really need the assist from mother Nature on that because
especially if you're planning to go up north, pack your

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Man, there was just so much in Detroit over the weekend,
and that includes the hugely popular Motor City Comic Con
making its return. It was at the Suburban Collection show Place,

of people. We saw Jeremy Renner, Bill Ny the Science Guy,
Sean Aston, Maylon Akerman from all of the Superhero Marvel movies,
(01:44):
Bradley Whitford, Bryce Dallas Howard, Steve Burns aka Steve from
Blues Clues. But I had to point out two of
my favorites, which Stanley and Meredith from the Office, who
had nothing but really great things to say about people
in Michigan.

Costumes the fans.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
We did over two hundred episodes, so they are many,
many fond memories.
Speaker 1 (02:07):

the Emmy for our Best Ensemble.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Nothing I ever quit in my coffee is going to
be as good as my nine.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Years on the office. Michiganders are awesome.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, they had a lot of really cool things to
say about being in Detroit TBC seven. It's one of
their favorite spots. A bunch of them made sure to say.
Speaker 1 (02:24):

him as Stanley Hudson.
Speaker 4 (02:29):

The seventy eighth Can Film.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Festival is underway, big stars on the red carpet, bringing
a lot of their new movies. But I wanted to
point this out because I thought it was a really
cool moment. Over the weekend, Jennifer Lawrence is back on
the world stage after taking some time away to start
her family, and she's in a new movie called Die
My Love alongside Robert Pantinson. They were doing a big
(03:00):
panel where she talked about how much motherhood has changed
her personally and professionally, with some really interesting advice for
fellow actors.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
Not only do they go into every decision of you know,
if I'm working, where I'm working, when I'm working, they've
taught me. I mean, I didn't know that I could
feel so much, and my job has a lot to
do with emotion, and they've opened up the world to me.
(03:33):
They've changed my life obviously for the best. I highly
recommend having kids if you want to be an actor.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
That was really cool, kind of the first time she's
gone in depth about motherhood.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I can also tell shes a mom because she sounds exhausted.
Okay for sure.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Finally, turn us down for a second. This is a
spoiler alert if you have not yet seen the American
Idol finale. Okay, I'm about to tell you the new
winner gave you a second all right. Season twenty three
coming to an end last night, revealing twenty seven year
old Mississippi gym teacher Jamal Roberts as the latest winner
(04:12):
of American Idol. That does mean John Foster and Brianna
Nicks were the runners up. With his win, Roberts becomes
the first black man to earn the title since season
two's Ruben Stuttered back in two thousand and three. I
was pretty impressive. He did performances with both Jelly Roll
and Luke Brian And speaking of Luke Brian, will the
(04:34):
judges be back for season twenty four. They caught up
with Carrie Underwood on the Red Carpet We will see.
I feel like there's a lot a lot of you know, contemplating,
and you know, you never know.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't know where the Good Lord's gonna take me,
but I'm glad I'm here.
Speaker 8 (04:49):
Man.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, Luke Brian also admitting that they are not in
talks at all whatsoever about next season.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's always you know, I feel like they had had
the stability more so than almost any other judges since
the original three back in the day until Katie Perry left,
and now I feel like it, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
It's all about in the air again. Yeah, all of
your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Selling a fine point seven. It's Mackachetty always looking to
bring a little positivity to your day with feeling good
right now and this is so sweet Schvetti. Two high
school seniors, Liliana and Vera and Evan jakobc both seniors
at Southington High School in Connecticut. Well, they were celebrating
their four month anniversary and they didn't do it like I,
(05:32):
you know, just a rotten teenager did with my girlfriends instead.
What they did Schiavetti as they went to Target and
then bought flowers, pens, note cards, not for each other though.
They actually then drove to Hartford Hospital and began placing
flowers and handwritten encouraging notes on the windshields of cars
in the parking lots. They told NBC Connecticut that the
(05:56):
messages were really really simple messages, but powerful if you
were that person who received it.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
One step at a time, get better.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You'll get through this. And then we gave away the
extra flowers to the lady work in the stands.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We didn't expect it to go viral.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
And how much does that right now?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Like five hundred k views and around one hundred k likes. Yeah,
that's right. The internet went and did it's thing. These
two uploaded They're a Good Deed online and it absolutely
took off there. But because it went viral, one of
the people who received one of those notes actually got
to find out who left it for. Her name was
Amel Zubdi, and she had actually been in the hospital
(06:34):
for ten days with her daughter going through a very
very serious situation, and after a very long day, she
said she received the note and it made a huge
difference for her.
Speaker 9 (06:46):
When I read the note, it was so nice someone
feel my pain without knowing anything, and he told me
you are not alone. You made our life like beautiful
nice And some people leave that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Some people need that. And at just the right moment,
Lillian and Evan just saying that their goal is just
to bring joy to somebody's day and that they definitely did.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
All right.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
This isn't necessarily a make you feel good. This is
a always run the errands for your wife because it
could score you a million bucks.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
River Grove, Illinois, one.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Lucky player has officially won just that, all because his
wife wanted a drink. The lucky player, who of course
is working to remain anonymous, has only nicknamed himself Faithful
fifty six, said he purchased a life changing scratch off
ticket at a Shell gas station in River Grove, Illinois,
and according to officials, that was a million dollar winner
(07:41):
for the game jumbo bucks. Faithful fifty six says it
wasn't even his idea. He was just going to be
sent at home on the couch. He said, my wife
wanted a pop, so I ran out to a nearby
gas station and at the checkout. I decided to pick
up a couple of scratch off tickets.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Boom.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
He said the shock of the jack didn't come until
he was at home scanned it to make double sure.
His wife, even more stunned, still didn't believe him. After
he scanned it and showed her the winner, she thought
it was all a huge prank. Actually had to go
two lottery officials before she actually believed they had.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Won a million bucks.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
So our loving hubbies, when we ask you to go
and do something for us, it could literally be life changing.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You're welcome. That's a good honey dew Aaron right there
for sure, schmiddy. Do you would you believe your husband
if he said he had a million dollars a lot
of ticket I don't think my wife would believe me either.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I don't know if i'd tell my husband right up
the book. But that's just because I'm in a very
loving relationship. So you can check it out West Michigan
Star dot.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Com, movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It feels like at this point it's just expected.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
If there's a big artist at ford Field, You pay
your honor to the.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Goat, and that is what happened last night.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Post Malone and jelly Roll continued their tour at ford
Field in the d and Jelly bringing out none other
than Eminem. I mean that video from the Detroit Free Press.
(09:27):
The crowd lost their ever loving minds as the two
artists performed Lose Yourself Together.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Not the first time.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Remember, jelly Roll performed for Eminem during that Michigan Central
Station reopening that was set for last year.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's just really weird to watch those videos and be like,
he's a grandfather.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Stop itchmid.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
This is a really interesting story.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
This morning, Law and Order s v U actress Mariska
Hargatea has revealed her biological father is not Mickey Hart,
the man who raised her alongside mom Jane Mansfield, but
instead some famous Italian singer and comedian. So Mariska is
in a new interview with Vanity Fair. She's talking about
(10:12):
this huge documentary she's been working on called My Mom Jane,
and confirms her biological dad is actually Italian singer Nelson Sardelli.
She shared her Mom Jane had a brief relationship with
Sardelli after separating from Mickey, but then Mansfield later reconciled
with Mickey before Merisca was born and he raised her
(10:33):
as his daughter Pargatae. So she discovered the truth actually
in her twenties after seeing a photo of this comedian
and being like West, Carol looks a lot like me.
But when she brought it up to Mickey, he insisted
that he was indeed her biological father. Topic was never
discussed again before Mickey passed back in two thousand and six,
and that's when the truth came out. And this will
(10:55):
all be covered in this documentary.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Wow, that's crazy, right man loves Wild Run.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Yeah, finally, if you do ads supported Netflix, it is
about to get real irritating. In fact, the beta testing
of this new idea already has customers pretty upset. The
streaming giant is launching AI ads that will actually blend
in with the content you're watching, so a product could
(11:21):
appear over a background that would be inspired by like
Stranger Things. It's not all that Netflix is preparing to
roll out. They're also going to.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Do pause ads. I was wondering when this was going
to hit.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
So you know you're watching your show, you hit pause
it's not going to be a free screen. You're going
to have an AD and a lot of it is
going to be integrated into the things that you're watching.
So far, the people that have had this served to
them say, nobody likes AI. Guess it's time to cancel
my subscription. At this point, I am canceling all of
my streaming and just buying DBDs.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Why don't you just beam the signals about what I
have to buy right into my brain?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
At this point, crazy, I'm interested to see what this
product placement looks like, because that just if that's the
tip of the iceberg on AI, I'm just not gonna
believe anything.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I ever watched?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Is that a bar of doves? So far with the
Millennium falcon? Like, what are we doing? People?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
All right, all of your celevscoo, but West Michigan start up?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Hut, good morning, see you. It's Mack and schmidting in
a wedding weekend.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Uh yeah, we went up north. It was a family
wedding for Chris's side. It was nice. I just was
so unprepared for what my seven year old son did.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
He slow danced with.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
A girl for the first time.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I was wondering whether yes, when you said that your
mama heart was like in tears over this. I wasn't
sure whether it was he asked you to dance, or
whether he danced with the girl.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
No, I think I'm already off the coolest. It was shocking.
So it was this really cool.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Barn wedding and we didn't know. We didn't know a
ton of people there.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
We knew like our side, like Chris's side of the family,
but there was a ton of because they're young.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
There was a ton of their college friends.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That were there. Her out of the family.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
We hadn't really met her before this, so he didn't
know like anybody there.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
There weren't that many kids. There were maybe four kids
all together.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I was wild.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
So Chris's cousin Amy, who we love, was like, hey, buddy,
why don't you why don't.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You come dance with me.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I'll show you how to slow dance, and he was
like learning how you know, you grab the waist and
hold the hand.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It was really really cute.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
So I'm standing off to the side and all of
a sudden, I watch him walk over to this, by
the way older woman. They were not the same age.
She was definitely like a foot taller.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
And I was like, what is he doing?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
And he says something to her and like takes her
hand and the two of them go out on the
dance floor and they slow danced for four songs and
then danced for another like three regular upbeat songs.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
What was wrong with the DJ?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Believe it?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
And I'm standing there, like Chris walks in from out
on the patio and he's like, where's will I go?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
He's dancing with a woman.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
This is like, okay, calm down, crazy, But he was
so gentlemanly and kind. And then I saw her like
say something to him, and then he twirled her.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
So I did how to like dance with her own life.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Way to go, buddy.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
It feels like, just as it got to like just
the the you know, epitome of the moment, his wonderful
little sister walked up and just butted right.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
In between them.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Hey, you know what jealousy.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Then the three of them began to dance.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
It was so cute, and like everybody was coming up
and they were like, oh my gosh, is that your son.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm like, he's only seven. I wasn't ready for this.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
And then we get home yesterday and I said, did
you have a good time with the wedding buddy? He said, oh,
it was so much fun. And I said, did you
enjoy dancing with your new friend? He goes yeah, and
I said what's her name? And he goes, I have
no idea. And I was like, okay, well we almost
made it the fully romantic thing. But it was very,
very sweet, and I just oh, it's one of those
(15:03):
moments as a parent you're.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Reminded blink of an eye.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Man, I feel like the last time we were at
a wedding, he was two and just barely walking onto
a dance floor, and now he's as girls ah.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Coming out there. Hey will smooth, buddy, and I will
say that the dance floor is where magic happens.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
All right.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I met my wife on a dance floor. Having those
skills will pay off big time.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Well, it was really nice to see he already mastered
like the high school dancing, which was seventeen feet apart
while you're barely touching each other and you're so nervous,
but oh it was so dang sweet. And I'm just
over here, like when does it happen? Like when am
I officially dropping him off two blocks away from school,
(15:45):
so nobody sees me pretending that we're not related in
any way, shape or form.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
And I think the next big thing is.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
The side hug.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Hey, you know what, I'm just happy that you also
didn't get jealous of this woman schmitdy like it was Hey,
hands off my shot?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Okay, kind of, let's noon.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
But yeah, it was a very big weekend.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
This is also probably my last opportunity to talk about
these things before he gets really upset that I talk
about them on the radio.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Here are the facts, a banglade, let's jump into the
week's most ridic you lissdie cedar point.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Animals escape from the petting zoo third time in one year.
First it was camels, then it was goats, and now
al pacas were on the run.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Honestly, that's going to make the line a lot more entertaining.
Registration opened for clothing optional five k in South Carolina. Schmitty, Yeah, honestly,
I'm not creeped out by the people who don't wear clothes.
I'm creeped out by the people who sign up wearing clothes.
That's a little creepy.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Ad bine, Uh Layla Noon is a circus performer that
has just broken the world record for being hung by
her hair.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Okay, you guys want to.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Talk about my buns? This woman is next level. She
hung for twenty three minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Ad bye, Texas Cat's keen sigenniia goes viral. A Houston
woman yes through a keen signia for her cat's fifteenth birthday,
complete with an entrance in a remote controlled Bentley, a
father daughter dance, and a Marianchi ban schmidty.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Actually the Bentley's cute.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I mean, that seems like a lot of effort just
to scare your cat into hiding under the couch for
a few hours.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Asie, oh, it's only in England. A student brings a
World War two hand grenade for show and tell. Uh huh, yeah,
it seems like this is a real problem. An elementary
school in England forced to evacuate after a student brought
a World War two era hand grenade. The school's teacher, however,
jumped into action, carrying the weapon out of the building
(17:53):
and placing it behind which she figured was.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
The biggest tree. Like I hope that it was cool.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Intel ever sadbye? All right, finally, skydiver drops iPhone from
fourteen thousand feet. Guess what, It still works perfectly fine,
not a scratch on it. Meanwhile, I'm walking around with
a broken screen because it fell out of my pockat
Smitty Nedbine. That's this week's headlines. You're sending great ones
out there, always said them our way at West Michigan,
(18:21):
Star on Facebook and Instagram, Dies.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
It's the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Well, today we enter week two of the Diddy trial
in New York, and over the weekend, allegations have resurfaced
that Puff Daddy poisoned Jamie fox and that is what
landed the legendary actor and rapper in the hospital. So
this is very interesting. He's talked about this before. This
is Bodyguard, former celebrity bodyguard, Big Homie, and he was
(18:56):
on Pierce Morgan over the weekend, something that they've been
trying to connect with him for a while.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
When he had this to say.
Speaker 10 (19:02):
Jamie Foxx said out of his mouth that his partner
handed him an advil, and after he took that advil,
he woke up twenty two days later, that's what he
said out his mouth. When you come under federal investigation,
they send you a target letter. You know, you get
informed that you're being investigated. So if you wanted to
tie up loose ins and you were concerned that people
(19:25):
that you knew could incriminate you, you may have interest
in eliminating them.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I mean, this is a rumor that has been flying
since over a year ago. This goes back to twenty
twenty three when he was in the middle of filming
that Netflix movie and suddenly was transported to intensive care
and we were hearing that there was a risk of
him dying. I mean, it was so serious. Big Homie
says that he knows this from personal experience for all
of his time in Hollywood and would not be surprised
whatsoever if Diddy is in fact behind this.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I mean, that's an insane, insane accusation. Here's the thing.
I'll beck it now. They're insane accusation just because I can.
I think this wouldn't even be the first person that did.
He's tried to off. I think he's the one responsible
for Biggie. I wouldn't be surprised if he had something
to do with Tupacas.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
There's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Literal skeletons here.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Yeah, fans literally lost themselves last night at the Post
Them Alone and Jelly Roll concert went down in Detroit
at Ford Field when none other than m came out.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Just such a cool moment.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I was watching a bunch of people's videos last night
and it was like, Oh, I love this song from
Jelly Roll.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Oh, it's such a good Jelly Roll EM and them,
the two clearly.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Have a really awesome friendship. Obviously not the first time
they performed together. Back during the big Michigan Central Station reopening,
we also saw Jelly and EM on stage together, and truthfully,
the two of them sounds so oh good.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I mean, honestly, it just works. The guy's got the
harmonies and that beautiful voice, and then Eminem brings the
hustle with it.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Finally, Gwyneth Paltrow is once again talking about that infamous
candle that was and is still on sale on.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Her Small Loop website.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
You know, the seventy five dollars downstairs candle is what
I will talk about. The actress and businesswoman who was
talking at the Mind Valley Manifesting Summit in La over
the weekend. Doesn't that sound like a very celeb thing
where the candle came up and she had a very
strong word for those people.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Took us a long time to live that one down,
but I kept it on the site because there is
an aspect to women's sexuality that I think we're socialized
to feel a lot of shame. And I sort of
loved this kind of punk rock idea, we are beautiful
and we are awesome and go for yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, you can still buy it.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Still buy the seventy five dollar candle if you feel
as empowered as Gwyneth Peltrow does.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
There is nothing punk rock about Gwyneth Palschrow.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
She did mention though, that it was never her intention
to post this. They were talking about it in her
business group as a joke, and then the next day
she suddenly realized that like one of her co founders
put it up there and it went wild. So I
don't know, I don't know, Luis it smells like, But
we don't need to get any further. All of your
celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
We are trying to get you out for an I
at the theater with our grand Rapid Civic Theater.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
This is Waitress. I know so many people that were
really excited when this one was announced. It runs June
sixth through June twenty ninth. Today's bantle of the sexist
question is going to score you tickets. One hundred men surveyed,
What is something you need to win the lottery?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Oh? Didn't we just get a guy from Michigan who
won because his wife's sent him on an erringemitting was Illinois.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
But if you listen to my feeling good earlier, yeah,
you went to get his wife a pomp decided to
buy a lot of ticket. It was worth a million bucks.
So probably not the number one answer, But y'all need
a spouse. You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
One hundred men surveyed, What is something.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
You need to win the lottery? Six one, six, four
five eight one oh five seven caller seven. If you've
got the number one answer, you are going to see
waitress at our grand Rapid Civic Theater.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Good morning too. It's Mack and Schmitty and I got
to talk about babysitty Schmitty. Oh yeah, specifically, how much
does it cost for a babysitter at this point in time?
Because my daughter. You know, she's feeling very entrepreneurial going
into the summer. She's twelve years old. She took a
big CPR and babysitter safety class, and she's looking to hustle, right.
She wants to be babysitted as much as possible, and
(23:41):
she actually got the chance to do some this weekend
with a friend of hers. That was really cool. But afterwards,
I was encouraging her to set up a goal, like
if she wanted to babysit a certain number of times
or make a certain amount of money. And so basically,
this little girl put out her own little business plan
about how many times she was going to babysit this summer,
how she was going to try and make this money.
And then it came time for how much she was
(24:01):
going to charge, and I was like, so what is it?
And she's like, oh, twenty dollars an hour.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
My daughter's twelve.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
And that's my reaction. I laughed out loud in her face,
and she's like, what that's a steal. It's okay, No,
it is schmitty, it is not. I asked this online.
I said, is ten dollars an hour enough to pay
a teenager? At this point in time to watch one
child for a few hours. And we got a bunch
(24:29):
of different responses down there. Jean said, seems like a
lot to me if they're not making meals or cleaning.
Sally says, I work in a factory for under twenty
bucks an hour. Pay that for babysitting. I don't think so.
But then Schmitty, there were a lot of people who said,
it's much more. Mary, the price is higher these days.
Mandy's saying fifteen to twenty five dollars an hour, depending
(24:53):
because things have gone up. Schmitty has inflation hit babysitting. Yes,
I'm not asking a bit sit here to bring eggs
over for me. Okay, I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Right, you're having them watch your human children, But that's okay.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
So then I got into it about daycare, because when
you break down the cost of daycare, anybody who's paid
for daycare knows how absolutely stink and expensive. It is
just ridiculous, winds up being more than your mortgage. You
pay your daycare less than ten dollars an hour to
watch each of your children.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Right, so this is convenience. You can go ahead and
pay eight dollars an hour to a sitter. I guarantee
you are not going to find a sitter very often
because they're going to know who you are. Like, now
that I've we're in a neighborhood for our first time,
and I can see it, like, I make sure to
pay what I consider is maybe a little bit more,
because every time I call that person, they're like, I
can absolutely watch them on a Friday night or a
(25:44):
Saturday night, or you're so sorry, this is super last
minute tonight. Absolutely, because you're paying for the opportunity to
be at.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
The top of their list.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
As I was telling my daughter this, I'm like, first off,
I'm like, there, I can tell you this. There's no
way your mom and I are paying you twenty bucks
if we're and you watch your brother, and she goes, fine,
you can't afford me.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Then oh, wait a minute, she's getting Oh I didn't
get paid anything to watch siblings. That was just honey,
do you see what you're wearing, where you're living, and
what you're eating.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I mean, I would love to encourage her little entrepreneurial spirit.
That being said, I feel like he's ripping people off
for skills. Here, what do you think a babysitter should
be paid In twenty twenty five, hit us up Facebook
and Instagram. Right now, we got the conversation going at
Less Michigan stock Well, this was a.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Very special Sunday Funday in Grand Rapids yesterday as they
joined riders in nearly one thousand cities worldwide for something
called the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride. These are bikers that ride
to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and
men's mental help. It actually started back in twenty twelve
(26:51):
in Sydney, Australia, and that's exactly it. You get dressed
in your finest and you ride for a cause. About
fifty bikers joined the crew in gr yesterday, riding from
Millennium Park all the way through downtown and then to
the Grand River where they ended at Archival Brewing, raising
thirty thousand bucks to support men's mental health and prostate cancer.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
So check this out.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Chris Layson, is actually a cancer survivor, tells Wood TV
why this is so important.
Speaker 11 (27:20):
One in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer
in their life. I'm one of those eight, so it's
personal for me. So it's a noble cause.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I enjoy it.
Speaker 11 (27:31):
I enjoy the fundraising. I feel like I'm contributing and
giving back, so it's important for me to do that.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Since the start of this thing, the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
has helped raise over fifty million dollars with nearly half
a million riders from one hundred and twenty one countries.
And I just think it is so cool we do
it right here in West Michigan.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
An awesome idea. I'm just imagining riding a bike at
a tucks right now, and I think it sounds hysterical.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Verry Don Draper, which was actually the entire inspiration behind this.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
That's awesome, Schmendi. I was today years old when I
learned you could capture lightning inside of sand.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
This is low.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I did not know this, but someplace where they know
it all too well is Mac mac Wood's Dune Ride team,
of course here in West Michigan, who offers those dune
buggy rides that we see all the billboards for all
the time every time I'm going out to Silver Lake
sand dunes. And they've found several of them over the
past several years, including recently a thirty inch foldger rite,
(28:32):
which is basically a petrified piece of sand that has
been struck by lightning. It's a natural glass formation that's
created when the lightning hits the sand. Like that really
really cool. But when they were prepping their dune buggy
trails this spring, they found the largest one they had
ever found, a thirty inch Longfolger Right, and that goes
along with several that they've been finding dating back all
(28:53):
the way to nineteen ninety seven. They actually think this
might be from that same batch back in nineteen ninety seven.
But this, this is over twenty five feet of fulgarite
that is now there is kind of like its own
fulgar Right museum. They're at mac Woods Dune Riding Display
there ninety five years. They've been in business over there, Schmidty,
(29:14):
and this is kind of like a new separate thing
that they've brought into their whole thing, and their customers
as well as people who are just interested in these
formations have been coming to see as they've got several
of them there on display. It's pretty awesome.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I mean, the art is really cool.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Plus I just think it's fascinating that you can trap
lightning in sand like that. Imagine the other night I
feel like Thursday. There should be a whole bunch of
these things out there right now. Anyway, we'll put this
up where you can check them out yourself. Really cool looking.
They actually kind of even look like lightning up at
West Michigan start docs where they in some place. Well
to know it all, well, Max is Max woods bach
(29:49):
ulright doing of course here of Michigan West. Those new
off Ruggy, Ruight, Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekdays
starting at six am on Star one oh five point
seven
Wake up.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It gets my day going.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
It makes me laugh.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I of it. Mac and Schmidty in the morning on
Star one oh five point seven, your good morning, Welcome
into a brand spanking new week. And honestly, I'm a
little disappointed.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
In Mother Nature, Schminny, I like, I'm not ready to
talk about it.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
All right, fair enough temperatures out there right now into
the low forties. Yes it is a chili went out there,
and a chili week awaits as it looks like temperatures
today can rise into the load of mid sixties, cloudy
skies today and really just looking at a kind of
cool week's rains mean.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
To cross our fingers Memorial Day week and looks terrible.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It does, it does.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
This week doesn't matter. I'm looking ahead.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
I've got people over, we had grilling out planned, we
had pool time plan and as of right now, we
really need the assist from mother Nature on that because
especially if you're planning to go up north, pack your
jeans and.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Hoodie, no kiddy, because last week, I mean, that's the
that stings so much, is because we had those eighty
degree days. Always does saventy degree days, and you were
just helping him, to save him for the long holiday weekend.
But you know, West Michigan has a tendency to change
its weather. So we'll see what.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Happens movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Man, there was just so much in Detroit over the weekend,
and that includes the hugely popular Motor City Comic Con
making its return. It was at the Suburban Collection show Place,
and honestly, I thought this was an absolutely stacked bunch
of people. We saw Jeremy Renner, Bill Ny the Science Guy,
Sean Aston, Maylon Akerman from all of the Superhero Marvel movies,
(01:44):
Bradley Whitford, Bryce Dallas Howard, Steve Burns aka Steve from
Blues Clues. But I had to point out two of
my favorites, which Stanley and Meredith from the Office, who
had nothing but really great things to say about people
in Michigan.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Costumes the fans.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
We did over two hundred episodes, so they are many,
many fond memories.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
One that sticks out this is the night we won
the Emmy for our Best Ensemble.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Nothing I ever quit in my coffee is going to
be as good as my nine.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Years on the office. Michiganders are awesome.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, they had a lot of really cool things to
say about being in Detroit TBC seven. It's one of
their favorite spots. A bunch of them made sure to say.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Man, I can't hear Stanley's voice and not just imagine
him as Stanley Hudson.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
And are the Cheerios commercials weird? Have you seen his
Cheerios commercials? And you're like, what are you doing out there,
Stanley Love.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
The seventy eighth Can Film.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Festival is underway, big stars on the red carpet, bringing
a lot of their new movies. But I wanted to
point this out because I thought it was a really
cool moment. Over the weekend, Jennifer Lawrence is back on
the world stage after taking some time away to start
her family, and she's in a new movie called Die
My Love alongside Robert Pantinson. They were doing a big
(03:00):
panel where she talked about how much motherhood has changed
her personally and professionally, with some really interesting advice for
fellow actors.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
Not only do they go into every decision of you know,
if I'm working, where I'm working, when I'm working, they've
taught me. I mean, I didn't know that I could
feel so much, and my job has a lot to
do with emotion, and they've opened up the world to me.
(03:33):
They've changed my life obviously for the best. I highly
recommend having kids if you want to be an actor.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
That was really cool, kind of the first time she's
gone in depth about motherhood.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I can also tell shes a mom because she sounds exhausted.
Okay for sure.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Finally, turn us down for a second. This is a
spoiler alert if you have not yet seen the American
Idol finale. Okay, I'm about to tell you the new
winner gave you a second all right. Season twenty three
coming to an end last night, revealing twenty seven year
old Mississippi gym teacher Jamal Roberts as the latest winner
(04:12):
of American Idol. That does mean John Foster and Brianna
Nicks were the runners up. With his win, Roberts becomes
the first black man to earn the title since season
two's Ruben Stuttered back in two thousand and three. I
was pretty impressive. He did performances with both Jelly Roll
and Luke Brian And speaking of Luke Brian, will the
(04:34):
judges be back for season twenty four. They caught up
with Carrie Underwood on the Red Carpet We will see.
I feel like there's a lot a lot of you know, contemplating,
and you know, you never know.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't know where the Good Lord's gonna take me,
but I'm glad I'm here.
Speaker 8 (04:49):
Man.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, Luke Brian also admitting that they are not in
talks at all whatsoever about next season.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's always you know, I feel like they had had
the stability more so than almost any other judges since
the original three back in the day until Katie Perry left,
and now I feel like it, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
It's all about in the air again. Yeah, all of
your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Selling a fine point seven. It's Mackachetty always looking to
bring a little positivity to your day with feeling good
right now and this is so sweet Schvetti. Two high
school seniors, Liliana and Vera and Evan jakobc both seniors
at Southington High School in Connecticut. Well, they were celebrating
their four month anniversary and they didn't do it like I,
(05:32):
you know, just a rotten teenager did with my girlfriends instead.
What they did Schiavetti as they went to Target and
then bought flowers, pens, note cards, not for each other though.
They actually then drove to Hartford Hospital and began placing
flowers and handwritten encouraging notes on the windshields of cars
in the parking lots. They told NBC Connecticut that the
(05:56):
messages were really really simple messages, but powerful if you
were that person who received it.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
One step at a time, get better.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You'll get through this. And then we gave away the
extra flowers to the lady work in the stands.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We didn't expect it to go viral.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
And how much does that right now?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Like five hundred k views and around one hundred k likes. Yeah,
that's right. The internet went and did it's thing. These
two uploaded They're a Good Deed online and it absolutely
took off there. But because it went viral, one of
the people who received one of those notes actually got
to find out who left it for. Her name was
Amel Zubdi, and she had actually been in the hospital
(06:34):
for ten days with her daughter going through a very
very serious situation, and after a very long day, she
said she received the note and it made a huge
difference for her.
Speaker 9 (06:46):
When I read the note, it was so nice someone
feel my pain without knowing anything, and he told me
you are not alone. You made our life like beautiful
nice And some people leave that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Some people need that. And at just the right moment,
Lillian and Evan just saying that their goal is just
to bring joy to somebody's day and that they definitely did.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
All right.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
This isn't necessarily a make you feel good. This is
a always run the errands for your wife because it
could score you a million bucks.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
River Grove, Illinois, one.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Lucky player has officially won just that, all because his
wife wanted a drink. The lucky player, who of course
is working to remain anonymous, has only nicknamed himself Faithful
fifty six, said he purchased a life changing scratch off
ticket at a Shell gas station in River Grove, Illinois,
and according to officials, that was a million dollar winner
(07:41):
for the game jumbo bucks. Faithful fifty six says it
wasn't even his idea. He was just going to be
sent at home on the couch. He said, my wife
wanted a pop, so I ran out to a nearby
gas station and at the checkout. I decided to pick
up a couple of scratch off tickets.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Boom.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
He said the shock of the jack didn't come until
he was at home scanned it to make double sure.
His wife, even more stunned, still didn't believe him. After
he scanned it and showed her the winner, she thought
it was all a huge prank. Actually had to go
two lottery officials before she actually believed they had.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Won a million bucks.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
So our loving hubbies, when we ask you to go
and do something for us, it could literally be life changing.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You're welcome. That's a good honey dew Aaron right there
for sure, schmiddy. Do you would you believe your husband
if he said he had a million dollars a lot
of ticket I don't think my wife would believe me either.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I don't know if i'd tell my husband right up
the book. But that's just because I'm in a very
loving relationship. So you can check it out West Michigan

It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
It feels like at this point it's just expected.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
If there's a big artist at ford Field, You pay
your honor to the.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Goat, and that is what happened last night.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Post Malone and jelly Roll continued their tour at ford
Field in the d and Jelly bringing out none other
than Eminem. I mean that video from the Detroit Free Press.
(09:27):
The crowd lost their ever loving minds as the two
artists performed Lose Yourself Together.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Not the first time.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Remember, jelly Roll performed for Eminem during that Michigan Central
Station reopening that was set for last year.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's just really weird to watch those videos and be like,
he's a grandfather.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Stop itchmid.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
This is a really interesting story.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
This morning, Law and Order s v U actress Mariska
Hargatea has revealed her biological father is not Mickey Hart,
the man who raised her alongside mom Jane Mansfield, but
instead some famous Italian singer and comedian. So Mariska is
in a new interview with Vanity Fair. She's talking about
(10:12):
this huge documentary she's been working on called My Mom Jane,
and confirms her biological dad is actually Italian singer Nelson Sardelli.
She shared her Mom Jane had a brief relationship with
Sardelli after separating from Mickey, but then Mansfield later reconciled
with Mickey before Merisca was born and he raised her
(10:33):
as his daughter Pargatae. So she discovered the truth actually
in her twenties after seeing a photo of this comedian
and being like West, Carol looks a lot like me.
But when she brought it up to Mickey, he insisted
that he was indeed her biological father. Topic was never
discussed again before Mickey passed back in two thousand and six,
and that's when the truth came out. And this will
(10:55):
all be covered in this documentary.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Wow, that's crazy, right man loves Wild Run.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Yeah, finally, if you do ads supported Netflix, it is
about to get real irritating. In fact, the beta testing
of this new idea already has customers pretty upset. The
streaming giant is launching AI ads that will actually blend
in with the content you're watching, so a product could
(11:21):
appear over a background that would be inspired by like
Stranger Things. It's not all that Netflix is preparing to
roll out. They're also going to.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Do pause ads. I was wondering when this was going
to hit.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
So you know you're watching your show, you hit pause
it's not going to be a free screen. You're going
to have an AD and a lot of it is
going to be integrated into the things that you're watching.
So far, the people that have had this served to
them say, nobody likes AI. Guess it's time to cancel
my subscription. At this point, I am canceling all of
my streaming and just buying DBDs.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Why don't you just beam the signals about what I
have to buy right into my brain?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
At this point, crazy, I'm interested to see what this
product placement looks like, because that just if that's the
tip of the iceberg on AI, I'm just not gonna
believe anything.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I ever watched?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Is that a bar of doves? So far with the
Millennium falcon? Like, what are we doing? People?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
All right, all of your celevscoo, but West Michigan start up?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Hut, good morning, see you. It's Mack and schmidting in
a wedding weekend.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Uh yeah, we went up north. It was a family
wedding for Chris's side. It was nice. I just was
so unprepared for what my seven year old son did.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
He slow danced with.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
A girl for the first time.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I was wondering whether yes, when you said that your
mama heart was like in tears over this. I wasn't
sure whether it was he asked you to dance, or
whether he danced with the girl.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
No, I think I'm already off the coolest. It was shocking.
So it was this really cool.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Barn wedding and we didn't know. We didn't know a
ton of people there.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
We knew like our side, like Chris's side of the family,
but there was a ton of because they're young.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
There was a ton of their college friends.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That were there. Her out of the family.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
We hadn't really met her before this, so he didn't
know like anybody there.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
There weren't that many kids. There were maybe four kids
all together.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I was wild.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
So Chris's cousin Amy, who we love, was like, hey, buddy,
why don't you why don't.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You come dance with me.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I'll show you how to slow dance, and he was
like learning how you know, you grab the waist and
hold the hand.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It was really really cute.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
So I'm standing off to the side and all of
a sudden, I watch him walk over to this, by
the way older woman. They were not the same age.
She was definitely like a foot taller.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
And I was like, what is he doing?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
And he says something to her and like takes her
hand and the two of them go out on the
dance floor and they slow danced for four songs and
then danced for another like three regular upbeat songs.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
What was wrong with the DJ?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Believe it?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
And I'm standing there, like Chris walks in from out
on the patio and he's like, where's will I go?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
He's dancing with a woman.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
This is like, okay, calm down, crazy, But he was
so gentlemanly and kind. And then I saw her like
say something to him, and then he twirled her.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
So I did how to like dance with her own life.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Way to go, buddy.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
It feels like, just as it got to like just
the the you know, epitome of the moment, his wonderful
little sister walked up and just butted right.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
In between them.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Hey, you know what jealousy.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Then the three of them began to dance.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
It was so cute, and like everybody was coming up
and they were like, oh my gosh, is that your son.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm like, he's only seven. I wasn't ready for this.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
And then we get home yesterday and I said, did
you have a good time with the wedding buddy? He said, oh,
it was so much fun. And I said, did you
enjoy dancing with your new friend? He goes yeah, and
I said what's her name? And he goes, I have
no idea. And I was like, okay, well we almost
made it the fully romantic thing. But it was very,
very sweet, and I just oh, it's one of those
(15:03):
moments as a parent you're.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Reminded blink of an eye.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Man, I feel like the last time we were at
a wedding, he was two and just barely walking onto
a dance floor, and now he's as girls ah.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Coming out there. Hey will smooth, buddy, and I will
say that the dance floor is where magic happens.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
All right.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I met my wife on a dance floor. Having those
skills will pay off big time.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Well, it was really nice to see he already mastered
like the high school dancing, which was seventeen feet apart
while you're barely touching each other and you're so nervous,
but oh it was so dang sweet. And I'm just
over here, like when does it happen? Like when am
I officially dropping him off two blocks away from school,
(15:45):
so nobody sees me pretending that we're not related in
any way, shape or form.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
And I think the next big thing is.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
The side hug.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Hey, you know what, I'm just happy that you also
didn't get jealous of this woman schmitdy like it was Hey,
hands off my shot?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Okay, kind of, let's noon.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
But yeah, it was a very big weekend.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
This is also probably my last opportunity to talk about
these things before he gets really upset that I talk
about them on the radio.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Here are the facts, a banglade, let's jump into the
week's most ridic you lissdie cedar point.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Animals escape from the petting zoo third time in one year.
First it was camels, then it was goats, and now
al pacas were on the run.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Honestly, that's going to make the line a lot more entertaining.
Registration opened for clothing optional five k in South Carolina. Schmitty, Yeah, honestly,
I'm not creeped out by the people who don't wear clothes.
I'm creeped out by the people who sign up wearing clothes.
That's a little creepy.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Ad bine, Uh Layla Noon is a circus performer that
has just broken the world record for being hung by
her hair.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Okay, you guys want to.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Talk about my buns? This woman is next level. She
hung for twenty three minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Ad bye, Texas Cat's keen sigenniia goes viral. A Houston
woman yes through a keen signia for her cat's fifteenth birthday,
complete with an entrance in a remote controlled Bentley, a
father daughter dance, and a Marianchi ban schmidty.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Actually the Bentley's cute.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I mean, that seems like a lot of effort just
to scare your cat into hiding under the couch for
a few hours.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Asie, oh, it's only in England. A student brings a
World War two hand grenade for show and tell. Uh huh, yeah,
it seems like this is a real problem. An elementary
school in England forced to evacuate after a student brought
a World War two era hand grenade. The school's teacher, however,
jumped into action, carrying the weapon out of the building
(17:53):
and placing it behind which she figured was.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
The biggest tree. Like I hope that it was cool.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Intel ever sadbye? All right, finally, skydiver drops iPhone from
fourteen thousand feet. Guess what, It still works perfectly fine,
not a scratch on it. Meanwhile, I'm walking around with
a broken screen because it fell out of my pockat
Smitty Nedbine. That's this week's headlines. You're sending great ones
out there, always said them our way at West Michigan,
(18:21):
Star on Facebook and Instagram, Dies.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
It's the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Well, today we enter week two of the Diddy trial
in New York, and over the weekend, allegations have resurfaced
that Puff Daddy poisoned Jamie fox and that is what
landed the legendary actor and rapper in the hospital. So
this is very interesting. He's talked about this before. This
is Bodyguard, former celebrity bodyguard, Big Homie, and he was
(18:56):
on Pierce Morgan over the weekend, something that they've been
trying to connect with him for a while.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
When he had this to say.
Speaker 10 (19:02):
Jamie Foxx said out of his mouth that his partner
handed him an advil, and after he took that advil,
he woke up twenty two days later, that's what he
said out his mouth. When you come under federal investigation,
they send you a target letter. You know, you get
informed that you're being investigated. So if you wanted to
tie up loose ins and you were concerned that people
(19:25):
that you knew could incriminate you, you may have interest
in eliminating them.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I mean, this is a rumor that has been flying
since over a year ago. This goes back to twenty
twenty three when he was in the middle of filming
that Netflix movie and suddenly was transported to intensive care
and we were hearing that there was a risk of
him dying. I mean, it was so serious. Big Homie
says that he knows this from personal experience for all
of his time in Hollywood and would not be surprised
whatsoever if Diddy is in fact behind this.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I mean, that's an insane, insane accusation. Here's the thing.
I'll beck it now. They're insane accusation just because I can.
I think this wouldn't even be the first person that did.
He's tried to off. I think he's the one responsible
for Biggie. I wouldn't be surprised if he had something
to do with Tupacas.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
There's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Literal skeletons here.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Yeah, fans literally lost themselves last night at the Post
Them Alone and Jelly Roll concert went down in Detroit
at Ford Field when none other than m came out.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Just such a cool moment.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I was watching a bunch of people's videos last night
and it was like, Oh, I love this song from
Jelly Roll.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Oh, it's such a good Jelly Roll EM and them,
the two clearly.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Have a really awesome friendship. Obviously not the first time
they performed together. Back during the big Michigan Central Station reopening,
we also saw Jelly and EM on stage together, and truthfully,
the two of them sounds so oh good.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I mean, honestly, it just works. The guy's got the
harmonies and that beautiful voice, and then Eminem brings the
hustle with it.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Finally, Gwyneth Paltrow is once again talking about that infamous
candle that was and is still on sale on.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Her Small Loop website.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
You know, the seventy five dollars downstairs candle is what
I will talk about. The actress and businesswoman who was
talking at the Mind Valley Manifesting Summit in La over
the weekend. Doesn't that sound like a very celeb thing
where the candle came up and she had a very
strong word for those people.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Took us a long time to live that one down,
but I kept it on the site because there is
an aspect to women's sexuality that I think we're socialized
to feel a lot of shame. And I sort of
loved this kind of punk rock idea, we are beautiful
and we are awesome and go for yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, you can still buy it.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Still buy the seventy five dollar candle if you feel
as empowered as Gwyneth Peltrow does.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
There is nothing punk rock about Gwyneth Palschrow.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
She did mention though, that it was never her intention
to post this. They were talking about it in her
business group as a joke, and then the next day
she suddenly realized that like one of her co founders
put it up there and it went wild. So I
don't know, I don't know, Luis it smells like, But
we don't need to get any further. All of your
celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
We are trying to get you out for an I
at the theater with our grand Rapid Civic Theater.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
This is Waitress. I know so many people that were
really excited when this one was announced. It runs June
sixth through June twenty ninth. Today's bantle of the sexist
question is going to score you tickets. One hundred men surveyed,
What is something you need to win the lottery?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Oh? Didn't we just get a guy from Michigan who
won because his wife's sent him on an erringemitting was Illinois.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
But if you listen to my feeling good earlier, yeah,
you went to get his wife a pomp decided to
buy a lot of ticket. It was worth a million bucks.
So probably not the number one answer, But y'all need
a spouse. You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
One hundred men surveyed, What is something.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
You need to win the lottery? Six one, six, four
five eight one oh five seven caller seven. If you've
got the number one answer, you are going to see
waitress at our grand Rapid Civic Theater.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Good morning too. It's Mack and Schmitty and I got
to talk about babysitty Schmitty. Oh yeah, specifically, how much
does it cost for a babysitter at this point in time?
Because my daughter. You know, she's feeling very entrepreneurial going
into the summer. She's twelve years old. She took a
big CPR and babysitter safety class, and she's looking to hustle, right.
She wants to be babysitted as much as possible, and
(23:41):
she actually got the chance to do some this weekend
with a friend of hers. That was really cool. But afterwards,
I was encouraging her to set up a goal, like
if she wanted to babysit a certain number of times
or make a certain amount of money. And so basically,
this little girl put out her own little business plan
about how many times she was going to babysit this summer,
how she was going to try and make this money.
And then it came time for how much she was
(24:01):
going to charge, and I was like, so what is it?
And she's like, oh, twenty dollars an hour.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
My daughter's twelve.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
And that's my reaction. I laughed out loud in her face,
and she's like, what that's a steal. It's okay, No,
it is schmitty, it is not. I asked this online.
I said, is ten dollars an hour enough to pay
a teenager? At this point in time to watch one
child for a few hours. And we got a bunch
(24:29):
of different responses down there. Jean said, seems like a
lot to me if they're not making meals or cleaning.
Sally says, I work in a factory for under twenty
bucks an hour. Pay that for babysitting. I don't think so.
But then Schmitty, there were a lot of people who said,
it's much more. Mary, the price is higher these days.
Mandy's saying fifteen to twenty five dollars an hour, depending
(24:53):
because things have gone up. Schmitty has inflation hit babysitting. Yes,
I'm not asking a bit sit here to bring eggs
over for me. Okay, I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Right, you're having them watch your human children, But that's okay.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
So then I got into it about daycare, because when
you break down the cost of daycare, anybody who's paid
for daycare knows how absolutely stink and expensive. It is
just ridiculous, winds up being more than your mortgage. You
pay your daycare less than ten dollars an hour to
watch each of your children.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Right, so this is convenience. You can go ahead and
pay eight dollars an hour to a sitter. I guarantee
you are not going to find a sitter very often
because they're going to know who you are. Like, now
that I've we're in a neighborhood for our first time,
and I can see it, like, I make sure to
pay what I consider is maybe a little bit more,
because every time I call that person, they're like, I
can absolutely watch them on a Friday night or a
(25:44):
Saturday night, or you're so sorry, this is super last
minute tonight. Absolutely, because you're paying for the opportunity to
be at.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
The top of their list.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
As I was telling my daughter this, I'm like, first off,
I'm like, there, I can tell you this. There's no
way your mom and I are paying you twenty bucks
if we're and you watch your brother, and she goes, fine,
you can't afford me.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Then oh, wait a minute, she's getting Oh I didn't
get paid anything to watch siblings. That was just honey,
do you see what you're wearing, where you're living, and
what you're eating.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I mean, I would love to encourage her little entrepreneurial spirit.
That being said, I feel like he's ripping people off
for skills. Here, what do you think a babysitter should
be paid In twenty twenty five, hit us up Facebook
and Instagram. Right now, we got the conversation going at
Less Michigan stock Well, this was a.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Very special Sunday Funday in Grand Rapids yesterday as they
joined riders in nearly one thousand cities worldwide for something
called the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride. These are bikers that ride
to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and
men's mental help. It actually started back in twenty twelve
(26:51):
in Sydney, Australia, and that's exactly it. You get dressed
in your finest and you ride for a cause. About
fifty bikers joined the crew in gr yesterday, riding from
Millennium Park all the way through downtown and then to
the Grand River where they ended at Archival Brewing, raising
thirty thousand bucks to support men's mental health and prostate cancer.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
So check this out.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Chris Layson, is actually a cancer survivor, tells Wood TV
why this is so important.
Speaker 11 (27:20):
One in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer
in their life. I'm one of those eight, so it's
personal for me. So it's a noble cause.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I enjoy it.
Speaker 11 (27:31):
I enjoy the fundraising. I feel like I'm contributing and
giving back, so it's important for me to do that.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Since the start of this thing, the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
has helped raise over fifty million dollars with nearly half
a million riders from one hundred and twenty one countries.
And I just think it is so cool we do
it right here in West Michigan.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
An awesome idea. I'm just imagining riding a bike at
a tucks right now, and I think it sounds hysterical.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Verry Don Draper, which was actually the entire inspiration behind this.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
That's awesome, Schmendi. I was today years old when I
learned you could capture lightning inside of sand.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
This is low.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I did not know this, but someplace where they know
it all too well is Mac mac Wood's Dune Ride team,
of course here in West Michigan, who offers those dune
buggy rides that we see all the billboards for all
the time every time I'm going out to Silver Lake
sand dunes. And they've found several of them over the
past several years, including recently a thirty inch foldger rite,
(28:32):
which is basically a petrified piece of sand that has
been struck by lightning. It's a natural glass formation that's
created when the lightning hits the sand. Like that really
really cool. But when they were prepping their dune buggy
trails this spring, they found the largest one they had
ever found, a thirty inch Longfolger Right, and that goes
along with several that they've been finding dating back all
(28:53):
the way to nineteen ninety seven. They actually think this
might be from that same batch back in nineteen ninety seven.
But this, this is over twenty five feet of fulgarite
that is now there is kind of like its own
fulgar Right museum. They're at mac Woods Dune Riding Display
there ninety five years. They've been in business over there, Schmidty,
(29:14):
and this is kind of like a new separate thing
that they've brought into their whole thing, and their customers
as well as people who are just interested in these
formations have been coming to see as they've got several
of them there on display. It's pretty awesome.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I mean, the art is really cool.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Plus I just think it's fascinating that you can trap
lightning in sand like that. Imagine the other night I
feel like Thursday. There should be a whole bunch of
these things out there right now. Anyway, we'll put this
up where you can check them out yourself. Really cool looking.
They actually kind of even look like lightning up at
West Michigan start docs where they in some place. Well
to know it all, well, Max is Max woods bach
(29:49):
ulright doing of course here of Michigan West. Those new
off Ruggy, Ruight, Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekdays
starting at six am on Star one oh five point
