Uh, hey man, uh, like really glad you're here, man, on the, uh, Harlem Highway. Um, you know, really, uh, fucking cool. All right. No, we're not talking like that the whole show. This is Harlem Williams. You are on the Harlan Highway. Yeah, that's what I just said, man. Get out of here. This is my show, not yours. I'm yours, man. Uh, what a show we have today, gang. Uh, I'm going to be reminiscing about my, uh, my road trip across, uh, you know, France and Italy. I'm going to talk about the impact of the French church had on me. It was pretty profound, I think. I'll talk about that later on.

We're going to talk about the best way to die. What is the best way in the world to die? For a human being to die, I think I've discovered it. It's a little weird, but I think you'll all want to do it. Unfortunately, Camp Fire Timmy's coming in because it's summertime, and his father, the boss, Mr. Featherstone said he's got to come down and sing some campfire songs. I never like that. Makes me sick to my stomach, and he's a little creep.

So hopefully he doesn't show up. And then we have the Harland Highway Question of the Day. Wait to you hear this one. You'll know what it is. But for now, this is the Harland Highway. You just made a wrong turn onto the Harland Highway. I am out here for you. You don't know what it's like to be me out here for you.

It's like I picked the wrong week for quit smoking. I'm funny how. I mean funny like I'm a clown. I amuse you. Like I took the wrong week. I quit drink. I make you laugh. I'm here to fucking amuse you.

You're riding down the Harland Highway with Harlan Williams. I'd buy that for a dollar. What was it we had for dinner tonight? Well, we had a choice, steak, fish. Yes, yes, I remember. I had lasagna. What do you mean funny? Funny how?

How am I funny? It's like I picked the wrong week to quit in front of me. She's got a thought for Samantha thing to say. Welcome to the Harland Highway. I picked the wrong week. Quit shit and blue. Yeah, you did. Yeah, you did.

You know, I got in a conversation with someone the other day about, we're talking about death and dying. And this friend of mine said, well, you know, the best way to die is, It's called the million dollar death. And I go, oh, what's that? And I go, well, you just go in your sleep. It's called the millionaire's death. You just fall asleep and you're dead. You never wake up.

And I was just about to say, yeah, you're right. And I went, no, wait a minute. Wait a minute. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not the best way to die. I want to die. I basically said I want to die like a necropheliac death. And let me explain.

I want to die right after I have the biggest O, you know what an O is, right? The orgasm. After I've had the most amazing biggest O, I want to die. In fact, I want it to be to the point that the woman that I'm with, and this is where the necrophilia part comes in, doesn't even know I'm dead for the first, like, minute or so. like I have my moment I'm like

and then I die right there just after that amazing feeling and she just thinks it's me like having a climax and she's still going I'm not there yet I'm not there yet Harland Harland did you fall asleep you son of a bitch

then she slaps me You have a lot of nerve Harland Oh my God Oh my God And I know this is going to sound awful But how do I put I'm still in her

And I've passed I died a minute and a half ago She was she's still going I had my moment I died I've got a huge grin on my face The best way to die in the world And for about a minute

A minute and a half She was doing it with a dead guy Necrophiliac Creep What a car creep you are. Hello, I'm dead. You can stop now.

But how do you know when you're in the throws of passion, right? So I'm laying on my back. She's riding like a pony at the merry-go-round. Boom. I have my big moment. I pass away.

She thinks I've just, you know, had the best orgasm other. She's still trying to get to hers. She finally has it. she collapses on me I'm still inside of her and as she's laying on my chest she notices

I have no heartbeat my eyes are staring up at the ceiling with a glazed over look it's horrible it's horrible for the person who's with you okay it's a selfish way to die it's a very selfish way to die

but it's great for you. And the same with the women, man. You know, the ladies can be laying on their back. The guy's just giving it to her. She has her big oh. Dies. The guy's so into what he's doing, he doesn't realize she's died. He's still gone.

Minute, two minutes later. Cindy? Cindy, how was that for you? That was pretty good, right? See, oh my God, Cindy! Hello, 911? Yes, I'd like to report something horrible. What, let me guess.

You were, uh, you were, uh, you've got a dead person? No, I was having sex with a dead person. Oh my God, we'll be right over. So, yeah, nobody wants to be a necrophiliac, but if that's the way to go, is there any better way to die? Oh. Die in your sleep's just. just whatever, it's, it's anti-climactic, it's boring.

You know, what's the difference between dying in your sleep and sleeping? It's like when you sleep, you're just, everything shuts off, right? So if you die in your sleep, it's just like you're having the best sleep ever. You just, you just slept, it's a really long-ass, wonderful sleep. You're not going to be tired when you wake up, never. So that's just like, whatever. But dying right after a giant orgasm? Come on, man.

Anyone are you listening? I challenge you to argue that. Come on, man. That's the way to go. And if the other person's still having at it, once you've deceased, you know, that's on them. That's the burden they have to carry around the rest of their lives.

So there you go. I mean, I don't want you to die, but when you do, my friends, that's the way you got to go. Now, to be certain that I have this straight, I'll re-recapitulate. Wait a minute. Who? Who's here? No, no, no, I don't want that kid here. No, I don't care if it is summertime. Now, I do not want Timmy the Campfire kid in here.

Roger, I don't care if he's our boss's son, okay? I don't care if he's Mr. Featherstone's son. I'm doing a professional podcast here. I don't have time for an eight-year-old kid to come in here and sing campfire songs just because he likes to do it in the summer and his father owns my podcast. No, don't let him in. Don't let him in. Oh, God.

Okay, first of all, Roger, can we never have Timmy back? That's not a question. That's an order. My blood pressure is going through the roof with that moron. Anyways, putting it behind me, the Harland Highway Question of the Day. Here we go. Why is it that when you click on to a YouTube video or some of these internet ad videos the internet ads come up okay

and it's a commercial for you know Geico insurance or Alka Salser Plus or a trip to a hotel something annoying something you don't want to see when you click around on the internet and then it starts to play

and it says you can skip this ad in five seconds and I always do. I mean, I'm like, thank you. Like, why do they give us that option? Why do they, are you, are you kidding me? Excuse me, would you like to watch a commercial or not watch a commercial? What would you like to do? How many people go, oh, I'd love to watch a commercial? Can I watch something totally annoying and totally unrelated? I was about to watch a nature video about lions eating a zebra, but if I could just sit through a progressive car insurance commercial for a

minute and a half of my life before I get to Africa, oh, I would be forever in your debt, please. So I always click, skip. And what's ridiculous is with only seeing five seconds, you're not even sure what it is. So if I'm an ad agency, I'm going to, like, put my logo or get my mask. message out right at the beginning like yes this is wonder brand and before you click on yes this is geico insurance before you click on this is pepsi cola before you click on the skip button got gone you know what i mean the first words out of my mouth would be my product hey everybody who wants to have better sex no yes yes the answer is yes you always want to have

This is a true story. It happened right here in my town. One night, 17 kids woke up, got out of bed, walked into the dark, and they never came back.

I'm the director of Barbarian. A lot of people die in a lot of weird ways. We're not going to find it in the news because the police covered everything all up. On August days. This is where the story really starts. Weapons. But it just seems like such a waste of time, and I wonder why do ad agencies give us the option?

It's kind of a dumb idea, really, because they know they have us trapped. And the whole commercial is, what, like 30 seconds long, maybe 15 seconds long, so I figure, if you're going to watch the first five, if you were forced to watch the next 10 seconds or 20 seconds, the odds of you clicking away are probably pretty low. And I don't know why I'm saying this,

why I'm helping the advertisers with this. But essentially you've got us held up for hostage, and, you know, we kind of got to watch the stupid things if we want to get to our videos. So my big Harlan Highway question of the day is, Why do they have it even? You can skip this video. And how many of you do skip it?

I'm willing to bet 100% of you listening because I have a very intelligent audience. Clicks the skip it button. And if you don't, I don't know if I want to hear from you, but maybe you better call at 323739, 43330, and tell me why you're an idiot, why you're watching commercials. Or maybe you're a commercial freak

And that's the only reason you do tune in And you shut the video off when the video starts Hell, I don't want to watch no video, man I just, that commercial, look how well that's produced The lighting and the acting and the locations And the wardrobe and the makeup Oh my God What a commercial

I can't watch a grainy, scratchy, old homemade YouTube video After watching this high end wonderfully produced commercial about aspirin. So I don't know. There it is, folks. Quisitive minds need to know the Harland Highway question of the day. The Harland Highway Question of the Day. All right, so I want to tell you a little more about my road trip that I took to Europe,

which was a ton of fun. As I told you, I landed in Paris. I got a crazy rental car. it had a GPS device in it and when I pulled out of the garage in Paris the GPS device was in French and my French is a little rusty I know a little bit of French but I could not catch the GPS

and Paris is a big, busy, crazy city with lots of roads and here I am driving around in Paris trying to get out of Paris so I can start trekking across the countryside to get to the coast. And I got a GPS talking to me in French. So then I went into my phone and I had the Google Maps and that came up. And that was all kind of Frenched out and weird and Europeanized. That's even a word.

And unfortunately, I had downloaded an app that... That an app that's from... I think Tom Tom, Tom, the original, like, GPS guys. And it was a European app because of me like 80 bucks. And so I downloaded that. So here I am trying to get out of Paris in a rental car that I think I told you a few podcasts ago. When you stop, it shuts off, which I did not know. So I'm stopping in the middle of Parisian traffic.

The car keeps stopping. I'm like, what the hell? I'm panicking. I'm listening to the French GPS. I love that I observe, I'm like, And I'm like, Oh, Charles, Nelson, Ra, oh, oh, oh. So then I got the Google one going,

and then I got the TomTom one. I got three GPSes going. Hoo! I somehow miraculously make it out of Paris. There's a nail biter the whole way. And suddenly now I'm on the highways, and I'm crazy. cruising across the countryside, okay?

And I'm cruising across the countryside towards the coast, and I'm on the highway, and then they have these, like most highways, they have the gas stations along the way. And I'm looking at the little indicator on my dashboard, and there's the little picture of the gas pump. And then underneath it says diesel. And I'm like, wait, what, what? I've never dealt with diesel before. So now I pull into the gas station, and for some reason they have the gas tanks on the other side of the car.

Where we come from, they're on the driver's side. Over there, they're on the passenger side. Don't know why. Just more ways to abuse us foreigners. And I get at the gas pumps, and I can't read, you know, it says diesel and all this stuff. And I'm like, oh, no, what? I mean, it doesn't say diesel. It's all these French words.

So I go into the shop, and I go, excuse me, mademoiselle, can you assist? Where do the diesel gasoline for the automobile? And I'm speaking broken French, I know it. But she gets the gist. She goes, oh, the diesel, the black one. I'm like, the black one. She's like, we, we did the black, the black one. And then I realized she was talking about the nozzles, the handles on the gas pump were all color-coded.

And I go, oh, black and noir, noir is black is black and French. She's like, we, noir, diesel. And I go, okay, merci beaucoup, madame. And I walk out, and I figured out that little mystery. And so I'm booging along, going through the countryside of France. it's just beautiful farm country and old buildings with tile roofs and oh it's just so nice and uh and and there's something about the trees there like in north america we've got you'd see a field you know a pasture and it's usually like like big round trees like big roundish

trees or pine trees or something but in france for whatever reason the trees always seem to be off in the distance, and they're these real tall, leafy ones. They're like really tall and thin and kind of always in a row side by side. And if you can just picture them off in the field, they give the French countryside a really unique look. It's funny how much the trees distinguish the landscape, but it's a look you don't see anywhere else that I've been, and there's such a charm to it and such a French,

French thing about it. It just, it almost reminded me like I was looking at a painting. You know, I have these green rolling fields and fields full of, you know, brown wheat and and then these tall trees all in a line in the distance, you know, just beautiful. And then one of the things I noticed when I'm driving through the towns, you know, I kept kind of passing through all these small towns, farming towns, field towns, hill towns, mountain towns and it quickly became obvious to me that in the center of all these little towns which by the way looked very charming you know they're their old stone buildings and just you know

really really old european flare okay and what what struck me and amazed me and got me thinking was in the middle of each of these little towns was a church there was always a church with a really high steeple with a cross on it or a bell, but it was always the highest building in the little town and it always stood out and architecturally it was always very beautiful and really well done and somehow it always seemed to be in the perfect place and it was always the middle of town, the focal point of the town. And as I drove along, I started to really get my head around the concept of a church in a town. And I started to, and I started to, and I started to, and I started to started to think about the feeling it was giving me.

And I started to realize that these little towns were making me feel very welcome and started to make me feel like, wow, I'd like to live in that little town. What a tight little, nice, friendly-looking community. And it wasn't just the quaintness of the little town, but somehow the church seemed to polarize everything. The church seemed to bring it all together. The church was the nucleus of these small little towns. and there was one after another.

There'd be some nestled in the hills and some would be out on the flatness of the fields. And just the way these churches were put together, the stonework, the masonry, and the way they towered over the rest of the town. And I started to realize these were really, real symbolic. And it made me start to think that they must have built these churches by design to kind of remind everyone in the community

about church and God and loving thy neighbor and just looking at these towns it made me get that feeling. It made me want to live there. I was like, God, you know, I want to live in a town where you can't go anywhere without seeing the church and the church reminds us that, you know, we're God's children and we're God's people

and we should all be good to each other and all be kind to each other. And even though I'm not an organized religion guy, these are thoughts that I was having. And even though I'm not in particular fond of that kind of, you know, hurting mentality, I got to tell you, there was something about the churches that really got to me. And it made me start to think that, you know, the fact that they were sticking up over the rest of the town. and I realized maybe these churches were the spiritual center of the community. And I realized whether you're religious or not,

the fact that they were kind of overbearing and there, you couldn't avoid that sense of spirituality, and you couldn't avoid seeing these churches, these symbols of faith and God, if you will. And it made me start to think that, you know, I don't know because I don't live in those communities, but I thought, man, I bet they're really tight and everyone's friendly and, you know, there's a real community there. And a sense of that came over me, a sense of warmth and a sense of wanting to reach out and say hi to my neighbor and can I help you with those groceries. and I started to realize that maybe that's something that we don't really have anymore.

We live in a world where most people are turning their backs on churches. People don't trust churches. A lot of people don't trust religion or want religion anymore. And that's okay. I'm not saying it's a bad thing or a good thing. Everyone has to make their own decision. But I've got to tell you where I live in a world where the biggest symbols that I see in my community are corporate symbols that the golden arches and burger king and uh you know the the the

the mall and uh you know um exon mobile and shell and bp and you know all these all these signs distracting us these bright signs and they're towering up in the air higher than anything and when you think of it churches in big cities at least in los angeles they're kind of buried They're kind of buried amongst all the clutter And nothing sticks up high in the air You don't pay any attention to a church here And in a lot of other cities I've been to You don't really have that

And it made me sad a little to think Like even if you take away the religious component I think humans in general Do have a spirit They have a spiritualness Maybe you have a faith in themselves or in their lives. And maybe what these churches in these small French towns represented to me was the spirituality that kind of was represented.

And I felt like maybe because that symbol of the church is there that maybe the people in the towns are more spiritual. And I concluded that it was a very important piece of architecture a important symbolism within this town, even though I didn't live there. Maybe it's a bunch of deviants and who knows if there's a pervert priest or whatever, but just looking at it from the outside, it made me feel good and it made me feel a little sad that even if you don't believe in religion, churches are supposed to represent symbols of goodness and purity and love and holiness and.

and brotherhood, and, you know, the church was supposed to house all the good things, the positive things in humans. And unfortunately, even the church got corrupted along the way in many ways, with power and politics and sex and money and just the horrible things that the church is supposedly against. But taking out the modern day aspects of where religion has gone off the rails over the years, It was just the notion of this nucleus, this center of the town, a symbol of spirituality rising up from among all the homes and the businesses and the other buildings. And it really did give me a feeling of warmth, and I thought,

what a shame that people today, people listening, people going to work, can't somehow tap into spirituality on their world. way to work or in their daily routine. And many of you probably do or you might, but I think a lot of people, it's kind of gone by the wayside. People don't think about spirituality. And it doesn't necessarily even have to be religious. It could be just the spirit you feel in the world from the ocean, from the air, from the clouds. It could be that kind of spirituality. But I think the church being so prominent in the mix just reminded one of the spirit world, of the of the soul, of the spirit, the human spirit.

And nowadays, I think in big cities in modern society, that all get so muddied and cluttered by all the corporate logos and signs and flashing neon and the distractions in our lives. So it was very, very interesting. It was nice to see. It was refreshing. And it made me think of my own spirituality. And let me get in touch with it and tap into it.

And my spirituality tends to come more from the world of nature. But what I'm saying to wrap this up is the churches kind of just reminded me in general of the spirit, of the human spirit. And I think it would be a good investment in communities, in society, to somehow find something that does that for people. And the religious aspect is too much. maybe we create something like even something like a spirit tower or something new that we haven't seen like just a tower that's non-denominational just it's a constructed a certain way and maybe has certain symbols on it

that aren't religious symbols but it's basically just a piece of architecture that stands high above the buildings and the malls and it's to remind people of their own spirit and to tap into their spirit, and then it's healthy to remember and in essence communicate with your spirit, even if it's mentally or metaphysically or however you connect with yourself

or let your spirit connect through you to the rest of the world. And so I appreciated seeing these churches dotting these towns because it certainly gave me that feeling that they were important something and it was it was quite illuminating and exciting to see it and feel it and that's something I didn't expect to come over me just driving through the countryside in in France but you see you can drive through the countryside in the United States and you don't see churches in all the little towns and the farm community they may be there but they don't tower over the town

so there you go just some interesting insight and some reflections and feelings, uh, from my, part of my road trip, um, through Europe. And I'm going to tell you some more stories about my road trip as we keep going down the road here on the Harland Highway. But for now, we've come to a red light.
