Speaker 1 (00:02):
Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh
of it.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven. Good morning, Smitty, Good morning. Welcome into
what do we refer to it as gains weekendy ah, yes,
weekend e vis upon us here as we are thoroughly
into August, now the month of kids go back to
school in sh I don't say anything to them. They're
still asleep anyway, so you can feel free to do
(00:32):
cartwheels and yell and fist pump in the air.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Maybe not yell. We want to keep them sleeping, all right, Early.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Well this is half wild, half absolutely terrifying. Taylor Swift's
concerts in Vienna have officially been canceled due to government
concerns about a planned terrorist attack. Are not fully confident
they've caught all the terrorists involved in the planned attack,
They say, while the threat has been minimized, there's still
(01:08):
an abstract threat that looms. According to Vienna authorities, they
arrested two Austrian citizens after a bomb squad found bomb
making materials in the home of a nineteen year old suspect.
Cops say both men were radicalized and had pledged allegiance
to ISIS. We still don't have details on what the
suspects had planned to do, but authorities believe they were
(01:30):
targeting at least one of the three shows in Vienna
that were slated to begin this weekend. The authorities saying
that the confirmation of a planned terrorist attack means that
they have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled
shows out of safety. This is going to be very
interesting to watch. The venue does plan to get full refunds,
(01:50):
but wondering if this effects future shows. A big one
is coming up a week from tonight when Taylor is
scheduled to perform in London at Wembley Stadium.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, that is terrifying, terrifying, I mean wow, especially I
mean not that it can happen anywhere, but we remember
the Manchester bombings that took place at the Ariana Grande
show just several years back.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Well, I'm being told that this is exceptionally challenging for her,
given that knife attack in London just a couple weeks
ago at that wonderful yoga studio where those three kids
were killed. So she is definitely taking this very seriously.
We haven't heard anything further from the team other than
the shows will not happen in Vienna. Kanye West is
(02:35):
blaming the booze, saying he was under the influence when
he fired off those anti Semitic statements back in twenty
twenty two. Remember that Twitter rant he went on, apparently
dropping the bombshell on Candice Owen's podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Here's What's Weird.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
This was actually filmed back in twenty twenty two, but
was only released yesterday.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Here's what he had to say about it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I definitely was drinking when I put up the deaf contry.
I definitely.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
You know, I had you know, who's I want to say?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Alcohol?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I had to sign me.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
But no, no, no, Hennessy. Oh it's interesting, Hennessy.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It turns us a gray and literally the demons just
come in.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Yeah. No, I honestly, I was fascinated when I learned
that the history of that, and it's literally because when
you drink, you become a different person. It's almost literally
that us spirit has taken over you. That's why they
call them spirits. Did you know that that's when I called
them spirits. Yes, absolutely, that's crazy. How come we didn't
put that operation out earlier that you were drinking?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Nobody asked, well, no, because I didn't want to discredit.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Oh here we go. We'll be like, oh no, every
time he tweets he's drunk, you know, yeah, yeah, because
it keeps on like taking away the fact of what
I was like saying.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
So kind of a classic Kanye non apology apology. It's
very similar to the stance he took a few months
ago where he still said some of those comments were
right on the money, saying he just didn't want to
him self to be discredited by admitting he was hammered
when he did it.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Come on now, Schmidty. He's a married band now. So
much in his life has changed. He's so much more
grounded these days.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Finally, WWE Legend Hulk Hogan is definitely keeping an eye
on the new project coming from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon,
saying listen, be careful or I will sue you. So
Ben and Matt are producing a new movie based on
the lawsuit that Hogan filed and won against Gawker. Remember
(04:31):
this was back in twenty sixteen, the site posted an
intimate video of Hogan and the wife of a friend.
There was also a racial situation and speech that came
out with this did not look good for Hulk, but
he ended up suing Gawker, winning one hundred and forty
million bucks.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Apparently they're going to do a movie about this.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Sources say Hulk has absolutely no involvement in it whatsoever,
and while he is currently indifferent about it, he has
warned if the movie treads into territory that a jury
already found was protected by his right to privacy, he
will not hesitate to pursue legal options. He's in a
really good place in his life right now, according to friends.
(05:11):
He has a new wife, he's become very spiritual, He's
got some exciting new business opportunities, and does not want
to see this movie derail any of those.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
As musculary as Haul Cogan is, I wouldn't be worried
about him so much as Peter Thiel, which is the
billionaire that backcall Cogan's lawsuit against Gawker, and who is
a big part of this movie project too, telling that
part of the story too. And he's a billionaire, so
messing with his lawyers a little different than hogus.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
All of your celeb scoop.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
But West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling? All right, let's
pick you up a little bit here, gets you feeling
good as you are maybe headed into work right now
and listening to start one oh five points. Yeah, but
it's Mac and Schmidty with you, and maybe as you're
on your way into that jobby job, yours readiness and
say to yourself, oh what I wouldn't give to win
(06:02):
the lotto? Well, it could happen, It can happen. It
did just in fact happen for one Grand Rapids man
who woke up feeling real good yesterday schmiddy like he's
dreaming talking about Juan silvera sixty nine year old Grand
Rapids gentlemen matched all five white balls back in March
thirtieth for the power Ball. Yes, he bought the lotto
(06:23):
ticket in Kentwood at Paris Spirits and Wine over on
East Parish Avenue and told thirteen on your side, I
played powerball regularly. After the Powerball drawing, I took my
ticket to the store and scanned it and got a
message to visit the lottery office. I showed my friend
the message, so he scanned my ticket using the lottery app.
When he showed me his phone screen with the amount
(06:45):
of one million dollars, I was in disbelief. Just I
can't imagine what that feeling would be like to, you know,
not sure if you had won, to somebody showing you
a phone screen that said your ticket was worth one
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Let you sleeping in, that's for sure, man.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Congratulations to one. And you know, like I said, if
you're headay to work, it can happen. It can happen.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
It finally happened for the two thy twenty two US
figure skaters getting their gold medals yesterday. That sounds confusing
to you, because wait, we're in Paris, it's twenty twenty four,
it's the Summer Olympics. These US athletes were awarded golden
medals for their team figure skating event following that insane
(07:29):
doping scandal with a Russian skater. So the nine members
of the US team waited two years to finally get awarded.
This here's the deal. It's the first time in history
Olympic athletes were not awarded their medals on site. So
back two years ago, the US finished second to the
Russian Olympic Committee, but roc athlete Camilla Velajeva tested positive
(07:54):
for a banned substance and the IOC declared no medals
would be presented for the team event. Team USA then
launched the more than Medals campaign to push them for
a final decision. Back on July twenty fifth, the Court
of Arbitration for Sport Pardon me, ruled the US would
be awarded gold. And check this out. It went down
(08:16):
yesterday under the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Gold medalisten Olympic champion the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Listen to that chant.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
It was such a moving moment, even more so because
their friends and family could actually be there. Remember COVID
was still a concern in twenty twenty two, no fans
were in Beijing. American figure skater Nathan Chen said, that's huge.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I mean, that's amazing. We didn't have family in Beijing.
So to be able to have our families here, to
be able to have you know, all our friends and
all this grand celebration, it really means a lot to us.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Might have taken two years, but your US figure skating
tea are the twenty twenty two Olympic gold medalists.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Well deserved to getting the flowers, But I mean I
do love that they got to actually do it at
an Olympic Games.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Oh absolutely, it was so cool. Great video at West
Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
All right, we're always here to tell you about something
awesome that's going on out there. You need a little
peck me up, you need a little positivity in your day,
We all really do. We'll do it again coming up
nine to twenty this morning here on Star one on five.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Four and seven movies, music and all the gossip in
one place.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It's the celebrity Scoop on Star one oh five point.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Seven man more breaking scoop about these Austrian Taylor Swift
shows that have officially been canceled. Can't imagine there's any
happy Swifties in Vienna. Due to government concerns about a
planned terrorist attack, Authorities not fully confident that they've caught
all the terrorists involved here. They say, well, the threat
(09:54):
has been minimized, there is still an abstract threat that
looms and makes this very very dangerous. Vienna police confirmed
they arrested two Austrian citizens after a bomb squad found
bomb making materials in the home of a nineteen year
old suspect. They still have not released those names. Cops
say both men were radicalized and had pledged allegiance to ISIS.
(10:17):
They believe the men were planning to target at least
one of the three shows that were slated to begin
in Vienna this weekend, although there's no further details on
what the men had planned. All tickets will be automatically
refunded to fans. No word from Taylor's team on whether
this will affect future performances. It's something I'm being told
(10:37):
has really shaken her up. Remember a week from tonight
she starts her huge London stop on the Aras tour,
while she will be performing at Wembley's Stadium.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
No targeting places where people peacefully gather to celebrate love
and life and music while on armed. It's just so
ridiculous and sad and scared that this has to be something.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
That kept to me.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Eighty five thousand plus fans they were expecting per show
for this Ohm. Also new breaking scoop bad news for
rapper Nelly busted in Missouri yesterday and cops are saying
illicit drugs are involved.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Here here's the deal.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the incident went down
at four forty five yesterday morning. The agency has a
gaming division where they had troopers stationed at the Hollywood Casino. Apparently,
Nelly was asked to show ID to police after winning
a jackpot, and when his info was run for verification,
police found in an active warrant for no insurance from
(11:41):
a previous traffic stop. He was arrested for that active
warrant and then searched. That's when cops say they found
four ecstasy pills on his person. Nelly was booked for
felony drug possession and a warrant for no vehicle insurance. However,
this morning, Nelly's legal team is firing back, saying he
was targeted by an over zealous, out of line officer.
(12:03):
Nellie's attorney said that Nelly had won jackpots before and
when he was told they needed to run a background check,
he knew it was bogus because there had been other
instances where he had won more money and no background
check was ever needed. Nellie's attorney says the officer conducted
the background check, found that previous traffic stop, and then
when he was informed of the warrant, They handcuffed Nelly,
(12:25):
paraded him through the casino to make sure other gamblers
would see him, and then said the arresting officer searched
Nelly without probable cause, which turned.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Up the drugs.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Nellie's attorney also says that active warrant was from a
traffic stop back in twenty eighteen, and he claims Nelly
was never given notice about this. As for Shanzi and
Nellie's Fielnce and baby Mama, she's unconcerned about this, according sources.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I mean, you thought you were feeling lucky, you'll want
a jackpot. The next thing you know, you're getting arrested
right there at the.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Casino, feeling that this is going to be tossed and
we're not going to hear much more about it. Finally,
Colin Ferrell is sharing how he's honoring his twenty year
old son James, amid his lifelong battle with Angelman syndrome.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
You might not know this.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
James was diagnosed back in two thousand and seven. This
is a rare neurogenetic disorder characterized by developmental delays, lack
of speech, seizures, and impaired balance, and it has become
an absolute passion for Colin to help other families. See
James is twenty, which means once you're twenty one, Ferrell
tells People Magazine, you're on your own. The safeguards that
(13:35):
were put in place, like special ed classes are all
of a sudden gone. You're left with a young adult
who should be an integrated part of modern society, but
is often left behind. That's why he's decided to start
the Colin Farrell Foundation.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Ears.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
I've wanted to do something in the realm of providing
greater opportunities for families who have a child with special
needs to receive the sport support that they deserve to receive,
and basically the assistance in life in all areas of life,
whether it's education, whether it's intervention, therapeutics, social environments that
(14:19):
their child can feel like they belong within, and just
so that families who have a child with special needs
can find a world of meaning and a life of
connection for their children.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
You know, I mean, I've never heard him talk about
his son like this. He said, I'm proud of him
every day. He's absolute magic. He gets really emotional talking
about how important this project is.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, can you can hear. Oh, just how much it's
personal for him.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Oh, when he talks about the first steps that James
took when he was four. You got to see at
West Michigan Star dot Com with.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
All of your skids, good morning to you. It's Mack
and Schmidty, and you just tell me you broke the
law unintentionally. But it was entirely your Google Maps fault.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Oh, it was one hundred percent Google Maps. Because if
you're like me and you're directionally impaired, you trust your
Maps app for everything. I mean, please don't come at
me and be like, go north, go east. I don't
know what that means. If I have to turn right
at the Red Barn, I would prefer that. So if
I have Helga, as I've called my navigational assistant, yelling
(15:20):
at me to go certain places, That's exactly what I'm
gonna do. And I was in the up over the
week and we talked about this, and usually I'm a
passenger princess on that ride. Chris always does the driving.
But because they went up early and I had to work,
I was doing the drive for the first time on
my own in probably about five years. And if you've
ever been to the up. We're on the eastern end
(15:40):
of it. Everything looks the same. The roads are like
sixteen percent paved. It's just a very different thing for me,
and I don't really have great service. So I get
to the point where I have to decide, Am I
going straight? Am I taking a right to get to
the farmhouse? And I know that I don't feel very
confident about it. And my Google Maps connected and I said, perfect,
(16:03):
it's going to tell me exactly what to do. And
it told me to take a rite, and to be fair,
my gut said, that doesn't seem right. I remember that
big sign and thinking you should go straight.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
But it's Google Maps, right, I mean, you can't argue
with computers.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
No, And you know, to be fair, Google Maps gives
you the shortest route, which is indeed what happened. It
took me down Swede Road and I circled all around
the huge limestone quarry.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
That's up there.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
So I knew right away, like I didn't do something right.
I've never driven past the quarry before. And then I
was going on roads that were you know, saying not
for public transit, this is only for pickup trucks. Somebody,
it's six point thirty pm. They've probably already blown the dynamite.
We're fine. And then I get to this skinny, teeny
tiny road of just rocks like it's not even asphalt,
(16:53):
it's not even gravel.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
It's just like rocks.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Side trail, not a two track, not even that bag,
not even that big. And I have that moment if
you've ever seen this episode of the Office where Steve
Correll is just so certain he has to follow his
Maps app make oh right turn.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
And wait wait wait wait wait, no, no, no, no, it
means bear right, not there. It said right, it said
take a right.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
No no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Look it means go up to the right, bear right
over the bridge and hook up with three or seven right.
Maybe it's a shortcut, dwight. It' said go to the right.
It can't mean that there's a light where it is
going machine machine alway.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
No.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
And will I drive into a lake because Google Maps
has told me to yes? And now you know that
that is a stupid part of me, because I'm like, Okay,
I'm got to take this road. It's unmarked. It's completely unmarked.
It's not designed for cars or vehicles of any kind.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
And so I do it.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
I'm driving really slow and suddenly my phone connects for
a minute, so I call Chris. I'm like, hey, hey,
and I explain where it is, and he's like, oh, man,
get out of there right now, that's not for you.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Get out.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
And it was turns out like a hunting ATV trail.
And I discovered that when someone pulled up next to
me yelled at me so bad that I sped up,
and then eventually I popped out exactly where I needed
to be. Was I supposed to take that? Absolutely not.
Could I've been arrested, probably? But what they have like
two cops in the up.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Anyway, right, I mean I'm surprised actually one of them
wasn't sitting right there watching you during this entire saga.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
But I mean the guy I wanted to sitizen arrest me.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
That is for some and it's Thursday, as we throw
it back, you could be seeing that lie at the
Meyer Gardens.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Just tell us what year was it?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Oh well, that's just as fascinating as the first eighty
nine times you told me that.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Royalty gentry and.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Maybe we could come underwater. What if we went underwater? Wait? Idea, babe?
Thank you bat man, your ideas that I'm play are?
I just said that man, Chris Bratt had a really
big year this year. I guess, Hi, Star, who's this?
You said? Corey y the Laurie? Where are you calling

Speaker 3 (19:26):

Oh, Lrie, not that?

was not twenty fifteen like she guessed. So, Lorie, what
year was it? Oh? That's what I was gonna get too.
I'll say twenty fourteen.
Speaker 5 (19:53):

we'll be getting you in every Thursday as we do Udies,
music and all the gossip in one place. It's this
Celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
It was wild.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Following this story yesterday, breaking Swifty News out of Austria
as Taylor's ariostour in Vienna has officially been canceled due
to government concerns about a planned terrorist attack. Here is
a piece of the latest press conference.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And the folk happened officially concretive four Piretun Sandrung and
terroristician a Keetro.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Yeah you heard that big word.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Terroristic authority say they cannot be fully confident they have
caught all of those involved in this planned attack.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Here's what happened.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Vienna police say they arrested two Austrian citizens after a
bomb squad found bomb making materials in the home of
a nineteen year old suspect. While the threat's been minimized,
they admit there's still an abstract threat and considering that
the unbelievably big stadium this is Ernst Happle holds more
(21:19):
than eighty five thousand, it just would not be okay
or safe to continue those scheduled events. Taylor has so
far not spoken about this, but her team is watching
things very very closely. Not sure if this will affect
future shows.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
One week from tonight is one of her biggest UK stops.
She hits London to perform at Wembley Stadium. So this
is just really intense stuff happening.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, I mean something that when from being so uplifting
and bright, it seemed like everywhere the Aras Tour when
getting very serious real quickly.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Speaking of Taylor, Travis Kelsey is apparently upgrading his six
million dollar Kansas City mansion to make it a bit
more homide for Taylor. Yes, remember she has a two
month hiatus after she wraps up things overseas before some
more US dates for that aristour, and she plans to
spend a lot of it with the Kansas City quarterback.
(22:15):
Sources say he has especially poured a lot of money
into the kitchen, seeing as how Taylor absolutely loves cooking
and hanging out with friends. They say she is absolutely
planning for Kansas City to be a home base for
her and will be at as many of Travis's games
as possible, And that includes the big kickoff on September fifth,
where the Chiefs hosted the Baltimore Ravens at home.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
So we get Taylor watch in the NFL a whole
other season of it.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
And finally, I'm sorry, parents, don't shoot the messenger, but
the Disney Company has officially confirmed they are raising the
prices for all standalone tiers of Disney Plus.

weeks ago, and Michelle actually got two strikes in a row,

got to tell me. One hundred guys were asked Hadley
to name a term that's used in bowling. What do
you think? Their top answer was right, you're going with
strike When you went bowling, did you get any strikes?
I got a bunch. Oh yeah, she got a bunch.
(25:30):
I like it, Hadley. You're going to the circus strikes
The top answer, Congratulations, you guys got You're welcome. You've
got four tickets to go to Ringling Brothers and Barnum
and Bailey, the greatest show on Earth this October at
Van Andelerina. Congratulations, Hadley. Fine, they called me back there, Hadley. Congrats,
(25:52):
you've got those circus tickets and we're gonna do it
again tomorrow. Battle of the Sex is eight fifteen, another
shot to win right here on Star one oh five points.
Thanks for hacking out this morning. It's back in Schmitty,
and perhaps you were finding yourself. I had a similar
boat to most parents are on West Michigan right now.
We're back to school shopping is on deck for a
(26:12):
lot of us. Schmitty.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, my friends have less than ten days.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Less than ten days, I think we're about in that zone.
Two are pretty close to at SCHMITTI so we actually
went out back to school shopping with my two kids. Actually,
I'll just not lie. My wife went out shopping with
my two kids for back to school shopping. But I
started getting the text messages and the phone calls back
as we were having maybe a little bit of a
(26:37):
tantrum at Old Navy. Why because my son refuses to
wear anything except forth leisure wears.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
This so weird to me.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I think it's a really big thing for like pandemic kids,
kids who started out school during that era that didn't
have to just get dressed in normal clothes every day.
That's what I think. Might it be because he refuses
to wear anything that is not that like dry fit
style material or like regular athletic fit pants.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Which like I dig for shirts, Yeah, but I do too. Bans,
Come on.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
He can't. He refuses to wear jeans. This has been
a thing for a while. Jeans, they used to be
We used to joke around because we lived in Vegas
for a while and then so it was always hot,
so you didn't wear jeans very often. That we moved
back here and you had obviously the pandemic and everything happened,
so didn't wear jeans. So jeans were his fancy pants.
Only time I ever to wear jeans was been, you know,
we're going to church or we're going to in events,
(27:32):
something like that. So in his head, that's like super dressy.
So I've got this kid who I just can't relate
to in that front, because when we were young, jeans
were where. It was that, Oh man, could I get
a pair of guest jeans? Are you kidding me? There
couldn't have been anything cooler.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
So I've never done back to school clothes shopping because
I went to a Catholic school for sixteen years. I
did not wear regular people clothes until I went to
Grand Valley. It was like my pre color skirt and
polo shirts. He even polo or I have the button
over jumpers and the Peter Pan collared blouses. From preschool
(28:07):
until my senior year, of high school. So then my
kids went to a private school the last three years.
This is the first time I have ever done back
to school clothes shopping. It is totally different to me.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I have no idea for it.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I just think it's so weird to be like freaked
out by jeans. The jeans are too constricting.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I mean, jeans are constricting. They are the worst.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
You're talking to someone who went through three years of
college and jeggings.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Is this generation Generation Alpha that gonna be the generation
SCHMITTI that kills the genes, that ends jeans wearing, Like
almost in.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Totality, he brought us the mom jeans. Well, you know
I was out last night. Let me tell you that
is still in very high demand.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Well it shouldn't be, So maybe that is a good
thing about If you're gonna end any type of jeans,
it should be the mom jean smitty because that's a
terrible look that nobody should be taking advantage of me.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
That's comfy.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
What are your kids clothing quirks? We've got this going
on Facebook, people who wear socks on their hands every day.
That's gonna be a tough one to deal with. This
apparent u schwitty. Have you heard of Kate Greenway dresses? Oh?
I don't know they had secret pockets. Man, don't tell
my wife about that. I think she'd be making some
purchases sometime because I get a good feeling. Well, let's
(29:19):
brighten up this already beautiful looking Thursday. Feeling good right
now and starting on five point seven Mack and Schmidti
with you.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Man, big congratulations once again, Doctor Brian Huffman officially completed
the Catalina Channel swim.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I have talked a ton about this guy.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
He is the first Michigander to successfully complete what they
call the Triple Crown of open water swimming, which means
doctor Huffman from Holland has swam the English Channel, the
Twenty Bridges Swim and now the Catalina Channel. The reason
I love this he does it all to raise money
for swim lessons. He is teamed up with the Holland
(30:01):
Aquatic Center, checking in on his wife giving the big announcement.
It was sixteen hours, thirty three minutes, thirty eight seconds
pending ratification. His wife, who was also his crew chief, Stacy, said,
we are so proud of you. You have an incredible
amount of determination and tenacity. You set your mind to
(30:21):
something and you work so hard to achieve that goal,
and this was no easy feat. According to The Observer
and CCSF president, they had the roughest night and morning
of their season so far when he decided to do
this swim. Hard fought, achievement and experience pulled him through.
(30:42):
Brian's been dedicated to supporting free or reduced cost swimming
lessons to kids in West Michigan. His swims so far
have raised almost fifty thousand dollars. So Bravobrian the official
Triple Crown of.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Open water swimming.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Sixteen plus hours. Yeah, straight swimming. I mean, it just
blows my mind. Unbelievable. Schmetti. I don't know what they're
doing over at john ballsoo. I feel like maybe they're
playing Marvin Gay after everybody leaves for the night and
just leave it on for the animals, because and they
got some serious baby fever going on over there. Following
already recent births of snow leopards, lynxes and penguins earlier
(31:19):
this year, the john Ball Zoo has now welcomed an
extremely endangered Eastern Mountain bongo calf. Schmitty calf's name is
Chestnut Chestnut. She was born on July twenty third. This
is this second little baby Bongo for the twos breeding bongos,
Bexen and Carriage Smitty. And when I say endangered, we're
(31:40):
talking less than two hundred of these animals left in
the wild today.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
That's what's cool about going to the zoo. It's their conservation.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I mean, it is an unbelievable thing that they're doing.
This is like the largest antelopes in the world, basically
in the forested mountains of Kenya. Or you can go
see them at the John Ball Zoo. Chestnut expected to
be on display in her habitat over at the Zoo
starting as soon as next week. So get to go
check out that baby Bongo. Schmitty Dute love it Feeling
good comes at you twice a day. I always want
(32:07):
to pick you up with something great going on out there.
And we'll do it again for you tomorrow, 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 five point seven
Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh
of it.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven. Good morning, Smitty, Good morning. Welcome into
what do we refer to it as gains weekendy ah, yes,
weekend e vis upon us here as we are thoroughly
into August, now the month of kids go back to
school in sh I don't say anything to them. They're
still asleep anyway, so you can feel free to do
(00:32):
cartwheels and yell and fist pump in the air.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Maybe not yell. We want to keep them sleeping, all right, Early.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Well this is half wild, half absolutely terrifying. Taylor Swift's
concerts in Vienna have officially been canceled due to government
concerns about a planned terrorist attack. Are not fully confident
they've caught all the terrorists involved in the planned attack,
They say, while the threat has been minimized, there's still
(01:08):
an abstract threat that looms. According to Vienna authorities, they
arrested two Austrian citizens after a bomb squad found bomb
making materials in the home of a nineteen year old suspect.
Cops say both men were radicalized and had pledged allegiance
to ISIS. We still don't have details on what the
suspects had planned to do, but authorities believe they were
(01:30):
targeting at least one of the three shows in Vienna
that were slated to begin this weekend. The authorities saying
that the confirmation of a planned terrorist attack means that
they have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled
shows out of safety. This is going to be very
interesting to watch. The venue does plan to get full refunds,
(01:50):
but wondering if this effects future shows. A big one
is coming up a week from tonight when Taylor is
scheduled to perform in London at Wembley Stadium.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, that is terrifying, terrifying, I mean wow, especially I
mean not that it can happen anywhere, but we remember
the Manchester bombings that took place at the Ariana Grande
show just several years back.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Well, I'm being told that this is exceptionally challenging for her,
given that knife attack in London just a couple weeks
ago at that wonderful yoga studio where those three kids
were killed. So she is definitely taking this very seriously.
We haven't heard anything further from the team other than
the shows will not happen in Vienna. Kanye West is
(02:35):
blaming the booze, saying he was under the influence when
he fired off those anti Semitic statements back in twenty
twenty two. Remember that Twitter rant he went on, apparently
dropping the bombshell on Candice Owen's podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Here's What's Weird.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
This was actually filmed back in twenty twenty two, but
was only released yesterday.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Here's what he had to say about it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I definitely was drinking when I put up the deaf contry.
I definitely.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
You know, I had you know, who's I want to say?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Alcohol?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I had to sign me.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
But no, no, no, Hennessy. Oh it's interesting, Hennessy.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It turns us a gray and literally the demons just
come in.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Yeah. No, I honestly, I was fascinated when I learned
that the history of that, and it's literally because when
you drink, you become a different person. It's almost literally
that us spirit has taken over you. That's why they
call them spirits. Did you know that that's when I called
them spirits. Yes, absolutely, that's crazy. How come we didn't
put that operation out earlier that you were drinking?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Nobody asked, well, no, because I didn't want to discredit.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Oh here we go. We'll be like, oh no, every
time he tweets he's drunk, you know, yeah, yeah, because
it keeps on like taking away the fact of what
I was like saying.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
So kind of a classic Kanye non apology apology. It's
very similar to the stance he took a few months
ago where he still said some of those comments were
right on the money, saying he just didn't want to
him self to be discredited by admitting he was hammered
when he did it.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Come on now, Schmidty. He's a married band now. So
much in his life has changed. He's so much more
grounded these days.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Finally, WWE Legend Hulk Hogan is definitely keeping an eye
on the new project coming from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon,
saying listen, be careful or I will sue you. So
Ben and Matt are producing a new movie based on
the lawsuit that Hogan filed and won against Gawker. Remember
(04:31):
this was back in twenty sixteen, the site posted an
intimate video of Hogan and the wife of a friend.
There was also a racial situation and speech that came
out with this did not look good for Hulk, but
he ended up suing Gawker, winning one hundred and forty
million bucks.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Apparently they're going to do a movie about this.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Sources say Hulk has absolutely no involvement in it whatsoever,
and while he is currently indifferent about it, he has
warned if the movie treads into territory that a jury
already found was protected by his right to privacy, he
will not hesitate to pursue legal options. He's in a
really good place in his life right now, according to friends.
(05:11):
He has a new wife, he's become very spiritual, He's
got some exciting new business opportunities, and does not want
to see this movie derail any of those.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
As musculary as Haul Cogan is, I wouldn't be worried
about him so much as Peter Thiel, which is the
billionaire that backcall Cogan's lawsuit against Gawker, and who is
a big part of this movie project too, telling that
part of the story too. And he's a billionaire, so
messing with his lawyers a little different than hogus.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
All of your celeb scoop.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
But West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling? All right, let's
pick you up a little bit here, gets you feeling
good as you are maybe headed into work right now
and listening to start one oh five points. Yeah, but
it's Mac and Schmidty with you, and maybe as you're
on your way into that jobby job, yours readiness and
say to yourself, oh what I wouldn't give to win
(06:02):
the lotto? Well, it could happen, It can happen. It
did just in fact happen for one Grand Rapids man
who woke up feeling real good yesterday schmiddy like he's
dreaming talking about Juan silvera sixty nine year old Grand
Rapids gentlemen matched all five white balls back in March
thirtieth for the power Ball. Yes, he bought the lotto
(06:23):
ticket in Kentwood at Paris Spirits and Wine over on
East Parish Avenue and told thirteen on your side, I
played powerball regularly. After the Powerball drawing, I took my
ticket to the store and scanned it and got a
message to visit the lottery office. I showed my friend
the message, so he scanned my ticket using the lottery app.
When he showed me his phone screen with the amount
(06:45):
of one million dollars, I was in disbelief. Just I
can't imagine what that feeling would be like to, you know,
not sure if you had won, to somebody showing you
a phone screen that said your ticket was worth one
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Let you sleeping in, that's for sure, man.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Congratulations to one. And you know, like I said, if
you're headay to work, it can happen. It can happen.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
It finally happened for the two thy twenty two US
figure skaters getting their gold medals yesterday. That sounds confusing
to you, because wait, we're in Paris, it's twenty twenty four,
it's the Summer Olympics. These US athletes were awarded golden
medals for their team figure skating event following that insane
(07:29):
doping scandal with a Russian skater. So the nine members
of the US team waited two years to finally get awarded.
This here's the deal. It's the first time in history
Olympic athletes were not awarded their medals on site. So
back two years ago, the US finished second to the
Russian Olympic Committee, but roc athlete Camilla Velajeva tested positive
(07:54):
for a banned substance and the IOC declared no medals
would be presented for the team event. Team USA then
launched the more than Medals campaign to push them for
a final decision. Back on July twenty fifth, the Court
of Arbitration for Sport Pardon me, ruled the US would
be awarded gold. And check this out. It went down
(08:16):
yesterday under the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Gold medalisten Olympic champion the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Listen to that chant.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
It was such a moving moment, even more so because
their friends and family could actually be there. Remember COVID
was still a concern in twenty twenty two, no fans
were in Beijing. American figure skater Nathan Chen said, that's huge.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I mean, that's amazing. We didn't have family in Beijing.
So to be able to have our families here, to
be able to have you know, all our friends and
all this grand celebration, it really means a lot to us.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Might have taken two years, but your US figure skating
tea are the twenty twenty two Olympic gold medalists.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Well deserved to getting the flowers, But I mean I
do love that they got to actually do it at
an Olympic Games.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Oh absolutely, it was so cool. Great video at West
Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
All right, we're always here to tell you about something
awesome that's going on out there. You need a little
peck me up, you need a little positivity in your day,
We all really do. We'll do it again coming up
nine to twenty this morning here on Star one on five.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Four and seven movies, music and all the gossip in
one place.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It's the celebrity Scoop on Star one oh five point.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Seven man more breaking scoop about these Austrian Taylor Swift
shows that have officially been canceled. Can't imagine there's any
happy Swifties in Vienna. Due to government concerns about a
planned terrorist attack, Authorities not fully confident that they've caught
all the terrorists involved here. They say, well, the threat
(09:54):
has been minimized, there is still an abstract threat that
looms and makes this very very dangerous. Vienna police confirmed
they arrested two Austrian citizens after a bomb squad found
bomb making materials in the home of a nineteen year
old suspect. They still have not released those names. Cops
say both men were radicalized and had pledged allegiance to ISIS.
(10:17):
They believe the men were planning to target at least
one of the three shows that were slated to begin
in Vienna this weekend, although there's no further details on
what the men had planned. All tickets will be automatically
refunded to fans. No word from Taylor's team on whether
this will affect future performances. It's something I'm being told
(10:37):
has really shaken her up. Remember a week from tonight
she starts her huge London stop on the Aras tour,
while she will be performing at Wembley's Stadium.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
No targeting places where people peacefully gather to celebrate love
and life and music while on armed. It's just so
ridiculous and sad and scared that this has to be something.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
That kept to me.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Eighty five thousand plus fans they were expecting per show
for this Ohm. Also new breaking scoop bad news for
rapper Nelly busted in Missouri yesterday and cops are saying
illicit drugs are involved.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Here here's the deal.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the incident went down
at four forty five yesterday morning. The agency has a
gaming division where they had troopers stationed at the Hollywood Casino. Apparently,
Nelly was asked to show ID to police after winning
a jackpot, and when his info was run for verification,
police found in an active warrant for no insurance from
(11:41):
a previous traffic stop. He was arrested for that active
warrant and then searched. That's when cops say they found
four ecstasy pills on his person. Nelly was booked for
felony drug possession and a warrant for no vehicle insurance. However,
this morning, Nelly's legal team is firing back, saying he
was targeted by an over zealous, out of line officer.
(12:03):
Nellie's attorney said that Nelly had won jackpots before and
when he was told they needed to run a background check,
he knew it was bogus because there had been other
instances where he had won more money and no background
check was ever needed. Nellie's attorney says the officer conducted
the background check, found that previous traffic stop, and then
when he was informed of the warrant, They handcuffed Nelly,
(12:25):
paraded him through the casino to make sure other gamblers
would see him, and then said the arresting officer searched
Nelly without probable cause, which turned.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Up the drugs.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Nellie's attorney also says that active warrant was from a
traffic stop back in twenty eighteen, and he claims Nelly
was never given notice about this. As for Shanzi and
Nellie's Fielnce and baby Mama, she's unconcerned about this, according sources.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I mean, you thought you were feeling lucky, you'll want
a jackpot. The next thing you know, you're getting arrested
right there at the.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Casino, feeling that this is going to be tossed and
we're not going to hear much more about it. Finally,
Colin Ferrell is sharing how he's honoring his twenty year
old son James, amid his lifelong battle with Angelman syndrome.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
You might not know this.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
James was diagnosed back in two thousand and seven. This
is a rare neurogenetic disorder characterized by developmental delays, lack
of speech, seizures, and impaired balance, and it has become
an absolute passion for Colin to help other families. See
James is twenty, which means once you're twenty one, Ferrell
tells People Magazine, you're on your own. The safeguards that
(13:35):
were put in place, like special ed classes are all
of a sudden gone. You're left with a young adult
who should be an integrated part of modern society, but
is often left behind. That's why he's decided to start
the Colin Farrell Foundation.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Ears.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
I've wanted to do something in the realm of providing
greater opportunities for families who have a child with special
needs to receive the sport support that they deserve to receive,
and basically the assistance in life in all areas of life,
whether it's education, whether it's intervention, therapeutics, social environments that
(14:19):
their child can feel like they belong within, and just
so that families who have a child with special needs
can find a world of meaning and a life of
connection for their children.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
You know, I mean, I've never heard him talk about
his son like this. He said, I'm proud of him
every day. He's absolute magic. He gets really emotional talking
about how important this project is.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, can you can hear. Oh, just how much it's
personal for him.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Oh, when he talks about the first steps that James
took when he was four. You got to see at
West Michigan Star dot Com with.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
All of your skids, good morning to you. It's Mack
and Schmidty, and you just tell me you broke the
law unintentionally. But it was entirely your Google Maps fault.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Oh, it was one hundred percent Google Maps. Because if
you're like me and you're directionally impaired, you trust your
Maps app for everything. I mean, please don't come at
me and be like, go north, go east. I don't
know what that means. If I have to turn right
at the Red Barn, I would prefer that. So if
I have Helga, as I've called my navigational assistant, yelling
(15:20):
at me to go certain places, That's exactly what I'm
gonna do. And I was in the up over the
week and we talked about this, and usually I'm a
passenger princess on that ride. Chris always does the driving.
But because they went up early and I had to work,
I was doing the drive for the first time on
my own in probably about five years. And if you've
ever been to the up. We're on the eastern end
(15:40):
of it. Everything looks the same. The roads are like
sixteen percent paved. It's just a very different thing for me,
and I don't really have great service. So I get
to the point where I have to decide, Am I
going straight? Am I taking a right to get to
the farmhouse? And I know that I don't feel very
confident about it. And my Google Maps connected and I said, perfect,
(16:03):
it's going to tell me exactly what to do. And
it told me to take a rite, and to be fair,
my gut said, that doesn't seem right. I remember that
big sign and thinking you should go straight.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
But it's Google Maps, right, I mean, you can't argue
with computers.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
No, And you know, to be fair, Google Maps gives
you the shortest route, which is indeed what happened. It
took me down Swede Road and I circled all around
the huge limestone quarry.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
That's up there.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
So I knew right away, like I didn't do something right.
I've never driven past the quarry before. And then I
was going on roads that were you know, saying not
for public transit, this is only for pickup trucks. Somebody,
it's six point thirty pm. They've probably already blown the dynamite.
We're fine. And then I get to this skinny, teeny
tiny road of just rocks like it's not even asphalt,
(16:53):
it's not even gravel.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
It's just like rocks.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Side trail, not a two track, not even that bag,
not even that big. And I have that moment if
you've ever seen this episode of the Office where Steve
Correll is just so certain he has to follow his
Maps app make oh right turn.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
And wait wait wait wait wait, no, no, no, no, it
means bear right, not there. It said right, it said
take a right.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
No no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Look it means go up to the right, bear right
over the bridge and hook up with three or seven right.
Maybe it's a shortcut, dwight. It' said go to the right.
It can't mean that there's a light where it is
going machine machine alway.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
No.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
And will I drive into a lake because Google Maps
has told me to yes? And now you know that
that is a stupid part of me, because I'm like, Okay,
I'm got to take this road. It's unmarked. It's completely unmarked.
It's not designed for cars or vehicles of any kind.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
And so I do it.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
I'm driving really slow and suddenly my phone connects for
a minute, so I call Chris. I'm like, hey, hey,
and I explain where it is, and he's like, oh, man,
get out of there right now, that's not for you.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Get out.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
And it was turns out like a hunting ATV trail.
And I discovered that when someone pulled up next to
me yelled at me so bad that I sped up,
and then eventually I popped out exactly where I needed
to be. Was I supposed to take that? Absolutely not.
Could I've been arrested, probably? But what they have like
two cops in the up.

Following this story yesterday, breaking Swifty News out of Austria
as Taylor's ariostour in Vienna has officially been canceled due
to government concerns about a planned terrorist attack. Here is
a piece of the latest press conference.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And the folk happened officially concretive four Piretun Sandrung and
terroristician a Keetro.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Yeah you heard that big word.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Terroristic authority say they cannot be fully confident they have
caught all of those involved in this planned attack.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Here's what happened.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Vienna police say they arrested two Austrian citizens after a
bomb squad found bomb making materials in the home of
a nineteen year old suspect. While the threat's been minimized,
they admit there's still an abstract threat and considering that
the unbelievably big stadium this is Ernst Happle holds more
(21:19):
than eighty five thousand, it just would not be okay
or safe to continue those scheduled events. Taylor has so
far not spoken about this, but her team is watching
things very very closely. Not sure if this will affect
future shows.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
One week from tonight is one of her biggest UK stops.
She hits London to perform at Wembley Stadium. So this
is just really intense stuff happening.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, I mean something that when from being so uplifting
and bright, it seemed like everywhere the Aras Tour when
getting very serious real quickly.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Speaking of Taylor, Travis Kelsey is apparently upgrading his six
million dollar Kansas City mansion to make it a bit
more homide for Taylor. Yes, remember she has a two
month hiatus after she wraps up things overseas before some
more US dates for that aristour, and she plans to
spend a lot of it with the Kansas City quarterback.
(22:15):
Sources say he has especially poured a lot of money
into the kitchen, seeing as how Taylor absolutely loves cooking
and hanging out with friends. They say she is absolutely
planning for Kansas City to be a home base for
her and will be at as many of Travis's games
as possible, And that includes the big kickoff on September fifth,
where the Chiefs hosted the Baltimore Ravens at home.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
So we get Taylor watch in the NFL a whole
other season of it.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
And finally, I'm sorry, parents, don't shoot the messenger, but
the Disney Company has officially confirmed they are raising the
prices for all standalone tiers of Disney Plus.
Speaker 3 (22:53):

Speaker 5 (22:55):

Thanks for hacking out this morning. It's back in Schmitty,
and perhaps you were finding yourself. I had a similar
boat to most parents are on West Michigan right now.
We're back to school shopping is on deck for a
(26:12):
lot of us. Schmitty.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, my friends have less than ten days.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Less than ten days, I think we're about in that zone.
Two are pretty close to at SCHMITTI so we actually
went out back to school shopping with my two kids. Actually,
I'll just not lie. My wife went out shopping with
my two kids for back to school shopping. But I
started getting the text messages and the phone calls back
as we were having maybe a little bit of a
(26:37):
tantrum at Old Navy. Why because my son refuses to
wear anything except forth leisure wears.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
This so weird to me.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I think it's a really big thing for like pandemic kids,
kids who started out school during that era that didn't
have to just get dressed in normal clothes every day.
That's what I think. Might it be because he refuses
to wear anything that is not that like dry fit
style material or like regular athletic fit pants.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Which like I dig for shirts, Yeah, but I do too. Bans,
Come on.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
He can't. He refuses to wear jeans. This has been
a thing for a while. Jeans, they used to be
We used to joke around because we lived in Vegas
for a while and then so it was always hot,
so you didn't wear jeans very often. That we moved
back here and you had obviously the pandemic and everything happened,
so didn't wear jeans. So jeans were his fancy pants.
Only time I ever to wear jeans was been, you know,
we're going to church or we're going to in events,
(27:32):
something like that. So in his head, that's like super dressy.
So I've got this kid who I just can't relate
to in that front, because when we were young, jeans
were where. It was that, Oh man, could I get
a pair of guest jeans? Are you kidding me? There
couldn't have been anything cooler.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
So I've never done back to school clothes shopping because
I went to a Catholic school for sixteen years. I
did not wear regular people clothes until I went to
Grand Valley. It was like my pre color skirt and
polo shirts. He even polo or I have the button
over jumpers and the Peter Pan collared blouses. From preschool
(28:07):
until my senior year, of high school. So then my
kids went to a private school the last three years.
This is the first time I have ever done back
to school clothes shopping. It is totally different to me.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I have no idea for it.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I just think it's so weird to be like freaked
out by jeans. The jeans are too constricting.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I mean, jeans are constricting. They are the worst.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
You're talking to someone who went through three years of
college and jeggings.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Is this generation Generation Alpha that gonna be the generation
SCHMITTI that kills the genes, that ends jeans wearing, Like
almost in.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Totality, he brought us the mom jeans. Well, you know
I was out last night. Let me tell you that
is still in very high demand.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Well it shouldn't be, So maybe that is a good
thing about If you're gonna end any type of jeans,
it should be the mom jean smitty because that's a
terrible look that nobody should be taking advantage of me.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
That's comfy.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
What are your kids clothing quirks? We've got this going
on Facebook, people who wear socks on their hands every day.
That's gonna be a tough one to deal with. This
apparent u schwitty. Have you heard of Kate Greenway dresses? Oh?
I don't know they had secret pockets. Man, don't tell
my wife about that. I think she'd be making some
purchases sometime because I get a good feeling. Well, let's
(29:19):
brighten up this already beautiful looking Thursday. Feeling good right
now and starting on five point seven Mack and Schmidti
with you.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Man, big congratulations once again, Doctor Brian Huffman officially completed
the Catalina Channel swim.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I have talked a ton about this guy.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
He is the first Michigander to successfully complete what they
call the Triple Crown of open water swimming, which means
doctor Huffman from Holland has swam the English Channel, the
Twenty Bridges Swim and now the Catalina Channel. The reason
I love this he does it all to raise money
for swim lessons. He is teamed up with the Holland
(30:01):
Aquatic Center, checking in on his wife giving the big announcement.
It was sixteen hours, thirty three minutes, thirty eight seconds
pending ratification. His wife, who was also his crew chief, Stacy, said,
we are so proud of you. You have an incredible
amount of determination and tenacity. You set your mind to
(30:21):
something and you work so hard to achieve that goal,
and this was no easy feat. According to The Observer
and CCSF president, they had the roughest night and morning
of their season so far when he decided to do
this swim. Hard fought, achievement and experience pulled him through.
(30:42):
Brian's been dedicated to supporting free or reduced cost swimming
lessons to kids in West Michigan. His swims so far
have raised almost fifty thousand dollars. So Bravobrian the official
Triple Crown of.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Open water swimming.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Sixteen plus hours. Yeah, straight swimming. I mean, it just
blows my mind. Unbelievable. Schmetti. I don't know what they're
doing over at john ballsoo. I feel like maybe they're
playing Marvin Gay after everybody leaves for the night and
just leave it on for the animals, because and they
got some serious baby fever going on over there. Following
already recent births of snow leopards, lynxes and penguins earlier
(31:19):
this year, the john Ball Zoo has now welcomed an
extremely endangered Eastern Mountain bongo calf. Schmitty calf's name is
Chestnut Chestnut. She was born on July twenty third. This
is this second little baby Bongo for the twos breeding bongos,
Bexen and Carriage Smitty. And when I say endangered, we're
(31:40):
talking less than two hundred of these animals left in
the wild today.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
That's what's cool about going to the zoo. It's their conservation.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I mean, it is an unbelievable thing that they're doing.
This is like the largest antelopes in the world, basically
in the forested mountains of Kenya. Or you can go
see them at the John Ball Zoo. Chestnut expected to
be on display in her habitat over at the Zoo
starting as soon as next week. So get to go
check out that baby Bongo. Schmitty Dute love it Feeling
good comes at you twice a day. I always want
(32:07):
to pick you up with something great going on out there.
