Episode Transcript

(00:03):
Wake up. It gets my daygoing and makes me laugh. I love
it. Mac Inschmidty in the Morningon Star one o five point seven Movies,
Music and all the gossip in oneplace. It's the Celebritiescoop on Star
one oh five point seven. Well, Kanye West has been named the suspect

(00:24):
in a battery report and cops arenow investigating the claims against him. Law
enforcement says police are looking at Yaafter cops say they were told he punched
a man in the face. Thiswent down late Tuesday night. But here's
the deal. The guy had allegedlyassaulted Kanye's wife, Bianca Sensory. Now,

(00:46):
cops say the Kanye and Bianca tookoff after the alleged altercation and the
victim did not require treatment for injuries. Late yesterday, a rep for Ya
said grabbed is grossly in adequate asa description of what happened. Bianco was
physically assaulted. He added, theassailant didn't merely collide into her. He

(01:07):
put his hands under her dress,directly on her body. He grabbed her
waist, he spun her around,and then he blew her kisses. She
was battered and sexually assaulted. Kanyewas simply defending her. I mean it'll
be interesting. I mean I wouldassume just because this twenty twenty four is
there video? Is there any kindof cameras that you do a thing.

(01:29):
And I can't believe I'm saying,like if that's the case, like co
Kanye, I mean seems to melike that would absolutely because for getting someone
off of your wife. Keep youupdated on how that case looks. Brian
Cox, the Succession star if youabsolutely loved that Showtime Show is unleashing on

(01:49):
actor Joaquin Phoenix over his performance inthat blockbuster Napoleon movie that came out towards
the end of last year. Hewas at London's his Best this week and
he absolutely slammed Joaquin, saying terrible, It's terrible, A truly terrible performance
by Joaquin Phoenix. It really isappalling. I don't know what he was

(02:12):
thinking. I think it's totally hisfault and I don't think Ridley Scott helps
him. He adds, I wouldhave played it a lot better than Joaquin
Phoenix. I tell you that.You can say it's good drama, No,
it's lies. He even goes afterhis name, saying I think he's
well named Joaquin whacking whacky. It'sa truly wacky performance. Don't waste your

(02:34):
time. I mean, I don'tthink a lot of people had great things
to say about Napoleon, but JoaquinPhoenix is an amazing actor. Actually,
that's the first time Napoleon I've heardsomebody say like, oh man, he's
the worst, terrible. Finally Ihad to do this historical judgment levied in
the NBA yesterday. John Tay Porteris a forward and center for the Toronto

(02:59):
Raptors, banned from the NBA forlife after official say he not only bet
on his own team to lose,but also manipulated his own play to tape
tip the scales in his favor.Landmark judgment passed down by Adam Silver yesterday
afternoon, explaining league investigators discovered backin March, Porter took part in a

(03:20):
gambling scheme that ultimately called into questionthe integrity of competition in the NBA.
They say the twenty four year oldgave confidential info about his health to at
least one known better, who thenplaced an eighty thousand dollars wager that Porter
would underperform in the Raptor's March twentiethgame against the Kings that better stood to

(03:42):
make over a million dollars because ofthis, they also said they found unusual
betting activity. He even did stuffin the g League games that he played
for, so he won't never beallowed to play in the NBA again.
I feel like all professional sports shouldjust invite Pete Rose in before every season,
especially with the way gambling is now, and it's just so prevalent in

(04:02):
your face all the time with sportsbetting. Is Pete still suffering that?
I mean, every year there's apush to see, hey, can we
forgive Pete Rose and get him inthe Hall of Fame? Nope, ban
for live well, but like thisguy too. Even though you know they
said sho he Hotani was not gamblingin the MLB, it seems very murky
to me still, it really does. All of your celeb scoop at West

(04:24):
Michigan Star dot com good on ittoo. It's Mack and Schmitty, And
you know it happens. You getinvested in a show, you watch it
for a long period of time usuallyand then at some point, maybe they
jumped the shark, maybe you justlose interest. But you just have to
break up with the show Schmitty,and I didn't think somebody else's breakup could

(04:45):
affect me the way that it has, because I've done this with shows everybody
has, but Michelle has broken upwith the show that I wasn't ready to
say goodbye to you. We wereboth gamed Game of Thrones fanatics, like
to the point we read all thebooks, you know, we got into
all that. We watched every episodeof the show, waited for it to
come out, was super excited forit and loved it. Great series.

(05:08):
Then that spinoff came out last year, House of the Dragon new season.
Yeah, it was maybe two yearsago. Yeah, this is like the
history of the Targarian family if youwatch the show, so to speak.
I actually read this book a longtime ago as well, and so I
was excited for it. We watchedthat first season, and the new season
comes out in June, and mywife has already told me. She's like,

(05:29):
I think I'm done. She goes, I'm not going mixed reviews it.
I don't think. I don't thinkit's hard to recapture the magic of
something that you liked that much,right, So, like whenever there's a
spinoff, I think it's really toughuphill uphill sledding for a show. But
at the same time, it's comingout in June and she's like, no,
I'm not going back to West Rosand I don't want another streaming service

(05:50):
because we don't currently have HBO Max. We canceled that after that series and
ended, and I was like,oh, we'll totally bring it back.
Not happening, and so you can'tbuy your girlfriend gifts when your wife's not
on board for it. That's basicallythe same thing we're talking about here,
because it would be me going like, well, I need to watch Game
of Thrones House of Dragon. I'mlike, maybe I'm not ready to say

(06:12):
goodbye to this show yet, buthave you had to break up with the
show that you care about? Schmiddy? You know, I love the age
we're living in because no a lotof what I find are on places like
Netflix and Prime and when they end, I just restart them again. I
was really like, I'm jealous ofpeople who have never watched through all of

(06:33):
Shit's Creek. I think it isone of the most incredible shows on TV
and to be able to see itagain and again and again. My other
most favorite show of all time isDairy Girls, which is also on Netflix,
and it ended in such a beautifulway that I was like, I'm
coming back. I rewatch series allthe time. I have to make myself

(06:54):
feel better, said girls r R. Why it is a comedy about like
schoolgirls in Ireland? Okay, MartinScorsese says it's the greatest TV show he's
ever watched. Whoa it is?The writing is brilliant, you guys,
It is such a great show.It's three seasons. This is just like
relationships when one show closed. Whenone shot closes the door, just another

(07:15):
one open. Right there? Maybemy new show girlfriends right there? Watch
it. I just love that youcan go back through a lot of these
you don't necessarily have to say bye. Man. I asked this question on
Facebook, and you guys, byand large came up with the same answers.
And interestingly enough, I broke upwith this show Walking Dead had to
do it. I don't even knowwhat season I got out of it,

(07:38):
but I used to watch it everysingle Sunday night. I started watching it
when it came out on streaming.Then I was watching the episodes as they
were airing. I think I gotto like season seven and I was like,
whoa, I'm building one? Didyou oh what? I thought?
It was fantastic. I went fora while, but then all the spinoff
shows and everything else. How toget out of that one? Shitty?
Maybe this one's more in your wheelhouse? What about this show? Yeah,
this was a hard one. Thiswas my apps Luke College identity. Gray's

(08:01):
Anatomy was probably the number one showpeople listed on there. Like some people
like I couldn't do it after Meredithtook a job at the new hospital.
I think I lasted until two seasonsago. And it's just because I'm waiting
for it to be offered somewhere.I can't watch it every week, so
I just need to bend the wholething sometime. Dose I get a good
feeling, Well, let's get youfeeling good right now in Stombin on Fine

(08:24):
Points. See it it smack andshmide a little nose of positivity for your
day, and how about a drinkof positivity? This is just really cool.
Of course, we're a beer cityUSA here in West Michigan, but
this is a beer that has beenaround, well, actually it disappeared for
a while because it's thousands of yearsold, Schmidy, we're talking archival brewing

(08:45):
bringing back a Scottish heather. Thisis really interesting now, poets Robert Lewis
Stevenson actually said from the Bonnie bellsof heather, they brewed a drink long
sign and this says the beer wassweeter than far than honey and stronger far
than wine. Sounds like a nicebeer, right, Well, it was
lost to time for centuries. Asa matter of fact, before scientists discovered

(09:09):
these terra cotta clay pots that arenative to areas throughout Europe through the Mesotonia
period. Well, they were ableto do a DNA analysis and figure out
the ingredients of that beer. Andthat's why Levi knowl the owner of Archival
Brewing they're in Belding Schmidty was ableto help figure out what the ingredients were

(09:31):
and then sort of reconstruct this longlost beer that now they have and are
giving. And this is one oldbeer too, as Levi tells Fox seventeen,
this thing predates a lot of things, predates Scotland as a country,
predates England. They believed that itwas a beer that would give them good
fortune and strength going into battle.Why they would have made a beer or

(09:56):
a food item a certain way,through taxes, through hardships, through poverty,
or wealth. Brings us a connectionthat is previously unknown and not there
of what our ancestors would have consumed. And this blast of the past is
going to be back over at ArchivalBrewing. It's called take It to the
Grave because of a legend that saysthat the original people who made this beer

(10:20):
died with the recipe and that's whyit was lost. Have you been to
Archival, I have none. Thisis all they do. That's why it's
called archival, which he goes througharchives. You've bet him a few times
with the Wine, Beer and FoodFestival, Okay, Levi's incredible, great
beard, great knowledge. It's justhonestly, if you've never been, it's
a great fun spot for us.But it's cool because he specifically dives through

(10:41):
archives to find beers that he wantsto resurrect. Is there any better compliment
you can give a man than youhave great beer and a great beer like
that's pretty sim so good at that. So if you've never been, you
should see their menu. It's amazing. I had mentioned it just a few
minutes ago. Unless you've been throughcancer. I might not think the way

(11:01):
that cancer patients think, but thankfullythere are people that are looking into that.
And one of those beautiful people isJeanie Henderson. She runs a Kalamazoo
based cleaning company called Genie Cleaning,and she has actually partnered with both national
and international nonprofit to offer none otherthan free cleaning services for those that are

(11:24):
battling cancer. Can you imagine itright? You've got the chemo, the
radiation, forget trying to schedule everythingelse that still needs to happen in life.
The last thing you want to dois think about your kitchen or your
bathrooms. That's where Genie comes in. She has found a nonprofit called Cleaning
for a Reason. They have localpartners throughout the US and Canada. It's
a nonprofit that started in two thousandand six, and Genie knew that it

(11:48):
was perfect for her. See shetells what she had some experience in this
category. My mother was diagnosed withcancer and we were able to provide cleaning
for her while she and my fatherwere going through that difficult season of their
lives. And just recently, myhusband is also being treated for cancer.

(12:11):
And you know, we are dealingwith, you know, all of the
extra appointments that we have to haveand travel and things like that. You
don't want to have to think aboutcleaning. And it's something really cool that
anyone can sign up for. TeresaBritain did just that and it's been amazing
for her healing. It is freeingmentally too emotionally, to be able to

(12:33):
just get to the things that youneed to really get to to prioritize.
You're not prioritizing cleaning your kitchen orcleaning your floors or your base boards.
That's done. That's peace of mindand I can put my energy elsewhere where
I need to with my health.Isn't that what we want for all of

(12:54):
our friends and family battling this awfuldisease. If you're listening right now and
something that you do you think wouldwork for you for someone you know,
check out cleaning for a reason dotorg. Jeanie says it's an honor and
a blessing that we can give thisas a gift to someone when they're really
in a time of need. Ithink it's a brilliant partnershop and thank goodness
there are people out there like Jeanniethat's beautiful, all right. Feeling good

(13:16):
comes at you twice today to tellyou amazing things going on, especially when
they're in our own backyard. We'lldo it again for you today nine to
twenty. You're on Star one onfive point seven, Movies, music and
all the gossip in one place.It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five
point seven. Okay, I've toldyou in a scoop. I think a
few weeks ago that the rumors wereswirling a Shanty and Nellie were quite possibly

(13:41):
about to become parents together and hasbeen confirmed. A Shanty dropping a funny
video on her insta yesterday shot goTalk Sun Come Shan, how much how
you Need? I got made aboutnine months That's right, as she captioned

(14:05):
it, baby baby, Baby Baby, and obviously referencing her two thousand and
two hit, but also the factthat her and Nelly are going to be
parents. That wasn't the only bignews. Essence then dropped the news that
the two are also engaged, Ashantitelling the mag this new year of my
life is such a blessing full oflove, hope and anticipation. Motherhood is

(14:28):
something that I've looked forward to andsharing this with my family, fiance and
loyal fans who've been so supportive ofmy career is an absolutely amazing experience.
Man, it feels like this shouldhave happened fifteen to twenty years ago,
but still I love it even morenow. I'm glad it didn't. I
think this is just so sweet.Taylor Swift continues her massive marketing machine ahead

(14:50):
of that big Tortured Poets Department albumdrop that comes up tomorrow. New QR
codes are starting to pop up acrossthe globe. Sydney and Melbourne in Australia
have been added to big cities includingLondon, Chicago, Paris, Nashville,
Toronto, Mexico, and South Paulo. So every QR code starts with that

(15:13):
video of a library and a typewriterand then gives fans a different letter.
For instance, in Sydney, theygot an R. There's a Collingwood mural
that shows the letter F to onceagain spell out some word that will give
Swifties yet another clue to this bigalbum. But what's cool since she set
them up all around the world,it's been a giant online scavenger hunt for

(15:37):
fans. I mean, I'm surethat the second this thing drops, it's
going to be in all Taylor SwiftWeekend everywhere you look at it. Well,
it's interesting you bring that up.Listen in the next scoop because something's
believe her album may have already leaked. Finally, Jason Kelsey, brother of
Travis and now retired NFL star,says he doesn't believe in wearing underwear.

(16:00):
The new episode of their New Heightspodcast dropped yesterday where he's very very serious.
It's only for working out. Neverwashed your jeans. I don't know,
which is kind of suspect because youdon't wear draws. I don't.
I don't believe in draws time out. You just said you don't believe in
them, like they were like somethinglike Christmas that you have to believe,
like you have to have, likeit's religion or something. What do you

(16:22):
not believe they're there? I don'tbelieve that they're necessary. I don't believe
there's like a useful. Do youwant skid marks on your jeans? I
am pretty good at wiping. Idon't have skid marks. You're a two
hundred and ninety pounds man. Yeah, you got skid marks, and that's
why they won Podcasts of the Yearat our iHeartRadio Podcast Awards. Yeah,
Jason simply said, I find themvery problematic to the freedom my boys like

(16:45):
to enjoy it. I was gonnasay, you could tell that you just
the way he presents himself as aperson. He's living freer than so all
of your celeb scoop but West Michiganstart dot com, Good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmidty. And youknow, maybe there's somebody out there
right now who is leaving to getin to the drop offline early on the
show. Yeah, they go toschool with my kids. I I'm so
sorry. What are you all doinggetting into the pickup line so early?

(17:11):
And I get it, like schoolpickup lines are just a journey and a
half. I mean, my kids'schools are still sending out reminder emails.
It's like, this is the flowof traffic. Here's where the lines go,
Here's how we're gonna release your children. Don't leave until you have one
of the teachers giving you permission.But I got there earlier than I ever

(17:33):
had the other day, I gotdone with a meeting early and didn't really
have anywhere else to go, soso you know what, I'll just head
to the school. Hey, am, my kids get out. Will gets
out at three point fifteen. AndI got there it was probably like two
forty five, two fifty and Ibrought like my book and there are like
seven cars already lined up. Andhe doesn't go to a huge school.

(17:56):
There's maybe, I want to say, like two hundred kids at his school.
Okay, And so it's not likeyou're saving us spot because you're going
to be inundated with thousands of peopletrying to find you. I've gotten there
a couple minutes before the bell andit's perfectly fine. There are people sitting
there for like an hour. Why. I don't know what happens in other
people's days that allows them to justlive their life in line. First off

(18:21):
lines are like my least favorite thingon the planet, Like I just can't
stand waiting for that. But ourpickup line was so bad at one point
Schmidty after the pandemic, that ourkids get out of three forty five And
if you got there at three o'clock, there's zero chance that you're going to
be one of the first ten carsin line, which just blows my mind
because if you rolled in there atthree fifty five, you're still waiting for

(18:45):
thirty other cars to go through theline before you're getting through. There is
no advantage no matter what, youare going to be waiting for a long
time. I guess there then,if I'm understanding it right, that kind
of makes sense to me. There'sthat many kids that if you're there at
three p fifty five, you're stillwaiting for a billion cars. Maybe you
do want to be the one ofthe first, but at least it's moving,

(19:06):
because otherwise you just sit there inour school, ain't like that.
It's literally three lines and it's superlike easy and convenient, and the way
they figured it out. I'm sittingthere and I'm watching this one mom knitting
a shawl. I'm like, oh, like, how do you? Is
there other stuff? Am I justbeing weird about this? I don't know.
I get bored. Plus I don'tknow if my kid's school has some

(19:30):
kind of like Wi Fi blocking thingin the building, but I don't have
Internet when I'm in the line.That's really interesting. I am living like
a churning butter pioneer right there.I cannot be sitting y'all. I have
so many things to do with thisjob. I can't sit there for a
half an hour without internet. IfI could at least get some stuff done,

(19:51):
maybe, but I don't get it. That's interesting. When you connect
to the Wi Fi at any ofthe buildings in my kids' school system,
you cannot access any so media.You cannot ask to excess most websites,
which is which is great. I'mall for it, But not in the
parking lot. That's interesting, Likeif it's like a wall they've set out,
like I'm just curious, like whendo you show up to the pick

(20:12):
up line? Are you? Areyou an hour early? Are you somebody
blowing in there? Like Duke's ahazard because you're about thirty minutes late.
I want to know. Maybe there'ssomething really cool and I should be showing.
Are people hanging out? Is itlike a target parking lot? Nobody
gets out of their cars in ourpick up? Oh see, we got
a lot of appearance at chat wedo, so I don't know if there's
like somebody popping a hood and you'vegot snacks, if that's what I'm missing

(20:33):
out. Max is Worth waiting sixone six four five eight one oh five
seven I would be so curious aboutwhen you show up to your pickup line
and why if I'm missing something cool, can you please let me know because
otherwise I'm completely dumbfounded as to whatyou're doing with your day. Let me
check my calendarsmitdi. Oh yeah,it's Thursday, which means we're throwing it
back. Time to play. Whatear was it to get one of our

(20:56):
to get to one of our favoritespots here in West Michigan. It's the
Frederick Meyer Gardens and Sculpture Park.You've been wanting to see those butterflies.
They're there for a couple more weeks, and this is your chance to win
when you tell us what year wasit? Not a big fat pandas I'm
the big fat panda, small loveyou? You know how guls So there

(21:19):
are still terabytes of calculations needed beforean actual flight is a jarvis. Sometimes
you gotta run before you can walk. Dam The only sensible way to live
in this world is without rules.To not you're gonna break your one.
I'm considering it, oh ri ipto that legend right there all right?

(21:40):
Six one six four five eights oneoh five seven. I'm looking at all
my people that were in college thatyear and with know those songs Caller seven,
first Chance, and you're going tothe Frederick Myer Gardens. What year
was it? Star? One?Oh five point seven would feel good?
Variety of the eighties till now it'sMac and Schmidy and looking to hook you
up with Myer Gardens tickets? Whatyear was it? Not a big Fat

(22:06):
Panda? I'm the big fat Panda? Love you no? You know how
there are still terribytes of calculations neededbefore an actual flight is a Jarvis.
Sometimes you gotta run before you canwalk. Dam The only sensible way to

(22:26):
live in this world is without rulesto not. You're gonna make your one,
considering it best Batman movie ever therefor sure, High Star. Who's
this? It's Chelsea? It's Chelsea. How are you this morning? I'm
good? How are you? You'redoing real well? But Chelsea, I
believe we have a question for you. What year was it? Chelse?
I think it's two thousand and eight. Oh, Chelsea, you're going to

(22:48):
the Myer Gardens. Please tell meit was Beyonce Single Ladies that gave it
to you? True? Oh,I broke a coffee table in college into
that one wanna say, I'm talkingto two women who have done dance.
Chelsea's so glad you were listening.Congrats, thank you so much. Movies,

(23:10):
music, and all the gossip inone place. It's the celebrities gup
on Star one oh five point seven. Okay, it has been big talk
among the Swifties. Was Taylor Swift'snew highly anticipated album, The Tortured Poets
Department leaked early. Now, Ispecifically didn't want to play anything here in

(23:30):
case you thought maybe this was asong off of it. Not at all.
Here's the deal. A Google drivelink popped online yesterday that allegedly contained
the entire song list, so afew outlets were able to grab screenshots from
a group chat that apparently popped upamong some Swifties in which a file containing

(23:52):
the allegedly leaked album had been shared. Now here's the deal. They're just
not sure if this is indeed trueor if we can blame a The Google
link did feature seventeen different songs,the same number of hits that Taylor has
already confirmed would be included on herupcoming record. Remember, she's got a
couple of huge collaborations planned with bothLaurence and the Machine and post Malone.

(24:14):
But there's a lot of people thatdon't believe this is true. They're saying,
listen, a lot of other hugeartists like Drake have had their stuff
seen by AI and then AI releasingmusic quote unquote on their behalf, and
so far Taylor has not commented aboutthis at all. I don't know if
this would be a marketing move forher. She hasn't really done something like

(24:37):
this in the past. You rememberwith her Reputation album back in twenty seventeen
that was due to drop on aFriday and was leaked on the internet the
day before, and she was nothappy about that. No, And I
would imagine just given Taylor's if itdid drop early, She's ready to go,
like you know what I mean,She's not gonna let somebody get the
jump up. I haven't had achance to hear any of this yet.
Again, it's very, very dividedon the internet. But if you do

(25:00):
see something this morning, most oftaylor spans are saying this is AI and
not the official eleventh album. OliviaMunn is revealing the shock of seeing her
body in the mirror for the firsttime after having her double mess stectomy This
is probably the most in depth she'sspoken about her breast cancer diagnosis. She

(25:21):
was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer aftertests revealed she had luminal b It's a
very fast moving, aggressive form ofcancer, and she talks with people about
that moment she realized, you've gotto shut everything out and be ready to
battle. Think upon my baby,think about how I'm gonna tell John,
Like you just think, just scared, and then your brain just kind of

(25:42):
goes blank because you're just taking aninformation and there's something in your brain that
tells you, like, stop withthe other thoughts, stop being scared,
Like they're telling you something right now. You're just getting all this information and
you're about to go into a hugeand you don't have time to worry or

(26:03):
or ask too many questions that don'tmatter. Just take this information and start
walking. It's a really incredible interview. She also talks about growing her hair
back out following chemo and radiation tohide her scars. She said, for
a while, I felt really guiltyabout that, like they should be on
prey, and then she goes,no, I'm gonna do me. Some

(26:23):
days, I'm really proud of them. I realized they're battle scars, and
I battled really hard, and otherdays I'm not feeling as confident about that.
And it's up to me. I'mthe one through this cancer journey,
and I would say that to everyperson through their own cancer journey. You
know, she got me right inthe beginning when she said, you know,
thinking about my baby, you gottafight. She's got an unbelievable line
where it says cancer doesn't care ifyou have a baby, or a husband

(26:45):
or a family. It doesn't care. Finally, Zendaia is even uncertain about
the future of the hit show Euphoria, and she's not sure if we're ever
going to get a season three.She was at the La premiere for her
new movie Challengers, where she said, unfortunately, it's not up to her
at all. Euphoria will we seeits third season? I don't know.

(27:07):
I am, I am, Iam not in charge, but you want
it, But of course, youknow, if it's right for the characters
and everything turns out the way itshould, of course, but it's it's
beyond me. One day at atime. Yes, yeah, this is
just a couple of weeks after HBOannounced season three was postponed and fans are
losing their minds over that, reallyhoping they get the whole filming schedule figured

(27:29):
out, but even their big starsapparently don't know much. I was gonna
say, maybe it's because half oftheir cast is now doing blockbuster films every
year. You can do all ofyour celeb scoop, but West Michigan Star
dot Com Battle of the Sex isin your shot to get to an awesome
Concertsman the Hosier is also making aWest Michigan stop Van Handel May twenty ninth.
