Speaker 1 (00:03):
Wake up.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It gets my day going and makes me lab.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the Morning on Star one of
five point seven. Hey, well, good morning, Schmitting, Good morning,
Welcome into your Tuesday. Give me another beautiful and warm day.
I don't think we're going to actually see a cloud
till like Friday. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So nice lots of sunshine coming away heights today in
the low to mid eighties across West Michigan. Pretty beautiful.
But wake it up this morning, Schmitty. You know when
I tried to go to bed with a comfort show
last night, I tried that spin off of.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
The Office, Oh paper something.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
The paper is what it's called. And you know when
you have grown accustomed to something and it fits you
so well and so perfect, and then you go to
try on the brand new version of that thing and
it's just not the same.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
So I've heard very mixed reactions. I've heard it's exactly
like the Office and not super good.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I like it. I would just warn any office fans,
like you're going into something with an expectation of something
that's extremely familiar to you.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
It literally has someone from the office in it.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
It has asked me you know what I thought about
it because I know you're not like the biggest Office
fan ever. So I was like, it'd be like if
they redid Parks and Rec. Yeah, and it went to
a whole different place.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
But they would never do that because Parks and Rec
was perfection.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Maybe the only character they bring in is Jerry, Like
that's the only character from Parks that they move on,
because that's what they did with Oscar. But I'm working
my way into it. I wouldn't run it off yet.
I'm gonna watch the entire first season and I are
very different people.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
I'm watching the Charlie Sheen documentary. I heard it's awesome
and it's interesting. I'll tell you, if anybody had dare
in fifth grade, go ahead and watch the Charlie Sheen
documentary and you'll probably learn even more of why sometimes
you don't take the road less travel when it comes
to substances.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Drugs are bad people. That's the moral of the Charlie
Sheen story.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
I'm pretty sure movies, music, and all the gossip in
one place.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's the celebrity scoop. On Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Nick Cannon getting very handed about his unorthodox journey to fatherhood.
During an appearance on our iHeartRadio show The Breakfast Club,
the forty four year old opened up about his process
of becoming a dad of twelve currently and said that
welcoming his kids, he's now realizing was a response to
(02:19):
something he didn't realize what's going on.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So you think having all those kids was a response
to your trauma?
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Yeahred hundred now that now I'm learning that now.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
And it wasn't and it wasn't like I was acting out.
It was more of being careless, being frivolous with my
process because I could do it, because I had the money,
because I had the access to whoever, and however I
wanted to move. And you know, okay, they coming at me,
(02:51):
they asking me opposed to like doing a mature thing
and saying, hey, well it probably makes more sense to
do this.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
If asked if he had maybe on the inner work
or some therapy, he maybe would not have had twelve kids.
The star said, I'm really not sure. I've always said this.
Every child that I had was made out of love
and there were strong relationships, so it might still have happened.
But it's a really deep interview and the most he
has ever talked about how many children he has and
(03:18):
being a dad to all twelve of those kids.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Something tells me later in life he's not going to
regret it at all. Yeah, right now he's being introspective,
but I think later on he's just gonna love all
that family.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Got the interview for you at West Michigan Star dot com.
Lilma's ex prioritizing his physical and mental health after that
arrest in LA last month, caught out on the roadway naked,
he has now entered an inpatient treatment program. The Old
Town Road attorneys present represented him in court. A judge
(03:49):
has now modified the conditions of his arrest in order
for him to be treated out of state and an
undisclosed location. His bail is still set at seventy five
thousand dollars that they're holding while he is in treatment,
and he does have a court date scheduled for November eighteenth,
but fans were very happy to hear this. He's facing
three felony counts, including battery causing injury to a police officer.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
Well.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Nazex's father has been very vocal about the pressures of
fame buckling his son's mind and of course, his long
awaited dream Boy album has now been delayed.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
You know, I'm sure now he's sober and getting all
those things. What a flip out that was. I mean
to have it all be telling, you know, video like
the head as You're roaming through the street, the tune though.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Yeah, finally they're calling it the Bieber comeback.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
He is slated to headline Coachella.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yesterday, the giant announcement came out of the famed music
festival from California. It was announced Sabrina Carpenter, Carol g
and others will also be joining Bieber. This is a
very big deal for Sabrina as well. Others announced for
this year's bill Iggy Pop, David Byrne, Devo, Inner Pole,
and The Strokes. As for that surprise act, like last year,
(05:07):
we saw some Travis Scott No Doubt Reunion was part
of Coachella. The bottom of the bill says the bunker
debut of Radiohead Kid am Niesia. So this is the
Tom York fronted band that we have not seen a
ton of recently, even though they have headlined at Coachella before.
So passes go on sale Friday. If you have a
(05:29):
ton of dough in your pocket for that.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Honestly, I think that's the best Coachella line if I've
heard in years.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Sure, right, yeah's all right?
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I like and I like the Sabrina all of your
celeb scoop at West Michigan.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, you're in the right spat if you look for
a little positivity to start out the day, because that's
what we provide each morning. It's feeling good on star
Win on Fine point seven, Mack and Smitty hanging out.
And this year, as you raise a glass for the
City of Grand Rapids and seventy fifth anniversary, go ahead
and do it with their own official beer from City Built.
(06:00):
That just fits right. They have marked an official one
hundred and seventy fifth anniversary beer with the City of
Grand Rapids, a light Lagger done in collaboration, debut just
yesterday part of the year long celebration of Grand Rapids
in corporation as the city all the way back in
eighteen fifty. So this brand new beer, the can Design Flora,
(06:25):
was actually created by Kendall College of Art and Design
student Abe Jigena, who won a student design competition for this.
So the can the brewing the beer. All of it's
right here in Grand Rapids City leaders and City Built Brewing,
describing the collaboration as a tribute to Grand Rapids identity
as beer city. Edwin Calazzo, the CEO of City Built Brewing, saying,
(06:48):
we're thrilled to get the call from the City. It's
an incredible to see our two teams collaborate so seamlessly
to bring this beer to life. As we've always said,
you built this city, we brew its beer. We truly
are so pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Also, you can get that at tons of places across
West Michigan. So any really cool local spot, I'll probably
have it on t Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Frederick Meyer Garden's Performance Hall, and of course City Builds
tap room as well.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
All right, let's talk about a Michigan mom that has
gone viral on TikTok because of a very simple but
very important lesson. Evy and her mom, Tara, a West
Michigan family gearing up for kindergarten. Evy just started a
couple of weeks ago, and mom's sharing a very important point.
Speaker 9 (07:29):
What are some differences that you notice about other people?
Some people are tan, some people are tan.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And some people are black.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
Some people are black, is that something to make fun
of somebody about.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Pall no American fire paper nice.
Speaker 9 (07:46):
Making fun of people is not nice. It is never
okay to make fun of somebody for their skin color,
their height. Some people are skinny, some people are bigger.
The cool thing about being a human is that we're
all different.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
And it has resounded across the world almost four million
views with tons of parents going, this is exactly how
we should be raising our kids, and Tara admits it
comes from a place of toxicity when she grew up.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
I grew up in a very toxic and abusive home,
and so raising my kids, it has been very important
to me to be the one that breaks the cycle.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I love you, oh Tara. From one mom to another,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
We are raising kind kids and we love it. Got
the video for y at West Michigan's Star dot com.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It's the celebrities group on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Well, it was definitely a surprise to some fans. Actress
Jamie Lee Curtis breaking down in tears over last week's
murderer of Charlie Kirk, getting very emotional about his death,
sing even though she disagreed with most of what he said,
the part about his faith and being gunned down in
such an abortant way was something that everyone should be
(09:03):
very concerned about. This is on WTF with Mark Marin
in the latest episode from that pod.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever
heard him say, but I believe he was a man
of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died,
that he felt connected to his faith. Even though I
find what his ideas were abhorrent to me, I still
believe he's a father and a husband and a man
(09:28):
of faith, and I hope whatever connection to God means
that he felt it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Very moving stuff. As an update, that suspected twenty two
year old shooter will have his first court appearance today
multiple charges. Not until later though five pm Eastern time,
we will see him in front of a judge. Rava
McIntyre shedding light on how her step grandkids are doing
in the aftermath of their father, Brandon Blackstock's death. They're
(10:00):
still very much in the thick of grief, but there
is a silver lining. She gave the update to Entertainment tonight.
Well we missime, We we mission every minute.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
The kids are doing well.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
They're all bonding together and hanging out with each other
and taking it one day at time.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
We know, gotch got this.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So that was very cute.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Obviously, Brandon had kids from a previous relationship, and it
sounds like all of them are really bonding and banding
together and kind of taking on this grief together, which
Reba says has been a really moving part of this loss.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, that's great that the kids are finding some solace
together like that. And how about Riba Riba getting engaged again?
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Like, I had no idea who Rex Lynn is? You
guys CSI Miami and the guy in charge of the
police department is about to be RIBA's new hobby. They've
been dating for five years and announced their engagement yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I'm with you, I had no idea that guy existed.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Finally, I am so excited about this announcement. Guess who
is joining NBC's coverage for this Sear's Winter Olympics. None
other than the legendary Stanley Tucci, the devilwares Prada actor,
announcing on Instagram yesterday be rolling.
Speaker 11 (11:09):

Dogg doing the Olympics quite possibly.

add Snoop in there? All of your celeb Scoop at
West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Good morning to you. It's Mac and Schmidty and you
just brought up school snacks. And if there's one thing
that will upset me to shame Schmidti, it's snacks. Can
shame a good snack?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Well, you are and they are.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
This is wild.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I've actually first saw this on my TikTok because this
mom was so stunned by the note she got from
her teacher about her kid's snack. And I'm not sure
where this mom is at, but the note reads, your
child's snack of pretzels written in a blank line. So
this is something that goes out to any kid that
(12:26):
gets a bad snack right, did not meet our four
K classroom snack policy. Please make sure to send only fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese,
or yogurt for their snack. Goldfish, popcorn, and pretzels are
not allowed for four K students. If you have any questions,
please let me know.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Thanks.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
And this woman posted it and said, Wow, day one
of school and I've already failed snack time.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I thought, what would you do.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
If you got this letter home from your kid's teacher saying, Hi,
you're a terrible parent. You packed your kid a super
unhealthy snacked and it's pretzels.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I thought pretzels were okay.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Or at least not so bad that you would find
it on there. Plus I was like, looking at this
thinking about allergies or something. But I don't know if
goldfish and pretzels and popcorn are on the allergy list
for anything really, because most schools, I think allow that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
It's interesting because one of the first comments is I
don't see nuts or anything. That's something we're always very
aware of. But I had no idea pretzels and goldfish
were a problem this. Mam Amanda said, oh, we got
a note home thats pretzels and goldfish specifically mentioned as
perfect items to send to schools, And I was thinking,
Annie writes, I don't send nuts, but if a teacher
(13:42):
wants to start getting this picky, they're welcome to wake
up half an hour earlier, drive to my house, impact
my kids lunches and snacks themselves.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Or that, or come and do an entire charcooterie board,
because that's what it sounds like you can break.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, Laura said meat is allowed. Giant turkey leg it is.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I would love this. My son would die to bring
a giant turkey leg for snack down.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
I'm not trying to shame how difficult of a job
a pretzels. I guess we get a note home on
Sofia that was like, hey, parents like potato chips, Yeah, candy.
That kind of thing can just be more disruptive to class.
It's not really very healthy. It doesn't really support the
energy needed for what we're going to be learning about.
(14:23):
But I really was absolutely stunned with this when they
said pretzels.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
The pretzels are goldfish? Goldfish? To me, I felt like
that's a kid's water at this point in life, isn't it.
I'm pretty sure goldfish is officially the fifth food group
at this point.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
No, But to be fair, have you looked on the
box of gold I don't want to look at in
our family like trying to fight the goldfish battle right
now because I bought some of that flavor blasted goodness,
and then I'm like, oh, I can't actually.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Say most of the things in this ingredient group.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
What do you think if you got a note home
from your teacher calling out your snack for your kid,
you are snack shamed, not healthy enough, not allowed? What
would you say back? Or are you just like they
take my kids? Okay, yogurt? It is six one six
four five eight one oh five seven. I posted the
full letter on our Facebook if you want to drop
(15:11):
a comment there or maybe give me your snack ideas.
I was a pretzel parent and apparently that's not okay
four five eight one oh five seven.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Switty, So salty, let's do it's selling a fine point seven.
Her soap box is all set up here in the studio.
Time for salty Schmidty.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I mean not surprising.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
I'm going to talk about the weather, you guys, but
I think so many of you, because I was talking
about this at school pakeup yesterday, are dealing with this,
the fact that it's going.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
To be in the mid eighties all week.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
But no humidity, so like we're not turning on the
eight seat no, because we've got our windows open during
the day and it's actually really lovely. We forget that
in our summer in West Michigan, where it's like if
the du point's low, we don't have humidity. It's actually
really really lovely. But then you get to midnight one
in the middle of the night, and everything is hot.
(16:04):
I don't know why it happens. The sun is gone.
It still seems breezy. But the last two nights I
have done that, like oh, kicking the sheets off, and
I'm finally like I can't do it. And then my
husband is wide awake, phone at the ready. He's like,
I knew it. I'm turning on the ac right now.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
In the nest is like, okay, we got it.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I don't know anyone else having this ridiculous battle. It's
so fine in the daytime and then for some reason,
I'm a paramenopausal woman at one am sweating like it's
one hundred and fifty degrees in my house.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
My sister or my daughter was running around yesterday going
to my wife, it's seventy seven degrees in the house. Mom,
can we please turn on the AC. I'm like, we
have show her a bill weak children? Really so salty.
Imagine there's people who already made this switch over to
the flannel sheets. How much they're struggling right now, schmide welp.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Well, the Swifties have done some deep diving, and you
know that very interesting sneak in from Taylor Swift to
Arrowhead Stadium for the Kansas City game was actually for protection.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
It looks like she was actually.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Using a bullet resistant portable shield to evade detection. Following
the very public murder of Charlie Kirk. Swifties have been
kind of pushing this theory online the past couple days.
But then when you really look into it, there does
seem to be a barrier that is used. It looks
very similar to this at retails for about six thousand dollars,
(17:38):
and with her team and the amount of security guards
alongside her, no doubt this is definitely what's happening. Curious
if she'll continue to do this. There's also been rumor
that whatever sweet she is sitting in will be outfitted
with bulletproof glass. We continue to get updates on the
suspected twenty two year old gunman who will officially be
(17:58):
charged in connection with the murder of Charlie Kirk later today,
expected in court at five pm Eastern time, but an
update over night. The FBI is now investigating whether he
had some help and there may even be an accomplice
they're looking for. We're getting reports that a seventy one
year old man actually first took responsibility for the shooting
(18:19):
in hopes of throwing them off the track of the
actual shooter. So there is a lot going on here
and a ton of charges this twenty two year old
faces in Utah for Taylor.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I guess I can't really be surprised. I mean, there's
a lot of crazies out there, and even when you're
not one of the biggest, if not the biggest, celebrity,
on the planets that come looking for you and can
cause trouble for Taylor. She's got to deal with it
all the time.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I mean, look at our documentary.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
She's reading Haymail for decades like I would absolutely have
taken every precaution. Tom Brady dusting off the cleats and
making a comeback, That's right. It was announced yesterday the
Goat joining some of the biggest names in NFL for
a flag football tournament in Saudi Arabia. The unretirement was
reported yesterday. Rob Gronkowski will be part of this, alongside
(19:07):
current superstars Saquon Barkley, Ceedee Lamb, Christian McCaffrey. The event
is being called the Fanatics Flag Football Classic. It's slated
for Saudi Arabia March twenty first of twenty twenty six.
This will be Brady's first any kind of on field
action since you retired back in twenty twenty three. Not
(19:27):
fully coming back, but we're going to see him.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Play some flag This is interesting. I guess as we
get ready to see flag football becoming Olympic sports in
Los Angeles in twenty twenty eight, maybe seeing the pros
play in flag will be more commonplace.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
By the Way.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Kyle Shanahan, Pete Carroll and Sean Payton will be coaching
the three teams in competition. Finally, Jimmy Fallon's Big Detroit
Special for the Tonight Show aired last night from the
Iconic Detroit Opera House. Keegan, Michael Key, Common Lions, Aiden
Hutchinson some of the people on that guest list, But
it was the official song Jimmy came up with.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
D tried. I'm hearing the D shout out everybody in
the dree wadree, D tried the roof off.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I'll wake up with the back tattoo of turn.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
When I say D, you say try me D D
you say?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
It was very cool.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
I also want to point out, looking through the comments section,
a bunch of people said that he was even playing
in the key of D, which is really really cool.
Got the video for you with your scoop at West
Michigan Star dot.

hole of watching those you know, red hot balls of

I'm just enjoying this nice slice of summertime that we've
got hanging out. I know, yeah, well, And speaking of
this little heatwave we've got going on, one hundred guys
April were asked what melts when it gets hot? What
do you think the top answer is? And I'm gonna
give you a massive hint. Are you okay with that?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
I'm very okay with that.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I'm going to give you this massive hint. Since we
just talked about it, it is not weather related.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Okay, Well I wasn't gonna guess.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
That it was.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Okay, I just thought. You know, West Michigan, we think
snow at all times. Snow is on our mind because
it could happen any mind. Ever, what do you think
it is? April?
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 11 (22:26):
There's so many things, but.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
I wanted it, so I'm hoping it's my first choice,
which is chocolate.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Oh, your first choice is chocolate. It definitely melts when
you stick it in your pocket and then you forget
it's there. But let's let's be real. We all sit
there and lick the wrapper until every little morsel at
that chocolate is still gone, even after it's melted. But
somehow chocolate is not on this list. April. Oh, no,
(22:54):
I know, and I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
All right, Well, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Thanks ye hi star. Who's this? One hundred guys were
asked what melts when it gets hot? And I'm gonna
give you a big hint that I just gave to
right or excuse me, to April a second ago. It's
not weather related and it's not chocolate. So those are
your Those are your hints. You can wear out right away.
(23:19):
Paul what do you think? The top answer is.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
Well, I was gonna say ice cream.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Oh that is a good one, definitely top of mind.
That melts when it gets hot, but it is not
on the list either. I'm sorry, Okay, thanks Paul, talk
next time. Ye, Hi Star, who's this? Carson. I've got
a couple of good guesses, but nobody's got it yet, buddy.
One hundred guys were asked what melts when it gets hot?
And so far, I know it's not ice cream. I
(23:45):
know it's not chocolate, and it is not weather related,
so it's not snow either, Carson. So what melts when
it gets hot?
Speaker 11 (23:53):
Candle?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Candles? Let me see here you put you lightem? Carson, right,
they get they melt candles? Is the top answer, Buddy,
There you go. Thank you? Yeah, congratulations. You know what, Carson,
you got your mom and dad gotta say thank you
because you just got them out for a date night
going to see Kathleen Madigan. Thank you. You're so welcome.
(24:15):
I mean, I figure that's at least we're some ice
cream from mom or dad. Speaking of things that melt,
it was a candle, followed by butter and cheese on
there as those list of top answers. Congratulations Carson, Mom
and dad are going to see comedian Kathleen Madigan over
at GLC Live at twenty in row, Mac and Schmitte.
And you know, maybe you're off to work right now,
(24:37):
maybe you're already on the grind and the same annoying
thing that you have to deal with day in, day
out is there waiting for you right What is the
worst piece of work equipment or office furniture that you
have to deal with on a daily basis is Schette
Because I'm bringing this up because the last week, you know,
I'm bringing it up because our chairs in our studio
(25:00):
are beyond ridiculous at this point. I actually had people
come in and go, why are you bleeding on low
side Friday, Thursday or Friday of last week? And I'm like,
what are you talking about? And I look down and
it's because I had been stabbed by staples on my arms,
on my elbow and had no idea because they're just little,
(25:21):
tiny little metal pricks going into you, and I've got
people coming in and then I turned around and realized
that I've got one on my knee too, from banging
it on one of our covered doors over here also
didn't notice this. I have now reached a point where
my workplace is drawing blood from me. On the regular schmitty,
this is out of hand here.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
It is nothing new. I think I have duct taped
six chairs in the last year and a half. Actually
emailed a picture of another one of our studios here
where we host high power, influential people in this community,
and they're coming in and the arm rust pops off,
(26:00):
or the backs like the back part of the chair,
the back ren broken.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I had one guy sit down. I will not say
his name, but he.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Is a very prominent figure of West Michigan, and the
chair literally gave out. I was like, oh, don't suit
us if you want to see what we're talking about.
I just posted to our Instagram and our Facebook how
insane these chairs are. And you just know people have
that thing in their office.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I just saw on Facebook. I put this up. Jessica
says the copy machine, and I feel like that's one
for everybody.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Well, the problem with the copy machines is not so
much that they're broken, it's that they're always needing to
be fixed. There's always a person who's coming to your
workplace who's like, yeah, they gotta fix the copy machine.
It's just acting a little wonky.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Or one of the guys in our newsroom asked me
the other day how to fax someone, and I was like,
I'll be honest, I didn't know our copy machine printer
even faxed anymore.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I can make the noises better than I think I
could actually fax a document. At this point, Mike Schwartz
is the coffee potch minty, which I agree, because you
guys over in the newsroom where you do your other show,
you guys come in earlier, you make that pot of coffee,
and when I get here, if I even think about
having a cup of coffee, I just know that there's
only a tiny little bit left that's gonna sit there
(27:12):
all morning long until mister Steve.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Good to say, give mister Steve the credit where credit
is due. He is our coffee guy. There's no one
else here that does it right. My problem is people
that empty it and then leave the burner on. Yes,
so then you just smell burnt coffee. Means so what
we're saying everybody is we work in the classiest place.
And if you thought radio was glamorous, you're one hundred
percent right. We're just getting stabbed, burned and paid very little.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Well, I would nita pick me up. We are here
to provide and feeling good right now and starting on
five point seven? What's you bring in schmidde.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
It's called the Dad Letter Project. This is so cool
and in a world where everyone is digital, sometimes an
old school letter in the snail mail makes all the difference.
Andrew Boorbrich is a lawyer in Kalamazoo by day, but
at night he reaches out to those missing that father
figure in their life, and that has spawned a new
(28:04):
group of guys a nonprofit. The entire project came up
from a TikTok video that went viral after a woman
shared countless letters of love and support her own father
had written to her over the years for Bridge telling
Wood TV.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
If I can help somebody, one at.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
A time, it makes all the difference. Sometimes people just
need a dad. He gave an example of one letter.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I'll ast my dad a little over thirteen years ago
and I miss him. I've been through a lot. Tonight
has been especially rough, and.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
That's when the Dad Letter Project steps in. The Michigan
based nonprofit actively recruiting dads as submissions and letter requests
continue to file in more and more as people learn
what this is all about, and it's something that this
Kalamazoo lawyer takes very personally, as a dad of two
himself knows.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
So, you know, things are hard for me right now
because I have health issues. I'm fighting for custody of
my three year old child. I just finished a big
project and I really want somebody to read proud of me.
I hope you got through your rough night, Love dad.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
And that's how every single letter is signed off with
two sweet words love Dad. If you want to learn more,
it's very easy to get hooked up with this awesome
Project dadletterproject dot com.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Wow, that's powerful, all right, Schvitty. It was just over
a week ago that we were all just surrounded by
those videos of the phillies. Karen, I'm sure you saw
the video Shvitty of the woman who went over after
having a ball that she thought she was entitled to
taken from her. She went over and wound up taking
it from a kid essentially, and then received the backlash
(29:46):
of the internet, right or wrong. But that was what
was going on in the minds of Phillies fans and
baseball fans. Last week, when Donna Moriy celebrated her eightieth
birthday at a Phillies game, they were taking on the
Mets and she was there with her family, and after
going to game games for years, Donna had one birthday
wish on the Big eight and zero birthday, and that
was to get a foul ball, to catch a ball
(30:08):
at the ballpark, or get one of the game balls. Well,
during the fifth ending, a nine year old that was
sitting nearby, Jamison Pennings, actually caught his first ever fly
ball right there and admired it with his dad's And
that's when things took a turn for Donna. As she
described to her local news check this out.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
He overheard my daughter talk to the ballgirl about next
foul that comes down, which he consider giving it to
me for my birthday. All of a sudden, this little
boy says through that I want to give that lady
my ball, and father says, are you sure about this?
And a little boy looked at the ball and his club
and he says yeah, And they got up from their
(30:49):
seats and came right over to me and handed me
the ball. I was just blessed to be at this
one with him. Really, I think it was meant to be.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Meant to be for sure, because not only did eighty
year old Donna get her birthday ball, but young Jamison
had some immediate karma come his way because about fifteen
minutes later, the Phillies actually brought him another ball to
hook it up with, and awesomely, Donna went ahead and
had Jamison sign her game ball so that she would
(31:19):
always remember that little guy who made her moments so stuff.
I love that feeling good coming at you A couple
times a day. I want to share amazing stories with
you and people doing incredible things out in our world.
We'll do it again for you tomorrow, six forty five
and nine to twenty. Every weekday, I'm Star Mack and
Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six am on
Star one oh five point seven
Wake up.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It gets my day going and makes me lab.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the Morning on Star one of
five point seven. Hey, well, good morning, Schmitting, Good morning,
Welcome into your Tuesday. Give me another beautiful and warm day.
I don't think we're going to actually see a cloud
till like Friday. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So nice lots of sunshine coming away heights today in
the low to mid eighties across West Michigan. Pretty beautiful.
But wake it up this morning, Schmitty. You know when
I tried to go to bed with a comfort show
last night, I tried that spin off of.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
The Office, Oh paper something.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
The paper is what it's called. And you know when
you have grown accustomed to something and it fits you
so well and so perfect, and then you go to
try on the brand new version of that thing and
it's just not the same.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
So I've heard very mixed reactions. I've heard it's exactly
like the Office and not super good.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I like it. I would just warn any office fans,
like you're going into something with an expectation of something
that's extremely familiar to you.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
It literally has someone from the office in it.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
It has asked me you know what I thought about
it because I know you're not like the biggest Office
fan ever. So I was like, it'd be like if
they redid Parks and Rec. Yeah, and it went to
a whole different place.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
But they would never do that because Parks and Rec
was perfection.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Maybe the only character they bring in is Jerry, Like
that's the only character from Parks that they move on,
because that's what they did with Oscar. But I'm working
my way into it. I wouldn't run it off yet.
I'm gonna watch the entire first season and I are
very different people.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
I'm watching the Charlie Sheen documentary. I heard it's awesome
and it's interesting. I'll tell you, if anybody had dare
in fifth grade, go ahead and watch the Charlie Sheen
documentary and you'll probably learn even more of why sometimes
you don't take the road less travel when it comes
to substances.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Drugs are bad people. That's the moral of the Charlie
Sheen story.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
I'm pretty sure movies, music, and all the gossip in
one place.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's the celebrity scoop. On Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Nick Cannon getting very handed about his unorthodox journey to fatherhood.
During an appearance on our iHeartRadio show The Breakfast Club,
the forty four year old opened up about his process
of becoming a dad of twelve currently and said that
welcoming his kids, he's now realizing was a response to
(02:19):
something he didn't realize what's going on.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So you think having all those kids was a response
to your trauma?
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Yeahred hundred now that now I'm learning that now.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
And it wasn't and it wasn't like I was acting out.
It was more of being careless, being frivolous with my
process because I could do it, because I had the money,
because I had the access to whoever, and however I
wanted to move. And you know, okay, they coming at me,
(02:51):
they asking me opposed to like doing a mature thing
and saying, hey, well it probably makes more sense to
do this.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
If asked if he had maybe on the inner work
or some therapy, he maybe would not have had twelve kids.
The star said, I'm really not sure. I've always said this.
Every child that I had was made out of love
and there were strong relationships, so it might still have happened.
But it's a really deep interview and the most he
has ever talked about how many children he has and
(03:18):
being a dad to all twelve of those kids.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Something tells me later in life he's not going to
regret it at all. Yeah, right now he's being introspective,
but I think later on he's just gonna love all
that family.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Got the interview for you at West Michigan Star dot com.
Lilma's ex prioritizing his physical and mental health after that
arrest in LA last month, caught out on the roadway naked,
he has now entered an inpatient treatment program. The Old
Town Road attorneys present represented him in court. A judge
(03:49):
has now modified the conditions of his arrest in order
for him to be treated out of state and an
undisclosed location. His bail is still set at seventy five
thousand dollars that they're holding while he is in treatment,
and he does have a court date scheduled for November eighteenth,
but fans were very happy to hear this. He's facing
three felony counts, including battery causing injury to a police officer.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
Well.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Nazex's father has been very vocal about the pressures of
fame buckling his son's mind and of course, his long
awaited dream Boy album has now been delayed.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
You know, I'm sure now he's sober and getting all
those things. What a flip out that was. I mean
to have it all be telling, you know, video like
the head as You're roaming through the street, the tune though.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Yeah, finally they're calling it the Bieber comeback.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
He is slated to headline Coachella.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yesterday, the giant announcement came out of the famed music
festival from California. It was announced Sabrina Carpenter, Carol g
and others will also be joining Bieber. This is a
very big deal for Sabrina as well. Others announced for
this year's bill Iggy Pop, David Byrne, Devo, Inner Pole,
and The Strokes. As for that surprise act, like last year,
(05:07):
we saw some Travis Scott No Doubt Reunion was part
of Coachella. The bottom of the bill says the bunker
debut of Radiohead Kid am Niesia. So this is the
Tom York fronted band that we have not seen a
ton of recently, even though they have headlined at Coachella before.
So passes go on sale Friday. If you have a
(05:29):
ton of dough in your pocket for that.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Honestly, I think that's the best Coachella line if I've
heard in years.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Sure, right, yeah's all right?
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I like and I like the Sabrina all of your
celeb scoop at West Michigan.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, you're in the right spat if you look for
a little positivity to start out the day, because that's
what we provide each morning. It's feeling good on star
Win on Fine point seven, Mack and Smitty hanging out.
And this year, as you raise a glass for the
City of Grand Rapids and seventy fifth anniversary, go ahead
and do it with their own official beer from City Built.
(06:00):
That just fits right. They have marked an official one
hundred and seventy fifth anniversary beer with the City of
Grand Rapids, a light Lagger done in collaboration, debut just
yesterday part of the year long celebration of Grand Rapids
in corporation as the city all the way back in
eighteen fifty. So this brand new beer, the can Design Flora,
(06:25):
was actually created by Kendall College of Art and Design
student Abe Jigena, who won a student design competition for this.
So the can the brewing the beer. All of it's
right here in Grand Rapids City leaders and City Built Brewing,
describing the collaboration as a tribute to Grand Rapids identity
as beer city. Edwin Calazzo, the CEO of City Built Brewing, saying,
(06:48):
we're thrilled to get the call from the City. It's
an incredible to see our two teams collaborate so seamlessly
to bring this beer to life. As we've always said,
you built this city, we brew its beer. We truly
are so pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Also, you can get that at tons of places across
West Michigan. So any really cool local spot, I'll probably
have it on t Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Frederick Meyer Garden's Performance Hall, and of course City Builds
tap room as well.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
All right, let's talk about a Michigan mom that has
gone viral on TikTok because of a very simple but
very important lesson. Evy and her mom, Tara, a West
Michigan family gearing up for kindergarten. Evy just started a
couple of weeks ago, and mom's sharing a very important point.
Speaker 9 (07:29):
What are some differences that you notice about other people?
Some people are tan, some people are tan.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And some people are black.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
Some people are black, is that something to make fun
of somebody about.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Pall no American fire paper nice.
Speaker 9 (07:46):
Making fun of people is not nice. It is never
okay to make fun of somebody for their skin color,
their height. Some people are skinny, some people are bigger.
The cool thing about being a human is that we're
all different.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
And it has resounded across the world almost four million
views with tons of parents going, this is exactly how
we should be raising our kids, and Tara admits it
comes from a place of toxicity when she grew up.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
I grew up in a very toxic and abusive home,
and so raising my kids, it has been very important
to me to be the one that breaks the cycle.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I love you, oh Tara. From one mom to another,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
We are raising kind kids and we love it. Got
the video for y at West Michigan's Star dot com.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It's the celebrities group on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Well, it was definitely a surprise to some fans. Actress
Jamie Lee Curtis breaking down in tears over last week's
murderer of Charlie Kirk, getting very emotional about his death,
sing even though she disagreed with most of what he said,
the part about his faith and being gunned down in
such an abortant way was something that everyone should be
(09:03):
very concerned about. This is on WTF with Mark Marin
in the latest episode from that pod.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever
heard him say, but I believe he was a man
of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died,
that he felt connected to his faith. Even though I
find what his ideas were abhorrent to me, I still
believe he's a father and a husband and a man
(09:28):
of faith, and I hope whatever connection to God means
that he felt it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Very moving stuff. As an update, that suspected twenty two
year old shooter will have his first court appearance today
multiple charges. Not until later though five pm Eastern time,
we will see him in front of a judge. Rava
McIntyre shedding light on how her step grandkids are doing
in the aftermath of their father, Brandon Blackstock's death. They're
(10:00):
still very much in the thick of grief, but there
is a silver lining. She gave the update to Entertainment tonight.
Well we missime, We we mission every minute.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
The kids are doing well.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
They're all bonding together and hanging out with each other
and taking it one day at time.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
We know, gotch got this.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So that was very cute.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Obviously, Brandon had kids from a previous relationship, and it
sounds like all of them are really bonding and banding
together and kind of taking on this grief together, which
Reba says has been a really moving part of this loss.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, that's great that the kids are finding some solace
together like that. And how about Riba Riba getting engaged again?
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Like, I had no idea who Rex Lynn is? You
guys CSI Miami and the guy in charge of the
police department is about to be RIBA's new hobby. They've
been dating for five years and announced their engagement yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I'm with you, I had no idea that guy existed.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Finally, I am so excited about this announcement. Guess who
is joining NBC's coverage for this Sear's Winter Olympics. None
other than the legendary Stanley Tucci, the devilwares Prada actor,
announcing on Instagram yesterday be rolling.
Speaker 11 (11:09):
Yeah great, you knowwhere else We're gonna be rolling very soon?
Well in Italy at the Milan Courtina Olympics right here
on NBC. So please join me for prime time in Milan.
That'll be great food, great drink, and of course incredible competition.
I'm looking forward to it. I hope you are too.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Chairs Oh he sipp in a dirty martini. Is only
Stanley can Winter Olympic coverage officially kicks off Friday.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
February six.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Wait tell me we're gonna get Stanley Tucci and Snoop
Dogg doing the Olympics quite possibly.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I mean he's got a show, the Cookbook, why not
add Snoop in there? All of your celeb Scoop at
West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Good morning to you. It's Mac and Schmidty and you
just brought up school snacks. And if there's one thing
that will upset me to shame Schmidti, it's snacks. Can
shame a good snack?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Well, you are and they are.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
This is wild.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I've actually first saw this on my TikTok because this
mom was so stunned by the note she got from
her teacher about her kid's snack. And I'm not sure
where this mom is at, but the note reads, your
child's snack of pretzels written in a blank line. So
this is something that goes out to any kid that
(12:26):
gets a bad snack right, did not meet our four
K classroom snack policy. Please make sure to send only fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese,
or yogurt for their snack. Goldfish, popcorn, and pretzels are
not allowed for four K students. If you have any questions,
please let me know.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Thanks.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
And this woman posted it and said, Wow, day one
of school and I've already failed snack time.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I thought, what would you do.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
If you got this letter home from your kid's teacher saying, Hi,
you're a terrible parent. You packed your kid a super
unhealthy snacked and it's pretzels.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I thought pretzels were okay.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Or at least not so bad that you would find
it on there. Plus I was like, looking at this
thinking about allergies or something. But I don't know if
goldfish and pretzels and popcorn are on the allergy list
for anything really, because most schools, I think allow that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
It's interesting because one of the first comments is I
don't see nuts or anything. That's something we're always very
aware of. But I had no idea pretzels and goldfish
were a problem this. Mam Amanda said, oh, we got
a note home thats pretzels and goldfish specifically mentioned as
perfect items to send to schools, And I was thinking,
Annie writes, I don't send nuts, but if a teacher
(13:42):
wants to start getting this picky, they're welcome to wake
up half an hour earlier, drive to my house, impact
my kids lunches and snacks themselves.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Or that, or come and do an entire charcooterie board,
because that's what it sounds like you can break.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, Laura said meat is allowed. Giant turkey leg it is.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I would love this. My son would die to bring
a giant turkey leg for snack down.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
I'm not trying to shame how difficult of a job
a pretzels. I guess we get a note home on
Sofia that was like, hey, parents like potato chips, Yeah, candy.
That kind of thing can just be more disruptive to class.
It's not really very healthy. It doesn't really support the
energy needed for what we're going to be learning about.
(14:23):
But I really was absolutely stunned with this when they
said pretzels.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
The pretzels are goldfish? Goldfish? To me, I felt like
that's a kid's water at this point in life, isn't it.
I'm pretty sure goldfish is officially the fifth food group
at this point.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
No, But to be fair, have you looked on the
box of gold I don't want to look at in
our family like trying to fight the goldfish battle right
now because I bought some of that flavor blasted goodness,
and then I'm like, oh, I can't actually.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Say most of the things in this ingredient group.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
What do you think if you got a note home
from your teacher calling out your snack for your kid,
you are snack shamed, not healthy enough, not allowed? What
would you say back? Or are you just like they
take my kids? Okay, yogurt? It is six one six
four five eight one oh five seven. I posted the
full letter on our Facebook if you want to drop
(15:11):
a comment there or maybe give me your snack ideas.
I was a pretzel parent and apparently that's not okay
four five eight one oh five seven.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Switty, So salty, let's do it's selling a fine point seven.
Her soap box is all set up here in the studio.
Time for salty Schmidty.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I mean not surprising.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
I'm going to talk about the weather, you guys, but
I think so many of you, because I was talking
about this at school pakeup yesterday, are dealing with this,
the fact that it's going.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
To be in the mid eighties all week.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
But no humidity, so like we're not turning on the
eight seat no, because we've got our windows open during
the day and it's actually really lovely. We forget that
in our summer in West Michigan, where it's like if
the du point's low, we don't have humidity. It's actually
really really lovely. But then you get to midnight one
in the middle of the night, and everything is hot.
(16:04):
I don't know why it happens. The sun is gone.
It still seems breezy. But the last two nights I
have done that, like oh, kicking the sheets off, and
I'm finally like I can't do it. And then my
husband is wide awake, phone at the ready. He's like,
I knew it. I'm turning on the ac right now.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
In the nest is like, okay, we got it.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I don't know anyone else having this ridiculous battle. It's
so fine in the daytime and then for some reason,
I'm a paramenopausal woman at one am sweating like it's
one hundred and fifty degrees in my house.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
My sister or my daughter was running around yesterday going
to my wife, it's seventy seven degrees in the house. Mom,
can we please turn on the AC. I'm like, we
have show her a bill weak children? Really so salty.
Imagine there's people who already made this switch over to
the flannel sheets. How much they're struggling right now, schmide welp.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Well, the Swifties have done some deep diving, and you
know that very interesting sneak in from Taylor Swift to
Arrowhead Stadium for the Kansas City game was actually for protection.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
It looks like she was actually.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Using a bullet resistant portable shield to evade detection. Following
the very public murder of Charlie Kirk. Swifties have been
kind of pushing this theory online the past couple days.
But then when you really look into it, there does
seem to be a barrier that is used. It looks
very similar to this at retails for about six thousand dollars,
(17:38):
and with her team and the amount of security guards
alongside her, no doubt this is definitely what's happening. Curious
if she'll continue to do this. There's also been rumor
that whatever sweet she is sitting in will be outfitted
with bulletproof glass. We continue to get updates on the
suspected twenty two year old gunman who will officially be
(17:58):
charged in connection with the murder of Charlie Kirk later today,
expected in court at five pm Eastern time, but an
update over night. The FBI is now investigating whether he
had some help and there may even be an accomplice
they're looking for. We're getting reports that a seventy one
year old man actually first took responsibility for the shooting
(18:19):
in hopes of throwing them off the track of the
actual shooter. So there is a lot going on here
and a ton of charges this twenty two year old
faces in Utah for Taylor.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I guess I can't really be surprised. I mean, there's
a lot of crazies out there, and even when you're
not one of the biggest, if not the biggest, celebrity,
on the planets that come looking for you and can
cause trouble for Taylor. She's got to deal with it
all the time.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I mean, look at our documentary.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
She's reading Haymail for decades like I would absolutely have
taken every precaution. Tom Brady dusting off the cleats and
making a comeback, That's right. It was announced yesterday the
Goat joining some of the biggest names in NFL for
a flag football tournament in Saudi Arabia. The unretirement was
reported yesterday. Rob Gronkowski will be part of this, alongside
(19:07):
current superstars Saquon Barkley, Ceedee Lamb, Christian McCaffrey. The event
is being called the Fanatics Flag Football Classic. It's slated
for Saudi Arabia March twenty first of twenty twenty six.
This will be Brady's first any kind of on field
action since you retired back in twenty twenty three. Not
(19:27):
fully coming back, but we're going to see him.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Play some flag This is interesting. I guess as we
get ready to see flag football becoming Olympic sports in
Los Angeles in twenty twenty eight, maybe seeing the pros
play in flag will be more commonplace.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
By the Way.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Kyle Shanahan, Pete Carroll and Sean Payton will be coaching
the three teams in competition. Finally, Jimmy Fallon's Big Detroit
Special for the Tonight Show aired last night from the
Iconic Detroit Opera House. Keegan, Michael Key, Common Lions, Aiden
Hutchinson some of the people on that guest list, But
it was the official song Jimmy came up with.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
D tried. I'm hearing the D shout out everybody in
the dree wadree, D tried the roof off.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I'll wake up with the back tattoo of turn.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
When I say D, you say try me D D
you say?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
It was very cool.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
I also want to point out, looking through the comments section,
a bunch of people said that he was even playing
in the key of D, which is really really cool.

Michigan Star dot.

Church humor is the best. Get Ready, one hundred men served?
What melts when it gets hot?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Everything right eventually. I mean, I've gone down the rabbit
hole of watching those you know, red hot balls of
lead just melt their way through.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
You gotta watch Modern Marbles.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
That's the good one, that old school show with all
the really cool MELTI Science six one six, four, five eight,

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Who's this April, April? Where are you calling from today?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Radbod?
Speaker 6 (21:39):
How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Fantastic April yourself?
Speaker 7 (21:41):
I'm doing well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I'm just enjoying this nice slice of summertime that we've
got hanging out. I know, yeah, well, And speaking of
this little heatwave we've got going on, one hundred guys
April were asked what melts when it gets hot? What
do you think the top answer is? And I'm gonna
give you a massive hint. Are you okay with that?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
I'm very okay with that.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I'm going to give you this massive hint. Since we
just talked about it, it is not weather related.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Okay, Well I wasn't gonna guess.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
That it was.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Okay, I just thought. You know, West Michigan, we think
snow at all times. Snow is on our mind because
it could happen any mind. Ever, what do you think
it is? April?
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 11 (22:26):
There's so many things, but.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
I wanted it, so I'm hoping it's my first choice,
which is chocolate.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Oh, your first choice is chocolate. It definitely melts when
you stick it in your pocket and then you forget
it's there. But let's let's be real. We all sit
there and lick the wrapper until every little morsel at
that chocolate is still gone, even after it's melted. But
somehow chocolate is not on this list. April. Oh, no,
(22:54):
I know, and I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
All right, Well, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Thanks ye hi star. Who's this? One hundred guys were
asked what melts when it gets hot? And I'm gonna
give you a big hint that I just gave to
right or excuse me, to April a second ago. It's
not weather related and it's not chocolate. So those are
your Those are your hints. You can wear out right away.
(23:19):
Paul what do you think? The top answer is.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
Well, I was gonna say ice cream.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Oh that is a good one, definitely top of mind.
That melts when it gets hot, but it is not
on the list either. I'm sorry, Okay, thanks Paul, talk
next time. Ye, Hi Star, who's this? Carson. I've got
a couple of good guesses, but nobody's got it yet, buddy.
One hundred guys were asked what melts when it gets hot?
And so far, I know it's not ice cream. I
(23:45):
know it's not chocolate, and it is not weather related,
so it's not snow either, Carson. So what melts when
it gets hot?
Speaker 11 (23:53):
Candle?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Candles? Let me see here you put you lightem? Carson, right,
they get they melt candles? Is the top answer, Buddy,
There you go. Thank you? Yeah, congratulations. You know what, Carson,
you got your mom and dad gotta say thank you
because you just got them out for a date night
going to see Kathleen Madigan. Thank you. You're so welcome.
(24:15):
I mean, I figure that's at least we're some ice
cream from mom or dad. Speaking of things that melt,
it was a candle, followed by butter and cheese on
there as those list of top answers. Congratulations Carson, Mom
and dad are going to see comedian Kathleen Madigan over
at GLC Live at twenty in row, Mac and Schmitte.
And you know, maybe you're off to work right now,
(24:37):
maybe you're already on the grind and the same annoying
thing that you have to deal with day in, day
out is there waiting for you right What is the
worst piece of work equipment or office furniture that you
have to deal with on a daily basis is Schette
Because I'm bringing this up because the last week, you know,
I'm bringing it up because our chairs in our studio
(25:00):
are beyond ridiculous at this point. I actually had people
come in and go, why are you bleeding on low
side Friday, Thursday or Friday of last week? And I'm like,
what are you talking about? And I look down and
it's because I had been stabbed by staples on my arms,
on my elbow and had no idea because they're just little,
(25:21):
tiny little metal pricks going into you, and I've got
people coming in and then I turned around and realized
that I've got one on my knee too, from banging
it on one of our covered doors over here also
didn't notice this. I have now reached a point where
my workplace is drawing blood from me. On the regular schmitty,
this is out of hand here.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
It is nothing new. I think I have duct taped
six chairs in the last year and a half. Actually
emailed a picture of another one of our studios here
where we host high power, influential people in this community,
and they're coming in and the arm rust pops off,
(26:00):
or the backs like the back part of the chair,
the back ren broken.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I had one guy sit down. I will not say
his name, but he.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Is a very prominent figure of West Michigan, and the
chair literally gave out. I was like, oh, don't suit
us if you want to see what we're talking about.
I just posted to our Instagram and our Facebook how
insane these chairs are. And you just know people have
that thing in their office.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I just saw on Facebook. I put this up. Jessica
says the copy machine, and I feel like that's one
for everybody.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Well, the problem with the copy machines is not so
much that they're broken, it's that they're always needing to
be fixed. There's always a person who's coming to your
workplace who's like, yeah, they gotta fix the copy machine.
It's just acting a little wonky.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Or one of the guys in our newsroom asked me
the other day how to fax someone, and I was like,
I'll be honest, I didn't know our copy machine printer
even faxed anymore.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I can make the noises better than I think I
could actually fax a document. At this point, Mike Schwartz
is the coffee potch minty, which I agree, because you
guys over in the newsroom where you do your other show,
you guys come in earlier, you make that pot of coffee,
and when I get here, if I even think about
having a cup of coffee, I just know that there's
only a tiny little bit left that's gonna sit there
(27:12):
all morning long until mister Steve.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Good to say, give mister Steve the credit where credit
is due. He is our coffee guy. There's no one
else here that does it right. My problem is people
that empty it and then leave the burner on. Yes,
so then you just smell burnt coffee. Means so what
we're saying everybody is we work in the classiest place.
And if you thought radio was glamorous, you're one hundred
percent right. We're just getting stabbed, burned and paid very little.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Well, I would nita pick me up. We are here
to provide and feeling good right now and starting on
five point seven? What's you bring in schmidde.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
It's called the Dad Letter Project. This is so cool
and in a world where everyone is digital, sometimes an
old school letter in the snail mail makes all the difference.
Andrew Boorbrich is a lawyer in Kalamazoo by day, but
at night he reaches out to those missing that father
figure in their life, and that has spawned a new
(28:04):
group of guys a nonprofit. The entire project came up
from a TikTok video that went viral after a woman
shared countless letters of love and support her own father
had written to her over the years for Bridge telling
Wood TV.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
If I can help somebody, one at.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
A time, it makes all the difference. Sometimes people just
need a dad. He gave an example of one letter.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I'll ast my dad a little over thirteen years ago
and I miss him. I've been through a lot. Tonight
has been especially rough, and.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
That's when the Dad Letter Project steps in. The Michigan
based nonprofit actively recruiting dads as submissions and letter requests
continue to file in more and more as people learn
what this is all about, and it's something that this
Kalamazoo lawyer takes very personally, as a dad of two
himself knows.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
So, you know, things are hard for me right now
because I have health issues. I'm fighting for custody of
my three year old child. I just finished a big
project and I really want somebody to read proud of me.
I hope you got through your rough night, Love dad.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
And that's how every single letter is signed off with
two sweet words love Dad. If you want to learn more,
it's very easy to get hooked up with this awesome
Project dadletterproject dot com.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Wow, that's powerful, all right, Schvitty. It was just over
a week ago that we were all just surrounded by
those videos of the phillies. Karen, I'm sure you saw
the video Shvitty of the woman who went over after
having a ball that she thought she was entitled to
taken from her. She went over and wound up taking
it from a kid essentially, and then received the backlash
(29:46):
of the internet, right or wrong. But that was what
was going on in the minds of Phillies fans and
baseball fans. Last week, when Donna Moriy celebrated her eightieth
birthday at a Phillies game, they were taking on the
Mets and she was there with her family, and after
going to game games for years, Donna had one birthday
wish on the Big eight and zero birthday, and that
was to get a foul ball, to catch a ball
(30:08):
at the ballpark, or get one of the game balls. Well,
during the fifth ending, a nine year old that was
sitting nearby, Jamison Pennings, actually caught his first ever fly
ball right there and admired it with his dad's And
that's when things took a turn for Donna. As she
described to her local news check this out.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
He overheard my daughter talk to the ballgirl about next
foul that comes down, which he consider giving it to
me for my birthday. All of a sudden, this little
boy says through that I want to give that lady
my ball, and father says, are you sure about this?
And a little boy looked at the ball and his club
and he says yeah, And they got up from their
(30:49):
seats and came right over to me and handed me
the ball. I was just blessed to be at this
one with him. Really, I think it was meant to be.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Meant to be for sure, because not only did eighty
year old Donna get her birthday ball, but young Jamison
had some immediate karma come his way because about fifteen
minutes later, the Phillies actually brought him another ball to
hook it up with, and awesomely, Donna went ahead and
had Jamison sign her game ball so that she would
(31:19):
always remember that little guy who made her moments so stuff.
I love that feeling good coming at you A couple
times a day. I want to share amazing stories with
you and people doing incredible things out in our world.
We'll do it again for you tomorrow, six forty five
and nine to twenty. Every weekday, I'm Star Mack and
Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six am on
Star one oh five point seven
