Happy Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
And I don't know where what it's like your work

like everyone in my life going into today is already
into the weekend and it's already all about.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
The lion Schmitty.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Nobody's getting any actual work done today.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
All I'm hearing today is like, what are your plans
for all day long tomorrow? Because even though of the
game doesn't start till eight pm, Yeah, there's other playoff
games on, but even that is like secondary to the
idea of well, we just got to get ready.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I mean, I know people leaving today. I know people
that are like, they're going to the the Auto Show
is doing that huge rally tonight over in Detroit. Like,
I know people that have already fully checked out. My
buddy's got his tickets already four rows back from the
field for tomorrow night, and he's like, oh, I'm gonna
barely barely be able to focus today. This is a
(01:06):
big weekend, you guys. It is a big weekend. By
the way, speaking of Lions, if you are having to
do some traveling during that eight pm game tomorrow night,
check out our sister station Big one on one point three.
They're gonna have covered starting at seven. Can you know,
listen in your car or listen where you're gonna be going,
because you don't want to miss a moment of what
that's gonna be. I was out last night doing some
(01:27):
awesome work with Downtown Grand Rapids, Inc. And Broadway gr
and everybody was talking about how big this game is
gonna be. Randy Finch was out hanging with him last night.
He's got the ice sculpture, headed to Rochester this afternoon
to do a big display. It's just a really fun time.
It's a really fun time.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Well, this is a first. President ELEC. Donald Trump is
bestowing a new honor on his most vocal celebrity supporters,
tapping John Boyd, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone as Hollywood's
new special Ambassadors. Announcing these roles on Truth Social yesterday,
he explained they'll serve as special envoys to me for
(02:13):
the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business
over the last four years to foreign countries, back, bigger, better,
and stronger than ever before. These three very talented people
will be my eyes and ears, and I will get
done what they suggest. It will again be like the
United States of America itself, the golden age of Hollywood.
(02:35):
He didn't really elaborate further on what kinds of things
they would be doing, but Mel Gibson, for one, is
still in La figuring out his next moves after being
announce as another celebrity that did lose his home in
that Palisades fire. I've got video of that. At West
Michigan star dot Com, Elon Musk is trying to shrug
off yet another explosion during a test launch for Starship
(03:00):
and this is uh what it launched yesterday and almost
immediately blew off. You can see from videos that were
posted like these people who were in the Turks and
Caicos and actually saw this. Five Yeah, Elon go into
X saying success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Love the idea of this splace of the space exploration
and getting up in there. It just seems like we
have a rocket that blows up like every month.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, Finally, the iconic home Alone mansion has officially sold
who five point five million dollars. This is in Illinois,
of course, first listed back in May of last year,
but it looks like the new owners really want to
keep it that holiday feel of the Oh my gosh,
(03:53):
what was their names in it alone? Keep plunning the
same anyway. I kept saying McCauley, Culkin, Simon, Tricia Johnson
the original owners and got a sneak peek actually gave
people some picks which we haven't seen before. This is unreal.
They've got like an incredible home theater where they have
a life sized lego made of Kevin inside indoor basketball court.
(04:15):
The foyer is perfect, exactly from the movie. Five bedrooms,
six baths, a top tier indoor sports court. This is unbelievable.
The only thing that comes with this as well all
those people stopping on your front lawn and taking all
the pictures and videos.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
That's my question for you.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, does it like the McAllister family, by the way,
is what I can It was burned into my brain too.
Does that make it not worth five million dollars and.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
They've got a big old privacy fence up and the
cops are always going through there at the holidays. So
no five point five million dollar home. I'd go ahead
and handle that if it meant living there. I've got
some great pictures of it. If you love that movie
with your scoop at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling? Yeah, still on
a five point seven g f tu it's mack and
spending with feeling good right now. And of course you
know it's a situation we've faced many times living here
in Michigan, ordering delivery food when the weather's not so
great outside.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
It's been the driver.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I've been the driver, I've been the receiver of it.
I'll just be honest. But at the same time, you
know those folks when they go out in it, you
gotta hook them up right, You gotta do a good
tip for him. But that's not what the experience for
a delivery driver down in Brownsburg, Indiana, who recently went
viral after this guy, this delivery driver literally trekking up
(05:36):
a hill through his snowstorm because he couldn't get his
car up the street. Meanwhile, there were residents standing around,
including school Resource Officer Richard Craig of the Evon School
Police Department, who witnessed the whole thing. Was actually on
Instagram live when this happened to be caught this dedicated
delivery driver on camera.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Listen to this, you delivery pizza, bronc. Now, who do
you workd for?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
God?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Is it rock Star Pizza? Look at him? So if
you never had Rockstar pizza, look at this dude. This
dude came on. I don't even know where he came from,
up a hill here. Did you get a good tip?
Two dollars? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Two dollars? That's funny, cod smiddy? Two dollars on a
forty plus dollar bill. And of course the officer just
incredulous about this, going online afterwards to share what he
did for the driver.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I ran back to the car. I'm a little winded.
It's a lot to give that.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Man a cast that I had, because that's the right
thing to do.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
What this boy just or this young man just did.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
They're never required to do that.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I know a large amount of them are the vast
majority that wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
So get this Vitty. That's where the internet took over.
Officer Craig shared the story on social media. His followers
quickly rallied and gave the driver five hundred dollars and
then things blew up and they raise ninety five hundred
more dollars, almost ten grand in total, to tip this
pizza delivery driver who happens to take care of his
(07:08):
elderly grandmother as well. So just here, that does good
thing coming back around?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
All right, we've heard the Jared goff chance, right, but
have we ever heard one being wheeled out of surgery? Now,
Trevor Shapiro has just done it. This video has gone
everywhere following treatment on a broken wrist and a little
laughing gas, Trevor was ready.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Jared go Jey, Jared, Trevor Jered go.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Go bullying.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Oh it's so good.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
The comments section blowing out there, even tagging the team
now saying this kid deserves Super Bowl tickets because we're
going all the way. The video on our Insta stories
at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I mean, that is too good right there. I absolutely
loved that. Fairly good coming at you a couple times
a day, always here to lift your spirits and we'll
do it again for you coming up nine twenty this
morning on Star one o five point seven.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Well, it's a major loss felt in Hollywood. Legendary actor
and director David Lynch has passed away so many huge credits.
Of course, he hit it big with movies like The
Elephant Man, Dune, and Blue Velvet, before trying his hand
at TV, bringing us the classic TV show Twin Peaks,
(08:37):
which of course then spawned a reboot. Nominated for his
third and final Academy Award in two thousand and two
for Mulholland Drive, his daughter confirming the news David passed
away at his daughter's home on Wednesday. He'd been staying
there during the devastating wildfires in LA. No official cause
of death has been listed yet, but Lynch did revealed
(09:00):
last year he was diagnosed with emphysema after years of smoking,
said his directing days were likely done, and then back
in November, he admitted he couldn't even walk out of
the house without oxygen, saying unfortunately, smoking had just become
such an integral part of his life since he started
when he was eight. But yeah, no, this is just
(09:22):
really unfortunate news. Most recently, he was actually on screen
as part of Steven Spielberg's semi autobiographical movie The Fablemans.
If you saw that, he played director john Ford. David
was only seventy.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Eight, and yet in that you know, seventy eight years
managed to string together six decades of being involved in
movies and television shows and everything else.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Just a legendary career.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
We've been talking a lot about the Fire Aid Concert,
the big benefit concert for those affected by the wildfires
in Los Angeles. Yesterday, an announcement made of some of
the big names that will be performing. Wow, Lady Gaga,
Billie Eilisch, The Red Hot, Chili Peppers, Earth Wind and Fire,
Gwen Stefani, Jelly Roll, Katie Perry, Ping, Rod Stewart, Sting,
(10:11):
and I'm only at the tip of the iceberg on
this thing. It is a packed lineup. Remember, so many artists,
most of them born and bred in LA wanted to
be a part of this benefit concert that organizers actually
had to split it into two separate arenas. It will
be at the Kia Forum, as well as the Intuit Dome.
There are more names expected. They're going to be raising
(10:34):
millions for disaster relief. A lot of them have already
taken to their own personal social media pages to do this.
But I'm really excited about the genre and like the
a massive amount of years covered here. I mean, you've
got Rod Stewart and you've got Gracie Abras. It's just
going to be really really cool. This goes down at
(10:54):
the end of the month on January thirtieth.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
There's some really smart people who are working to, you know,
use this to raise as much as they can. But
how cool would it be if you offered up some
of the seats in those arenas to those first responders
those fires.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I mean, you know that's going to happen. I'm sure
they've got some really wonderful plans for that. And finally,
actress Jessica Alba breaking her silence for the first time
after that bombshell news about the divorce her and husband
Cash Warren have just announced after two decades together. Jessica
posted to her Instagram yesterday saying I have been on
(11:29):
a journey of self realization and transformation for years, both
as an individual and in partnership with Cash. I am
proud of how we've grown in our marriage over the
last twenty years, and it's now time for us to
embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.
We will forever respect each other and remain family. Our
(11:51):
children do remain our highest priority, as of course they
requested privacy at this time. Remember they have sixteen year
old Honor, twelve year old Heaven, and seven year old Hayes.
Seems like a nice statement. You hope that things are
fairly amicable for this because they have had a lot
of time together and you have assume a lot of
assets together.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Too bad.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Start out, Good morning to you, and we are all
just living, breathing, and waiting for tomorrow night, eight o'clock,
your Detroit Lions taking on the Washington Commanders. And it's
a place in the playoffs. We've never hung out before.
We just we don't even know what this is like.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
You have a specific setup, that's what we're going to
talk about here. We're headed to Detroit as soon as
the kids are out of school today for my nephew's
first birthday. So my sister in law was talking to
me the other day. She's like, hey, listen, man, when
I planned this, you know, four months ago, I really
had no idea there'd be because I mean, we're going
to be right downtown, like we're going to be in
(12:49):
the thick of it.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Oh my.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
But we're not obviously going to watch the game. We're
going to go celebrate Winter onder Land. And it's just
so perfect because I can see Chris trying to figure
out how he's gonna make this work. So my husband
is a massive Lines fan. He gets to go to
games every season, really excited about this year. And I go, okay,
so what is our agenda on Saturday? Because the party
(13:13):
will probably I think ends at like four or five.
And he goes, I mean we could probably make it
back to Grand Rapids and I was like, I don't know.
I think, like we're planning to stay hang out, we've
got a place to go, and goes, I can't watch
this game with anyone else. So if you want to
go ahead and call your brother and make sure that
like maybe he has an office or a guest bedroom.
(13:35):
I'm gonna need about this size of a television and
I'm gonna need to be completely on my own. I'm
gonna be really loud, so they're not gonna want to
put me anywhere near where their child is sleeping. I'm
gonna need some snacks. I don't want anything healthy. I
and need some deep fried things. I'm gonna need a
couple Mountain dews because it's an eight pm game, so
it's gonna go late. And I just I'm so curious
(13:55):
about what your football setup looks like like. For my dad,
being a Bears fan, he has a TV on every
floor of our home. I've talked about this before, and
he's wickedly superstitious, so as soon as they start doing badly,
he switches floors. He'll start in the living room, and
then if it's starting to look poor, he goes up
to his bedroom. If that's not working, he's down to
(14:16):
the basement, and then from the basement he might go
back up to his bedroom and then eventually and on
the main floor. It's so funny, but for so many people,
they're like, this is what works, and I'm kind of
part of the team because my superstition and setup is
going to lead to.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
A w You know, it's really tough because I feel like,
you know your husband having this. By the way, it's
a wonderful Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
It's wonderlands, wonder wonderlands.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
That's a great theme. Congratulations, we can wear blue too.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It's all wintry.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I get where your husband's coming from. When you feel
like this game really matters to you in your core,
whether you're an adult and you know like it doesn't
really matter at all, that's not the point. It's entertainment, right,
this is what you live for. So for me, I
have to be able to pace. I'm not go owing
to different floors. I'm staying right in front of my TV,
the screen that I want to be in front of
for a game. If I got to be someplace else,
(15:07):
it's fine, But I don't plan on sitting down. And
if that makes you nervous or it gives you anxiety
that there's a guy who's pacing bad.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Blocks or you are alone, that would. But if you're
paying back and forth in front of the TV.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It's on in front of the tea, I could do
it from behind. I could be in a different room.
I just have to walk. It's the nervous energy.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
They don't really have that kind of setup at their house,
so this would not work for you, Chris, Chris is
in past. Chris will stand so he'll he'll just like
rock solid, like he's Dan Campbell and he's figuring out,
are we going for it on the fourth down? That's Chris,
do it, dude. And I'm just like, this is so funny.
And so I posted a picture I've got Ford Field
(15:47):
up on our Facebook, little hype for your Friday. And
I'm wondering, can you watch the game with people or
are you someone that has to be completely alone?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I love watching the game with people, schmidde. I do
have to ask you, though, if you were having a
party and there's kids around and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Oh, Chris said that was a no go.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It can't be loud.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Like, if I can't hear the game and the announcers
because everybody else is having a great time at the party,
I'm out of there.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
He said that he's already looking ahead. He's like, just
if if? I mean, who could know? If the super
Bowl is the thing. He's like, Babe, we are not
having people over. I can't. You can go somewhere. I'm
happy to go and see people for a bit. Beforehand.
But I've got to be focused up and hearing it.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Does it apply to everyone or does it only apply
to like specific people, For example, his really good friend Malcolm. Yeah,
could Malcolm watch the game with him?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yes, they watched in the same way.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
They watch in the same way. Brothers in silent brothers.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yes, yeah, yeah, that's so funny because they stand the
exact same way in their living room as they do
at Bardfield.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
My little brother or my older brother and I same thing.
We can't we can't not stand while we're watching the game.
I am picturing your husband very much Dan Campbell esque though.
And you know what, Frankly, we can use all the
Dan Campbell energy we can get.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
You can tell when it's getting rough because he's stress SIPs.
I'll here is mounta Joey. He's like, okay, Dan, we
can do this. You need to calm down. Baby, haven't
played football since high school.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I don't think I've ever heard that before. Yeah, stress
sip sipping before that might happen. Not a lot of whiskeys.
I feel like Saturday Night Mack and Schmidty in the
morning on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Till take time, Spill It too, sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah, let's do it. Let's spill it, sweetheart. It is Friday,
which means your drama, your gossip. It is tea time
here on staveto five point seven and uh. From a
guy's perspective, I have a feeling on this one, Schmitty,
and I wonder what yours is on it, though, because
we were messaged by a brother concerned about his older brother. Hey, guys,
my brother and I live together. He's the cheapest person
(17:51):
I know. He's been dating quote unquote Brook for six months,
his most serious relationship since graduating college. My family's planning
a trippy cabo in. My entire family and some close
friends are going too. My parents are footing the bill
for the resort, but my brother would need to buy
the plane ticket for Brook. Apparently, he told her she
should meet us there as his way of inviting her
(18:15):
without having to pay for her to come. He makes
good money. Meanwhile, she's a broke grad student. I know
he really likes her, but not as much as he
likes money. I guess he's about to be tan but single.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yeah, six months in. Brook knows he's cheap. Brook knows
he's sat the saint shocking to Brook. He probably pays
for the dinners. Brook probably pays for the groceries. I'm
so sorry, Brooke, but like, if you're done with that, awesome. Otherwise, Honey,
there are better efficiency See.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I did not get the vibe from that. I got
it more like this is a he's a cheap dude. Okay,
I get it. We all know she people or whatever,
but that doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't go dutch
with her on everything that they do. Like people who
are only dating for a couple of months stew all
the time. Now we're into like that six month territory.
I feel like this is probably I would guess, their
first like big family kind of trash.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
She knows she's gonna pay for absolutely everything she wants
to do. It's been six months, Broke knows. Oh, I
picked a bad one, A little brutal here six one
six one five seven. Tell me if you invite somebody,
although I think it's kind of questionable how he invited her.
If you invite somebody on a vacation, are you expected
to pay? Let's see here, Sarah from Hudsonville, what do
(19:25):
you think, Sarah?
Speaker 5 (19:26):
You're inviting me on a vacation. You're my boyfriend. I'm
gonna assume you're inviting me. You're you're like offering to pay,
like I don't mind paying, but I'm assimming that you're
offering to pay if you're you know, like, hey, I
want to take you away. You know, you're inviting me
on a vacation. You're my boyfriend. I'm gonna assume you're
inviting me. You're you're like offering to pay, like I
don't mind paying, but I'm assuming that you're offering to
(19:47):
pay if you're you know, like, hey, I want to
take you away.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
You know, it does kind of take away the romance
a little bit when you're like, yeah, I would really
love it if you would come and meet me.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I like being with you because you pay for everything.
That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Let's see here, we got Sarah from Rockford. What do
you think Sarah?
Speaker 6 (20:04):
If she's a smart, strong woman like I think she
probably is, she's gonna be like, don't worry, babe, and
then she's just gonna like finess and make things happen financially,
figure out a way to budget and make it all happen.
That's a woman, do uh?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I like the word finesse that was used in there too, because.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I honestly I don't know a single woman that I've
ever been attracted to that wouldn't be able to finesse
me into doing justice.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Bring your friends, there you go. You pay a for
a girl, Bring the girls and make it a whole,
big fun cabo.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Time you can weigh into tea.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Time's up for you right now on Facebook at West Michigan, Star.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Movies, Music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
It's the Celebrity Scoop on Star one oh five point
seven and.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Here we go. Justin Beldoni has now officially launched a
lawsuit against co Star and it ends with us. Blake Lively,
him and his production company filing a massive law suit
against Blake, her hubby Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist Leslie Sloane,
seeking hundreds of millions of dollars. Justin and his company
(21:09):
Wayfairer Studios filled the federal suit, ripping Blake and Leslie
for an alleged campaign to smear Baldoni and snatch away
control of the movie, which of course, he also directed.
He says that Blake was determined to make him the
real life villain in her story to deflect from getting
publicly trashed as tone deaf during the film's media tour.
(21:31):
You'll remember some fans did bring up the fact that
Blake seemed to be promoting her hair care and alcohol
line instead of talking about the deep issue of domestic violence,
which the entire movie is centered around. In the suit,
Justin says the war between the two actually started in
May of twenty twenty three, while still shooting the movie.
He says she was organizing a takeover strategy that really
(21:55):
he calls out Blake's husband Ryan for getting involved in
the writing of the script, and then brings Taylor Swift
into it. Now he's not suing Taylor, but talks about
text messages where it almost seems as though Blake threatened
the power of Taylor. So check this out. One of
the text messages in this suit from Blake reads, if
(22:17):
you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you'll
appreciate that I'm Kalisi, and like her, I happen to
have a few dragons, for better or worse, but usually
for better because my dragons also protect those I fight for,
so really, we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine.
Kissy face, you will too, I can promise you. The
(22:37):
docs include emails between the two actors. They talk about
battles with the wardrobe, that she took over so many
parts of this movie, and that she fought with lots
of people on set as well. He even discusses the wildfires.
He says that Justin or that Blake and her PR
team specifically waited till the very day the fight exploded
(23:01):
on Pacific Palisades to then serve him with doc saying
this is kind of this kind of woman chance she
put process servers in the midst of danger just to
serve her purpose.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
It is nasty that quote that involves Taylor Swift, because
I know that'll get a lot of clickbait, a lot
of headlines there.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Pretty vague could have been about anybody.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You could apply that to Taylor or the very powerful
people that, of course Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds know
in Hollywood. I mean that list I'm sure is endless.
Those guys are pretty plugged in.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
So Blake Lively's legal team has already responded saying this
is a page out of the abuser handbook. They have
said this is an age old story. A woman speaks
up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and
the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim.
This is what experts call darvo, deny attack, reverse victim offender. Now,
(23:56):
speaking of Taylor Swift, she has been speaking out about
the LA fires and put in her money where her
mouth is. Yesterday, the pop star taking to social media
for the first time to discuss it, writing, the fires
in California have devastated so many families, it's been heartbreaking
to see the stories unfold, so much suffering, loss and destruction. Well,
(24:16):
of course, that means she's ready to put some big
money out there. While no official number has been given
yet per USEE with Taylor, she has given to big
organizations including two to eleven LA California Community Foundation, Fund
Direct Relief, and the Greater LA Education Fund, amongst others.
We've already seen some social posts from those companies saying
(24:39):
this is so hugely helpful, and she's inviting fans, all
two hundred and eighty two million of her followers to
step up and do the same.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
On this I mean Taylor Swift and being generous and
empathetic can understand what's going on out there.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Seem to go hand in hand. Right.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Finally, we're all ready for tomorrow night write Detroit Lions
in playoff action, welcoming the Washington Command to Ford Field,
and there's already rumor about how celeb packed this will be.
No doubt Eminem will be in his VIP suite, will
most likely see Barry Sanders. There's talk that Jeff Daniels
will be there, possibly Bob Seeger Keegan, Michael Key I
(25:14):
said he is following this to the ends of the earth,
and I thought this could be a really fun one.
Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. He's been to
a few games this year as well. Some really fun
stuff planned, including a really cool performance of THEO and
the Gridiron Band for the halftime show. So all those
details for you with your scoop at West Michigan Star
dot Com.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Fine Point seven Let's throw down Battle of the sexist
time looking to get you to the PBR Penalty Whiskey
Velocity Tours Mintie.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
All right, let's do this. One hundred women surveyed, think
about those guys in your life. Besides a jersey, what
does a hardcore football fan where the stadium on game day?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Ooh, I don't know, but that guy from Detroit who
wore the cheese Greater helmet in Green Bay at Lambeau.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
True hero, I don't all wear capes, all right? Six
one six, four five eight one oh five seven Caller seven,
give us the number one answer. One hundred women surveyed
besides a jersey, what does a hardcore football fand wear
to the stadium on game day? And we'll send you
to the rodeo at Vanandle with Star one oh five
point seven.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Come on and Star, who's this where you came from today?
Are you ready to root down the Lions this weekend?
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Well, let's hope you're ready to root on the bull
Riders unless you're rooting for the Bulls. You know, sometimes
I feel like I have to do that at the PBR.
But let's get you in first. You got to tell me.
One hundred women were asked to name something besides a
jersey that a hardcore football fans wearing to the stadium
on game day?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Wear the hats? Yeah, now, a hat, I get you.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Maybe even a clever head. I did mention the cheese
greater hat that that guy warred a lambeau. But that's
the number three most common answer. I'm sorry, thanks, Hi Star.
Who's this morth Melissa? I just got a great guest.
One hundred women were asked to name something a hardcore
football fan. Where's to the stadium on game day? Besides
a jersey? And I just heard Teresa tell me a
(27:12):
hat too? And hat was the number three most common answer,
but not the top one. We're talking hardcore football fans here,
So what do you think it is? Is it face paints?
I mean, you know, the Lion's playing a dome, so
that makes it a little different. But whenever I see people
out there in like you know, Buffalo, it's freezing cold,
snow's coming down, and they're still shirtless, jumping beers hanging
(27:36):
out in the stadium, that's the definition of a hardcore fan.
I feel like right there. And that's the top answer. Yeah,
basin body paint number one answer, followed by the foam
finger number two, the U, and then the hats, rounding
out the top three answers. There, well done. You're going
to the PBR rodeo? Oh?
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah, it's gonna be a great time coming up the
next Friday and Saturday at Van Anddalerena, and we'll have
more chances for to win and be listening eight to
fifteen Battle of the Sections each weekday.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I'm start.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
All right, well, welcome into and of course we're all
getting ready for the very first time that the Lions
have been the number one seed in the NFC, getting
that bye week to welcome to the Washington Commanders, hopefully knocking
on all the wood, doing all the good luck things
if we can go on from there. But that being said,
I think that more people I know are treating this
(28:28):
game bigger than any super Bowl they have experienced in
their entire lives, just based on this one game. And
so my question is if the Lions, if the Lions
are fortunate enough to prevail in this game, is this
really like a super Bowl party followed by a super
Bowl party followed by perhaps the.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Biggest of all Super Bowl parties that ever existed?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Schmidty for Lions fans, Maybe right, I mean, because we've
never even sniffed it.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
That's the part. We're the only.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Team in the league that I can think of that
has not only never been to the Super Bowl, we've
never even gotten to buy in the first round. This
is the first time we've ever had a home game
in the divisional rounds.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Well, I think it's I think it's more difficult for
you guys too, with all the talks of the amount
of staff you're gonna lose this year.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
All right, why are we taking us to that?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Because that's why everyone was like, we have to do
it now. And I've been there. I am a Cubs fan.
I remember what this feels like. I remember a World
Series after more than one hundred years without one, so
I know this is a really big fun deal.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Okay, so all right, fine, you want to go to Chicago,
Let's go to Chicago. I got a question for you.
The Lions fan base, in my opinion, the most tortured
football fan base of all time. The Cubs had that
incredible streak over one hundred years of not winning a
World Series, correct finally won one, and it became I believe,
the seventh largest gathering of human beings in history. Afterwards, humanity, Well,
(29:54):
the Lions be bigger than that.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
If the Lions were to pull this off, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Does it matter that it's in February and in Michigan,
because I think that might be the big rule.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
You're able to.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Pull a giant ford Field Dome over the entire city. Maybe,
but I gotta tell you it's going to be five
on Monday.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Some time.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Get a.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Well, let's pack some positivity as we gear up for
a great weekend here in West Michigan.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Mac and Schmidt was feeling good right now.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
And you know we're all gearing up with that big
game tomorrow night as the Detroit Lions welcome the Washington
Commanders to Ford Field in that huge playoff game. And
by now you have heard what I think is one
of the most famous chants in all of sports. But
(30:50):
how did that chance start? Well? For one Detroit family,
they think it was them. Jared Kilpatrick wanted to do
something real special for his family, so he surprised them
with tickets to last year's playoff game at Ford Field
when the Lions took on the La Rams. But Jared
Telsafrey Press he had no idea just how memorable it
(31:10):
would become. So check this out. With an electric atmosphere
of more than sixty six thousand fans, they were at
the very tippy top of Ford Field, wrote twenty one,
seats six through eleven, Section three twenty two, Tyler and
his brother Colin saw Goff's image appear on the giant
(31:32):
video board at Ford Field, and according to Tyler, he
started chanting Jared Goff, Jared Goff. He said it spread
down through the sections until all of a sudden it
hit the field and the entire stadium was chanting the
quarterback's name. And since that twelve months has past, it
(31:53):
has become historical for the amount of places that Jared
Goff chants start, the amount of people that are involved.
It's just Lions love and Jared again saying we can't
really prove that it was us, but every family has
a little family lore, and I love that the Jared
Goff chant gets to be ours.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I love you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I'm sure there are a lot of Detroit fans who
are making that claim, but he's got a little evidence
to back his up.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
And when it comes to Lyons lore, schmiddy. That's what
we're going to continue on with here because Jeff Daniels,
of course Michigan native and just massive Lions fan.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
You've seen him at games.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
You'll probably see him tomorrow night at the game as well,
but he was on the Jimmy Fallon Show, The Tonight's
Show on Tuesday, supporting his Detroit Lions, trying to get
that national audience psyched up to see them and explaining
to them how tortured of a fan base we are,
and sharing the lore of the Curse of Bobby Lane.
Now this is Jeff explaining it to Jimmy, if you're
(32:51):
not aware.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
Nineteen fifty seven was the last time the Lions won
a championship. Bobby Lane was the quarterback. The next season,
they train him to the Pittsburgh Steelers because they just
didn't want to deal with him. He was a drinker
and partier, and on his way out of the Lions
locker room that very next season, he turned around and said,
this franchise won't win for fifty years, and he underestimated
(33:15):
the time it would take.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
That's right, painfully, as all Lions fans know, it's been
more than fifty years since those words were historically uttered,
and the Lions have been the laughing stock of the
NFL basically up until these last few years. And Daniels
also went on to talk about twenty twenty two when
he joined Peyton Manning for a skit during Peyton Manning's
show Peyton's Places, where they tried to break the curse
(33:43):
of Bobby Lane. It involved some whiskey, Bobby Lane's helmet
and a little incantation that they did over this on
the field. Well since then, in twenty two, you might
remember they started off losing a whole bunch of games,
then rattled off six wins to end the season. Then
last season the Lions went nuts and almost made it
all the way to the super Bowl. And this year
the sky is the limit. And Jeff was so compelled
(34:06):
and thinks that he might possibly have been the reason
why the curse has been broken. That incantation, those little
things that they did on the field led him to
even write a song about it. Here is the part
of the Curse of Bobby Lane. On my phone.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Was Peyton Manning.
Speaker 8 (34:25):
He said, Jeff, I feel your pain.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Will you join me.
Speaker 7 (34:33):
In exorcise and Curse of Bobby Lane? Jude Black?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
That we started with Black, that.
Speaker 7 (34:49):
We would play off bound Jude Black, pat way up
in heaven, copy Lane turn around.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
All I'm saying is, if the curse is broken, we
have none others than Oscar nominated.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
It's Jeff Daniels. That's Jeff Daniels. I've seen a lot
of people on Instagram and TikTok trying to do that song.
They don't do it like Jeff.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
No too good.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I'll put the full video up for you at a
West Michigan Star and of course go Lions on Saturday
n I'm feeling Good every weekday, six forty.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Five and nine twenty on Star one on five point

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Happy Friday, you guys.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Happy Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
And I don't know where what it's like your work
if you're headed in right now, but man, it feels
like everyone in my life going into today is already
into the weekend and it's already all about.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
The lion Schmitty.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Nobody's getting any actual work done today.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
All I'm hearing today is like, what are your plans
for all day long tomorrow? Because even though of the
game doesn't start till eight pm, Yeah, there's other playoff
games on, but even that is like secondary to the
idea of well, we just got to get ready.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I mean, I know people leaving today. I know people
that are like, they're going to the the Auto Show
is doing that huge rally tonight over in Detroit. Like,
I know people that have already fully checked out. My
buddy's got his tickets already four rows back from the
field for tomorrow night, and he's like, oh, I'm gonna
barely barely be able to focus today. This is a
(01:06):
big weekend, you guys. It is a big weekend. By
the way, speaking of Lions, if you are having to
do some traveling during that eight pm game tomorrow night,
check out our sister station Big one on one point three.
They're gonna have covered starting at seven. Can you know,
listen in your car or listen where you're gonna be going,
because you don't want to miss a moment of what
that's gonna be. I was out last night doing some
(01:27):
awesome work with Downtown Grand Rapids, Inc. And Broadway gr
and everybody was talking about how big this game is
gonna be. Randy Finch was out hanging with him last night.
He's got the ice sculpture, headed to Rochester this afternoon
to do a big display. It's just a really fun time.
It's a really fun time.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Well, this is a first. President ELEC. Donald Trump is
bestowing a new honor on his most vocal celebrity supporters,
tapping John Boyd, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone as Hollywood's
new special Ambassadors. Announcing these roles on Truth Social yesterday,
he explained they'll serve as special envoys to me for
(02:13):
the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business
over the last four years to foreign countries, back, bigger, better,
and stronger than ever before. These three very talented people
will be my eyes and ears, and I will get
done what they suggest. It will again be like the
United States of America itself, the golden age of Hollywood.
(02:35):
He didn't really elaborate further on what kinds of things
they would be doing, but Mel Gibson, for one, is
still in La figuring out his next moves after being
announce as another celebrity that did lose his home in
that Palisades fire. I've got video of that. At West
Michigan star dot Com, Elon Musk is trying to shrug
off yet another explosion during a test launch for Starship
(03:00):
and this is uh what it launched yesterday and almost
immediately blew off. You can see from videos that were
posted like these people who were in the Turks and
Caicos and actually saw this. Five Yeah, Elon go into
X saying success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Love the idea of this splace of the space exploration
and getting up in there. It just seems like we
have a rocket that blows up like every month.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, Finally, the iconic home Alone mansion has officially sold
who five point five million dollars. This is in Illinois,
of course, first listed back in May of last year,
but it looks like the new owners really want to
keep it that holiday feel of the Oh my gosh,
(03:53):
what was their names in it alone? Keep plunning the
same anyway. I kept saying McCauley, Culkin, Simon, Tricia Johnson
the original owners and got a sneak peek actually gave
people some picks which we haven't seen before. This is unreal.
They've got like an incredible home theater where they have
a life sized lego made of Kevin inside indoor basketball court.
(04:15):
The foyer is perfect, exactly from the movie. Five bedrooms,
six baths, a top tier indoor sports court. This is unbelievable.
The only thing that comes with this as well all
those people stopping on your front lawn and taking all
the pictures and videos.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
That's my question for you.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, does it like the McAllister family, by the way,
is what I can It was burned into my brain too.
Does that make it not worth five million dollars and.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
They've got a big old privacy fence up and the
cops are always going through there at the holidays. So
no five point five million dollar home. I'd go ahead
and handle that if it meant living there. I've got
some great pictures of it. If you love that movie
with your scoop at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling? Yeah, still on
a five point seven g f tu it's mack and
spending with feeling good right now. And of course you
know it's a situation we've faced many times living here
in Michigan, ordering delivery food when the weather's not so
great outside.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
It's been the driver.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I've been the driver, I've been the receiver of it.
I'll just be honest. But at the same time, you
know those folks when they go out in it, you
gotta hook them up right, You gotta do a good
tip for him. But that's not what the experience for
a delivery driver down in Brownsburg, Indiana, who recently went
viral after this guy, this delivery driver literally trekking up
(05:36):
a hill through his snowstorm because he couldn't get his
car up the street. Meanwhile, there were residents standing around,
including school Resource Officer Richard Craig of the Evon School
Police Department, who witnessed the whole thing. Was actually on
Instagram live when this happened to be caught this dedicated
delivery driver on camera.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Listen to this, you delivery pizza, bronc. Now, who do
you workd for?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
God?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Is it rock Star Pizza? Look at him? So if
you never had Rockstar pizza, look at this dude. This
dude came on. I don't even know where he came from,
up a hill here. Did you get a good tip?
Two dollars? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Two dollars? That's funny, cod smiddy? Two dollars on a
forty plus dollar bill. And of course the officer just
incredulous about this, going online afterwards to share what he
did for the driver.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I ran back to the car. I'm a little winded.
It's a lot to give that.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Man a cast that I had, because that's the right
thing to do.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
What this boy just or this young man just did.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
They're never required to do that.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I know a large amount of them are the vast
majority that wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
So get this Vitty. That's where the internet took over.
Officer Craig shared the story on social media. His followers
quickly rallied and gave the driver five hundred dollars and
then things blew up and they raise ninety five hundred
more dollars, almost ten grand in total, to tip this
pizza delivery driver who happens to take care of his
(07:08):
elderly grandmother as well. So just here, that does good
thing coming back around?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
All right, we've heard the Jared goff chance, right, but
have we ever heard one being wheeled out of surgery? Now,
Trevor Shapiro has just done it. This video has gone
everywhere following treatment on a broken wrist and a little
laughing gas, Trevor was ready.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Jared go Jey, Jared, Trevor Jered go.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Go bullying.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Oh it's so good.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
The comments section blowing out there, even tagging the team
now saying this kid deserves Super Bowl tickets because we're
going all the way. The video on our Insta stories
at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I mean, that is too good right there. I absolutely
loved that. Fairly good coming at you a couple times
a day, always here to lift your spirits and we'll
do it again for you coming up nine twenty this
morning on Star one o five point seven.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Well, it's a major loss felt in Hollywood. Legendary actor
and director David Lynch has passed away so many huge credits.
Of course, he hit it big with movies like The
Elephant Man, Dune, and Blue Velvet, before trying his hand
at TV, bringing us the classic TV show Twin Peaks,
(08:37):
which of course then spawned a reboot. Nominated for his
third and final Academy Award in two thousand and two
for Mulholland Drive, his daughter confirming the news David passed
away at his daughter's home on Wednesday. He'd been staying
there during the devastating wildfires in LA. No official cause
of death has been listed yet, but Lynch did revealed
(09:00):
last year he was diagnosed with emphysema after years of smoking,
said his directing days were likely done, and then back
in November, he admitted he couldn't even walk out of
the house without oxygen, saying unfortunately, smoking had just become
such an integral part of his life since he started
when he was eight. But yeah, no, this is just
(09:22):
really unfortunate news. Most recently, he was actually on screen
as part of Steven Spielberg's semi autobiographical movie The Fablemans.
If you saw that, he played director john Ford. David
was only seventy.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Eight, and yet in that you know, seventy eight years
managed to string together six decades of being involved in
movies and television shows and everything else.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Just a legendary career.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
We've been talking a lot about the Fire Aid Concert,
the big benefit concert for those affected by the wildfires
in Los Angeles. Yesterday, an announcement made of some of
the big names that will be performing. Wow, Lady Gaga,
Billie Eilisch, The Red Hot, Chili Peppers, Earth Wind and Fire,
Gwen Stefani, Jelly Roll, Katie Perry, Ping, Rod Stewart, Sting,
(10:11):
and I'm only at the tip of the iceberg on
this thing. It is a packed lineup. Remember, so many artists,
most of them born and bred in LA wanted to
be a part of this benefit concert that organizers actually
had to split it into two separate arenas. It will
be at the Kia Forum, as well as the Intuit Dome.
There are more names expected. They're going to be raising
(10:34):
millions for disaster relief. A lot of them have already
taken to their own personal social media pages to do this.
But I'm really excited about the genre and like the
a massive amount of years covered here. I mean, you've
got Rod Stewart and you've got Gracie Abras. It's just
going to be really really cool. This goes down at
(10:54):
the end of the month on January thirtieth.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
There's some really smart people who are working to, you know,
use this to raise as much as they can. But
how cool would it be if you offered up some
of the seats in those arenas to those first responders
those fires.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I mean, you know that's going to happen. I'm sure
they've got some really wonderful plans for that. And finally,
actress Jessica Alba breaking her silence for the first time
after that bombshell news about the divorce her and husband
Cash Warren have just announced after two decades together. Jessica
posted to her Instagram yesterday saying I have been on
(11:29):
a journey of self realization and transformation for years, both
as an individual and in partnership with Cash. I am
proud of how we've grown in our marriage over the
last twenty years, and it's now time for us to
embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.
We will forever respect each other and remain family. Our
(11:51):
children do remain our highest priority, as of course they
requested privacy at this time. Remember they have sixteen year
old Honor, twelve year old Heaven, and seven year old Hayes.
Seems like a nice statement. You hope that things are
fairly amicable for this because they have had a lot
of time together and you have assume a lot of
assets together.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Too bad.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Start out, Good morning to you, and we are all
just living, breathing, and waiting for tomorrow night, eight o'clock,
your Detroit Lions taking on the Washington Commanders. And it's
a place in the playoffs. We've never hung out before.
We just we don't even know what this is like.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
You have a specific setup, that's what we're going to
talk about here. We're headed to Detroit as soon as
the kids are out of school today for my nephew's
first birthday. So my sister in law was talking to
me the other day. She's like, hey, listen, man, when
I planned this, you know, four months ago, I really
had no idea there'd be because I mean, we're going
to be right downtown, like we're going to be in
(12:49):
the thick of it.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Oh my.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
But we're not obviously going to watch the game. We're
going to go celebrate Winter onder Land. And it's just
so perfect because I can see Chris trying to figure
out how he's gonna make this work. So my husband
is a massive Lines fan. He gets to go to
games every season, really excited about this year. And I go, okay,
so what is our agenda on Saturday? Because the party
(13:13):
will probably I think ends at like four or five.
And he goes, I mean we could probably make it
back to Grand Rapids and I was like, I don't know.
I think, like we're planning to stay hang out, we've
got a place to go, and goes, I can't watch
this game with anyone else. So if you want to
go ahead and call your brother and make sure that
like maybe he has an office or a guest bedroom.
(13:35):
I'm gonna need about this size of a television and
I'm gonna need to be completely on my own. I'm
gonna be really loud, so they're not gonna want to
put me anywhere near where their child is sleeping. I'm
gonna need some snacks. I don't want anything healthy. I
and need some deep fried things. I'm gonna need a
couple Mountain dews because it's an eight pm game, so
it's gonna go late. And I just I'm so curious
(13:55):
about what your football setup looks like like. For my dad,
being a Bears fan, he has a TV on every
floor of our home. I've talked about this before, and
he's wickedly superstitious, so as soon as they start doing badly,
he switches floors. He'll start in the living room, and
then if it's starting to look poor, he goes up
to his bedroom. If that's not working, he's down to
(14:16):
the basement, and then from the basement he might go
back up to his bedroom and then eventually and on
the main floor. It's so funny, but for so many people,
they're like, this is what works, and I'm kind of
part of the team because my superstition and setup is
going to lead to.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
A w You know, it's really tough because I feel like,
you know your husband having this. By the way, it's
a wonderful Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
It's wonderlands, wonder wonderlands.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
That's a great theme. Congratulations, we can wear blue too.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It's all wintry.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I get where your husband's coming from. When you feel
like this game really matters to you in your core,
whether you're an adult and you know like it doesn't
really matter at all, that's not the point. It's entertainment, right,
this is what you live for. So for me, I
have to be able to pace. I'm not go owing
to different floors. I'm staying right in front of my TV,
the screen that I want to be in front of
for a game. If I got to be someplace else,
(15:07):
it's fine, But I don't plan on sitting down. And
if that makes you nervous or it gives you anxiety
that there's a guy who's pacing bad.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Blocks or you are alone, that would. But if you're
paying back and forth in front of the TV.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It's on in front of the tea, I could do
it from behind. I could be in a different room.
I just have to walk. It's the nervous energy.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
They don't really have that kind of setup at their house,
so this would not work for you, Chris, Chris is
in past. Chris will stand so he'll he'll just like
rock solid, like he's Dan Campbell and he's figuring out,
are we going for it on the fourth down? That's Chris,
do it, dude. And I'm just like, this is so funny.
And so I posted a picture I've got Ford Field
(15:47):
up on our Facebook, little hype for your Friday. And
I'm wondering, can you watch the game with people or
are you someone that has to be completely alone?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I love watching the game with people, schmidde. I do
have to ask you, though, if you were having a
party and there's kids around and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Oh, Chris said that was a no go.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It can't be loud.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Like, if I can't hear the game and the announcers
because everybody else is having a great time at the party,
I'm out of there.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
He said that he's already looking ahead. He's like, just
if if? I mean, who could know? If the super
Bowl is the thing. He's like, Babe, we are not
having people over. I can't. You can go somewhere. I'm
happy to go and see people for a bit. Beforehand.
But I've got to be focused up and hearing it.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Does it apply to everyone or does it only apply
to like specific people, For example, his really good friend Malcolm. Yeah,
could Malcolm watch the game with him?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yes, they watched in the same way.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
They watch in the same way. Brothers in silent brothers.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yes, yeah, yeah, that's so funny because they stand the
exact same way in their living room as they do
at Bardfield.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
My little brother or my older brother and I same thing.
We can't we can't not stand while we're watching the game.
I am picturing your husband very much Dan Campbell esque though.
And you know what, Frankly, we can use all the
Dan Campbell energy we can get.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
You can tell when it's getting rough because he's stress SIPs.
I'll here is mounta Joey. He's like, okay, Dan, we
can do this. You need to calm down. Baby, haven't
played football since high school.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I don't think I've ever heard that before. Yeah, stress
sip sipping before that might happen. Not a lot of whiskeys.
I feel like Saturday Night Mack and Schmidty in the
morning on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Till take time, Spill It too, sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah, let's do it. Let's spill it, sweetheart. It is Friday,
which means your drama, your gossip. It is tea time
here on staveto five point seven and uh. From a
guy's perspective, I have a feeling on this one, Schmitty,
and I wonder what yours is on it, though, because
we were messaged by a brother concerned about his older brother. Hey, guys,
my brother and I live together. He's the cheapest person
(17:51):
I know. He's been dating quote unquote Brook for six months,
his most serious relationship since graduating college. My family's planning
a trippy cabo in. My entire family and some close
friends are going too. My parents are footing the bill
for the resort, but my brother would need to buy
the plane ticket for Brook. Apparently, he told her she
should meet us there as his way of inviting her
(18:15):
without having to pay for her to come. He makes
good money. Meanwhile, she's a broke grad student. I know
he really likes her, but not as much as he
likes money. I guess he's about to be tan but single.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yeah, six months in. Brook knows he's cheap. Brook knows
he's sat the saint shocking to Brook. He probably pays
for the dinners. Brook probably pays for the groceries. I'm
so sorry, Brooke, but like, if you're done with that, awesome. Otherwise, Honey,
there are better efficiency See.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I did not get the vibe from that. I got
it more like this is a he's a cheap dude. Okay,
I get it. We all know she people or whatever,
but that doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't go dutch
with her on everything that they do. Like people who
are only dating for a couple of months stew all
the time. Now we're into like that six month territory.
I feel like this is probably I would guess, their
first like big family kind of trash.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
She knows she's gonna pay for absolutely everything she wants
to do. It's been six months, Broke knows. Oh, I
picked a bad one, A little brutal here six one
six one five seven. Tell me if you invite somebody,
although I think it's kind of questionable how he invited her.
If you invite somebody on a vacation, are you expected
to pay? Let's see here, Sarah from Hudsonville, what do
(19:25):
you think, Sarah?
Speaker 5 (19:26):
You're inviting me on a vacation. You're my boyfriend. I'm
gonna assume you're inviting me. You're you're like offering to pay,
like I don't mind paying, but I'm assimming that you're
offering to pay if you're you know, like, hey, I
want to take you away. You know, you're inviting me
on a vacation. You're my boyfriend. I'm gonna assume you're
inviting me. You're you're like offering to pay, like I
don't mind paying, but I'm assuming that you're offering to
(19:47):
pay if you're you know, like, hey, I want to
take you away.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
You know, it does kind of take away the romance
a little bit when you're like, yeah, I would really
love it if you would come and meet me.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I like being with you because you pay for everything.
That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Let's see here, we got Sarah from Rockford. What do
you think Sarah?
Speaker 6 (20:04):
If she's a smart, strong woman like I think she
probably is, she's gonna be like, don't worry, babe, and
then she's just gonna like finess and make things happen financially,
figure out a way to budget and make it all happen.
That's a woman, do uh?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I like the word finesse that was used in there too, because.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I honestly I don't know a single woman that I've
ever been attracted to that wouldn't be able to finesse
me into doing justice.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Bring your friends, there you go. You pay a for
a girl, Bring the girls and make it a whole,
big fun cabo.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Time you can weigh into tea.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Time's up for you right now on Facebook at West Michigan, Star.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Movies, Music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
It's the Celebrity Scoop on Star one oh five point
seven and.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Here we go. Justin Beldoni has now officially launched a
lawsuit against co Star and it ends with us. Blake Lively,
him and his production company filing a massive law suit
against Blake, her hubby Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist Leslie Sloane,
seeking hundreds of millions of dollars. Justin and his company
(21:09):
Wayfairer Studios filled the federal suit, ripping Blake and Leslie
for an alleged campaign to smear Baldoni and snatch away
control of the movie, which of course, he also directed.
He says that Blake was determined to make him the
real life villain in her story to deflect from getting
publicly trashed as tone deaf during the film's media tour.
(21:31):
You'll remember some fans did bring up the fact that
Blake seemed to be promoting her hair care and alcohol
line instead of talking about the deep issue of domestic violence,
which the entire movie is centered around. In the suit,
Justin says the war between the two actually started in
May of twenty twenty three, while still shooting the movie.
He says she was organizing a takeover strategy that really
(21:55):
he calls out Blake's husband Ryan for getting involved in
the writing of the script, and then brings Taylor Swift
into it. Now he's not suing Taylor, but talks about
text messages where it almost seems as though Blake threatened
the power of Taylor. So check this out. One of
the text messages in this suit from Blake reads, if
(22:17):
you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you'll
appreciate that I'm Kalisi, and like her, I happen to
have a few dragons, for better or worse, but usually
for better because my dragons also protect those I fight for,
so really, we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine.
Kissy face, you will too, I can promise you. The
(22:37):
docs include emails between the two actors. They talk about
battles with the wardrobe, that she took over so many
parts of this movie, and that she fought with lots
of people on set as well. He even discusses the wildfires.
He says that Justin or that Blake and her PR
team specifically waited till the very day the fight exploded
(23:01):
on Pacific Palisades to then serve him with doc saying
this is kind of this kind of woman chance she
put process servers in the midst of danger just to
serve her purpose.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
It is nasty that quote that involves Taylor Swift, because
I know that'll get a lot of clickbait, a lot
of headlines there.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Pretty vague could have been about anybody.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You could apply that to Taylor or the very powerful
people that, of course Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds know
in Hollywood. I mean that list I'm sure is endless.
Those guys are pretty plugged in.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
So Blake Lively's legal team has already responded saying this
is a page out of the abuser handbook. They have
said this is an age old story. A woman speaks
up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and
the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim.
This is what experts call darvo, deny attack, reverse victim offender. Now,
(23:56):
speaking of Taylor Swift, she has been speaking out about
the LA fires and put in her money where her
mouth is. Yesterday, the pop star taking to social media
for the first time to discuss it, writing, the fires
in California have devastated so many families, it's been heartbreaking
to see the stories unfold, so much suffering, loss and destruction. Well,
(24:16):
of course, that means she's ready to put some big
money out there. While no official number has been given
yet per USEE with Taylor, she has given to big
organizations including two to eleven LA California Community Foundation, Fund
Direct Relief, and the Greater LA Education Fund, amongst others.
We've already seen some social posts from those companies saying
(24:39):
this is so hugely helpful, and she's inviting fans, all
two hundred and eighty two million of her followers to
step up and do the same.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
On this I mean Taylor Swift and being generous and
empathetic can understand what's going on out there.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Seem to go hand in hand. Right.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Finally, we're all ready for tomorrow night write Detroit Lions
in playoff action, welcoming the Washington Command to Ford Field,
and there's already rumor about how celeb packed this will be.
No doubt Eminem will be in his VIP suite, will
most likely see Barry Sanders. There's talk that Jeff Daniels
will be there, possibly Bob Seeger Keegan, Michael Key I
(25:14):
said he is following this to the ends of the earth,
and I thought this could be a really fun one.
Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. He's been to
a few games this year as well. Some really fun
stuff planned, including a really cool performance of THEO and
the Gridiron Band for the halftime show. So all those
details for you with your scoop at West Michigan Star
dot Com.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Fine Point seven Let's throw down Battle of the sexist
time looking to get you to the PBR Penalty Whiskey
Velocity Tours Mintie.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
All right, let's do this. One hundred women surveyed, think
about those guys in your life. Besides a jersey, what
does a hardcore football fan where the stadium on game day?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Ooh, I don't know, but that guy from Detroit who
wore the cheese Greater helmet in Green Bay at Lambeau.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
True hero, I don't all wear capes, all right? Six
one six, four five eight one oh five seven Caller seven,
give us the number one answer. One hundred women surveyed
besides a jersey, what does a hardcore football fand wear
to the stadium on game day? And we'll send you
to the rodeo at Vanandle with Star one oh five
point seven.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Come on and Star, who's this where you came from today?
Are you ready to root down the Lions this weekend?
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Well, let's hope you're ready to root on the bull
Riders unless you're rooting for the Bulls. You know, sometimes
I feel like I have to do that at the PBR.
But let's get you in first. You got to tell me.
One hundred women were asked to name something besides a
jersey that a hardcore football fans wearing to the stadium
on game day?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Wear the hats? Yeah, now, a hat, I get you.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Maybe even a clever head. I did mention the cheese
greater hat that that guy warred a lambeau. But that's
the number three most common answer. I'm sorry, thanks, Hi Star.
Who's this morth Melissa? I just got a great guest.
One hundred women were asked to name something a hardcore
football fan. Where's to the stadium on game day? Besides
a jersey? And I just heard Teresa tell me a
(27:12):
hat too? And hat was the number three most common answer,
but not the top one. We're talking hardcore football fans here,
So what do you think it is? Is it face paints?
I mean, you know, the Lion's playing a dome, so
that makes it a little different. But whenever I see people
out there in like you know, Buffalo, it's freezing cold,
snow's coming down, and they're still shirtless, jumping beers hanging
(27:36):
out in the stadium, that's the definition of a hardcore fan.
I feel like right there. And that's the top answer. Yeah,
basin body paint number one answer, followed by the foam
finger number two, the U, and then the hats, rounding
out the top three answers. There, well done. You're going
to the PBR rodeo? Oh?
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah, it's gonna be a great time coming up the
next Friday and Saturday at Van Anddalerena, and we'll have
more chances for to win and be listening eight to
fifteen Battle of the Sections each weekday.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I'm start.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
All right, well, welcome into and of course we're all
getting ready for the very first time that the Lions
have been the number one seed in the NFC, getting
that bye week to welcome to the Washington Commanders, hopefully knocking
on all the wood, doing all the good luck things
if we can go on from there. But that being said,
I think that more people I know are treating this
(28:28):
game bigger than any super Bowl they have experienced in
their entire lives, just based on this one game. And
so my question is if the Lions, if the Lions
are fortunate enough to prevail in this game, is this
really like a super Bowl party followed by a super
Bowl party followed by perhaps the.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Biggest of all Super Bowl parties that ever existed?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Schmidty for Lions fans, Maybe right, I mean, because we've
never even sniffed it.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
That's the part. We're the only.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Team in the league that I can think of that
has not only never been to the Super Bowl, we've
never even gotten to buy in the first round. This
is the first time we've ever had a home game
in the divisional rounds.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Well, I think it's I think it's more difficult for
you guys too, with all the talks of the amount
of staff you're gonna lose this year.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
All right, why are we taking us to that?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Because that's why everyone was like, we have to do
it now. And I've been there. I am a Cubs fan.
I remember what this feels like. I remember a World
Series after more than one hundred years without one, so
I know this is a really big fun deal.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Okay, so all right, fine, you want to go to Chicago,
Let's go to Chicago. I got a question for you.
The Lions fan base, in my opinion, the most tortured
football fan base of all time. The Cubs had that
incredible streak over one hundred years of not winning a
World Series, correct finally won one, and it became I believe,
the seventh largest gathering of human beings in history. Afterwards, humanity, Well,
(29:54):
the Lions be bigger than that.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
If the Lions were to pull this off, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Does it matter that it's in February and in Michigan,
because I think that might be the big rule.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
You're able to.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Pull a giant ford Field Dome over the entire city. Maybe,
but I gotta tell you it's going to be five
on Monday.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Some time.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Get a.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Well, let's pack some positivity as we gear up for
a great weekend here in West Michigan.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Mac and Schmidt was feeling good right now.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
And you know we're all gearing up with that big
game tomorrow night as the Detroit Lions welcome the Washington
Commanders to Ford Field in that huge playoff game. And
by now you have heard what I think is one
of the most famous chants in all of sports. But
(30:50):
how did that chance start? Well? For one Detroit family,
they think it was them. Jared Kilpatrick wanted to do
something real special for his family, so he surprised them
with tickets to last year's playoff game at Ford Field
when the Lions took on the La Rams. But Jared
Telsafrey Press he had no idea just how memorable it
(31:10):
would become. So check this out. With an electric atmosphere
of more than sixty six thousand fans, they were at
the very tippy top of Ford Field, wrote twenty one,
seats six through eleven, Section three twenty two, Tyler and
his brother Colin saw Goff's image appear on the giant
(31:32):
video board at Ford Field, and according to Tyler, he
started chanting Jared Goff, Jared Goff. He said it spread
down through the sections until all of a sudden it
hit the field and the entire stadium was chanting the
quarterback's name. And since that twelve months has past, it
(31:53):
has become historical for the amount of places that Jared
Goff chants start, the amount of people that are involved.
It's just Lions love and Jared again saying we can't
really prove that it was us, but every family has
a little family lore, and I love that the Jared
Goff chant gets to be ours.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I love you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I'm sure there are a lot of Detroit fans who
are making that claim, but he's got a little evidence
to back his up.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
And when it comes to Lyons lore, schmiddy. That's what
we're going to continue on with here because Jeff Daniels,
of course Michigan native and just massive Lions fan.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
You've seen him at games.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
You'll probably see him tomorrow night at the game as well,
but he was on the Jimmy Fallon Show, The Tonight's
Show on Tuesday, supporting his Detroit Lions, trying to get
that national audience psyched up to see them and explaining
to them how tortured of a fan base we are,
and sharing the lore of the Curse of Bobby Lane.
Now this is Jeff explaining it to Jimmy, if you're
(32:51):
not aware.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
Nineteen fifty seven was the last time the Lions won
a championship. Bobby Lane was the quarterback. The next season,
they train him to the Pittsburgh Steelers because they just
didn't want to deal with him. He was a drinker
and partier, and on his way out of the Lions
locker room that very next season, he turned around and said,
this franchise won't win for fifty years, and he underestimated
(33:15):
the time it would take.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
That's right, painfully, as all Lions fans know, it's been
more than fifty years since those words were historically uttered,
and the Lions have been the laughing stock of the
NFL basically up until these last few years. And Daniels
also went on to talk about twenty twenty two when
he joined Peyton Manning for a skit during Peyton Manning's
show Peyton's Places, where they tried to break the curse
(33:43):
of Bobby Lane. It involved some whiskey, Bobby Lane's helmet
and a little incantation that they did over this on
the field. Well since then, in twenty two, you might
remember they started off losing a whole bunch of games,
then rattled off six wins to end the season. Then
last season the Lions went nuts and almost made it
all the way to the super Bowl. And this year
the sky is the limit. And Jeff was so compelled
(34:06):
and thinks that he might possibly have been the reason
why the curse has been broken. That incantation, those little
things that they did on the field led him to
even write a song about it. Here is the part
of the Curse of Bobby Lane. On my phone.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Was Peyton Manning.
Speaker 8 (34:25):
He said, Jeff, I feel your pain.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Will you join me.
Speaker 7 (34:33):
In exorcise and Curse of Bobby Lane? Jude Black?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
That we started with Black, that.
Speaker 7 (34:49):
We would play off bound Jude Black, pat way up
in heaven, copy Lane turn around.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
All I'm saying is, if the curse is broken, we
have none others than Oscar nominated.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
It's Jeff Daniels. That's Jeff Daniels. I've seen a lot
of people on Instagram and TikTok trying to do that song.
They don't do it like Jeff.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
No too good.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I'll put the full video up for you at a
West Michigan Star and of course go Lions on Saturday
n I'm feeling Good every weekday, six forty.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Five and nine twenty on Star one on five point
seven
Speaker 2 (35:26):
