to get away, to get totheir secret spose one more time, the
day before rifle season fully begins.I'm just telling you, I mean,

(00:20):
I'm not sure if we've got somedeer listening right now outside of like sales

like a nature center or some kindof protected ecosystem. If you've ever been
to Huff Park, there's like thirtyof them living in there. You've got
nothing to worry about. But yeah, tomorrow's going to come as a shocking
Do you think it's shocking though thestories we've had lately, Like if you

(00:43):
were listening to headlines yesterday and Ihad that buck that broke into a Lauinger
ray store in Lansing. I thinkthey know it's coming. They're very aware
of the sun setting earlier, andthey see a lot of that orange.
They see some people getting ready andstaking out their blinds. I think they
know what's up. I think Iwish it were so specific Shmidy that on
days like today, they're just sortof like laughing. They see some people

(01:06):
walking through the woods and they're like, hey, look at me, get
out here. You No, they'rethe ones that will immediately get hit by
a car on one ninety six,you'll be a hunter and nansi a single

(01:27):
all the gossip in one place.It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five
point seven. Well, fans arepointing out it definitely seems like trouble in
paradise for Kanye West and wife BiancaCensori. Remember the two wed any private
ceremony back in December of last year, and over the weekend it was the
first time Bianca returned home to hernative Australia, but without Kanye. Apparently,

(01:53):
Beyanca had a very quiet entry intothe country, where she was allegedly
confronted by her worried friend in anintervention that sources are saying was successful.
Apparently that included very close friends ofhers, both of her sisters that raised
concerns about her relationship with Kanye,they're now confident she is very aware of

(02:13):
his controlling ways. After being toldto wake up, they were seen around
town as late as last night,and she looks very, very happy again
with all the people surrounding her,saying, I think it's time for you
to rethink this and end it.Yeah, it's not a good sign when
people look at your relationship like it'sStockholm syndrome, right like that, And

(02:34):
she rocks different, like, shelooks happier and Healthish's not wearing as much
of that insane kind of wardrobe wesaw throughout Italy. She looks like a
different person. King Charles the Thirdcelebrates his seventy fifth birthday today, but
Prince Harry will not be traveling toLondon, where his father is holding just
a small celebratory gathering at Clarence Housethis evening. For most of today,

(02:59):
HiT's to be a working day ashe is officially launching the Coronation Food Project,
which aims to bridge the gap betweenfood waste and food need. Now,
Harry has said that he is goingto be placing a phone call to
his father to wish him a happybirthday, but there have still been a
lot of war of words, includinga BBC story that said Harry had no

(03:22):
desire to speak to his father onhis big day and has still not had
very many words with his brother William. Yeah, seventy five years old.
You got grandkids. Got to mendthat stuff. Thank Yeah. And here's
some big news from Gwyneth Paltrow.Do you know her health and beauty line
Goop is coming to Target. Yeah. The new line is called Good Clean

(03:43):
Goop. It'll be sold at bothTarget and Amazon, and unlike all of
those crazy prices we've seen, thiswill be everything under forty bucks. She
shared the news on her Instagram yesterday, writing I would love to meet up
with you in Target at some pointand introduce you to our incredible new line
of beauty and wellness. You knowwhat I hear is Gwyneth Paltrow achieving billionaire

(04:05):
status any second? Now? Right? I mean we all go to Target.
We don't know what we want.We let Target tell us what we
want. And now it's going tobe telling us to get Goop products.
Got all your scoop at West MichiganStar dot com. It's no good Schmidty
when you're excited to see somebody thatyou think you really really enjoy and then
you go to see them live andit's a total letdown, and it happens

(04:28):
so often. I could not believe, though, who it happened to this
weekend, because I just assumed that, you know, you would revere the
person so much that'd be no wayyou could be disappointed in them. But
we went to a great show thisweekend in Chicago, Schmidty. It was
Jim Gaffigan, awesome comedian and JerrySeinfeld. And I went with my brother

(04:54):
and my sister in law and everybodywas super jack for the show. And
my sister in law is aim massiveSeinfeld fan, love the show. Grew
up with that scene every episode.You know, quotes the show all the
time. I love coffees in carswith celebrities his Netflix show. Yeah,
she did not like Jerry Seinfeld's.She did not like Jerry very much at

(05:15):
all. First off, I willsay I've seen him a couple of times,
and he does he he likes toyell. He yells a lot.
It is a lot of what's thedeal? It is on top on my
ear. I'm shouting yeah that hecomes and he's got that kind of voice
like that, and it just youknow, when you get it in small
doses and a television show not reallynoticeable, when you get an hour of

(05:39):
it straight coming at you, ithits a little different. Comedians are so
so challenging if they have a show, because a lot of times you either
love the stand up or you lovethe show. It's very rare that I
have friends that love both, becausethey can be so different. I had
this problem with Chelsea Handler. Okay, I loved her books, have all

(06:00):
of them. I've read all ofthem. I wasn't a I didn't watch
a whole ton of her TV show, but I saw her stand up.
I was so wildly disappointed because itwas so different from her books. It
hurts, right, I just Ithought it'd be a similar kind of sarcasm
and material that she was talking about. And yeah, I barely made it
to the end. I almost thoughtabout leaving early. Have you had it
happen with musicians before? Not thatI can think of, Because my dad,

(06:25):
I know that he will tell meevery time that the man gets brought
up. My dad was a hugeand is a huge Bob Dylan fan.
But saw Bob within the last decadehere and was like, it's just too
much. That's interesting. I justfound a Reddit thread about the most disappointing
acts. Number one on the listis Bob Dylan. Yeah, yeah,
you know what. I even gotCOVID from Justin Bieber and I still thought

(06:45):
the show was fantastic. So I'venever had a musician let me down.
You know, virus is made letdown. No, he killed it,
he killed it. I mean,do it again, do it again,
real conditions. Yeah, we hadthis going on Facebook and people blew some
big names up. Lionel Richies onthis list, broon five Stick's Journey.

(07:09):
I don't know anybody who has seenJourney that was like I just stand along
the whole time, and I wouldthink, like, I'm disappointed to hear
Sticks. I've seen Sticks twice andthey were phenomenal. Uh. Yeah,
there was a lot of There wasa few Bob Dylan's on here. Madonna
Madonna is one we have heard thatquite possibly. I think it just depends
on how late she is for thestart of the show. I think you

(07:30):
got to catch her in a goodmoment, like between tours. I's want
to see Madonna like a street cornertype of deal. Who was the artist
that lets you down six one six, four, five eighths one five seven
if you had one like that?Still can't believe my sister in law just
bespirches the name of the great JerrySeinfeldt. It's the yelling, I'm sorry,

(07:53):
Jerr. It's the yelling. Youdon't like this sound coming at you
for an hour in a room sometime, douse, I get a good feeling.
Yeah, let's jumping shign some positivityto start this day. It's feeling
good on starleto five points seven.Macka smiddy with you. And maybe the
best catch this weekend wasn't on afootball field. Maybe it was in a

(08:15):
neighborhood in Detroit's where chantessha Young saidshe was just in the right place at
the right time, and boy wasshe A fire had broken out at a
neighbor's home at about nine thirty onSaturday in a family of seven lived inside.
She told WDV in Detroit, Ijust heard a loud noise and screaming,
ran outside and saw kids on theground and they were hanging out the

(08:37):
window. She said she just lookedup and saw a frantic mother in desperate
need of help, shouting. Sherecounted that just harrowing scene. She threw
out another kid, the fourth kid, and then she just started screaming,
my baby, my baby, AndI saw the little infant like three months
old, so I'll just grab them. Yeah. I was just at the

(08:58):
right place at the right times.Glad I was here. Yeah, right
place, at the right time.She ran over there and managed to grab
the baby by the foot as shewas talking to nine to one one,
she one handed caught this three monthold baby. Unbelievable while she's talking to
dispatchers. Like she said, rightplace, right time. The mother as

(09:20):
well as all of the children whoare in the home, the five kids
in the home all doing well andare going to be fine. The fire
is under investigation and authorities of course. Crazy Chantasha for her bravery and just
being, like she said, inthe right place at the right time.
Goodness. A Downriver nonprofit is workingto build tiny homes for homeless veterans.

(09:41):
A nonprofit in Wye dot working onthis. It's called down River for Veterans.
The nonprofit established back in twenty seventeen. The organization helps that's secure housing,
clothing, food, and more,but lately they realized this big issue
here is living and finding places tolive. Over the last eight years,

(10:03):
the organization founder excuse me and Rutsicil, has given away one point five million
dollars worth of goods to veterans,including more than forty cars, even fifteen
sets of brand new teeth. Butshe said housing is the issue that is
really plaguing the veteran community, andso they're deciding to do something a little

(10:24):
different and pretty revolutionary. She isstepping up to build a tiny village community
for veterans to find affordable housing.They have officially found land for this in
Pinkney thanks to a beautiful donor.The tiny home village will have veterans services,
a doctor's facility, living spaces,a library, sporting equipment and dozens

(10:48):
of tiny homes. Now they're goingto start out with building two different villages,
but they hope that more is onthe way. Talking to WXYZ,
Rudisicil says, this is a dreamin the making, the dream a seven
year dream. These are happy tears. Now, what happened if we ran
out of money and a veteran calledme and said I can't pay my rent?

(11:09):
What am I gonna tell them.Now, I can tell them we're
gonna have a village and you'll beable to afford four hundred and fifty dollars
a month and it'll be yours andyou could be proud again. That is
a passionate woman. If you wantto find out more, and of course
always looking for donations, find downRiver for veterans over into Trent. You

(11:31):
know they talk about expanding the veteranscommunities that are out there. This is
literally a full blown veteran community anddone by a civilian. Yeah, let's
talk about that. No, justincredible, feeling good. Always want to
point out those people who are doingso much good in our world. And
we'll do it again for you thismorning, nine twenty here on Star win
oh five point seven, movies,music and all the gossip in one place.

(11:54):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star oneoh five point seven. Man,
I gotta say this is another stampof approval in my opinion. Mama Donna
Kelcey aka Travis Kelcey's mom spotted intheaters Sunday night watching none other than Taylor
Swift's Eras Tour movie. Now weonly figured this out because of Swifty Danielle

(12:16):
Sparks, her TikTok has gone viral. She said it was her fourth time
checking out the concert movie, butwhen she stepped out of the Florida movie
theater, she spotted someone that lookedvery familiar. I was like, oh
my gosh, because anyone ever toldher she lived just like Travis Kelcey's mother.
And she was like, oh really, huh. And I was like,
okay, cool. So I'm walkingout at the restroom at the theater

(12:39):
and then she was like, oh, yeah, I am, but I'm
just said mom. I said Kelsey'smother in our random little theater here in
Florida. Clearly super excited, shechatted up with her for a little bit.

(13:01):
She said nobody else had any ideawho she was. She called Donna
the sweetest human ever. I said. She did offer her a friendship bracelet,
but Donna politely declined because she alreadyhas too many she doesn't know what
to do with them. It's gonnasay, I'm pretty sure, by the
way, Donna, you don't needto go to the movie, you know,
I think anywhere you want to goin the world one. She's just

(13:22):
a regular mom. I love thatit is the end of the road for
Chris Appleton and Lucas Gage's whirldwind marriage. Now you might not recognize those names.
This is Kim Kardashian's hairstylist, andthis was a big deal back in
April when she jetted with them toVegas. She acted as the officiant.
It listed just three or six months. Appleton blined it to court yesterday,

(13:46):
listing the couple's date of separation aslast Friday, citing irreconcilable differences. The
couple does have a prenup in place, but it's very interesting, like they're
tight with and Aya Twain, They'vegot a bunch of celeb friends, and
there is rumor that Kim wasn't ahuge fan of this and actually warned him

(14:09):
before getting married that this might notbe a good idea. Well, and
she's still got bragging rights because she'sgot that one marriage to Chris Humphries that
lasted all of seventy two days.Yeah, that's one was longer than that.
Finally, Adele looks like she's notjust going to be doing her singing
and Vegas residency, but launching herselfinto business. This is very interesting.
The thirty five year old filed paperworkto create a new company called the Shelbourne

(14:33):
Collective Limited. Now this private company'sregistered address is in London. Adella is
listed as the only director. TheMirror reporting it is going to be a
cosmetics line. Adela is hoping tosell makeup products to let her fans recreate
that iconic winged eyeliner. Look.Okay, schmiddy, you're the target audience

(14:54):
here, gide buy everything that Adelesold the Shellborne. You're ready to rock
the Shellbourne. Actually, like,I love cosmetics. I would love for
her to drop like a line ofwine, especially with that being I mean,
she just talked over the weekend howher Vagas residency is ending, as
is her sobriety hiatus. She's like, yeah, it's the holidays. I'm
gonna have a few drinks. I'dpersonally love it if she came out with
cute Adele themed wine. I've gotall your scoop for you, West Michigan

(15:16):
Star dot Com packagemitty with you,and the Christmas is come early. It's
your Yeah, gifts have lined upon the porch sooner than expected. So
if you missed our conversation last week, my husband Chris ordered a two hundred
and fifty sleeve DVD case, probablytelling yourself, yeah, like the one

(15:37):
I bought in two thousand and one, exactly exactly that. So here's the
deal. He is going up todear Camp tomorrow, which is in the
up, and they have a TVin their family cabin. I say cabin
loosely. It's a shack that justgot electricity six years ago, and so
they don't have a lot of TV. They have like three channels, and
it's always a battle about like whatto watch when you're just you know,

(15:58):
shooting the time or whatever. Sohe came up with this idea to dig
our DVDVCR player out of storage becauseI still have one, and said,
this is perfect. I'm going toline up with a bunch of movies.
His brother's got a bunch of movies, his uncle's bringing up some stuff.
So he was looking online last weekfor a bunch of good DVD deals because
apparently there are still some. ButI'm interested to know if you think he

(16:22):
actually got deals on this, becausewhat showed up on the porch yesterday was
wildly fascinating to me. So we'llstart. He ordered a six movie Jason
Statham set Okay, which came withCrank one and Crank two and Transporter Threek
not Transporter one and two. No, no, you better already have seen
those, because you only get thethird of this trilogy. I'll be honest

(16:45):
with you, I don't know ifthose movies are so story intensive Schmidty that
he's not gonna know what's going on. I'm just saying, looking, he's
like unboxing this in front of me, and I'm like interesting. He then
got a ten Western pack has acouple of Clint Eastwoods. I didn't recognize
a single one of the others.Hopefully hopefully Unforgivens in there. If he's

(17:07):
got oh no, no, no, no, no, this is all.
This is the Clint Eastwood you probablywouldn't think about. I'm understanding why
he's getting such a deal. Buthe was so excited about that and knew
that his cousin up North loves westerns. He ordered another what they call six
pack Western Classics. What do youthink would be in a six pack of
Western Classics? Maybe some John Waynemovies, six Gene Hackman movies. Heyes,

(17:36):
too, have a lot of JeanHackman. You know, gets is
you know what would make me laughas if it was five Gene Hackman Westerns
and then Hoosiers. Yeah, thisis this classic. Uh he found a
three film Godzilla set. Well,you can't just have one all in the
original language that is not subtitled ordubbed over he gets to see Mathra Fight.

(18:02):
Just yeah, I'm just thinking aboutyour five year old son and what
the heck is he gonna watch?Because I'm good for him and I'm looking
and I'm still pretty unimpressed. Andhe goes, don't worry, babe,
I save the best one for last. I got all three of the die
Hard movies on one dish. Itwas all worth it. Then you had,
I mean, think about all theChristmas joy. He's going to get
out of die Hard one only tobe able to watch John McClain two more

(18:26):
times. Sis, I'm sitting theregoing, what is my five year old
going to watch Crank two? Andso now he's got to go through and
like download a bunch of stuff toWill's tablet for the entire six days that
they're going to be up there.I don't know. Maybe Will should just
get in to die Hard now,Maybe that should be a bonding experience up

(18:47):
there, and that way, youknow he can get there, they could
be ready to shoot their first deertogether his father and son and Will can
look over at him and go yippiekaye dad. Well, I just I
want to know what sight he wasshopping, because I'm pretty sure it's one
of those that has definitely like stolenour information and selling it somewhere on the
dark web. Tell me he gotconsidering the packages that showed up, tell

(19:11):
me he got like twenty DVDs fortwenty dollars. Tell me he did.
Yeah, he was so excited.He was like some He's like, babe,
it's not even a dollar a DVD. The Diehard was only four dollars.
And I said, but you onlygot three movies. You go,
that's a good point. Well,the Gene Hackman six were only five.
I mean, I feel so badfor whoever is stuck at deer camp with
him this weekend. But you're gonnahave so many great movies as long as

(19:33):
you've seen the first two of them, all right, job, Bruce willis
higher value than Gene Hackman if we'realready as Yeah, that's where it's at.
Oh, is that like when yourcareer has hit rock bottom. If
you're Gene Hackman listening right now andfound out they sold six of your movies
for five bucks, are you feelingbad about yourself? A little? Really?

(19:56):
So? Sulky and I said it. If you've ever had an mistaken
miss said, you will be sofrustrated about this because it's like, how
so my name is Schmitty and itis s h M I T t Y,
And I can't fully explain it toyou. It was given to me
sixteen years ago when I started inmorning radio and in his stock. But

(20:19):
it is s h I T tY, not sh. I'm not a
Schmidt. That is not my lastname. That has nothing to do with
my name. It is sh So. I did an event over the weekend.
I'm not going to name where itwas, but every single piece of
printed material had me listed as Schmittysch which is frustrating because they were on

(20:42):
every single email that has my properlyspelled name in the email signature. I
don't know how you do it becauseI in just the You know, you've
been dealing with this for over adecade. I've only been dealing with it
for about five years, and itwas probably about three and a half years
ago where I started to take offenseto it too, because we have people
who have worked with you, yeahforever who say your name wrong, yes,

(21:07):
who say smitty yep. And itdrives me bonkers because I'm like,
I don't know how you can dothis. You hear people refer to her
a name every day, you sitin a room with people who call her
by her correct name constantly. Now, yet somehow, some way, your
brain still allows you to say smittyevery single time her name comes out of

(21:30):
it. And I realized, that'sthe normal name, that's the normal name.
But the thing is, when theywanted to call me smitty, I
grew up with three brothers. That'swhat all of their friends called them.
So I was like, well,can we come up with a different nickname.
Somehow my host at the time stuckan H in there, and that's
what's stuck. But it's sh It'snot sh. And then I have so

(21:51):
many people that will try to findme on social media as like Lauren Schmidt
because they think that is my name. It's just I get it. It
can be challenging, but when it'sright in front of you written down,
come on, I always tell peoplethis is bad smitty. But I always
tell people when they're like, well, what is it? And I'm like,
well, think of the think ofthe swear word that is a descriptor

(22:11):
with an M, but with anM instead of saying that, you say
schmitty. It's really not any different. And maybe do I just put a
poo emoji in my signature line fromhere on out because that is how it
is spelled, schmitty, Thank you, schmitty, so stalky. Well,
at least they have your name spelledright down in the parking garage where your
parking spot is, because I can'teven make that claim. I don't think

(22:33):
they do. They don't. Idon't think they do. That's a good
point. You have worked here forsixteen years. I'm are going to six.
Neither one of us have our namescorrectly spelled in the place we park
every single day. Love it hereso good, smoothes music and all the
gossip in one place. It's thecelebrity scoop on Star one oh five point

(22:55):
seven. Well, we all knowswifties, especially that Taylor is quite fond
of drap being those little cryptic cluesinto her work for fans. And once
again, Swifties thinks they found onein her Instagram post from last night's We
Have Two. Has just finished threedates in Argentina, is set to resume
her Erra's tour this weekend, startingoff in that South American leg, and

(23:15):
she posted as a thank you tofans yesterday, I can't even express my
gratitude to the Buenos Aires crowds.I'd never been to Argentina before and they
gave us the most electric, magicalmemories. Did you catch the cryptoclue?
Is it electric? Oh? Well, I mean that just happens to be
Travis Kelsey's favorite word too. TheSwifties went wild online last night, pointing

(23:38):
out the fact that Travis often usesthe word electric to describe a good time.
For instance, in his recent SaturdayNight Live appearance alongside Taylor, he
said, Wow, it was electricto be back at that place. And
then when he talked about first seeingTaylor at Arrowhead Stadium when he was playing
for the Chiefs, he said,everybody in the sweet loved her. She

(24:00):
was absolutely electric. So I guesswe can't use electric anymore without thinking of
Taylor's love life. Does this actuallybother you from a you know how this
works, where somebody gets into anew relationship Smidi, and then they slowly
sort of morph into the person they'redating, like all of a sudden,
they have way a ton of similaritiesand talk the same and they start dressing

(24:23):
a little similar and the next thingyou know, you lost your best friend.
I mean, if I start seeingmore of a sequence, look on
Travis before his games, I'll knowwe've hit a new level. Fair Jason
Sedakis in an incredible ted Lasso reunion. This was part of Thundergong. It's
a benefit concert held by Sudacus raisingfunds for uninsured and underinsured amputees. And

(24:48):
who joined him on stage his Tedlassoco star Hannah Wattingham. Forget this,
a star is born, shallow duet. Listen to them together, gotcha sun?
My goodness? All a shower,a shower show, the show.

(25:19):
Oh up, No matter what he'sdoing, but it sounds so incredible.
Hannah was not expected to be there. The screams you heard there was when
Jason came back out on stage,But originally he was up there with Will
Forte, who was part of thisas well, and he said, there's
no one else I'd rather do thissong with Hannah comes out on stage and
people absolutely lose their minds. It'sreally good when you listen to the entire

(25:41):
thing. Thunder gong. Tell methere's a big gong here that gets people
off the stage. If it's notgoing that way, it has to be
missed opportunity otherwise. And in bigQueer Eye news, Netflix announced yesterday that
season eight is coming our way Januarytwenty. It will take place in New
Orleans, and Netflix is already renewedQueer Eye for a season nine in Vegas.

(26:07):
But it comes with sad news.Queer I co host Bobby Burke,
designer Extraordinary, announced to fans hewill be exiting the show after the upcoming
season eight. He wrote on Instait's with a heavy heart I announced that
season eight will be my final seasonon Queer Eye. It's not been an
easy decision to be at peace with, but a necessary one. Although my

(26:29):
journey with Queer Eye is over,my journey with you is not. You
will be seeing more of me verysoon. Okay, season eight to nine,
did they take a long hiatus foryou know, for a while,
because I feel like those guys shouldbe on like season twenty or something that
shows about however, you had theCOVID issue where they actually had to stop
filming halfway through and then that putthem like show I want to say,
almost two years behind. So butreally sad to say good bye to Bobby.

Their top answer was, But Iwould say the temperature. You would say

(28:26):
the temperature. I mean living inWest Michigan. Another thing that goes up
and down is a yo yo.And I would totally describe our West Michigan
weather as a yogo because that's allI do. I mean, we go
from eighty to forty, back upto sixty five, down to thirty.
I mean that is just our lives, especially this time of the year.

(28:47):
And apparently they must have surveyed womenin the Midwest because thermometer temperature was the
top answer. Honestly, I didn'tthink. I thought I was gonna have
to start dropping hints for this one, and instead you got it in the
first try. Well done. Icouldn't think of anything else. That's the
reason. Well, there's a tonof stuff. I thought people were immediately
going to gravitory toy, gravitate towardseither elevator, which was the number four

(29:10):
answer list, or how about thesun god stilly going on pod, but
that didn't even that didn't even makethe list. It was a thermometer temperature,
followed by airplane, then seesaw,then elevator, and then finally yo
yo, rounding out the top fiveanswers. So well done. You're going

The lights and heights look incredible.So if you have not yet gotten to

(30:15):
that is an open air bridge betweentwo of Boyne's peaks. Well, they've
announced yesterday and given a sneak peekat what it will look like when it
is outfitted with more than one hundredand fifty thousand twinkling lights. They're calling
this an enveloping light show. Lightswill be strung along the sides of the
Skybridge as well as arching over thetop of it. This is unbelievable.

(30:59):
place to be. People are alreadyposting that this could be like the Christmas
light Mecca, of the Midwest.It is going to look so incredibly cool.
You know, I already thought thatthat looks so stunning, whether you

bridge. Now to do it inthe winter with nothing beats the Christmas lights
when you see these pictures, whichI'll post up for you on our Instagram.
Like I said, if you wantto get that sneak peek, it's
going to be very very cool.Smitty. You know, we're all about

(31:22):
spreading that kindness here every day withfeeling good. But that's what some middle
school students wanted to do down inKentucky at Boorant Middle School. There,
they've created a telephone hotline called thekind Line Schmitty. This is really cool.
It's all to spread some positivity andkindness and it started by a group
of four students with the support oftheir guidance counselors that aim to help middle
schoolers out because, as Emma Collinswere a told News Nation, it's just

(31:47):
kind of a tricky time in lifewhere she noticed people weren't really connecting.
And we noticed that people weren't reallyconnected because middle school is kind of a
big. There's people from all overthe place and people you don't know,
so we thought that maybe the kindLine could maybe connect some more people and

(32:09):
they then feel a part of thelaunch. It's pretty sweet. The hotline
features a bunch of pre recorded messageswith inspirational quotes jokes on there. It's
updated three times a week just tobrighten the day of students when they give
it a call and the boat RantMiddle School principal Enoch Weltch just says that
the kind Line not only giving thoseuplifting messages, but it serves as a
gateway for additional support if any ofthe students need those, because those options

(32:32):
to talk to someone are also includedin the line, which I just think
is a great idea for kids thatage. I love. There's so many
schools doing this now. It iscaught on and is great. The kind
Line very cool and doing what we'redoing, trying to make people feel a
little bit better each and every day. We'll do it again free tomorrow,
