Episode Transcript

(00:02):
Wakem It gets my day going.It makes me laugh it Mac and Schmitdty
in the morning on Star one offive point seven. Good moringe Mitty,
Good morning, welcome back. Youknow you were up at the Up for
the weekend. I was thinking aboutthis on my way in. You know,
you go up to the Up inthe fall, you get the color

(00:24):
tour. On the way to theUp and back in the springtime, did
you get like a flower tour?Was it kind of springy up theres it's
still kind of the end. They'reprobably a couple of weeks behind us here.
Yeah, No, we got theOrange Barrel Tour. Because heads up,
if you're going up there, thebridge is one lane both ways.
It's one lane one from about exitthree point thirteen on and literally everything in

(00:46):
the state of Michigan is under constructionright now. So I don't know if
that gives you a happy Tuesday feel, but uh, literally everywhere the Orange
Barrel Tour. That is honestly atour that you know what, I don't
think Pure at Michigan is taking advantageof Well, unfortunately, you're going to
see a lot of it in WestMichigan. We'll get to because a big
old closure starts today. Movies,music, and all the gossip in one

(01:10):
place. It's the celebrities Goop.On Star one oh five point seven,
Jerry Seinfeld had some interesting takeaways onwhat he calls kind of the death of
comedy if you can believe it.The comic himself is about to celebrate his
seventieth birthday and he believes that today'sshow business has lost all of its humor.

(01:32):
Why political correctness. It used tobe you would go home at the
end of the day. Most peoplewould go, Oh, cheers is on,
Oh, Mash is on, Oh, Mary Tyler Moore is on,
all the Families on. You justexpected there'll be some funny stuff we can
watch on TV tonight. Well,guess what where is it? This is
the result of the extreme left andPC crew and people worrying so much about

(01:53):
offending other people. Yeah, hewas on the New Yorkers Radio Hour when
he talked about the pretty sad factof the matter, nobody's getting their daily
dose of comedy in the twenty firstcentury. Well, I think it's more
nuanced than maybe it's painted right there. I don't disagree. I don't disagree.

(02:13):
I wish that people felt like theyhad the ability to disconnect, you
know, comedy and a show andarts from everything that's going on in the
world at ever given moment. Yeah, but we have the Internet, so
that won't be happening, all right. Selena's brother, the late singer's brother,
offering up an apology after absolutely losingit on fans. If you saw

(02:34):
this video, he was at theTano Explosion Music festival in San Antonio when
he started berating fans for not beingexcited enough about his set. He became
noticeably upset, telling him nobody forcedyou to be here and you can't even
put your hands up and clap.He eventually was escorted to his tour of
US by police while fans hurled reallynasty insults at him. Well. In

(02:59):
a now delete video, he's apologizingto fans and coming clean about some mental
health issues he thinks were the problem. I want to apologize for my words,
my actions, what I said,But at the same time, I
wanted to share something with you guysthat's a little bit personal, and normally
I don't like to share things thatare personal when it comes to health matters,

(03:23):
but in this situation, I feelthat I have to address exactly what
happened last night. He said,after Selena passed away, mental health issues
came around. I became bipolar,OCD add PTSD. I'm on the spectrum.
Basically, he said. When heisn't on his medication, he's prone

(03:43):
to having breakdowns and added, Ibroke that night. I said things.
I don't mean that. I don'tfeel in my heart whatsoever, and from
the bottom of my heart, Iwant to apologize to everybody. Amazing stuff
sounding exactly does so some sad stuff. I didn't even know that Selena had
a brother. He went on.He toured with her like all that's more
death. Yeah, he was abig, big part of that. Finally,
Kate Hudson is talking about launching hermusic career at the fine age of

(04:09):
forty five, and anybody who's doubtingher can get the middle finger. The
actress joined CBS to talk about whather new foyer into the music industry is
really about. And it was apretty painful experience from her twenties. There
was someone who said to me andit kind of jarred me a little.
It was when I was in myearly thirties and they basically said it's done.

(04:33):
It's past. You can't you're tooold. And you know, for
me, it wasn't just about beinga performer. It was about wanting to
write music. So kind of resonatedthere for a bit and then I was
like, h no, no onetells me what to do. So she's

(04:54):
been getting a lot of interesting commentaryabout this music career, and she's been
very open now saying I want tostart this in my twenties and was constantly
told no. So guess what nowthat I'm at an age where I feel
great, nobody's going to stop mefrom doing anything I want to try to
do. See you later. It'smusic and you're rich. Of course you
can play it. You want tobe in a band, go for it.
Got Laker song? Is it prettygood? It is? Yeah.

(05:15):
Her whole album is actually coming outnext month, so you'll get to hear
it for yourself. All of yourceleb scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.

Michigan Wake Up with Mac and Schmidtyon Star one oh five point seven.
All right, we'll kick off withour top story. Four officers killed in
a shooting while attempting to serve awarrant at a home in Charlotte, North

(05:40):
Carolina, that includes one Deputy USMarshall as well as two local Task Force
officers. Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Chief JohnnyJennings held a press conference last night.
The US Marshall's Fugitive Task Force wentto the five thousand block of Galway out

(06:00):
an attempt to serve a warrant onan individual for possession of firearm by a
convicted felon. When they approached thatindividual, they were met with gunfire.
Officers returned gunfire and struck a victim, who is later pronounced deceased in the
front yard of the residents. Asofficers approached that individual, they then received
additional gunfire from inside of the residence. The investigation is ongoing. For Charlotte

(06:27):
Mecklenberg police officers also shot, onein critical condition while the other three are
in stable condition. He calls thisthe most tragic shooting he has seen in
his thirty two year long career.Meyer has donated three million dollars to the
upcoming Joones Sekiat Children's Rehabilitation Hospital.This donation will go to the seventy million

(06:47):
dollar hospital. Going to be thefirst children's rehab hospital in Michigan, only
the ninth facility of its kind inthe entire country. The freestanding hospital.
It's a joint venture between Mary freeBett and Corwell Health. Helen of Us
Children's Hospital. Going to begin constructionthis year, expected to be completed in
twenty twenty six. All right,did we miss all of the presidential election

(07:08):
coverage? We'll get ready. It'sramping up yet again. A new poll
conducted by Emerson College along with NextstarMedia and our friends at would TV show
a very very colos tie between formerPresident Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.
Here in the state of Michigan,forty four percent support Biden forty five percent

(07:29):
support Trump. But with a marginof air plus or minus three percentage points,
it is neck and neck. Asfor top issues for voters in our
state, it includes the economy,threats to democracy, housing, affordability,
and other issues like healthcare and education. All right, In sports, Tiger's

(07:51):
the road starting today for a sixgame stinted against the Dayton Dragons, kicking

home game next Tuesday. For allthe latest headline sports, you can get
it always right there in your pocketwith our free iHeartRadio app. Some down,

(08:11):
get a good feeling. Yeah,let's dive into some positivity and start
out this Tuesday morning. Macka Smittywith you on Stamano fin point. See,
I'm with feeling good right now andthis is just crazy Schmitty. So
Utah family headed this wonderful cat,Galena Smitty and their owners Carrie and Mark,
all of a sudden noticed that shewas missing. As they described to

(08:35):
Kalis News there in Utah, theyhad no idea what had happened to their
cat. She just mysteriously disappeared.We had absolutely no idea what happened to
her. We put tons of flyersup, We contacted friends and family to
help us search. We searched fora whole week, and then we got
the most amazing, insane news inthe entire world. Yeah, that amazing

(08:58):
and insane news came from an Amazonemployee named Brandy Schmidty that I actually discovered
that Galina was in an Amazon returnpackage. Turns out that Carrie and Mark
had recently purchased a bunch of shoes, so they got one of those giant
boxes from Amazon that everything was shippedin. Well, their cat has a
tendency to play in boxes, andthey didn't realize it was in there,

(09:20):
closed it up, took it backto the dirt center, and shipped ad
six hundred and fifty miles away.Schmidty. They discovered, thankfully, Brandy
found Glena into the package and thecat was microchipped. Let this be the
moral of the story. Microchip thosepets. Because because of the microchip,

(09:41):
they were able to get in touchwith Carrie and Mark so quickly assured them
that Galina was going to be okayand that she was in good hands.
She went six days without food andwater, so nursed her back to health
and then returned her personally to them. More impressive, the Amazon driver,
right, like no offense. Haveyou seen how some of your packages are
delivered? That Gilina made it tothe All right, this is incredible.

(10:03):
So the city of Detroit and theNFL are continuing that clean up and tear
down from that epic draft experience overthe weekend, but local nonprofits are now
benefiting, receiving stage materials like thecarpeting, the wood, even the stairs
that were used by big NFL stars, all to support what they need.

(10:24):
And for Christina Rinaldi, she isthe Detroit Dog Rescue executive director, that's
going to mean a brand new spaeand neuter building. She talks to X
y Z and says, they arebeyond thankful for this Detroit Dog Rescue.
So I think grateful is the wordthat we've been saying all morning to be
here. So all of the woodthat you see, even some of the
metal, even some of the signage, it's all going to supply a free

(10:48):
spay and neuter shelter for the cityof Detroit. And she gets how hard
it can be for nonprofits When theywere asked if they'd be down to volunteer
their time to help clean up ifthey kept whatever they got, she knew
other nonprofits would probably love this too, so she called around to all of
her friends, people like Blightbusters,who have also shown up, because this
could be a difference between creating ashelter and having to pay so much out

(11:13):
of pocket that it's not a reality. Of course, I immediately knew what
this could do for not only DDR, but you know so many nonprofits.
There isn't as much money to goaround to the nonprofits, and so when
we are required to buy things likewood and even nuts and bolts, things
that we simply need to build kennelsand build walls, it adds up.
So this saves This makes it asignificant impact. If you tried to Dodd

(11:37):
Rescue, and that means that thatspay and neuter shelter that's going to open
on the east side of the cityis now down to open in just a
couple months thanks to this. It'slike, it's an incredible idea. And
shout out to the city and NFLfor coming up with it big time.
You know, Watchman has the draft. Have you heard a single negative thing?
Because this just keeps on being thegift that just gives and gives me.
I have it, and I hadmultiple friends there that the experience was

(12:01):
absolutely phenomenal, man, just reallycool. The economic impact is going to
be massive. Feeling good comes atyou twice a day. We're always here.
Thank you up share something great goingon out there with him. We'll
do it again this morning coming upat nine twenty Here on Star win oh
five point seven Movies, Music andall the gossip in one place. It's
the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh fivepoint seven. Well, not only have

(12:22):
we seen her on the Billboard Hotone hundred thanks to her mom, but
now Blue Ivy Carter is set tomake her film debut once again, joining
Mom. Bay and jay Z's oldestdaughter has been cast in the new live
action Lion King movie. It wasconfirmed yesterday Disney dropping a sneak peek for
Moufasa the Lion King. This storybegins far beyond the mountains and the shadows

(12:50):
on the other side of the light. It looks really, really good.
Blue Ivy was credited at the endas the voice of kiaras Simba and Nala's
daughter. So here's the deal.It's going to be kind of an origin
story for Mufasa as it's being toldto Simba and being relayed to Kiara by

(13:11):
her parents. Seth Rogan Billy Eichnerare returning from the twenty nineteen Lion King
remake with a couple of other newfaces, and it includes Linn Manuel Miranda
doing all of the music. Thisis going to drop on Disney Plus December
twentieth. Honestly, that's my birthday, and I feel like anything from Lynn
Manuel Miranda is a gift. It'sI mean, we just got a sneak
peek in this teaser trailer and hisstuff sounds incredible. All right, NFL

(13:37):
Pro three time Super Bowl cham Butmost importantly, Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelsey
has reportedly signed a record breaking contractin the NFL so the eleven year that
posted a video on x just sayingback at it again. Baby, feels
good to be in Casey. It'san honor and a pleasure. I can't

(14:00):
wait to get after it these nexttwo years. Kelsey's reps say this deal
makes Kelsey the highest paid tight endin the league thirty four point twenty five
million dollars for the next two years, so that contract will run through twenty
twenty seven. That blows away theyearly average, which is about seventeen million.
Chief starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes celebrating thenews by saying, I told y'all

(14:24):
I'll never let him leave. Congratsmy guy. I mean, he is
definitely one of the top tight endsof all time. And so it's not
like this isn't deserved, but doyou think he has some added leverage when
it comes to negotiations with me Shaid? But it's like, think about how
much extra money THEFLA because of Taylorbecause of this? Yeah, not to
be outdone. Jason Kelsey, Travis'sbrother, has also announced his new job,

(14:48):
reportedly joining ESPN's Monday Night Countdown pregameshow this upcoming season. This is
a big deal because he was gettingmassive, massive offers from networks like NBCCBS,
Amazon and more. So he willbe going to ESPN. And finally,
Mike Myers is teasing a possible fourthAustin Powers movie. It's wild to

(15:09):
say this out loud, but ithas been twenty four years since the last
Austin Powers in Gold Member movie.People have talked about this for a wild
There's been rumors flying that maybe hewas going back to film, maybe they
were going to take some characters fromthe past. He was on the red
carpet for an AFI celebration yesterday talkingwith E T about the rumor rumored that

(15:33):
we might get that Austin Powers forWhat can you tell me? I can
again, I can neither confirm nordeny the existence or non existent. So
such a project. Does Austin stilllive in your heart? Do you think
he has more story to tell?Absolutely? Absolutely, and that's has fans
believing we will indeed be getting afourth movie. Have you seen one of
the Austin Powers movies in recent years, Mandy No, I gotta be honest.

(15:54):
I liked the Austin Powers movies growingup. I love Mike Myers,
and I don't know if I thinkthey held up well. I think when
you rewatch him now, you're like, really, it probably feels very different,
probably very different movie in the twentytwenty four era of life. All
of your celebscoop at West Michigan Stardot com. Good bring to you,
thanks for hanging on this Tuesday.And Schmidty returning to us from your trip

(16:15):
to the to the Great North inthe Up where you claim you thought you
were going to die. Yeah,absolutely, if you're not aware, My
husband, Chris, his entire extendedfamily is in the Up. While he
grew up in Lansing, similar tome, his mom is down from on
the eastern end. So usually ifI throw out Cedarville detour, Gatesville.

(16:36):
People are like, oh, yeah, yay, I got it. So
that's where we were, and it'svery very rustic. I mean, you
probably didn't see me post it allthis weekend. We have no internet,
we don't have anything like that.It's lovely and it always shocks me at
just how different it is from mycity girl life. Because we had a

(16:56):
huge get together. So we wentup there to celebrate his grandma. They're
unfortunately who had passed away. Sowe were all with family and we had
this huge get together on Saturday night. I think it's the first time his
entire family has been together like thatin at least a decade. I mean
people came in from out of state. People flew in for this. It
was a really really cool thing.And there were probably forty or fifty of
us there. So we're hanging outand eventually his cousin does a bonfire in

(17:22):
the backyard. And they live ina regular house, but it's the up
So we're sitting around this bonfire andher husband is like, oh, did
I show you guys the trail camsfrom the other day, which please don't
show me those things. This isyour husband showed us the cougar the one
time, right, the cat sooh, that was nothing. That was
a domesticated house cat compared to whatI was seeing on the trail camps.

(17:45):
Because they're having like these wolf sightings, they've got some beare issues. And
this is a regular house, y'all. Like, this is a house I
could live in, except you stepoutside on your deck. And he shows
me this one trail cam. Imean, I cannot. It looked like
a mountain lion. It was huge, And he was like, yeah,

(18:07):
you know, I like, Idid contact some authorities about this one because
it's it's the biggest thing we've seenin a really long time. And I'm
looking at this thing. I'm like, this is walking by your bonfire pit,
this is your backyard. He's like, yeah, it's just I mean,
it's what we have to deal withup here. Somebody's kind of chit
chatting about it. I am onalert. It is like midnight, which
is when I figure they feast.Right, It's like sharks in the dawn

(18:27):
time. A cat gets freaking mountainlions in the evening time. Hunch is
it's back and all of its hairsticks up. That's how our picture you
at this moment in time, lookingaround, nobody seems concerned about this.
I'm like, what is happening?And so my sister in law is standing
like a bit away from me,and I don't know she's back there right,
And there had been some beverages.And I gotta tell you, I

(18:48):
don't know how she burps, butwhatever came out of her sounded to me
like we were about to be takendown by the mountain lion. I I
she burps, and I absolutely bloodymurder, scream and achof sprinting. I
mean, faster than I have everruns. I am shriaking. I grabbed

(19:17):
my kids like they been. Itwas just absolutely insane. And I get
to the truck. I get inand Chris, my husband, like casually
walks over. It's like, whatare you doing? And I was like,
did no one hear that? Mysister in law is hysterically laughing.
She's like, I'm so sorry thatwas my burp, but it does tend
to come from the gut, andthey are just their minds. His cousins

(19:37):
are like, I've never seen yourun so fast. What were you gonna
do? You know, like itwould have outrun you. And I was
like nobody else was reacting, andI just figured you all were fine to
die, but I was gonna savemyself because you know what, the up
is not taking me down. Itwas insane. It was absolutely insane.
And then I wouldn't sit at theBond for the rest of the night.
I sat in the driveway under thefloodlights, like making sounds, you know,

(19:57):
as if like smacking dicks together wasgoing to scare a moatin lion.
A way you all want to getsnatched up, you go right ahead and
stay out there, perfectly fine.Why like they have such a They love
me and I love them very verymuch, but they're like, Chris,
I do not know how you landedyourself such a yuppie. Oh that's too

(20:18):
good, Smitty. It was terrifying. I mean I could I could see
that a little bit, every rustle, but I wouldn't have thought it was
a belts that was getting suit runningfor the car. I was also like,
seventy, honey, maybe should goto the doctor. That was so
crazy sounding. That sounded like wildlife. So I'm here, I'm alive.
But you know, in that moment, it was it was good to realize
I didn't go into the fetal position. I would try to save myself.
Would I succeed? No, youdon't have to be the fastest. You

(20:41):
just have to be faster than theperson before Smitty, This is the tip.
That's all true. Pretty so saltystill on a found point seven,
it's Mack and Schmitty, Salty Schmittytime. And I must say, you're
taking issue with the mighty mac.What's going on? Am? So just
heads up because I'm pretty sure thisis going all summer. If you're headed

(21:03):
up north, the Macanaw Bridge isdown to one lane both ways, Like,
so one way in each direction ordo they have to you have to
do that terrible thing where you haveto wait where it's just one lane.
No, it's one it's one layin each direction. But here's my saltiness.
So they're obviously repairing the bridge,which means everybody is on one half
of the bridge. So if you'regoing from the up back to the lower
peninsula, you're right up against theguard rail and then if you're coming the

(21:27):
other way, you've got like thereally scary grades. So besides it being
super irritating because if you get stuckbehind a semi you're going five to ten
miles per hour across the entire bridge. My bigger situation is how they're fixing
the bridge, because when I'm goingacross the bridge, the last thing I
want to see is all of theconcrete gone and noticing just how thin that

(21:49):
wiring is that's holding us up overthe straits of Mackinaw. And that's what
they're doing, because I'm sure they'refixing the concrete and redoing whatever, but
driving back over that yesterday and seeingwhat's keeping you from as my kids said,
a splat death was very very concerning. I actually really loved the way

(22:12):
your kids put it. Would itbe a splash or a splat? Mind?
They said, well we swim orsplat. I was trying to give
them, like fun interesting facts aboutthe bridge, and they were like,
well if we fall off the willwe swim or splat? You combined that,
you combine those whole schmidty with anice windy day where you're feeling that
sway. I'm telling you, Ithink the fairies are going to make a

(22:33):
ton of money on me this yearbecause I sold Chris, I ain't going
over this bridge again. Like thesmitty so stalky ladies, music and all
the gossip in one place. It'sthe celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point
seven. Well, Britney Spears isin quote serious danger according to some of
those close to her, both mentallyand financially, and doing way worse than

(22:59):
before or she was taken out ofthe conservator ship. We'll start with her
mental health. Source say Brittany iscompletely dysfunctional since the conservatorship ended. She
has had no supervision and has hadradical mood swings that are really shocking of
the close group that are around her. She's also almost totally isolated and dangerously

(23:19):
unstable now. These friends that arespeaking say she was far better under the
conservatorship, one source even saying shehad lots of freedom and the restrictions were
there to protect her. She isno longer protected. They're also very concerned
about her finances. She has beenspending a fortune and is in serious danger
of going completely broke. We've seena lot of pictures right She's been going

(23:42):
to French Polynesia a ton. Shespends close to two million dollars each trip
there. She's also going to Hawaiialmost monthly by herself and dropping about three
hundred and fifty thousand per trip.She had sixty million dollars when the conservatorship
ended, and she just cannot affordthis kind of lifestyle. They're very,

(24:04):
very nervous, but unsure what todo to help her at this point.
I think they should be concerned.I think anybody who's paying attention can see
that Britney's not quite right where sheneeds to be. That being said,
on the money front, that isa ton of money to be spending.
And when you're going to different resortslike that and you're a biggest celebrity is
Britney, I mean, why can'tshe just started dorsing those wild Instagram posts

(24:26):
with some sponsored tags or something toget all that paid for Smitty because I
feel like, you know, shebrings out the knives again or something like
that on their people are gonna watchthe video. Would you, as a
client want to partner up with that? I mean, these are the things
I'm sure that people are talking toher about. Remember, she has paid
more than four million to her attorney. She's got two million that she had
to give. It's not looking great. So again, just hopefully someone stepping

(24:49):
in there to be helpful. BarbaraStreisan is getting some serious blowback from fans
after publicly asking actress Melissa McCarthy ifshe's using ozempic so. McCarthy posted a
picture of herself on Instagram alongside afriend in La over the weekend at the
CTG Gala and had said, oh, only pastel colors as we celebrate this

(25:15):
wonderful friend. Well, Barb poppedinto the comments and wrote, give him
my regards. Did you take ozempicUh? People were not very impressed,
one saying I am totally taken abackthat you would ask her that on social
media for all to see. Ilove and adore you, but that's really
disappointing. Another one writing whether shedid or didn't is no one else's business,

(25:38):
even one user calling straysand a vapidHollywood problem. Movie stars will never
stop focusing on appearance. Uh,you know what I thought, Oprah removed
the stigma around as although I don'tthink. I don't think you pop in
the comments, Babs, maybe aDM I finally can confirm A Taylor's Swift

(26:00):
will not be coming to the metGala this year. I remember I've talked
a little bit about this. Alot of fans were hoping this would be
the official red carpet premiere for herand Travis Kelsey, who were both individually
invited, But now it has beenconfirmed with that tour schedule, there's just
no way. The gala scheduled onMay sixth, and of course she kicks
off the next leg of her internationalerastour on May ninth in Pairis, so

(26:26):
it's just not gonna work. However, the Met Gala themselves are pretty disappointed,
putting out a statement that said,oh, the love birds will be
missing out on the theme this year'sexhibit, dubbed Sleeping Beauty's Reawakening Fashion.
Something tells me it's not Taylor andTravis who feel like they're missing out.

go Cheerman. We will get youin again tomorrow. Battle of the Sex
is eight fifteen. Every weekday you'reon Star. What about what of them?

(29:15):
This Benkuns five point seven, feelgood variety of the eighties still now
come on and toe you. It'sMack and SCHMDDI and let's talk about something
that apparently is more controversial than Ithought, because I know people have shower
thoughts, SCHMDTI, these are towelthoughts, because I need to know how
many times you will use the sametowel after shower, inter bathe, or
whatever before it needs to go intothe laundry again, like three four days,

(29:38):
three four days. Interesting that yousay that, because what brought this
up for me is my children.We were doing laundry over the weekends and
I go into my son's room.He's got his hamper, and I had
told the kids before I was cleaningall this up. I'm like, hey,
get all your stuff out of thebathroom, get everything ready to go.
If it's dirty, I want itin the hamper. So I go
in there. My son has onetowel for his week of laundry in there.

(30:03):
My daughter, however, has seventowels. Now granted she will,
you know, do the hair wraptowel. I'll say, I use two
towels. She does have like aspecific one for her hair that I know
that she uses. But there's seventowels in here. And my kids are
playing sports like five days a weekright now, so they're showering basically every
single day. Like they got track. They get all that stuff. So

(30:25):
it's time and life where you justshower every day. I get my kids
together, and you know what,this is how I feel about it.
There are extremists on both sides ofmany issues, and if you're one of
them, you're wrong. Chances areyou are wrong. My daughter thinks that
every single time she touches a towel, that's dirty, gotta go into the
wash. My son, however,thinks nothing at all. He has no

(30:45):
thoughts on this whatsoever. He justknows there's a towel around, let me
throw it on meet, it's over. And I'm like, you are both
wrong. This is not how wedo towels in this house. The answer
is simply too. It's two tothree. Anything beyond that, I think
you're a psycho in either direction.Two to three days or two to three
towels a week, two to threeuses, that's what I think. Two

(31:07):
to three uses. I mean,I assume most people shower every day,
although you don't need to. I'mnot saying that, but two two to
three uses maximum minimum. There's nooverage, there's no underrage. I think
everything else is the wrong answer.So we got we had new towels for
everyone yesterday when we got back fromthe up. We took one shower.
All that went into a bleached load. So like, depending on where I've

(31:30):
been at is how i will notuse a towel again. If I've been
somewhere weird. I mean, ifthe towel is dirty, we all know
it needs to be washed. Butwhen you come out of the shower of
the bath, hopefully you are clean. But I am. That's why I'm
so shocked at how many of ourFacebook users on their schmidty said one use,
one use is it's done. Whatare you people doing to our environment?
What are you doing to the earthand you're spending money like it's water

(31:52):
doing this. I want to feel, please, My inside is a dad.
Let's me know what handled As aparent, I can stand when I
know my kids have used my bathingtowel to dry their dirty toilet hands,
especially my daughter and potty. Ican tell and it was like little there's
like little damn spots for fit andI know, and then I'm like,

(32:13):
oh, I'm sorry. I candeal with a lot. I'll do dirty
diapers, I'll do vomit, Butknowing my kids touch the towel I'm supposed
to bathe myself with I can't doI can't believe how many completely conflicting answers
though we have on our Facebook page. I mean a lot of people doing
it every single time. But Triciaonce and into the laundry it goes.
If I used it twice, it'dbe full of the dog hair that I

(32:34):
just showered off. Why would itbe full of the dog hair you just
showered it off? Yeah, butdog hair's floating in the world. Here's
my question. Are you the onein your house that does the laundry?
Primarily I'm not, so that's Iwill trust all day whoever does the laundry.
You can use as many towels asyou want, because I'll be honest,
mine sitting the dryer for four tofive business days after I watch them.
As usual, leave it to thewife in this scenario to actually just

(32:58):
tell me the correct answer. I'msure mine will do the same. But
you share with us, because man, there are hundreds of you answering this
online right now at West Michigan Starsome down. Does that get a good
feeling? Well, this is sucha cool thing to watch. And I
saw so many people posting pictures fromthe white Caps game over the weekend where

(33:20):
there was a really a heartwarming momentin the pregame. The Campos family had
not seen Roberto play since he wasthirteen years old. They're in Cuba,
and they made it in as quitea surprise. A very cool moment when
outfielder Roberto's family came in and actuallysaw him play for the first time in

(33:42):
seven years. He then caught ceremonialfirst pitches from his mom, his dad,
his brother, and sister, allwho made the trip. Tears all
around. It's very very cool,huh. I mean, to get the
first pitch from your family members whosurprised you like that after seven years of
not getting to see him play.I can't imagine being that mom. She
must have been so happy. Verycool. By the way, the white
Caps back at LMCU Ballpark for ahome series starting next Tuesday. We'll keep

(34:07):
things sports oriented for this one too. Schmitte also really fast. I set
a kid living on his dreams.But this guy is a dude. He's
a man, he is a dog. I'm talking about Grand Valley quarterback Cad
Peterson, who had an incredible collegecareer for your Laker Schmidty, winning a
GLEEAC Player of the Year awards backto back, racking up over eighty five

(34:28):
hundred yards eighty seven touchdowns during histime with the Lakers. But even with
all that success, Cad Peterson wentundrafted in the NFL Draft. Of course,
we've been talking a lot about thedraft with it being in Detroit.
I'll get this. The Deshroit Lionshave invited him to the rookie mini camp
in May. Schmitty, I sawthat he's gonna get a chance to make

(34:50):
his dreams come true and wind upin the NFL. It all starts with
opportunities like this. So Bay congratulationsto former Grand Valley quarterback Kate Peterson as
he heads off to possibly, youknow, find a roster spot with our
Detroit Lions. That would be prettyincredible. Feel like good comes at you
twice today. I always want totell you about cool stuff going on out
there, and we'll do it againfor tomorrow, six forty five and nine

(35:10):
