Ry, good morning and for a few of you, happy

first time in a couple of months. I know we
welcome back GRPs today. I know Godwin is back. We've
got a few schools that are starting up, and hopefully
(00:38):
it is a very smooth start. I know last night
we kicked off the bedtime pullback. It did not go well.
It did not go well at all. So here's hoping

Movies, music and all the gossip in one.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, not surprising, just have to bring it up because
of course, Taylor Swift once again smashing records. People still
talking about her appearance on the New Heights podcast last Wednesday,
and it's now official. It's not only the biggest podcast
episode for New heights, the biggest YouTube stream and history.
She pulled in a record amount of live viewers. They
(01:24):
announced it over the weekend. At one point it peaked
at one point three million people all watching at the
same time. That is more than any other podcast has
garnered since the platform launched, the company calling it a
dedicated podcast experience. It's absolutely unbelievable. The brothers very thankful
(01:46):
as well. I'll have more on what Swifties are still
sleuthing out from that podcast up, including the rumor of
maybe another performance coming up.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I mean, that's an incredible number and to break a
YouTube record like that unbelievable. My only question when I
saw this, SCHMITTI was the keyl C Brothers are competitors, right.
How do they feel that the most successful episode of
their podcast is because my girlfriend'st by to talk about.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Her new album?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But also point out that Jason's wife has like the
top podcast like our iHeart apps, so you know they're
all out here killing it. If you missed out on
the chance to see that eminem produced documentary stands in theaters,
I am for.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Ever thankful for you. Diet.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
I do have an addiction to Eminem.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
I travel the world for him.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Your music is saving my life.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
What's your first question?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
This thing was so huge in its weekend long theatrical release.
It is coming to streaming services, it was announced over
the weekend. M himself has signed on with Paramount Plus,
so this is going to launch officially August twenty sixth,
And they're also saying there's going to be some never
before seen things in further eminem commentary in this release.
(02:59):
So that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I didn't have Paramount Plus. I'm happy to add that
to my list fills that I'm playing for.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And finally, Krispy Kream is getting a head start on
some Halloween feels dropping a Hairy Potter inspired donut collection.
This actually starts today. Fans of the magical series can
head to participating Krispy Kreme stores nationwide to get a
load of the five donut varieties. So here's the deal.
(03:27):
They're going to be doing the four houses, right, Gryffindor, Slytherin,
huffle Puffum, Ravenclaw. But then you get a fifth sorting
Hat donut, which is a filled donut containing a mystery
colored cream representing one of the four houses, then dipped
in chocolate flavored icy sprinkled with shimmering gold stars and
(03:50):
topped with gold sugar and a sorting hat piece. These
actually look pretty sweet.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
If you wanted to troll Harry Potter fans and you
were Krispy Kree, just make everyone a lyin. Oh, I've
left the sorting head call. Everybody is lytherin. I would
love to see them do that, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Of your slim scoob at West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Start hush stumming a fine points. Sevin, it's back and spitty,
always looking to bring a little positivity to your day.
And this is just I love stories like this. Hey,
just welcome a new member to West Michigan at a
McDonald's parking lot. Yes, that's right, we've got a lease.
And Kevin Rotunda rush into the hospital last weekends. As
(04:30):
she was a high risk pregnancy, having complications during her
first three pregnancies, well Alise planned to deliver her fourth
baby at Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo. Well fate had different plans,
actually wound up getting sent home because of a false alarm,
but then Sunday night, the contractions were back in a
big way. So Kevin got in the car knowing they
(04:52):
had no time to spare. He was driving one hundred
miles per hour, cutting a thirty minute drive to school
Craft in half. But he pulled into the McDonald's on
North Grand Street because things were happening. It was quiet
around three am. He called nine one one, but within
minutes an officer had pulled up, but the baby was
(05:12):
not waiting. They described the scene to would TV eight
listen to this? I got really nervous.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I just felt like we weren't going to make it.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Anybody that knows me knows I would be the last
person you would think to ever deliver a baby.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
He caught her.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
I had a huge sigh of relief when she honestly
just fell out and immediately started crying.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I'm just really really thankful that it went.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It went well, and if it had to be in
a McDonald's parking lot, then it had.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
To be there.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Alice and Kevin welcomed baby Matilda in the McDonald's parking
lot in Schoolcraft. As a matter of fact, on the
birth certificate for location of birth, it lists the address
of the McDonald's right there, because that's where it went down.
Baby Matilda seven pounds fourteen ouncers, doing great, family members
already giving her nicknames like Matilda and mctilly on there.
(06:03):
And as for baby Matilda, the parents schmeddie.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
You know I had to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Thought up up up uh schmetty a.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
All right, let's do this incredible video I saw over
the weekend. Sarah Rixum is a twenty three year old
camp counselor at a sleepaway camp on Cape Cod and
last week she knew it was going to be the
moment of summer camp. She had noticed the little hints
dropping that Taylor Swift was going to be joining her
boyfriend Travis on the New Heights podcast and immediately knew
(06:34):
something some kind of news was going to drop. But see,
she is at a camp where campers have no access
to the internet, no smartphones, no nothing, so any pop
culture news from the quote unquote outside world has to
come from the counselors. That's exactly what her and other
counselors did Thursday morning, after the big news dropped about
(06:57):
Taylor's new album.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I'm For Everything for You.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh sorry, guys.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Picture hit the regular sour doughs.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Imagine an entire cafeteria of about two hundred screaming girls
finding out Taylor is dropping a brand new album. The
video is magnificent. Got it for you at West Michigan
Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Something tells me that Arts and craft said camp that
day when immediately to friendship.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
This is way past starts and crafts. Man, this is
way pastarts and crafts.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
You know, this has been a rumor for a while,
but at least if you believe Swifties, there were quite
a few easter eggs dropped with Taylor's interview part of
That New Heights podcast last week that she maybe the
next Super Bowl halftime show. Here's what die hard fans believe.
Remember Taylor. One of the things she opened up about
(08:01):
was her love of baking bread, specifically sour dough.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
The regular sour doughs one of my favors. But the blueberry, yeah,
we do.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
There's a blueberry lemon, there's cinnamon swirl, cinnamon raisin, funfetti
sour dough.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Oh my gosh, you no, it will.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
It's going to blow their mind. So here's how they
connect this. The mascot at Levi's Stadium where Super Bowl
sixty is going to be held the San Francisco forty
nine ers beloved sour dough Sam. On top of that,
the tail and also pointed out Taylor said she is
thinking about all Paine labone sixty percent of the time.
(08:40):
Another nine to the big Game apparently. Here's other things
that the Swifties have pointed out. After Jason's epic intro,
Taylor thanked him for screaming for forty seven seconds, a
random number to throw out unless you realize Levi's Stadium
happens to be the forty seventh stop on her iconic
Eras tour. Swifties also talked about the fact that it
(09:02):
is Travis's thirteenth year in the NFL, that is Taylor's
favorite number, and the Niners hosting a big event. What's
four plus nine thirteen? They have deep dived, deep dived
into this and do believe that the next big announcement
coming from Taylor since she's got the time now that
the tour is wrapped, to really put on a showstopper
(09:25):
of a Super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I mean, she absolutely would be a home run obviously
for the NFL. But like the four plus nine of
the forty nine ers equally thirteen.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You think it's weird until you're talking about Taylor Swift
and I just don't think it's a stretch. I think
they had me at the Sourdough.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
The funny part is, is shwitty are you? And I
don't You have friends that are into sourdale making, right?
Like I have friends that are in their thirties and
forties now that think baking sourdale bread is the coolest
thing ever, and they do it all the time. Though
I think I kind.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Of lost it a few years ago. I think if
your Taylor's and you're talking sour dough, Brett, I gotta
give it to you, Swifties. I would not be surprised
if that is exactly the egg she lays for the
Super Bowl halftime show. He maybe one of Hollywood's most
recognizable stars, but Leondo Dio DiCaprio says he has one
major regret in his decades long career. He sat down
(10:17):
for an interview with Esquire and talked about the fact
he wished he'd joined Boogie Knights. That's right, DiCaprio, telling
famed director Paul Thomas Anderson, my biggest regret is not
doing boogie nights. It was a profound movie of my generation.
I can't imagine anyone but Mark Wahlberg in it. And
when I finally got to see that movie, I just
(10:38):
thought it was a masterpiece. It's ironic that you're the
person asking the question about regrets, but it's absolutely true.
He said he turned down the role because he was
already committed to filming Titanic, so he wound up pretty
fine after all.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, I think his career turned out okay because of Titanic.
It would have been a little different if it was
Leo playing Dirk Daegler. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
A Bookie night finally, a big celebsiting over the weekend.
It was a sold out vanandel krowd for comedian Shane Gillis.
If you're not aware, here's some of this really good stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Picture hitter and Bookie.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Hey, Bookie is what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend
before bedtime.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Well, he made sure to pop into one of our
favorite spots, that's right, the Saturday Night Live alum Ate
dinner at Butcher's Union. It was very very cool. Of course,
he had a big show in Detroit on Friday before
heading here on Saturday night and was super kind. I
love hearing this about celebrities. He was super super polite,
took pictures with everybody on staff, actually posted to his
(11:44):
own social media about it, and Butcher's union just super
super thankful for drawing some local love. So I thought
that was awesome. I've got your pictures up with your
scoop at West Michigan start OCA.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Good morning too, It's Mack and schmiddeen. Happy first day
of school. I know, school's like Easter Rapids, Grand Rapids, Public, Grandville,
going back.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, and now good luck too. I think almost all
the time, with only a half day today, because that's
always super awesome for scheduling parents. So I thought it
would be really fun to talk about your most vivid
memory from a first day of school. Maybe it's yours
from you know, forty years ago, or maybe it's something
with your kids. Because over the weekend, Chris and I
(12:24):
went out to celebrate our ten year wedding an anniversary
back on Friday. Yeah, we were talking about it on
the show and we kind of wanted to do a
little bit of our all of our old haunts, and
we both went to Grand Valley. I know they start
classes a week from today, and I was like, this
is so wild because things have changed drastically since we
were coming downtown and partying on Ionia Street versus now.
(12:49):
And it was so interesting to kind of talk about
that because I remember my very first day of school
at Grand Valley. It was a Monday, and I had
a six to eight pm class. It was really excited
because it was my first communications class. I knew going
into school I wanted to do broadcasting. I knew I
wanted to do journalism and I could not wait. And
I had like the hardest, hardest time transitioning to college life.
(13:13):
I desperately missed my parents, I missed Lancing. I was like,
I can't do this. I'm gonna move home. I'm going
to just go to Michigan State. And it was so
I just remember being so homesick. And then I went
to that very first class and I was like, this
isn't working. I'm not doing this right. I'm not cut
out for this. And it ended up being the class
that I first met Chris, and like, looking back on
(13:37):
the way he looked at me in that class, because
the only reason I met him is we got put
into a group project that lasted the entire semester. That
night we all got put into groups, and that's the
very first time I met him, and he was like, man,
I was just so blown away, like you were so
confident and you were so smart. And I was like really,
because I had sobbed for seven hours before that class.
(13:58):
And I just thought it would be a really great
reminder if you are a parent that's maybe struggling today
because you have the kids going back, or it's a
really big going back it's kindergarten, or it's the first
day of high school, or you're moving kids in. I
saw a ton of people over the weekend talking about
getting dorm rooms ready, and you're sending them either back
for another year, which means you're maybe an empty nester
(14:20):
once again or for the very first time. And I
just thought I'd say, it's gonna work out great. Your
kids are gonna do great. And even in those moments
of like homesick, sadness or fear or wow, this is
really scary because it's something new. You're not generally scared
unless it's something really exciting, and it's gonna be a
(14:41):
fabulous year. And that's that is what I'm manifesting for
everybody that's back today, because it was really fun to
be at all of these different places on Friday night
with Chris, all these things that we had done together,
and it never would have happened had I not had
that really really scary first day of school.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
That's a super sweet yeah origin story. Yeah you will
for you and Chris. I think that's awesome and a
grade first day of school. I hope that those wise
words that you just shared with parents are heard by
my brother and sister in law, Danielle and Jay, whose
son JJ, my nephew off to kindergarten for the.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
First That's a tough one. Yeah, I'm striking out because
we've got preschool. I think the third time Sophia started
at preschool because she did two threes and now she's
going to be in fours. But she's going to a
brand new school. He's going to a brand new school.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
She's going to own that place.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I just know it's going to be a week of emotion.
And I also want to add, if you're the parent
feeling none of that because you're so excited they're gone,
that is perfectly normal and healthy as well. You did it,
You did your job. This summer, and you know what,
the professionals are back on board.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
You know that first message was for my in laws
and my nephew going to kindergarten. That second message was
for my wife for sure, who works at home and
is just like Jesus.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
We can be happy. If you want to kiss the
bus driver. I don't know if I go that far,
but like a high five, at least allow perfectly fine.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
Here are the facts with human torch was denied at
bankloadine good Chaine, stelling a fine point seven maybe the
week's least important news, but we give it to you
all the same.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It is a fresh batch of adine.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Like I said, cat people, maybe you already realize this,
but according to researchers at Oregon State University, your cat
actually thinks you are their child, not the other way around.
So when it grooms you, curls up next to you,
or follows you around, it thinks that you're not emotionally
capable of living life on your own.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I knew they were judging us. Australian man says he's
the world's only coffin confessor. This guy named Bill Edgar
gets booked to go to people's funerals and tell their
family members secrets of the person who just passed away
for a sixty seven hundred dollars feet. I saw this shmitty,
(16:57):
and I saw when I saw it was working one
day a month for eighty grand a year and learning
people's deepest don't you.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Being a guy on YouTube? No Bob breaks bad news.
People pay him to do that, and he is making
a killing. Oh no pun intended.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
J'all updating my resume now.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Adult pacifiers are now trending in China as a way
to cope with stress and anxiety, that's right, ranging from
ten to five hundred dollars, and they are being used
as something called regression phenomenon where you find the comfort
of childhood the only way to survive life.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
We're all going to be schucking on bankies again. Great
virus in Colorado creating Frankenstein rabbits with tentacle like growths
on their faces. Schmiddy, Yeah, rabbits in Colorado have got
this peculiar black tentacle like growth coming out of their faces,
causing concern among residents. Health officials advice giving the infected
(17:58):
rabbits some space. They got to get this figured out.
Or else Easter is going to be a straight up
horror movie. That's all I know.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Goodbye, a police in canine Police Canine in Michigan has
gone viral after being accused of stealing an officer's lunch.
The Why and not Police Department please drop this mugshot
and legit Ice is his name? Looks absolutely stunned the
department joke. Stealing is not only a crime, but morally wrong,
(18:25):
and at one point Ice had even been spotted snatching
food directly from coworkers' hands. I only do this because
you've got to go to our Instagram and see the mugshot.
It's the cutest dang thing you're going to see today.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Goodbye. Finally, SCHMIDDI a story that you would have thought
was from twenty years ago. At least. AOL to end
its iconic dial up service this September after over thirty years.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Dude, our audience is shook about this. I did an
entire conversation last week and had people call in with
what they missed most about nostalgic AOL And we really
really do think dial up garner's back to a simpler time,
you know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Getting those CDs in the mail, It might have been
Jon mail, but it was still cool to get mail period.
That's this week's headlines. You ever seen any great ones
out there, always send them our way at West Michigan Stock.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Moodi's music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well, it's definitely not the Taylor Swift fan I would
have thought was so overly passionate about the singer. But
former FBI director James Comey has revealed in a slightly
bizarre video posted to his sub stack yesterday, his new
coping mechanism to deal with all of the political drama,
(19:44):
including some of that bad blood. With President Trump listening
to his favorite singer Taylor Swift, I want to talk.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
About a truly inspirational public figure named Taylor Swift. Of
course I watched her podcast interview with the Kelsey Brothers.
You see Taylor Swift and I go way back. I
went to my first concert of hers fifteen years ago.
I've been to a second, and I have helped financially
support the attendance of a lot of family members. And
I know all her music and I listened to it
on my headphones when I cut the grass. So yes,
(20:13):
I have a favorite of hers, although honestly, for me,
it's a tie between All Too Well ten minute version
and Exile featuring Bony.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Verir so interesting. He talked more about how she discussed
not giving people your energy if they don't deserve it,
think of your energy as if it's expensive. He said
that really stuck with me, and he said that it's
just the way she talks about shaking it off and
(20:41):
not letting these things bother you. I don't know if
that'll help. As you know, Comy is possibly under investigation
by the Justice Department, and maybe the Taylor Swift music
will really calm them down.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
No, I don't think this Karra Justice Department is swifties.
I think they're anti I mean calling him down.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Like in the midst of it, the whole sub stack
is linked up. It's a very interesting conversation at West
Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I just liked that he went with the ten minute
version of All Too Well.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
All right, this is kind of a terrifying moment. On
Friday at Wrigley Field, it was the seventh inning stretch
as the Cubs were taking on the Pirates, and in
fact Star Wars actor Hayden Christiansen stepped up to the
mic alongside his daughter for take me out to the ballgame.
But the only thing that could outdo Anakin Skywalker.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
This ubs, this scary book. This was very scary.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Apparently the Chicago Air and Water Show forgot to tell
the Cubs organization that they were going to be doing
a little flyover. Absolute pandemonium at Wrigley. Video from the
dugout shows multiple Cubs players jumping into each other's arms.
In fact, infielder Justin Turner actually dove on the floor
(22:00):
and covered his head with a helmet. Even the announcers
you could hear, went whoa okay uh. No word on
why there wasn't some more communication, But fans got quite
a show.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Did Anakin go ahead and sing the song afterwards?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I mean unaffected? Unaffected as true Anakin would be. Finally,
sports fans with some dough to drop are currently in
quite a bidding war over a one of a kind
Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant baseball card expected to sell
Forget this over six million dollars. It's from the seven
(22:36):
eight Upper Deck Exquisite Collection. It features autographs, from each
basketball legend alongside NBA logo patches. This is insane. It's
from heritage auctions. So far it's got a bid of
six point one million dollars and it's still going. According
to sports historians, this could be the biggest piece of
(22:58):
sports memorabilia in history.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Just to be clear, it's made of cardboard and its
actual value is less than a.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Dollar six million dollars. All right, all of your celeb
Scoopa West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Com Battle of the Sexes right now in your chance,
you get over to our Grand Rapids Public Museum to
see these sharks exhibit going on through the end of
the month's binny, and you mentioned that there is a
test that will tell you what kind of shark.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
You actually are.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I got a whale shark.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Did do that make you mad?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
It did? It would if it didn't track so perfectly,
tracked me perfectly.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
The exhibit goes through August thirty. First, you have today's
number one answer. We're going to get you and the
family to the Grand Rapids Public Museum. We've got one
hundred women surveyed, name and exercise that gym teachers make
you do.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
An exercise that gym teachers make you do.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
You kids still climb the rope? That gotten too dangerous?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I think it must be too dangerous now. That's exactly
where I went to as well, because I used to
think how insane it was that they let us all
climb like thirty feet up into the rap of your
gym every year.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
But that is the only time I saw an ambulance
in real life. We had one take a fall. That's terrible, Tyler.
I think he's okay in life now. But you never forget.
You never forget. Six one, six, four, five, eight, one
oh five seven. One hundred women surveyed name an exercise
gym teachers make you do? Got the number one answer.
(24:21):
We're looking for callers seven to score Grand Rapids Public
Museum passes to check out Sharks.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Good morning star, who's this three?
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Three?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Where are you calling from today? Collin? All right, Bray,
let's get you these tickets for our Grand Rapids Public
Museum and the Sharks exhibit. Gotta tell me. One hundred
women were asked name and exercise gym teachers made you do?
Sit up? Sit ups? Yes, I know. They just brought
back the National Fitness Test. How many sit ups. Do
you remember doing in a minute back in the day.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Oh my gosh, maybe like twenty, But that was when
I was young. You know what.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
We used to drive me crazies. You know, I would
do pretty good dd the sit up category. But then
they're some kid that would literally get like seventy of
them in in a minute. It's like, how do you
do one faster than one per second? I don't understand,
but sit ups is the top answer. When don't go
kicking off the week with a win of four tickets
for a Grand Rappids Public Museum, going to check out
(25:17):
that awesome sharks exhibit. Well done, awesome, thank you for
the record. It was sit ups followed by pull ups,
then jumping jacks and push ups, rounding out those top
four answers. Something tells me year kids will be doing
a little bit of all of those things this year
for sure. But enjoy it and congratulations all week long.
More chances to win these Grand Rapids Public Museum tickets.
(25:38):
When we played Battle of the Sex is eight fifteen
each weekday Here on it, Starck, come on it too.
It's Mack and Schmidty, and of course some kids going
back to school across West Michigan. Everybody over the next
couple of weeks here and so very common thing on
the first day of school, especially in the younger grades.
I felt like schmidty was what was the highlight of
your summer? Everybody? Sometimes you'd have to write about it.
(25:59):
Sometimes you'd have to stay up in front of the
class and sort of talk about it. But no matter
what age your kids are, I would like to know
what you think they would say was the highlight of
their summer. Cause my son, he told the stars and
we just got back from vacation to the up it
was phenomenal. We did all of the things. However, the
highlight for him was to kwaminin fallse and we told
(26:19):
you know, I asked him, I'm like, you know, what
was the thing that you loved this summer the most
that you want to tell people about. He's like, oh,
corominin Falls. My daughter said the same thing. They had
a blast up there playing in the falls like crazy.
And I go, oh, you just want to tell him
how you know he gets to play in the waterfalls
and all that kind of stuff with your dog, and
he goes, no, I want to tell people how I
almost died.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
That's exactly how my ksandle is, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And he goes, well, when we tried to get out
to the Middle Waterfall, I screamed, Dad, my feet almost
slipped out from under me. I saw my life flash
before my eyes. And I'm like, buddy, you were fine.
I'm like, I was right there, and he goes, Dad,
if the water would have gotten under my feet a
little more, I'd have been swept down river. It's like,
I almost die. I will tell people about that, so.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You can go back. What Wednesday do you think the
knock on the door will come Wednesday afternoon from the
authorities or not until Thursday?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
He says, he's still experiencing some traumas. What do you
think your kids would come wish middy as that first
day of school.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I can tell you Will is going to tell his teachers.
We let him ride his bike the furthest Ever by himself.
He got to go all the way on the sidewalk
of a busy road. So it doesn't matter where we traveled,
what we did taking him to a rooftop overlooking Traverse
Bay that a couple of weeks ago. No, it's going
to be the fact that he was allowed to ride
his bike all the way on the sidewalk with a
(27:39):
busy street.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
You thought to yourself, like, oh, you know, I want
to make all these special summer memories.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Spend money while little kids.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Right, You're like, all I really had to do is
just let off the rains and give him so.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
You could have gotten a great flavored dundum if that
is what he would have told.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Someone point seven, look at a push a little positivity
in your direction. Macka right now, I'm feeling good.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh I just love love. You know. Oftentimes you hear
him talking about his players, or his strategy, or a
win or a loss behind that press conference pulpit. But
for coach Dan Campbell of the Detroit Lions, there is
one person that everything comes down to, and it is
his wife, Holly, who, in the last couple of years
has really given an inside look at the couple's relationship
(28:23):
off the field. Her instagram is full of moments like
movie theater nights with the kids, taking their daughter back
to college, even Dan's Sunday coffee order. He sat down
with ABC seven in Detroit and talked about what it
really means after twenty five years of marriage to have
his biggest cheerleaders still by his side.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Well, she meant the world.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
I mean, this is not an easy life, you know,
And I think sometimes that doesn't come through because you're
seeing the best of the times, right, the best of times,
all these great and man to be a coach's wife,
it's hard, it's hard, and she was a player's wife
for a while, but then you know, coach's wife over
this last decade or more, and so she's had to
(29:08):
go through a lot of you know, the ups and downs,
the laughter, the tears, the me not being around and
you know, and so for her to just stay, you know,
stay strong, stay with me, be my rock has been unbelievable.
So you know, I owe her everything.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Really, I just thought it was too sweet not to
highlight that moment. But two of them just seemed like
absolute love birds after all of this time and two
older children. It's so cool to see him just so
excited to bring her up in interviews.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
It is really sweet way to do that. Major husband points.
Absolutely all right, spitty, let's go from my lions to
your bears real quick. And a former Michigan Wolverine who's
gone viral. Do you remember when Aiden Hutchinson for the
Lions went viral for his Michael Jackson Billy Jean performance
in front of the end your Team. Well, that continues
(30:01):
for former Michigan players in the NFL tradition of having
a rookie step up in front of their entire team
and perform a song. Colston Loveland, who helped Michigan Wolverine's
been a national champion, now a first round draft pick
for the Chicago Bears, went with Marios let Me Love You.
That has gone absolutely viral. Was complete with dance moves
(30:44):
that had the entire Bears team just going absolutely nuts.
He said, that was just a song I've been listening
to forever, and it was something I actually knew. I
knew I could sing it without an instrumental if I
had to. I felt confident and it showed. Jittie, it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
I'll just take a happy stroke locker room anyway you
need to make that happen.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I'm feeling good. Always come and ask you to share
something awesome with you. We'll do it again tomorrow, six
forty five and nine twenty. Every weekday here on Star,
Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday starting at six
am on Star one oh five point seven
Wake.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It gets my day going.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
It makes me laugh.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
It Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one
oh five point seven. Man, it's been two weeks too
many since I can say come horning.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Ry, good morning and for a few of you, happy
back to school? Is it a little rough with that
six am alarm going off? I'm mostly talking to mom
and Dad, who are suddenly doing the juggling for the
first time in a couple of months. I know we
welcome back GRPs today. I know Godwin is back. We've
got a few schools that are starting up, and hopefully
(00:38):
it is a very smooth start. I know last night
we kicked off the bedtime pullback. It did not go well.
It did not go well at all. So here's hoping
today is smooth. For those of you that are headed in.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Place, it's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five
point seven.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, not surprising, just have to bring it up because
of course, Taylor Swift once again smashing records. People still
talking about her appearance on the New Heights podcast last Wednesday,
and it's now official. It's not only the biggest podcast
episode for New heights, the biggest YouTube stream and history.
She pulled in a record amount of live viewers. They
(01:24):
announced it over the weekend. At one point it peaked
at one point three million people all watching at the
same time. That is more than any other podcast has
garnered since the platform launched, the company calling it a
dedicated podcast experience. It's absolutely unbelievable. The brothers very thankful
(01:46):
as well. I'll have more on what Swifties are still
sleuthing out from that podcast up, including the rumor of
maybe another performance coming up.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I mean, that's an incredible number and to break a
YouTube record like that unbelievable. My only question when I
saw this, SCHMITTI was the keyl C Brothers are competitors, right.
How do they feel that the most successful episode of
their podcast is because my girlfriend'st by to talk about.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Her new album?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But also point out that Jason's wife has like the
top podcast like our iHeart apps, so you know they're
all out here killing it. If you missed out on
the chance to see that eminem produced documentary stands in theaters,
I am for.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Ever thankful for you. Diet.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
I do have an addiction to Eminem.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
I travel the world for him.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Your music is saving my life.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
What's your first question?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
This thing was so huge in its weekend long theatrical release.
It is coming to streaming services, it was announced over
the weekend. M himself has signed on with Paramount Plus,
so this is going to launch officially August twenty sixth,
And they're also saying there's going to be some never
before seen things in further eminem commentary in this release.
(02:59):
So that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I didn't have Paramount Plus. I'm happy to add that
to my list fills that I'm playing for.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And finally, Krispy Kream is getting a head start on
some Halloween feels dropping a Hairy Potter inspired donut collection.
This actually starts today. Fans of the magical series can
head to participating Krispy Kreme stores nationwide to get a
load of the five donut varieties. So here's the deal.
(03:27):
They're going to be doing the four houses, right, Gryffindor, Slytherin,
huffle Puffum, Ravenclaw. But then you get a fifth sorting
Hat donut, which is a filled donut containing a mystery
colored cream representing one of the four houses, then dipped
in chocolate flavored icy sprinkled with shimmering gold stars and
(03:50):
topped with gold sugar and a sorting hat piece. These
actually look pretty sweet.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
If you wanted to troll Harry Potter fans and you
were Krispy Kree, just make everyone a lyin. Oh, I've
left the sorting head call. Everybody is lytherin. I would
love to see them do that, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Of your slim scoob at West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Start hush stumming a fine points. Sevin, it's back and spitty,
always looking to bring a little positivity to your day.
And this is just I love stories like this. Hey,
just welcome a new member to West Michigan at a
McDonald's parking lot. Yes, that's right, we've got a lease.
And Kevin Rotunda rush into the hospital last weekends. As
(04:30):
she was a high risk pregnancy, having complications during her
first three pregnancies, well Alise planned to deliver her fourth
baby at Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo. Well fate had different plans,
actually wound up getting sent home because of a false alarm,
but then Sunday night, the contractions were back in a
big way. So Kevin got in the car knowing they
(04:52):
had no time to spare. He was driving one hundred
miles per hour, cutting a thirty minute drive to school
Craft in half. But he pulled into the McDonald's on
North Grand Street because things were happening. It was quiet
around three am. He called nine one one, but within
minutes an officer had pulled up, but the baby was
(05:12):
not waiting. They described the scene to would TV eight
listen to this? I got really nervous.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I just felt like we weren't going to make it.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Anybody that knows me knows I would be the last
person you would think to ever deliver a baby.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
He caught her.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
I had a huge sigh of relief when she honestly
just fell out and immediately started crying.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I'm just really really thankful that it went.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It went well, and if it had to be in
a McDonald's parking lot, then it had.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
To be there.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Alice and Kevin welcomed baby Matilda in the McDonald's parking
lot in Schoolcraft. As a matter of fact, on the
birth certificate for location of birth, it lists the address
of the McDonald's right there, because that's where it went down.
Baby Matilda seven pounds fourteen ouncers, doing great, family members
already giving her nicknames like Matilda and mctilly on there.
(06:03):
And as for baby Matilda, the parents schmeddie.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
You know I had to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Thought up up up uh schmetty a.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
All right, let's do this incredible video I saw over
the weekend. Sarah Rixum is a twenty three year old
camp counselor at a sleepaway camp on Cape Cod and
last week she knew it was going to be the
moment of summer camp. She had noticed the little hints
dropping that Taylor Swift was going to be joining her
boyfriend Travis on the New Heights podcast and immediately knew
(06:34):
something some kind of news was going to drop. But see,
she is at a camp where campers have no access
to the internet, no smartphones, no nothing, so any pop
culture news from the quote unquote outside world has to
come from the counselors. That's exactly what her and other
counselors did Thursday morning, after the big news dropped about
(06:57):
Taylor's new album.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I'm For Everything for You.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh sorry, guys.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Picture hit the regular sour doughs.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Imagine an entire cafeteria of about two hundred screaming girls
finding out Taylor is dropping a brand new album. The
video is magnificent. Got it for you at West Michigan
Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Something tells me that Arts and craft said camp that
day when immediately to friendship.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
This is way past starts and crafts. Man, this is
way pastarts and crafts.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
You know, this has been a rumor for a while,
but at least if you believe Swifties, there were quite
a few easter eggs dropped with Taylor's interview part of
That New Heights podcast last week that she maybe the
next Super Bowl halftime show. Here's what die hard fans believe.
Remember Taylor. One of the things she opened up about
(08:01):
was her love of baking bread, specifically sour dough.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
The regular sour doughs one of my favors. But the blueberry, yeah,
we do.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
There's a blueberry lemon, there's cinnamon swirl, cinnamon raisin, funfetti
sour dough.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Oh my gosh, you no, it will.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
It's going to blow their mind. So here's how they
connect this. The mascot at Levi's Stadium where Super Bowl
sixty is going to be held the San Francisco forty
nine ers beloved sour dough Sam. On top of that,
the tail and also pointed out Taylor said she is
thinking about all Paine labone sixty percent of the time.
(08:40):
Another nine to the big Game apparently. Here's other things
that the Swifties have pointed out. After Jason's epic intro,
Taylor thanked him for screaming for forty seven seconds, a
random number to throw out unless you realize Levi's Stadium
happens to be the forty seventh stop on her iconic
Eras tour. Swifties also talked about the fact that it
(09:02):
is Travis's thirteenth year in the NFL, that is Taylor's
favorite number, and the Niners hosting a big event. What's
four plus nine thirteen? They have deep dived, deep dived
into this and do believe that the next big announcement
coming from Taylor since she's got the time now that
the tour is wrapped, to really put on a showstopper
(09:25):
of a Super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I mean, she absolutely would be a home run obviously
for the NFL. But like the four plus nine of
the forty nine ers equally thirteen.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You think it's weird until you're talking about Taylor Swift
and I just don't think it's a stretch. I think
they had me at the Sourdough.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
The funny part is, is shwitty are you? And I
don't You have friends that are into sourdale making, right?
Like I have friends that are in their thirties and
forties now that think baking sourdale bread is the coolest
thing ever, and they do it all the time. Though
I think I kind.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Of lost it a few years ago. I think if
your Taylor's and you're talking sour dough, Brett, I gotta
give it to you, Swifties. I would not be surprised
if that is exactly the egg she lays for the
Super Bowl halftime show. He maybe one of Hollywood's most
recognizable stars, but Leondo Dio DiCaprio says he has one
major regret in his decades long career. He sat down
(10:17):
for an interview with Esquire and talked about the fact
he wished he'd joined Boogie Knights. That's right, DiCaprio, telling
famed director Paul Thomas Anderson, my biggest regret is not
doing boogie nights. It was a profound movie of my generation.
I can't imagine anyone but Mark Wahlberg in it. And
when I finally got to see that movie, I just
(10:38):
thought it was a masterpiece. It's ironic that you're the
person asking the question about regrets, but it's absolutely true.
He said he turned down the role because he was
already committed to filming Titanic, so he wound up pretty
fine after all.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, I think his career turned out okay because of Titanic.
It would have been a little different if it was
Leo playing Dirk Daegler. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
A Bookie night finally, a big celebsiting over the weekend.
It was a sold out vanandel krowd for comedian Shane Gillis.
If you're not aware, here's some of this really good stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Picture hitter and Bookie.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Hey, Bookie is what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend
before bedtime.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Well, he made sure to pop into one of our
favorite spots, that's right, the Saturday Night Live alum Ate
dinner at Butcher's Union. It was very very cool. Of course,
he had a big show in Detroit on Friday before
heading here on Saturday night and was super kind. I
love hearing this about celebrities. He was super super polite,
took pictures with everybody on staff, actually posted to his
(11:44):
own social media about it, and Butcher's union just super
super thankful for drawing some local love. So I thought
that was awesome. I've got your pictures up with your
scoop at West Michigan start OCA.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Good morning too, It's Mack and schmiddeen. Happy first day
of school. I know, school's like Easter Rapids, Grand Rapids, Public, Grandville,
going back.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, and now good luck too. I think almost all
the time, with only a half day today, because that's
always super awesome for scheduling parents. So I thought it
would be really fun to talk about your most vivid
memory from a first day of school. Maybe it's yours
from you know, forty years ago, or maybe it's something
with your kids. Because over the weekend, Chris and I
(12:24):
went out to celebrate our ten year wedding an anniversary
back on Friday. Yeah, we were talking about it on
the show and we kind of wanted to do a
little bit of our all of our old haunts, and
we both went to Grand Valley. I know they start
classes a week from today, and I was like, this
is so wild because things have changed drastically since we
were coming downtown and partying on Ionia Street versus now.
(12:49):
And it was so interesting to kind of talk about
that because I remember my very first day of school
at Grand Valley. It was a Monday, and I had
a six to eight pm class. It was really excited
because it was my first communications class. I knew going
into school I wanted to do broadcasting. I knew I
wanted to do journalism and I could not wait. And
I had like the hardest, hardest time transitioning to college life.
(13:13):
I desperately missed my parents, I missed Lancing. I was like,
I can't do this. I'm gonna move home. I'm going
to just go to Michigan State. And it was so
I just remember being so homesick. And then I went
to that very first class and I was like, this
isn't working. I'm not doing this right. I'm not cut
out for this. And it ended up being the class
that I first met Chris, and like, looking back on
(13:37):
the way he looked at me in that class, because
the only reason I met him is we got put
into a group project that lasted the entire semester. That
night we all got put into groups, and that's the
very first time I met him, and he was like, man,
I was just so blown away, like you were so
confident and you were so smart. And I was like really,
because I had sobbed for seven hours before that class.
(13:58):
And I just thought it would be a really great
reminder if you are a parent that's maybe struggling today
because you have the kids going back, or it's a
really big going back it's kindergarten, or it's the first
day of high school, or you're moving kids in. I
saw a ton of people over the weekend talking about
getting dorm rooms ready, and you're sending them either back
for another year, which means you're maybe an empty nester
(14:20):
once again or for the very first time. And I
just thought I'd say, it's gonna work out great. Your
kids are gonna do great. And even in those moments
of like homesick, sadness or fear or wow, this is
really scary because it's something new. You're not generally scared
unless it's something really exciting, and it's gonna be a
(14:41):
fabulous year. And that's that is what I'm manifesting for
everybody that's back today, because it was really fun to
be at all of these different places on Friday night
with Chris, all these things that we had done together,
and it never would have happened had I not had
that really really scary first day of school.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
That's a super sweet yeah origin story. Yeah you will
for you and Chris. I think that's awesome and a
grade first day of school. I hope that those wise
words that you just shared with parents are heard by
my brother and sister in law, Danielle and Jay, whose
son JJ, my nephew off to kindergarten for the.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
First That's a tough one. Yeah, I'm striking out because
we've got preschool. I think the third time Sophia started
at preschool because she did two threes and now she's
going to be in fours. But she's going to a
brand new school. He's going to a brand new school.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
She's going to own that place.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I just know it's going to be a week of emotion.
And I also want to add, if you're the parent
feeling none of that because you're so excited they're gone,
that is perfectly normal and healthy as well. You did it,
You did your job. This summer, and you know what,
the professionals are back on board.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
You know that first message was for my in laws
and my nephew going to kindergarten. That second message was
for my wife for sure, who works at home and
is just like Jesus.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
We can be happy. If you want to kiss the
bus driver. I don't know if I go that far,
but like a high five, at least allow perfectly fine.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
Here are the facts with human torch was denied at
bankloadine good Chaine, stelling a fine point seven maybe the
week's least important news, but we give it to you
all the same.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It is a fresh batch of adine.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Like I said, cat people, maybe you already realize this,
but according to researchers at Oregon State University, your cat
actually thinks you are their child, not the other way around.
So when it grooms you, curls up next to you,
or follows you around, it thinks that you're not emotionally
capable of living life on your own.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I knew they were judging us. Australian man says he's
the world's only coffin confessor. This guy named Bill Edgar
gets booked to go to people's funerals and tell their
family members secrets of the person who just passed away
for a sixty seven hundred dollars feet. I saw this shmitty,
(16:57):
and I saw when I saw it was working one
day a month for eighty grand a year and learning
people's deepest don't you.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Being a guy on YouTube? No Bob breaks bad news.
People pay him to do that, and he is making
a killing. Oh no pun intended.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
J'all updating my resume now.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Adult pacifiers are now trending in China as a way
to cope with stress and anxiety, that's right, ranging from
ten to five hundred dollars, and they are being used
as something called regression phenomenon where you find the comfort
of childhood the only way to survive life.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
We're all going to be schucking on bankies again. Great
virus in Colorado creating Frankenstein rabbits with tentacle like growths
on their faces. Schmiddy, Yeah, rabbits in Colorado have got
this peculiar black tentacle like growth coming out of their faces,
causing concern among residents. Health officials advice giving the infected
(17:58):
rabbits some space. They got to get this figured out.
Or else Easter is going to be a straight up
horror movie. That's all I know.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Goodbye, a police in canine Police Canine in Michigan has
gone viral after being accused of stealing an officer's lunch.
The Why and not Police Department please drop this mugshot
and legit Ice is his name? Looks absolutely stunned the
department joke. Stealing is not only a crime, but morally wrong,
(18:25):
and at one point Ice had even been spotted snatching
food directly from coworkers' hands. I only do this because
you've got to go to our Instagram and see the mugshot.
It's the cutest dang thing you're going to see today.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Goodbye. Finally, SCHMIDDI a story that you would have thought
was from twenty years ago. At least. AOL to end
its iconic dial up service this September after over thirty years.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Dude, our audience is shook about this. I did an
entire conversation last week and had people call in with
what they missed most about nostalgic AOL And we really
really do think dial up garner's back to a simpler time,
you know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Getting those CDs in the mail, It might have been
Jon mail, but it was still cool to get mail period.
That's this week's headlines. You ever seen any great ones
out there, always send them our way at West Michigan Stock.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Moodi's music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well, it's definitely not the Taylor Swift fan I would
have thought was so overly passionate about the singer. But
former FBI director James Comey has revealed in a slightly
bizarre video posted to his sub stack yesterday, his new
coping mechanism to deal with all of the political drama,
(19:44):
including some of that bad blood. With President Trump listening
to his favorite singer Taylor Swift, I want to talk.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
About a truly inspirational public figure named Taylor Swift. Of
course I watched her podcast interview with the Kelsey Brothers.
You see Taylor Swift and I go way back. I
went to my first concert of hers fifteen years ago.
I've been to a second, and I have helped financially
support the attendance of a lot of family members. And
I know all her music and I listened to it
on my headphones when I cut the grass. So yes,
(20:13):
I have a favorite of hers, although honestly, for me,
it's a tie between All Too Well ten minute version
and Exile featuring Bony.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Verir so interesting. He talked more about how she discussed
not giving people your energy if they don't deserve it,
think of your energy as if it's expensive. He said
that really stuck with me, and he said that it's
just the way she talks about shaking it off and
(20:41):
not letting these things bother you. I don't know if
that'll help. As you know, Comy is possibly under investigation
by the Justice Department, and maybe the Taylor Swift music
will really calm them down.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
No, I don't think this Karra Justice Department is swifties.
I think they're anti I mean calling him down.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Like in the midst of it, the whole sub stack
is linked up. It's a very interesting conversation at West
Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I just liked that he went with the ten minute
version of All Too Well.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
All right, this is kind of a terrifying moment. On
Friday at Wrigley Field, it was the seventh inning stretch
as the Cubs were taking on the Pirates, and in
fact Star Wars actor Hayden Christiansen stepped up to the
mic alongside his daughter for take me out to the ballgame.
But the only thing that could outdo Anakin Skywalker.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
This ubs, this scary book. This was very scary.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Apparently the Chicago Air and Water Show forgot to tell
the Cubs organization that they were going to be doing
a little flyover. Absolute pandemonium at Wrigley. Video from the
dugout shows multiple Cubs players jumping into each other's arms.
In fact, infielder Justin Turner actually dove on the floor
(22:00):
and covered his head with a helmet. Even the announcers
you could hear, went whoa okay uh. No word on
why there wasn't some more communication, But fans got quite
a show.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Did Anakin go ahead and sing the song afterwards?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I mean unaffected? Unaffected as true Anakin would be. Finally,
sports fans with some dough to drop are currently in
quite a bidding war over a one of a kind
Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant baseball card expected to sell
Forget this over six million dollars. It's from the seven
(22:36):
eight Upper Deck Exquisite Collection. It features autographs, from each
basketball legend alongside NBA logo patches. This is insane. It's
from heritage auctions. So far it's got a bid of
six point one million dollars and it's still going. According
to sports historians, this could be the biggest piece of
(22:58):
sports memorabilia in history.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Just to be clear, it's made of cardboard and its
actual value is less than a.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Dollar six million dollars. All right, all of your celeb
Scoopa West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Com Battle of the Sexes right now in your chance,
you get over to our Grand Rapids Public Museum to
see these sharks exhibit going on through the end of
the month's binny, and you mentioned that there is a
test that will tell you what kind of shark.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
You actually are.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I got a whale shark.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Did do that make you mad?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
It did? It would if it didn't track so perfectly,
tracked me perfectly.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
The exhibit goes through August thirty. First, you have today's
number one answer. We're going to get you and the
family to the Grand Rapids Public Museum. We've got one
hundred women surveyed, name and exercise that gym teachers make
you do.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
An exercise that gym teachers make you do.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
You kids still climb the rope? That gotten too dangerous?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I think it must be too dangerous now. That's exactly
where I went to as well, because I used to
think how insane it was that they let us all
climb like thirty feet up into the rap of your
gym every year.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
But that is the only time I saw an ambulance
in real life. We had one take a fall. That's terrible, Tyler.
I think he's okay in life now. But you never forget.
You never forget. Six one, six, four, five, eight, one
oh five seven. One hundred women surveyed name an exercise
gym teachers make you do? Got the number one answer.
(24:21):
We're looking for callers seven to score Grand Rapids Public
Museum passes to check out Sharks.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Good morning star, who's this three?
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Three?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Where are you calling from today? Collin? All right, Bray,
let's get you these tickets for our Grand Rapids Public
Museum and the Sharks exhibit. Gotta tell me. One hundred
women were asked name and exercise gym teachers made you do?
Sit up? Sit ups? Yes, I know. They just brought
back the National Fitness Test. How many sit ups. Do
you remember doing in a minute back in the day.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Oh my gosh, maybe like twenty, But that was when
I was young. You know what.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
We used to drive me crazies. You know, I would
do pretty good dd the sit up category. But then
they're some kid that would literally get like seventy of
them in in a minute. It's like, how do you
do one faster than one per second? I don't understand,
but sit ups is the top answer. When don't go
kicking off the week with a win of four tickets
for a Grand Rappids Public Museum, going to check out
(25:17):
that awesome sharks exhibit. Well done, awesome, thank you for
the record. It was sit ups followed by pull ups,
then jumping jacks and push ups, rounding out those top
four answers. Something tells me year kids will be doing
a little bit of all of those things this year
for sure. But enjoy it and congratulations all week long.
More chances to win these Grand Rapids Public Museum tickets.
(25:38):
When we played Battle of the Sex is eight fifteen
each weekday Here on it, Starck, come on it too.
It's Mack and Schmidty, and of course some kids going
back to school across West Michigan. Everybody over the next
couple of weeks here and so very common thing on
the first day of school, especially in the younger grades.
I felt like schmidty was what was the highlight of
your summer? Everybody? Sometimes you'd have to write about it.
(25:59):
Sometimes you'd have to stay up in front of the
class and sort of talk about it. But no matter
what age your kids are, I would like to know
what you think they would say was the highlight of
their summer. Cause my son, he told the stars and
we just got back from vacation to the up it
was phenomenal. We did all of the things. However, the
highlight for him was to kwaminin fallse and we told
(26:19):
you know, I asked him, I'm like, you know, what
was the thing that you loved this summer the most
that you want to tell people about. He's like, oh,
corominin Falls. My daughter said the same thing. They had
a blast up there playing in the falls like crazy.
And I go, oh, you just want to tell him
how you know he gets to play in the waterfalls
and all that kind of stuff with your dog, and
he goes, no, I want to tell people how I
almost died.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
That's exactly how my ksandle is, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And he goes, well, when we tried to get out
to the Middle Waterfall, I screamed, Dad, my feet almost
slipped out from under me. I saw my life flash
before my eyes. And I'm like, buddy, you were fine.
I'm like, I was right there, and he goes, Dad,
if the water would have gotten under my feet a
little more, I'd have been swept down river. It's like,
I almost die. I will tell people about that, so.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You can go back. What Wednesday do you think the
knock on the door will come Wednesday afternoon from the
authorities or not until Thursday?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
He says, he's still experiencing some traumas. What do you
think your kids would come wish middy as that first
day of school.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I can tell you Will is going to tell his teachers.
We let him ride his bike the furthest Ever by himself.
He got to go all the way on the sidewalk
of a busy road. So it doesn't matter where we traveled,
what we did taking him to a rooftop overlooking Traverse
Bay that a couple of weeks ago. No, it's going
to be the fact that he was allowed to ride
his bike all the way on the sidewalk with a
(27:39):
busy street.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
You thought to yourself, like, oh, you know, I want
to make all these special summer memories.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Spend money while little kids.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Right, You're like, all I really had to do is
just let off the rains and give him so.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
You could have gotten a great flavored dundum if that
is what he would have told.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Someone point seven, look at a push a little positivity
in your direction. Macka right now, I'm feeling good.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh I just love love. You know. Oftentimes you hear
him talking about his players, or his strategy, or a
win or a loss behind that press conference pulpit. But
for coach Dan Campbell of the Detroit Lions, there is
one person that everything comes down to, and it is
his wife, Holly, who, in the last couple of years
has really given an inside look at the couple's relationship
(28:23):
off the field. Her instagram is full of moments like
movie theater nights with the kids, taking their daughter back
to college, even Dan's Sunday coffee order. He sat down
with ABC seven in Detroit and talked about what it
really means after twenty five years of marriage to have
his biggest cheerleaders still by his side.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Well, she meant the world.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
I mean, this is not an easy life, you know,
And I think sometimes that doesn't come through because you're
seeing the best of the times, right, the best of times,
all these great and man to be a coach's wife,
it's hard, it's hard, and she was a player's wife
for a while, but then you know, coach's wife over
this last decade or more, and so she's had to
(29:08):
go through a lot of you know, the ups and downs,
the laughter, the tears, the me not being around and
you know, and so for her to just stay, you know,
stay strong, stay with me, be my rock has been unbelievable.
So you know, I owe her everything.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Really, I just thought it was too sweet not to
highlight that moment. But two of them just seemed like
absolute love birds after all of this time and two
older children. It's so cool to see him just so
excited to bring her up in interviews.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
It is really sweet way to do that. Major husband points.
Absolutely all right, spitty, let's go from my lions to
your bears real quick. And a former Michigan Wolverine who's
gone viral. Do you remember when Aiden Hutchinson for the
Lions went viral for his Michael Jackson Billy Jean performance
in front of the end your Team. Well, that continues
(30:01):
for former Michigan players in the NFL tradition of having
a rookie step up in front of their entire team
and perform a song. Colston Loveland, who helped Michigan Wolverine's
been a national champion, now a first round draft pick
for the Chicago Bears, went with Marios let Me Love You.
That has gone absolutely viral. Was complete with dance moves
(30:44):
that had the entire Bears team just going absolutely nuts.
He said, that was just a song I've been listening
to forever, and it was something I actually knew. I
knew I could sing it without an instrumental if I
had to. I felt confident and it showed. Jittie, it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
I'll just take a happy stroke locker room anyway you
need to make that happen.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I'm feeling good. Always come and ask you to share
something awesome with you. We'll do it again tomorrow, six
forty five and nine twenty. Every weekday here on Star,
Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday starting at six
am on Star one oh five point seven
