Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
I of it. Mac and Schmitty in the morning on
Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Good morning, Smitty, Hey, good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Welcome into Yo with Thursday. Thanks for doing with us well.
After the first day of school yesterday for my kid,
oh Schmitty, they got home and I was actually pretty
passed out, so I can't imagine how tired day were.
But when I woke up, I said the first thing,
I'm like, oh my gosh, I was the first day school.
It's fine, d Yep, it's fine. It was nothing that
was normal. There's nothing big about it. I'm like, oh,

(00:37):
did you like your classes and your new teachers?

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Is your everyone? They were fine?

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Like they gets so amped.

Speaker 5 (00:43):
My best friend's got a seventh grader this year, and
he came home and she's.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Like, how was it?

Speaker 4 (00:48):
What out of tend He goes, let me just a five.
It's kind of boring.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
I was like, syllabus day, dude, those were always the
best days.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
In college, so get ready.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Well, and that's when we went into the school year.
My daughter was a little bit stressed out before she
and saw our classes at her locker, and I'm like,
the first day, you do nothing but listen to how
every teacher is going to run their classroom. I'm like,
that's it. It's the easiest day you can learn on
the job on that day.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
Meanwhile, I had a very different experience at my open
house last night. So if you're listening at seven ten
this morning, it's kind of going to be a bonus
parent confession.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
We'll put it that way.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
Actress Sidney Sweeney clapping back at critics who claim she
is cashing in way too hard on an over sexualized image.
The twenty seven year old HBO star has become one
of the most in demand people in Hollywood, especially when
it comes to things like advertisement campaigns. But while some
fans have accused her of leaning a bit too hard

(01:49):
into suggestive marketing, she insists a ton of thought goes
into what she supports. For instance, remember she was selling
her bathwater.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
That was something for a bit.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
You have to think about that one for a while.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
She sat down with The Wall Street Journal, she said,
I think it's important to have a finger on the
pulse of what people are saying, because everything is a
conversation with the audience. She said, For instance, when I
sold my limited edition line of soap infused bathwater, suddenly
people had a problem. Nobody had a problem with actor
Jacob Elordi's bathwater, she said, mainly girls were making comments

(02:24):
about it, which I thought was really really interesting. When
asked if she is thinking strategically, she said, oh, yes,
every single campaign, very very much so, but would not
publicly discuss the controversy around that American Eagle Sydney Sweeney
has great genes denim campaign.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I don't think her intentions are that deep. Yeah, I
see a young woman out there capitalizing on her moment
in the sun at least, and her talents for as
an actor and making money.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
And she's not wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I do feel like if this, any of this stuff
were being done by men, it wouldn't even be a conversation.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Of the least.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
This is going to be a very interesting story to watch.
Brooke Hogan says people need to wait for bodycam footage
from her famous dad, Hulk Hogan's death to come out
because she's hearing it is going to completely change the
story around his passing, as in he may have been killed.
The daughter of Hulk making the bombshell claims on Instagram

(03:25):
yesterday saying she has gotten legitimate calls from authorities in
the know about her dad's passing, that she really needs
to be asking more questions about bodycam footage and nine
to one to one tapes. She says she was told
the tapes could potentially shed enough light to change the
narrative on what we've been hearing. She says she's being
frozen out by Hulk's widow, She doesn't have access to

(03:47):
any of the materials she's trying to get a hold of,
and she says the Freedom of Information Act requests are
also not working. She said she doesn't know if her
dad has been cremated or not, and if not, she
he is demanding an autopsy. She said, Ultimately, I'm still
not fully sure what happened, but I'm expressing serious doubt

(04:08):
that this was some kind of natural death.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
You feel like this is legitimate or grief shmitty.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
You know the few places I read about it this morning,
I might lean a bit more towards legitimate. I mean,
it's going to be really wild, She such as getting
lawyers involved and working to figure out exactly what happens.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Let me interesting.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Finally, I'm sure you've seen people posting about him. Judge
Frank Capriol, who went viral for making very compassionate decisions
in his courtroom, has passed away, according to his official
social page. A death announcement was shared to insta yesterday,
the judge dying after a battle with pancreatic cancer. The
caption reads, beloved for his compassion, humility and unwavering belief

(04:50):
in the goodness of people. Judgecaprio touched the lives of
millions through his work in the courtroom and beyond. So
he also had a reality show called Hot in Providence
with Schran from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty. He was
an Emmy Award nominee. But the ultimate thing was that
he did show such compassion. This is a ninety six
year old gentleman facing a traffic tipic to be.

Speaker 6 (05:11):
Taking your son to the doctor's office. Yeah, I'd take
him for blood work every two weeks. Got cancer? You
are a good man. You are a good man. I
wish the best for your son, and I wish you
good health. And your case is dismissed.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
Yeah, he's survived by his wife, five kids, seven grandkids,
two great grandkids.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Judge Capriol was eighty eight.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I never knew whether or not he was on TV much,
but I have seen that video online at least a
half a dozen times, and I watched the whole thing
every day.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
You're gonna see a lot more because everybody was posting
about this last night. He was a really beloved guy.
I've got it up for you with your scoop at
West Michigan Star dot Com.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
That's done is always here to pack your morning with
some positivity. It's feeling good right now and starting on
five point seven Mack and schmidting with you.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
This is just awesome.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Wanted to share a sweet story that happened over the
weekend on the east side of the state where young Micah,
four year old boy from Farmington Hills. He made a
nine to one to one call, but his emergency was
that he really needed to talk to someone asap about
soccer and swimming. He just wanted to have a sports convo,
so he called nine one one dispatchers. They followed the procedure,

(06:22):
of course, and sent an officer over.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Michael L.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Hague went to check on the boys where he found
Micah his brother Mitch safe at home there, but you know,
he chatted him up all the same, showed him the
inside of the police cruiser, and then during the visit,
Officer l Haig found out that Mitch had a birthday
coming up the very next day. Well, he decided to
come back with a whole bunch of other officers. They

(06:45):
surprised little Micah came back, hooked him up with birthday presents,
including a new soccer goal, police cap and badge, and
l Haig, who's got to send himself, said he just
wanted to make the boys day special and being a
dad helped him understand the importance of things like that.
Plus the officers just wanted to show like, yeah, you
don't want to just call nine one one when it's

(07:05):
not an emergency, but at the same time, they didn't
want to discourage kids from calling anytime and knowing that
the police are going.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
To be there to help.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
This is pretty phenomenal.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
Imagine you're already getting going for your trip to ayr
Lynn to celebrate your eighty fifth birthday. But for great
Grandma Mary McCarthy, she had won more special surprise. While
waiting for her flight alongside her daughter and granddaughter at
Chicago's O'Hare, McCarthy spotted some really familiar faces. Gosh, they

(07:34):
were almost like doppelgangers of her two great grandsons.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Oh god, that kid looked quite a Findley is that?

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Oh my god?

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Wooh.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
Great Grandma was over the moon. Her two great grandsons
and Wyatt surprised her all the way from Colorado.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
She could not believe it.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
The six and four year old even sprinkled in a
few white lies for the past few weeks, so Great
Grandma would have no idea. The video has now been
seen more than seven million times. The family sat down
with Today dot Com and said all of the careful
planning really paid off. Grandma Mary's reaction definitely did not disappoint.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
It is such a cute video. I've got it on
her Instagram at West Michigan, Star.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
Actress Kirsten Dunst has revealed her young son James, had
a frightening health scare while she was filming in Budapest,
Earlier this year, the actress Sue was notoriously private about
her family, sat down and talked to a new Interview
about moving abroad for six months with the fam to
foam her new movie, The Entertainment System Is Down, but

(08:59):
very quickly her her youngest became seriously ill, telling town
and country it felt like final destination. You're just imagining
all of the things that could go wrong. It's every
worst case scenario happening to your child. She admits, I've
never seen that movie, but I know the concept, and
I just feel like that is what it's like to
be a mom at so many times. This is one

(09:20):
of the kids she shares with actor Jesse Plemmons. She
said the plan was to stay the entire time, but
Plemmens rushed back to the US to enter their son
into an LA Area children's hospital. She would not go
into details about the exact problem, just stressed he is
doing fine right now, and that the health scare truly
brought them together as a family in a much deeper way.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
A scary thing, especially for it to happen in another country.
The country right also have a question, is there something
going on in Budapest right now? Is it the Hollywood
of I think it's very there. I think you've got
tax breaks and things like that.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Yeah, Nick Jonas, member of the Jonas Brothers, have fans going, oh,
this is a red flag. The thirty two year old
singer appeared on Are You Okay?

Speaker 4 (10:07):
This Is Like?

Speaker 5 (10:07):
A YouTube interview series, sharing his very controversial opinions about
what should and should not be done in bed. He says,
I think beds are for sleeping only. I don't sit
on my bed. I don't eat on my bed. I
don't even read a book or watch TV in bed.
I can't do it. Of course, his wife, Brianka Chopra,

(10:28):
says it is a very very odd thing. He says,
first of all, she loves it because I run hot.
It's a whole thing between us, so she doesn't really
love when I'm in there. But he said, it's just
so odd to me to do anything other than sleep.
I will even pull up a seat and sit next
to her while she's in bed to watch TV. But
I literally cannot wind out. The second I get under

(10:50):
the sheets, I have to be going to bed.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Everything about that was okay, and Delly said he pulls up.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
I love Lucy or something where you can't even have your.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Butts together on TV. Finally, I said, Coach Dan Campbell

All right, all of your celeb Scoop at West Michigan
Star dot.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Com, Good morning to you at is Mac and Shitty
and you know the nerves of meeting new teacher. I
feel like are supposed to be more for the kid,
less for the parent.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
This had nothing to do with nerves.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
This had everything to do with being a very poor planner,
even though it was worth it. So last night was
my son's open house. We kick off school in Rockford
coming up on Monday, so we got to go and
see the new classroom, meet the new teacher.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
But yesterday was a really.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
Packed day because I had my best friend of thirty
five years is in Michigan. They actually live in Wisconsin.
I had not seen her in two years, so we
had a beach day planned yesterday. I was really excited
to get the families together. So we were over at PJ. Hoffmaster,
which is probably forty five minutes to an hour drive,

(12:41):
and we stayed at the beach, probably a Scotchi later
than we should have. So we're driving back and I'm
looking at the clock. I'm like, dude, we have an
hour for this open house. We're we're going to be
cutting it really tight, right, really tight.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
And Chris is like, you'll be fine.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
We'll run inside grab the school supplies and his school
LUCKI is just like across the neighborhood for us man,
oh man, I just I gotta apologize to missus g
because I rolled in there in a bathing suit with
a bathing suit cover up sand in my hair. I
had just a giant Amazon box full of the school

(13:18):
supplies we had ordered. Have not unpacked them, right, I stink.
My son still has bathing suit bottoms on. I just
put on an American flag shirt for a cover.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Up, and I'm like, oh man. So we're in the classroom.

Speaker 5 (13:32):
It's like ten minutes to go before the end of
the open house, and I try really hard to be
respectful of teacher's time because I already know that it's
probably the last thing they want to do. They've been
working for a week plus to get their classroom ready.
I'm not rolling in late BOYD, did I look a mess?
So that I'm sitting at the desk and she's amazing.
She's showing well around the classroom in like the little
library she has.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
I am literally unpacking Amazon boxes.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
I'm pulling clorox wipes out markers, pencils, like everything is
still duc taped up with like the tape. It's just
it's an absolute wreck. And I'm like breaking a sweat.
And she comes over, and I'm just like, I'm so sorry.
Normally I'm a type a parent, but my best friend

(14:14):
was here and we cut it too close, and you.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Know, traffic with construction in this place. We were out
at the beach.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
Oh now, I talked to you about being at the
beach and you've been stuck in a hot classroom for
nine days and I shouldn't be.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
And she's just.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
Looking at me, and I'm like, I'm gonna go, and
I promise when you see me on Monday, I'm gonna
be an entirely different person.

Speaker 7 (14:32):
Ma'am.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Are you in the middle of a heat stroke?

Speaker 8 (14:35):
Right?

Speaker 3 (14:35):
What's happening right now?

Speaker 5 (14:37):
I walked in the door after doing this open house
and Chris just looked at me and he goes, we're
gonna have a lot of ground to make up in
this meeting.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
So I'm really sorry about that. It was not my
best showing.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
You just look at her in the eye and be like, look,
the kid's summer vacation is over.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Mine does not have a hard stop.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
Okay that I was that close to being like, man,
the fact we have pants on, it's a big deal.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Oh, I love it.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Good luck everybody.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Movies, Music, and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Okay, are you ready for this trending this morning?

Speaker 5 (15:14):
Even though this happened last year, Kansas City Chiefs Coach
Andy Reid had a bullet fired into his office window
at the practice facility. The incident went down in May
of last year. Reid was working alone in the building
when a bullet literally whizzed through his window, leaving a
hole in the glass and the blinds, before lodging in

(15:37):
a wall just across from his head in the head
coach's office. Following the shooting, Kansas City police confirming bulletproof
glass had to be installed. The incident was kept very
hush hush since it landed just feet away from Reid's desk.
It happened shortly after midnight. Officers arrived in the early

(15:58):
morning hours and said that an we're in A security
guard heard a noise and then observed what appeared to
be a bullet hole in the window. The investigation is ongoing.
So far no arrests have been made, but absolutely wild.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
I found a whole bunch of things about this crazy
A stray bullet being able to come near your multi
million dollar paid head coach in that way.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
Second floor office, Like wow.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
I was actually scared at first that they were gonna
say like it was something from inside of the building.
I think they had to figure out where it came
from or something like there was some mystery happening inside
of the Chief Stadium.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
But yeah, how they kept this quiet is pretty astonishing.
It's now being reported bullets hit two other areas of
the practice facility, one striking a floor right above Coach's office,
another lodging in an air conditioning unit.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
So there's a lot of conversation about that today.

Speaker 5 (16:55):
Taylor Swift reportedly changed her image up a bit because
of her boyfriend Travis Kelce, making her feel more confident
than ever. This is a source talking to The Daily
Mail that the newer, bolder, i'll say it, more risque
version of the singer. If you've seen the album covers
for her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, You'll
know what I'm talking about. Is all because the NFL

(17:17):
star gave her confidence to explore a brand new chapter
of herself. Of course, the announcement, talking about some new
details on the album, she said she's very excited to
kind of be exploring this new part of her and
according to this source, she finally feels safe enough in
a relationship to explore a more sensual side. And you

(17:37):
will hear that in the music for this new album
of course that drops October third.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
That's really awesome.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
And besides it being Taylor, you hope that when somebody
you feel like is in love is getting gassed up
by their significant others a great player compliments and making
you feel more confident about yourself.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
That's a good thing.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
Finally, Lines fans, are you ready adding the little thumb
something to the closet? It's been announced the Detroit Lions
are one of the first teams to get their very
own personalized line of Crocs yep, the shoe. The NFL
just announced the NFL by Crocs collaboration. The first drop
includes fourteen of the thirty two NFL.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Teams, the Lions.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Crocs coming a blue, black, and gray with team themed
gibbets charms that include an all grit charm and actually
thought this was really cute. A uper charm that goes
up over like the top belt Finn. Yeah. These are
going to drop September eighteenth, and buckle up eighty four
ninety nine up pair.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
You can only buy these online.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
Some other teams that we'll see in this first round
of crocs includes the Chicago Bears, the Kansas City Chiefs,
the Eagles, and the Texans.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
I gotta say, there's not a single pair of Crocks,
even if you throw the Lion's logo on it, that
I think are good looking shoe in anyway, I fell
out in a minute. He was going to say, and
I guarantee you also. My son will be begging for
the these things the second the season.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
All right, all of your celeb scoop at West Michigan
Star dot com.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
See these time to battle. Get over to our Grand
Rapids Public Museum before the end of the month to
go check out the incredible looking sharks exhibit over there.

Speaker 5 (19:15):
M August thirty first. That's it, so you've got to
take advantage. It's such a cool spot for the family.
Today's Battle of the sexes question. We've got one hundred
women surveyed. Nay ma, sure you do yourself because you
like it a particular way.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
All right, I won't. I won't say what my wifes
are since of women were ast but I will say this.
My wife tried to mow the lawn before with our
riding mower and it was like somebody with a blindfold
did it smitty.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
I swear the lines were terrible.

Speaker 5 (19:41):
And just to that the other day and Chris was like, yeah,
you're gonna need a double mo so you go back
and forth and you're gonna do a crisscross. And I
was like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I'm gonna
pull the chick card. I'm not gonna mow the lawn again.
So six one, six, four, five eight, one oh five seven.
We've got one hundred women surveyed. They mature you yourself
because you like it a particular way. Caller seven, you've

(20:03):
got that number one answer. We're sending you and the
family to the Grand Rapids Public Museum to check out
that sharks exhibit with star.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Good morning star, Jessica. Where are you calling from?

Speaker 7 (20:17):
Dan Lake?

Speaker 3 (20:18):
All right, Jessica. One hundred women were asked to name the.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Chore you'd rather just do it yourself because you like
it done a certain way.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
What do you think? The top answer was there.

Speaker 6 (20:27):
I'm gonna go with the dishwasher.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
You're gonna go with dishes, dishwasher, why'd you go with that?

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Because it drives me crazy when bowls are even just
the opposite way.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Honestly, in my house, I'm kind of the dishwasher sheriff
in town.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Like I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
I can't stand it when people put things in just
any completely unefficient way. All right, there's an order to
things people. But on the flip side of that, my
wife will not let me fold anything except for my
own clothes, because she says I do it like a
three year old child would fold things, and that nothing
can be put away that I've done it with.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
So, just so you know, between the two of us,
you're correct, I would be wrong.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
You are picking up four tickets to go to the
Grand Rapids Public u zam to go check out Sharks.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
Congrats, Oh my gosh, thank you.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah. It was dishes, followed by grocery shopping, which is
a good one too there because I never get the
list quite right, and believe my wife tells me, I
have to shop twice if it's going if you're the
one who's going to do it, because I have to
explain it all to you and then fix the things
that I do incorrectly while I'm there, so I'm just
not capable.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Laundry rounds out those top answers.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Though, and you are picking up those tickets to put
a Grand Rappids Public Museum. Have a blast there, Jessica.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yes, thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Good morning to you. It's Mack and Schmitty.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
And when you woke up this morning, I want to
know how many pillows did you wind up having to
put back on your bed after you actually got out
of it.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
How many pillows is too many pillows on a bench?

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Man. I bring this up because before I went on vacation,
I went up door to my dad's house, and my
dad he collects things, and he goes through phases of things.
For example, sixteen ounce pine glasses from various restaurants and
famous bars and places around the country. He's got so
many of them, Schmidty, you cannot fit one more in

(22:20):
our cup cover. If all of the cups are washed,
they fit perfectly in there. When I was up on Macanaw,
he made me go to the Pink Pony Club just
to get him one of these sixteen ounce cups. And
it is the Pink Pony Pony Club to do we
have a pine glass the Pig Pony Club.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
I'll take it.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
It does say pink Pony Club. By today, I think.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Anyway, I'm like, Dad, you don't have room for one
more class, and he goes, I know how to make
room for it.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
So is he collecting pillows?

Speaker 2 (22:53):
He is now doing it with pillows, because when we
got there, I think, so wow. We didn't sleep in
him and his wife's room. We were there, we slept
in the guest bedrooms, and the kids slept in my
old bedroom. And when I went into the guest room,
it had clearly been redecorated since last time I was there,
and it featured no less than eleven pillows on the

(23:13):
bed schmidty. And I was baffled because I went through
and there were three full sized pillows on each side
for the first six there were two decorative pillows in
front of those to bring it to.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Ten, and then one little, tiny, pointless pillow sitting in
front of them.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
So the only points I will give my dad is
at least there was some symmetry, some equilibrium to it.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
It didn't look bad.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
But then I had to throw seven pillows onto the
ground in order to just go to bed with my
normal one pillow.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
This is a guest bedroom. This is a guest had
no flag on that.

Speaker 5 (23:47):
Yeah, people aren't sleeping in there more than once every
few months.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
I thought you met full sized pillows. I was gonna
call it out, but throw pillows. I love a good
throw pillow.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Well, yeah, but it's just extra on there. And why
did he need six full size pillows?

Speaker 6 (24:01):
Who does?

Speaker 4 (24:02):
That's how many I sleep with?

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Wait? Wait, I said, but.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
Six full sized pillows and they're all different, Like we
have two down pillows, we have two firm pillows that
may have a medium pillow, and like one between medium
and firm.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Okay, I feel like seventy five percent of your pillows
are just wasted time using for.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
Every parts of my body. Dude, if I could, I'd
still sleep with a pregnancy pillow.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
I love pillows, So I know Chris is a hot sleeper.
Does he use more than one pillow?

Speaker 5 (24:27):
He uses at least two, maybe three? Like does you
wrap yourself?

Speaker 3 (24:31):
What you do?

Speaker 1 (24:32):
You like?

Speaker 5 (24:32):
Wrap yourself your arms around one? You've got your firm one.
I usually put one on the back. I love pillows.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
What are you snugglers doing? Every single night? I use
one pillow and that's it. Sometimes I even throw that
on the floor.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
You're an animal. I love pillows.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Seven to five points seven. I'm always look at it
right up your day a little bit. Feeling good right now?
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Sidding?

Speaker 5 (24:54):
This was a really incredible moment, and I guarantee you're
going to see the video everywhere this morning. Twenty five
year old that Tyson Beijent just seinety ten million dollar
extension to continue to be the Chicago Bears backup quarterback.
But this means way more than money. In a press
conference yesterday, asking about this big move, he said it's

(25:17):
going to be life changing for his family, getting very
emotional talking about his dad specifically.

Speaker 8 (25:22):
You know a lot of people don't know this, but
you know, my dad is my uh he's my right
hand man, and he didn't he didn't have running water
until he was in high school. So there's definitely a
lot of things that and people that I think I
could certainly help with this gift up and blessed with.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
But yeah, just.

Speaker 8 (25:40):
Little things like that. You know, I don't really know
anybody back at home with any money.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
So yeah, it feels good.

Speaker 8 (25:46):
I mean it's certainly a weight off my shoulders and
my family shoulders, and yeah, it definitely means a lot.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
It's pretty incredible the level of gratitude he feels for
this and mentioned again, I'm going to be using this
money to help as many people as I possibly can
because of this gift, because of this blessing, I truly
understand how much this is and how much of a
change it can make. After growing up seeing what it
is like on the other side, it's just wow, twenty

(26:15):
five years old, people are like a perspective like this
is really pretty incredible.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, and those backup quarterback positions are so in and
out in the NFL. To get a contract like that,
I mean that is.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Like, yeah, excuse me.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Steve Wilt lost his father, Ralph, back in July, and
obviously a sad and tragic thing, but he and his
sisters did not want that to be his dad's legacy,
not even at the funeral. So after they had Ralph cremated,
they decided they would actually make several fake little bottles
of ashes for the funeral service, then pass them out

(26:51):
to everyone at the funeral, making the joke like we
just gave you a piece of our dad.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
With them.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
They thought it was hilarious. They enjoyed it made the
whole ceremony a little bit lighter. But then they took
it one step further. They decided they were going to
leave some leftover vials of fake ashes around random places
in West Michigan, and Steve left one at four to
one to two distillery in Waylan on an arcade game.

(27:18):
The staff found it, Honestly, they were a little bit
freaked out. As they told thirteen on your side.

Speaker 9 (27:23):
We just posted on Facebook and I got a lot
of shares, I got a lot of pms, so the
date really was kind of harder to cipher. And then
Steve got tagged in a bunch of stuff and then
finally we figured out it was Steve Wilkes.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah, was Steve Wilkes leaving random bottles of ashes around
random spots in his yard. And you know what he said,
It's not really a typical way to honor somebody's legacy,
but that his dad would love this joke, and that's
really what they wanted to keep going.

Speaker 8 (27:52):
Stifinitely not laughing about death or losing someone, but it
to me, it's passing that legacy alot.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
And he could always make you laugh while he was here.

Speaker 7 (28:04):
This is our kind of way of continuing that on
while he's.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Not a little twisted, little dark, yes, smitty, well that slightly,
but also kind of hilarious. And I'm sure, like he said,
his dad would have found it funny. So pretty cool,
feeling good. I always want to share something funny going
on out there, something weird, or something incredible to take
with you and the rest of your day. We'll do
tog end of miles six, forty five and nine twenty
every weekday. You're on Star Mack and Schmidty in the
morning weekday starting at six am on Star one oh

(28:30):
five point seven
