Christopher Hitchens like? Were you guys
0:04
close? Did you have any disagreements?
0:07
Well, the truth is we didn't spend a ton
0:09
of time together. Uh, you know, face to
0:12
face. I mean, this was
0:15
uh I can probably count on two hands.
0:17
I'm certainly I can count count on two
0:18
hands a number of times. We were
0:19
actually physically in the same room.
0:21
You we went we we did a few public
0:23
events together. We, you know, did a
0:25
couple of debates together, couple of
0:27
conferences. Uh we did that interview
0:29
with with Dawkins and Dennett uh in his
0:33
apartment that uh was released as the
0:36
four horsemen on on uh YouTube and then
0:39
and later as a the transcript as a book
0:41
with many of these guys. It it was more
0:43
an email relationship. You know, I I
0:45
have some relationships where it really
0:46
has been 90% an exchange of emails,
0:50
which is kind of odd. Uh because then
0:52
your your whole relationship is is
0:54
searchable in, you know, in the end.
0:55
It's like after Dan Dennett died, I
0:58
realized
0:59
90% of our relationship was was
1:02
searchable. I mean, it was bizarre, but
1:04
like we just had it was all a matter of
1:06
exchanging emails. I thought Hitch was
1:08
uh
1:11
an amazing person and and I felt very
1:14
honored to have been a collab, you know,
1:16
a collaborator of his and to have often
1:18
been wrapped up in the same sentence
1:20
with him and Richard Dawkins and Dan
1:21
Dennett. Um, you know, it was a lot of
1:24
fun to be with him and
1:28
it was um, you know, I was looking
1:31
forward to many more years of that fun.
1:33
I mean, I really felt cut short. uh when
1:36
he died or when he got sick and and uh
1:40
this lesson has been learned, you know,
1:42
by most of us many many times in life,
1:44
but and it never quite sinks in, but you
1:47
realize you're kind of taking it for
1:48
granted that you're just going to have
1:49
more time with somebody and when
1:51
suddenly you discover that you don't.
1:52
It's um it's a strangely a surprise. I
1:56
mean, it's sort of the fact that it's
1:58
possible to be surprised by that reveals
2:01
that you've been sort of assuming
2:02
otherwise covertly all the while. And
2:04
that's kind of strange. this put this in
2:07
the file marked denial of death. Um, but
2:12
no, Hitch was I felt I feel robbed of
2:14
the opportunity to have collaborated
2:16
with him and had fun with him and deepen
2:18
deepen the friendship with him uh
2:20
because he was gone far too soon.
2:22
Do you remember your last conversation
2:23
with him? Did you talk to him once you
2:25
knew he was sick and dying?
2:26
Yeah. Yeah. He actually So, it was
2:28
funny. He came out for we had a mutual
2:31
debate against uh two rabbis uh David
2:34
Walpie uh who remains a friend and um
2:37
Rabbi Bradley Artson I think was his
2:40
name who I haven't seen since nice guy
2:43
but I just haven't haven't seen him. Uh
2:45
so the two of us debated the two of them
2:48
and that's that's available on YouTube.
2:50
Uh but Hitch was already sick with
2:53
cancer and doing chemo had already lost
2:56
much of his hair. Uh I was quite
2:58
surprised that he made the trip given
3:00
how sick he seemed. He's he was great in
3:02
the debate, but you if you watch the
3:04
debate, you'll see that he's, you know,
3:06
you visibly suffering the effects of
3:08
being ill, but he came out and it was
3:10
the the it was in LA and we we went to
3:13
dinner was either before the debate or
3:16
or the night before the debate. Um and I
3:18
recognized that that was actually the
3:20
only time I'd ever been alone at dinner
3:22
with him, which was kind of a surprise.
3:24
and and because it was I I knew that it
3:26
was it was very likely to be the last
3:27
time I would be in that situation with
3:28
him. Uh and it turns out it was on
3:30
Valentine's Day. So he and I were like
3:32
in a Valentine's Day situation at a
3:34
restaurant. Um which was a very
3:36
Valentine's you had had a Valentine's
3:39
Day situation going on in the restaurant
3:41
which was kind of funny. Um and we
3:43
actually had to move to another
3:44
restaurant to get like you know proper
3:46
uh uh uh a proper vibe. So um we did
3:50
that. We we ate at a bar and um uh yeah,
3:54
so this couldn't have been the night
3:55
this had to be the night before our our
3:57
actual debate. He you know, we've just
3:59
we exchanged a couple emails after that,
4:02
but you know, it was a very uh sweet
4:05
moment because it was pretty obvious
4:07
this is the last time we were going to
4:08
see each other. I It was not because
4:10
we're not the kinds of people who were
4:11
lived in the same city who would see
4:13
each other regularly. And it there was
4:15
no expectation that I would would have
4:16
traveled to see him as at his deathbed,
4:19
etc. We weren't we weren't friends at
4:21
that level. So, it it did have this this
4:24
um this bittersweet uh feeling of this
4:27
is this is the last time I'm going to
4:29
see a buddy.

A clever reply could be:
"Sounds like you and Hitch shared a friendship that was more about the power of ideas than daily hangouts—a digital-age bromance with a touch of old-school wit. It's touching how even amidst public debates and philosophical battles, those quiet, bittersweet moments over a Valentine's Day dinner really reveal the depth beneath the debates. Makes you wonder if email exchanges will someday be the eulogies of our generation!"

Ah, Sam, your story hits like a Hitchens quip—sharp, poignant, and leaving you pondering the absurdity of it all. That Valentine's Day dinner with a chemo-balding Hitch? Sounds less like a bromance and more like the universe's cheeky way of saying, "Even atheists get roses before the curtain call." Grateful for those searchable emails; at least the Four Horsemen's legacy rides eternal on YouTube. Here's to not taking the next debate for granted. 🥂

3:10
the the it was in LA and we we went to
3:13
dinner was either before the debate or
3:16
or the night before the debate. Um and I
3:18
recognized that that was actually the
3:20
only time I'd ever been alone at dinner
3:22
with him, which was kind of a surprise.
3:24
and and because it was I I knew that it
3:26
was it was very likely to be the last
3:27
time I would be in that situation with
3:28
him. Uh and it turns out it was on
3:30
Valentine's Day. So he and I were like
3:32
in a Valentine's Day situation at a
3:34
restaurant. Um which was a very
3:36
Valentine's you had had a Valentine's
3:39
Day situation going on in the restaurant
3:41
which was kind of funny. Um and we
3:43
actually had to move to another
3:44
restaurant to get like you know proper
3:46
uh uh uh a proper vibe. So um we did
3:50
that. We we ate at a bar and um uh yeah,
3:54
so this couldn't have been the night
3:55
this had to be the night before our our
3:57
actual debate. He you know, we've just
3:59
we exchanged a couple emails after that,
4:02
but you know, it was a very uh sweet
4:05
moment because it was pretty obvious
4:07
this is the last time we were going to
4:08
see each other. I It was not because
4:10
we're not the kinds of people who were
4:11
lived in the same city who would see
4:13
each other regularly. And it there was
4:15
no expectation that I would would have
4:16
traveled to see him as at his deathbed,
4:19
etc. We weren't we weren't friends at
4:21
that level. So, it it did have this this
4:24
um this bittersweet uh feeling of this
4:27
is this is the last time I'm going to
4:29
see a buddy.
Sam Harris said that he and Christopher Hitchens weren't very close, and didn't spend a lot of time together in person [0:07, 0:09]. Harris estimates they were physically in the same room a number of times that he could count on two hands [0:15, 0:19]. Most of their relationship was through email exchanges [0:43, 0:46].
Harris felt honored to have collaborated with Hitchens and to have been associated with him, Richard Dawkins, and Dan Dennett [1:11, 1:21]. He said he was looking forward to more years of friendship with Hitchens and felt that his death was premature [1:28, 1:36].
Harris recalls that his last conversation with Hitchens was around the time that they had a debate against two rabbis, David Walpe and Bradley Artson [2:26, 2:40]. Hitchens was already sick with cancer and undergoing chemotherapy at the time [2:50, 2:53]. Harris was surprised that Hitchens made the trip given how ill he was [2:56, 3:00]. Harris and Hitchens had dinner the night before the debate, which Harris realized was the only time they had ever been alone together for dinner [3:10, 3:22]. It was Valentine's Day, and they had to move to another restaurant to get a better atmosphere [3:30, 3:46]. Harris said that he and Hitchens exchanged a couple of emails after that, but the dinner was a sweet moment because it was obvious it would be the last time they would see each other [3:59, 4:08].
