Speaker 2 (00:35):
Finally some rain this week, and and boy, I know
so many areas across West Michigan really really needed as

since twenty twelve at one point in time. And it
looks like, well, we'll see more rain this week. Today

the mid seventies this week we will have a chance
of rain basically every day right up through Thursdays.

my life come up to me. It was just so
staying cool. It was an incredible start to Art Prize.
And of course you're good, bring an umbrella. We've got
two weeks of just seeing the most amazing installations downtown.
It's really cool.

Did you get a chance to walk around and go
check out a lot of it too?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Not really.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I pretty much stay it on the Pearl Street Bridge.
There was enough there, Great Lakes Brass. If you guys

Parade was pretty phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Well, Kanye West's tumultuous last few years are now finally
on display. This third person documentary in Whose Name hit
theaters over the weekend, giving viewers a glimpse into just
how volcanic things have been, especially with family. One Seeming
talked very much about an explosive argument with his now
(02:17):
ex mother in law, Chris Jenner.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
This is pretty hard to listen to.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I'm hard to be dead.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
This is the a medication.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
No one from the family has said any responsibility from.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
My hospital hysics.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
But if you want to go online, that's fifty percent
of what.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
People say, at least or maybe.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
In my line. It doesn't matter my line. I mean
normally you just.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
Finished the second.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It matters to us and you.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It doesn't matter what the internet says.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It matters what we think.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Yay.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So what do you think? Did you have an effect
on my mentors?
Speaker 1 (02:57):

Speaker 3 (03:14):
There's also a very intense scene backstage at SNL. After
that really wild moment, he walked out at the end
credit scene wearing the Make America Great Again hat. Turns
out Weekend Update co host Michael Jay actually confronted him backstage,
said he thought yea was foul for throwing them under
the bus in the last minute, and expressed serious disappointment,
(03:37):
saying he saw Kanye as a superhero for the black community.
Security had to step in. This thing is as wild
as it was promised to be. But remember Kanye greenlit
this entire thing and told the director show them all
of it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I mean that is pretty incredible just because we watched
it all unfold from the outside right. You saw the
after effects, the comments that would come out of a
different family, the insane acts that Kanye would do.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I think, what's crazy here? We never saw this on
keeping Up. This is stuff we have not seen in
reality television whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
So that is still in theaters.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Tom Holland, the actor, rushed to a hospital after a
stunt gone wrong on the Spider Man set. This went
down Friday. The British actor allegedly cracked his head after
suffering a fall on set of Spider Man. Brand New
Day filming on the more than one hundred and fifty
million dollar Marvel movie has been suspended indefinitely. He was
(04:35):
rushed to a hospital and treated for a concussion. Tom's dad, Dominic,
attended a charity dinner in May Fairy yesterday, confirming his
son would be away from filming for a while now.
Tom ended up showing up to that event. He posed
for photos with his partner Zendea, before having to leave
suddenly because he was not doing well. Marvel's confirmed filming
(04:57):
is on hold for at least several weeks while he
recovers from this. But it sounds really really scary.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, I mean when you fall and hit your head,
that is the scary stuff where you just don't know
how bad it can be. Show him all right.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Finally, Carni b is breaking the Guinness World Record. Of course,
her massive am I the Drama album has been getting
rave reviews, and her team decided to do something a
little interesting, partnering up with Walmart. They actually dropped the
albums via drone to a bunch of fans across the

Fort Worth, Dallas area, so many in fact, she set
a Guinness World record.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I can't even believe this.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
My fan has been getting my album from drones.

Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Senior execs at Guinness say that the most deliveries by
UAV drones in under an hour. She dropped one hundred
and seventy six albums in less than sixty minutes, so
not a bad marketing floy I.

So draker coffee and enjoy these two stories. It's feeling
good right now on Starleino Fine points seven. And I
gotta tell you about an incredible baseball player from right
here in Michigan who's about to be drafted. It looks
like and her name is Bellaville Reel. Yes, nineteen year
(06:27):
old Bellaville Reel from Newport, Michigan is among the first
women eligible for the upcoming Women's Professional Baseball League Draft. Yes,
that's right, they're getting the league of their own, debuting
next year, the first league of its kind in over
seventy years, and out of the more than six hundred
women who tried out from around the world, Bella is
(06:50):
the only one from the state of Michigan who made
the cut and will be a part of the draft
next month. She's been playing baseball since she was four
years old, never switching over to softball despite pressure for mothers.
Her dad, Michael Villareal, introduced her to the sport and
they both sat down with WXYZ over on the east side, saying,
you know, softball just wasn't for them.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
I've always been asked like when are you going to
transfer to softball? Are you ever going to play softball?
And I've always said no, like I don't want to
do that. I don't want to hold that yellow ball.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
From day one, that's what we do around the house,
played around the yard and saw we know we don't
know softball, they don't know softball, but man, does she
know baseball? No girls teams growing up, so she played
alongside the boys until she was sixteen, joining the league
called Baseball for All, a national organization that was founded
by Justin Siegel, who is also a female baseball player
(07:41):
and is the one who is actually launching this brand
new league for Villareal, though the draft pool, making that
draft pool is not just for her, It's for other
people out there that have always dreamed of playing a
sport in their passion.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Not only do I do it for me and my family,
I do it for the little girls in the older
women that like have the dream to do this and
had the dream to do it. It feels good to
be able to be the one to like be their shoe.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Sometimes making history pretty cool?
Speaker 8 (08:11):
All right?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You never have to wonder what the latest in Detroit
sports looks like, because Don Miles has you covered. The
eighty one year old has a home made scoreboard in
his front yard, all made himself, updated every single Lions
and Tigers game of the season. Still does it old school.
(08:32):
This was last week after the Lions beat the Bears.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Makes a little better time eighty five on the same day,
we're gonna take down this sad face. Now we're gonna
put up the one for today's victory.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
And the man brought him home a victory. Give me
a moment here, all right, all you fans, doesn't that
look better? Tigers Lions all the way?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I think we all wish we lived by a It's
so cute. I'm gonna put it on our Facebook at
West Michigan Star.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Well, it was an absolutely epic weekend in Vegas for
our iHeartRadio Music Festival twenty twenty five. Huge names, everyone
from Brian Adams, who I think absolutely killed it, to
Maroon five. We saw Mariah Carey and she was personally
one of my highlights because I was a big ODB
(09:32):
fan in the late nineties and to hair her sample
fantasy with him behind it sounded so cool.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Ye it was oh good.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And you know what I didn't see like a ton
of dancing, over the top performance. It was just the
Queen's voice. And I think everyone was like, you just
can't top Mariah Carey.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
She was so good.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
There's always insane collaborations at the Iheartrate of Music Festival.
I did not have ODB on my list of possibilities, and.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
The guy who did him was so spot on it
was amazing. There could be another little problem for ABC
following the pause of Jimmy Kimmel Live after his comments
about Charlie Kirk. They happened to be in a very
serious negotiation with the NFL. So Michael McCarthy is from
(10:39):
Frontoffice Sports dot Com and Citing unnamed sources, he writes, Disney,
obviously apparent company of ABC, may have to choose between
Kimmel and the NFL. So last month, ESPN, which is
also ABC and Disney owned, joined at the NFL to
announce a deal that, if finalized, would give ESPN control
of assets, including the NFL network, while then giving ten
(11:02):
percent of ESPN's equity to the league. So the big
deal here that regulatory approval is required. Both sides were
pretty confident that would happen until now. They obviously want
to curry favor, especially with the FCC. While the deal
was never going to be easy to manage. According to
(11:23):
these unnamed sources, a ton of issues have come up
now and it looks like Disney is going to be
either do we bring Kimmel back and risk the NFL partnership,
or do we guarantee a seat at the sports table
because this is obviously something they want to bring to
their streaming as well.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I mean, it's pretty messed up because at the end
of the day, I think you and I both probably
feel that this comes down to the almighty dollar.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, stutely, Yeah, we'll see how that goes. They are
still deep in talks right now. Finally, here is something
that's going to make you feel really old. I saw
this video trending and it was too good not to
talk about Lil Wayne and Nellie trying to figure out
Instagram Live. Wait until you here, And I don't believe
anything has been smoked or taken yet.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
They just aren't super techy.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Can other people see why?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I see stuff like stuff coming at the bottom.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
That's people saying stuff to me.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Yeah, I think yeah, I think we both are here, Yeah,
we both are here.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
They talking to us.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
No, why is everything's sparkling on you?
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Like?
Speaker 8 (12:23):
Yo?
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Why is it?
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Hold on?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
No, that ain't it?
Speaker 8 (12:26):
Oh hold on, I got it a fit.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Oh there we go fix.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I gotta tell you, guys, if you would like to
feel your youngest, go ahead and watch the entire time
as they attempt to figure out Instagram Live.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
It is brilliant. Got enough with your scoop at West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Start hum, Welcome into Monday. It's Mick and SCHMITTI and
you're not thinking about a Monday, Smitde, you're thinking about
a holiday.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, we are in it, man.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I think I talked about this a bit last week
my kids have been begging me for the last week
and a half, two weeks to get our Halloween decorations up. Yeah,
I would say fifty percent of our neighborhood has theirs
up like huge. I mean the seventeen foot skeletons. Our
neighborhood is very into Halloween.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
You make me feel so lame. I'm gonna call out
all my neighbors right now because we've got those scary
stuff up.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
By all, our neighborhood is next level. It's like the
coolest place to live.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
So it was one of those days yesterday, kind of cloudy,
and I said, this will be perfect. We have no sports,
we have no major commitments. We will get all of
the bins out and started to put up a bunch
of our stuff. But it was last night that got
me because I've I realized how obsessed my kids really
are with Halloween, and my daughter especially because I walked
(13:39):
in to put her to bed and I nearly had
a heart attack because she had taken our skeleton for
the porch that sits on our chair and she put
it in her bed and we're talking, I mean, this
thing is like a six foot skeleton in her bed.
She took all the spiders and put them around her room.
(14:00):
She had the Jack Skelington head on her dresser that
she was going to use as a night light. And
then to cap it all off, she had taken the
really scary skeleton sign and just put it next to
her lamp.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
And she was going to sleep like that.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
And this girl finds the most comfort in the scariest stuff.
And I was like, baby, you cannot have all this
stuff in here. I was like, first of all, Bob,
of course, is we named our skeleton now? And that's everything.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I'm like, he's supposed to be outside in the porch.
We're going this week to get his friend from the stores.
We have both of them.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
And she goes came again on one for my bed
and I was like, I just don't think I want
you sleeping with a skeleton in your bed.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Somehow that feels like trauma later in life it.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Might be, but man, do I love it. I love
the idea that your daughter is so in the Halloween
that she wants a skeleton in bed. It's like her
new study skeleton. Like, Hey, I'm afraid of the dark.
Would you mind lighting up that skeleton space for me?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
It's so and like my husband and I are just
looking at each other and he just kind of does
the I don't know, Oh, this is what we've birthed.
She outdoors that I guess. Yeah, an.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Completely around Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I thought it was interesting because Spirit Halloween just came
out over the weekend with the biggest Halloween costumes of
twenty twenty five and not surprising. I guarantee, if she
knows this is a costume, she's going to ask for it.
The K Pop Demon Hunters.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
It's everywhere. My daughter already said something to you.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
You're going to see Roomy, Mira, Zoe, all of those
number one selling costume for twenty twenty five. They said,
Wicked for Good. You're going to see a ton of
Alpha Bus, You're going to see a ton of Glinda's.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
They said.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Marvel's superheroes are still big because of Thunderbolts. So they
said Invisible Woman. I'm not sure how you do that
as a costume. I'm going to go as Invisible Woman
and stay home like that's now my new idea. Uh,
squid Game is still big.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, a month apart from each other.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
He said that was in the top five, and then
rounding it out and it actually looks kind of cool
the ghost face from Scream, but it's all blinked out
in pink diamonds.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Interesting. My son had the one where like you squeezed
the handheld thing and the blood pumps. It was the
most terrifying mask ever.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I was like, I don't know, my daughter would love
to sleep with that is a stuffy too. So if
you've got a weird kid like mine six one six
four five eight one five seven, something really crazy your
kids do for some kind of holiday, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I will say, since your daughter is becoming more and
more like Wednesday Adams. Wasn't Bob the name of her
pet spiders too? Everybody's Bob now everybody's.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
She had a pet spider for roommate for two.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Weeks, right, and then now it's the skeleton that lies
in bed with her as she goes to sleep each
night next.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
To Jack Skellington.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Something to come up to, little bony, little firm, but
you know it's there.

the incredible experience. She was ninety four years old but

two million dollars a day at the Sphere.

from today? In rapid? All right, Nora, let's see if
we can get you out to go see Bush. It's sorry, eagle, Yeah,
let me see here, Gotta tell me, Nora. One hundred
women were asked to name something besides books you're gonna
find in a library. A computer, A computer. I was
(23:31):
thinking the right answer would be librarians, because it's pretty
difficult to walk into a library and not have a
librarian in there. But it's twenty twenty five, and really
this has been true for a couple decades. Computers is
the top answerday. That's right. Nobody wants to use the
cards with the Dewey decimal system anymore. We just want
to look it up on the computers.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Right, I guess, I know, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
It's a lost art, that Dewey decimal system. Congratulations, you're
gonna go see Bush this Zember twentieth. It's soaring eagle. Congrats,
thank you, you are so welcome. Going to be a
great show over there for sure. By the way, I
was computers, followed by librarian, librarians, the magazines and newspapers
rounding out those top answers. Bagod morning to you, starting
a five point seven, it's mack in schmitty, And let's
(24:16):
talk about skipping school, Smitty, when it was allowed, when
your parents actually were on board with you skipping school.
And I know both you and I are the children
of educators, and so in my house.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Never I was never allowed to. In fact, my mom
was the teacher that said, hey, it's bring your daughter
to school day and you or bring your daughter workday.
You get to do that every day, every single day.
Never got Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I don't think. Uh maybe if it happened once, I
just don't remember it. But I don't think my parents
ever let me skip school for a cool reason. And
I bring this up because this weekend it my kids'
schools forest Hill Central, it was their homecoming, Schmitty. But
last week and I talked talk to you about this,
just illness ripped through these schools. My wife wound up
(25:08):
getting it from my daughter who was home for three
days last week. We heard there were over a hundred
kids out sick on Wednesday of last week from just
her school, which is just seventh and eighth graders. Insane
to think about, but it was going through the high school,
it was going through elementary, and so with homecoming on Saturday,
(25:28):
the big dance was on Saturday, Schmiddy. We know multiple
parents that kept their kids, their high school kids out
of school on Friday so they'd be healthy for the dance,
so that they would be able to go to the
dance on Saturday. And honestly, it blew my mind because
that was the so opposite of anything my parents would
(25:50):
have ever done that. I'm like, oh, yeah, wash your
hands every five seconds and you can go to the dance.
Otherwise you're going to school today. I have never heard
of parents keeping healthy kids out of school because they
were too worried that there might be some sick kids there.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I mean, we had this conversation about a year ago
where I talked about really being a proponent of mental
health days for your kids. I think they should be
allowed like one a quarter. You know, when they're getting
up and you just know it's not going to be
a great day and they need to rest. The amount
of parents that came to me in the comments going,
you're so right, that's brilliant. You're right they can miss
school that sometimes it calls for those kinds of things.
(26:29):
And I don't know, the friday before homecoming, what are
they doing.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I mean, well, you're going to school, it's another school day.
You could have said that. What would your mother have
said if this situation we're in in her well.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, she wouldn't have let me.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
But I think I'm going to do it differently, like
I actually, you know, asked me when I was a kid,
I would have been like, please, but I get it.
Stay specially if you've got a senior, this could be
their last homecoming. Nobody wants neurovirus when they've gone dress shopping.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
That's not the time you wanted to kick in. Hey,
I know we're waiting in line for bitchers, but I
gotta go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
My so wild but I think I'm kind of on
board with it. If it's a Friday and I'm I
mean more so, I want to ask the teachers.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That's really are you excited to keep going in?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
It's a bold choice. Congrats the kids. Hope you had
a blasted homecoming and your extra day off of school.
We got this going on Facebook, though, you can weigh in.
That's West Michigan Star. All right, let's get this week
moving in the right direction. Challby feeling good on start
one on five point seven? What's going on? Smide?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Well, I saw this and I was so touched. It
is such a brilliant idea. Lydia Betts is a music
therapist at Helen Deboss Children's Hospital. No doubt you've heard
us talk with her in the past for our radiothon,
but she has written a very special song for Childhood
Cancer Awareness Month that is coming up. It is a
(27:47):
very important thing for so many of our patients and
kids fighting this awful disease. Take a listen to just
a bit of it. So are you ready for the
(28:10):
coolest part? Those heartbeats in the background are recordings of
the pediatric hematology and oncology team. Really incredible. I have
it up on our Insta stories. It is worth listening
to the entire thing. Lydia, what a touching, touching moment.
You are just what of those angels we talk about.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Big time and cannot wait to talk to her again.
I want to talk to her about that as we
get closer in radio thought. I'll be back this December.
All right, Bennie, this is cool. Of course, Lions fans,
we got Monday night football to look forward to tonight.
And maybe maybe before you watch the game, or perhaps
when you get some time on your hands and you
feel like really embracing yourselves in some of the Lions
(28:50):
fan hood, Well, don't you go get lost to this
corn maze because the Long family orchard and farm and
commerce township over on the East Side over the weekend
unveiled a brand new corn maze hontering Destroit Lions wide receiver.
I'm on Ross Saint Brown, and of course you know
what design they did for him, the viral headstand touchdown
celebration for that game back in twenty twenty three against
(29:12):
the Green Bay Packers. And what made this all come
to life, Well, actually, bro brothers, Bobby and Will Long
came up with the idea. After they were there in
Green Bay for that incredible moment that they got to see,
they knew they wanted to do something special.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
I was at the game actually in Green Bay, and
so I got to see that firsthand, and I saw
the whole thing go viral. We caught it in early July,
and so early July we've been keeping our mouths shut
and keeping the secret, and so we've just been watching
it grow into a giant. A Monrock cornts, Oh, it's
just amazing. We're just creating family memories and it's just
I always say, there's no better place to be. It's
(29:48):
like Disneyland and Commerce. You know, it's just awesome.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
So you've seen it in cake form, Now go see
it in maze form. The I'm on Round Headstand Touchdown
celebration again at Long Family Orchard and Farm in Commerce,
open Saturdays and Sundays all day long. If you want
to go out there and do I'll.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Give you guys the update.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
My sister in law'st taking the kids this weekend, so
we're really excited to hear about it.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
That's awesome. Feeling good coming at you a couple times
a day. I always want to share great things with you.
Let's do it tomorrow, six forty five and nine twenty
here on 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.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
It makes me laugh.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I love it. Mac and Schmitty in the Morning on
Star one oh five point seven plug about a Smitty
Good Morning. It's that weird day, especially for a Monday,
where you wake up and it's summertime and by the
time you eat dinner tonight, Schmitte, it'll be fall.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yeah, but it still feels like summer. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
We had our ac off yesterday and I'm thinking the
storms are rolling in. The temperature changed. He's so muggy
and humid.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I was like, nope, still have non idea how to
dress properly, Bud.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Finally some rain this week, and and boy, I know
so many areas across West Michigan really really needed as
we were in the worst route I think they said
since twenty twelve at one point in time. And it
looks like, well, we'll see more rain this week. Today
got a chance of it, although partly sunny. I's into
the mid seventies this week we will have a chance
of rain basically every day right up through Thursdays.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I like it. I'm good with that.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It's not too bad as we're going on this week weekends.
I know Friday night, you were down there hosting the
big celebration for Art Prize.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
How was massive?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I mean thousands and thousands and thousands of people, a.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Nearly twenty minute fireworks show that was almost better than
the fourth to Line.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
And I want to shout out serenity, Sarah Roger. I mean,
I had probably the most amount of people ever in
my life come up to me. It was just so
staying cool. It was an incredible start to Art Prize.
And of course you're good, bring an umbrella. We've got
two weeks of just seeing the most amazing installations downtown.
It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Did you get a chance to walk around and go
check out a lot of it too?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Not really.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I pretty much stay it on the Pearl Street Bridge.
There was enough there, Great Lakes Brass. If you guys
haven't seen videos, check them out. That New Orleans style
Parade was pretty phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Well, Kanye West's tumultuous last few years are now finally
on display. This third person documentary in Whose Name hit
theaters over the weekend, giving viewers a glimpse into just
how volcanic things have been, especially with family. One Seeming
talked very much about an explosive argument with his now
(02:17):
ex mother in law, Chris Jenner.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
This is pretty hard to listen to.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I'm hard to be dead.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
This is the a medication.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
No one from the family has said any responsibility from.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
My hospital hysics.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
But if you want to go online, that's fifty percent
of what.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
People say, at least or maybe.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
In my line. It doesn't matter my line. I mean
normally you just.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
Finished the second.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It matters to us and you.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It doesn't matter what the internet says.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It matters what we think.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Yay.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So what do you think? Did you have an effect
on my mentors?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yes, yes, I'm yes, and I love you. I love you.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I don't want you to be not perfect.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
I love you, and I want my daughter to love
you the way you want her.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
To love you.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
There's also a very intense scene backstage at SNL. After
that really wild moment, he walked out at the end
credit scene wearing the Make America Great Again hat. Turns
out Weekend Update co host Michael Jay actually confronted him backstage,
said he thought yea was foul for throwing them under
the bus in the last minute, and expressed serious disappointment,
(03:37):
saying he saw Kanye as a superhero for the black community.
Security had to step in. This thing is as wild
as it was promised to be. But remember Kanye greenlit
this entire thing and told the director show them all
of it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I mean that is pretty incredible just because we watched
it all unfold from the outside right. You saw the
after effects, the comments that would come out of a
different family, the insane acts that Kanye would do.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I think, what's crazy here? We never saw this on
keeping Up. This is stuff we have not seen in
reality television whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
So that is still in theaters.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Tom Holland, the actor, rushed to a hospital after a
stunt gone wrong on the Spider Man set. This went
down Friday. The British actor allegedly cracked his head after
suffering a fall on set of Spider Man. Brand New
Day filming on the more than one hundred and fifty
million dollar Marvel movie has been suspended indefinitely. He was
(04:35):
rushed to a hospital and treated for a concussion. Tom's dad, Dominic,
attended a charity dinner in May Fairy yesterday, confirming his
son would be away from filming for a while now.
Tom ended up showing up to that event. He posed
for photos with his partner Zendea, before having to leave
suddenly because he was not doing well. Marvel's confirmed filming
(04:57):
is on hold for at least several weeks while he
recovers from this. But it sounds really really scary.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, I mean when you fall and hit your head,
that is the scary stuff where you just don't know
how bad it can be. Show him all right.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Finally, Carni b is breaking the Guinness World Record. Of course,
her massive am I the Drama album has been getting
rave reviews, and her team decided to do something a
little interesting, partnering up with Walmart. They actually dropped the
albums via drone to a bunch of fans across the
(05:29):
Fort Worth, Dallas area, so many in fact, she set
a Guinness World record.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I can't even believe this.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
My fan has been getting my album from drones.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Senior execs at Guinness say that the most deliveries by
UAV drones in under an hour. She dropped one hundred
and seventy six albums in less than sixty minutes, so
not a bad marketing floy I.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Just want one thing to be delivered to me by Drone.
I mean I've never even seen anyone have something delivered
by Drone. I wanted to happen.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, all of your selip scoop at West Michigan Start
dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Stellino fine points yea, and it's Mack and SCHMIDI I
mcah use a little extra pick me up on a Monday,
So draker coffee and enjoy these two stories. It's feeling
good right now on Starleino Fine points seven. And I
gotta tell you about an incredible baseball player from right
here in Michigan who's about to be drafted. It looks
like and her name is Bellaville Reel. Yes, nineteen year
(06:27):
old Bellaville Reel from Newport, Michigan is among the first
women eligible for the upcoming Women's Professional Baseball League Draft. Yes,
that's right, they're getting the league of their own, debuting
next year, the first league of its kind in over
seventy years, and out of the more than six hundred
women who tried out from around the world, Bella is
(06:50):
the only one from the state of Michigan who made
the cut and will be a part of the draft
next month. She's been playing baseball since she was four
years old, never switching over to softball despite pressure for mothers.
Her dad, Michael Villareal, introduced her to the sport and
they both sat down with WXYZ over on the east side, saying,
you know, softball just wasn't for them.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
I've always been asked like when are you going to
transfer to softball? Are you ever going to play softball?
And I've always said no, like I don't want to
do that. I don't want to hold that yellow ball.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
From day one, that's what we do around the house,
played around the yard and saw we know we don't
know softball, they don't know softball, but man, does she
know baseball? No girls teams growing up, so she played
alongside the boys until she was sixteen, joining the league
called Baseball for All, a national organization that was founded
by Justin Siegel, who is also a female baseball player
(07:41):
and is the one who is actually launching this brand
new league for Villareal, though the draft pool, making that
draft pool is not just for her, It's for other
people out there that have always dreamed of playing a
sport in their passion.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Not only do I do it for me and my family,
I do it for the little girls in the older
women that like have the dream to do this and
had the dream to do it. It feels good to
be able to be the one to like be their shoe.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Sometimes making history pretty cool?
Speaker 8 (08:11):
All right?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You never have to wonder what the latest in Detroit
sports looks like, because Don Miles has you covered. The
eighty one year old has a home made scoreboard in
his front yard, all made himself, updated every single Lions
and Tigers game of the season. Still does it old school.
(08:32):
This was last week after the Lions beat the Bears.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Makes a little better time eighty five on the same day,
we're gonna take down this sad face. Now we're gonna
put up the one for today's victory.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
And the man brought him home a victory. Give me
a moment here, all right, all you fans, doesn't that
look better? Tigers Lions all the way?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I think we all wish we lived by a It's
so cute. I'm gonna put it on our Facebook at
West Michigan Star.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Well, it was an absolutely epic weekend in Vegas for
our iHeartRadio Music Festival twenty twenty five. Huge names, everyone
from Brian Adams, who I think absolutely killed it, to
Maroon five. We saw Mariah Carey and she was personally
one of my highlights because I was a big ODB
(09:32):
fan in the late nineties and to hair her sample
fantasy with him behind it sounded so cool.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Ye it was oh good.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And you know what I didn't see like a ton
of dancing, over the top performance. It was just the
Queen's voice. And I think everyone was like, you just
can't top Mariah Carey.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
She was so good.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
There's always insane collaborations at the Iheartrate of Music Festival.
I did not have ODB on my list of possibilities, and.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
The guy who did him was so spot on it
was amazing. There could be another little problem for ABC
following the pause of Jimmy Kimmel Live after his comments
about Charlie Kirk. They happened to be in a very
serious negotiation with the NFL. So Michael McCarthy is from
(10:39):
Frontoffice Sports dot Com and Citing unnamed sources, he writes, Disney,
obviously apparent company of ABC, may have to choose between
Kimmel and the NFL. So last month, ESPN, which is
also ABC and Disney owned, joined at the NFL to
announce a deal that, if finalized, would give ESPN control
of assets, including the NFL network, while then giving ten
(11:02):
percent of ESPN's equity to the league. So the big
deal here that regulatory approval is required. Both sides were
pretty confident that would happen until now. They obviously want
to curry favor, especially with the FCC. While the deal
was never going to be easy to manage. According to
(11:23):
these unnamed sources, a ton of issues have come up
now and it looks like Disney is going to be
either do we bring Kimmel back and risk the NFL partnership,
or do we guarantee a seat at the sports table
because this is obviously something they want to bring to
their streaming as well.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I mean, it's pretty messed up because at the end
of the day, I think you and I both probably
feel that this comes down to the almighty dollar.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, stutely, Yeah, we'll see how that goes. They are
still deep in talks right now. Finally, here is something
that's going to make you feel really old. I saw
this video trending and it was too good not to
talk about Lil Wayne and Nellie trying to figure out
Instagram Live. Wait until you here, And I don't believe
anything has been smoked or taken yet.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
They just aren't super techy.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Can other people see why?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I see stuff like stuff coming at the bottom.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
That's people saying stuff to me.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Yeah, I think yeah, I think we both are here, Yeah,
we both are here.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
They talking to us.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
No, why is everything's sparkling on you?
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Like?
Speaker 8 (12:23):
Yo?
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Why is it?
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Hold on?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
No, that ain't it?
Speaker 8 (12:26):
Oh hold on, I got it a fit.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Oh there we go fix.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I gotta tell you, guys, if you would like to
feel your youngest, go ahead and watch the entire time
as they attempt to figure out Instagram Live.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
It is brilliant. Got enough with your scoop at West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Start hum, Welcome into Monday. It's Mick and SCHMITTI and
you're not thinking about a Monday, Smitde, you're thinking about
a holiday.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, we are in it, man.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I think I talked about this a bit last week
my kids have been begging me for the last week
and a half, two weeks to get our Halloween decorations up. Yeah,
I would say fifty percent of our neighborhood has theirs
up like huge. I mean the seventeen foot skeletons. Our
neighborhood is very into Halloween.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
You make me feel so lame. I'm gonna call out
all my neighbors right now because we've got those scary
stuff up.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
By all, our neighborhood is next level. It's like the
coolest place to live.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
So it was one of those days yesterday, kind of cloudy,
and I said, this will be perfect. We have no sports,
we have no major commitments. We will get all of
the bins out and started to put up a bunch
of our stuff. But it was last night that got
me because I've I realized how obsessed my kids really
are with Halloween, and my daughter especially because I walked
(13:39):
in to put her to bed and I nearly had
a heart attack because she had taken our skeleton for
the porch that sits on our chair and she put
it in her bed and we're talking, I mean, this
thing is like a six foot skeleton in her bed.
She took all the spiders and put them around her room.
(14:00):
She had the Jack Skelington head on her dresser that
she was going to use as a night light. And
then to cap it all off, she had taken the
really scary skeleton sign and just put it next to
her lamp.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
And she was going to sleep like that.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
And this girl finds the most comfort in the scariest stuff.
And I was like, baby, you cannot have all this
stuff in here. I was like, first of all, Bob,
of course, is we named our skeleton now? And that's everything.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I'm like, he's supposed to be outside in the porch.
We're going this week to get his friend from the stores.
We have both of them.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
And she goes came again on one for my bed
and I was like, I just don't think I want
you sleeping with a skeleton in your bed.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Somehow that feels like trauma later in life it.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Might be, but man, do I love it. I love
the idea that your daughter is so in the Halloween
that she wants a skeleton in bed. It's like her
new study skeleton. Like, Hey, I'm afraid of the dark.
Would you mind lighting up that skeleton space for me?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
It's so and like my husband and I are just
looking at each other and he just kind of does
the I don't know, Oh, this is what we've birthed.
She outdoors that I guess. Yeah, an.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Completely around Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I thought it was interesting because Spirit Halloween just came
out over the weekend with the biggest Halloween costumes of
twenty twenty five and not surprising. I guarantee, if she
knows this is a costume, she's going to ask for it.
The K Pop Demon Hunters.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
It's everywhere. My daughter already said something to you.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
You're going to see Roomy, Mira, Zoe, all of those
number one selling costume for twenty twenty five. They said,
Wicked for Good. You're going to see a ton of
Alpha Bus, You're going to see a ton of Glinda's.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
They said.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Marvel's superheroes are still big because of Thunderbolts. So they
said Invisible Woman. I'm not sure how you do that
as a costume. I'm going to go as Invisible Woman
and stay home like that's now my new idea. Uh,
squid Game is still big.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, a month apart from each other.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
He said that was in the top five, and then
rounding it out and it actually looks kind of cool
the ghost face from Scream, but it's all blinked out
in pink diamonds.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Interesting. My son had the one where like you squeezed
the handheld thing and the blood pumps. It was the
most terrifying mask ever.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I was like, I don't know, my daughter would love
to sleep with that is a stuffy too. So if
you've got a weird kid like mine six one six
four five eight one five seven, something really crazy your

loss of I'll call a legend. Elaine merk Bender, one
of the final Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz, has
passed away. According to her daughter, Lane died Sunday. Cause
of death not officially known. Not surprising. Most of the
actors who played Munchkins have passed. That was a nineteen
(21:24):
thirty nine movie. Elaine was one of the few who
were still alive. Talked a lot about the movie and
the incredible experience. She was ninety four years old but
still getting seen on that big screen.

I told you.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
The Wizard of Oz is currently at the Las Vegas
Sphere for an interactive immersive experience.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Did you see this?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
A report published says the Wizard of Oz is generating
two million dollars a day at the Sphere.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I thought it was pretty insane because of the successive
Wizard of Oz. I saw just last week that this
year they now expect in concerts to bring in about
two hundred million dollars to the Sphere and movies like
that to bring in four hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I mean it is profit profit profit. I've got all

Today's battle question.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
We've got one hundred women surveyed named something besides books
you might find in the library.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
The library has everything.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Now, I mean movies, music, dude. I'm there for the
critter barn came to our library.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
They've got it all. Six one, six, four, five, eight,
one oh five seven. One hundred women surveyed name something
besides books you might find in the library. Caller seven,
You got that number one answer. We've got your tickets
to Bush on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Good morning Star. Who's this Norah? Where are you calling
from today? In rapid? All right, Nora, let's see if
we can get you out to go see Bush. It's sorry, eagle, Yeah,
let me see here, Gotta tell me, Nora. One hundred
women were asked to name something besides books you're gonna
find in a library. A computer, A computer. I was
(23:31):
thinking the right answer would be librarians, because it's pretty
difficult to walk into a library and not have a
librarian in there. But it's twenty twenty five, and really
this has been true for a couple decades. Computers is
the top answerday. That's right. Nobody wants to use the
cards with the Dewey decimal system anymore. We just want
to look it up on the computers.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Right, I guess, I know, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
It's a lost art, that Dewey decimal system. Congratulations, you're
gonna go see Bush this Zember twentieth. It's soaring eagle. Congrats,
thank you, you are so welcome. Going to be a
great show over there for sure. By the way, I
was computers, followed by librarian, librarians, the magazines and newspapers
rounding out those top answers. Bagod morning to you, starting
a five point seven, it's mack in schmitty, And let's
(24:16):
talk about skipping school, Smitty, when it was allowed, when
your parents actually were on board with you skipping school.
And I know both you and I are the children
of educators, and so in my house.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Never I was never allowed to. In fact, my mom
was the teacher that said, hey, it's bring your daughter
to school day and you or bring your daughter workday.
You get to do that every day, every single day.
Never got Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I don't think. Uh maybe if it happened once, I
just don't remember it. But I don't think my parents
ever let me skip school for a cool reason. And
I bring this up because this weekend it my kids'
schools forest Hill Central, it was their homecoming, Schmitty. But
last week and I talked talk to you about this,
just illness ripped through these schools. My wife wound up
(25:08):
getting it from my daughter who was home for three
days last week. We heard there were over a hundred
kids out sick on Wednesday of last week from just
her school, which is just seventh and eighth graders. Insane
to think about, but it was going through the high school,
it was going through elementary, and so with homecoming on Saturday,
(25:28):
the big dance was on Saturday, Schmiddy. We know multiple
parents that kept their kids, their high school kids out
of school on Friday so they'd be healthy for the dance,
so that they would be able to go to the
dance on Saturday. And honestly, it blew my mind because
that was the so opposite of anything my parents would
(25:50):
have ever done that. I'm like, oh, yeah, wash your
hands every five seconds and you can go to the dance.
Otherwise you're going to school today. I have never heard
of parents keeping healthy kids out of school because they
were too worried that there might be some sick kids there.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I mean, we had this conversation about a year ago
where I talked about really being a proponent of mental
health days for your kids. I think they should be
allowed like one a quarter. You know, when they're getting
up and you just know it's not going to be
a great day and they need to rest. The amount
of parents that came to me in the comments going,
you're so right, that's brilliant. You're right they can miss
school that sometimes it calls for those kinds of things.
(26:29):
And I don't know, the friday before homecoming, what are
they doing.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I mean, well, you're going to school, it's another school day.
You could have said that. What would your mother have
said if this situation we're in in her well.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, she wouldn't have let me.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
But I think I'm going to do it differently, like
I actually, you know, asked me when I was a kid,
I would have been like, please, but I get it.
Stay specially if you've got a senior, this could be
their last homecoming. Nobody wants neurovirus when they've gone dress shopping.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
That's not the time you wanted to kick in. Hey,
I know we're waiting in line for bitchers, but I
gotta go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
My so wild but I think I'm kind of on
board with it. If it's a Friday and I'm I
mean more so, I want to ask the teachers.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That's really are you excited to keep going in?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
It's a bold choice. Congrats the kids. Hope you had
a blasted homecoming and your extra day off of school.
We got this going on Facebook, though, you can weigh in.
That's West Michigan Star. All right, let's get this week
moving in the right direction. Challby feeling good on start
one on five point seven? What's going on? Smide?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Well, I saw this and I was so touched. It
is such a brilliant idea. Lydia Betts is a music
therapist at Helen Deboss Children's Hospital. No doubt you've heard
us talk with her in the past for our radiothon,
but she has written a very special song for Childhood
Cancer Awareness Month that is coming up. It is a
(27:47):
very important thing for so many of our patients and
kids fighting this awful disease. Take a listen to just
a bit of it. So are you ready for the
(28:10):
coolest part? Those heartbeats in the background are recordings of
the pediatric hematology and oncology team. Really incredible. I have
it up on our Insta stories. It is worth listening
to the entire thing. Lydia, what a touching, touching moment.
You are just what of those angels we talk about.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Big time and cannot wait to talk to her again.
I want to talk to her about that as we
get closer in radio thought. I'll be back this December.
All right, Bennie, this is cool. Of course, Lions fans,
we got Monday night football to look forward to tonight.
And maybe maybe before you watch the game, or perhaps
when you get some time on your hands and you
feel like really embracing yourselves in some of the Lions
(28:50):
fan hood, Well, don't you go get lost to this
corn maze because the Long family orchard and farm and
commerce township over on the East Side over the weekend
unveiled a brand new corn maze hontering Destroit Lions wide receiver.
I'm on Ross Saint Brown, and of course you know
what design they did for him, the viral headstand touchdown
celebration for that game back in twenty twenty three against
(29:12):
the Green Bay Packers. And what made this all come
to life, Well, actually, bro brothers, Bobby and Will Long
came up with the idea. After they were there in
Green Bay for that incredible moment that they got to see,
they knew they wanted to do something special.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
I was at the game actually in Green Bay, and
so I got to see that firsthand, and I saw
the whole thing go viral. We caught it in early July,
and so early July we've been keeping our mouths shut
and keeping the secret, and so we've just been watching
it grow into a giant. A Monrock cornts, Oh, it's
just amazing. We're just creating family memories and it's just
I always say, there's no better place to be. It's
(29:48):
like Disneyland and Commerce. You know, it's just awesome.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
So you've seen it in cake form, Now go see
it in maze form. The I'm on Round Headstand Touchdown
celebration again at Long Family Orchard and Farm in Commerce,
open Saturdays and Sundays all day long. If you want
to go out there and do I'll.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Give you guys the update.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
My sister in law'st taking the kids this weekend, so
we're really excited to hear about it.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
That's awesome. Feeling good coming at you a couple times
a day. I always want to share great things with you.
Let's do it tomorrow, six forty five and nine twenty
here on Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday,
starting at six am on Star one oh five point
seven
