Starting point is 00:00:00 Release the Cracken. Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm. We're releasing the Crackin. Yeah, we're talking about giants on today's podcast. Hi, I'm Harlan Williams. I'm a giant. And you are on the Harland Highway, the never-ending highway.
Starting point is 00:00:17 So that makes it a giant highway. But we're going to be talking about different types of giants. We're going to be talking about giants in the entertainment industry like Beyonce. Did you see her on the Super Bowl? Gotta talk about Beyonce. And then something amazing. They found a giant at the bottom of the sea. This is very exciting.
Starting point is 00:00:42 This is real live documentation of a mythical creature that's finally been filmed and fascinating stuff. A little scary, a little nervous for the outcome. But we'll get into that as we keep on rolling down the highway. And then we're going to have two more giants in the entertainment industry. Madonna versus Lady Gaga. I recently went to see Lady Gaga, and I walked away feeling like she was ripping Madonna off a little bit. We're going to get into it.
Starting point is 00:01:21 We're going to play some back-to-back songs. You be the judge. Oh, it's going to be good. Right here on 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.
Starting point is 00:01:41 What's up, Brock? 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:01:58 This is your fucking wake-up call. You're riding down the Harland Highway with Harland Williams. In 30 seconds, you'll be dead. I'll blow this place up and be home in time for cornflakes. It's one of the most mysterious creatures on the planet, but perhaps not for much longer. Filmmakers have released video footage of a giant squid in its natural deep sea habitat,
Starting point is 00:02:25 something that's never been done before. The video was shot last July. near Ogasawara Islands off Japan. It was done for a documentary produced by NHK and the Discovery Channel. The animal the crew caught on camera was three meters long, and it's easy to see why the giant squid inspired the myth of the Krakken. Release the Krakken! Oh yeah, they found it, ladies and Gennertl Flurdens.
Starting point is 00:02:56 They found the giant squid. finally after all these years did you did you watch it did you see it on the discovery channel release the cracker no oh yeah they found it way way down at the bottom of the ocean uh i don't know if you saw this thing on the discovery channel pretty fascinating. The giant squid has been more elusive than Willie Nelson's dental flaws. There's been myths about this creature. There's been
Starting point is 00:03:47 rumors about this creature. And if you're wondering what it is, it's a squid. You've all seen a squid. You've all eaten calumari. But this is a giant squid. And there have been reports through history of, you know, squid as long as over 175 feet long. And scientists have a feeling that they could be even longer, maybe over 200, maybe 300 feet. I don't know. But because they haven't been able to find any, they haven't been able to study them, they don't know a lot about them.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Now, when I say they haven't found any, I mean alive. They have found carcasses washed up on beaches, and they've found pieces of giant squid caught in fishing lines and fishing nets. But no one has ever seen one alive or filmed one alive. And so this is a fascinating special on Discovery Channel. If you get a chance, you know, DVR it and watch the footage, because it's really interesting to, it's almost like someone, saying, oh, they've never caught a big foot on film
Starting point is 00:05:02 or the Lochness monster or aliens. But this is a real live creature that dwells in the deepest parts of the ocean. And they finally sent a research team went out and finally caught footage of this thing swimming in its natural environment. And what they did is they dropped a robotic camera down to the bottom of the...
Starting point is 00:05:29 ocean off the coast of Japan very very deep part of the ocean and um they put some colored lights on the camera and they they figured out the pattern there's a a type of luminescent jellyfish that lives very deep down and when it's being attacked it actually lights up it does a light show and uh it's an amazing uh survival mechanism that it has has, it does this light show hoping to attract a bigger predator to the one that's attacking it. So in other words, it's doing the light show hoping that while it's being attacked, its colorful lights will bring in a bigger predator to attack the thing that's attacking it.
Starting point is 00:06:20 It's ingenious. And so one of the scientists was able to duplicate this light display that these jellyfish put on and she had a theory that, hey, if I imitate the light show, a giant squid would come flying in thinking a predator is eating a jellyfish and claim the predator as its meal. So she dropped this thing down. They left it down there for like three or four days. And sure enough, they got footage of it of the giant squid, which was one thing.
Starting point is 00:06:58 But then even better, if you watch the special, some scientists go down in a submersible, a little mini submarine, and they go way, way, way, way down, and they have some bait hanging out in the water, and sure enough, the elusive mythical giant squid shows up. And it's pretty exciting, man.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I don't know how excited you get by seafood. But it's quite fascinating to lay eyes on something that no one has really laid eyes on before. And to give you some perspective on the size of these squid and the power and, you know, the strength that they have, these squid do battle with whales. They actually fight it out with sperm whales. I guess sperm whales attacked them.
Starting point is 00:07:52 And, I mean, imagine something that has the girth and the tenacity and the size to do battle with a full-grown sperm whale. So that's pretty cool, man. Now, here's the downer part that I don't like, okay? Here's where, unfortunately, due to the greediness of mankind, I have to turn a positive into a negative. My big worry now is that they've proven they're there, they've figured out how to reach them,
Starting point is 00:08:26 they've figured out how to kind of attract them now my question is how soon do the greedy fishermen start violating and exploiting these magnificent creatures so that they can be sold as calamari at a seafood restaurant and for those of you that don't think it'll happen believe me it will it's very sad it's sad whenever anything gets exposed to mankind.
Starting point is 00:08:58 There's those of us that are just like, wow, what a fascinating discovery. I wonder what we can learn from this. And then there's the other half of society that goes, wow, finally somebody's going to show me where this species of animal is so I can plunder them and kill them and chop them up and harvest them and feed them to humans or skin them or do whatever you do to make a God-forsaken dollar. And that's where I'm really nervous. That's where I'm like, maybe it was better we didn't find them.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Because now that they found them, they proved they're there. They kind of figured out a method. You know, there's probably guys out there right now, like Japanese fishermen, Norwegian fishermen, American fishermen. I don't know who. People down there jigging for giant squid, and how long until they're on the endangered species list, how long until the balance of the ocean is out of whack?
Starting point is 00:10:01 It terrifies me. So in a way, I'm happy, and in a way, I'm very sad that they found this thing. To give you an example, I was watching a nature show a couple of months ago, and there was this guy that had dedicated his life to sharks. He just loved sharks, and this guy would go and dive down. He'd swim with them. He had no fear of sharks.
Starting point is 00:10:23 He'd been studying them, doing all kinds of research, studying their habits, studying their mating rituals, finding out where they lay their eggs, et cetera, et cetera. Real passion for sharks. And he stumbles on this place in the ocean. I forget where it is. But somehow erosion and the constant hammering of the tides and the waves and the currents had somehow carved out what almost looked like a giant clay bowl. okay about half the length of a football field and it had carved out into the rock and the gravel and the sand
Starting point is 00:11:00 it almost looked like a big clay bowl it looked like it was in about you know 60 50 feet of water and this guy stumbles on this thing and he filmed it and it was just beautiful it was magnificent and uh he filmed the sharks swimming around in it schools of sharks like he'd never seen before and they'd obviously assembled for a reason and because of the shape of this bowl it created some kind of current that made some kind of a circular swirl and it was good for the sharks and they were using it as a very special mating place or something and here's this guy going oh my god i've found this thing nobody's ever seen it before he presents his findings to the world okay he shows his nature special thinking everyone's going to be like oh what a great scientific fine this is incredible we're going to learn so much and here's the sad part folks this is what i was alluding to earlier this guy goes back a year later okay still documenting with his
Starting point is 00:12:06 camera crew goes back a year later and there's not one shark okay they've been decimated fishing boats went in the minute they found out about this sacred place obliterated it not one shark this guy came up out of the water crying he was crying and he actually said he goes i can't believe i exposed the sharks to humanity i can't believe i let this secret out of the bag i told the world thinking that they were they would embrace it and protect it and instead mankind went in and destroyed it and poached all the sharks and obliterated whatever it was they were doing there. I've never seen a man so crushed up and sad
Starting point is 00:12:58 knowing that he led the way to this salad bowl full of sharks. And they were all just slaughtered for profit, for who knows what. And you see him underwater swimming around in the same place that when he was there before was just swirling. It was like a cereal bowl, and the cereal was sharks. Like hundreds of sharks just going around and around communicating with each other and mating and doing what they needed to do. And now this guy goes back down and he's got flashlights and he's searching all around and it's just empty. It looks like a swimming pool, nothing in it.
Starting point is 00:13:41 And it was just heartbreaking. And the imagery and to see this guy so crushed up over it. emotionally. And I don't know what to say about, you know, the cracking or the giant squid. I just hope to hell they leave you the hell alone, man. I'm sure there's a damn good reason you were hiding. I'm sure the giant squid was like, you know what, man, I've seen what they've done.
Starting point is 00:14:12 I've seen what they've done to the sharks and the dolphins and the whales. You know what? I'm going to hide my ass. I'm going down to the deepest part of the ocean. I'm staying away from them motherfucking two-leg, upright, walking devils. Man, they just eat everything, man. They're like pigs. Eat everything they can get.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Just pull us up and kill us and chop us up. A bunch of monsters. And now the jig is up and this documentary is out where they're like, look at this great scientific discovery. And all these fishermen are going, No, look at all this excellent giant calamari. We could charge $70 per calumari ring with this giant. Chiching, chiching, chiching, chiching, chiching, chiching, chiching, chiching.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Humans. So I hope they don't get to the giant squid, man. I just hope. And if they do get to the giant squid, I hope he fights back. I hope he comes up out of the ocean and eats them. I'll be the first one to stand on the end of the dock with my robe and my crown in my hair and my staff in my hand and just yelling out to the ocean spray,
Starting point is 00:15:33 release the Kraken! Release the Kraken! Release Beyonce's giant legs. Yeah, that's right. Did you watch the Super Bowl gang? I mean, Beyonce's legs. I mean, these things look like giant redwoods. She'd be gotten some chunky legs, man.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I don't know if it does it for you guys. Not my thing. Just not into the chunky. leg. You know, it looks great at the front. Okay? A leg at the front looks like a leg. But rest assured, if that leg is chunky, if that leg is wide, turn that sucker around and just look for the sign that's as welcome to Cellulite City. You notice Beyonce never, like, kind of shows us the back of her legs.
Starting point is 00:16:46 and you notice she's always wearing like tights, she always wears like leotards or nylons or something hell no oh hell no she doesn't she ain't exposing the back of her legs you kidding me
Starting point is 00:17:02 welcome to cellulite city and I don't know does Bianca say need to go and take walking lessons is it apparent to you as it is to me that she stomps everywhere. She just doesn't know how to walk. She, like, stomps along, pulls her knees way up,
Starting point is 00:17:24 she stomps her feet down, her waist twisting back and forth. I mean, what is with her leg? Does she have restless leg syndrome? Why can't she just take a normal step? I mean, man, talk of it. She'd be great at making her own wine. She's always stomping her legs up and down.
Starting point is 00:17:48 You'll watch her walk. It looks like she's stepping on ants. Like there's bugs crawling around. She's like, oh, got to step on that ant. Crunch, crunch, crunch. What the hell? Can you just like slow it down, tone the energy back, and maybe just walk? Can you do that for us, Beyonce?
Starting point is 00:18:16 I don't know, man. There's something to be said about dancing and dance moves and gracefulness and sexiness. Beyoncé's moves to me are just violent. They're very aggressive. Very aggressive and very, I don't know. Confrontational. Look at me. I'm walking.
Starting point is 00:18:41 I'm stepping on ants and stepping on ladybugs and worms. I'm crushing grapes. When I finish walking, I get thirsty. I have myself a homemade of 1972 Beyonce Pino-Gua. I mean, what a name. That is, her name sounds like a wine. Yes, waiter, could I have two glasses of Beyonce, please? Yes, white and red.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Thank you, yes. Oh, Beyonce, oh, oh, oh. Easy Charles Nelson Riley. I mean, if she's going to stomp around like that, like an angry elephant, or a rhino with a thorn in its hoof, somebody throw down some bushels of grapes. Throw a basket in front of her. You know how football players run through the tires?
Starting point is 00:19:44 You ever see them training? They got, like, car or truck tires on the field, and the guys have to run through them. There's about 40 tires. How about we slap down 40 crates of grapes? And as Beyonce walks along stomping, she can crush the crap out of the grapes and create some wonderful, delicious wine. Hey, baby, I'm going for a little walk. Yeah, well, it's not really a walk. I'm going to make some product.
Starting point is 00:20:18 I might as well, while I'm walking, I'm exuding all this energy, I might as well make some Beyonce wine. You don't. I mean, what's the point of walking all that way? Not making any money. Might as well make some money while I'm walking, right? So I'm going to walk down to the mailbox. I'm going to check on the mail.
Starting point is 00:20:38 I'm going to walk back. And in that spending of time, I'm going to make 70 kegs of wine. Beyonce wine. Mm-hmm. What up? Beyonce. Yes, wait, I could have another glass of Beyonce. It's absolutely delicious.
Starting point is 00:20:59 The last glass you gave me, though, do you mind? I found the heel of a shoe in it. Could you... Is it possible to get it without the heel? Oh, ha, ho! Charles. Oh, Nelson, Riley. Oh, what the hell is wrong?
Starting point is 00:21:20 I'm drunk on Beyonce. That's what it is. So there you go. That's my Beyonce rant. And you know what? Just for that, I'm in the mood. I've released the Beyonce. So one more time I'd like to...
Starting point is 00:21:39 Release the Kraken. And speaking of female performer phenoms, I don't know if I told you cats this or not, but about a month ago, yours truly went to see none other than Lady Gaga, which I don't think could be a wine, but maybe like a TV dinner. Hi, kids, guess what's for dinner? What? How about some nice TV lady Gaga's? Yay!

Starting point is 00:23:36 I don't know. I'm trying here. I'm trying to spread the ingenuity around. So, you know, a friend of mine was going to see Lady Gaga. It was like a Saturday night. I had nothing to do. And I kind of got half invited and half invited myself. And I was like, I was like, all right, I'll go see it. It was a free ticket. There were great seats, you know.
Starting point is 00:24:05 So I went to see her. And I went with an open mind. You know, I can't say I'm a huge Lady Gaga fan. but I heard she's an incredible performer and she puts on a great show and you know and so uh I thought what the hell you know I remember as a kid I had the you know had the chance to go and see prints and you know when when you're when you're younger you're like yeah right like I'm going to go see a guy who wears like women's fishnet stockings yeah sorry I'm too macho like I couldn't get around all that
Starting point is 00:24:41 BS, all the, all the phony, you know, the costumes and the effeminate ways that Prince had. But at the end of the day, the guy was a great musician. He's incredible. And I always regretted that I didn't go. And I thought, well, maybe Lady Gaga's the same deal. Prince was a true original. Maybe Gaga is a true original. So I went.
Starting point is 00:25:05 And I got to say, I tried to be objective. I mean, I didn't try. I was objective. and I tried not to be opinionated. I kept an open mind. Obviously, she's super popular. People love her. And I went, and in all honesty,
Starting point is 00:25:24 I didn't go in with any bias. I did not love what I saw. I enjoyed the energy. I enjoyed being there with my friends. I enjoyed the atmosphere. But, you know, when it comes right down to it, that's not what I'm there for. to see this performer and
Starting point is 00:25:41 eh I had a lot of problems with it um first of all the presentation I didn't necessarily like she had this giant set it was like a looked like a giant castle and she came out of the castle upstairs downstairs
Starting point is 00:26:00 from under the floorboards through the window I mean I don't know where didn't she come through them through the sewer pipe maybe and so she had this giant castle and then one of the reasons you go to a concert, I think, is the musical element. You kind of want to see the people playing music.
Starting point is 00:26:21 You want to connect with the musicians. And what Lady Gaga did is she kind of hid the musicians behind the walls of this castle. You could see them through the walls and through openings, but they were kind of like window dressing. And they were kind of concealed and not, on prominent display. So you didn't really get to see them very clearly.
Starting point is 00:26:44 And they weren't really lit very well. So the musicians almost became an afterthought. So I didn't like that. And then Gaga herself was supposed to be the focal point. But the problem with that is she's a tiny person, okay? She's not very tall. She's petite. And she came out with like 40 dancers around her.
Starting point is 00:27:07 And I'm like, well, which one's Lady Gaga? Who? What? Huh? So I had trouble figuring out who she, which one was her a lot of the time. And then when you finally did pick her out, she was dressed like an eggplant or a, you know, a potato. She was dressed as like an unborn chicken. She had like a roast beef over her eyes. She had like a salad bowl on her head. She was wearing like snowboards on her feet.
Starting point is 00:27:38 I don't know. Like, you know what? Sometimes too much costume really kind of blurs your identity. Like, I get it that Cher does it. You know, but Cher doesn't hide her face. You know, Cher keeps her face out there. And Lady Gaga had so much wacky stuff going on. I just kind of lost track of her even existing.
Starting point is 00:28:07 And then the other problem, I had as Lady Gaga, I think I've talked about this before, tries to present herself as very sexual and physical, and she's always sticking her ass out there and revealing a little too much thigh and butt cheek and cleavage.
Starting point is 00:28:24 The problem is, guys, and girls, I just don't find her that attractive. Okay, if I'm being a total, like, sexist pig, and I got a grade Lady Gaga, I'm sorry, I'm being, honest, as a guy, I'd give for about a four out of ten. And I'm just not good with girls that ain't that hot, trying to pretend that they're hot.
Starting point is 00:28:50 And then secondly, stuffing their junk in my face. I'm sorry, man, you're not that good-looking. I don't want to see your ass necessarily. I don't want to see your boobs or your thighs. Because you're really not turning me on. You're kind of grossing me out. It's like you're trying too hard. It's like you're over-compensating.
Starting point is 00:29:13 I'm not that good-looking, but if I show you my ass, will you think I'm sexy? Oh, ha, ha, ha, no. And then we go from all that physical stuff to the music. Okay, the girl, the woman can sing. I'm going to give her that. She's got the pipe. She can sing. She's got the energy.
Starting point is 00:29:33 She can dance. Not amazing, but she can put on a show. but at the end of the day I think when it comes to music you're there for the music you're there for the beach you're there for the sound you're there for the vocals right
Starting point is 00:29:48 and listen man I grew up through went through the whole Madonna thing and I could hear in her music a lot of similarities to Madonna let's start with Madonna
Starting point is 00:30:07 with Madonna's Spanish tune that she does. It's like Ablihosta Bablisa or something. I don't know how you say it. You'll recognize the song. This is Madonna's like a Spanish tune type thing that she did. Check it out. Last night I dreamt up San Diego Just like I never gone
Starting point is 00:30:51 I knew the song Young girl with eyes like the desert It all seems like yesterday not far away Tropical the island drink All that makes your world is free This is where I love to be, La Isla Bonita. And when the summer waves, the star was so high, and through my ears and sting my eyes, your Spanish never mind.
Starting point is 00:31:32 I'm there in love with Somedaygo. Okay, right? all know that song. Astley Bostleaflo, or whatever it is. Now, here's Lady Gaga's song called El Fernando, and I don't know. Is it just me, or do these sound pretty close? Not only the sound of the song, but the singing, the voice. Don't call my name.
Starting point is 00:32:07 I don't want to touch, just want my cigarette, don't call my name, don't call my name. Romero, Alejandro, Alejandro, Alejandro, Alejandro, Alejandro, Alejandro, Alejandro. Tropical in the island race, all that makes your world is great,
Starting point is 00:32:34 this is where I love to be, I don't know. I'm just saying a little, Madonna's, uh, have a little close. And then try this song, Madonna's, uh, respect yourself. Here, have a little snippet of this. Don't go for second best, baby, put your love to the test. You know, you know you've got to make him express how it feel. Baby, then you know your love is real. You don't need diamond rings on 18-carriage gold.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Fancy cars will go very fast. You know they never last. No, no. What you need is to fix your hand to lift you to your higher ground. Make you feel like this queen on the phone Make you love it till you can't come down Don't go for a second best, baby Put your love to the test
Starting point is 00:33:51 You know you know you've got to Make him express how it feels And maybe then you know your love is real Okay, you all know that song Now here's Gaga So hold your head of gun and you're going to stay. I'm on the right. I'm on the right chat.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Okay, one more time. Madonna, real quick clip. And Lady Gaga. So hold your head and you know you're going to make him express how it feels. And maybe then you know your love is real. I don't know. Is it just me? Am I the only one hearing it? Anyways, I guess the reason these songs jumped out at me so much is because even watching Lady Gaga on stage strutting around doing her concert,
Starting point is 00:35:20 it reminded me a lot of what Madonna does on stage. And it's not like Madonna has the patent on showmanship or whatever it is she does. but I got to tell you, man, Lady Gaga was a little too close to our dude Madonna for my liking. And it's not like I'm a big Madonna fan. But I don't know. If I was Madonna and I'm sitting in that crowd watching Lady Gaga from the dancing to the show to some of the hairstyles to the costumes to the sound to some of the music, I might be a little bit like, yo, oh hell no.
Starting point is 00:36:00 you know what I mean back off beauch i don't know i mean it's tough in the entertainment industry people cross over people are influenced by people now i'm not going to sit here and say that lady gaga is a plagiarist that lady gaga sits down and goes oh madonna wrote a song just like this but maybe some riffs got stuck in her head subliminally i don't know they sound a little close to me. And the other side of the Lady Gaga show that I didn't necessarily love, I found the whole presentation
Starting point is 00:36:37 a bit pretentious. It was a little bit too artsy-fartsy. There comes a point when you go, okay, is this person really an artist? Or are they just presenting what an artist would present? Like if they kind of gone,
Starting point is 00:36:55 well, if I put an eggshell on my head and I do this and is this kind of what people will think is art? I don't know. I'm not discounting her. I don't want to be mean. I don't want to say that she's not an artist. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:12 I was a little suspicious. And then the last thing I'll talk about is she was a little preachy. You know, she was a little bit preachy up there talking about how we should all get along and how, you know, everybody has meaning. And, you know, it was kind of all positive messages. But then she kind of threw in some contradictory negative messages. She was talking about how everyone should be good and try their best and not cause shit. And then like 10 minutes later, she was asking people in the crowd if they had drugs and to smoke joints and have a drink.
Starting point is 00:37:59 and be rebellious, and then a little later on after that, she walked out on stage with a bra that was two machine guns. Literally they were like rubber or plastic machine guns sticking out of her boobs. They came out probably about a foot, maybe a little longer than a foot, 12, 14 inch replicas of machine guns. and this was just after the Sandy Hook incident where those poor children were massacred. Now, not that, you know, I'm not one to say, oh, well, some people were killed,
Starting point is 00:38:41 you can never show guns again. But I don't know. Lady Gaga has a young, influential audience, and I don't know if, you know, having guns out there is really what you want. I mean, there's heavy metal bands that don't show that kind of imagery. And here's a little bit of her at the concert.
Starting point is 00:39:07 I caught some of her like preaching and talking, and I don't know if it's annoying to you, but it kind of got annoying to me. Check it out. And I used to walk in there and they'd be talking about my crazy clothes and my crazy ideas about everything. And I thought, well, you might not think that I'm like you. and you may not think I'm like
Starting point is 00:39:29 anybody else that's making music right now but at least I know who the fuck I am I don't know do you really know who the fuck you are I mean one second you're dressed as an eggplant and the next second you're you look like you're in a lobster trap I don't know
Starting point is 00:39:48 look this is a mixed review I know it's leaning a little negative but I'm just keeping it real I give her points for being, you know, an energetic performer. She's definitely got some talent, but maybe, you know, the areas I touched on, her music and her style and her show is very close to what Madonna does. And, you know, I didn't get all the speeches in there that I heard, but maybe a little bit too preachy and contradictory.
Starting point is 00:40:24 So it's not a glowing review. Let's be honest. But I, as a reformer myself, I respect anyone who gets up on stage and she makes millions of people happy and they love her music. So I got to give her all that. But I'm keeping it real with the other stuff. Some of the negatives. I'm also touching on the positives. I'm careful.
Starting point is 00:40:50 You know, I don't like to slam people and just say they're crap. So I'm offering up the good and the bad, as I see it. This may, this will not be your opinion. This may not be anybody's opinion. It's my own opinion. Just trying to keep it real in the deal. But, hey, you know, God bless you. Go out there, do your thing.
Starting point is 00:41:15 And maybe Lady Gaga wants to review the Harland Highway. She's welcome to. She can praise it. She can slam it. She can take some tracks and compare it to other podcasts. Who knows? Maybe my podcast sounds just like some other guys. Oh, I hope not.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Because if it does, then I'm going to start singing my podcast, and it's going to sound a lot like Madonna. Okay? Give me some Madonna. And we'll go out on that. Um, God. Maybe I shouldn't go to these concerts. I get too involved.
Starting point is 00:41:55 They get too invested. But I had a good time. It was fun. And there you go. I'm going to leave it right there.
