Pretty sure the first time I heard of Harris was on one of Paul's old CDR sets. Harris had gone on before him and Paul spent most of his set just riffing about how adorable the name Wittels is and how if that was his name he'd just constantly call people up in the middle of the night to wake them up because who the gently caress can stay mad at a guy named Wittels.

Also that YMIW interview was great but I was rereading Welsh's Trainspotting trilogy at the time it came out and all I could think was "this doesn't sound like a guy who's had his last encounter with opiates". :(

Drunk as heck, and listening to CBB ep #89 with Nick Kroll and Harris. Harris is so effortlessly funny its ridiculous.

Paul just tweeted:

"Harris Wittels was a brilliant comedian, a best friend, and the closest thing I had to a brother... I miss him so much."


This is hitting me harder than most any celeb death in recent memory. Harris was the greatest. Gonna keep going through his twitter for a long time to come.

And it sounds like they may have already recorded Farts & Pro 4?

I didn't know Harris Wittels. But allow me to interject on behalf of all those who did. What a loving fuckhead.

And he speaks like he knows a ton of poo poo. I have a friend who died from a heroin overdose and the thing about it is we didn't know he was using. The second guy I know, a good friend has been in and out of rehab like 7 times for heroin. You can only offer yourself to help so many times before you have to distance yourself. Sometimes people just need to decide to help themselves or just wait for their death. This sounds dark but its true.It's very funny too that this guy is saying all these people were doing it to ride his coattails to fame...which is absurd. There are hundreds of people who met him through, say, UCB who are mourning a friend and colleague. gently caress this dude.

E: Oh, wait, I know who that guy is. Haha, he's just a loving too cool for school rear end in a top hat.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

These are courtesy of someone who knew Harris irl:

My favorite Harris jokes:

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but then... what if you get sick and need to see the doctor, guys. Don't eat apples."

"You should really dance like EVERYONE'S watching because then... you'll dance better."

"Ok so did NO ONE want to have sex with poor Bill Cosby?!"

It's pretty rough for the first 10 minutes with Kulap letting it all out there, but then the rest of the show is a compilation of Harris' best bits on Who Charted. The whole episode is well worth listening to.

This was pretty nice since I'd not heard two of these. I started going through Doodie Calls but stopped when I didn't have a huge long commute anymore and my podcast usage went down, so I never got to Harris's ep. With Go Bayside I kind of just listened to eps that I recalled thinking were extra silly, or had a guest that I liked a lot. I somehow missed Harris's ep. Both are pretty great.
