(00:02):
Wakem It gets my day going.It makes me lab of it. Mac
and Schmidty in the morning on Starone oh five point seven, Good morning,
Good morning, Welcome into this wet, warm Wednesday. But man o
rain around West Michigan. High's todaygonna be up into the upper sixties.

(00:26):
I don't know if we're gonna touchseventy again. We want to hit seventy
again. I don't think I thinkwe're done with seventies. I think thank
everybody everybody got it hopefully out oftheir system yesterday, because I don't think
we're going that high again for therest of the year. High sixties though.
Today it is going to be warmerout there, as we're in the
load of mid sixties with some rainaround West Michigan right now. It's gonna
be what we see a lot oftoday though, But woo, Schmitty.

(00:47):
I will take late October days withtemps and sunshine like what we had yesterday.
I know, and I was feelingvery like I should have done more
or spent more time outside. Wejust hit such an insanely busy day and
I had so many meetings, andthen I was like, I'm not worried.
I'm about to be in eighty fivedegrees in one week. I got
a big old trip coming up aweek from tomorrow, and we're gonna talk

(01:08):
about this coming up at seven tenthis morning, because of course, and
I rarely travel ever since I hadkids. Of course, as soon as
this trip would come up, themost insane flying stories I've ever heard have
all popped up in the last likefour days. So we're gonna talk about
some fear of flying later on thismorning. You know, I hadn't seen

(01:30):
these articles until you brought it upyesterday when you told me about, uh,
is it like phony parts? Likeparts of the phony plain parts.
We had a jet blue situation,we had someone on mushrooms like it's It's
a lot to unpack and I'm hopingI'm not alone in this movies, music
and all the gossip in one place. It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh

(01:53):
five point seven. Well. RichardRountree, famous for playing the lead role
in Shaft back in the late setDS, has passed away after a battle
with cancer. It was announced theactor died Monday as a result of pancreatic
cancer. This is, according tohis manager, diagnosed just two months ago.
His family was with him when hepassed away at his home in La

(02:14):
Lots of Hollywood paying tribute to him, actresses like Gabrielle Union and also Samuel
L. Jackson, who wrote onInstagram the prototype the best to ever do
it. We know it is andwill always be his creation talking about the
Shaft franchise. His passing leaves adeep hole not only in my heart,
but I'm sure a lot of yourhearts as well. Just a sad,

(02:37):
sad passing. He was eighty one, eighty one years old. Growing up
in the in the eighties and earlynineties, Cheft was kind of an iconic
figure. I feel like, ohyeah, and he started all of it.
Sad. Britney Spears's ex husband,remember Jason Alexander, she was married
to him for fifty five hours backin two thousand and four, is clapping

(02:59):
back at her claims she only marriedhim because she was drunk and bored.
Another one of the gems from Brindy'snew memoir, Jason said, that's not
true at all. This was truesober love. Apparently in the book itself,
Brittany writes, I was honestly verydrunk and probably in a more general
sense at that time in my lifevery bored, Jason says, that's not

(03:22):
true. We weren't even boozing.We've been friends since childhood, and I
still care and very much, deeplylove her, And I'm just so sad
that this is what she would decideto write about in her book. You
know what, this guy, thisstalker basically because that's what he's been since
then. Right, He's had acouple of instances, like even very recent
Yeah, where he's trying to likea few problems with the law. Yeah,

(03:45):
you're going to spend about fifty fourhours in Vegas too, Right,
I'm just saying, amazing things canhappen a little longer with them there for
four days, Okay, all right. Haley Bieber is setting the record straight
in a very candid interview with GQheight This disdropped yesterday, where once again
she is asking people to stop askingabout when her and Justin Bieber are going
to start a family. Haley saidit was very disheartening to constantly be quizzed

(04:10):
about whether or not she's pregnant,and insisted if she ever does start a
family with Justin, the internet isgoing to be the very last to know.
She said, I can't even bebloated one time and not be pregnant.
I would really lie be lying ifI said I didn't care about this.
She didn't reveal she's looking very forwardto motherhood, but said it's a

(04:30):
private, intimate thing. How aboutthis, Why do you care? Let
me do what I want to dowith my body. You guys can do
what you want with your body andjust let it be that or good.
You know, I like every womanout there. We'll tell you I was
good to say so annoying. Pleasestop asking going to get pregnant? Yeah,
all of your celebscu but West Michiganstart dot com. Lord, it's

(04:51):
here. It's Mack and Schmidti.And I certainly hope that you got out
and joined yourself yesterday with that gorgeous, gorgeous weather we had. I did.
I took full advantage, and maybemore advantage than I felt good about,
although it was a fleeting feeling.So when have you ever gone and
done something fun while you knew youwere leaving your significant other to handle more

(05:13):
pressing things with your family or withyour kids, while you were just off
having a good time, And didit make you feel a little bad because
I did have a tinge yesterday whereI felt fairly because what did you do?
I went golfing yesterday, and that'sno big deal, that's fantastic,
get out and have a little fun. What'd your wife do? My wife
is a parent teacher conference where itis parent he bailed on parent teacher conferences

(05:40):
to go golfing. I'd like toenter some evidence right now in my defense,
SCHMIDI. And that defense is simplythat I have been to every single
other parent teacher conference for both ofmy children, for every single school year
of their life. This, bythe way, my second piece of what
is that two conferences a year istwo conferences a year, and for some

(06:00):
of those years it was just zoom, which was great. Wow. That
so my gosh, you've been somired in the responsibility you had to take
some stress off by hitting the core. This was not a planned thing.
I didn't say to myself like,oh God, I gotta get out of
parents teacher conferences. It wasn't likethat. And actually, my second piece
of evidence is that I didn't gogolfing with my buddies. I didn't go

(06:23):
golfing with my family members. Iwent golfing with my wife's brother and our
brother in law who's married to hersister. I feel like that makes a
difference. They invited me on thisnight. Actually from a woman perspective,
that makes me even angrier because it'slike it wasn't even with people I totally
liked. It was with your family. You know, it was definitely a

(06:46):
bold move. Like you said,it was a bold move. But do
you have I mean, I knowChris gets out. Does he feel bad
sometimes when he's sitting in the deerblind with his buddies and he's drinking having
a beer and he's like, Iknow, my wife's at home, so
alloparenting. Honestly, he does areally good job of scheduling around stuff that
we might have. It's really it'sjust the parent teacher conference really have me

(07:08):
hung up. It was like wejust got our email to schedule conferences and
Chris was literally like, oh,perfect, I'll just make sure to move
my house showings around that. Thatis very sweet of your husband, and
that's his job. My wife wasquick to remind me too. She's like,
you remember for our fifth anniversary whenyou were fishing with your dad and
your brothers in the Chesapeake Bay whileI was like, I do I do

(07:30):
remember that, honey, Or whenI took my dad to Jamaica while my
wife was home with our four weekold son. I also remember that one
for both of those too. Soit's one of those things where there's maybe
a pattern. Let's say, seeyou've got a track record at this point.
I mean, like I said,first time missing a parent teacher conference,
is that? Is that a bigdeal? In? My kids were

(07:50):
great. I was real happy thatboth of the VIRA teachers had nice things
to say, because I was like, if this went south in the conference,
I know, I'm taking one hundredpercent of the plane. Well it's
It's interesting because I feel like theolder they are, the more important it
is for you to go to theconferences. Like if you're telling me you
missed like the kindergarten or preschool difference, I'd be like, yeah, they're

(08:11):
probably just saying like, yeah,they're doing really great at socializing and coloring
inside the lines, but hey,you do you It's however you feel about
your decision leaving your wife to meetwith two different kids teachers. I felt
really bad until I got a birdieon the fourth hole, and after that
things were smooth, saying you knowwhat I would have done great from that
point. I would have started bothconferences and said, sorry, my husband

(08:35):
and their father isn't here. Hedecided to go golfing today because that's more
important than our children. As youlook out the window and see the sunshine.
Yeah, I definitely got a fewflavorful texts from my wife stating just
basically like, oh, it's sonice. How is it out there?
How is it I'm sitting I'm sittingin a third grader's hallway right now waiting
my turn to go into the building. Very nice sometime, Yeah, Stylin

(09:03):
on five points seven. Let's getthese things started the right way. A
little positivity come in your way.And you know, we talk about the
strength of foster families and families thatadopt so often. We have such a
great network of them here in WestMichigan, and that happens a lot of
places. But one of the thingsthat we've talked about in the past is
what it's like to age out ofthe foster system Schmidty, and what a

(09:24):
dangerous thing that can be for youngpeople because it often leads to homelessness.
Sixty percent of the kids who actuallyage out of the foster system in Florida,
that's exactly the future they find themselvesin right away, without the resources
to be able to land down theirfeet. Well. One such case was
for Roman Ballistatus, who actually justgot adopted by his foster family. The

(09:46):
Ballistatuses had actually known him since hewas thirteen years old. He had come
to them and stayed for several months, but he wasn't ready to be adopted
at that time, and in justthe last four year, Schmidty, he
has been in nineteen different homes soback though in August of twenty twenty two,
he came back and stayed with thefamily, and that's when they decided,
Hey, we need to do everythingwe can to make sure that he

(10:07):
is taking care of and that heknows that he has got a home with
us for as long as he wantsone. So they started working extremely hard
to make this adoption process get through, beginning in January of twenty twenty three,
and just last week, one daybefore his eighteenth birthday, when legally
things would have been completely different whenit came to being his guardians. They

(10:28):
were able to adopt romans. Iwent so Dan batma heart with beatin and
get very happy. They mean Igot someone who to go to. Yeah,
yeah, I need someone to talkto. I got people to go
to. Now. Thank god,I say, thank god, Yeah it
happened. I know. He's veryrelieved. We're relieved. He's going to

(10:56):
do so well. He really is. He just needed he needed to know
people believe in him, and hewas wanted and chosen. That's a big
deal. Yeah. So now hejoins the couple and their seven children,
five of whom were also adopted inthere and has a forever family to call
its hel phone. I love thethings that Deggae Ministries does located right here

(11:20):
in Grand Rapids, but their ministryreaches so far beyond that, and now
they're helping women with a tough pastfind their path to a much more promising
future. This is pretty fantastic.There's a new workforce development program that dougishe
has started with a partnership involved careercoach Sharon Hayward, who is known for

(11:41):
her award winning book Winning at Work, realized her calling in life was to
help women get back out there,not just find a job, not just
to survive but thrive after life dealtthem a pretty rough deck. This is
Sharon talking to Fox seventeen about theclasses that she offers as part of this
program. They were pleased, theywere inspired, they felt hope, and

(12:03):
that's not how they felt at thebeginning of the class. These are women
that show up in really tough circumstancesand for the first time in a long
time, if ever, are finallygiven an opportunity, and executive director at
Degige, Thelma en Sync, believesthat's everything. Helping them get resumes together,
helping them practice interview skills, andthen connecting them to all kinds of

(12:26):
wonderful employment partners in town. Now. One of those patrons is Eileen smart
Now. She found herself at DEGIGEback in January. She left an abusive
relationship and was struggling to care forher disabled son, which results in her
losing her apartment. She had nothing, she had no hope she'd know where
to go, and then she tookpart in this program and just months later

(12:48):
she's feeling like a new woman.Self esteem has just skyrocketed. My mental
health is one hundred percent better.I feel, you know, like I'm
contributing something positive, and the numbersreally speak for themselves. To two hundred
and fifty women in this program,Deugaesacson eighty percent success rate. They're now

(13:09):
partnering with places like vandel Arena andCorwell Health to place them in jobs.
If you're interested in learning more aboutthis, obviously they will always take your
beautiful donations. You can check outthe Degage Ministry's website and check out exactly
how amazing this program is. Yeah, great organization. What is it.
It's not a handout, it's ahand up. It's not a Yeah,

(13:31):
love that degas Jay all right,Feeling good comes at you twice a day.
I always here to share something greatgoing on out there with you.
We'll do it again this morning atnine twenty on Startinal five point seven Movies,
Music and all the gossip in oneplace. It's the celebrities gup on
Star one oh five point seven.Well, there are new reports this morning
that have surfaced as part of actorJonathan Major's domestic violence case, now implicating

(13:56):
that he was involved in a similarincident last year in London. The Manhattan
DA who was prosecuting Majors for atwenty twenty three arrest for alleged domestic violence
in New York City, just underdocuments that came from the UK involving an
alleged incident with him and another womanthat went down six months before what happened

(14:16):
in New York. Now, thedetails are not entirely clear, but the
alleged incident went down at a soccerstadium in Wolverhampton, England, where the
actor was filming the latest season ofLoki. The DA says the London report
includes medical records and treatment info fora woman connected to the alleged incident.

(14:37):
This could be very interesting for hiscurrent case. H Yeah, as low
Key season two is, you know, streaming right, and he's been up
in the air about whether he's goingto be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He played King the Conqueror in AntMan, that's where we first saw
him. There's also already been abunch of endorsements that have cut ties with
him, So this isn't great news. Do you remember that story where he

(14:58):
broke up a fight between two teenagegirls, Schmidty. They came out after
this domestic violin stuff. Yeh,So he just randomly happened to be the
right place at the right time toplay peacemaker, and a lot of people
were like, are you did thisactually happens? We know a lot about
what Mama Donna Kelcey thinks of TaylorSwift, and now we're hearing from dad

(15:18):
that's right, of course. Herand Travis are in the middle of Quoit
the Whirlwind romance, and Ed Kelseyis finally opening up to People Magazine saying,
I'll tell you something very special thatI noticed about Taylor the first time
I met her. We're sitting inthe suite. She gets up and in
the front room she gets up,I don't know, to get a drink
or something, and she starts pickingup empty bottles, cans, plates that

(15:39):
are scattered everywhere. You know,in the suites, everybody gets stuff and
you just empty it wherever you want. I'm just thinking, Wow, I
don't think she got the diva memo. She didn't get the spoiled musician.
She doesn't know how to pull thatoff. And that really to me,
said a whole lot. He alsoadded, she's very smart, I mean
very that comes through right away,and not the only one to be heaping

(16:00):
praise on her. This is veryinteresting in a new episode of the Edge
with Michael Parsons, the Dallas Cowboyslandbacker said, Travis Kelsey's my boy,
best tight end in the league forlike the past three or four years.
But it's not Taylor. He said. I am going to tell y'all one
thing. When there's a bad girland she's in attendance and watching you,
that does give you an extra boostof confidence. Kelsey knows what he's doing,

(16:23):
and I do like him together.Yeah, I mean he is averaging
about twice as many yards per game. Yeah, it was like forty five
when Taylor's not there and ninety nineor more when she is, So seems
to be working out quite well.Finally, this was a fun video that
surfaced yesterday. Drake's thirty seventh birthdayparty was one for the Chemistry Books,

(16:45):
if you will, because Breaking Badstars Brian Kranston and Aaron Paul served as
bartenders for the Big Bash. Thiswent down Monday night into Tuesday morning at
a place called Casadonna in Miami.The two stars were in full floral shirts
for the Big Bash, serving upeverything from a Negroni to whatever was on

(17:07):
tap for you. And it's kindof perfect. Great promotion for the fact
that Brian and Aaron have dose ownbrace Mescal. So yeah, this it's
pretty perfect. But the videos arefabulous and they look they look so cool
still all the time. Brian Cranston'slike, what mid sixties, Maybe he's
like the coolest dude out there.I put that up with your scoop at

(17:30):
West Michigan Star dot com. We'reenjoining some warm times that are gonna grab
sharply colder. My co host acrossfrom me right now is com buddy.
I'm I am leaving for Las Vegasa week from tomorrow. I'm so excited.
We're doing a little mom's trip.And I don't travel a whole ton.

(17:52):
I haven't lately, especially like whenyou have a five year old and
two year old, it can bereally tough to find people to watch them,
to travel with them. Could beseers not traveling with that. This
has been something I've been looking forwardto for a while. So why would
all these terrifying stories about planes notpop off right before I'm going to take
off? Do you have some kindof fear of flying? Because this has

(18:14):
been like the last week that allof these stories have happened. We had
this first one about a Jet BlueAirline that touched down on Sunday at JFK
Airport and tipped up. So theplane is at the gate end, there's
a tail tip. Yep. Apparentlysomething, according to the company, shifted
weight and caused the entire airplane tofall backwards. Wait wait, wait,

(18:36):
so you're telling me that when theflight attendants are walking up and down the
aisles telling you that, hey,we're gonna need you to move to the
back, that maybe maybe you're playingcould tip right maybe your plane could tip
right up. The video is wild. Nobody was injured, but everybody's watching,
like what I just got off thatplane and now it's on its back
two wheels because apparently, like onepiece of luggage couldn't be handled. Everyone's

(18:56):
been following this wild story about aplot. His name is Joseph Emerson.
He's now being charged with eighty twocounts of attempted murder because he tried to
take down an airline flight. Andnow he's talking to investigators and telling them
he had a nervous breakdown in thecockpit. He said he felt dehydrated,

(19:18):
he was tired, he hadn't sleptin forty hours, and then slipped in
there that he had taken psychedelic mushroomsbefore going on his flank, as one
does, because that's who you probablywant flying your plane. And then the
story that my wonderful husband pointed outto me. There is a u case
UK based company that is now underfire because, according to a Wall Street

(19:41):
Journal report, they have been sellingjet engine parts backed by phony inspection certificates.
Biggest airlines in the US have hadthis American Delta, United Southwest.
They said they've polled all of theplanes that had anything to do with parts
coming from this company. But I'mthinking so NA could be up in the

(20:02):
air with some I don't know,toilet paper roll that somebody's like, you
know, it's definitely absolutely gonna workin that fuel fusel watch I mean,
is it just me? I'm nota nervous flyer. I never have been.
I enjoy it. I think it'sfun. I usually have a couple
proseccos before I get on board.Oh, with all these stories popping up,
I'd be lying if I wasn't theslightest bit sketched out to be taking

(20:25):
off twenty thousand feet into the airin about a week. Do you feel
like it's because you're about to takea trip that in the sense of,
I mean, you obviously don't controlwhat happens in the world, but it
seems to me when you're focusing onsomething like a trip that's coming up,
things like this, that it wouldbe part of your concern or part of
that experience start gravitating towards your life. What is But I don't know,
I feel like I've never seen thismany plane stories and times I'm not traveling.

(20:51):
You've never seen pilots taking psychod dollnervous breakdowns, trying to take let's
get suck. I love the partI mean, the fake plane parts to
me is terrifying, just in thesense of, like, I guess I
don't understand. Can you put thefake parts in there and then the planes
still operate? And you're like,huh, how did that work out?
Like that's so confusing and terrifying tome. I just we were literally sitting

(21:12):
in the living room the other dayand Chris is on his phone. My
husband goes, huh, I said, whatd He goes, Apparently some weird
company's been selling a bunch of phonyparts to planes. Does that freak you
out, and I'm like, Ican't believed that. You can't you know
him well and you can't believe hedid that. I put this on Facebook
and I love that. Gerald saidmy biggest fear of flying is losing my
luggage, and Gerald, I justwant that calmness because I'm over here thinking

(21:34):
like the lavatory is gonna fall outthe back and we're all going to get
sucked down with it. I waslosing my luggage was now the only thing
on my mind because these stories havegiven me a completely irrational fear of what's
coming. Honestly, I am somuch more afraid of being stuck on the
tarmac for endless hours. Those horrorstories you hear about people being on there

(21:55):
for like six eight hours. Mynightmare, my own personal hell, is
me in the window seat, notbeing able to stand up while we sit
after the flight, like you've alreadyflown, you've been in the air for
hours, and then you just sitthere. I would have a straight up
panic attack right there. Follow meon TikTok at Schmidt in the MIT because
I'll go live with all of it. My people, you know, Schmiddy,

(22:19):
a parent of five and a threeyear old myself an eight and a
ten year old. We've got alot going on and a lot of screwups
that happened. So each and everyWednesday, it's and mind, this week's
Betty again, not mine? Mywife. Oh yes, this weekend it
was a glorious moment. We weredoing the you know, whole cleaning fall
thing where we actually were cleaning outour shed where we keep the lawnmower.

(22:41):
An all urgent. Oh it's terrible. I hate it. I hate doing
it. I love it. Butwe were clearing everything out of this shed
and my kids were sort of,you know, half helping, half hurting
the situation, but they were youknow, around, and my son was
in there, and of course he'slike looking at toys that he hasn't used
in two years. There, mywife and my son are directly inside of

(23:03):
the shed while I am standing justoutside tooling around with the lawnmower or whatever.
And all of a sudden, Ijust look up and because I hear
my wife scream, and I watchher turn and grab my son and thrust
him in front of her like heis to sacrifice to whatever it is.

(23:23):
That it was a mouse it waswould have done the same she immediately grabbed
I'm like, what are you doingwith our Like, what did you grab
him for? I could see screaming, I could see running out of there.
I could see throwing something, justat anything, just to try and
get the mouse. What I don'tsee is using your child as the thing
that's there to protect you. Whatif it wasn't a mouse, What if

(23:45):
it was a bear, schmitty?What if we were in the woods.
I wouldn't throw my kid in frontof a bear, but a mouse.
Listen, my two year old daughter, Sophia loves being a Disney princess.
Here's your snow white chance, honey, make friends with the woodland creatures.
I'm out of here. I immediatelythought, I'm like, I can't believe
you just grabbed him and three infront of me. I was like,
you know what, John, ifit was you, I would have thrown

(24:07):
you in front of me. Iwould have closed the door behind and just
said I'm sorry, You're on yourown from here. And that's marriage.
I'm sure SHMIDI there will be nolong term effects for my son, who
has lost trust in his mother,knowing that she'd sacrifice him if it was
convenient for her. We'll get blamedfor something, might as well be something
we actually did. Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.

(24:30):
It's the celebrity scoop on Star oneoh five point seven. Well,
all the Swifties so excited for nineteeneighty nine my version to drop in just
a few days. And in truetailor form, she's dropping some hints as
well, taking to her Instagram yesterdayto show a handwritten piece of paper with
what looks like lyrics reading, let'sfast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later.

(24:55):
I see your profile and your smileon unsuspecting waiters. I didn't reveal
which song these lines belonged to,but fans have obviously deduced this will be
one of her vault tracks. Now. Of course, Taylor's version drops this
Friday, with all sixteen original songsplus some bonus tracks. A few of
them that she announced include is itover now now that we don't talk?

(25:18):
And Suburban Legends. But fans arepretty stoked about this. I mean,
we will be featuring some of thosesongs Friday morning. You know, all
things Taylor's got it happened, Butyes, Schmitty, it's I just still
have never seen an artist able tojust recreate the same magic that they had
with the original releases. Twice doesn'tmake any sense to me, and I'm

(25:38):
pretty sure, I'm pretty sure I'mnot making this up. There was an
interview she did a few months agowhere she was like, listen, it's
not that I forgive what happened,but thanks Scooter Braun because this worked out
beautifully. Britney Spears says a briefrun in with ex boyfriend Justin Timberlake triggered
a panic attack that we actually allwatched live. This is wild. Remember

(26:02):
her two thousand and seven MTVVM aperformance of Gimme Moore while she was going
to be her huge return to thestage, and she was super caught off
guard when she saw Justin at theshow. This after they had broken up
after the allegations made against him aboutthe two of them almost having the pregnancy
together. The Woman in Me,the new memoir recalls the interaction with Britney,

(26:22):
saying, it had been a whilesince I'd seen him. Everything was
going great in his world. Hewas at the top of his game in
every way. He had a lotof swagger. I, on the other
hand, was having a full onpanic attack. She says she hated the
way she looked because it was lessthan a year since she'd had her second
baby in two years. Everyone wastalking about how she needed to have six
pack of abs and should have bouncedback faster. And then she said she

(26:45):
saw justin flirting with all these differentgirls and looking very happy with himself,
and she just could not handle it. And she said, even looking back
now on videos of that performance takesme right back there. It was just
a really really challenge thing to do. Yeah, I mean, clearly Brittany
had a bit of a hang upon her ex a bit there, but

(27:06):
that's natural, right for anybody,you can see, especially given some of
the things on this book. Finally, the twenty twenty three Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame has expanded its lineup. This is going to be a huge
special. It was announced yesterday StevieNick's Iced Tea, Adam Levine, Carrie
Underwood, common Ll Cool J,Miguel, Queen, Latifa, and Sia

(27:27):
would all be joining the roster ofpresenters, special guests, and performers for
the upcoming thirty eighth Annual Induction Ceremony. Now this is exciting because Remember this
is the first time ever that thisis going to be broadcast live, so
mark it down November three, nextFriday, eight pm. You'll be able
to watch that on ABC and DisneyPlus. I mean, I think it's

(27:48):

fall in love with Miss Stephanie,how incredibly agile she is, her ba
look and face when she knows thatshe has nailed a new dance move.
She has become a total source ofinspiration for the Internet and for Miss Stephanie.

a life half lived. And it'salways been my passion. Oh and she

five and he could barely do thehokey foke Midti, she's got a six
pack of apps. Yeah, ridiculous. She's incredible. All right, this

(32:14):
is really cool because I know thisis something you've experienced in your own life
too. SCHMITTI with your brother.A group of students Glen Hope Elementary down
in Collieville, Texas, outside ofDallas, they decided they wanted to come
together. The class was actually discussingeveryone's favorite colors, when one of those
ten year olds, Jaren Cassilis,said, I actually am not sure because

(32:35):
he was completely color blind, seeingthings mostly in different shades of green.
According to his mom. Well,the class in secret decided they were going
to put together their allowance money togetherto get him a couple of pairs,
an indoor in an outdoor pair ofthose en chroma glasses Schmitty that allow people
to see in color, and theyhad NBC five in Dallas on hand,

(32:59):
a law with Jared's parents for thatmoment. For the very first time,
Jaren mentioned to us all that hewas colorblind. They wanted you to be
able to see like everybody else.We would love to see you try them
on and tell us what you think. WHOA, I'm just like, is
this what everybody else has been sayingthe whole time? It just makes me

(33:22):
feel thankful. Oh yeah, it'sthe heart, right, It's the if
you see something that you want changedin the world, you as an eleven
year old, ten year old youhave you can make an impact. I
know that my friends are really truefriends for doing this for me. Yeah,
pretty awesome, and his mom said, as mom Lindsay said, witnessing
the outpouring of compassion towards Jaren andunharnessed joy in the faces of so many

(33:44):
children channing his name was a momentI will never forget. So all three
of my brothers are colorblind, andboth of my sister in laws have surprised
my brothers with those en chroma glasses, and it's so wild because they had
that same reaction where they said,is everybody else seeing like this all the
time? It's incredible, very cooland so sweet to see all this ten
year old step up for a fellowclassmate. Feeling good. Comes at you
