This guy wasnt simply a writer, he was a storyteller through whatever medium he could get you to listen

My second favorite moment is when he says, "I like toys." It's so wonderful to hear a grown person unashamed to say that they love/like something.

Listening to his delivery here you can absolutely tell why he was good friends with Robin Williams.

sometimes when he gets pissed you can hear him slip into the am voice for 2-3 seconds like at 3:29

Love how at the end he answers the other question. Throughout his retelling of his story he still had it the back of his mind that he needed to answer it.

I wish i could go back in time and create a podcast just to invite him every week.

Forget writing; they should have cast him as a Bond villain. Way to go Harlan. RIP.

Harlan could have been a comedian, he had that cynical yet funny energy that lit up a room

I've heard this a zillion times, but it is always fun to hear it a zillion and one times.
