Speaker 1 (00:03):
Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh.
I of it.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Well, good morning, Chitty, Good morning, Welcome into Uh did
have to double check this one Wednesday. It is in
fact Wednesday, if you're still keeping.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Track, but almost Thursday. That's That's what I'm saying, because
if everybody's coming back from maybe a little bit of
an extended weekend, it's a bit of a battle. It's
almost Thursday.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah, there you go. I like the positive thinking at
a rough night last night, Smitty, and it made me
feel super old because I went to bed early because
of heartburn, and then my seapat broke while I was sleeping,
and then I didn't get any sleep, and my wife
kept hitting me and going, you're snoring. You're again on
your side. I'm going, I am already on my side.
(00:51):
And I could just see what seventy eight year old
John was gonna be.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Like, Monday, you're cool. The next day, you're Mac.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Dear god. I know he came out and fast, really.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Good, really good. Wow. Yeah, I'm over here struggling to
get back in a routine. You guys, I want to
talk about this coming up, the post vacation brain fog.
I had two really really mortifyingly embarrassing things happened to
me because of what I'm calling the post vacation brain fog.
So if you're right there with me, listen up at
(01:21):
seven ten, I'm gonna make you feel a whole lot better.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's the Celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well, the sentencing for did He has been set. Sean
Combs will face sentencing for his prostitution conviction in that
federal criminal trial coming up October third. It is the
same day that he originally proposed with his legal team
last week. He's been convicted on those two charges of
transporting did He will remain in custody until that sentencing date.
(01:56):
Excuse me. By that time, he will already have been
locked up for over a year year, so that time
served will go towards his sentence. Now, the mogul faces
a maximum of twenty years a decade for each count,
but unlikely he will get sentenced to that max. Ditty's
defense and prosecutors are divided on the guidelines, so Didty's
attorneys say sentencing guidelines start at twenty one months. Prosecutors
(02:19):
say they start at fifty one months. Obviously, will be
up to the judge. Meanwhile, Didty scoring another victory in
a legal battle because the woman named April Lampros that
sued Didty last year claiming he assaulted her multiple times
in the nineties, has now taken those allegations out of
her lawsuit. New legal documents were just filed. The woman's
(02:42):
claims for battery, assaults, and negligent infliction of emotional distress
have all been dismissed. So naturally, Ditty's legal team took
that moment to say, listen, this significantly narrows the case.
We have said it from the beginning. He is innocent.
That's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Are you just shocked by this sequence, Zipa Bens like
I am. I guess I just thought that there was
such a preponderance of things coming out at every moment.
It felt like for a while there that I think
I even said it did he's going away and he's
gonna be in jail forever. Now I think he's gonna
be out before Christmas. At twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I I'll be interested to see if he's out before
the end of this year. I mean, sentencing guidelines start
in just months and he's already getting credit for over
a year. I think it'll be interesting to see what
the judge decides. Again, that's coming up October third, Doc Antel,
you'll recognize the name the ponytailed big cat handler from
twenty twenties smash hit Tiger King, just got some legal
(03:43):
issues of his own. Hit with a twelve month prison
sentence yesterday after pleading guilty in a crazy case involving
dirty money and illegal wildlife dealings. So he's the owner
of Myrtle Beach Safari. This was definitely something that was
a part of Tiger King, and in twenty twenty one,
Doc actually had his own documentary produced by Netflix. He
(04:04):
did admit to laundering more than half a million dollars
and what he thought was part of a human smuggling operation.
I don't understand why he thought that was better. He
also copped to violating something called the Lacy Act, which
bans illegal wildlife trafficking. So not only is he doing
those twelve months in prison, he has to fork over
fifty five thousand dollars. He has to give up three
(04:26):
of his chimps, nearly two hundred thousand dollars in assets,
and then serve three years of supervised release once he's
out of prison. His co defendants have already been sentenced.
This goes back to a twenty twenty two bust where
he was brought in for running a year's long wildlife
trafficking scheme. It's something that came up in Tiger King,
(04:46):
and you haven't heard this name in a while. Howard Baskin,
husband of Carol Baskin, actually releasing a statement saying Welby
would certainly have preferred a longer sentence. Having him spend
at least some time locked in a cage and exp
and seeing at least some degree of what he has
subjected animals to for over forty years is a major
victory in our opinion, for law enforcement and for animal welfare.
(05:09):
But they are still hoping that more investigation will lead
to the full closure of his operation.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You know, it's been a while since you've probably watched
Tiger King. That's all the way back in twenty twenty land.
So I'll just remind you everyone in that show was
a bad person. Everyone in that show is basic.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
You know how I feel like Howard was just there.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Like who knows he's the mastermind behind it all.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
All right, Finally, if you are as excited about the
Devilwar's Prada to as I am, gear up because they
just added even more to this incredible cast. So we
already know Meryl Streep and Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley
Tucci are all coming back, but get ready for Lucy Lou,
(05:52):
Justin Throaw, Pauline Shallomey, and bj Novak from the office
to join the Cast's pretty This is gonna be so good,
you guys. This is gonna be so good. I cannot wait.
They're hoping for a May first, twenty twenty sixth release,
so fingers crossed. This is gonna live up to the hype.
I love the names that they've had it all. It's
(06:14):
gonna be so so good.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Stanley Tucci's the one that gets me most excited. I'll
be honest.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I mean he was so good in the first one,
hun Chenap. All right, all of your celeb scoop at
West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Let's take a little positivity into this Wednesday morning feeling
good on Stombino five points, yeah, and it's Mack and
Schmidty and Schmitti. In your house, do you have like
a corkboard or maybe some sort of filing cabinet where
it's just a mess of papers that you've collected the.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Junk drawers, got a bunch of en below may or.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
May not be important, but you're not sure if you
should throw it away, so you just keep it and
it winds up staying there for years. That's kind of
what this is, like a little Christmas miracle, if you will.
Back in twenty ten, Wayne Corporal rowing Oak, Virginia, he
lost his wedding ring Schmidty while he was cutting down
a Christmas tree during the holiday season with his family.
Was that Joe's Trees Christmas Tree Farm a new board there,
(07:03):
and they searched for hours for it, including busting out
a metal detector and all that. He actually left a
handwritten note to the staff hoping that maybe somebody would
find it in the spring or even later that season
and maybe give him a call. Long shot, right, well,
Joe's Tree Farm is actually a third generation family farm
that opened in nineteen sixty two, and back in twenty
(07:23):
eighteen it went under new ownership Darren and his wife
Samantha Gilreth bought the farm from his aunt Sue, but
with it they inherited a bunch of notes that were
on a bulletin board over the years that have sort
of been collected. Well. The new owners were recently planting
corn near their pumpkin patch and found the missing wedding
(07:43):
ring fifteen years later, but whose was it? They decided
they would go back and look at that board and
see if there were any clues. They found a guy
from all the way back in twenty ten that they
were said he had lost his ring there, so they
decided to give him a call.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
I could when I saw them that Joe's trees come up.
Of course, I had no idea. And then Darren said,
you know, asked me if you know I described a
ring to him. He said, yep, we found it. Yeah,
it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I mean they found this note again after fifteen years.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
She kept notes of anything that was lost and we
always put them on the bulletin board for a couple
of years, and as beers went on, we'd gather them
and just hoping that one day we'd find a ladle
on ahigshtack.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
And that's exactly what happened, got the wedding ring back
to its rightful owner, and he couldn't be more happy.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
This is a great bunch of people up here. I mean,
we love coming up here getting a tree, and I'm
just thankful for them that they kept that note for
fifteen years and popped to call me.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Fifteen years keeping a little junk lost and found note
like that leads to that wedding ring going back. That's
a Christmas miracle?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Does that count?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Go?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I like it all right. We've heard a lot about
Camp Mystic in Texas with that catastrophic flooding, but like
I said, never think you're too little to help, because
two Texas twins are raising money with a lemonade stand
for Camp Mystic, and with every pore they've understood the
strength of community. Corrigan Camp actually returned from Camp Mystic
(09:09):
just two weeks ago, and her brother Cannon was at
the All Boys Camp, both of which saw catastrophic destruction.
So they decided to do what they know best, and
that's sell lemonade. From their Fort Worth home, the twins
set up a stand not just selling lemonade, but also
tweety cookies. It's named after one of the Camp Mystic
(09:29):
owners Tweety Eastland, the wife of Dick Eastland who passed
away in those floods while trying to save campers, and
it felt very good for them to understand a little
bit can go a long way.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Once as we love Camp Mystic.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
The other one says, all proceeds go to Camp mist
I feel like a lot of people like care for
mistake and how damaged it is, and it made me
feel good because we've done it, and the money to
a camp.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
They should feel real good. And just one day they
raised twenty two hundred dollars for Camp Mystics. So if
you want the story, I'll have it up for yet
West Michigan stun.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I don't know if this is the case. It's kind
of the low key petty I like to report on
a refer an artist Bad Bunny maybe low key airing
out some of his dating red flags, and fans think
this is kind of a subtle dig at now ex
girlfriend Kendall Jenner. So Bad Bunny dropped a huge Instagram
(10:34):
photo dump and fans zeroing in on a spicy snap.
He made sure to kind of zoom in on a
certain hat he specifically wore, saying stop dating people who
don't get your music. It's not naming names, but a
lot of fans feel that this is absolutely a jab
at Kendall, not really vibing with him on what he
(10:55):
says is the most deep part of himself, which is
his music. It has definitely been some that sources A
was a key part of their breakup. They first got
together back in twenty twenty three before they ended, and
then in May of last year looked like sparks were
flying again. They got cozy at the met Gala after
party before fully shutting things down. So I just thought
that was fascinating because I enjoy when people do things
(11:18):
like that.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Maybe she just doesn't speak enough Spanish, Schmidy, I mean,
how are you gonna mean he's but he's so good
he wraps in Spanish primarily, right, I mean probably what
eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I mean, he's like the number one artist in the world,
really is. You could learn it, honey, there's babble. Kevin
Jonas opening up about losing almost all of his money.
Following that very first Jonas brothers split. So all three
brothers appeared on the School of Greatness podcast and they
discussed what they found truly matters in life. Kevin confessed
(11:48):
he made a series of business deals in his younger
years that ultimately led him to losing almost everything. He
said what made that important to him was understanding what
truly matters. I've seen the beginning of the success to
financial success, and I have seen losing almost everything. It
was really shocking to the host who said almost everything,
and Kevin said, yeah, I was down to maybe one
(12:12):
ten percent left of everything I had earned. He did
admit that financial troubles came about a decade ago and
said it was a bad partnership investing in some property
and other things that I was building at the time.
Sadly not the right partnership, if you know what I'm saying,
but said he couldn't share any more details because of
certain things in place. He said, thankfully for life in general,
(12:35):
we had a second shot with my brothers. My family
is fantastic, and despite having to literally crawl out of
financial ruin, I now understand what matters in life.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I got a question for you with the whole reunion,
like you're out on tour right now. There'll be a
co America park.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I believe later they show Elsa canceled the Komerica and
visit over.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Question for you, do you think it's an even split
amongst the brothers? Do you think that this time yet?
Do you think that Kevin's getting as much as Oh
jonas is.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I think the three of them together in this kind
of business dealing, because they talked about that in the
podcast as well. I think they it's yep. I think
it's set, set, set. I think they're too close now
they understand they all have families.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I hope so.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, but yeah, I think that it is probably pretty
split evenly. Finally, I thought this was so fun. If
you are a Wicked fan, you know that John Mshe
is getting praised praised for his incredible movie of Course,
Part two, dropping this November, but now Deadline has officially
reported he is turning his attention to Hot Wheels.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
He's going to.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Direct a live action Hot Wheels movie for Mattel and
Warner Brothers. Hot Wheels being built as an action film
inspired by the best selling toy car line and it'll
showcase some of the world's hottest and sleekest vehicles, but
further plot details are being kept under wraps.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Whatever I mean, Minecraft, Super Mario Brothers.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's an absolute recipe for success.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, I was like, just print a billion dollars now
and take everyone's.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Money, right, all of your celeb scoop at West Michigan
Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I'll start with a five point seven feel good variety
of the eighties till now. And you know, with all
the Fourth of July weekend travel that was going on
in the summer, vacation SCHMANDI, I'd imagine, and there's quite
a few people feeling like you.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Post vacation brain fog. That's what I feel like. Your
routine gets knocked off and then suddenly everything you know
how to do is forgotten. And I'm not talking just
work when you come back to lake. I did five
hundred and seventy three emails, That's what I had when
I got back from a few days off. But I mean,
just in regular life, you got this break, you were
(14:39):
sleeping in, your kids were just fairal because there was
no schedule, and we got back and I just felt
like it was a brick wall it's just you feel
like you have so much to do, so much to
make up for. You want to get all the packing undone,
the laundry put away. And so we were feeling that
the other night, and I'm like, man, I'm toast, I
can't do dinner. Well, let's just go and grab something
(15:01):
easy for us and the kids. And we decided on
grabbing pizza for the kids and then grabbing sandwiches for
Chris and I. So I take Chris's truck and saw it.
I saw it walking out. I saw the flatbed of
his truck wide open with all of our luggage. Did
I close it?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So I traveled, for those of you familiar with the
Rockford area, all the way up and down twice on
ten mile with my suitcase hanging on for dear life.
I'm wondering as I'm thinking back, why people were like
driving up next to me and trying to get my
attention and I did nothing. Just please pass me if
(15:42):
you need.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I'm tired, I don't care, it's fine.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I exactly. I go to get the pizza. I hop
in head to the sandwiches. That's when I go to
back up out of the sandwich parking lot and realized
that my rear camera is facing the ground, and like
the color washes on of my face. I go, oh
my gosh. I run to the back everything literally my
bag like snagged on something, thankfully just waffed in in
(16:08):
the wind. And I'm like, I saw it. I remember
walking out and seeing the trunk part open and just
not doing anything about it. So then I go in
to pick up our sandwiches and I walk into plexiglass.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
What is up with you and walking into doors?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, but I gotta tell you I got this. That's
a bit of a problem with this one. Because I
go to the mobile pickup area. Who covers that anytime
I've been to a restaurant, you always are able to
walk up to the shelving unit you reach and grab
your back. Who puts gorgeously clear, freshly windexed plexiglass over that.
(16:46):
So I walk in, I see it. I go to
reach my hand and like my whole body goes forward, bam,
right into the plexiglass. There is a youth standing next
to me that literally starts, I just lost his mind.
He's like, oh yeah, I think you have to ask
them for it. The entire line of people because of
(17:06):
course there's seven hundred people there. Just turn and look,
and then the woman at the register goes name please,
And I'm just sitting here like I never would have
walked into plexiglass. I would not have left that back
end of the truck down. But there is something about
post vacation brain fog. It's like it's the same as
having a baby. I feel like you're just not with it.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
You feel like the switch was turned off while you
were doing all of those things, and then as soon
as you're done with them, you just want to turn
it off. You want to turn it off.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I feel like I'm still coming off of it. I'm
so embarrassed about that.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Can go on vacation without being afraid of walking into
clear items.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I just like I got home with the food and
Chris was like, how was? I said, I'm not going
anywhere the rest of the night.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Let's see this.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I'm a danger to society.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
The first bad one was you walking into a glass
door with your French horn in high school and shattering
the glass. Right, how many times have you?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Actually one hand? I can count it on one hand.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I agree with you, it is definitely a thing.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
It's so hard, right.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
It is well. And it's amazing that when you take
a week off. I always know when you take a
week off, how something that you've been doing, like we've
been doing for fifteen twenty years. Now, you can come
back and be like which Boughton ago, like where all
of a sudden you forgot how to ride a bike basically?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And I had the worst right before I left. Your
password is expiring? Oh no, I did you remember that
thing you have like a system? Absolutely not. I walked
in here, I walked in here yesterday. I was like,
I guess I'm locked out of everything plexiglass all over again.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So if you're like me, you're not alone. We'll get
through it together. The brain fog is what we'll play.
Too bad.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
It was brain fog and not window fog. You can
been set well on a found point, sheven. It's Mack
and Schmitty, and I feel like what our parents used
to refer to as a quote unquote learning experience. Our
kids are told that it's trauma schmitty. So let's break
it down in this week's.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Confession. You know, I'm not gonna say this is a
learning experience. I think this is something that will land
Sofia in therapy by the time she's in her mid twenties.
We were up in the up as you guys know,
last week and something that we had talked to the
kids about ticks, because they are really really bad up there.
Just to heads up if you've got a trip planned
north Man, oh Man, be so cautious, and we didn't
(19:27):
want to make it scary. We were just telling the kids, listen,
there's these certain kind of bugs and we don't want
them to stay on you. It's okay if they're not scary,
they're not going to hurt you. But if you see
a bug on you at all, please tell mom and
dad right away. That way we can get it off.
There's no problem. Of course, my son's like, why would
have happen? Like you just might not feel very good.
It might make you a little sick.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I could lose arm.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Well, I know, I'm just like lime disease, you know.
So we were trying to keep it just low key.
Let us know, we're gonna check you obviously morning and
night after we're done playing, but if you see something
on you, let mom and dad no. So one of
the nights we had a bunch of family over to
the farm and we're all having a night cap together.
The kids are both upstairs sleeping. They've been in bed
for about an hour. We hear bloody murder scream. I mean,
(20:12):
I thought Sophia had injured herself. That's the kind of
scream we heard. It sounded like a broken bone, Like
did she fall off the bed?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Did she?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
You're running?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
We are sprinting up the stairs and we walk into
her bedroom. This sweet little four year old cherub has
every piece of muscle absolutely melted to the farthest corner
of the wall, and there is a tick walking up
her bedspread. W Oh my gosh. So I walk in,
I'm like, honey, what is it and, being the very calm,
(20:43):
cook collected mom, I am I see and I go,
oh my god. Yet it then she streaks more.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Will wakes up.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
He's like, what's going on. I'm like, it's a tick.
Will goes Sophia, It's gonna kill you. That absolutely sets
her off. So at the end of all of this
she has trauma. I have a little bit of trauma.
And Chris is like, I cannot believe I'm married.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
You you know what, tell Chris about the whole lone
Star tick and how it could make you allergic to
meet He would be afraid, just like Sophia, right, something
that would make him so that he couldn't eat his
meat anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I shudder.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Tedis music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Well, a lot of fans are certainly hoping this could
mean new music from Justin Bieber. The Beebe's dropping a
few pictures on Instagram yesterday of him back in studio
with none other than his ten month old Jack Blues
hit Instagram with these sweet pictures, tagging along for obviously
some kind of studio session with dad. It's really really sweet.
(21:55):
Now here's the deal. It doesn't look like Bieber is
playing any instruments or doing any singing these photos, but
fans were very excited to see it feel like a
family situation. Obviously, there's a lot that's been going down
and rumored between him and Haley and their marriage. You
remember last week he had that post My Forever and
Always so whether there is any kind of trouble in paradise,
(22:17):
this looks like a doting dad moment and Haley popping
into the comments too, So not sure if it means
new music or if this was just a listen we're
doing well so leave us alone kind of thing, hope.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
So, And I mean, there haven't been a ton of
picks with his son, and maybe that's because they're just
uber celebrities and want to keep them off online. But
you would have thought that there would be more dad
doting when your first time dad is Yes. Yeah, he
seemed like he wanted to become a dad for years
and years and years. Haven't really seen him, I guess,
jump into that role yet, So maybe this is the
(22:48):
start of it.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
And this is definitely the most we've seen of Jack.
I mean it's still back of the head, but it's
full body. He's standing up, he's crawling around. It looks
like he is just a really fun day with dad.
Quarterback Joe Burrow says those home burglaries mean he is
no longer buying the batmobile. The latest season of Netflix's
(23:10):
Quarterback officially dropped yesterday, and he explained that after thieves
ransacked his Cincinnati area home back in December of last year,
they stole a bunch of jewelry, and made off with
some other goods. His desire to be an owner of
the Batmobile is no more. Here's a piece where he's
talking to his teammates about it.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I called you up right, did you get yet?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Though I can get it for like a year, but
I've bought it.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I think it'd be crazy. I think I got to
go all in and go for like an.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Expensive Pats the soup and all he had about that
cave bomb broke.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yeah, So here's the thing he was. This was a
week before that break in where he was talking about
the impending purchase and he said, I did not end
up getting the Batmobile. I just had other things to
deal with. At that point, the replica car had been
made available by Wayne Enterprise. I guess that's the thing
that No, that was in real life. That a three
(24:05):
million dollar price tag, and while it was drivable, it
was not street legal. And by the way, he is
still dealing with the investigation into that.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Was there a picture of the car? Is that what?
I Is it like the Dark Knight Batmobile, Like the
Dark Knight bat massive tires in the front. Oh that way,
the Dark Knight was the ultimate Beast Batmobile for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Yeah, cool and finally, hundreds of thousands of kids in
the United States have type one diabetes. Well, now there
is a Barbie who has it too. The latest Barbie,
in a chic blue polka dot crop top, a ruffled
miniskirt and chunky heels, has an extra accessory, an insulin pump,
the brand's first doll with type one diabetes. It was
(24:48):
officially unveiled yesterday. They actually parted with the Breakthrough t
one d that's formerly the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to
design the doll. They worked over two years on this.
It was a very perfectly timed launch. A bunch of
those a part of the organization. We're actually on Capitol
Hill fighting for funding to continue after that September deadline.
(25:11):
In addition to the insulin pump that attaches at Barbie's waist,
the beauty has a continuous glucose monitor on her arm
and a button held on by a strip of heart
shaped Barbie pink tape, and then her cell phone actually
displays an app that shows her glucose ratings.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
You know, I actually always wanted to know what Barbie's
A one C was. I mean, it's really great.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Type one diabetes. Of course, is that you're born with
and it affects so many people and they just think
another point of representation here. It is a really really
cool idea. All of your celebscu but West Michigan Star
dot Com.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I want to throw down schmiddi battle of the sexiest
time here on Stebino Fine Points. Yeah, but it's Mack
and SCHMITTI. Look, cat me get you over to our
Frederick Meyer Gardens in Sculpture Park.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Oh you guys, it's so cool. It's just the best
spot and the kids are gonna love it. We've got
some general admission tickets for you if you get today's
nonumber one answer. We've got one hundred women surveyed. Name
something in the house your husband could go a month
without washing?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I mean, this is such a silly question.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
This is a great opportunity to vent some frustrations. Lady
he answers everything right, like a month? Just a month?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Oh man, I think we can go along a lot
longer than that for many things.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Here the six one, six, four, five, eight one oh
five seven caller seven chance at number one answer, one
hundred Women's survey Name something in the house your husband
could go a month without washing, and you're headed to
the Meyer gardens with Star.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Hi Star, who's this Lisa? Lisa? Where are you calling
from today? All right, Lisa, you gotta tell me what.
One hundred wives were asked to name something in the
house that your husband could go a month without washing.
What was their top answer? Lisa thing, ooh, the sink.
I'll throw that with dishes. That's the number three most
(26:54):
common answer. I'm sorry, thank you, thank you, Hi Star.
Who's them? Emma? Where are you calling from today?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
I'm going nan all.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Right, Emma. One hundred wives were asked to name something
in the house that your husband could go a month
without washing, and Lisa just took a guess and she
said the sink, the dishes, And that was a great guess,
but it was the number three most common answer. So
what do you think it is? Could it be work
(27:25):
like his workboots? I gotta tell you a lot of
guys will clean them religiously when they're brand new, but
after their start to show a little bit after that,
we're not going to clean them probably ever. Again, we
can go a year without cleaning our work boots, but
that's not on there. I'm sorry, Emma, thank you, Hike Starr,
Who's this?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
What's going on is Thomas from Great.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Rapid Hey, Thomas. One hundred wives were asked Thomas to
name something in the house your husband could go a
month without washing, and so far, I heard the sink,
the dishes, which was the number three most common answer,
and I just heard the work boots, which was not
on the list. So, Thomas, what do you think it is? Man?
I'm going to say the betting. You're gonna say the betting.
The sheets, Thomas, you're a married man. How often do
(28:07):
you wash the sheets of your bed? I'm gonna say
maybe every other week. Every other week sounds about right now.
I did say it like that, Thomas, How often do
you specifically wash the sheets of your bed?
Speaker 6 (28:21):
Never?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
All right? Thank you for being honest. I appreciate it.
That's the top answer. Where to go, Thomas often ingrats.
I had a feeling that was gonna be the case.
It was betting, followed by the floor, then dishes, and
the bathroom. I can't believe towels wasn't on there either,
because yeah, guys will definitely go a while without washing towels.
(28:44):
Just give me a new one. I don't I don't
need I don't need to wash it. Just give me
a brand new one. It's fine. Congratulations Thomas here bringing
the crew over to the Frederick Myer Gardens and Sculpture
Park with four tickets.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
I appreciate you, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Absolutely, We're doing it again tomorrow eight fifty team Battle
of the Sections every weekday here on Stuck Starving a
fine points. You have a Macka Smitty with you, and
I would like to talk to you about your coffee order,
specifically in hot months and cold bunch miitty, because I
am a person who drinks hot coffee all the time.
And this weekend I met up with a friend at
(29:19):
Cindy's Donuts and ice Cream or whatever, and we were
grabbing some donuts with the kids and a coffee, and
so he orders his ice coffee and I order my
regular hot coffee, and my buddy Jay's like, dude, it's
like super humid outside. It's ridiculous. He's like, you're gonna
drink that hot coffee? And I'm like, I lived in
Vegas for what a decade, one hundred and fifteen degrees,
(29:43):
I'm drinking hot coffee every morning. Just what I do?
He then informs me that not only does he drink
ice coffee in the summer months, he's in the winter chesh,
my gosh, that is so so much weirder than drinking
hot cof coffee in the middle of this summer. For
whatever reason, I found that to be absolutely insane, while
(30:06):
at the same time, I'm admitting to drinking hot coffee
even when it's over one hundred degrees outside.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
My best friend Katie iced coffee three sixty five.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
How do you do?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
She will go out. We went on a ski trip
and she like brought her coffee to the top of
a hill, ice filled to the rim with ice, a
little bit of cream. Girlfriend will not not drink iced coffee.
It could be negative.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Forty that's what I mean. We get that stuff here
in Michigan. Like, I don't know what about. So it's
it's the middle of January or the end of January.
We're talking about wind chills of negative fifteen and negative
twenty and all this stuff. And there you are asking
for ice in your coffee. Yeah, that's insanity. It's gross.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
I'll drink an iced coffee next to a hot tea
next to it in February.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Speaks I mean, what are you trying to do to your.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I'm an animal. I'm an animal being this. It drives
my husband nuts, yeah, because he never knows what to
get me. He has to call me every time because
he'll be like, what do you feel like? I'll be like,
ice sweet, bome cold through? Okay, what do you want
this time? Hot ch tea latte. I will go back
and forth every other day.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Wow, I'm so boring. It's like a black coffee one creamer. Yeah,
don't touch it other than that, leave it alone.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Sometimes I'll get right up to the speaker at Big
B and not even know should go what do you
feel like? And I'll be like, that's big cold. I
like I said, I'm an Animal's gonna say?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I like that. You describe your coffee drinking habits as animalistic.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
That's pretty It's how I drink it too, Just down
it and bop for hours.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Just an animal. Are you a weirdo that drinks ice
coffee even when it's super cold or a weirdo like
me where you're drinking it hot even in these summer months.
We got to go it on Facebook at West Michigan
Stock Let's do this here to provide to pick me
up every day. It's feeling good right now on Star
What's happened to Shinny? You know.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Leave it to a mom to really understand the importance
of a stuffy. This is not my first time to
talking about this organization, the Lost Stuffy Project. It was
originally started by Randy Jaffi. She's a mom and a
certified child life specialist who realized in the wake of
those palisades and eaten fires in LA how important comfort
(32:17):
items are to a child, especially one going through trauma. Well,
the Lost Stuffy Project is now helping out in the
wake of the Texas floods. Their mission is simple, reuniting
kids with their favorite stuffing. The organization's CEO says, it's
a lot of different ways that that can happen. They
take requests from families. If something is maybe easy to replace,
(32:38):
they can look online. Sometimes they need the help of
the internet. With twenty five thousand followers on their Instagram,
people may have toys that are as old as forty
years old, passed down through generations and lots of times
it's literal boots on the ground digging through debris and
finding stuffed animals posting them to this organization's website so
(32:59):
that they can reunite it with the child that needs it.
This is really incredible stuff, and that group is in
Texas as we speak, looking to reunite those stuffies. But
I just learned this, and I think it's really cool.
Sometimes when a stuffy is found in pretty rough shape,
it goes to something they call stuffy rehab. There is
(33:22):
the Stuffy Doctor. She is some woman here in Michigan,
somewhere here in Michigan that will actually have the animals
shipped right to her and completely redo them, clean them,
re stuff them, make sure that they are in the
best possible condition for that reunification. I'm trying to figure
(33:42):
out who this angel on Earth is. But if you
want to learn more, if you want to be a
part of this effort, simply look up the Lost Stuffy
project on Instagram and you can make a huge difference
for kids that are dealing with the worst moment of
their life. And I think stuffies are such a perfect
way to help do that.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
What an overlooked but impactful thing to be doing. Yeah,
big time, that's really cool, all right, Spiddy, A West
Michigan school bus driver just crowned a world champion. That's right.
Shout out to Betty Nelson, who drives for Dean Transportation
here in West Michigan, and she just placed first in
the conventional bus category at the School Bus Driver International
(34:22):
Safety Competition in Austin, Texas at the end of June. Now,
get this, Betty is the first Michigan driver to win
that category in twenty four years. Yeah, she took a
fifty quick question written test and had to drive through
an obstacle course to beat the other drivers. And when
she heard the news, her and her coworkers and her
(34:42):
husband just blown away.
Speaker 8 (34:44):
Everybody at the table their heads snapped looking at me
and jaws dropped. My husband stood up and started hooting'
and I started bawling.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
That's right. Dean Transportation saying this is a very big
deal and they're very proud. Did not only see her win,
but to show off all the skills that the drivers
are learning here in West Michigan. But it's not just
fun and games that these things. They understand that there
is some pretty precious cargo on board. Of course, as
a school bus driver, and she actually retired from it
back in twenty twenty three, but got back in because
(35:12):
of the huge shortage that everybody's been dealing with. Since then,
SCHMIDI she has been driving special need students for Dean,
primarily with Forest Hills Public Schools too, And she said, really,
spending time with the kids is the main reason that
she does this job.
Speaker 8 (35:29):
You might be driving the next president or the next governor,
or the doctor that cures cancer. Absolutely, that's why you
need to be safe. You need to keep up on
your skills. Sometimes school bus drivers are the first ones
that kids talk to in the morning. You need to
be able to have a tender heart for those kids
and help them when you can. You're watching over them,
(35:53):
You're responsible for them. I mean, I think bus drivers
make a huge impack. I mean, who doesn't remember their
favorite bus driver.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
They certainly do make a huge impact. Betty Nelson doing
it better than any other bus driver throughout the US
and Canada as the champion bus driver from right here
in West Michigan.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
I'll done, Betty.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Pretty cool. Feeling good comes out a couple of times today.
Always want to tell about awesome stuff going on out there.
Let's do it tomorrow six forty five and nine twenty
on Star Mack
Speaker 2 (36:16):
And Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six am
on Star one oh five point seven
Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh.
I of it.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Well, good morning, Chitty, Good morning, Welcome into Uh did
have to double check this one Wednesday. It is in
fact Wednesday, if you're still keeping.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Track, but almost Thursday. That's That's what I'm saying, because
if everybody's coming back from maybe a little bit of
an extended weekend, it's a bit of a battle. It's
almost Thursday.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah, there you go. I like the positive thinking at
a rough night last night, Smitty, and it made me
feel super old because I went to bed early because
of heartburn, and then my seapat broke while I was sleeping,
and then I didn't get any sleep, and my wife
kept hitting me and going, you're snoring. You're again on
your side. I'm going, I am already on my side.
(00:51):
And I could just see what seventy eight year old
John was gonna be.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Like, Monday, you're cool. The next day, you're Mac.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Dear god. I know he came out and fast, really.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Good, really good. Wow. Yeah, I'm over here struggling to
get back in a routine. You guys, I want to
talk about this coming up, the post vacation brain fog.
I had two really really mortifyingly embarrassing things happened to
me because of what I'm calling the post vacation brain fog.
So if you're right there with me, listen up at
(01:21):
seven ten, I'm gonna make you feel a whole lot better.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's the Celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well, the sentencing for did He has been set. Sean
Combs will face sentencing for his prostitution conviction in that
federal criminal trial coming up October third. It is the
same day that he originally proposed with his legal team
last week. He's been convicted on those two charges of
transporting did He will remain in custody until that sentencing date.
(01:56):
Excuse me. By that time, he will already have been
locked up for over a year year, so that time
served will go towards his sentence. Now, the mogul faces
a maximum of twenty years a decade for each count,
but unlikely he will get sentenced to that max. Ditty's
defense and prosecutors are divided on the guidelines, so Didty's
attorneys say sentencing guidelines start at twenty one months. Prosecutors
(02:19):
say they start at fifty one months. Obviously, will be
up to the judge. Meanwhile, Didty scoring another victory in
a legal battle because the woman named April Lampros that
sued Didty last year claiming he assaulted her multiple times
in the nineties, has now taken those allegations out of
her lawsuit. New legal documents were just filed. The woman's
(02:42):
claims for battery, assaults, and negligent infliction of emotional distress
have all been dismissed. So naturally, Ditty's legal team took
that moment to say, listen, this significantly narrows the case.
We have said it from the beginning. He is innocent.
That's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Are you just shocked by this sequence, Zipa Bens like
I am. I guess I just thought that there was
such a preponderance of things coming out at every moment.
It felt like for a while there that I think
I even said it did he's going away and he's
gonna be in jail forever. Now I think he's gonna
be out before Christmas. At twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I I'll be interested to see if he's out before
the end of this year. I mean, sentencing guidelines start
in just months and he's already getting credit for over
a year. I think it'll be interesting to see what
the judge decides. Again, that's coming up October third, Doc Antel,
you'll recognize the name the ponytailed big cat handler from
twenty twenties smash hit Tiger King, just got some legal
(03:43):
issues of his own. Hit with a twelve month prison
sentence yesterday after pleading guilty in a crazy case involving
dirty money and illegal wildlife dealings. So he's the owner
of Myrtle Beach Safari. This was definitely something that was
a part of Tiger King, and in twenty twenty one,
Doc actually had his own documentary produced by Netflix. He
(04:04):
did admit to laundering more than half a million dollars
and what he thought was part of a human smuggling operation.
I don't understand why he thought that was better. He
also copped to violating something called the Lacy Act, which
bans illegal wildlife trafficking. So not only is he doing
those twelve months in prison, he has to fork over
fifty five thousand dollars. He has to give up three
(04:26):
of his chimps, nearly two hundred thousand dollars in assets,
and then serve three years of supervised release once he's
out of prison. His co defendants have already been sentenced.
This goes back to a twenty twenty two bust where
he was brought in for running a year's long wildlife
trafficking scheme. It's something that came up in Tiger King,
(04:46):
and you haven't heard this name in a while. Howard Baskin,
husband of Carol Baskin, actually releasing a statement saying Welby
would certainly have preferred a longer sentence. Having him spend
at least some time locked in a cage and exp
and seeing at least some degree of what he has
subjected animals to for over forty years is a major
victory in our opinion, for law enforcement and for animal welfare.
(05:09):
But they are still hoping that more investigation will lead
to the full closure of his operation.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You know, it's been a while since you've probably watched
Tiger King. That's all the way back in twenty twenty land.
So I'll just remind you everyone in that show was
a bad person. Everyone in that show is basic.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
You know how I feel like Howard was just there.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Like who knows he's the mastermind behind it all.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
All right, Finally, if you are as excited about the
Devilwar's Prada to as I am, gear up because they
just added even more to this incredible cast. So we
already know Meryl Streep and Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley
Tucci are all coming back, but get ready for Lucy Lou,
(05:52):
Justin Throaw, Pauline Shallomey, and bj Novak from the office
to join the Cast's pretty This is gonna be so good,
you guys. This is gonna be so good. I cannot wait.
They're hoping for a May first, twenty twenty sixth release,
so fingers crossed. This is gonna live up to the hype.
I love the names that they've had it all. It's
(06:14):
gonna be so so good.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Stanley Tucci's the one that gets me most excited. I'll
be honest.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I mean he was so good in the first one,
hun Chenap. All right, all of your celeb scoop at
West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Let's take a little positivity into this Wednesday morning feeling
good on Stombino five points, yeah, and it's Mack and
Schmidty and Schmitti. In your house, do you have like
a corkboard or maybe some sort of filing cabinet where
it's just a mess of papers that you've collected the.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Junk drawers, got a bunch of en below may or.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
May not be important, but you're not sure if you
should throw it away, so you just keep it and
it winds up staying there for years. That's kind of
what this is, like a little Christmas miracle, if you will.
Back in twenty ten, Wayne Corporal rowing Oak, Virginia, he
lost his wedding ring Schmidty while he was cutting down
a Christmas tree during the holiday season with his family.
Was that Joe's Trees Christmas Tree Farm a new board there,
(07:03):
and they searched for hours for it, including busting out
a metal detector and all that. He actually left a
handwritten note to the staff hoping that maybe somebody would
find it in the spring or even later that season
and maybe give him a call. Long shot, right, well,
Joe's Tree Farm is actually a third generation family farm
that opened in nineteen sixty two, and back in twenty
(07:23):
eighteen it went under new ownership Darren and his wife
Samantha Gilreth bought the farm from his aunt Sue, but
with it they inherited a bunch of notes that were
on a bulletin board over the years that have sort
of been collected. Well. The new owners were recently planting
corn near their pumpkin patch and found the missing wedding
(07:43):
ring fifteen years later, but whose was it? They decided
they would go back and look at that board and
see if there were any clues. They found a guy
from all the way back in twenty ten that they
were said he had lost his ring there, so they
decided to give him a call.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
I could when I saw them that Joe's trees come up.
Of course, I had no idea. And then Darren said,
you know, asked me if you know I described a
ring to him. He said, yep, we found it. Yeah,
it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I mean they found this note again after fifteen years.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
She kept notes of anything that was lost and we
always put them on the bulletin board for a couple
of years, and as beers went on, we'd gather them
and just hoping that one day we'd find a ladle
on ahigshtack.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
And that's exactly what happened, got the wedding ring back
to its rightful owner, and he couldn't be more happy.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
This is a great bunch of people up here. I mean,
we love coming up here getting a tree, and I'm
just thankful for them that they kept that note for
fifteen years and popped to call me.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Fifteen years keeping a little junk lost and found note
like that leads to that wedding ring going back. That's
a Christmas miracle?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Does that count?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Go?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I like it all right. We've heard a lot about
Camp Mystic in Texas with that catastrophic flooding, but like
I said, never think you're too little to help, because
two Texas twins are raising money with a lemonade stand
for Camp Mystic, and with every pore they've understood the
strength of community. Corrigan Camp actually returned from Camp Mystic
(09:09):
just two weeks ago, and her brother Cannon was at
the All Boys Camp, both of which saw catastrophic destruction.
So they decided to do what they know best, and
that's sell lemonade. From their Fort Worth home, the twins
set up a stand not just selling lemonade, but also
tweety cookies. It's named after one of the Camp Mystic
(09:29):
owners Tweety Eastland, the wife of Dick Eastland who passed
away in those floods while trying to save campers, and
it felt very good for them to understand a little
bit can go a long way.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Once as we love Camp Mystic.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
The other one says, all proceeds go to Camp mist
I feel like a lot of people like care for
mistake and how damaged it is, and it made me
feel good because we've done it, and the money to
a camp.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
They should feel real good. And just one day they
raised twenty two hundred dollars for Camp Mystics. So if
you want the story, I'll have it up for yet
West Michigan stun.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I don't know if this is the case. It's kind
of the low key petty I like to report on
a refer an artist Bad Bunny maybe low key airing
out some of his dating red flags, and fans think
this is kind of a subtle dig at now ex
girlfriend Kendall Jenner. So Bad Bunny dropped a huge Instagram
(10:34):
photo dump and fans zeroing in on a spicy snap.
He made sure to kind of zoom in on a
certain hat he specifically wore, saying stop dating people who
don't get your music. It's not naming names, but a
lot of fans feel that this is absolutely a jab
at Kendall, not really vibing with him on what he
(10:55):
says is the most deep part of himself, which is
his music. It has definitely been some that sources A
was a key part of their breakup. They first got
together back in twenty twenty three before they ended, and
then in May of last year looked like sparks were
flying again. They got cozy at the met Gala after
party before fully shutting things down. So I just thought
that was fascinating because I enjoy when people do things
(11:18):
like that.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Maybe she just doesn't speak enough Spanish, Schmidy, I mean,
how are you gonna mean he's but he's so good
he wraps in Spanish primarily, right, I mean probably what
eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I mean, he's like the number one artist in the world,
really is. You could learn it, honey, there's babble. Kevin
Jonas opening up about losing almost all of his money.
Following that very first Jonas brothers split. So all three
brothers appeared on the School of Greatness podcast and they
discussed what they found truly matters in life. Kevin confessed
(11:48):
he made a series of business deals in his younger
years that ultimately led him to losing almost everything. He
said what made that important to him was understanding what
truly matters. I've seen the beginning of the success to
financial success, and I have seen losing almost everything. It
was really shocking to the host who said almost everything,
and Kevin said, yeah, I was down to maybe one
(12:12):
ten percent left of everything I had earned. He did
admit that financial troubles came about a decade ago and
said it was a bad partnership investing in some property
and other things that I was building at the time.
Sadly not the right partnership, if you know what I'm saying,
but said he couldn't share any more details because of
certain things in place. He said, thankfully for life in general,
(12:35):
we had a second shot with my brothers. My family
is fantastic, and despite having to literally crawl out of
financial ruin, I now understand what matters in life.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I got a question for you with the whole reunion,
like you're out on tour right now. There'll be a
co America park.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I believe later they show Elsa canceled the Komerica and
visit over.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Question for you, do you think it's an even split
amongst the brothers? Do you think that this time yet?
Do you think that Kevin's getting as much as Oh
jonas is.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I think the three of them together in this kind
of business dealing, because they talked about that in the
podcast as well. I think they it's yep. I think
it's set, set, set. I think they're too close now
they understand they all have families.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I hope so.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, but yeah, I think that it is probably pretty
split evenly. Finally, I thought this was so fun. If
you are a Wicked fan, you know that John Mshe
is getting praised praised for his incredible movie of Course,
Part two, dropping this November, but now Deadline has officially
reported he is turning his attention to Hot Wheels.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
He's going to.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Direct a live action Hot Wheels movie for Mattel and
Warner Brothers. Hot Wheels being built as an action film
inspired by the best selling toy car line and it'll
showcase some of the world's hottest and sleekest vehicles, but
further plot details are being kept under wraps.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Whatever I mean, Minecraft, Super Mario Brothers.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's an absolute recipe for success.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, I was like, just print a billion dollars now
and take everyone's.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Money, right, all of your celeb scoop at West Michigan
Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I'll start with a five point seven feel good variety
of the eighties till now. And you know, with all
the Fourth of July weekend travel that was going on
in the summer, vacation SCHMANDI, I'd imagine, and there's quite
a few people feeling like you.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Post vacation brain fog. That's what I feel like. Your
routine gets knocked off and then suddenly everything you know
how to do is forgotten. And I'm not talking just
work when you come back to lake. I did five
hundred and seventy three emails, That's what I had when
I got back from a few days off. But I mean,
just in regular life, you got this break, you were
(14:39):
sleeping in, your kids were just fairal because there was
no schedule, and we got back and I just felt
like it was a brick wall it's just you feel
like you have so much to do, so much to
make up for. You want to get all the packing undone,
the laundry put away. And so we were feeling that
the other night, and I'm like, man, I'm toast, I
can't do dinner. Well, let's just go and grab something
(15:01):
easy for us and the kids. And we decided on
grabbing pizza for the kids and then grabbing sandwiches for
Chris and I. So I take Chris's truck and saw it.
I saw it walking out. I saw the flatbed of
his truck wide open with all of our luggage. Did
I close it?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So I traveled, for those of you familiar with the
Rockford area, all the way up and down twice on
ten mile with my suitcase hanging on for dear life.
I'm wondering as I'm thinking back, why people were like
driving up next to me and trying to get my
attention and I did nothing. Just please pass me if
(15:42):
you need.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I'm tired, I don't care, it's fine.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I exactly. I go to get the pizza. I hop
in head to the sandwiches. That's when I go to
back up out of the sandwich parking lot and realized
that my rear camera is facing the ground, and like
the color washes on of my face. I go, oh
my gosh. I run to the back everything literally my
bag like snagged on something, thankfully just waffed in in
(16:08):
the wind. And I'm like, I saw it. I remember
walking out and seeing the trunk part open and just
not doing anything about it. So then I go in
to pick up our sandwiches and I walk into plexiglass.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
What is up with you and walking into doors?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, but I gotta tell you I got this. That's
a bit of a problem with this one. Because I
go to the mobile pickup area. Who covers that anytime
I've been to a restaurant, you always are able to
walk up to the shelving unit you reach and grab
your back. Who puts gorgeously clear, freshly windexed plexiglass over that.
(16:46):
So I walk in, I see it. I go to
reach my hand and like my whole body goes forward, bam,
right into the plexiglass. There is a youth standing next
to me that literally starts, I just lost his mind.
He's like, oh yeah, I think you have to ask
them for it. The entire line of people because of
(17:06):
course there's seven hundred people there. Just turn and look,
and then the woman at the register goes name please,
And I'm just sitting here like I never would have
walked into plexiglass. I would not have left that back
end of the truck down. But there is something about
post vacation brain fog. It's like it's the same as
having a baby. I feel like you're just not with it.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
You feel like the switch was turned off while you
were doing all of those things, and then as soon
as you're done with them, you just want to turn
it off. You want to turn it off.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I feel like I'm still coming off of it. I'm
so embarrassed about that.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Can go on vacation without being afraid of walking into
clear items.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I just like I got home with the food and
Chris was like, how was? I said, I'm not going
anywhere the rest of the night.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Let's see this.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I'm a danger to society.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
The first bad one was you walking into a glass
door with your French horn in high school and shattering
the glass. Right, how many times have you?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Actually one hand? I can count it on one hand.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I agree with you, it is definitely a thing.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
It's so hard, right.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
It is well. And it's amazing that when you take
a week off. I always know when you take a
week off, how something that you've been doing, like we've
been doing for fifteen twenty years. Now, you can come
back and be like which Boughton ago, like where all
of a sudden you forgot how to ride a bike basically?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And I had the worst right before I left. Your
password is expiring? Oh no, I did you remember that
thing you have like a system? Absolutely not. I walked
in here, I walked in here yesterday. I was like,
I guess I'm locked out of everything plexiglass all over again.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So if you're like me, you're not alone. We'll get
through it together. The brain fog is what we'll play.
Too bad.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
It was brain fog and not window fog. You can
been set well on a found point, sheven. It's Mack
and Schmitty, and I feel like what our parents used
to refer to as a quote unquote learning experience. Our
kids are told that it's trauma schmitty. So let's break
it down in this week's.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Confession. You know, I'm not gonna say this is a
learning experience. I think this is something that will land
Sofia in therapy by the time she's in her mid twenties.
We were up in the up as you guys know,
last week and something that we had talked to the
kids about ticks, because they are really really bad up there.
Just to heads up if you've got a trip planned
north Man, oh Man, be so cautious, and we didn't
(19:27):
want to make it scary. We were just telling the kids, listen,
there's these certain kind of bugs and we don't want
them to stay on you. It's okay if they're not scary,
they're not going to hurt you. But if you see
a bug on you at all, please tell mom and
dad right away. That way we can get it off.
There's no problem. Of course, my son's like, why would
have happen? Like you just might not feel very good.
It might make you a little sick.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I could lose arm.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Well, I know, I'm just like lime disease, you know.
So we were trying to keep it just low key.
Let us know, we're gonna check you obviously morning and
night after we're done playing, but if you see something
on you, let mom and dad no. So one of
the nights we had a bunch of family over to
the farm and we're all having a night cap together.
The kids are both upstairs sleeping. They've been in bed
for about an hour. We hear bloody murder scream. I mean,
(20:12):
I thought Sophia had injured herself. That's the kind of
scream we heard. It sounded like a broken bone, Like
did she fall off the bed?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Did she?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
You're running?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
We are sprinting up the stairs and we walk into
her bedroom. This sweet little four year old cherub has
every piece of muscle absolutely melted to the farthest corner
of the wall, and there is a tick walking up
her bedspread. W Oh my gosh. So I walk in,
I'm like, honey, what is it and, being the very calm,
(20:43):
cook collected mom, I am I see and I go,
oh my god. Yet it then she streaks more.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Will wakes up.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
He's like, what's going on. I'm like, it's a tick.
Will goes Sophia, It's gonna kill you. That absolutely sets
her off. So at the end of all of this
she has trauma. I have a little bit of trauma.
And Chris is like, I cannot believe I'm married.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
You you know what, tell Chris about the whole lone
Star tick and how it could make you allergic to
meet He would be afraid, just like Sophia, right, something
that would make him so that he couldn't eat his
meat anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I shudder.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Tedis music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Well, a lot of fans are certainly hoping this could
mean new music from Justin Bieber. The Beebe's dropping a
few pictures on Instagram yesterday of him back in studio
with none other than his ten month old Jack Blues
hit Instagram with these sweet pictures, tagging along for obviously
some kind of studio session with dad. It's really really sweet.
(21:55):
Now here's the deal. It doesn't look like Bieber is
playing any instruments or doing any singing these photos, but
fans were very excited to see it feel like a
family situation. Obviously, there's a lot that's been going down
and rumored between him and Haley and their marriage. You
remember last week he had that post My Forever and
Always so whether there is any kind of trouble in paradise,
(22:17):
this looks like a doting dad moment and Haley popping
into the comments too, So not sure if it means
new music or if this was just a listen we're
doing well so leave us alone kind of thing, hope.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
So, And I mean, there haven't been a ton of
picks with his son, and maybe that's because they're just
uber celebrities and want to keep them off online. But
you would have thought that there would be more dad
doting when your first time dad is Yes. Yeah, he
seemed like he wanted to become a dad for years
and years and years. Haven't really seen him, I guess,
jump into that role yet, So maybe this is the
(22:48):
start of it.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
And this is definitely the most we've seen of Jack.
I mean it's still back of the head, but it's
full body. He's standing up, he's crawling around. It looks
like he is just a really fun day with dad.
Quarterback Joe Burrow says those home burglaries mean he is
no longer buying the batmobile. The latest season of Netflix's
(23:10):
Quarterback officially dropped yesterday, and he explained that after thieves
ransacked his Cincinnati area home back in December of last year,
they stole a bunch of jewelry, and made off with
some other goods. His desire to be an owner of
the Batmobile is no more. Here's a piece where he's
talking to his teammates about it.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I called you up right, did you get yet?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Though I can get it for like a year, but
I've bought it.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I think it'd be crazy. I think I got to
go all in and go for like an.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Expensive Pats the soup and all he had about that
cave bomb broke.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yeah, So here's the thing he was. This was a
week before that break in where he was talking about
the impending purchase and he said, I did not end
up getting the Batmobile. I just had other things to
deal with. At that point, the replica car had been
made available by Wayne Enterprise. I guess that's the thing
that No, that was in real life. That a three
(24:05):
million dollar price tag, and while it was drivable, it
was not street legal. And by the way, he is
still dealing with the investigation into that.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Was there a picture of the car? Is that what?
I Is it like the Dark Knight Batmobile, Like the
Dark Knight bat massive tires in the front. Oh that way,
the Dark Knight was the ultimate Beast Batmobile for sure.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Yeah, cool and finally, hundreds of thousands of kids in
the United States have type one diabetes. Well, now there
is a Barbie who has it too. The latest Barbie,
in a chic blue polka dot crop top, a ruffled
miniskirt and chunky heels, has an extra accessory, an insulin pump,
the brand's first doll with type one diabetes. It was
(24:48):
officially unveiled yesterday. They actually parted with the Breakthrough t
one d that's formerly the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to
design the doll. They worked over two years on this.
It was a very perfectly timed launch. A bunch of
those a part of the organization. We're actually on Capitol
Hill fighting for funding to continue after that September deadline.
(25:11):
In addition to the insulin pump that attaches at Barbie's waist,
the beauty has a continuous glucose monitor on her arm
and a button held on by a strip of heart
shaped Barbie pink tape, and then her cell phone actually
displays an app that shows her glucose ratings.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
You know, I actually always wanted to know what Barbie's
A one C was. I mean, it's really great.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Type one diabetes. Of course, is that you're born with
and it affects so many people and they just think
another point of representation here. It is a really really
cool idea. All of your celebscu but West Michigan Star
dot Com.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I want to throw down schmiddi battle of the sexiest
time here on Stebino Fine Points. Yeah, but it's Mack
and SCHMITTI. Look, cat me get you over to our
Frederick Meyer Gardens in Sculpture Park.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Oh you guys, it's so cool. It's just the best
spot and the kids are gonna love it. We've got
some general admission tickets for you if you get today's
nonumber one answer. We've got one hundred women surveyed. Name
something in the house your husband could go a month
without washing?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I mean, this is such a silly question.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
This is a great opportunity to vent some frustrations. Lady
he answers everything right, like a month? Just a month?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Oh man, I think we can go along a lot
longer than that for many things.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Here the six one, six, four, five, eight one oh
five seven caller seven chance at number one answer, one
hundred Women's survey Name something in the house your husband
could go a month without washing, and you're headed to
the Meyer gardens with Star.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Hi Star, who's this Lisa? Lisa? Where are you calling
from today? All right, Lisa, you gotta tell me what.
One hundred wives were asked to name something in the
house that your husband could go a month without washing.
What was their top answer? Lisa thing, ooh, the sink.
I'll throw that with dishes. That's the number three most
(26:54):
common answer. I'm sorry, thank you, thank you, Hi Star.
Who's them? Emma? Where are you calling from today?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
I'm going nan all.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Right, Emma. One hundred wives were asked to name something
in the house that your husband could go a month
without washing, and Lisa just took a guess and she
said the sink, the dishes, And that was a great guess,
but it was the number three most common answer. So
what do you think it is? Could it be work
(27:25):
like his workboots? I gotta tell you a lot of
guys will clean them religiously when they're brand new, but
after their start to show a little bit after that,
we're not going to clean them probably ever. Again, we
can go a year without cleaning our work boots, but
that's not on there. I'm sorry, Emma, thank you, Hike Starr,
Who's this?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
What's going on is Thomas from Great.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Rapid Hey, Thomas. One hundred wives were asked Thomas to
name something in the house your husband could go a
month without washing, and so far, I heard the sink,
the dishes, which was the number three most common answer,
and I just heard the work boots, which was not
on the list. So, Thomas, what do you think it is? Man?
I'm going to say the betting. You're gonna say the betting.
The sheets, Thomas, you're a married man. How often do
(28:07):
you wash the sheets of your bed? I'm gonna say
maybe every other week. Every other week sounds about right now.
I did say it like that, Thomas, How often do
you specifically wash the sheets of your bed?
Speaker 6 (28:21):
Never?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
All right? Thank you for being honest. I appreciate it.
That's the top answer. Where to go, Thomas often ingrats.
I had a feeling that was gonna be the case.
It was betting, followed by the floor, then dishes, and
the bathroom. I can't believe towels wasn't on there either,
because yeah, guys will definitely go a while without washing towels.
(28:44):
Just give me a new one. I don't I don't
need I don't need to wash it. Just give me
a brand new one. It's fine. Congratulations Thomas here bringing
the crew over to the Frederick Myer Gardens and Sculpture
Park with four tickets.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
I appreciate you, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Absolutely, We're doing it again tomorrow eight fifty team Battle
of the Sections every weekday here on Stuck Starving a
fine points. You have a Macka Smitty with you, and
I would like to talk to you about your coffee order,
specifically in hot months and cold bunch miitty, because I
am a person who drinks hot coffee all the time.
And this weekend I met up with a friend at
(29:19):
Cindy's Donuts and ice Cream or whatever, and we were
grabbing some donuts with the kids and a coffee, and
so he orders his ice coffee and I order my
regular hot coffee, and my buddy Jay's like, dude, it's
like super humid outside. It's ridiculous. He's like, you're gonna
drink that hot coffee? And I'm like, I lived in
Vegas for what a decade, one hundred and fifteen degrees,
(29:43):
I'm drinking hot coffee every morning. Just what I do?
He then informs me that not only does he drink
ice coffee in the summer months, he's in the winter chesh,
my gosh, that is so so much weirder than drinking
hot cof coffee in the middle of this summer. For
whatever reason, I found that to be absolutely insane, while
(30:06):
at the same time, I'm admitting to drinking hot coffee
even when it's over one hundred degrees outside.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
My best friend Katie iced coffee three sixty five.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
How do you do?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
She will go out. We went on a ski trip
and she like brought her coffee to the top of
a hill, ice filled to the rim with ice, a
little bit of cream. Girlfriend will not not drink iced coffee.
It could be negative.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Forty that's what I mean. We get that stuff here
in Michigan. Like, I don't know what about. So it's
it's the middle of January or the end of January.
We're talking about wind chills of negative fifteen and negative
twenty and all this stuff. And there you are asking
for ice in your coffee. Yeah, that's insanity. It's gross.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
I'll drink an iced coffee next to a hot tea
next to it in February.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Speaks I mean, what are you trying to do to your.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I'm an animal. I'm an animal being this. It drives
my husband nuts, yeah, because he never knows what to
get me. He has to call me every time because
he'll be like, what do you feel like? I'll be like,
ice sweet, bome cold through? Okay, what do you want
this time? Hot ch tea latte. I will go back
and forth every other day.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Wow, I'm so boring. It's like a black coffee one creamer. Yeah,
don't touch it other than that, leave it alone.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Sometimes I'll get right up to the speaker at Big
B and not even know should go what do you
feel like? And I'll be like, that's big cold. I
like I said, I'm an Animal's gonna say?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I like that. You describe your coffee drinking habits as animalistic.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
That's pretty It's how I drink it too, Just down
it and bop for hours.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Just an animal. Are you a weirdo that drinks ice
coffee even when it's super cold or a weirdo like
me where you're drinking it hot even in these summer months.
We got to go it on Facebook at West Michigan
Stock Let's do this here to provide to pick me
up every day. It's feeling good right now on Star
What's happened to Shinny? You know.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Leave it to a mom to really understand the importance
of a stuffy. This is not my first time to
talking about this organization, the Lost Stuffy Project. It was
originally started by Randy Jaffi. She's a mom and a
certified child life specialist who realized in the wake of
those palisades and eaten fires in LA how important comfort
(32:17):
items are to a child, especially one going through trauma. Well,
the Lost Stuffy Project is now helping out in the
wake of the Texas floods. Their mission is simple, reuniting
kids with their favorite stuffing. The organization's CEO says, it's
a lot of different ways that that can happen. They
take requests from families. If something is maybe easy to replace,
(32:38):
they can look online. Sometimes they need the help of
the internet. With twenty five thousand followers on their Instagram,
people may have toys that are as old as forty
years old, passed down through generations and lots of times
it's literal boots on the ground digging through debris and
finding stuffed animals posting them to this organization's website so
(32:59):
that they can reunite it with the child that needs it.
This is really incredible stuff, and that group is in
Texas as we speak, looking to reunite those stuffies. But
I just learned this, and I think it's really cool.
Sometimes when a stuffy is found in pretty rough shape,
it goes to something they call stuffy rehab. There is
(33:22):
the Stuffy Doctor. She is some woman here in Michigan,
somewhere here in Michigan that will actually have the animals
shipped right to her and completely redo them, clean them,
re stuff them, make sure that they are in the
best possible condition for that reunification. I'm trying to figure
(33:42):
out who this angel on Earth is. But if you
want to learn more, if you want to be a
part of this effort, simply look up the Lost Stuffy
project on Instagram and you can make a huge difference
for kids that are dealing with the worst moment of
their life. And I think stuffies are such a perfect
way to help do that.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
What an overlooked but impactful thing to be doing. Yeah,
big time, that's really cool, all right, Spiddy, A West
Michigan school bus driver just crowned a world champion. That's right.
Shout out to Betty Nelson, who drives for Dean Transportation
here in West Michigan, and she just placed first in
the conventional bus category at the School Bus Driver International
(34:22):
Safety Competition in Austin, Texas at the end of June. Now,
get this, Betty is the first Michigan driver to win
that category in twenty four years. Yeah, she took a
fifty quick question written test and had to drive through
an obstacle course to beat the other drivers. And when
she heard the news, her and her coworkers and her
(34:42):
husband just blown away.
Speaker 8 (34:44):
Everybody at the table their heads snapped looking at me
and jaws dropped. My husband stood up and started hooting'
and I started bawling.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
That's right. Dean Transportation saying this is a very big
deal and they're very proud. Did not only see her win,
but to show off all the skills that the drivers
are learning here in West Michigan. But it's not just
fun and games that these things. They understand that there
is some pretty precious cargo on board. Of course, as
a school bus driver, and she actually retired from it
back in twenty twenty three, but got back in because
(35:12):
of the huge shortage that everybody's been dealing with. Since then,
SCHMIDI she has been driving special need students for Dean,
primarily with Forest Hills Public Schools too, And she said, really,
spending time with the kids is the main reason that
she does this job.
Speaker 8 (35:29):
You might be driving the next president or the next governor,
or the doctor that cures cancer. Absolutely, that's why you
need to be safe. You need to keep up on
your skills. Sometimes school bus drivers are the first ones
that kids talk to in the morning. You need to
be able to have a tender heart for those kids
and help them when you can. You're watching over them,
(35:53):
You're responsible for them. I mean, I think bus drivers
make a huge impack. I mean, who doesn't remember their
favorite bus driver.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
They certainly do make a huge impact. Betty Nelson doing
it better than any other bus driver throughout the US
and Canada as the champion bus driver from right here
in West Michigan.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
I'll done, Betty.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Pretty cool. Feeling good comes out a couple of times today.
Always want to tell about awesome stuff going on out there.
Let's do it tomorrow six forty five and nine twenty
on Star Mack
Speaker 2 (36:16):
And Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six am
on Star one oh five point seven

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
