. The Lakers aren't playing on on Saturday,
Speaker 3: so four showings of Benny Versus the Penny in the
Speaker 3: LA market on Saturday at six am three pm.
Speaker 4: Do you know, Ben, last weekend I caught the show
Speaker 4: early Sunday morning on the Lakers channel at seven am.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The fact that you were up at seven am on
Speaker 3: a Sunday morning, that must be sun related. That must
Speaker 3: be the little Man.
Speaker 4: It was podcast related.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well there you go. That well that's true,
Speaker 1: there you go.
Speaker 4: But also on one screen I had that early morning
Speaker 4: Germany game on oh okay, yeah, and then on my
Speaker 4: nice iPad I had Benny Versus the Penny. I had
Speaker 4: your volume up and I had the football game volume
Speaker 4: all the way down.
Speaker 3: Well that's the right way to do it wrong, that's
Speaker 3: probably so anyway, And we'll be on Spectrum Sportsnet so
Speaker 3: call at six am Saturday, three pm, seven pm at
Speaker 3: eleven pm, and then the usual showing in New York
Speaker 3: on Sunday at eleven thirty am. That's been pretty consistent.
Speaker 3: That's been our window on SNY and New York. So
Speaker 3: we'll be on on Sunday. And as an added bonus,
Speaker 3: since you listen to this podcast, I would like to
Speaker 3: point out that we had almost a disaster, but because
Speaker 3: of my cat like reflexes. There was one moment I
Speaker 3: was trying to remember a point I wanted to make,
Speaker 3: and while I was getting to the point, there was
Speaker 3: a slip. There's a little bit of a slip of
Speaker 3: the tongue, but I did catch myself. I think it
Speaker 3: got by the sensors at NBC. They allowed it to air,
Speaker 3: so we'll see what happens, but see if you can notice.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say when it happened in the show.
Speaker 3: It's only a half hour show. But there was one
Speaker 3: point where I was scrambling to make a point and
Speaker 3: it's all I got to remember all this crap I
Speaker 3: don't have, Like Loony's got a teleprompter, I don't have
Speaker 3: a I don't have a teleprompters. It's got to remember everything.
Speaker 3: And I was trying to remember and I had it
Speaker 3: in my head and then it kind of came out
Speaker 3: the wrong way, but I think I caught myself, So
Speaker 3: there is that. So anyway, check it out.
Speaker 1: Love love that. I've gotten a lot of feedback people.
Speaker 3: When I really loved Dannie is when people take photos
Speaker 3: at like bars and stuff after games. That's really cool.
Speaker 3: I have a climbate loser. I have a collection of
Speaker 3: those those photographs. I like those.
Speaker 4: How are you doing in New York? Like, are the
Speaker 4: New York liking it? Or are they flicking their thumb
Speaker 4: at you?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: No, New York is the degenerate gamblers any any kind
Speaker 3: of gambling information. It's very precious. But I'm not my
Speaker 3: guy fun House, who is an old mal or militia guy,
Speaker 3: the guy that trolls Mike Francesa all the time on X.
Speaker 3: He used to be he's not up now. He used
Speaker 3: to have a job where he was up all night.
Speaker 3: I know, I know him a little bit and he
Speaker 3: would listen to the Overnight show. So I'm trying to
Speaker 3: get him to promote the show, but he's I don't
Speaker 3: I don't think he wants to do it because he
Speaker 3: only does like negative crap, but he likes ripping people,
Speaker 3: and I don't think you want I mean so far,
Speaker 3: he hasn't he hasn't gone down that road. So but
Speaker 3: because of my cat like reflexes, we were able to
Speaker 3: save it. Now, this was an odd week. That's Friday,
Speaker 3: the weekends here, and there was a story that happened
Speaker 3: locally in southern California here that.
Speaker 1: Really had me shook up.
Speaker 3: And it's one of those things you think, well, that's
Speaker 3: not gonna Who cares about that? You know, what's going
Speaker 3: on with you? No big deal. So when I was
Speaker 3: growing up I've talked about this a little bit in
Speaker 3: the past. When I was growing up in southern California
Speaker 3: as a kid, I grew up in the Irvine area,
Speaker 3: and there was nothing there, Like it's a big if
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know if you know the area
Speaker 3: of southern California. Most people are listening outside of Southern California.
Speaker 3: But there's a there's a win is a pretty large city.
Speaker 3: There's a university there. You see Irvine, which it was
Speaker 3: there when I was a kid. But pretty much all
Speaker 3: we had growing up as a kid in in the
Speaker 3: OC was orange groves. We had other agricultural other farming stuffs,
Speaker 3: farming town, and we also had back back in the day.
Speaker 3: We were surrounded by two military bases. We had on
Speaker 3: one side the El Toro Air Station, which was cool
Speaker 3: because we got the Blue Angels every year. They had
Speaker 3: a big air show. And it was also cool because
Speaker 3: when I was a kid, I have memories of when
Speaker 3: the President would come to come to La or California,
Speaker 3: they would land the plane at the El Toro.
Speaker 1: Air Station.
Speaker 3: So I would go there, and I remember when I
Speaker 3: was a kid, Ronald Reagan the Air Force one we
Speaker 3: all went out there to see the plane.
Speaker 1: It was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: It was pretty neat, So that was on one side,
Speaker 3: and it was a pretty decent sized military base and everyone.
Speaker 3: So I've talked about this past, but if you weren't listening,
Speaker 3: I had a buddy of mine because the kids would
Speaker 3: go to school with us where I went to school,
Speaker 3: and one of the kids would take even invite me
Speaker 3: to the base. And we went to the base and
Speaker 3: it was awesome. The general store on the base they
Speaker 3: didn't charge tax so I just loaded up, you know,
Speaker 3: I loaded up on all the candy and all that
Speaker 3: crap because I don't have to pay taxes. I'm saving
Speaker 3: a bunch of money here. It was great, so that
Speaker 3: was on one side, and then on the other side
Speaker 3: was the Tustin Military Base, the Tustin Air Station. Now
Speaker 3: all of these are closed. Now they're all they're all closed.
Speaker 3: But the story popped up and I don't know if
Speaker 3: anybody saw it outside this, but it was a Marine
Speaker 3: Corps air station Tustin, which is long defunct. It's been
Speaker 3: been gone for probably thirty years. But they had built
Speaker 3: in the era of the world of World War Two.
Speaker 3: They built these massive hangars to hide planes and blimps.
Speaker 3: And you know, they were worried about Uh, you got
Speaker 3: to think World War two. As I was told the story,
Speaker 3: it was you think of Pearl Harbor. They were worried
Speaker 3: that there was.
Speaker 1: Gonna be like an invasion.
Speaker 3: They would have had to hide everything. I think that
Speaker 3: was part of the reason they did it. But they
Speaker 3: build these giant, massive, domed hangars. That's part of the
Speaker 3: story here. These things, When I say massive, seventeen stories tall,
Speaker 3: more than a thousand feet long, they're like three hundred feet.
Speaker 3: Why these things are amaz, They're humongous. And so when
Speaker 3: I was a kid growing up between two military bases,
Speaker 3: we'd go to the air show at the Eltoral Marine base,
Speaker 3: and then we'd go they had an open house where
Speaker 3: we could like walk through, and it was so long
Speaker 3: ago they didn't give a crap we were walk through.
Speaker 3: They sit in tanks and the fighter jets. We could
Speaker 3: like sit in the cockpit of the It was ridiculous.
Speaker 3: They would never do that kind of stuff these days anyway.
Speaker 3: So I have very find memories of that, and these
Speaker 3: these things are all gone. But the massive hangars there
Speaker 3: were two of them. Gigantic hangars again thousand feet long.
Speaker 3: Just imagine how big that is, seventeen stories high, very wide,
Speaker 3: and they were made out of wood.
Speaker 4: Crazy. I'm looking at pictures of them right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this week one of them randomly burned down.
Speaker 3: They were still there. They were grandfathered in. I think
Speaker 3: they were named a historical landmark because they go back
Speaker 3: to the I think they were originally built in the
Speaker 3: nineteen forties, so I think they're over eighty years old.
Speaker 4: The wire was so large that they had to use
Speaker 4: a helicopter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's ridiculous, And so I was really I was
Speaker 3: really bummed out because growing up those things. Wherever I was,
Speaker 3: where I grew up, I could look out and see
Speaker 3: the hang there that they were so much taller than
Speaker 3: everything else because there was just orange groves, and so
Speaker 3: no matter where you were, you could see these massive hangars.
Speaker 3: And the other night this week there was a random fire,
Speaker 3: which common sense would say probably somebody started and and
Speaker 3: he used to run. I went from one side to
Speaker 3: the other. It seemed like it took forever because it
Speaker 3: was so long. But the photos on this, if you
Speaker 3: want to see some wild photos of massive hangar burning up,
Speaker 3: was just insane, Like it looked like into the world stuff,
Speaker 3: the photos of the thing burning and it was crazy.
Speaker 3: So I was bummed out about that. And then as
Speaker 3: an added a little added bonus here, it turns out
Speaker 3: that the hangars are filled with asbestis.
Speaker 1: Oh no, so they have just dropped.
Speaker 3: Uh, there's a air air quality crisis in that area
Speaker 3: because they just shot up as best as all over
Speaker 3: that part of Orange County. So it's pretty pretty crazy.
Speaker 3: So there's all kinds of way. They closed the schools
Speaker 3: around there, and they are all kinds of of health
Speaker 3: concerns because yeah, these things were built. They didn't really
Speaker 3: give a crap about the as Best this back then,
Speaker 3: they didn't know it was. It was bad for you,
Speaker 3: and so anyway, that's that's the the story. Now they're
Speaker 3: trying to figure out what are they gonna do, because.
Speaker 1: I guess it's kind of a weird thing.
Speaker 3: They were empty, but the Navy still kind of overlooked them,
Speaker 3: even though they were like it was a marine base,
Speaker 3: but it was the Navy would would overlook everything. They
Speaker 3: had to declare a state of emergency because of that,
Speaker 3: And they've actually filmed a bunch of TV shows and
Speaker 3: movies over the years. These things are so massive and
Speaker 3: they closed thirty years ago. The fires started like in
Speaker 3: the middle of the night. But some of the shows
Speaker 3: that it's pretty crazy, some of the shows and movies
Speaker 3: they filmed, and these things. Austin Powers, the Spy who
Speaker 3: Shagged Me? They filmed some of that inside one of
Speaker 3: the hangars there.
Speaker 4: Oh wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They there was a time machine in the shape of
Speaker 3: a Volkswagen Beetle that could transport Mike Myers to nineteen
Speaker 3: sixty nine, and so they filmed that there. There was
Speaker 3: like a bunch of old old movies in the World
Speaker 3: War two period. There was a Pearl Harbor movie actually
Speaker 3: in two thousand and one that the Pearl Harvey movie
Speaker 3: and then before that, there was a Hindenberg movie they
Speaker 3: filmed there, a bunch of other random stuff. So anyway,
Speaker 3: it's it's kind of crazy that that thing's not there anymore.
Speaker 3: I just just assumed, because it was once it was
Speaker 3: given the title of having special status that it was,
Speaker 3: they couldn't tear it down. You just assumed I was
Speaker 3: gonna be there long after I'm gone. You know, it's
Speaker 3: not gonna go anywhere. They also filmed I think I said,
Speaker 3: the Star Trek and that was in nine reboot. They
Speaker 3: filmed film there.
Speaker 1: So anyway they're gonna tear that thing down.
Speaker 3: There's one hangar left, so if they're gonna tear that
Speaker 3: one down also, But yeah, I nostalgic, man, I was
Speaker 3: flashing back. It was. It was a cliffhanger. As I
Speaker 3: was thinking back to walking through those who as a
Speaker 3: little kid, and and how ominous, uh just massive those
Speaker 3: things those things were.
Speaker 4: You would figure that there would have to be some
Speaker 4: cameras trained on these things, right, I mean.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Well, the big rumor I'm talking to people that live
Speaker 3: around there, and the big rumor is that, yeah, there's
Speaker 3: conspiracy theories that it was it was it started. I
Speaker 3: don't think most of in an empty wooden hangar, a
Speaker 3: massive cavernous hangar, a fire is not gonna just start
Speaker 3: on its own. I don't think, right, you would common
Speaker 3: sense would say, well, it's like there was no lightning.
Speaker 4: It wasn't raining. Yeah, unless there's some old electrical panel
Speaker 4: that or something.
Speaker 1: Possibly, but that's very valuable real estate.
Speaker 3: So the theory is that somebody went in there and
Speaker 3: you know, did did what they did, and then they'll
Speaker 3: eventually build build a bunch of condos or houses or whatever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, same conspiracy theories we were hearing after the Maui fires.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, whatever happened, it's just
Speaker 3: like every other big story, like the Maui thing.
Speaker 1: A bunch of people died, it was terrible.
Speaker 3: And the media runs in to document everything, and then
Speaker 3: after a couple of weeks they move on. It's like
Speaker 3: people are still there.
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, it's like the news channels get tired
Speaker 4: of certain stories after they hit on it way too hard.
Speaker 4: Then they leave it alone way too much. And I
Speaker 4: bet you that Oprah and the Rock are busy buying
Speaker 4: tons of the burn properties right now because nobody's watching anymore.
Speaker 4: What I bet you those two are going to be
Speaker 4: the rulers of Maui.
Speaker 3: And that enclave of that part of Maui that like
Speaker 3: all the locals will be gone and they'll just put
Speaker 3: like you know, massive houses or resort like another resort
Speaker 3: or something like that.
Speaker 1: We have I love words. We love words, So we
Speaker 1: have a fray lease of the day.
Speaker 3: We will do another phrase tomorrow because there's some other options.
Speaker 4: We're on weekly, so it'd be the phrase of the week.
Speaker 3: Well no, but if we do a phrase tomorrow, it
Speaker 3: can be the phrase of the day today and tomorrow
Speaker 3: can be the phrase of the week. That way we
Speaker 3: can or we can have phrase the week, phrase of
Speaker 3: the week times too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Both.
Speaker 4: We do the phrase a Friday.
Speaker 1: Friday's phrase. A Friday phrase is the phrase of the week.
Speaker 3: You know you want that day and we'll give you that.
Speaker 1: Is down to the wire, down to the wire, down
Speaker 1: to the wire. We go.
Speaker 3: Hear that in horse racing exactly. Most people have heard
Speaker 3: that over the years. It's a situation where it's not
Speaker 3: going to be decided until the very end. Like most
Speaker 3: NBA games are close with three minutes to go in
Speaker 3: the game, and whoever makes.
Speaker 1: More baskets in the last three minutes is gonna win.
Speaker 3: And football games usually pretty close going to the fourth quarter,
Speaker 3: so somebody it ends in the final final part of
Speaker 3: it till.
Speaker 1: The very last moment. So the phrase down to the wire.
Speaker 3: It did originate in horse racing, but I didn't know
Speaker 3: what it meant exactly why I was down to the wire?
Speaker 1: What's the reference?
Speaker 3: So in the early days of horse racing, there was
Speaker 3: a wire that was hung above the finish line and
Speaker 3: they used that to help determine the winner. Let's see
Speaker 3: who is down to the wire? You have to cross
Speaker 3: the wire. And since the races as they still are,
Speaker 3: we've had a race. We'll talk more about that, I'm
Speaker 3: sure on Saturday. But the races were very close and they.
Speaker 1: Just sat coming down to the wire.
Speaker 3: And the first time that phrase down to the wire
Speaker 3: was used in writing was in eighteen eighty nine Scribner's magazine.
Speaker 3: There was an article titled how the Derby Was Won
Speaker 3: was the title, and so that's the first time. I'm
Speaker 3: sure it was used before that, but that is the
Speaker 3: first time. So the phrase of the week coming to
Speaker 3: us from the world of horse racing down to the wire,
Speaker 3: down to the this podcast day the fifth Hour podcast
Speaker 3: in many respects, down to the wire. Right, we're down
Speaker 3: to the wire. But I think we need to have
Speaker 3: some foody fund. What do you say.
Speaker 4: Let's do it all right.
Speaker 1: We all have to eat, and let's eat. Let's enjoy food.
Speaker 3: And today's Veterans Day, So major salute to both active
Speaker 3: duty and veterans who served in the military.

Speaker 3: but you are eligible to get a lot of free crap.

Speaker 3: there's not many of those left. But if you can
Speaker 3: find that, knock yourself out.
Speaker 1: They've got a deal.
Speaker 4: How do they know who's a veteran and who's not
Speaker 4: a veteran?
Speaker 3: It's a great question. Don't they have to have a card?
Speaker 3: Like if you served in the military. I think they
Speaker 3: give you a card to prove you're not bogus. Why
Speaker 3: are you going to go in there and say you
Speaker 3: were in the Air Force, Danny, is that your plan?
Speaker 4: I wondered if I'm grandfathered in because of my grandfather.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's like the Gronk insurance thing.
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: It's like you should go into Denny's because they're on
Speaker 3: the list, Like you get a free original grand Slam.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't tell them my grandpa really loved pancakes. Can
Speaker 4: I have some?
