One Keith Burger with everything coming up.
You just made a wrong turn.
On to the Harland Highway.
Look at me, Damien. It's all for you.

Hussed you very.
Hey, it's Harland Williams with you on the Harland Highway
Vee Gates.
Uh, Vigates is German for,
how are you, I think.
My German's not that great.
Not an easy language.
I went on Yahoo, Deutsche Land.
On the internet.
Yeah, you can go on Yahoo and pick up any language in the world.
And I was on Yahoo, Deutschland.
And I realize that there are other countries and other worlds and other people and other cultures out there outside of the U.S. of A.
And I thought, you know what, why not inform you of their world?
They've got lives, they've got cultural events, they've got things going on.
So I'm going to read you a little story off the internet from Deutschland.
And there's a picture of a cow beside the story, so I'm guessing the story's about a cow.
So here we go. Hope your Germans up to snuff.

A-F-P.
All right, I got London.
I think I picked up London.
I got one word.
Did you hear that?
London?
I think that's a country
over just north of Germany
I think they were referring to the UK
but the rest of it
I don't know man
I got the flesh and the milch
which is flesh and milk
but the rest of it you're on your own
I hope that story had some meaning for you
all is clear
that's good
Wie gets
Good night
That's on the Holland Highway
That's all I got
Hey wish I had more
But that's all I've got
My friends
Um
But here's something that I do got
I got dear
Okay
This is almost unbelievable
Okay
Let me put it to this way
It's nighttime for me
I'm doing this podcast
late at night i'm pre-recording this one a little bit because i have to go out of town um so i got home
from dinner with a friend okay it is now 11 10 p.m i got home at about uh maybe 15 minutes ago
5 to uh 11 okay i pull up in my truck and i'm you know this is in uh hollywood
Okay, up in the Hollywood Hills, and I get out of my truck, I pull my front door open,
I walk up the steps to my yard, and standing there directly in front of me, okay, silhouetted in the dark,
I see a set of antlers, and the body of a deer pointed right at me, the ears sticking up,
And this thing's just frozen.
You know, normally when I see a deer up here,
and remember, we're in the middle of Hollywood.
This is a full-grown deer with a rack on its head.
Normally they just take off.
This one just stood its ground and stared at me.
And I'm like, wait a minute.
What's this?
Am I in a showdown here?
Is this a test of the wills?
Am I going to try and stare down a wild buck?
And I got to tell you for a minute there, it got a little tense because I kept thinking about there's that famous video of when animals attack where there's this one idiot hunter out in the field.
And I think you've all seen it.
A deer gets up on two back legs.
And with its front legs, just starts pawing the crap out of this hunter.
Just slapping them around like a bag of oatmeal at a chili dog festival, whatever that means.
and I'm like, wait a minute, this is, this is a little weird, this is tense.
I felt like I was in the middle of the street at the okay corral and who's going to draw first.
And so I did, I was like, I pulled out my iPhone, man.
And what I did is I filmed the damn deer.
I filmed the damn deer and I thought, you know what, if this guy charges me, if this guy comes at me,
You know, at the very least, I'm going to have the, I'm going to record my death here.
It was a little tense, I have to say.
So I'm pulling out my iPhone right now, and I'm looking at the footage.
And I've got a little bit of its, remember, it's pitch black up here.
All I can see, the deer finally turns sideways and walks away, and I got, I got like a few seconds of his sill.
but it was a little tense and interesting and scary and it seems more and more i'm i'm a confronting
deer on my front lawn in the middle of hollywood what the hell is this i mean i i can picture
like a uh you know like a drunk celebrity wandering across my lawn you know like alec baldman's like
what are you looking at well uh you're on my property mr baldwin ah shut up you pig um that's inappropriate
sir ah i'm gonna charge you with my antlers um so anyways i'm gonna keep reporting the deer
you know i told you a couple of weeks ago i woke up in the morning and there was a baby
deer and its mother bouncing around on my lawn, and now I come home in the middle of the night
and I have a standoff with a buck with a rack of antlers?
I don't like hunting, but I'm thinking maybe I should build a hunting lodge on the corner of my
property.
I mean, I've worked up north as a forest ranger and not seen this many deer.
In northern Canada, this is insane.
so I thought you know what I got to I got to get on the jump on the old podcast get on the
harland highway and report to you guys events as they fold live this is like a live report
I wanted you to feel the energy feel the excitement maybe hear my heart beating and uh there
you go how many of you walk home in a major city okay keep in mind a
11 million people in Los Angeles, and I'm right in the thick of it.
Is anyone in Chicago or Detroit or New York City, Manhattan?
Anyone in Miami?
Anyone in Houston, Texas?
Anybody up in Washington, D.C. or Seattle, Washington?
Anybody walking in their front door tonight and standing toe to toe with a buck?
I don't think so.
In fact, I wonder if anyone, you know how they say, okay, every second someone dies, every second somebody has an orgasm, every second somebody is born.
You know that thing?
It's like, if you think right now somebody's being born, maybe 10,000 people are being born, or if you think right now somebody was just murdered, or 25,000 cars were stolen across America right now.
I'm willing to bet that right now or in that moment that I walked in my front door
and stood face to face with a deer in a major city,
I'm willing to bet that that happened to nobody else in the United States of America
in a major city, walked in their front door and faced a rack of antlers
and some glowing eyes.
So something's going on here, man.
I'm turning, I'm going to start putting up.
Deer crossing signs and who knows what else.
Maybe I'll put one of those blinds up, you know?
The guys build the deer stands in the forest and I'll hide up there and take pictures.
I'm going to get one of those cameras that are triggered by a movement.
Start taking pictures of these critters.
So there you go.
That's my dear story.
And dear God, I hope I don't get attacked any time.
soon if you don't hear from me in the next few days if you're going where's the harland highway
well just uh look in the hollywood hills for a deer with a cheesy old navy uh random blue shirt
stuck in its antlers that'll be the one that got me thank you very much
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon.
I'm Charles Parsley here at the Harland Highway Celebrity Racetrack.

Ron Jeremy Pornstar and Roger Clement.
Major League pitcher under indictment for apparently using steroids.
And there they go, there they go.
The gates are open and the celebrities are running.
They're gallivanting down the track at full speed.
No one wasting any time getting out of the game.
Here they go coming around the first turn.
Taylor Lottner out in the lead.
His spiky hair seeming to cause a cut into the wind,
giving up that perfect aerodynamic graft that he needs.
And here comes Ron Jeremy, porno star.
He's flying around the corner as fast as he can, his chubby little legs and his hairy chest flapping in the wind.
Here comes Roger Clemens, Roger Clemens coming him from behind.
Roger Clemens in behind, but he pulls out a syringe.
Roger Clemens pulls out a syringe and stabs it into his buttocks.
Roger Clemens is bursting down the lane.
He's just passed Catherine Buckman, Catherine Buckman, whose eyes are crossing.
Her eyes are crossing in her face, and she's starting to twirl around in circles.
she's got crossed eyes and now she's running backwards down the track going the other direction
and taylor london now slowing down a little as ron jeremy catches up but wait a minute
ron jeremy's pants are slipping ron jeremy's pants have fallen down ron jeremy running down the track
nothing on his lower bottom his extremities flapping in the wind his own penis smacking him in the face
and he oh he's just whipped taylor londner in the head tail of london getting slow
slapped in the face by Ron Jeremy's
phallis and it looks like
Taylor Londa's spiked hair is cut
Ron Jeremy's penis off
and it's laying on the track
Catherine Bachman with her crossed eyes
picks it up she doesn't know what it is
she's tripped over it she picks it
up and her eyes become uncrossed
a huge smile on her face
Roger Clemens still coming in from behind
he stabs seven eight nine more needles into his bottom
he shoots forward like a rocket ship
Roger Clemens coming down to the line, Catherine Bachman,
Google-eyed over Rod Jeremy's penis.
Here comes Taylor Langer Rod Jeremy.
Roger Clemens shoves another needle in his ass,
and he takes off like he's just ejecting nights as it's Roger Clemens.

as Catherine Bachman twirls in circles cross-eyed with Ron Jeremy's penis.
This is Charles Parsley, another wonderful day

Thank you for joining us, and we'll see you next time as Roger Clemens goes into the winner's circle.
Wow, exciting, exciting race.
Thank you to Charles Parsley.
Brilliant calls on those celebrity races.
Wow, Catherine Bachman, with her eyes all crossed up.
And speaking of crossed up, have you ever crossed up with a psycho?
by accident, by a stalker.
Have you ever had an accidental stalker?
Well, let me tell you where it's happened to you
and you might not even realize it,
but now you're going to pay attention to it
because it's creepy and it's weird and it's annoying.
Okay, you're doing the groceries, right?
You're at a big supermarket
and you're going up the aisle with your shopping cart
and all of a sudden there's that one person kind of in the way
who doesn't really get the etiquette and they've got their shopping card
and they've stopped to look at bottles and boxes
and instead of pulling their cart to the side
they kind of left it jutting out and you've got to either ask them to move it
or you've got to squeeze by or you've got to bump it a little

Don't throw your back out.
And you kind of take notice of them.
You go, look at this guy in the purple
track suit and he's a little
overweight and
he's not a real
shopper. Who leaves their cart
hanging out on the edge and creates an
obstacle? Oh, brother. Let me get
around this guy right and you get around them and you're a little annoyed but you let it go
and then you go into the other aisle and you start walking up and you get about a quarter of the way
up it and all of a sudden guess who rounds the corner at the top end of the aisle it's him it's the
guy in the purple track suit he's he's back he's back and now you're heading towards each other
and right away your blood pressure goes up a bit you're like oh good well how did he get over into this alley here
what's he doing okay i'm sure he'll be fine i'll just walk by and be i won't ever see him again in my life
and sure enough you get close and all of a sudden he bends down to look at the soup on the lower shelf
and his little shopping cart rolls right across and all of a sudden you're like
tapping your fingers on your handle of your shopping card okay buddy move you're blocking
and then you got to excuse me oh sorry i move sorry i move yes you're like okay there's that guy again
do i have to deal with this guy twice and so you burn over into the next dial and you're like
great i didn't see them and then you get into the next dial after that and you're like good
He's gone.
He's way back there.
He's still bent down, looking for the soup.
And you move over to the third aisle, and boom.
There he is.
But not only is he coming down, he's already in the aisle.
Like he's been there for a minute or two, and you're like, wait a minute.
Well, I was in aisle three looking at cereal.
Did he skip two aisles and go over to aisle six where the hot chocolates and the teas and the coffees are?
and suddenly there he is again.
That guy, that uninvited stalker,
that menace to shopping society.
And of course he's blocking you
and you've got to deak around him
and now you're like, oh God, come on!
Why do I keep bumping into this idiot?
And then all of a sudden you kind of squeak by him
and you think, okay, I'm going to speed up the gas
and get away from him,
Lo and behold, he's on the move too.
And now he's like right beside you.
And suddenly it's like, wait a minute,
how did he get beside me?
And it's like one of those scenes out of those race car movies
where, you know, they're neck and neck coming up on the checkered flag
and they're kind of inching back and forth.
So you take the corner and you go around the eggs and the butter
and you try to come in at the detergent and paper towel alley.
And he kind of gets the inside laying.
and cut you off and maybe bumped you and you're like come on go go away i didn't come
how is it possible that you're staying with me why are you and every and so you just get flustered
you know what i'm going all the way to the other side to the fruits of vegetable aisle
you get over there and you start to settle down and all of a sudden what do you see out of the
corner there he is the guy in the purple track suit and what's really really you're going to
funny about all this. He doesn't
give a crap. He doesn't even know you exist.
It's all in your
head. He just
don't his shop and just like you, he just
happens to be needing similar things.
He happens to be rolling down
the aisles innocently.
And yes, maybe his shopping card
etiquette isn't that good, but he's not
stocking you, he's not following you, but
this is certainly the story you've created.
This is certainly the
story you're going to tell the police.
This is certainly the
story you're going to tell the police when you lead them to his house because you followed him
home and you tell the police he's got bodies buried in his basement and they come and rip his
house apart and all they find out is that he's a Latvian volleyball coach over at Fremont
High School but that's the price you pay when you get an involuntary shopping cart stalker
What am I thinking?
I'm doing an impression of Jerry Seinfeld.
What am I thinking?
Captain's log, start eight, five, seven, two.
I'm doing an impression of Captain James D. Kirk.
Yeah, impressions.
Okay, I didn't say I could do them
I tried
Seems like everyone does an impression of somebody pretty good
You know
And that's what I want to hear from you people about
I want you to call me
I want you to call my answering machine
And give me the best impression you have
But it's got to be someone famous
I don't want an impression of your father
I don't want an impression of your buddy at school
It's got to be a recognizable person
a politician, a sports figure, some kind of celebrity, an actor, a singer, whoever, even a cartoon voice.
Call my answering machine and give it your best shot.
If I like what I hear, I'll put it on the air.
You can have some bragging rights with your friends that you and your famous impression made it onto the Harland Highway.
So call me! What are you thinking?
Call me and do your best impression.
All right, see, you can do better than that.
That was my attempt at Seinfeld.
So if I can do that lame-ass one, you can do one.
I want to hear them.
Your best impressions.
And just in case you forgot the number, 888-52090 is where you call to do your incredible impression.
So here it is again, 888-500-2090.
can't wait to see who calls in and even if they're kind of there don't feel like you have to be perfect
if they're halfway there if they're middle way there if they're three-quarters way there if they're immaculate we want to hear
if not your impression your attempt hopefully it's close but uh we'll have to see and uh if we like it we'll put it up
on the Harland Highway podcast.
Your impressions, 888, 500, 2090.
Oh, my God, I got in a terrible crash yesterday.
Yes, yours truly, Harlan Williams, here on the Harland Highway,
had a major crash.
Hopefully no one was heard I fell asleep.
Okay, let me explain.
When I say crash, I don't mean in a car.
I mean, I had a food crash.
And I don't mean I rammed my shopping card into some people over an aisle 7 and the frozen vegetables.
I mean, you ever do that thing where it's lunchtime and you munch out,
you have a big mac or a big bowl of macaroni and cheese or a sandwich.
And you're okay for like the first 20 minutes.
And then all of a sudden, it's like someone gave you some sleeping pills, man.
you just your body starts to crash you have a food crash
I don't know if it's all the sugar in the food
or the protein or the enzymes or the
I don't know what the hell's in our food
all I know it's called food I eat it
but man when you crash you just
oh my it's like someone shot an arrow in your back
you were just walking along full of energy
and then fom
Your chest caves in, your shoulders slump.
You can't hold your head up.
Your arms are dangling like caveman arms.
Your legs won't move.
You feel like you got concrete boots on.
And your eyelids feel like they're made out of lead, right?
You just can't keep them all.
There's a train coming right out of me.
Oh, whatever.
All you want to do.
do is just drop and go into a coma.
I'm never going to eat again, man.
Oh, my God.
I'm so tired.
Oh, and you're sitting at your desk trying to work,
or you're trying to drive, or you're trying to do something,
and your whole body's fighting you.
It's crashing.
And you can't stop the crash.
So finally, you give in, you succumb to it.
And you crash.
You go into a day, you go into a sleep.
Suddenly you're asleep.
Everything's dark and you're dreaming.
And you don't know how long you've been out for.
And you wake up 10 minutes later, three minutes later, an hour later.
And the crash is over.
You're rejuvenated.
and you're ready for something to eat
hey man I feel fresh as a daisy
my food crashes over and I'm hungry
let's go get a big Mac
oh no
oh yeah we love to eat
don't we
and you know what constantly
surprised me that to me kind of flies
under the radar a lot right
and of course
they're just humans so this is
natural but here's where it gets me that women eat a lot you know because i always think of women
as a dainty and beautiful and kind of not the same way as men like i just think you know men like to
eat you know men pull in for a burger men pull in for a big mac men eat a cob of corn at the
barbecue they eat seven cobs of corn and i always just picture women oh i'll have a little
give me a little piece or can I have a taste or I'm just going to have the little salad and some
sparkling water and but then you know every now and then I realize women are human machines just
like men are human machines and I'll peel away all the femininity and and all the gender issues and
I'll realize that that car in front of me it's a couple of hot girls ordering a
you know, quarter-pounders with cheese and fries and Big Macs and chocolate shakes
at the drive-thru, just the way all the men do.
And they're wolfing it down and stuffing it down.
And when you go to the barbecue, it's like, anyone want a third hot dog?
Yeah, I will.
Actually, this will be my fifth, not my third.
Is that okay?
Sure.
And, you know, I kind of forget that women just pounded in,
that they love to eat
and they have to eat
just like men do
but for some reason I
I guess I always think of them
as having this veil over them
where they don't eat much
you know
but they do man
they just stuff it in
and every now and then you meet a girl
you meet a girl
and it's always weird when it's a good looking
girl like a hot girl
and you're out with them
and they say it they say it out of you
go
man, I just love to eat. Oh, I love food. Oh, God, I love to eat. Oh, God. Someone throw a pie in my mouth right now.
And so, you know, I don't know what I'm saying with this. I'm just saying it's weird. It's weird. It's weird if you just took a, if you took a woman and dressed her as a man and put a fake mustache on her and put a man wig on her.
Are she just like, you'd see it.
You know what I mean?
I guess what I'm saying is the fact that they're beautiful,
that they're a woman,
or maybe they're supposed to be daintier or eat less,
that you don't really calculate,
you don't really realize that they're eating so much.
And I'm not saying, oh, women are getting fat.
I'm just talking about the consumption of food.
It's kind of like, you know, maybe when you have an air conditioner on
in your house you you know the house is nice and cool but you don't realize how much cold air
is leaking through all the cracks in your windows and under your doors you're just kind of blind
to it all you can appreciate is the cool air and so uh with women i guess maybe it's just me
i don't know if it's with with any other guys but you kind of forget that they just shovel it in
the way we do you know i mean think about it before there were fancy dresses
and high-heel shoes and makeup and societal etiquette and rules.
I mean, go back to the cavemen days.
You think a woman caveman didn't throw herself on the ribs of a, you know, a giant sloth?
The way the men did, it was probably you ever see lions feeding, right?
On the nature shows, the females are in there just with the men's like blood all over their face.
consume, feed, munch, crunch.
So cave women probably just went berserk, right?
They probably just shovel it in.
It's about survival.
So anyways, I guess me being, you know, I appreciate beautiful women.
I appreciate women.
And so I guess they fly under the radar a bit when it comes.
comes to eating, but every now and then I get reminded. I catch myself. I see him shoveling it in
and it's just one big human buffet. And speaking of buffets, this is not an all-you-can-eat-buffet. This
buffet or buffet or Jimmy Buffett, whatever you want to call it, this buffet comes to an end.
It's not all you can eat. And this podcast, no one of the...
the Harlan Highway comes to an end
and that sadly is
right now.
So
thanks for being here. What a treat.
What a tasty treat
for being at the Harlan Highway
buffet.
And let me tell you about some
upcoming shows for the kid.
Okay?
