Good day, friend.
I want to talk to you about a couple of things which I think are very important today.
I want to tell you what I did.
I want to fill you in on what I did.
And maybe, maybe you might find this of interest.
Maybe, maybe not.
It's up to you.
But I want to tell you what I did today.
I didn't want to say anything ahead of time in case, well, I don't know.
Who knows?
Who knows why?
I'm not sure why.
But there are very, very few things that come to mind that I think are as fascinating to me as the body health Technology and the like.
And I say to you right now, dear, dear friend, dear, dear friend, that I did something today, which I do, I think most of us do, after a certain age.
I got my colonoscopy.
That's right.
And I'm here to tell you all about it, and all of its incredible glory, whether you like it or not, I'm here to tell you.
We're also going to talk about, from that to the death of William Friedkin, who was responsible for one of the most important films, I think, of our time.
I think of our time.
I think that most of us have been absolutely just Fascinated by what it is.
And that's, of course, The Exorcist.
We'll talk about that.
And this lunacy involving, I guess, debates and the like.
But let me tell you, first and foremost, one of the things which I want to share with you.
People are the biggest babies That I've ever seen.
When it comes to, I don't know why, when it comes to the idea, to the notion of colonoscopies, because they make the big deal about the prep.
I don't know if you've ever had, who here has had a colonoscopy?
Show of hands.
Anybody?
Oh, be proud.
Raise your hand.
Come on.
Who here has had a colonoscopy?
Who specifically?
Name it.
Raise your hand.
Yes?
Look at this.
Yes?
No?
Yes?
Most incredible thing in the world.
Most incredible thing in the world.
When you think about what happens, they take basically a phone with a camera and a light and shove it in your arse and then take pictures.
And from your cecum to your sigmoid colon to look around, they're going around.
And if it doesn't like somebody, it says, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
Hey, hey, hey, we don't like this.
What is this right here?
It just, a little lasso comes along and takes it off.
It's the most brilliant thing I've ever seen in my life.
It's brilliant.
And then when they get done, they say, you're clean.
See you in 10 years.
What?
I'll be 75?
I told this guy, I don't know if you're going to be here, but I don't know, I'm 75. Yep, you're clean as a whistle, so to speak.
It's the most incredible thing in the world.
And of course, when you're sitting in that room and you can't, at any time, when was the last time you ate?
Well, let me see.
Who was president?
Funny.
Funny like you can't believe.
Even funnier.
I told the guy in the room, they said, you know, you have the most beautiful eyes.
Will you respect me in the morning?
They don't remember these jokes.
They don't care about this.
But it's wonderful.
Everybody's sitting there with their loose clothing.
I know what you're here for!
Then they call you.
Come on in.
Then they ask you questions about your bowel habits.
It's wonderful.
I'm saying, you tell me.
You know why?
Because you know what's even more embarrassing?
Colon cancer and death.
That's real embarrassing.
Oh yeah!
So I walk in and I see my guy, greatest, nicest man.
I only see him then.
Last time I saw him I think was five, I don't know how many years ago.
Good to see you!
Remember me?
Here, remember this one?
Now do you remember me?
Here, ring a bell?
It's wonderful.
It's wonderful.
Thank you.
And I asked him, I said, five years?
Nothing.
Ten years?
Ten years.
You sure?
Ten years.
You sure about that?
Yep.
Talked to a friend of mine, a radiologist.
He goes, you sure?
Ten years?
Yep.
Okay.
And they talk about the prep.
You ever heard these babies?
You ever heard these babies?
Oh, my God.
Did you ever see these babies?
Oh, the prep.
The prep.
He makes such a big deal about it.
Ladies, you who have had given birth, this is nothing.
I saved the box for you.
Sutab.
Don't bother me.
I saved this for you.
You get two of these pills.
Twelve.
Sixteen ounce.
Fill this up.
One every five minutes for an hour.
Then you wait an hour.
You drink another one of these.
Wait half an hour.
Eat another one of these.
Four o 'clock in the afternoon.
Ten o 'clock.
Do it again.
And the best part about this.
It's after you take it, you say, okay, I've taken it.
Now what?
It's that you want to hear like a drum roll.
What?
And it's like, don't worry about it.
Take it easy.
You sure this works?
Oh, it works.
You sure?
Absolutely.
It works.
Okay, I don't know.
Because, you know, if I say...
And then that feeling of, uh-oh.
It's working!
Get out of the way.
Nothing serious, nothing difficult.
And you're thinking, this is great.
The worst part about it, oh my god.
Can I tell you the worst part?
They'd like you to do it like five days before eating like no fiber, no roughage, nothing with seeds, nothing with flavor, nothing with color.
You know, meat doesn't do that.
Tofu, cream of wheat, bread, pasta, horrible.
Everything processed.
No whole wheat, no nothing.
No berries with seeds, nothing with chips.
And if that's not going to clog you up, because everything in your system just comes, there's no fiber, there's no nothing.
Well, we want you to...
This is the diet they put people on before they went on that Titanic sub thing.
So anyway, you know what the best part is?
Propofol.
Oh yeah!
I don't know why I love it.
I just love it.
No count, no nothing.
That Jacko juice, milk of amnesia, it's beautiful.
We're going to put it in there.
A little halfway there.
There you go.
And you say, okay, I'm feeling all right.
And then all of a sudden, this must be death, provided you are able to drift off the feeling of, here we go!
Next thing you know, it's always some nurse who has a foreign accent yelling your name.
How you feeling?
What?
What?
Hey!
Hey!
And just for a second you say, what the hell?
Just for a second.
Oh, I remember.
But not half a second.
You're sitting there wearing booties with grips on it and a gown in what appears to be a mental hospital.
Just for a second or two.
And you go, oh, okay, I got it.
I got it.
Alrighty.
Alrighty.
I got it.
I remember now.
So please do this.
Please do this.
Please do this.
Liz, going through the...
It's a wonderful adventure, isn't it, Liz?
Coming into grips with yourself.
So if you have had any hesitancy, please do this.
Because I was looking at some YouTube videos of some pretty nasty malignant tumors and they're not good.
They're not good at all.
Now, next news is William Friedkin died.
What a weird guy.
What a weird, weird guy.
His interviews were so strange.
So odd.
He was 87. He had just won an Academy Award for French Connection.
With the greatest chase scene, well, one of the greatest, the guy's name, the stunt driver's name was Bill Hickman.
Bill Hickman also was a stunt driver in Bullet.
Bill Hickman was the best.
And I respectfully submit, I think the The chase scene in short time with Dabney Coleman, I thought was much better.
So they just did this whole thing.
And Friedkin was weird.
I've seen so many documentaries on The Exorcist.
So many of them.
So many more than you can imagine.
And that was a weird, weird Weird thing.
Weird.
Very weird.
Very strange.
Very strange.
I thought his relationship in some respects to Linda Blair a little weird.
A little strange.
Just the way stuff he said.
Just some stuff.
Not a lot of stuff.
Just some stuff.
I thought it was very weird.
Very odd.
Very strange.
In fact, I found also that The Exorcist was filmed right kind of in our hood, not too far from here.
And it was, I think at the time, one of the most important movies around, about, that anybody had ever seen.
It was incredible.
It was incredible.
Do you remember?
Do you?
Were you around?
Were you around, dear friends?
Were you around when this movie first came out?
Were you there then?
Do you recall it?
Do you?
It was something that was so important and so critical.
Do you remember this?
It was a wonderful, wonderful, great movie that was so terrific.
And why I loved it so much, the reason why I loved it, I loved it because of the fact that it had no CGI.
There was nothing really important to it.
It was all wires and pulleys and things like that.
It wasn't, it wasn't, but it was one of the scariest movies ever.
And for that, I think.
It was wonderful.
Do you remember that?
Do you remember what this did?
Do you remember what this did to people?
Do you remember what this did to people?
Do you remember this?
I do.
I remember where I was.
I remember how it changed everything.
I remember how the churches themselves were wondering whether they should.
Allow you whether they should recommend it.
And I kept asking these questions.
And I love, as you know, I love the devil.
I have loved the devil my whole life.
The devil is the most fascinating story.
I love the devil.
The devil, it makes so much sense.
It's so fascinating.
And I had to ask the question.
I had to ask the question of all questions.
And this was the most important.
This was the question which I guess I sort of had to ask.
And it goes something like this.
Why did the devil go after this little girl?
Why did this devil care about this little girl?
What did she ever do to warrant this What kind of behavior?
What was the point of this?
This is the devil.
I kept asking all these questions.
Why didn't God kill the devil?
Why is the devil here?
Which devil?
This is Lucifer?
Satan?
Beelzebub?
Are they the same?
Why are they bothering this little girl?
And why is...
What is the point of it?
I'm saying, why is the devil always telling you, here I am, spouting obscenities, taking a crucifix, doing terrible things, pea soup?
What is the point?
What does the devil...
And he brings some what?
Some garlic and some, what is it?
Or it's Dracula.
He gets the thing, and he goes, and the holy water.
That's going to scare the devil?
A little holy water?
He's there the whole time.
You can't, you're going to tie the devil down?
What does the devil want?
If somebody said, okay, listen, devil, what do you want?
Okay, okay, fine.
I got it.
I got it.
Do you want to just walk like this for the rest of your life?
Do you want to just, what do you want to do?
If we let you go, where will you go?
What will you do?
They're going to see you.
They're going to arrest you.
They're going to say, who is this guy?
That's the devil.
What do you want?
Why don't you just kind of calm it down?
Go in and say, hey, I'm okay.
Take over, possess the President of the United States.
Somebody might argue he is.
What is the purpose?
Why are you doing this?
What is the purpose of this?
I've never understood this.
Never.
But the movie.
What was the scariest part of the movie?
What was the scariest part?
To me, it wasn't even the fact.
Once you saw her going down the centipede, the head turning around, please!
Did you see when they were spinning her back?
They were really hurting her.
Freaking told this guy, make it serious.
And Ellen Burstyn?
She heard freaking tell somebody, I mean, he was, like, sadistic.
But I don't know what it was.
The scene that I think is still scary is when Max Fonsito, who's a young man that looks and he sees this...
Remember the name of the god?
The name of the devil and the...
The devil statue in the exorcist.
What was the name?
Oh!
Pazuzu!
Is that beautiful?
Pazuzu!
It's like Zazu Pits.
Pazuzu!
Come on!
Pazuzu, in ancient Mesopotamian religion, Pazuzu was a personification of the southwestern wind and held kingship over The Leeloo Wind Demons.
What is the demon statue?
Pazuzu statue.
Lollapalooza!
Pazuzu.
That scene when he looks and there's Pazuzu, that did it for me.
That was it.
How about when all of a sudden you saw the shadow in the room?
Where'd that come from?
It's Pazuzu.
Pazuzu!
Great movie.
What they did, they have to ice the room down with these heaters and they can only do...
What that girl went through, what she went through physically...
Now the bottom line is this, and this is my question.
Do you believe in the devil?
Do you believe there's Satan?
Do you believe in the personification of evil in this one body?
Do you believe in possessions?
Do you believe in exorcisms?
Do you believe in this?
Does this make sense to you?
When I ask you, you should ask me the question, what do you mean believe?
Do you believe?
If you believe in love, what do you believe?
Do you believe in a devil?
Do you believe in this?
It's a very interesting thing.
A devil.
The year 2023.
Do you believe in the devil?
Do you?
Of course you do.
I know you do.
You love the devil.
The devil is the perfect personification of evil for you.
You wouldn't let the devil go by.
Oh no no no.
You love the devil.
You love the devil.
You love him.
And you will say he exists.
And how do you know that?
Because look at all the evil in the world.
Couldn't the evil exist without him?
No.
Really?
No.
You mean to tell me that Without the devil, there would be no evil in the world?
Yes.
Do you mean that?
No.
Ah.
So does the devil supplement evil?
Does he exacerbate evil?
What does this do?
Have you thought this through?
No, I have not.
But I like to say this because it makes things make sense.
When you say it is evil, it is Satan, it is Satanic, it is communism, it is Marxism, it is whatever, it makes people feel, it makes people feel, it identifies the objectification of something.
It's perfect.
And I understand completely.
Do you know that the devil is something that is somewhat new?
It is brand new.
It didn't exist before.
And the personification, the morphology, the phenotype, if you will, of devil is new and it pretty much mirrors that of Pan.
It's pagan.
The hoof and all of that stuff.
Do you know that?
Do you believe in evil?
When somebody does something, if I am Ted Bundy, and I am killing people, and I am killing people because I am a serial killer, a rarity, am I killing you because it is a part of a pathology that I have, or is it because of evil, or does evil merely describe what I'm doing?
For example, can you look at...
Some people used to call rape lust.
I'm thinking, that's not lust.
It's violence.
What do you call drug addiction?
What do you call that?
You've got to give it a good name.
These names don't really apply.
Evil.
It's a collective way of saying things.
It's a collective way.
Goodness.
Evil.
There's goodness in the world.
You know, I lost my wallet and somebody found it and brought it to me.
You know, there's goodness in the world.
It's just kind of like a collective term.
As opposed to, goodness was a force that motivated this person.
No, it was something used to define, to describe that which he did.
But it doesn't exist in and of itself.
Goodness is not a force.
It's what we use to describe certain things.
Sometimes people do things because they feel good being good.
Some people feel good because it's part of their religion.
Some people feel good because it's whatever it is.
And some people do it because it makes them feel good.
It's interesting.
Forgiveness is not a virtue.
Forgiveness?
What does that mean?
It's okay.
I forgive you.
Nobody forgives.
Nobody.
What they're saying is, I'm going to give you a pass.
But for me to look at you and say, it's like it never happened.
No.
Depending upon what it is.
If it's something, you know, meaningless, yeah, sure.
Does anybody really forgive?
No.
Do they forget?
No.
It's an expression we use.
If somebody killed your child, would you forgive them?
No.
You do it in the context of religion where you say it is up to God or Jesus to whatever.
I'm not going to spend the rest of my life.
That's one thing.
It's very interesting the words we use.
It's very interesting, the words we use.
We use, we do these things, and we never, ever, ever spend time really defining what it is that we so interestingly use.
When a little child sees another child crying or drops something, and the little child runs over and says, here, and hands the item that was dropped.
Here, because the child sees that this other child is crying.
Is that goodness?
I think it's a reflex.
And I think doing things to benefit other people is something that is reflexive.
I think it makes us feel good.
It's not goodness.
It's because goodness, one could say, is a natural reflex.
Doing good things makes us feel good.
Helping somebody out makes us feel good.
We're not doing it because we're good.
We're not saying, you know, I would keep that wallet, but doggone it, I've got to be good.
No!
Wouldn't even think anything of it.
Wouldn't think anything of it.
Is man good?
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
Most of the time, people who are good are people who don't do bad things.
They're pretty much...
Think about this.
Think about this.
William Friedkin, one of the most important movies.
Go see The Exorcist again.
You can get it online.
See it again.
It is still wonderful.
Also see the Destiny Denied or whatever this John F. Kennedy thing.
Incredible.
Incredible.
Wonderful.
The biggest lie from the devil is that it doesn't exist.
A very clever way of saying The biggest lie of Pazuzu is that there's no such thing as Pazuzu.
Wait a minute.
What?
Pazuzu wants you to believe there is no Pazuzu.
Wait a minute.
I don't believe there's a Pazuzu.
Precisely.
Now wait a minute.
You're just saying that to explain that there's some that for me denying that there's a Pazuzu.
Sugar Plum Bumpkin!
What?
I believe in Sugar Plum Bumpkin!
And Sugar Plum Bumpkin wants you not to believe in what?
You've got Pazuzu, I've got Sugar Plum Bumpkin.
It's an old Robert Klein routine.
You see how we work these things?
We just change the rules a bit.
Okay, yeah, that makes sense.
The devil wants you not to believe in the devil because then the devil wants you and the devil does not appear because if he appears, then you wouldn't have to believe.
You would see and know.
Huh?
You just say things.
Just do me a favor.
Just say things and just...
You don't necessarily need proof of something for it to exist.
You must own your heart believe that it exists for it to believe because if you require proof, then you don't have faith.
What?
I want proof.
I don't want faith.
I want proof.
There you go.
See?
What?
You just change the rules, whatever you want.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you want proof.
What?
No, you want faith.
No, we want proof.
No, no.
See?
There you go again.
You and your proof.
That's why I love you people.
You're wonderful.
Deep down inside, you're good folks.
So anyway, that's that.
So I got a good, clean bell of health today.
Feeling good?
No polyps, no nothing.
Please get your colon checked.
Please.
And colon self-examination is very important.
How do you do that?
Stand on a chair.
Nobody really got that.
William Friedkin, thank you.
You were creepy as hell, but...
Weird.
But your movie, Rosemary's Baby, couldn't get into that one.
Couldn't get into that.
Couldn't get into that.
But the devil has been, to me, the greatest source of fascination since I was a kid.
Catholic school.
They loved the devil.
Loved the devil.
Loved it.
Alright, dear friends.
