Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one of
five point seven.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Good morning, good morning, Welcome into your Thursday and after
a day of on and off again rain, I hope
you guys are ready for some sunshine because we got
a lot of it coming day, I hope. So it
should be pretty beautiful times getting up into the mid
upper seventies around Wolfs to West Michigan today, which should
make nice for some of the kids. I know some
kids go till tomorrow. I think you said your son
(00:34):
goes till tomorrow. Last day of school for my kids today?
Nice last day of school.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Are you feeling about it? Because it's up to you
starting tomorrow? Well, you know there, it is.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Up to me. I really just have to just pass
that buck right off to my wife. She's the one
who has to work at home while the kids are there,
and that's just a whole nother degree of difficulty between
balancing the job and your kids asking for a snack
every thirty seconds.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yep, yep. Movies, news and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's the celebrities group on Star one oh five point.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Seven well, I completely miss this. Did you know?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
King of Queen star Leah Remedy and Jennifer Lopez are
best friends?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
So.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Leah is in a new interview.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
With US Weekly talking about how the two have really
been leaning on each other over the last year while
they were both simultaneously going through their divorces. However, the
relationship has changed a bit. She said she got back
in touch with j Lo after the two both filed
for divorce within days of one another, Remedy telling the
magazine the two often texted each other loving messages of support,
(01:37):
a very sweet reconnection between two friends many thought were
on the outs. Apparently they've been really really close for
a very long time. No real reason for why they
ended up kind of drifting apart distance schedules, but Remedy
says the relationship isn't necessarily talking to j Loo every
single day like she used to, but the two still
(02:00):
care very very deeply about the friendships. Leah says, when
you grow out of the person that you once were,
it doesn't mean you're at odds with that person. I
have so many friends that I don't talk to every
single day, but it's just that I'm in a different place,
so are they, and they are still deep deep love
between us. I had no idea. You've never seen these
two together, but now I see all these pictures and
(02:21):
they're super super tight.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Ha is it. There've been friends for a long time.
I wonder if it goes back to the scientology base
or all of it afterwards, being interested in scientist. No,
I don't think so. I've never heard that.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Former First Lady Michelle Obama said that she is respecting
her daughter's decisions to change a little something in adulthood.
They have been dropping their very famous last name, especially
for professional projects. Malia specifically actually dropped her last name.
The first time we noticed that was when one of
(02:53):
her short films, The Heart, aired at the Sundance Film
Festival late last year, and it was simply Malia Anne.
Her famous mom was on the Sibling Revelry iHeart.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Podcast trying to distinguish yourself.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
I mean, it is very important for my kids to
feel like they've earned what they are getting in the world.
And they don't want people to assume that they don't
work hard, that they're just naturally just handed things. They're
very sensitive to that. They want to be their own people.
You know Malia who started in film, I mean her
(03:28):
first project, she took off her last name and we
were like, they're still going to know it's you, Malia,
you know, but we respected the fact that, you know,
she's trying to make her way.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Yeah, so she gets it.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
But I thought it was also very sweet that Michelle
mentioned the two girls. The older they get, the more
they really embrace the parenting principles that they learned from
her and Baraque.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's got to be a good feeling, because I mean,
that's a large shadow to have cast over you for
your entire life with your mom and dads. To break
out on your own, is I gotta feel important and cool?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
And finally.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles has some very strong feelings
about Kylie Jenner's fashion brand. She shared a mirror selfie
on her Instagram wearing one of the Kai Blazers It's
an oversized faux leather coat, and was less than enthused.
She literally looks like a toddler wearing a size extra large.
(04:24):
Biles writes, Smiths, Kylie Jenner, this is a chrime. There
is no way this is an extra extra small slash small.
The sleeves literally come like a foot past the tips
of her fingers. The bottom of the jacket hits below
the knee. She then photoshopped Gigi Hadid the supermodel in
(04:45):
an oversized sweatshirt and said, this is literally me right now,
come on, all tongue and teeth. Tongue in cheek, but
it's very, very cute.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I'd like to see Simone Biles come for lots of
people in fashion that should be her next.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I think they should dress her.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
She's four foot eight. There are some of.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Us that are so little out there.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I've got those picks for you with your scoop at
West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
He's stelling on fine points. Yeah, good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmid. I always bringing something to make
your day a little bit better. And this is really cool.
Ken the Cracker he's lived here in West Michigan for
nearly his entire life, and after graduating high school back
in nineteen sixty six, he had listed to the army.
He actually took his brother's spot in the Vietnam War,
serving in the one hundred and first Airborne Division during Vietnam.
(05:29):
Then he moved back to Michigan. He's been living in
Wyoming for the last thirty five years, and this veteran's
roof had seen better days. It was almost seventy years old,
and the Cracker took pride and working on it himself
when it started getting significant leaks. I mean, seventy year
old roof. But then in twenty twenty three, he suffered
(05:50):
a heart condition required quadruple bypass surgery that landed him
in an intensive rehab. He had lose thirty pounds and
getting back up on that roof was going to be
more of a daunting task, and that's what his family
decided to denominate him through the Beacons of Hope Uplifting
Veterans program to maybe get a new roof, and he
the Cracker, was one of sixteen winners across the entire
(06:14):
country that was chosen by Beacon who provided the materials,
while Premiere Roofing right here in Granville helped complete the
project by donating all the manpower. And for Ken, this
was just a massive weight off his shoulders.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
Took the weight on the world off because that was
a big concern for me. Every year I had to
get up there and do inspections at least.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
And at Premiere Roofing, they definitely did not miss out
on the opportunity to help a veteran when the opportunity arose.
As they were telling Fox seventeen, it.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Was a pretty quick yes because we took one look
at the roof and we just knew that this was
it was a bad roof, and they mister the Cracker
really needed a new roof, so it was a good opportunity.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
For us to help it out and get back.
Speaker 10 (06:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
That was Premiere Exteriors president Josh Bell right there, and
now brand new roof up on there. The seventy six
year old veteran stay in active and is just so
pleased with what he's got. Well, fighting a new house.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
I kind of ran away. That's amazing to me. It's incredible.
That's fantastic. I mean, ain't worth.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And it's West Michigan. Just giving back to our veterans.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Well, thank you for your service. And Josh and his
team at Premiere are really good dudes. All right, this
is the moment you've been working for, right Cole Young
called up to the big leagues the Seattle Mariners, calling
up the second basement from their TRIAA team the Tacoma Reniers.
This went down a few days ago, but the video
of his phone call to mom has gone viral. Imagine
(07:46):
how proud you'd feel after all those years of games
and rain or shine practices, summer camps, and your little
boy is headed to the MLB.
Speaker 10 (07:57):
My mom's in shocked.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Hello, love, I just got caught up.
Speaker 10 (08:16):
Yeah. I don't know what to feel right now.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
This is incredible.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
Thank you, thank.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
You, I love you too.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
As a bonus to this feeling good, he made that
MLB debut with a pretty sweet win over the Twins.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
The pitch swinging a ground ball, bouncing softly to the
first base ball.
Speaker 11 (08:48):
All that time.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's a walk up for the Nurners.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Pull Young in his make sure League debut. Okay, showered
with seeds and hand the water bucket is shallow right field.
He has won in for the Mariners in the bottom
of the eleventh.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Name very cool moments. I've got the videos for you
at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Dot com, TDS music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Well, the eight year on again, off again relationship for
actress Dakota Johnson and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is done
and sourcessy. This time it is for good, the actress
and singer splitting up, according to People magazine, which cites
multiple sourcesing, this really feels like the final time. They
have been on to get off again since twenty seventeen,
(09:40):
but actually got engaged a few years back now. Breakup
rumors started swirling last year, but a referend coda denied those,
and then in August the two were together in India,
where Coldplay was touring. She had become a huge part
of Chris's life. In a very recent interview, she even
talked about spending time with his kids at I love
those kids like my life depends on it. She had
(10:04):
the seal of approval from Chris's ex, Gwyneth Paltrow, who
has consistently talked about how much she adores Johnson over
the years. Their reps are not saying anything official this morning,
but they are done.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
There's two bags. I actually kind of like them together.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
He just couldn't get over all those fifty shades of
gray scenes. It just counts stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
The company that controls Eminem's early catalog is suing Mark
Zuckerberg's Meta. Eight mile Style is the publishing company filing
a lawsuit against Meta platforms. This is, of course, the
tech company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. They're accusing
the tech giant of copyright infringement and are seeking over
(10:47):
one hundred and nine million dollars in damages. Now. Eight
mile Style alleges Meta violated the copyright of two hundred
and forty three songs from its catalog, and they're claiming
Meta did so through the unauthorized storage, reproduction, and exploitation
of those more than two hundred songs on various platforms.
(11:08):
The claim cites a lot of different features, including original
audio and reels remixes, as a means to allow and
encourage users to steal eight mile Styles music that does
include Eminem songs as well. They are requesting a jury trial.
This could be very interesting when you talk about the
future of social media and what kinds of things you're
(11:30):
allowed to use on there.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Well, you are one hundred percent right, because this is
really Pandora's box of like, oh, if Eminem get some money,
guess what, there's a lot of rest of us who
are going to be owed some cash.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
So to break it down in the math, they're requesting
one hundred and fifty grand for each one of the.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Two hundred and forty three songs, So that is insane.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I think that sounds reasonable. I mean, if it's heard
thousands and thousands of times.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just marked Princess Lilabette's fourth
birthday and it's one of the most personal family videos
we have seen in a while, and a never before
seen clip. A very pregnant Meghan is seen getting through
labor the same way a lot of us do. Let
me see the dance she wris four years ago today.
(12:16):
This also happened both of our children were a week
past their due dates. So when spicy food, all that
walking and acupuncture did not work, there was only one
thing left. The best part of this video, Prince Harry dancing. Guys,
got some moves posted up for you with your scoop
at West Michigan Start.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
It's back at Shitty hanging out and yeah, my kid's
last day of school today. Yours are finishing up this week,
others are already on schmitty and you brought up something
that I think would be perfect to have.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
A summer emergency kit. I can't take credit for this.
It's actually an Instagram post I saw yesterday and it's
so perfect. A fellow mom said last year, I figured
it out. We need a summer emergency kit. I keep
it in my car. It's a giant beach bag that
contains bathing suits for everybody, towels, sun black bug spray, snacks, hats,
(13:04):
and water. So now at the drop of a hat,
we can engage in all sorts of spontaneous summer fun
because we're totally prepared. No more.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Oh, I wish we could, but and I thought, ah,
that's like a great mom move.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
It really is a good mom move. I'm sorry. I
feel bad as I hear you saying this because in
my head as you said this, I've all been thinking
like this is hilarious, like emergency break glass, summer emergency,
gotta get it, And in mine I was only thinking
water balloons. So I'm like, if I have water balloons
with me, I could have fun anywhere I'm at And
it makes no.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Difference from your kids, because I'll tell you right now,
I'm gonna break the glass the second I hear I'm
bored for the seventh time, and there comes the summer
emergency kit.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That mom though was responsible, like, oh, we've got sunscreen,
We've got the bathing suits and the bug spray and
the snacks and all that tiff. That's great. We just
want to throw water balloon.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Like for my family, we you know, living north of
the city, We're far enough away now from so many
of our friends that it is a pain, like you know,
for hanging out like in East Grand Rapids with people,
to have to go all the way back home for
things when we could be like, yes, you can run
the DUTs sprinkler and I am gonna have another glass
of wine yours.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
It's a when win, my loves.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I have a question for you, specifically, SCHMITTI is your
trunk already prepared for summer emergencies? That black hole that
just absorbs things into your car completely empty?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
What, I cleaned it?
Speaker 12 (14:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I did a whole topic on this like three months ago, dude,
after my tire went flat.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Three months I figured that was enough time for you
to read love.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
No, no, no, you sit yourself down. I am so set.
I can put all sorts of things back there for
my kids. But I thought it'd be a great conversation
this morning, as you do have summer at the top
of mind. What would be in your summer emergency kit?
Because one of my responsible moms, Sally, popped right in
those comments tick remover, because seriously, dude, you're hiking or
(14:58):
you're on even on a bike ride. We did that
White Pine trail ride and I found a tick.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I lived in the woods my whole life, never thought
about ticks, and now I just feel like I'm surrounded
by them at all times.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Well, lime disease loves you and it can't wait six
one six, four five eight, one oh five seven. What
do you think what would go in your summer emergency
kit that moment that you can look at the kids
and say, yes, we can do that because everything's packed
in the car, give us a call or drop a
talk back in our free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I'm such a childishmitty in my head. I'm like, Okay,
water balloons, maybe some pixie sticks, Gomi bears.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I mean, I've got nine square guns in my beach bag.
That's pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Oh, it's just really unfortunate news to report. Morton Harkett,
the lead singer of the iconic band Aha, has announced
to fans he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's, the eighties
pop star announcing the diagnosis on the band's website yesterday,
revealing he's already had two advanced surgeries, one in June
of last year, the other in December, and actually had
(16:01):
electrodes implanted deep inside each side of his brain to
try and alleviate the symptoms that are already showing up.
He admits it is still a long journey ahead. He
describes his handling of Parkinson's as a round the clock
effort to balance medication signals from the electrodes in his brain, sleep,
blood sugar, and mindset in a way that tries to
(16:23):
keep those symptoms and side effects at least somewhat in check.
He said the balancing act has definitely been the hardest
part of this, and as for his future in singing, performing,
or any of those things, it doesn't look great. He
admits that he doesn't feel like singing, and for him,
that's a sign. He also admits that he does not
(16:44):
expect to achieve full technical control of his voice ever again,
but still has some positivity for fan, saying, don't worry
about me, spend your energy and effort addressing real problems.
Know that I am definitely being.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Taken care of.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I actually just watched a video of a live performance
of him doing take on Me, of Course, and it
was unbelievable if you think about the notes that that
gentleman has to hit in that song. I mean, just
a phenomenal voice.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
And really sad to have that taken away from him.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Russell Simmons is claiming HBO Max ignored mountains of evidence
refuting the assault claims against him when it produced that
bombshell documentary, and he is now suing the streamer for
twenty million bucks. According to dos filed yesterday, Simmons says
the twenty twenty documentary on the record disregarded and suppressed
(17:37):
more than twenty witnesses who fully refute the allegations that
multiple women have made against the music mogul. He says
the info was readily available to several big hudthound shows
at WarnerMedia, which is the parent company of HBO Max,
and he claims civil rights leaders and members of Congress
even urged HBO to review the evidence supporting simmons denials.
(17:59):
He also for Winfrey into this too, According to documents,
he claims she was initially an executive producer of On
the Record, but then withdrew from the project after publicly
noting inconsistencies in the accusations. He's going hard against this.
A spokesperson for Warner Brothers say they dispute simmons allegations.
(18:20):
They stand by the filmmakers and their process and plan
to vigorously defend themselves.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I love a good documentary, schmiddie. I know you do too,
but let's not be confused. Documentaries are entertainment and they
will be produced and put together in whatever they feel
is the most entertaining way for audiences, especially when there's
dollars behind me.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I think it's more fascinating that he pulled Oprah into
this and she was like back and off from the project.
He issuing for defamation, emotional distress, and invasion of privacy. Finally,
have you been hearing a lot about the All American
Rejects lately? They are just really front and center right
now all over TikTok, especially with these pop up shows.
They've been surprising fans with all across the country. Well,
(19:01):
Tyson Ritter, lead singer of the All American Rejects, is
eyeing a new venture, announcing yesterday he's launching an OnlyFans account. Yeah,
the band's single Easy Come, Easy Go, drops today, So
what perfect marketing? He tells GQ magazine. We've always been
a band who's got a tongue bursting through the cheek
when it comes to our music, So why not, you know,
(19:24):
a little something bursting through a zipper? He told fans
they can expect full frontal rock and roll all access, as.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
If there weren't enough millennial moms salivating front row at
these way.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Tyson Rinner, speaking of millennials, is aging beautifully. If you
have not seen him lately, all of your scoop at
West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
These times you throw down Battle of the sex. Who
is getting you an opportunity to go see Kids Bop
Live Schmitty and this one? I actually feel like it's
like an educational question for these tickets.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Yeah, this is I'm interested in maybe the wives tales
that we're gonna hear.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
All right, one hundred men surveyed, name something you put
on a.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Beasting Okay, so I look, I'm seeing the answers right now,
and I cannot believe toothpaste is not on here. My
whole life, people have told me you put toothpaste on beastings.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Oh, I've heard that about mosquito bites, never beastings.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Maybe I'm confusing multiple though. When I got stung by fifteen,
maybe my friend just thought like, hey, maybe I'll just
make your toothpaste out over yourself. I'm googling now, all right?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Six one, six, four, five, eight, one oh five seven.
One hundred men surveyed. Name something you put on a beasting?
That number one answer, and you and the family are
headed to Kids Bop Live this august ed devas with
Star Win. Oh five point seven, Good morning, Star. Who's
this Michelle? Where are you calling from today?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
White cloud Michelle, Let's catch you kids. Bob Tickets got
to tell me. A hundred guys, we're asked to name
something you put on a beasting. What's that? Top answer? Wow?
Speaker 13 (21:01):
When I was throwing out, my dad always did a
meat tenderizer, meat tenderizer and water made like a paste,
and that helped draw that out.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
A meat tenderizer and and what else.
Speaker 13 (21:13):
It's like, you know, the powder meat tenderizer powder. You
mix that with water and you put it on it
like a paste, and it draws that thing out right work.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
You would would you describe that as like like what
like an ointment?
Speaker 7 (21:25):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yes, an ointment. That's interesting because you know, if I
if I heard most people say ointment, I would assume
something store bought. But your dad's like one of the
original granola parents, I feel like, and he was using
a meat tenderizer on your beastings. I kind of like
your father. Having never met him, he seems like a
pretty good dude. Ointments the top answer, Michelle, alcome, thank you, Yeah,
(21:48):
you're welcome. Congrats. Yeah, it was otment, then baking soda,
then ice, and then aloe. Rounding out those top answers,
I still say, put some toothpaste on your beasting. I'm
not sure. I think that's it sounds right to me.
I'm pretty sure anyway, Michelle, congratulations, you're going to Kids

Nice.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I'm on it too. It's Mack and Schmitty and for me, Schmitty.
In just a few hours, I will be holding fun
noodles in a tunnel over my fourth grader's head as
he exits the school for the last time this year. Yeah,
final day of school for both my son Connor and
my daughter Charlotte, and I wanted to talk to you
about whether your kids on the last day of school
are the glad kid or the sad kid, because for
(22:34):
my kids, it's super interesting because you know, at this age,
I feel like you know your kids better than they
know themselves, and my kids do a complete one eighty
from each other. The day of the last day of school.
Last night, I was sitting up with Connor going to bed, and.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
He's like, Oh, gonna miss my friends, and I'm just
I'm bummed and I won't see my teacher anymore, and
you know, just kind of acted a little melancholy and
melancholy and sad about it. My daughter on the other side,
when I'm putting to be she's like, oh, yeah, wait,
I've got camp coming up.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
We get no school, I get to sleep in. She's
so excited. I know for certain when both of those
kids get off the bus today, my son will be
on Cloud nine woo vacation and my daughter will have
tears in her So they flip from like yesterday, swpt
from yesterday to today because when they go to school,
that's when all of the feelings change. My son absorbs
(23:23):
the energy of all the other kids. It is like,
let's get out here. And then my daughter does the
same thing, but with all our little girlies, and they
just turn it into a big crying festive. I love you.
It is like a tea. Every single year my kids
do this.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I don't know what my kids will be like, will
be sad. He absolutely adores his teacher.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
He's such a sweet kid.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Too, But he's not He's not missing on in any friends.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I mean, we live within seventeen seconds of like everyone
he goes to school with.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That's cool.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
So I don't think he's going to notice that kind
of difference. I think he'll be excited to not necessarily. No,
he like he likes waking up too.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
He's even a morning person. My daughter the one who's like, pluf,
finally ten.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Am, wake up once again. Your girl needs are beauty sleep?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Who were you in school? Just out of curiosity? Were
you the glad? Probably glad? But I had a lot
of school anxiety. Oh yeah, I was probably glad, just
and your mom was a teacher and stuff too, So
did that play into it at all where it was like,
not only do I'm not gonna have school, but like
my mom's gonna be home every day all summer.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I was also the sleeper in, so I was super
stoked about the six thirty elivee.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Little did I know.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Fast forward twenty years when Schmitty was going to be
setting a three am alarm.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
All right, so my daughter's going to be a teenager
next year. I just want you to put the fear
of God into me real quick, right, fifteen fourteen year
old Schmitty, summer vacation starts. How late are you sleeping there?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
I could push ten thirty eleven.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Oh, that's okay, that's all right. I was thinking we
were going to get into afternoon hours. If there's a
two am.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
AT's allowed to do that.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Let's do this thing. I've got a beautiful day out
there on deck, and we're here to brighten things up
a little bit more. Feeling good? Right now, it's up, Smitty.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Well, let's talk about this in incredible pediatrician in Flint.
Her name is doctor Mona Hannah. She helped expose Flint's
water crisis, and now she has turned her attention to
fighting poverty in the area. She has started a first
of its kind program created to provide cash to pregnant
moms with absolutely no strings attached. It's called RX Kids
(25:20):
all Right. Doctor Hannah has already raised more than one
hundred million dollars, eighty percent of that coming from private donors.
So every expectant mother in Flint, regardless of income, gets
fifteen hundred dollars during her pregnancy, and once the baby
is born, it's five hundred dollars a month for up
to a year, absolutely no strings attached. This has gotten
(25:42):
a lot of attention even from the other side of
the aisle. Michigan Senator John de Moose is a conservative
Republican from a very red district. He has said before
certainly not a fan of handouts, but he pushed hard
to get RX Kids in his district. CBS actually travel
to Flint to talk about this incredible thing. The representative said,
(26:03):
it's extremely efficient. There's no government bureaucracy. This is a
great program that meets people right where they need it.
Our ex Kids has already spread roughly ten million dollars
since last year to over twenty two hundred families. Doctor
Mona says it's just about trusting the family will do
with it what they need.
Speaker 12 (26:24):
I wanted something that literally would be able to prescribe
away the pathogen of poverty. This is based on global evidence.
Speaker 13 (26:32):
We are telling.
Speaker 12 (26:33):
Families we see you, we hear you, and we trust you.
We literally have like created a program based on love.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
It is so incredibly cool. She also says this is
plug and play. It would work anywhere across the country
and they are seeing huge success with this, literally changing
families in Flint.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
We created a program built on love.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Leave it to a woman pediatricia to come up with
such an incredible idea.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
All right, sitda, this is really cool. Of course, Dan
Campbell is now our beloved Detroit Lions head coach. But
about thirty years ago, I think he was on the
campus of Texas A and M as a freshman tight
end on a football scholarship. Well recently he got to
connect with his friends in Texas A and M. As
he sat down for what he was told was an interview,
but quickly found out that it was not. It was
(27:23):
the Lions and the Aggies of Texas A and M
teaming up to surprise him with the Lifetime Achievement Award
for Texas A and M alumni. This is really cool
and he just caught totally off guard.
Speaker 10 (27:37):
All right, are you filming us? Watch this? Hell?
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Oh Dan, Joe coach. I know this comes as a surprise.
This is not an interview, but just from everybody here
in Agilan, I wanted to congratulate you on what a
what a all she career that you have had and
are continued to have.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
They congratulations on the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
You absolutely deserved this for all the hard work and
dedication you've had in your life.
Speaker 10 (28:05):
I love you, brother.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
Hey danis Rex Tucker, congratulations on the Loftime Achievements Award.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
Big Dan, congratulations brother on your Lifetime Achievement Award. So
proud of you man, everything you've accomplished.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I mean, it goes on like that, player after player,
former coaches, people interacted with in the NFL. And then
even his family was there to surprise him as well,
his wife Holly and his kids showing up.
Speaker 10 (28:29):
Oh my god, dude, are you kidding? Regulations, holy crowd,
proud of you. It's impossible, dude, I did not. Oh
you you guys knew? Oh my god, hey, how.
Speaker 6 (28:44):

How long have you known him, well, yeah, I'm honored.
I'm honored, Thank you, thank you. I love my agus man,
thank you for all my teammates. RC love you to
death and means the world of me.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I mean really cool. Congratulations to coach Dan Campbell Lifetime
Achievement Award from Texas A and M University and obviously
beloved here in Michigan as well. Good dude, mc DC,
love it all right. Feeling good coming at you a
couple times a day. I want to tell you about
cool things going on out there. Let's do it tomorrow
six forty five and nine twenty on Star
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday starting at six
am on Star one oh five point seven
Wake up. It gets my day going.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It makes me.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Laugh, all of it.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one of
five point seven.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Good morning, good morning, Welcome into your Thursday and after
a day of on and off again rain, I hope
you guys are ready for some sunshine because we got
a lot of it coming day, I hope. So it
should be pretty beautiful times getting up into the mid
upper seventies around Wolfs to West Michigan today, which should
make nice for some of the kids. I know some
kids go till tomorrow. I think you said your son
(00:34):
goes till tomorrow. Last day of school for my kids today?
Nice last day of school.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Are you feeling about it? Because it's up to you
starting tomorrow? Well, you know there, it is.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Up to me. I really just have to just pass
that buck right off to my wife. She's the one
who has to work at home while the kids are there,
and that's just a whole nother degree of difficulty between
balancing the job and your kids asking for a snack
every thirty seconds.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yep, yep. Movies, news and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's the celebrities group on Star one oh five point.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Seven well, I completely miss this. Did you know?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
King of Queen star Leah Remedy and Jennifer Lopez are
best friends?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
So.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Leah is in a new interview.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
With US Weekly talking about how the two have really
been leaning on each other over the last year while
they were both simultaneously going through their divorces. However, the
relationship has changed a bit. She said she got back
in touch with j Lo after the two both filed
for divorce within days of one another, Remedy telling the
magazine the two often texted each other loving messages of support,
(01:37):
a very sweet reconnection between two friends many thought were
on the outs. Apparently they've been really really close for
a very long time. No real reason for why they
ended up kind of drifting apart distance schedules, but Remedy
says the relationship isn't necessarily talking to j Loo every
single day like she used to, but the two still
(02:00):
care very very deeply about the friendships. Leah says, when
you grow out of the person that you once were,
it doesn't mean you're at odds with that person. I
have so many friends that I don't talk to every
single day, but it's just that I'm in a different place,
so are they, and they are still deep deep love
between us. I had no idea. You've never seen these
two together, but now I see all these pictures and
(02:21):
they're super super tight.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Ha is it. There've been friends for a long time.
I wonder if it goes back to the scientology base
or all of it afterwards, being interested in scientist. No,
I don't think so. I've never heard that.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Former First Lady Michelle Obama said that she is respecting
her daughter's decisions to change a little something in adulthood.
They have been dropping their very famous last name, especially
for professional projects. Malia specifically actually dropped her last name.
The first time we noticed that was when one of
(02:53):
her short films, The Heart, aired at the Sundance Film
Festival late last year, and it was simply Malia Anne.
Her famous mom was on the Sibling Revelry iHeart.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Podcast trying to distinguish yourself.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
I mean, it is very important for my kids to
feel like they've earned what they are getting in the world.
And they don't want people to assume that they don't
work hard, that they're just naturally just handed things. They're
very sensitive to that. They want to be their own people.
You know Malia who started in film, I mean her
(03:28):
first project, she took off her last name and we
were like, they're still going to know it's you, Malia,
you know, but we respected the fact that, you know,
she's trying to make her way.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Yeah, so she gets it.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
But I thought it was also very sweet that Michelle
mentioned the two girls. The older they get, the more
they really embrace the parenting principles that they learned from
her and Baraque.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's got to be a good feeling, because I mean,
that's a large shadow to have cast over you for
your entire life with your mom and dads. To break
out on your own, is I gotta feel important and cool?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
And finally.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles has some very strong feelings
about Kylie Jenner's fashion brand. She shared a mirror selfie
on her Instagram wearing one of the Kai Blazers It's
an oversized faux leather coat, and was less than enthused.
She literally looks like a toddler wearing a size extra large.
(04:24):
Biles writes, Smiths, Kylie Jenner, this is a chrime. There
is no way this is an extra extra small slash small.
The sleeves literally come like a foot past the tips
of her fingers. The bottom of the jacket hits below
the knee. She then photoshopped Gigi Hadid the supermodel in
(04:45):
an oversized sweatshirt and said, this is literally me right now,
come on, all tongue and teeth. Tongue in cheek, but
it's very, very cute.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I'd like to see Simone Biles come for lots of
people in fashion that should be her next.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I think they should dress her.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
She's four foot eight. There are some of.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Us that are so little out there.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I've got those picks for you with your scoop at
West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
He's stelling on fine points. Yeah, good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmid. I always bringing something to make
your day a little bit better. And this is really cool.
Ken the Cracker he's lived here in West Michigan for
nearly his entire life, and after graduating high school back
in nineteen sixty six, he had listed to the army.
He actually took his brother's spot in the Vietnam War,
serving in the one hundred and first Airborne Division during Vietnam.
(05:29):
Then he moved back to Michigan. He's been living in
Wyoming for the last thirty five years, and this veteran's
roof had seen better days. It was almost seventy years old,
and the Cracker took pride and working on it himself
when it started getting significant leaks. I mean, seventy year
old roof. But then in twenty twenty three, he suffered
(05:50):
a heart condition required quadruple bypass surgery that landed him
in an intensive rehab. He had lose thirty pounds and
getting back up on that roof was going to be
more of a daunting task, and that's what his family
decided to denominate him through the Beacons of Hope Uplifting
Veterans program to maybe get a new roof, and he
the Cracker, was one of sixteen winners across the entire
(06:14):
country that was chosen by Beacon who provided the materials,
while Premiere Roofing right here in Granville helped complete the
project by donating all the manpower. And for Ken, this
was just a massive weight off his shoulders.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
Took the weight on the world off because that was
a big concern for me. Every year I had to
get up there and do inspections at least.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
And at Premiere Roofing, they definitely did not miss out
on the opportunity to help a veteran when the opportunity arose.
As they were telling Fox seventeen, it.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Was a pretty quick yes because we took one look
at the roof and we just knew that this was
it was a bad roof, and they mister the Cracker
really needed a new roof, so it was a good opportunity.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
For us to help it out and get back.
Speaker 10 (06:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
That was Premiere Exteriors president Josh Bell right there, and
now brand new roof up on there. The seventy six
year old veteran stay in active and is just so
pleased with what he's got. Well, fighting a new house.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
I kind of ran away. That's amazing to me. It's incredible.
That's fantastic. I mean, ain't worth.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And it's West Michigan. Just giving back to our veterans.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Well, thank you for your service. And Josh and his
team at Premiere are really good dudes. All right, this
is the moment you've been working for, right Cole Young
called up to the big leagues the Seattle Mariners, calling
up the second basement from their TRIAA team the Tacoma Reniers.
This went down a few days ago, but the video
of his phone call to mom has gone viral. Imagine
(07:46):
how proud you'd feel after all those years of games
and rain or shine practices, summer camps, and your little
boy is headed to the MLB.
Speaker 10 (07:57):
My mom's in shocked.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Hello, love, I just got caught up.
Speaker 10 (08:16):
Yeah. I don't know what to feel right now.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
This is incredible.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
Thank you, thank.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
You, I love you too.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
As a bonus to this feeling good, he made that
MLB debut with a pretty sweet win over the Twins.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
The pitch swinging a ground ball, bouncing softly to the
first base ball.
Speaker 11 (08:48):
All that time.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's a walk up for the Nurners.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Pull Young in his make sure League debut. Okay, showered
with seeds and hand the water bucket is shallow right field.
He has won in for the Mariners in the bottom
of the eleventh.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Name very cool moments. I've got the videos for you
at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Dot com, TDS music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Well, the eight year on again, off again relationship for
actress Dakota Johnson and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is done
and sourcessy. This time it is for good, the actress
and singer splitting up, according to People magazine, which cites
multiple sourcesing, this really feels like the final time. They
have been on to get off again since twenty seventeen,
(09:40):
but actually got engaged a few years back now. Breakup
rumors started swirling last year, but a referend coda denied those,
and then in August the two were together in India,
where Coldplay was touring. She had become a huge part
of Chris's life. In a very recent interview, she even
talked about spending time with his kids at I love
those kids like my life depends on it. She had
(10:04):
the seal of approval from Chris's ex, Gwyneth Paltrow, who
has consistently talked about how much she adores Johnson over
the years. Their reps are not saying anything official this morning,
but they are done.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
There's two bags. I actually kind of like them together.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
He just couldn't get over all those fifty shades of
gray scenes. It just counts stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
The company that controls Eminem's early catalog is suing Mark
Zuckerberg's Meta. Eight mile Style is the publishing company filing
a lawsuit against Meta platforms. This is, of course, the
tech company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. They're accusing
the tech giant of copyright infringement and are seeking over
(10:47):
one hundred and nine million dollars in damages. Now. Eight
mile Style alleges Meta violated the copyright of two hundred
and forty three songs from its catalog, and they're claiming
Meta did so through the unauthorized storage, reproduction, and exploitation
of those more than two hundred songs on various platforms.
(11:08):
The claim cites a lot of different features, including original
audio and reels remixes, as a means to allow and
encourage users to steal eight mile Styles music that does
include Eminem songs as well. They are requesting a jury trial.
This could be very interesting when you talk about the
future of social media and what kinds of things you're
(11:30):
allowed to use on there.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Well, you are one hundred percent right, because this is
really Pandora's box of like, oh, if Eminem get some money,
guess what, there's a lot of rest of us who
are going to be owed some cash.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
So to break it down in the math, they're requesting
one hundred and fifty grand for each one of the.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Two hundred and forty three songs, So that is insane.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I think that sounds reasonable. I mean, if it's heard
thousands and thousands of times.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just marked Princess Lilabette's fourth
birthday and it's one of the most personal family videos
we have seen in a while, and a never before
seen clip. A very pregnant Meghan is seen getting through
labor the same way a lot of us do. Let
me see the dance she wris four years ago today.
(12:16):
This also happened both of our children were a week
past their due dates. So when spicy food, all that
walking and acupuncture did not work, there was only one
thing left. The best part of this video, Prince Harry dancing. Guys,
got some moves posted up for you with your scoop
at West Michigan Start.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
It's back at Shitty hanging out and yeah, my kid's
last day of school today. Yours are finishing up this week,
others are already on schmitty and you brought up something
that I think would be perfect to have.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
A summer emergency kit. I can't take credit for this.
It's actually an Instagram post I saw yesterday and it's
so perfect. A fellow mom said last year, I figured
it out. We need a summer emergency kit. I keep
it in my car. It's a giant beach bag that
contains bathing suits for everybody, towels, sun black bug spray, snacks, hats,
(13:04):
and water. So now at the drop of a hat,
we can engage in all sorts of spontaneous summer fun
because we're totally prepared. No more.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Oh, I wish we could, but and I thought, ah,
that's like a great mom move.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
It really is a good mom move. I'm sorry. I
feel bad as I hear you saying this because in
my head as you said this, I've all been thinking
like this is hilarious, like emergency break glass, summer emergency,
gotta get it, And in mine I was only thinking
water balloons. So I'm like, if I have water balloons
with me, I could have fun anywhere I'm at And
it makes no.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Difference from your kids, because I'll tell you right now,
I'm gonna break the glass the second I hear I'm
bored for the seventh time, and there comes the summer
emergency kit.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That mom though was responsible, like, oh, we've got sunscreen,
We've got the bathing suits and the bug spray and
the snacks and all that tiff. That's great. We just
want to throw water balloon.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Like for my family, we you know, living north of
the city, We're far enough away now from so many
of our friends that it is a pain, like you know,
for hanging out like in East Grand Rapids with people,
to have to go all the way back home for
things when we could be like, yes, you can run
the DUTs sprinkler and I am gonna have another glass
of wine yours.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
It's a when win, my loves.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I have a question for you, specifically, SCHMITTI is your
trunk already prepared for summer emergencies? That black hole that
just absorbs things into your car completely empty?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
What, I cleaned it?
Speaker 12 (14:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I did a whole topic on this like three months ago, dude,
after my tire went flat.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Three months I figured that was enough time for you
to read love.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
No, no, no, you sit yourself down. I am so set.
I can put all sorts of things back there for
my kids. But I thought it'd be a great conversation
this morning, as you do have summer at the top
of mind. What would be in your summer emergency kit?
Because one of my responsible moms, Sally, popped right in
those comments tick remover, because seriously, dude, you're hiking or
(14:58):
you're on even on a bike ride. We did that
White Pine trail ride and I found a tick.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I lived in the woods my whole life, never thought
about ticks, and now I just feel like I'm surrounded
by them at all times.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Well, lime disease loves you and it can't wait six
one six, four five eight, one oh five seven. What
do you think what would go in your summer emergency
kit that moment that you can look at the kids
and say, yes, we can do that because everything's packed
in the car, give us a call or drop a
talk back in our free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I'm such a childishmitty in my head. I'm like, Okay,
water balloons, maybe some pixie sticks, Gomi bears.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I mean, I've got nine square guns in my beach bag.
That's pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Oh, it's just really unfortunate news to report. Morton Harkett,
the lead singer of the iconic band Aha, has announced
to fans he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's, the eighties
pop star announcing the diagnosis on the band's website yesterday,
revealing he's already had two advanced surgeries, one in June
of last year, the other in December, and actually had
(16:01):
electrodes implanted deep inside each side of his brain to
try and alleviate the symptoms that are already showing up.
He admits it is still a long journey ahead. He
describes his handling of Parkinson's as a round the clock
effort to balance medication signals from the electrodes in his brain, sleep,
blood sugar, and mindset in a way that tries to
(16:23):
keep those symptoms and side effects at least somewhat in check.
He said the balancing act has definitely been the hardest
part of this, and as for his future in singing, performing,
or any of those things, it doesn't look great. He
admits that he doesn't feel like singing, and for him,
that's a sign. He also admits that he does not
(16:44):
expect to achieve full technical control of his voice ever again,
but still has some positivity for fan, saying, don't worry
about me, spend your energy and effort addressing real problems.
Know that I am definitely being.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Taken care of.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I actually just watched a video of a live performance
of him doing take on Me, of Course, and it
was unbelievable if you think about the notes that that
gentleman has to hit in that song. I mean, just
a phenomenal voice.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
And really sad to have that taken away from him.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Russell Simmons is claiming HBO Max ignored mountains of evidence
refuting the assault claims against him when it produced that
bombshell documentary, and he is now suing the streamer for
twenty million bucks. According to dos filed yesterday, Simmons says
the twenty twenty documentary on the record disregarded and suppressed
(17:37):
more than twenty witnesses who fully refute the allegations that
multiple women have made against the music mogul. He says
the info was readily available to several big hudthound shows
at WarnerMedia, which is the parent company of HBO Max,
and he claims civil rights leaders and members of Congress
even urged HBO to review the evidence supporting simmons denials.
(17:59):
He also for Winfrey into this too, According to documents,
he claims she was initially an executive producer of On
the Record, but then withdrew from the project after publicly
noting inconsistencies in the accusations. He's going hard against this.
A spokesperson for Warner Brothers say they dispute simmons allegations.
(18:20):
They stand by the filmmakers and their process and plan
to vigorously defend themselves.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I love a good documentary, schmiddie. I know you do too,
but let's not be confused. Documentaries are entertainment and they
will be produced and put together in whatever they feel
is the most entertaining way for audiences, especially when there's
dollars behind me.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I think it's more fascinating that he pulled Oprah into
this and she was like back and off from the project.
He issuing for defamation, emotional distress, and invasion of privacy. Finally,
have you been hearing a lot about the All American
Rejects lately? They are just really front and center right
now all over TikTok, especially with these pop up shows.
They've been surprising fans with all across the country. Well,
(19:01):
Tyson Ritter, lead singer of the All American Rejects, is
eyeing a new venture, announcing yesterday he's launching an OnlyFans account. Yeah,
the band's single Easy Come, Easy Go, drops today, So
what perfect marketing? He tells GQ magazine. We've always been
a band who's got a tongue bursting through the cheek
when it comes to our music, So why not, you know,
(19:24):
a little something bursting through a zipper? He told fans
they can expect full frontal rock and roll all access, as.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
If there weren't enough millennial moms salivating front row at
these way.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Tyson Rinner, speaking of millennials, is aging beautifully. If you
have not seen him lately, all of your scoop at
West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
These times you throw down Battle of the sex. Who
is getting you an opportunity to go see Kids Bop
Live Schmitty and this one? I actually feel like it's
like an educational question for these tickets.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Yeah, this is I'm interested in maybe the wives tales
that we're gonna hear.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
All right, one hundred men surveyed, name something you put
on a.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Beasting Okay, so I look, I'm seeing the answers right now,
and I cannot believe toothpaste is not on here. My
whole life, people have told me you put toothpaste on beastings.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Oh, I've heard that about mosquito bites, never beastings.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Maybe I'm confusing multiple though. When I got stung by fifteen,
maybe my friend just thought like, hey, maybe I'll just
make your toothpaste out over yourself. I'm googling now, all right?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Six one, six, four, five, eight, one oh five seven.
One hundred men surveyed. Name something you put on a beasting?
That number one answer, and you and the family are
headed to Kids Bop Live this august ed devas with
Star Win. Oh five point seven, Good morning, Star. Who's
this Michelle? Where are you calling from today?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
White cloud Michelle, Let's catch you kids. Bob Tickets got
to tell me. A hundred guys, we're asked to name
something you put on a beasting. What's that? Top answer? Wow?
Speaker 13 (21:01):
When I was throwing out, my dad always did a
meat tenderizer, meat tenderizer and water made like a paste,
and that helped draw that out.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
A meat tenderizer and and what else.
Speaker 13 (21:13):
It's like, you know, the powder meat tenderizer powder. You
mix that with water and you put it on it
like a paste, and it draws that thing out right work.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
You would would you describe that as like like what
like an ointment?
Speaker 7 (21:25):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yes, an ointment. That's interesting because you know, if I
if I heard most people say ointment, I would assume
something store bought. But your dad's like one of the
original granola parents, I feel like, and he was using
a meat tenderizer on your beastings. I kind of like
your father. Having never met him, he seems like a
pretty good dude. Ointments the top answer, Michelle, alcome, thank you, Yeah,
(21:48):
you're welcome. Congrats. Yeah, it was otment, then baking soda,
then ice, and then aloe. Rounding out those top answers,
I still say, put some toothpaste on your beasting. I'm
not sure. I think that's it sounds right to me.
I'm pretty sure anyway, Michelle, congratulations, you're going to Kids
(22:09):
Bop Live with Kiddos.
Speaker 13 (22:10):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I'm on it too. It's Mack and Schmitty and for me, Schmitty.
In just a few hours, I will be holding fun
noodles in a tunnel over my fourth grader's head as
he exits the school for the last time this year. Yeah,
final day of school for both my son Connor and
my daughter Charlotte, and I wanted to talk to you
about whether your kids on the last day of school
are the glad kid or the sad kid, because for
(22:34):
my kids, it's super interesting because you know, at this age,
I feel like you know your kids better than they
know themselves, and my kids do a complete one eighty
from each other. The day of the last day of school.
Last night, I was sitting up with Connor going to bed, and.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
He's like, Oh, gonna miss my friends, and I'm just
I'm bummed and I won't see my teacher anymore, and
you know, just kind of acted a little melancholy and
melancholy and sad about it. My daughter on the other side,
when I'm putting to be she's like, oh, yeah, wait,
I've got camp coming up.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
We get no school, I get to sleep in. She's
so excited. I know for certain when both of those
kids get off the bus today, my son will be
on Cloud nine woo vacation and my daughter will have
tears in her So they flip from like yesterday, swpt
from yesterday to today because when they go to school,
that's when all of the feelings change. My son absorbs
(23:23):
the energy of all the other kids. It is like,
let's get out here. And then my daughter does the
same thing, but with all our little girlies, and they
just turn it into a big crying festive. I love you.
It is like a tea. Every single year my kids
do this.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I don't know what my kids will be like, will
be sad. He absolutely adores his teacher.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
He's such a sweet kid.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Too, But he's not He's not missing on in any friends.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I mean, we live within seventeen seconds of like everyone
he goes to school with.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That's cool.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
So I don't think he's going to notice that kind
of difference. I think he'll be excited to not necessarily. No,
he like he likes waking up too.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
He's even a morning person. My daughter the one who's like, pluf,
finally ten.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Am, wake up once again. Your girl needs are beauty sleep?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Who were you in school? Just out of curiosity? Were
you the glad? Probably glad? But I had a lot
of school anxiety. Oh yeah, I was probably glad, just
and your mom was a teacher and stuff too, So
did that play into it at all where it was like,
not only do I'm not gonna have school, but like
my mom's gonna be home every day all summer.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I was also the sleeper in, so I was super
stoked about the six thirty elivee.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Little did I know.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Fast forward twenty years when Schmitty was going to be
setting a three am alarm.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
All right, so my daughter's going to be a teenager
next year. I just want you to put the fear
of God into me real quick, right, fifteen fourteen year
old Schmitty, summer vacation starts. How late are you sleeping there?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
I could push ten thirty eleven.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Oh, that's okay, that's all right. I was thinking we
were going to get into afternoon hours. If there's a
two am.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
AT's allowed to do that.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Let's do this thing. I've got a beautiful day out
there on deck, and we're here to brighten things up
a little bit more. Feeling good? Right now, it's up, Smitty.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Well, let's talk about this in incredible pediatrician in Flint.
Her name is doctor Mona Hannah. She helped expose Flint's
water crisis, and now she has turned her attention to
fighting poverty in the area. She has started a first
of its kind program created to provide cash to pregnant
moms with absolutely no strings attached. It's called RX Kids
(25:20):
all Right. Doctor Hannah has already raised more than one
hundred million dollars, eighty percent of that coming from private donors.
So every expectant mother in Flint, regardless of income, gets
fifteen hundred dollars during her pregnancy, and once the baby
is born, it's five hundred dollars a month for up
to a year, absolutely no strings attached. This has gotten
(25:42):
a lot of attention even from the other side of
the aisle. Michigan Senator John de Moose is a conservative
Republican from a very red district. He has said before
certainly not a fan of handouts, but he pushed hard
to get RX Kids in his district. CBS actually travel
to Flint to talk about this incredible thing. The representative said,
(26:03):
it's extremely efficient. There's no government bureaucracy. This is a
great program that meets people right where they need it.
Our ex Kids has already spread roughly ten million dollars
since last year to over twenty two hundred families. Doctor
Mona says it's just about trusting the family will do
with it what they need.
Speaker 12 (26:24):
I wanted something that literally would be able to prescribe
away the pathogen of poverty. This is based on global evidence.
Speaker 13 (26:32):
We are telling.
Speaker 12 (26:33):
Families we see you, we hear you, and we trust you.
We literally have like created a program based on love.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
It is so incredibly cool. She also says this is
plug and play. It would work anywhere across the country
and they are seeing huge success with this, literally changing
families in Flint.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
We created a program built on love.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Leave it to a woman pediatricia to come up with
such an incredible idea.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
All right, sitda, this is really cool. Of course, Dan
Campbell is now our beloved Detroit Lions head coach. But
about thirty years ago, I think he was on the
campus of Texas A and M as a freshman tight
end on a football scholarship. Well recently he got to
connect with his friends in Texas A and M. As
he sat down for what he was told was an interview,
but quickly found out that it was not. It was
(27:23):
the Lions and the Aggies of Texas A and M
teaming up to surprise him with the Lifetime Achievement Award
for Texas A and M alumni. This is really cool
and he just caught totally off guard.
Speaker 10 (27:37):
All right, are you filming us? Watch this? Hell?
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Oh Dan, Joe coach. I know this comes as a surprise.
