Nobody speaks it. Yeah, only we know what it's saying.

No, unless you're getting possessed by the devil.

They don't throw in Latin? Do they occasionally? I feel like the exorcists. I feel like she throws in a little Latin. She said, your mother sucks cocks in hell. By the way, that movie... Super English. I don't understand why anyone's scared of that movie. That movie's hilarious.

Seventy... Five? Seventy...

Tried to be Rain Man. So I was six. Yeah, well, you should have been seeing the movie anyway.

Can I ask you this? I was talking to them backstage. Did you believe in the devil, kind of? Oh, yeah, sure. Because I'm a Jew. I'm like a heathen Jew, right? We don't believe in the devil. So for me, it just felt like funny. It's a good fucking movie, man. But it's just like she's like saying like your mom sucks cocks in hell. That's like to a priest. That's definitively funny.

Well, how about when she fucks herself with the cross?

But that's like, I guess back then, the idea of a kid cursing was like. Oh, it was crazy. Well, this girl. But now it's South Park.

You just see people see you on the street.

You're like 13. People are walking by.

Yeah. That was... Yeah. I just... I love horror movies, but I find that one, it's like... I just don't find it. I don't know. I feel like a girl. I mean, at the time, I get it was scary. Definitely if you're six. But I just find it silly. It's just like you're telling the priest to go fuck himself. It's just funny.

And all those movies have gone on, and we've learned from those movies. Which is interesting to think that back then at Kid Cursing, we were so much more puritanical. That was disturbing.

Right, right. And he did have great jokes. You just gotta get past the... You dig and the... Yeah. Meshuggah knows. But like... He had great jokes. That book of his is awesome, the one of his transcripts. Do you look at that?

It's like just that writing. Of the trials? No, just of the stand-up. Oh, the stand-up. It's awesome. You see it all. He had one bit that was like – I love Bill Hicks. He's one of my favorites. But it was similar to a Bill Hicks joke. Not to say Bill Hicks stole from it, but they're just great minds think alike about like – If Jesus came back, would he want to see a cross?

Something similar to that.

Yeah, but he might have been the first.

I mean, Kenniston had something kind of similar to that, too. I listened to Bill Hicks recently. He got me into comedy. I always loved him. I listened to him on a road trip recently, and he holds up so well. And I think the people call him preachy. I think they're so wrong. I actually think all his jokes are just good jokes. that aren't really preachy for the most part.

See, I don't think it was preachy.

No. You know what I'm saying?

Well, it's also funny to see a crazy person on stage. Just someone who's like, you know, that's hilarious. Like, he is a funny character. And I do think he has great misdirects. Like, just great jokes that go beyond, like, what ideology he's, like, you know, professing. You mean Hicks? Hicks, yeah.
