week here in West Michigan.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Major players in Hollywood continue to celebrate the big announcement
that your super Bowl halftime show this February is Puerto
Rican Bad Bunny ready to absolutely rocket in Santa Clara, California.
Jennifer Lopez celebrating the big announcement, of course, a super
Bowl halftime alum herself writing now it's your turn, Let's go. Shakiro,
(01:54):
who of course co headlined with j Low, writing, welcome
back to the super Bowl stage here, oh my Latin people,
even Jelly Roll writing from WrestleMania to the super Bowl,
you inspire us all much love and diplo joking, but
for real, can I get guest list? So it seems
like this is going to be a very big deal.
(02:14):
Most things still being kept under wrap, but I am
hearing rumors that we should expect at least a couple collaborations.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
During this show.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I thought about this a bit more yesterday because I
was a little thrown off by the bad Bunny pick
and I was like, you know what, you're getting the
biggest artists of the world. The NFL doesn't care about
NFL fans for the halftime show as much as they
care about the global event that is the super Bowl.
It's the most watched television event or televised event around
the world every year.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I'm more interested. I don't know if it's NFL. I
think it's Apple. Apple's like we love it on our stage,
and it's the biggest streamed artist.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Like everybody's going to be watching this online.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Speaking of the NFL, Taylor Swift may have been at
more games than we think. She has really been flying
under the radar this season, sneaking in stadiums to watch
fiance Travis Kelsey play. In fact, it was just confirmed
last night that she was in Kansas City on Sunday,
mere hours after attending Selena Gomez's wedding in Cali, she
(03:13):
private jetted over to the stadium, slipping in completely undetected
to Arrowhead to support her Man People magazine reporting that
it was actually Taylor's dad, Scott and her brother Austin
relaxing in one of those VIP suites at the stadium
with Travis's mom Donna. That kind of gave it away,
but Taylor was nowhere in sight, although she was at
(03:37):
the stadium. So now the swift teas are on this
like deep dive sleuthing. Is she not staying in the
VIP suites? Is she disguising herself and sitting in her crowd?
Like There's so many ways that she apparently is going
to try to keep things very very low key while
still supporting him this season, which I think is really fun.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Honestly, I would like to be her in disguise every
single game and then at the end of the game
share her disguise with the world.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well, I thought this is interesting because I just watched
an interview with Kevin Bacon actually, and he talked about
hiring literally hiring one of Hollywood's biggest special effects people
to put him in a disguise, and that's how he
sometimes goes shopping so that nobody knows it's Kevin Bacon.
So I this might be a thing you would have
no idea. It was Taylor literally sitting next to you
(04:25):
in seats at Arrowhead. That's wild. Finally, it was a
very interesting themed space birthday for Sydney Sweeney the Big
two p eight. She partied in La It's kind of
some of the costumes. She showed up in the sparkling
mini dress Britney spears War for her Circus album shoot.
If you remember that, Glenn Powell was there in a
(04:47):
full on NASA suit, and Sydney's rumored boyfriend, music producer
Scooter Braun showed up dressed as a Jedi. I'm just
suing it because honestly, the pictures are worth it. We've
got to go to West Michigan Star dot com with
all your scoop.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
He's telling a fine point showing good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmide always trying to make a little
bit better with feeling good right now, very lions heavy
this morning. It sounds like because this is pretty cool.
Ford Motor Company not missing an opportunity and some great
marketing for sure. All senator around our hometown kid who's
been tearing it up so far with our Detroit Lions,
(05:26):
of course, talking about Isaac Teslav from Hudsonville. And you
might have noticed before the Lions played the Browns this
weekend's well, Tesla rolled in in a brand new vehicle.
Because of course, anyone who's ever seen his name on
a jersey before but didn't know who Tesla was might
have heard Tesla a little bit more, you know, common
(05:48):
and known well. He rolled in rocket an electric Ford
f one fifty. That's right. Ford delivered the new vehicle
to Tesla over the weekend, then he drove it to
Ford Field ahead of the game against the stepping out
of a platinum addition Ford Lightning f one point fifty
wearing a T shirt that said Tesla drives a Ford.
(06:10):
Tesla said he just loves being a part of the
Lions and connected to be connected to Ford as a
dream come true, just saying I was thrilled when Ford
approached me. Growing up, I always dreamed of playing at
Ford Field, and now that I'm in the league, it
feels full circle. Obviously. Tesla having an incredible start to
the season with just two catches but to highlight reel
catches at that, a Ford spokesman saying Tesla's electric NFL
(06:34):
debut has got everybody's attention, even Ford. Now Ford's making
sure that despite his last name, Tesla's wheels are undeniably forward.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
All right, Aiden Hutchinson's family is on the hunt for
some very emotional fans. In fact, I think it's safe
to say after this moment during the Lions and Cleveland
game on Sunday, a lot of people were feeling that
way the moment Aiden Hutchinson went down.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Hutchinson was shaken up earlier last season.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Okay, so here's the moment that they panned over to
the crowd at Ford Field, and there were two gentlemen
gut wrenching. One took his glasses off and looked like
he was gonna start crying, the other one gripping.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
His stomach like say it isn't so you're not losing eight.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Nudgenson yet again obviously walked off the sideline doing fine.
But yesterday the House of hutch Social posted can someone
please help us find these highly concerned Hutchinson fans. This
is not a drill. We may or may not have
some comforting goodies for him. So now the internet is
(07:45):
on the hunt for these two guys. And I also
wanted to do the story because if you find yourself
at Ford Field, go ahead and overreact to anything happening
with eight Nudginson because him and his family are so
cool they do things like this.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Honestly, my stomach dropped out of my butt. Everybody stunt
like the so so thankful. There these all right feeling
good coming at you a couple times a day, not
just lions. We're here to share things from all over
the world. It'll pick you up and lift your spirits.
We'll do it again. And coming up this morning at
nine twenty.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I will admit I was stunned to see this news yesterday.
After almost twenty years of marriage, Nicole Kidman and Keith
Urban are separating. Multiple sources say the couple has actually
been living a part since the beginning of summer, where
told Nichole has been taking care of their two kids
and holding the family together through this difficult time since
(08:40):
Keith has been gone. As for why, sounds pretty one sided. Apparently,
Nicole did not want the separation has been trying and
trying for months to save the marriage. Keith has acquired
his own residence in Nashville and has actually moved out
of the family home, which is also in Nashville. As
(09:00):
for whether the couple plans to officially file for divorce,
there have not been court documents put in for that yet,
but they do share kids fourteen and seventeen.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I was stunned.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, honestly, this was a couple that had gone on
for so long. Now it's just those one of those
like safety blanket celebrity couples, right like Keith Urban Nicole Kidman.
They're going to do their thing.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
But I'm shocked, more shocked than it's actually out there
that only one of them wanted this divorce. Like, I'm
curious if we hear some more information about something furious
that may have gone down here. Actor Josh Hartnett hospitalized
when an suv he was riding in was struck by
a Canadian law enforcement officer. According to a report from
(09:44):
the CBC, the two vehicles are collided around one am
back on Thursday. Heartnett was on his way home after
a day of filming an untitled Netflix series. Heartnet was
the passenger. He was driven by an unidentified fifty nine
year old man. An officer in the patrol VA also hospitalized.
As a precaution, please say, both vehicles were significantly damaged
(10:05):
in the crash. They are seeking witnesses and videos related
to the case. This is some kind of Netflix Newfoundland series,
kind of untitled according to IMDb, but so far Josh's
rep has not spoken out about this.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Josh Hartnett has always fascinated me because he became this
like megastar right off the bat, I'm thinking of like
Pearl Harbor, and then around two thousand and five, two
thousand and seven, he just disappears for like fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah, he did Blackhawk Down and then was like done.
I'm obsessed with Josh Hartnett.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's really the story, you guys.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
And finally, if you, like myself, have kids that adore
the K pop demon Hunter's phenomenon, get this. The singing
voices behind Hunter Tricks will be performing together live for
the very first time.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
This is a week from tonight.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Remember I said maybe the kids could stay up late
because this will be on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
He made the announcement on his YouTube. So this is
ej Audrey, Nuna and Reami, the singing voices behind Hunterricks.
Of course, this is the Netflix blockbuster, most stream show
(11:19):
of all time. They hold multiple top ten hits on
the Billboard two hundred and it will be their first
ever live performance together. NBC really excited about this. You'll
be able to stream it the next day in case
the kids can't stay up for it. But this will
be a very, very big deal.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Jimmy should totally do his classroom and instrument bit with
those guys, for sure.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
It is second time I want to hear just them
for the first live performance. I've got some more details
on that. Jlo is going to be a guest on
the Tonight Show as well, so think about her join again.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Com po points seven. Good morning to you. It's Mack
and Schmidty And you know, if you were afraid to
jump into the.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Truck before, you definitely will be now.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I saw this story really start to get covered this morning.
The DNR said there have been a credible and consistent
amount of reports of an alligator on Bellisle, So they
started with Lynn Blacy.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
She lives in Hamtramck.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
She regularly visits Bellisle and she took some pictures last Friday.
Apparently she was walking around and like that, that really
looks like an alligator.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
But we live in Michigan.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
The DNR said they responded to the report and while
they couldn't make a visible confirmation, they geo located the
photo and they said, this is credible. This is consistent.
Be very cautious in the water. This is a report
from Channel seven in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The DNR says since the sighting was reported Friday, they've
been looking for the gator but haven't found it. So
if you spot it, don't approach it. The DNR is
working on next steps to get this gator to safety.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah, there's just an alligator roaming around with the no
big deal. The DNR had to come out with a
statement once again.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It's like guys. Releasing wild animals or pets into state
parks is prohibited and also super harmful not native species,
in disrupt local habitats and also pose serious risks to visitors.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
It's gonna say, when something brushes against your leg, I
feel like you'll be a little more nervous now.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I mean, I guess the good news. What water is
Belle Isle on? Is it Lake Saint Clair or is
it like because I'm not putting my foot in that
water anyway, So.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Listed I grew up spending my summers in Gross Point
with my grandparents.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I'm I'm good.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
That thing's probably not nibbling at my toes. But the
picture that they posted, this thing's like up on the rocks,
sunning itself. So it's not staying in the water. It's
like Belle Isle's nice, I'm gonna take a jaunt.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I mean, it's south of Lake Saint Clair. It's right
in the middle of the Detroit River, right, so you
weren't probably getting there was just a you know this
is We've got the alligator, but how about the crocodile.
There's just a crocodile found over in Hampton Township up
by the Thumb just last week, chilling out, shunning itself
by your old crab apple tree.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I thought this is perfect timing because as of an
hour ago, my neighborhood Facebook group is blowing up because
somebody had posted, Hey, I was just outside with my
dog at five fifty am, there's a pack of coyotes
moving between this street and this street, and I was like,
what it's happening. Remember a COVID when we were still
(14:30):
coming into work.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Oh the coyotes. Wh I started coming.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Coyotes, dear everything.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
They just took over downtown Grand Rapids when humans weren't
really around.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
It's it's happening, you guys, like, this is what I mean.
And I know people must have insane wildlife.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Encounter stories, you know, in terms of coyotes coming that
close to us was definitely pretty wild. I think for me,
craziest ever thing I ever saw right in front of
me was a bald eagle in a red tailed hawk
going to absolute war over like a two foot long Wow.
We're on a golf course and I'm not kidding. This
(15:07):
bird fight happened on the ground for a solid five
minutes as they were just pummeling each other. And I
have never been more captivated my entire life. Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Nature is incredible. I think I've shared the story. We
were in the up two summers ago and I saw
my first bear.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I'm so jealous.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I don't be because so jealous Honestly, it doesn't look
like it does on nat GEO. We were driving home.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It was late, it was into the evening, little after dusk,
and I honestly thought it was somebody hunched over trying
to pull their pants up. That's and I was like, oh,
somebody was over served at a uper bar.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You know what it looked like to me forty plus
years here in the state of Missigan, never have I
seen a bear, But I've seen plenty of dudes on stretch,
those fans, and I.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Was like, should we help that guy? Chris is like,
what are you talking about? And then we pulled by
and it was a bear, just like doing like the
fast walk across.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I would die. I would die if I was ever
left in the wilderness unattended.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yes, you would.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I would go so fast.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
The six one six four or five eight one oh
five seven your wildest wildlife encounter.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
We got a.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Gator on the loose on Belleisle in Detroit. What have
you run into? And you were like, fascinating, but also.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I might die.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Honestly, I feel like you'd be one of those stories
of person gets lost in the woods, is there for
three days? Found by drone about one hundred yards away
from seven entire time.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Not even that far.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I'd be on the other side of a tree, and
I just didn't walk the whole way.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Schmitty is so salty.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Let's go time for our weekly event session here on
Stavo point seven from the one in only Schmitty which
went on over there today.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Well, I was talking about breaking the glass ceilings.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Right.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Women can do whatever men can do, but that doesn't
mean we always want to.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I mowed my very first lawn yesterday.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
No kidding, you have the you have the like you
have like a hardcore push one.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Too, right, I've got to push mo are. Yeah, I've
never never done it.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I grew up with like a dad and three brothers
and then that's like why I got married.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I can hear the ex I don't want to do.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
But we were like I was. I was trying to
be nice and I was like, Chris, I'm a MOULDI
lawn for you. I'm gonna shot.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Mult the leaves. Well he won't ever again.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
So uh the low Moore needed gasoline, so he went
and got the gas can.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Have you ever have you used one of those new ones?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
We're you gonna push a button and then set it
up right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
There, It makes it sound much easier than it is.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I struggled for twenty minutes and then had to call
Chris out to the garage because I'm like, I cannot
figure out how to get the gas out of this can.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
When was the last time you poured gas from a
can into anything?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Myself?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yes, it never, but about a year ago my car died,
so I did have Chris come.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Do that for me.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
But the fact that you've never poured gas it just
unscrewed it.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Like back in the day, but now it's like a
push a thing in push it down. It's got a
little absolutely absurd. So we finally got the gas in
the mower and I started to do it, and I
had my music going in my headphones and I'm having
a great time. I'm like, this is so easy, That's
what I feel. I got done, and Chris said, our
along looks like art deco.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It's so hard. It's so much harder to mow along
than I realized.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You've really turned this into I'm loving this abstract work
you're doing here, babe.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I got halfway through, I realized I'd miss huge patches,
so I posted it to my Instagram at Schmidt in
the Mitt and I know we only have a few
days left, but this is my our priest entry, so.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Salty, I'd like to submit this. Uh, this entry is called.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Effort Yeah QR code listed below.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Smoothies music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Well, Taylor Swift continues to give fans little peaks and
what we'll expect when the big album drops on Friday.
Life of a Showgirl proving this time and on Instagram
shared last night, she has her own toughest critic.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
All right, we are still rolling. We're gonna try this again. Okay,
We're elegant, we're luxurious. We're in front of the most
beautiful pink final we've ever seen. What is going on
with the posture? It's giving no girl, not show girl?
What are we doing? Elegance?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Charm?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Not that she's got catire all over her?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Is there a school we could very quickly send her to?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Come on, honey, this is show business.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yes, of course. Promoting that new pink vinyl that.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Will be available at Target. She has described this new
album as a love letter to Glitter and Life, don't
forget Battle of the Sexist Today. We'll get you hooked
up with tickets to our private theatrical screening on Saturday.
But new rumors say that the NFL actually did approach
Taylor Swift to do the Super Bowl halftime show, but
(19:45):
Swift's demands were not met. According to a music insider
reporting to Rob Shooter's substack, he's a huge sports reporter.
She wasn't asking for favors, she was asking for respect.
Taylor knows her worth, the kinds of ratings she brings
and the global attention she commands, and she was not
about to hand that over for free. If you're not aware,
(20:08):
musicians at the Super Bowl halftime show perform for no
monetary compensation. Their production costs or costs are always covered,
and the deal usually means tons of added streaming and
money going in your pocket for music. But for Taylor,
it wasn't it. She said, I don't need the exposure.
She wanted a deal that reflected her value, and that
just wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I heard that she also wanted the rights to her performance,
like as in the video rights to it.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I thought that was really shocked me. But I don't
know how you would ever. Yeah, considering it's Apple, it's
rock Nation. But yes, she said that was a huge
part of her reclaiming rights to the music. She wanted
to claim rights to everything that she is doing. This
is interesting and shocking, unbelievable. Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman
(20:58):
have broken up A'sortaly split after almost twenty years of marriage.
Now they have not officially filed for divorce, but I
thought this was an interesting part of the story. Keith
could pocket more than seventeen million dollars. The two have
a prenup and there is a clause tied to his sobriety.
(21:18):
So according to the agreement, it awards him nine hundred
grand for every year of marriage. However, it comes with
something called a cocaine clause. It states Urban is only
eligible for the money if he kept completely sober of
drugs and alcohol for their entire marriage, no excuses.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Wow, what a thing to be built into.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Your interesting so we will see. There was also talk
that this is a very one sided split. Nicole Kidman
has been working for months to save the marriage. Keith
is the one that wants to call it quits, and
he has actually moved out of the family home in
Nashville and bought a separate Nashville property just for himself.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It's interesting. I mean, they've been pretty private couple. Yeah,
it feels like this is kind of noisy, though. I'm
interested to see whether there's some stuff that comes out
of some dirt.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
And finally, the Simpsons are headed back to theaters, Disney
announcing yesterday an untitled Simpsons movie, a sequel to the first,
is set for a theatrical release in July of twenty
twenty seven. Plot details have not yet been shared, but
twentieth Century Studios confirmed the news with a picture of
(22:26):
Homer holding up a pink dohit that reads Homer's coming
back for seconds. This is really curious because the second
Simpsons movie is now taking the release date that Disney
had previously held for an untitled Marvel movie, So they
must be putting a lot of stuff into this. July
twenty third is what it's set for right now, twenty
twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I mean, I'm a lifelong Simpsons fan. I don't know
if I thought another movie was necessary, but act like
I'm not going to watch it.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Yeah, this past Sunday, By the way, premiered it's thirty
seventh season on Fox. All of your celebscoof at West
Michigan Star.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Doc up on four and seven. Let's do this one
for our swifties today. It is your chance to be
there for the official release party of A Show Girl
this weekend at AMC eighteen.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
This is the AMC on Alpine. We have got a
theater all to ourselves Saturday morning at ten am. The
only way to win your tickets is with Battle of
the Sexes. We're looking for today's number one answer. One
hundred women surveyed Name a creature that lives in a shell.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Ooh, you know what? I had some amazing oysters over
the weekend, Schmidty, and all I kept thinking to myself
is how are these little, tiny, ugly slimy things.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
So to listen, Yeah, we are all about this in
the Schmidti house because Will, my seven year old, is
currently learning about habitats.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
So he comes home every day and he goes, you

thank you. Yep. Gonna be a blast, and we'll hopefully
get you into it as well. Tomorrow, same time, eight
fifteen Here on Star one O five points, come on
into you. It's Mike and Schmitty and let's talk about binging,
(25:19):
specifically when you're supposed to hit pause for the person
you're binging a show with Schmitt. My wife and I
we had agreed to watch the show Adolescence, which is
with that young actor who won all of the Emmys
just a couple of weeks back.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Very intense storyline.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Very intense storyline. So we got into it right. We
watched the first couple episodes. It's only a four part series,
and so we watched the first couple of episodes and
it was really before the weekend. We had a super
busy weekend coming after it. And last night we're like, hey,
seven o'clock early on, let's sit down and pound out
these last two episodes so that we can complete the series.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
First question, how long are we talking for episode length?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
They are our long episodes. Okay, all right, but that's
why we started at seven am, because the goal was
let's finish the series. Let's wrap it up and be
done by nine o'clock. Right. My wife was asleep by
seven twenty two. Seven twenty two, Yeah, I was really
this is an intense series. I had been looking forward
to finding out how all of this stuff shook out
(26:22):
in the show all weekend long. It has been on
my mind. I did not hit pass. I watched both
remain two episodes. There was forty minutes, not quite thirty
plus left in the episode three, and then you're not
gonna watch the finale, the final episode. I mean she
had already missed a good portion of it. It wasn't
like I wanted to wait for that catch up. So
(26:44):
I watched it, and when she woke up as it
was time to put our kids to bed, I got
about two words in. There were two words from her
last night. After that you finished it? Yeah, that was
basically all I heard from my wife for the rest
of the night.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Last I'm throwing a flag. If it was on the weekend,
it was not.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It's a Monday, of all times, it's a Monday.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Oh it's a Monday night.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Okay, okay, I thought you said you says started watching
it at seven am.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
That would be crazy, But no, everybody online I asked
this on Facebook at West Michigan Star. Every single answer
from Shannon, from Mike, from Keith, from Ann, they would
all pause it. Yeah, they would all pause it for
their significant others. And now I feel bad because I
think that's ridiculous.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
No.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I mean, I have a wonderful husband who understands my schedule,
because I think that's very hard to be somebody who
bringes things together when you're on very opposite ends of
your sleep life. And he'll tell me, he'll be like,
keep going. It's like, I'm not gonna make it because
we want to watch a book of Guinness. Okay, if
you haven't seen the new Netflix series that's very much
like Peaky Blinders. But I'm like, dude, I'm gonna keep going.
If you aren't gonna do this, because I'm really stoked
(27:52):
to see It's like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
That's fine, that's fine. It all. He's like, I'll just
I'll watch while you're when you go to bed.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I just think that if I if I don't keep going,
there's a decent chance I never see the end to
this series. Because then we just played that game where
it's like, yeah, I don't really have two hours right now,
and then we'll start something else. It'll be gone forever.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
What if you just lie, I lie?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I will rewatch an episode through and be like, this
is brand new information, babe, I haven't seen any of this.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
This is marriage advice right here, all right. You don't
have to be a considerate person and hit pause. As
long as you're willing to be the one that will
lie to your significant other. We should get a sponsorship
from a divorce lawyer for conversations like these. I feel like,
let's do this, moving you through that Tuesday grind. It's
feeling good right now. In Stawino five point seven, what's
happening schmiddeing Well.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
I was talking about the bitter sweet part of offering
some sense of prayer and faith among unimaginable grief, And
for sixty four year old Dan Beasley, he does that
by carrying a massive cross to the places that need it.
He's originally from Northville, Michigan. He's been doing this for
the past five years, traveling all over the country. He's
(28:59):
been to Minneapoli, Les, Phoenix, Texas, most recently. He showed
up in Grand Blank yesterday telling the Free Press.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
I've been doing this for about four years now. I'm
not trying to be Jesus, because I know that that's
not who I am. I'm simply a lampstand holding the
light up and shining it over a dark sit in
darkst situation and whatever people perceive from that, whatever they feel.
And most of the time everywhere I take it, they
feel the sense of hope, healing and love, and it
starts the healing process for there I'm in their hearts.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
It's pretty phenomenal, carrying across to wherever and whoever needs it.
He had a lot more to say about this mission
and love he has spread, the loved that he has felt.
I've got it up at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
It's powerful though, for sure. All right, Smedy, this one
is discussing and amazing all at the same time. Because
I don't know if like you, when you were a kid,
When I was a kid, I would look through those
Guinness Book of World Records books, and one of my
favorite ones to see all the time was the World's
Longest Fingernails. Yeah, just absolutely, the astonishingly disgusting and vietname.
(30:02):
Vietnamese man who has not cut his fingernails in thirty
plus years just turned Aguinness World Record when they were
measured at a massive nineteen feet six inches long. Craig Glenday,
the editor in chief of Againness Book of World Records,
was on hand to actually be there in Hanoi, in
Vietnam making these measurements. Okay, so well, I've measured.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
We measured the nails twice to get an average. In total,
I've come to a measurement of two hundred and ninety
seven point two centimeters. We can confirm it officially Againness
robackas titles or congratulation.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, for those using the Imperial system, that equals nineteen
feet six inch was long. His longest nail, by the way,
is his left thumb, measuring in by itself at four
feet two inches. Pretty wild. He actually wanted to become
a shaman, and so he grew the nails to look
more majestic. His dad talked to him out of it.
The guy's actually an artist, but he says it gets
(31:03):
a little tough because he said, if they get wet,
they'll soften and fall right off. At a crowded place,
somebody bumps into them, they'll be broken for sure, so
I have to protect them. Furthermore, when working, I have
to be extremely careful climbing up and down scaffolding to
do my art. Every move has to be deliberate, deliberate,
and I mean really careful, all right, just kind of gross.
(31:24):
The longest fingernails ever, by the way, by a US woman,
Diana Armstrong, who's still rocking these nails that she started
growing in nineteen ninety seven. If you thought nineteen feet
six inches is insane, hers are forty two feet ten inches.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Schmidty exactly the feel good I needed this morning.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
But sure, sure, sir, feeling good always here to provide
some incredible story. Incredible could mean weird and crazy too, right.
We'll do it again 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
Wakem It gets my day going. It makes me lab
it Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one
oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Here we are. Last day of September is here, and
I am getting a steady stream with the same questions
they come in all year long. But it's a steady
stream of questions on our Facebook and Instagram right now. Smitty,
Oh yeah, when are we going to start the Christmas muse?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
You got a bit, guys, you got a bit. You can't.
Don't even talk to me right now.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Okay, I am in the throes of Spirit week because
it's Rockford's homecoming and we already messed up PJ Day yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Chris forgot about it, so Will was the only one
who showed up. Not in Pj's.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It's Denham Day today, So ask us how we're supposed
to make Jean's work when it's gonna be eighty two
degrees outside and.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Your son looks like justin Timberlake headed.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
To the MTV.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
You can't, I can't with the Christmas music just yet.
Get get me through, please?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Hi? Yeah, give us a couple days, you know, That's
all I'm saying. A couple more days here, guys. I'm
sure we'll get to those dudes as we go. Can't
do it yet. It's too nice out there. Another day
where we're going to see eighty degree tames come our way.
Stem's out there right now, by the way. The low
fifties mostly sunning today. Like I said, Hi today into
the low eighties. As week ere up, Just this beautiful
week here in West Michigan.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Major players in Hollywood continue to celebrate the big announcement
that your super Bowl halftime show this February is Puerto
Rican Bad Bunny ready to absolutely rocket in Santa Clara, California.
Jennifer Lopez celebrating the big announcement, of course, a super
Bowl halftime alum herself writing now it's your turn, Let's go. Shakiro,
(01:54):
who of course co headlined with j Low, writing, welcome
back to the super Bowl stage here, oh my Latin people,
even Jelly Roll writing from WrestleMania to the super Bowl,
you inspire us all much love and diplo joking, but
for real, can I get guest list? So it seems
like this is going to be a very big deal.
(02:14):
Most things still being kept under wrap, but I am
hearing rumors that we should expect at least a couple collaborations.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
During this show.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I thought about this a bit more yesterday because I
was a little thrown off by the bad Bunny pick
and I was like, you know what, you're getting the
biggest artists of the world. The NFL doesn't care about
NFL fans for the halftime show as much as they
care about the global event that is the super Bowl.
It's the most watched television event or televised event around
the world every year.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I'm more interested. I don't know if it's NFL. I
think it's Apple. Apple's like we love it on our stage,
and it's the biggest streamed artist.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Like everybody's going to be watching this online.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Speaking of the NFL, Taylor Swift may have been at
more games than we think. She has really been flying
under the radar this season, sneaking in stadiums to watch
fiance Travis Kelsey play. In fact, it was just confirmed
last night that she was in Kansas City on Sunday,
mere hours after attending Selena Gomez's wedding in Cali, she
(03:13):
private jetted over to the stadium, slipping in completely undetected
to Arrowhead to support her Man People magazine reporting that
it was actually Taylor's dad, Scott and her brother Austin
relaxing in one of those VIP suites at the stadium
with Travis's mom Donna. That kind of gave it away,
but Taylor was nowhere in sight, although she was at
(03:37):
the stadium. So now the swift teas are on this
like deep dive sleuthing. Is she not staying in the
VIP suites? Is she disguising herself and sitting in her crowd?
Like There's so many ways that she apparently is going
to try to keep things very very low key while
still supporting him this season, which I think is really fun.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Honestly, I would like to be her in disguise every
single game and then at the end of the game
share her disguise with the world.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well, I thought this is interesting because I just watched
an interview with Kevin Bacon actually, and he talked about
hiring literally hiring one of Hollywood's biggest special effects people
to put him in a disguise, and that's how he
sometimes goes shopping so that nobody knows it's Kevin Bacon.
So I this might be a thing you would have
no idea. It was Taylor literally sitting next to you
(04:25):
in seats at Arrowhead. That's wild. Finally, it was a
very interesting themed space birthday for Sydney Sweeney the Big
two p eight. She partied in La It's kind of
some of the costumes. She showed up in the sparkling
mini dress Britney spears War for her Circus album shoot.
If you remember that, Glenn Powell was there in a
(04:47):
full on NASA suit, and Sydney's rumored boyfriend, music producer
Scooter Braun showed up dressed as a Jedi. I'm just
suing it because honestly, the pictures are worth it. We've
got to go to West Michigan Star dot com with
all your scoop.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
He's telling a fine point showing good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmide always trying to make a little
bit better with feeling good right now, very lions heavy
this morning. It sounds like because this is pretty cool.
Ford Motor Company not missing an opportunity and some great
marketing for sure. All senator around our hometown kid who's
been tearing it up so far with our Detroit Lions,
(05:26):
of course, talking about Isaac Teslav from Hudsonville. And you
might have noticed before the Lions played the Browns this
weekend's well, Tesla rolled in in a brand new vehicle.
Because of course, anyone who's ever seen his name on
a jersey before but didn't know who Tesla was might
have heard Tesla a little bit more, you know, common
(05:48):
and known well. He rolled in rocket an electric Ford
f one fifty. That's right. Ford delivered the new vehicle
to Tesla over the weekend, then he drove it to
Ford Field ahead of the game against the stepping out
of a platinum addition Ford Lightning f one point fifty
wearing a T shirt that said Tesla drives a Ford.
(06:10):
Tesla said he just loves being a part of the
Lions and connected to be connected to Ford as a
dream come true, just saying I was thrilled when Ford
approached me. Growing up, I always dreamed of playing at
Ford Field, and now that I'm in the league, it
feels full circle. Obviously. Tesla having an incredible start to
the season with just two catches but to highlight reel
catches at that, a Ford spokesman saying Tesla's electric NFL
(06:34):
debut has got everybody's attention, even Ford. Now Ford's making
sure that despite his last name, Tesla's wheels are undeniably forward.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
All right, Aiden Hutchinson's family is on the hunt for
some very emotional fans. In fact, I think it's safe
to say after this moment during the Lions and Cleveland
game on Sunday, a lot of people were feeling that
way the moment Aiden Hutchinson went down.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Hutchinson was shaken up earlier last season.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Okay, so here's the moment that they panned over to
the crowd at Ford Field, and there were two gentlemen
gut wrenching. One took his glasses off and looked like
he was gonna start crying, the other one gripping.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
His stomach like say it isn't so you're not losing eight.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Nudgenson yet again obviously walked off the sideline doing fine.
But yesterday the House of hutch Social posted can someone
please help us find these highly concerned Hutchinson fans. This
is not a drill. We may or may not have
some comforting goodies for him. So now the internet is
(07:45):
on the hunt for these two guys. And I also
wanted to do the story because if you find yourself
at Ford Field, go ahead and overreact to anything happening
with eight Nudginson because him and his family are so
cool they do things like this.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Honestly, my stomach dropped out of my butt. Everybody stunt
like the so so thankful. There these all right feeling
good coming at you a couple times a day, not
just lions. We're here to share things from all over
the world. It'll pick you up and lift your spirits.
We'll do it again. And coming up this morning at
nine twenty.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I will admit I was stunned to see this news yesterday.
After almost twenty years of marriage, Nicole Kidman and Keith
Urban are separating. Multiple sources say the couple has actually
been living a part since the beginning of summer, where
told Nichole has been taking care of their two kids
and holding the family together through this difficult time since
(08:40):
Keith has been gone. As for why, sounds pretty one sided. Apparently,
Nicole did not want the separation has been trying and
trying for months to save the marriage. Keith has acquired
his own residence in Nashville and has actually moved out
of the family home, which is also in Nashville. As
(09:00):
for whether the couple plans to officially file for divorce,
there have not been court documents put in for that yet,
but they do share kids fourteen and seventeen.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I was stunned.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, honestly, this was a couple that had gone on
for so long. Now it's just those one of those
like safety blanket celebrity couples, right like Keith Urban Nicole Kidman.
They're going to do their thing.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
But I'm shocked, more shocked than it's actually out there
that only one of them wanted this divorce. Like, I'm
curious if we hear some more information about something furious
that may have gone down here. Actor Josh Hartnett hospitalized
when an suv he was riding in was struck by
a Canadian law enforcement officer. According to a report from
(09:44):
the CBC, the two vehicles are collided around one am
back on Thursday. Heartnett was on his way home after
a day of filming an untitled Netflix series. Heartnet was
the passenger. He was driven by an unidentified fifty nine
year old man. An officer in the patrol VA also hospitalized.
As a precaution, please say, both vehicles were significantly damaged
(10:05):
in the crash. They are seeking witnesses and videos related
to the case. This is some kind of Netflix Newfoundland series,
kind of untitled according to IMDb, but so far Josh's
rep has not spoken out about this.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Josh Hartnett has always fascinated me because he became this
like megastar right off the bat, I'm thinking of like
Pearl Harbor, and then around two thousand and five, two
thousand and seven, he just disappears for like fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah, he did Blackhawk Down and then was like done.
I'm obsessed with Josh Hartnett.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's really the story, you guys.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
And finally, if you, like myself, have kids that adore
the K pop demon Hunter's phenomenon, get this. The singing
voices behind Hunter Tricks will be performing together live for
the very first time.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
This is a week from tonight.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Remember I said maybe the kids could stay up late
because this will be on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
He made the announcement on his YouTube. So this is
ej Audrey, Nuna and Reami, the singing voices behind Hunterricks.
Of course, this is the Netflix blockbuster, most stream show
(11:19):
of all time. They hold multiple top ten hits on
the Billboard two hundred and it will be their first
ever live performance together. NBC really excited about this. You'll
be able to stream it the next day in case
the kids can't stay up for it. But this will
be a very, very big deal.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Jimmy should totally do his classroom and instrument bit with
those guys, for sure.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
It is second time I want to hear just them
for the first live performance. I've got some more details
on that. Jlo is going to be a guest on
the Tonight Show as well, so think about her join again.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Com po points seven. Good morning to you. It's Mack
and Schmidty And you know, if you were afraid to
jump into the.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Truck before, you definitely will be now.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I saw this story really start to get covered this morning.
The DNR said there have been a credible and consistent
amount of reports of an alligator on Bellisle, So they
started with Lynn Blacy.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
She lives in Hamtramck.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
She regularly visits Bellisle and she took some pictures last Friday.
Apparently she was walking around and like that, that really
looks like an alligator.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
But we live in Michigan.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
The DNR said they responded to the report and while
they couldn't make a visible confirmation, they geo located the
photo and they said, this is credible. This is consistent.
Be very cautious in the water. This is a report
from Channel seven in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The DNR says since the sighting was reported Friday, they've
been looking for the gator but haven't found it. So
if you spot it, don't approach it. The DNR is
working on next steps to get this gator to safety.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah, there's just an alligator roaming around with the no
big deal. The DNR had to come out with a
statement once again.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It's like guys. Releasing wild animals or pets into state
parks is prohibited and also super harmful not native species,
in disrupt local habitats and also pose serious risks to visitors.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
It's gonna say, when something brushes against your leg, I
feel like you'll be a little more nervous now.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I mean, I guess the good news. What water is
Belle Isle on? Is it Lake Saint Clair or is
it like because I'm not putting my foot in that
water anyway, So.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Listed I grew up spending my summers in Gross Point
with my grandparents.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I'm I'm good.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
That thing's probably not nibbling at my toes. But the
picture that they posted, this thing's like up on the rocks,
sunning itself. So it's not staying in the water. It's
like Belle Isle's nice, I'm gonna take a jaunt.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I mean, it's south of Lake Saint Clair. It's right
in the middle of the Detroit River, right, so you
weren't probably getting there was just a you know this
is We've got the alligator, but how about the crocodile.
There's just a crocodile found over in Hampton Township up
by the Thumb just last week, chilling out, shunning itself
by your old crab apple tree.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I thought this is perfect timing because as of an
hour ago, my neighborhood Facebook group is blowing up because
somebody had posted, Hey, I was just outside with my
dog at five fifty am, there's a pack of coyotes
moving between this street and this street, and I was like,
what it's happening. Remember a COVID when we were still
(14:30):
coming into work.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Oh the coyotes. Wh I started coming.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Coyotes, dear everything.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
They just took over downtown Grand Rapids when humans weren't
really around.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
It's it's happening, you guys, like, this is what I mean.
And I know people must have insane wildlife.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Encounter stories, you know, in terms of coyotes coming that
close to us was definitely pretty wild. I think for me,
craziest ever thing I ever saw right in front of
me was a bald eagle in a red tailed hawk
going to absolute war over like a two foot long Wow.
We're on a golf course and I'm not kidding. This
(15:07):
bird fight happened on the ground for a solid five
minutes as they were just pummeling each other. And I
have never been more captivated my entire life. Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Nature is incredible. I think I've shared the story. We
were in the up two summers ago and I saw
my first bear.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I'm so jealous.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I don't be because so jealous Honestly, it doesn't look
like it does on nat GEO. We were driving home.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It was late, it was into the evening, little after dusk,
and I honestly thought it was somebody hunched over trying
to pull their pants up. That's and I was like, oh,
somebody was over served at a uper bar.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You know what it looked like to me forty plus
years here in the state of Missigan, never have I
seen a bear, But I've seen plenty of dudes on stretch,
those fans, and I.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Was like, should we help that guy? Chris is like,
what are you talking about? And then we pulled by
and it was a bear, just like doing like the
fast walk across.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I would die. I would die if I was ever
left in the wilderness unattended.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yes, you would.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I would go so fast.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
The six one six four or five eight one oh
five seven your wildest wildlife encounter.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
We got a.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Gator on the loose on Belleisle in Detroit. What have
you run into? And you were like, fascinating, but also.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I might die.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Honestly, I feel like you'd be one of those stories
of person gets lost in the woods, is there for
three days? Found by drone about one hundred yards away
from seven entire time.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Not even that far.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I'd be on the other side of a tree, and
I just didn't walk the whole way.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Schmitty is so salty.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Let's go time for our weekly event session here on
Stavo point seven from the one in only Schmitty which
went on over there today.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Well, I was talking about breaking the glass ceilings.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Right.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Women can do whatever men can do, but that doesn't
mean we always want to.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I mowed my very first lawn yesterday.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
No kidding, you have the you have the like you
have like a hardcore push one.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Too, right, I've got to push mo are. Yeah, I've
never never done it.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I grew up with like a dad and three brothers
and then that's like why I got married.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I can hear the ex I don't want to do.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
But we were like I was. I was trying to
be nice and I was like, Chris, I'm a MOULDI
lawn for you. I'm gonna shot.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Mult the leaves. Well he won't ever again.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
So uh the low Moore needed gasoline, so he went
and got the gas can.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Have you ever have you used one of those new ones?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
We're you gonna push a button and then set it
up right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
There, It makes it sound much easier than it is.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I struggled for twenty minutes and then had to call
Chris out to the garage because I'm like, I cannot
figure out how to get the gas out of this can.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
When was the last time you poured gas from a
can into anything?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Myself?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yes, it never, but about a year ago my car died,
so I did have Chris come.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Do that for me.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
But the fact that you've never poured gas it just
unscrewed it.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Like back in the day, but now it's like a
push a thing in push it down. It's got a
little absolutely absurd. So we finally got the gas in
the mower and I started to do it, and I
had my music going in my headphones and I'm having
a great time. I'm like, this is so easy, That's
what I feel. I got done, and Chris said, our
along looks like art deco.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It's so hard. It's so much harder to mow along
than I realized.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You've really turned this into I'm loving this abstract work
you're doing here, babe.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I got halfway through, I realized I'd miss huge patches,
so I posted it to my Instagram at Schmidt in
the Mitt and I know we only have a few
days left, but this is my our priest entry, so.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Salty, I'd like to submit this. Uh, this entry is called.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Effort Yeah QR code listed below.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Smoothies music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Well, Taylor Swift continues to give fans little peaks and
what we'll expect when the big album drops on Friday.
Life of a Showgirl proving this time and on Instagram
shared last night, she has her own toughest critic.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
All right, we are still rolling. We're gonna try this again. Okay,
We're elegant, we're luxurious. We're in front of the most
beautiful pink final we've ever seen. What is going on
with the posture? It's giving no girl, not show girl?
What are we doing? Elegance?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Charm?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Not that she's got catire all over her?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Is there a school we could very quickly send her to?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Come on, honey, this is show business.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yes, of course. Promoting that new pink vinyl that.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Will be available at Target. She has described this new
album as a love letter to Glitter and Life, don't
forget Battle of the Sexist Today. We'll get you hooked
up with tickets to our private theatrical screening on Saturday.
But new rumors say that the NFL actually did approach
Taylor Swift to do the Super Bowl halftime show, but
(19:45):
Swift's demands were not met. According to a music insider
reporting to Rob Shooter's substack, he's a huge sports reporter.
She wasn't asking for favors, she was asking for respect.
Taylor knows her worth, the kinds of ratings she brings
and the global attention she commands, and she was not
about to hand that over for free. If you're not aware,
(20:08):
musicians at the Super Bowl halftime show perform for no
monetary compensation. Their production costs or costs are always covered,
and the deal usually means tons of added streaming and
money going in your pocket for music. But for Taylor,
it wasn't it. She said, I don't need the exposure.
She wanted a deal that reflected her value, and that
just wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I heard that she also wanted the rights to her performance,
like as in the video rights to it.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I thought that was really shocked me. But I don't
know how you would ever. Yeah, considering it's Apple, it's
rock Nation. But yes, she said that was a huge
part of her reclaiming rights to the music. She wanted
to claim rights to everything that she is doing. This
is interesting and shocking, unbelievable. Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman
(20:58):
have broken up A'sortaly split after almost twenty years of marriage.
Now they have not officially filed for divorce, but I
thought this was an interesting part of the story. Keith
could pocket more than seventeen million dollars. The two have
a prenup and there is a clause tied to his sobriety.
(21:18):
So according to the agreement, it awards him nine hundred
grand for every year of marriage. However, it comes with
something called a cocaine clause. It states Urban is only
eligible for the money if he kept completely sober of
drugs and alcohol for their entire marriage, no excuses.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Wow, what a thing to be built into.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Your interesting so we will see. There was also talk
that this is a very one sided split. Nicole Kidman
has been working for months to save the marriage. Keith
is the one that wants to call it quits, and
he has actually moved out of the family home in
Nashville and bought a separate Nashville property just for himself.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It's interesting. I mean, they've been pretty private couple. Yeah,
it feels like this is kind of noisy, though. I'm
interested to see whether there's some stuff that comes out
of some dirt.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
And finally, the Simpsons are headed back to theaters, Disney
announcing yesterday an untitled Simpsons movie, a sequel to the first,
is set for a theatrical release in July of twenty
twenty seven. Plot details have not yet been shared, but
twentieth Century Studios confirmed the news with a picture of
(22:26):
Homer holding up a pink dohit that reads Homer's coming
back for seconds. This is really curious because the second
Simpsons movie is now taking the release date that Disney
had previously held for an untitled Marvel movie, So they
must be putting a lot of stuff into this. July
twenty third is what it's set for right now, twenty
twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I mean, I'm a lifelong Simpsons fan. I don't know
if I thought another movie was necessary, but act like
I'm not going to watch it.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Yeah, this past Sunday, By the way, premiered it's thirty
seventh season on Fox. All of your celebscoof at West
Michigan Star.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
So to listen, Yeah, we are all about this in
the Schmidti house because Will, my seven year old, is
currently learning about habitats.

But how about we moved to the French delicacy of
s cargo. Have you ever had snails?
Speaker 5 (24:35):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
No, thank you?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
No me neither. Not interested in trying necessarily either, although
if somebody put it in front of me, I might

thank you. Yep. Gonna be a blast, and we'll hopefully
get you into it as well. Tomorrow, same time, eight
fifteen Here on Star one O five points, come on
into you. It's Mike and Schmitty and let's talk about binging,
(25:19):
specifically when you're supposed to hit pause for the person
you're binging a show with Schmitt. My wife and I
we had agreed to watch the show Adolescence, which is
with that young actor who won all of the Emmys
just a couple of weeks back.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Very intense storyline.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Very intense storyline. So we got into it right. We
watched the first couple episodes. It's only a four part series,
and so we watched the first couple of episodes and
it was really before the weekend. We had a super
busy weekend coming after it. And last night we're like, hey,
seven o'clock early on, let's sit down and pound out
these last two episodes so that we can complete the series.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
First question, how long are we talking for episode length?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
They are our long episodes. Okay, all right, but that's
why we started at seven am, because the goal was
let's finish the series. Let's wrap it up and be
done by nine o'clock. Right. My wife was asleep by
seven twenty two. Seven twenty two, Yeah, I was really
this is an intense series. I had been looking forward
to finding out how all of this stuff shook out
(26:22):
in the show all weekend long. It has been on
my mind. I did not hit pass. I watched both
remain two episodes. There was forty minutes, not quite thirty
plus left in the episode three, and then you're not
gonna watch the finale, the final episode. I mean she
had already missed a good portion of it. It wasn't
like I wanted to wait for that catch up. So
(26:44):
I watched it, and when she woke up as it
was time to put our kids to bed, I got
about two words in. There were two words from her
last night. After that you finished it? Yeah, that was
basically all I heard from my wife for the rest
of the night.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Last I'm throwing a flag. If it was on the weekend,
it was not.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It's a Monday, of all times, it's a Monday.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Oh it's a Monday night.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Okay, okay, I thought you said you says started watching
it at seven am.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
That would be crazy, But no, everybody online I asked
this on Facebook at West Michigan Star. Every single answer
from Shannon, from Mike, from Keith, from Ann, they would
all pause it. Yeah, they would all pause it for
their significant others. And now I feel bad because I
think that's ridiculous.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
No.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I mean, I have a wonderful husband who understands my schedule,
because I think that's very hard to be somebody who
bringes things together when you're on very opposite ends of
your sleep life. And he'll tell me, he'll be like,
keep going. It's like, I'm not gonna make it because
we want to watch a book of Guinness. Okay, if
you haven't seen the new Netflix series that's very much
like Peaky Blinders. But I'm like, dude, I'm gonna keep going.
If you aren't gonna do this, because I'm really stoked
(27:52):
to see It's like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
That's fine, that's fine. It all. He's like, I'll just
I'll watch while you're when you go to bed.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I just think that if I if I don't keep going,
there's a decent chance I never see the end to
this series. Because then we just played that game where
it's like, yeah, I don't really have two hours right now,
and then we'll start something else. It'll be gone forever.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
What if you just lie, I lie?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I will rewatch an episode through and be like, this
is brand new information, babe, I haven't seen any of this.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
This is marriage advice right here, all right. You don't
have to be a considerate person and hit pause. As
long as you're willing to be the one that will
lie to your significant other. We should get a sponsorship
from a divorce lawyer for conversations like these. I feel like,
let's do this, moving you through that Tuesday grind. It's
feeling good right now. In Stawino five point seven, what's
happening schmiddeing Well.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
I was talking about the bitter sweet part of offering
some sense of prayer and faith among unimaginable grief, And
for sixty four year old Dan Beasley, he does that
by carrying a massive cross to the places that need it.
He's originally from Northville, Michigan. He's been doing this for
the past five years, traveling all over the country. He's
(28:59):
been to Minneapoli, Les, Phoenix, Texas, most recently. He showed
up in Grand Blank yesterday telling the Free Press.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
I've been doing this for about four years now. I'm
not trying to be Jesus, because I know that that's
not who I am. I'm simply a lampstand holding the
light up and shining it over a dark sit in
darkst situation and whatever people perceive from that, whatever they feel.
And most of the time everywhere I take it, they
feel the sense of hope, healing and love, and it
starts the healing process for there I'm in their hearts.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
It's pretty phenomenal, carrying across to wherever and whoever needs it.
He had a lot more to say about this mission
and love he has spread, the loved that he has felt.
I've got it up at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
It's powerful though, for sure. All right, Smedy, this one
is discussing and amazing all at the same time. Because
I don't know if like you, when you were a kid,
When I was a kid, I would look through those
Guinness Book of World Records books, and one of my
favorite ones to see all the time was the World's
Longest Fingernails. Yeah, just absolutely, the astonishingly disgusting and vietname.
(30:02):
Vietnamese man who has not cut his fingernails in thirty
plus years just turned Aguinness World Record when they were
measured at a massive nineteen feet six inches long. Craig Glenday,
the editor in chief of Againness Book of World Records,
was on hand to actually be there in Hanoi, in
Vietnam making these measurements. Okay, so well, I've measured.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
We measured the nails twice to get an average. In total,
I've come to a measurement of two hundred and ninety
seven point two centimeters. We can confirm it officially Againness
robackas titles or congratulation.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, for those using the Imperial system, that equals nineteen
feet six inch was long. His longest nail, by the way,
is his left thumb, measuring in by itself at four
feet two inches. Pretty wild. He actually wanted to become
a shaman, and so he grew the nails to look
more majestic. His dad talked to him out of it.
The guy's actually an artist, but he says it gets
(31:03):
a little tough because he said, if they get wet,
they'll soften and fall right off. At a crowded place,
somebody bumps into them, they'll be broken for sure, so
I have to protect them. Furthermore, when working, I have
to be extremely careful climbing up and down scaffolding to
do my art. Every move has to be deliberate, deliberate,
and I mean really careful, all right, just kind of gross.
(31:24):
The longest fingernails ever, by the way, by a US woman,
Diana Armstrong, who's still rocking these nails that she started
growing in nineteen ninety seven. If you thought nineteen feet
six inches is insane, hers are forty two feet ten inches.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Schmidty exactly the feel good I needed this morning.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
But sure, sure, sir, feeling good always here to provide
some incredible story. Incredible could mean weird and crazy too, right.
We'll do it again 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

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
