Speaker 1 (00:02):
Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I of it.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the Morning on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Good morning, Switty, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Welcome into your Wednesday, and thanks for being with us
as it is at least.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Going to be a bit cooler for us today.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah, mid sixties out there right now, which I'm not
going to bother anybody. Mid to upper sixties right now,
and hi's today into the low to mid eighties. But
it does come to cool down, smiddy with some rain
likely as well.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
We'll take it.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
You're ready for actually up in Rockford, you guys use
all the rain you can.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
Get, right, dude, it hasn't. I feel like it has
not rained there in seventeen years.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
It's so strange, how I mean, we talk about it
all the time, how it can just just miss the
same spot over and over and over.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
And that's Michigan, baby.
Speaker 6 (00:47):
I guess so movies, music and all the gossip in
one place.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
It's the celebrities scoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Well, this could be very interesting. President Trump is reportedly
seriously giving thought to a full presidential pardon of now
convicted bad boy records founder Sean Ditty Combs. Nearly two
months after the President publicly entertained the notion of a
Ditty pardon, an administration source is saying that, in fact,
(01:20):
the President is seriously considering it. This source says additionally,
several associates of Ditty have been pitching the White House
other insiders even confirming the topic has really leveled up
from just another story about this to an actionable event
for the president. This will be very interesting. Of course,
(01:41):
Combs is still in jail awaiting sentencing, which is scheduled
for October third. His legal team did appeal to a
judge to give him some kind of at home security
so he did not have to continue to remain in jail,
but that was turned down.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I like your chances of getting out of jail during
this administration, if you've been on TV at some point
in time, I mean between the chrizlies getting out of jail,
maybe Diddy now too.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
I think I think this would anger a lot of people.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
I think I would anger a ton of people.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I think it's absolutely insane that we're even considering this
being reality right now.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
All right, Brook Hogan, who remains in very deep sadness
over the loss of her legendary dad, Hulk Hogan has
done something very interesting removed herself entirely from his massive estate.
Sources say that it was actually back in twenty twenty three,
Brook asked to be removed from Hulk's will. According to
(02:37):
people close to the reality start she does not trust
a single person around him. She did not want to
get caught up with these people and certainly did not
want to have to wage any financial battle when he
finally passed. The sources say all Brook ever really wanted
to do was protect her dad from the people she
felt were taking full advantage of him. But after years
(02:58):
of disagreeing with her dad the matter, she simply reached
out to his financial manager and had herself fully removed
from the will. She has issued a statement in part saying,
my dad no longer in pain, finally at peace. But
I thought that was really interesting. This family has had
so many issues the last few years, which is unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, it's a wild bride and it's an interesting because
I don't know if I've even ever heard of somebody
proactively going out of their way to remove themselves.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Don't want any part of this will, and finally in sink.
Star Lance Bass says bad medical news actually turned out
to be a good thing. He is talking about his
recent diagnosis with type one diabetes. He said it was
turning into a blessing in disguise. Here's why it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Was actually a blessing to develop diabetes later in age,
because it does make me super healthy because we saw.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Yeah, so I feel great and better than I ever have.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
But hopefully I can encourage people out there to take
better care of themself.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
I like that. Kids don't eat all that sugar. It
will definitely come and haunt you in the end, which
he says is kind of part of his now mission
is making sure kids, especially understand some of the choices
you make early in life can come back and have
some repercussions later.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I mean, I guess that's a glass half full way
of looking at a disease.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
The land's fast, So happy dude. All right, all of
your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Well then daily pick me up.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
We could all use feeling good on star win o
Fim points Seph, good morning, it's you. It's Mack and
Schmidty and you know what, there is a fourteen year
old from West Michigan who's primed to be the next
NASCAR superstar. Not to mention, you know, probably just getting
excited for another year of high school. Talking about fourteen
year old Tyler Lupton, who's quite the young race car driver.
(04:45):
He has actually been racing for the Van Dorn Super
Late Model car series this year over at Berlin Raceway,
and yeah, fourteen years old, but still exceeding expectations. So
far this year he had posted a pair of second place.
This is a third, two fifths and a seventh. He's
currently sitting in seconds in the season point standings after
(05:08):
Saturday booking his very first win fourteen years old, getting
a big win in the Super Late Model feature at
Berlin this past Saturday. Obviously really special to be getting
your first win. Even more special to do it when
you can't even legally drive yet, is he told wood TVA.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I follow amazing. You know, I've had law practice slaps
in every car I've driven, every track I've I've ran out,
and to finally get my first one in the late model,
it means a lot to me. And it's crazy, I
mean to be even not even on the roads. Got
probably about two more years till I get my driver's license.
So just just insane to even and be in this position.
(05:48):
So I'm just very thankful, and I've had a lot
of fun this season racing a super late Model.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I still think it's just nuts that, like, you can't
you don't even have to have your driver's license and
you can go in those amazing races.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, grown a dolt.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
There was a bunch of them at the auto show.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
And go dominate. It's just wild, all right.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
This is a very touching moment, as fans are pointing out,
this is how a coach should react to players. It
was a big announcement yesterday out of Colorado as running
back Charlie Offerdahl has announced he's retiring and it's due
to concussions. He's just gotten very fearful for his health,
announcing to the team that he loves his players so much,
(06:26):
but he's just got to change his path.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
Will we come back this year? You know just how
serious this last concussion was and how many I've had
leading up to it. You know, it's pretty scary for
me and my family. But I will be I will
be hanging it up, and obviously coach Bryan and I
love you, coach. You know when you first came in,
you believed in me when nobody else did.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
It's a pretty powerful moment, very special between the two,
and a lot of people would think, wow, this is
a bit stressful with the season starting in just a
few short weeks. But co Prime where Dion Sanders had
this to.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Say, Charlie never had a bad day.
Speaker 9 (07:05):
We always came to work, Katie, to play and praise
from wonderfully. Love your parents to life, you know that.
And I want to be doing a little brother. I
want to see little brothers, you know, one day and
all that. But I love you Mary that, I appreciate you. Yea, sir,
We're gonna take it. We take you start.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
I love that. We love you, brother, and we're gonna
take care of you. The video is really really beautiful,
and again so many of these sports parents are like,
this is it. This is a coach. I'll post it
up for you at West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Com, movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
All right. I saw these pictures surface yesterday and I
honestly went no way this cannot be real. Katie Perry
and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau our latest couple. Yeah,
everyone is talking about it this morning after a picture
surface of the two of them on what seems to
be a very cute see date in Montreal. So here's
(08:08):
the deal. They were spotted first yesterday afternoon going on
a really cute stroll through one of the parks in
the city. Katie had her pop, Justin was all smiles.
Remember he's recently divorced from his wife, so he is
back on the market, and then they had a to
les VI alone. I'm pretty sure is how you say it.
Oh yeah, yeah, So Danny Smiles is his name. He's
(08:30):
the co owner and co executive chep that personally served
Katie Intrudeaux. Now, he says, these are just two friends
enjoying a meal and eye witnesses that were there did
not see any kind of PDA, any lovey dovey kind
of stuff, And when they exited the restaurant late last night,
(08:50):
we didn't see any kind of hand holding. But also
people are like, why would they be hanging out? This
is definitely two people that are falling in love. I know,
I've looked at the pictures. I was trying to think,
is they're a business part of this? Have they ever
hung out? Are they just friends? But Katy Perry and
former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, it was.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Quite the rebound for both of them, right.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Like very interesting. I was actually trying to check in
he split from his wife. It's been like two years, okay,
but they were married for almost twenty So listen, rebound.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I don't know, do you think that kind of okay?
So you know how sometimes couples sort of look similar
a little bit. Do you feel like they look like
a couple already? Because I looked at them, I'm like, yeah,
that's totally brunette thing.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Maybe's the brunette thing. He looks very very content. I
will say that. Put the pictures and some of the
videos up for you at West Michigan Star dot com.
This is very interesting. A moment yesterday where Travis Kelcey
actually had to break up a pair of his teammates
getting into the middle of a wild fight that went
down during training camp. This was a cheaps o lineman
(09:55):
and a defensive end following play a run play during
their workout in the city all of a sudden, it
was just wild. The two exchanged several huge punches of
(10:16):
footage that we have came from a reporter who is
unseen at training camp and said, these two were really
going at it, but then all of a sudden, you
see Travis literally leap into the middle of them, try
to calm both of them down. Eventually the fighting stopped.
Both dudes were kind of taken off field by the coach.
But it's pretty insane.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Football's almost back, That's what I hear right now at
Tensions are runner hi guys are fighting for jobs literally
and figure to.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Fla all right?
Speaker 5 (10:39):
And are they or aren't they? I had this story
last week. Now, with the new Naked Gun sequel dropping
in theaters Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, there have been
a lot of rumors that these two, who met on
the set for the first time, have now fallen in love.
They didn't do much to squash those rumors. Appearing on
(11:01):
The Today Show yesterday with Preig Melvin, are.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
You too an idol? Craig Craig the question.
Speaker 10 (11:13):
We met, I have never met, mama before I heard
we met on set. We discovered we had a lovely
budding chemistry, a connections two actors. I'm just like, oh,
this is nice. Let's not mold this, let's just let
it breathe.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
And that's what we did. So that's what we're doing
right now.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
We're watching the beginning of the breathing of a budding relationship. Okay, yeah,
if you ask some of their friends quote unquote and sources,
these two are very very into each other, and judging
from the comments online, people are very excited about this,
they think they make a.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Very cute couple. I can't hear that guy's voice up
close to a microphone like he just was and not
hear the speech from taking I'm just waiting for Like,
I don't know who you are, I don't know what
you want, but I will find we're different.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
I think of Captain Nice from the Lego movie. I
cannot unhear him from the Lego movie. Every time I
hear Liam Neeson. By the way, the Naked Gun drops
in theaters August first, all right, your Celip Scoob at
West Michigan.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Star Doc Good morning to you.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
It's Mack and Schmedde feel Good Variety of the eighties
till now and Schvetti you haven't done it in seven years.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
You see, seven plus years. I have not been alone, alone,
alone since Will was born. And for the next six days,
I am without kids, I am without a husband. I
am what I like to call bashine it. And I
(12:43):
got to tell you, I have absolutely no idea what
to do. This is so wild, and I think part
of it is I didn't really get a chance to plan.
This was super last minute originally. So my husband is
headed up to the up because he's got a massive
his biggest fishing tournament of the of the year is
this upcoming weekend, and it starts I think like today
or tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
We brought the kids.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Well here's the thing, so originally he wasn't supposed to.
I was going to actually take a couple of days
and then they were gonna have a sleepover at Grandma
and Grandpa's house. And then on like Saturday, my mother
in law called and she's like, you know what, I'd
love to go up spend some time at the farm.
Why don't I take the kids and then you've got
a place to stay. They can see you at night
because this fishing tournament is I mean, he'll leave at
(13:26):
probably three or four in the morning and then he
gets home at midnight that bour days in a round.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
That's why I asked, because I know how serious your
husband takes that stuff.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
So my mother in law was like, no, I'm not
going to go up. I want to get probably a
last visit in for the summer. The kids love it,
and so all of a sudden, as of Monday, I'm
going the kids are leaving tomorrow, Chris is leaving tomorrow.
What do I do? And I got to tell you, guys,
I'm not good at it. I got home from the
(13:54):
shows yesterday and I almost felt anxious because there wasn't
something that was needed. I didn't have to figure out
dinner or take the kiss to the library or have
the friends over. I was just I had no idea
what to do yesterday. I did not sleep well last
night because it felt so odd. And I think a
lot of parents have this problem when you finally get
(14:15):
a little alone time and it doesn't mean you don't
like your spouse or you don't adore your kids, but
it's really nice, and it happens so infrequently we have
no clue how to handle it or what actually to do.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
It's so trippy.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Schmitty because every time, you know, you spend a lot
of time with your wife and your kids, your family
members and stuff, and then they just disappear during the
day like they're coming back. You know that they'll be back.
You're like, oh my gosh, finally some space, some quiet,
but you're.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Still in preparation. Yeah, but you're still like, dinner's gonna
get ready.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
All that feel great.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
But then they leave on an extended trip and you've
got like multiple days of that, and within a few minutes,
I'm like, it's just so quiet here.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
See, I don't know. This is my first time, my children,
my first time. So I thought you guys could help
me out. No kids, no spouse, totally alone for a
few days. What is the first thing you're doing?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Off?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
And a lot of people brought up napping on our Facebook.
A lot of see, I can't do close off. We've
got about seventeen kids that at any given moment are
gonna come over to my front door and ask if
my kids can play. So I think the last thing
they need to see is a late thirties woman and
what happens to your body at that point. A lot
of people said relaxing Alison reading my books, snuggled up
(15:30):
on the dog, on the couch with our dog. That's
a great point. I don't get a lot of chapters
read when the kids are home. A lot of people
talking about cleaning their house. And here's what I love you, guys,
because Chris said this to my doorable husband. He goes,
Oh my lord, the house is gonna stay clean. It's
gonna stay clean because the kids aren't here. I can
clean and have probably six solid days of clean. By far,
(15:55):
my favorite has to be Brandon. I'm going to the
bathroom with the door open, just us smallest pleasures of life.
So give us a call. Six one six, four five eight,
one oh five seven. I am officially a single woman
for the next six days. My husband is up north,
my kids are gone. What am I doing with all
of my free time?
Speaker 8 (16:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
If I'd call it officially single, that would make me
uncomfortable as your husband.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
That's what we're going with, guys. Let me know how's
this single lady going without the spouse and kids. You
can hit us up with our iHeartRadio app as well.
Just hit that talk back.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Button starting a five point seven. It's Mack and Schmidty.
All parents do, and that's why every Wednesday we give
you our all.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Right, Smitty, I mentioned to you, I believe it was last.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Week that my son went fishing and then wound up
catching himself and going to urgent Care after he put
a hook into his bag. I have all them there, yeah,
you know, so after that, it's important for Dad to
take you out for a nice safety lesson, and.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
So that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
A couple of days after that fun trip to Urgent
Care to have that removed, my son wanted to go
fishing again, and so we went down to his little
fishing spot, which is this inlet that's surrounded by trees
and you know, like wetlands almost. It just comes off
of the side of the forne Apple River. Pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
But I go out there and.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I'm like, you know, it's just important to make sure
that you don't have too much string at the end
of your line, to make sure that you're casting the
right way and letting go at the right time so
that you don't put yourself for others at risk. And
I'm giving this very matter of fact speech as I'm
gearing up to go ahead and cast this line out there.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Hey, no, Shelby guy, how it's done.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
You're going to cast the line?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Oh boy, yeah, that went straight up into the tree
directly behind.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
Used to could not yank it out of the tree.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Did to cut your line, had to cut the line,
lose the lure, only for my son to look right
at me and said, well, hy, at least we don't
have to go to urgent care.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Dye was music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
I don't know. You tell me when you see these videos,
but it certainly looks like singer Katy Perry and former
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Maybe A pair videos and
pictures surfaced yesterday of the two looking I would say
somewhat cozy as they bopped around Montreal. It started with
a casual stroll through a park yesterday afternoon, Katie's dog
(18:32):
in tow. Then we saw them at a very swinky
dinner and drinks last night, and then finally wrapping things
up with a visit to an area terrace overlooking the
city with a little nightcap. This was like an all
day hangout. Now here's the deal. We keep being told
that they are simply friends. But of course, Katie just
(18:55):
recently ending her engagement and relationship with Orlando Bloom and
it's been a couple of years since the former Prime
minister called things off with his wife of eighteen years,
so they're both on the market. And if you have
some sources to believe just In Trudeau and Katie Perry
are dating, it's wild. I didn't see it coming.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I guess my question to you is do you feel
like this is an arranged dating thing?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Like?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
How does this thing get started? Did they find each
other on Reya? Isn't that like the celebrity Is that
like the celebrity dating app?
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Yeah, it's just Swarpe left. But if you missed it
last hour, the chef who actually served them at the
restaurant confirmed no. PDA didn't even see any handholding, so
he thinks they're just friends as well. But when you
see these videos, I'm not walking around with my man
friends like this. West Michigan Star dot Com Hannah Montana fans,
you're gonna love this about to get the best of
(19:50):
both worlds, I had to Miley Cyrus teasing something really
special for the show's twentieth anniversary if you can believe it.
March twenty fourth of next year, well mark twenty years
since the hit Disney Channel show. On TikTok Radio, she
talked about how excited she is for whatever this project is.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
It's about to be the twenty year anniversary in March.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
I mean, that's I.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Know, trust me.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
I'm like, I want to design something really really special
for it, because it really was the beginning of all
of this that now sits here today. Really without Hannah,
there really wouldn't be this kind of this meat that yeah,
so crazy to think too that I started as a
character that I thought was going to be impossible to shed.
And now that's something that when I walk into a space,
(20:38):
it's looked at as a sense of kind of like
nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood. But
I've now been as kind of integrated into everyone's life
as the character itself.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
So you know what, I really love and I just
think shows her maturity now embracing a character like this.
I think for a while, she was very open about
the fact that she was trying to get rid of
that Hannah Montana persona and be like guys, I'm growing up.
I'm an adult now, and to see her so excited
about this makes me really happy.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I think a lot of us do that, that we
look back on things that we went through as a
kid as something that grows in our hearts overtime. Right Like,
you might not have loved it in the moment. You
might all have had a time where you hated it,
but later on in life kind of look back at
it fondly.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
All right, And finally, Kim Kardashian has released a very
interesting new product for her Skins Shape wear line, and
the Internet can't quite figure it out. So the item
is a head wrap called the Ultimate Face. It's billed
as the brand's first ever face innovation, made with signature
(21:38):
sculpting fabric and infused with collagen yarns for ultrasoft jaw support.
It kind of looks like either getting a chin, a
chin job, or just having wisdom teeth surgery, and you're
all wrapped up from like head to neck. It's the
Ultimate Face that has fans going, what someone wrote, is
(22:00):
this April fools? Another? What in the Hannibal elector is
this fight?
Speaker 9 (22:06):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (22:06):
Yeah? My favorite? Ooh, this state of the world is
in shambles, and now the new Hannibal elector Nylon face
wrap just dropped. Everything will be fine, guys, it's it's something.
You gotta see it. West Michigan Star dot Com with
all your scoop leave it.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
To Kim time too.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Battle Battle of the Sexes look going to get you
in for a combo of two big Disney shows talking
about descendants and zombies shwitting.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Yeah, this is one of those experience things with the family.
It's gonna be really cool. So Sunday show, We're going
to send you to Detroit at Little Seizures Arena. That's
how big this is. With Battle of the Sexes, you
score a four pack. Looking for today's number one answer,
one hundred men surveyed, name a place where employees may
talk down to you.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
When I saw this question, all I could think about
was Julia Roberts and saying, big mistake and the beauty
salon right now.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Those restaurants that are hired to be mean to you.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Oh yeah, I want to go to one of those.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
That sounds a friend of mine got upset.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Very on West Michigan. Like, that's what I'll say, all right?
Six one, six, four, five eight, one oh five seven
collar seven Today's number one answer. One hundred men surveyed
name a place where employees may talk down to you.
You're headed to the World's Collide Tour. Let's start went
out five point seven.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Good morning star.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Who's this, Susan?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Where are you calling from today? All right, Susan, you
gotta tell me. A hundred guys were asked to tell
me a place where the employees are sometimes talking down
to you.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
My first thought was like, the Secretary of State or DMB.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
I'm not sure if that's right.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
But oh, the Secretary of State or df F. It's like,
you know where the Devil's armpit? Truly is Susan? Secretary
of State DMV is actually the top answer. I would
aggust that in a million years I was thinking. I
was thinking like the doctor's office. But those people went
(24:06):
to school for like eight years just to be able
to talk down to you, So I feel like that's justified.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
So I go with it.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Well done, and I'm sorry to everybody who works at
the Secretary of State. All right, you're going to check
out descendants and zombies the World Collide to where over
at Little Caesar's Arena.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Congrats thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
My son wanted to go to this, so it worked
out perfect.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
It works out perfect.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Well done, Mom, and we'll do it again tomorrow and
I have a chance to win Battle of the Sex
is eight fifteen right here on Star. We all like
to shop online for the most part, some of us
more than others, with packages coming into your house over
and over again throughout the week. But how often are
they leaving your house to be returned? Because I want
(24:52):
to know what you think your personal return rate is, shmitty,
because I think it's different for everybody. It depends on
how much online shopping you do, of course, and then
whether or not you buy things with the intention of
saying like, well, if I don't like it, I'll.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Just return it.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
So I think for women it's going to be different
because I will look at a dress and buy it
in four sizes, and then I mean every woman does,
and then because you're not sure how it's going to fit,
and then you're like, oh, you know, for places like
Amazon and those things, it's so easy to return.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I can't decide whether I think that's smarter or just
more excessive than what my wife used to do that
I would call her out for which was just to
order the one that she thought would fit, order it,
decide whether she liked it within a matter of thirty seconds,
and send it back. And that's why I brought this up,
because I felt like her rate of return at one
point in time was like fifty percent, and I was like,
(25:41):
look at all the boxes, all the packages. I'm like,
that's I'm like, it's not good. I didn't you know,
there's nothing to respond with. I have literally Schmidty sent
back every single item I have ordered for my last
ten Amazon purchases, and I am a massive hypocrit.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Apparently you got to rethink what you're buying.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I think I went years without returning a single Amazon purchase, and.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
What's getting you?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Random stuff? All sorts of random things. I had a projector.
The screen came with a little tear, so I had
to send that back. Then I set up the projectors
and I don't know if this one's for me, so
I sent that one back. Then the screen was being
sent back to me, but I no longer had the
need for a projector, so I had to send the
replacement screen back again. I got a shirt for Christmas
(26:25):
in July that not only a showed up late, so
I wasn't gonna be able to use it. But it's
kind of a very specific thing. So I sent that back,
just random little things over and over again, and I'm
disappointed in myself. I feel like it's so wasteful and
that when we look back on this era of life
and time, we'll be like, oh man, that was ridiculous, weird.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
I think it's weirder that you had four returns on
the same product that gets that's a little embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The lady who sends back three of the four dresses
that you want, that's part of.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
The Amazon return Have you ever seen it's like too short,
too long? It's like every woman is doing that one
hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Well, these are pro I do not think every woman
is buying four dresses of all different sides.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
I would love four five eight, one oh five seven.
I guarantee the ladies on my side. No, you see
something that you love, You're like, I don't know, could
it be a small maybe a large? Hut is a
fit in my bust versus men don't have these problems.
We do, which is why I promise you women are
buying multiple sizes and then simply taking back the one
that does not fit.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
So I looked online at the wiser species.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I saw that Amazon said the average return rate is
about five to fifteen percent. Are you higher or lower
than that?
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Smitty lower? I'm probably one one percent over returns.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
Not seventy five percent of the stuff you buy.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
I haven't bought something. I have bought something on Amazon
in ten months.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Wow, I feel like Hi. My name is Smitty and
I have not made an Amazon purchase in den much.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
And my name is Mac. I returned the same projector
five times. All right, ladies, hand me up.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, let's bring something positive to your day. Feeling good
right now? It's starting on five point seven?
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Is maagage manny boy.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
It's just a brilliant idea Rescue Funds for Furry Friends
has a new litter up for adoption. But how do
you grab attention in this fast paced world? It's easy.
Name it after language and words that Jen. Anyone else
doesn't understand. That's right. According to a social post, they go,
(28:18):
so please welcome our Jen Alpha litter. Because nothing screams
twenty twenty five like a group of pups named after
TikTok vocabulary we only half understand. Erica Shelby is the
social media manager and she teamed up with Intake coordinator
Dana Holden to get creative when naming the rescues, and
they realized they both have preteen and teenage sons and
(28:41):
they don't understand a word they're saying when they get together.
So check this out up for adoption. We have Skibbety,
we have Sigma, we have Yet, we have Cap, we
have Ohio, and we have Rez. And in a really
really sweet update that post went up just a day
(29:02):
and a half ago, two of the pups already have
their forever homes and the others have paperwork in This
is really great, Shelby tells the Today Show anyone with
a twelve year old will love this.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Do you think they'll keep the names? Do you think
that they have Do you think that puppy Yat is
going to be Puppy g forever?
Speaker 7 (29:20):
Y Yacht?
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Oh God, I think it's Yat, and I think you
have to say it that way. But I really apologize
for being extra cringe to any of the kids listening
right now, because I am now in my thirties and
officially uncool.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I don't apologize for it. They should apologize to us.
I feel like, all right, sminny, this is just super cute.
If you need a little pick me up today and
you're gonna go waste some time watching videos on your phone, anyway,
get over to West Michigan Star dot com because I'll
put this up. We're an eight year old boy waiting
to find out about his new sibling coming his way.
Everybody who's had kids after already having children knows what
(29:54):
a special moment this is where you get to share
this news with your kids. And for Kayla Semirski from Florida,
she was getting ready to tell her son all about this,
but it was a little extra special.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Listen to this, Katie, he's been waiting to see this picture.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Oh my gosh, wait, so what just the baby?
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Do you see? A?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (30:18):
And B that's the baby?
Speaker 9 (30:21):
What do you think that means? O?
Speaker 6 (30:28):
What does that mean?
Speaker 8 (30:30):
What do you do you see too?
Speaker 4 (30:32):
We're her twins were running twins.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
Do you see him?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
There's two?
Speaker 9 (30:38):
Now you're gonna be really tortured.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
It is.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
The most cute thing is the big brother's eyes just
start to well up and he starts crying with so
much happiness and excitement.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
I mean it will death roly put a.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Smile, nice feel like I'd always here to do just that, though.
I want to bring you your positivity each and every morning.
We do it at six forty five and again at
nine tomorrow. Right here on, starting to five point seven
Speaker 3 (31:02):
