Then you get excited about a whole three days.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Something about Friday Junior though I don't know, it's just
the junior. It's like Disney Junior or Nick Junior. To me,
it just sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I'm just there.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Second.
Speaker 6 (00:30):
Hey, as we get up this morning, just a heads up.
If you are listening to Allendale right now, there are
about twenty five hundred of you without power. Not really
sure what happened here, but I wanted to give the
update that cruise are working, so hopefully it doesn't throw
your morning off too bad. You can listen on our
iHeartRadio app, but hopefully you had everything charged up.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I was checking. I'm like, man, that's a rough start
to a Thursday.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Not as bad of a start as it was for
that squirrel. You know they're not doing too good.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
I'm sure right now, can't confirm her tonight, not sure
they're But the good news is if your ac is
maybe off. You're not suffering too bad. Oh, guys, it
feels like such a relief. I was actually, uh caught
in that rain last night, and that temperature drop once
it moved through was so nice, and it's feeling downright
(01:17):
refreshing this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Uh, it's kind of feel that way, I think pretty
much for the day for you, because we've got temperatures
in the mid sixties out there right now, but highs
only in the low to mid seventies coming our way
today with a little bit of a breeze, some cloudy skies.
There'll be a little bit of a drizzle here and there,
especially early on this morning, Maddy.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
But to give it the comfortable day.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Well, I find this very intriguing and something I have
never heard of in my life. Miley Cyrus's mom, Tish,
has revealed her belief in a very interesting conspiracy theory
about underground tunnels in Los Angeles. She was on the
Boyfriend Material podcast alongside her daughter Brandy when these tunnels
(02:06):
came up. She even linked Will Smith into this thing.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
About the La Tunnels.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Oh okay, Molly, that's not real.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
She's convinced.
Speaker 8 (02:15):
I think the La tunnels are real. I heard Will
Smith has a whole underground bunker in La. I believe
it goes down and there's all kinds of and all
I have this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
I just think there's all kinds of stuff that's gonna happen,
and that's that.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It's just love the conspiracy.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
But I don't think they're conspiracies. I think they're true.
That's what all conspiracy theory. No, Like the government is
the people that came up with the work conspiracy theory anyway,
that's what they all say.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
I just think it's such a fasit conversation, like it's
the government and her daughter's like literally, that's what every
conspiracy theorist says.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I was waiting for the X Files thing to come
out there and be like the truth is out there.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
TIS wouldn't be crazy if there was like a bunch
of underground tunnels where all the rich people will go.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
When like see Nuke said.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Well, she said something about Will Smith having an underground bunker.
That part I could believe easily, that part if you
told me super rich people like Will Smith had very paradise.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
If you haven't watched Paradise on Hulu yet, oh man,
is it good? Just a real quick update, because why
would we not continue to talk about the legal drama
surrounding it ends with us. Blake Lively's highly anticipated deposition
has been pushed back. So I had this update a
couple days ago justin Baldoni's legal team was fighting that
(03:31):
Blake should have to be on their turf for the deposition.
Blake's people were fighting they were only doing that to
make this a media circus. A judge said, yeah, you
can do it at Blake's offices. But what was supposed
to take place in just a few days has now
been moved to the end of the month. The only
interesting thing here is this apparently was a mutual decision,
so for once both sides agreed on something.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
July thirty, first, hang on, we got to figure out
what questions we need to ask you now probably.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
And then finally, these videos are wild. There is a
massive music festival planned this weekend in Belgium, but we'll
sneeve that still happens because the main stage burnt to
the ground yesterday. It's called the Tomorrowland Festival. This goes
down in Belgium. It's a multi day fest that was
(04:19):
set to start tomorrow. These aren't massive names. David Getta,
Martin Garrick's, Swedish House Mafia, Steve Aoki, a ton of
DJs already in town getting ready for this check out.
Just the sound of this entire stage coming down to
(04:41):
the ground burnt, just rubble last night. Organizers for the
Tomorrowland Festival confirming thankfully there were no injuries, but due
to serious damage they're not sure what they're going to do.
So if people were going to Brussels or Antwerp for things,
you're fine. But the main stage absolute decimated. So I'll
(05:02):
have that video for you with your scoop at West
Michigan start dot com.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
He's selling a five points seven. It's back and Schmidty
and I got to bring this back up. Schmidty, I
know you mentioned it before, but it's just such a
cool story I wanted to share again. The fiftieth anniversary
of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, the most famous
shipwreck in the history of the state of Michigan, where
they are going to be doing a sixty eight swimmer
(05:26):
four hundred and eleven mile relay swim.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
This is wild.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Starting on July twenty sixth, they're going to go from
the shipwreck site in Lake Superior to the ship's intended
destination in Detroit again Lake Superior to Detroit swimming of course,
the tragic of the Edmund FitzGeralds sinking, Clinting the lives
of twenty nine people in nineteen seventy five, and famously,
(05:51):
you know that Gordon Lightfoot song, still just a haunting song.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I love that one for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
But it's gonna be led by event director Jim Dryer,
who caught up with Wood TV and just talked about
how absolutely meaningful this is, especially for the victims' families
that are still with us here today, and just that
this is a once in a life opportunity.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
That's where the twenty nine men where they lie beneath us.
Speaker 9 (06:13):
So we're going to start with a ceremony there and
it's a very moving way to start to swim, and
this is truly a once in a lifetime event, and
these swimmers have a chance to make history while they're
commemorating history.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
And really people jumped on it.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yes they did, and not only that, but they fundraise
forward too. They've already raised one hundred and eighty eight
thousand dollars that's going to go to preserving Whitefish Point
Light Station, which of course went dark during the night
of the shipwrecked. The whole thing's going to wrap up
August twenty eighth with the bell ringing ceremony at the
Mariner's Church in Detroit, ringing twenty nine times for each
one of those lost crew members.

career during College Game Day, Pat mcabee and his entire
College Game Day crew on stage to give him a
beautiful sendoff, and it was what he had to say

Speaker 1 (10:58):
I mean, Lee Corso an absolute lege.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
To down the head one more time, and finally, I
just thought this was such a feel good story. James
Gunn's new Superman has unexpectedly boosted dog adoptions. So if
you haven't seen the movie yet, Crypto is Superman's loyal
foster dog who really steals the spotlight. Well, Google just
(11:23):
announcing a report that searches for Adopt a Dog near
me have searched more than five hundred percent, Rescue dog
adoption near me up almost two hundred percent, and adopt
a Schnauzer specifically, which is Crypto's braid climbing three hundred percent.
Shelters across the country have reported such positive feedback about this,
(11:47):
And if you were wondering, Crypto was actually inspired by
James's own rescue pup Ozu, making that impact pretty great.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That is really awesome. Man, the fact that Superman has
a dog. How long before people name their children Crypto?
That's what I want to Yeah, probably way too soon.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
All of yours celebscoop at West.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Michigan start up on I'd like to hear Tim Allen's
voice now doing a lot of this pure Michigan stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
For you right now.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Well, on one of my other shows, we do this.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
We call it your pure Michigan Moment because it's just
something that only Michiganders would really understand. So I got
to tell you last night blown Away, I went for
the first time ever, and I feel it shamed even
saying that our Grand Rapid Symphonies picnic pops. Okay, So
they hosted out at the Meadows at Millennium Park now,
which is such a gorgeous space, and it was super
last minute. A friend of mine was like, I've got
(12:34):
an extra ticket. Kids are free with the tickets, So
will and I went out there. It was Patriotic Night,
which was really cool. So they had all of the
incredible songs about America and it was SUSA and it
was Williams.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
It was really great. But we're sitting probably twenty maybe.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
Twenty five minutes into the set and we can see
the clouds coming away.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Everybody was it was dark as that was rolling through.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So it wasn't for us.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
That was what was weird, because depending on where you
were in West Michigan. Some people like, we didn't get
any of this in Rockford last night, so it's it's
kind of creeping in and we're like, but there's sunshine still.
There was some blue sky behind it, and then it
started to sprinkle.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Whatever.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
We live in Michigan, we deal. The drops got bigger
and bigger. You saw people start to kind of look around,
and then the heavens opened, I mean massive rain drops.
Everyone's like trying to cover their stuff. And it was
so wonderful because I got video of the conductor, who,
by the way, had his back turned and in the
course of one song all of this happened. So he
(13:34):
turns around about and everyone is like drenched. He doesn't
know what's going on, so this is really funny.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
We are not going to do.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
So and he just kept going because what do you
do in Michigan when there is weather, You fight through it.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Baby.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
I did not see a single person leave that field.
Everyone had their umbrellas. Everyone had pond shows, a backup
plastic covering for your picnic baskets or wagons.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
The kids.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Not a single person moved from their chair because we
were like, you.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Know what, we needed a good soaking.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
We needed a good soak and we're in a bit
of a drought here in the Minten.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
But boy, oh boy, this music is fantastic.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
I paid my ticket price and there is no way
weather is driving me away from this picnic. Pops, and boy,
I don't know any other state in this country that
deals with it as well as us Michiganders.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Honestly, you have to have thick skin because you know,
you're wearing a T shirt when it's forty five degrees outside.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
So it's literally beneficial for us.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I was blown away.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
I'm looking at the symphony and they're just like, no,
the floutists are continuing the percussion, not missing a baby.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
They had.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
No covering, but it's still open.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Air like it was so fantastic, and I thought, man,
this one I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I'm so proud to be from Michigan.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I just opened up my spin valve. I can't tell
whether this is real, so there you go.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
I was if you if you were at Millennium Park
last night for the picnic Pops, just know we were
all brothers and sisters in arms, baby, because there ain't
no weather that's gonna take us down.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I love it these music and all the gossip in
one place.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Okay, I get it.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Detroit Lyons fans want to see a Super Bowl, But
I think this might be a little cooler. Im and
Ras Saint Brown is getting a Cereal box, one of
three Pro Bowl wide receivers to be featured on a
major serial brand ahead of training camp. And even cooler,
it's going to be featuring his signature handstand celebration. So
(15:53):
amen Ra was just selected to go on the box
of honey Nut Cheerios. He's going to be wearing a
Cereal themed jersey while doing that signature handstand, which of
course we saw in that touchdown win over the Green
Bay Packers. General Mills very excited about this partnership. He
is one of three wide receivers that will find their
(16:13):
faces on Cereal. The Vikings Justin Jefferson as well as
the Bengals Jamar Chase round out those trio of wide receivers.
The Saint Brown honey nut cheerios will be available all
across the country in grocery stores starting next month.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I'd also like to see him in commercials with that beat.
The honey nuts cherios be.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
That flies are huge.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
I love a good honey nut cheerio, I really do.
Former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, laughing off
the wild divorce rumors that have been running rampant the
past few months, the President finally a guest on Michelle's podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I am O.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Folks think we divorce.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
See none of the kinds of things, and I just
miss right.
Speaker 11 (16:59):
So I don't even know this stuff's going on, right,
And then somebody will mention it to me and I'm all, like,
what you're talking about?
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Yeah, there hasn't been one moment in our marriage where
I thought about Quentin, my man. And we've had some
really hard time so we had have had a lot
of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have
become a better person because of the man I'm married to.
Speaker 11 (17:26):
Okay, don't make me cry now, don't let me start
tearing up now.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
So you know this also made me really want to
see more former presidents do interviews like this, like either
side of the Aisle. I think it would be so
fascinating to deep dive how a marriage survives a presidency.
I mean, it's got easily one of the most stressful
jobs on the planet, and I just thought this was
such an interesting look into that.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I loved the idea that you said he was finally
on Michelle's podcast, like he was waiting this whole time,
like She's like, you know what, I don't want you on.
They're ruining my podcast just yet.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It was pretty good.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
The videos out there, A West Michigan Star dot Com
and finally, Harry Potter star Emma Watson really took the
Hogwarts express literally.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
She was caught speeding and now can't drive for six months.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
The former Harry Potter star was caught going thirty eight
in a thirty mile per hour zone in Oxford. This
actually went down last July, but her hearing just came
up yesterday thirty eight in a thirty and she got
banned from driving in the country for six months, as
well as being hit with a fourteen hundred dollars Fine.
(18:44):
Here's the problem, Emma, it happens to the best of us,
she already had nine points on her license.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Oh wow, thanks, So.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Apparently the UK doesn't mess around.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
In fact, they have a twelve point cap where you
automatically lose your life. Since so only six months isn't bad.
But yep, she's going to be needing to catch a
few rides.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
At first, I thought maybe the judge was part of
how Slytherin or something like that. But man's the point
that deserves a baby?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
All right?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
All if you were celeb Scoop at West Michigan Star
dot com, I.
Speaker 3 (19:15):

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Today's question, we've got one hundred men surveyed. Besides a bear,
so it's not a bear.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
What is the most common stuffed animal or as my
kids would say, stuffy. They do not know what stuffed
animal is. We've never used that in our lives.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I guess off the top of my head, I would
say dog. But in my house there's a. We have
an eight foot tall stuffed lemur that my daughter wanted
cedar point. So that's the only one that enters my
thoughts right now because it's literally taking up tons of
space in my.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Home, really more than our twelve Bluey's and bingos?
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Why they sized Costco sized bluey at my house? Six
one six, four five eight one oh five seven caller seven?
One hundred men surveyed besides a bear, what is the
most common stuffed animal?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
A star?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Who's this, Josh? Where are you calling from today? Man?
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Him?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
All right, gott tell me, Josh.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
When one hundred guys were asked to name the most
common stuffed animal besides a bear, what do you think,
the top answer was, Joshua, go for unicorn?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Nicorn.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
You know, specifically, if we were talking about girls stuffed animals,
unicorn would be at the top.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
But it's not on here.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Man.
Speaker 10 (20:36):
I'm sorry, alrighty, thank you, Hi.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Star. Who's this, Susan? Where you calling from today?
Speaker 5 (20:44):
I'm calling from that to the Michigan all right.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
One hundred guys were asked to name the most popular
stuffed animal besides a bear, and Josh was just on.
He guess unicorn, which was not on the list, but
was a good guess. What do you think it is? Oh,
a flamingo, I'd be out of That'd be a cool
stuffed animal, but definitely not one.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Of the most common ones. I'm sorry, Susan, thank you
high star. Who's this? Kim a hunter guy's rest today?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
The most common stuffed animal besides a bear, and so
far I've heard guesses of a of a flamingo that
I just got a second ago as well as I
can't remember, but it wasn't on the list here, so
you got a chance.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
What do you think of this puppy dog? Puppy dog?
That was where my first thoughts went too.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
And you know what, I'm a very smart guy if
I do say myself, because.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Dogs is the top answer, a way to go.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, you're bringing the kiddos over to Frederick Meyer Gardens
and Sculpture Punk.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Good morning to you. It's back and schmitty.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
And you know what happens in life, especially when you
don't you're not experiencing the thing you're dealing with, and
you panic. When you find out something's happening, you just
freak out and then it turns out to be not
that big of a deal. Chis are it happens over
and over again in life? That happened for my wife
not yesterday. We had a guy come over to fix
our oven because it is on the fritz and has
been since like the fourth of July. We've been ovenless,
(22:06):
don't have the stove top or the oven.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Big pain in the buck.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
So anyway, we got this guy coming over and he
gets back there and he works with the gas velve
behind the stove and then he you know, he looks
for the parts he needs and then he leaves. A
couple of minutes later, my wife comes upstairs and you goes,
do you smell gas? And I'm going now, but you know,
my sense of smell is just awful. She's like, I
smell gas, and I'm trying to be like, I don't know,
(22:30):
you know, I'm just like it can't be the guy
turned it off, and then I get closer and I'm like, okay,
I also can smell the gas down for it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Just like, by the way, one of the most terrifying smells.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Right, and you think in your head, like every movie
you've ever seen, like when there's gas coming out of
the thing behind the stove, you're just one little flame
away from your whole house exploding into I think.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I'm falling asleep and dying.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
That's where I go with Yeah, that's that's where you
go with gas too. So my wife is in hysterics.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
So right, so I get back there and I close it,
and I think that I have moved it just a
little bit and that that has done it. I'm like,
I was smelling it, you know, it start to pass.
We're using fans, We're getting all the gas out of
the house, all the stuff, and then we leave for
a little bit, come back smell gas again. So literally,
I'm she is outside of the house calling DT energypically.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Like repair people will say, hey, there may be a
little bit of a lingering, but there's nothing to worry about.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
That's just because I worked on the line.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
So the guy who can't who put it in comes
back to the house, thankfully, he was cool about it.
DT gets there and then we get a science lesson
and how much gas needs to be mixed into the
air with oxygen and order for explosion to occur. The
guy's like, oh, yeah, we could have let this leak
go on for days and days and days. You could
have walked here with wile flamethrower and it had been fine,
(23:44):
Like he's just basically telling us, you guys are so stupid. Yeah,
and don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Science charging for this visit.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
My life was certain that.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
If we so much has flipped on a light switch,
we were about to go kubboom shmitty. Hey.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
But that's how I feel about water heaters.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Water heaters are an absolute phobia of my new guys,
because you read these stories where they they blow up
and take an entire house out. Well, we had to
get our water heater fixed. Godwin came fabulous guys, and
I was like, so should we should we evacuate?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
KaiA is like what I go?
Speaker 6 (24:20):
I don't know, man, I gotta be very honest with you.
Water heaters very much scare me.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
They do look like giant bombs kind of well, and
if you let it.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Go and the pressure gets going, I'm just like, what
do you need me to do here?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Because I don't want either one of us to die.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I put two of these up on Facebook and I
got two fantastic answers.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
First off from Lisa hy two K. Yes.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Everyone was panicking about why two K and what happened. Nothing,
absolutely nothing happened April, though she nailed it.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Murder hornets. There was a hot minute, but everybody was
attle word.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
The same as cicadas.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
The cicada invasion that they promised us for months, Yeah,
is not a thing.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Y'all were good.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
We're safe from cicadas and hornets. What did you initially
panic about? Just freak out over. I want to be
a not big deal. We've got to going on Facebook
and Instagram at West Michigan stock Yo. But give me
that little pushed each day started in the right direction.
Mack and Schmitty on Stato five point seven. It's feeling good.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
So I got to tell you, I'm always in awe
of scientific and medical innovation, and we talk about this
all the time.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That is happening in Grand Rapids.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
So many of our incredible doctors and researchers are finding
breakthrough technology to make people better. And I saw this
story yesterday and my mind was blown. Life changing incisionless
brain surgery. It's now happening at Corewell Health right here
(25:44):
in Grand Rapids. So doctor Lee is performing this for
patients who suffer from tremors, things like Parkinson's disease and
other problems that affect their day to day lives. For instance,
you maybe can't even pick up a fork to eat dinner.
He has revolutionized this surgery to fix that. Now there's
a lot of very smart jargon and medical procedure Doctor
(26:09):
Lee knows all too well, but pretty much in Layman's turns.
For us non medical degree people. The procedure is different
from traditional brain surgery because you can literally put on
this helmet, as he describes it, and they are targeting
parts of the brain to fix these problems. Okay, talk
(26:31):
to it from a patient's perspective. Jane Duson Dang is
one of those whose life completely changed when she started
to get tremors. And now post surgery.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
I can now use my right hand. I can write
my name for the first time in years. I can
actually Yesterday I wrote a letter to my high school girlfriend.
I haven't written a letter in forever.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
It's remarkable.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Remarkable. Doctor Lee calls this ultrasound treatment and as she
tells you what TV, it almost sounded too good to
be true, except it is, and it's right here in
West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
And I just felt like we had to bring that up.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
I mean incisionless surgery. Just said surgery indictory.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
It's grain surgery.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
SCHMIDI.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
This is a cool story up north from America's hat
in Canada. It was back in twenty twelve when lovebirds
Brad Squire's and his girlfriend Anita, they were hanging out
on bell Isle not bell Isle r Bellisle Boy about
bell Island off the coast of Newfoundland in Canada. And
they were long distance staters that got the idea to
write a letter and stuff in a wine bottle that
(27:37):
they had just drank. Kind of cute, they wrote on
the bottle. Today we enjoyed dinner, this bottle of wine
and each other on the edge of the islands. Brad
threw this bad boy into Conception Bay there in Canada
and then just time went out again. This was twenty twelve,
well just earlier this month, on July seventh, according to
the Canada Press, the bottle was found on the other
(28:00):
side of the ocean. It went from North America to
Europe and was found by Kate and Jean Gay on
the Maharis Peninsula, which is in southwest Ireland. Traveled eighteen
hundred miles over the course of those thirteen plus years.
They broke it open with their local Conservatorship Society and
(28:22):
inside read the letter and immediately of course, wanted to
find the authors of it. Less than an hour later,
a local there in Ireland named Martha Ferrell confirmed that
they were not only still together, but were now married
with three kids.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Very sweet.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
So in that time it took the bottle to travel
across the Europe. Their love story continued and now they
have a great family. And the Squires married in twenty sixteen.
And they say, Anita and I both feel like we
have new friends and we're all equally amazed. I guess
we have some people to visit in a trip to
probably plan cute, pretty awesome feeling good comes at you
a couple times today this year. Amazing things with you.
(28:58):
We'll do it again tomorrow six forty five and nine
twenty Here on Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday,
starting at six am on Star one oh five point
seven
Wakem It gets my day going.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It makes me laugh.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I of it. Mac and Schmidty in the morning on
Star one O five point seven, good morning, say good morning,
welcoming too. What do you want to go with Friday?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I like a weekend eve, weekend eves?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
I do.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Then you get excited about a whole three days.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Something about Friday Junior though I don't know, it's just
the junior. It's like Disney Junior or Nick Junior. To me,
it just sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I'm just there.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Second.
Speaker 6 (00:30):
Hey, as we get up this morning, just a heads up.
If you are listening to Allendale right now, there are
about twenty five hundred of you without power. Not really
sure what happened here, but I wanted to give the
update that cruise are working, so hopefully it doesn't throw
your morning off too bad. You can listen on our
iHeartRadio app, but hopefully you had everything charged up.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I was checking. I'm like, man, that's a rough start
to a Thursday.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Not as bad of a start as it was for
that squirrel. You know they're not doing too good.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
I'm sure right now, can't confirm her tonight, not sure
they're But the good news is if your ac is
maybe off. You're not suffering too bad. Oh, guys, it
feels like such a relief. I was actually, uh caught
in that rain last night, and that temperature drop once
it moved through was so nice, and it's feeling downright
(01:17):
refreshing this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Uh, it's kind of feel that way, I think pretty
much for the day for you, because we've got temperatures
in the mid sixties out there right now, but highs
only in the low to mid seventies coming our way
today with a little bit of a breeze, some cloudy skies.
There'll be a little bit of a drizzle here and there,
especially early on this morning, Maddy.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
But to give it the comfortable day.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Well, I find this very intriguing and something I have
never heard of in my life. Miley Cyrus's mom, Tish,
has revealed her belief in a very interesting conspiracy theory
about underground tunnels in Los Angeles. She was on the
Boyfriend Material podcast alongside her daughter Brandy when these tunnels
(02:06):
came up. She even linked Will Smith into this thing.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
About the La Tunnels.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Oh okay, Molly, that's not real.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
She's convinced.
Speaker 8 (02:15):
I think the La tunnels are real. I heard Will
Smith has a whole underground bunker in La. I believe
it goes down and there's all kinds of and all
I have this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
I just think there's all kinds of stuff that's gonna happen,
and that's that.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It's just love the conspiracy.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
But I don't think they're conspiracies. I think they're true.
That's what all conspiracy theory. No, Like the government is
the people that came up with the work conspiracy theory anyway,
that's what they all say.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
I just think it's such a fasit conversation, like it's
the government and her daughter's like literally, that's what every
conspiracy theorist says.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I was waiting for the X Files thing to come
out there and be like the truth is out there.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
TIS wouldn't be crazy if there was like a bunch
of underground tunnels where all the rich people will go.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
When like see Nuke said.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Well, she said something about Will Smith having an underground bunker.
That part I could believe easily, that part if you
told me super rich people like Will Smith had very paradise.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
If you haven't watched Paradise on Hulu yet, oh man,
is it good? Just a real quick update, because why
would we not continue to talk about the legal drama
surrounding it ends with us. Blake Lively's highly anticipated deposition
has been pushed back. So I had this update a
couple days ago justin Baldoni's legal team was fighting that
(03:31):
Blake should have to be on their turf for the deposition.
Blake's people were fighting they were only doing that to
make this a media circus. A judge said, yeah, you
can do it at Blake's offices. But what was supposed
to take place in just a few days has now
been moved to the end of the month. The only
interesting thing here is this apparently was a mutual decision,
so for once both sides agreed on something.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
July thirty, first, hang on, we got to figure out
what questions we need to ask you now probably.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
And then finally, these videos are wild. There is a
massive music festival planned this weekend in Belgium, but we'll
sneeve that still happens because the main stage burnt to
the ground yesterday. It's called the Tomorrowland Festival. This goes
down in Belgium. It's a multi day fest that was
(04:19):
set to start tomorrow. These aren't massive names. David Getta,
Martin Garrick's, Swedish House Mafia, Steve Aoki, a ton of
DJs already in town getting ready for this check out.
Just the sound of this entire stage coming down to
(04:41):
the ground burnt, just rubble last night. Organizers for the
Tomorrowland Festival confirming thankfully there were no injuries, but due
to serious damage they're not sure what they're going to do.
So if people were going to Brussels or Antwerp for things,
you're fine. But the main stage absolute decimated. So I'll
(05:02):
have that video for you with your scoop at West
Michigan start dot com.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
He's selling a five points seven. It's back and Schmidty
and I got to bring this back up. Schmidty, I
know you mentioned it before, but it's just such a
cool story I wanted to share again. The fiftieth anniversary
of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, the most famous
shipwreck in the history of the state of Michigan, where
they are going to be doing a sixty eight swimmer
(05:26):
four hundred and eleven mile relay swim.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
This is wild.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Starting on July twenty sixth, they're going to go from
the shipwreck site in Lake Superior to the ship's intended
destination in Detroit again Lake Superior to Detroit swimming of course,
the tragic of the Edmund FitzGeralds sinking, Clinting the lives
of twenty nine people in nineteen seventy five, and famously,
(05:51):
you know that Gordon Lightfoot song, still just a haunting song.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I love that one for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
But it's gonna be led by event director Jim Dryer,
who caught up with Wood TV and just talked about
how absolutely meaningful this is, especially for the victims' families
that are still with us here today, and just that
this is a once in a life opportunity.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
That's where the twenty nine men where they lie beneath us.
Speaker 9 (06:13):
So we're going to start with a ceremony there and
it's a very moving way to start to swim, and
this is truly a once in a lifetime event, and
these swimmers have a chance to make history while they're
commemorating history.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
And really people jumped on it.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yes they did, and not only that, but they fundraise
forward too. They've already raised one hundred and eighty eight
thousand dollars that's going to go to preserving Whitefish Point
Light Station, which of course went dark during the night
of the shipwrecked. The whole thing's going to wrap up
August twenty eighth with the bell ringing ceremony at the
Mariner's Church in Detroit, ringing twenty nine times for each
one of those lost crew members.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
We're going to take the kids who're really excited wild
all right, this is such a moving moment. If you've
seen the Barbie movie, you know that towards the end,
there's a really emotional scene just celebrate women from the
youngest age to the oldest, the moms, the working women,
the ants, the grandma's and of course our Grand Rapid
(07:10):
Symphony does this, but also the Seattle Symphony Barbie the
movie in concert, and it was at the very end,
during this emotional scene, as they're playing along to the
Barbie movie that Seattle youth conductor Elektra not even ten
years old, walked out on stage to conduct the final song.
(07:45):
It was absolutely phenomenal, a standing ovation.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
She did such a wonderful job.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
The TikTok video is full of comments of people going
didn't expect to cry today.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It's really really cool. I'm gonna post it up.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
You can see young elektra fulfilling her own dreams West
Michigan Star doc up.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Well gearab Saturday Night Live alum and comedian Pete Davidson
has got a new role.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
He's about to be a dad.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
That's right, expecting his first child with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt.
Sources say the couple believe they or do this winter.
They just started telling friends and family and the pair
could not be more excited. So the two were first
linked back in March of last year and moved pretty quick.
They were officially living together by May. Elsie has been
(08:44):
giving fans a bit of a sneak peek into their
romantic life on her Instagram. But this is a big,
big deal. So yeah, Pete davidson't going to be a dad.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Down a few tattoos hell.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
The sp Awards went down last night, es PN's big
annual awards show, and some top winners include best Athlete

saw Sunny Lee as best Comeback Athlete. Unfortunately, I'm sorry.
Best Team went to the Philadelphia Eagles. Best MLB Player
Shohei Otani, Best w NBA player Caitlin Clark among a
few of those big names. But it was the moment
(09:38):
that Lee Corso was officially sent into retirement, of course,
announcing that he was going to be ending his long
career during College Game Day, Pat mcabee and his entire
College Game Day crew on stage to give him a
beautiful sendoff, and it was what he had to say
about his wife that was very sweet.
Speaker 10 (09:58):
My goal on TV was your bringer spile to everybody's face.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I hope I have done that.
Speaker 10 (10:07):
My wife Betsy and I have been married for sixty
nine years. Wanted the thanker for loving me and allowing
me to lover for all those years.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Isn't that sweet?
Speaker 6 (10:23):
But talking about that send off, the USC fan went
big coach.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Sps ESPN and the City of La wanted to make
sure you walked out of this place with a little
bit of possess, a little bit of funk, a little
bit of energy. Usc please strike the bend, please.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Cool Man cheerleaders dance troop all of his ESPN cohorts
on stage, bringing him to tears.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
It was a really cool moment.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I mean, Lee Corso an absolute lege.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
To down the head one more time, and finally, I
just thought this was such a feel good story. James
Gunn's new Superman has unexpectedly boosted dog adoptions. So if
you haven't seen the movie yet, Crypto is Superman's loyal
foster dog who really steals the spotlight. Well, Google just
(11:23):
announcing a report that searches for Adopt a Dog near
me have searched more than five hundred percent, Rescue dog
adoption near me up almost two hundred percent, and adopt
a Schnauzer specifically, which is Crypto's braid climbing three hundred percent.
Shelters across the country have reported such positive feedback about this,
(11:47):
And if you were wondering, Crypto was actually inspired by
James's own rescue pup Ozu, making that impact pretty great.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That is really awesome. Man, the fact that Superman has
a dog. How long before people name their children Crypto?
That's what I want to Yeah, probably way too soon.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
All of yours celebscoop at West.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Michigan start up on I'd like to hear Tim Allen's
voice now doing a lot of this pure Michigan stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
For you right now.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Well, on one of my other shows, we do this.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
We call it your pure Michigan Moment because it's just
something that only Michiganders would really understand. So I got
to tell you last night blown Away, I went for
the first time ever, and I feel it shamed even
saying that our Grand Rapid Symphonies picnic pops. Okay, So
they hosted out at the Meadows at Millennium Park now,
which is such a gorgeous space, and it was super
last minute. A friend of mine was like, I've got
(12:34):
an extra ticket. Kids are free with the tickets, So
will and I went out there. It was Patriotic Night,
which was really cool. So they had all of the
incredible songs about America and it was SUSA and it
was Williams.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
It was really great. But we're sitting probably twenty maybe.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
Twenty five minutes into the set and we can see
the clouds coming away.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Everybody was it was dark as that was rolling through.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So it wasn't for us.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
That was what was weird, because depending on where you
were in West Michigan. Some people like, we didn't get
any of this in Rockford last night, so it's it's
kind of creeping in and we're like, but there's sunshine still.
There was some blue sky behind it, and then it
started to sprinkle.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Whatever.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
We live in Michigan, we deal. The drops got bigger
and bigger. You saw people start to kind of look around,
and then the heavens opened, I mean massive rain drops.
Everyone's like trying to cover their stuff. And it was
so wonderful because I got video of the conductor, who,
by the way, had his back turned and in the
course of one song all of this happened. So he
(13:34):
turns around about and everyone is like drenched. He doesn't
know what's going on, so this is really funny.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
We are not going to do.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
So and he just kept going because what do you
do in Michigan when there is weather, You fight through it.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Baby.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
I did not see a single person leave that field.
Everyone had their umbrellas. Everyone had pond shows, a backup
plastic covering for your picnic baskets or wagons.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
The kids.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Not a single person moved from their chair because we
were like, you.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Know what, we needed a good soaking.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
We needed a good soak and we're in a bit
of a drought here in the Minten.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
But boy, oh boy, this music is fantastic.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
I paid my ticket price and there is no way
weather is driving me away from this picnic. Pops, and boy,
I don't know any other state in this country that
deals with it as well as us Michiganders.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Honestly, you have to have thick skin because you know,
you're wearing a T shirt when it's forty five degrees outside.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
So it's literally beneficial for us.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I was blown away.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
I'm looking at the symphony and they're just like, no,
the floutists are continuing the percussion, not missing a baby.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
They had.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
No covering, but it's still open.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Air like it was so fantastic, and I thought, man,
this one I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I'm so proud to be from Michigan.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I just opened up my spin valve. I can't tell
whether this is real, so there you go.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
I was if you if you were at Millennium Park
last night for the picnic Pops, just know we were
all brothers and sisters in arms, baby, because there ain't
no weather that's gonna take us down.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I love it these music and all the gossip in
one place.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Okay, I get it.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Detroit Lyons fans want to see a Super Bowl, But
I think this might be a little cooler. Im and
Ras Saint Brown is getting a Cereal box, one of
three Pro Bowl wide receivers to be featured on a
major serial brand ahead of training camp. And even cooler,
it's going to be featuring his signature handstand celebration. So
(15:53):
amen Ra was just selected to go on the box
of honey Nut Cheerios. He's going to be wearing a
Cereal themed jersey while doing that signature handstand, which of
course we saw in that touchdown win over the Green
Bay Packers. General Mills very excited about this partnership. He
is one of three wide receivers that will find their
(16:13):
faces on Cereal. The Vikings Justin Jefferson as well as
the Bengals Jamar Chase round out those trio of wide receivers.
The Saint Brown honey nut cheerios will be available all
across the country in grocery stores starting next month.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I'd also like to see him in commercials with that beat.
The honey nuts cherios be.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
That flies are huge.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
I love a good honey nut cheerio, I really do.
Former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, laughing off
the wild divorce rumors that have been running rampant the
past few months, the President finally a guest on Michelle's podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I am O.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Folks think we divorce.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
See none of the kinds of things, and I just
miss right.
Speaker 11 (16:59):
So I don't even know this stuff's going on, right,
And then somebody will mention it to me and I'm all, like,
what you're talking about?
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Yeah, there hasn't been one moment in our marriage where
I thought about Quentin, my man. And we've had some
really hard time so we had have had a lot
of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have
become a better person because of the man I'm married to.
Speaker 11 (17:26):
Okay, don't make me cry now, don't let me start
tearing up now.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
So you know this also made me really want to
see more former presidents do interviews like this, like either
side of the Aisle. I think it would be so
fascinating to deep dive how a marriage survives a presidency.
I mean, it's got easily one of the most stressful
jobs on the planet, and I just thought this was
such an interesting look into that.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I loved the idea that you said he was finally
on Michelle's podcast, like he was waiting this whole time,
like She's like, you know what, I don't want you on.
They're ruining my podcast just yet.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It was pretty good.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
The videos out there, A West Michigan Star dot Com
and finally, Harry Potter star Emma Watson really took the
Hogwarts express literally.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
She was caught speeding and now can't drive for six months.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
The former Harry Potter star was caught going thirty eight
in a thirty mile per hour zone in Oxford. This
actually went down last July, but her hearing just came
up yesterday thirty eight in a thirty and she got
banned from driving in the country for six months, as
well as being hit with a fourteen hundred dollars Fine.
(18:44):
Here's the problem, Emma, it happens to the best of us,
she already had nine points on her license.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Oh wow, thanks, So.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Apparently the UK doesn't mess around.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
In fact, they have a twelve point cap where you
automatically lose your life. Since so only six months isn't bad.
But yep, she's going to be needing to catch a
few rides.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
At first, I thought maybe the judge was part of
how Slytherin or something like that. But man's the point
that deserves a baby?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
All right?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
All if you were celeb Scoop at West Michigan Star
dot com, I.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Throwed down on the Thursday, the time for Battle of
the Sexes, Mac and Schimidty hanging out and trying to
get you into our Frederick Meyer Gardens and Sculpture part.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Yes, spend the day, check out the exhibits hit that
children's garden.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Today's question, we've got one hundred men surveyed. Besides a bear,
so it's not a bear.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
What is the most common stuffed animal or as my
kids would say, stuffy. They do not know what stuffed
animal is. We've never used that in our lives.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I guess off the top of my head, I would
say dog. But in my house there's a. We have
an eight foot tall stuffed lemur that my daughter wanted
cedar point. So that's the only one that enters my
thoughts right now because it's literally taking up tons of
space in my.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Home, really more than our twelve Bluey's and bingos?
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Why they sized Costco sized bluey at my house? Six
one six, four five eight one oh five seven caller seven?
One hundred men surveyed besides a bear, what is the
most common stuffed animal?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
A star?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Who's this, Josh? Where are you calling from today? Man?
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Him?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
All right, gott tell me, Josh.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
When one hundred guys were asked to name the most
common stuffed animal besides a bear, what do you think,
the top answer was, Joshua, go for unicorn?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Nicorn.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
You know, specifically, if we were talking about girls stuffed animals,
unicorn would be at the top.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
But it's not on here.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Man.
Speaker 10 (20:36):
I'm sorry, alrighty, thank you, Hi.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Star. Who's this, Susan? Where you calling from today?
Speaker 5 (20:44):
I'm calling from that to the Michigan all right.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
One hundred guys were asked to name the most popular
stuffed animal besides a bear, and Josh was just on.
He guess unicorn, which was not on the list, but
was a good guess. What do you think it is? Oh,
a flamingo, I'd be out of That'd be a cool
stuffed animal, but definitely not one.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Of the most common ones. I'm sorry, Susan, thank you
high star. Who's this? Kim a hunter guy's rest today?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
The most common stuffed animal besides a bear, and so
far I've heard guesses of a of a flamingo that
I just got a second ago as well as I
can't remember, but it wasn't on the list here, so
you got a chance.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
What do you think of this puppy dog? Puppy dog?
That was where my first thoughts went too.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
And you know what, I'm a very smart guy if
I do say myself, because.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Dogs is the top answer, a way to go.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, you're bringing the kiddos over to Frederick Meyer Gardens
and Sculpture Punk.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Good morning to you. It's back and schmitty.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
And you know what happens in life, especially when you
don't you're not experiencing the thing you're dealing with, and
you panic. When you find out something's happening, you just
freak out and then it turns out to be not
that big of a deal. Chis are it happens over
and over again in life? That happened for my wife
not yesterday. We had a guy come over to fix
our oven because it is on the fritz and has
been since like the fourth of July. We've been ovenless,
(22:06):
don't have the stove top or the oven.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Big pain in the buck.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
So anyway, we got this guy coming over and he
gets back there and he works with the gas velve
behind the stove and then he you know, he looks
for the parts he needs and then he leaves. A
couple of minutes later, my wife comes upstairs and you goes,
do you smell gas? And I'm going now, but you know,
my sense of smell is just awful. She's like, I
smell gas, and I'm trying to be like, I don't know,
(22:30):
you know, I'm just like it can't be the guy
turned it off, and then I get closer and I'm like, okay,
I also can smell the gas down for it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Just like, by the way, one of the most terrifying smells.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Right, and you think in your head, like every movie
you've ever seen, like when there's gas coming out of
the thing behind the stove, you're just one little flame
away from your whole house exploding into I think.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I'm falling asleep and dying.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
That's where I go with Yeah, that's that's where you
go with gas too. So my wife is in hysterics.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
So right, so I get back there and I close it,
and I think that I have moved it just a
little bit and that that has done it. I'm like,
I was smelling it, you know, it start to pass.
We're using fans, We're getting all the gas out of
the house, all the stuff, and then we leave for
a little bit, come back smell gas again. So literally,
I'm she is outside of the house calling DT energypically.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Like repair people will say, hey, there may be a
little bit of a lingering, but there's nothing to worry about.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
That's just because I worked on the line.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
So the guy who can't who put it in comes
back to the house, thankfully, he was cool about it.
DT gets there and then we get a science lesson
and how much gas needs to be mixed into the
air with oxygen and order for explosion to occur. The
guy's like, oh, yeah, we could have let this leak
go on for days and days and days. You could
have walked here with wile flamethrower and it had been fine,
(23:44):
Like he's just basically telling us, you guys are so stupid. Yeah,
and don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Science charging for this visit.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
My life was certain that.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
If we so much has flipped on a light switch,
we were about to go kubboom shmitty. Hey.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
But that's how I feel about water heaters.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Water heaters are an absolute phobia of my new guys,
because you read these stories where they they blow up
and take an entire house out. Well, we had to
get our water heater fixed. Godwin came fabulous guys, and
I was like, so should we should we evacuate?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
KaiA is like what I go?
Speaker 6 (24:20):
I don't know, man, I gotta be very honest with you.
Water heaters very much scare me.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
They do look like giant bombs kind of well, and
if you let it.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Go and the pressure gets going, I'm just like, what
do you need me to do here?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Because I don't want either one of us to die.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I put two of these up on Facebook and I
got two fantastic answers.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
First off from Lisa hy two K. Yes.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Everyone was panicking about why two K and what happened. Nothing,
absolutely nothing happened April, though she nailed it.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Murder hornets. There was a hot minute, but everybody was
attle word.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
The same as cicadas.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
The cicada invasion that they promised us for months, Yeah,
is not a thing.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Y'all were good.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
We're safe from cicadas and hornets. What did you initially
panic about? Just freak out over. I want to be
a not big deal. We've got to going on Facebook
and Instagram at West Michigan stock Yo. But give me
that little pushed each day started in the right direction.
Mack and Schmitty on Stato five point seven. It's feeling good.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
So I got to tell you, I'm always in awe
of scientific and medical innovation, and we talk about this
all the time.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That is happening in Grand Rapids.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
So many of our incredible doctors and researchers are finding
breakthrough technology to make people better. And I saw this
story yesterday and my mind was blown. Life changing incisionless
brain surgery. It's now happening at Corewell Health right here
(25:44):
in Grand Rapids. So doctor Lee is performing this for
patients who suffer from tremors, things like Parkinson's disease and
other problems that affect their day to day lives. For instance,
you maybe can't even pick up a fork to eat dinner.
He has revolutionized this surgery to fix that. Now there's
a lot of very smart jargon and medical procedure Doctor
(26:09):
Lee knows all too well, but pretty much in Layman's turns.
For us non medical degree people. The procedure is different
from traditional brain surgery because you can literally put on
this helmet, as he describes it, and they are targeting
parts of the brain to fix these problems. Okay, talk
(26:31):
to it from a patient's perspective. Jane Duson Dang is
one of those whose life completely changed when she started
to get tremors. And now post surgery.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
I can now use my right hand. I can write
my name for the first time in years. I can
actually Yesterday I wrote a letter to my high school girlfriend.
I haven't written a letter in forever.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
It's remarkable.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Remarkable. Doctor Lee calls this ultrasound treatment and as she
tells you what TV, it almost sounded too good to
be true, except it is, and it's right here in
West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
And I just felt like we had to bring that up.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
I mean incisionless surgery. Just said surgery indictory.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
It's grain surgery.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
SCHMIDI.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
This is a cool story up north from America's hat
in Canada. It was back in twenty twelve when lovebirds
Brad Squire's and his girlfriend Anita, they were hanging out
on bell Isle not bell Isle r Bellisle Boy about
bell Island off the coast of Newfoundland in Canada. And
they were long distance staters that got the idea to
write a letter and stuff in a wine bottle that
(27:37):
they had just drank. Kind of cute, they wrote on
the bottle. Today we enjoyed dinner, this bottle of wine
and each other on the edge of the islands. Brad
threw this bad boy into Conception Bay there in Canada
and then just time went out again. This was twenty twelve,
well just earlier this month, on July seventh, according to
the Canada Press, the bottle was found on the other
(28:00):
side of the ocean. It went from North America to
Europe and was found by Kate and Jean Gay on
the Maharis Peninsula, which is in southwest Ireland. Traveled eighteen
hundred miles over the course of those thirteen plus years.
They broke it open with their local Conservatorship Society and
(28:22):
inside read the letter and immediately of course, wanted to
find the authors of it. Less than an hour later,
a local there in Ireland named Martha Ferrell confirmed that
they were not only still together, but were now married
with three kids.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Very sweet.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
So in that time it took the bottle to travel
across the Europe. Their love story continued and now they
have a great family. And the Squires married in twenty sixteen.
And they say, Anita and I both feel like we
have new friends and we're all equally amazed. I guess
we have some people to visit in a trip to
probably plan cute, pretty awesome feeling good comes at you
a couple times today this year. Amazing things with you.
(28:58):
We'll do it again tomorrow six forty five and nine
twenty Here on Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday,
starting at six am on Star one oh five point
