(00:03):
Wake up. It gets my daygoing and makes me laugh all of it.
Mac and Schmitty in the Morning onStar one oh five point seven.
Good morning, Smitty, Hey,good morning. Welcome into these Tuesday You're
ready for another seventy degree day.Well I knew that we were officially into
spring because last night I'm walking intoour bedroom. We have all the windows

(00:23):
open in the house because it wasjust so beautiful, and I immediately get
nervous because I'm like, what isthat smell? Either my dogs have dropped
something in the room or my pottytraining three year old has dropped something in
the room. No, it's justmanure in the field season. Really from
us is that, uh, thisis a brand new smell in your brand
new home that you're experience. Youknow, we get it in the city.

(00:44):
We got it in the city aton right when they would be doing
the fields like fertilizing and all that. But it did seem a bit more
potent in the more rural areas.So spring is here. We had to
close all the windows because the smellwas quite powerful. Not that I'm dogging
on our farmers, We love youso very much. I just always get
a little weirded out when I smellsomething like that, and I'm not exactly

(01:04):
sure where it originated from. Again, more of my problem with dogs and
a potty training child than yours,movies, music, and all the gossip
in one place. It's the celebritiesgup on Star one oh five point seven.
The FBI has officially opened a criminalinvestigation into the cargo ship that slammed

(01:26):
into the Francis Scott Key Bridge inBaltimore last month, causing that tragic collapse.
Two senior law enforcement officials familiar withthe investigation confirmed the news yesterday to
The Washington Post. Federal agents boardedthe ship yesterday with search warrants. The
Baltimore office of the FBI would onlyconfirm agents were quote conducting court authorized law

(01:49):
enforcement activity. Apparently, the investigationwill look into the events that led up
to when the ship left port,and part of the inquiry involves whether the
crew knew who the vessel had potentialmechanical problems that would have made it unsafe
in the harbor. Meanwhile, BaltimoreMayor Brandon Scott announced yesterday the city is

(02:09):
also taking legal steps to address thebridge collapse, already hiring law firms to
launch legal action to hold the wrongdoersresponsible and to mitigate the immediate and long
term harm caused to Baltimore City residents. You know, between any possible criminal
involvement, which up to this pointI thought it's the smallest part of this,
between the insurance companies, between theshipping companies, between the boating company,

(02:32):
Like this is the biggest legal nightmare. And we all know what happens
in like a car accident, andhow much you've got a fight for money
on that. Hannah Gutiers read theArmorer on set of Rust, that's where
the tragic shooting took place that tookthe life of cinematographer Helena Hutchins. Hannah

(02:53):
learning her fate yesterday. She willbe serving eighteen months in prison. The
sentence came down from a New Mexicojudge. Despite Hannah pleading for mercy aka
probation. She did get to speakto court yesterday, saddened by the way
the media sensationalized our traumatic tragedy andportrayed me as a complete monster, which

(03:15):
has actually been the total opposite ofwhat's been in my heart. The judge
didn't really pay much attention to that. She will be serving her time at
a women's correctional facility in Santa Fe. You know, obviously that's just one
of the dominoes to fall here.Really interesting to see how this impacts Alec
Baldwin and whether or not his courtcase moves forward with this too, right

(03:36):
wild. And finally, if youwere really really bummed by that Golden Bachelor
news Gary Turner and Teresa calling itquits, don't worry. We still get
to see them on Celebrity Family Feud. Yeah. ABC says they have no
plans to adjust this season's lineup ofCelebrity Family Feud, which involves Gary and

(03:59):
Teresa and their families, even thoughthe Golden Bachelor couples split just one week
after they shot their episode of thegame show. Apparently, an official air
date for the now separated couples episodewill be announced soon, but it's looking
to be a bit awkward. However, sources and productions say the two were
really really happy together, so that'swhy the split news came as a bombshell

(04:21):
to them as well. But they'restill going to air it. Those two
are like overwhelmingly positive, it seemslike at all times, So I would
have actually loved to have seen themin a really uncomfortable, spiteful episode.
That sounds amazing if you watch theinterview. They still love each other.
They just didn't want to move.She didn't want to leave her job in
Jersey. He was bia his familyin Indiana. You think they would have

(04:42):
talked about that before they got married. But nonetheless, I'll let you know
as soon as we see them onceleb Family Feud. All of yours Scoop
at West Michigan Star dot com.Good morning to you. It's back and
SCHMITTI, And you know, Ifeel like it's something that was part of
our lives so much growing up,and now I think I've I've turned a
I think I'm totally against this atthis point in time, Schmitty, the
unannounced Popeye? Do you do itin twenty twenty four? Like when did

(05:09):
you turn your page? I thinkI stopped doing this as soon as I
graduated college. Well so, buthere's the difference. I actually I think
I stopped doing it a long timeago. I think I actually started carrying.
When others do it more recently?Oh no, I've nope, nope,
no, nope. I feel likeas soon as cell phones came into
the picture. Y'all can call hertext. So this is what brought it

(05:30):
up for me, is this weekend, I had my daughter and my wife
out at softball practice, and Iwas in the yard, you know,
this weekend, and we had allthat sun. I was outside doing yard
work, a bunch of it.So I'm all, I hadn't even showered.
I was all sweaty, and I'mIt's just me and my son home,
and I'm sitting on the couch smitty, and I just grabbed my computer.
I'm about to fire up an email, and I'm just sitting there like
in shorts, in a T shirt. My hair's you know, like all

(05:53):
over the place, just lounge it. And my dog's a barker. He's
a good dog, guard dog.He makes all bark. Somebody walks by
the house, much less somebody comesin. Well, my garage door was
open, and all of a sudden, I hear my door swing talks out
barking. I assume it's my wife, Michelle, because this is the only
human being of the planet walked intoyour house. My father Schmitty, Oh

(06:16):
no, no, no, nowalks in unannounced, walks in unannounced,
comes comes right in. I turnaround because I'm like, hey, bab
and I and I hear, hey, I turned. My parents have never
done that, so I see Isee my dad standing there with a loaf
of banana bread and an individually wrappedturkey leg. Schmitty, I'm not even

(06:41):
Kenny, like this is so insane. He go he walks in and he
goes, hey, we just gotdown here. We're gonna be hanging out
at your sisters for a couple ofdays. I expect to see he goes,
but I brought you guys some stuff. And I'm like, what's with
the turkey leg? And he goes, I was at the butcher's son,
and I thought of Connor. Ithought he'd looked like a viking with this
thing. I'm like, what runsthrough you head like that? There's so
many questions. I have a conversationabout maybe what's next per day out If

(07:03):
he's coming over with an individually wrappedturculate you know, wat schmitty. Uh
if this weren't right on par formy dad, who he is? He
just walked in the house. Here'sthe best part. Thirty seconds later,
I'm not kidding. Thirty seconds later, both of Michelle's parents on their electric
bicycles shuit down my road and pullinto my driveway, also showing up unannounced

(07:28):
at our home. So then thethree of them proceed to bust out cocktails
and sit there and play cards andlike, I'm like, this is a
lovely afternoon that was completely unexpected.Meanwhile, I'd really like to shower and
go on with my day here,guys, So if this party's over,
just go ahead and take it some. I don't consider that a pop by.
That's like a total invasion of privacy. Like my parents, I will

(07:51):
always know if they're coming, andthey will still knock on the door and
be like everything good, are thekids sleeping? We don't want the dogs
to wake anybody up. If mydog, if my dad's wife was with
him, they would have went tothe front door and knocked. Do you
say something O my father? Idon't care. I'm gonna let him do
him. Good for you, becauseI'd be like, oh, I'm so

(08:13):
sorry, there is a there's adoor bell. And maybe you all think
I'm terrible for that, but Idon't think the popovers happen in twenty twenty
four, not like that. Notwalking right into my house. It's interesting
too, because you know what,if it were a younger person, I
would have been more surprised by it. But the majority of these guys' lives,
this is how it always went down. I mean, deb on our

(08:33):
Facebook page said women always used tokeep their home spotless because you never knew
who was getting okayzab Well, guesswhat women today ain't doing that because we
have jobs, all right. Forthe record, I feel like this is
the response that I'll give to mydad, as well as my wife's parents
from bridget Ye. My son givesme craps stopping by unannounced all the time.
He lives seven miles from me andhas three of my grandchildren. His

(08:54):
friend's had no trouble stopping at ourhouse unannounced his whole life pay, which
I guess I get. But youstill gotta knock. Y'all still gotta knock.
It's amazing. Text messages do workthere sometimes because I get a good
feeling. Well, it's jumping insome positivity to start out the Tuesday morning.

(09:16):
Thanks for doing it with us.Mack and Schmitty on starveto Fine point
seven were feeling good right now,and I mentioned it's our own version of
March of the Penguins right here inWest Michigan. Schmitty is because it's become
a tradition over for one Lake ShoreElementary Douglas Elementary, part of the Saccatuck
Public School System there in Schmitti.They've got a mallard named Bernadette, who

(09:37):
was at it again this spring.For the past four springs, Bernadette has
nestled into the building's courtyard there atthe school, and every year staff and
students get to line the halls afterthe ducklings hatch and watch them go out
the doors. Since the ducklings areso little, they can't fly yet,
so that's really the only way forthem to get to the nearby creek that's

(09:58):
nearby. So it happened over theweekend Schmitty the duck Leans were born,
which meant yesterday was the day forthat quick Doug duck walk over there at
doug Miss Elementary. You can doit. So they try and stay quiet,
They decorate the school. They goall out for this. So cool
to see some boys seems very coldtoo. I watched this every year.

(10:31):
I heard one of the teachers.They're just talking about how emotional it is
for you. Gotta get it upso cool. I didn't even realize this,
but they're ready to leave the nestjust thirteen to sixteen hours after being
bored, which I thought was wildin my head. I was like,
oh, you hang out for acouple of days. No, you're just
out the door. Right. Wegot someone at the school that's on watch
at all times time to see whenit's going to happen. That's a cool

(10:52):
thing. But all right, soget ready because this one's gonna really get
you sobbing. A fifteen year oldNorthern Michigan boy diagnosed with cancer started a
fundraiser, but it had nothing todo with him. It had everything to
do with his dad. Fifteen yearold Trey Hawthorne was actually dying of cancer

(11:15):
and decided to put together a VENMOand a GoFundMe to help his dad with
bills. His dad, fifty oneyear old Tim Hawthorne, hadn't worked in
two years because he had been caringfor his son around the clock while also
raising an eleven year old daughter completelyon his own. While the medical expenses
were mostly covered by insurance, thehousehold bills were piling up and the stress

(11:37):
was immense. So Tim's mom,seventy three year old Elizabeth Small, spoke
with the Detroit Free Press. Shesaid, he's doing the best he can.
He's trying to stay strong because he'sa little girl as well. But
we're all just really concerned about him. We know what's going to happen,
and he's just trying to adjust toit. It is a lot, but
we do what we have to dowell. Unfortunately, Trey passed away just

(12:00):
a couple of weeks ago, backon April first, but thousands of dollars
have rolled into that venmo and gofundme for his dad's bills, and his
dad's so moved by this, movedby thinking outside of himself in such a
big, big way, realizes it'salways been about Trey, and it was

(12:20):
such a blessing. Like I said, a slightly bittersweet story, but really
really incredible. If you'd like togive I'm going to post up the Free
Press article on our Instagram. Itdoes have a link to the Venmo where
people are still giving an honor ofTrey. I mean, that's an amazing
father, but a beautiful gesture froma son. What a way to figure

(12:41):
out you have done it? Right, and you have raised a beautiful child.
Feeling good comes at you twice aday. I always want to highlight
those amazing things that are happening allaround us when you're looking for me.
I will do it again today nineto twenty here on Startitol five point see
I but it's feel good variety ofthe eighties still now movies, music and
all the gossip in one place.It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh

(13:05):
five point seven. Well it wasn'tsurprising, but still so cool. Kitlin
Clark, the WNBA first pick headedto the Indiana Fever. This was really
cool, her teammates, responding tothe news, KA, I mean,

(13:31):
these girls have to be so stokedfor her to be joining the team.
But I also thought this was reallycool, and it's rare that I will
bring up what women are wearing.I kind of hate that that's questions only
ever posed to women. But Caitlynwas dressed head to toe in Prada,
and the fashion house confirmed this isthe first time they have ever dressed in

(13:52):
athlete male or female for the NBAor w NBA draft. She looked absolutely
phenomenal, as did all of theathletes on that Orange Carpet last night.
By the way, Angel Race,who had quite a competition in college with
caatewin Clark, headed to the ChicagoSky Yeah. I mean, there's never
been as much buzz around the WNBAseason, so just cool to see everyone

(14:16):
watches women's sports, you guys.Courtney Love is taking aim at Taylor Swift's
artistic merits in a new interview,saying she's not important, She's not interesting.
This singer spoke with The Evening Standard, saying Taylor's not important. She
might be a safe space for girls, and she's probably the Madonna of now,

(14:41):
but she's just not interesting as anartist. Very much a change up,
considering Courtney in the past has donenothing but praise Swift on multiple occasions.
She wasn't the only one, though, to face Courtney's wrap. She
also went after Lana del Rey.She talked about Madonna and even Beyonce's new

(15:01):
country album, saying I like theidea of Beyonce doing a country record because
it's about black women going into spaceswhere previously only white women have been allowed.
Not that I like it much asa concept. I love it,
but I just don't like her musicat all. So we just wipe for
the Swifties to get a hold ofthat today. Do you feel like she
is being honest or do you feellike she's trying to drum up headlines because

(15:24):
she's past her products has. Ithink she lives for drama and when she
can make it herself, she's nevermiss as an opportunity. Finally, the
wardrobe malfunction that went down during AmericanIdol last night, Poor Katie Perry song
broke my top off popped right offthe singer right after we listened to Roman

(15:50):
Collins It's a man's man's man's Worldby James Brown. This was video caught
during a commercial break as producers weredesp trying to get her top bits back
in myself has got on. Yourshow is gonna get more than one of

(16:11):
them, because if it doesn't stay, this show is going to get way
more than it wanted. To befair, She recovered beautifully by saying,
yeah, it looks like it's actuallya women's world. I was just curious.
I'm like, is that a yesfrom the judges? Then? Then
Canny, can we take that allof your celeib scoop at West Michigan Star
dot Com. Ah, Yes,memories like you know, all of the

(16:33):
ones have scarrin your children for life. You brought it up and I'm like,
which time let me bust out therolodex. Well, this was a
brand new incident. You guys havebeen following along on the show. I'm
sure I have been potty training bynow three year old? Uh start one
O five point seven by the way, Mack and Schmidty where we don't do
very great jobs of parenting because Ididn't see this coming. I really didn't.

(16:56):
So she's been doing really well withnumber one, but number two has
been very, very challenging, asI'm being told it is with almost every
single kid. It's just very weirdfor them to figure out how to go
number two on a toilet. Itdoesn't come naturally. It feels strange to
them. So we've been struggling withthat. When you've been putting your pants
for years, it's hard. Sowe're working through this and we're being really

(17:18):
positive about it. And then onSunday, first time it's ever happened in
the house, the toilet that Sophiauses, she's got her seat and her
stool in there backs up and it'slike dirty or gross brown water, right,
And so she walks in because atthis point she's going pee on her
own entirely. We don't even She'llgo in on her own, shakes her
own pants off, she does everything, washes her hands, she's good to

(17:41):
go in that. But she walksin here and I hear, oh,
no, all, oh, mama, mama, dah oh. I'm like,
what is happening? I walk inthere and the toilet has backed up,
and this girl is like, ifyou think my bottom end is ever
touching this toilet again, you aresadly mistaken. The look of absolute horror

(18:03):
on her face at what is it? I mean, this is a girl
that won't even pee if there's likea piece of toilet paper in the potty,
just from like someone blowing their noseor whatever. I'm like, girl,
there's nothing else in there, justp on top of it and then
we'll flush it. Absolutely not.She needs a clean slate. So she
sees this and she's like, ohno, I would rather go in my
shorts for the rest of my life. So I'm telling her, I'm like,

(18:23):
oh, that's no big deal,It's okay, And then she starts
crying because she's like this is sodisgusting. I don't know how to handle
it. Yeah, which has will? My six year old come running and
he goes, what happened? Isaid, it's no big deal, man,
you know, the toilet backed upa little bit, and he goes,
ew, that didn't come out ofmy butt, which sets her off
in a whole new way. Andnow she's refusing to use that potty like

(18:48):
scarred for life in her own bathroom. In all honesty, when you're a
three year old and you look downafter flushing the toilet successfully, I mean,
it's pretty impressive how that water justgets sucked down that whole life.
The reverse. Now, when thatwater comes up closer to your tushi,
think about the damage you could do. It could pull you into that hole
space. You could be doing threesixties as you traveled down the pipes to

(19:11):
the unknown. We'll be honest,I don't know when this happened. It
didn't even happen when she flushed,she walked in, it was already like
this. So then then, asthe responsible parents, I'm looking over at
Chris like, I can't believe youdidn't take care. It wasn't me as
well, certainly wasn't me. Sowas it, because now she won't go
on the potty. Now it's thewho spelt it, who dealt it?
Argument going down. Oh yeah,that was Sunday. Today is Tuesday,

(19:33):
and she has yet to trust it. We have to go in there with
her now and we have to checkit. So she'll walk in, she'll
stand at the doorway and then giveus the look, and we'll like open
the seat and go all done.And then she'll slowly creep over look look
at us again, like double confirm. I said, there's nothing. It's
it's all clear water, babe,It's all fine. And then she will
sit down. Oh that's too good, Like you know, at least she's

(19:56):
going into it knowing that you shouldalways inspect sketchy toilets, because even though
this one is in your house,it's already proven itself to be less than
normal. Oh you know, Ithink that's a great lesson. I'm like,
yeah, you ever want to travel, honey, there's a lot of
things. Go to Australia. Theygot stuff coming out of those pipes every
day to blow your mind. Startinga fine point seven. It's a lot

(20:19):
cheaper than therapy. Let's do thesalty smitty time, really so salty.
I know we talk a lot asparents about legos. Yeah, has it
ever made you bleed? There wassome legos swords one time that literally went
into my pinky toe, like throughthe outside little skin. I thought I

(20:42):
needed stitches last night. I'm notkidding. I would take my shoe off
right now and show you. Iwas down in my son's room getting him
ready for like tucking him in forbed, and so we were talking about
something and I was showing him likesomething Sophia did and how she stopped and
I stomped right a lego And itwas a different kind of pain, trust

(21:03):
me, Like I have a sixand a three year old, I've stepped
one plenty of legos in my life. This is a different kind of pain.
It was shooting pain up my leg. I mean it was debilitating.
And my son laughed, which addedto it. And I slowly walked myself
upstairs and I noticed a trail ofblood. The lego cut so deep into
my foot. I was bleeding andnot a little bit like a lot Chris.

(21:29):
I showed my husband. I waslike, dar look at this.
He was like, oh, hegoes that actually looks really I had to
hydrogen peroxide. It I've got somelike rigged up, bandaged situation because it's
right on the arch of my foot. I can barely put weight on it
this morning. And I love legos. I think legos are one of the
coolest inventions in history. I lovethat my kids love building them. But
dang it, round off the edges, you guys, really so sulky.

(21:56):
Honestly, I want to know,is there is there Lego lawsuits out there?
Schmid? I feel like there shouldbe an entire group of lawyers that
are out there just chasing victims ofthis chasers, ambulance, ches, music,
and all the gossip in one place. It's the celebritiescoop on Star one
oh five point seven Oh. TheDetroit Red Wings are still in it,

(22:18):
in play for that final wild cardspot in the Eastern Conference after beating the
Montreal Canadians last night. Unbelievable lategame rally to win it in O T
such a crazy comes out time.Yeah, the Wings entering in the third

(22:42):
period down four to two, butrallying back and then Lucas Raymond scoring in
O T to win it. Nowhere's the deal. There's still quite a
few things that need to happen here, so a playoff birth would be huge.
They'll travel to Montreal for a rematch. They'll need to win that if
they have any chance of making theplayoffs. They'll also need the Capitals to

(23:04):
lose their final game versus the Flyers. I mean, I thought it was
gonna I was really hoping for lastnight to get this out of the way
a little bit. But the Capitalswant to beating Boston. Yeah, but
the Wings did their part. Theyjust got it's got a hope. It
is what we manifest people. Idon't know about much about sports, but
I do know the manifestation could happenfor the Wings. Kendall Jenner's eight one

(23:26):
eight to quila brand is storing upsome controversy controversy at Coachella. A local
bar owner is claiming her team ruineda beloved ac DC mural. So it's
called Club five Bar. It actuallylet Kendall and her crew set up at
their establishment last week for a bigpop up attraction in order to plug her

(23:48):
tequila. So it came with abunch of custom decor and decorations, including
a massive decal sign they put onthe outside of the bar. Well.
The bar owner is now saying he'sticked. The ACDC mural underneath they had
just recently had installed is now damaged, he said as a result of how
the eight one eight team set everythingup. Randy Franco is his name,

(24:10):
He's one of the owners, putout a scathing press release yesterday accusing Kendall's
company of recklessly slamming their vinyl pieceon the mural, leaving it scuffed and
chipped, with no attempt to restoreit. He said, even though his
partners gave them permission, they didnot ask how to protectively do all of
this and what they plan to doabout it. It's unclear. I wouldn't

(24:33):
be surprised if they're looking for somemoney from miss Kendall. Honestly, I
saw the ACDC mural and I'd bemad too. That thing was sweet schmitty.
It's interesting because now you're hearing fromsome people associated with Kendall that said
they knew exactly how this was beingset up. It was their responsibility to
make sure that the mural was coveredbefore they got there. So I'm sure
this would be one of those subtledoutside of any court problems. Finally,

(24:57):
Ted Lasso star Hannah Wattingham being praisedfor what she said to a photog who
asked her to show some more legso. She was at the Olivier Awards
at London's Royal Albert Hall, lookingabsolutely astonishing when a man behind a lens
asked her to strutter stuff and showsome legs. She said, you would

(25:18):
never say that to a man.She warned him, don't be a bleep
or else I'll move off. Hesaid it again. She left, And
that's the cheering you hear from someof the women in the background that were
like absolutely, I mean, that'sthe boss lady we know and love from

a little sketchy that I'm up thirtythousand feet in the air in a giant
metal tube. It doesn't seem likeit should be right. That's why airplanes
the top answer, can you graduate? Thank you? Yeah? It was

(28:30):
airplane, followed by roller coaster,than horse yeah, people afraid to get
on a horse, motorcycle, andthen elevator rounding out those top answers.
But well done, Darcy. You'regonna go see Hosier. Great? Thank
you yep. Should be a greatconcert to get out to. Some live
music always welcome. But we'll doit again for you tomorrow just after eight
fifteen here on star WINAR five pointseven. Sometimes because I get a good

(28:56):
feel well, let's spread a coupleof smiles here. It's star winar Fiven
macka smitty with feeling good right now. So it is middle of April,
and I know for my high schoolersyou have already begun the prom plans.
But as most of us have nowrealized, proms expensive, the dresses,
the transportation going out to eat.And that's why one high school student in

(29:21):
Northville, that's right outside of MetroDetroit, has come up with an incredible
idea. She is calling a princesspromise, helping to donate dresses and accessories
so everyone has the chance to feellike a princess. Sixteen year old Isabella
Mack got the idea when she wentto her prom last year with one of
her friends who was a sophomore.She quickly learned how much and how fast

(29:45):
everything adds up and not everyone canafford new dresses, shoes, accessories,
and other quote unquote necessities that mightbe needed for a perfect prom. She
couldn't get it out of her mind, and she decided to start her own
way of giving back. So sheput together a website using Shopify and then
just hopped on the next door appin her neighborhood asking for donations for her

(30:07):
new organization, and neighbors delivered ina big way, she tells the Free
Press. All of a sudden,people were showing up with extra dress as
they have because they had multiple kids, or they themselves went to prom and
have it wor in the dress sinceany formal event. I even have a
couple of bridesmaids dresses. People weretotally down to donate, and once she
started receiving donations and word got around, bigger donations rolled in She started this

(30:33):
at the end of February, okay, so maybe a month and a half
ago. She has received fifty sixdresses, thirteen pairs of shoes, seven
purses, even five suits for thegentlemen. She absolutely loves this. She
has the help of her parents.They even promised to pick up if you
need. She's got a space fordress fittings so people will feel exactly as

(30:56):
beautiful as they need to, andit has turned into quite a movement on
the East Side. If you wantto learn more, it's called a Princess
Promise and you can check out aPrincess Promise Org at gmail dot com.
She's answering every single one and wouldlove your donations. I love the idea
of clothing that was so special tosomebody's life in a moment in time for
them continuing its story, you knowwhat I mean? So sweet, Like

(31:18):
I just want to get rid ofmine. I'm like, they're beautiful and
I loved them, but like,why am I still holding onto prom dresses?
I'm in my mid thirties. Ijust I'm so happy people are looking
at this as a perfect opportunity topass them down. It's wonderful. H
A percent. Right, Zminny,did you ever climb the rope and gym
class? Did you make it tothe top? You have a time guns
a steal like that one presidential fitnesstest, I asked the president. I

(31:42):
never got the blue patch. Ialways got the red. All right,
Well, this is really cool becausea French woman, a new grener,
she's got the new world record,and not for women, for anybody.
And she crushed this world record andit did it in one of the coolest
spots of the planet at the fulltower. Schmitty, this is wild.
This is that moment that she wasactually making it all the way three hundred

(32:06):
and sixty feet into the air tothe second level of the Eiffel Tower as
the crowd below just doune from this. Just to put this in perspective,
all right, the previous record wasa rope climb of three hundred feet by
a gentleman from South Africa. Shecrushed that by more than sixty feet.

(32:28):
On top of that, this isfour and a half times as high as
the previous female record holder. Soshe didn't just break a record, she
absolutely destroyed it. And this isreally cool. The whole thing was to
raise money for cancer, which hermother had recently been diagnosed with. So
this brand new Guinness World record goingto a nuke grener from France, and

(32:50):
this is awesome. Just yesterday inGreece they lit the Olympic Flame for the
games that are coming up in Paristhis summer. Well, she will actually
be one of those people that transportsthe flame on its journey to Paris coming
up in May. So she's gota lot going on. But a brand
new world record holder three hundred andsixty foot roll climb. You think you're
getting at the time of that one'smany? Oh no, not at this

(33:14):
age. As if any age youwere getting up three hundred and sixty feet.
All right, feeling good comes atyou twice a day. I always
here to point out something also goingon out in our world. We'll do
it again free tomorrow six forty fiveand nine twenty on Stepno. Five point
seven Mack and Schmidty in the morningweekday, starting at six am on Star
