Oh, hello there everybody. This is Harlan Williams, your host from the Harlan Highway

podcast and guess what? Today is not a Harlan Highway episode. This is a bonus podcast that I want to turn you guys on to.

And it's either in your wheelhouse or it's not but I thought I'd kind of stick it in here and let you guys get exposed to it and see if you like it and see if you don't like it and if you like it you can tell your friends and if you don't like it you can

tell your friends and if you don't like it you can shut your mouth. No I didn didn't mean that. That was aggressive. So what it is, it's a weird

story. I was doing a show in Kansas and I was doing some stand-up and I had an afternoon off and I went to the local movie theater

And I'm sitting there waiting for the movie to start and these two ladies were sitting a few seats over and they were probably you know in their late 30s early 40s and they were just

chatting away chatting up a storm talking about the movies and going on about actors and plot lines and scenes and they were

talking real loud and I could hear every word and I started laughing because these two unassuming ladies

really looked more like regular old housewives or working girls or you know just

regular old folks from from a smaller city in the middle of the country and I was really surprised

amused and taken aback by their passion for movies and all the aspects of the movies and and I started eavesdropping on their conversation and it was cracking me up and I thought there was a real sweetness and a real charm and a real innocence to

to their approach to movies their dialogue was was really funny to me and refreshing.

You know, I live in Hollywood and you hear a lot of hoidy-toidy, pretentious, smarmy, babble.

And here was just these two wonderful women

who are really who movies are designed for, just regular folks all over the world, all over the

country.

So I'm listening on these two ladies, Donna and Julie, and I listened until the movie started and then I couldn't get them out of my head so after the movie I saw

them downstairs in the lobby and then I saw them wander outside and I walked over to

them and I said hey girls I'm Harlan Williams

Blah blah blah. I'd like to introduce myself and and then I started asking if they knew anything about the world of podcasting.

And they were like, what?

What?
