Starting point is 00:00:00 What a show, what a show. Don't you know it's such a show? And I better stop doing that because I want to get on with it. We have a wonderful show today. We lost a pioneer of the comedy industry today. So towards the end of the show, I'm going to do a little tribute to the late great Jerry Lewis who passed. And such a tragedy, so sad. But I'm going to reminisce, tell you.
Starting point is 00:00:30 A couple of stories of when I actually met Jerry Lewis and hung out with him and yada, yada, yada. So stick around for that. We'll pay tribute to his life in our short little wonderful way. Also, some wonderful phone calls from you, the pavement pounders. I'm going to take some of your delicious phone calls. And then a very interesting segment that involves your pee. Yeah. Yeah, it's a very weird segment.
Starting point is 00:01:01 It's creepy. It's kind of icky. But it's going to really change the way you think about your urine for the rest of your life. So I don't know if you even want to listen to that part. But either way, it's a well-rounded show. Jerry Lewis, your phone calls, and fresh golden pee. I mean, come on, man. You ready to do this?

Let us out of here! please let me tell you you're starting something here that that's what you should be frightened of oh fuck yeah but just leave us alone sit down strap in and shut up what's going on what's the matter i thought maybe if i could kill him i could make him stop my mother never breastfed me she told me she liked me he's a friend who are we this is the harland highway what it's the
Starting point is 00:02:22 Harland Highway. It's a cookbook. Hello? Hello? That's your fucking voice message now? Harland Highway? I used to be better. Okay, anyways.
Starting point is 00:02:42 My buddy here is sitting across from me. Shut up. Anyways, he's my buddy. That's why I told him to shut up. It's not the fucking original Tom Green. uh fucking episodes on BHS
Starting point is 00:02:56 okay he fucking downloaded them when they were on Rogers way back in the day and you recorded them fuck I don't know
Starting point is 00:03:03 but anyways fuck so anyways so if Tom Green is interested in these how would I send those to Tom Green for him to watch
Starting point is 00:03:15 and jerk off to fuck Twitter all right I'm not going to send that I'm not going to send it. I'm not going to send it. All right. Tom asked already. He's not, you know, who looks? Is this what you meant? I don't know what that means.
Starting point is 00:03:37 But anyways, fucking Harland, please fix your fucking answering machine to make it more funny. And I love the podcast. I love you, Harland. Well, it's great, my. Well, it's great to be loved, man. Thank you. Thanks for the love. And thanks for the phone message.
Starting point is 00:04:06 And, you know, I'm sure that Tom Green, because he created the Tom Green show, which is a show about him, that he's in almost exclusively, I'm pretty sure that Tom has copies of all his shows. It is very nice of you to extend that gesture of the VHS records of his shows. But trust me, I know Tom, and he keeps all that stuff, man. So he's good. But if you want to pop it in the mail, just, you know, put it in a big box, all the tapes, VHS tapes, if anyone even knows what those are anymore. And just label it Tom Green, Hollywood, California.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And just throw it in the mailbox or ship it, you know. But that's all you need. Tom Green, Hollywood, California. And it'll get to them. Don't worry. Um, so thank you for that. Shut up. Oh, you're telling me to shut up?
Starting point is 00:05:10 I love you. Okay, well, you don't tell someone to shut up if you love them, bro. Shut up. Okay, there you go again. Now I'm getting mixed signals from you, bro. I mean, what is it? Shut up, or you love me? Come on, dude.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I love you, Harlan. Okay, good. That's what I was hoping for. Shut up. Hello? Hello? Hey, Harlan. Just got done listening to your podcast about your first class experience on Delta.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Just had a thought. I would love to see this CEO of Delta sitting down at his big dinner table, and I'm sure he has waiters, his waiter coming up and saying, Sir, tonight we have an option of a cheeseburger or a salad. See how he reacts to it. Chikin Chau Main, baby. Shut up. Oh, I love that phone call.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Yes, excellent idea. If you listen to last week's podcast, or not last week's, the last podcast, I went on a rant about getting served a cheeseburger, or they attempted to serve a cheeseburger to me in first class on Delta Airlines. And this pavement pounder has an excellent suggestion. You know, let's see the CEO who makes, you know, 24 million a year and feeds his customers cheeseburgers. first class. Let's sit him down at a swanky restaurant at the Waldorf or the Granite Club or
Starting point is 00:06:49 someplace. You know, pianist in the corner playing all the beautiful, well-to-do people, you know, lobster, pheasant under glass, shark steaks, and the well-manicured waiter strides up. to the CEO of Delta's table and goes, Good evening, sir. How are you today? For tonight's dinner, I'd like to present you with the cheeseburger, sir. Where are you going, sir? Where did he go?
Starting point is 00:07:30 I offered him a cheeseburger. Is he mad? I mean, look at this place. There's a waiting list to get in here for five months. I just offered the CEO of Delta Cheeseburger. and he left in a huff as if he was insulted or so my goodness yeah man great call i i hope i hope somehow through the filter somehow that podcast gets through to delta and somehow it changes the uh it affects the the way they serve food not just to first class but to everybody
Starting point is 00:08:08 man everybody needs an upgrade in the airline food department boy but i want to move on to something else okay i want to move on to your urine that's right your urine oh it's lovely it's just lovely okay now this this next piece i'm about to do ladies and gentlemen and it's for the men for sure i don't know about the girls okay because i I haven't looked at girl urine, okay? I don't know how many of you dudes have looked at girl urine, but I have not. But as far as men urine, you're never going to look at your urine again the same, thanks to what I'm about to tell you.
Starting point is 00:08:54 If you don't want to have your perception of your urine changed forever, I suggest you don't listen to this segment, because once this gets in your head, I'm sorry, guys, For the rest of your life, you are going to visualize your urine the way in which I'm about to describe it. So if you don't want to think about it, and it's not necessarily pleasant, it's actually kind of creepy. So I'm urging you right now because I promise you, for the rest of your life, you will look at your urine as it sits in the toilet through the through the lens of how I'm about to describe it. And if you don't want that in your head,
Starting point is 00:09:43 because it's never going to leave, I'm about to put something in your head, boys, that's never going to leave for the rest of your life. And now you're probably like curious. You're like, oh, well, I got to hear it. And no, it won't stay in my head. It might stay in the other weakling's head, but not mine. Nope.
Starting point is 00:10:02 It's going to stay in your head, I promise. And you might regret it. you might it's one of those you ever hear the expression you can't unsee something well what i'm about to do is is is make you see something that you will never be able to unsee so i'm just i know i've said it four times already but skip through this segment right now if you don't want to be haunted by your creepy urine for the rest of your life here it goes i gave you fair warning. So when a man does his urine, he stands over the toilet bowl. And this is mostly for when you pee in the toilet bowl. It's not so much a urinal, you know, in a public space.
Starting point is 00:10:51 This is mostly applicable for when you gentlemen urinate in a toilet bowl. And ladies, I don't know how your urine settles when you urinate. I don't know. I don't know how aggressive it comes out of you. I don't know if it splashes. I know very, very little about female urine, okay? But because I'm a man and I urinate and I stand over the toilet bowl, when a man finishes urinating, more often than not, unless maybe he's been, you know, eating some kind of weird diet. Just through the natural interaction and physics and, you know, all the things that happen when, you know, urine hits the toilet water, man's urine usually bubbles up. It leaves like a foam on top of the water, kind of like the way you get a head on the top of a beer.
Starting point is 00:11:55 But with the man's urine, it's very often full of bubbles. And I know this is graphic, guys, but I saw this. I had a vision of it. You know, some people, they look at a wall and they see a stain, and they think they see Jesus or Mother Mary crying. Well, guess what? I saw something in my urine bubbles. If you still want to listen, I'm giving you one more chance to get out.
Starting point is 00:12:25 But it's demented me now forever, now it's going to dement you. So the man leaves a cover on the water, on the surface of the water, of reflective glistening urine bubbles, nestled in a small foam. It's not as thick as a beer. It's not like it's a Guinness from Ireland. but nonetheless there's a little bit of a white foam and then many, many, many urine bubbles, okay? And here's what happened to me the other day. I was standing over my finished urine, just about to flush.
Starting point is 00:13:08 And I looked down, and all of a sudden I realized, holy crap, spider eyes. And you're like, what, what do you say? What spider eyes? What do you mean? Well, if you're wondering what I mean, and if you're not a fan of insects the way I am, if you don't watch the nature shows, you're probably scratching your head going, what's the correlation between spider eyes and urine bubbles?
Starting point is 00:13:33 I don't know what he means. Maybe I shouldn't have listened. I'm confused. Well, I'm going to tell you what to do. Go on Google images right now or wherever you look at images on the internet and just type in the word spider eyes. Okay, spider eyes. And you're going to see a bunch of images come up of spider's faces and many spiders.
Starting point is 00:14:00 And I'm looking at one right now that has one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight eyes on its furry little face. And there's many here with four, and there's some with six, and they have multiple eyes. and these eyes, these spider eyes, are the same shape and have the same glisten and the same reflective properties as urine bubbles. And so here's where it, this is where it all comes together, guys. It's too late. If you thought you were going to get out of this,
Starting point is 00:14:37 now it's too late. You're in. For the rest of your life, you're going to look down at your urine bubbles and go, holy fox, spider eyes. Yeah, that's it. This is my thing. You're going to think that you're going to look at your pee bubbles and think of spider eyes.
Starting point is 00:14:58 You're going to see spider eyes floating in your urine, in your toilet water. The bubbles, they just look up at you. Once you've seen a picture of spider eyes, you know, maybe there is one way out of this. if you don't go to Google Images and don't look at Spider-Eyes, you might just get away from it. You might get away from never, ever, knowing what Spider-Eyes look like. But I think many of us probably somewhere in the back of our subconscious,
Starting point is 00:15:36 in our memory banks, in the files, in our brains, you probably know exactly what I'm talking. talking about those big, beady, reflective eyes on the face of a spider that look like bubbles. I don't know how I made the connection. I don't know why I made the connection. Maybe it was heavenly. Maybe God sent a message to me. But I was looking down at those yellow-tinted, transparent piss bubbles staring up at me.
Starting point is 00:16:10 And I'm like, good God. Looks like a spider staring at me out of my toilet. And there you go. And so now I can't go and urinate and look down without now thinking of spider eyes. And now you're going to think of it for the rest of your life. Because you probably, in the course of your life, never considered your urine bubbles. You know, everything in life, you know, you look at something and you attach information to it. You could look at some paneling on a wooden wall and go, hmm, interesting grain on that wood.
Starting point is 00:16:53 I like the color of that wood. Oh, the living room. I like the slant in the ceiling. I like the upholstery on that couch. I like the texture of this salad. You know, you usually attach something. kind of information to things you see. But you've probably looked at your urine bubbles your whole life
Starting point is 00:17:17 and not thought one damn thing about them, right? You've probably not attached any pertinent information or even any non-partinent information. You probably just never even thought about your urine bubbles. But now, oh, now, I hope you don't have anachnophobia. Yeah, acnophobia, the fear of spiders. For those of you that have that, whoa, you might want to pee in the dark, bros. Because you finish shaking out those last few drops,
Starting point is 00:17:51 and you got fucking tarantula eyes staring up at you right out of your toilet. You got a trapdoor spider. You got the black widow staring hungrily at your hanging vulnerable penis. Good God. And what if the spider thinks it's, It's an inchworm or something or a moth larva and lunges out of the toilet water and bites you with its poison fangs. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Now I'm getting ahead of myself. But anyways, there you go. From me to you, I'm sorry, or maybe you're enlightened by it. Maybe you're like, oh, great. Now my, when I piss, it's not so boring anymore. There's a little excitement. I used to just piss and flush it away, but now I get to see spider eyes. Oh, hooray.
Starting point is 00:18:40 I don't even have to piss, but I'm going to go to the bathroom because I want to see magic spider eyes. No, no, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, oh, oh. So there you go. For me to you, piss-bubbled spider eyes. Oh, let's switch. years to something else. Something sad that I
Starting point is 00:19:12 wish we didn't have to talk about it and it's sad, but it's something we got to talk about. We lost a legend today, a comedy legend. Jerry Lewis, okay? I think he was born in the 20s. And he was there, you know, at the beginning of the film industry, you know, the talkies and the, you know, just the golden years of Hollywood. when it just really was blowing up
Starting point is 00:19:41 and he was a bona fide star man Jerry Lewis known all over the world and just a real pioneer in comedy you know he was probably kind of like the Jim Carrey of his day Hey everybody who wants to have better sex No yes yes the answer is yes You always want to have better sex

You know how Jim Carrey was just one of these comedians that just did the most outrageous things and made the craziest faces and I won't be surprised.
Starting point is 00:21:26 I don't want to speak for Jim, but I would be willing to bet that Jim would say, hell yeah, Jerry Lewis had a big influence on my comedy. because Jerry was doing stuff during a time when, you know, comedy and acting and all that stuff was just unfolding. It was still being learned. It was still being found. You know, the film industry was relatively young. And so, you know, it was very kind of traditional. And, you know, you had your slapstick comics from the silent movies, the Buster Keatons, and the Lerner.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Laurel and Hardy's and all those guys. But then Jerry Lewis kind of brought this everyman quality to stand-up comedy. Those other comedy characters were kind of really big. You know, Buster Keaton and Laurel and Hardy and the Three Stooges. They had these kind of identities, these personas, where they're almost like you were watching a cartoon character. But Jerry Lewis kind of brought with him the ability of kind of playing the every man that blended in. He kind of looked like that sweet little, you know, college boy.
Starting point is 00:22:45 And man, when he just kind of took the mask off and unleashed his comedy timing and his comedy ability and his comedy courageousness, I mean, this guy took a lot of comedy chances. He did a lot of physicality and just the... the things he did with his facial expressions and his timing and his risk-taking. I mean, just a real pioneer. And there's people, you know, you get people that kind of have a love-hate relationship with Jerry Lewis. Like, oh, he was just a buffoon and he walked into walls and he just made all these twisted faces. He was the, hey, lady, you know, that's all he did.
Starting point is 00:23:29 But no, no, no, no. I object. I think if you sat down and watched like 10 or 15 of his movies you would start to see kind of the genius behind what he did and how he carved a path through the realm of comedy and I'm sure what he did still touches comedians to this day, man. And he did it at a time when, you know, now, days you can do just about anything and people go oh yeah okay yeah there's something new but
Starting point is 00:24:07 jerry kind of did it at a time as i said when when the movie you know industry was just kind of coming into its own and so he was a real risk taker man and a little quick uh quick story i met jerry lewis twice i met him my first time when i was just starting and stand-up comedy I think I was like 23 or 24 years old And myself and a whole group of Canadian comedians Went down to Las Vegas It was my first time to Vegas And this is when the Las Vegas strip
Starting point is 00:24:44 Was like the Mirage, the Holiday Inn, and Caesars You know, it was just a small little strip None of the big giant You know, Bellagios and the winds And the Mandalay Bayes These were not up yet so we went and it was me and Norm MacDonald and a bunch of other Canadian comedians
Starting point is 00:25:07 and we'd never been to Vegas and we got like this package deal to go for like four days or whatever and so we all went like 10 or 15 of us and we gambled and we had fun and I went to see Frank Sinatra and one of the things we did is we went to a boxing match at one of the casinos I had never been to boxing before And so we go there and me and these like, I think about six or seven of us comedians went.
Starting point is 00:25:36 And we're sitting there waiting for the fights to start. And the announcer gets in the ring, goes, ladies and gentlemen, and in the crowd tonight, one of the funniest men in the whole world. Here he is, Mr. Jerry Lewis. And sure enough, he points and Jerry Lewis stands up. He's sitting like, you know, 60 feet away from me. And I was a Canadian kid, you know, from the suburbs of Canada. And we didn't get celebrities and movie stars up in Canada, man.
Starting point is 00:26:05 I'd never seen one. And here's a guy that I grew up watching on black and white television with my sisters in the basement eating chips and popcorn. And, you know, being 5 and 6 and 10 and 11 years old. And this is Jerry Lewis twisting his face and contorting his body and doing funny voices and walking into walls. I mean, this guy made us laugh. He was part of my childhood.
Starting point is 00:26:31 And there he was. There he was. Jerry Lewis. I was just like, holy crap. And on top of that, I was a stand-up comedian at the beginning of my career. So I was like, oh, my God. And unfortunately, I didn't know this, but apparently Jerry Lewis had a reputation as he got older
Starting point is 00:26:53 as being one of the biggest douchebags in the entertainment industry. This isn't me saying it, but this is what was kind of the unspoken word that he was a real a-hole. Now, I can't verify that. You know, I can't verify. I wasn't around him enough to know. So I'm just telling you what other people in the entertainment business told me. And regardless, if he was or wasn't,
Starting point is 00:27:18 that doesn't discount his genius and all the joy and laughter. and innovation he brought to the world, okay? But anyways, I said, oh, my God, to the other comedians, and I've told this story on a podcast long, long ago, but I want to repeat it because, you know, he died, and this is my way of connecting with him. So I said, oh, my God, it's Jerry Lewis. Should I go over and shake his hand and say hi?
Starting point is 00:27:46 And all the other comedians I was with, I guess they knew the rumor about Jerry being a-hole. And I guess they wanted to throw a little naive Harlan into the lion's den. And they're like, oh, yeah, dude, go on over. Say hi to the guy, man, for sure. And I was like, really? And they're like, oh, yeah. So I go running over like a little schoolgirl.
Starting point is 00:28:09 And there's a security guard standing in front of Jerry, and he's sitting in there, you know, a few rows in with some beautiful woman. And I say to the security guard, I said, can I say hi to Mr. Lewis, you know? And then the guy goes, you go ahead, son. And he stepped aside. And I kind of stepped in, and I reached over a row of chairs. And I said, hi, Mr. Lewis. I'm a really big fan. And I reached in, and I shook his hand.
Starting point is 00:28:40 And he was really nice. And he goes, hey, thanks a lot, kid, you know. And I was like, oh, my God, this is great. I'm talking with Jerry Lewis. It's just me and him. And then I didn't know what to do. kind of starstruck and I thought well I better he's talking to me I better keep the conversation going so I say I just naively said so what's going on what's new and at that moment he broke
Starting point is 00:29:07 eye contact with me he just kind of looked away and out of the corner of his mouth he went take a seat and I was like what he said take a seat it's almost like that scene in a story. When the kid finally goes up to Santa Claus, sits on his lap, and says to Santa, I want a red rider rifle shotgun for Christmas. And he's thinking Santa's going to give him his toy rifle for Christmas. And Santa goes, you'll shoot your eye out, kid. And the kid's mouth just drops, and that's what I did. My jaw just dropped. I was like, whoa, what? Did he just tell me to take a seat? And then he wouldn't look at me. And I was just, standing there like a deer in the middle of the road with the headlights coming in the darkness
Starting point is 00:29:57 and I just felt trapped. I was in purgatory. I was in this neverworld. The childhood star of my dreams was sitting there and he shook my hand and said hi and now he just blew me off. And he won't even look at me to give me an indication of whether it really just happened or even give me a second glance as if to, you know, say, come on, kid, go. I was just hanging. And after about 30 seconds of just standing frozen like a snowman, it dawned on me. It's like, holy shit. He told me to take a seat.
Starting point is 00:30:35 And in that same instant, I went, I don't blame him. What kind of idiot am I asking him how it's going? What's new? He doesn't know me? What he's going to say? Well, Harlan, let's see. I just signed a deal with Universal and I'm dating five different girls and I'm going to Jamaica this summer and why would he tell me some some kid so I kind of hobbled back to my
Starting point is 00:31:00 seat I sat down I told the guys about my incredible experience about shaking his hand and they were like all kind of fascinated and then I told them he told me to take a seat and I haven't stopped hearing about it till this day okay they thought that was the funniest thing and whenever I see any those comics who were with me, guess what I hear? Take a seat. So that's kind of Jerry Lewis's burn on me has followed me around. But I wore it as a badge of honor. I'm like, if I got to get burned by someone and I'm a stand-up comedian,
Starting point is 00:31:35 let me be burned by one of the kings of comedy, man. I'll take it. And here's the irony now. Here's my second meeting with Jerry Lewis. Okay. Here it is 25 years later. probably longer probably 30 I'm in New York City
Starting point is 00:31:53 I'm doing the Conan O'Brien show when Conan used to be on NBC when he did late night with Conan O'Brien on NBC after the Tonight show and I'm a guest on the Conan show and guess who else is a guest on the Conan show that night? Uh-huh Jerry Lewis
Starting point is 00:32:15 Yeah man Jerry went out for I went out second, and then after the show, I was hanging with Conan, and Conan's like, hey, you know, I was in Conan's dressing room, and Conan goes, hey, you want to go say hi to Jerry Lewis? And I'm like, oh, my God, this is almost too good. So I'm like, okay, bro. So we go running into the Jerry Lewis's green room, and of course, Jerry's not going to blow Conan O'Brien off. So I'm standing there with Conan and, you know, Conan and, you know, Conan in. introduces me and I'm standing there and I'm standing in this tight little green room with
Starting point is 00:32:53 Jerry Lewis and we're just talking the three of us and I was just dying. I was dying inside to go, Jerry, you won't remember this, but do you remember when you told me to take a seat? And I didn't do it. I just, I let it go. I just thought, you know, isn't this funny that here I was a beady-eyed kid full of wonderment? who had just barely started his career in stand-up comedy. I'd probably been on stage for a year at that point in my life, maybe a year and a half. And I didn't know where it was going to lead me.
Starting point is 00:33:33 I didn't know where my stand-up comedy was going to take me. I didn't know if I'd ever get off of amateur night or if I'd ever be on TV or in movies. I had no idea. I just had all my dreams and my illusions. And can you believe it, folks? Here it is, 25, 30 years later, I'm on the same, you know, national, international, televised TV show that millions of people watch with the guy that told me to take a seat. And now I'm on the bill with them.
Starting point is 00:34:08 I've come up to a place where I'm worthy enough to be on the same show with someone who I consider to be one of the true geniuses of comedy. What an honor. And so I didn't bring it up. I just stood there and chit-chatted and listened and just absorbed and appreciated that I was in his presence. I didn't care if he was an a-hole. I didn't care if he told me to take a seat. All I cared about is how he made me giggle uncontrollably as a little boy.
Starting point is 00:34:45 in the basement with my sisters laughing and giggling and hearing him doing Chinese voices and putting on disguises and buck teeth and making his eyes go crossed. I didn't care about the real world and what he was like. I just kind of gave thanks that God put a guy like him on this earth and he's made so many of us laugh
Starting point is 00:35:14 and be filled with joy. And if for some reason in his real life he was bitter or he was an angry guy, well, you know, life's not easy sometimes. And he probably went through a lot. And hopefully if he was that way, again, this is all rumor. But if he was that way, I hope we can all forgive him. And just say thank you for all the laughter and joy he brought into our lives. and all the comedy that he influenced generations of future comedians.
