Welcome to the Harland Highway. Come on in and see what's happening. Take. Okay, enough. Hey, everybody, Harlan Williams here. You are on the Harlan Highway. I went deep with my voice to make you think it's a manly, very manly podcast. Actually, it is a little manly. We got a lot of phone calls today that I'm going to play from a bunch of men who showed their sensitive side and left phone calls to, offer condolences on my mother who passed away, and I had played a message from her on an earlier podcast, so we're going to get to your messages, unbelievable, wonderful, kind messages that you pavement pounders left. We're going to get into that. We are also going to talk about minimum wage. Isn't it time that we upped the minimum wage and stopped forcing laborers to work for so little

money. Wait to you hear how much minimum wages and how much you can make in a year if you're on minimum wage. We're also going to talk about a disgusting thing. I saw at an airport where a family was too, too close and started sharing something

that almost made me vomit. We're going to have a news flash and I believe I think I'm in a vomit by saying this cinnamon boy is supposed to drop by the studio today. I feel the heaves coming already, 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 smoke. I'm funny how. I mean funny like I'm a clown.

I amuse you. Like I took the wrong week, quit drink. I make you laugh. I'm here to fucking amuse you. You're riding down the Harland Highway with Harland 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? Like, I picked the wrong week to quit am fit of me. She's got a thoughtful amount of thing to say. Welcome to the Harland Highway. Get the wrong week.

Quit the wrong week. Ew, ooh, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. And I know I sound like a girl right there, because that's how girls say, ooh. Like, guys just go, oh, gross, man. Girls go, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. So I don't know why. I guess I was so disgusted by something I recently saw that it turned me into a girl. Like my, it slapped my gender off my face and I became a woman.

Ew, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Here's what went down, man. And this turned my stomach. This was just wrong on so many levels. It should be, there should be a fine for what I'm. I saw, there should be jail time, there should be maybe public executions, castrations possibly, being drawn and quartered, isn't out of the question, beheaded, perhaps. So here's what I saw.

I saw a family sharing a Starbucks drink the other day. I was at an airport I was at an airport waiting for my flight which is annoying enough and there's people all around and this and that and then here they are

sharing this drink together ah! Yeah, it was one of those those icy like tall grande El Lato Schlotto starbukio drinkios and it was a family and it was an East Indian family.

It doesn't matter what the ethnicity was, but I just noticed it was an East Indian family. And the father probably, you know, late 50s, mid-50s, early 60s. The mother, same thing. They had a kid, a young boy who wasn't that young. He looked like he was about 12 or 13, okay? And they have a tall Starbucks drink and a clear glass. It wasn't one of the paper glasses where you can't see through it. This was one of the tall clear glasses where they put their icy moco chocolate dinkos.

And out of the top, you know, they put that little dome cap on it. There's a big circle in the top. the size of a silver dollar. Like you're going to shove a giant silver dollar-sized straw through the top. There's three straws sticking out, and this family, who's way too close, are all sucking on the Starbucks drink together. Yeah. Gross, man.

That was a guy and a girl together. It was just like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Folks, do the words backwash not ring a bell with you? Do the words SARS and bird flu and hepatitis 9 and who knows what else ring a bell with you? Let alone, I can see maybe the mother and the father doing it. They've been making out for 30 years. They've exchanged saliva when they've been the throes of passion. Okay, fine, share a straw, but you throw your kid in the mix?

What's wrong with this kid? How many of you would want to suck on your parents' drink full of their parental backwash? It was disgusting, man, and I'm standing there just going, and they're all happy. Like, oh, look at the wonderful, everything is shiny and new. Look at the wonderful, the birds and the bees are singing, and we've got it a starbuck. We've got the delicious starbuck. Here, Fringanda and Miga-Glanga, have a drink. Good Lord.

No, no, no. I don't care if you're a black family, a fat white family, a Chinese family, East Indian, African, Eskimo. No. No, no, no. Like, spend the extra four bucks and get your own drinks. Oh, and if you're going to do that, if you're that close of a family where you're all right with ingesting each other. There's enzymes and backwash and little chips of egg salad sandwich and roast beef and whatever else you ate that day.

You know what? Go and rent one of those storage lockers. You know what I mean? You know those orange storage lockers? Rent a storage locker just for that event. I don't care how much it costs $150 a month. I don't care if you only use it for 12 minutes will you drink. Rent it.

Go inside, slam the orange garage door, sit in the dark, and suck away. Oh, isn't this lovely the Starbucks Coca-Mocca? Yes, Father, I love the Starbucks, Coca-Moka, Shikabooka-Loka. Yes, I love it, oh, we're such a happy family from the bar. Oh, God. Just sick. So please don't do that. I don't care if you're...

Maybe if you're Angelina and Brad Pitt and the nine kids, you're all, like, extremely good-looking and somehow nothing you do seems to annoy us or bother us. Okay. But any other family on planet Earth, I don't care if you're a royal family or a tribal family or a nuclear family. No swapping the juices, no sharing the saliva. Get your own damn drink. Oh! Good afternoon.

This is Gail Anderson with a Harland Highway News Update. NASA discovers potato salad on Mars. Yes, Space Agency NASA released in some documents today, some classified space documents that they have in fact discovered potato salad on Mars. It turns out the rover Voyager was going through a space crater and momentarily got snagled up in a mushy, moist, clumpy, structure. It turns out after detailed analysis that this clumpy bumpy structure was a big pile of potato salad. So there you go. Potato salad officially found on Planet Mars. I'm Gail Gordon for the...

What the fuck? I'm Gail Anderson for the Highland Highway News Flash. I'm a little, who is that? I'm a little nervous about these news flashes. I'm not sure that they're really relevant. I mean, potato salad on Mars. Is there someone at the studio door, Roger? Well, I don't see them. Anyways, these news flashes are, I think, a little irrelevant,

I'm trying to do something that has some gravitas and some substance to it. And you let this kid in, this cinnamon boy? Who the hell is this kid? What's wrong with him? Oh, no, he's way worse than a dillweed. Yeah, way better. Thank you. I'm sorry, folks. I apologize. Boy, oh, boy. I sincerely apologize.

Let's move on, Raj. Let's just move the hell on. Wow. Hello? Hello? Hey, Harland. It's John. I wanted to say thank you very much for sharing your clip with your mother, and I'm very sorry to hear that she has passed away. It made me shed a few tears, because I thought about my own mother and her mother who passed her away recently, and I just can't imagine the emptiness that you talk about. But one day, like everyone else, I will find out. But thank you so much for sharing, and have a good one.

Wow. What a wonderful voicemail I got from John. You know, a lot of you, a lot of you guys, you know, I shared the passing of my mother. I didn't want to dwell on it too long. I just, you know, I just wanted to kind of play a little message that she left to kind of maybe touch and inspire people. And it sounds like a lot of you were quite moved and, you know, enjoyed kind of hearing that kind of final moment with my mother. It was very intimate and very private, but I just felt like my mother was a strong, powerful woman.

And, you know, I thought she might have something to say to people. Whether it resonated or not, I don't know. But it sounds like a lot of you enjoyed it. And so I want to say, first and foremost, thank you so much for your emails and your calls with the condolences and all your wonderful thoughts and kind, caring words. And I got a lot of voice messages at the Harland hotline with wonderful, wonderful messages from you guys, all the pavement pounders. And so there was quite a few, and it used up a lot of the show to play them all.

And I don't want to kind of bring the show down, but I do want to acknowledge my thanks and share with everyone the kind of how hearing from my mother made people feel and how people. and how people were able to express their condolences and whatnot. So I'm going to do a bit of an edited mishmash with excerpts of some of the many, many phone calls that came in and just kind of shorten everything down a bit. But at the end of the day, guys and girls, thank you so very much for your very, very kind, thoughtful, caring, and loving words and expressions. I truly appreciate it. So let's have a listen and then we'll get right back to the funny.

Oh, and I just started listening to the podcast today. I guess it was on yours from yesterday, but sorry to hear about your mom. You can go on, says, buddy. Hey, Harlan, what's up? It's Mark from up here in Ottawa, Canada. And I just listened to you the episode where you played the message that,

your mom recorded in the hospital with you. And I just wanted to say, as awesome as it is, that you're hilarious and that you're a really funny guy and that you can be silly and pretty much right off the wall all the time. I think I speak for a lot of listeners when I say that stuff like that is really appreciated because it just goes to show that there's two sides to every life. everybody who likes to tell a joke also you know as people they love and they care about and I think just listening to that conversation

hearing how much you guys are laughing together you know even in one of the worst times that you possibly could be spending together I think it's just great that you're able to make something positive out of that and we got to hear some of your mom's jazz singing at some point in time too You got to get that on the show. Hey, Harlan.

It's Gabriel Dagle in Long Beach. I just got done listening to the podcast where you, unfortunately, gave us the news that your mother had just passed away. My condolences to you and your family. She obviously had to be a pretty incredible woman to have such a brilliant son like yourself. and her message was just so touching and so so truthful it's so real you know and I feel for you boy I just hope that whatever it is that you find solace and that you're just absolutely filled with it in this difficult time and know that a lot of us are with you you bring us you bring us so much joy, Harlan.

You're an incredible human being. Obviously, your mother was as well. And hopefully she's in a better place. Hey, Harlan. This is Preston from Atlanta. I found your podcast this year, and I've been thoroughly enjoying it. But the reason I called today is I just listened to the conversation between you and your mother in the hospital.

Harland. Have fun. Don't throw your back out. You don't have to apologize for a single thing about that. It is so rare to witness just a moment of actual emotional realness in people, and I'm proud of you from leaving your reaction to the conversation in the podcast. That's just weird. It's hard to get through the big fake shields everyone puts up around them, me as myself

included, emotionally, and it moves me. Thank you for playing that segment with your mom. I can see where the Williams family spirit is, and you help people every day. with your comedy so you are just like your mom and I also could not stop laughing when she made that jazz singer joke so I met your mom for all the

two minutes that you played on the recording and I already liked her anyway I feel it for you Harlan and keep on keeping on Harlan Hey man mine name's Sam but I'm calling because of this latest podcast where you had that message

from your mom and I gotta tell you man I lost my dad a couple months ago, or I'm sorry, it was a couple years ago, but it was weird. When your mom, when you had your mom sign off and have her tell everybody goodbye, there's something about that that struck such a chord with me that I kind of, I was at work, and I started crying. It was crazy. Just because when she said goodbye, like she was really saying goodbye.

and that was kind of just made me think about my own situation but yeah I never met you you've never met me I only know what I've seen and heard from you but I'll tell you what man just losing a parent isn't easy so I got a big verbal hug for you dude I'm sorry but you sound like you're doing all right

but hang in there dude I'll see you Hi Holland is your buddy Levi from Denver I really just wanted to call and tell you I'm sorry to hear about your mom passing away. And my father passed away in 1999, and I know how hard it can be to lose a parent. And your mom seemed really sweet with the recording you had done of her.

And I'm really sorry, man. I really hope things are okay for you and keep your head up, man. and you'll get through it in time. But anyways, I really just want to call and tell you that. I hope everything's well with you. I love you, buddy. You'll later.

Hey, Harlan. This is Brian, and I just wanted to extend my condolences to you on the loss. And I lost my mom seven years ago. And I remember calling to her final days and told her that I could not imagine her not being here. It's a fact of life. After she was gone, I realized that she had tried to prepare me for my whole life. And whether she did or did not, it doesn't matter.

In fact, it's she tried. And it's, to me, it was like being kind of being kicked out of the mist and felt very alone. the world without her, without knowing she was there. But I kind of looked around like a young bird kicked out of a nest and realized what she'd want me to do is very touching hearing your conversation with him. Take care of me. Wow.

So there you go. Just a small sample of the wonderful thoughtful-caring words. from some of the pavement pounders, the listeners. And, yeah, I can't tell you how much you sharing those thoughts with me means. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, everybody, everybody. And, you know, the interesting thing that came out of that is, you know, it wasn't only about, you know, dealing with my mother's passing, but I got the sense from listening to a lot of these calls

that it kind of brought stuff up for other people and, you know, people that were close in their lives that had passed or it made them think about the possibility of their parents passing. And if nothing else, maybe this was just a nice reminder to all of us that, you know, we're all kind of in the same boat, we all come from the same place, and we're all here for just a minute, just a beat. And when it's gone, it's gone.

It's final. So I don't know if you're fighting with your parents or you've always had something about them you hate or you don't talk to them or maybe there's some bitterness. I don't know. Maybe this kind of popped up as an opportunity for you to reach out and maybe smooth the waters or even if things are great with your parents. Hey, you just never know. So maybe pop them a phone call and say, I love you, Mom and Dad. so anyways uh great heartfelt stuff thank you once again and uh the final note i'll make about it is uh my mother mentioned in that recording that she was a jazz singer um i got to set the record straight

my mom was a she liked to sing jazz let's put it that one my mom was like i said my mom was a giving person she she loved to reach out to people and she used to go around to old folks homes this is for real, gang. My mom used to roll around in her car and go to old folks home with a little, she had a little amplifier and a chord and a microphone.

And my mom would go to old folks' homes and pull this stuff out and plug it in and sing. Sing like old jazz songs and stuff like that. And sometimes at Christmas or on holidays, she'd pull out the thing and start singing. So I don't know that she would,

was officially a jazz singer, but maybe in her head a little bit. So that's kind of why I gave her a bit of a hard time when she added that to her list of accomplishments in life. But people liked her singing. She was good, and I love it that she got out there and did it for the folks. So that's all I want to, I don't want to dwell on this anymore. It's done. And again, thanks for your sharing and caring.

All right, let's play a commercial, Raj, and let's move on, man. Good afternoon. I'm Gail Anderson, and this is the Harland Highway News Update. Newsflash, vaginal warts are caused by exercise bicycles. Yes, and a study released by the Center for Disease and Mucous Controls, They've announced that vaginal warts are caused by stationary bicycles and gyms and athletic-related facilities. It turns out that people who ride a stationary bike for more than 45 minutes at a sitting are prone to get disgusting vaginal warts even if they have a penis.

So be warned, do not exercise on a stationary bike. for more than 45 minutes. That's your newsflash. I'm Gil Anderson for the Highland Highway News. I thought we were going to a commercial. Well, I don't know. I thought we were going for a commercial. Why are we doing these stupid news flashes?

Well, I just, I don't think it's news. Okay, you're giving me that look through the glass, Roger. So vaginal warts are caused by riding bicycles, exercise bikes. Great. Well, I'm glad we interrupted the podcast for that. Can we just move on? Thank you. God, let's talk about some real news here.

I keep hearing about this minimum wage thing. I'm sure you guys have heard or read about this in the media. You know, there's this war going on where the, you know, fast food workers and stuff are marching around in the streets and various cities, demanding more money. Imagine demanding that minimum wage gets raised up from like seven bucks an hour to like 15 bucks an hour. And all these, a lot of politicians and different groups in society are saying, oh, we can't do it. It'll knock the whole economy out of whack, and it'll cause a huge imbalance, and businesses will have to close, and that means there'll be far less jobs and blah, blah, and I'm like, I don't know.

It sounds like a bunch of BS to me. You know, it sounds like at some point everything in life, everything in society has to take a shift. things have to move the ball the needle has to move uh okay and uh and for for people to be working for seven dollars and 25 cents an hour and doing 40 40 hour weeks do you want to guess how much that translates to in about a year okay someone's doing uh 725 an hour and if they're doing a 40 hour work week You know what that comes out to, gang? Fifteen grand. Fifteen grand a year.

I mean, who can even... Who can live on 15 grand a year? You could. I mean, you could, you could, you could, you could, you could. But which one of you listening, right now, I'm pointing to you with my finger, even though you can't see it? could you live on 15 grand a year?

And if you could, would you want to? 7.25 an hour? And you know what? If they just make it a law, okay? That you know what? Everything is now 15.50 an hour for these poor people so that they can actually enjoy life and buy things in life and pay their rent and pay their bills.

I say you just crank it up, and the businesses that survive it, survive it, and the ones that don't, don't. And that may be too bad, but I feel like it's a bunch of malarkey. Are you telling me McDonald's and Burger King and Wendy's and all these corporations that spend billions of dollars on retarded commercials, and billboards and giveaways and events and pays their CEOs 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 million dollars a year.

These fast food giants who make money hand over fists, if they crank their wage up to $15 an hour, they're going to close. Sure, Maybe the average CEO, maybe the profits won't be so big. Maybe McDonald's doesn't clear $34 billion a year, but maybe they clear $28 billion a year.

Isn't a billion a billion? I mean, God, man. Everyone deserves work. Everyone should be given the chance to go out from work. everyone deserves dignity. Everyone deserves to be rewarded for their work. But can you imagine the morale you have knowing you work for 7.25 an hour at a job where you may like it or it may be miserable, but you're making the effort.

And your reward is 725 an hour, 15 grand a year before taxes? Take away the taxes and what do you really got? grand a year? I mean, good Lord, man. And don't tell me they can't make things happen. Remember when the government said, you know what? No more smoking in restaurants. No more smoking in movie theaters. No more smoking inside buildings. Done. It stopped. Everyone adjusted. They moved the needle. Right? Guess what? Everyone has to wear seatbelts now. That's the new law. You have to wear seatbelts. Everyone puts on their seatbelt. They move the needle.

Okay? Everyone adjust. Society adjusts. And at the end of the day, society is people. And society works because people work. And society works because we have an economy. And the people within the economy use the money to live. and in turn generate more commerce by spending the money they make.

But it just isn't really fair that there's all these politicians and people jumping up and down saying, no, no, we can't give out more money. That will collapse the system. But yet isn't it interesting the people making the decisions about how much people should get are way beyond the minimum wage? are way beyond working in a lowly job doesn't make them better. They're still people.

If you ask the politicians that say, oh, we can't raise the minimum wage, and we turn around and said, well, listen, you're a public servant. I don't see why you're not making minimum wage senator. Could you imagine his face drop when suddenly he's got to move out of his home in the Hamptons and move into the projects with his three children and his wife?

The system's going to collapse if we raise. This is America, man. The richest country on the planet. And people are walking around doing 40-hour work weeks in single-digit, $7? You're not even making double-digiting. You're not even making $10? $11? I mean, good Lord.

Just do it. Let everything kind of go up in arms. The economy will whiffle and ripple and ripple and kind of bounce up and down for a little bit, and then it'll all settle. And even those industries and those corporations and those companies that you thought were just going to collapse and disappear, I bet you they adjust. I bet you they find ways to adjust. and if some people have to let me let go to trim costs, well, guess what? They'll come up somewhere else.

They'll find a job somewhere else. And when they do find a job somewhere else, guess what, they're going to get $15 an hour. So maybe the best thing that ever happened for them was they were let go. It's not like people get let go and they just turn into dust and they expire. Oh, my God, Jim was fired.

What's it? Oh, he just blew up. God. No, we move on. Everybody adjusts. And if it's the law that when you walk in and get a job right out of the gate, whether you're a waiter or a guy at McDonald's or a checkout guy, you know you're starting at $15 an hour. That's good. I think that's good for people. Why don't we put people ahead of commerce? Okay? Commerce is just money and invisible numbers and paper and coins. How about letting people have what they need to put in their hand and in their pocket and their bank account to live a normal life and have a shot at not groveling and suffering?

And it's nothing against the capitalist system. Let's keep that, you know, that has nothing to do with it. If you make minimum wage one year and five years later, you invent. rented a flying teacup and you make 20 million good for you but while you're at the level of making minimum wage make it bearable make it fair fair big corporations spread it around quit making up all these stories that everything's going to fall to pieces if we raise the minimum wage what a blow to hogwash there i said it got it got it out did i mention i do this podcast for absolutely nothing

why why am i not getting fifteen dollars an hour to do this podcast roger this is an outrage actually i like doing it for nothing it's it's this is just me this is just me throwing it in the breeze and it's it's good but if you're really out there working you deserve to be uh treated with some dignity and respect. So there you go. And I hope it all changes, and I hope it changes soon, so that everyone can have money in their pocket and live well. And look at this. We've gone over time. I've been ranting so long. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry, everybody. But interesting topic. Let me know what you think. You can leave me voicemails about

anything you want, whether it's a minimum wage, your mom, your dad, your vaginal wards, whatever. whatever you want. Cinnamon boy. You got a sin it to win it. Oh, God. So there you go. Call me 3-2-3-739-433-30. That's 3-2-3-739-433.

Also, check out the Harlowyms.com store when you're at my website. Buy yourself some fun merchandise. And tell your friends, tell your friends to get on the Harland Highway. Also, while you're there, subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can see my latest wacky videos. Hopefully put a smile on your face. And check out ATC.com, all things,comity. That's a podcast network where you can find my podcast, along with many others.

And there you go. So that's it. We are out of time, and we will see you next time, right here on the Harlan Highway. And until then, chicken chowmaine, baby. You got to sin it to win it. Shut up. Get out of here.
