It's the most herpiest time of the year with little red swells and little red bumps and itchy. Wait, what? Hey, everybody, it's Harlem Williams. Welcome to the Harland Highway podcast. Quite a diverse show today. Starting the show off, I go off on a bit of a rant about the state of affairs in the world, the violence and the madness. versus the goodness and the ingenuity of human being.

So it's an interesting kind of back and forth. I was kind of set off by a bunch of stuff I saw on TV, and I just went on a bit of a rant and thought I'd share my thoughts and opinions with you. See what you think. And then it lightens up the second half of the show. Oh, my God, this is amazing. We got a phone call with a Sony executive regarding the hack.

at Sony, and also, believe it or not, Kim Jong-un calls in to tell us his side of the events of the story. So, amazing phone call coming in on the second half of the show. And also some fun Christmas carols from my buddy Toby Huss. I'll tell you more about him as we get going. But let's have some laughs. Let's get some provocative thought going. All here on the Harland Highway. You're listening to Harlan Williams.

Harlan, funny stuff, bro. Funny stuff. Keep it coming. Later. How long have you had this job? Long enough. He's fine as long as he gets his medication. He doesn't get his medications.

He's not fine. You just made a wrong turn. On to the Harland Highway. You're a groovy boy. I'd like to strap you on sometime. The Harland Highway. You're all going to experience intense. Mental, physical, strength.

All right, hold tight on the Harland Highway Show. Don't that be doing. I'll do it. I swear to God. Don't be such a fucking pussy. You're never around here, ain't you? What's your name? You're listening to Harlan Williams. Welcome to the Harlan Highway. Okay, I got to start off with something that just got me going today.

This is real, okay? Just moments ago, I saw on CNN, okay, I saw a story about the guy in, I think it's Nigeria. Don't quote me on that. My mind's a bit blurry. A guy named Boca Moran or something like that. I know I'm off, but the story is what's more important. It's the story about the terrorist militant in Africa who I think just, under a year ago went into a small town and kidnapped like 200 young girls and just disappeared

with them into the bushes, drove into the jungle, into the wilderness, with his pack of insane militants, and these women are still unaccounted for, despite the rhetoric from the government of that country saying, oh, we're close and we're going to find the girls and blah, blah, blah, nothing. And then there was a report today that this guy struck again and went into a town and killed a whole bunch more men and boys and took another, what I heard was like a hundred more women or something. And I'm like, good Lord, what kind of world is this?

And then the very next story, and I hate that. to depress you guys, but this is the reality we live in, and this is why I'm talking about it. The very next story was the story about how the Taliban walked into a children's school in Pakistan and systematically shot it up and suicide bombed the school killing, shooting the life out of like 139 young children. They climbed over the walls of the school Shot the shit out of the kids Killed them And then just to put icing on the cake

Three of these terrorists Decided to blow themselves up wearing like Bomb vests Because you know Killing the children Walking in the room and spraying them with machine guns and rifles Wasn't quite enough Let's let's blow up three people

and see if we can get any residual death happening, and just blood all over the floor. I mean, the poor reporter from CNN was literally stepping around buckets and pools of children's blood. And you can see the guy can barely keep it together. I mean, talk about emotional and powerful and sad. So there's human beings at their worst, and then I had to get away from it,

and I jumped on my computer, and I was on Facebook, and there was a video clip of some people in good old North America and in the civilized world. I saw a video clip of a man who had no arms. He basically had shoulders and a torso. What happened to his arms I didn't catch. Maybe they were blown off in war. Maybe he was born without arms.

And here were some scientists, some people involved in. and technology and medicine who had fitted him with a shoulder harness that had two mechanical arms coming out of him. So they looked proportionate on his body. Anatomically, they looked very proportionate. If this guy had a shirt on, you would just think, oh, there's a guy with shoulders and arms. You wouldn't know that he had no arms.

And somehow they had connected sensors to the nerve endings in his flesh, and I don't know the science of it up into his head. And here was a guy with his brainwaves was manipulating these arms and shoulders and hands, these articulating fingers. He was picking up balls and putting them in baskets. He was following commands. They were telling him to do things,

and the arms and the shoulders were moving. It was a little slow, but it's the beginning of what that technology could be. I don't know if it's called bionics or if that's just a fantasy name from TV, but it's definitely robotics of some kind. And just amazing, mind-blowing to see human ingenuity, to see human genius at work. And I put the two together side by side.

I went, okay, here's people on planet Earth trying to propel the human race forward, trying to do things that matter, try to do things that lead to something positive and create and, you know, propel humanity in a forward direction. And here's a society where they think it's okay to kidnap and rape women and walk into schools and shoot 132 children, innocent children, to death. And I go, how can human beings who generally are the same? How can they be wired so different? And I don't want to go into all the sociological and religious and financial and all the strata that you could go into on a human-like kind of psychological and class level. At the end of the day, I just want to cut.

to the human mind, the human brain, as primitive and as advanced as it can be. Let's take away all the trappings of society and all the political and religious beliefs and views and money and politics and all that stuff. And just have two human beings standing there. A scientist from the Western Hemisphere and a child murderer. from the east. Not that I'm pitting the two countries against each other. I'm just using them as examples.

And you go, how do two human beings end up in such a different place? What is the mindset? What is the world that they live in? And then you can start filling the bucket with all the religious and political and social crap, and you probably get your answer. and so I guess what I'm getting at is at what point do we put an end to these bad people at what point do they turn the corner do they ever turn the corner

at what point does the good side of the world and I'm not saying there's not good people over there when I say good side of the world I mean the population of the world that wants to do good and be productive I'm not saying east versus west, I'm saying people in general. When do all the people that just want to do good things and move forward completely eradicate the scum? How do we recapture some kind of world order

where everyone's working towards the same goals? Where everyone's working towards the betterment of mankind, of the planet, of not just humans, but the environment of everything. Is it really that hard? And I go, what point do you have to put your foot down and actually somehow, like, create a system where you weed these people out and never let them get a foothold, never let them get started?

Is there a way? Is there a preventive antitrust? Is there a pesticide? Is there something that lets us eradicate this primitive mindset that just is so lost and so hell-bent on things that don't matter that don't mean anything? You can kill a bunch of children and make a statement, but 40 years from now, who remembers?

I mean, people probably remember, but it's gone. The statement's gone. But 40 years from now, people can look back and go, that guy with the robotic shoulders and arms, that was the beginning of what helped move the human race to this level, where no one ever had to be limbless or not have an appendage or, who knows? And that science is applicable to moving to other planets, moving into outer space, moving off of gasoline and oil,

like all the things that perpetuate us into the future. Who knows, maybe we're floating, maybe we're flying, maybe we're, you know what I mean? So it's just a broad question, and it's kind of a sad observation that there's a part of this planet filled with human beings that would invest their time in sitting down and planning and orchestrating an attack where they could kidnap and rape hundreds of women, where they could map out the floor plans of a school

so that they knew where to go and what rooms to run into with their machine guns flailing and shoot innocent children who are trying to learn who might have had the answers to some of these questions had they been allowed to live? None of that crap matters in the end. What matters is what moves us forward, what propels us forward. And so it's just dismaying to see this attitude,

to see that people still live in this primitive state, violent, evil state and really are just wasting up time and using up the time of good people who get it, who want to move forward. And you go, wow, where is the bug spray? Where is the thing that, where is the thing where we just go, no, it ain't happening anymore. It stops. You want to be bad, boom, you're gone. You want to plan to destroy people, fly planes into buildings and shoot children, boom, you're gone.

When do we become a world where we root this stuff out and just like demolish it and say we won't put up with it? And make anybody who would think to go down that path, make them realize that there is no path. that the minute you turn that corner, you're removed from society. You're removed from a world that's moving forward and doesn't need your horse shit. Doesn't need your agenda, doesn't need all the stuff that you profess is so important that you have to slaughter children and women and villages. Boy, oh boy, I hope that day comes soon, man. And I'm sorry to talk about this during the holiday, but, you know, this is an emotional reaction

that I just got from seeing this stuff to go from one thing to the other and see that if humans can just focus on things that matter and things that are important for the race, not just, you know, because you could argue, oh, well, it's important to them, that's the religion, and they're fighting for the religion's freedom, and they believe in this, and blah, blah, blah.

But it's not. It's selfish. It's self-indulgent. What they're doing is not servicing humanity. It's servicing their own sect. It's servicing their own agenda, their own vision of the world. Whereas I think we need to embrace as human beings a global vision where everything people do should be pointed at helping and moving forward and advancing us as a civilization.

So I hope that day comes when all this lunacy stops. My heart just breaks for those times. children, if you can see the video footage of just the pools of blood on the floor of a school

for kids. I just wanted to cry. It was like, it was like, what did these kids do? How did these kids become a victim of your stupid agenda? How low have you gotten that you think you will serve your cause by making a statement by wiping out 132 children. Wow. I just, you know, I can't just sit here and go, oh, it's going to change. All I can do is hope. Hope that we go around that corner and it happens soon. And I guess at the bottom of this, I'm saying, if we have to get tough and figure out a way to eradicate this cancer, then

maybe it's time. Maybe it's time to stop being so kind and thinking about the rights of these vile people and worrying about stepping on the humanity. Because at some point I think you've got people that don't know

what humanity is. And I don't know if you can label someone human, who has no humanity, who has no compassion. Sure, they live, they breathe, they eat, they shit. Who cares? It doesn't mean we need them around. Yeah, I said it. We don't need that shit, man.

There's a lot of people in the world, and most people just want to move forward and do good and be productive and have a smile on their face and help their fellow human. And maybe we have to look at the world and its population and go, you know, there's people that just don't serve us here, that don't belong. And I don't know how you do that. That's a complicated thing. But I don't know. Maybe it comes out of them.

Maybe one day they just stop. They have an awakening. They have an epiphany. But I don't think so. That's why I hope maybe there's a way we figure out. And you can't do like an Oswich like, you know, concentration camp thing. But what do you do? How do we do it? I don't know. I don't know. It's such a huge dilemma.

I hope we figure it out. I don't know. I'll leave it hanging right there. Let's get on to something a little more funny and something. Silly, huh? What we've got here is failure to communicate. I think a funny Christmas song would fit in real nice right about now. So let's plug in my buddy Toby Huss has a great Christmas CD out called Snowballs with Rudy Carsoni as the character he plays, very Sinatra-esque.

And he's got, this album's available if you go on, I think iTunes, and YouTube and Amazon, and you can find all these songs on the album, Rudy Carsoni, Snowballs. And let's play one of these fun, fun Christmas carols right now. Hit it, Rudy! Christmas, you're my only mistress. Oh, the other holidays seem so gay. Come on, let's get undressed. Thanksgiving, I didn't mean to make you cry.

What I said, your cranberry was hairy, and your bird was way too dry. July the fourth I dug your independent thing. But it smelled too much like black hats man. That's a stanky bang. Christmas, you're my only mistress. Oh, the other holidays seemed too gay. Come on, let's get undressed.

Halloween, you were a sexy vampire, but I took off that costume and your little goblin put out my fire. Oh, Easter, loving you made me a basket case. We'd get it all like crazy bunnies, but you ended with egg on your face. Christmas, you're my only mistress. Oh, the other holidays seem too gay.

Let's get on dress. My youth tight, baby, you really know how to seduce. Give your man presents galore and let him... Now that your Christmas goose. halal la la shh shh well come on inside

shake the snow off you look cold baby how about a drinking come sit by the fire you're not going to catch what I got you I've been shaving up on here, baby.

Sony is his alter ego, but we had a call come in during the song, Roger, let me know that this is big. This is a bit of a scoop. It sounds like we got someone from the Sony Corporation calling in. So let's take that call. Rod, who is it? Okay, so we got Tom Braithwaite on the line? Yeah.

Okay. He's one of the top CEOs at Sony Pictures. All right, let's put them through. Hello, Mr. Braithwaite. Hey, hello. Yes, sir. You are on the Harlan Highway. Thank you for being here, sir.

Yeah, very good to be here. Thank you, Harlan. So, first of all, I guess I don't know what to say sorry or, I mean. No need for apologies. This is part of running a business, a private enterprise in North America, and, you know, things happen. Things go wrong. There's bad people out there that, you know, want to hurt or take down successful corporations, companies in a prosperous land, such as the United States of America. Yes, sir, yes, sir.

And I think we're all disheartened by what happened. And people, it sounds like a lot of people are blaming. you or dumping on you for canceling the movie, the interview, saying that you caved in to the regime of Kim Jong-ung over in North Korea? It couldn't be farther from the truth, Arland. What happened is we told the movie theaters to go ahead and play the movie on December 25th air of the movie. And, you know, we stood strong. We stood very, very strong on that platform, and what happened is...

Well, what happened is I heard that the movie theaters didn't want to play it. That's exactly right. The movie theaters were worried about violence. They were frightened by the threats that were similar to 9-11 threats. And, you know, it's a very litigious country we live in. And boy, oh, boy, you know, in a way. It's hard to blame them, but it's disappointing. And President Obama actually spoke out and said that Sony pictures made a mistake?

Well, that's unfortunate there, too. I don't think the president was well-informed on the internal workings of the situation. We understand as a point of view, this is a situation that plays into our First Amendment rights of freedom, freedom of speech. freedom of... Yeah, yeah, I know. We get that. And maybe you're right there. Maybe the president, you know,

doesn't know all the inner workings. And speaking of the inner workings of the Sony Corporation, how do you think this security breach happened? How did hackers get inside your... What I'm guessing is a very sophisticated system with probably like Primo security prevention systems, right? Well, you're absolutely right. And we're befuddled where we think there was a very powerful group behind this

with money and backing and intelligence behind them, obviously. And we're very upset about it. And we don't know how it happened because if there's one thing we push at our corporation at the Sony Corporation is, you know, everyone be aware of their computers. Everyone be aware of their passwords. Yeah, passwords is probably key. It sounds like somebody maybe got the password. And we don't know how.

We have a situation where, you know, on any given day, most of us have, you know, five, six, sometimes up to 20 different passwords for different websites. websites, web servers that we're using. And at Sony, we are very meticulous about not letting our employees ever forget their passwords because that is a common thing. And if you forget your password, it can lead to problems. Yeah, I got you. I see what you mean.

Now, how do you, what do you mean when you say you're very cognizant of not letting the employees forget their computer passwords. Well, we don't like it to happen. It's a waste of time. It's a waste of resources. So what we do is, have you ever been in the bathroom at a place of work at an office building? Yeah, of course. I mean, we have that right here in our building.

And let me ask you this, Arland. Is there a sign up in the bathroom that says, please remember to wash your hands before exiting the bathroom? Yes, of course. I mean, that's common. So it's Sony because we don't want people to forget their passwords. What we do is in the bathroom, we have a sign up on the wall that says don't forget your password. And we have the password right there printed out in really big font so everyone can see it. And I'm talking about the men's bathroom and the woman's bathroom.

And we even have some posted up in the hallway. Okay. what do you mean when you say you have the password up in the bathrooms and in the hallway? Well, this is a big corporation, so we all work under one password, okay?

Fun Times 7-8-88- and I'd ask you to keep that between us. You mean that there's one password for everyone in the whole Sony Corporation? That's right. It just simplifies everything. And that comes back to economics.

You know, this is Business School 101. But the more you simplify, the more you cut time, the more profits you're going to make. Fun times it. Hey, hey, hey, I'd ask you not to say it, okay? I'd ask you not. Yeah, but you are. And we also have it, if we have visitors to the lot, we have the security guard. We believe me, we have a check-in gate, okay?

we're not letting anybody through the gate without throwing a driver's license or a birth certificate or a passport and sometimes we've got people that want to get on the Wi-Fi and we don't want some strangers Wi-Fi in here at Sony, okay? So we give them our secret password so that there's no messing around fun times 8888. wait a minute you give out to people

coming in to the Sony lot the password that all the employees have like I said we want to keep everything straight and cut and narrow okay we don't want strange

we don't want strange Wi-Fi signals coming in we want to keep it pure we want to keep it clean yeah but doesn't that mean everybody has your your password I mean are you talking

about contractors coming in, janitors, cleaning staff, visitors, actors, producers. Oh, yeah, just about everyone. We keep it real clean. Fun times 8888. Well, now you just said it again. Well, I can say it because I'm one of the CEOs. Okay, I'm Tom Braithwaite, CEO of Sony Pictures Corporation. and I believe in our company, I believe in the security of our system, and we are just, we are befuddled. I've said that word already. We are befuddled on how this information leaked out,

and the level of sophistication that these hackers must have is beyond, almost beyond comprehension. Well, I think maybe, wow, I think maybe that, hold on, what? 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. You're not going to find it in the news because the police covered everything all up. On August 8th.

This is where the story really starts. Hold on. Excuse me, Mr. Braithwaite. Yeah, I'm still here. We, we, my mic, my, my producer, Roger is waving like a maniac in the booth. Apparently he's got Kim Jong-ung on the line from North Korea. Oh, boy. Would I ever like to hear what this guy has to say?

Okay, so we're going to jump away from you. That's Tom Braithwaite, one of the CEOs of Sony Pictures Corporation. and we're going to put you on hold for a minute, sir. That's fine with me. And we're going to have a talk to Kim Jong-il in North Korea. I'm going to put them through, Roger, right now. Hello, Kim. Hello?

Oh, my God. Is that you from North Korea? Yeah, it didn't mean. What's going on? Well, you called us, Kim. Yeah, I just want to say, you keep it up. I'm going to hack you. What do you mean you're going to hack me?

Oh, I'm going to hack you. you real nice. I got to hack you down like a little pine tree. What, I haven't done anything. You're talking to Sony guy? Yeah, I'm talking to the Sony guy. You just got hacked. Hack number one. Coming through right now.

Why are you doing this to Sonesomey? Oh, they make a movie about Kim Jong-oh, and nobody make a movie about me, make fun of me, okay?

Nobody makes fun of Kim Jong-oh. I'm sorry, how do you pronounce your last name? So it's Kim Jong-uh? No, it's Kim Jong-aw-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Kim-jong-ha-ha-oh. No, you do it right, I hack you a second time. It's Kim Jong-oh. Oh, okay, I'm not even going to try.

Well, I got to say, with your pudgy face... Easy guy, easy, I'm getting ready to hack you again. I'm just saying you got a pudgy face, and with that haircut, you look like a full-grown Asian cabbage patch kid.
