(00:02):
Wakem It gets my day going.It makes me lab it Mac and Schmitty
in the morning on Star one Ofive point seven. Good morning, Schmitty.
Hey, good morning, and welcomeback to it. I know Monday,
but hey, I hope you're stillcarrying all those gorgeous vibes from yesterday

(00:23):
with you, because we're looking atanother nice one today. Somebody gets you
up and going. I mean,it was pretty ridiculous out there yesterday.
I mean for a summer day.We did all those summer things. We
did grilling, we did a cordof the cob and hitting the ice cream
shop out last night night I satat flag football for two hours. But
same, same, same, Wehad very similar sundays. You know,

(00:44):
that's where I got my little sunkissed. Look this morning. That was
our Saturday. Our Saturday was baseballand softball, and it has taken over
our lives. But you know whatthat's so many people here in West Michigan
right now, is that's just thetime of year we're inchmitting and we're happy
about that, right, Movies,music and all the gossip in one place.
It's the Celebrities group on Star oneoh five point seven. Well,

(01:07):
Week one of Coachella wrapped up,and of course this is the big music
festival out in Cali, where celebritiesdescend on the desert to look as indie
and bohemian as possible. Big people, Sabrina Carpenter. We saw performances from
Billie Eilish, Te Swift's bff IceSpice and speaking of Taylor, her and

(01:29):
Travis Kelcey in the crowd having lotsof PDA over the weekend. But Grimes
was also there. The singer songwriterwho's been linked with Elon Musk, of
course she shares a child with him, had multiple multiple technical difficulties, to
the point where she almost stopped hershow. Hi, we're actual a major

(01:53):
technical difficulty. I'm trying to say, I'm not gonna have a math it
out. Yeah, it didn't gowell. Eventually she kind of cut her
set shore. Meanwhile, Suky Waterhousegave Coachella fans a big surprise announcing the
gender of her and Robert Pattinson's baby. This was very sweet. She was

(02:15):
talking about how many amazing women weretaking the Coachella stage over the weekend.
I don't know if some of youknow, but I've had some pretty big
life changes happened recently, some prettybig events have been going down. So
I love amazing ladies, and I'vebeen very lucky to have my own little
amazing lady and leave the love ofMilan. Yeah we knew she had given

(02:38):
birth, we didn't know, buthealthy baby girl. And there's just still
a ton to get to Pairs Heltonpartying behind the scenes some of the huge
collaborations we saw, which will comeup in your next scoop. What a
place to announce that though, tobe like, you know, there's so
many wonderful, amazing female artist hitsnow, by the way, allow me
to just undercut that list of newsof my own. I loved it all

(03:00):
right. And finally, Ryan Goslinghosting Saturday Night Live over the weekend and
doing a duet of Taylor Swift's AllToo Well with none of her than Emily
Blunt as they did their own takeon barbenheimersode Miss drunk Umpy. It's pretty

(03:30):
fantastic, to the point where iteven got Taylor's attention while she was at
Coachella. She messaged to how ohthis is quite possibly the best All Too
Well cover out there. It wasa pretty great episode of Saturday Night Live,
although I will say I don't knowif I've ever seen another host characters
every single skits and Gosling broke characterin every single skit. I've got a

(03:53):
bunch of that up with your scoopat West Michigan Star dot Com. Good
morning here, it's back and Schmittyand we are Spindy April fifteenth, and
it's a day that should trigger alarmbells for a lot of people if it
didn't already. It's tax Day.Yeah, I love tax day because why
do you love taxi? I geta lot of money back. Well,

(04:15):
is that a good thing? Doesn'tthat just mean you're paying weigh too much
in taxi? I know? Andyou know what money savvy people will tell
me that, Well, we've justgiven them an industry. I'm never going
to be able to figure it out. So yes, it is a delight
when I finally get my little pieceof the government back. I can see
that. Yeah, And you knowwhat I think for people who are looking
for returns, they're excited to gettheir taxes done. You know, they

(04:38):
wait for the W twos to comeout, they get them there. About
thirty percent of Americans are in thesame boat as me, and that is
that they wait until the very endto do their taxes. No, and
Michelle and I we started this,see this is what we do. Like
maybe a month beforehand, we go, you know what, this is the
year we got it. We gotto just hire somebody. We got to
hire somebody to do our taxes.And then we get about two weeks out

(05:00):
and go, well, scrap that, we're not hiring anybody. We just
need to get start working on thesetaxes. And then we get a week
ago and go, all right,it's time to buckle down to get those
taxes done. And then this weekendwe're like, I think I have all
the forms. It shouldn't take verylong. I'll get all that done.
We are we just do this specificallythough, with taxes. I don't know

(05:21):
what there is in your life thatyou feel like, no matter what it
is, no matter how much youput it to the forefront of your mind,
that you just can't help but leaveit to the last time, not
taxes. Our tax appliant was theend of February. You guys were all
over it. I always know youare because then you tell me you are
a good friend and you give goodsound financial advice with nue Cpahi. John,

(05:41):
you're a dummy. Get somebody whoknows that they're doing so much money.
They're so good at what they do, it is so worth it.
But since we're talking about this reallyquick, if you think you owe money,
you do still have to pay thatby eleven fifty nine tonight. Yeah.
Not only to get an extension doesnot leave you from penalty. The
only saving grace for people here inGrand Rapids is you remember those big,

(06:03):
wicked storms that we had back inSeptember. Because of that, you do
technically have until June to file yourfederal taxes. Only for some reason that
gave you that gave you grace fromyour federal taxes even though it happened to
you here in the state of Michigan. The state of Michigan does not care.
I don't want to confuse anyone becauseI don't want you to come back
and be like well Max said,just make sure that you know exactly because

(06:27):
there are still things due todday evenif you file an extension. The tax
code is a very ridiculous thing.Is there something in your life though that
you do put off many that youknow that like it's the bane of your
existence because you just always roll itover. Because there's one on here that
a lot of people wrote the triggersfor me. I mean I would probably
say anything to do with the Secretaryof State, that's a solid one.

(06:48):
Getting your tags done, getting yourdriver's license, your address changed. How
about the packing for a trip?Are you the last minute packer? Are
you the early packers? I mean, I'll do it like the before,
the day before you could. Doesyour husband pack like days in advance though?
Right, We've got kids, weredoing laundry all the way up until

(07:08):
the very end. I can't goa week out. Don't lie to me,
you're not doing laundry, schmidty,Yeah, all right, what is
that thing that you leave till thevery end? Always do this. We're
talking about this on Facebook. Oh, Audrena getting gas, big proponents here.
Don't leave it for the morning.Oh, always get it, Adrina.
I think I've seen you at theJNH marathon at four twenty am,

(07:31):
and I was looking real real bitter. Sounds bow right sometime? Does that
get a good feeling? Yeah?Well, let's see if we can put
a smile on your face to startout this New Week. It's stilling a
fine point seven mack of schmiddy withfeeling good right now, and so often
use medical metaphorical schmidty to give theshirt off your back, to give the

(07:51):
shoes off your feet. Well,it was the ultimate move for a caregiver
in Kentucky. Her name is LouKoloon and she's a nurse who works in
the She works at the Baptist HealthDeaconess Hospital there in Madisonville, Kentucky.
Well, back on March Day,she had a patient who came in and
it was the second time in justa couple of months that she had actually

(08:13):
seen this patient. And she noticedthe first time that they came in that
they had holes all throughout their shoes. The laces were afraid, there were
rips in the side, and youknow, they weren't doing a very very
much in terms of protecting this person'sfeet. And when she saw them again
two months later, rocking those exactsame shoes, she decided she was going

(08:33):
to do something about it. Shehad brand new Brooks running shoes on her
feet and she said, schmiddy,something was just nudging me. I heard
a voice saying, hey, takeoff your shoes. And that's exactly what
she did. She took off herbrand new brook shoes, gave them to
the patient, who was reluctant atfirst, but ultimately accepted this kind gesture

(08:56):
from the nurse and took the shoes. You know, those little rubber socks
with the little things on the endto keep you from slipping when you're in
houp. That's what she put onover her socks, just to get her
to the car. And she didn'tseek any recognition for this, but her
fellow co workers noticed it, pointedit out to the hospital who recognized her
and get this schmitty uh Brooks thisshoe company, I also found out about

(09:20):
it. Yes, some brand newshoes to make up for those ones for
Lou. She said this was alljust part of being a nurse, because
that's what they're called to do.The nurse's creed says that we will take
care of those that are devoted toour care. So you know, that's
part of our profession is to seekand look and pay attention to the welfare

(09:41):
of these patients and to meet theneeds that we can't while they're in our
care. I mean, Lou Kaloun, the nurse there of Kentucky, literally
giving the shoes off her feet forI love the oath that the medical profession
has to take, because they takeit so far beyond the hospital. All
right. So two Florida Girl Scoutscame together in a very sweet way to
help raise awareness about core reefs.Interesting idea. Olivia Antlon and Alejandra Jimenez

(10:05):
are from the Troop Girl Scouts ofTropical Florida and just happened to also serve
as youth ambassadors at the Coral RestorationFoundation, where they learned big stats like
twenty five percent of marine life relyon coral reefs and without help, seventeen
to ninety percent of our coral reefscould be gone within the next thirty years.

(10:28):
In a statement, the girls say, our generation is basically the generation
in between the destruction of coral orthe liveliness of coral. So it's up
to us to either help or hurt. So they came up with a Girl
Scout cookie. What else? Thisis so cool? They developed a coral
themed cookie with help from a professionalchef, and then made a fluorescent blue

(10:50):
coral shaped cookie that's decorated with seasalt, caramel, and algae. Super
food Spirrillina. The girls help theirconcept will make it to the Girl Scouts
Association. They're going to be featuredon an environmental variety show called Wormhole TV
in the next couple months, sayingmaybe one day they'll turn these cookies into

(11:11):
the actual Girl Scout cookie and themoney can go towards coral reefs. Pretty
fantastic when you think about this beingthe next generation to healthcare for all of
us. I've got the story upat West Michigan Star dot com. I
say focus on the caramel and thesalt part of the flavor description, less
on the lg although I have notreally good. Is it really good?
Ye? And very very good foryou? Well, there you go and

(11:31):
put it in cookie for him.I guess I'm up for it. Feeling
good, always here to tell youabout something awesome happening out the world.
We'll do it again for you thismorning, nine to twenty on St.
Five point seven, Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one ohfive point seven Weekend one of Coachella
out in California. In the books, and it seemed like so many bands

(11:56):
were just a part of our Malanel heart and we knew we were really
excited to watch No Doubt. Wehad no news a couple months ago that
they were going to reunite officially,taking the stage for the first time together
since twenty fifteen. And the setlistwas absolutely incredible. It's my Life,
just a girl, spiderwebs. Butthen when Bathwater came on, another than

(12:18):
Olivia Rodrigo came out on stage tojoin Gwen to come I Mean the crowd
went absolutely wild, Olivia giving creditwhere credit is due, wearing an iHeart

(12:43):
and D shirt. She then wentback into the crowd to cheer Gwen and
the group on. It was reallycool too. At the end they all
got together to take a huge photowith the crowd and like most of them,
were pretty emotional about it was.It was an incredible set. Honestly,
No Doubt is one of those,you know, formative bands like you
said for your millennial heart tracks.Kingdom was said to an iconic album,
and it turns my stomach a littlebit to know that Olivia Rodrigo was not

(13:07):
born in this exactly in the samecentury. Is that the main credit where
credit is due. Another huge surpriseat Coachella, Shakira jumping up on stage
as a surprise to guests. Bythe way, her hips still doing their

(13:37):
thing and use the opportunity to launchher world tour. Yes, Shakira heading
out on a world tour. Letme remember some of my high school Spanish.
It will be called Las Moujerez JanoJoran world tour starts in November in
California. Of course, perfect becausethat is the name of her recently released

(13:58):
twelfth album, super Stoked. Thatyeah, pretty cool place to make that
announcement. And Jelly Roll is ona fitness journey that has seen the star
already lose more than seventy pounds.He's talking about this with People magazine,
giving an update on how he's workingon his health to prepare for the Two

(14:18):
Bears five K. He posted thisto his Insta. He's teaming up with
comics Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura forthis his first time ever running Yeah Baby,
this message is for Bert Kreischer andTom Segura. I was on the
Full Sin podcast this week and Calfrom the Nilt Boys convinced me that I
could make it to the five Kby May if I dedicated myself to it.

(14:43):
I believe him. I believe himmyself. I'll be there, baby.
I'm in the woods walking every morning, five k by May, Baby,
five k by May. And hehas truly dedicated himself to this,
telling people I've been really kicking butt. I'm doing two to three miles a
day, four to six days aweek. I'm doing twenty to thirty minutes

(15:03):
in the sauna, six minutes ina cold plunge every single day, and
I've completely changed my eating habits.You think you'd be proud enough at losing
over seventy pounds. He plans onlosing another one hundred by the end of
the year. Why do I feellike Burt Kreischer and Tom Segura did not
think this was how this was goingto go. They were like, dude,

(15:24):
you weren't supposed to make us lookbad at our own five K.
But they can't imagine anybody better thanJelly roll with you on a five K.
The dude is so inspiring. I'vegot the full video up for you
with your scoop at West Michigan Stardot com. Which Maddi, you sound
like you had yourself point the weekendthere. I love a good list.
It's a'm excited for this. It'snot five things I actually do at a

(15:45):
club now. So if you're notaware, i work for another one of
our sister stations, one O fourpoint five SNX, and I've been hosting
these club gigs the past few monthsout in Grand Haven. If you've ever
been to the Kirby House, theynow have like a dance club in their
basement called the Dark Room. SoI've been out there once a month doing
different themed parties. And we werethere Saturday night for their PJ party,

(16:07):
which was already super exciting for mebecause if I get to do anything in
pjs, I'm down, and that'snumber one on the list. I was
so excited as a grown woman,working mom to be able to finally go
to an event in my comfies.And there were other people in their pajamas
quote unquote, Wait a second,you're sure I've ever owned pajamas like that?

(16:30):
But again, I'm in my thirties. Now Again I would have said
the vote a little bit. Yeah, there we go, because this is
what you're dealing with. You're inyour pjs. Would you describe those one
more time? Party place? Oh? I just had like pants and a
comfy shirt, other people's pjs.I was like, oh boy, i'd
have to wear spanks. So oh. By the way, Flow played a

(16:53):
lot, and so I'm thinking tomyself, man, things have changed so
much. I'm in my comfy superexcited. I ordered so much water,
you guys, I'm just very intohydration right now and like to make myself
feel better, I'd ask for likea soda and a splash of cramps.
I was going to ask if youput like a lime on the outside to

(17:15):
fool everyone. It had been sucha long day. I knew I had
to get up for sports the nextday, like I had to be ready
to go for flag football. Anotherreally hard one. Usher's Peace Up a
Town Yeah came on and the amountof children dancing to this, how did

(17:38):
I know you were? And Iwas like, it makes me so happy
that this just lives in legend.Yes, And this guy came over to
me, I'm sure to like hiton me. I'm like, bro,
I'm literally going home to have EarlGray tea. I'm not in your wheelhouse
here, and he was like,I love this song. I was like,
this song came out when I wasin high school. And he leaves.

(18:00):
He leaves so quickly turned on me. Yes, you were born yet
have a great night. At onepoint, I was sitting on one of
their couches checking my kid's class Dozeobecause the teacher had sent an email Saturday

(18:22):
afternoon. I hadn't gotten a chanceto look at yet, and I was
like, oh, why not whileI'm at the club. Oh, they're
in need of clustics. Better putthat on my grocery store list. And
then finally the get Lo song cameon and I was like, oh my
gosh, I remember in college dancingto this in Hillcrest. Only you of
a certain age will even know thatliving center because it's changed since then.

(18:47):
And I broke a coffee table andI was like, man, I used
to be so cool. So Iget on my text messages and I'm texting
all the girls I knew from collegeand I'm like you guys, and my
response the responses I get back areI can't believe you're out at this hour.
You go girl. So it's justit hit me so hard Saturday night
to realize my club in days whenI was twenty one year old, Schmitty

(19:08):
is so very different from mid thirties, schmitty, I love it. I
love the h I love the imageof you and your very mom asked pgs
rocking out over there. But evenmore so, I hope that when your
friends received your text messages of youat the club, several of them thought
to themselves, Oh, it's liketen to fifteen. It's a little it's
a little late to be sent.I don't know, because I didn't even

(19:32):
get out to Kirby until eleven PM. So when I texted them at twelve
thirty, two of them didn't evenrespond until the next morning. They were
like, girl, I was asleep. So this is just me telling you,
no matter what your age, youcan still get it and have a
great time and be super proud ofsomething like a PJ party that allows you
to wear your doctor sholes in searchshoes. Oh these, yeah, I

(19:55):
could go all night. They're orthotics. There's another one. There's another one
coming up next month, y'all.I if I really spoke to you about
the kind of parties that I host. There you go. Point seven.
When you're looking at news, usuallythe important stuff's up top. Yeah,

the facts. The human torch wasdenied at bankload headline goodchadnes. I just

(20:21):

nudity in the upcoming movie SpongeBob Searchfor SquarePants Hot. Also, I kind
of thought they already were. He'sa spongebite Schmitty. Dogs can link words

(20:41):
to certain objects new study fines Iloved this news. Is that news?
Or is this study done by peoplewho are meeting dogs for the very first
time ever? A store in Chinais selling giant versions of snacks, including
Oreos and Rahmen. The store inchain shaw Hunan, China literally selling bags

(21:04):
of lays the size of a humanbeing. Badbine Schmiddi student arrested after sending

Taylor standing just feet behind Justin Bieberand his wife Haley losing her mind when
Ice Spice took the stage to doKarma, shouting out her BFF, you're

(22:38):
my number two leap. It wasincredible. Taylor lost her mind, by
the way, just mingling with regularpeople, as often happens in Coachella.
It just feels crazy that it's TaylorSwift doing that. Very very kind.
Yeah, I know that there's alot of celebrities who can walk around right
there. It didn't feel like Taylorand Travis Kelcey are two of them yet
they did. Other big conversation fromCoachella is Kesha actually joining Renee Rap on

(23:07):
stage for her hit song TikTok,and you'll notice at the beginning she made
a very big lyric change he didbefore Holly Bottle Jack. By the way,

(23:30):
it was an incredible performance between thetwo of them, and Kesha looks
amazing. I just love so manyof like my college artists back in the
spotlight and people being like, whoa, those were really good. You know
what, you always go back toyour roots a brushing your teeth of the
bottle of Jack. Right. I'mnot I'm not a Jack Garrel, so
that's not for me. But Kesha, you do you. Another huge surprise

(23:55):
was Will Smith joining Jay Balvin onstage to do Men in Black. By
the way, the greatest part ofthis was the dancing alien that served as

(24:15):
back up and that tracks. Evenj Belvin was absolutely blown away by this.
Also the first time we've seen Willand Jada together in quite a while.
I would have liked more from Will. Can we get some Miami up

coming up. Coachella is not done. Finally, O J. Simpson's brain

(24:41):
will not be investigated. This isvery interesting. The body of the former
NFL player is expected to be crematedtomorrow in Vegas with absolutely no plans to
donate his brain for research, despitemultiple requests from scientificists who want to study
CTE. That's something that we've seenin quite a few professional athletes. It's

(25:06):
a degenerative brain disease that afflicts especiallylots of retired football players. But OJ's
longtime attorney and executor said he hassigned off on all the paperwork for Simpson's
cremation and the family gave a hardno to science. I can understand why
you would say no. At thesame time, I would have found that
fascinating. I'll be honest, itwould they. Yeah, all of your

(27:41):
honor of Donate Life Month. Thereis a very cool program going on at
Corwell Health and it's fleece blankets givento donor families. The best way I
can describe this, if you haveever been a part of the Nick You
or a family that has done timewith the Nick You, you know that
you're given a fleece blank for yournick You baby. The same thing now

(28:02):
happens for families of donors. TheComfort Blanket Program started in twenty ten by
the Michigan Donor Family Council, hopingto provide comfort to families whose loved ones
have given the gift of life.Last week, when TV was on site,
as Corewell Health employees as well asvolunteers got together to do these fleece
blankets. In addition, donor recipientsand families whose loved ones have donated attended

(28:29):
the event to help out. It'sa very big deal for one woman.
See back in twenty twenty three,an undetected brain aneurysm burst and caused Scott
Fisser to suffer a stroke. Hewas admitted to Butterworth, but by the
time he was at the hospital hewas unresponsive and eventually brain dead. As
Tavin Fisher explains, that's when theydiscovered he was on the Oregon Donor Registry,

(28:53):
and she realized that it was goingto be a hard choice, but
one she knew he had made fora purpose. They just asked us what
color was sports teams and yeah,and it was nice to take it home
with us because that's yeah, whenthat was the last blanket he had on,
it gives us like comfort and peaceand solace that he could help others,
And now they're helping in a verysimilar way. More than twelve hundred

(29:15):
blankets were made and donated across Michiganjust last year. If you want to
learn more about this, go aheadand find the incredible organization behind this,
Michigan Donor Family Council, all Rich, Betty in the Ahl. Where are
West Michigan? Or excuse me,where our Grand Rapids Griffins play? You
have the Cleveland Monsters. And justlast week in a hockey game there at

(29:38):
Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse there in Cleveland,Asia Davis and her four year old son
Nasa. We're watching the game,having a blast when all of a sudden,
a puck shot off of the iceand into the stands. And if
you've ever been to a hockey gamebefore. Well, you know, those
things are moving and when they hitthe glass, I can scare the living

(30:00):
out of you. To actually gethit by one of those pucks though,
can do severe, severe damage.And that's exactly what was about to happen
when someone else stepped in. AsAsia described in this TikTok video that has
since gone viral, this puck comesout of heaven straight towards my son's head.
Oh my god, right, andhe blocked it. He blocked it.
