Starting point is 00:00:00 Sweet swinging sledgehammers, let's knock down the walls of reality and get onto the Harland Highway. Hello, everybody. It's me, Harlow Williams. You are on the Harlan Highway podcast. Welcome, one and all. Great to have you along for the ride. What a show. What a show today, man. Exciting show. So we're going to be talking about the debates, the presidential debates that have been happening. I'm going to get into it. I'm going to get a little bit serious about the debates. Okay?
Starting point is 00:00:36 It's a serious topic, and I'm going to analyze. I'm going to tell you what I don't like about the debates, what I do like, what I don't like. Let's see what you think. Also, oh, my God. I don't know how many young people. listen to the show, but guess who I ran into, Justin Bieber. Okay, I don't know why I'm so excited.
Starting point is 00:01:01 I guess I do. I'll tell you about it. I'm going to tell you about my run-in with the bebes, Justin Bieber. Just happened. And I'm all fired up about it. And then on a sour note, it looks like cinnamon boys dropping by today. I think I'll go out and buy a barf bag ahead of time. I hate that idiot.
Starting point is 00:01:24 All he loves is cinnamon, and all I love is the Harland Highway. Welcome to the Harland Highway. All right, let's get this sucker going, huh? You are causing a major disturbance on my time. It's the Harland Highway. What's up, Bra? If I'm here and you're here, doesn't that make it our time? I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Am I hallucinating here? Just what in the hell do you think you're doing? You just made a wrong turn. On to the Harland Highway. This is your fucking wake-up call, man. You're riding down the Harland Highway with Harlan Williams. In 30 seconds, you'll be dead. I'll blow this place up and be home in time for cornflakes.
Starting point is 00:02:12 As long as you love me, no wonder pressure. Seven billion people in the world, so I'm fitted. Keep it together. Smile on your face, even though your heart is funny. Love me, me, me, me, me, me, me. Oh, yeah, gang, you're going, why does he start the show with the bebes?
Starting point is 00:02:38 With Justin Buh, B, Biber. You know why? I met the kid. Okay, I met the kid last night. And I don't know why. I'm kind of, what, did you hear my voice? I'm kind of excited. I'm excited. Why, why am I excited to meet a kid?
Starting point is 00:02:56 La la la la la la. Listen to that. La la la la la la love me. I don't know. Catchy little tune. Here's why I'm excited, okay? Let me tell you how I met the bebes. Me, your humble, your humble podcast host, hobnobbing with the bebes. Here's what happened. It was actually kind of cool. I'm a stand-up comedian, you know, in parentheses, maybe. And, you know, when I'm not out on the road doing shows or concerts or whatever,
Starting point is 00:03:36 I'm kicking around home in Hollywood. I like to go down to the local comedy clubs, a laugh factory in the comedy store and the improv and all the local haunts. And that's where I kind of jump up on stage, and I don't really get paid. I just jump up and I work on new material and I'll jump up for 20 minutes here, 12 minutes there. You know, I just, that's the way stand-up works.
Starting point is 00:04:02 You've got to get in front of a crowd and you got to, you got to try your stuff, man. You've got to try your shtick, baby. Heavens. So I roll in and, you know, the club's pretty crowded and I'm at the Laugh Factory on Hollywood Boulevard, great club. and there's the whole downstairs, and then, you know, when it gets really packed,
Starting point is 00:04:26 they have an upstairs balcony where they, you know, put the overflow of people. And so I get word that the Bebes is up there. And he's with his little entourage. And when I say a little entourage, I mean, when I looked at the group of kids, it looked like I, you know, I was like, did someone let a high school in here? Is it recess? What are these kids doing here? Because, you know, Justin Bieber's a young guy.
Starting point is 00:04:56 And his buddies are young guys. That's the way it works. You're young kid. You hang out with young kids, right? So there's the Bebebs, Justin Bebibbibbibbibber. And he's sitting up in the balcony waiting for the show to start. And normally I'd be like, whatever, great, Justin Bieber. You know, I bump into a lot of celebrities in my line of work.
Starting point is 00:05:20 see people I some people are hugely famous and I'll just walk right by them I don't care and uh sometimes they're a huge star I know I did earlier in the year I did a segment where I bumped into Jack Nicholson that blew my mind and so it's kind of like I don't really care about stars unless they mean something to me or there's some kind of a connection now here's my connection to the bebes I couldn't tell you one of them of his songs from the other. The one I'm playing is the only one I know because I've been hearing it on the radio. Um, but here's what I do know. He's a Canadian boy. And he's from Ontario, which is my province. That's where I'm from. And, uh, I think you know when, when you're in a foreign
Starting point is 00:06:10 country and, uh, and you bump into, uh, your brethren, your brothers, your, your own citizens, your own peeps, there's an immediate bond. Like, let's say you're American. You live in Ohio, and you go over to Europe, and you're floating around in Germany, and you're sitting at a bar, and everybody's talking in the German. I'm going to have a halben, halben, schlicht, flukken, schlack, lark.
Starting point is 00:06:37 And all of a sudden, at table three, like three tables over, you hear. So anyways, me and Dave were like, you know, hanging out at the Super Bowl, and you're like, well wait a minute what what's that voice what's that language where are you guys from hey man we're from uh colorado oh dude i'm from ohio well americans it's all right so you think i think you see where i'm going and i'm an american citizen but i'm also a canadian citizen i's born and raised in canada so you never lose where you're from where you were born you can adapt to new places
Starting point is 00:07:11 but nobody listening will ever refute their their heritage their beginnings. And so I'm the same way. Whenever I bump into Canadian guys, whether they're uber famous or whether they're like a farmer, I get a thrill, man. It's like, you know, there's like 35 million Canadians and there's 300 million Americans. So, you know, when you bump into one of the countrymen or women, you get excited. I do because you have that connection. So I'm getting long-winded here. There's the be. he's my Canadian boy and you know just like any country whether it's an Olympian a celebrity you always feel a sense of pride when when someone from your country does well and even more so
Starting point is 00:08:02 when they do really well okay like how many Americans listening aren't like fanatical about Bruce Springsteen and even if you're not if you got the chance to bump into him and say hi you'd be like dude Bruce, the boss, what's up, dude? Even if you hated his music, you'd be like, whoa. Right? Or if you're from the UK and a beetle walks in, Paul McCartney or Ringo, you're like, whoa, I hate your songs, but I love you. Oh, that's really nice.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Thank you. Up yours, you stupid bastard. Right? So here's my version of the boss. Here's my version of the Beatles, the Beams. So I'm proud of the kid, especially the fact he's a kid. right he's a kid like look at what that guy's achieved and you know it does he even have pubs i don't know so there he is he's sitting i walk over i walk up to him and uh i say hey dude
Starting point is 00:09:04 where are you from buddy canadian boy you're i know you're from ontario right he goes yeah i'm from such and such a place like strafford area and i go i'm from north york i'm from Toronto we shake hands yada yada yada and uh you know it was just cool i said hey dude you know i just wanted to say i'm proud of you man good for you you're doing great and he's like oh thanks man and uh he says you're going up tonight right and i said yeah yeah and he said well you better do some canadian stuff and i said you know what pick a topic i'll do a i'll do a canadian topic for you so he goes can you talk about the toronto maple leaves and i'm like sure So I did a tailor-made joke of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Starting point is 00:09:49 And then we just started talking about fishing and cottage country and donuts. I'm not even joking. We were talking about donuts, hockey, and fishing. How much more Canadian can you get than that? And then he says to me, so he goes, man, you've been in a lot of movies, man. Tell me again, like all your movies. And I'm like, well, I've been on a lot, but I thought I'd hit him with the ones he might know the best. So I said, oh, you know, dumb and dumber, something about Mary, half-baked.
Starting point is 00:10:18 He goes, yeah, yeah, half-baked, man. I watch Half-Baked. And this cracked me up. I go to the guy, I go, hey, Abe, that's a pot movie, dude. You can't be watching that. And he goes, and in all seriousness, sweet as could be, the kid looks at me, suddenly, like, kind of caught off guard. He goes, no, no, I can watch it. I'm 18. And I was like, what a, what a sweet guy. What a sweet, charming guy. So, you know, you never know what you're getting with celebrities, especially mega celebrities.
Starting point is 00:10:54 I got to say, I must have spent, you know, five minutes with the kid talking to him, just talking shop. No one else was around. It was me and him. And what a sweet, wonderful guy. You know, I can see why the girls are charmed by him. He still has, he's 18, but he still has that. boyish charm and innocence and he seems very polite and he seems very well-mannered and he seemed
Starting point is 00:11:22 humble, you know, which is hard to do. But, you know, for a kid to get mega success, it's hard to keep your feet on the ground and it felt like that was all there. Now, that being said, that's five minutes. I don't tour with the guy. He could be a nightmare. But I think you all know when, you know, I think most of you know, when you first meet someone you get that first impression you get a sense of that person not always sometimes
Starting point is 00:11:50 you can be tricked but usually your gauge is pretty accurate most of us human beings and uh just what i've seen in the media what i've seen when he's on talk shows you know um he seemed like that guy and then when i met him in real life he was that guy to me and uh so i know i'm i'm sounding like an excited little school girl, but it was kind of meet the guy and then not be, it was neat to meet the guy and not be disappointed. And as I said, it was neat to meet a fellow countryman who's doing well and seemed like he was a good representative of, you know, our country
Starting point is 00:12:33 and seemed like a fine, upstanding young star. as opposed to, you know, and I'm not picking on the United States, but as opposed to a guy like Chris Brown, who's a young, charismatic guy who, P.S. beat the crap out of Rihanna. And then, like, a jackass went and got a tattoo on his neck. And, you know, people that, you know, are kind of real jackasses, you know, rock stars O-Ding and, punching people and uh rap stars that kind of worship crap and call women bitches and all that crap
Starting point is 00:13:17 you know is this kid was refreshing okay he was he was a refreshing kid now what happens to a sweet kid like that over time does does the pressure does does the uh the bombardment of uh evil influences bad influence wash over the kid and by the time he's uh you know by the time he's 21 He's like a leaf garret. He's, you know, smoking crack out of an empty jello pudding pop tub behind a Denny's. I don't know. I hope not. I hope the kid keeps his wits about him.
Starting point is 00:13:55 But nonetheless, a positive thumbs up report on Justin Bieber. And the best part of all is that I got to call my little niece, who's just turned 11 years old, I got to text her actually and said, guess who I met last night? And apparently she freaked out. In hindsight, I wish I'd got a picture for her. I never did that, but I think she was freaked out that I even met the kid. Hey, everybody, who wants to have better sex? No, yes, yes.

Okay, good. I cleared my head. I had to get that idiot out of my head.
Starting point is 00:20:30 let's move on and interesting he brought up the debates the presidential debates have you been watching the debates the first one in particular was just you know everyone was ranting and raving that Romney won the day even
Starting point is 00:20:50 people on the other side the Democrats all of Romney's harshest critics about you know 90 percent of the people that slam him all the time, you know, shouted his praises. They all said he did it. He pulled it off. That Obama just didn't show up.
Starting point is 00:21:14 He looked tired. He looked disengaged. He looked annoyed. And that's debating. There's usually a winner or a loser. Sometimes they come close. But listen, folks, here's my take. You know, if you strip away all the BS, all the, all the, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:39 the finger pointing and the drummed up charges and, you know, Romney killed some guy's wife who had cancer, Romney's got Swiss bank accounts, Romney's done this, Romney's done that. If you're left with just the bare essentials of the man, and for all you people that are about to go, Screw you, man, he's an asshole. Well, you're just being ignorant. Okay? If he was a guy that wasn't a politician,
Starting point is 00:22:12 you would see a guy that's committed to his family. He's a family guy. He's a man committed to his faith. Anybody want to argue those two things yet? By the way, Obama's the same. Okay? Anyone want to argue he's a family guy and not committed to his faith? Okay, let's keep going.
Starting point is 00:22:33 He's a guy that's been in the business world for, you know, 25 years, maybe more. A negotiator, a deal maker, a money maker, a guy who can move money around and make it work for him and those around him. He's very business savvy. He's smart in that way. He's probably good of problem solving. That's his world. That's his business. If he'd never become a politician or running for president,
Starting point is 00:23:05 you would have to look at what he did with his life, with his career, and go, hey, the guy's very accomplished. That's what he did. Pretend it's not Mitt Romney. Pretend it's Joe Smith who worked on Wall Street and was very successful and made millions and millions of dollars. That's what Romney did. You can't take it away from him, right?
Starting point is 00:23:27 And then you move along and you go, well, with all that stuff he's done, with his commitment to who he is and what he is as a person. And you pack in, you know, his business savvy. And you have to imagine that during the span of his career, he stood in boardrooms under extreme pressure, pitching ideas, talking about money, moving huge sums of money around, putting his neck on the line,
Starting point is 00:24:01 being creative, blah, blah, blah. All those things that you can imagine would be high stress in a boardroom. Romney did it, and he looks good doing it. And that's what he did in the debate. He walked out, he squished all his essence together, and he took probably his faith, his sense of family, his sense of self,
Starting point is 00:24:23 his sense of business, his sense of moving money, his sense of politics. And I'm not getting into the issues. I'm just talking about the core of the man. And he shined, man. He looked good. He had the answers. He was sharp. He was quick.
Starting point is 00:24:41 He looked invigorated. And he wanted to be there. And he was engaged. He was somewhat charming. He even got a few laughs, which Obama didn't get. It's not like he did a, you know, Don Rickles' George Carlin comedy concert, but he provided a few laughs, the Big Bird Comment and a few other things. So basically the guy scored across the board.
Starting point is 00:25:09 And whether you like Democrats or you like Republicans, you got to give it to him. Now, notice I'm not going into all his policies, all the things he said. and I'm not doing it because they're right or wrong. The fact is, I just don't know. I don't know how many of them are right or wrong. Because I'm not a politician. I'm not a businessman.
Starting point is 00:25:35 I'm not in there, you know. But I have to assume that a lot of what he said is real and factual, the same way I have to assume that a lot of what Obama says is real and factual. Now, let's get to the negatives. Did both of them probably manipulate words? Did both of them possibly have some facts wrong? Did both of them maybe stretch things a little? Probably.
Starting point is 00:26:02 And for that, I hate this process. I hate to see grown men who are asking for our trust, our vote, to fabricate things, to distort things, whether it be on purpose or by accident. And if it is by accident, shame on you for not knowing your facts. You have to believe two guys at their level have to know their facts, okay? But I thought Romney came across really well. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:26:32 I'm not even here to talk about, you know, who won the debate so much, even though I did address that. I think it's fascinating. And I always say the best man win. You know, if Obama kicked his ass, hooray for Obama. Kudos. And I'm applauding that guy. Romney won this one.
Starting point is 00:26:50 good for him. I think we can all agree. Obama probably not a easy opponent to beat, to make look bad. So no matter which way you're leaning, you don't have to give it to Romney. I'm not going to be that guy. You have to give it to Romney. No, you can do whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:27:09 But come on. I mean, wouldn't you draw the conclusion that Romney might have won that one? Most people have. Anyways. Here's where it gets. sour and makes me disappointed in the whole process. And again, this is, this is Democrat or a public, okay? He won.
Starting point is 00:27:29 We established that. He won on all the things that made him win. Good, bad, ugly, charisma, humor. Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. Obama had the same chance to do it. He failed. He dropped the ball. And so Romney walked away.
Starting point is 00:27:46 The victor is chest out, his head held high. even his opponents were praising him. But then the next day, and this is where it gets vile, President Obama and his crew and people in the party and, you know, campaign managers and people like that just went on the air and said, oh, Romney, Romney lied. He's just a liar.
Starting point is 00:28:11 The guy's a flat-out liar. Everything he said up there was a lie. Because, of course, Obama, didn't have one lie, did he? No, if you fact-checked everything Obama said, everything was right on the mark. And again, this isn't about picking sides, because I don't pick sides.
Starting point is 00:28:31 I've told you guys, I go for who I think gives the best presentation and plays into what I believe, okay? But what's sad is when you see this vitriol, this demeaning of, the other person is this this horrible uh just uh oh sickening vile negativity and name calling and and uh you know beating down the other person because they beat you this this is a democracy man that this is the united states of america you guys signed up to run for president
Starting point is 00:29:15 right you stood up to the podium to spout your ideas, spout your policies, spout your ideals as well as your ideas. And if one of you came out on top, tip your hat and walk away and regroup
Starting point is 00:29:38 and come back another day and show us what you got. In this case, Obama. Come back. You're a smart guy. You're already the president. You did it. You know how to do this. Take a bow, step back, regroup, and come at Romney with everything you got. All the guns blazing, man.
Starting point is 00:29:59 But to the next day go, who was that guy on stage? Which one is he? He's a liar. Nothing he said was true. He's a liar. And there's people listening right now, I can guarantee you go, yeah, that's right. He is a liar. No.
Starting point is 00:30:16 You're just saying that because you want to buy. into the party line. You want to buy in to the hype and the propaganda. And it wasn't all lies. I'm conceding. Maybe there was some, but there was some on both sides. But this country shouldn't be about that, man. There should be a sense of dignity. There should be a sense of gamesmanship. Sportsmanship. How about some honor and some respect? That's what the debates are for to respectfully let each man prove what he's got. Prove how much he wants it. Prove what he's got to say.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Show his passion. And if Obama doesn't show up for the occasion, then shame on him. Why turn it around on Romney and lamb-based the guy and go, liar, liar, you're a liar, you're horrible, oh, you're evil. Shouldn't you really be turning the spotlight on you and go, you know what guys I just didn't have it last night I didn't do it well why don't you call Romney a liar because he brought his A game I just didn't do it so let's focus on me I didn't do it
Starting point is 00:31:33 I didn't bring I didn't bring what I needed to bring I lost the debate but I'm going to get the next one because this is America and have another chance so there you go i think it's sad and i don't want anybody to go oh you love romney you love you love obama no i would be having this conversation if obama won and romney lost and romney started calling obama a liar with everything he did and and trying to take away tarnish his victory okay so don't start taking aside and making an opinion about what I think. That's not what this conversation is about,
Starting point is 00:32:17 well, I guess we know where Harlan stands. That's not what this is. This is me talking to you about civilians as people, about pride and dignity and all that stuff I mentioned, man. I mean, can you imagine if at the Olympic Games, you know, Americans went up against, you know, Russia or China in the gymnastics. And everyone went out on the mat and the pomehorse and the rings.
Starting point is 00:32:54 And each team gave it everything they got. And after, let's say, the United States won the gold or Russia won the gold, the other team ran up and said, you're a liar. You cheated. You cheated. You didn't win that thing. But yet everyone watched it. Everyone watched it on camera.
Starting point is 00:33:15 They watched them do the flips. They watched them do the twirls. They watched the judges put in the numbers. And if another country walked up to another country and rubbed it in their face and accused them of being cheaters because they won, you would shake your head and go, good Lord. That looks really bad. I'm ashamed that our country did that.
Starting point is 00:33:42 That other country put it out there, they played harder, they played better, they won. We got a silver and they got a gold, and I got to accept that, and next Olympics, I'm coming for the gold. And I guess where I'm going with this is I wish that principle applied with these men that are supposed to be the moral leaders of not just our country, but maybe the world. and to not be a gentleman about it and to not step away from your ass-whipping gracefully and acknowledge. But to turn around in a...
Starting point is 00:34:23 Let me ask you this. How many of you listening have ever had someone point in your face and call you a liar? There's a lot of swear words out there. I'm just going to say it for the point of this segment. And how does it feel when someone points in your face and says, hey, fucker, hey, motherfucker. Hey, asshole. Those are strong words and they hurt.
Starting point is 00:34:46 You've all felt that before. It's like, ow, that guy just called me a fucker right to my face. So here's another word that really has the same impact. Has anyone ever walked up to you and right in your face said, you're a liar. Lyer. You. Yeah, I'm looking at you. You're a liar.
Starting point is 00:35:05 it's got that same impact that same disgusting like ugh and uh you know that's what i think happened here is you you just you can't use that that vile stuff when when you're running to be uh the leader of the country i just i look this is just me okay you could think this whole segment was awash and go, Harlan, grow up, what world are you living in? Blah, blah, blah. Look, I grew up in politics, okay? My dad was a very prominent politician,
Starting point is 00:35:43 and my dad never resorted to that, and I'm very proud of my dad for that. My dad was a high-level politician in Canada, and I was around it. I grew up in it, and I watched my dad take the high road. And I saw guys growing up take the low. road and I was always very proud of my father and maybe that's where this segment comes from that to see these grown men to do this to each other after the fact it's just it's just very
Starting point is 00:36:16 unsettling to me but hey what are you going to do let's just hope that that kind of stuff fades out it's not likely but I certainly wish it did And, you know, again, I'm not preaching a party here. I'm talking about the morality of debating in a free world with a choice to use whichever words you want to get your point across without being a little baby the next day if you lost. So that being said, let's look forward to the next debates, the next rounds. I don't know who wins, but I'm going to tell you this, ladies and
Starting point is 00:37:05 Fenerd Lnergens, whoever wins it, Barack or Romney, good for them. Congratulations in advance to the winner. Whether I like you or not, whether you won the, whether you won the debate, but at the end of the day, I don't agree with you, I would still say way to go. and tip my hat and step away like a gentleman. Wow, how do we go from Cinnamon Boy to this? Okay, maybe that's, look, I hope you guys find the beauty of that in my podcast. I try to sprinkle it with, you know, funny and insightful and serious and silly. And, you know, I try to put everything in here.
Starting point is 00:38:01 And I know I always run the risk when you talk about anything political. People are like, oh, God. But that's why I always, you know, tend to try to keep it off of parties, political parties, and talk about politics. But I hope you got something out of it. Maybe you didn't. Maybe, you know, this is your last podcast. I don't know. But I always urge people if there's one segment they don't like not to not to,
Starting point is 00:38:31 cancel their subscription because there's so much more to enjoy and I shouldn't even be sitting here grovelling it's just I know people get so passionate about this and um you know I don't want it to sound like I'm up here preaching about politics but I'm uh I'm not I'm talking about the game of politics and that's it that's it I'm going to debate my way out of this and uh we're at the end of the show man and I don't know, I might have won this debate or I might have lost it. I don't know, but you can call me up. Just don't call me a liar.

But if you have a respectful argument like I was just talking about and you want to be respectful and honorable, I'm happy to hear whatever you say, even if it's negative. But if you're just going to be vitriolic the way the stuff I was just talking about,
