0:09

0:12

1:00
Speaker 1: weekend of The Fifth Hour. New episodes Saturday and Sunday.
1:05
Speaker 1: But we're worried about today. We do the show today.
1:08
Speaker 1: We're worried about the show today. Normally we start out
1:12
Speaker 1: with some dope holidays and all that, but I'm not
1:14
Speaker 1: gonna even bother with that. We have the Hobgoblin, hobnob awaken,
1:18
Speaker 1: the beast, foody fun, the phrase of the weekend. Who
1:22
Speaker 1: knows what else we'll get to, but we'll start with
1:24
Speaker 1: this the Friday Special. Friday Special. Is it true? Is
1:31
Speaker 1: it true that an unexpected visitor stop by the Overnight
1:36
Speaker 1: Show just hours ago? Just hours ago? That would be
1:41
Speaker 1: one thousand percent true. So we start out the new
1:45
Speaker 1: weekend of the podcast looking back at a snaff who
1:50
Speaker 1: heard round the audio world if you were with me
1:54
Speaker 1: on the Overnight Show, the Friday Overnight Show, you heard
1:59
Speaker 1: the thing of a jig, that snap that wasn't supposed
2:05
Speaker 1: to snap, that the watcher mccollet, that didn't really work out.
2:09
Speaker 1: So exclusive details. Nobody else has these details. None of
2:13
Speaker 1: the other other networks, none of the podcaster Joe Rogan
2:17
Speaker 1: doesn't have it. None of the people that do these
2:19
Speaker 1: podcasts have it. We're the only pod that has this information.
2:23
Speaker 1: The rest of the story. As the late great Paul
2:26
Speaker 1: Harvey would say, you know what the news is, but
2:29
Speaker 1: now you're about to find out the rest of the story.
2:31
Speaker 1: This is must consume content for the p Ones and
2:37
Speaker 1: the Malon militia. I'm talking about alf the Allen, Pineter,
2:40
Speaker 1: ferg Dog and all the rest, Kathy and Madison, all
2:44
Speaker 1: of them. So working from the remote studio. We have
2:49
Speaker 1: the world's changed since COVID. So we do the show
2:53
Speaker 1: from the main studio most of the time, but occasionally
2:57
Speaker 1: during the week we will broadcast from the remote studio,
3:00
Speaker 1: which is located at the Malor Mansion, yapping away in
3:04
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. Happens to be the studio
3:07
Speaker 1: that I'm in right now. So in the rant that
3:11
Speaker 1: I was doing in hour now very three hour three,
3:16
Speaker 1: So this is the four am Eastern hour. This is
3:20
Speaker 1: the one am Pacific hour, ranting poetic about Bill Belichick
3:28
Speaker 1: and his young Fluozy and the latest on them having
3:32
Speaker 1: a best selling book. Well, Belichick having a best selling book,
3:35
Speaker 1: and I was building up to a crescendo. I thought
3:39
Speaker 1: it was very funny that Bill Belichick wrote a book
3:44
Speaker 1: and is promoting the book. And the reason the book
3:46
Speaker 1: is now a New York Times bestseller is because many
3:50
Speaker 1: of the people going to buy the book believe they're
3:53
Speaker 1: going to get some kind of amazing details on Bill
3:57
Speaker 1: Belichick and his young late friend, when that is not
4:02
Speaker 1: the topic of the book. So I'm building up to this, right,
4:05
Speaker 1: I'm building up to this, I'm setting it up. I'm
4:07
Speaker 1: laying the groundwork, and of course you want to know
4:10
Speaker 1: everything I have to say about the creative muse of
4:13
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. So I'm doing my thing, building up to
4:16
Speaker 1: the great quote from W. C. Fields, who said, you
4:20
Speaker 1: can fool some of the people some of the time,
4:22
Speaker 1: and that's enough to make a decent living, which is
4:25
Speaker 1: a kin what Belichick's doing here, suckering people in to
4:30
Speaker 1: get the book, thinking they're going to hear all this tabooed,
4:34
Speaker 1: tawdry stuff about old dude, young woman, and no, so
4:40
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't get that anyway. So as I
4:44
Speaker 1: am doing this rant, I get a text on the
4:48
Speaker 1: malorphone and it says something like you're off the air
4:52
Speaker 1: line dropped. You're off the air line dropped. And my
4:55
Speaker 1: immediate reaction is, oh, this is probably a joke. I
4:58
Speaker 1: know we're into May. It's a l April Fools joke.
5:01
Speaker 1: And so I off to my left in the studio.
5:05
Speaker 1: I have all the equipment in the remote studio that
5:08
Speaker 1: connects me to wherever I need to be connected, and
5:12
Speaker 1: there's a decent amount of stuff in here that I
5:16
Speaker 1: purchased I actually bought all this stuff in the remote studio.
5:20
Speaker 1: If you've been with the show all on time. I
5:22
Speaker 1: was doing some fill in work at WEI in Boston,
5:26
Speaker 1: and I did it remote most of the time, and
5:29
Speaker 1: so I built a studio out in twenty seventeen. I
5:34
Speaker 1: guess it was twenty seventeen. So that was the year
5:37
Speaker 1: the pro cheated in the World Series, and Rob Manford,
5:45
Speaker 1: the commissioner of Major League Baseball, thought, Oh, that's no
5:47
Speaker 1: big deal. It's just to hunk a metal. We'll protect them.
5:51
Speaker 1: So I built a studio in twenty seventeen. I've moved
5:54
Speaker 1: all the equipment for the studio since then. I've moved
5:57
Speaker 1: to a new humble abode during that time, anyway, So
6:01
Speaker 1: I have all this stuff in here, and off to
6:04
Speaker 1: my left, I have the equipment that tells me whether
6:08
Speaker 1: I'm connected. It's really just a series of lights that
6:11
Speaker 1: connect me. So I look over and if it's a
6:15
Speaker 1: green light, I'm connected. And if it's not a green light,
6:18
Speaker 1: or if it's a red light, something has gone terribly wrong.
6:21
Speaker 1: And I look over in my periphial vision, thinking that
6:25
Speaker 1: this was fake, and I do not see the green light.
6:28
Speaker 1: I don't see the red light. I see no light,
6:31
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh boy, Well, it turns out that
6:35
Speaker 1: this was not some kind of rogue gremlin attack. There
6:38
Speaker 1: was no gremlin attacked. Instead, the FSR Mothership had a
6:44
Speaker 1: hiccup the hob goblin hob knob if you will, those
6:51
Speaker 1: hob goblins. The goblins attacked the Sherman Oaks studios of
6:57
Speaker 1: the Ben Mathers Show. And as we like to say,
7:00
Speaker 1: the show must go on. You just got to keep going, right.
7:04
Speaker 1: We fought the attack of the hobgoblin. We bludgeoned several hobgoblins.
7:10
Speaker 1: It was like playing whack a mole with the hob goblins.
7:13
Speaker 1: But you have to roll with the dice that land
7:16
Speaker 1: wherever the dice land, and the show turned out to be.
7:18
Speaker 1: I thought it was all right. I thought it was
7:19
Speaker 1: pretty good. Some parts of it were great. My favorite
7:22
Speaker 1: parts of last night show because we just did last
7:24
Speaker 1: Night Show, so that's what I'm thinking of. Pam and
7:27
Speaker 1: Seattle loved the call. Pam and Seattle called up and
7:31
Speaker 1: she agreed to take the oath. She wanted to take
7:33
Speaker 1: the oath. She then was so flustered she couldn't handle
7:38
Speaker 1: the oath. She did not pass the oath. We had
7:41
Speaker 1: to fail, Pam. You can hear that on the podcast.
7:43
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure that was a bit because Pam
7:46
Speaker 1: and Seattle, very calm, professional woman, not like the people
7:53
Speaker 1: that normally call the show, and she's a classically trained
7:55
Speaker 1: musician like Inka Terra and a very nice woman. She
7:59
Speaker 1: would not do that unless that that punk inca terror
8:03
Speaker 1: had her do that. So I enjoyed. I enjoyed Pam's
8:06
Speaker 1: phone call. I thought that was good. Charlie totally flamed
8:10
Speaker 1: out on his call from Dallas, the Charlie from Dallas.
8:14
Speaker 1: And then we had hollering James, a vintage hollering James
8:18
Speaker 1: throwback call where he was just snoring, and it wasn't agony,
8:24
Speaker 1: it was joy. It was joy listening to him snore.
8:27
Speaker 1: Meg My god, was that great? So anyway, that was
8:30
Speaker 1: the hobgoblin hobb now now turning the page on that
8:34
Speaker 1: to page two. And once upon a time, a couple
8:39
Speaker 1: days ago, that's right, Once upon a time, a couple
8:41
Speaker 1: of days ago, a slapstick comedy broke out. Not on radio, no, no, no,
8:47
Speaker 1: not on radio. It was not on television. It was
8:50
Speaker 1: not a concert, It wasn't a lot of palooza. It
8:53
Speaker 1: was a Vaudvillian event that very few people know about,
8:57
Speaker 1: and I will share that with you right now. So
8:59
Speaker 1: it's started out simple enough, as most stories do. It
9:04
Speaker 1: was just a casual event and one thing led to another.
9:09
Speaker 1: So following the radio show, I made the long trek
9:13
Speaker 1: back to the north Woods. This was when I was
9:16
Speaker 1: in studio, So I made my way back, and following
9:20
Speaker 1: the radio show, I put my bags. I have two
9:23
Speaker 1: bags I take with me. I put them down. I
9:26
Speaker 1: got a thing of water. I then got my headphones
9:30
Speaker 1: that I use and a couple of items, and I
9:34
Speaker 1: went to the dungeon at the Malor Mansion. Went down
9:37
Speaker 1: to the dungeon, which is not a basement because they
9:40
Speaker 1: don't have basements in California. It's a literal dungeon. So
9:43
Speaker 1: I went into the dungeon. I decided I was going
9:46
Speaker 1: to hop on the treadmill. I said, you know what
9:49
Speaker 1: I need. I need to be productive. Let me hop
9:52
Speaker 1: on the treadmill and I'll knock out a little workout.
9:55
Speaker 1: Why not? So I hopped on the treadmill in the dungeon,
9:58
Speaker 1: not bragging. The thing was real fixed. It was down
10:01
Speaker 1: for like three years A gentleman came over cost us
10:04
Speaker 1: an arm and a leg. But the treadmill is not working.
10:07
Speaker 1: So my goal is ten thousand steps today. My goal
10:09
Speaker 1: often is a lot more than that. My goal often
10:11
Speaker 1: is close to twenty thousand, but I try to get
10:13
Speaker 1: a minimum of ten thousand. So remember I'm here at
10:16
Speaker 1: the Malar you know, Malar Mansion. My my pal Moxie
10:22
Speaker 1: is holding down the fort, the mascot of the Malar Militia.
10:26
Speaker 1: She's on the sofa and this is her throne. This
10:29
Speaker 1: is where she hangs out. She cannot be bothered to
10:32
Speaker 1: go into the dungeon. She does not want to hang
10:34
Speaker 1: out with me. While I'm on the treadmill. She looks
10:37
Speaker 1: down upon me and my dog Moxie working out. So
10:40
Speaker 1: Moxie is so lazy. How lazy is she? She's so lazy.
10:44
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked. Moxy is so lazy that if
10:48
Speaker 1: you have a bulldog, I'm guessing they're all like this.
10:50
Speaker 1: I just I've never had a bulldog before. Moxie so
10:53
Speaker 1: as she is. She's so lazy. She doesn't even move
10:57
Speaker 1: her body when you enter the room. I've had dog
11:00
Speaker 1: that would run and try to jump through Bella, the
11:02
Speaker 1: old dog we had Bella. We'll try to run through
11:05
Speaker 1: the freaking door to get you. Knew that you were
11:08
Speaker 1: on the other side of the door, and we try
11:09
Speaker 1: to literally run and jump like some kind of matador,
11:14
Speaker 1: like ill Matta door and the bull trying to get
11:16
Speaker 1: through the door. So Moxie is the antithesis of that.
11:21
Speaker 1: She's the complete opposite of that. And she's so lazy.
11:26
Speaker 1: She will not move her body when you're in the room.
11:28
Speaker 1: She moves her eyeballs, and sometimes she's so lazy she
11:32
Speaker 1: will not even move her eyeballs, so like track you
11:34
Speaker 1: with her eyes. So this was just your normal night
11:39
Speaker 1: again once upon a time, a couple of days ago.
11:42
Speaker 1: And I'm doing my routine on the tread. I'm not
11:45
Speaker 1: really running, but I'm not walking. I guess that's jogging.
11:48
Speaker 1: I guess it's called fast walking. Whatever you want to
11:50
Speaker 1: call it, I don't care. So I'm doing that. And
11:54
Speaker 1: I did a decent amount of time. I put some
11:57
Speaker 1: audio on. I was listening to something podcast asked or something.
12:00
Speaker 1: And then after about forty five minutes, I said, you
12:04
Speaker 1: know what, I got to answer a call. I'm not
12:07
Speaker 1: doing a talk show. I had to answer the call.
12:09
Speaker 1: And so I had to answer nature's call. So I
12:14
Speaker 1: paused the treadmill. I headed to the powder room. As
12:20
Speaker 1: they say in Canada, Oh come, we'll be in Vancouver.
12:24
Speaker 1: Coming up man, less than two weeks from today. We
12:30
Speaker 1: will be in Vancouver. Cannot wait, Mouther meet and greet
12:33
Speaker 1: Canadian style. Anyway, so I decided I had to go bathroom.
12:37
Speaker 1: My body told me I had to go bathroom. So
12:40
Speaker 1: I made my way out of the dungeon, and Justin
12:43
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati tells me Robbie the Mariner fan lives in
12:46
Speaker 1: the dungeon. Anyway, So I made my way out of
12:48
Speaker 1: the dungeon. I walked up some stairs, then down a hall,
12:52
Speaker 1: and then down a different set of stairs. And as
12:56
Speaker 1: I was walking in this room, I saw Moxie who
13:00
Speaker 1: was sleeping. And again no acknowledgement. It's in the dark.
13:05
Speaker 1: And of course I'm such a loser. I was like,
13:07
Speaker 1: I don't want to I did not want to wake
13:10
Speaker 1: up Moxie. I did not want to wake her up. Yeah,
13:13
Speaker 1: so maybe she'll wake up if I turned the lights on.
13:16
Speaker 1: So I went over to the to the powder room,
13:19
Speaker 1: to the bathroom, and I made my way to the crapper,
13:23
Speaker 1: crap on, crap off the crapper. So I took care
13:26
Speaker 1: of business, and then I had to reverse the trip
13:30
Speaker 1: in the dark, so I made sure to flush. I
13:33
Speaker 1: washed my hands in the dark. So I go out
13:37
Speaker 1: and I walk and it's a normal walk, nothing really interesting.
13:41
Speaker 1: I walked back up the stairs down to the to
13:45
Speaker 1: the left, and now I go down another set of
13:47
Speaker 1: stairs and then I go down into my dungeon and
13:50
Speaker 1: I'm on my way. So as I was making this trip,
13:54
Speaker 1: about midway through, I started smelling something that didn't really
13:59
Speaker 1: smell proper, smelled a little foul, so I thought, but
14:03
Speaker 1: it must be Moxie. Moxie must have let one ript
14:06
Speaker 1: flashlens for Moxie. Bulldogs are known to have a lot
14:09
Speaker 1: of gas, so I didn't think much of it. I
14:12
Speaker 1: kept going and going and going, and I kept smelling it.
14:17
Speaker 1: And it turns out that Moxie had decided that she
14:21
Speaker 1: needed to go to the bathroom and she couldn't make
14:23
Speaker 1: it out in time, and so she went poopy in
14:27
Speaker 1: the Houseye And as the famous line goes, watch that
14:32
Speaker 1: last step, it's a doozy. It is a doozy, And
14:37
Speaker 1: it was so here I am very proud of myself.
14:42
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I'm getting some exercise. I'm being a
14:44
Speaker 1: grown up, you know, being an adult. I just had a
14:46
Speaker 1: big birthday. People tell me I'm old.
14:48
Speaker 2: Now.
14:48
Speaker 1: So I got on the treadmill. Fine, so I'm now
14:53
Speaker 1: standing here. I looked down at my shoes covered in
14:56
Speaker 1: fecal matter. It's pitch black. Other I had to turn
15:01
Speaker 1: my light on my phone on. Now I'm like, these
15:05
Speaker 1: are the pair of shoes that I use on the treadmill.
15:07
Speaker 1: I got to get these things cleaned as ap. These
15:10
Speaker 1: things must be clean. I had options. I said, well,
15:14
Speaker 1: I can put on the sink, but then that's the sink,
15:16
Speaker 1: the kitchen sink we use for the dishes. I don't
15:18
Speaker 1: want to put dog shit in the kitchen sink. And
15:21
Speaker 1: I was like, I go to the bathroom and use
15:23
Speaker 1: the sink there, but it's the same concept we wash
15:25
Speaker 1: our hands there. I don't know if I want that,
15:28
Speaker 1: so I, ah, you know, I'll just go out in
15:30
Speaker 1: the back and I'll turn on the hose. I'll go
15:32
Speaker 1: behind the mallor mansion, and I'll turn on the hose
15:34
Speaker 1: and that'll be that. Yay, it's the middle of the night.
15:37
Speaker 1: It's pitch black. Everyone's sleeping. I'm awake, Moxie is sleeping.
15:42
Speaker 1: So I go down outside. I go around to where
15:46
Speaker 1: the hose is, and again, this is just all going
15:50
Speaker 1: on in the span of you know, a short amount
15:52
Speaker 1: of time. Moxie is so unbothered by the situation. She decides,
15:56
Speaker 1: I'm not getting up. You know, I'm good, I'm I'm
15:59
Speaker 1: not doing that. So I go out and I take
16:03
Speaker 1: the shoes off, and I turned the hose on and
16:06
Speaker 1: I rinse away the Moxie waste off the sneakers. And
16:11
Speaker 1: as I am doing this, and it's only been about
16:15
Speaker 1: twenty seconds since I started deciding to wash the sneakers
16:18
Speaker 1: because I need them, all of a sudden I hear
16:21
Speaker 1: this galloping and this barking from a distance, and I'm like,
16:27
Speaker 1: what the F is that? Now? It turns out the
16:31
Speaker 1: rest of the story, our friend Moxie my pal. I
16:35
Speaker 1: spend almost every night during the week enjoying the company
16:41
Speaker 1: of Moxie. She keeps me company. My wife works as well,
16:43
Speaker 1: so she's not around and I'm with mox We're enjoying ourselves.
16:48
Speaker 1: And so it turns out that galloping I heard was
16:53
Speaker 1: Moxie who went from zero to hero. She was into
16:56
Speaker 1: hero mode, clearly triggered in a paste by Poseidon, the
17:02
Speaker 1: Greek god of the sea. The Moxie that we knew
17:07
Speaker 1: that was sleeping, that is so lazy, she would not
17:09
Speaker 1: move her anything more than her eyeballs. It turns out
17:13
Speaker 1: we awoken the beast. We did. We awoken the beast,
17:17
Speaker 1: and so now here we are. I mentioned this was
17:21
Speaker 1: a Vaudvillian comedy, more like The Three Stooges, which is
17:24
Speaker 1: Vaudvillian old comedy Troupe Three Stooges. So it's the middle
17:29
Speaker 1: of the night. I'm now standing outside barefoot holding a
17:33
Speaker 1: shoe covered in shit Moxie muffins full of crap ole.
17:38
Speaker 1: I'm washing the shoe off. Behind me is Moxie, who
17:44
Speaker 1: is waking up all of the neighbors of the Malor
17:48
Speaker 1: mansion in a time that is not a time to
17:52
Speaker 1: be awake for most. She's then turning her attention to me.
17:56
Speaker 1: She's trying to attack me. Well, not really. She wanted
18:00
Speaker 1: to get to the source of the water, so the
18:03
Speaker 1: goal was to get to the source of the water.
18:06
Speaker 1: I was in between the source of the water and Moxie,
18:11
Speaker 1: so I've got my shoes covered. I've got water now
18:15
Speaker 1: everywhere because of the hose. I've got Moxie trying to
18:18
Speaker 1: attack the water, ready to fight to the death, ready
18:23
Speaker 1: to fight to the death. And just another night, just
18:27
Speaker 1: another random night in paradise. God, it was. It was
18:32
Speaker 1: like I couldn't go back on the treadmill because the
18:34
Speaker 1: shoes were covered in the crap. And then I got
18:37
Speaker 1: the crap off of Maxie. Was Moxie was of upset. Now.
18:40
Speaker 1: My mistake, the fatal mistake I made, was I left
18:44
Speaker 1: the door open, because that got the wheels in motion.
18:48
Speaker 1: I left the door open because I assumed, like a
18:51
Speaker 1: dumb ass, that my dog Moxie would just stay asleep.
18:56
Speaker 1: I didn't think we were going to have a turf
18:57
Speaker 1: war between Moxie and the Greek god of the sea Poseidon.
19:03
Speaker 1: I did not expect that to happen. I figure, well,
19:05
Speaker 1: she's sleeping, the host doesn't even make that much noise.
19:09
Speaker 1: There's no way this is gonna end up in a
19:11
Speaker 1: bad situation. And sure enough, it ended up in a

26:43
Speaker 1: time now four. The phrase of the week. The phrase
26:51
Speaker 1: of the week. We use this on social media. Several
26:54
Speaker 1: of you said, oh, I don't know what that is?
26:55
Speaker 1: Did you make that up? Where'd you get that from?
26:57
Speaker 1: What's that mean? Including supermarket Steve and Ralph not recket Ralph.
27:03
Speaker 1: This Ralph lives in Arizona, and so unless recket Ralph
27:06
Speaker 1: moved to Arizona and has become a podcast listener and
27:11
Speaker 1: a consumer that sends messages in probably not the same Ralph.
27:16
Speaker 1: So the phrase of the week is work like stink.
27:22
Speaker 1: The idiom work like stink, which originated in British England
27:30
Speaker 1: as opposed to the other British but it's originated in
27:34
Speaker 1: British English, and it is used to describe I think
27:37
Speaker 1: you can figure this out. It's rather obvious. It's telegraphed
27:40
Speaker 1: to describe working extremely hard or intensely, or you end
27:45
Speaker 1: up having a little smell, right, you work like hell.
27:48
Speaker 1: It's a phrase similar to his work like hell, work
27:51
Speaker 1: like mad, and just kind of a way to enhance
27:57
Speaker 1: the language. The term stink is itself has been used
28:01
Speaker 1: since the early twentieth century. When someone works like stink,
28:05
Speaker 1: they are working with great effort and speed, likely a
28:08
Speaker 1: lot of sweating going on, which leads to bodily odors.
28:12
Speaker 1: And it's an informal way of saying someone is working
28:16
Speaker 1: at a passionate level, very quickly and working like stink,
28:23
Speaker 1: which is a cousin of working like a dog from
28:27
Speaker 1: the nineteenth century and working like a horse. Of course,
28:32
Speaker 1: of course I've also heard working like an aux. I've
28:36
Speaker 1: heard that the original phrase go like stink, which is
28:41
Speaker 1: not the phrase that we used your work like stink,
28:44
Speaker 1: go like stink. That phrase means to move very fast.
28:49
Speaker 1: That's mid twentieth century, and they say that was the
28:53
Speaker 1: precursor to the modern word that we're talking about. The
28:56
Speaker 1: phrase we're talking about here involving the stink, and it
29:01
Speaker 1: goes back to the nineteen fifties British novel Going like Stink.
29:08
Speaker 1: Working like Stink could also have been adapted. And so
29:14
Speaker 1: there ye go the phrase of the week which goes
29:19
Speaker 1: back to the nineteen hundreds and it is work like stink. Yeah,
29:26
Speaker 1: works so much you get a little sweaty. You need
29:28
Speaker 1: to take a nice shower. Just take a nice shower.
29:32
Speaker 1: The Malord meet and greet. If you have not heard
29:33
Speaker 1: and you want to know about the details, we did
