The podcast starts with a callout. Josh Nichols of the Self Indulgent podcast has been liberally accusing The Eagle of not being funny. I therefore offered to him a "who's funnier challenge." I envision it as a show featuring a showcase of improv and stand-up comedy, which the audience would vote who's funnier.
Then Eric's roommate Jody Barton again joins the podcast. Eric discusses the German Spotlight story that didn't work at Flappers. Eric caught his friends dad watching scramble porn in a window, while playing German Spotlight. After hiding behind a bush.
We teach about Spray-painted grills can cause false positives on AIDS tests.
And we talk about Jody's recent run-in with someone who claimed to be in the Van Nuys gang.
We start leaking information about the upcoming feature, Theater of the Deranged II. It's a short film anthology. Eric is hosting the shorts in the movie as Damien Shadows, and Jody Barton is in one of the shorts.
Fan favorite, Stephen Ji joins the show. He talks about his days going from being a bear scout all the way up to an Eagle scout. Stephen explains cooking in tin foil is the main trick you learn as a bear scout. This technique is actually about 85% of the curriculum.
Stephen also explains that good parents make good boy scouts. We talk Catholisism, and Eric corrects the record involving priests he's encountered. When you're on mushrooms, you can become "The Dean." That's how we drop knowledge on Highway Diary. Become a doctor of street smarts, by listening to my podcast.
Stephen and Eric reveal obsessive thinking, possibly due to brain growing pains.

This episode features the lovely and talented Heidi Lux-Gillion (sometimes just Heidi Lux). She's there to promote her appearance on Damien Shadows PI.
The podcast starts with a discussion of taking a husbands name, and where to get pedigree royal blood. To birth a non-retarded kid.
It doesn't take long for Heidi to start dropping some heavy NYU credentials. And how we met at UCB Lv 1.
Eric talks about his hardships in moving in Los Angeles, and the terrible landlord experiences he's had.
The subject moves onto making offensive material, and how an audience might react. The infamous But-Clit conspiracy is addressed.
Also we discuss the idea that hindsight will always be the less racist perspective.
Heidi talks about her time overhearing Tish Drama, and maybe stalking the man she NYU admired. Lotta NYU dick, followed by a rambling apology for all things by the Eagle.

Fan Favorite Stephen Ji returns to the show, to be our Korean Corespondent. We talk Kim Jung Il, and Kim Jung-un, and how they might just be fear puppets of a military industrial complex.
Then I talk to the Jimmy Time Podcast boys. I've assembled the team to see how they are informing themselves in a modern multimedia society.
Then we learn that Jimmy Time Podcast member German (yes, his name is German. Yes that's unusual.), may be gay. Evidence to try to prove this rumor is presented.
Then we talk about getting ratings, and what it takes to be a comic starting out. And a comic's ability to offend people.
Finally, as a special treat. Calder Holbrook stops by to cap off this episode of Highway fucking Diary.
He talks about Monkey Butler, and his new team called, Mrs. Belvedere.
We talk about Dennis Rodman meeting with Kim Jung Un, and the North Korea Conspiracy continues.
