Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mack and Schmidty in the morning on West Michigan's Christmas
station Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well, good morning, Schmidty, Hey, good morning, and man for
a Monday. Unfortunately it is off to a soup a start.
Give yourself a ton of extra time driving in today.
It is bad. I could see almost nothing on my
drive in north.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Of the city.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Dense fog advisory for most counties through about ten am
this morning. And there's even some school delays that are rolling.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, Allagan Public, East Martin, Christian and Hopkins all delayed
two hours right now, and expect to see a few
more as kind of those principles are waking up and
going ooh, this is tough for the buses.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Honestly, this is some of the most widespread in dense
fog I can remember seeing, and you know what I mean,
at least in the last few years, because it is
very thick out there. I mean when I was going
even seeing like stoplights up ahead, maybe thirty forty feet
ahead of you before you started seeing those.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
H it's not a seventy mile an hour on the
expressway kind of morning. And of course you're also dealing
with deer. I saw a ton on the way in.
So I don't know, get the brides going, but if
you're telling yourself you're looking out that window, definitely leave
a little earlier.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Because even I'm like, whoa, this was a little rough.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well it wasn't exactly hassle free, but Netflix did just
release the numbers for how many people ended up tuning
in to that live fight Friday night between Jake Paul
and Mike Tyson, and it is pretty staggering. According to
the streaming giant, the event drew sixty million households globally,
(01:44):
peaking at sixty five million concurrent streams now. That came
with quite a headache, as it was widely reported that
viewers had serious issues, including a lot of lag, a
constant loading button with the app, even freeze or crashing
throughout the fight. Plus there was a lot of less
(02:04):
than impressed fans when it came to the actual Tyson
Paul fight, they felt it was pretty lack luster. However,
Katie Taylor versus Amanda Serrano, if you had fifty million households,
globally had some serious, serious, top tier comments, people saying this,
(02:24):
this is what we would have paid for now. Mike Tyson,
of course losing to Jake Paul if you did not watch,
but the boxing legend took to X over the weekend
saying he's got no regrets. It's a situation where even
participating in the brawl felt like a victory. But for
Netflix execs, they got to get this figured out because
they've got a couple of other really big live sporting
events coming up in the next few weeks, and this
(02:47):
was not a really great move according to customers.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, you know, for Mike Tyson, I'm sure his bank
account feels pretty good with just showing up and being
there for this. I'd be really curious to know whether
or not Netflix feels like this was a massive success
or kind of a setback for the middle.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I had five friends that canceled their accounts over the weekend.
They were so unimpressed with how awful it was. Two
of my friends never saw the fight. It never loaded
for them. Oh wow, it'll be interesting. Josh Brolin, the actor,
talking about his relationship with mom in a new memoir
touching on addiction and mentioning a story that has the
(03:25):
Internet going wild. So From Under the Truck is his memoir.
The actor sitting down for an interview with The Times
over the weekend, talking about a reference to his mom
and her boyfriend and about the drinking that really got
out of hand. So, his mom, Jane, was actually a
wildlife conservationist before she passed back in the mid nineties,
(03:47):
and would often yell sick them to any wild animals
that were on the property, cougar's coyotes, bobcats, who would
then usually chase after Josh and his brother Jess. In fact,
in the Roland writes, you knew if you didn't get
on the other side of that shut door within a
couple of seconds, you'd be cleaning up fresh bloody marks
(04:07):
somewhere on your body for the rest of the day.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
This is his mother, who is Carol Baskin.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, apparently it's interesting, though, he said, listen, I'm not
gonna talk about like how horrifying this was, because, no
matter what, my mom may have been a pain in
the behind, but she was never someone you didn't want
to be around. This is gonna be a very interesting memoir.
From Under the Truck drops tomorrow. Wow, Mom, sounds like Beastmaster,
(04:36):
I'm so excusing.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Sounds like a CPS call.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And finally, Sabrina Carpenter thrilling fans with an unbelievable surprise
over the weekend, bringing out one of the goats of music,
Christina Aguilera, the Espresso singer, performing at Crypto dot Com Arena.
When all you had to hear was that first note
from Christina and the audience went wild.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Isn't that incredible?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
They also reportedly saying what a girl wants together their
second time kind of doing a surprise duet they sing
together back in September for the twenty fifth anniversary of
Aguilera's self titled debut album.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Do you feel like they kind of look like each other?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Look and on stage like they were twins.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
They both had all this like black ensemble with those
blonde locks, but they sound.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
So good together.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I've got the video for you with your scoop at
West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Sometimes does that get a good.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Well, the good stuff sell around you. When you're looking
for it, we try and help you find it.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Every morning.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Feeling good on Starwino five points seven is Smackagemitty with
you and seventy four year old Jean Wolf of Pennsylvania.
She was having a rough week already, and then it
got a little bit worse because she was preparing for
her mother's passing. Her mom, actually in hospice care, was
nearing her final moments, and Jean had been preparing for
that time, and she absent mindedly, after speaking with the neighborhood,
(06:20):
placed her phone and the folder that contained all of
her mom's funeral readings and plans on the trunk of
her car. Well, we've all been there in that awful moment,
she rushed off. She forgot about them, and the item
scattered across a busy highway. Was hours later when she
realized what she had done, and she said, I didn't
care about my phone at all. I cared about the papers.
(06:41):
I thought, where do I start now? Well, that's when
you can enter Arnie Denoff, whose plans for the day
took a pretty wild turn. He spotted a bunch of
papers scattering across the road, decided to pull over, brave
the traffic, collected what he could, and among others, he
found an obituary. He said, I thought, oh my god, gosh,
somebody's just passed away. They probably need to make arrangements.
(07:03):
He also found Jeane's phone, which started ringing her daughter
on the other end, and Arnie just assured him that
the phone and the notebook would be fine. Got him
back to Jane, which was a godsend. But that's not
where Arnie's kindness stopped. He found out that the most
important paper, a handwritten note that contained the funeral's final details,
was still missing. So schmiddy, this guy went back. He
(07:26):
went back to the spot on the highway that he found,
and he actually recovered the most critical paper. Said, the
one paper I needed most of all is the one
he found. Jean told her local news. She said that
Arnie felt like a guardian angel in a God send.
She offered him money, he kindly refused, so she baked
him some homemade Christmas cookies and gave him the nickname
(07:48):
Arnie the Angel.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Mine is quick and wonderful.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
For Lyons fans, Aiden Hutchinson is on the Men the House,
hutch posting this video over the weeks.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Again, you can't probably tell what this is, I'll tell
you it's Aiden.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
In a rehab pool, looking incredible. He is working both
those legs. You should read through the comments. If Aiden
can play football months after snapping his leg, there's no
reason I can't get off my behind and vacuum.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
My house right now.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Boy, if Hutch makes it back for the playoffs, that
a boy, Hutch and my favorite Von Miller, this is
the goat. If Hutch makes it back before the playoffs,
of course, another huge round of applause, standing ovation. Over
the weekend, Hutch was back in the house at Ford Field.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
You can see the strength got it up in our
insta stories at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I mean, we're just having so much fun every week
right now. It's just a bummer not to have him
out there. But every week is this reminder how insane
of a season he was having, because as of this week,
he'd still be top ten and seved the league. Even
though oh when you see this.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Video he's still top ten.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You can see him putting some serious work in Lions
fans and you're gonna love it.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Well, the drama continues between now X's Zach Bryan, the
country star, an ex girlfriend Brianna Chicken Fry, and Brianna
is now threatening to release a video of alleged abuse
in their relationships. So let me give you some backstory here.
This was on TikTok over the weekend. Apparently the two
(09:37):
of them had a cat together, and when they broke up,
Zach took the cat, which Brianna sing was hers.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And is refusing to give it back.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
What's worse, he's trolling her with constant videos on his
social media of him and the cat.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
This is Brianna over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
If this man's post my fucking cat one more time,
I'm gonna post videos of you whipping shit at my face.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
So can you stop and posting my and rubbing it
in my face?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It is nasty worth pointing out too.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Brianna was that the Big Tyson Paul fight over the weekend,
and video surfaced of a Zach Bryan song getting played
over the loud speakers and then her and all of
her friends with a big thumbs down. But she's claiming
to release this tape, which she said is just going
to show further abuse in this relationship, and how awful
of a human.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
He really is.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I'm sorry, but this abuse is the was it the
food fight? We're referencing a food fight? I mean, I
don't know what the video is, but it seems like we're.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
We're not giving details on what this video would be of.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
It sounds of I'll share that video of you throwing
food at me. But she said it right, No.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
No, I bleeped out what the word was She said,
whipping stuff and ah, the comments are really like, this
guy sounds pretty horrible. Now, interesting enough, Dave Portnoy, founder
of Barstool, who she's really good friends with, said release it,
post it, and so she had allegedly sent it to him.
She's kind of been leaning on them for support here,
(11:02):
but this guy sounds like the absolute worst. Kristin Cavalari
is revealing the identity of her hottest hookup and it
turns out he is a major Hollywood star and absolutely
nobody knew about this. So, if you have heard of
the Suspect challenge, which is viral on TikTok where one
(11:22):
person jocks next to another and they kind of roast
each other jokingly back and forth, this was one of
Kristen's friends outing this big secret suspects.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Hotest hookup that she's never told anybody about was Jason Stathum.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Jason Stathum, Yes, not sure like when this all went down,
but Kristen did admit, like yeah, and it was like
one of my greatest.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That's the world we live in.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Next up, of course, the big Netflix live event Mike
Tyson versus Jake Paul Friday Night. Numbers have been released,
bringing in a massive sixty million households globally that watched
the live event. Painked at sixty five million concurrent streams,
which did give Netflix quite a few problems. A lot
(12:09):
of customers reporting outages that the app was freezing, sometimes crashing.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
A few couldn't even get into the fight.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We also saw a very different side of Mike Tyson.
His booty is trending after that fight.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
If you missed it.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
After a big interview, he turned around and Netflix couldn't
quite pan up fast enough and he was kind of
wearing some open ended shorts. It has gone so viral
that a DJ in Vegas actually used his booty as
part of his set, with.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Tyson's booty shaking on a huge screen in Vegas to
the beat.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
So yeah, well, the fight was a spectac it makes
sense that afterwards that continues.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Basically all of your celebscoop at West Michigan start.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Out selling a fun point. See I have a good
morn into you. It's Mack and Schmidty back at it
on a Monday, Smitty, how are you feeling this morning?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Okay, not great? I almost called in. I really truly
did you guys, it has happened. I have suffered just
an embarrassing old person injury. I hear the stories. I
know We've talked about this on the show in the past.
Like age gets you, I come touch you fast. You
guys know, have just been getting over being really really
(13:32):
sick and finally feeling better. And I sneezed so hard
I've either pulled a muscle or bruised a rib. I
cannot move the right side of my body without experiencing
excruciating pain.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
From us sneeze. What happened?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Your thirties are not supposed to be this unfair?
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I have to ask, because, as somebody who sits in
the studio with you every day, I've heard your sneeze
countless times, right, and you have the ability to do
the silent sneeze pretty well. So I guess my question is,
what did this sneeze look like? Do you feel like
perhaps trying to hold it in?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I did your body. I was in my living room
all by my shage one. It was a regular person sneeze.
And now like I'm trying to figure out what to do,
Like I don't know if I need to go into
a chiropractor, get a massage, do something homeopathic, because I
feel like it's only getting worse. I can't carry like
(14:37):
my work bag on that side if I honestly, if
I bend a certain.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Way, I'm like, because of a sneeze, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
And then to make matters even more embarrassing, all weekend,
I was out hosting a really great event Saturday night
for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and I'm talking with a
few people that were like, man.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
We're used to seeing you out on the dance floor
like all the time. I go, well, I sneezed, and
I think I might have pulled my trapazoid.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And I see these looks as I tell multiple people
I think I've pulled my trapazoid, and then I look
at my best friend.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
I'm like, I don't think that's right.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So she texts her husband and goes, is trapezoid a
muscle or a shape, to which he responds shape trapezius.
How many people have you told that too? So now
not only am I injured, I'm dumb. It's just been
a real weekend, and I'm curious as to your worst
embarrassing adult injury. Like I climbed the stairs and I
(15:41):
ended up breaking an ankle.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I honestly, I just took a weird step. It was
just a weird step while I was coaching my son's
football team, and at first it just felt like a pang.
And then after the game we went to a cony
and I was basically trapped in the booth. I was
just like, you know what, I'll be able to eat
here for a few days. You guys just leave me
because I cannot move a muscle right now without just
being in screaming pain.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I put a video of me like trying to foam
roller this out on our Facebook. I just say, I'm complaining.
Timothy tore his achilles as an adult.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
So now I feel a little bit better because I think.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
My trap azoid might heal a little bit faster six
one six four eight, one oh five seven your most
embarrassing adult injury, and if you have any idea on
how I can fix my back besides never sneezing again,
I'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Wow, severing your achilles smittie is like the stuff of
nightmares to me. I can't even remember who described it
to me the first time, but I have never been
able to shake the vision of it rolling up like
a lampshade inside of your leg like no, right, here
are the facts, but.

The background at our house. I feel the same way
about Thanksgiving. Yeah, it's all right. Speaking of the Lions
and the big Thanksgiving game that will be coming up,
they will be without defensive captain and middle linebacker Alex Anzeloney.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Oh boy, did you see this? Yesterday?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
A stunning fifty two to six victory over the Jags,
but unfortunately Alex with a broken forearm. Check out the moment.
Even the announcers are like, ooh, can't be good.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
It looks like they're getting attention to that shoulder and arm.
He is going right to the locker room.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
See that left arm gets extended. Oh, it was rough
to watch.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Lions head coach Dan Campbell did confirm anzelone out six
to eight weeks with the Lions and seven games remaining
in the regular season.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I mean he is a huge piece to that defense too.
That's already without Aiden Hutchinson. We can't have guys dropping
like this.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
It sucks, but you know what doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Big Sean says, the Lions are taking it all and
he's ready to be in New Orleans when it happens.

It's going to be them, I will say too. Vegas

Alright, Angela? Are you a mom? Angela?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I am a mom.
Speaker 9 (23:25):
I'm sitting at the bus stop right now.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Sit at the bus stop right now. Yeah, that's that's
on par for momhood at this moment. My question for
you is, if you can, what does mom Andrea actually
want for Christmas this year?
Speaker 8 (23:37):
Peace and quiet?
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Ooh, pace and quiet. That's that's a pretty good one
right there. And I think it's probably pretty high on
our list. But let's see here. One hundred adults were
asked what is something on every mom's Christmas list?
Speaker 6 (23:49):
What do you think they said? Is their top answer?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Oh, my son's not going to Disney.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I like your son's idea. That's that's on my list.
So it for sure as the top of my mom's too.
I mean, why would it not be, it's the.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
Top of mine.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Scented candles, I.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Guess scented candles.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Okay, so that's funny because I feel like scented candles
are what moms always get, but not ever what they
actually always want.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
That's not on there.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I'm sorry, you too, thank you, Hi Star?
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Who's this Amber? Amber?
Speaker 4 (24:24):
I just got a great guest, but not the top answer.
When one hundred adults were asked what's something on every
mom's Christmas list? I just heard scented candles, which definitely
moms seem to always wind up getting around the holidays.
But that was not on there. So what do you
think it is?
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Amber?
Speaker 9 (24:39):
Ay?
Speaker 6 (24:39):
Vacation? A vacation, You're not far off.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
SPA day getaway is actually the number two most common answer.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
I'm sorry, thank you, thank's Amber.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Hi Star? Who's this Grayson? All right?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
One hundred adults were asked to name something on every
mom's Christmas list? And so I heard scented candles and
I just heard a vacation and a getaway slash. SPA
day was the number two most common answer, but not
the top of the list. So what do you think
it is?
Speaker 8 (25:09):
So?
Speaker 7 (25:09):
Spotday was second.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
SPA day was second.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
All right, we're gonna say time with her family? Oh,
time with family?
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Oh that's so sweet, But does any mom actually really
want that.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
On Christmas? I'm a mom and I want them.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Not on there, although I will tell you family pictures
is the number four most common answer, So I suppose
that's close in there, but not the top list. Thanks guys,
Thank you, having good day, you too, Hi Star.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Who's this?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
It's a treasure, treasure, So here's the deal. I just
got some good guesses, but I don't have the top
answer yet. One hundred adults were asked to name something
on every mom's Christmas list, and I've heard scented candles.
I heard a vacation. A getaway slash spa day was
the number two most common answer. I heard time together
as a family, and family photos was actually the number
(26:02):
four most common answer. So you still got a chance here.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
What do you think? The top answer was treasure.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Nap A nap, Yeah, just leave me alone for a
little while.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
That's time. Congresolations, Yes, thank you.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Hi, guess you want to bring the kiddos treasure to
go check out the Christmas light show at LMCU Ballpark
during the Winter wonder.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
Walk this weekend. Congrats, Thank you. Yes, it was a nap.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Followed by a spa day slash getaway, then a babysitter,
and then family photos, rounding out those top answers today.
Just in case you're curious, what moms are looking for
this year. Guys, we'll do it again tomorrow, another chance
to win eight to fifteen here on Starbino five point seven. Yes,
Happy holidaycu and that includes all of them, not just Christmas.
(26:47):
But of course we got some massive amounts of turkey
and everything else to eat as we've got Thanksgiving right
around the corner, schmidte and people of course starting to
make their plans, maybe talking about what they're bringing to
their family Thanksgiving if they're not the ones who are
just putting out that entire spread. So I wanted to
know if you could leave one of those Thanksgiving staples
off the menu this year, which one is it gonna
(27:09):
be for you? Because my sister in law we went
through and my in laws are hosting Thanksgiving this year,
and so we're on a big group text about everybody
who's bringing theirs and my one sister in law who's
not back at work yet so she's not listening right now.
She always brings this green bean castrole. Oh yeah, yeah,
And I do love some green bean castrole, but she
doesn't make the kind that I like, which is the
(27:30):
kind with non she makes a fresh one, all right.
She does everything from scratch, and I hate that. I
just want my Campbell's soup cream a mushroom. I want
those sliced green beans.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
I want like the old school.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I need the French fried onions or don't put it
by me. I want at least a full can and
a half.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
So I'm not a big fan of hers. You know,
it is what it is. But she didn't mention that
she brought. She talked about the different pies they were bringing,
and there was no mention of this green bean castrole.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
And I'm like, good, get it out of here.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Hopefully I'll send it to the mood bought pies. Give
me some of that grand Traverse High company.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
And it looks like I put this up on our
Facebook at West Michigan Star, and I feel like green
bean cast role might be the red headed stepchild of
the Thanksgiving size.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
It looks that way to me, dude.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Stuffing is disgusting? Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Stuffing is the worst possible Thanksgiving dish? And anyone who
says otherwise is just being polite. And it kills my
poor mother because it is my grandmother's recipe and she
makes it so well, I'm sure, except that stuffing is gross.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
There's no like taste to it. There's nothing that's interesting
about it.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
I couldn't disagree.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I think that it is the most wasted dish at
a holiday period.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
My family makes so much extra stuffing because it's the
thing everybody wants afterwards.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Our stuffing is so good. I will give you this though.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
It's curious though I've done other people's thanksgivings, and I'm
gonna tell you stuffing is usually the thing most left over,
So I think there's a bit of a conspira see
here with the stuffing.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
It's possible.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
My question, does your mom cook the stuffing separate or
does she one of those people who puts the stuffing
inside of the turkey to cook it? Because that, to
me is nasty. That to me is gross.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
I don't like.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Nineteen ninety nine Aunt Judy stuffing and a cold bird
and we all went home and got food poisoning for
three days. So take that as a lesson, my friends.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Some down. Does that get a good feeling?
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Well, let's power you through the start of this week.
It's feeling good on Stallino five point seven, Mac and
Smitty hanging out.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
This is why we love and thank our servicemen and
women as often as possible, because they never end that service.
A Detroit veteran has provided free housing for hundreds of
people at his Michigan farmhouse. Patrick Bell lives in Lapierre
and the story starts back in twenty thirteen when he
(29:57):
created Caroline House, a house where he has up to
twenty people at a time, primarily veterans, staying for free
as they work to get back on their feet. This
is incredible. It's named after his daughter, who tragically passed
away at six years old. He bought the ten bedroom,
flour bath farmhouse in October of twenty thirteen, and while
(30:20):
he was spending his weekends handing out food to people
who were unhoused, a guy came up and said, Hey,
I would work on your farm for free if you'd
allow me to stay in your barn. Bell says, boom.
That is when a light bulb went off, and he
knew from his time as a marine in the Vietnam
War that many fellow veterans were without housing. In particular,
(30:43):
he decided to come up with an idea to fix that.
He says, this is not a shelter, this is a
home about twenty two people can stay here at a time,
we dined together. We're family, and I work to help
them get back on their feet. And that's what he
has done since twenty thirteen. And get this, and it's
eleventh year. He tells ABC seven he's got a ninety
(31:05):
seven percent success rate of getting these veterans back on
their feet and feeling as incredible as they deserve to,
which is clearly very touching for Pat.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
Well, it's like getting that I'm signing the oh way here.
So I was leaving nobody building, So that's right, trying
not to do when I was interview I now more.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
We're pretty special human.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
I mean, when you think of opening your door to
somebody else as a figurative thing, this man doing it
literally and helping out his fellow service.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Members, hundreds of people at this point.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
Super cool, All right, Smitdi.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
You might see this if you make it to downtown
Detroit or maybe perhaps soon enough here in West Michigan,
because there's a new giving machine in downtown Detroit that
allows people to donate items to those in need by simply,
you know, swiping or tapping a credit card, just like
a normal vending machine. It's located at Campus Meridith Park
and is sponsored by the of Jesus Christ of Latter
day Saints, but it's kind of a different vending machine.
(32:03):
So far has raised over thirty two million dollars since
it launched in twenty seventeen. This year there'll be at
one hundred and six different cities and in thirteen countries.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
Actually.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Joan Johanson is the project manager for the Giving Machine
in Detroit, kind of explaining what this is and where
these charity dollars will be going.
Speaker 9 (32:23):
This is a reverse vending machine where you can give
instead of get their five local charities that are really
represent our community and a diversity that we have here
in Detroit.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Yeah, some of those charities like the Jewish Family Services,
Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan, and several international nonprofits too.
It's really cool because, like I said, you could just
walk by. It makes giving to others super easy, with
one hundred percent of the proceeds going directly to those
chosen charities and their causes. Now, what's really awesome is
to get to stay in Detroit until December eighth, sventy
(32:57):
before it comes to Grand Rapids for the rest of
the holiday season. So when we find out that location
for the giving machine in Grand Rapids, we'll be sure
to let you know definitely. And of course, feeling good
comes at you a couple times today and this week.
It's all brought to you our friends at the seventeenth
annual Grand Rapids International Wine, Beer and Food Festival.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, we've been hooking you up with tickets the Cheers
for Charity event this Thursday night with the festival Friday
and Saturday at Devas.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
You win those tickets too at West Michigan Star dot
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Com Mackenschmidty in the morning weekday starting at six am
on Star one oh five point seven
Mack and Schmidty in the morning on West Michigan's Christmas
station Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well, good morning, Schmidty, Hey, good morning, and man for
a Monday. Unfortunately it is off to a soup a start.
Give yourself a ton of extra time driving in today.
It is bad. I could see almost nothing on my
drive in north.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Of the city.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Dense fog advisory for most counties through about ten am
this morning. And there's even some school delays that are rolling.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, Allagan Public, East Martin, Christian and Hopkins all delayed
two hours right now, and expect to see a few
more as kind of those principles are waking up and
going ooh, this is tough for the buses.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Honestly, this is some of the most widespread in dense
fog I can remember seeing, and you know what I mean,
at least in the last few years, because it is
very thick out there. I mean when I was going
even seeing like stoplights up ahead, maybe thirty forty feet
ahead of you before you started seeing those.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
H it's not a seventy mile an hour on the
expressway kind of morning. And of course you're also dealing
with deer. I saw a ton on the way in.
So I don't know, get the brides going, but if
you're telling yourself you're looking out that window, definitely leave
a little earlier.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Because even I'm like, whoa, this was a little rough.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well it wasn't exactly hassle free, but Netflix did just
release the numbers for how many people ended up tuning
in to that live fight Friday night between Jake Paul
and Mike Tyson, and it is pretty staggering. According to
the streaming giant, the event drew sixty million households globally,
(01:44):
peaking at sixty five million concurrent streams now. That came
with quite a headache, as it was widely reported that
viewers had serious issues, including a lot of lag, a
constant loading button with the app, even freeze or crashing
throughout the fight. Plus there was a lot of less
(02:04):
than impressed fans when it came to the actual Tyson
Paul fight, they felt it was pretty lack luster. However,
Katie Taylor versus Amanda Serrano, if you had fifty million households,
globally had some serious, serious, top tier comments, people saying this,
(02:24):
this is what we would have paid for now. Mike Tyson,
of course losing to Jake Paul if you did not watch,
but the boxing legend took to X over the weekend
saying he's got no regrets. It's a situation where even
participating in the brawl felt like a victory. But for
Netflix execs, they got to get this figured out because
they've got a couple of other really big live sporting
events coming up in the next few weeks, and this
(02:47):
was not a really great move according to customers.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, you know, for Mike Tyson, I'm sure his bank
account feels pretty good with just showing up and being
there for this. I'd be really curious to know whether
or not Netflix feels like this was a massive success
or kind of a setback for the middle.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I had five friends that canceled their accounts over the weekend.
They were so unimpressed with how awful it was. Two
of my friends never saw the fight. It never loaded
for them. Oh wow, it'll be interesting. Josh Brolin, the actor,
talking about his relationship with mom in a new memoir
touching on addiction and mentioning a story that has the
(03:25):
Internet going wild. So From Under the Truck is his memoir.
The actor sitting down for an interview with The Times
over the weekend, talking about a reference to his mom
and her boyfriend and about the drinking that really got
out of hand. So, his mom, Jane, was actually a
wildlife conservationist before she passed back in the mid nineties,
(03:47):
and would often yell sick them to any wild animals
that were on the property, cougar's coyotes, bobcats, who would
then usually chase after Josh and his brother Jess. In fact,
in the Roland writes, you knew if you didn't get
on the other side of that shut door within a
couple of seconds, you'd be cleaning up fresh bloody marks
(04:07):
somewhere on your body for the rest of the day.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
This is his mother, who is Carol Baskin.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, apparently it's interesting, though, he said, listen, I'm not
gonna talk about like how horrifying this was, because, no
matter what, my mom may have been a pain in
the behind, but she was never someone you didn't want
to be around. This is gonna be a very interesting memoir.
From Under the Truck drops tomorrow. Wow, Mom, sounds like Beastmaster,
(04:36):
I'm so excusing.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Sounds like a CPS call.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And finally, Sabrina Carpenter thrilling fans with an unbelievable surprise
over the weekend, bringing out one of the goats of music,
Christina Aguilera, the Espresso singer, performing at Crypto dot Com Arena.
When all you had to hear was that first note
from Christina and the audience went wild.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Isn't that incredible?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
They also reportedly saying what a girl wants together their
second time kind of doing a surprise duet they sing
together back in September for the twenty fifth anniversary of
Aguilera's self titled debut album.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Do you feel like they kind of look like each other?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Look and on stage like they were twins.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
They both had all this like black ensemble with those
blonde locks, but they sound.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
So good together.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I've got the video for you with your scoop at
West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Sometimes does that get a good.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Well, the good stuff sell around you. When you're looking
for it, we try and help you find it.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Every morning.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Feeling good on Starwino five points seven is Smackagemitty with
you and seventy four year old Jean Wolf of Pennsylvania.
She was having a rough week already, and then it
got a little bit worse because she was preparing for
her mother's passing. Her mom, actually in hospice care, was
nearing her final moments, and Jean had been preparing for
that time, and she absent mindedly, after speaking with the neighborhood,
(06:20):
placed her phone and the folder that contained all of
her mom's funeral readings and plans on the trunk of
her car. Well, we've all been there in that awful moment,
she rushed off. She forgot about them, and the item
scattered across a busy highway. Was hours later when she
realized what she had done, and she said, I didn't
care about my phone at all. I cared about the papers.
(06:41):
I thought, where do I start now? Well, that's when
you can enter Arnie Denoff, whose plans for the day
took a pretty wild turn. He spotted a bunch of
papers scattering across the road, decided to pull over, brave
the traffic, collected what he could, and among others, he
found an obituary. He said, I thought, oh my god, gosh,
somebody's just passed away. They probably need to make arrangements.
(07:03):
He also found Jeane's phone, which started ringing her daughter
on the other end, and Arnie just assured him that
the phone and the notebook would be fine. Got him
back to Jane, which was a godsend. But that's not
where Arnie's kindness stopped. He found out that the most
important paper, a handwritten note that contained the funeral's final details,
was still missing. So schmiddy, this guy went back. He
(07:26):
went back to the spot on the highway that he found,
and he actually recovered the most critical paper. Said, the
one paper I needed most of all is the one
he found. Jean told her local news. She said that
Arnie felt like a guardian angel in a God send.
She offered him money, he kindly refused, so she baked
him some homemade Christmas cookies and gave him the nickname
(07:48):
Arnie the Angel.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Mine is quick and wonderful.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
For Lyons fans, Aiden Hutchinson is on the Men the House,
hutch posting this video over the weeks.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Again, you can't probably tell what this is, I'll tell
you it's Aiden.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
In a rehab pool, looking incredible. He is working both
those legs. You should read through the comments. If Aiden
can play football months after snapping his leg, there's no
reason I can't get off my behind and vacuum.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
My house right now.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Boy, if Hutch makes it back for the playoffs, that
a boy, Hutch and my favorite Von Miller, this is
the goat. If Hutch makes it back before the playoffs,
of course, another huge round of applause, standing ovation. Over
the weekend, Hutch was back in the house at Ford Field.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
You can see the strength got it up in our
insta stories at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I mean, we're just having so much fun every week
right now. It's just a bummer not to have him
out there. But every week is this reminder how insane
of a season he was having, because as of this week,
he'd still be top ten and seved the league. Even
though oh when you see this.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Video he's still top ten.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You can see him putting some serious work in Lions
fans and you're gonna love it.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Well, the drama continues between now X's Zach Bryan, the
country star, an ex girlfriend Brianna Chicken Fry, and Brianna
is now threatening to release a video of alleged abuse
in their relationships. So let me give you some backstory here.
This was on TikTok over the weekend. Apparently the two
(09:37):
of them had a cat together, and when they broke up,
Zach took the cat, which Brianna sing was hers.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And is refusing to give it back.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
What's worse, he's trolling her with constant videos on his
social media of him and the cat.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
This is Brianna over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
If this man's post my fucking cat one more time,
I'm gonna post videos of you whipping shit at my face.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
So can you stop and posting my and rubbing it
in my face?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It is nasty worth pointing out too.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Brianna was that the Big Tyson Paul fight over the weekend,
and video surfaced of a Zach Bryan song getting played
over the loud speakers and then her and all of
her friends with a big thumbs down. But she's claiming
to release this tape, which she said is just going
to show further abuse in this relationship, and how awful
of a human.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
He really is.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I'm sorry, but this abuse is the was it the
food fight? We're referencing a food fight? I mean, I
don't know what the video is, but it seems like we're.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
We're not giving details on what this video would be of.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
It sounds of I'll share that video of you throwing
food at me. But she said it right, No.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
No, I bleeped out what the word was She said,
whipping stuff and ah, the comments are really like, this
guy sounds pretty horrible. Now, interesting enough, Dave Portnoy, founder
of Barstool, who she's really good friends with, said release it,
post it, and so she had allegedly sent it to him.
She's kind of been leaning on them for support here,
(11:02):
but this guy sounds like the absolute worst. Kristin Cavalari
is revealing the identity of her hottest hookup and it
turns out he is a major Hollywood star and absolutely
nobody knew about this. So, if you have heard of
the Suspect challenge, which is viral on TikTok where one
(11:22):
person jocks next to another and they kind of roast
each other jokingly back and forth, this was one of
Kristen's friends outing this big secret suspects.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Hotest hookup that she's never told anybody about was Jason Stathum.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Jason Stathum, Yes, not sure like when this all went down,
but Kristen did admit, like yeah, and it was like
one of my greatest.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That's the world we live in.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Next up, of course, the big Netflix live event Mike
Tyson versus Jake Paul Friday Night. Numbers have been released,
bringing in a massive sixty million households globally that watched
the live event. Painked at sixty five million concurrent streams,
which did give Netflix quite a few problems. A lot
(12:09):
of customers reporting outages that the app was freezing, sometimes crashing.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
A few couldn't even get into the fight.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We also saw a very different side of Mike Tyson.
His booty is trending after that fight.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
If you missed it.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
After a big interview, he turned around and Netflix couldn't
quite pan up fast enough and he was kind of
wearing some open ended shorts. It has gone so viral
that a DJ in Vegas actually used his booty as
part of his set, with.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Tyson's booty shaking on a huge screen in Vegas to
the beat.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
So yeah, well, the fight was a spectac it makes
sense that afterwards that continues.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Basically all of your celebscoop at West Michigan start.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Out selling a fun point. See I have a good
morn into you. It's Mack and Schmidty back at it
on a Monday, Smitty, how are you feeling this morning?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Okay, not great? I almost called in. I really truly
did you guys, it has happened. I have suffered just
an embarrassing old person injury. I hear the stories. I
know We've talked about this on the show in the past.
Like age gets you, I come touch you fast. You
guys know, have just been getting over being really really
(13:32):
sick and finally feeling better. And I sneezed so hard
I've either pulled a muscle or bruised a rib. I
cannot move the right side of my body without experiencing
excruciating pain.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
From us sneeze. What happened?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Your thirties are not supposed to be this unfair?
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I have to ask, because, as somebody who sits in
the studio with you every day, I've heard your sneeze
countless times, right, and you have the ability to do
the silent sneeze pretty well. So I guess my question is,
what did this sneeze look like? Do you feel like
perhaps trying to hold it in?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I did your body. I was in my living room
all by my shage one. It was a regular person sneeze.
And now like I'm trying to figure out what to do,
Like I don't know if I need to go into
a chiropractor, get a massage, do something homeopathic, because I
feel like it's only getting worse. I can't carry like
(14:37):
my work bag on that side if I honestly, if
I bend a certain.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Way, I'm like, because of a sneeze, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
And then to make matters even more embarrassing, all weekend,
I was out hosting a really great event Saturday night
for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and I'm talking with a
few people that were like, man.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
We're used to seeing you out on the dance floor
like all the time. I go, well, I sneezed, and
I think I might have pulled my trapazoid.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And I see these looks as I tell multiple people
I think I've pulled my trapazoid, and then I look
at my best friend.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
I'm like, I don't think that's right.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So she texts her husband and goes, is trapezoid a
muscle or a shape, to which he responds shape trapezius.
How many people have you told that too? So now
not only am I injured, I'm dumb. It's just been
a real weekend, and I'm curious as to your worst
embarrassing adult injury. Like I climbed the stairs and I
(15:41):
ended up breaking an ankle.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I honestly, I just took a weird step. It was
just a weird step while I was coaching my son's
football team, and at first it just felt like a pang.
And then after the game we went to a cony
and I was basically trapped in the booth. I was
just like, you know what, I'll be able to eat
here for a few days. You guys just leave me
because I cannot move a muscle right now without just
being in screaming pain.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I put a video of me like trying to foam
roller this out on our Facebook. I just say, I'm complaining.
Timothy tore his achilles as an adult.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
So now I feel a little bit better because I think.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
My trap azoid might heal a little bit faster six
one six four eight, one oh five seven your most
embarrassing adult injury, and if you have any idea on
how I can fix my back besides never sneezing again,
I'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Wow, severing your achilles smittie is like the stuff of
nightmares to me. I can't even remember who described it
to me the first time, but I have never been
able to shake the vision of it rolling up like
a lampshade inside of your leg like no, right, here
are the facts, but.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
I'm just like that's all.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
I'm just curious out in.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
The background at our house. I feel the same way
about Thanksgiving. Yeah, it's all right. Speaking of the Lions
and the big Thanksgiving game that will be coming up,
they will be without defensive captain and middle linebacker Alex Anzeloney.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Oh boy, did you see this? Yesterday?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
A stunning fifty two to six victory over the Jags,
but unfortunately Alex with a broken forearm. Check out the moment.
Even the announcers are like, ooh, can't be good.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
It looks like they're getting attention to that shoulder and arm.
He is going right to the locker room.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
See that left arm gets extended. Oh, it was rough
to watch.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Lions head coach Dan Campbell did confirm anzelone out six
to eight weeks with the Lions and seven games remaining
in the regular season.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I mean he is a huge piece to that defense too.
That's already without Aiden Hutchinson. We can't have guys dropping
like this.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
It sucks, but you know what doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Big Sean says, the Lions are taking it all and
he's ready to be in New Orleans when it happens.
The Rapper and of course Detroit native, spoke with tn
Z at an event yesterday, saying, bet all your money
on it.
Speaker 5 (21:48):

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Absolutely, are your money on the Lions.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I swear to God. And you know I don't e will.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
I like to bet against Patrick moms Man, but hey,
I gotta go with the Lions.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Brother.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And he doesn't say whether it would be necessarily Lions
versus Chiefs in that Super Bowl, but he says, hmm,
does not matter what the lineup we've got.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
It's going to be them, I will say too. Vegas
agrees as of the Chief's first loss yesterday. The Lions
are now the betting odds on favorite to win the
Super Bowl. Knocking on all the wood.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
All right, all of your celeb scoop at West Michigan
Star dot com.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
That's doing.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
It is time for your Christmas quiz and getting you
out to see the over two million lights before basically
everybody else for at LMCU Ballpark for the Christmas Lightshipsmittie, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
The Winter wonder Walk this weekend. Great for the kids.
Think of the pictures.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
We're gonna hook you up with tickets to LMCU Ballpark
with today's Christmas quiz. The answer what's something on every
Mom's Christmas List?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Whenever we would ask my mom as kids, she would
just say children who behave every year without a doubt.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
It's nice.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I was gonna say hotel room all by myself, where
no one knows what hotel I mean, an act or
whether my phone will be on six one six four
five eight one oh five seven. Come on, moms, be honest,
what is something on every Mom's Christmas list? Caller seven?
You got that answer. You're going to the Winter wonder
Walk with our friends at the Christmas light show.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Good morning star. Who's this Angela? Where are you calling
from today?
Speaker 9 (23:20):
I'm in Manawan?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Alright, Angela? Are you a mom? Angela?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I am a mom.
Speaker 9 (23:25):
I'm sitting at the bus stop right now.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Sit at the bus stop right now. Yeah, that's that's
on par for momhood at this moment. My question for
you is, if you can, what does mom Andrea actually
want for Christmas this year?
Speaker 8 (23:37):
Peace and quiet?
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Ooh, pace and quiet. That's that's a pretty good one
right there. And I think it's probably pretty high on
our list. But let's see here. One hundred adults were
asked what is something on every mom's Christmas list?
Speaker 6 (23:49):
What do you think they said? Is their top answer?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Oh, my son's not going to Disney.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I like your son's idea. That's that's on my list.
So it for sure as the top of my mom's too.
I mean, why would it not be, it's the.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
Top of mine.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Scented candles, I.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Guess scented candles.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Okay, so that's funny because I feel like scented candles
are what moms always get, but not ever what they
actually always want.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
That's not on there.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I'm sorry, you too, thank you, Hi Star?
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Who's this Amber? Amber?
Speaker 4 (24:24):
I just got a great guest, but not the top answer.
When one hundred adults were asked what's something on every
mom's Christmas list? I just heard scented candles, which definitely
moms seem to always wind up getting around the holidays.
But that was not on there. So what do you
think it is?
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Amber?
Speaker 9 (24:39):
Ay?
Speaker 6 (24:39):
Vacation? A vacation, You're not far off.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
SPA day getaway is actually the number two most common answer.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
I'm sorry, thank you, thank's Amber.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Hi Star? Who's this Grayson? All right?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
One hundred adults were asked to name something on every
mom's Christmas list? And so I heard scented candles and
I just heard a vacation and a getaway slash. SPA
day was the number two most common answer, but not
the top of the list. So what do you think
it is?
Speaker 8 (25:09):
So?
Speaker 7 (25:09):
Spotday was second.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
SPA day was second.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
All right, we're gonna say time with her family? Oh,
time with family?
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Oh that's so sweet, But does any mom actually really
want that.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
On Christmas? I'm a mom and I want them.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Not on there, although I will tell you family pictures
is the number four most common answer, So I suppose
that's close in there, but not the top list. Thanks guys,
Thank you, having good day, you too, Hi Star.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Who's this?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
It's a treasure, treasure, So here's the deal. I just
got some good guesses, but I don't have the top
answer yet. One hundred adults were asked to name something
on every mom's Christmas list, and I've heard scented candles.
I heard a vacation. A getaway slash spa day was
the number two most common answer. I heard time together
as a family, and family photos was actually the number
(26:02):
four most common answer. So you still got a chance here.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
What do you think? The top answer was treasure.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Nap A nap, Yeah, just leave me alone for a
little while.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
That's time. Congresolations, Yes, thank you.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Hi, guess you want to bring the kiddos treasure to
go check out the Christmas light show at LMCU Ballpark
during the Winter wonder.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
Walk this weekend. Congrats, Thank you. Yes, it was a nap.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Followed by a spa day slash getaway, then a babysitter,
and then family photos, rounding out those top answers today.
Just in case you're curious, what moms are looking for
this year. Guys, we'll do it again tomorrow, another chance
to win eight to fifteen here on Starbino five point seven. Yes,
Happy holidaycu and that includes all of them, not just Christmas.
(26:47):
But of course we got some massive amounts of turkey
and everything else to eat as we've got Thanksgiving right
around the corner, schmidte and people of course starting to
make their plans, maybe talking about what they're bringing to
their family Thanksgiving if they're not the ones who are
just putting out that entire spread. So I wanted to
know if you could leave one of those Thanksgiving staples
off the menu this year, which one is it gonna
(27:09):
be for you? Because my sister in law we went
through and my in laws are hosting Thanksgiving this year,
and so we're on a big group text about everybody
who's bringing theirs and my one sister in law who's
not back at work yet so she's not listening right now.
She always brings this green bean castrole. Oh yeah, yeah,
And I do love some green bean castrole, but she
doesn't make the kind that I like, which is the
(27:30):
kind with non she makes a fresh one, all right.
She does everything from scratch, and I hate that. I
just want my Campbell's soup cream a mushroom. I want
those sliced green beans.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
I want like the old school.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I need the French fried onions or don't put it
by me. I want at least a full can and
a half.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
So I'm not a big fan of hers. You know,
it is what it is. But she didn't mention that
she brought. She talked about the different pies they were bringing,
and there was no mention of this green bean castrole.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
And I'm like, good, get it out of here.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Hopefully I'll send it to the mood bought pies. Give
me some of that grand Traverse High company.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
And it looks like I put this up on our
Facebook at West Michigan Star, and I feel like green
bean cast role might be the red headed stepchild of
the Thanksgiving size.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
It looks that way to me, dude.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Stuffing is disgusting? Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Stuffing is the worst possible Thanksgiving dish? And anyone who
says otherwise is just being polite. And it kills my
poor mother because it is my grandmother's recipe and she
makes it so well, I'm sure, except that stuffing is gross.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
There's no like taste to it. There's nothing that's interesting
about it.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
I couldn't disagree.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I think that it is the most wasted dish at
a holiday period.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
My family makes so much extra stuffing because it's the
thing everybody wants afterwards.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Our stuffing is so good. I will give you this though.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
It's curious though I've done other people's thanksgivings, and I'm
gonna tell you stuffing is usually the thing most left over,
So I think there's a bit of a conspira see
here with the stuffing.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
It's possible.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
My question, does your mom cook the stuffing separate or
does she one of those people who puts the stuffing
inside of the turkey to cook it? Because that, to
me is nasty. That to me is gross.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
I don't like.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Nineteen ninety nine Aunt Judy stuffing and a cold bird
and we all went home and got food poisoning for
three days. So take that as a lesson, my friends.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Some down. Does that get a good feeling?
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Well, let's power you through the start of this week.
It's feeling good on Stallino five point seven, Mac and
Smitty hanging out.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
This is why we love and thank our servicemen and
women as often as possible, because they never end that service.
A Detroit veteran has provided free housing for hundreds of
people at his Michigan farmhouse. Patrick Bell lives in Lapierre
and the story starts back in twenty thirteen when he
(29:57):
created Caroline House, a house where he has up to
twenty people at a time, primarily veterans, staying for free
as they work to get back on their feet. This
is incredible. It's named after his daughter, who tragically passed
away at six years old. He bought the ten bedroom,
flour bath farmhouse in October of twenty thirteen, and while
(30:20):
he was spending his weekends handing out food to people
who were unhoused, a guy came up and said, Hey,
I would work on your farm for free if you'd
allow me to stay in your barn. Bell says, boom.
That is when a light bulb went off, and he
knew from his time as a marine in the Vietnam
War that many fellow veterans were without housing. In particular,
(30:43):
he decided to come up with an idea to fix that.
He says, this is not a shelter, this is a
home about twenty two people can stay here at a time,
we dined together. We're family, and I work to help
them get back on their feet. And that's what he
has done since twenty thirteen. And get this, and it's
eleventh year. He tells ABC seven he's got a ninety
(31:05):
seven percent success rate of getting these veterans back on
their feet and feeling as incredible as they deserve to,
which is clearly very touching for Pat.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
Well, it's like getting that I'm signing the oh way here.
So I was leaving nobody building, So that's right, trying
not to do when I was interview I now more.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
We're pretty special human.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
I mean, when you think of opening your door to
somebody else as a figurative thing, this man doing it
literally and helping out his fellow service.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Members, hundreds of people at this point.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
Super cool, All right, Smitdi.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
You might see this if you make it to downtown
Detroit or maybe perhaps soon enough here in West Michigan,
because there's a new giving machine in downtown Detroit that
allows people to donate items to those in need by simply,
you know, swiping or tapping a credit card, just like
a normal vending machine. It's located at Campus Meridith Park
and is sponsored by the of Jesus Christ of Latter
day Saints, but it's kind of a different vending machine.
(32:03):
So far has raised over thirty two million dollars since
it launched in twenty seventeen. This year there'll be at
one hundred and six different cities and in thirteen countries.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
Actually.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Joan Johanson is the project manager for the Giving Machine
in Detroit, kind of explaining what this is and where
these charity dollars will be going.
Speaker 9 (32:23):
This is a reverse vending machine where you can give
instead of get their five local charities that are really
represent our community and a diversity that we have here
in Detroit.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Yeah, some of those charities like the Jewish Family Services,
Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan, and several international nonprofits too.
It's really cool because, like I said, you could just
walk by. It makes giving to others super easy, with
one hundred percent of the proceeds going directly to those
chosen charities and their causes. Now, what's really awesome is
to get to stay in Detroit until December eighth, sventy
(32:57):
before it comes to Grand Rapids for the rest of
the holiday season. So when we find out that location
for the giving machine in Grand Rapids, we'll be sure
to let you know definitely. And of course, feeling good
comes at you a couple times today and this week.
It's all brought to you our friends at the seventeenth
annual Grand Rapids International Wine, Beer and Food Festival.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, we've been hooking you up with tickets the Cheers
for Charity event this Thursday night with the festival Friday
and Saturday at Devas.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
You win those tickets too at West Michigan Star dot
