Do you know the way to the Harland Highway?
Oh, yeah, here it is. You're on it. You're on it.
You don't need to know the way. You are here on the Harland Highway podcast.
Hey, everybody. My name's Harlan Williams. I'm your host of said podcast.
What a show we have today. Oh, my God.
The discovery of a new species that already existed. Wait, what?
Yeah, that's right.
Wait, do you hear this, man.
A new species is discovered that already existed.
How does that work?
Well, you're going to find out when we do a crazy, crazy news story.
Holy jumping jelly beans.
And speaking of crazy news stories, how about this sex scandal with big Hollywood time movie mogul Harvey Weinstein?
We're going to be talking about that.
And we're going to be talking about my connection to the whole thing, which isn't much,
but, you know, I have a little tiny connection to it.
And then, you know, on the topic of the sex addiction, which Harvey Weinstein has acknowledged he has,
we're going to call an actual sex clinic, a sex addiction clinic, and talk to a patient
about what it's like and how it feels and how you cure sex addiction.
So put your condom on.
This is the Harland Highway.
Put on your seatbelt.
It's about to get bumpy.
Oh, how perfectly awful.
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine.
When will they take the bandages off?
We don't know who we are.
We don't know where we are.
You're riding down the Harland Highway.
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, bud.
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 Harland Highway.
It's a cop-book.
Ah!
Holy Harvey Weinstein, huh?
Whoa, hang on, Harvey.
Wow.
So I guess if you've been watching the news,
you're aware of this whole Harvey Weinstein,
Hollywood movie mogul, sex abuse, the asco.
Yikes.
Harvey Weinstein is, he's a portly man.
He's a big man.
he's not what I would classify as a leading man with his looks.
He doesn't have leading man good looks.
He's kind of a big burly, rough around the edges looking guy.
Probably overweight and, you know, scruffy.
And this guy somehow through his dealings in Hollywood kind of rose to the top.
of the heap in La La Land as a, you know, a producer and a production company that makes content,
films, TV shows, whatever, you know, they usually do a lot of the avant-garde movies,
the Oscar-worthy movies, the artsy-fartsy movies, for the most part.
That's their bread butter.
And they've done well, and they've produced.
produce some great movies, but behind the scenes, I guess one of the co-founders, one of the Weinstein brothers, was kind of taken advantage of his position and his status and his wealth that was using that as leverage against young, vulnerable, susceptible actresses and women who were trying to, you know,
know, make their way through the often corrupt and over-sexualized Hollywood system.
And it sounds like our boy Harvey was more than happy to kind of use his influence to bully or persuade
or maybe even assault and rape from what I'm hearing.
and girls and women
who were here in Los Angeles
and who knows if it filtered overseas and whatnot
and now all the you know what is hitting the fan
and Harvey is
you know he's put out a few emails
and letters asking for forgiveness and help
and he's going to a sex addiction clinic
in Europe to help him manage this moment.
You know what?
I just, I don't feel a lot of sympathy for these people that commit all these atrocities.
And then once they're caught, they try to put a healthy face on it by going to, you know, get some help.
You know what?
I think the person that really cares acknowledges they have to.
a problem while they're in the midst of it and get some help they don't they don't wait till
they're busted oh you're caught well okay i guess i better get some help and clean this up
no buddy you should have cleaned it up when you were uh violating other human beings that's when
you should have cleaned it up you never should have started by the way but you should have cleaned
it up when you uh obviously knew it wasn't right and you had a problem
pal and this is also something i think tiger woods went through this when he was uh when he was
kind of caught in the middle of of having multiple affairs behind his wife's back he he ran to a
sex addiction clinic and i are we calling over to a sex addiction clinic today we're going to
talk to somebody okay good okay so we're going to later in the show we're going to actually
call a one of these sex clinics and I guess one of the patients has agreed to talk to us
because it's a serious condition I guess so maybe we'll be able to shine more light on this
maybe we'll be able to uh you know get deeper into the world of sex addiction and it's
certainly having a rippling effect through Hollywood and and high level uh actors and producers and
all kinds of people now even like Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are starting to get pulled into
the fray a little bit here and then you've got all these these uh you know these high
volutein actresses who you know year after year get up on the Oscar podium or show up at
on the stage at uh you know women's rallies or or for women's causes and you know that
They shout at the top of their lungs, women power, women power.
And a lot of these women have worked with Harvey Weinstein.
And it sounds like some of them are coming out of the woodwork and condemning them.
And other ones, it's crickets.
So it's like, hey, let's go, man.
What's the double standard here?
So it's always good when someone like this gets busted because it's,
It's just not right, man.
As an actor in Hollywood myself, I can tell you, man, it's a hard journey.
It's a very hard journey.
You think getting a movie rule is hard?
It's hard just to get a toothpaste commercial in this town.
It is hard to get anything.
And to get multiple things is even harder.
and to build a career as an actor and keep it there is even harder.
It's so freaking tough.
And I would dare say that the ladies have it even tougher, you know,
because they are more susceptible to this kind of casting couch mentality, right?
And I've seen it, man.
I've seen it.
I won't mention names or I won't say who or what,
and I'm not referring to Harvey Weinstein,
but I've seen other girls and I've seen, you know, other ladies who, you know, in my opinion,
I've been kind of like being used or being kind of conned or being manipulated into, you know,
dating or going out with someone just because of their status.
I mean, I got to tell you, man, it's a little creepy sometimes to see.
But, you know, in all true defense, I guess you could say that of any industry,
wherever there's high roller players, you know, I'm sure the two guys that created Google
and I'm sure Tesla and anyone who's of that, you know, ilk,
I'm sure they, they, you know, have their stuff.
share of opportunities with the ladies and being in a position of power and whatnot.
But anyways, it's interesting because I was just, you know, being in Hollywood here,
you're probably going, well, Harland, have you ever had any interactions with Harvey Weinstein?
Well, coincidentally, oddly enough, I did not have an interaction with him directly,
but about, I don't know, about three weeks ago,
I was actually in their offices.
I went to a meeting to pitch some shows,
some ideas for some television shows
at the Harvey Weinstein facilities
at their head offices in Beverly Hills.
I was sitting in a boardroom
and chatting with a very wonderful, lovely executive
who couldn't have been more articulate and professional and gracious.
She was absolutely beautiful, and she was really awesome.
So I had a good experience within the walls of the company,
but that being said, I was not aware of all this stuff,
and I did not meet with Harvey himself.
So I don't know if all this is going to blow my chances for getting anything going with them work-wise.
I don't know what the future
that company will be
because, you know,
if Harvey had been doing this for a year,
it's like, okay, shame on him.
But the fact that it sounds like
he's been doing this for 30 years,
it's like, okay, who at the company didn't know?
How do you not know?
How did his brother not know?
You just kind of go, wait a minute.
You know, so, and then on the other
Other side of it, one of the main accusers that came out is a beautiful actress
named Rose McGowan, who you're like, well, Harland, have you ever had any interactions
with Rose McGowan?
And the answer is, well, yes, I have.
Years ago, we're talking like 10 years ago or maybe even 12 years ago.
I was out and about on the town, you know, highfalutin with some buddies.
We were out at a bar and having some drinkies, having some beers,
and I was single, and I was hanging out.
And I didn't really know who Rose McGowan was.
And I guess she knew who I was, and I'm just hanging about,
and all of a sudden she kind of locks eyes with me.
I see, oh, there's a pretty girl.
She saunters across the bar right up to me and plops down.
We sit down in a chair at a little table.
and we're staring into each other's eyes.
And I don't know if she'll remember this, but I sure do because it was like she was like kind of coming on to me pretty aggressively.
And I don't mean she was touching me here, but she was just like verbally saying out, you know, that she was really like, liked me and was like, wanted to hang out and stuff.
Unfortunately, I didn't really know who she was at that time yet.
I was not in tune with who Rose McGowan was.
And so afterwards, we had a nice little conversation when you hung out.
I could tell she was being very flirtatious and coming on to me.
And I kind of just didn't take the bait because I just didn't know who she was.
And afterwards, my buddy was like, you know who that was, right?
And I go, no.
I was like, blah, blah.
Then he told me, and for a minute I was like, oh, really?
And then he goes, yeah, she dated Marilyn Manson for a while.
And then I kind of went, oh, really?
You know, that little excitement I had for a second because she was a famous actress.
Suddenly got a little tarnished when I knew that Marilyn Manson had his creepy hands all over her.
I was kind of like, ooh, no thanks.
Um, get me some Perel, please.
Um, so, so anyways, that none of this matters what I'm saying about Rose McGowan or probably my meeting at the Weinstein.
But it's funny how things are a little bit connected.
And then I was just telling you, that's kind of my point of reference and my, my interaction with, uh, with a couple of the key players.
But anyways, it's sad to see.
I guess Harvey, it's that old adage, you made your bed.
Now you got to sleep in it.
And we'll see what happens, man.
It sounds like he's done.
He's cooked.
But as I said, later in the show, we will take a call.
We're going to connect with a sex addiction clinic and talk to one of its patients
and kind of get further insight into the world of sex addiction.
Yikes.
But for now, Roger, why don't we switch gears?
And do we have a crazy news story we can do?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Roger's talking.
Whenever you hear me talking and you don't hear Roger,
that's Roger talking to my earphones, okay?
So he says we have a crazy news story,
and it has something to do with seafood.
So do it.
Let's play it, man.
The Harland Highlands.
The Harland Highway.
Crazy news stories.
That's weird.
Wow.
That's strange stuff.
I made you crazy.
Okay, well, I said in the intro there, it involves seafood, but I guess we have to ask,
is it really seafood?
Listen to this crazy news story headline.
It kind of made me happy this one.
Crazy news story headline, six-legged land lobster.
long thought extinct
discovered on volcanic crag
I love that
I love that that word crag
you don't hear that a lot
Hey man where'd you buy your new wheelbarrow
Oh I got it on crags list man
Oh that's craggy bro
So here we go
I said a land lobster
So that's what I'm saying
Can it really be classified as seafood
If it's got the word land in it
This, first of all, before I read the story, I really like it that too often we hear about species being extinct or on the endangered species list or they're gone forever.
How fun and happy does it make you feel when you hear that these creatures still exist?
Hell yeah.
Here we go.
Nearly a hundred years ago, a British supply ship ran aground at Lord.
how a tiny island roughly 400 miles east of australia black rats trickled off the ship scouring the
island and feasting on its native bug a large spindly stick insect known as drydocles australes or
the land lobster bum bum bum we have to open a new food food chain called the the red landlop
It says here within 30 years, the Lord Howe Island stick insects vanished.
30 years, that's a lot of eating for those rats.
Man.
Then in 1964, climbers on a nearby volcano known as Balls Pyramid.
Yikes, that sounds like it hurts.
Whenever you hear the word balls and pyramid, don't you just picture something?
some loser running to the top of the pointy pyramids,
he slips and squishes his balls on the tip of the pyramids?
I don't want to hear balls pyramids.
Volcano known as Ballas pyramids found a dead insect
that looked suspiciously like the fabled land lobster.
Decades later, researchers in 2001 found two dozen of the...
glossy black bugs slithering in the mud.
Dun, don't, da.
Those bugs, though, looked a little different.
They were thinner with leaner hind legs and different tail ends.
For researchers, it begged the question,
were these newly found insects and evolution of the Lord Howe Island ones?
Or something else?
Dun, da, da.
The very same, according to a new paper and current biology,
which found DNA between the two different by less than 1%,
suggesting that the two populations most likely diverged
after the origin of the species
and not long enough ago for speciation to have taken place.
I don't know what that word means speciation.
I guess it means, I don't know.
I think we know, like, I think we get it,
because we're talking about species,
but we don't get it.
Like, I'll read it again.
after the origin of the species, and not long enough for speciation to have taken place.
Like something to do with it becoming a species, I guess.
Fewer than 30 adult stick insects are left on Ball's Pyramid.
Ouch!
Per the conversation, making it perhaps the rarest insect on earth.
Now researchers want to bring the stick bug back to Lord Howe Island,
but first, those rats must die.
A rodent eradication effort will take place on Lord Howe in 2018,
after which, if successful, the landlopster will return home.
Bam, bum, bum.
Well, I always wonder how they do that, right?
How do you eradicate the rats?
I mean, rats are one of the most elusive, stealthy,
you know, smart creatures alive.
And you're talking about wiping rats off of a whole island?
I'm not sure you can successfully do that.
I mean, these rats are resilient, man.
Rats will probably survive the nuclear holocaust.
Hey, everybody.
Who wants to have better sex?
No?
Yes.
Yes.
The answer is yes.
You always want to have better sex.
That's what, you want it to be better, not worse.

But you got to admire the rats, right?
Most rats are in an alleyway.
They find an old pizza crust.
You know, they're eating a rotten potato and a dumpster.
They find like a potato chip behind a toilet at the airport.
What are the Balls Island?
The Balls Island rats chowing down on lobster.
Oh, yeah, living large, hey, buddy?
Have yourself.
What are you having for dinner tonight, Melvin?
Well, I'm going to have a damn lobster.
What are you having?
Same thing, lobster.
You don't want to go in the water and risk getting eaten by a fish, do you?
Hell no, I'm having a land lobster.
And since they're at the edge of the volcano, I might broil the damn thing.
Anybody got any melted butter?
I can't believe it's not butter.
So there you go, man.
First of all, congratulations to the land lobster for coming back.
And second of all, um, just, uh, cool.
A land lobster.
Great.
Now they're going to repopulate the planet.
Now we got to walk around and worry about getting our asses pinched everywhere we go.
Ah, what the hell was that?
Uh, looks like you got bit by a land lobster, dude.
Like, isn't it bad enough we got mosquitoes and ants and hornets?
Now we got to walk around worrying about a, a,
A lobster chomping our ass?
Oh, well, I guess I'm happy.
I'm happy for the return of the landlobster.
Rice, a rumy, the sand prince in your tree.
All right, we got them, Raj?
Okay, this is the sex clinic?
All right, no, we don't have to say where it is,
But let's just, yeah, we don't want to pin it down, track it down.
It's a patient at a sex addiction clinic.
Okay, okay.
Sorry, folks, I'm talking to Roger in my earphones here.
As we discussed earlier, we do have a gentleman who's calling us from his chambers
at a sex addiction clinic, which we will not name for the purposes of being discreet
and keeping the gentleman's location secure and private.
But this gentleman, your name, sir, is Barney Brown.
Hello, sir.
Hi, how are you?
Good, sir.
This is, if I'm getting the name correct, Barney Brown.
That's right.
Beebe, they call me.
My friends call me Beebe.
Okay, BB.
Thank you.
Thank you for joining us today.
This is a very topical issue going on right now.
And I'm sure you've seen on TV the situation.
With Mr. Weinstein?
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
Been there, done that.
Okay.
Wow.
So, this is a common pattern you'll see in, you know, sexual predators like myself, sex addicts.
We just have an appetite for sexual activity.
We like the feeling of being sexually dominant, having power over our, well, our victims, if you will.
Wow, that's a strong word, Barney.
you know, victims, that that carries a lot of weight, a lot of gravitas.
Well, it's part of what gives us the rush.
It's, you know, we live these lives.
Some of us are movers and shakers.
Some of us are powerful people.
And some of us are just to run of the mill.
Some of us are low-income, some of us are middle-income people.
But whatever our socioeconomic strata, we derive power.
from dominating other human beings in a sexual way.
Yeah, and it seems like Harvey Weinstein has really,
who, been really making a go of it for, it sounds like 30 years.
Well, like I said, Mr. Williams, it's a drug.
It's an addiction, and that's why I'm here at Sweepie Hall,
I'm, uh, well, we weren't going to say the name of your, your facility, uh, Barney.
Well, it doesn't matter because I have to, I have to come to terms with this.
I have to be real about it. I have to face the world. And I'm never going to, uh, conquer my
sexual addiction if I hide away and, uh, you know, stay in the shadows.
Well, that, that's very, uh, it's very big of you, sir. That's, uh,
That's an honorable statement.
And just so our listeners can kind of get a handle on what sex addiction is, can you kind of walk us through a little bit what it is and how it affects you?
Absolutely.
It's a powerful, almost, as I said, like a drug.
We get fixated on sexual activities.
We get fixated on erotica of pornography,
and we develop a mindset of mental psychology
where the slightest things can arouse us,
turn us from someone who might be sitting in church
to someone who has an enormous,
sexual appetite.
Wow, that's powerful.
And you're saying you can't control this, sir?
These urges?
We cannot control it.
There is serious, and there is lethal as an alcoholic craves liquor.
There is ravenous as a heroin opioid user who craves the needle.
It is strong, strong.
destructive stuff.
Wow, and like, what is an example of this sexual addiction, Barney?
Well, you know, anything can trigger it.
I mean, you know, you might see a ladybug, and I might hear the word lady and think about, you know, a woman's private part,
just by hearing the word lady, I get triggered, and I'll get around.
and then I need to satisfy myself.
Wow, a ladybug?
Oh, it's that simple.
It's that simple.
I mean, I'm looking around my room here,
and let's see, for example, at my pillow slip,
there's a crease in my pillow slip that, you know,
a simple crease in my mind or in the mind of a sex addict
turns from a crease
into looking like a woman's
private parts
and
and
when we see
these types of things
when
imagery
fills our heads
and we get triggered
we get aroused
and then
sir
sir
we
a simple crease
and in a pillow slip
kit
sir
are you all right there
it sounds like the
phone is
a simple crease in a pillow slip
Mr.
Williams can turn us from docile to, pardon my French,
having a raging direction, or having a sexual appetite that cannot be satiated.
Okay, sir, so a crease.
a pillow slip i said a crease and a pillow slip sir if you could just uh when you say that slow it down
just a little bit for me and you could say it uh maybe in a hushed tone uh you know like a whisper i'm sorry sir
creased, pillow slip.
Um, I'm not sure I understand, sir.
Say it slowly and whispered.
Um, okay.
Uh, creased, pillow slap.
Hello? Barney, sir?
Hello, Mr. Williams, yeah, and...
Are you okay, sir? Did you fall or something?
I'm fine, I'm fine. Yes, I slipped off the bed.
But as I was saying, the sexual triggers that exist in the mind of people with our...
affliction, they're out of control. And they dominate our brains. They rule our lives,
and they make our lives a living hell and a pleasured paradise from one second to the next.
Wow. So, for example, let's say you're just, you know, you're going to
about your daily business.
You're walking through an airport.
Okay.
And you see like a woman walk by,
and let's say, a mid-range skirt
just cut to above her knees.
Could you say that again, please?
Sir?
I didn't hear you the phone one.
I think we have a lie.
the line seems a little crackly or something.
Oh, okay, yeah, I thought I was hearing something, too.
I was saying, let's say an average woman walks by
with a regular fitted skirt that comes just above her knees.
Sir?
Yes, above her knees, and does it taper in at,
her waist line, does it taper in and therefore accentuate her buttocks and frame her dairy air
and so that it's tight and you can almost see her butt cheeks sliding around under the fabric?
Sir?
Barney?
Hello.
Yes, I'm here.
I'm here, yes.
And so I'm here at the addiction clinic,
and every day is a struggle, Mr. Williams,
and we fight,
and we try not to have these thoughts that arouse us,
that cause us to,
Act out.
Now, what do you mean act out?
Is this kind of like what Harvey did where he had to get aggressive with women?
He felt the uncontrolled urge to have to touch them, get physical with them?
I'm sorry, touch you, Mr. Williams?
Well, I'm just saying it not like Harvey Weinstein, but just anyone someone with a sexual addiction would want to
place their hands on a woman's breasts, let's say.
Could you say that again, please?
I said putting your hands on a woman's breasts.
Sir?
How do you mean exactly hands on her breasts?
Well, I mean, if a man were to take his hands,
and lift them up and cup a woman's breasts,
and she did not invite him to...
Oh, are you...
Sir?
I'm sorry, I didn't hear.
Did you say cup her breasts on the outside of her garment
or reaching on the inside?
Well, I don't know.
I guess you could cup a breast on the outside of clothing,
but I'm sure there's been many...
the occasion where a sex addict or like yourself would reach inside of the fabric and maybe
stick one's hand under the bra and cup the breast with their bare hands.
Sir, I think this phone line is...
I'd say it again, please.
I didn't, I, I, you, you cut out at one, you said,
Cup, the breast with your bare hand, the bare breast.
Oh, yes, sir, are you there?
Yes, sir.
So, as I was saying, Mr. Williams,
It doesn't take a lot to trigger a sex addict into falling back into his old habits
to getting caught up in his sexual delusions, his fantasies, and his needs and desires.
Well, how long does the average person stay at...
Did you say it was the sleepy willows?
Yes, sir.
We have people that have been here for weeks.
months, and in my case, coming up on almost a year.
Wow, that is a very, that's a long stay, sir.
But I guess I have to ask, is it working?
Are you getting the help that you need?
Well, yes, I think you can tell by this phone call that I'm in, you know, full recovery mode.
And in my mind, I'm probably going to say cured, although my counselors don't like me throwing
that word around, but I feel that I'm pretty much ready to get out of here.
Well, that's congratulations, sir.
I mean, I just, I know you've put in a lot of work.
You put in a lot of time, and it would be nice for you, I'm sure, to get out from beyond those walls
and just get out into the world again, get out for a walk, get to a park, go to a beach.
Pardon me?
You know, just spend the day at a beach.
Yeah, yes.
Which beach?
Well, I don't know, you know, a beach in Miami, a beach in California, a beach in Hawaii.
Yeah, yes.
Just to help me visualize what you're saying, Mr. Williams, who's on the beach?
On the beach?
This beach you speak of, who's on it?
Oh, my goodness, there's people, there's families, there's honeymooners, there's men, there's beautiful women.
Oh, no.
Yes, yes, I think.
These women, what kind of women?
Well, you know, all kinds of women.
Housewives, young professionals, college girls.
Sir, hello?
Yes, college girls, yes.
Like how old when you?
you say, uh, Mr. Williams?
Well, call, you know, college girls, what, 17 to 20 or something?
Uh-huh.
Hello?
Yes, yes, I'm here.
These college girls, uh, I'm guessing they're, uh, they're wearing, uh, you know.
Well, bathing suits, it's a beach, sir.
Yeah, uh, what, uh, what, uh, uh, uh,
What kind of bathing suits?
I mean, since we're talking about it, you know.
I don't know.
A nice, you know, college girls love bikinis, right?
Sir, hello.
I don't know.
Are you in the mountains or something?
Because this phone line is just really crackly.
And these bikinis, are we talking onesies or a, you know, a bikini bottom?
You know what?
I like a thong myself.
Hello, sir.
Hello?
Bobby?
Barney?
Oh my God.
Roger?
Is he?
Did he hang up?
Wow.
Okay.
Uh, yikes.
My apologies, I think we had a bad phone line there.
I think a lot of these clinics are nestled up in the mountains or the hills
or they're usually in some place surrounded by nature.
So I think I could hear like a babbling brook in the background
or crickets chirping or something was, I hope the phone call was audible to everyone.
You know, sometimes you just can't get a clean phone line
when you're calling into kind of remote places.
So, but an interesting call.
Wouldn't want to deal with what that guy's dealing with.
Sounds like it's hard.
Sounds like he, from what he said, he's conquered it,
and it sounds like he's ready to get back out into the world.
And, you know, join regular society again any day.
So congratulations to Barney Brown.
That was a great call.
Very inspiring and nice to see that this stuff can be cured.
And as we know, Harvey Weinstein said he's entering one of these clinics
And I'm sure he'll be clean as a whistle
And cured of all his sexual deviancy and perversions
You know, in a couple of weeks or a couple of months
And he can blend right back in with everyone else.
Great.
And I think we'll leave the show on that positive note.
Oh, that's really good.
So let's see.
Let's do some announcement, shall we?
Yes, yes, yes.
Let's talk about something funny and not so serious, like sex addiction.
But let's talk about stand-up comedy.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
This weekend, starting tonight, October 12, Thursday, October 12th,
