Well, shiver me timbers and call me Uncle Bert.
Uh, no meaning, but, uh, you know, isn't that how we always start? No meaning.
Um, welcome everybody. Great to have you here, my friends.
The pavement pounders here on the Harland Highway, internationally renowned podcast.
Um, happy New Year. I know it's a little, uh, deep into the month, but, uh, still.
We're just kind of getting going.
And what a show we have for you today.
And although you can hear my mouth talking, my hands are moving and my arms are moving.
And we're going to talk about why our hands and our arms feel the need to talk with us.
How about dog breath?
I don't mean you.
I mean your dog.
We are going to talk about clean dog breath.
But here's something about you, your nose hairs.
Oh, yeah.
There's a deep, dark-rooted secret.
to nose hairs that is going to benefit all you gentlemen out there.
Wait till you hear this little secret I reveal.
And celebrities doing TV and radio commercials.
How about it?
Do you like it?
Do you hate it?
We're going to discuss.
And then Dutch ovens.
Oh, have you ever had a Dutch oven?
Enough to end a marriage, in my opinion.
We'll discuss.
And then lastly, somebody's dropping by that I don't like.
You'll find out, stay here on the heart.
Harland Highway!
Welcome to the Harland Highway.
Relax. Get ready to have fun.
What we've got here is failure to communicate.
One cheeseburger with everything coming up.
You just made a wrong turn.
On to the Harland Highway.
Look at me, Damien. It's all for you.
This is Harland Williams.
I'm a human being. God damn it.
Harland Williams here with you on the Harland Highway.
Are you dating? Are you married? Are you living with someone?
Here's a little trick for you guys, man, huh?
When you get in trouble with the girls.
Sometimes you'll come home late or you won't do something they asked you to do.
And you're busted.
And you'll try and lie. And they'll figure you out, man.
They figure you out. Are you kidding me?
They can read you.
like an old Dr. Seuss book,
you little liar.
But here's a little trick
you can pull when the lies and the schemes
don't work and the lame-aff's
excuses. The trick
to get a girl to give you a little
sympathy guys is you got to cry.
Oh, if you can shed the waterworks,
if you can produce a tear,
they'll just, it's like going to court
and having them get rid of a ticket for you.
They give you a free pass, but we don't know
how to cry. We're guys.
The only thing we can do to cry is like slam our heads in the car door
or watch someone tear up our hockey cards or something.
But if you need instant tears, you're in the middle of a fight.
Pretend to get mad and go.
I got to step out of the room for a second.
Okay, this is getting too heated.
I got to step out of the room for a second.
Go into the bathroom, grab some tweezers,
and grab a handful of nose hairs.
Ah, just get those tweezers
Right up your nose
And rip them out
Your eyes will start to water
So quickly
Instant tears
Plucked nose hairs
Equal instant tears
Run back out into the living room
She starts up
And furthermore
You were late
And then she sees the water
The tears she's like
Baby, are you crying?
And you're like
Yeah
Yeah, I'm really upset
that we're fighting oh no baby don't cry i'm sorry i'm sorry so you're not mad at me that i was at hooters till
three in the morning oh no baby no oh don't cry baby i'm so sorry did i do that and it's okay that
the waitress from hooters is still in our bed and she can spend at least one more night oh yeah baby yeah
you some chocolate brownies and do you want a full body massage while you're making love to the Hooters
girl okay I guess so I guess that'll help it'll be a start maybe we could do it all week
oh yeah baby just don't cry and it's all good till she goes into the bathroom and you're the idiot
you forgot to hide the evidence there's a pair of tweezers on the counter with
nose hairs in them and she comes in and pulls you off of that hooter's waitress so fast you don't know
what happened now you're really crying because you got her foot up your hello yeah well speaking of
our bodies and things our bodies do um can someone tell me why when we talk
our arms talk with us and our hands feel the need to join in.
I don't see a mouth on my hands.
I don't see a mouth on my arms.
So why is it when people talk,
their damn arms and hands have to get in on it?
You know what I'm talking about?
Like, yes, I went over to the thing,
and I saw Janice, and we went into the store,
and all through your conversation,
your arms and hands are animated,
like you're talking to a deaf person, right?
It's almost like you're putting on a mime show.
Next time you're sitting with a buddy,
or even if you're on the phone to someone,
talking, I bet you catch yourself with your arms moving.
Even talking on the phone.
Or if you're out at Starbucks with a friend, just watch them.
Watch their arms and their hands moving around.
And it's weird.
It's like, why do we need to do that, you know?
Other critters don't do that.
You don't see a cow mooing, right?
He's like, ma-and he gets up on his hind legs and starts waving his hoofs around.
Me, me, me, me, his udders don't start flapping around.
But we do it.
And some people really do it.
I mean, some people, it's like you ever see those nature shows where the baby birds, you know,
they've got these big clusters of birds on the side of a cliff or out in the middle of the Antarctic,
all the birds like huddled together and nest in one giant area.
And you see the little babies.
They're actually not that little, but the baby birds are like standing on the edge of the cliff,
or they're standing on the nest, or they're standing on the nest,
or they're standing on the tree
and they haven't really learned to fly yet
but they're starting to flap their wings
and you see them go up in the air about two feet
and they land and they're still flat
you know while I was saying that
I just caught myself
I was actually flapping my arms
okay
if that doesn't prove the point
I looked down and I realize
as I'm talking about this
I'm actually flapping my arms
like a little bird trying to lift off
there you go i just proved my point why do we do that why can't our arms and hands shut the hell up
why do they got to get our legs don't get in on it you know you don't sit at starbucks and all
a sudden you crank your legs up and your legs are kicking around and your feet are twirling around
in circles your ears don't start flapping so hands and arms mind your own beeswax
man next time you're watching a debate a political debate or someone on a talk show watch
watch their arms and hands moving around and then imagine them like not talking okay if you could
mute them and just watch their arms and hands you wouldn't know what the hell their arms and
hands are saying so chill out arms and hands wait a minute now my my hands moving again what's it
doing? Okay, two middle fingers. All right, fine, fine. Be that way, loud mouth. There's two more middle
fingers. Okay, well, as I just said well, I put my arm, my left arm up in the air, I'm not kidding.
What does well and my arm going up in the air have to do with anything? I don't know. Now I'm sitting here
consciously, conscientiously, not moving my arms and hands.
And it feels weird.
I'm aware that I'm suppressing their movement.
And it feels weird.
I feel stiff.
I feel uncomfortable.
I might have to let them loose.
But you'll never know it.
But I will.
There's the middle finger again.
God!
Anybody here have a little dog, a cute dog, or a big dog, a sled dog, a toy dog.
kind of dog. There is a product out there for dogs that we do not need. See if you're on board
with me with this one, people, find citizens of radio world. I was in the pet store the other day.
There was a doggy bone treat, a milkbone or other various brands of dog treats. And I'm not
kidding, this thing was advertising that it put mint in the dog.
dog bone, the chewable, edible dog bone, so that your dog could have minty fresh breath.
Like as if, you know, your dog's going to a function somewhere, a black tie affair.
I say, you look dashing tonight, Rovo. What is that outfit you're wearing?
Oh, I say, just smashing at your breath.
Oh, if I wasn't an English diplomat, I'd bend you.
over and start making out with you, old boy.
Yes, that's right, right here in front of everybody.
I don't care, I'll do it.
You just smell delicious.
I mean, come on, people.
We're talking about giving breath protection to a creature that wipes its butt with its mouth.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I don't mean to be graphic.
I don't mean to be rude.
It's a fact of life.
Dogs and cats.
Wipe their butts with their tongues.
You could shove a big gulp of listering down that dog's throat.
I don't care.
You wipe your butt with your tongue.
You're going to have butt mouth for at least a couple of days.
Don't calm me with your minty fresh dog treats.
All dogs have butt mouth.
And that's why we love to have our dogs lick our little face.
good dog good dog yeah lick my face with that butt mouth um and uh let me ask you this is a celebrity a dog
you know not a dog dog dog but kind of a hound kind of a low life crawling dog if they do commercials
that every friggin' actor
is now doing commercials.
I mean, Ashton Coutcher's doing the camera commercials.
Robert Downey Jr. is doing, like,
you know, voices for the Planters Peanut Guy.
You know, the Kardashians are doing commercials.
You know, everyone's doing a voiceover.
Everyone's showing up in commercials.
It's crazy.
I remember there was a time when when you did a commercial and it was taboo if you're a
celeb that was just like saying hey you know what my career's over man my career's over
give me that diary a commercial I got nothing going on give me that diary a commercial
I'll take it right and there's a lot of a lot of celebrities doing commercials a lot of the
women doing commercials for um hair products
and you know J-Lo does one for some stupid little car
that I'm sure she would never drive in her life
it looks like a smart car
right she's jumping around and dancing and everything
trying to distract you from looking at the actual product
it's like hey look at me wiggle my moneymaker
but try not to look at the car I'm trying to sell you
it's not very attractive
right and uh the women are doing the
fragrance commercials. Nicole Kidman, Chanel number five.
Maybe she could get some kind of lotion to bring her eyes closer together. Hello.
And, you know, it used to be a time on a celebrity.
They would only do commercials if they played in, you know, non-American markets.
You know, like Jennifer Aniston and people like that.
They used to, yeah, you can play my.
commercial in Japan you can play it in greenland you can play it in australia you can play it in
paris or uh the philippines or easter island but don't play it here in the u s of a which is weird
because you know that's probably where you can make a lot of money national commercial
running all year that's some good sweet money right there but with these celebs they probably get uh
you know, they probably get a few million right up front anyhow.
But my point is it's getting less and less taboo,
and it's almost to the point where every celebrity is doing a commercial.
Am I doing a commercial?
Maybe.
Maybe you're going to see something in the near future with yours truly.
I don't know.
Is that a hint?
Maybe.
I don't know.
Why would I stoop so low?
Maybe I would.
But if there was a commercial that was cool and I liked it or it was worth, no, I shouldn't say that.
I was going to say or if it was worth a few million dollars, I'd do it.
But, you know, that's a dilemma.
Put yourself in a celebrity shoes.
Okay?
You know, you could make a half a million dollars, a million dollars doing a movie that takes four months.
And then some guy from Pepsi or Pepto-Bismol.
or X-Lax or McDonald's walks up,
she and says, hey, how would you like to make 4 or 5 mil
for a 30-second commercial or a one-minute commercial?
And you're like, well, I'm shooting a movie for 500,000
over in Alaska for four months.
Oh, okay, yay.
You do the math, buddy.
Wait a minute, come back.
I love McDonald's.
Come back, come back.
So it's weird.
It's hard.
But is it a good thing or a bad thing that celebs are doing commercials?
Does it diminish their star power?
Does it make them seem too ordinary, too regular?
Does it take anything off of your like for them?
Big question here.
Give me a call 888-52090 and let me know what you think of celebrities doing commercial.
At planners, we know how to throw a remarkable holiday party, just serve classy snacks, and be a gracious host, no matter who shows out.
Richard, didn't think you were going to make it.
Hey, sorry about last week. I don't know what got into me.
Yeah, well, forgive and forget, kind of.
I don't think so.
Do you like nuts?
Do you so-and-so take so-and-so to be your lawful wedded wife?
I do. Yes, absolutely. She looks delicious.
And do you so-and-so take so-and-so to be a lawful wedded husband?
Yes, I absolutely do. He looks fantastilish.
Oh, marriage. Marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, and then, for some of us, divorce, divorce, divorce.
Oh, there's so many reasons to get married, but it seems like there's so many reasons to get divorced.
I think there's only one real reason to get divorced, and I learned this from a buddy of mine.
My buddy does a thing to his wife at night when they're in bed and turn your radio off if you're faint of heart.
But he does a little thing, and I don't know if it really comes from the Netherlands or not, but he calls it a Dutch oven.
okay
for those of you that don't know what a Dutch oven is
it's not a guy in a chef's costume
and wooden clogs baking pies
a Dutch oven is when you're laying in bed
with your loved one
and you're just about to turn out the lights
and the man
farts
under the sheets
under the down
he lets one rip
and then
Because he loves you so much, he's just so goo-go-go-gag-a-over you.
He pulls the covers up over your head, encasing you in his gases.
You're basically at that point in a bamboo steamer.
All the nutrients will be cooked out of your body,
and you will eventually pass out in his nauseous, obnoxious gases.
And my buddy told me about this, so I confronted his wife, and she just giggled.
She's like, oh, yeah, he does the Dutch oven to me.
It's his little way of show, and he loves me.
He gives me the old Dutchie at night.
I'm like, are you insane?
If ever there was grounds for divorce, it's right there.
I'd be out the door.
You could cheat on me.
You could spend all my money.
But you dutch of me, boy,
Oh, it's over.
That is disgusting.
I'm going to divorce my friend and his wife
just because they do it to each other.
I know that's not even really anything legal,
but I'm divorcing them because they make me sick.
Keep your head above the covers, people,
where the air is clean on the Harland Highway.
Okay, well, let's get down to the last story.

All right, well, let's get to some real good news here.
We are back up on Stitcher Radio.
Okay, there was a bit of a miscommunication between the folks at Stitcher
and the Powers the Bee here at the Harland Highway.
And everything's sorted out,
and I'm happy to announce back up on Stitcher.
And even if you don't listen on Stitcher,
maybe you just download and listen through your computer,
your MP player, or whatever,
remember that Stitcher is a app for your phone.
And, you know, if you don't happen to have your other apparatus with you,
you always have your cell phone.
So even if you've already got the Harlan Highway downloaded somewhere else,
go to Stitcher, I believe it's free, and you can download the highway to your phone
and listen wherever you may be while you're driving, while you're walking,
while you're talking to your mother on the phone,
just play the Harlan Highway so it drowns out your mother.
I know, that's mean, but that's the way it is, man.
So that's exciting.
And don't forget, coming up on January 26th through the 29th,
yours truly, will be in West Palm Beach.
And that's tonight.
My first show is tonight at the West Palm Beach Improv in Florida.
It's going to be a great time.
And it's going to be a double show.
It's going to be stand-up.
And then after the stand-ups over, we're going to throw in some improv comedy, some sketch comedy.
So it's kind of like a double show for the price of one.
I'm going to be doing some sketch comedy with my opening act, Sean Tweedley.
And we have a riot doing that.
So taking suggestions from the crowd and acting out little scenes and you never know quite what's going to happen.
So get your tickets online at improv.com.
or, you know, do whatever you got to do, but make sure you're there.
We always have a great time in West Palm Beach, Florida, at the improv.
This Thursday through Sunday, the 26th to the 29th,
don't forget to check out our store at Harlan Williams.com
because that's where we have all the goodies
and we've lowered the prices on everything drastically
so that you can start to help.

economy and
