Star one oh five point seven. Wa it gets my
day going and makes me laugh. I love it. Mac
and Schmidty in the morning on Star one oh five
point seven in Schmitty, good morning, Welcome into these Tuesday.
And you know, we got to a little bit of
snow yesterday and a lot of areas around West Michigan.
(00:23):
And I think that now after last week where the
kids had three consecutive snow days, now they're just conditioned.
As soon as they saw that snow coming down last night,
they're like, hey, would TV Blake Harms, what's he says? Guys,
you're going to school.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I gotta be honest, though, to see the blowing that
it was doing last night made it look a little
more treacherous than you think, and in fact, some of
you are not. There are a few delays in a
couple of closures, mostly Alligant and Ionia County if you
want to check the list at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
But you know, I will say, I'm like, hey, every
dust does not mean you'll get to stay home from school.
That was a very unique circumstance that hopefully we won't
have to repeat too many more times this year. But
all the same today look a pretty good. Not gonna
be as windy as it was yesterday. Thankfully we had
those strong, strong gusts today though, attempts going to hit
the mid to upper thirties round most of West Michigan.
(01:17):
So not looking to shabby.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Today's mini movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Well, the past week has been just fraught with drama
for the Cyrus family.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
We've been kind of updating.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
On this after Billy Ray Sun Trace called him out
publicly on social media, saying you have serious issues.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
We are all terrified we're going to lose you.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Billy Ray is now speaking out Ish for the first
time on this, calling for peace amid the family feud.
He posted a YouTube short yesterday with his song Somebody
said a prayer good. So it's interesting He posted this
(02:10):
YouTube Shore and then in the caption wrote praying for
my family, for my children, sons and daughters and their mother.
Let this moment be the start of healing for us.
All no response back from any of the family members,
including Trace, who kind of started this whole thing, And
as I mentioned yesterday, Miley's really been trying to keep
out of this entirely.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Is it bad when the olive brands that you extend
to your family is also promoting your brand new.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Song, old song.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Somebody's said a prayer, It seems a little less than pray.
One this Alec Baldwin and his wife Laria opening up
about the toll the actor's rust trial took on the
entire family, discussing the tragedy in a first look for
the new reality series, I had told you about this.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Is coming to TL SEED.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's going to be a big move for the family,
and you can see Lec actually breaking down in tears
over this.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Iyesa lost his mom in the most unthinkable tragedy. This
is never something to forget, and we're trying to parenter it. Honestly,
from the bottom of my soul, I don't know where
I'd be if I didn't have you in this cause.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
The Baldwins promises even more insight into the very tough year.
It's going to premiere February twenty third on TILC, so
just about a month away.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I honestly, I'm a fan of Alec Baldwin, and I
got to tell you I want to see this about
as much as I want to see rust.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, all right, Finally, Amanda Bynes is not engaged. She
sparked serious engagement rumors over the weekend after being spotted
with a massive rock on that ring finger, But according
to sources, the former Nickelodeon star is simply rocking some
new jewelry and is not engaged whatsoever. Even more than that,
(03:53):
she's not dating anyone right now. Ever since her split
from that ex fiance, Paul Michael back in twenty twenty three,
she's been focused on her health and making sure that
single Amanda is taking care of Amanda.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
So nothing happening with Amanda me and she's all good.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling? Let's do it.
It's feeling good on Starleino Fine forty seven, come on
into you, Mac and Schmidty and I saw this story yesterday,
Schmitty and I think this is just so wild to
think about. But a fifty three year old Alabama woman
is the only person on the planet who is currently
walking around with a pig organ. She's the only person
(04:33):
out there right now currently with a one hundred percent
animal organ in her body. Fifty three year old Tijuana
Looney of Alabama is actually thriving two months after this
groundbreaking transplant that is called a this is so weird
a Zeno transplantation. A doctor, actually, doctor Robert Montgomery from NYU,
(04:55):
performed the transplant, saying that her kidney function absolutely normal
and that she'll be likely able to return to home
and pretty much normal life in Alabama in about a
month now. These are a kidney one hundred percent from
a genetically modified pig that they have been experimenting for
decades now trying to build this research in order to
(05:17):
get these organs to not be rejected by their host.
And as of right now, Tawana is the longest living
person to ever have a fully functioning pig organ in
her body for this long. It's wild and could be
a breakthrough for the over one hundred thousand people currently
on the organ transplant list. In only about thirty thousand
of them actually receive organs each year, so it is
(05:39):
a big, big need and a possible huge breakthrough. But
it's absolutely wild. They talked about it quite a bit
on the CBS Evening News I'll put that video up
for you at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
All right, ladies, another big one for US as Olympic
soccer star Naomi Germa has officially become the first woman
in soccer to get paid. We need one million dollars.
She is headed across the pond after signing a record
breaking deal to play four years at the Chelsea women
(06:10):
Football Club in England, Announcing the other day a one
point one million.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Dollar transferred deal.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
She sat down with MBC saying this is way more
than about the money.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
It's something that we talk about a lot now in
the national team, having such a wide rented diversity and
all of us feeling like we're representation for younger players
and knowing how I think we realize how important that
is because when we were younger, we didn't have those
players to look up to. We didn't really see ourselves
in those shoes and as much as other people could.
(06:44):
And I think just when you're on a team and
you feel like you have that you know, shared experience,
and you have other people that look like you, it
can feel more comfortable and more natural. And I just
think everyone should have the opportunity to play if they
want to and that's something that we want to see
keep growing.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Germa has been on the National Women's League the last
two years, and she got her start thanks to her
Ethiopian father. When he came over, he thought starting a
soccer club in their San Diego community would be perfect
to bring the neighborhood together, and it turns out it's
pretty perfect for Naomi making a million bucks to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I love to see it a big time, always at first,
but she will be far from the last. Is soccer,
especially women's soccer, just exploding. It seems like everywhere feeling
good comes out to a couple times today. I always
want to lift your spirits a little bit. We'll do
it again at nine. Swanna hear on Star.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Seven singer Selena Gomez issuing a tearful apology to her
quote unquote paintball after US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency
people have rest in your league one thousand migrants in
just one day following President Trump's return to office, The
pop star taking to her Insta stories yesterday morning, I
(08:02):
just wouldn't say that.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I'm so sorry. Oh maybe people are getting tact the children.
I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I think she could do something that it can't, I mean,
visibly shaken and sobbing over these news reports Trump administration borders.
Aret tom Homan actually having a response last night on
Fox News.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I don't think we arrested any families.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
We've arrested public safety threat in natural security fasts.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Bottom line, Now, this is very interesting.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
When I checked yesterday and this morning, she has taken
this down. So not sure if maybe her team has
said this is just a little too political, if she
took it down herself, but just really hard to see Selena.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
She's having a hard time with us well.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And it was a pretty powerful, pretty powerful image and
a very polarizing issue obviously out there right now, and
so her for perspective, I think, especially for her fans,
very valid.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
An actress turned TV chef who used to be an
extra on Gossip Girl is claiming that Blake Lively was
horrendous to work with and is accusing Blake of throwing
Justin Baldoni under the bus because Blake's used to being adored.
Rosella Rago is host of a very popular YouTube Italian
(09:24):
food series, but she did a lot in Hollywood before them.
She did a TikTok the other day talking about how
Blake would burp and fart in the middle of set
and act like we were lucky to be smelling her farts.
She adds she was very unpleasant to work with. I
just don't know how else to say it. She said,
(09:45):
She's used to being adored and when she is not,
believe gets real, and Baldoni has found out how real
it gets interesting here she also brings up the Ryan
Reynolds part of this, where she says that he's a
big part why Blake feels this.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Way and is just as vicious as she is.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
There's a couple of really damaging stories for her in
the last couple of days.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I mean, I agree it's coming from an extra though,
and I do think the funniest part is basically the
worst thing she said about her is you chew it,
burp and fart in front of all of us, and
act like nobody should care.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Despicable.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I wouldn't be in a studio with somebody passing gas
on purpose. By the way, next scoop, I am in
Justin Baldoni going to show you the voice memo he
has just released, because he says, once again he's got
the receipts on all this. Finally, Eminem may absolutely love
the state of Michigan, but one thing that his music
catalog owners don't love a Ford dealership in Detroit trying
(10:43):
to use this song to make a profit. So eight
Mile Style controls parts of Eminem's music catalog, firing off
a lawsuit yesterday against a Ford dealership in Saint Clair,
It's right outside of Detroit, which owns multiple dealerships over
an online it started running last fall to promote a
limited edition Detroit Lions F one fifty pickup truck. The
(11:07):
ad not only scored with this song, but features a
caption that reads, you only get one shot to own
a special edition Detroit Lions F one fifty. As clever
as that is, eight Mile Style is not having it.
Remember they actually gave permission for Chrysler to use this
song in their twenty eleven Super Bowl ad.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Eight Miles says they got millions and millions.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Of dollars for this, and Ford is not getting a
free ride. They've asked a judge to award monetary damages
as well as pulling the ad immediately or dragging the
dealership to court.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I'd like to know the editor on the video and
what they were thinking of, Like, you know what, let's
just let's just see if anybody notices Detroit. Let's see
if anyone sees this.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Eminem by the way, not on the lawsuit at all.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
This is simply his music catalog owners all of your
celebscoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That's good wanting to you. Let's mack in Schmidti make
sure you're following a lot with my fabulous co host
at Schmidt in the Midt. I actually just watched your
video and honestly, uh, the generations of fathers and parents.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Did to make you feel so good.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I'm just echoing through eternity show, like I.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Don't think it's just Dad's right.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Tell me if I'm wrong here, Ladies, what person are
you in your house? Because the other day I'm walking
around and then last night I did kind of like
the walk through.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Everybody had been.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Going to bed, and I am such a stickler about lights.
I can't stand lights being kept on. I just feel
like our energy bill could be so much less expensive
if everybody just turned lights off. And my little son,
my six year old, was coming upstairs and he looks
at me, he goes, Bob, you're so cool. You're like,
(12:46):
you're like a light cop, a light cop, and honestly
the pure pride I felt in that, I was like,
that's right, buddy, I am a light cop because my husband,
he just feels as though his entire world in that
house needs to be illuminated overhead light is on, lamps
are on, bathroom light in our room not even used
(13:10):
by like the public, lights are on, fans are on.
It just drives me nuts since I walk around and
I just feel like I'm constantly flipping off lights. However,
I don't have that same kind of like situation with
a thermostat. That's always I will be the light cop
and then everything else is fine. But I can't stand
(13:30):
lights being left on if nobody's.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
In the room. My kids are gonna be mad at
me for saying this, I'm sure, but I'm sorry. I'm
the toilet cop in my house right now because if
when I find the unflushed toilets, I don't care. Oh
that makes me so angry, and I will walk. I
will call people. I'll be like, is is this here
for me to flush? Did I did I leave this here?
I don't think I love.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I guess my kids are trained pretty well. I have
never had an unflushed They love flushing.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Thinking about letting mine out of the crates anytime now,
love flush and body.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I'm sure like, Hey, this is fantastic. I do enjoy beca.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I put up my live body cam footage from being
a Light Coup last night on our Facebook page, and
Becca said, oh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
The short order cook, short order cook.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, that's again, just about anybody feel that.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Sorry I forgot to cut off all the crust on
your sandwich again. I didn't realize that.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Oh early parent confession, y'all. I told my son the
other day, I'm done cutting off crust. I said, if
you don't need the crust, your muscles fall out. I
don't know if it's bad parenting to a six and
a half year old, but guess what he did yesterday
during lunch.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
He ate his peanut butter and jelly crust at stool.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
But he's a completely riffed to eighteen year old. He'll
be thanking to his mother's you made me eat all
the crust?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Oh when six one six, four five eight one five seven.
What kind of person are you in the house? The cleaner,
the thermostat protector, or leave us a talk back inside
our iHeartRadio app when you listen to West Michigan start off.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Smitty's so salty, Yes she is.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
And that's why we dropped this weekly vent session to
just let it all out. Who's if you will and
your chance right now Schmitty with salty Schmitty. And honestly,
I'm listening intently because I'm always very worried what someone
thinks when they walk into my home.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Do you have crooked blinds?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Do I have crooked b linds? No? I think they're straight.
You sure well, because because I gotten more and more
so than I have blinds in our house.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I gotta tell you I cannot stand crooked blinds. And
I was pulling in from the show yesterday and my
daughter's room is at the front, and I could see
like one side is lower than the other. And I
think it is the trashiest thing in the entire world.
If you listened earlier, and I was talking about being
a light cop in our house because they'll go around
(15:46):
and turn lights off that aren't being used.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
I am also a blind police office. I cannot.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I will go to every room and make sure. If
you're like cranking up the blinds and they're not even
or they don't match up, it's I'm so sorry. I
think it looks absolutely horrendous and actually takes away from
the curve appeal.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Honestly, though, tell me at some point in your life,
because I don't think I know a single person that
you know when they were in their twenties at least,
or where they were living by themselves, so the first
time didn't have that one blind in the house that
was always just a bitcock ey.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
And it's all the way up. Then it's all the
way up, and I don't care if it's my bathroom.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You might see some things because I can't handle crooked blinds, shalty.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
So stalky, movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Well actor and director Justin Baldoni, following through on his
promise to release all his communications with Blake Lively, dropping
an almost seven minute apology voice memo he sent her
at two am while they were working on the It
Ends with Us script. You can hear he sounds very sorrowful.
(16:56):
This goes back to some rewrites they had written for
the movies rooftop scene to set the mood here.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Hey, Blake, it is two in the morning. Hopefully this
does not wake you up. Wow, there's so much I
want to say to you, and I hope that we
can FaceTime or see each other in person soon and
get to talk more. But I'm just going to send
you a few thoughts and hopefully it's not going to
(17:23):
be more than a few minutes. But I don't have
the best track record. I don't think either one of
us have the best track record for our voice memos.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
It's really interesting. He goes on to say, I'm probably
gonna upset you. I'm really sorry. I screwed up. I'll
admit it. I'll apologize about it. I am a flawed man.
My wife will definitely attest to that. He's apologizing for
his reaction to those script changes Blake had left. He
also brings up the fact that her husband, Ryan Reynolds,
had been a part of this meeting, and then at
(17:55):
the end said again, I'm going to find my way
back to center. I'm really sorry I made you feel
that way. I will for sure do better. And it's
all in the seven minute voice memo.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Gotta tell you, I'm not a big fan of getting
seven minute long voice memos and deep dark voices at.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Three o'clock in the morningside two o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, and I gotta tell you, I bet you. Ryan
Reynolds was a big fan of that movie either.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
But the receipts, he continues to say, He's got the receipts.
Mcaulay culkin and Brenda's Song are discussing their very famously
low key romance in their first ever joint interview.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
This week.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
They did a big photo shoot for Cosmopolitan's History Making
Love issue, where they talked about the key to their
successful romance. The pairs said they are really proud of
the fact that fans did not realize they were together
and had a family, McCauley saying the public suddenly was like, wait,
they're together.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
And they have kids. Good, that means we did our job.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
The couple got engaged three years ago, but say they
don't feel the pressure for a big wedding, Brenda saying
if we eloped.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
My mom would.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Probably have a heart attack that she wasn't going to
be there, but we'll figure something out. Honestly, we're just
fine like this. It's exactly what both of us are
looking for.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Honestly, I've seen Macaulay Culkin in full blown dad mode.

Nancy? One hundred women were asked to name something a
man might tell his girlfriend that he's waiting for before

The top answer was I think the most common answer
is he's waiting for his divorce to be finalized.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Oh nothing spells love like I'm waiting on my last
love to officially be legally destroyed before we get married.
That is not the top answer, though, I'm sorry, Okay,

his girlfriend that he's waiting for before proposing marriage, she
said waiting for that last divorce to be finalized. But
that was not on the list. So what do you
think it is?
Speaker 6 (22:06):
The father's blessing.

I'm really interested to hear your answer on this, Schmidty,
because I think if your husband is a very capable guy.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, he's et stuffed.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
His dad was a carpenter, so he feels very mean.
He feels optimistic, is what I'll say.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
You know what, I'm an optimistic guy too, and that's
how I was feeling. What is the home repair or
remodel that you thought was going to be diy And
it turned into you calling a pro because you just
not handle the job that you thought you could. Because
for me, I was very confident in my abilities to
change out the fan in my shower bathroom. We were
(23:11):
repainting the ceiling. Anyways, I made some really nice stuckout
repair to the ceiling. Job looks pretty good, I will
say I did that one all right. We were repainting
the walls and this fan is I don't know if
it's from the nineties or even earlier than that, but
I was like, it's loud, let's replace it. My wife goes, well,
we're probably gonna have to call somebody to do that. Go,
what are you talking about. It's just a fan. I'm
(23:34):
gonna look on YouTube. But it's just some one last word,
you know, no big deal. You know, it's just the
white and black ones. You plug it in right here, Fine, honey.
I went into home depot, I brought the thing with me.
I took this fan down and I was so confident
that I was just gonna be able to plug the
new one in and we were done. The guy looks
at me and he goes, what's that yep. I go, well,
(23:56):
this is the exhaust fan from my bathroom. And he goes, poof,
I haven't seen one that looks like that in a
long time.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
You're like.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I'm like, well, it's it's new tone. I mean, like,
I don't know what year it's from. But like at
the same time, I'm like, it's got these exhaust things
that are rectangling. He goes, you see all the ones
on the wall. He goes, you see every one of
those is a circle. Yours is a rectangle. Sir. He's like, honestly,
did you try googling that exact part? And I said, yeah,
I did, but they don't make it anymore. And he goes, yeah,
you gotta be honest with you. I've never seen one
(24:24):
like that. He goes, You're gonna have to call somebody,
And immediately it was like somebody punched me in the
stomach and that person was my wife in my head
because I was like, are you are you gonna make
me admit defeat here? Because I'm honestly at the point
with this one, because she really hammerd it. She she
made me feel bad, like, Okay, you got it all right,
let me know, let me know when the guy's coming over.
Because she works at home. She's like, let me know
(24:46):
when he's coming over to pluck it. I'm thinking about
waiting for a day that my wife is out of
the house, just so I can get a profession in
there and then say I did it all.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
I mean, you don't have to admit defeat. You just
won't have a shower fan. So it's it's really one
of the other I think it's a pretty simple did.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You just do anything like this in your house? I mean,
so we reached an entire bathroom. So I think I
think our audience was around when I.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Had our huge issue.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
We had a contractor come in steal a bunch of
our money, so we had to do it ourselves. So
I know that when you look at a ceiling fan
in your bathroom and you go, oh, it's just an
exhaust fan. Then you bring someone in that goes, oh,
this is not to fire code. This is exhausting into
your basement. Everything is wrong with this that there is
nothing I will probably do in my home without calling.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Honestly, as soon as this happened and I started to struggle,
she goes, do you remember the last time when you
installed a ceiling fan in our first house and you
started a fire? And I said that was shoddy electrical
work that I didn't do, not my fault, And she's like, yeah,
at the same time, I'd like to sleep at night.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Maybe you are really de Lulu optimistic.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Some down does I get a good feeling, You get
the day off to a great start. It's feeling good
on startwe on fine point seven. What's happenings? Really?
Speaker 4 (25:58):
So leave it to.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Michigan native and incredible actor Jeff Daniels to have such
an incredibly perfect piece of parenting advice. He sat down
actually a couple months ago with Canada's Sports network TSN,
but the interview is going viral for him telling parents
how those rides home from sporting events should really go.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
Time you spend in the car driving two hours to
the rink for that eight a m. Game and the
time you spend driving back, that's why you do it,
and you talk to them about anything other than hockey.
If they want to talk about the game, okay, But
(26:43):
it was never about you got to get that slapshot working,
because if you want to be at a D one school,
and I know you're only ten, but you've got to
start getting to work. We were never that, and I
think that our time spent with the kids in those
car rides, not talking about hockey paid the way for
(27:03):
the close sits we have as a family in their
twenties and thirties. That was more important than any career
success I might have had.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Isn't that absolutely incredible? The time you spend with your
kids in the car, not talking about the sports, but
talking about those bigger life things, and how excited your
kids get for those even though you might not realize it.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Is his greatest accomplishment.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Jeff Daniels has some of the most brilliant and well
orated speeches of all time.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
He's so insightful and it's just such a great piece
of parenting advice.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I love that guy all right. Spending of course, last week,
we know that those snow storms blanketed the South in
ways like they almost had never had before, and that
includes in Alabama, when a young couple was trying to
get to the hospital in time for the birth of
their son. Shana Bennett's as well was an active labor
and the father, Keion, driving to the hospital, but with
that winter storm dumping as much as eleven inches of snow,
(27:59):
closed some of the roads, even though they were only
about a mile from the hospital. As Shana explained to
the news there, she was not gonna make it.
Speaker 8 (28:12):
I felt the baby head the red light, and so
once we got into the Christma Kree parking lot, I
couldn't stop pushing, and I just saw a home sliding
out and I'm like, come grab, we'll go grab.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
That's right. Kean was able to grab them. They were
actually on the phone with nine one one when it happened.
As I mentioned, only about a mile away, so rescuers
were on the way to Krispy Kream as this is
all unfolding right there in their parking lot, and she
described herself as a superwoman as they were taking her
away in the ambulance. She certainly was. Krispy Kreme noticing
(28:45):
and offering up, okay, get this free donuts for a year,
and they of course offered the very first birthday party
for newly named Dallas to join them on at the
Krispy Kreme. And then Krispy Kreme Corporate found out about
it and said, no, forget that, We'll do every single
birthday party on the house until to get his eighteen
(29:05):
years old. So it's just really cool. And I'm the
birth certificate little baby Dallas doing great, and where it's
his place of birth, they literally have written Krispy Kreck,
How awesome is that? I'm feeling good coping at you
a couple of times today. I always want to just
share those great stories to lighten your day a little
bit or inspire you, just like mister Jeff Daniels did there.
We'll do it again tomorrow six forty five and nine
(29:27):
twenty Here on Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday,
starting at six am on Star one oh five point
seven
Star one oh five point seven. Wa it gets my
day going and makes me laugh. I love it. Mac
and Schmidty in the morning on Star one oh five
point seven in Schmitty, good morning, Welcome into these Tuesday.
And you know, we got to a little bit of
snow yesterday and a lot of areas around West Michigan.
(00:23):
And I think that now after last week where the
kids had three consecutive snow days, now they're just conditioned.
As soon as they saw that snow coming down last night,
they're like, hey, would TV Blake Harms, what's he says? Guys,
you're going to school.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I gotta be honest, though, to see the blowing that
it was doing last night made it look a little
more treacherous than you think, and in fact, some of
you are not. There are a few delays in a
couple of closures, mostly Alligant and Ionia County if you
want to check the list at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
But you know, I will say, I'm like, hey, every
dust does not mean you'll get to stay home from school.
That was a very unique circumstance that hopefully we won't
have to repeat too many more times this year. But
all the same today look a pretty good. Not gonna
be as windy as it was yesterday. Thankfully we had
those strong, strong gusts today though, attempts going to hit
the mid to upper thirties round most of West Michigan.
(01:17):
So not looking to shabby.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Today's mini movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Well, the past week has been just fraught with drama
for the Cyrus family.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
We've been kind of updating.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
On this after Billy Ray Sun Trace called him out
publicly on social media, saying you have serious issues.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
We are all terrified we're going to lose you.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Billy Ray is now speaking out Ish for the first
time on this, calling for peace amid the family feud.
He posted a YouTube short yesterday with his song Somebody
said a prayer good. So it's interesting He posted this
(02:10):
YouTube Shore and then in the caption wrote praying for
my family, for my children, sons and daughters and their mother.
Let this moment be the start of healing for us.
All no response back from any of the family members,
including Trace, who kind of started this whole thing, And
as I mentioned yesterday, Miley's really been trying to keep
out of this entirely.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Is it bad when the olive brands that you extend
to your family is also promoting your brand new.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Song, old song.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Somebody's said a prayer, It seems a little less than pray.
One this Alec Baldwin and his wife Laria opening up
about the toll the actor's rust trial took on the
entire family, discussing the tragedy in a first look for
the new reality series, I had told you about this.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Is coming to TL SEED.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's going to be a big move for the family,
and you can see Lec actually breaking down in tears
over this.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Iyesa lost his mom in the most unthinkable tragedy. This
is never something to forget, and we're trying to parenter it. Honestly,
from the bottom of my soul, I don't know where
I'd be if I didn't have you in this cause.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
The Baldwins promises even more insight into the very tough year.
It's going to premiere February twenty third on TILC, so
just about a month away.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I honestly, I'm a fan of Alec Baldwin, and I
got to tell you I want to see this about
as much as I want to see rust.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, all right, Finally, Amanda Bynes is not engaged. She
sparked serious engagement rumors over the weekend after being spotted
with a massive rock on that ring finger, But according
to sources, the former Nickelodeon star is simply rocking some
new jewelry and is not engaged whatsoever. Even more than that,
(03:53):
she's not dating anyone right now. Ever since her split
from that ex fiance, Paul Michael back in twenty twenty three,
she's been focused on her health and making sure that
single Amanda is taking care of Amanda.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
So nothing happening with Amanda me and she's all good.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling? Let's do it.
It's feeling good on Starleino Fine forty seven, come on
into you, Mac and Schmidty and I saw this story yesterday,
Schmitty and I think this is just so wild to
think about. But a fifty three year old Alabama woman
is the only person on the planet who is currently
walking around with a pig organ. She's the only person
(04:33):
out there right now currently with a one hundred percent
animal organ in her body. Fifty three year old Tijuana
Looney of Alabama is actually thriving two months after this
groundbreaking transplant that is called a this is so weird
a Zeno transplantation. A doctor, actually, doctor Robert Montgomery from NYU,
(04:55):
performed the transplant, saying that her kidney function absolutely normal
and that she'll be likely able to return to home
and pretty much normal life in Alabama in about a
month now. These are a kidney one hundred percent from
a genetically modified pig that they have been experimenting for
decades now trying to build this research in order to
(05:17):
get these organs to not be rejected by their host.
And as of right now, Tawana is the longest living
person to ever have a fully functioning pig organ in
her body for this long. It's wild and could be
a breakthrough for the over one hundred thousand people currently
on the organ transplant list. In only about thirty thousand
of them actually receive organs each year, so it is
(05:39):
a big, big need and a possible huge breakthrough. But
it's absolutely wild. They talked about it quite a bit
on the CBS Evening News I'll put that video up
for you at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
All right, ladies, another big one for US as Olympic
soccer star Naomi Germa has officially become the first woman
in soccer to get paid. We need one million dollars.
She is headed across the pond after signing a record
breaking deal to play four years at the Chelsea women
(06:10):
Football Club in England, Announcing the other day a one
point one million.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Dollar transferred deal.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
She sat down with MBC saying this is way more
than about the money.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
It's something that we talk about a lot now in
the national team, having such a wide rented diversity and
all of us feeling like we're representation for younger players
and knowing how I think we realize how important that
is because when we were younger, we didn't have those
players to look up to. We didn't really see ourselves
in those shoes and as much as other people could.
(06:44):
And I think just when you're on a team and
you feel like you have that you know, shared experience,
and you have other people that look like you, it
can feel more comfortable and more natural. And I just
think everyone should have the opportunity to play if they
want to and that's something that we want to see
keep growing.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Germa has been on the National Women's League the last
two years, and she got her start thanks to her
Ethiopian father. When he came over, he thought starting a
soccer club in their San Diego community would be perfect
to bring the neighborhood together, and it turns out it's
pretty perfect for Naomi making a million bucks to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I love to see it a big time, always at first,
but she will be far from the last. Is soccer,
especially women's soccer, just exploding. It seems like everywhere feeling
good comes out to a couple times today. I always
want to lift your spirits a little bit. We'll do
it again at nine. Swanna hear on Star.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Seven singer Selena Gomez issuing a tearful apology to her
quote unquote paintball after US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency
people have rest in your league one thousand migrants in
just one day following President Trump's return to office, The
pop star taking to her Insta stories yesterday morning, I
(08:02):
just wouldn't say that.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I'm so sorry. Oh maybe people are getting tact the children.
I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I think she could do something that it can't, I mean,
visibly shaken and sobbing over these news reports Trump administration borders.
Aret tom Homan actually having a response last night on
Fox News.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I don't think we arrested any families.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
We've arrested public safety threat in natural security fasts.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Bottom line, Now, this is very interesting.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
When I checked yesterday and this morning, she has taken
this down. So not sure if maybe her team has
said this is just a little too political, if she
took it down herself, but just really hard to see Selena.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
She's having a hard time with us well.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And it was a pretty powerful, pretty powerful image and
a very polarizing issue obviously out there right now, and
so her for perspective, I think, especially for her fans,
very valid.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
An actress turned TV chef who used to be an
extra on Gossip Girl is claiming that Blake Lively was
horrendous to work with and is accusing Blake of throwing
Justin Baldoni under the bus because Blake's used to being adored.
Rosella Rago is host of a very popular YouTube Italian
(09:24):
food series, but she did a lot in Hollywood before them.
She did a TikTok the other day talking about how
Blake would burp and fart in the middle of set
and act like we were lucky to be smelling her farts.
She adds she was very unpleasant to work with. I
just don't know how else to say it. She said,
(09:45):
She's used to being adored and when she is not,
believe gets real, and Baldoni has found out how real
it gets interesting here she also brings up the Ryan
Reynolds part of this, where she says that he's a
big part why Blake feels this.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Way and is just as vicious as she is.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
There's a couple of really damaging stories for her in
the last couple of days.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I mean, I agree it's coming from an extra though,
and I do think the funniest part is basically the
worst thing she said about her is you chew it,
burp and fart in front of all of us, and
act like nobody should care.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Despicable.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I wouldn't be in a studio with somebody passing gas
on purpose. By the way, next scoop, I am in
Justin Baldoni going to show you the voice memo he
has just released, because he says, once again he's got
the receipts on all this. Finally, Eminem may absolutely love
the state of Michigan, but one thing that his music
catalog owners don't love a Ford dealership in Detroit trying
(10:43):
to use this song to make a profit. So eight
Mile Style controls parts of Eminem's music catalog, firing off
a lawsuit yesterday against a Ford dealership in Saint Clair,
It's right outside of Detroit, which owns multiple dealerships over
an online it started running last fall to promote a
limited edition Detroit Lions F one fifty pickup truck. The
(11:07):
ad not only scored with this song, but features a
caption that reads, you only get one shot to own
a special edition Detroit Lions F one fifty. As clever
as that is, eight Mile Style is not having it.
Remember they actually gave permission for Chrysler to use this
song in their twenty eleven Super Bowl ad.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Eight Miles says they got millions and millions.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Of dollars for this, and Ford is not getting a
free ride. They've asked a judge to award monetary damages
as well as pulling the ad immediately or dragging the
dealership to court.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I'd like to know the editor on the video and
what they were thinking of, Like, you know what, let's
just let's just see if anybody notices Detroit. Let's see
if anyone sees this.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Eminem by the way, not on the lawsuit at all.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
This is simply his music catalog owners all of your
celebscoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That's good wanting to you. Let's mack in Schmidti make
sure you're following a lot with my fabulous co host
at Schmidt in the Midt. I actually just watched your
video and honestly, uh, the generations of fathers and parents.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Did to make you feel so good.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I'm just echoing through eternity show, like I.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Don't think it's just Dad's right.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Tell me if I'm wrong here, Ladies, what person are
you in your house? Because the other day I'm walking
around and then last night I did kind of like
the walk through.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Everybody had been.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Going to bed, and I am such a stickler about lights.
I can't stand lights being kept on. I just feel
like our energy bill could be so much less expensive
if everybody just turned lights off. And my little son,
my six year old, was coming upstairs and he looks
at me, he goes, Bob, you're so cool. You're like,
(12:46):
you're like a light cop, a light cop, and honestly
the pure pride I felt in that, I was like,
that's right, buddy, I am a light cop because my husband,
he just feels as though his entire world in that
house needs to be illuminated overhead light is on, lamps
are on, bathroom light in our room not even used
(13:10):
by like the public, lights are on, fans are on.
It just drives me nuts since I walk around and
I just feel like I'm constantly flipping off lights. However,
I don't have that same kind of like situation with
a thermostat. That's always I will be the light cop
and then everything else is fine. But I can't stand
(13:30):
lights being left on if nobody's.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
In the room. My kids are gonna be mad at
me for saying this, I'm sure, but I'm sorry. I'm
the toilet cop in my house right now because if
when I find the unflushed toilets, I don't care. Oh
that makes me so angry, and I will walk. I
will call people. I'll be like, is is this here
for me to flush? Did I did I leave this here?
I don't think I love.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I guess my kids are trained pretty well. I have
never had an unflushed They love flushing.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Thinking about letting mine out of the crates anytime now,
love flush and body.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I'm sure like, Hey, this is fantastic. I do enjoy beca.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I put up my live body cam footage from being
a Light Coup last night on our Facebook page, and
Becca said, oh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
The short order cook, short order cook.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, that's again, just about anybody feel that.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Sorry I forgot to cut off all the crust on
your sandwich again. I didn't realize that.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Oh early parent confession, y'all. I told my son the
other day, I'm done cutting off crust. I said, if
you don't need the crust, your muscles fall out. I
don't know if it's bad parenting to a six and
a half year old, but guess what he did yesterday
during lunch.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
He ate his peanut butter and jelly crust at stool.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
But he's a completely riffed to eighteen year old. He'll
be thanking to his mother's you made me eat all
the crust?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Oh when six one six, four five eight one five seven.
What kind of person are you in the house? The cleaner,
the thermostat protector, or leave us a talk back inside
our iHeartRadio app when you listen to West Michigan start off.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Smitty's so salty, Yes she is.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
And that's why we dropped this weekly vent session to
just let it all out. Who's if you will and
your chance right now Schmitty with salty Schmitty. And honestly,
I'm listening intently because I'm always very worried what someone
thinks when they walk into my home.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Do you have crooked blinds?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Do I have crooked b linds? No? I think they're straight.
You sure well, because because I gotten more and more
so than I have blinds in our house.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I gotta tell you I cannot stand crooked blinds. And
I was pulling in from the show yesterday and my
daughter's room is at the front, and I could see
like one side is lower than the other. And I
think it is the trashiest thing in the entire world.
If you listened earlier, and I was talking about being
a light cop in our house because they'll go around
(15:46):
and turn lights off that aren't being used.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
I am also a blind police office. I cannot.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I will go to every room and make sure. If
you're like cranking up the blinds and they're not even
or they don't match up, it's I'm so sorry. I
think it looks absolutely horrendous and actually takes away from
the curve appeal.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Honestly, though, tell me at some point in your life,
because I don't think I know a single person that
you know when they were in their twenties at least,
or where they were living by themselves, so the first
time didn't have that one blind in the house that
was always just a bitcock ey.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
And it's all the way up. Then it's all the
way up, and I don't care if it's my bathroom.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You might see some things because I can't handle crooked blinds, shalty.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
So stalky, movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Well actor and director Justin Baldoni, following through on his
promise to release all his communications with Blake Lively, dropping
an almost seven minute apology voice memo he sent her
at two am while they were working on the It
Ends with Us script. You can hear he sounds very sorrowful.
(16:56):
This goes back to some rewrites they had written for
the movies rooftop scene to set the mood here.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Hey, Blake, it is two in the morning. Hopefully this
does not wake you up. Wow, there's so much I
want to say to you, and I hope that we
can FaceTime or see each other in person soon and
get to talk more. But I'm just going to send
you a few thoughts and hopefully it's not going to
(17:23):
be more than a few minutes. But I don't have
the best track record. I don't think either one of
us have the best track record for our voice memos.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
It's really interesting. He goes on to say, I'm probably
gonna upset you. I'm really sorry. I screwed up. I'll
admit it. I'll apologize about it. I am a flawed man.
My wife will definitely attest to that. He's apologizing for
his reaction to those script changes Blake had left. He
also brings up the fact that her husband, Ryan Reynolds,
had been a part of this meeting, and then at
(17:55):
the end said again, I'm going to find my way
back to center. I'm really sorry I made you feel
that way. I will for sure do better. And it's
all in the seven minute voice memo.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Gotta tell you, I'm not a big fan of getting
seven minute long voice memos and deep dark voices at.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Three o'clock in the morningside two o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, and I gotta tell you, I bet you. Ryan
Reynolds was a big fan of that movie either.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
But the receipts, he continues to say, He's got the receipts.
Mcaulay culkin and Brenda's Song are discussing their very famously
low key romance in their first ever joint interview.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
This week.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
They did a big photo shoot for Cosmopolitan's History Making
Love issue, where they talked about the key to their
successful romance. The pairs said they are really proud of
the fact that fans did not realize they were together
and had a family, McCauley saying the public suddenly was like, wait,
they're together.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
And they have kids. Good, that means we did our job.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
The couple got engaged three years ago, but say they
don't feel the pressure for a big wedding, Brenda saying

Oh nothing spells love like I'm waiting on my last
love to officially be legally destroyed before we get married.
That is not the top answer, though, I'm sorry, Okay,

said waiting for that last divorce to be finalized. But
that was not on the list. So what do you
think it is?

four tickets coming your way. It kicks off Thursday and

you to win over at West Michigan star dot com.
But we'll do it again tomorrow eight fifteen. You're on Starck,
(22:33):
come on in to you. It's Mack and Schmidty and
I'm really interested to hear your answer on this, Schmidty,
because I think if your husband is a very capable guy.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, he's et stuffed.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
His dad was a carpenter, so he feels very mean.
He feels optimistic, is what I'll say.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
You know what, I'm an optimistic guy too, and that's
how I was feeling. What is the home repair or
remodel that you thought was going to be diy And
it turned into you calling a pro because you just
not handle the job that you thought you could. Because
for me, I was very confident in my abilities to
change out the fan in my shower bathroom. We were
(23:11):
repainting the ceiling. Anyways, I made some really nice stuckout
repair to the ceiling. Job looks pretty good, I will
say I did that one all right. We were repainting
the walls and this fan is I don't know if
it's from the nineties or even earlier than that, but
I was like, it's loud, let's replace it. My wife goes, well,
we're probably gonna have to call somebody to do that. Go,
what are you talking about. It's just a fan. I'm
(23:34):
gonna look on YouTube. But it's just some one last word,
you know, no big deal. You know, it's just the
white and black ones. You plug it in right here, Fine, honey.
I went into home depot, I brought the thing with me.
I took this fan down and I was so confident
that I was just gonna be able to plug the
new one in and we were done. The guy looks
at me and he goes, what's that yep. I go, well,
(23:56):
this is the exhaust fan from my bathroom. And he goes, poof,
I haven't seen one that looks like that in a
long time.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
You're like.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I'm like, well, it's it's new tone. I mean, like,
I don't know what year it's from. But like at
the same time, I'm like, it's got these exhaust things
that are rectangling. He goes, you see all the ones
on the wall. He goes, you see every one of
those is a circle. Yours is a rectangle. Sir. He's like, honestly,
did you try googling that exact part? And I said, yeah,
I did, but they don't make it anymore. And he goes, yeah,
you gotta be honest with you. I've never seen one
(24:24):
like that. He goes, You're gonna have to call somebody,
And immediately it was like somebody punched me in the
stomach and that person was my wife in my head
because I was like, are you are you gonna make
me admit defeat here? Because I'm honestly at the point
with this one, because she really hammerd it. She she
made me feel bad, like, Okay, you got it all right,
let me know, let me know when the guy's coming over.
Because she works at home. She's like, let me know
(24:46):
when he's coming over to pluck it. I'm thinking about
waiting for a day that my wife is out of
the house, just so I can get a profession in
there and then say I did it all.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
I mean, you don't have to admit defeat. You just
won't have a shower fan. So it's it's really one
of the other I think it's a pretty simple did.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You just do anything like this in your house? I mean,
so we reached an entire bathroom. So I think I
think our audience was around when I.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Had our huge issue.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
We had a contractor come in steal a bunch of
our money, so we had to do it ourselves. So
I know that when you look at a ceiling fan
in your bathroom and you go, oh, it's just an
exhaust fan. Then you bring someone in that goes, oh,
this is not to fire code. This is exhausting into
your basement. Everything is wrong with this that there is
nothing I will probably do in my home without calling.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Honestly, as soon as this happened and I started to struggle,
she goes, do you remember the last time when you
installed a ceiling fan in our first house and you
started a fire? And I said that was shoddy electrical
work that I didn't do, not my fault, And she's like, yeah,
at the same time, I'd like to sleep at night.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Maybe you are really de Lulu optimistic.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Some down does I get a good feeling, You get
the day off to a great start. It's feeling good
on startwe on fine point seven. What's happenings? Really?
Speaker 4 (25:58):
So leave it to.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Michigan native and incredible actor Jeff Daniels to have such
an incredibly perfect piece of parenting advice. He sat down
actually a couple months ago with Canada's Sports network TSN,
but the interview is going viral for him telling parents
how those rides home from sporting events should really go.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
Time you spend in the car driving two hours to
the rink for that eight a m. Game and the
time you spend driving back, that's why you do it,
and you talk to them about anything other than hockey.
If they want to talk about the game, okay, But
(26:43):
it was never about you got to get that slapshot working,
because if you want to be at a D one school,
and I know you're only ten, but you've got to
start getting to work. We were never that, and I
think that our time spent with the kids in those
car rides, not talking about hockey paid the way for
(27:03):
the close sits we have as a family in their
twenties and thirties. That was more important than any career
success I might have had.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Isn't that absolutely incredible? The time you spend with your
kids in the car, not talking about the sports, but
talking about those bigger life things, and how excited your
kids get for those even though you might not realize it.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Is his greatest accomplishment.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Jeff Daniels has some of the most brilliant and well
orated speeches of all time.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
He's so insightful and it's just such a great piece
of parenting advice.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I love that guy all right. Spending of course, last week,
we know that those snow storms blanketed the South in
ways like they almost had never had before, and that
includes in Alabama, when a young couple was trying to
get to the hospital in time for the birth of
their son. Shana Bennett's as well was an active labor
and the father, Keion, driving to the hospital, but with
that winter storm dumping as much as eleven inches of snow,
(27:59):
closed some of the roads, even though they were only
about a mile from the hospital. As Shana explained to
the news there, she was not gonna make it.
Speaker 8 (28:12):
I felt the baby head the red light, and so
once we got into the Christma Kree parking lot, I
couldn't stop pushing, and I just saw a home sliding
out and I'm like, come grab, we'll go grab.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
That's right. Kean was able to grab them. They were
actually on the phone with nine one one when it happened.
As I mentioned, only about a mile away, so rescuers
were on the way to Krispy Kream as this is
all unfolding right there in their parking lot, and she
described herself as a superwoman as they were taking her
away in the ambulance. She certainly was. Krispy Kreme noticing
(28:45):
and offering up, okay, get this free donuts for a year,
and they of course offered the very first birthday party
for newly named Dallas to join them on at the
Krispy Kreme. And then Krispy Kreme Corporate found out about
it and said, no, forget that, We'll do every single
birthday party on the house until to get his eighteen
(29:05):
years old. So it's just really cool. And I'm the
birth certificate little baby Dallas doing great, and where it's
his place of birth, they literally have written Krispy Kreck,
How awesome is that? I'm feeling good coping at you
a couple of times today. I always want to just
share those great stories to lighten your day a little
bit or inspire you, just like mister Jeff Daniels did there.
We'll do it again tomorrow six forty five and nine
(29:27):
twenty Here on Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday,
starting at six am on Star one oh five point
seven
