Wakem It gets my day going.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It makes me lab.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one
oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Good morning, Schmitting, Good morning, I mean, welcome into the
final day of April. Again. They just cruise by. I
mean they might drag when you're in the middle of them. Man,
we're already talk in May of twenty twenty five, and
my brain can't count.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's like not even the months for me. I think
my kids have twenty six days of school left.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, when you put it into that
context like that, I completely forget that. It's like, oh,
May is here and then school is over.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Hey, you're done, You're done. We just I think Today
Today starts our A through Z countdown at my kids'
school to be out. John Today starts it like we're
just twenty six letters I'm figuring. I'm like, oh my gosh, Wow.
Figuring out my summer schedule came a lot quicker than
I thought it would.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's the celebritiescoop.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
On Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well NFL Legend. John Elway is in the middle of
investigation for a tragic accident after his longtime friend, former
agent and business partner, Jeff Spurbeck, allegedly fell off of
a golf cart and is now on life support. So
here is the deal. The two were with their wives
at the Stagecoach Music Festival over the weekend and they
(01:29):
were leaving a post party on a private golf course
when the accident happened. Law enforcement says they were on
a golf cart when Jeff fell off the back of
the moving vehicle, rolled and hit his head on asphalt,
suffering a traumatic injury. Paramedics and officers showed up. Elway
initially made the nine to one one call, but was
(01:50):
behind the wheel of the golf cart. Now, so far,
they're not saying there was any wrongdoing on John's part,
but this is really sad stuff because Jeff is in really,
really bad shape.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, this is just a terrible action. No, I was,
and for John Elway too. I know. Last night I
read the story and they had not confirmed whether or
not he was the one driving the vehicle this morning,
confirmed this morning. Because I mean, and then you throw
in the stage Coach Music festival and you start to
think was alcohol involved? Does that change anything? I mean,
it's a sad, sad story.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
We've got the first day of testimony in the highly
anticipated Kim Kardashian robbery. So this is what went down
during Paris Fashion Week back in twenty sixteen. The trial
officially started on Monday, but one of the suspects gave
testimony yesterday. This is seventy one year old Eunice Obbus.
If you haven't heard, they've been dubbed the Grandpa Robbers
(02:45):
because this group of ten, we're all in their seventies
and eighties when they broke into Kim's Paris apartment that
she'd been staying in for fashion week and made off
millions of dollars worth of jewelry. I did not know this.
I did act what they were really I did not realize.
Unics co authored a book about this back in twenty
(03:07):
twenty one titled I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian, in which he
first identified himself as one of the robbers behind this heist.
Since then, I was testifying that he had no role
in choosing the title. He claims it misrepresents his actions,
but does say he really really regrets his involvement and
the trauma that it caused. You think that maybe he's
(03:29):
a little nervous about the potential sentence he could get
passed down. He is one of ten people facing charges
in connection with this heist where the nine million dollars
worth of jewelry was stolen. And remember, in just a
couple of weeks we're actually going to see Kim in
Paris testifying for this. She has called it the most
traumatic moment of her entire life. So I'm sure you're
gonna be a lot nicer now.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I can't believe there were seventy and eighty years old,
Revel Roberts. This is like The Ocean's thirty or something
like that, when Brad Pitt and George Clooney or Jerryandrick.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
This is kind of a really nice story tribute to
the Lake Toby and Gig Bryan defaced with graffiti until
a lanker player stepped up to remedy this situation. So
the vandalism was just recently spotted. It's a piece depicting
the Laker's legend in uniform kissing his young daughter on
the cheek, covered in white paint and a graffiti tag.
(04:19):
Officers believe it is some kind of artist. Back and
forth beef happening, but just sad that it happens over
Kobe on something that took so much time to make.
Well Happy Ending Lakers superstar Luca Donjik has donated the
five thousand dollars that a fundraiser had actually been set
up to try and raise to restore the mural. It's
(04:41):
a really beautiful gesture. Everything is going to be covered,
he said. Listen, this has to be made right. This
is something that needs to remain in our community. So boom,
it's going to be fixed like that. I thought that
was very sweet. All of your celeb scoop at West
Michigan start dot house.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
All right, look, going to make your morning right now.
Feeling good on Starlinar five points seven. It's my and
Schmidty and this is pretty cool. Three Blonds brewing over
in South Haven, named after the three vanderse sisters. Well,
it's not just known for their beer and pizza now
they're known for their mascot as well. Here Schmitty because
they had a mama duck wander into the brewery over
(05:17):
there and then wind up laying her eggs. Randy Vandersey,
the father of the Blonds, explaining to Fox seventeen, exactly
what happened.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
And as we're getting ready to do the flowers in
the planner to get the igloo put away for winter
and get the outdoor bar opened up, one of our
clients goes, what are you going to do about duck duck?
And they said, what duck? Sure, the patio was a
vital part for profits, but you know how often do
you see a duck three feet off the ground in
a planner laying her eggs, trying to do her things?
(05:45):
So humanity takes over at that point.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, that's exactly what happened. That mamma Duck waddled into
the breweries outdoor patio area two weeks ago and began
doing the nesting, and Sarah Campbell and Ray just decided
they were going to talk about how to best take
hair of this duck. And it's old Fox seventeen. You
know what, they had to make sure that they did
everything they could to give this mama what she needed.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, we've done our best to protect her and just
make sure that she's able to do her little mommy
duties while gracing us with her presence.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
You certainly don't want to be the person that disrupted
the duck and cost her to abandon five eggs. And
this crew around here, if you meet the Blonde Squad,
you're gonna know they care about mother nature.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Via the Blonde Squad set up a whole perimeter around
the nest, including closing off part of it, gave the
duck a water source, and now Mama duck is expected
to lay her eggs the next seven to ten days.
If you want to get over there and.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
See, Okay, I love Three Blonds Brewery, I've gone a bunch.
And if you are not following Three Blondes Brewing on Instagram,
these women are some of the most fantastically creative social
media people I have ever seen. There, just positively fantastic.
Let's get to what happened yesterday. Mission twenty one on
(07:00):
the way it is another Mid Michigan honor flight that
left from West Michigan. Seventy seven veterans aboard this flight
that takes veterans to Washington, d C. To see monuments
built for them. For most of them, they would not
get the chance otherwise to be praised and thanked for
their service. This did include two World War II veterans
(07:22):
as well as six Korean gentlemen and Vietnam veterans. That's
who I want to talk about. Ishmael Figaroia is his name.
A Vietnam vet that came home, like most, with zero thanks.
Now he gets the opportunity to be greeted the way
a hero should be. When TV actually sat down with
Ishmael last week, right before he was going to board
(07:44):
yesterday's flight, and talking to him and his family about
the importance of this moment.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
I'm looking forward to it and deserve and they deserve
that recognition, and he's just, yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
He's my world.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Very cool. His family said, while they couldn't be here
for when he got home from Vietnam, they are really
really honored to be here for him returning from that
honor flight. So to all seventy seven veterans aboard, thank
you for your service.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Feeling good coming at you a couple of times today.
I always want to highlight people out there doing amazing things. Sir, right,
we'll do it again for you this morning nine to twenty.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
On Star Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It's the Celebritiescoop. On Star one oh five point.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Seven, actress Christina Ethelgate breaking down on the latest episode
of her Messy podcast, with Jamie Linn Sigler, admitting she
is really struggling with the fact that her dad has
passed away. This is something we had not heard yet.
She explains that he had actually passed just a few
(08:52):
days before recording this episode with guest Joanna Garcia Swisher.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
You're probably wondering where I'm like currying Ryno, I'm sorry,
my dad just passed way a week ago, so and
I'm oh, this is the first time I really cried.
I think kind of like I'm allowing myself to have
that yet too busy with this, too busy with that
we knew he was going to die. Does is that
an excuse for not feeling because you kind of know
that someone's going to go and he've said your goodbyes,
(09:18):
and but I'm like, literally, like before you came on,
Jamie was like, I hope this doesn't trigger and I'm like, no,
I'm going to be good.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
And now I'm like, insanely.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
No, I mean, really sad her dad, Robert was eighty two.
Fans already praising her for being so open, so vulnerable. Obviously,
she's spoken so much about her own health issues, but
fans also asking like, hey, this is a great opportunity,
let's do an episode on grief. That is what a
lot of people are talking about right now.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Well, based on how she is so eloquent and able
to help people talking about her als diagnosis, I'd imagine
she'd do a pretty good job at that too.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Then Affleck is naming his hip hop mount Rushmore. This
is a question that pops up quick of it in
celeb interviews, and it could be pretty tough, especially when
you think about all the way back and throwing it back.
What are those top names? He was out promoting his
Accountant two movie Here we Go.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
It depends if you're talking about historical or like I
think the Wayne should be on it. But I also
think that like we were talking about like Easy today
we're talking about like Jack, you know when we were young,
I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well, slick Rick or of course there's like Kendrick right.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Now, so you got lol, Wayne, Kendrick, slick Rick and Easy.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, I mean I kind of at random, but yeah,
I take that Mount Rushmore. I take that.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I'll take that Mount Rushmore. Sitting down with Complex magazine
for that that must be pretty stoked because we've heard
rumor Slick Rick is releasing a comeback album this year,
and then Lil Wayne is slated for his new drop
in tune.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I'm sure everyone was dying to know Ben Affleck's hip
hop thoughts.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I mean, I was. I agree on the Lil Wayne. Finally,
if you can believe it, Jack Black has hit the
Billboard Hot one hundred. Why oh, his Steve's Lava Chicken
song just officially charted.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Steve the mail chrisy'min now you have on the stag super.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Spicy It's time.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That track is just thirty four seconds in its original form,
which now breaks the record as the shortest Hot one
hundred hit ever by run time. That goes all the
way back to when the Billboard started in nineteen fifty eight.
Of that, of course from a Minecraft movie, but no
big deal for Jack. This is his second Hot one
(11:48):
hundred hit after Peaches from the Super Mario Brothers movie.
I was wondering, oh of your celept Scoop at West Michigan.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
STARTACA, good morning to you. It's back and schmitting. And
it was a windy night last night, and so that
means that it was musical at your place.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Well, it was two nights ago and it was really bad,
but then all day yesterday because I know, if you're
in West Michigan listening right now, you were looking at
like forty mile an hour winds, And I'm kind of thinking,
we do this? Am I the jerk? Am I the problem?
Because one of the like Golden Girls parts of my personality,
(12:22):
I love wind chimes. I never thought I'd be that
kind of person, but I do. I've got like two
or three of them around my house. I used to
think it was kind of an old lady thing. Yeah,
and now I'm like, I do. I love wind chimes.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
It's gonna become your old lady thing.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
But do you take them down? Because I gotta be honest.
I am list like I'm sleeping in bed two nights
ago and I'm like, gosh, that's really loud because with
that wind, all you can hear in my yard it's
like cli cli like. And I think it's important to
note here that I don't have the high pitched Hinkley one, Okay,
(13:01):
because I don't. I'm not done with those. Mine are
more of what I'd like to call a manly one.
A manly chime, so I wonder if it's less annoying.
But at one point I got up my alarm went
off at like five after three, and I was like,
I wonder if I should pop out there and like
take them down, because I live in a neighborhood where
you can I can hear wind chimes six seven yards down,
(13:23):
and when it's that kind of wind, I know that
like that sounds just traveling. And if somebody's sleeping with
their window open because it was a beautiful night, all
their hearing is like or like I'm bashing up against
the tree trunk where I've got them home?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Sorry, and AM like, am I the jerk? I just
can't stop picturing you as Helen Hunt's mom in Twister.
It's your aunt Aunt the windshimes and everything else around.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
So funny you say that, because that's exactly what our
coworker said. I had this conversation yesterday and our coworker, Brett,
was like, dude, it's because you love Twister as a kid,
and Aunt May had all those inventions and art pieces
in her front yard.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
The tornadoes man.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So I posted this to my Facebook and I posted
a video so people could have a pretty good idea
of what we're talking and I had very split reactions.
Mike said, yes, take them down, everyone hates that noise. Diane,
I would, but then Michael goes, isn't that why we
(14:27):
put them up to hear them in the wind? And
then David said I'd hang more of them and just
drown all your neighbors out. Like, I don't know, is
it me? Because our other coworker, Steve had a visceral
reaction to me, he said I would move. I hate
wind chimes so much. What he said, if there's a
slight breeze, it is too much chime. He can't stand them.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
What's the Is there a specific reason why? It's just
that that sound is over and over again, clanging that
doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it at all.
It's just randomness.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I like that. It's the tinkling that I don't like.
The ones that may you have to pee, And you
know what, my neighbor, like four doors down has those ones,
So I kind of felt like I could be.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Worse, you know what. The fun I had never thought
of a sound as being something that would make me
have to go pee, But I know exactly what you're
describing everyone knows exactly what you're discribing.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And now that we've had these windy days, you know
the people who have them you and you're kind of like,
you know, are you giving them a side? I like, hey,
maybe we take those down if we got a wind warning.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I don't know where I stand on this, but I'm
gonna say you're.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
The jerk six one six four five eight one oh
five seven? Am I the wind shie problem? Or are
they stunning? And everyone is lucky to live next.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
To me stelling a five points steven, Good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmidty And every Wednesday, well we owned
the joys and the fleshers of being a parent and
our weekly and Smitty, I said, this one involved underwear
and you have to get up super early, even earlier
than I do, and so I know that part of
(15:58):
your getting up routine has got to be some things
in the dark, right, would you say you're a a
ninja at this.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Point, trying not to wake anyone up.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, that's what I'm doing every single morning with my
wife in the room, and oftentimes that includes grabbing whatever
clothes I'm gonna wear for the day and then getting
into our bathroom for shower and all that stuff to
start the day. I was doing that on Monday, and
I just I'd grab some underwear and socks and stuff
out of the dirty clothes hamper, the clean clothes laundry
basket that comes back, took it into the bathroom, did
(16:26):
my business a shower, and I go to put on
my draw smitting like everyone two legs at a time,
and I realized that I had just tried to put
on my son's boxer briefs. It turns out, it turns
out man thighs and boy thighs are very different things.
And all you hear is I'm pulling it up is
the sounds of elastic snapping as I'd pull up black
(16:47):
boxer briefs, thinking they are mine, absolutely meant for the
type moody of a ten year old kid getting in there, SINDI.
I obviously rip these things wide open, and it was
fantastic because I'm like in my head, I'm thinking, oh
my gosh, I gotta go, I gotta go find another
one of these, and I just throw these underwear like
right there on the floor in the bathroom. So of course,
(17:08):
my lovely wife grabbed them in the morning on my
daily call from my son. The first words out of
his mouth are, hey, dad, thanks for turning my boxer
briefs into just boxers. They don't even fit me now.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, you gotta call out your dad for that one.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
These music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
All right, I'm not so sure about this beef. I
think it was just Jennifer Garner being her cute, funny self,
but fans are convinced she made a bit of a
dig at Blake Lively just months before all the drama
and it ends with us kicked off. So last year,
Garner famously reprised her role as Elektra for the summer
movie Deadpool, Deadpool and Wolverine, which of course also starred
(17:58):
Lively's husband Ryan Reynolds. Well. In a video shared to
Jennifer's Instagram, she did kind of a behind the scenes
look on set and how she kind of got back
to being Electra. For fans, it's one specific moment where
she's showing parts of the set and then walks up
to a statue of Elizabeth Olsen's Marvel character The scarlet witch.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
This is where I go to commune with Blake level
sees she's doing.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
So a lot of fans believe Garner was just being
silly on set, but it has really taken off on
TikTok with fans thinking she knew way back when that
Blake was going to be a problem and is labeling
her a witch in her own way.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I'm going to go ahead and say, you're the expert
here on girl Talksmitty, So what do you think?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Because it's Jennifer Garner, I have a really hard time.
If it was someone else, I'd be like, yeah, that's
petty and fabulous. So far, there's been no document a
drama between Garner and Lively, but once again it's gonna
have people talking Taylor Swift quoting Kanye West on a
jar of jam in a way that most fans think
(19:11):
was such a fabulous dig at Kanye. So here's the deal.
If you didn't know. Ed Sheeran has just launched a
new Instagram account called Teddy's Old Phone. He found a
ten year old cell phone of his and started uploading
pictures that he found on this phone, and one of
those was a jar of jam that Taylor had sent you,
of course, her best friend ed and on the jam
(19:34):
she wrote a note Yo, Ed, I'm really happy for
you and I'm gonna let you finish, but this is
the best jam of all time. Love tea cute right
like kind of an innuendo. He had dropped some new music,
good Jam, good Jam, but fans went absolutely wild for
that on Instagram yesterday.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
He's everywhere right now and I kind of love it.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Speaking of Kanye, this is interesting. He has released his
lost album Donda two, yesterday, dropping it on streaming services.
So here's the deal. Donda two date backs to early
twenty twenty two, so this thing is almost three years old.
Where he said he was going to be releasing a
sequel album that was supposed to arrive in February of
(20:14):
that year. It only came out on stem Player, that
streaming service. He was trying to make a thing and
we didn't really get to hear the whole thing. So
the current version that dropped yesterday, Donda two, kind of
features a lot of the same songs as Donda one.
He's got future collaborations on there. He's got a song
with ty Dolla sign. But here's where I think it
(20:35):
gets interesting. Jack Harlowe is featured on a track called
Louis Bag, and his ex wife Kim Kardashian can be
heard on sci Fi saying I married the best rapper
of all time. I think it's going to be fascinating
if we hear from artists that are like who whoa
whoa whoa? Yeah, I no longer want any kind of
(20:55):
connection to you. This is not okay.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I would love a long lost Kanye album the early
two thousands before he had lost his absolute mind.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, fans, we're disappointed too, because this wasn't really a
new album. A lot of the stuff is things we'd
already heard. All right, all of your celeb scoop at
West Michigan Star dot Com, Mack and Spinny.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I want to get you cheer in for our Grand
Rapids Griffins when they're at van Andelarena next Monday for
Game two with they're chase for a Calder Cup in
the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (21:19):

number two, but that's it. What do you think the
top answer was there?
Speaker 6 (24:12):
I was gonna say relationship, you.

Were gonna say relationships a significant other. Well, you know what, men,
Relationships is the top answer that I kept on saying.

go see our Grand Rapids Griffins in the playoffs.

Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I guess that was a tough one today. So morting
to you. It's Mack and Schmidty and I want to
talk about the plant or the tree in your life.
Schmitty that you have a love hate relationship with succulents. Ooh, succulents,
I know you're not much of a green thumb. You're
more of like a black thumb. You'd like to kill things.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
So I posted a video on Sunday of me attempting
to plant these. And I would like to thank all
of our star listeners that have checked in and been like, okay,
forty eight hours in, how we doing.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Because they sting still alive here. Photosynthesis is still happening
well for me SCHMITTI every spring, man, I look forward
to our magnolia tree poppied. It is so full and gorgeous.
I threw the photo actually up of what it looked
like just five days ago. I'm the twenty fourth of
this month, and there are hundreds of beautiful thick bulbs
(25:28):
all over this tree. And then right below it is
what it looked like yesterday after two days of wind.
And the fact that the season for those blooms is
like a week. Yeah, and it goes from being my
favorite tree in our yard at any point in the
year the instantly becoming just like this mess on the
ground that my kids can literally do like snow angels
(25:48):
in the pedals.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
With it's just and then the cleanup is it worth it?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
And they smell because the flowers all start rotting. I mean,
I literally couldn't go from you know, six to midnight
in any way or form with a tree other than
this one. Like it just bugs me every single year
to the point where I'm like, I don't even know
if I want this.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
And that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I only get a week where I'm absolutely in love
with it. The rest of the year's is the tree.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I loved loved at our old house, we had this
stunning red bud and they're so beautiful, but you get
a bloom and then you have probably a week and
a half maybe two to enjoy it. The difference there
is after that it just turns to these like hanging
purple beans, so it still looks cool, but it's not
nearly as stunning as it is for that like six days.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Plus it's never cool to have to pick up all
those things once they fall to the ground afterwards too.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Now red belts aren't as bad.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh jem yet I asked this online and Nikki said,
same thing happens to our big maple tree every year.
Sounds like she's got a Japanese maple, she says, turns
that beautiful red and then a windstorm comes just boom,
takes them all right away.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yeah, we have a Japanese maple at our old house
as well. I still like the color throughout the summer. Yeah,
we used to get we'd get like a decent month
of the deep bread.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
See, it's funny because that's a love hate relationship I
have with my neighbors planned because she makes hers always
look stunning. So we had a Jevity's babel that every
time we'd go past her house and'd be like, man,
she's really making ours look terrible.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
This is because they know how to do it. Rick Weist,
he has specific things planted that bloom at all different times.
I can't imagine. I would rather live amongst pea stone.
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
What is the plan that you just have that love
hate relationship and what are you dealing with it during
this springtime? We got to going on Facebook right now
at West Michigan Star. I want a fine point seven
time to get your feeling good right now. Matt and
Schmitty hanging out this morning. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Well?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I love love, love love when we get to see
some of the surprise visitors that pop up at Helen
DeVoss Children's Hospital. But when I saw this on the
Devas Children's Instagram yesterday, I really fangirled because none other
than Michigan born Grammy winning bluegrass singer, guitarist, songwriter Billy
(27:55):
Strings showed up. They shared a bunch of different moments.
Billy started with a special concert in the Bluegrass or
excuse me, blue blue grass studios they renamed with the
blue yeah, blue Glass they changed to blue Grass. Then
(28:18):
he went around and toured different patient rooms, He met
with families, put on different concerts on different floors. Super
cool moment. We absolutely adore Billy Strings and to be
able to see him live like that must have been
so cool for the patients. Well done, Billy, Well done,
Helen DeVos. Perfect partnership.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I mean that is kind of fitting that the blue
Glass Studios fit for the bluegrass.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah, I mean they changed it right. You can see
in the stories they put a little r over. It's
very very cute.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Schmitty. We talk about some pretty incredible animal rescue stories.
This one is nuts and has gained international attention as
a little Dashhound. A miniature dashound named Valerie has been
found alive after five hundred plus days in the Australian wilderness.
This is unbelievable. She's actually disappeared back in November of
(29:07):
twenty twenty three during a camping trip on Kangaroo Island,
of all places in the Australian wilderness, with her owners,
Georgia and Joshua. Now the couple had just left her
in the playpen while they went fishing and returned to
discover she had vanished. It's the Australian wilderness. I would
have assumed she was already eaten at that point in time,
but they put on one incredibly huge rescue effort that
(29:30):
wound up dedicating more than a thousand volunteer hours and
covered over five thousand kilometers again over more than a
year looking for this dog. One of the turns in
the case when Lisa Karen, who's a Kangala director the
nature reserve there that was in charge of finding this dog,
(29:50):
was wearing clothing scented with the owner's scent. As she
approached the dog, who was super cautious and wound up
sitting with her impetting vas until she was calm enough
to be finally secured and after more than five hundred days,
this dog was found.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, if you're not aware of what a doson is,
it's a wiener dog. It's the little wiener docks. Yeah,
so cute.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
But Schmidy, you've got to see actually, the snakes that
were around this thing. I mean you think of Australia
and just the gigantic spiders that are there. Did not
believe a dog this small would be found. Lisa Karen
who I mentioned that Kangala director who helped find the dog,
just talking about how unlikely it was.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Undoubtedly out there in the sixteen months or whatever, she
would have gone through a lot harsh winters, which we
didn't want to happen again. Summers. You know, you're not
being a fine water And it was only a matter
of time before this little girl did eventually pass away.
And that was you know, snakes, eagles or the eagles
were seen when she was thought to be in So yeah, incredible,
(30:56):
she's just amazing.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Little wiener dog in the Australian wilderness for five hundred
plus days. Good for Valorie, unreal feeling good comes at
you a couple times a day. I always want to
tell you about incredible things happen out there. We'll do
it tomorrow six forty five and nine twenty on Star
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six
am on Star one oh five point seven
Wakem It gets my day going.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It makes me lab.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one
oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Good morning, Schmitting, Good morning, I mean, welcome into the
final day of April. Again. They just cruise by. I
mean they might drag when you're in the middle of them. Man,
we're already talk in May of twenty twenty five, and
my brain can't count.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's like not even the months for me. I think
my kids have twenty six days of school left.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, when you put it into that
context like that, I completely forget that. It's like, oh,
May is here and then school is over.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Hey, you're done, You're done. We just I think Today
Today starts our A through Z countdown at my kids'
school to be out. John Today starts it like we're
just twenty six letters I'm figuring. I'm like, oh my gosh, Wow.
Figuring out my summer schedule came a lot quicker than
I thought it would.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's the celebritiescoop.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
On Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well NFL Legend. John Elway is in the middle of
investigation for a tragic accident after his longtime friend, former
agent and business partner, Jeff Spurbeck, allegedly fell off of
a golf cart and is now on life support. So
here is the deal. The two were with their wives
at the Stagecoach Music Festival over the weekend and they
(01:29):
were leaving a post party on a private golf course
when the accident happened. Law enforcement says they were on
a golf cart when Jeff fell off the back of
the moving vehicle, rolled and hit his head on asphalt,
suffering a traumatic injury. Paramedics and officers showed up. Elway
initially made the nine to one one call, but was
(01:50):
behind the wheel of the golf cart. Now, so far,
they're not saying there was any wrongdoing on John's part,
but this is really sad stuff because Jeff is in really,
really bad shape.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, this is just a terrible action. No, I was,
and for John Elway too. I know. Last night I
read the story and they had not confirmed whether or
not he was the one driving the vehicle this morning,
confirmed this morning. Because I mean, and then you throw
in the stage Coach Music festival and you start to
think was alcohol involved? Does that change anything? I mean,
it's a sad, sad story.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
We've got the first day of testimony in the highly
anticipated Kim Kardashian robbery. So this is what went down
during Paris Fashion Week back in twenty sixteen. The trial
officially started on Monday, but one of the suspects gave
testimony yesterday. This is seventy one year old Eunice Obbus.
If you haven't heard, they've been dubbed the Grandpa Robbers
(02:45):
because this group of ten, we're all in their seventies
and eighties when they broke into Kim's Paris apartment that
she'd been staying in for fashion week and made off
millions of dollars worth of jewelry. I did not know this.
I did act what they were really I did not realize.
Unics co authored a book about this back in twenty
(03:07):
twenty one titled I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian, in which he
first identified himself as one of the robbers behind this heist.
Since then, I was testifying that he had no role
in choosing the title. He claims it misrepresents his actions,
but does say he really really regrets his involvement and
the trauma that it caused. You think that maybe he's
(03:29):
a little nervous about the potential sentence he could get
passed down. He is one of ten people facing charges
in connection with this heist where the nine million dollars
worth of jewelry was stolen. And remember, in just a
couple of weeks we're actually going to see Kim in
Paris testifying for this. She has called it the most
traumatic moment of her entire life. So I'm sure you're
gonna be a lot nicer now.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I can't believe there were seventy and eighty years old,
Revel Roberts. This is like The Ocean's thirty or something
like that, when Brad Pitt and George Clooney or Jerryandrick.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
This is kind of a really nice story tribute to
the Lake Toby and Gig Bryan defaced with graffiti until
a lanker player stepped up to remedy this situation. So
the vandalism was just recently spotted. It's a piece depicting
the Laker's legend in uniform kissing his young daughter on
the cheek, covered in white paint and a graffiti tag.
(04:19):
Officers believe it is some kind of artist. Back and
forth beef happening, but just sad that it happens over
Kobe on something that took so much time to make.
Well Happy Ending Lakers superstar Luca Donjik has donated the
five thousand dollars that a fundraiser had actually been set
up to try and raise to restore the mural. It's
(04:41):
a really beautiful gesture. Everything is going to be covered,
he said. Listen, this has to be made right. This
is something that needs to remain in our community. So boom,
it's going to be fixed like that. I thought that
was very sweet. All of your celeb scoop at West
Michigan start dot house.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
All right, look, going to make your morning right now.
Feeling good on Starlinar five points seven. It's my and
Schmidty and this is pretty cool. Three Blonds brewing over
in South Haven, named after the three vanderse sisters. Well,
it's not just known for their beer and pizza now
they're known for their mascot as well. Here Schmitty because
they had a mama duck wander into the brewery over
(05:17):
there and then wind up laying her eggs. Randy Vandersey,
the father of the Blonds, explaining to Fox seventeen, exactly
what happened.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
And as we're getting ready to do the flowers in
the planner to get the igloo put away for winter
and get the outdoor bar opened up, one of our
clients goes, what are you going to do about duck duck?
And they said, what duck? Sure, the patio was a
vital part for profits, but you know how often do
you see a duck three feet off the ground in
a planner laying her eggs, trying to do her things?
(05:45):
So humanity takes over at that point.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, that's exactly what happened. That mamma Duck waddled into
the breweries outdoor patio area two weeks ago and began
doing the nesting, and Sarah Campbell and Ray just decided
they were going to talk about how to best take
hair of this duck. And it's old Fox seventeen. You
know what, they had to make sure that they did
everything they could to give this mama what she needed.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, we've done our best to protect her and just
make sure that she's able to do her little mommy
duties while gracing us with her presence.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
You certainly don't want to be the person that disrupted
the duck and cost her to abandon five eggs. And
this crew around here, if you meet the Blonde Squad,
you're gonna know they care about mother nature.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Via the Blonde Squad set up a whole perimeter around
the nest, including closing off part of it, gave the
duck a water source, and now Mama duck is expected
to lay her eggs the next seven to ten days.
If you want to get over there and.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
See, Okay, I love Three Blonds Brewery, I've gone a bunch.
And if you are not following Three Blondes Brewing on Instagram,
these women are some of the most fantastically creative social
media people I have ever seen. There, just positively fantastic.
Let's get to what happened yesterday. Mission twenty one on
(07:00):
the way it is another Mid Michigan honor flight that
left from West Michigan. Seventy seven veterans aboard this flight
that takes veterans to Washington, d C. To see monuments
built for them. For most of them, they would not
get the chance otherwise to be praised and thanked for
their service. This did include two World War II veterans
(07:22):
as well as six Korean gentlemen and Vietnam veterans. That's
who I want to talk about. Ishmael Figaroia is his name.
A Vietnam vet that came home, like most, with zero thanks.
Now he gets the opportunity to be greeted the way
a hero should be. When TV actually sat down with
Ishmael last week, right before he was going to board
(07:44):
yesterday's flight, and talking to him and his family about
the importance of this moment.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
I'm looking forward to it and deserve and they deserve
that recognition, and he's just, yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
He's my world.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Very cool. His family said, while they couldn't be here
for when he got home from Vietnam, they are really
really honored to be here for him returning from that
honor flight. So to all seventy seven veterans aboard, thank
you for your service.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Feeling good coming at you a couple of times today.
I always want to highlight people out there doing amazing things. Sir, right,
we'll do it again for you this morning nine to twenty.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
On Star Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It's the Celebritiescoop. On Star one oh five point.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Seven, actress Christina Ethelgate breaking down on the latest episode
of her Messy podcast, with Jamie Linn Sigler, admitting she
is really struggling with the fact that her dad has
passed away. This is something we had not heard yet.
She explains that he had actually passed just a few
(08:52):
days before recording this episode with guest Joanna Garcia Swisher.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
You're probably wondering where I'm like currying Ryno, I'm sorry,
my dad just passed way a week ago, so and
I'm oh, this is the first time I really cried.
I think kind of like I'm allowing myself to have
that yet too busy with this, too busy with that
we knew he was going to die. Does is that
an excuse for not feeling because you kind of know
that someone's going to go and he've said your goodbyes,
(09:18):
and but I'm like, literally, like before you came on,
Jamie was like, I hope this doesn't trigger and I'm like, no,
I'm going to be good.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
And now I'm like, insanely.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
No, I mean, really sad her dad, Robert was eighty two.
Fans already praising her for being so open, so vulnerable. Obviously,
she's spoken so much about her own health issues, but
fans also asking like, hey, this is a great opportunity,
let's do an episode on grief. That is what a
lot of people are talking about right now.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Well, based on how she is so eloquent and able
to help people talking about her als diagnosis, I'd imagine
she'd do a pretty good job at that too.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Then Affleck is naming his hip hop mount Rushmore. This
is a question that pops up quick of it in
celeb interviews, and it could be pretty tough, especially when
you think about all the way back and throwing it back.
What are those top names? He was out promoting his
Accountant two movie Here we Go.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
It depends if you're talking about historical or like I
think the Wayne should be on it. But I also
think that like we were talking about like Easy today
we're talking about like Jack, you know when we were young,
I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well, slick Rick or of course there's like Kendrick right.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Now, so you got lol, Wayne, Kendrick, slick Rick and Easy.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, I mean I kind of at random, but yeah,
I take that Mount Rushmore. I take that.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I'll take that Mount Rushmore. Sitting down with Complex magazine
for that that must be pretty stoked because we've heard
rumor Slick Rick is releasing a comeback album this year,
and then Lil Wayne is slated for his new drop
in tune.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I'm sure everyone was dying to know Ben Affleck's hip
hop thoughts.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I mean, I was. I agree on the Lil Wayne. Finally,
if you can believe it, Jack Black has hit the
Billboard Hot one hundred. Why oh, his Steve's Lava Chicken
song just officially charted.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Steve the mail chrisy'min now you have on the stag super.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Spicy It's time.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That track is just thirty four seconds in its original form,
which now breaks the record as the shortest Hot one
hundred hit ever by run time. That goes all the
way back to when the Billboard started in nineteen fifty eight.
Of that, of course from a Minecraft movie, but no
big deal for Jack. This is his second Hot one
(11:48):
hundred hit after Peaches from the Super Mario Brothers movie.
I was wondering, oh of your celept Scoop at West Michigan.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
STARTACA, good morning to you. It's back and schmitting. And
it was a windy night last night, and so that
means that it was musical at your place.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Well, it was two nights ago and it was really bad,
but then all day yesterday because I know, if you're
in West Michigan listening right now, you were looking at
like forty mile an hour winds, And I'm kind of thinking,
we do this? Am I the jerk? Am I the problem?
Because one of the like Golden Girls parts of my personality,
(12:22):
I love wind chimes. I never thought I'd be that
kind of person, but I do. I've got like two
or three of them around my house. I used to
think it was kind of an old lady thing. Yeah,
and now I'm like, I do. I love wind chimes.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
It's gonna become your old lady thing.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
But do you take them down? Because I gotta be honest.
I am list like I'm sleeping in bed two nights
ago and I'm like, gosh, that's really loud because with
that wind, all you can hear in my yard it's
like cli cli like. And I think it's important to
note here that I don't have the high pitched Hinkley one, Okay,
(13:01):
because I don't. I'm not done with those. Mine are
more of what I'd like to call a manly one.
A manly chime, so I wonder if it's less annoying.
But at one point I got up my alarm went
off at like five after three, and I was like,
I wonder if I should pop out there and like
take them down, because I live in a neighborhood where
you can I can hear wind chimes six seven yards down,
(13:23):
and when it's that kind of wind, I know that
like that sounds just traveling. And if somebody's sleeping with
their window open because it was a beautiful night, all
their hearing is like or like I'm bashing up against
the tree trunk where I've got them home?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Sorry, and AM like, am I the jerk? I just
can't stop picturing you as Helen Hunt's mom in Twister.
It's your aunt Aunt the windshimes and everything else around.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
So funny you say that, because that's exactly what our
coworker said. I had this conversation yesterday and our coworker, Brett,
was like, dude, it's because you love Twister as a kid,
and Aunt May had all those inventions and art pieces
in her front yard.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
The tornadoes man.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So I posted this to my Facebook and I posted
a video so people could have a pretty good idea
of what we're talking and I had very split reactions.
Mike said, yes, take them down, everyone hates that noise. Diane,
I would, but then Michael goes, isn't that why we
(14:27):
put them up to hear them in the wind? And
then David said I'd hang more of them and just
drown all your neighbors out. Like, I don't know, is
it me? Because our other coworker, Steve had a visceral
reaction to me, he said I would move. I hate
wind chimes so much. What he said, if there's a
slight breeze, it is too much chime. He can't stand them.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
What's the Is there a specific reason why? It's just
that that sound is over and over again, clanging that
doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it at all.
It's just randomness.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I like that. It's the tinkling that I don't like.
The ones that may you have to pee, And you
know what, my neighbor, like four doors down has those ones,
So I kind of felt like I could be.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Worse, you know what. The fun I had never thought
of a sound as being something that would make me
have to go pee, But I know exactly what you're
describing everyone knows exactly what you're discribing.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And now that we've had these windy days, you know
the people who have them you and you're kind of like,
you know, are you giving them a side? I like, hey,
maybe we take those down if we got a wind warning.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I don't know where I stand on this, but I'm
gonna say you're.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
The jerk six one six four five eight one oh
five seven? Am I the wind shie problem? Or are
they stunning? And everyone is lucky to live next.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
To me stelling a five points steven, Good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmidty And every Wednesday, well we owned
the joys and the fleshers of being a parent and
our weekly and Smitty, I said, this one involved underwear
and you have to get up super early, even earlier
than I do, and so I know that part of
(15:58):
your getting up routine has got to be some things
in the dark, right, would you say you're a a
ninja at this.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Point, trying not to wake anyone up.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, that's what I'm doing every single morning with my
wife in the room, and oftentimes that includes grabbing whatever
clothes I'm gonna wear for the day and then getting
into our bathroom for shower and all that stuff to
start the day. I was doing that on Monday, and
I just I'd grab some underwear and socks and stuff
out of the dirty clothes hamper, the clean clothes laundry
basket that comes back, took it into the bathroom, did
(16:26):
my business a shower, and I go to put on
my draw smitting like everyone two legs at a time,
and I realized that I had just tried to put
on my son's boxer briefs. It turns out, it turns
out man thighs and boy thighs are very different things.
And all you hear is I'm pulling it up is
the sounds of elastic snapping as I'd pull up black
(16:47):
boxer briefs, thinking they are mine, absolutely meant for the
type moody of a ten year old kid getting in there, SINDI.
I obviously rip these things wide open, and it was
fantastic because I'm like in my head, I'm thinking, oh
my gosh, I gotta go, I gotta go find another
one of these, and I just throw these underwear like
right there on the floor in the bathroom. So of course,
(17:08):
my lovely wife grabbed them in the morning on my
daily call from my son. The first words out of
his mouth are, hey, dad, thanks for turning my boxer
briefs into just boxers. They don't even fit me now.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, you gotta call out your dad for that one.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
These music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
All right, I'm not so sure about this beef. I
think it was just Jennifer Garner being her cute, funny self,
but fans are convinced she made a bit of a
dig at Blake Lively just months before all the drama
and it ends with us kicked off. So last year,
Garner famously reprised her role as Elektra for the summer
movie Deadpool, Deadpool and Wolverine, which of course also starred
(17:58):
Lively's husband Ryan Reynolds. Well. In a video shared to
Jennifer's Instagram, she did kind of a behind the scenes
look on set and how she kind of got back
to being Electra. For fans, it's one specific moment where
she's showing parts of the set and then walks up
to a statue of Elizabeth Olsen's Marvel character The scarlet witch.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
This is where I go to commune with Blake level
sees she's doing.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
So a lot of fans believe Garner was just being
silly on set, but it has really taken off on
TikTok with fans thinking she knew way back when that
Blake was going to be a problem and is labeling
her a witch in her own way.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I'm going to go ahead and say, you're the expert
here on girl Talksmitty, So what do you think?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Because it's Jennifer Garner, I have a really hard time.
If it was someone else, I'd be like, yeah, that's
petty and fabulous. So far, there's been no document a
drama between Garner and Lively, but once again it's gonna
have people talking Taylor Swift quoting Kanye West on a
jar of jam in a way that most fans think
(19:11):
was such a fabulous dig at Kanye. So here's the deal.
If you didn't know. Ed Sheeran has just launched a
new Instagram account called Teddy's Old Phone. He found a
ten year old cell phone of his and started uploading
pictures that he found on this phone, and one of
those was a jar of jam that Taylor had sent you,
of course, her best friend ed and on the jam
(19:34):
she wrote a note Yo, Ed, I'm really happy for
you and I'm gonna let you finish, but this is
the best jam of all time. Love tea cute right
like kind of an innuendo. He had dropped some new music,
good Jam, good Jam, but fans went absolutely wild for
that on Instagram yesterday.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
He's everywhere right now and I kind of love it.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Speaking of Kanye, this is interesting. He has released his
lost album Donda two, yesterday, dropping it on streaming services.
So here's the deal. Donda two date backs to early
twenty twenty two, so this thing is almost three years old.
Where he said he was going to be releasing a
sequel album that was supposed to arrive in February of
(20:14):
that year. It only came out on stem Player, that
streaming service. He was trying to make a thing and
we didn't really get to hear the whole thing. So
the current version that dropped yesterday, Donda two, kind of
features a lot of the same songs as Donda one.
He's got future collaborations on there. He's got a song
with ty Dolla sign. But here's where I think it
(20:35):
gets interesting. Jack Harlowe is featured on a track called
Louis Bag, and his ex wife Kim Kardashian can be
heard on sci Fi saying I married the best rapper
of all time. I think it's going to be fascinating
if we hear from artists that are like who whoa
whoa whoa? Yeah, I no longer want any kind of
(20:55):
connection to you. This is not okay.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I would love a long lost Kanye album the early
two thousands before he had lost his absolute mind.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, fans, we're disappointed too, because this wasn't really a
new album. A lot of the stuff is things we'd
already heard. All right, all of your celeb scoop at
West Michigan Star dot Com, Mack and Spinny.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I want to get you cheer in for our Grand
Rapids Griffins when they're at van Andelarena next Monday for
Game two with they're chase for a Calder Cup in
the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
All right, it's Battle of the Sexes. Question one hundred
women surveyed names something people have terrible.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Taste in Wilson's For a radio station, I'll set music
music if there live your subplace else one terrible.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Taste, all right six, one, six, four, five, eight, one
oh five seven caller seven. We are looking for that
number one answer. One hundred women surveyed name something people
have terrible taste in. If you get it, you are
going to Game two to cheer on our Griffins to
a hopeful w in playoff action. What's star? One oh
five point seven women?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Star? Who's this?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
David?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Sarah? You said, Cheryl Barah? Sarah, where are you coming
from today? Grand Sarah, Let's see if we can get
choked up of these Griffins playoff tickets. One hundred women.
We're asked to name something people have terrible taste in.
What do you think? Their top answer was you're going
with what clothing or style? Clothing or style? Yeah, some
(22:15):
people do have some terrible taste in that, but that's
the number two most common answer. I'm sorry, Sarah, thank you,
thank you? Hi. Star. Who's this?
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
This is Chelsea?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Chelsea? Where are you coming from today? All right? Sarah?
Just get me called Chelsea? And when one hundred women
were asked to name something people have terrible taste in,
she said what I was thinking actually, which was close
or style, But that was the number two most common answers.
You got a chance of these playoff tickets, Chelsea, what
do you think it is?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Let's go with food, restaurant food. Yeah it should be
you just have literal terrible taste. But that is not
on the list. I'm sorry, Chelsea.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
All right, thank you, thank.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You, Hi Star. Who's this I was going?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
This is Thomas from Great Records.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Thomas Thomas, Thomas. I've got a couple of good guesses,
but you know what, I haven't had a guy take
a guess yet. So let's see if we can get
it with Battle of the Sexes one hundred women. Thomas.
That's important, one hundred women. We're asked to name something
that people can have terrible taste in, and so far
I heard clothes or style, and I just heard also
actual taste, just terrible taste in food. So, Thomas, what
(23:27):
do you think the top answer is? Let's say movie movies?
You know what, if your wife is listening right now,
I hope she's not insulted because that felt personal. But
movies is not on the list. Thomas. I'm sorry, man already,
thank god, thank you, Hi Star. Who's this, Cayla. I've
gotten good guesses, but nobody's given me the top answer yet.
(23:47):
One hundred women, Kayla, that's important. One hundred women. We're
asked to name something people have terrible taste in so
far I heard clothes or style. I also heard food, like,
you've just got literal terrible taste. And I also just
heard movies. Yeah, some people just have weird movie picks,
but none of those were the top answer. Clothes was
(24:08):
number two, but that's it. What do you think the
top answer was there?
Speaker 6 (24:12):
I was gonna say relationship, you.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Were gonna say relationships a significant other. Well, you know what, men,
Relationships is the top answer that I kept on saying.
One hundred women. One hundred women, and yes, it was
in your partner number one, followed by clothes, then gifts
and rounding it out with decorating. So congratulations, you're gonna
(24:37):
go see our Grand Rapids Griffins in the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I guess that was a tough one today. So morting
to you. It's Mack and Schmidty and I want to
talk about the plant or the tree in your life.
Schmitty that you have a love hate relationship with succulents. Ooh, succulents,
I know you're not much of a green thumb. You're
more of like a black thumb. You'd like to kill things.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
So I posted a video on Sunday of me attempting
to plant these. And I would like to thank all
of our star listeners that have checked in and been like, okay,
forty eight hours in, how we doing.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Because they sting still alive here. Photosynthesis is still happening
well for me SCHMITTI every spring, man, I look forward
to our magnolia tree poppied. It is so full and gorgeous.
I threw the photo actually up of what it looked
like just five days ago. I'm the twenty fourth of
this month, and there are hundreds of beautiful thick bulbs
(25:28):
all over this tree. And then right below it is
what it looked like yesterday after two days of wind.
And the fact that the season for those blooms is
like a week. Yeah, and it goes from being my
favorite tree in our yard at any point in the
year the instantly becoming just like this mess on the
ground that my kids can literally do like snow angels
(25:48):
in the pedals.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
With it's just and then the cleanup is it worth it?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
And they smell because the flowers all start rotting. I mean,
I literally couldn't go from you know, six to midnight
in any way or form with a tree other than
this one. Like it just bugs me every single year
to the point where I'm like, I don't even know
if I want this.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
And that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I only get a week where I'm absolutely in love
with it. The rest of the year's is the tree.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I loved loved at our old house, we had this
stunning red bud and they're so beautiful, but you get
a bloom and then you have probably a week and
a half maybe two to enjoy it. The difference there
is after that it just turns to these like hanging
purple beans, so it still looks cool, but it's not
nearly as stunning as it is for that like six days.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Plus it's never cool to have to pick up all
those things once they fall to the ground afterwards too.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Now red belts aren't as bad.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh jem yet I asked this online and Nikki said,
same thing happens to our big maple tree every year.
Sounds like she's got a Japanese maple, she says, turns
that beautiful red and then a windstorm comes just boom,
takes them all right away.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yeah, we have a Japanese maple at our old house
as well. I still like the color throughout the summer. Yeah,
we used to get we'd get like a decent month
of the deep bread.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
See, it's funny because that's a love hate relationship I
have with my neighbors planned because she makes hers always
look stunning. So we had a Jevity's babel that every
time we'd go past her house and'd be like, man,
she's really making ours look terrible.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
This is because they know how to do it. Rick Weist,
he has specific things planted that bloom at all different times.
I can't imagine. I would rather live amongst pea stone.
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
What is the plan that you just have that love
hate relationship and what are you dealing with it during
this springtime? We got to going on Facebook right now
at West Michigan Star. I want a fine point seven
time to get your feeling good right now. Matt and
Schmitty hanging out this morning. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Well?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I love love, love love when we get to see
some of the surprise visitors that pop up at Helen
DeVoss Children's Hospital. But when I saw this on the
Devas Children's Instagram yesterday, I really fangirled because none other
than Michigan born Grammy winning bluegrass singer, guitarist, songwriter Billy
(27:55):
Strings showed up. They shared a bunch of different moments.
Billy started with a special concert in the Bluegrass or
excuse me, blue blue grass studios they renamed with the
blue yeah, blue Glass they changed to blue Grass. Then
(28:18):
he went around and toured different patient rooms, He met
with families, put on different concerts on different floors. Super
cool moment. We absolutely adore Billy Strings and to be
able to see him live like that must have been
so cool for the patients. Well done, Billy, Well done,
Helen DeVos. Perfect partnership.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I mean that is kind of fitting that the blue
Glass Studios fit for the bluegrass.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah, I mean they changed it right. You can see
in the stories they put a little r over. It's
very very cute.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Schmitty. We talk about some pretty incredible animal rescue stories.
This one is nuts and has gained international attention as
a little Dashhound. A miniature dashound named Valerie has been
found alive after five hundred plus days in the Australian wilderness.
This is unbelievable. She's actually disappeared back in November of
(29:07):
twenty twenty three during a camping trip on Kangaroo Island,
of all places in the Australian wilderness, with her owners,
Georgia and Joshua. Now the couple had just left her
in the playpen while they went fishing and returned to
discover she had vanished. It's the Australian wilderness. I would
have assumed she was already eaten at that point in time,
but they put on one incredibly huge rescue effort that
(29:30):
wound up dedicating more than a thousand volunteer hours and
covered over five thousand kilometers again over more than a
year looking for this dog. One of the turns in
the case when Lisa Karen, who's a Kangala director the
nature reserve there that was in charge of finding this dog,
(29:50):
was wearing clothing scented with the owner's scent. As she
approached the dog, who was super cautious and wound up
sitting with her impetting vas until she was calm enough
to be finally secured and after more than five hundred days,
this dog was found.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, if you're not aware of what a doson is,
it's a wiener dog. It's the little wiener docks. Yeah,
so cute.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
But Schmidy, you've got to see actually, the snakes that
were around this thing. I mean you think of Australia
and just the gigantic spiders that are there. Did not
believe a dog this small would be found. Lisa Karen
who I mentioned that Kangala director who helped find the dog,
just talking about how unlikely it was.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Undoubtedly out there in the sixteen months or whatever, she
would have gone through a lot harsh winters, which we
didn't want to happen again. Summers. You know, you're not
being a fine water And it was only a matter
of time before this little girl did eventually pass away.
And that was you know, snakes, eagles or the eagles
were seen when she was thought to be in So yeah, incredible,
(30:56):
she's just amazing.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Little wiener dog in the Australian wilderness for five hundred
plus days. Good for Valorie, unreal feeling good comes at
you a couple times a day. I always want to
tell you about incredible things happen out there. We'll do
it tomorrow six forty five and nine twenty on Star
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six
am on Star one oh five point seven
