The Fifth Hour: The Day an Egg McMuffin Owned Mr. Met

Benny cracks open the Fifth Hour vault for a never-before-told tale from a sultry afternoon at Shea Stadium, when an Egg McMuffin somehow owned Mr. Met and brought the usual pregame schmoozing to a screeching halt. It’s one of those wonderfully ridiculous “you had to be there” baseball stories, preserved in Benny’s memory for nearly three decades. From there, Ben reacts to the latest gold rush for the Hamburglar, who apparently has upgraded his criminal enterprise and graduated from swiping ordinary burgers. Then it’s off to the hodgepodge, where no useful knowledge is required: honey bees come equipped with their own built-in air conditioning, the Japanese practice the woodland magic of Shinrin-Yoku, and the French once called tomatoes “love apples” because they supposedly put a little extra ooh-la-la in the boudoir. Baseball, burgers, bees, trees, and aphrodisiac tomatoes — another perfectly wackadoodle edition of the Fifth Hour.
