Angeline Compau:

No, he was not.

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah,

Angeline Compau:

you know what you need to do is make him a tic tok video, or just a video in general. So he can refer back to it when he doesn't remember

It's not like we talk all the time.

Angeline Compau:

Rebecca Smith:

I think it's with people that like, I don't really like to listen to what he has to say either.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah, yeah. That's not a good listener

Rebecca Smith:

Angeline Compau:

Just tell me again. Just tell me again. I'm listening now.

Rebecca Smith:

So I've been chatting with Jason because he sent me more like celebrity ghost story videos and stuff like that. And then I'm like, Jason, come on the podcast tonight. We're recording tonight. Come on, and you we can talk about all this paranormal stuff. And he won't do it. bummed!

Angeline Compau:

Rebecca Smith:

I don't know.

Angeline Compau:

Well, if you're listening, Jason grow a pair.

Rebecca Smith:

No,

Angeline Compau:

yeah, grow a pair of balls.

Rebecca Smith:

I don't know if he thinks that, like if he thinks that we're more serious than we actually are? I don't know.

Angeline Compau:

Oh my gosh.

Rebecca Smith:

I mean, he was very sweet about it. He's like, I'm honored that you guys would ask me but what did he say? It was so cute. I'm not a paranormal specialist. I'm like, I'm not a specialist in anything, yet I still talk about.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah, right.

Rebecca Smith:

Like I am as if I was a specialist. So no, not coming on. Now he's gone into not only Sasquatch, it is now UFOs and aliens, which the government just did admit to. And subterranean creatures like what's beneath the earth's surface?

Angeline Compau:

Probably a lot of shit. Because we don't even know what's like, in the ocean after a certain amount of depth.

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah, he sent me some stuff on it. So if we ever do talk about this shit, Jason, you're coming on? I'm just gonna say that out.

Angeline Compau:

No, you're not.

Rebecca Smith:

Now Angeline's mad!

Angeline Compau:

No, no, you're not invited.

Rebecca Smith:

He said, Okay. He said this way. He said, think about it this way The ocean covers 70% of the earth and 80% is undiscovered.

Angeline Compau:

Yes.

Rebecca Smith:

Acknowledging that, how much of the subterranean do you think is undiscovered? When it's not easy to move around in and see things like with water?

Angeline Compau:

I'm not impressed. Jason I already knew all that. You can Google that. already knew that. Just saying that is common Google knowledge.

Rebecca Smith:

Jason, don't let, Angilene's a bitch to everybody. Do not be deterred.

Angeline Compau:

No, I'm just offended that you won't come on the podcast.

Rebecca Smith:

She's very, Yeah, she her feelings are easily offended when people say no to us.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah. And I'm already in a mood today. So

Rebecca Smith:

and she's already in a mood. So don't take it personally.

Angeline Compau:

However, I did know that already. So

Rebecca Smith:

the only person she really likes is Greg Louganis.

Angeline Compau:

That's the only person I like. Greg Louganis can come on, and he can tell me all the information I already know. I don't care.

Rebecca Smith:

So are you into like subterranean stuff?

Angeline Compau:

No, I just knew that. I watched

Rebecca Smith:

Ohm I didn't know that

Angeline Compau:

Yeah, I just I don't know. I get into some dark tic tok holes. With that kind of stuff before.

Rebecca Smith:

Oh, I see.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah, alien stuff. Like I had always already assumed that it was real like, but I don't I don't care about it. I'm like, Yeah, whatever. Of course, there has to be.

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah, I figured there was too

Angeline Compau:

Yeah, that's... Old news.

Rebecca Smith:

very egocentric to think that we are the only beings

Angeline Compau:

exactly

Rebecca Smith:

out in the universe.

Angeline Compau:

100% That's why I was like that. Yeah, that's old news. However,

Rebecca Smith:

easy, geez. Just kidding. Like the government admitting it though. isn't old news. Because they recently did.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah. I don't know why they wanted to hide it for so long.

Rebecca Smith:

I don't know.

Angeline Compau:

That's dumb. I think. Like ghosty stuff though. Like spirits coming in and knocking shit over and flicking lights. Now that stuff. That's what I like. I don't want it to happen to me, but I like it.

Rebecca Smith:

Did you see that Tyler Henry the Hollywood medium is gonna be in at Motor City casino?

Angeline Compau:

Of course he is. If you guys don't know.

Rebecca Smith:

What does somebody have to do to be legit in your world? I don't know.

Angeline Compau:

shrugs.

Rebecca Smith:

Okay, well, we're not talking about ghosts. We're not talking about mediums. We're not talking about any of that this week.

Angeline Compau:

Why?

Rebecca Smith:

Because we're gonna talk about demons, get excited

Angeline Compau:

I don't know if I'm here for that.

Rebecca Smith:

come on. Oh, you're gonna be in for some shit. Let me tell you.

Angeline Compau:

demons.

Rebecca Smith:

So

Angeline Compau:

they scare me.

Rebecca Smith:

My week this week is going to be on Anneliese Michel. do you know who that is?

Angeline Compau:

No.

Rebecca Smith:

no? There have been several podcasts about her. That's why I thought for sure you would probably know

Angeline Compau:

I think I did listen to one about her.

Rebecca Smith:

Yes.

Angeline Compau:

And she inspired a exorcism movie?

Rebecca Smith:

Yes.

Angeline Compau:

Okay. Is it Emily Rose?

Rebecca Smith:

Yes.

Angeline Compau:

Oh, okay. Okay,

Rebecca Smith:

which I did just watch it again today too.

Angeline Compau:

I've never seen that movie

Rebecca Smith:

so there's been several, yeah, there's several pockets I listened to the I have Have a sound clip that I'm going to play and that's from a Buzzfeed Unsolved mystery thing on YouTube. And, yeah, I listened to podcasts and Wikipedia always my go to backup here. So, Anneliese Michel,

Angeline Compau:

She's my mom's age. his is all happened, like round the time that I was born. o she was born in Germany in eptember 1952.

Rebecca Smith:

Yes. Well, not anymore. She grew up fairly religious in a fairly strict Catholic household in Germany.

Angeline Compau:

Okay.

Rebecca Smith:

They went to math like twice a week, very into like the Catechism, the studies everything all about, like typical Catholics are, I guess. When she was 16, so about 1965 66, she experienced a severe convulsion. Like any family would, they took her to the doctor, sought medical attention. She was initially diagnosed with a temporal lobe epilepsy. So basically, they're saying she's having seizures because she's epileptic. So then the story skips to 1970. So what I couldn't find and I have this question written down what happened between 66 and 70? Okay, so in 1970, she was in a psychiatric hospital. So what happened in between 66 and 70. That warranted her getting like admitted to the psych ward, but says she was in a psychiatric hospital where she was staying when she suffered her third seizure. So if you've only had three seizures in what, like four years, I don't know what

Angeline Compau:

her family just sent her there

Rebecca Smith:

is typical for an elliptic, I don't know. See? That's what I don't know. I don't know what happened between the time period. Anyway, okay, so

Angeline Compau:

Shady

Rebecca Smith:

1970. She's in a psychiatric hospital where she suffers her third seizure. At this time she was prescribed Dilantin, I don't know how to ronounce it.

Angeline Compau:

Oh Dilaudid? Is that what it is?

Rebecca Smith:

it's D I L A N T I N it's used as an anti anti seizure medication.

Angeline Compau:

Oh, then nevermind it could be

Rebecca Smith:

just by 73, she just kept getting worse and But it didn't really seem to help. In the same month, she was also prescribed Alo, Aolept, hich is not used in the Unite States. Also, it's used as a hort term treatment of sever anxiety or tension, and also in the treatment of psychot worse and worse, suffered from depression, began hallucinating c disorders, such as schizop renia. So basically, now they're saying, okay, maybe she's n t epileptic, but maybe there's a mental disorder or somethi g going on. I thought that th while praying, complained of hearing voices that were damning y did brain scans and stuff l ke that, like, that's what th y talked about, like in the mov e they did, but her to hell all this other stuff, so she just she was in care, but she kept just getting worse and worse and worse, trying all these different treatments that weren't working.

Angeline Compau:

Yikes.

Rebecca Smith:

So long term help did not help her, either. She grew increasingly frustrated with all of the doctors that were trying to help her all the stuff that they were prescribing. She just nothing was working. And she kept getting more voices and just becoming more like, anxious. And then she stopped eating. As she It was like she said that the voices in her head or the demons that were inside her were preventing her from eating. Now, if you're a skeptic, you would say 1973 was also the time that the movie, The Exorcist, came out and won all these awards, nominated for Oscars, all this other stuff. So exorcism was kind of at the forefront of everybody's minds. Okay, so by 73, she suffered from depression, began hallucinating while praying, complained of hearing voices, all that stuff. Around the time she became intolerant of Christian sacred places and objects as well. So they went on a pilgrimage to some place and she she wasn't able to go inside. She wasn't able to go on any type of sacred land. Every time she would see like a picture of the Virgin Mary. She she wasn't able to like look at it full on, she couldn't look at it. She would always like, kind of shy away from it, I guess, basically. So she became convinced as well as her family that she was possessed by demons.

Angeline Compau:

Oh,

Rebecca Smith:

started consulting several priests asking for exorcisms, which is legal under German law

Angeline Compau:

Oh, that's right they're in Germany, I forgot

Rebecca Smith:

in Germany. Initially, priests declined, recommended further medical treatment and told the family that exorcisms were only granted with a permission from the local bishop. She'd also have to meet the criteria for exorcism by the Catholic Church or show the following signs. So these are the signs of according to the Catholic Church the signs of possession,

Angeline Compau:

okay,

Rebecca Smith:

loss or lack of appetite, cutting, scratching or biting of the skin. A cold feeling in the room, which is also ghosts.

Angeline Compau:

Yes, yes,

Rebecca Smith:

unnatural body postures or a change in the person's face or body. So contortioning that kind of stuff, losing control of their

Angeline Compau:

Yeah, normal personality. So basically becoming like a different person to other like people that knew them well. Change in voice, supernatural strength, speaking in tongues or languages that the person cannot normally speak in or has no knowledge of knowledge of past events or people the person cannot possibly know. levitating, expelling of objects, intense hatred of religious items. Oh, antipathy towards speaking Jesus's name so you can't say God talk anything or say Jesus name in your mouth because of all the demons. So those were the the ones that those are the signs, which basically she had almost in her case, she kept getting physically and physically worse. Displayed aggression. I think she threw her sister across the room or something like, at one point, maybe she deserved it

Rebecca Smith:

like a rag doll.

Angeline Compau:

Maybe she might have done something

Rebecca Smith:

in the movie the poor girl was just checking on her.

Angeline Compau:

Don't check on me.

Rebecca Smith:

Stop coming to my room. Get outta my room

Angeline Compau:

Exactly. get outta here. Nobody asked you in here.

Rebecca Smith:

That's gonna be you with your family, get out of my room, don't come in here!.

Angeline Compau:

Exactly.

Rebecca Smith:

Okay, so she had the aversion of religious objects displayed self injury, drank her own urine off the floor.

Angeline Compau:

You wait, you don't do that? Oh,

Rebecca Smith:

sorry, is that wrong?

Angeline Compau:

Wait. Yeah, I thought everyone did that.

Rebecca Smith:

She also ate insects and spiders. Yes.

Angeline Compau:

That could be pica.

Rebecca Smith:

What's pica?

Angeline Compau:

It's where you eat stuff that you're not supposed to eat? That's like an actual, like, mental kind of, but it's also a sign that you are that getting enough nutrition you're trying to eat like kids eating dirt could be a sign of pica.

Rebecca Smith:

Well, yeah, but she's saying like she wasn't eating because the demons were telling her not to but yet she's eating spiders. I don't know, the nutritional value of insects.

Angeline Compau:

No, I mean, there is no nutritional value, but you're trying to get it any way you can. Your body doesn't even know why you're doing it.

Rebecca Smith:

So in November 1973, excuse me, she was prescribed a new medication Tegretol Tegretol it's an anti seizure and mood stabilizers. So they were unclear as to like how she was being medicated. Like if it was a consistent medication throughout all of this and it was just kept changing or, or she over medicating or under medicating. I mean that that stuff was never really made clear.

Angeline Compau:

All of the above.

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah.

Angeline Compau:

It didn't sound like they knew what they were

Rebecca Smith:

I know. I know. So despite taking all the doing at all. medications and everything, I mean, her condition just kept getting worse and worse and worse and worse. So, there's a priest, Ernest Ault, who met with a family and Anneliese and finally declared that she was suffering from demonic possession and not a mental illness, he urged the local bishop to authorize the exorcism. So September 1975, Bishop Josef Stangl, granted the priest Arnold Renz permission to exercise but ordered total secrecy. So it wasn't supposed to be made public that this was going to be happening.

Angeline Compau:

Well, that's a good idea. You don't want people knowing that.

Rebecca Smith:

So the first session took place on September 24 1975. At this point, her parents stopped consulting doctors. So and and it said to like, with throughout all of this, like she was like, aware of her own treatment, she was still able to make decisions for herself. By this time, she's in her 20s,

Angeline Compau:

right.

Rebecca Smith:

So she was she said, I don't want the doctors anymore. This isn't what's happening with me. She really felt like she was possessed. Like, there were things inside of her that she couldn't control that were telling her not to eat

Angeline Compau:

Not good. that were, you know, giving her hese visions or whatever. So,

Rebecca Smith:

Right. So September 24 1995, was the first o at this point, she's now aying, I don't want that nymore. I don't want any edical attention. I don't want ny mental medical doctors. I ust want to stick with the xorcism stuff. So I'm sure she robably went off all the edication and who knows what hat does to your body, too. I ean, she session. That was the first one. So within about 10 a 10 month period, they performed 67 exorcisms on her 67 separate sessions, one or two each week, each lasting up to four hours are performed over the 10 month period,

Angeline Compau:

dude.

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah.

Angeline Compau:

I think after like, 10 I'd be like, Okay, I think we're good.

Rebecca Smith:

I mean, if nothing is working,

Angeline Compau:

yeah, like what?

Rebecca Smith:

I don't know,

Angeline Compau:

let's try it. 50 more times

Rebecca Smith:

I know, on July 1 1976, she died.

Angeline Compau:

Oh no.

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah. The autopsy reported the cause of death as malnutrition and dehydration.

Angeline Compau:

That makes sense.

Rebecca Smith:

Yep. Once the exorcism started, she had refused to eat anything at all. So before like the priests were saying that they, well in the movie, I don't know if it's really in real life, but they were encouraging her to eat. They were encouraging her to try to get some type of sustenance in her.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah.

Rebecca Smith:

Other than bugs.

Angeline Compau:

Right

Rebecca Smith:

and urine.

Angeline Compau:

Oh, no, the urine is working.

Rebecca Smith:

But yeah. So she just stopped everything completely for like, how long can you live? I like really, you could she had to be eating something? Because I think you can only last for like, what three weeks without food and water.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah, something like that.

Rebecca Smith:

So she died. They bring in the state prosecutor, an investigation is launched. The state prosecutor said that Anneliese's death could have been prevented. So charges were brought against her parents.

Angeline Compau:

Oh, geez.

Rebecca Smith:

And the two priests Ault and Renz for negligent homicide. Yep.

Angeline Compau:

Oh no,

Rebecca Smith:

so that now they have to go through a trial. So the trial started March of 1978. Several doctors testified for the prosecution. That annaliese that Annalise was not possessed, but that it was a psychological effect due to her religious upbringing, and the epa, epilepsy. So she had some type of psychosis. They're saying that was brought on by, you know, religious, I don't know what the word is. I can't think of the word. I don't wanna say battery, but like, but just like, you know, constant religious, and because she was so devout, and her family was so devout.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah.

Rebecca Smith:

And you have that strict belief. But although I was always told, growing up in Christianity, it wasn't Catholicism, but I was always told that if you are saved, you were blessed and baptized, that demons couldn't really possess you, because you had the Holy Spirit inside. That's what I was always led to believe. But maybe, I don't know. I don't know. Did you grew up with any kind of religion?

Angeline Compau:

I grew up very strictly Catholic, and I am confirmed,

Rebecca Smith:

I was confirmed too which means you were probably baptized as a baby. But

Angeline Compau:

yeah, but

Rebecca Smith:

yeah,

Angeline Compau:

I don't know.

Rebecca Smith:

So the defense argued that her the exorcism was legal, and that the German government, government protected citizens to exercise their religious rights and beliefs in this kind of stuff. So they played several tapes that they recorded at the Sessions featuring what they claimed, were arguments between the demons that were inside of her to kind of assert their claims that she was possessed by more than one entity.

Angeline Compau:

Ah,

Rebecca Smith:

so I have a sound bite of that. Do you want to hear it?

Angeline Compau:

Yep. I sure do.

Rebecca Smith:

So you'll hear too in this. The second part of it was, she claimed to be possessed by like, I think it was like a total of six demons. Both priests had testified to this separately. The demons were identified as Lucifer. Cain, Judas Iscariot, Hitler, Nero, Bailael, which is also another name for Lucifer and Legion as well. So those were the ones that she had. So you'll hear in the second part of the clip where she starts naming some of the demons that are

Angeline Compau:

so this is this is really her

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah.

Angeline Compau:

Oh my god.

Rebecca Smith:

This is really her.

Angeline Compau:

Oh, my gosh

Rebecca Smith:

(plays transcript) Yeah,

Angeline Compau:

that's awesome.

Rebecca Smith:

So that's where you can hear a little bit the end where she's named Hitler. It's all in German because of course, she's German. If you watch that Unsolved Mysteries, I pulled that clip off of the Buzzfeed Unsolved Mysteries, and they have a transcript of what she's saying,

Angeline Compau:

Oh,

Rebecca Smith:

on there. It's like a 15 minute YouTube thing. It's really cool. And I can post it on our Facebook too. But yeah, so those that was her, they have like hours and hours, you can listen they have like hours an hour and a half thing on YouTube of just those tapes of her speaking in this demonic voice. It's crazy. So yeah, the actions are my Emily

Angeline Compau:

That's so neat. Rose wasn't the only movie that was based off of her there was another one called Requiem. That was a German movie. Oh,

Rebecca Smith:

and then they had one and that was like that was like the tapes thing, but I think it was all in German. I couldn't understand what it was saying. And I didn't see anywhere where I could do it subtitled on my fire stick.

Angeline Compau:

That was hilarious.

Rebecca Smith:

I know, you're like, you look like you were trying to keep from laughing.

Angeline Compau:

I was it was hilarious.

Rebecca Smith:

It's crazy. I know. And I, again, I I believe that this stuff does happen. Like I totally believe in like spiritual warfare. I believe in possession. I believe that this stuff does happen. But then there's a little part of me that like, is this for real? Is this real?

Angeline Compau:

Did you ever see that movie split?

Rebecca Smith:

Yes.

Angeline Compau:

See? That's what that reminds me of?

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah.

Angeline Compau:

Like, I don't know. Because he says the same thing. You come out as a little kid or as Patricia and he could he was like,

Rebecca Smith:

different personalities

Angeline Compau:

schizophrenic.

Rebecca Smith:

Mm hmm.

Angeline Compau:

So I don't know

Rebecca Smith:

yep, they also said that because of the exorcism. She was finally freed just before her death. So they're saying their claim was that the exorcism worked.

Angeline Compau:

It did work. We did it

Rebecca Smith:

but she died. Yeah. So at the time of her death, she weighed 66 pounds, suffered from broken knees, was unable to move without assistance, and was reported to possibly have pneumonia. 66 pounds

Angeline Compau:

that's insane

Rebecca Smith:

crazy

Angeline Compau:

Of course you're dead.

Rebecca Smith:

It's crazy.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah, that's, that's why you're dead

Rebecca Smith:

right? So they did find them guilty of negligent homicide.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah.

Rebecca Smith:

But they went with the prosecution's recommendations that the parents be exempt from punishment. Because

Angeline Compau:

because technically, they're trying to help her.

Rebecca Smith:

They had suffered enough, that's what they said. Yeah,

Angeline Compau:

they were trying they just didn't know

Rebecca Smith:

the priests did not have to serve any time they they recommended a fine, but they ended up having to pay like court fees and stuff like that. And yeah, some other stuff.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah, cuz I wouldn't necessarily call it negligent homicide. They were they were not trying to be negligent. They were trying to help her. The best they knew how

Rebecca Smith:

The negligent part is that they should have their the they were saying that they should have been seeking medical treatment still

Angeline Compau:

Agreed. Agreed.

Rebecca Smith:

The fuckin Bishop denied like said that he was not aware of her condition. At the time that he approved the exorcism. Had he been aware he probably would not have approved it,

Angeline Compau:

what condition

Rebecca Smith:

that she had that she was as far gone as she was like,

Angeline Compau:

oh, you can't do exorcisms on people that far gon?.

Rebecca Smith:

I don't know the church experienced a bunch of criticism because of the case. And ultimately said that the case was misidentified as mental illness. So they're saying, had he seen how far like gone she was? He would have said, Oh, it was probably more of a medical issue or mental health issue than demonic possession, which is all just you trying to cover your ass. I feel like like, Dude, you approved it. And now you want to say like, Oh, but I didn't know that it was that bad. Like she was that like not eating and all that stuff.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah,

Rebecca Smith:

whatever. But so for the movie, they were saying how they have the movie is kind of like a trial situation. So you have like, flashbacks telling the story and testimony telling the story of Emily Rose.

Angeline Compau:

Okay,

Rebecca Smith:

right. So they brought in the actors that played the jurors did not have any information about the script or anything like that they were brought in, just to listen as the actors were playing out this trial in front of them.

Angeline Compau:

No way.

Rebecca Smith:

Yes. So they had no idea what was going on with this case. So they're basically hearing all of the information. So what they did at the end, they polled them to see how you would have voted. Were you the actual jury, in this case? What you would have done and they said it was a split decision.

Angeline Compau:

No way.

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah. But that was I mean, the movie, they took some graces with the movie, but it was actually really good. It was a good movie. And wasn't too scary. But you don't like demonic stuff, right?

Angeline Compau:

No, no. See the conjuring things as much of a skeptic as I am.

Rebecca Smith:

I don't think Emily Rose was any worse than the conjuring.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah, that one terrified me. That's what I'm saying those demonic possession things scare the piss out of me even though I'm I'm pretty skeptical of it. I'm like, Oh, I don't know. I don't know.

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah.

Rebecca Smith:

So do you believe that there are like angels and demons all around you? Like spiritual warfare? Do you believe in that kind of stuff?

Angeline Compau:

I don't know about that.

Rebecca Smith:

No, I do

Angeline Compau:

I don't know about that,

Rebecca Smith:

I do.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah.

Rebecca Smith:

But see, this is where I get all caught up because I also believe in like, ghosts and all that kind of I don't know where it all like fits in together.

Angeline Compau:

I don't either

Rebecca Smith:

I don't know how It all fits together. But I want to believe that it's all real, but I don't know.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah,

Rebecca Smith:

I don't know.

Angeline Compau:

I don't know either. Definitely hang out on the more of a skeptical

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah,

Angeline Compau:

side of things

Rebecca Smith:

except for ghosts

Angeline Compau:

it has to be, has to be some sort of logical explanation for it. However, I guess ghosts. I don't know. Like, what do you think ghosts actually are just people that have died?

Rebecca Smith:

I would assume so.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah. Okay, so yeah, that's that. I don't know that just seems pretty likely.

Rebecca Smith:

That's what I wonder too. Like is a ghost actually could be an angel or something fighting for you or against you or

Angeline Compau:

Yeah, I don't know.

Rebecca Smith:

I don't know either.

Angeline Compau:

I just assume ghosts are like trapped in this world and they're trying to get to wherever they're supposed to go.

Rebecca Smith:

Well, then that implies that you believe in some type of Heaven or or hell

Angeline Compau:

that does. Which, that I don't believe in. So yeah, I guess that doesn't make sense.

Rebecca Smith:

See, I don't know

Angeline Compau:

I don't either.

Rebecca Smith:

That's I don't know how it all how it all connects together.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah.

Rebecca Smith:

It's like fragments of different things. Like I can take Yeah, this time. Yeah. This Yes. But do how do they all coexist together? I don't know.

Angeline Compau:

No, me either.

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah. Good talk.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah.

Rebecca Smith:

So that's Anneliese. Yeah, listen to podcasts. Watch that BuzzFeed thing. I'll post it on our Facebook, but it's really cool.

Angeline Compau:

I think my favorite murder did that too.

Rebecca Smith:

They did

Angeline Compau:

a while ago. Yeah,

Rebecca Smith:

it was

Angeline Compau:

I heard it

Rebecca Smith:

number 66 or something?

Angeline Compau:

Yeah. I was gonna say it was so long ago Yeah,

Rebecca Smith:

yeah. that I heard it. But I was like, I do remember vaguely hearing that story. What's funny is on that BuzzFeed one, the guy after they played that stuff, where she's saying all the names or whatever. He's like, I am the blonde guy from Die Hard. I am Heath Ledger's Joker.

Angeline Compau:

Oh my gosh. That's funny.

Rebecca Smith:

It was funny. That was a good little cute little YouTube thing. There was funny and yeah,

Angeline Compau:

I liked those buzz Buzzfeed guys there.

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah,

Angeline Compau:

they're funny.

Rebecca Smith:

Yeah, it was good. All right.

Angeline Compau:

I like that story. It's creepy.

Rebecca Smith:

It's creepy. I know. You're not in the mood. But that's my last one

Angeline Compau:

I was in the mood. I like creepy.

Rebecca Smith:

Oh, no, but I know you're in a mood today.

Angeline Compau:

Oh, I'm in a mood, but I'm in the mood for good stories

Rebecca Smith:

to be creeped out.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah,

Rebecca Smith:

okay.

Angeline Compau:

It's Halloween. I want to be creeped out.

Rebecca Smith:

I know. Alright, let's go to snack box.

Josh Smith:

I'd say check, but that'd just be rubbing it in at this point

Angeline Compau:

check. No, we have to check

Josh Smith:

If I didn't get that check in I'll be drinking that delicious coke that I won

Rebecca Smith:

Joshua if you burp into this microphone.

Josh Smith:

oh I can't help it

Rebecca Smith:

Angeline is gonna punch you in the face.

Josh Smith:

Aww, can't wait

Rebecca Smith:

She gets free reign to punch you in the face free rein.

Josh Smith:

I can't wait,

Rebecca Smith:

free reign.

Josh Smith:

I can't wait,

Angeline Compau:

I had to buy him a coke. Because he was right. He did check last week but I was not listening.

Josh Smith:

Let me slurp, clear my throat check.

Rebecca Smith:

Josh, Come on, stop it.

Angeline Compau:

That's hilarious

Josh Smith:

That's a delicious coke.

Rebecca Smith:

A delicious beverage

Angeline Compau:

in a glass bottle.

Rebecca Smith:

Mm hmm.

Angeline Compau:

that he poured it in a glass. You shouldn't drank it out of the bottle.

Josh Smith:

It's true. It's True.

Angeline Compau:

Why didn't you?

Josh Smith:

So I got a few topics. First off, I'd be remiss given the hat I'm wearing. If I didn't talk a little bit about one of the greatest football games that most people have ever had the chance to watch now. Here's the deal. I'm not a huge sports fan. I mean, I track Michigan State.

Angeline Compau:

What?

Josh Smith:

No, that's true ask Beck. I don't I don't watch a lot of sports.

Rebecca Smith:

Yes you do

Josh Smith:

I watch some sports? But you watched that game yesterday? Did you not enjoy the game? Was it not an exciting game?

Rebecca Smith:

Well, yeah, because everybody that I was watching it with was excited about it. But I told Did I not tell you afterwards, like, I really could have cared less about the outcome of the game.

Josh Smith:

That's a good point, I however, cared a lot about the outcome. And I would like to say that we were down 30 to 14. And then the team that Angeline supports which doesn't actually like her at all, like

Rebecca Smith:

it doesn't even count cuz she doesn't really support them. It's just cuz she went there.

Josh Smith:

Exactly.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah.

Josh Smith:

And they folded. They were like a wet paper sack.

Rebecca Smith:

Oh stop it, they were not

Josh Smith:

and ultimately, down 30 to 14, the Spartans came back and prevailed.

Rebecca Smith:

Yes. Can I tell you Angeline

Angeline Compau:

what

Rebecca Smith:

that Brian too is a Michigan fan and I got a message from him saying I'm not gonna listen to the podcast this week because I don't want to hear Josh talk about it.

Angeline Compau:

oh my god,

Josh Smith:

Ah so, Brian. I really hope you only listen to this part.

Rebecca Smith:

I told him he could fast forward through this

Josh Smith:

And fuck you too Brian

Rebecca Smith:

I told him he could fast forward through this part. I'm like just fast forward though Josh

Josh Smith:

Big shout out from Ortonville Michigan to Brian Go fuck yourself woo hoo

Rebecca Smith:

Josh, you are just like salt in the would

Josh Smith:

And fyi Angeline Go fuck yourself as well from Joe turnquist That's a special request from Joe turnquist going out from our lips from Joe turnquist That's a shout out to turnquist Angeline Go fuck yourself come on. that was awesome

Angeline Compau:

I don't care

Josh Smith:

and Joe said he would say that and he still says go fuck yourself.

Rebecca Smith:

stupid

Josh Smith:

good job Joe. Alright so a couple things here to talk about other than Michigan State's just huge victory. We're gonna talk about the Joe Ashley a Sideswipe today.

Rebecca Smith:

what?

Josh Smith:

sideswipe. I felt like he started a new war today. And I was backing out and he was backing out

Rebecca Smith:

Oh, That's right was it him?

Josh Smith:

Yeah, so I you know, I waived and he waived me so I pulled forward and then parallel parked because I was letting my wife out. And we live on a dirt road and it's muddy and there's mud puddles. And he drove very close, hit the bumps and tried to douche me today and did not succeed because he's lame. And he's too much of a pussy to get as close as he needed but

Rebecca Smith:

I heard him yell out did I get you?

Josh Smith:

He did not. But I would like to say that it does need a response so I'll have to think about that for a little bit. Anyway, Joe, Joe Ashley in a Sideswipe. Angeline, you look like you're high right now.

Angeline Compau:

I just wish you'd shut the fuck up is what I I don't know. wish you would do.

Josh Smith:

I thought I thought the whole point of this was for the curmudgeon corner to tal is that not the case?

Rebecca Smith:

She's in a mood today

Angeline Compau:

You're just annoying as fuck

Josh Smith:

Angeline is cranky today. super cranky.

Angeline Compau:

Oh my god.

Josh Smith:

Ah, Other one here so trunk or treat so I had a question.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah,

Josh Smith:

I don't understand there are no kids now and neighborhoods that go trick or treating. It's all trunk or treat. What happened?

Rebecca Smith:

That's not true.

Josh Smith:

We have no we have kids in this neighborhood I've never seen them

Rebecca Smith:

Ortonville is a neighborhood they just all do it there

Josh Smith:

in the downtown area

Rebecca Smith:

you really are gonna let your kid run wild on a fucking dirt road in the middle of nowhere with no street lights?

Angeline Compau:

Yeah,why what? Okay, yeah, your road you should, I don't know why you would ever

Rebecca Smith:

we lived in Grosse Pointe and there were trick or treaters all day long.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah,

Rebecca Smith:

that were not

Josh Smith:

You don't have thme in your neighborhood?

Angeline Compau:

No, I do in my neighborhood. They don't come to my house but our neighbor

Josh Smith:

why not to your house?

Rebecca Smith:

because she lives on a back road.

Angeline Compau:

Yeah, but we our neighborhood has trick or treaters

Josh Smith:

I miss that I think I would like to have trick or treaters.

Angeline Compau:

However

Rebecca Smith:

you don't live in a neighborhood like that though.

Angeline Compau:

I will say this whole trunk or treat fad. I don't care for

Josh Smith:

why is that?

Angeline Compau:

Because you are okay as an adult who pays for candy to hand out to kids? Why do I have to go to you to hand it out? You come to me come to my house, knock on my door. And then I'll give you candy

Josh Smith:

this is what I'm talking about

Angeline Compau:

work for it work for it.

Josh Smith:

I'm with her on this.

Angeline Compau:

Thank you.

Josh Smith:

Although she is really angry, folks, Greg, Greg Louganis. If you're in the area stop by we're gonna need you on this one the funk is growing. Emily Rose is sitting here and to my left.

Angeline Compau:

I don't want to leave my house and then I have to go decorate my car. So that you can come to my car that I no no. Then I have to give you candy. No, no, no.

Rebecca Smith:

Well, there's a clear solution to that is don't do it.

Angeline Compau:

Exactly. But then kids shouldn't get candy. Why? Why do they have to do it that way?

Rebecca Smith:

I personally would rather do something like that than have somebody come to my house. I don't like strangers knocking on my door. I'd rather go somewhere neutral. You don't need to know where I live. I'll give you some candy. You dress up Sure I'll dress up you dress up. Everybody's happy and you don't know where I live.

Angeline Compau:

It's not about knowing where you live.

Rebecca Smith:

No I don't like people being nosy and looking in my house and seeing what I have. When they come to your door they get you open the door I mean not where I am my doors off to the side but when we lived in grosse point. I was uncomfortable with it.

Angeline Compau:

Don't open your door then sit on your porch.

Rebecca Smith:

It's cold here. I could do that in Arizona but

Angeline Compau:

no put on a coat on your porch

Rebecca Smith:

no, I don't like the cold.

Josh Smith:

That's what my dad does. He sits on the porch not like the cold. And then hands out full candy bars, the bar full Snickers and full Hershey's

Angeline Compau:

It's tradition that you go in the neighborhood and you knock on doors and you ask for candy.

Josh Smith:

My mom wanted to handout cheese and crackers. My dad said Jane. These kids will torture our house for a year she wanted to hand out the cheese cracker packages, my dad said no we're getting candy.

Angeline Compau:

Okay if you're gonna trunk or treat handout, cheese and crackers, that's what you do

Josh Smith:

and then

Angeline Compau:

you don't want them to know where you live then

Josh Smith:

then to top it all off. My dad said he was sitting

Angeline Compau:

Going to bed? on the porch with his bucket. He only bought like 50 full size

Josh Smith:

Why are you that where you out late last night? candy bars. And he Ha he yells at me The house. Janey we might e short, there's a horde commin . So classic Bill and Jane. They had enough think god, then th y turned their light out a d went inside. I really d worry about you Angeline. You re not in a good mood. We don' know why you're not in a good

Angeline Compau:

No.

Josh Smith:

So what is your problem? mood. But here's what I suggest. Are you listening?

Angeline Compau:

I don't know.

Josh Smith:

Do you realize you have a problem?

Angeline Compau:

Yes.

Rebecca Smith:

She said that she earlier that she was in a mood

Josh Smith:

alright, but I get those moods all the time. Here's what we're gonna do.

Rebecca Smith:

No, you don't.

Josh Smith:

That's good point. Becky gets in those moods all the time, here's what we are gonna do. You just got to ease into a good mood. It's like trying on a pair of pants. Right? You just got to say I'm going to take these. Good. This good mood. I'm going to put this good mood pants on.

Angeline Compau:

Okay.

Rebecca Smith:

I don't know if you heard how she was talking earlier. You would be like, I don't know. Might be a lost cause.

Angeline Compau:

Might be.

Josh Smith:

Who are you upset at?

Angeline Compau:

Nobody

Rebecca Smith:

She's not upset at anybody. She's just in a bad mood.

Angeline Compau:

I just am in a mood.

Josh Smith:

How about this Dallas Cowboys are playing tonight.

Rebecca Smith:

She doesn't care about football. So stop talking about football.

Josh Smith:

But do you care about God's favorite team?

Rebecca Smith:

No. Nobody cares about God's favorite team.

Angeline Compau:

I feel like if God has a favorite football team, we're doomed.

Rebecca Smith:

Angeline what makes you happy? What can we talk about that makes you happy? Jasper, is it you?

Angeline Compau:

Yes.

Rebecca Smith:

No, it's not.

Josh Smith:

By the way. He's been pretty good tonight. He's not trying to get up in you

Angeline Compau:

no, he's been very good tonight.

Josh Smith:

So he knows you're in a bad mood. He's like, listen, I will try to help out.

Rebecca Smith:

Jasper knows when to back off.

Angeline Compau:

He does

Rebecca Smith:

of Angeline, unlike you over there.

Angeline Compau:

Maybe that's what it is.

Josh Smith:

I back off from Angeline what are you talking about?

Rebecca Smith:

No, we already had the Michigan conversation and you had to bring it up again.

Angeline Compau:

I don't care though.

Rebecca Smith:

I'm just saying it's annoying.

Angeline Compau:

I don't care.

Josh Smith:

I can't help it. That it happens once a year.

Rebecca Smith:

I'm annoyed.

Angeline Compau:

Thank God. I said that to somebody. I was like this is the worst time of year

Rebecca Smith:

Maybe I'm annoyed because I keep hearing it.

Josh Smith:

Don't you think it's a cool thing that the state of Michigan has a cool I mean, I think that's awesome that the state of Michigan

Rebecca Smith:

Every state has a cool rivalry. I don't understand, it's not just

Josh Smith:

Not every state

Rebecca Smith:

Yes they do ever do

Josh Smith:

in college, not every state.

Rebecca Smith:

Yes they do.

Josh Smith:

Alright, so let's talk about New York College Football. There's no state rivalry.

Angeline Compau:

Maybe they have it, we just don't know about it. Because we're not from there.

Rebecca Smith:

Exactly.

Josh Smith:

I don't think so

Rebecca Smith:

I know, Arizona does.

Josh Smith:

They do and they have a good one. I've been in the hotel for that one. And that was pretty cool. People were really upset. They were a little bit on edge. Yeah, that was cool. I like that. I'm worried about the show tonight. I feel like I'm off because I'm worried that Angeline's going to lose it stab Jasper in the eye

Angeline Compau:

no, i'd stab you first.

Josh Smith:

i You can stab me Don't stab the dog. Look at him.

Angeline Compau:

I like animals more than people I would never hurt an animal no.

Josh Smith:

It's a good point

Angeline Compau:

Yeah,

Josh Smith:

I'm off kilter have been thrown off of the show.

Rebecca Smith:

Did you have another topic that you'd like to

Angeline Compau:

why aren't we talking about your trunk or treat? When I agreed with you

Josh Smith:

I had trunk or treat Michigan State, which it was a

Rebecca Smith:

You're gonna mail in. topic just so you know. I had the Joe Ashley sideswipe. I had a solid weekend. Which, by the way, the peppers for those in the viewing audience that are gonna mail in in the next 10 to

Josh Smith:

I just put that out there because I don't think 15 minutes. I will send you the peppers. anybody will

Rebecca Smith:

comment you mean?

Josh Smith:

Comment. But I did make the peppers for my wife. And on the way out Angeline just go in the garage and take a real big whiff. See if you can like smell the spice in there.

Rebecca Smith:

What do you want people to do? Comment if they want peppers.

Josh Smith:

I think first off

Rebecca Smith:

Tell them what you're doing.

Josh Smith:

if Greg Louganis comments, he gets a batch of fresh pepper. We take the pepper and we it's habanero Thai dragon. Cayenne, jalapeno

Rebecca Smith:

I already promised jason I'd send him some too

Josh Smith:

and sweet yellow peppers. And you cut them and dehydrate them. They're all grown organically. And then you cut them and you hydrate them and you dry them out.

Rebecca Smith:

dehydrate them

Josh Smith:

dehydrate them. Sorry, not hydrate them. I'm gonna hydrate myself. And then you grind them up with the food processor and they make a pepper shaker. It's like that same No Thanks. Sounds very tasty pepper. You would get like the Pizza Hut when you were little like the red pepper grounds but it's a little bit hotter with a little more sweet taste in it. It's delicious wouldn't you say? would you like some Ange I'd say our chemistry's off tonight.

Angeline Compau:

Sorry, that is funny

Rebecca Smith:

Rebecca Smith:

No, it's during the it's their grand opening. Their opening that day, right?

Josh Smith:

So they haven't defined the time but I think it's gonna be like an all day event. I think they're gonna have taco trucks.

Rebecca Smith:

Oh,

Josh Smith:

I think they're gonna have a taco truck. They're gonna invite the Ferndale police because they're only a couple blocks away because that's a good thing to do. In and out, you know, probably some snacks by some you know, legal marijuana.

Rebecca Smith:

So you're saying it's not like a nighttime. It's not like an opening for you guys. It's grand opening to the public

So it's like Flint.

Angeline Compau:

It is like that, but they put a little more sauce on it and then they put cheese on it and I'm like,

Josh Smith:

Ah no, first of all, here's the deal when you go to a chili cook off whoever the douchebag is that has next to their chili a bowl of sour cream and onions and stuff to put on top. You already fucking lost because if you didn't put it in your chili to start with it doesn't fucking count. You guys look like you're playing Candy Crush over here.

Angeline Compau:

I'm trying to give you an image of what Skyline look at this crap. This is

Josh Smith:

That's a fucking chili Mac. I mean call it what it is at freshers and I'm okay with that. That's not right. No. That means your chili is so bad. You got to coat it with cheese.

Rebecca Smith:

Great. Well now that's on record so I'll have to cut that out.

Josh Smith:

But that'd be okay.

Angeline Compau:

Okay,

Josh Smith:

Angeline Compau:

Okay. All right. I'm having a fire.

It was like trying to ride a unicycle tonight. So, that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna turn this around.

Angeline Compau:

I didn't think that so much of this depended on me.

Angeline Compau:

That's right. Get out of here. Go away.

Josh Smith:

Speaking of that would you at least try the venison spaghetti that we made.
