Harlow Williams, Harland Highway. Welcome to the show, Flirtle Durgens and Blenargle Flaggans. Just a treat to have you along for the ride down the highway today. We are going to be doing some fun stuff. We're going to be talking a little bit about the president's state of the union address that he did recently talk about the tone of the country of the world Are these state of the union addresses
Starting point is 00:00:40 becoming a little outdated and old-fashioned Do they need to deal more with reality than deal with the old kind of old-school notion of the American apple pie world? I don't know. We're going to discuss. Also, it looks like I got a programming note. We're actually going to be doing some American Idol casting sessions today.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Some singers are coming in, and I have to judge if they're going through to the next round or going to Hollywood or whatever. I don't know why I have to do this. It comes from upstairs. So we got that. We're also going to be talking about when you don't eat, how does it affect your day?
Starting point is 00:01:21 How does it affect your life when you don't eat? I hope you eat this podcast because it's going to be delicious. This is the Harlan Highway. You're listening to Harlan Williams. Harlan, funny stuff, bro. Funny stuff. Keep it coming. Later.
Starting point is 00:01:37 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. Boy, I'd like to strap you on sometime.

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.
Starting point is 00:02:19 We're rotten luck. Welcome to the Harland Highway. Heyo! Welcome to the Harland Highway, everybody. Good to have you on board. And I was going to start with talking about the President's State of the Union speech, but I've been informed by Roger, my producer, slipped me a text here that says we are switching gears, which I'm nervous about. Apparently, they want to. to do some American Idol auditions here today, live in the studio. I was not informed about this.
Starting point is 00:03:02 I am not really supportive of this. This is not my show. That's not what I do here. But that being said, I, you know, I have to go along with the programming here. And it's a bit confusing. It's a bit out of sorts. But, ladies and gentlemen, it comes from upstairs. They want us to do some American Idol auditions today.
Starting point is 00:03:32 So hopefully we can get through them quickly. We'll play them. We'll talk to the contestants. We'll hear a few people sing, and then we'll move through it and get back to more important things. Like the president's state of the union address, which I have some thought. about that I want to share.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Roger is the first contestant here, even? He is? Who is it? What are you talking about, a koala? Are you telling him, see, here we go, here we go. Are you telling me, and now he's holding it up. Roger's holding up a koala bear, and it is cute. I got to admit, that thing's adorable.
Starting point is 00:04:21 That thing is going to sing? Oh, this is ripe. This is real ripe. Oh, my God. All right, bring them in. Bring them through. Bring them around. Set them up.
Starting point is 00:04:36 I see we have a little microphone set up here on the floor. Oh, my God. Roger's bringing them around. Yes, put them over there up near the wall there, Roger. what are we doing about music you're going to hit the me okay roger's going to control the music from the booth and we got a koala here good lord okay so what what mr car i don't even know what what am i doing talking to a koala mr koala is that what i call you what oh my god

Starting point is 00:09:23 You ain't no singer, okay? You ain't no Frank Sinatra Go back to Australia Eat some leaves Piss in the woods Whatever it is you do You weren't meant to sing Is it, are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:09:39 We're doing American Idol And you guys send in a koala Get real for God's sakes. Wow. No, no. Go to a commercial right now. Go to a commercial right now.
Starting point is 00:10:10 I want them out. Out. Go to a commercial. I want them gone when we come. back commercial fresh is a walk through the woods on an early spring morning fresh is a gentle breeze that takes you by surprise fresh is simple with summer's eve the most convenient disposable douche you can buy this exclusive one-piece unit means there's nothing to assemble and it's available in two fragrances or vinegar and water the solution doctors recommend with summer's
Starting point is 00:10:41 Z, freshness has never been simpler. Because I want this chamber, I want this city to reflect the truth that for all our blind spots and shortcomings, we are a people with the strength and generosity of spirit to bridge divides, to unite in common effort to help our neighbors, whether down the street or on the other side of the world. I want our actions to tell every child. Well, there it is. I don't know if you caught the State of the Union addressed by President Barack Obama the other night. And, you know, it was interesting.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Watching it, there were beats that he had that kind of made you kind of get pride and proudful of the country. And there were beats where you felt like, oh, things are getting done. And there were beats where it's like, oh, everybody's coming together. And there were beats when we're taking care of the sick and the poor and the needy and the less fortunate. and there were beats when we were trying to, you know, manage all the conflicts on the planet. There were beats about global warming. And there was all good stuff, but I had this overall feeling. And I don't know if you share this or not, but this was my observation.
Starting point is 00:12:29 It felt like one of those kind of apple pie, all-American, root, root, raw, everything's great and we're the United States of America and I almost pictured like, you know, the 1950s where people are prating down Main Street and there's floats and there's flags and everybody's fine and rosy-cheeked and there's apple pies on the window ledges
Starting point is 00:13:00 and neighbors are holding hands and shaking hands and, you know, I just get a little worried that maybe those types of speeches, the kind that we heard, have seen their day. I think that, in my humble opinion, that the Internet, which has served a purpose to connect the world in many, many positive ways, It's also connected the world in many kind of evil ways. It's allowed the voices of those who would want to do good to get out to the rest of the world. But one of the byproducts that I don't know if we saw coming was it's allowed those who would want to put evil into the world to reach into everybody's lives.

And so I'm wondering out loud here if the old apple pie root root rah-rah American speech is feeling a little dated. It kind of feels like a normal. Rockwell painting. I don't know if you're familiar with Norman Rockwell, but he's a
Starting point is 00:15:33 famous painter that did, you know, kind of got famous for painting iconic scenes of the boy in the barber chair and the boy painting the picket fence and the mother serving up apple pie. If you look up Norman Rockwell on the internet, you'll see these kind of all-American images that are beautiful and wonderful and conjure up kind of the American dream. But now I feel like the world, and I don't want to be pessimistic or negative, but I do want to deal with reality when you look around at what's going on out there, you look at people being beheaded and held for hostage and school children being shot and it seems like the violence and the comic book madness is being ramped up more and more by the day.
Starting point is 00:16:27 And it's a little startling, and here's my point. I almost wonder if we need a president to stand up there now and kind of abandon the apple pie approach and get real and say, man, this is a fucked up world. We got violent fucking people out there. We got chaos and we got Boko Haram and we got radical Muslims and we've got, you know, countries that are building weapons, arsenals, and we've got people hacking us,
Starting point is 00:17:02 and people that are trying to bring down our infrastructure. I mean, it's not the world ain't as rosy as it used to be. There used to be a time when all the Muslim radical stuff and all that used to be over there, and it was kind of contained to the Middle East for the most part. But now it seems to be spreading into Belgium and France and London. and Australia and Canada and the United States and it's like it's like when you break your windshield on your car initially there's a little dot and then all these veins starts to spider out
Starting point is 00:17:41 and it's starting to feel like I don't know if you've ever read any graphic novel comic books like the the Batman's or you know some of these these graphic comic books that paint a world where everything's just like a crazy violent people with guns in the streets and cowboy justice and dark characters lurking in alleyways and shadows and I don't know. I wonder if the whole root, root, raw, American apple pie speech has to change and really reflect the state of affairs that we see every day in the world. I'm not making this stuff up.
Starting point is 00:18:26 I'm not trying to conjure it up. I'm not trying to be negative. I hate being negative. But I also know we have to deal with what we see, what's reality. And it's, is it time for a president to just freaking call it like it is? And we're in trouble. And we got a, we got a, we got a, we got a button down for the big battle. And we got to, we got to, we got to obliterate our enemies.
Starting point is 00:18:55 and I don't know. I don't know what the answer is, but I feel like there's a certain phoniness now to the State of the Union addresses. And even after the State of the Union addressed, they put on a leader from the GOP from the Republican side, some woman who I've never heard of, and she literally looked like she stepped out of like 1942.
Starting point is 00:19:21 She had a hairstyle that looked like someone glued a wig on her head, And she was talking like, she was talking like she just stepped out of a Norman Rockwell penny. He goes, I remember when I lived on the farm with my father, and we had one pair of shoes, and we knew that life was hard. But here in America, if you struggle and you work hard, you win. It just sounds so old and dated. I feel like we almost need someone to go, you know what, we got a lot of motherfucking bullshit going on out there. And it's time for America to kick.
Starting point is 00:19:55 some ass and not take names or something. I don't know what the verbiage is, the language is, but I just feel like someone needs to ratchet up these speeches and start dealing with the fucking insane state of the world. Those are my nutty thoughts. That was one of the thoughts. I mean, on the positive side, I do like some of the very positive points that the president brought up.
Starting point is 00:20:25 And those are all good, but I don't know. Something felt like these speeches have to get a lot more, you know, I think we're all beyond the whole. And I know a family in Arkansas who has a son who got up out of a wheelchair and he went and played baseball, and that's the American dream. That's the American family. Because we don't quit. We're America.
Starting point is 00:20:51 It's like, okay, we've had that for a long time. The world's chain. We're in a more violent place. We're in a more precarious, dangerous place. I think we need someone who can deliver a speech that, I don't know, reassures us or puts the fear of God into those who would try to harm us. I don't know. I'm just saying I felt like something felt old and tired and familiar.
Starting point is 00:21:19 And whatever the languages we need to up the state of the union addresses, Our presidents need to stop acting like everything's so apple pie because it ain't. And I hate it that we have to deal with that reality. I really do. I hate it that we would have to change the speeches to reflect the times. But if you don't, you're just living in a dream world. You're living in a fantasy world. And I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:46 I think you've got to deal with reality, man. So those are my thoughts. I don't know what you guys thought. But I thought there was some great stuff. and then stuff that just felt way too old and dated. What? Oh, God. We got to do another American eye.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Who is it? No way. Mr. Featherstone wants... Why is he doing it? Okay, this is my boss. Mr. Featherstone from upstairs wants to sing. American Idol. Good Lord.
