Good morning, Smitty, Good morning. Welcome into this Wednesday, National Siblings
Day. You're a sibling. Yougot a few of those three brothers?
Yeah? Do they? Do theyever acknowledge this day? No? No,

Well there's National Siblings Day, NationalBrother's Day, National Sister's Day,
National Daughter Day, National Sunday,National Grandpa Day. Like, I can't
keep up. I just wanted ofyour siblings were at all like mine.
They were like, no, don'tpost me on Facebook. Oh, you'd
be off of the I don't eventhink my brother's have Facebook. There you
go. They're very gen z.I don't even know how I would contact
(00:50):
them by a social I'm not sureany of us would even know about these
days if it wasn't for things likeFacebook with hashtag sitting there National Siblings Day.
But that's what woke me up thismorning. So now I'm like,
oh, man, do I haveto call my siblings today? Is that
a thing? Nobody else? Goodmovies, music and all the gossip in
one place. It's the celebrities gupOn Star one, Oh, five point
(01:12):
seven. Well Ethan Crumbley's parents,the Oxford High School shooter, will be
headed to prison for more than adecade. A judge giving them their sentence
yesterday. With regard to Jennet forCrumbley, it is the sense of his
court, Mis Cromley, that youserved ten to fifteen years with the Michigan
Department of Corrections. You will havecredit for eight hundred and fifty eight days.
(01:34):
As to defendant James Cromley, itis the sense of his court that
you served ten to fifteen years withthe Michigan Department of Corrections, that you
receive credit for eight hundred and fiftyeight days. So they have been in
jail since being arrested throughout this trial, so if you heard that judge there,
they do get eight hundred and fiftyeight days of credit served. But
(01:55):
prosecutors got exactly what they wanted.Originally, they wanted to be placed on
house arrest and requested supervised release,not the case ten to fifteen years.
They will also not be allowed tohave any kind of connection or any kind
of verbal or otherwise with any ofthe victims families. They're also very interesting
(02:20):
enough going to see another sentence aboutwhat kind of contact they can have with
their son. The guilty verdicts obviouslyhistoric. This is the first time parents
have ever been found criminally liable fora child's behavior. Yeah, not only
as I'm sure there's a year's longappeal process probably coming with all of this
too, but it's going to havereverberations, you know. Unfortunately for future
cases. This is precedent. Yeah, there are also some very intense impact
(02:45):
statements made. I'll have that foryou in your next scoop. Dory.
Spelling says she cannot be alone andthat includes going potty. Very interesting in
her new episode of her Misspelling podcast. How hard it is to be alone
even when you're doing that, honestly, Like, I still don't poop alone,
(03:06):
Like bo still stands there and staresand talks to me, like while
I'm pooping, Like it's just likeI don't know, I haven't pooped peene
alone in eighteen years. Yeah.First it was Dean and it was kids,
Like, I don't know, Ithink I function better with people.
I for a second understood what shewas saying there because she's a mom and
(03:28):
like we all know, but forher to be like at first, when
we didn't have kids, Dean wouldwatch me go to the bathroom, and
naturally, the internet has some feelsabout this, kind of like I'm not
sure if like your seven year oldshould be your potty partner. But interesting,
Hey, buddy, moms feel alittle bit constipated, would you mind
coming over here and have a conversationwith you please? Well, like a
seven year old doesn't even know whatthat word means. Finally, they have
(03:51):
a fixed the Kobe Bryant statue officially. Remember a few months ago I had
this story several problems on Mama's lifesized tribute statue outside of cryptocurrency Arena that
not only included a few of thenames misspelled, but also the word decision
(04:11):
in coaches decision wrongfully written twice onthe statue. Was exceptionally embarrassing because it
was his widow Vanessa that pointed itout. It was unveiled yesterday afternoon and
it has been fixed. Yeah,you know what's thrill embarrassing. It's annoying
when you can't edit tweets having toedit full size statues is yea. But
lake decision is spelled with an S, y'all, so I guess that's just
(04:32):
something we needed to know ahead oftime. All of your celeb scoop.
It was a really beautiful unveiling ceremony, by the way, which is up
at West Michigan Star dot com.I'm born of TiO. It's back in
Schmidti, and you know we lovea good wedding. Why not get out
there and celebrate love? Honestly,as long as I'm not in a yeah
all day, assuming that its someplaceyou want to be, where is the
(04:53):
furthest you have to go or ofhandigo, I should say for a destination
wedding, because it if you hadto fly somewhere, I don't think that's
as bad as having to drive somewhere. I don't disagree with yeah, yeah,
yeah, but I mean there islimitations. I asked this online and
man, you guys have been tosome incredible places. So many people,
some of those typical destination wedding places, the Caribbean, quite a few Mexico
(05:15):
ones, Jamaica, anything Tropic.We saw some big ones though, like
Titia who said Australia, that's awild one, going all the way down
under. You mentioned driving Schmidty,and Katie Cracker said Philadelphia Pennsylvania with a
six week old baby, and Iwas in the wedding. So that's what
I want to talk about, becausewhere are you going or where's your dad
going? So my dad just casuallydrops some conversation with me the other day
(05:39):
that he and his wife next monthare traveling to Guatemala for a wedding.
Guatemala for a wedding for a personhe has never met before. His wife
is very close family friends. Iwas about to say, watch your organs,
dude, what are we doing.He's getting married. They're getting married
(06:00):
to a volcano in Guatemala, andso much knows them though has never met
them in life. My dad hasnever met these people that he is going
to witness get married ever, like, never online, never on a FaceTime.
Only his wife has met these people. My seventy six year old father
called me because like, oh,I'm just leaving my doctor's appointment. I
got my typhoid shot. I'm like, what did you get a typhoid scheff
(06:23):
for? He's like, We're goingto Guatemala next one. Like it's just
all very casually dripping out of hismouth, and I'm going, You're going
to Guatemala. So of course,the first thing I do is look up
travel advisories from the US. I'mlike a South American country, a little
dicey. You never know it,says reconsider travel right on the top of
this doesn't like feel super sketchy toyou. So never met these people.
He's never met them. His wifeis His wife has known them for years
(06:45):
like friends. That's what makes mefeel weird, Like they've never even been
like on a phone call together orlike zoomed I it is literally one of
her best friend's sons who is gettingmarried. So he and my dad has
spoken with her friend end lots oftimes, but never her son like that.
Actually, it'd be kind of weirdalmost. You need to get a
GPS tracker, Like this is veryvery odd. He's like, he's like,
(07:09):
Oh, we're gonna go visit theMayan temples and we're gonna go check
out volcanos. And I'm like,all of that sounds fantastic. Hey,
Dad, do you know what languagethey speak in Guatemala And he's like,
uh, Spanish, And I go, that's right. But you had to
think about it. And that's mypointing man, And I think the most
annoying wedding I ever went to,and Number one, it was because it
(07:29):
was my cousin's third wedding. Sowe're done doing that. I haven't even
been to the shores of Monoqua.It's in Wisconsin, which doesn't sound far,
but have you tried to road tripthere? Because it's the exact point
where you either get to go souththrough Chicago or you get to go north
through the up And when we traveled, we had a one and a half
(07:51):
year old and it was a nineand a half almost ten hour drive.
I'm just sending the gift. Eithergo through Chicago and take your chance with
the traffic, adding two to seventeenhours onto your trip, or you go
through the up where there's swaths ofabsolutely nothing to get to this wedding.
I take it all back, Schmid. He sent me a Guatemala Mike.
(08:15):
I'm telling you, when it comesto driving, I think it can be
worse sometimes than like going to Europesometimes. Does that get a good feeling?
Yeah, all right, Betty,Let's start this day with a little
bit of positivity. And I gottasay everybody's feeling good in this family over
on the East Side. Last Fridaymorning, just after four p forty in
(08:37):
the morning near nine mile in VanDyke Avenue. Over there, five year
old Juwan Perry Junior wakes up smellingsmoke. He told WXYZ there that he
said, I started confident, thenhe quit he saw flame, Schmidty And
what would you do if you're afive year old, why you'd scream for
your mom? And that's exactly whatJuwan did. And man, is it
(08:58):
a good thing that he woke upbecause he's the only member of his family
woke up when that home erupted intoflames. There were six other children inside
besides Juwan, as well as hismom, Brittany, who said she instantly
got up and ran into the roomto see it only engulfed with flames.
(09:18):
Was able to then go and geteach of her children out of the house
safely while the war and Fire departmentshowed up to get the blaze under control.
Schmitty wild wild scene. This firemoved so so quickly, and while
the Warren Fire Department is investigating,they think it's from a space heater.
They just acknowledged that this family wouldprobably not be here if it wasn't for
(09:39):
Juwan, if he had not wokenup because they were only minutes from this
house being totally lost in the flames. Juan and his mom Brittany talking to
WXYZ about this just terrifying situation,all right, mama, and I instantly
jumped up and ran. When Iran. By the time I made to
their everything was on fire and netroll and the hero only had his Superman
(10:03):
draws all like a superhero. Hewas in Superhero Old. I guess if
it wasn't for him, we wouldn'tbe here. He is my hero always
and forever going to be my hero, likek a superhero rock in those draws.
When asked, you know how hedid it even if he was scared,
he said, because I love everybodythat's a five year old that you
(10:24):
want to have. All right,So I know we were all super stoked
about solar eclipse Monday, but probablynot nearly as much as Laverne Biser,
who lives in Texas and just twomonths shy of his one hundred and sixth
birthday. Monday was his thirteenth eclipse. Laverne was born in nineteen eighteen and
(10:45):
his an absolute astronomy buff. Hesaid, I just couldn't let it go.
I was nervous being in Texas.It was pretty cloudy. I've seen
twelve of the eclipses so far,and I did not want to miss my
thirteenth, which he did not.The clouds cleared, he said, it
was absolutely extraordinary. Oh, itturned out almost perfectly good at any of
(11:09):
it. I've ever seen the bestof any of them I've ever seen.
And just how confident is he abouthis ability to see every eclipse possible.
Ask his daughter who literally had tomove her wedding day decades ago, and
so we thought it would be neatto get married on July eighth. Daddy
said, well, if you wantme to give you away, it'll have
(11:31):
to be June, because in Julyon the eighth, I'll be in Prince
Edward Island watching sea cliffs. Imean, it was an entire family event.
This was so cool. And hesaid he's nowhere near done. The
Good Lord will allow him to stay. He's ready for the next one.
It was just perfect that this wasLucky thirteen. I mean, it's us.
(11:52):
Jay Crip came to us hearing heanxious, how lucky are you?
Holy lucky Lucky thirteen. It wasso cool. I'll put the story up
so you can see the moment oftotality for him, and what he had
to say about other eclipses he's seensince seems like kind of the pro thirteen
of them under his belt. That'swhat I was gonna say. It's kind
of crazy to think about you,Middy. He has more than likely seen
(12:13):
more eclipses than any other human beingin human history, easily at one hundred
and six. I can't believe it. Unreal. I feel like I'd always
here to point out amazing things goingon out in our world, that we
will do it again for you.Coming up nine to twenty this morning here
on Star win or Fine forn Somovies, music and all the gossip in
one place. It's the celebritiescoop onStar one oh five point seven. Well
(12:37):
Ethan Crumbley, the Oxford High Schoolshooter's parents, will be headed to prison
same as their son. James andJennifer Crumbley learned their sentence yesterday in a
Michigan court. In regard to JenniferCrumbley, it is the sense of his
court, Miss Crumbley, that youserved ten to fifteen years with the Michigan
Department of Corrections. You will havefor eight hundred and fifty eight days.
(13:01):
The same sentence came down for James, of course eight hundred and fifty eight
days credit because they have been injail throughout the entirety of this trial.
The guilty verdicts will also say thatthey cannot have any kind of contact with
any of the victim's families. Theywill have another sentence about what contact will
look like with their son, whoof course has a life sentence without the
(13:22):
possibility of parole. These guilty verdicts, of course historic, the first time
parents have been found criminally liable fortheir children's behavior. James crumbly opted to
address families that were in the courtyesterday. I want to say, I
can't imagine the pain and agony forthe families that have lost their children and
(13:43):
what they're experiencing and what they're goingthrough. As a parent, our biggest
fear is losing our child, forour children, and to lose a child
is unimaginable. My heart is reallybroken for everybody involved. It's interesting because
people in the comments section who werewatching this live said okay, so they
(14:03):
continued to apologize for their son's actionsand did not once take responsibility for their
part of this. Buckmere, thedad to victim Taatemir, also took the
stand for our family. It's nottime to celebrate. This tragedy is taken.
Hey, incredible toll on our family. So our family's not going to
(14:24):
give the Krumly family a second ofour time up here. It's time to
turn our focus now. This isthe low hanging fruit. Now it's time
to turn our focus to Oxford Schoolswho played a role in this tragedy,
and that will be the next bigpart of this. Wow. You know,
(14:45):
it's like you said, there's nothingthat's going to end the pain that
those families are feeling. But Ihope with each one of these milestones that
they get through with these core processes, that it helps bring them a little
bit of room to grieve a littlebit of peace. A lot of people
believe going after the school district isalso so justice served. We'll keep you
updated. Jelly Roll said he gotsome real bad vibes from Diddy, to
(15:07):
the point where he opted to notmeet him. The rapper dished about all
of this during the new episode ofthe canceled podcast, saying he really trusts
his gut feeling on vibes and thiswas just not it. I did Kimmel,
okay, the day did he didKimmel. Did you This is the
first time in my career ever wherethey said do you want to meet such
(15:31):
and such? And I said yeah, and I started walking that way,
and as I was getting down thehallway this is a true story, I
said, nah, better not andwent and got back in the car really
swear, I don't know what itwas. And I was like, you
don't want to meet the guy thatgot Tupac killed. And nobody thought that
was funny, so I was like, well, that's a bomb. Maybe
I shouldn't go do this. Iwas already skeptical because I thought I had
(15:52):
a funny one and I probably wouldn'tsay that. We were walking, I
was just like, I don't knowit. It is just something like very
seldom does things rubbed me in away where I was like, I don't
even know if that's a picture Iwant interesting it is because just the other
reason I say it's interesting is becauseI mean, at the time, I
don't think a whole lot of accusationshad been leveled publicly, probably against Diddy,
so there'd been a few because obviouslywe saw a ton over the last
(16:15):
couple decades, just depending on peopleand who they were and who he had
worked with. But even his wifesaid, I was there for that,
and both of us were like,ah, man, we're just getting a
bad feeling about this. Finally,Morgan Wallin's issues with alcohol are being once
again talked about, following that issuein Nashville where he tossed the chair off
of a sixth story building. Well, now People magazine is confirming that sources
(16:42):
say Morgan's got an issue. He'sgenerally a nice, fun person to hang
out with, but when he getsgoing, he does not know when to
stop. Morgan and alcohol is aserious problem, a problem that keeps coming
back around, and according to thesource, they say the very close friend,
a problem that will eventually cost himhis if he does not figure this
out. I mean he's seen ittime and time again, because that guy,
(17:03):
I mean living on top of thecountry mountain these days too. So
the only thing really you hold himback is himself and his own problems that
he seems to keep running into.Remember charged with felony, reckless endangerment,
and disorderly conduct. Well, allof that and more with your celeb scoop
at West Michigan Star dot com.It's back and Spinty with you and yeah,
a neighborhood Facebook groups are always somethingto behold. Well, this is
(17:26):
I don't know, this is brandnew for me. I've never been in
one because before when we lived inour old house, we were more so
in the city, and we've justmoved and so finally I'm now in a
neighborhood, a massive one. I'mnot going to tell you where because I
don't want to get I don't wantto get kicked out of the Facebook group
if they find out what I wastalking about. And I just it's exactly
(17:48):
like the Internet has told me.There's just so many absolutely wild pieces of
drama that go down in these neighborhoodgroups. But this one caught my eye
because I felt like it was almostmean. I'm not sure you want to
find out your pet has passed awayin a neighborhood Facebook group. What is
that? How you would want thenews broken to you? I'm okay what
(18:10):
happened because I was scrolling through anda few days ago someone posted in the
neighborhood group, I just saw adead Calico cat on this road. Just
east of our neighborhood, posting herein case you're looking for your fur baby.
Sorry huggs, but here's the deal. I guess I would. That's
(18:33):
not as bad to me as theamount of people that tagged friends in the
comments section. Oh yeah, whoall have miniged your heart attacks when they
see the post and their name,like erectly are you telling me you want
to wake up or whatever? Comeback from your busy day, see that
you've been tagged on Facebook, getin there and be like, Hey,
(18:55):
Sherry, is this your dead cat? Isn't that sad? Please tell me
the person did not here a photoof said in the comments, because there
could be a lot of different calicoalcats out there. Yes, this it
was wild to me and I'm goingthrough and I'm just like, that is
something I would never do. Like, if you think maybe it belongs to
(19:17):
someone you know, would you notlike shoot a text or call and be
like, hey, I hope it'snot but maybe for some closure, not
hey at blah blah blah woofs,looks like you've had a bad day and
how does it end? Do youhave to jump on there and be like
it's mine? Everybody thanks a lot, right. Is it like the garage
(19:37):
sale groups where it's like, uh, this has been sold, or like,
oh the update, this has beengiven away? Update we found the
cat owner. I hope that's howit is that the owner that the post
the original poster even just instantly deletesit when somebody contacts them, or underneath
it this like owner has been found. It's just so sad. And then
outside of the people being tagged,who might be the owner of this now
(20:00):
rip cat? Are the people thatare just going after regular cats. This
one's like might be the feral catthat lives next door and then tags their
neighbor Like I haven't never been frontrow to such incredible drama in my life.
Honestly, Smitty, buckle up becauseI know of the iceberg. Best
thing I had was the next doorapp, which is also incredible. It
(20:22):
is pretty fantastic. But when ithits a little more close to home,
now, oh, it's gonna begood. You'll start to see the divisions
and the factions arise in your neighborhood. And well, this is why I
always make sure my cats are inside. Oh well, thank you, mister
perfection pet owner five point seven.Its back in Schmitty and frankly, I
(20:45):
think if you're not screwing up asa parent, you must not be trying
very hard. So we own thosefails each and every week it is another
Smitty so vacation. Last week Itook a little trip to Niagara Falls for
spring break with the kids. Awesome. We stayed in a hotel right next
to the falls, so the roomgot to look at the falls. Super
super cool. Kids had a greattime. But one of the hotels right
(21:08):
next to us is called the TowerHotel, and it is literally think of
like a sucker shape, you know. It's a skinny tower that goes up
and then expands all the way onthe top so that people can look out
over the waterfalls from this hotel.That's the specific theme of this and so
it's kind of cool looking definitely different. The kids were interested in it,
and there was an eye hop upon the twenty sixth floor of this thing,
(21:33):
which was kind of cool. We'relike, oh, we'll have to
go over there for breakfast one dayand check out this eye hop while we
look out of the falls. Sowe went up there the last day that
we were on this trip, andwe get up there we sit down and
it's cool looking, but it's reallynot that much different than our hotel,
and everything is like fifty dollars.Everything, like every omelet is like you're
paying pass crazy tips, I meanfees and everything else put on there.
(21:55):
We're like, we're not we getwe can't pay fifty dollars for pancakes,
and I hop we gotta get outof here. We're not rolling like that.
So we do the awkward thing ofleaving the restaurant right and we get
back to the elevator that's gonna takeus down the twenty six floors, and
my son sees the stairwell right there. And I don't know about your kids
if they're not at the age yet, but my kids always want to either
go up the stairs at a hotelor down the stairs at a hotel.
(22:18):
They just think it's an adventure thatyou're getting out of there with it.
And my son's like, can Igo down the stairwell? And my wife
is immediately going Michelle's like no,no, no, no, twenty six
floors up. No, you're notdoing I'm like, come on, let
the kid live a little let's vacation. Let him go down. So he
did go down. He went downthe stairwell all twenty six floors, and
I was waiting by the door onthe at the lobby level for him to
(22:41):
get down there Schmidty, only tosee a door that says you may not
enter, alarm will sound. Ohso it's like only a fire escape.
It is a fire escape stairwep.He has gone down twenty six floors and
he is standing there and he's like, I can't come out. He says,
their alarm's gonna go off, andI'm like, buddy, to that,
or you go back up twenty sixfloors to the elephant. I'm like,
(23:03):
because there's actually no floors to getoff on until I think you get
to floor twenty two. He hadto walk back up to the twenty second
floor by himself. This whole processtook maybe forty minutes. My wife is
stairy daggers into my soul. Yeahtimes smitty, I'm just like a budd
God. It's good, a littleexercise. We got guys will walk in
today. It was h This isn'ta confession. This is a hack.
Because if those were my kids,we'd been napping for about five hours,
(23:26):
then Mama would be by the poolwith a cocktail exactlys he slapped like a
baby on the way home, Smitty. I think it was good parenting movies,
music and all the gossip in oneplace. It's the celebrity scoop on
Star one oh five point seven.Oh well, I'm sure you'll remember.
(23:47):
One of Taylor Swift's ex's, CalvinHarris, had about a year long relationship
with the singer before Taylor and theDJ parted ways, but he still gets
to hear her music all the timebecause Calvin's wife, Vick is a certified
Swiftie. She confessed her love forTaylor on her BBC Radio One show,
(24:07):
saying she tries to wait until Calvinhas left, but this is just too
good and it's the best part ofher day. Can I say yes?
As soon as my husband goes away, I listened to Taylor Swift, so
that's just when I get my littlefit, Just a little phil, just
a couple of songs get out ofmy system. Then it's done. Now
(24:27):
you'll remember there's been Remember that Tayloris actually written a couple of songs about
her relationship with Calvin. So Ithink this is just juicy and fabulous.
I you know, I think maybeit means that Calvin hasn't said the worst
things about Taylor. Maybe his girlfriendcan you know, enjoy her because they
were kind of amicable. They weretogether a year. I think they had
a lot of fun and then wenttheir own ways in like a really nice
(24:48):
way. So get it, girl. Heather McDonald, the comedian and podcaster,
is spelling deets about hanging out withBritney Spears. So this actually went
down in December. Heather was diningout at a restaurant in Hollywood where she
spotted Brittany celebrating her birthday with hermanager, Kate Hudson, who Heather happened
to know. She was simply goingto go over to the table and say,
(25:11):
hey, I'm such a huge fan, I'm super stoked about you writing
this book, but instead, Brittanyinvited her to hang out, and in
the latest episode of her Juicy Scooppodcast, she said Brittany was pretty wonderful.
She did an impression of her Idon't sing as well as you,
so I just I'm going to doyour dancing on your Instagram. But she
had a good attitude about it.She was fun and then they invited me
(25:33):
to go to the after party,the dancing after party. And as much
as the old Heather would have lovedto have gone, the new Heather,
which was only about two days old, decided, you know what, girl,
you got everything you want. Thiswas amazing. Maybe God will bless
you and she'll post this. Andeven though it took many months, she
did post it. I hope tohang out with her more. It was
(25:55):
great to see that she was outand having fun, and that's the reason
she talked about it. So britathe just recently posted this clip of Heather
imitating her, and Heather wanted tomake sure people knew like when I saw
her at a birthday, she wasin a great space. She was surrounded
by people that were really really goodfor her, Like all around she seemed
really really positive. So hopefully she'sfinding her group. That's nice because I
(26:15):
did not think that was where thatstory was gonna go. Yeah, No,
it was good. It was prettygood. She had good things to
say. Finally, we've been waitingso long to get a really good look
at the new Joker movie. Thisis the one with Joaquin Phoenix and Lady
Gaga. The first official trail droppedyesterday plus, what's changed, Martha,
(26:37):
what's changed anymore? I want tosay, they're really you. I mean
it looks really really good. Headsup. This one is rated R,
so probably not for the kids.I'm excited to see this movie. I
like the original. I'm still thrownoff by the idea of it being a
(26:59):
semi musical. I still don't knowwhat I picture that being. Like,
have you watched the trailer yet?I have not give it a watch,
because they do put a couple ofsongs in there, and you're like,
oh, this is gonna be perfect. I think that the musical part of
it is actually going to work beautifully. With this I've got to post it
for you with your scoop at WestMichigan Star dot Com. Time to Battle.
Battle of This Sex is hopefully goingto land you at the top sculpture
(27:23):
park in all of America, accordingto the USA Today, talking of course,

Nah, the one I'm most familiarwith gunners definitely find my way to the
gutter often, Schmidti. I Yeah, I gotta say I like going kids
bowling because they always have the cutestlike little graphics on the TV, like
when you get a turkey and stuff. Yeah. Oh, maybe that's the
(28:07):
answer. Who knows. I wasn'tgonna say. That was like whatever,
we gonna do it. Six one, six, four eight one five seven.
One hundred men surveyed. Name aterm used in bowling. Number one
answer, You're headed to the FrederickMeyer Gardens in Sculpture Park with star win.
Oh five point seven? Good morning, star? Who's this joshere?
Youre coming from today? Man?All right, Josh, let's see if
(28:29):
we can get you hooked up withthese tickets for Frederick Meyer Gardens and Sculpture
Park. Gotta tell me a hunter. Guys were asked to name a term
used in bowling. What do youthink the top answer is there, Josh.
I originally was gonna go with youand say gutter, but I'm gonna
say strike opposite ends at the spectrumthere from the gutter, which is where
I find myself quite often to uhto knock it all ten pins down,
(28:52):
these strike in there, which Iexperienced far less frequently. But that is
the top answer. Congratulations, man. Yeah, it was strike followed by
pin then spare being the third answer, and turkey, like SCHMITTI said,
yeah, which, by the way, I know, is three strikes in
a row, even though I've actuallynever done that. Congratulations, Josh.
You're going to check out the FrederickMeyer Gardens. Good. Yeah, You're
(29:17):
very welcome. We'll do it againtomorrow too. Another chance to win Battle
of the Sexies every weekday eight fourteenhere on Star Want a pop points o
some down? Does that get agood Veeli? What little slice of slung
shine he got for us today?SCHMITTI, Well, this is just incredible.
Of course, I told you aboutthe one hundred and five year old
that just saw his thirteenth eclipse infeeling good earlier this morning. How about
(29:40):
getting married atop of castle this timearound? It's amazing. Vanessa Quickly and
Anthony badall live in Stockbridge, andwe're married Monday afternoon atop the sixth story
high Helmer Castle, just south Jackson, exchanging vows at the exact moment the
sun was blocked by the moon.The couple got the idea contacted venue owner
(30:02):
Joy Hardy several weeks ago after theirjeweler said that she could create an eclipse
inspired piece just in time for thewedding. Cell The theme seemed perfect and
how cool it looked and sounded.This is their vow exchange today. Mark's
a brilliant spark of joy in auniverse that's billions of years old and sprawls
(30:25):
and comprehensible ninety three billion like yearsacross. We're all pretty comfortable sitting here,
even though our Earth is spinning aroundat a thousand miles per hour,
curling past the Sun at sixty seventhousand miles an hour in a solar system
that's chucking itself around the galaxy atfour hundred and ninety thousand miles per hour.
(30:47):
Their lives and hearts have been fusedtogether. It's remarkable, isn't it.
You don't have to believe in fateto see the divine beauty in that
I mean imagine having the those kindsof vows. This was especially awesome for
Anthony, he tells emly the starsaligned perfectly. See he is an upholsterer
that grew up wanting to be anastronaut. He said. It's literally one
(31:11):
of a kind, from custom maderings to this custom made moment. By
the way, the Jackson area wasjust shy of ninety eight percent of that
totality, so it was amazing.I'll post the video up at West Michigan
Star dot com. I would haveliked to see all the guests and even
the brid and groom with their glasseson like this. It was just then.
(31:32):
It was gorgeous. It was justthem and this woman. It was
just beautiful atop Helmer Castle. Thepictures are stunning, really neat smiddy.
This is just wild to think abouta first in human history that we know
of. Russ Cook, twenty sevenyear old englishman from West Sussex, has
just entered his name in the historybooks by being the first person to ever
run the entire length of Africa.This is wild, sixteen country. He's
(32:00):
over ten thousand miles, the equivalentof roughly three hundred and eighty five marathon
Schmidty done in three hundred and fiftytwo days. This man braved an insane
journey that started last April twenty second. But we're talking going from rain rainforest
mountains of course the unforgiving Sahara Desertalong the way, he got robbed at
(32:23):
gunpoint. He got kidnapped in thecongo and taken into the jungle before his
team could free him. He hasbeen on an incredible journey that ultimately ended
just back on April seventh, justthe other day earlier this week in Tunisia
where he crossed that finish line andlooking back on a talking to Sky News,
(32:44):
he was asked what the hardest partwas and he said, just knowing
that it was going to be constantevery single day, so many difficult ones.
Man. I think the biggest thingis that it's just it's three hundred
and fifty two days in the road. It always is billed in this constant
and it you know, there isno level. Yeah, it's amazing to
find Finnish. Yeah. A crewof over a dozen of his friends and
(33:05):
family members came in to run thedistance on his final day of over a
marathon but then jumping into the Mediterraneanas soon as he got there. They're
nice friends, the first person toever run the length of Africa. Pretty
wild up with the story of WestMichigan. Start dot com and We're always
here to tell you about something amazinggoing on out in our world. And
we'll do it for you tomorrow too, six forty five and nine twenty on
Start one oh five point seven.Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekdays starting
(33:30):
at six am on Star one ohfive point seven
Wait, it gets my day goingand makes me laugh. I love it.
Mac and Schmitty in the Morning onStar one O five point seven,
Good morning, Smitty, Good morning. Welcome into this Wednesday, National Siblings
Day. You're a sibling. Yougot a few of those three brothers?
Yeah? Do they? Do theyever acknowledge this day? No? No,
(00:28):
Well there's National Siblings Day, NationalBrother's Day, National Sister's Day,
National Daughter Day, National Sunday,National Grandpa Day. Like, I can't
keep up. I just wanted ofyour siblings were at all like mine.
They were like, no, don'tpost me on Facebook. Oh, you'd
be off of the I don't eventhink my brother's have Facebook. There you
go. They're very gen z.I don't even know how I would contact
(00:50):
them by a social I'm not sureany of us would even know about these
days if it wasn't for things likeFacebook with hashtag sitting there National Siblings Day.
But that's what woke me up thismorning. So now I'm like,
oh, man, do I haveto call my siblings today? Is that
a thing? Nobody else? Goodmovies, music and all the gossip in
one place. It's the celebrities gupOn Star one, Oh, five point
(01:12):
seven. Well Ethan Crumbley's parents,the Oxford High School shooter, will be
headed to prison for more than adecade. A judge giving them their sentence
yesterday. With regard to Jennet forCrumbley, it is the sense of his
court, Mis Cromley, that youserved ten to fifteen years with the Michigan
Department of Corrections. You will havecredit for eight hundred and fifty eight days.
(01:34):
As to defendant James Cromley, itis the sense of his court that
you served ten to fifteen years withthe Michigan Department of Corrections, that you
receive credit for eight hundred and fiftyeight days. So they have been in
jail since being arrested throughout this trial, so if you heard that judge there,
they do get eight hundred and fiftyeight days of credit served. But
(01:55):
prosecutors got exactly what they wanted.Originally, they wanted to be placed on
house arrest and requested supervised release,not the case ten to fifteen years.
They will also not be allowed tohave any kind of connection or any kind
of verbal or otherwise with any ofthe victims families. They're also very interesting
(02:20):
enough going to see another sentence aboutwhat kind of contact they can have with
their son. The guilty verdicts obviouslyhistoric. This is the first time parents
have ever been found criminally liable fora child's behavior. Yeah, not only
as I'm sure there's a year's longappeal process probably coming with all of this
too, but it's going to havereverberations, you know. Unfortunately for future
cases. This is precedent. Yeah, there are also some very intense impact
(02:45):
statements made. I'll have that foryou in your next scoop. Dory.
Spelling says she cannot be alone andthat includes going potty. Very interesting in
her new episode of her Misspelling podcast. How hard it is to be alone
even when you're doing that, honestly, Like, I still don't poop alone,
(03:06):
Like bo still stands there and staresand talks to me, like while
I'm pooping, Like it's just likeI don't know, I haven't pooped peene
alone in eighteen years. Yeah.First it was Dean and it was kids,
Like, I don't know, Ithink I function better with people.
I for a second understood what shewas saying there because she's a mom and
(03:28):
like we all know, but forher to be like at first, when
we didn't have kids, Dean wouldwatch me go to the bathroom, and
naturally, the internet has some feelsabout this, kind of like I'm not
sure if like your seven year oldshould be your potty partner. But interesting,
Hey, buddy, moms feel alittle bit constipated, would you mind
coming over here and have a conversationwith you please? Well, like a
seven year old doesn't even know whatthat word means. Finally, they have
(03:51):
a fixed the Kobe Bryant statue officially. Remember a few months ago I had
this story several problems on Mama's lifesized tribute statue outside of cryptocurrency Arena that
not only included a few of thenames misspelled, but also the word decision
(04:11):
in coaches decision wrongfully written twice onthe statue. Was exceptionally embarrassing because it
was his widow Vanessa that pointed itout. It was unveiled yesterday afternoon and
it has been fixed. Yeah,you know what's thrill embarrassing. It's annoying
when you can't edit tweets having toedit full size statues is yea. But
lake decision is spelled with an S, y'all, so I guess that's just
(04:32):
something we needed to know ahead oftime. All of your celeb scoop.
It was a really beautiful unveiling ceremony, by the way, which is up
at West Michigan Star dot com.I'm born of TiO. It's back in
Schmidti, and you know we lovea good wedding. Why not get out
there and celebrate love? Honestly,as long as I'm not in a yeah
all day, assuming that its someplaceyou want to be, where is the
(04:53):
furthest you have to go or ofhandigo, I should say for a destination
wedding, because it if you hadto fly somewhere, I don't think that's
as bad as having to drive somewhere. I don't disagree with yeah, yeah,
yeah, but I mean there islimitations. I asked this online and
man, you guys have been tosome incredible places. So many people,
some of those typical destination wedding places, the Caribbean, quite a few Mexico
(05:15):
ones, Jamaica, anything Tropic.We saw some big ones though, like
Titia who said Australia, that's awild one, going all the way down
under. You mentioned driving Schmidty,and Katie Cracker said Philadelphia Pennsylvania with a
six week old baby, and Iwas in the wedding. So that's what
I want to talk about, becausewhere are you going or where's your dad
going? So my dad just casuallydrops some conversation with me the other day
(05:39):
that he and his wife next monthare traveling to Guatemala for a wedding.
Guatemala for a wedding for a personhe has never met before. His wife
is very close family friends. Iwas about to say, watch your organs,
dude, what are we doing.He's getting married. They're getting married
(06:00):
to a volcano in Guatemala, andso much knows them though has never met
them in life. My dad hasnever met these people that he is going
to witness get married ever, like, never online, never on a FaceTime.
Only his wife has met these people. My seventy six year old father
called me because like, oh,I'm just leaving my doctor's appointment. I
got my typhoid shot. I'm like, what did you get a typhoid scheff
(06:23):
for? He's like, We're goingto Guatemala next one. Like it's just
all very casually dripping out of hismouth, and I'm going, You're going
to Guatemala. So of course,the first thing I do is look up
travel advisories from the US. I'mlike a South American country, a little
dicey. You never know it,says reconsider travel right on the top of
this doesn't like feel super sketchy toyou. So never met these people.
He's never met them. His wifeis His wife has known them for years
(06:45):
like friends. That's what makes mefeel weird, Like they've never even been
like on a phone call together orlike zoomed I it is literally one of
her best friend's sons who is gettingmarried. So he and my dad has
spoken with her friend end lots oftimes, but never her son like that.
Actually, it'd be kind of weirdalmost. You need to get a
GPS tracker, Like this is veryvery odd. He's like, he's like,
(07:09):
Oh, we're gonna go visit theMayan temples and we're gonna go check
out volcanos. And I'm like,all of that sounds fantastic. Hey,
Dad, do you know what languagethey speak in Guatemala And he's like,
uh, Spanish, And I go, that's right. But you had to
think about it. And that's mypointing man, And I think the most
annoying wedding I ever went to,and Number one, it was because it
(07:29):
was my cousin's third wedding. Sowe're done doing that. I haven't even
been to the shores of Monoqua.It's in Wisconsin, which doesn't sound far,
but have you tried to road tripthere? Because it's the exact point
where you either get to go souththrough Chicago or you get to go north
through the up And when we traveled, we had a one and a half
(07:51):
year old and it was a nineand a half almost ten hour drive.
I'm just sending the gift. Eithergo through Chicago and take your chance with
the traffic, adding two to seventeenhours onto your trip, or you go
through the up where there's swaths ofabsolutely nothing to get to this wedding.
I take it all back, Schmid. He sent me a Guatemala Mike.
(08:15):
I'm telling you, when it comesto driving, I think it can be
worse sometimes than like going to Europesometimes. Does that get a good feeling?
Yeah, all right, Betty,Let's start this day with a little
bit of positivity. And I gottasay everybody's feeling good in this family over
on the East Side. Last Fridaymorning, just after four p forty in
(08:37):
the morning near nine mile in VanDyke Avenue. Over there, five year
old Juwan Perry Junior wakes up smellingsmoke. He told WXYZ there that he
said, I started confident, thenhe quit he saw flame, Schmidty And
what would you do if you're afive year old, why you'd scream for
your mom? And that's exactly whatJuwan did. And man, is it
(08:58):
a good thing that he woke upbecause he's the only member of his family
woke up when that home erupted intoflames. There were six other children inside
besides Juwan, as well as hismom, Brittany, who said she instantly
got up and ran into the roomto see it only engulfed with flames.
(09:18):
Was able to then go and geteach of her children out of the house
safely while the war and Fire departmentshowed up to get the blaze under control.
Schmitty wild wild scene. This firemoved so so quickly, and while
the Warren Fire Department is investigating,they think it's from a space heater.
They just acknowledged that this family wouldprobably not be here if it wasn't for
(09:39):
Juwan, if he had not wokenup because they were only minutes from this
house being totally lost in the flames. Juan and his mom Brittany talking to
WXYZ about this just terrifying situation,all right, mama, and I instantly
jumped up and ran. When Iran. By the time I made to
their everything was on fire and netroll and the hero only had his Superman
(10:03):
draws all like a superhero. Hewas in Superhero Old. I guess if
it wasn't for him, we wouldn'tbe here. He is my hero always
and forever going to be my hero, likek a superhero rock in those draws.
When asked, you know how hedid it even if he was scared,
he said, because I love everybodythat's a five year old that you
(10:24):
want to have. All right,So I know we were all super stoked
about solar eclipse Monday, but probablynot nearly as much as Laverne Biser,
who lives in Texas and just twomonths shy of his one hundred and sixth
birthday. Monday was his thirteenth eclipse. Laverne was born in nineteen eighteen and
(10:45):
his an absolute astronomy buff. Hesaid, I just couldn't let it go.
I was nervous being in Texas.It was pretty cloudy. I've seen
twelve of the eclipses so far,and I did not want to miss my
thirteenth, which he did not.The clouds cleared, he said, it
was absolutely extraordinary. Oh, itturned out almost perfectly good at any of
(11:09):
it. I've ever seen the bestof any of them I've ever seen.
And just how confident is he abouthis ability to see every eclipse possible.
Ask his daughter who literally had tomove her wedding day decades ago, and
so we thought it would be neatto get married on July eighth. Daddy
said, well, if you wantme to give you away, it'll have
(11:31):
to be June, because in Julyon the eighth, I'll be in Prince
Edward Island watching sea cliffs. Imean, it was an entire family event.
This was so cool. And hesaid he's nowhere near done. The
Good Lord will allow him to stay. He's ready for the next one.
It was just perfect that this wasLucky thirteen. I mean, it's us.
(11:52):
Jay Crip came to us hearing heanxious, how lucky are you?
Holy lucky Lucky thirteen. It wasso cool. I'll put the story up
so you can see the moment oftotality for him, and what he had
to say about other eclipses he's seensince seems like kind of the pro thirteen
of them under his belt. That'swhat I was gonna say. It's kind
of crazy to think about you,Middy. He has more than likely seen
(12:13):
more eclipses than any other human beingin human history, easily at one hundred
and six. I can't believe it. Unreal. I feel like I'd always
here to point out amazing things goingon out in our world, that we
will do it again for you.Coming up nine to twenty this morning here
on Star win or Fine forn Somovies, music and all the gossip in
one place. It's the celebritiescoop onStar one oh five point seven. Well
(12:37):
Ethan Crumbley, the Oxford High Schoolshooter's parents, will be headed to prison
same as their son. James andJennifer Crumbley learned their sentence yesterday in a
Michigan court. In regard to JenniferCrumbley, it is the sense of his
court, Miss Crumbley, that youserved ten to fifteen years with the Michigan
Department of Corrections. You will havefor eight hundred and fifty eight days.
(13:01):
The same sentence came down for James, of course eight hundred and fifty eight
days credit because they have been injail throughout the entirety of this trial.
The guilty verdicts will also say thatthey cannot have any kind of contact with
any of the victim's families. Theywill have another sentence about what contact will
look like with their son, whoof course has a life sentence without the
(13:22):
possibility of parole. These guilty verdicts, of course historic, the first time
parents have been found criminally liable fortheir children's behavior. James crumbly opted to
address families that were in the courtyesterday. I want to say, I
can't imagine the pain and agony forthe families that have lost their children and
(13:43):
what they're experiencing and what they're goingthrough. As a parent, our biggest
fear is losing our child, forour children, and to lose a child
is unimaginable. My heart is reallybroken for everybody involved. It's interesting because
people in the comments section who werewatching this live said okay, so they
(14:03):
continued to apologize for their son's actionsand did not once take responsibility for their
part of this. Buckmere, thedad to victim Taatemir, also took the
stand for our family. It's nottime to celebrate. This tragedy is taken.
Hey, incredible toll on our family. So our family's not going to
(14:24):
give the Krumly family a second ofour time up here. It's time to
turn our focus now. This isthe low hanging fruit. Now it's time
to turn our focus to Oxford Schoolswho played a role in this tragedy,
and that will be the next bigpart of this. Wow. You know,
(14:45):
it's like you said, there's nothingthat's going to end the pain that
those families are feeling. But Ihope with each one of these milestones that
they get through with these core processes, that it helps bring them a little
bit of room to grieve a littlebit of peace. A lot of people
believe going after the school district isalso so justice served. We'll keep you
updated. Jelly Roll said he gotsome real bad vibes from Diddy, to
(15:07):
the point where he opted to notmeet him. The rapper dished about all
of this during the new episode ofthe canceled podcast, saying he really trusts
his gut feeling on vibes and thiswas just not it. I did Kimmel,
okay, the day did he didKimmel. Did you This is the
first time in my career ever wherethey said do you want to meet such
(15:31):
and such? And I said yeah, and I started walking that way,
and as I was getting down thehallway this is a true story, I
said, nah, better not andwent and got back in the car really
swear, I don't know what itwas. And I was like, you
don't want to meet the guy thatgot Tupac killed. And nobody thought that
was funny, so I was like, well, that's a bomb. Maybe
I shouldn't go do this. Iwas already skeptical because I thought I had
(15:52):
a funny one and I probably wouldn'tsay that. We were walking, I
was just like, I don't knowit. It is just something like very
seldom does things rubbed me in away where I was like, I don't
even know if that's a picture Iwant interesting it is because just the other
reason I say it's interesting is becauseI mean, at the time, I
don't think a whole lot of accusationshad been leveled publicly, probably against Diddy,
so there'd been a few because obviouslywe saw a ton over the last
(16:15):
couple decades, just depending on peopleand who they were and who he had
worked with. But even his wifesaid, I was there for that,
and both of us were like,ah, man, we're just getting a
bad feeling about this. Finally,Morgan Wallin's issues with alcohol are being once
again talked about, following that issuein Nashville where he tossed the chair off
of a sixth story building. Well, now People magazine is confirming that sources
(16:42):
say Morgan's got an issue. He'sgenerally a nice, fun person to hang
out with, but when he getsgoing, he does not know when to
stop. Morgan and alcohol is aserious problem, a problem that keeps coming
back around, and according to thesource, they say the very close friend,
a problem that will eventually cost himhis if he does not figure this
out. I mean he's seen ittime and time again, because that guy,
(17:03):
I mean living on top of thecountry mountain these days too. So
the only thing really you hold himback is himself and his own problems that
he seems to keep running into.Remember charged with felony, reckless endangerment,
and disorderly conduct. Well, allof that and more with your celeb scoop
at West Michigan Star dot com.It's back and Spinty with you and yeah,
a neighborhood Facebook groups are always somethingto behold. Well, this is
(17:26):
I don't know, this is brandnew for me. I've never been in
one because before when we lived inour old house, we were more so
in the city, and we've justmoved and so finally I'm now in a
neighborhood, a massive one. I'mnot going to tell you where because I
don't want to get I don't wantto get kicked out of the Facebook group
if they find out what I wastalking about. And I just it's exactly
(17:48):
like the Internet has told me.There's just so many absolutely wild pieces of
drama that go down in these neighborhoodgroups. But this one caught my eye
because I felt like it was almostmean. I'm not sure you want to
find out your pet has passed awayin a neighborhood Facebook group. What is
that? How you would want thenews broken to you? I'm okay what
(18:10):
happened because I was scrolling through anda few days ago someone posted in the
neighborhood group, I just saw adead Calico cat on this road. Just
east of our neighborhood, posting herein case you're looking for your fur baby.
Sorry huggs, but here's the deal. I guess I would. That's
(18:33):
not as bad to me as theamount of people that tagged friends in the
comments section. Oh yeah, whoall have miniged your heart attacks when they
see the post and their name,like erectly are you telling me you want
to wake up or whatever? Comeback from your busy day, see that
you've been tagged on Facebook, getin there and be like, Hey,
(18:55):
Sherry, is this your dead cat? Isn't that sad? Please tell me
the person did not here a photoof said in the comments, because there
could be a lot of different calicoalcats out there. Yes, this it
was wild to me and I'm goingthrough and I'm just like, that is
something I would never do. Like, if you think maybe it belongs to
(19:17):
someone you know, would you notlike shoot a text or call and be
like, hey, I hope it'snot but maybe for some closure, not
hey at blah blah blah woofs,looks like you've had a bad day and
how does it end? Do youhave to jump on there and be like
it's mine? Everybody thanks a lot, right. Is it like the garage
(19:37):
sale groups where it's like, uh, this has been sold, or like,
oh the update, this has beengiven away? Update we found the
cat owner. I hope that's howit is that the owner that the post
the original poster even just instantly deletesit when somebody contacts them, or underneath
it this like owner has been found. It's just so sad. And then
outside of the people being tagged,who might be the owner of this now
(20:00):
rip cat? Are the people thatare just going after regular cats. This
one's like might be the feral catthat lives next door and then tags their
neighbor Like I haven't never been frontrow to such incredible drama in my life.
Honestly, Smitty, buckle up becauseI know of the iceberg. Best
thing I had was the next doorapp, which is also incredible. It
(20:22):
is pretty fantastic. But when ithits a little more close to home,
now, oh, it's gonna begood. You'll start to see the divisions
and the factions arise in your neighborhood. And well, this is why I
always make sure my cats are inside. Oh well, thank you, mister
perfection pet owner five point seven.Its back in Schmitty and frankly, I
(20:45):
think if you're not screwing up asa parent, you must not be trying
very hard. So we own thosefails each and every week it is another
Smitty so vacation. Last week Itook a little trip to Niagara Falls for
spring break with the kids. Awesome. We stayed in a hotel right next
to the falls, so the roomgot to look at the falls. Super
super cool. Kids had a greattime. But one of the hotels right
(21:08):
next to us is called the TowerHotel, and it is literally think of
like a sucker shape, you know. It's a skinny tower that goes up
and then expands all the way onthe top so that people can look out
over the waterfalls from this hotel.That's the specific theme of this and so
it's kind of cool looking definitely different. The kids were interested in it,
and there was an eye hop upon the twenty sixth floor of this thing,
(21:33):
which was kind of cool. We'relike, oh, we'll have to
go over there for breakfast one dayand check out this eye hop while we
look out of the falls. Sowe went up there the last day that
we were on this trip, andwe get up there we sit down and
it's cool looking, but it's reallynot that much different than our hotel,
and everything is like fifty dollars.Everything, like every omelet is like you're
paying pass crazy tips, I meanfees and everything else put on there.
(21:55):
We're like, we're not we getwe can't pay fifty dollars for pancakes,
and I hop we gotta get outof here. We're not rolling like that.
So we do the awkward thing ofleaving the restaurant right and we get
back to the elevator that's gonna takeus down the twenty six floors, and
my son sees the stairwell right there. And I don't know about your kids
if they're not at the age yet, but my kids always want to either
go up the stairs at a hotelor down the stairs at a hotel.
(22:18):
They just think it's an adventure thatyou're getting out of there with it.
And my son's like, can Igo down the stairwell? And my wife
is immediately going Michelle's like no,no, no, no, twenty six
floors up. No, you're notdoing I'm like, come on, let
the kid live a little let's vacation. Let him go down. So he
did go down. He went downthe stairwell all twenty six floors, and
I was waiting by the door onthe at the lobby level for him to
(22:41):
get down there Schmidty, only tosee a door that says you may not
enter, alarm will sound. Ohso it's like only a fire escape.
It is a fire escape stairwep.He has gone down twenty six floors and
he is standing there and he's like, I can't come out. He says,
their alarm's gonna go off, andI'm like, buddy, to that,
or you go back up twenty sixfloors to the elephant. I'm like,
(23:03):
because there's actually no floors to getoff on until I think you get
to floor twenty two. He hadto walk back up to the twenty second
floor by himself. This whole processtook maybe forty minutes. My wife is
stairy daggers into my soul. Yeahtimes smitty, I'm just like a budd
God. It's good, a littleexercise. We got guys will walk in
today. It was h This isn'ta confession. This is a hack.
Because if those were my kids,we'd been napping for about five hours,
(23:26):
then Mama would be by the poolwith a cocktail exactlys he slapped like a
baby on the way home, Smitty. I think it was good parenting movies,
music and all the gossip in oneplace. It's the celebrity scoop on
Star one oh five point seven.Oh well, I'm sure you'll remember.
(23:47):
One of Taylor Swift's ex's, CalvinHarris, had about a year long relationship
with the singer before Taylor and theDJ parted ways, but he still gets
to hear her music all the timebecause Calvin's wife, Vick is a certified
Swiftie. She confessed her love forTaylor on her BBC Radio One show,
(24:07):
saying she tries to wait until Calvinhas left, but this is just too
good and it's the best part ofher day. Can I say yes?
As soon as my husband goes away, I listened to Taylor Swift, so
that's just when I get my littlefit, Just a little phil, just
a couple of songs get out ofmy system. Then it's done. Now
(24:27):
you'll remember there's been Remember that Tayloris actually written a couple of songs about
her relationship with Calvin. So Ithink this is just juicy and fabulous.
I you know, I think maybeit means that Calvin hasn't said the worst
things about Taylor. Maybe his girlfriendcan you know, enjoy her because they
were kind of amicable. They weretogether a year. I think they had
a lot of fun and then wenttheir own ways in like a really nice
(24:48):
way. So get it, girl. Heather McDonald, the comedian and podcaster,
is spelling deets about hanging out withBritney Spears. So this actually went
down in December. Heather was diningout at a restaurant in Hollywood where she
spotted Brittany celebrating her birthday with hermanager, Kate Hudson, who Heather happened
to know. She was simply goingto go over to the table and say,
(25:11):
hey, I'm such a huge fan, I'm super stoked about you writing
this book, but instead, Brittanyinvited her to hang out, and in
the latest episode of her Juicy Scooppodcast, she said Brittany was pretty wonderful.
She did an impression of her Idon't sing as well as you,
so I just I'm going to doyour dancing on your Instagram. But she
had a good attitude about it.She was fun and then they invited me
(25:33):
to go to the after party,the dancing after party. And as much
as the old Heather would have lovedto have gone, the new Heather,
which was only about two days old, decided, you know what, girl,
you got everything you want. Thiswas amazing. Maybe God will bless
you and she'll post this. Andeven though it took many months, she
did post it. I hope tohang out with her more. It was
(25:55):
great to see that she was outand having fun, and that's the reason
she talked about it. So britathe just recently posted this clip of Heather
imitating her, and Heather wanted tomake sure people knew like when I saw
her at a birthday, she wasin a great space. She was surrounded
by people that were really really goodfor her, Like all around she seemed
really really positive. So hopefully she'sfinding her group. That's nice because I
(26:15):
did not think that was where thatstory was gonna go. Yeah, No,
it was good. It was prettygood. She had good things to
say. Finally, we've been waitingso long to get a really good look
at the new Joker movie. Thisis the one with Joaquin Phoenix and Lady
Gaga. The first official trail droppedyesterday plus, what's changed, Martha,
(26:37):
what's changed anymore? I want tosay, they're really you. I mean
it looks really really good. Headsup. This one is rated R,
so probably not for the kids.I'm excited to see this movie. I
like the original. I'm still thrownoff by the idea of it being a
(26:59):
semi musical. I still don't knowwhat I picture that being. Like,
have you watched the trailer yet?I have not give it a watch,
because they do put a couple ofsongs in there, and you're like,
oh, this is gonna be perfect. I think that the musical part of
it is actually going to work beautifully. With this I've got to post it
for you with your scoop at WestMichigan Star dot Com. Time to Battle.

I find myself quite often to uhto knock it all ten pins down,

these strike in there, which Iexperienced far less frequently. But that is
the top answer. Congratulations, man. Yeah, it was strike followed by
pin then spare being the third answer, and turkey, like SCHMITTI said,

Of course, I told you aboutthe one hundred and five year old
that just saw his thirteenth eclipse infeeling good earlier this morning. How about
(29:40):
getting married atop of castle this timearound? It's amazing. Vanessa Quickly and
Anthony badall live in Stockbridge, andwe're married Monday afternoon atop the sixth story
high Helmer Castle, just south Jackson, exchanging vows at the exact moment the
sun was blocked by the moon.The couple got the idea contacted venue owner
(30:02):
Joy Hardy several weeks ago after theirjeweler said that she could create an eclipse
inspired piece just in time for thewedding. Cell The theme seemed perfect and
how cool it looked and sounded.This is their vow exchange today. Mark's
a brilliant spark of joy in auniverse that's billions of years old and sprawls
(30:25):
and comprehensible ninety three billion like yearsacross. We're all pretty comfortable sitting here,
even though our Earth is spinning aroundat a thousand miles per hour,
curling past the Sun at sixty seventhousand miles an hour in a solar system
that's chucking itself around the galaxy atfour hundred and ninety thousand miles per hour.
(30:47):
Their lives and hearts have been fusedtogether. It's remarkable, isn't it.
You don't have to believe in fateto see the divine beauty in that
I mean imagine having the those kindsof vows. This was especially awesome for
Anthony, he tells emly the starsaligned perfectly. See he is an upholsterer
that grew up wanting to be anastronaut. He said. It's literally one
(31:11):
of a kind, from custom maderings to this custom made moment. By
the way, the Jackson area wasjust shy of ninety eight percent of that
totality, so it was amazing.I'll post the video up at West Michigan
Star dot com. I would haveliked to see all the guests and even
the brid and groom with their glasseson like this. It was just then.
(31:32):
It was gorgeous. It was justthem and this woman. It was
just beautiful atop Helmer Castle. Thepictures are stunning, really neat smiddy.
This is just wild to think abouta first in human history that we know
of. Russ Cook, twenty sevenyear old englishman from West Sussex, has
just entered his name in the historybooks by being the first person to ever
run the entire length of Africa.This is wild, sixteen country. He's
(32:00):
over ten thousand miles, the equivalentof roughly three hundred and eighty five marathon
Schmidty done in three hundred and fiftytwo days. This man braved an insane
journey that started last April twenty second. But we're talking going from rain rainforest
mountains of course the unforgiving Sahara Desertalong the way, he got robbed at
(32:23):
gunpoint. He got kidnapped in thecongo and taken into the jungle before his
team could free him. He hasbeen on an incredible journey that ultimately ended
just back on April seventh, justthe other day earlier this week in Tunisia
where he crossed that finish line andlooking back on a talking to Sky News,
(32:44):
he was asked what the hardest partwas and he said, just knowing
that it was going to be constantevery single day, so many difficult ones.
Man. I think the biggest thingis that it's just it's three hundred
and fifty two days in the road. It always is billed in this constant
and it you know, there isno level. Yeah, it's amazing to
find Finnish. Yeah. A crewof over a dozen of his friends and
(33:05):
family members came in to run thedistance on his final day of over a
marathon but then jumping into the Mediterraneanas soon as he got there. They're
nice friends, the first person toever run the length of Africa. Pretty
