Speaker 1 (00:07):
It gets my day going and makes me laugh of it.
Mac and Schmidty in the Morning on Star one oh
five point seven. Well, good morning, good morning, welcome into
your Friday, and things are already falling apart for you
over there.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
This doesn't happen. Can you even hear me?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Okay, guys, Schminny's microphone is falling off of its stands,
so she's currently holding it like imagine an influencer er
influencer online who's holding the microphone next to her mouth
while they're talking to the video, except for her microphone.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
On Facebook right now. Okay, so this is this is helpful.
That's where it's supposed to be. This is where it's
supposed to be. This is where it is. I can't
oh man, I can't hear myself very well.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
So I'm not sure you're doing great. I'm impressed.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Can I go hope? Is that allowed equipment failure?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I think the show is.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Done for me.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It seems legit and I would be too distraught to
continue on without you.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Right, It's gonna be a good Friday, you guys.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place. It's
the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Well, today is a big day for that controversial movie
Russ to This is the Alec Baldwin movie that unfortunately
led to the accidental shooting death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins.
It does hit US theaters today. However, instead of maybe
celebrating the fact that it was finally finished, director Joel
Suza is now saying he wishes he had never made
(01:33):
the movie at all. So Joel was in the hospital
after being a part of that accidental shooting, and he
is now sitting down with the Guardian talking about that tragedy,
calling it a domino effect of bad decisions one after
the other, and he wishes he never went back to
Rust post shooting, even though Helena's family definitely wanted it
(01:56):
to be done and finished and given to the public.
Now comes to Baldwin, Joel says they have not spoken
a word to each other since everything with the shooting ended.
He says, we're not enemies, we're not friends, we just
have zero contact. Rust gets a limited theatrical release today
(02:17):
before heading to streaming on Apple TV and Prime Video.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I mean, if it weren't for the part about Helena
Hutchins family, wanting this to be finished. I really wish
this movie would have just I don't think they would have.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I mean, even Joel said I'm not going to do this,
and then it was Helena's husband that was like, no,
let's finish this. She enjoyed the work. I don't think
otherwise it ever would have been made.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Public like this outside of a morbid curiosity. Who wants
to see this movie? Now?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So, Denzel Washington a big snub for the Tony Awards.
The seventy eighth annual Tony Award nominations came out shortly
after the show yesterday, and despite his Powerhouse Broadway return,
he was getting absolutely rave reviews. In a fellow Denzel
snumped in the Best Actor category. Now, George Clooney did
(03:05):
grab a nom, which is good because remember that's why
he died his air. While Denzel's been nominated for a
Tony twice before, his co star Jake Gillenhall also left out.
Robert Downey Junior missing on a nomination for his Broadway
debut in McNeil. But there is some good news. Sadie
Sink got an Tony nam, Sarah Snook Nicole Shirt Singer
(03:29):
and this is really cool news. Audra McDonald just made
history now officially the most Tony nominated actor of all time.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Thinking about Denzel not getting one while Clooney does exactly,
it's just kind of off putting. I hope on right
he goes training day, Denzel.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I believe. All right, now, let's keep this PG. I
did my best, but the story was too wild not
to do. Nick Cannon, the infamous baby Daddy, I've lost track.
I think guest fifteen or sixteen kids now is up
that high has decided to ensure his nether region. He
has joined the Tea Time with Raven and Miranda podcast.
(04:09):
This is Raven Simone's pot and while the rumor had
been swirling for the last few weeks, Nick says, it's
not rumor, it's backed. So we heard that you took
out a ten million dollar insurance policy.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
That's not a rumor, it is all facts.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Okay, So how to explain.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Funny enough? I mean it started off like, yo, this
would be a good joke. What we really went through
with the doctor. They were like, yo, a lot of
celebrity women are ensuring their legs in case something goes wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
They were like, well, what's your most valuable asset mob.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
So he's got a ten million dollar insurance policy on
his ability to continue having children. Also made it very
clear he is letting God, how many more kids you
will be having? All Right, We're just gonna I feel
like I needed to do that story. All right, all
of you were celeb scoop at West Michigan startup.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It's starting a five points yeah, and it's Mack and
Schmidty and in my daydream Schmitty, I'm an action star, right,
I talk profusely about my want to be Indiana Jones.
I'd settle for like a Bad Boys movie or something
like that, because this is straight out of an action
movie where you see the star just jump into the
back of a speeding vehicle, right on the back of
a train, in a boat, in a car. Tom Cruise,
(05:32):
very Tom Cruise. Well, it was an officer in Sarasota,
Florida that got to have their Tom Cruise movement on
a runaway boat earlier this week down there in Sarasota
travel at about forty miles per hour after the operator
of the boat was thrown out of it. So there's
nobody in the boat. It's going like sixty miles an
hour in circles. Eventually a see toe was able to
(05:54):
slow it down a little bit, and then they tried
to match the speed so that an officer could jump
into the speeding boats at forty miles an hour and
finally put it to a stop. The video is unsinsane,
I mean, and I gotta give them props too, because
while there isn't a sound in the video where you
get to hear the action and all that stuff going on,
they did set it to.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Why will find there is a video with sound?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Oh really, with the officer talking and.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Stuff, and you see you can hear him jump and
then you hear the other officers in the boat cheering.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I'll get it up for you, wesns. You can start
dot com because this is the one that I found
right here, So that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
There is a fit check going viral. Not sure what
a fit check is? Well, neither did seventy two year
old Greg Green, who has now gone viral after his
granddaughter shared a video of his first ever fit check
and man, oh man, he really nails it. Can I
do it with a fit check?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
A fitchick?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yes? How do you do a fit chick?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
You just is that what you're wearing and let us
know where it's from.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
This is a coat, this coat is This is a sweater.
It's for the weapon. These are levis in their minds,
quest shoes. They're brooks under these urns. I have guns,
but I'm not low knit.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Today. I'm going out to dinner. I don't want to
hurt anybody.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Not just the rhyming, but the flexing that dinner ensemble.
Greg has now received thousands of comments from people asking
can we do this every day? Grandpa? You're looking good.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I mean, at some point you're no longer embarrassed by
the elders in your life doing things like this. You're
just proud. Also gonna smile.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Besides the fit check, this guy is fit as heck.
He's looking really good for something too.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
All right, coming up, feeling good. We'll always be here
for you to bring you some positivity. We'll do it
again coming up at nine to twenty this morning. Here
on Star Movies, Music and all the gossip in one place.
It's the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Well, the criminal trial will proceed. Did he back in
court yesterday for one final hearing? Telling the judge he
is rejecting a plead deal presented to him by federal prosecutors,
and it was kind of a surprise to a lot
of people that thought he would take it. The Bad
Boy Records founder strolled into the courtroom waving to the public,
(08:20):
looking very very confident, and he was in good spirits,
very unfazed by the upcoming trial that will start next week.
Did he also asked if he was aware he would
potentially serve more time in prison if convicted than if
he took a plead deal, and did He told the
judge he understands fully what is at stake, not exactly
(08:42):
sure the full offer from prosecutors typically, excuse me, offer
a sentence close to what the defendant would receive if convicted,
But prosecutors are hoping and wanting to guard against the
grounds for appeal, which is why they offered this in
the first place. Not the case this is headed to court.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, I'd be really interested to hear what the plea
deal was specifically, just because you know, if they said, oh,
you know what, instead of forty years, we'll give you
twenty five guaranteed and we just end this whole thing
right now. I can see why he would say no
to that, But if it was like, oh yeah, you'll
get out in five years, I'd be surprised if his
lawyers weren't like, take it, take it, take it, take it,
take it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
He's facing five charges on things from trafficking to transportation
and engaging in bluffling things and racketeering, which all of
those carried quite a hefty sentence. Speaking of court, Kanye
West is suing his former dentist. This is a very
interesting story. Kanye claims he has suffered injuries and financial
(09:44):
damage due to an alleged reckless administration of nitrous oxide.
The Rappers legal team has sent a notice of intention
to sue doctor Thomas P.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Connolly.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
He became Yay's dentist early last year. Yay's team claims
he was under connolly care and the dentist engaged in
numerous inappropriate and dangerous practices that were far outside the
bounds of any legitimate medical purpose or standard of care.
Among the alleged misbehavior, Connolly gave him excessive amounts of
(10:15):
nitrous oxide for non medical purposes. They had unsupervised self
administration of gas prescriptions for Kanye and the doctor noticed
adverse neurological behavioral signs and then just like ended it
cold turkey, which did even more damage to Kanye. His wife,
Bianca Sensori, is also listed in this lawsuit. She was
(10:38):
harmed in the process as well, saying that she lost
out on companionship because of this addiction. And that's the
word they're using. This is really interesting. Kanye's ex chief
of staff, Milo Yanopolis has spoken before about Kanye constantly
discussing nitrous oxide in meetings. He's talked about how it
has turned his mood unpredictable and has completely changed his actions.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
You know, that's what is commonly known as laughing gas
at a dentist's office like that. And I can't believe that,
you know, he was getting refills of this stuff to
take with you elsewhere. That's what they give you before
they do a filling or a root canal or something
like that to avoid you know, pain, and it, I mean,
I just it makes you wonder whether that was part
of this drug stuck.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
They're also talking about.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Propofol oh that was the Michael Jackson drug.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Could be a very very interesting lawsuit given Kanye's behavior
of the last couple of years. Finally, Vince Vaughn is
sharing a little known Hollywood secret. Actor al Pacino smells delicious.
He was on the Jimmy Fallon Tonight's show promoting their
new Netflix movie Nanas, which premieres next week on Netflix.
(11:51):
I'm really excited about that, by the way, And this
is what he had to say.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I have to say this. He smells fabulous. He does.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
He smells like a high end COLONNEU on our Italy.
He has an incredible smell. The whole aroma is unbelievable. Really, yes,
people would notice this. I mean many things about him.
He's a tremendous guy, very very easy to be around.
But smells matter. And yeah, he smells matter.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Did he tell me a.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Lot of people to put be around us and tell
him that he smelled fantastic?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
He smells fantastic. He smell.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Then, so the question would come up, which is you
know where, what do you what's the clone right?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
What are you wearing? What's that tight lip?
Speaker 5 (12:26):
He'd say, I have to try to remember he doesn't
want to share that. He doesn't want to share that
fabulous smell. Have to h he would Then he would say,
I'm trying to leave a legacy, so he was protecting
his smells.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Isn't that fantastic? I want to smell al Pacino.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
That's a great Patino story.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Didn't know that For a Friday morning all of your
celect scoop at West Michigan's start off.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Ones morning too. It's back in Schmidty and you're looking
at banishment from something in your household.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
We are not. I think they are some of the
most fun things for kids ever. But my husband Chris
hate and when I use the word hate, I don't
use a lightly, hates bubbles, bubble. He is thinking of
banning bubbles. And I'm just curious if there is something
at your house or something your kids play with that
(13:11):
your spousor partner cannot stand. Chris hates bubbles, and it's
it's really become a thing now because like Will's birthday,
Sophia's birthday, Easter, we got bubbles. They've got a new
bubble machine. Uh to back that's what I said, to
back up their other two bubble machines. They've got a
bubble Like, oh my gosh, Chris hates bubbles.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
How do you think they're sticky?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
They get everywhere they make things slippery. He's like, there's
constantly bubble things sitting everywhere, the little plastic containers, the lids,
the stupid wands. He cannot stand bubbles. It has become
like his entire personality.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I think this is I've never met a person who
has a visceral reaction, Yes, sir, perfect word for it.
Bubbles before super odd. What a what a weird thing
to have a passionate.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
He was gonna like hide them or try to throw
them away. He's like, I'm not doing I'm not doing bubbles.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Is there trauma? Did he not get bubbles as a child.
I don't know how it can't have a warm spot
in your heart for bubbles.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I don't know what it is. But being the person
and spouse I am, I went and bought triple the
amount of bubbles I normally would.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's like a peanut allergy. You want to get them
over it, you give them the peanuts. You're doing it
and then.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Well that's not medical advice, by the way, But I
and then I would just look at him with this
smirk as she opened package after package of bubbles. He
just can't do it. And we have girls on the
run and they were doing their practice through Rockford earlier
this week, and I set up all of our bubble
machines and we did the sidewalk chalks. They could run
through the bab all but those girls loved it. He
(14:47):
just sat in his office with a scowl. Look at
all those bubbles. Bubbles are getting on my car, Bubbles
are getting on the porch. We've got a tile porch.
Someone's gonna slip. They're gonna sue us. They can't handle bubble.
Is there anything your kids have or play with it?
You are that hardcore again?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
No, my wife is for ones, but I feel like
she's got a legitimate reason. It's not bubbles. We have
those orbie guns, those little water bead shooters.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Oh I don't know those.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Oh it's like a machine gun for little tiny water pellets.
And uh they sting, okay, and actually does sound like
it could hurt. It does sting a little bit when
you get shot. And my wife hates them because a
they're shape play guns, which is like right off the bat.
She hates and I understand that one. But they're so
fun and and we we wind up always shooting each other.
(15:36):
It's a rule in the house that you're not allowed
to shoot anyone else. And then it always devolves into that,
and then my wife is screaming from the porch to
put them down, and how she's throwing them away.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
See, yeah, I can. That's different than bubbles. I think
than bubbles is just unhappy, not afraid. Oh no, no,
not afraid.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
You know, the anger.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Just can't stand. I don't know. He doesn't like the
texture of them, he doesn't like that they're everywhere, they
get in your hair, your face. I mean, we caught
one of our kids sipping bubbles a couple of years ago.
That's probably not good because we're not buying high end bubbles.
I'm sure they're.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Watching get pretty interesting though, But yeah, bubbles.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I don't know. You guys, something weirder than bubbles that
you just can't handle from your childhood. Give us a
call at four eight one oh five seven.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I really hope there's somebody out there that's that's like,
you know what, I hate hula hoops. All that gyration
has been bothering me since the Dawn of tow Rare Bubbles.
Odd Mack and Schmidty in the Morning on Star one
oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Time Spilling Tea tay time spill the too, sweetheart, Let's
do this.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It's Friday, which means it's time to dive into your tea.
Go ahead and spill it. And this one Schmitty is
a pet owner. I I don't know what the right
answer is in this, and I've kind of got a
different vibe than what I think. The person who wrote
into us is really kind of letting on here, says
Mack and Schmidti, I'm witnessing high tech canine warfare. My
(16:55):
boyfriend's next door neighbor moved in a few months back,
and he hates my boyfriend's dogs, two small Boston Terriers,
and they bark sometimes, but not any more than most dogs.
No other neighbor has ever complained, but this guy's been
complaining constantly at anything more than like ten seconds of barking.
At first, my boyfriend was polite, but then the guy
got one of those ultrasonic bark stopper laser things and
(17:20):
started pointing it at my boyfriend's dogs while they were
in the backyard. My boyfriend flipped out on the guy
and called the cops, who took his info but didn't
do anything. The devices claim to be safe for pets,
but you don't mess with someone else's dog.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I've never even heard of these.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I had to google it, and it's true. They're all
over Amazon, and they claim safe for humans, save for pets.
And it's basically an ultrasonic signal that you aim towards
the dogs directly in it, I think I emit some
frequency that is supposed to get the dogs to stop barking.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
You don't need a collar anything.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
You don't need a collar or anything so.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Insanely dangerous to be anyone else's dogs.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I mean, but and I guess the tone that I
took from this first off, I think it's so messed up.
You're doing something to somebody else's property, to somebody else's dog.
Now legal, you would think, so. I thought it was
interesting that, you know, the cops didn't do anything. I
don't know if you got to catch a person in
the act. But the other part of me is like,
I bet you these dogs bark a lot. When this
person says that, you know, oh, anything more than like
(18:23):
ten seconds. Ten seconds of barking is a long time
if it happens repeatedly over and over a little Boston
terriers and being two of them I have this feeling
that the barking problem is a lot worse than what
the person who wrote in is Televis Schmidty. I'm not sure,
but six one six, four five eight one oh five seven.
This is also going on Facebook right now too.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Sarah from Grand Rapids on the line right now, Sarah,
what do you think would you what would you do
if this were your dog?
Speaker 6 (18:51):
I mean definitely the first thing is talk to like
their vet to see like, what, what's what could happen?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
And then if if it's going to be like a
long term effects of like long term negative effects, maybe
it's not actually doing anything. Maybe it is either way,
Like I would go to the vet first.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, I get you know, I'm not I'm going straight
to the cops because I mean, if I could say
it's it's not doing anything, I'm like, there's still pointing
something at my dogs.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, it's it's it's your property, right. Todd on the
line from Grandville, What do you think, Todd?
Speaker 6 (19:22):
I would take my German shepherd Ray up to the
duel with me and let him know, my German shepherd
don't play. He will let you know who to boss you.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Here go Todd.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
It does escalating things a little bit, honest, join.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The Facebook group in your neighborhood and complain about it
like all the rest of us.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I don't think Boston Terriers are going to have quite
that intimidating effect as a German Shepherd would have. We
got this up on Facebook right now, way in please
at West Michigan Star, and of course send us your gossip.
What's going on in your life? Where's that drama at?
Always feel free to send it our way again at
West Michigan Stock. Let's do this. Let's battle on your
Friday morning and try and get you in for some
(19:57):
playoff hockey on Monday.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I mean, we've had to wait a bit, I know,
but it is happening. Game two for our Grand Rapids Griffins,
bringing the Texas Stars back to Van Handel. We've got
your tickets with today's number one answer, one hundred women surveyed,
which of the seven Dwarfs describes your feeling after a
couple of drinks? You know, because I don't know which
(20:19):
one would be.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
My number one doc is obviously not on here. I'll
give you that hint. But I do feel like I've
become an expert on all things, including medical advice. After
I've had a couple of cocktails.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's one of those like I stayed at a holiday
and express last night. All right? Six one six, four
five eight, one oh five seven caller seven one hundred
women surveyed, which of the seven Dwarfs describes your feeling
after a couple of drinks? Four five, eight, one oh
five seven. Number one answer, You're going to see our
Griffins in playoff action Monday night.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Good morning, Star. Who's this?
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Well, I'm on my way to shut it, Evan, but
I'm from Kalmazoo.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
All right, Paul, let's see if we can get your
playoff tickets for our Griffins. Got to tell me. One
hundred women were asked, Paul, which of the seven Dwarves
describes how you feel after a couple of drinks?
Speaker 6 (21:10):
Well, it could go either way, but I'll say happy.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
You could go either way, but you were gonna say happy.
I would have meant happy too, But I don't know
if these are older ladies who answered this question or not.
But happy's the number two answer, Paul. I'm sorry, Hi Star,
who's this?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
April?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
April? Paul just gave me the guess that I was
definitely thinking. But one hundred women were asked which of
the seven dwarves describes how you feel after a couple
of drinks? And Paul said happy, which is what I
thought the answer was going to be. But that was
the number two most common answer, and I said, maybe
these were maybe these women that were asked were a
little bit older. I don't know, Well, what do you
(21:49):
think of it?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Well, I was struggling between happy and my gut. But
I know when I drink it makes me sleepy.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It makes you sleepy. Couple of glasses line, and even
if I plan on stand up to watch the movie,
I'm out in the first fifteen minutes. Sleepy right. Top
answer congratulations, A why sleepy, followed by happy, then dopey
and bashful, rounding out the top four answers. I'm definitely
(22:19):
not feeling bashful after a couple of cocktails. But congratulations
to you. You're gonna see our Griffins and playoff action.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Awcome, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
You are so welcome. I'm going too. It's Mack and
Schmitty and I'm going to talk to you about memorabilia
Schmitty stuff that maybe you held onto from a big
concert or a sporting event as it was in your life.
Because my father in law last night Piston's playoff game
Game six, face an elimination trying to get their first
win in the playoffs in Detroit in forever.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
First ever playoff win in LC and LCY.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It's so funny that you say that, schmitty, because what
did he text me in the fourth quarter? The Pistons
are winning and he text me a pitch sure of
thundersticks from the two thousand and six two thousand and
seven Piston season. Uh you know what thundersticks are? Those
little skinny tubes of people well that bang together to
(23:13):
make noise. Okay some of them, Yeah, these ones don't
because these are two thousand and six, two thousand and seven.
These were from the Palace of Auburnes with Rip Hambleton
and Shauncey Phillips and the whole era that we won
a championship with. Now he busted them out last night
and blew them up and was literally using them in
(23:33):
his living room during the game.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And I think, as any Pistons fan should.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I had to laugh though, because these are trash, right,
That's what sticks are. I'm sorry. This is trash that
they give you for free at the game. Those thundersticks.
The last time they had air in them, Schmidty was
at the Palace of Auburn.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Hills, which is why it's so cool.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
And Cade Cunningham, the star of the Pistons today, was
six years old.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Anything from the Palace, I think is so cool. It's
like if you ever had something from the Pontiac Silver Dome.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
This I agree with that. Yeah, fan laws though have moved.
They've emptied out their entire house than moved over here
to the West side.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Lay them, you put them in a box, then you
get to your next place, you blow them up again.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Display that do you have anything you're holding on to?
From a big can late again?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I framed the set list from The Food Fighters playing
Vanandelerina two thousand and eight. That's so I jumped the barricade,
took that off stage.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
That's really really cool. I'm a big fan.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
The only time I've ever gotten to see the Food
Fighters and I was like, thank you, Dave.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
So I I have two Taylor Swift Era's tour sweatshirts,
both the hoodie and that crew neck that sold out
at every single step. They have never been worn. I'm
not saving those for memorabilia. I'm saving those as an investment.
SCHMITTI that's my retirement or my kid's college fund, for sure.
Let's go into this weekend the right way. Feeling good
(24:54):
on Startlin on five point seven. What's happening, man, Let's
go to Oak Park.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
This is a suburb right outside of Detroit where a
family is leading a grassroot effort to help hunger in
their community. They say, if you see a problem, try
to be the solution. This is such an example of that.
Ruth and Greg Marcion have build a little food pantry
right in their front yard. They offer free food and
(25:22):
help to anyone and any family that needs it. Greg
happens to be a handyman, and he built the little
pantry from scratch back in twenty twenty, just as the
pandemic hit and we started to hear how many families
were struggling with something as essential as food. The Markarians'
motivation stems from their own past struggles. Ruth says, the
(25:43):
family themselves once fell on very hard times, so she
knows all too well what it is like to need
help but encounter those obstacles to get it, She tells
ABC seven that's where this entire idea came from.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
At the time, it was just really really stressful. When
we finally got our foot on train and everything, that's
when I started looking into ways that we could help,
you know, other families. We do any type of non
perishable foods, fresh fruits and vegetables. We do toilet trees.
I'll put toilet paper out, their toothpaste and stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I mean, anything and everything you could think of, just
in the front yard of their home. The Oak Park
Gifting little pantry has now caught the attention of neighbors
who make sure to drop off goods as often as
possible right on the front porch, and it stays all
in the community, the community that Ruth and Greg are
so passionate about.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
It's like when you were younger and your parents would
say it takes a village to raise a you know,
family and everything else. It's like, that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Isn't that incredible? Well done marc Arians.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Neighbors helping neighbors, that's what you want to see for sure. Sveni,
an elderly woman of Wisconsin, could have been one of
the many elderly scammed people who loses a ton of
money to these online scammers left right instead, this eighty
six year old woman went undercover and helped catch the
scammer who went after her. According to Washington County Major
Crimes Detective Luke Wilhelm, it was a bitcoin email scam
(27:06):
which had been growing in popularity. We hear about how
the elderly are getting scammed more and more all the time. Well,
this person was pretending to be a geek squad member
from best Buy emailed this eighty six year old woman
from Richfield asked her for a subscription cancelation fee. The
woman clicked the link and then got suspicious. Her spidy
senses went off, and so she decided to call authorities,
(27:28):
and that's when they were able to coach her into
getting this guy not only to trip up, but to
fly from California to come for an in person cash drop,
where of course police were waiting. Detective Wilhelm telling the story,
she got to.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
A point where she just trusted her a good instinct
and realized, hey, something's off here, maybe I should address
this in call law enforcement. Working with this victim, she
was phenomenal. You might say eighty six years old, but
shoes sharp was attacked, and once she started receiving the
phone calls, we were able to coach her properly on
ways to still keep that suspect on the line and
working with her directly, we were able to get a
(28:06):
great investigation together, making a rest, have her keep her money,
and we're now also holding someone accountable for it.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
That's right. The scammer fell for this thing, got arrested
at the woman's home after flying across the country trying
to scam her.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Eighty six years old.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
That's pretty phenomenal, pretty awesome undercover cop right there. I
like that, all right, feeling good coming at you a
couple times today. I always want to share something awesome
out there for you. We'll do it again on Monday,
six forty five and nine twenty every weekday on Star
Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six
am on Star one oh five point seven
It gets my day going and makes me laugh of it.
Mac and Schmidty in the Morning on Star one oh
five point seven. Well, good morning, good morning, welcome into
your Friday, and things are already falling apart for you
over there.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
This doesn't happen. Can you even hear me?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Okay, guys, Schminny's microphone is falling off of its stands,
so she's currently holding it like imagine an influencer er
influencer online who's holding the microphone next to her mouth
while they're talking to the video, except for her microphone.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
On Facebook right now. Okay, so this is this is helpful.
That's where it's supposed to be. This is where it's
supposed to be. This is where it is. I can't
oh man, I can't hear myself very well.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
So I'm not sure you're doing great. I'm impressed.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Can I go hope? Is that allowed equipment failure?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I think the show is.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Done for me.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It seems legit and I would be too distraught to
continue on without you.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Right, It's gonna be a good Friday, you guys.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place. It's
the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Well, today is a big day for that controversial movie
Russ to This is the Alec Baldwin movie that unfortunately
led to the accidental shooting death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins.
It does hit US theaters today. However, instead of maybe
celebrating the fact that it was finally finished, director Joel
Suza is now saying he wishes he had never made
(01:33):
the movie at all. So Joel was in the hospital
after being a part of that accidental shooting, and he
is now sitting down with the Guardian talking about that tragedy,
calling it a domino effect of bad decisions one after
the other, and he wishes he never went back to
Rust post shooting, even though Helena's family definitely wanted it
(01:56):
to be done and finished and given to the public.
Now comes to Baldwin, Joel says they have not spoken
a word to each other since everything with the shooting ended.
He says, we're not enemies, we're not friends, we just
have zero contact. Rust gets a limited theatrical release today
(02:17):
before heading to streaming on Apple TV and Prime Video.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I mean, if it weren't for the part about Helena
Hutchins family, wanting this to be finished. I really wish
this movie would have just I don't think they would have.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I mean, even Joel said I'm not going to do this,
and then it was Helena's husband that was like, no,
let's finish this. She enjoyed the work. I don't think
otherwise it ever would have been made.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Public like this outside of a morbid curiosity. Who wants
to see this movie? Now?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So, Denzel Washington a big snub for the Tony Awards.
The seventy eighth annual Tony Award nominations came out shortly
after the show yesterday, and despite his Powerhouse Broadway return,
he was getting absolutely rave reviews. In a fellow Denzel
snumped in the Best Actor category. Now, George Clooney did
(03:05):
grab a nom, which is good because remember that's why
he died his air. While Denzel's been nominated for a
Tony twice before, his co star Jake Gillenhall also left out.
Robert Downey Junior missing on a nomination for his Broadway
debut in McNeil. But there is some good news. Sadie
Sink got an Tony nam, Sarah Snook Nicole Shirt Singer
(03:29):
and this is really cool news. Audra McDonald just made
history now officially the most Tony nominated actor of all time.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Thinking about Denzel not getting one while Clooney does exactly,
it's just kind of off putting. I hope on right
he goes training day, Denzel.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I believe. All right, now, let's keep this PG. I
did my best, but the story was too wild not
to do. Nick Cannon, the infamous baby Daddy, I've lost track.
I think guest fifteen or sixteen kids now is up
that high has decided to ensure his nether region. He
has joined the Tea Time with Raven and Miranda podcast.
(04:09):
This is Raven Simone's pot and while the rumor had
been swirling for the last few weeks, Nick says, it's
not rumor, it's backed. So we heard that you took
out a ten million dollar insurance policy.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
That's not a rumor, it is all facts.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Okay, So how to explain.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Funny enough? I mean it started off like, yo, this
would be a good joke. What we really went through
with the doctor. They were like, yo, a lot of
celebrity women are ensuring their legs in case something goes wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
They were like, well, what's your most valuable asset mob.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
So he's got a ten million dollar insurance policy on
his ability to continue having children. Also made it very
clear he is letting God, how many more kids you
will be having? All Right, We're just gonna I feel
like I needed to do that story. All right, all
of you were celeb scoop at West Michigan startup.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It's starting a five points yeah, and it's Mack and
Schmidty and in my daydream Schmitty, I'm an action star, right,
I talk profusely about my want to be Indiana Jones.
I'd settle for like a Bad Boys movie or something
like that, because this is straight out of an action
movie where you see the star just jump into the
back of a speeding vehicle, right on the back of
a train, in a boat, in a car. Tom Cruise,
(05:32):
very Tom Cruise. Well, it was an officer in Sarasota,
Florida that got to have their Tom Cruise movement on
a runaway boat earlier this week down there in Sarasota
travel at about forty miles per hour after the operator
of the boat was thrown out of it. So there's
nobody in the boat. It's going like sixty miles an
hour in circles. Eventually a see toe was able to
(05:54):
slow it down a little bit, and then they tried
to match the speed so that an officer could jump
into the speeding boats at forty miles an hour and
finally put it to a stop. The video is unsinsane,
I mean, and I gotta give them props too, because
while there isn't a sound in the video where you
get to hear the action and all that stuff going on,
they did set it to.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Why will find there is a video with sound?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Oh really, with the officer talking and.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Stuff, and you see you can hear him jump and
then you hear the other officers in the boat cheering.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I'll get it up for you, wesns. You can start
dot com because this is the one that I found
right here, So that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
There is a fit check going viral. Not sure what
a fit check is? Well, neither did seventy two year
old Greg Green, who has now gone viral after his
granddaughter shared a video of his first ever fit check
and man, oh man, he really nails it. Can I
do it with a fit check?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
A fitchick?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yes? How do you do a fit chick?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
You just is that what you're wearing and let us
know where it's from.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
This is a coat, this coat is This is a sweater.
It's for the weapon. These are levis in their minds,
quest shoes. They're brooks under these urns. I have guns,
but I'm not low knit.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Today. I'm going out to dinner. I don't want to
hurt anybody.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Not just the rhyming, but the flexing that dinner ensemble.
Greg has now received thousands of comments from people asking
can we do this every day? Grandpa? You're looking good.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I mean, at some point you're no longer embarrassed by
the elders in your life doing things like this. You're
just proud. Also gonna smile.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Besides the fit check, this guy is fit as heck.
He's looking really good for something too.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
All right, coming up, feeling good. We'll always be here
for you to bring you some positivity. We'll do it
again coming up at nine to twenty this morning. Here
on Star Movies, Music and all the gossip in one place.
It's the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Well, the criminal trial will proceed. Did he back in
court yesterday for one final hearing? Telling the judge he
is rejecting a plead deal presented to him by federal prosecutors,
and it was kind of a surprise to a lot
of people that thought he would take it. The Bad
Boy Records founder strolled into the courtroom waving to the public,
(08:20):
looking very very confident, and he was in good spirits,
very unfazed by the upcoming trial that will start next week.
Did he also asked if he was aware he would
potentially serve more time in prison if convicted than if
he took a plead deal, and did He told the
judge he understands fully what is at stake, not exactly
(08:42):
sure the full offer from prosecutors typically, excuse me, offer
a sentence close to what the defendant would receive if convicted,
But prosecutors are hoping and wanting to guard against the
grounds for appeal, which is why they offered this in
the first place. Not the case this is headed to court.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, I'd be really interested to hear what the plea
deal was specifically, just because you know, if they said, oh,
you know what, instead of forty years, we'll give you
twenty five guaranteed and we just end this whole thing
right now. I can see why he would say no
to that, But if it was like, oh yeah, you'll
get out in five years, I'd be surprised if his
lawyers weren't like, take it, take it, take it, take it,
take it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
He's facing five charges on things from trafficking to transportation
and engaging in bluffling things and racketeering, which all of
those carried quite a hefty sentence. Speaking of court, Kanye
West is suing his former dentist. This is a very
interesting story. Kanye claims he has suffered injuries and financial
(09:44):
damage due to an alleged reckless administration of nitrous oxide.
The Rappers legal team has sent a notice of intention
to sue doctor Thomas P.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Connolly.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
He became Yay's dentist early last year. Yay's team claims
he was under connolly care and the dentist engaged in
numerous inappropriate and dangerous practices that were far outside the
bounds of any legitimate medical purpose or standard of care.
Among the alleged misbehavior, Connolly gave him excessive amounts of
(10:15):
nitrous oxide for non medical purposes. They had unsupervised self
administration of gas prescriptions for Kanye and the doctor noticed
adverse neurological behavioral signs and then just like ended it
cold turkey, which did even more damage to Kanye. His wife,
Bianca Sensori, is also listed in this lawsuit. She was
(10:38):
harmed in the process as well, saying that she lost
out on companionship because of this addiction. And that's the
word they're using. This is really interesting. Kanye's ex chief
of staff, Milo Yanopolis has spoken before about Kanye constantly
discussing nitrous oxide in meetings. He's talked about how it
has turned his mood unpredictable and has completely changed his actions.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
You know, that's what is commonly known as laughing gas
at a dentist's office like that. And I can't believe that,
you know, he was getting refills of this stuff to
take with you elsewhere. That's what they give you before
they do a filling or a root canal or something
like that to avoid you know, pain, and it, I mean,
I just it makes you wonder whether that was part
of this drug stuck.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
They're also talking about.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Propofol oh that was the Michael Jackson drug.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Could be a very very interesting lawsuit given Kanye's behavior
of the last couple of years. Finally, Vince Vaughn is
sharing a little known Hollywood secret. Actor al Pacino smells delicious.
He was on the Jimmy Fallon Tonight's show promoting their
new Netflix movie Nanas, which premieres next week on Netflix.
(11:51):
I'm really excited about that, by the way, And this
is what he had to say.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I have to say this. He smells fabulous. He does.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
He smells like a high end COLONNEU on our Italy.
He has an incredible smell. The whole aroma is unbelievable. Really, yes,
people would notice this. I mean many things about him.
He's a tremendous guy, very very easy to be around.
But smells matter. And yeah, he smells matter.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Did he tell me a.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Lot of people to put be around us and tell
him that he smelled fantastic?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
He smells fantastic. He smell.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Then, so the question would come up, which is you
know where, what do you what's the clone right?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
What are you wearing? What's that tight lip?
Speaker 5 (12:26):
He'd say, I have to try to remember he doesn't
want to share that. He doesn't want to share that
fabulous smell. Have to h he would Then he would say,
I'm trying to leave a legacy, so he was protecting
his smells.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Isn't that fantastic? I want to smell al Pacino.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
That's a great Patino story.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Didn't know that For a Friday morning all of your
celect scoop at West Michigan's start off.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Ones morning too. It's back in Schmidty and you're looking
at banishment from something in your household.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
We are not. I think they are some of the
most fun things for kids ever. But my husband Chris
hate and when I use the word hate, I don't
use a lightly, hates bubbles, bubble. He is thinking of
banning bubbles. And I'm just curious if there is something
at your house or something your kids play with that
(13:11):
your spousor partner cannot stand. Chris hates bubbles, and it's
it's really become a thing now because like Will's birthday,
Sophia's birthday, Easter, we got bubbles. They've got a new
bubble machine. Uh to back that's what I said, to
back up their other two bubble machines. They've got a
bubble Like, oh my gosh, Chris hates bubbles.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
How do you think they're sticky?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
They get everywhere they make things slippery. He's like, there's
constantly bubble things sitting everywhere, the little plastic containers, the lids,
the stupid wands. He cannot stand bubbles. It has become
like his entire personality.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I think this is I've never met a person who
has a visceral reaction, Yes, sir, perfect word for it.
Bubbles before super odd. What a what a weird thing
to have a passionate.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
He was gonna like hide them or try to throw
them away. He's like, I'm not doing I'm not doing bubbles.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Is there trauma? Did he not get bubbles as a child.
I don't know how it can't have a warm spot
in your heart for bubbles.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I don't know what it is. But being the person
and spouse I am, I went and bought triple the
amount of bubbles I normally would.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's like a peanut allergy. You want to get them
over it, you give them the peanuts. You're doing it
and then.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Well that's not medical advice, by the way, But I
and then I would just look at him with this
smirk as she opened package after package of bubbles. He
just can't do it. And we have girls on the
run and they were doing their practice through Rockford earlier
this week, and I set up all of our bubble
machines and we did the sidewalk chalks. They could run
through the bab all but those girls loved it. He
(14:47):
just sat in his office with a scowl. Look at
all those bubbles. Bubbles are getting on my car, Bubbles
are getting on the porch. We've got a tile porch.
Someone's gonna slip. They're gonna sue us. They can't handle bubble.
Is there anything your kids have or play with it?
You are that hardcore again?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
No, my wife is for ones, but I feel like
she's got a legitimate reason. It's not bubbles. We have
those orbie guns, those little water bead shooters.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Oh I don't know those.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Oh it's like a machine gun for little tiny water pellets.
And uh they sting, okay, and actually does sound like
it could hurt. It does sting a little bit when
you get shot. And my wife hates them because a
they're shape play guns, which is like right off the bat.
She hates and I understand that one. But they're so
fun and and we we wind up always shooting each other.
(15:36):
It's a rule in the house that you're not allowed
to shoot anyone else. And then it always devolves into that,
and then my wife is screaming from the porch to
put them down, and how she's throwing them away.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
See, yeah, I can. That's different than bubbles. I think
than bubbles is just unhappy, not afraid. Oh no, no,
not afraid.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
You know, the anger.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Just can't stand. I don't know. He doesn't like the
texture of them, he doesn't like that they're everywhere, they
get in your hair, your face. I mean, we caught
one of our kids sipping bubbles a couple of years ago.
That's probably not good because we're not buying high end bubbles.
I'm sure they're.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Watching get pretty interesting though, But yeah, bubbles.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I don't know. You guys, something weirder than bubbles that
you just can't handle from your childhood. Give us a
call at four eight one oh five seven.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I really hope there's somebody out there that's that's like,
you know what, I hate hula hoops. All that gyration
has been bothering me since the Dawn of tow Rare Bubbles.
Odd Mack and Schmidty in the Morning on Star one
oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Time Spilling Tea tay time spill the too, sweetheart, Let's
do this.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It's Friday, which means it's time to dive into your tea.
Go ahead and spill it. And this one Schmitty is
a pet owner. I I don't know what the right
answer is in this, and I've kind of got a
different vibe than what I think. The person who wrote
into us is really kind of letting on here, says
Mack and Schmidti, I'm witnessing high tech canine warfare. My
(16:55):
boyfriend's next door neighbor moved in a few months back,
and he hates my boyfriend's dogs, two small Boston Terriers,
and they bark sometimes, but not any more than most dogs.
No other neighbor has ever complained, but this guy's been
complaining constantly at anything more than like ten seconds of barking.
At first, my boyfriend was polite, but then the guy
got one of those ultrasonic bark stopper laser things and
(17:20):
started pointing it at my boyfriend's dogs while they were
in the backyard. My boyfriend flipped out on the guy
and called the cops, who took his info but didn't
do anything. The devices claim to be safe for pets,
but you don't mess with someone else's dog.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I've never even heard of these.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I had to google it, and it's true. They're all
over Amazon, and they claim safe for humans, save for pets.
And it's basically an ultrasonic signal that you aim towards
the dogs directly in it, I think I emit some
frequency that is supposed to get the dogs to stop barking.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
You don't need a collar anything.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
You don't need a collar or anything so.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Insanely dangerous to be anyone else's dogs.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I mean, but and I guess the tone that I
took from this first off, I think it's so messed up.
You're doing something to somebody else's property, to somebody else's dog.
Now legal, you would think, so. I thought it was
interesting that, you know, the cops didn't do anything. I
don't know if you got to catch a person in
the act. But the other part of me is like,
I bet you these dogs bark a lot. When this
person says that, you know, oh, anything more than like
(18:23):
ten seconds. Ten seconds of barking is a long time
if it happens repeatedly over and over a little Boston
terriers and being two of them I have this feeling
that the barking problem is a lot worse than what
the person who wrote in is Televis Schmidty. I'm not sure,
but six one six, four five eight one oh five seven.
This is also going on Facebook right now too.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Sarah from Grand Rapids on the line right now, Sarah,
what do you think would you what would you do
if this were your dog?
Speaker 6 (18:51):
I mean definitely the first thing is talk to like
their vet to see like, what, what's what could happen?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
And then if if it's going to be like a
long term effects of like long term negative effects, maybe
it's not actually doing anything. Maybe it is either way,
Like I would go to the vet first.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, I get you know, I'm not I'm going straight
to the cops because I mean, if I could say
it's it's not doing anything, I'm like, there's still pointing
something at my dogs.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, it's it's it's your property, right. Todd on the
line from Grandville, What do you think, Todd?
Speaker 6 (19:22):
I would take my German shepherd Ray up to the
duel with me and let him know, my German shepherd
don't play. He will let you know who to boss you.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Here go Todd.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
It does escalating things a little bit, honest, join.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The Facebook group in your neighborhood and complain about it
like all the rest of us.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I don't think Boston Terriers are going to have quite
that intimidating effect as a German Shepherd would have. We
got this up on Facebook right now, way in please
at West Michigan Star, and of course send us your gossip.
What's going on in your life? Where's that drama at?
Always feel free to send it our way again at
West Michigan Stock. Let's do this. Let's battle on your
Friday morning and try and get you in for some
(19:57):
playoff hockey on Monday.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I mean, we've had to wait a bit, I know,
but it is happening. Game two for our Grand Rapids Griffins,
bringing the Texas Stars back to Van Handel. We've got
your tickets with today's number one answer, one hundred women surveyed,
which of the seven Dwarfs describes your feeling after a
couple of drinks? You know, because I don't know which
(20:19):
one would be.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
My number one doc is obviously not on here. I'll
give you that hint. But I do feel like I've
become an expert on all things, including medical advice. After
I've had a couple of cocktails.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's one of those like I stayed at a holiday
and express last night. All right? Six one six, four
five eight, one oh five seven caller seven one hundred
women surveyed, which of the seven Dwarfs describes your feeling
after a couple of drinks? Four five, eight, one oh
five seven. Number one answer, You're going to see our
Griffins in playoff action Monday night.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Good morning, Star. Who's this?
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Well, I'm on my way to shut it, Evan, but
I'm from Kalmazoo.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
All right, Paul, let's see if we can get your
playoff tickets for our Griffins. Got to tell me. One
hundred women were asked, Paul, which of the seven Dwarves
describes how you feel after a couple of drinks?
Speaker 6 (21:10):
Well, it could go either way, but I'll say happy.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
You could go either way, but you were gonna say happy.
I would have meant happy too, But I don't know
if these are older ladies who answered this question or not.
But happy's the number two answer, Paul. I'm sorry, Hi Star,
who's this?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
April?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
April? Paul just gave me the guess that I was
definitely thinking. But one hundred women were asked which of
the seven dwarves describes how you feel after a couple
of drinks? And Paul said happy, which is what I
thought the answer was going to be. But that was
the number two most common answer, and I said, maybe
these were maybe these women that were asked were a
little bit older. I don't know, Well, what do you
(21:49):
think of it?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Well, I was struggling between happy and my gut. But
I know when I drink it makes me sleepy.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It makes you sleepy. Couple of glasses line, and even
if I plan on stand up to watch the movie,
I'm out in the first fifteen minutes. Sleepy right. Top
answer congratulations, A why sleepy, followed by happy, then dopey
and bashful, rounding out the top four answers. I'm definitely
(22:19):
not feeling bashful after a couple of cocktails. But congratulations
to you. You're gonna see our Griffins and playoff action.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Awcome, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
You are so welcome. I'm going too. It's Mack and
Schmitty and I'm going to talk to you about memorabilia
Schmitty stuff that maybe you held onto from a big
concert or a sporting event as it was in your life.
Because my father in law last night Piston's playoff game
Game six, face an elimination trying to get their first
win in the playoffs in Detroit in forever.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
First ever playoff win in LC and LCY.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It's so funny that you say that, schmitty, because what
did he text me in the fourth quarter? The Pistons
are winning and he text me a pitch sure of
thundersticks from the two thousand and six two thousand and
seven Piston season. Uh you know what thundersticks are? Those
little skinny tubes of people well that bang together to
(23:13):
make noise. Okay some of them, Yeah, these ones don't
because these are two thousand and six, two thousand and seven.
These were from the Palace of Auburnes with Rip Hambleton
and Shauncey Phillips and the whole era that we won
a championship with. Now he busted them out last night
and blew them up and was literally using them in
(23:33):
his living room during the game.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And I think, as any Pistons fan should.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I had to laugh though, because these are trash, right,
That's what sticks are. I'm sorry. This is trash that
they give you for free at the game. Those thundersticks.
The last time they had air in them, Schmidty was
at the Palace of Auburn.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Hills, which is why it's so cool.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
And Cade Cunningham, the star of the Pistons today, was
six years old.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Anything from the Palace, I think is so cool. It's
like if you ever had something from the Pontiac Silver Dome.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
This I agree with that. Yeah, fan laws though have moved.
They've emptied out their entire house than moved over here
to the West side.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Lay them, you put them in a box, then you
get to your next place, you blow them up again.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Display that do you have anything you're holding on to?
From a big can late again?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I framed the set list from The Food Fighters playing
Vanandelerina two thousand and eight. That's so I jumped the barricade,
took that off stage.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
That's really really cool. I'm a big fan.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
The only time I've ever gotten to see the Food
Fighters and I was like, thank you, Dave.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
So I I have two Taylor Swift Era's tour sweatshirts,
both the hoodie and that crew neck that sold out
at every single step. They have never been worn. I'm
not saving those for memorabilia. I'm saving those as an investment.
SCHMITTI that's my retirement or my kid's college fund, for sure.
Let's go into this weekend the right way. Feeling good
(24:54):
on Startlin on five point seven. What's happening, man, Let's
go to Oak Park.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
This is a suburb right outside of Detroit where a
family is leading a grassroot effort to help hunger in
their community. They say, if you see a problem, try
to be the solution. This is such an example of that.
Ruth and Greg Marcion have build a little food pantry
right in their front yard. They offer free food and
(25:22):
help to anyone and any family that needs it. Greg
happens to be a handyman, and he built the little
pantry from scratch back in twenty twenty, just as the
pandemic hit and we started to hear how many families
were struggling with something as essential as food. The Markarians'
motivation stems from their own past struggles. Ruth says, the
(25:43):
family themselves once fell on very hard times, so she
knows all too well what it is like to need
help but encounter those obstacles to get it, She tells
ABC seven that's where this entire idea came from.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
At the time, it was just really really stressful. When
we finally got our foot on train and everything, that's
when I started looking into ways that we could help,
you know, other families. We do any type of non
perishable foods, fresh fruits and vegetables. We do toilet trees.
I'll put toilet paper out, their toothpaste and stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I mean, anything and everything you could think of, just
in the front yard of their home. The Oak Park
Gifting little pantry has now caught the attention of neighbors
who make sure to drop off goods as often as
possible right on the front porch, and it stays all
in the community, the community that Ruth and Greg are
so passionate about.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
It's like when you were younger and your parents would
say it takes a village to raise a you know,
family and everything else. It's like, that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Isn't that incredible? Well done marc Arians.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Neighbors helping neighbors, that's what you want to see for sure. Sveni,
an elderly woman of Wisconsin, could have been one of
the many elderly scammed people who loses a ton of
money to these online scammers left right instead, this eighty
six year old woman went undercover and helped catch the
scammer who went after her. According to Washington County Major
Crimes Detective Luke Wilhelm, it was a bitcoin email scam
(27:06):
which had been growing in popularity. We hear about how
the elderly are getting scammed more and more all the time. Well,
this person was pretending to be a geek squad member
from best Buy emailed this eighty six year old woman
from Richfield asked her for a subscription cancelation fee. The
woman clicked the link and then got suspicious. Her spidy
senses went off, and so she decided to call authorities,
(27:28):
and that's when they were able to coach her into
getting this guy not only to trip up, but to
fly from California to come for an in person cash drop,
where of course police were waiting. Detective Wilhelm telling the story,
she got to.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
A point where she just trusted her a good instinct
and realized, hey, something's off here, maybe I should address
this in call law enforcement. Working with this victim, she
was phenomenal. You might say eighty six years old, but
shoes sharp was attacked, and once she started receiving the
phone calls, we were able to coach her properly on
ways to still keep that suspect on the line and
working with her directly, we were able to get a
(28:06):
great investigation together, making a rest, have her keep her money,
and we're now also holding someone accountable for it.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
That's right. The scammer fell for this thing, got arrested
at the woman's home after flying across the country trying
to scam her.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Eighty six years old.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
That's pretty phenomenal, pretty awesome undercover cop right there. I
like that, all right, feeling good coming at you a
couple times today. I always want to share something awesome
out there for you. We'll do it again on Monday,
six forty five and nine twenty every weekday on Star
Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six
am on Star one oh five point seven
