Senor Fuentes is dropping by, my gardener. Well, why is that exciting? He's the most annoying gardener in the world. I should fire him, but I never do. So he'll be by later. We're
Starting point is 00:00:44 going to be talking about a reality show. Yours truly actually went and audition for a reality show. Wait do you hear about it, man. I got some live footage from the audition during the the process of the audition. I did this crazy reality show audition on a show called Shark Tank, where I took my invention, and I'll let you listen to that. Also, we're going to be taking your phone calls, the pavement pounders,
Starting point is 00:01:15 I've left their messages on my answering machine. We are going to listen to what they have to say. I'm sure it'll be intelligent and insightful and wonderful and funny and smelly. It always is smelly Right here on the Harland Highway Welcome to the Harland Highway Alright let's get this sucker going
Starting point is 00:01:36 Huh You're causing a major disturbance on my time It's the Harland Highway What's up, Brad? 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 00:01:52 Am I hallucinating here Just what in the hell do you think you're doing? You just made a wrong turn onto the Harland Highway. This is your fucking wake-up call, man. 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 Corn Flakes. Okay, so I left you hanging last podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:15 I was talking about yours truly went in and auditioned on a reality show called Shark Tank, where I'll give it to you briefly, average folks, any people, all walks of life, take an invention they've created and they go in and stand in front of some panels and they have a minute to pitch their invention and if the panel likes it, then they get to come back and go through the vetting process and eventually if they make it on to the show, they get to stand in the shark tank in front of five billionaire invests. and try and interest these investors in their invention and see if they can partner up and go to market. And it's a crazy show. It's on ABC. It's called Shark Tank. And, yeah, I went in for it, man. I went out and I stood in the line, they stood in the line for hours and hours and hours, clustered in with like 5,600 people, huge line all the way down the street.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Uh, you know, I actually sent my friend over to the, uh, the drug store to buy some, uh, some cheap chairs. And we full, unfolded chairs and we sat on out on the sidewalk, traffic going by. People walking their dogs, people riding their bikes. And all these, uh, hopeful people with their inventions waiting in this giant line auditioning for Shark Tank. what a nutty experience it was fun so i promised you last show that uh i would uh i would play some some foot some uh some some sound bites that i recorded while i was in line i uh you know some of the other people started chatting to me i tried to keep a low profile i had the baseball cap on and the sunglasses wasn't really talking too much to anybody but you know sure enough when you're
Starting point is 00:04:25 standing in line with a bunch of people. Eventually, everyone starts talking to each other, and they got to me. And, of course, the main question is, well, what's your invention, Harland? And I'm like, in my head, I'm like, well, I don't want to tell my invention. Because if I tell my invention, someone might steal my invention. So I made up an invention on the spot. And I thought they'd just laugh at it because the invention I made up was, a boiling pancake.
Starting point is 00:04:59 They said, what did you invent? I said, oh, it's a pancake. You put it in boiling water and you make a boiling pancake. Which just immediately is ridiculous. But, you know, I guess people kind of were thinking, okay, anything's possible. And they started asking me about it. And so I just, you know, in order to not have to tell them about my real
Starting point is 00:05:24 invention. I just kept going on about my boiling pancake invention. And here's some of that conversation that happened waiting in line for the reality show Shark Tank. It doesn't mean you won't get it.
Starting point is 00:05:40 They got the chicken gumbo, maybe. Well, I think if they like chicken gumbo, they'll go for a boiled pancake. Why not? Is it a lock? No, I can't tell you the ingredients. Well, I'm assuming it's a secret. recipe. Where's a little potato, I'll give you that? There's a little potato. But you know, have you ever
Starting point is 00:06:02 seen a boiling pancake? Be careful. Listen, her family owns a million dollar food business. Which one? It's not the one she's pitching today. It's multi-million dollar. Yeah. Well, I bet they don't have a boiling pancake. So don't tell her too much. She might steal it. Well, we have round potato of potato chips too. See? We need potato chips. You're a direct competitor. Get out of here. So do you think a Boiling pancake would work, or are these guys going to kick the shark's going to kick me out? It's like a liquid batter, but it's in a foil, in like a foil pouch, you know? Oh, right, okay. So you could eat it in space, like, you could send it up to this.
Starting point is 00:06:35 So it's a good camping. It's good camping. It's good for outer space. It's very much. Yeah, they can always be. Yeah. Well, what about outer space, though? You know, and I know they look to do, do they boil water and outer space.
Starting point is 00:06:48 I think they do. I should have looked into that, but, um, gravity issue there. Yeah, right. The bubbles would float all over the ship, you're right. Well, camping. Yeah, floating hot water. But I think camping works. Camping. I like camping. Yeah, so would you take a boiling pancake camping? Yeah, because all you do float on it, right? Then I just stick it in inside. You're dripping in. Yeah, so I don't have to deal with like a pan and butter. It just boils in the Mixing the batter
Starting point is 00:07:22 Sounds like it's really easy to do Have you ever been to IHOP? Have you ever been to IHOP? Yeah It looks just like If you did a taste test You probably wouldn't know the difference Between an IHop pancake
Starting point is 00:07:35 And the Boilie Well I shouldn't have said the name That's the name of it, the Boilie So there you go As you can see You know My boiled pancake is really Peking everyone's interest
Starting point is 00:07:50 People are chiming in, they're asking where you can make it, where you can eat it. Can you eat it in outer space? Can you boil water in out of space? And it's going along. Everyone's chiming in on my boiled pancake. And as you can hear, all of a sudden I kind of improvised a name. I called it the Boile. And...
Starting point is 00:08:20 And once I labeled it, then that opened a whole new round of discussions where people weren't exactly thrilled with the name Boile, and one lady equated it to someone having boils on their skin, and she actually went ahead and it gave me a new name for it, which I actually liked. So have a listen to this. The Boile is born. Boiling a pancake? Boil, yes. No, doesn't that kind of bring up a boil? Ooh. Just throwing that out there.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Yeah, you're right. He's already got it on 100,000 packages. Oh. I can always change the name, though. I'm just, I mean, that's a good, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That's a good.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Yeah, I don't want to eat a pancake that remind you of eating someone's boils. Okay. I like that. Any time now. You're on it. No, I appreciate that. Hey, I'm at Target Market. It was talking about something that's easy to use, and I could boil it to use my kids.
Starting point is 00:09:25 How many kids do you have that would eat like a boiled pancake? I have three kids. Would they each eat a boiled pancake? It depends on what they taste like. Are they delicious? I think they're amazing. Yeah. Are you the only one?
Starting point is 00:09:38 Oh, no. I've passed them around to friends, old people. You could call them a boiling cake. That's good. Can I have that? Yeah. There you go. It's yours.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I like this one. If you make millions, though, you've got to come to later. Okay. I'll give you a free pack of boily cakes. That sounds good. It just sounds weird. Boily cakes. I like this.
Starting point is 00:10:02 This one's smart right here. Boily cakes. This one's smart right here. Boily cakes. Thank you. You're welcome. Keep the ideas coming. What else you got?
Starting point is 00:10:12 I don't know. I love it. I love it. So have you figured out the portable demonstration of making them out? All you need is like a crab pot and flame, and you drip it in. Because those camping burners. Yeah, Coleman, that's why it's so good. You can be portable.
Starting point is 00:10:32 And the sharks are going to be able to try it. It takes each one once the water's boiling. It's about a 32-second turnaround, but you have a pancake. That's perfect. That's fast. It's right in your presentation. Yeah. You can even, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:46 See, for me, as mom, who has to be my kids in the morning, that would be off. Yeah, perfect. Now throw on the water, as long as it tastes good. Oh, it tastes. Well, it's not that you can throw maple syrup on top of the way. Can you make them into it for shape by, like, you know, driveling it or? Uh, you know, that's another good idea. I've never done that.
Starting point is 00:11:03 I've never done that. Like a Mickey Mouse shape that feels on the top of the water? Yeah, you know, the kids love that crap. Yeah. Put that in and then stick it in the boiling water. Yes, like, like the poached eggs. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Like the eggy. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So you'd have a design. But you do it as a design that kids like a teddy bear. Yeah, no, I like this. I like this.
Starting point is 00:11:23 And you can sell it like on the, you can like actually put it on the side. Like so if you have a packet, you put their little teddy bear thing on the side as like an add-on, right? Yeah. Yeah. Are you kidding me? Yeah. The package with a little shaping. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:38 It makes it stand out. That's right. That's brilliant. It's a two-for. What's a two-for? That means it's two-for one. You can use it for other things. You can take it.
Starting point is 00:11:46 pick it up is that name patented twofer i like that too well it has nothing to do with boiling i know but i might i just like that name maybe you can come up with another product that works with the tufer i like that you can have that too i can yeah keep it coming man
Starting point is 00:12:04 the funniest thing is his business has nothing to do with boiling pancakes it's something totally different so there you go the people are starting to go on your nuts over the uh the boyley cake they give it a name and now they're talking about the packaging and the different shapes you can do and all the different types of things you can do with the boily cake and this is this boiling cake now I'm starting to think maybe this is a real thing
Starting point is 00:12:33 is there such a thing as a boiling pancake and then right at the end there you hear a guy who's there's starting to be some chinks in the armor some guy right at the end kind of throws in yeah the reality is uh it's probably not even his real business the funniest thing is his business has nothing to do with boiling pancakes and he's right he was starting to catch on i think uh through all the uh furor and all the frenzy for the boyley cake maybe he took a step back for a minute from from the fever that was rippling through the crowd, the boiling cake fever that was overcoming everybody.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Maybe he took a step off the curb and just went, wait a minute, wait a minute. And he just kind of watched him, and oh, this guy's having us on. And just so you know, I was having them on. And, you know, just so you know, these were great people. These were wonderful people. They were smart people. They were inventors. Some of them had their own companies already.
Starting point is 00:13:39 A lot of them that I talked to were very successful people. And they were smart enough to know that this was a place that could come and get in line and connect with potentially some really smart, successful billionaire people. So, you know, I was just kind of having fun. I wasn't trying to be a brat. I wasn't trying to make them look bad. It was all in good fun. And I thought, you know what?
Starting point is 00:14:07 Since they're jumping on the train, I'll just keep rolling through. this thing as long as I can, and, you know, it'll divert them away from asking about my real invention, which I had no intention to tell on anyone about. So these were wonderful, fun people, and I'll play you the last segment here where, you know, the Boilie Cake keeps gone, and now people are starting to hand me their business cards and want me to call them. Oh, look out IHop. Here comes the Boily Cake.
Starting point is 00:14:42 All right, Carlin, here you go. Oh, what's this? Oh, what's this? Oh, look at this. Thank you. CEO. What are you doing here if you're already CEO? I'm a CEO of the company I'm trying to get financing for.
Starting point is 00:14:57 All right, thank you. It's awesome. Hopefully it will. What's your thing again? What was your thing again? Carpool. No, your name for my pancakes. Boilie cakes.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Voily cakes. Better write that down. Yeah. No. Got it now? No. When I call you, remember that. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:18 I can't wait. All right. She just gave me the name. Oh, right. I guess that name again. Boilie cakes. Toot. Nope.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Not the sufer. We're going to see it in Costco. It's going to say tufer, boily cakes. Actually, I think chupur works better for like those meals. I'm going to just pitch up what Harlan. Yeah, you seem to want to help me a lot. I like this. Now after carpool to school, I'm going to come over here and help with the boiling cakes.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Thank you. That's very kind. Wow. So there you go. CEOs of companies, inventors, real estate people, all around me, and they all seem to want in on the Boily Cake. So there you go. Happy Flapjack's.
Starting point is 00:16:05 And, hey, good luck to all those people I met in line. I'll keep you guys posted on how my invention goes. And once I, you know, if I make it through, I can actually tell you what my invention is. It's not the Boily Cake. So if any of you out there want the Boilie Cake idea, go for it because everybody loves boiled pancakes. It's the All-Nove.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Boily Cake, wholesome, delicious, and wonderful. Yes, it's the delicious Boilie Cake. No more frying, no more mess, just drop your pancake mix right into the boiling water and have yourself a delicious flapjack with Boilie Cakes. Whoopi! Mums love them because they make no mess, and kids love them because they taste great. Cakes, whoopee! Wonderful!
Starting point is 00:17:11 Available in your grocer's freezer. Oh man, I can't wait to tell you about what happened to me last night. What? No! No! Oh, no! Roger! No!
Starting point is 00:17:29 Oh, what is he doing here? What is my gardener doing here, Ron. Roger. Oh, come on. I'm doing a podcast. What the hell are you doing here, Fuentes? My name is Senor Fuentes. I know who you are. You're my gardener. Do you see a garden in here? No, senor, I don't. Well, but your hair is awful messy, senor. Stop it. I am doing a podcast. I've told you a hundred times do not come in here with your gardening stuff. Signor, I had to come in today. It was an emergency.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Oh, really? Why did you have to come in here today? Because I have to give you the bird, signor. Wait a minute. Don't come in here and be giving me the bird, all right? Why not, Signore? I already gave it to your neighbors. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:18:24 I gave your neighbors the bird this morning, Signore. Oh, great. What the hell? Yes, signor. Oh, I saw them in the driveway and I walked right up to them. I give all of them the bird. Who was in the driveway? The family that lives next door, the old lady, the mother, the father, the four children,
Starting point is 00:18:43 even the baby I gave the bird to, signor. Look, there's a thing we have in this country called etiquette. You don't give the bird to families and children and an old lady? Oh, yes, signor. She could barely see, so I had to put the bird right up in her old face. I think she had a mustache, too. Stop saying that about old lady Hulahan. Oh, senor, I put the bird right in her face.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Oh, my God, they're going to sue me. And then the little girl, she was so cute, Signore, and her little pink dress and her piggy tails. Yes. Well, then I gave her the bird, too, senor. Oh, my God, you idiot. But really, I thought it best I'd come down here because once I gave them the bird,
Starting point is 00:19:31 they told me to come down here and give you the bird, senor. Look, I don't know why they said that. I get along with them. There's no reason why they should want me to have the bird. Well, senor. No, look, you give me the bird and you're fired. I've been dying to give you the bird, signor. Please. No, Fuentes, okay? You've been my gardener for how long? Fifteen and a half years, senor. Fifteen wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful. Just the most excellent years. Are you being sarcastic? I'm not sure what that means, signor.
Starting point is 00:20:11 I really don't. All right, smart guy. Maybe it's time you do give me the bird. Maybe this is a good reason for me to fire your ass. You know, you've been coming in here, stirring up trouble at my show, interrupting, barging in here, there's leaves in your hair, there's lady bugs on your neck,
Starting point is 00:20:32 There's ants on your pants. Oh, I like it when you rhyme and do children's stories, Signor. Do some more. What? Ants in your pants. That wasn't a children's rhyme. That was, you've got friggin' ants on your pants. Oh, ow.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Oh, senor, you're right. I've got, oh, ow. Stop screaming and jumping around in here, Fuentes. That's Senor Fuentes. All right, fine. You want to give me the bird, Fuentes? Is this building up in you? You don't like working for me?
Starting point is 00:21:04 My money's not good enough. I never said that, Signor. Come on. Go ahead. You want to do it? I dare you. Man up, Fuentes. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Give me the bird. Ready? I'll even count it down for you. Ready? Three, two, one. Give me the bird. Okay, senor. Here it is.

Did you just call me a snorkel forgan? Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:30:45 You think you are. Hello, Harlan. My name is Tim, and I just wanted to share my story with you. I'm listening to the Harlan Highway now for, oh gosh, I think about two years, and I'm a huge fan. So I'm 24 years old. I'm an actor. I'm an actor. I'm living in Chicago right now. And something interesting about me is that I also have a stutter, which, you know, like average everyday sort of interactions and everything are sort of hard for me.
Starting point is 00:31:29 And I've actually left you a few of voicemails and everything in the past, and a few of them ended up on the show and, you know, where you can hear me and stuff. And, you know, like you could hear, you know, that I have a stutter, which, like, off and on and stuff, sometimes you would sort of have a little lack of that, which, like, it was okay with me and stuff, you know, you always had a lot of class with it, and you're always, you know, it was all, it was all always in good fun. But, yeah, so anytime I'm up on stage or anything, or any time I'm acting, I did not have a stutter at all. trees up my voice. So that's how I end up in acting. But it's still pretty hard, you know, like to get acting work and stuff when like I'm at the audition and I have all these hard times and all these things pulling me back. But you always tell me to stay happy and you always tell me to stay, you know, just fighting it and stuff. You know, just keep doing what you've got to do and
Starting point is 00:32:41 keep shooting through your dreams. I just wanted to thank you. And, yeah, I hope you keep doing this podcast for a very long time. I'm a huge fan. And thanks a lot, buddy. See you later. There you go. Tim, who says he's a stutterer,
Starting point is 00:33:01 which is interesting because if you listen to that phone message, I don't hear it. I didn't really hear any stuttering. I would have never known. And if he hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have picked it up. So I went through and I listened. And here's the only little moment where it sounded like maybe you stuttered a little bit. You know, you just started and fighting it.
Starting point is 00:33:24 You're talking out. I was just keep doing what you got to do. And that's it. That was the little spot. So, dude, if you say you've got a stutter, it sounds like you got it under control. But, you know, maybe in your daily routine, it comes up a lot more. and it's interesting that Tim says that when he's acting, the stutter goes away, which is a common thing.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Apparently when stutter sing, they can sing stutter free. For some reason, the language of song eliminates the stutter effect. I could be wrong, but from what I've seen and heard, that's true. There was actually a contestant on American Idol this season, and you can probably go on YouTube and see the guy and this guy had an incredible stutter. I mean, I'm going to do a bad imitation just to drive home the point, but he was like, my name is Donnie and I want to sing like it was very severe,
Starting point is 00:34:26 but then when the guy sang, boom, completely gone. So it's kind of magical the way that, you know, certain things. I don't know if it's the pressure of acting or singing or it just, something clicks in the brain. And maybe because when you're acting, you become a different personality. You flip over and become a character. And maybe that's your brain going, well, this character doesn't stutter. This character has flawless speech patterns. And if that's the case, if that's what's preventing you from stuttering. That's an interesting case study right there.
Starting point is 00:35:12 The phenomenon of your brain assuming a different personality, therefore eliminating the stutter. That's something to look into. This could be some deep research happening here. And no, Dr. Ascot will not be getting in on this. Holland. No. Holland.
Starting point is 00:35:34 No, you're not. Holland. Was that you stuttering my name? No, no, ho holland. Stop it! We have a guy on the line who shared his stuttering things with us, and you're going to sit here and stuttered. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Tim, I'm sorry for that, idiot. God. So it sounds like you said I'd had fun with your stuttering in the past. You know what? probably didn't realize you were a stutter, and if you were stuttering, I get a lot of wacky phone calls here, so I probably thought you're probably goofing around with me. But it sounds like regardless of what I said in the past, you got a kick out of it, and I like that, man, whenever we perceive a human being to not be perfect, you know, if somebody's got
Starting point is 00:36:27 a stutter or somebody's got an ailment or somebody's, you know, talks different or whatever, it's like, it's so good when it's just accepting and people, you know, absorb who and what they are and they don't worry about having fun with it. So I'm glad we had some fun with it. I'm glad that, I'm glad you're getting inspiration from the Harland Highway. And, dude, just keep going. Keep doing what you're doing. Shoot for the stars, man.
Starting point is 00:37:01 And screw that stutter. ideally one day you get a role that requires some stuttering and that can be kind of cool too to actually use something that you thought was a handicap and actually use it to enhance an acting role so there you go um Tim to do to Tim
Starting point is 00:37:28 ho ho holland stop it get out of here askot god Yeah, baby, it's me again. I just want to tell you, I'm so sorry about that last message. I don't know what I was thinking. I was just, you know me, you know what I do. You know, I had a very bad day. I'm sitting here drinking soy sauce because I don't have any money to go get vodka.

But TiVo totally changed all that. And yes, other DVRs exist, but they're not as good as TiVo. Because if you have cable, TiVo let you watch your shows wherever you want. With TiVo stream, you can watch them on your iPod all over your house, even transfer your favorite recordings and take them with you on an airplane, waiting in line at the dentist's office, wherever.
