It's the most newest part of the year.
That's because it's still the first week of the year.
So there.
Hey, welcome, everybody.
Happy New Year to you.
Hope it's off to a good start.
So glad you're here on the Harland Highway.
What a show we have today?
Or should I say, not a great show because Dr. Ascot is dropping by.
My on-air therapist is here to start the year off with a whatever.
Let's see what happens.
Also, the Harland Highway Question of the Day.
This one involves something in the sports world
that is just a complete head scratch to me.
It's a phenomenon.
It's something that mystifies me.
I'm going to share it with you.
Maybe you guys have the answer for the Harland Highway question of the day.
Also, we're going to have a little fun.
I'm going to slip into Rogers Studio,
and I'm going to pick up one of his phone calls
and just mess with one of the callers.
We did that last podcast, and it was a lot of fun.
So I'm going to do it again today.
Just screw around with someone calling in Rogers Soundboot there.
And then lastly, interesting story about Twitter.
As you know, Donald Trump is like all Twitterized.
Everything, he's all, he's twitterizing the Twitter, Twitter, with the Twitter twatter.
So we're going to talk about Donald Trump's influence on Twitter and how you feel about it.
And let's do it.
This is the Harland Highway.
Sit down, strap in, and tighten your diaper.
Come here, baby.
You're about to go down the Harlan Highway.
No!
I didn't bargain for this.
Oh, yes, you did.
Chick-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chall-main, baby.
And the creature from all the space.
Please don't stop.
I got to be that ugly face.
My magnificent performance.
This is the Harland Highway.
I hate you.
Well, that's the way it goes.
What do you say?
We get down to business.
Oh, yeah.
Here we go, everybody.
Happy New Year.
Let's do this.
Come on, Rod.
Hit it.
Come on.
The Harland Highway.
Question of the day.
Yeah, I think this is an appropriate question, given the fact that we all.
are in, you know, entering into the football playoffs.
I don't know if you guys watch the NFL.
But if you do or you don't, you might be able to relate to this question of the day
because one of the most popular football teams in the NFL has made it into the playoffs.
And my question of the day, this is for the Miami Dolphins who have made it into the playoffs,
My question of the day is, what the hell color are their uniforms?
Have you, what the hell?
Have you seen the Miami Dolphins uniforms?
I don't know what color they are.
They're not green, they're not olive, they're not turquoise.
They're like this weird color that I've never seen anywhere else on planet Earth.
You know, you ever read these scientific journals
where they say, you know, the human eye can only capture so many colors.
It's only built.
It's only wired to catch so many colors.
But they say there's possibly hundreds of thousands of colors that the human eye can't even register.
So for all we know, trees could be a color that we don't even know exists.
So in our human mind, we perceive them as green.
But had we more advanced eyesight, more.
more advanced, you know, eye apparatus.
We might be seeing different colors.
We'd be seeing colors that, you know, we can't even describe.
Like, we got orange, red, black, blue, brown.
But if we had better eyes, there might be like, glorge, flursal,
plontentete, squark, blant.
You know, just we'd have to make up new colors.
And I look at the Miami Dolphins uniforms, and I'm like,
What the hell color is that?
I think that might be the one color that snuck through the whole, like,
we can't see a whole myriad of colors.
Because it's such a bizarre tone.
I watch my TV and I go, what is that?
Who found that color?
Who mixed the paint on that one?
Was there a drunk guy at the paint department at Home Depot?
he was just like hammered and he was you know that big they put the cans on that big paint shaker machine
was he like sneaking a bottle of jack daniels under the counter and he spilt it into a paint can and shook it up
and somehow came with my miami dolphin puke green or whatever turquoise or turquoise it is just a bizarre color i don't know what it is it's right at the
edge of turquoise, and it's somewhere between green and olive and a puke pea soup green.
I just, I don't know what it is.
It looks like sea turtle turns.
It looks like someone cacked out some seaweed in their pants.
It's just like the most obscure, weird color, and I don't know how it exists because I don't see it
anywhere. You ever look at a tropical ocean? You know, you ever see those beautiful pictures of
the Bahamas and Bermuda and the Turks and Caicos and Jamaica? And they show these bayous and
they show these shorelines with the turquoise oceans and the different shades of blue and green
and emerald. And they're just beautiful and you just want to dive in them and catch an octopus
Puss in your mouth?
Well, the Miami Dolphins, whatever color it is,
doesn't even exist in that world.
I don't know what color that is.
So for now, I think I'm just going to call it dolphin afterbirth.
There, if that's the name, you know, if there's orange, there's blue, there's red, there's
purple, there's green, there's pink, there's dolphin afterbirth color.
That's what that color is, because it is unsighted.
it makes me squeamish makes me air sick even when I'm not flying so there you go what the
hell color is the Miami Dolphids uniform the Harlan Highway question of the day the
harland highway question of the day oh yes well you know last podcast we had a little fun uh you know
I don't go into Rogers booth very often he sits over there and watches me through the
glass like a like a demented barn owl like I'm like I'm like a mouse wrapped in bacon and he just
stares at me with his big owl eyes hi I see you he waves at me uh but uh before the holidays I
went into Rogers booth and we had a little fun because you know people are always calling in
and asking questions and blah blah blah and so I decided to get up pick up the phone and just
mess with with uh someone who was calling for Roger
Roger. And so we had so much fun with it. We decided to do it again. And so I went back in there over the holidays. And we recorded another one. And you know what? I want to play it for you guys because it's a lot of fun. And here it is. Do you have a cute up, Roger? Okay. Here's me in Roger's booth. And somebody called in and I took the call. Hello?
Hey, where did you say to go to see the lovely ladies and the motorcycles?
Oh, oh, oh.
Are you calling about the thing?
I heard you talking about the motorcycles and somebody doing tricks or something like that.
Yeah, yeah, we got a guy down over at the thing doing motorcycle.
They're jumping over puppies today.
Do you like puppies?
that's crazy it is i know we we can't believe of this guy came to us and said we don't believe
him but he said he could jump over 25 puppies and we're like no way so we set it up and i think
it's happening at two o'clock and where's that at where let me ask my producer where's where's that
down by the bandamere yeah over at bandamere okay yeah this guys and this guys he claims that and with no
net nothing he claims he can jump over 25 puppies and we're worried about the six on the very end
because uh if he doesn't clear uh you know i mean you can probably picture what's going to happen
yeah it's not going to be pleasant at all do you do you like puppies i love puppies let me ask
you is you don't have any puppy helmets around your house do you i do not because we'd love to
slap some helmets on those little things i mean seriously
I mean, if this guy comes down on them, we want those guys to have some kind of protection.
Would you be willing to throw your body over the puppies at the end?
If I can get down there, I'll happily help.
You are an angel sent from heaven.
Well, have fun, man, and wear a splatter guard, okay?
I sure will.
Got blood?
Stay safe.
All right, buddy.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
You know, puppy helmets, right, everybody?
Don't you all have puppy helmets in your house with splatter guards on them?
So there we go.
We kind of just improvised that one.
Some guy called in about a motorcycle event,
and I turned it into puppy jumping.
But I want to switch gears into something a little more serious here.
I read an article in USA Today that caught my eye.

Don't throw your back out.
It says Twitter CEO feelings on Trump tweets, quote, complicated.
Now, don't worry, this isn't a Trump story.
This is actually a story about Twitter, which I find fascinating because, as you know, Twitter has been a floundering corporation company that's really struggled since it went public.
Twitter's been in existence for, I don't know, I think it's like six, seven years now, maybe shorter, maybe a bit longer.
And when it went into the stock market, when it went public as a trading company, there was so much heat around.
this company everyone was thinking they're going to make a fortune i was one of the ones that
bought into it and i'm still holding on to my original stock that i bought and it just went south
it kind of it went up for a little bit and then it just went south and it's been struggling
to find itself ever since and it's been trying to sell it at times and it's been trying to figure
out ways to monetize it better and attract more users and blah blah blah and all of a sudden here
comes Donald Trump, who's always on Twitter. And so the guy who is the CEO of Twitter was
asked about it, and here's the story. How does Jack Dorsey feel about President-elect Donald Trump
communicating with the world in 140 characters or less? The CEO says, quote, complicated.
The story goes on to say that Trump waged the presidential campaign on Twitter, and now,
as the incoming commander-in-chief,
he's using that digital bully pulpit
to push his agenda,
making claims about millions of illegal votes,
hinting he may ban flag-burning
and criticizing Boeing
over the high cost of a new Air Force One.
So the CEO continues to say,
quote, what does this mean to have a direct line
to how he's thinking in real time?
I'm not sure, Dorsey said.
Quote, we certainly play a big part
in distributing news and a public.
opinions and what people think about what's going on in the world. And you know, we have a role
and a responsibility to make sure people are seeing what they need to see and they can have
easy conversations and really get to the truth. And that's complicated. We are learning as quickly
as we can. Dorsey, who is one of the co-founders of the social media surface, said Trump's
maverick use of Twitter is unprecedented. That has put the spotlight on Twitter and has clearly
prompted some introspection. Dorsey says, quote, I think it's an important time for the
company and the surface and having the president-elect on our service, using it as a direct line
of communication, allows everyone to see what's on his mind in the moment. I think that's interesting,
he said. He goes on to say, I haven't seen that before. We are definitely entering a new world
where everything is on the surface, and we can see it all in real time and have conversations about it.
Where does that go?
I'm not really sure, but it's definitely been fascinating to learn from.
And then when asked if he feels responsible for Trump being elected president,
Dorsey replied, America is responsible for Donald Trump being president.
So, you know, I'm not getting the sense that this Dorsey guy is nuts about Donald Trump,
as, you know, most people in, you know, the media and Silicon Valley and all that are not.
but I'll tell you what this guy better bow down to the Twitter gods and say thank you for Donald Trump
because as I said Twitter was floundering Twitter is neat Twitter is cool Twitter is interesting for
kind of a specific group of people but now that the most powerful man on planet Earth is
using it regularly I mean Donald Trump may be the saving grace for Twitter
whether they want to acknowledge it or not, whether they like them or not, whether you like them or not.
And this story isn't about endorsing Trump and his politics.
This is just talking about how by Donald Trump being so proactive on Twitter,
he may save a sinking company.
And so if this guy Dorsey is not for Trump or against Trump or tries to censor Trump or doesn't like what Trump's doing,
he better shift gears rapidly because, you know, you've got to imagine with Trump as the president
and with his radical tweets and his outspoken tweets and his shocking and surprising tweets,
you've got to figure that Donald Trump is going to attract millions upon millions upon millions of Twitter followers across the globe.
Because that's going to be the fastest way to hear for.
from this maverick president.
He's unpredictable.
He keeps people off guard.
You don't know what he's going to say.
He could say something brilliant.
He could say something really stupid.
He could say something inflammatory.
He could say something very kind and gentle.
I don't know if any of you are following him yet,
but, you know, he put out a very touching tweet,
wishing everyone a happy New Year.
He put a very touching tweet out regarding Christmas.
He put a very touching tweet out regarding Christmas.
you know, people that were hurt and killed in terrorist activities.
He's put some inflammatory tweets out regarding the nuclear arms race.
He's had some very kind tweets back and forth with Vladimir Putin.
I mean, it's just, he's creating a whole new world out there.
And even if you don't like Trump, I recommend you follow his Twitter feed because it's pretty fascinating.
If you hate him or love him, one thing you can't do is call him boring.
I mean, let's be honest, if Bernie Saunders or Hillary or Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush or, you know, little Marco, Marco Rubio or any of those other people had won the presidency, conservative, Republican, Democrat, Independent, would you really be that interested? Would you really care?
Because you know the tweets would probably be stale and scripted and run through the front office and, you know,
but but you know
Trump is tweeting stuff that they can
you know that can change the world
I mean here's a guy that that could
put out a tweet
that maybe save someone's life
or he could put out a tweet that triggers
World War III
and it's just it's fascinating
it's scary it's odd it's new
it's fresh but at the end of the day
and again I have to keep going back
to whether you like them
not because people get so inflammatory every time I even mention Trump, even if it's just like
in association to something like this, where I'm not spouting my support for him. I'm just
talking about a related issue. You have to admit it's refreshing to see a politician, an American
politician, a president who
is so open, who is willing to, you know, put his foot in his mouth or say something
poetic or say something charming or silly or just off the cuff.
I mean, it gives you a little bit of a sense that here's a man who wants to be in contact
with the citizens that he's overseeing.
And you got to admit, you know, there's been no other president in history that you kind of felt that you were this close to.
And for some of you there, you're like, oh, God, I don't want them this close to me.
But for others of you, it might be, you know, I kind of like this.
I like hearing what's on his mind in his words.
It doesn't go through his press secretary.
It doesn't go through the New York Times.
It doesn't go through the L.A. Times.
It doesn't go through NBC news or CNN or Fox News or whoever.
I don't know, man.
I think this is interesting.
I think this is kind of cool.
I think it's refreshing.
Could it end up causing problems?
Could it end up blowing up in his face?
Could it end up causing America problems?
Maybe.
But let's stop pretending that we still live in the 1950s, man.
You know, all this technology wasn't just invented for all us folks in the suburbs
or living in the artsy loft downtown.
I mean, this technology was developed Twitter and Facebook and Google.
This was all created for mankind.
I mean, there are African Bushmen who probably have Twitter and Facebook accounts.
There are Eskimos that probably have Twitter and Facebook accounts.
There are people in the North Pole and the South.
Poland and Greenland and Iceland and China and then the Himalayas and all over the planet, man,
people in the Amazon rainforest that have these accounts.
And so it makes sense that the president would be on there reaching out to people.
You know, it's almost like, remember back in the day when we didn't have TV or we didn't have
radio, well, did political leaders get on the media of radio and talk to.
through the radio to his constituents, to the people, to the masses?
Yes.
And then when TV came along, did presidents get on TV and talk to people through the TV screen?
Absolutely.
And so this is just a modern form of communication that, you know, by all rights, any president, any politician, anyone doing anything should have the right to talk through it.
And so in a way, it's kind of very progressive of Donald Trump.
And, you know, remember, it's like everything else in this election.
They all told Donald he was going to lose.
They all called him a joke.
They all said everything.
He said he was wrong.
He's never going to win.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And now, you know, everyone's saying, oh, get the hell off Twitter.
Why is he on Twitter?
He's got to stop tweeting.
No, he doesn't.
Why can't we accept that maybe,
someone new and fresh is coming through the door
and maybe opening our eyes to something.
I don't know.
It might be fun for anyone listening to get on Twitter
and maybe start following.
Or maybe you're too disgusted.
I don't know.
You don't have to.
But it's free.
It doesn't cost you anything.
And sometimes it's fun to be the first to know
if Donald Trump says something stupid
or something genius, you're going to know the second he says it,
which I think is pretty interesting, man.
So in closing, my comment about this whole thing is, you know,
the CEO, Jack Dorsey, and believe me, the Twitter has been struggling.
They've been trying all kinds of different game plans to make Twitter a success.
And they are in debt.
They owe a lot of money.
They've had to let people go.
They've had to close down their office spaces.
They've had to reduce their size.
And all of a sudden, this guy comes along who many think is a buffoon, this president, Donald Trump, might just save Twitter.
So if you look at Donald Trump saying he wants to help businesses thrive and help the economy thrive, he may by accident be helping Twitter prosper.
Twitter might just stay alive and might even grow bigger and bigger and bigger.
I'll tell you what, I'm holding on to my stock.
And if you're into buying stocks, now might be a good time to look at Twitter.
Because I'll tell you what, it's dirt cheap.
You know what?
I'm going to go on my phone right now and tell you how much it is.
Because I've been thinking, when the hell am I going to sell my Twitter stock that I bought
when Twitter first went public?
And I keep believing, well, it's got to go.
I think I bought it at $34 or $40 a share.
Guess what it's at now, gang?
$16.
$16 a share.
So if you believe, like I believe, that Donald Trump, as he gets more and more traction,
as he becomes the actual president, he gets sworn in, and he's still tweeting,
I've got to believe that millions upon millions of people around the world
are going to start piling onto Twitter.
and you're going to see that $16, maybe go up and up and up.
So I'm not a stock trader.
I'm not a professional, but hey, even though you hate Trump,
how would you like to make some money off of him?
This is a stock tip from me to you that I'm not a professional.
You take it or leave it.
I'm just throwing it out there.
$16 a share is pretty damn cheap, man.
and if Donald Trump gets on there and starts blowing up Twitter
and everyone wants to hear him first,
guess what?
There's only one way for that stock to go and that's up.
So it could be up to 24.
I'll even step out on a limb.
Why don't you guys check me at the end of the year?
And don't hold me to this.
Don't buy stocks based on me saying it.
This is just me pontificating about it.
But I'm going to go out on a limb
and say that the Twitter stock is between 24 and 40 points a share by the end of the year.
Okay? Anybody want to jot that down? It's at 16 now.
Okay? And I don't have a crystal ball. I could be completely wrong. Twitter could shut down,
but my instincts are telling me, and don't forget, my instincts were right about who won the election.
Hello. I'm going to guess that Twitter stocks are up.
between 24 and 40 bucks per share.
And that's profit in your pocket if you decide on your own volition to invest in Twitter.
Hell, I might even buy more, but for now I'm going to sit, I'm going to watch.
But in a whole year, a year from now, January 1st, 2018, let's see where it's at.
I hope some of you, I might forget, so I hope some of you write into me or phone
to me and remind me, okay? And see if my instincts were right. From 16 to between 24 and 40 a share.
There you go. Who knows? Maybe Donald's going to make us some money or not. Don't listen to me.
Do what you want, but that's my peace of mind. That's my guess. My uneducated, stupid, dumbass, mental case guess.
okay oh look at that we got into into stocks um so anyways i thought there was an interesting story
and for those of you that want to follow me on twitter by the way uh my handle is at harland
williams i would love to have you on board i like to tweet out uh funny little pictures and
little i tweet out jokes i try to do stuff that i think will put a smile on your face during
the day maybe get you thinking give you a little laugh it's fun because
As you know, you can only do like 140 characters or something like that.
So nothing's ever long and boring and drawing out like this last story.
A lot of you are like, all right, we get it.
Twitter.
Hurry up.
So there you go.
I'll leave it right there.
And for Twitter's sake, I hope, I hope it blows up, man.
Godspeed to Twitter.
I'm leaving you people.
What do you mean, you people?
What do you mean, you people?
I think what
Tug means is you people
You actors, you people
Hello, Arland
What, Dr. Ascot?
Hello, Arland.
When did you come in here?
Holland.
No, I didn't even hear you come in.
I was in here doing a bit about
I heard you, Holland.
What are you doing here?
Holland.
Dr. Ascot, what do you?
And why are you wearing that sweat?
Orland.
Well, who wears a purple sweater with yellow polka dots?
Holland.
Good Lord.
What do you want?
Holland, it's a new year and I felt it's important that we sit down and have a little therapy session, Arland.
Oh, God, it's like I wasn't expecting to see you this soon into the new year.
Holland.
And stop saying my name, okay?
I don't want to start the year.
with you irritating me.
Oh, come on, Ascot.
Arland, I want to talk about how your last year went.
My last year was so-so, you know, I don't feel like I got everything done I wanted to do.
I felt a little unmotivated at times.
Maybe it wasn't a stellar year. I don't know why.
Arland.
Well, it wasn't.
Well, maybe we can turn it around this year, Arland.
Okay, how do we do that, Ascot?
Holland, I heard you talking about the future president Donald Trump.
Yes, so?
Well, if you'll remember, Holland, he wore a very inspirational baseball cap.
Yeah, I know, he wore the Red, the Let's Make America Great Again baseball hat.
And as you can see, that hat also inspired not only him, but everyone around him, Arland.
Okay, and the connection here is Ascot.
Well, I recommend that if you have a hat that inspires you and keeps you on track,
it might make for a healthier, more robust year for you a head,
Arland.
You know, I hate to say it, Ascott, but that maybe makes a little sense.
I guess a little inspiration every time you look in the mirror can't hurt, right?
Exactly, Arland. That's called
Positive Reinforcement Psychology.
Okay, and what do you call your loafers?
Holland.
Well, come on, they're banana yellow.
I mean, the fact you wear penny loafers with no socks is bad enough,
but the fact that they look like wicker, banana yellow penny loafers.
Holland.
Well, they do, and you have to crotch your legs like that?
Holland.
You'll crotch your legs like a girl.
asked Scott.
Arland, I censure deflecting from the hats I'm about to present you.
What do you mean, present me with hats?
Well, Arland, I looked at your training report this year,
and it says that you didn't perform so well as did your podcast not perform, well, Arland.
Oh, God.
Were you looking at the internal assessments of my...
That's part of my job, Arland.
Oh, God.
That just feels like a...
violation. Well, I've brought you some inspirational hats that you can wear throughout the year,
Holland, that might help you have a more productive, bountiful and fruitful year. Oh, God, what do you
mean? Well, they have little slogans on them, just like President Trump's Let's Make America
Great Again hat. Oh, and I'm supposed to wear these things? Absolutely, Holland, or you
might want to wear a pink slip.
All right, well, what are the hats?
Well, I have one here that's very, very positive, Holland.
Okay, and what does that one say?
Let me pull it out.
Ah, look at this.
I support fun and travel, Holland.
I support fun and travel.
Let me see that.
Okay, the hat, let me read it.
I suck fart tacos.
Well, no, that's a typo, Holland.
No, that's what it says, I suck fart tacos.
Well, it should say I support fun and travel, Arland.
Okay, well, that's not what it says.
It clearly says, I suck fart tacos.
I'm not wearing this.
Holland, you will wear it, and you will have a more positive outlook.
How am I going to have a positive outlook wearing a baseball hat that says,
I suck fart tacos?
Holland, you will wear this one for the first quarter of the year.
What are you talking?
And for the second quarter of the year, you will wear this very positive hat.
It says, I need support.
I need support.
Okay, what does it say?
What does it say?
I eat psoriasis?
No, Holland.
It says, I need support.
It says, I eat serri.
Where are you getting these printed?
Well, we wanted to get them made as cheaply as possible, Arland, so we got the made in China.
Well, clearly they didn't spell this stuff, right?
I eat psoriasis.
I need support, is what it says, Holland.
Well, it doesn't say that, and I'm not wearing it.
You will wear it, and here's number three, Holland.
A very, very positive message for you to wear on your head for everyone to see.
it says don't treat me bad
something to do with self-respect
No it does not say don't treat me bad
It says oh God says I eat your tea bag
Holland it does not
I'm reading it right here I eat your tea bag
And yours is spelled Y-O-R
Holland
What part of China did you get these made-in
Ascot
Is your final hat that you will wear
for the last quarter of the year.
I am not wearing your stupid hat.
You will get a pink slip, Arland.
Oh, God, what's the last one say?

Voices. And many of you may not have been aware that over the years, I've done quite a bit of
voice work in the animation industry, movies, television shows, cartoons. And I kind of put up a
little sampling of a lot of the voice work that I've done over the years. You might be surprised
to see what I've done because I got a lot of people asking about that. And I thought, well, I
I should probably just put it up so people can look at it.
And so that's now on the Harlem Williams website, harlowe Williams.com for you to peruse.
If you've got a whole empty night one night, just sit there and peruse all that voice work.
Yeah.
But there is some cool stuff there.

I hope your new year is off to a good start.
Once again, happy new year.
I usually kind of say happy new year, kind of midway through January.
About the third week of January, I kind of tail it off.
So I'll be saying it for a few more podcasts.
Because I want you to have a good year, man.
Is that so bad?
