Speaker 2 (00:07):
Gets my day going and makes me laugh. It Mac
and Schmitty in the morning on Star one of five
point seven. Good morning, Sitty, Good morning. Welcome into yes Wednesday.
That came quick, Not so bad.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I took a poll this morning with my Instagram story.
Is it one of those already Wednesday or is it
only Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I'll be honest, so far it's an already Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I'm feeling more only Wednesday. Yeah, I think I have
taken a couple extra labor days.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
My friends, Oh, that wouldn't be so terrible. However, our
labor day was surrounded by phenomenal weather. We will not
be seen that. Today doesn't look like is especially this afternoon.
It looks like we may see some showers roll into
West Michigan on hangout for a big part of the
evening today, with highs only into the low seventies. But
what I saw Schmitty beyond that was that tomorrow's high
(00:58):
will actually challenge one hundred year old record for that
coldest day in that day's history.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Coldest high this time, Yes, guys is den Chillie. Yeah,
if you want to watch storm team mate last night,
my loving lovely friend Ellen Bacchus saying, listen, towards the
end of September, our highs are typically sixty seven, and
the next few days we are going to struggle to
barely hit sixty to sixty two. So if you want
to maybe switch over a little baby part of the wardrobe,
(01:25):
or if you are a parent, make sure that your
kid's pants are actually clean. We were talking about that
last night. I'm like, jeez, Will, I'm not sure if
you have jeans that are gonna look like petal pushers
on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
But here we go es music and all the gossip
in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Well, for the first time, actor Channing Tatum is very
much getting open about his very messy split from now
ex wife Jenna Dewan, calling it so brutal. The heartbreak
actually fueled his latest movie role, So Channing will be
stepping into the shoe of real life fugitive Jeffrey Manchester
for his new movie roof Man, and he said the
(02:05):
gut punch moment when his character in the movie is
longing for a relationship with his daughter is something Channing
understood all too well.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
So.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Channing met Jenna back in two thousand and six, got
married three years later before they separated in twenty eighteen,
and he tells Variety Magazine it was crushing to watch
the love story unravel because it had started when they
were still so so young. According to Channing, they fought
hard to keep things together, but it just didn't work,
and the hardest part was not the messy split itself,
(02:37):
but not having his daughter, Everly, who's now twelve, with
him all the time, something he still wishes for every
day now. In the interview, Channing does stress him and
Jenna are on good terms now, it did take a
while to get there. If you'll remember, their messy divorce
lasted six years before it was finally completed after the
first filing. But he said a lot of what you're
(02:58):
going to see him this new movie is exactly what he.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Felt going through that divorce. I mean, the end of
a relationship is so tough, and I don't know anybody
who goes through a divorce that long. And it's like, yeah,
that's the way I wanted to do it.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Rapper Cardi Beacon breathe easy. She's been found not liable
of assault and battery in a civil case whose ruling
came down yesterday and Mani ellis is a form of
security guard that sued the rapper for twenty four million
bucks alleging she hit her, cut her face, spit on her,
and hurled racial slurs during an issue back in twenty eighteen,
(03:33):
Cardi b taking the stand in her own defense, saying
none of this happened. And then it was after the
court gave its ruling yesterday, she spoke to reporters and
gave a threat to anyone else thinking about trying to
call her out for something that did not happen.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
But to be honest with you, I have missed my
kids frisday of school today because of this, and I'm
not even putting around even if I'm in my deathbed,
I swear to God, I will say it in my deadbt.
I did not touch that woman. I did not touch
that girl. And with that being said, this time around,
I'm gonna be nice. The next person to try to
(04:09):
do a priverlely lawful against me, I'm going to concert
suit and I'm gonna make you pay.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
She was honestly most angry about having to miss a
ton of first day of school things for her kids
because she had the band court.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
An angry mom there for sure. Plus she cames on
getting the pregnancy questions, which she also freed she did, and.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
She threw a pen at that person. I couldn't play
that video due to some language, but it is up
for you at West Michigan Star dot com. Finally, Fifth
Harmony without Camila Cabeo doesn't mean any bad blood. Kamila
herself showing some major love to her former bandmates. If
you missed the story yesterday the Joe bros On tour
(04:50):
in Dallas Sunday night when they surprised the audience by
bringing out the original Ali, Dinah, Lauren and Normani from
Fifth Harmony, and as you can see in the videos
posted last night, Camila popped into quite a few different
comments just listing heart after heart after heart sources to
say she was thrilled to see the girls back together.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I mean, you never know when you want to jump
back on that train.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
All of your celebscoop at West Michigan Start dot com.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
He's starting a five points Chevin, good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmidti feeling good right now and stories
like this always just blow me away. How long do
you think the longest you've ever walked before? Schmitte barely
a five k, barely a five k. I don't think
I've ever walked more than like maybe a dozen twelve miles.
I don't know somewhere in there. Definitely not from the
(05:36):
top of the country to the bottom. But that's what
one must. Michigan man is doing going from Grand Haven
all the way to Miami and doing it all a
raiders' awareness for mental health. Lee John's is his name,
and he's calling it the Long Walk Project. And he's
doing it because he's told wood TVA, mental health doesn't
have a finish line, it doesn't plock out at five pm,
(05:56):
and it doesn't care how tough you pretend to be.
And I believe that even one one person walking solo
across the country can spark conversations, raise awareness, and offer
hope to somebody who needs it. Ie. You know, so
he's carrying the weight that nobody sees, but he's also
carrying a lot of extra way too. He's got a
sixty pound pack on for this fifteen hundred mile plus journey.
(06:17):
I mean, he's got treading poles, a solar panel, battery packs, water,
an inflatable pillow in bed, blanket, tent, chair, first aid kit,
and himself, no support team, just doing this all on
his own. He walks between fifteen to twenty miles with
no support. He's up to day twenty nine on foot
already has walked more than three hundred miles and when
(06:37):
Wood TV caught up with him when he was just
north of Kentucky, he said, you know, this is a
small thing to do for others who are really struggling.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Pretty much, just put your mind to something.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Anything's possible.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
He's got to start doing it, you know, like I
never thought I'd be walking across the country.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
You know, I just take it every one day at
a time.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
I hope that someone can see that maybe they're going
through something and say that it's really not.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
As far as they think it might be, and they
just got to keep trying at it. You know, eventually
they're going to get to their destination.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Of course, he's documenting this all on social media and
all the funds going to the National Lions on Mental.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Illness all right, from walking down the country to biking
across the Patrick Murphy says his road to becoming a
die hard Detroit Lions fan. Began forty five years ago
when he would spend Sunday afternoons with his dad, the
late Jim Murphy, watching those games on TV in the
early eighties, looking at big names like Billy Simms, and
(07:33):
also outdoor recreation. That's right. Sometimes they would bike their
way to watch the Lions play, and that's become a
huge part of Patrick's adult life. So when he plans
to do a more than two thousand mile bike ride
for charity, have no fear he'll be rocking that Lions jersey.
He spoke with the Free Press.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Hi, my name is Patrick Murphy, and that September tenth,
I'm going to be riding my bicycle from San Diego, California,
all the way to Tybee Island, Georgia, over twenty nine
hundred miles in twenty eight days. I am inspired to
do this ride because of my faith, my family.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
And friends, and for the Marian Medical Mission. Patrick says
he actually visited Africa a few years ago, fell in
love with the people, made some close friends, and it's going
to be raising money to construct wells as well as
supporting their medical mission. This is a very big deal.
Patrickpedals dot com as he kicks off in just a
(08:29):
few short days. Got to post it at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Dot com Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's the Celebritiescoop. On Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Travis Kelcey has finally spoken out for the first time
about the earth shattering internet breaking proposal to superstar Taylor
Swift announced last week. Of course, breaking the internet, like
I said, getting down on Monday in that gorgeous garden.
And we're only learning a little bit. But if you
listen to the new episode of the New High podcast
(09:01):
dropping later this morning, maybe we'll learn a bit more.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
And I appreciate everybody that reached out and sent something
and all the posts and all the excitement that's been
going on. It's been really fun telling everybody who I'm
going to just spending the rest of my life with.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, the Swifties were very excited about it, but that's all.
We got just a little teaser again before that episode
drops later on today.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I mean, I just I'm just not ready for all
of this talk. Until they're married. That's so far, until.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
You do it today, all right, So, speaking of the
big proposal. Will Jason Kelsey be the best man? It's
been a question everyone's been asking. Well. He talked about
his own chances on the Busting with the Boys podcast,
saying it could be tough. Trev's got a lot of
good friends to.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Watch them support each other, love each other and get
to the stage and now to have this together. I'm
just I mean, I'm very happy for him.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Did we just hear a best man speech?
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Well, we just heard a best Manna, I'm gonna fire
a something a lot better.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
This.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Well, first of all, hopefully I'm the best man. We'll see,
Trav has a lot of friends. I'm just hoping to
get there. You're going right, Yeah, Yeah, a busting episode
live from the stream.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Always looking for the career move that Jason Kelsey.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
So we'll see there is a hundred chance he's the
best man.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And finally, Kim Kardashian is sharing the one thing as
a mom she really doesn't believe in when it comes
to school, that's homework. The skims co founder made a
surprise appearance on Kai Senate's Mafiathan three live streams. So
he is a top YouTuber and twitch streamer. Kardashian showed
up with her son Saint, and they brought up the
(10:49):
issue of homework and Kim is very against it. Here's
why I don't believe in homework.
Speaker 9 (11:02):
But I'm going to tell you why, because like you
got to go home there in school for eight hours
a day when they come home like they need to
also the new sports time with their family. I think
the homework should be left for like.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
School, And honestly a majority of people are agreeing with
her on this. She also went on to talk about
how many activities kids are in. It was a really
kind of refreshing take. She said, Listen, I really want
my kids to be able to rest and have time
with family, not spend eight hours a day at school
and then come home with five hours of homework on
top of it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Till when like, do you think like she means just
younger kids or by the time you get to high school,
I mean, nor it's.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Almost in high school, so that could be it. I
don't know. It's a really interesting take. Got the interview
up for you with your scoop at West Michigan. Start
off a good.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Morning to you. It's Mac and Schmidty, and you said
you're going to give me a quiz on fishing terms,
real or fake? Am I going to lose my man card?
Here is this?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I don't think it's a man card type of game.
I just find it really funny because I was talking
yesterday about a lot of our Labor Day weekend being
spent out on the boat, and we actually took two
different families at two different times to go out and fish.
And for my best friend's son, who's really getting into it,
it was hysterical because Chris is like setting up his
lines and getting all these things, and he keeps saying
(12:19):
stuff and like those could not possibly be real, words
like that's not never in my life. And it became
such a running joke that my best friend and I
just started yelling things out of to other fishermen, like hey,
do you have your bomber Mcdobbeley's, because that's how insane
it is. And so then yesterday we had an interview
come in for one of my other shows. He's a
(12:39):
big fisherman, and off air, we just got into this
whole conversation about crazy fishing terms and he's like, oh yeah,
go ahead, and I said, have you ever heard of that?
Oh yeah, I've got a couple of those and this, Yeah,
that's really important. Like then name them real life things.
So I figured you're not really a fisherman at all,
merely at all, Yeah, barely at all. So you're not
(12:59):
gonna know because I didn't know any of these. So
I'm gonna give you a name of something and you
can tell me whether it's an actual fishing term or
piece of fishing gear or if it's fake something you're
completely Are you ready and do this? Okay? A tattle flag?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Tattle flag is real?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Okay? Do you know what it is?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
No? I mean I can assume what it is in this.
I think it's something that floats above the water to
tell you whether or not something's on your line.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Wow, that is a town flag. It's on the top
of a planar board.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Sure, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I thought that was fake for sure. Tattle flag is real,
guess or don't even How about a brawny.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Oh, the quicker picker upper is that we're fred you
gotta bring paper towels with you on a fishing drip.
I know that's true as well.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
No idea that is fake?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, fake?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Good?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
How about a dipsy diver?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Oh, a dipsy diver is definitely real.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Wow, okay, you're two for two.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Definitely real. Know what it is?
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Clunker cod?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
A clunker cod. I mean that sounds like it should
be fake, but I'm gonna say real fake. Ah, baby,
you know what cod fish? I went with the cod,
all right, that's what I'm a thunderstick. Oh, I'm bringing
it all the time. Yes, thunderstick is real.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
It is. I have no idea what it is. I
just had Chris google me and send me a bunch
of terms I could use.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
It's not those inflatable things you just slap together and
no idea.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I could go ahead and search it for you, but
not at all.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
A J plug A J plug, that's real. That is real,
so real? All right?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
So you are what four for one right now? I'm
actually over the moon impressed. I didn't think you'd get
a single one. I got lucky on three of these. Wow, easily?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
How about a squash?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
A squash? I hate them. You disgusting, whether it's summer
or any other type. Not good. No, I have no idea.
I don't think so fake?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
All right?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Is that fair? Do for one?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Dang?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I actually was really hoping I have more fun with
this and get you on every single thing. But I'll
tell you, guys, if you were on Moskeigean Lake Sunday
and Monday, I got app absolutely none of those right.
And I was the one pulling into the dock with
my bobbily boobs bombers, which I said to three different fishermen,
to the absolute defeat of my husband, who said, I
(15:12):
can't believe I bring my wife fishing. So I'm gonna
put a few of these up West Michigan Star dot com.
See if you can break m quiz.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I can't even repeat half the things that you just said.
I don't even remember I was dipsey diver is about
the closest one I think. I think I even remember it.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Absolutely insane, but hey, shout out to all those fishermen
that keep our pure Michigan waters.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Beautiful, sting a fine points. Chevin, Good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmidty, and we try to make parents
feel good on this show, not only by telling you
about cool stuff going on around for your family, but
really more so by just owning up to our parenting fails. Well,
I had one last Night's had a whole different thing
I was going to talk about today, but instead I
(15:52):
had a nice fail last night where I showed up
for my sons tackle football practice to pick them up,
and I shut up about ten minutes early because I
knew there were scrimmaging and they wanted to see him
out on the field and doing their thing. And it
was cool, and I had a cool parking spot that
was like looking at the field and I saw my
son out there. He's a big kid, so like he
when he's around his own fifth grade friends and classmates,
(16:14):
he stands above them or whatever. Easy to pick out. Well,
there's six traders on the team, so a lot of
big kids, and he is number eighty six. I'm watching
him and he's out there and he's playing on the
defensive line for a little bit, and then he's playing
some offense. You know, he's got a good practice, Like
oh awesome. And then practice is over and I'm waiting
and dinner's also waiting at home, so I'm sitting here
(16:35):
like all right, you know how a parent is, like, Okay,
practice is over, get your crap, let's go hangout time. Well,
he's got his back to me and he is just
talking to a couple of his buddies, and I'm just like, dude,
come on, I tap the horn a little bit, like
a little quiet tapper. Nothing. I'm like, all right, it's fine.
I just get out of the car and I walk
up and I you know, he's wearing a football helmet.
(16:56):
So I slapped the back of his head and I said, hey,
let's go.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Oh. I would never my son.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Not my son, dude. Well it was like a play
full slap of the head. I mean, anybody who's got
a kid wholays football knows you tap him on the head.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
It's very it's not your kid. Totally normal.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That part not so much so. These kids, all of
them look at me like, you know, stranger danger for
a second, and I'm like, hey, good hustle out there,
and I myself back to that car.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I am so uncomfortable's getting arrested.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Whatever, Smitty. I think it just shows that I don't
just cheer from my kid, I'm cheering for all the kids.
I mean, we'll go with that.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Smooties music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It's the celebrity scoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Taylor Swift's generosity once again in the spotlight. After wrestling
legend Jeff Jarrett shared a selfless act the singer performing
for him in his late life in secret. So Jeff
joined TMC Sports for an interview, explaining that after hearing
about his wife Jill's breast cancer diagnosis, Taylor, who happened
(18:10):
to live in the same Tennessee community as his family,
performed a private three hour concert for them. He said
that small audience also included the couple's kids, Jocelyn, Jacqueline
and Jerylyn. He said, it was Christmas of two thousand
and six, and my first wife was really, really ill.
She came over, didn't bring her guitar in and actually
(18:32):
ran back home because the girls wanted her to sing
and play, so she was I'm sure just planning to visit.
One thing led to another. People drop by, and at
the end of the afternoon, Taylor played for almost three
hours in our great room, maybe thirty people. Jill passed
away in May of the following year, and it was
something she always talked about and said, I'm so glad
(18:53):
I got one final memory with the girls before I
passed Onbelievable Is that crazy? I mean, you just hear
all these stories and it's never come out. This was
two thousand and six.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
She was seventeen years old back in two thousand and six.
That makes me think of you know, when she was
showing up here for Taste of Grand Rapids and her
parents station wagon.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Oh good, good, good things. Miley Cyrus thrown some shade
at her mom, Tish getting at her for handing out
terrible dating advice, most notably putting hotness over personality. So
all of the Miley women sat down with the Cut
and talked about a variety of different topics, but this
(19:34):
is one that really stood out.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Mom's always wanted me to stay with the wrong guy
because they're hot.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Honestly, I thought it was gonna work with the last one,
but it did.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
No, it was too much just true. No, it's true.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Let me think of one of the lessons while so
many things.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Well I was getting.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
That was great ad mess because after so many years,
you're kind of over it and you're like, what I mean,
in your relationship, but at least I'm gonna look at
somebody that's friggin hot.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
No, mo, mom, that is not the advice. Miley admits,
after a string of filled relationships, including Cody Simpson, Caitlin Carter,
and ex husband Liam Hemsworth. She had to learn the
hard way respect is what matters most in a relationship,
and Tish never had that in her top three dating requirements.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I don't know, tell me you wouldn't rather just somebody
pretty hot.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Finally, this is wild. Have you seen the new male
model being used for the internet shopping platform she In
because it looks like United Healthcare alleged shooter Luigi Mangioni.
This is everywhere this morning. The model in the photographs
(20:50):
has a button down shirt on for sale on the
Fast Fashion website and it looks identical to Luigi. So
now fans are wondering if this is maybe photoshopped or
some kind of AI generation, but it definitely looks like
a purposeful move that Luigi Mangioni is modeling she In apparel.
(21:13):
To be fair, the shirt has sold out online.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Okay, that part's messed up because it's just a regular
shirt that looks like a million other shirts. You gotta
see this the guy, I mean that's a picture of him.
It's him.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
It looks like it may have been taken from like
a Facebook post or something. It's not even like a
mug shot. It's pretty insane. A lot of people are wondering, like, oh,
that feels like a really really inappropriate thing.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yes, I've got it Marketers getting fired, for sure.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I've got it up for you at West Michigan Star
dot Com with your scoops seven A.

Battle of the Sexes question is getting you and the
family in one hundred women surveyed. Besides the firearm, what
do police officers carry with them?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I mean they carry a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Yeah, they're like utility bell. I'm sure that's not what
it's called.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I would expe carry intons if it wasn't. If there
weren't tucked in shirts, I'd have plumber butt all the time.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Come on, all right? Six one, six, four, five, eight,

to name something that most police officers care with them
besides a firearm. Okay, so that's not the answer, but
what do you think is the top answer there?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Hand cuffs?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Handcuffs. I'll tell you what, Like, if you weren't carrying handcuffs,
it would make doing everything else as a police officers
just a little bit harder. I feel like, guys, handcuffs
is the top answer.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
Let it go.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yes, it was handcuffs, followed by their badge and then
a flashlight and a baton, rounding out those top answers. Congratulations, guys,
you're gonna get to go check out the Griffins and
the Red Wings at this year's Red and White Game.
Love that awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Congrat Zaden, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
You are so welcome. Guys. We'll do it again tomorrow.
Battle of the Sections each weekday eight fifteen here on
Star one to five point seven. Good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmidty and I got to talk about
those TV remote control habit smitty that just drive you nuts.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Besides never being able to find it when you're.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Signifting other has it, well, there's you know, they should
all have alarms. That's a million dollar idea from the nineties. Anyway, schmiddy,
my wife will do this thing because, let's face it,
and husbands know this and wives too. It's no different
when your significant other is into a show or a
type of show you watch through osmosis sometimes right like
you're in the background, you're staring at your phone. You
(24:20):
might even be in a different part of the room,
but it's on TV, so you're sort of getting pulled
into what's happening sometimes, right, Okay, Well, my wife does
this thing where she has this weird ability to stop
a show fifteen minutes before it's over and just walk
away from it and go to bed. Yah, And I
(24:40):
think that that is absolute insanity, Like that psycho stuff
to me, like you have just spent two hours watching
Love Is Blind. You're getting to the end of an
episode where some pieces you know, I don't know is
Don and Danny. Are they going to be able to
get over their political differences and set them aside?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
And love depends on the show then, because I don't
do this with documentaries. Okay, Like if I could find
like I just wrapped up Unknown Number the High School
Catfish on Netflix last night, this sounds good. I mean,
everyone you live in Michigan, you need to watch this
really and I'm able to stop it like seventeen minutes
to go because I'm like, I got to go to bed,
but I know that we are about to come into
(25:19):
another major point of the investigation, so I gotta go
to bed now or else I'm going to bed way
too late.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Okay, if there was another point coming up, but this
would be like you watching the whole documentary getting to
the big reveal, like they've been building to this, They've
been building to this, and being like, I'm a little sleepy.
Yeah more now all the kids are gonna go because I.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Think otherwise I'm up too late or I'm not enjoying
it fully because I'm stressed out about the fact that
I'm going to bed too late.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Do you know how humiliated it is to have to
ask your wife, Hey, would you just leave Love is
Blind on for fifteen pople And that's how.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
We grow closer and you admit you do love my
serial killer documentaries. Chris all Right, I had said, nfla mentory,
this is a super cool idea, especially considering our hometown
team was the first to respond. Her name is Mary Crippen.
She's a teacher in Miami, and she is the one
who's come up with this idea of nflamentary using NFL
(26:15):
teams in her classroom to teach different lessons, for example, geography.
She invited her students to write letters to all the
different NFL teams across the country. They could learn where
they're from, learn things about that area. And the first
NFL team to write back none other than the Detroit Lions,
(26:37):
who sent a totally fabulous fun pack full of goodies
for the entire class. All thanks to Alessandra, who wrote
to the team.
Speaker 9 (26:47):
No, I got a scrippt. Everything in this box is
for class boss to share.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Thank you for all who were you do our NFL.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
That's not all.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
They wanted to.
Speaker 9 (27:12):
Send a little something extra to Alissandra.

with her as your teacher. We're sending you some gifts

This season, Alessandra herself got a signed Jared Goff photo
and football missus Crippen sharing on Insta this is the
good stuff, perspective, gratitude, teamwork, A big thank you to
the Detroit Lions for putting my kiddo's over the moon.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
