Wake up. It gets my daygoing. It makes me lab of it.
Mac Inschmitty in the morning on Starone of five point seven Bucker morning,
Schmitty. Hey, good morning toeverybody except those of you not awake
because you have no kids to taketo school. Oh man, that first
sleeping day. I have a coupleof friends of mine didn't have work today,
(00:24):
didn't have to get the kids tothe bus, and they were loving
life last night. What a differentworld. What about going to bed last
night and not having to go like, oh yeah, I gotta make sure
lunch is ready to go. Igot to make sure all both supplies are
ready now. Not at our house. Not at our house. My kids
are still in school. Let metell you for the other half of West
Michigan that still has a few daysleft to go. I feel your pain
(00:46):
because we are in Rockford, eventhough my kids don't go to Rockford yet.
So every single child under the sunwas out playing last night and I
was struggling to get my kids togo to bed. Here, don't worry
about that. As I stare upthe window, all those smiling is so
awake. The sun is still soawake. Mom. I know it's very
(01:07):
unfair, but just give it untilThursday. My guy, movies, music
and all the gossip in one place. It's the celebrities goop on Star one
oh five point seven. Oh Shawaited until Friday afternoon to drop the news.
But Jennifer Lopez will not be hittingthe road this summer at all.
The singer completely canceled her entire jLO This is Me Live Tour, a
(01:32):
rep for Live Nation, which wassupposed to get this underway this month and
have a bunch of North American datesthroughout August, has announced it is completely
done. They said, Jaylo's takingtime off to be with her children,
family and close friends. Jlo herselfaddressed the cancelation late on Friday, hopping
on her on the jay Low siteto say, I'm completely heartsick and devastated
(01:56):
about letting you down. Please knowthat I wouldn't do this if I didn't
feel it was absolutely necessary. Ipromise I'll make it up to you and
we will all be together again.I love you all so much until next
time. Now. There's been alot of rumor I've talked about this in
scoop that the ticket sales were really, really bad. There were even a
few cities that were dropped off ofthe tour list. Jalo's people say that
(02:16):
is not it at all. Infact, they've seen an uptick in some
of the bigger cities for ticket sales. She just needed this downtime. I'll
be honest, Schmitty. I mean, is anybody it's hard to feel bad
for somebody as wealthy and live itas luxurious of a life as Jalo.
At the same time, is anybodyhaving a worse year than her? It's
pretty rough and it got worse overthe weekend because if you saw the video
(02:38):
of her and Ben Affleck at afamily engagement, it looks like it was
one of Ben's kids sporting events.The two do not look very happy together,
and they notice the paparazzi and thenlean in and give like an air
kiss. They don't even actually touchfaces, further moving that rumor mill that
(03:00):
not going well in this relationship.Do you think they scheffer from like our
ff? Is it resting fighting faces? Because those two are always like they
always look like they were at eachother. Say if it wasn't like resting
faces like this is the most uncomfortablytense kiss I've seen. I got the
video West Michigan Star dot com.Finally, Justin Timberlake getting praised once again
(03:24):
by fans for stepping up and helpinga fan. The singer was at the
Moody Center that's at the University ofTexas at Austin a big show Saturday night
when he stopped the show noticing afan in distress. Sorry Monday one second,
one second reading some assistants right hereabout five rows. Yeah, Luckily
(03:46):
security immediately popped in. Justin apologizedto the crowd, but the crowd had
nothing but cheers and thankfulness. Paramedicsdidn't even need to get called. This
was a totally safe thing. Butreally getting some nice accolade this morning is
Obviously singers are more and more intune with what's going on in their audience.
This would needed help. Justin steppedin stop the show for about ten
minutes. It's all good. Imean, that's pretty awesome to do.
(04:09):
You do kind of have the catbirdlifeguard seat. I suppose to hear the
one up on stage of those catalksto be able to see what's going on
out there. Yeah, good spot. All of your celebt scoop at West
Michigan Star dot Com sometimes does thatget a good feeling. Let's start this
week. I'm a little positivity.It's feeling good on Starmino Fine point seven.
Mac and Schmidty with you. Andyou know your husband's big in afishing.
(04:30):
Schmitty. Has he considered magnify?Yeah, I know it looks pretty
cool though. I go down therabbit hole occasionally on Instagram or anything else
like that. If you don't know, it's where people throw very powerful magnets
over bridges and off into water andthen just pull out whatever comes in there.
Well, that was what James Kenand Barbie Agostino from New York we're
(04:53):
doing. And they were actually thrownit into a lake in Queens at Corona
Park there and what they pulled up, well, it was a surprise.
But it's also the thing that youknow, magnet fishermen are always looking for
safe, a safe in the water, because then your imagination could just run
crazy with itself. Maybe it's gotjunk in it, maybe it's full of
cash. In this case, itwas the latter. They pried open the
(05:16):
safe, Schmidti and found two hugestacks of cash totaling one hundred thousand dollars.
Talking to New York one. Theyjust said they could not believe their
luck. And when I first sawthe initial thought is we have found plenty
of safes before. This is justwhat a magnificier does you find safe?
Said? Then I saw the numbersand I said, babe, this is
this is not possible. Holy someprofanity, but you know, I don't
(05:42):
blame. And we pulled it outand it was like two stacks of freaking
hundreds. Yeah, and I bigshit not believe it. I thought it
was a joke. Once I seenthe actual dollars dollars and the little ribbons,
ribbons like one hundred in the securityribbons, I was like, oh
I lost it. Yeah, I'dlose it to one hundred thousand dollars is
(06:03):
what wound up being in the safeand check this out. They did the
right thing. They called the copsright away, let them know what was
going on. But because the billswere not linked to any crime on record
or any persons that they could find, this cash is going to be theirs,
free and clear, one hundred thousandbucks. They're chelty about the unexploded
grenade. Oh I thought that too. He's got a lot of those.
(06:24):
Yeah, you take the goat,the badge, y'all get those magnets down
there, all right, this isincredible. Of course, in just a
few days we will be remembering theeightieth anniversary of D Day, and for
some World War Two veterans still withus, they'll be heading back to Normandy.
For most of them, the firsttime they've been back since the end
(06:45):
of the war. That includes mailand grip. He answered his nation's call
to service at only eighteen and wasquickly shipped off to France and part of
the forty second Infantry Division known asthe Rainbow Division. They saw combat in
Germany, but of course, toMaelan, one of the most memorable moments
was when the forty second liberated theDoc Hoow concentration camp. In fact,
(07:09):
he was there as an American tankknocked down those front gates and remembers it
quite vividly. It was very jokingher ship people inshy were moaning, I
mean, you just almost can't believeit. It's just absolutely wild. While
the Elks Club of Florida, Maelanlives in Tampa, has now raised enough
(07:32):
money to take five World War Twoveterans that live in Florida back to Normandy
for the eightieth anniversary this week.It is something that Elk's Club president Rudy
Macy feels very very blessed to do, and there's a lot of healing that
takes place. It's a real honorand a privilege for me to kind of
pay back. Yeah, you cansee the whole interview with f La,
(07:55):
including Maylan talking more about those momentswith his brothers West Michigan Stuf. You
know, as we get further removedfrom things like that Schveetty, these stories
and these powerful moments like that becomemore important than ever, and we're keeping
them right, We're cataloging these,we're keeping the history of it. It's
very very important feeling good, alwayshere to tell you about great things going
on out in our world and giveyou something to take with you into the
(08:16):
rest of your day. Join usagain for another round coming up at nine
to twenty this morning on Star Movies, Music, and all the Gossip in
one place. It's the Celebritiescoop onStar one oh five point seven. Well,
the marriage questions just won't stop forTravis Kelsey, but over the weekend
it was none other than Jason Sudeikisin disguise trying to press him on sealing
(08:39):
the deal with Taylor Swift. RobertSmiegel and George wend along with Jason and
Travis as a guest star, performedto skit at the Big Slick Celebrity weekend
in Kansas City. It's a bigcharity event. When Jason made sure to
ask, what are you gonna makean honest woman out of our guys here?
(09:03):
What are you gonna be going on? She doesn't need anything warning anymore?
And again yeah, he even broughta Harrison Bucker's speech from that college
into it, saying, hey,she doesn't need to be working any longer.
A lot of the audience actually thoughtthis was a build up to an
(09:26):
announcement, but Travis simply sat therepretty quiet, rubbed his beard a few
times, and then warned, Okay, we're done with this topic. Is
this not one of the weirdest couplesin history? SCHMITTI with you about a
pressure that they get on them inpublic is just I don't know, it
feels totally natural to me now,perfectly fine. Shania Twain is sharing a
(09:48):
wonderfully glorious mess up from one ofher recent shows, tweeting out a video
of her over the weekend. Theproblem here is that she went to sing
into her microphone and accidentally started singinginto a prop. Yeah, true professional.
(10:16):
She was holding some kind of wandas part of her performance and held
that up to her lips and startedsinging. Couldn't really understand why it wasn't
coming out of the speakers, andthen said, oh wow, that's embarrassing
and hilarious. But this is whyshe continues to sell out that residency in
Vegas. People love her. Thatis awesome. I mean, I'm just
(10:37):
imagining her staring daggers over at herstage manager, like what is happening?
Yeah, she got a run awayand finally more bad publicity for the weekend
and his show The Idol. Sothere's now an extra that was on set
speaking to the Sun talking about howchallenging it was to film this show,
(10:58):
and they're mostly blaming the weekend.They claimed the extras would be on set
for ten to twelve hours, aday after they were promised tops six to
eight. They said the weekend waslate to set. All the time we
were constantly waiting on him to start. He would take longer lunches than everybody
else. Including the casting crew.It caused a lot of fatigue for the
(11:20):
extras, who were only given onemeal a day and some many water bottles.
They also claimed that even though everyonewas trying to stay upbeat, the
energy was just sucked out of theroom whenever he came, and because he
was looking for the perfect shot,it caused filming to have to reduce scenes
millions of times for him to getit exactly right. They say there it
(11:41):
was not shocking at all that itended after one season and that the final
episode was eventually cut. Yeah.I mean, at first it seemed like
critics were into it, and thenthat faded very very fast. Well,
and I mean, this is notthe first time we were hearing this.
It makes us you don't necessarily wantto do any acting Alongside the weekend all
of your celeb scoop, including thatfull interview at West Michigan Star dot Com
(12:01):
from one to two, it's Mackand Schmitty and that doesn't sound like fun.
Schmitty a kid just getting on tosummer vacation and summer maybe done.
Yeah, your worst summer injury.So I have one of my best friends,
her kids got out of school onFriday, that was their last day
summer break could be gone. Fastforward maybe four hours and a game of
(12:26):
kickball. He has broken his arm. I mean he played all summer.
Break your arm and kickball? Youhave kids? Are you kidding me?
My kids could break them standing still? Like pardon me? So now she
like she texts me, She goes, Oh my gosh, You're not gonna
believe this. It's even worse becausethis is like he wasn't even playing the
(12:48):
sport he usually plays. This waslike a neighborhood pickup game of kickball,
and she's like, we have togo to a specialist. Might need surgery,
definitely in a cast. Do youremember what that was like? You
can't swim, you can't go onthe sprinklers, You've got to wear a
bag when you shower. I wasgoing to say, his technology made it
so that you don't have to weara garbage bag across and I just thought,
(13:09):
Oh my gosh, how devastating fora twelve year old to think.
I just ended my summer in thefirst five hours of its starting. He
had to cancel two of his sportscamps. How old is he? He's
twelve? Twelve years olds man?Does he do you think he can.
Can he move his fingers and hishands and stuff still? Oh? Man,
(13:31):
no, maybe he could use alighter to lights and a full cast.
And I thought to myself, Man, you always have a summer injury
story. Like I can remember therewas a guy I went to high school
with. He was up north atone of our friend's cabins mid June and
they were tubing and he flew offthe tube and shattered his fibula. Oh
(13:54):
and he had that cast until afterThanksgiving. Yeah, where he's gone?
Like what was it? Because Iput this up on our Facebook and I
was stunned. People have already hada problem. Moon just said. First
day on the job as a fenceinstaller, I lifted a heavy garbage bag
full of dirt and ended up ina partial cast for six weeks. I
(14:16):
tore the muscle in my forearm.Oh my goodness. It's always And it's
like why these things barely happen inwinter? I mean it's like if you're
snowboarding, your skiing, something happens. Why is it the gorgeous months in
Michigan where the worst possible injury willhappen. So Emma over in our newsroom
Schmidty if he didn't know her dad. Her father just broke his dislocated his
(14:39):
knee cap and when they put itback in realized there was a fracture going
all the way through his knee.Had to be hospitalized for days. Now
he's gonna be knocked up until hecan get surgery. It has to heal
for a while, yeah, andeven start surgery, and then the rehabilitation.
His summer is gone. I justI feel for people with kids that
(15:00):
this happens too, because how inthe world do you keep your kids from
like, how do you keep themsafe after an injury in summer? Diane,
I just received four staples in myhead this past Saturday. I was
putting up a pergola and it fellthis project. Gosh six one six four

happened to, Oh something about apergola. The reason you were injured just
sounds so summer. Yeah. Imean to be fair, Diane, I
love a pergola and you're gonna beso thrilled when it does go up.
But maybe hire someone because honey,I want that head to be just fine.
(15:43):
Here are the facts with human torchwas denied a bankaloverde Let's be real.
Most of the stuff we click onit's not because it's important, it's
because, well, it's morbidly fascinating. That's what we got for you.
It is this week's fine. Well, put Soul, South Korea on your
travel to list, because in HanRiver Park they just crowned the power nap
(16:07):
winner. They actually had hundreds ofpeople show up for this. A big
shout out to a free lance announcernamed Fonso Ah the best napper in the
world. I don't know if I'veever been more jealous. I would think
I could beat him. By eightyone year old slingshots suspect arrested. An
eighty one year old man who's beenarrested in connection with slingshot incidents in a
(16:29):
California Native Police say the only motivethey can find is just malicious mischief.
This feels like the e true Hollywoodstory of Dennis the men Ish have no
idea how to use a slingshot.That's impressive. Get your kid's finger paints
ready? Did you see the pintsized Picasso? He's been called. A
two year old boy in Germany hasbeen selling his finger paints for around seven
(16:52):
thousand dollars. Inch, you're nothanging those in the fridgee Customers lick eggs
to receive food poisoning compensation. Aruction supermarket had eighteen people fall ill to
food poisoning, so they promised onemillion rubles to customers who suffered food poisoning.
Immediately inundated with customers licking the eggstrying to get food poisoning. We

do not judge the side hustles here. Goodbye. A mom was fined eighty
eight thousand dollars after her kids accidentallypicked up clams on a California beach thinking
they were seashells. She was issueda two concitation for fishing without a license

(18:06):
Movies, music and all the gossipin one place, it's the celebrities gup
on Star one oh five point seven. Well. Taylor Swift has been known
to be extra aware of her fansexperience at her shows, and from time
to time she has had to callin security to help fellow people that she
loves in that audience. But todo it in French is just so Taylor
(18:27):
Swift. She was on stage duringher show in Leon over the weekend pointing
to a member of the audience askingif they need help. Clearly they gave
her some kind of yes because shestopped her show to make sure security got
to her in French. Yah's lacythe thank you can we get someone to
(18:48):
go over? And not only werefans thankful that she stopped the show to
help this fan, but they're like, ah, her French was on point,
like we'd expect anything different from Taylorwhatever stage stage. This was all
just to show off the fact thatshe's been using a dual lingo for the
last time that the latest thing she'stalking. Adele does not play around during

keep going. I love that Adeleis an active, participating member of on
(20:00):
stage. A lot of people goto the show, all right. Jason
Kelsey has taken a very interesting stanceon X and honestly it is a chef's
kiss lesson in dealing with your trolls. The former Eagle star was on the
site Saturday engaging in a troll whoclaims Jason doesn't wash himself. So instead
(20:22):
of just letting that sit there orfiring back, he played into it,
writing what kind of weirdo washes theirfeet? He continued, saying, all
of you have been fed diabolical liesthat washing every crevice of your bodies and
hair all the time is somehow betteror healthier. Any dermatologist not in bed
with big soap will agrade hotspots areall that's necessary and actually leads to cleaner,
(20:48):
healthier skin. Have a great day. The Harrison Budker remake of the
speech right there is pretty fantastic.I love Jason Kelsey's The butter Brother.

Another chance to weigh eight fifteen Battleof the Sexes here on Star. Of
(24:10):
course, kids all over West Michiganfeeling good, or have at least that
anticipation of feeling good with the endof the school year upon us, and
that also means a lot of timessmitty getting teachers are wonderful teachers. A
gift something get both my kids teachersgifts, Yes, something at the end
of the year. Could be somethingextremely small, even a handwritten card,
anything like that. My mom wasa teacher forever, my wife is a
(24:32):
teacher forever, and those things meanthe world. But that's also nice when
you get you know, those coffeegift cards or we've talked about wine,
perfectly acceptable gift. But what's theweird ones? I want to know,
teachers, what is the weird giftyou received? Because my wife thinks about
it every single year. She wasa fourth grade teacher for a long time
and one of her years in LasVegas. At the end of the year,
(24:52):
a little boy fourth grade gave herLingerie styles stockings as her end of
like fish nets. Kind of yeahabout that. I wouldn't say full on
fish net, but pretty there wasa mistake made there. Nope, Mom
runs those kinds of parties. Yeah, and thought that it would be a
(25:12):
nice like intro into the possibility ofsoliciting to come to one of those.
Yeah, it was a multi levelmarketing. That's you know, it's a
pretty bold move. But you know, when you're with a ten year old
voice, some dignity standing in frontof you as you opened these netting stockings
up awkward moment to say the leastone that my wife will never forget.
(25:34):
You know what? That brings upa great point. My mom was a
teacher and she never opened the giftsin front of the GISTs. Oh that's
smart because you never know what's goingto be in those boxes. You can't
hide everything that comes across your facethere, schmidde. Wow, the ones
on our Facebook page would definitely havemy jaw on the floor with a few
of these. How about my songave his teacher A five thousand dollars diamond
(25:56):
heart ring that was given to meby my mother in law. She thought
it was costume jewelry. When shewent to conference, she told me I
told her what it was worth.Oh she gave it back thankfully. Yeah,
Hi, that stuff. Oh whatdo you know? I am wearing
your gift. It was very nicelike this. Oh that was a tough
one, Sherry. This is definitelythe weird one. Schimiddie Jill said,
(26:18):
what if my first grade students gaveme the exoskeleton of his recently molted pets
Arancela. You know what though,based on the kid, that's like a
lifetime gift. He must have reallyenjoyed your teaching. Not necessarily something i'd
get, but man, he lovedyou. Last, but not least,
camillel Say's cowboy boots and tables glasstops. I love them and still have
(26:41):
them, have had over had hadthem for over ten years. An Marie
I used basic white coffee cup,just pulled right out of the cupboard.
No, I think it's like astyrofoam cup. He probably found in the
teacher's lounge and was like, Iwant to show you how much I loved
you this year. Really appreciate thisevery time. Well, what howver that
weird gift you've gotten, go aheadgive us call tell us about a six
(27:03):
one six, four eight one fiveseven. I hit itself on Facebook at
West Michigan Star Happy end of theschool year. Sometime does I get a
good feeling? Start little five pointseven. It's smacking comedian and it's time
to get you feeling good. Thisis incredible and what a cool opportunity.
(27:23):
Both men's and women's swim and divingteam members at Calvin University traveled all the
way to Thai Land last month toteach life saving water skills to students over
there. Fourteen members in all allraised money and funded their way over to
partner with Paladin Rescue Alliance. It'san organization focused on rescuing those in human
(27:48):
trafficking situations. You might think,wait a minute, swim lessons, how
does that connect well in a reallybig way. According to head swim coach
at Calvin, Dan Gelderloose, it'snot just teaching water survival, but it
can boost confidence and it transitions tohelp in all different types of situations.
It's a very big deal, hetells, what I think it's all kind
(28:10):
of goes into making this bigger thanwhat's just about swimming while going to school,
and making this an experience for thesestudents that allows them to connect with
kids halfway around the world and plansome seeds over there that's going to affect
their lives. Yeah, outside ofswimming, Calvin students taught survival skills,
(28:32):
English, cooking, CPR, othersurvival skills. And this isn't the first
time. Three trips have already happened, with more than fifty student athletes participating
in the program, funding their owntrips and going across the world to teach
these incredible skills. I think thatis so cool. I think it's really
incredible. And when we talk abouteducation, these are college students, after
(28:52):
all, being able to have thiskind of worldly experience like this that you
wouldn't otherwise get these unbelievable when yougo to college. Honestly, it's incredible,
all right, chwddy, this isjust cute and funny, and you
gotta see this video Joe Kelty andhis fiance Katie Perry in Chestertown, England.
Well, Carrie, she's penguin obsessed. So back at Valentine's Day,
(29:14):
her fiance Joe, who's a thirtysix year old electrician. He surprised her
with a day at the zoo whereshe actually got to feed the penguins and
she was told that they love tohave there. Tommy's tickled and she just
grew even more obsessed with these penguins. Well, flash forward to this past
weekend, which was their wedding day, and before Joe and Carrie walked down
(29:37):
the aisle, well, one ofhis best men had lost the wedding rings
and when they came back out,there was a bucket of fish and a
penguin ring bear waiting for everyone.That's right, little pink ribbon with the
rings tied around them as the penguinwalked down the aisle. He was able
(30:00):
to actually have these penguins come infrom a wildlife refuge where these penguins were
rescued, but now they are ableto be cared for because of events like
this, where four penguins actually walkedaround their reception getting pets and being fed
fish all night long. While thebride said it was the absolute perfect way
(30:22):
to top off her what killed foran invite to that reception, It would
have been a pretty cool photo booth, to say the least. All of
your excuse me, Feeling Good comesat you twice a day to pick you
up, tell you about something coolgoing on. I'll put that video up
for you too. You want tosee some penguins, we got it for
you. West Michigan Star dot ComFeeling Good. Back at it tomorrow,
six forty five and nine twenty hereon Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning
weekdays starting at six am on Starone oh five point seven
Wake up. It gets my daygoing. It makes me lab of it.
Mac Inschmitty in the morning on Starone of five point seven Bucker morning,
Schmitty. Hey, good morning toeverybody except those of you not awake
because you have no kids to taketo school. Oh man, that first
sleeping day. I have a coupleof friends of mine didn't have work today,
(00:24):
didn't have to get the kids tothe bus, and they were loving
life last night. What a differentworld. What about going to bed last
night and not having to go like, oh yeah, I gotta make sure
lunch is ready to go. Igot to make sure all both supplies are
ready now. Not at our house. Not at our house. My kids
are still in school. Let metell you for the other half of West
Michigan that still has a few daysleft to go. I feel your pain
(00:46):
because we are in Rockford, eventhough my kids don't go to Rockford yet.
So every single child under the sunwas out playing last night and I
was struggling to get my kids togo to bed. Here, don't worry
about that. As I stare upthe window, all those smiling is so
awake. The sun is still soawake. Mom. I know it's very
(01:07):
unfair, but just give it untilThursday. My guy, movies, music
and all the gossip in one place. It's the celebrities goop on Star one
oh five point seven. Oh Shawaited until Friday afternoon to drop the news.
But Jennifer Lopez will not be hittingthe road this summer at all.
The singer completely canceled her entire jLO This is Me Live Tour, a
(01:32):
rep for Live Nation, which wassupposed to get this underway this month and
have a bunch of North American datesthroughout August, has announced it is completely
done. They said, Jaylo's takingtime off to be with her children,
family and close friends. Jlo herselfaddressed the cancelation late on Friday, hopping
on her on the jay Low siteto say, I'm completely heartsick and devastated
(01:56):
about letting you down. Please knowthat I wouldn't do this if I didn't
feel it was absolutely necessary. Ipromise I'll make it up to you and
we will all be together again.I love you all so much until next
time. Now. There's been alot of rumor I've talked about this in
scoop that the ticket sales were really, really bad. There were even a
few cities that were dropped off ofthe tour list. Jalo's people say that
(02:16):
is not it at all. Infact, they've seen an uptick in some
of the bigger cities for ticket sales. She just needed this downtime. I'll
be honest, Schmitty. I mean, is anybody it's hard to feel bad
for somebody as wealthy and live itas luxurious of a life as Jalo.
At the same time, is anybodyhaving a worse year than her? It's
pretty rough and it got worse overthe weekend because if you saw the video
(02:38):
of her and Ben Affleck at afamily engagement, it looks like it was
one of Ben's kids sporting events.The two do not look very happy together,
and they notice the paparazzi and thenlean in and give like an air
kiss. They don't even actually touchfaces, further moving that rumor mill that
(03:00):
not going well in this relationship.Do you think they scheffer from like our
ff? Is it resting fighting faces? Because those two are always like they
always look like they were at eachother. Say if it wasn't like resting
faces like this is the most uncomfortablytense kiss I've seen. I got the
video West Michigan Star dot com.Finally, Justin Timberlake getting praised once again
(03:24):
by fans for stepping up and helpinga fan. The singer was at the
Moody Center that's at the University ofTexas at Austin a big show Saturday night
when he stopped the show noticing afan in distress. Sorry Monday one second,
one second reading some assistants right hereabout five rows. Yeah, Luckily
(03:46):
security immediately popped in. Justin apologizedto the crowd, but the crowd had
nothing but cheers and thankfulness. Paramedicsdidn't even need to get called. This
was a totally safe thing. Butreally getting some nice accolade this morning is
Obviously singers are more and more intune with what's going on in their audience.
This would needed help. Justin steppedin stop the show for about ten
minutes. It's all good. Imean, that's pretty awesome to do.
(04:09):
You do kind of have the catbirdlifeguard seat. I suppose to hear the
one up on stage of those catalksto be able to see what's going on
out there. Yeah, good spot. All of your celebt scoop at West
Michigan Star dot Com sometimes does thatget a good feeling. Let's start this
week. I'm a little positivity.It's feeling good on Starmino Fine point seven.
Mac and Schmidty with you. Andyou know your husband's big in afishing.
(04:30):
Schmitty. Has he considered magnify?Yeah, I know it looks pretty
cool though. I go down therabbit hole occasionally on Instagram or anything else
like that. If you don't know, it's where people throw very powerful magnets
over bridges and off into water andthen just pull out whatever comes in there.
Well, that was what James Kenand Barbie Agostino from New York we're
(04:53):
doing. And they were actually thrownit into a lake in Queens at Corona
Park there and what they pulled up, well, it was a surprise.
But it's also the thing that youknow, magnet fishermen are always looking for
safe, a safe in the water, because then your imagination could just run
crazy with itself. Maybe it's gotjunk in it, maybe it's full of
cash. In this case, itwas the latter. They pried open the
(05:16):
safe, Schmidti and found two hugestacks of cash totaling one hundred thousand dollars.
Talking to New York one. Theyjust said they could not believe their
luck. And when I first sawthe initial thought is we have found plenty
of safes before. This is justwhat a magnificier does you find safe?
Said? Then I saw the numbersand I said, babe, this is
this is not possible. Holy someprofanity, but you know, I don't
(05:42):
blame. And we pulled it outand it was like two stacks of freaking
hundreds. Yeah, and I bigshit not believe it. I thought it
was a joke. Once I seenthe actual dollars dollars and the little ribbons,
ribbons like one hundred in the securityribbons, I was like, oh
I lost it. Yeah, I'dlose it to one hundred thousand dollars is
(06:03):
what wound up being in the safeand check this out. They did the
right thing. They called the copsright away, let them know what was
going on. But because the billswere not linked to any crime on record
or any persons that they could find, this cash is going to be theirs,
free and clear, one hundred thousandbucks. They're chelty about the unexploded
grenade. Oh I thought that too. He's got a lot of those.
(06:24):
Yeah, you take the goat,the badge, y'all get those magnets down
there, all right, this isincredible. Of course, in just a
few days we will be remembering theeightieth anniversary of D Day, and for
some World War Two veterans still withus, they'll be heading back to Normandy.
For most of them, the firsttime they've been back since the end
(06:45):
of the war. That includes mailand grip. He answered his nation's call
to service at only eighteen and wasquickly shipped off to France and part of
the forty second Infantry Division known asthe Rainbow Division. They saw combat in
Germany, but of course, toMaelan, one of the most memorable moments
was when the forty second liberated theDoc Hoow concentration camp. In fact,
(07:09):
he was there as an American tankknocked down those front gates and remembers it
quite vividly. It was very jokingher ship people inshy were moaning, I
mean, you just almost can't believeit. It's just absolutely wild. While
the Elks Club of Florida, Maelanlives in Tampa, has now raised enough
(07:32):
money to take five World War Twoveterans that live in Florida back to Normandy
for the eightieth anniversary this week.It is something that Elk's Club president Rudy
Macy feels very very blessed to do, and there's a lot of healing that
takes place. It's a real honorand a privilege for me to kind of
pay back. Yeah, you cansee the whole interview with f La,
(07:55):
including Maylan talking more about those momentswith his brothers West Michigan Stuf. You
know, as we get further removedfrom things like that Schveetty, these stories
and these powerful moments like that becomemore important than ever, and we're keeping
them right, We're cataloging these,we're keeping the history of it. It's
very very important feeling good, alwayshere to tell you about great things going
on out in our world and giveyou something to take with you into the
(08:16):
rest of your day. Join usagain for another round coming up at nine
to twenty this morning on Star Movies, Music, and all the Gossip in
one place. It's the Celebritiescoop onStar one oh five point seven. Well,
the marriage questions just won't stop forTravis Kelsey, but over the weekend
it was none other than Jason Sudeikisin disguise trying to press him on sealing
(08:39):
the deal with Taylor Swift. RobertSmiegel and George wend along with Jason and
Travis as a guest star, performedto skit at the Big Slick Celebrity weekend
in Kansas City. It's a bigcharity event. When Jason made sure to
ask, what are you gonna makean honest woman out of our guys here?
(09:03):
What are you gonna be going on? She doesn't need anything warning anymore?
And again yeah, he even broughta Harrison Bucker's speech from that college
into it, saying, hey,she doesn't need to be working any longer.
A lot of the audience actually thoughtthis was a build up to an
(09:26):
announcement, but Travis simply sat therepretty quiet, rubbed his beard a few
times, and then warned, Okay, we're done with this topic. Is
this not one of the weirdest couplesin history? SCHMITTI with you about a
pressure that they get on them inpublic is just I don't know, it
feels totally natural to me now,perfectly fine. Shania Twain is sharing a
(09:48):
wonderfully glorious mess up from one ofher recent shows, tweeting out a video
of her over the weekend. Theproblem here is that she went to sing
into her microphone and accidentally started singinginto a prop. Yeah, true professional.
(10:16):
She was holding some kind of wandas part of her performance and held
that up to her lips and startedsinging. Couldn't really understand why it wasn't
coming out of the speakers, andthen said, oh wow, that's embarrassing
and hilarious. But this is whyshe continues to sell out that residency in
Vegas. People love her. Thatis awesome. I mean, I'm just
(10:37):
imagining her staring daggers over at herstage manager, like what is happening?
Yeah, she got a run awayand finally more bad publicity for the weekend
and his show The Idol. Sothere's now an extra that was on set
speaking to the Sun talking about howchallenging it was to film this show,
(10:58):
and they're mostly blaming the weekend.They claimed the extras would be on set
for ten to twelve hours, aday after they were promised tops six to
eight. They said the weekend waslate to set. All the time we
were constantly waiting on him to start. He would take longer lunches than everybody
else. Including the casting crew.It caused a lot of fatigue for the
(11:20):
extras, who were only given onemeal a day and some many water bottles.
They also claimed that even though everyonewas trying to stay upbeat, the
energy was just sucked out of theroom whenever he came, and because he
was looking for the perfect shot,it caused filming to have to reduce scenes
millions of times for him to getit exactly right. They say there it
(11:41):
was not shocking at all that itended after one season and that the final
episode was eventually cut. Yeah.I mean, at first it seemed like
critics were into it, and thenthat faded very very fast. Well,
and I mean, this is notthe first time we were hearing this.
It makes us you don't necessarily wantto do any acting Alongside the weekend all
of your celeb scoop, including thatfull interview at West Michigan Star dot Com
(12:01):
from one to two, it's Mackand Schmitty and that doesn't sound like fun.
Schmitty a kid just getting on tosummer vacation and summer maybe done.
Yeah, your worst summer injury.So I have one of my best friends,
her kids got out of school onFriday, that was their last day
summer break could be gone. Fastforward maybe four hours and a game of
(12:26):
kickball. He has broken his arm. I mean he played all summer.
Break your arm and kickball? Youhave kids? Are you kidding me?
My kids could break them standing still? Like pardon me? So now she
like she texts me, She goes, Oh my gosh, You're not gonna
believe this. It's even worse becausethis is like he wasn't even playing the
(12:48):
sport he usually plays. This waslike a neighborhood pickup game of kickball,
and she's like, we have togo to a specialist. Might need surgery,
definitely in a cast. Do youremember what that was like? You
can't swim, you can't go onthe sprinklers, You've got to wear a
bag when you shower. I wasgoing to say, his technology made it
so that you don't have to weara garbage bag across and I just thought,
(13:09):
Oh my gosh, how devastating fora twelve year old to think.
I just ended my summer in thefirst five hours of its starting. He
had to cancel two of his sportscamps. How old is he? He's
twelve? Twelve years olds man?Does he do you think he can.
Can he move his fingers and hishands and stuff still? Oh? Man,
(13:31):
no, maybe he could use alighter to lights and a full cast.
And I thought to myself, Man, you always have a summer injury
story. Like I can remember therewas a guy I went to high school
with. He was up north atone of our friend's cabins mid June and
they were tubing and he flew offthe tube and shattered his fibula. Oh
(13:54):
and he had that cast until afterThanksgiving. Yeah, where he's gone?
Like what was it? Because Iput this up on our Facebook and I
was stunned. People have already hada problem. Moon just said. First
day on the job as a fenceinstaller, I lifted a heavy garbage bag
full of dirt and ended up ina partial cast for six weeks. I
(14:16):
tore the muscle in my forearm.Oh my goodness. It's always And it's
like why these things barely happen inwinter? I mean it's like if you're
snowboarding, your skiing, something happens. Why is it the gorgeous months in
Michigan where the worst possible injury willhappen. So Emma over in our newsroom
Schmidty if he didn't know her dad. Her father just broke his dislocated his
(14:39):
knee cap and when they put itback in realized there was a fracture going
all the way through his knee.Had to be hospitalized for days. Now
he's gonna be knocked up until hecan get surgery. It has to heal
for a while, yeah, andeven start surgery, and then the rehabilitation.
His summer is gone. I justI feel for people with kids that
(15:00):
this happens too, because how inthe world do you keep your kids from
like, how do you keep themsafe after an injury in summer? Diane,
I just received four staples in myhead this past Saturday. I was
putting up a pergola and it fellthis project. Gosh six one six four
(15:22):
five eight one oh five seven,your worst summer injury or maybe someone it
happened to, Oh something about apergola. The reason you were injured just
sounds so summer. Yeah. Imean to be fair, Diane, I
love a pergola and you're gonna beso thrilled when it does go up.
But maybe hire someone because honey,I want that head to be just fine.
(15:43):
Here are the facts with human torchwas denied a bankaloverde Let's be real.
Most of the stuff we click onit's not because it's important, it's
because, well, it's morbidly fascinating. That's what we got for you.
It is this week's fine. Well, put Soul, South Korea on your
travel to list, because in HanRiver Park they just crowned the power nap
(16:07):
winner. They actually had hundreds ofpeople show up for this. A big
shout out to a free lance announcernamed Fonso Ah the best napper in the
world. I don't know if I'veever been more jealous. I would think
I could beat him. By eightyone year old slingshots suspect arrested. An
eighty one year old man who's beenarrested in connection with slingshot incidents in a
(16:29):
California Native Police say the only motivethey can find is just malicious mischief.
This feels like the e true Hollywoodstory of Dennis the men Ish have no
idea how to use a slingshot.That's impressive. Get your kid's finger paints
ready? Did you see the pintsized Picasso? He's been called. A
two year old boy in Germany hasbeen selling his finger paints for around seven
(16:52):
thousand dollars. Inch, you're nothanging those in the fridgee Customers lick eggs
to receive food poisoning compensation. Aruction supermarket had eighteen people fall ill to
food poisoning, so they promised onemillion rubles to customers who suffered food poisoning.
Immediately inundated with customers licking the eggstrying to get food poisoning. We
(17:15):
do not judge the side hustles here. Goodbye. A mom was fined eighty
eight thousand dollars after her kids accidentallypicked up clams on a California beach thinking
they were seashells. She was issueda two concitation for fishing without a license
and collecting pismo clams eighty eight thousanddollars. They better all have pearls in
(17:41):
them. Show you're a Michigan.Moment that ain't gonna happen here, y'all.
Goodbye. Newlyweds hop into ring afterlearning wedding was next to a wrestling
match. A Scottish couple got married, found out there was a live wrestling
event next door, decided to hopinto the ring. Some couples just can't
wait for the honeymoon s bill,bad bite headlines. You see any great
ones out there, got to sendthem our way. At West Michigan Stock
(18:06):
Movies, music and all the gossipin one place, it's the celebrities gup
on Star one oh five point seven. Well. Taylor Swift has been known
to be extra aware of her fansexperience at her shows, and from time
to time she has had to callin security to help fellow people that she
loves in that audience. But todo it in French is just so Taylor
(18:27):
Swift. She was on stage duringher show in Leon over the weekend pointing
to a member of the audience askingif they need help. Clearly they gave
her some kind of yes because shestopped her show to make sure security got
to her in French. Yah's lacythe thank you can we get someone to
(18:48):
go over? And not only werefans thankful that she stopped the show to
help this fan, but they're like, ah, her French was on point,
like we'd expect anything different from Taylorwhatever stage stage. This was all
just to show off the fact thatshe's been using a dual lingo for the
last time that the latest thing she'stalking. Adele does not play around during
(19:14):
Pride Month, and do not thinkyou can show up to her vaguest show
and shout something like Pride sucks withoutgetting the attention of this queen. What
was that works? Did? Youcan play prize socks? You can come
to my show just hit a prizesock. So you thanks? You got
(19:37):
nothing nice? Sim so you gotnothing nice to say? Shut up,
but do not come into my showand say something like that. Not sure
if the person had to be removed, but the audience was definitely chanting.
Kick him out, man. Someperformers, they'll ignore the audiences and generally
keep going. I love that Adeleis an active, participating member of on
(20:00):
stage. A lot of people goto the show, all right. Jason
Kelsey has taken a very interesting stanceon X and honestly it is a chef's
kiss lesson in dealing with your trolls. The former Eagle star was on the
site Saturday engaging in a troll whoclaims Jason doesn't wash himself. So instead
(20:22):
of just letting that sit there orfiring back, he played into it,
writing what kind of weirdo washes theirfeet? He continued, saying, all
of you have been fed diabolical liesthat washing every crevice of your bodies and
hair all the time is somehow betteror healthier. Any dermatologist not in bed
with big soap will agrade hotspots areall that's necessary and actually leads to cleaner,
(20:48):
healthier skin. Have a great day. The Harrison Budker remake of the
speech right there is pretty fantastic.I love Jason Kelsey's The butter Brother.
I'll say it. I say itevery time, all of you your selib

Thomas. I'll say because it's thefirst thing that popped in my head,
(21:30):
but not on the list Thomas theTrain. How is Thomas the Train not

tank Engine. Oh my good.Some of us have been watching that show
more recently. I guess my kidsare older now, I'm sorry, all
right? Six one, six,four, five, eight, one oh

The marvelous mustache of Tom Selleck.However, Magnum p I is not
(22:38):

One hundred men were asked to namea famous Tom or Thomas. I
just got a good guest from Andrea, who said Tom Selleck. But the
mustache was not on the list.So what do you think that top answer
is there, Dave, Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise, no mustache, But
(23:22):
if you actually look at his face, one of his big teeth is directly
in the center of his face,and once you see it, you can't
unsee it. It will always bethere when you watch Top Gun, and
it is also the top answer.Congratulates day. You gotta imagine dragons tikets.
Thank you, you are very welcome. Yes, it was Tom Cruise,
(23:45):
followed by Thomas Jefferson then Tom HanksAmerica's Sweetheart, and Thomas Edison rounding

kids maybe going to have to checkout imagine dragons at Pine Knob. Thank
you very much. You are verywelcome. We'll do it again tomorrow.
Another chance to weigh eight fifteen Battleof the Sexes here on Star. Of
(24:10):
course, kids all over West Michiganfeeling good, or have at least that
anticipation of feeling good with the endof the school year upon us, and
that also means a lot of timessmitty getting teachers are wonderful teachers. A
gift something get both my kids teachersgifts, Yes, something at the end
of the year. Could be somethingextremely small, even a handwritten card,
anything like that. My mom wasa teacher forever, my wife is a
(24:32):
teacher forever, and those things meanthe world. But that's also nice when
you get you know, those coffeegift cards or we've talked about wine,
perfectly acceptable gift. But what's theweird ones? I want to know,
teachers, what is the weird giftyou received? Because my wife thinks about
it every single year. She wasa fourth grade teacher for a long time
and one of her years in LasVegas. At the end of the year,
(24:52):
a little boy fourth grade gave herLingerie styles stockings as her end of
like fish nets. Kind of yeahabout that. I wouldn't say full on
fish net, but pretty there wasa mistake made there. Nope, Mom
runs those kinds of parties. Yeah, and thought that it would be a
(25:12):
nice like intro into the possibility ofsoliciting to come to one of those.
Yeah, it was a multi levelmarketing. That's you know, it's a
pretty bold move. But you know, when you're with a ten year old
voice, some dignity standing in frontof you as you opened these netting stockings
up awkward moment to say the leastone that my wife will never forget.
(25:34):
You know what? That brings upa great point. My mom was a
teacher and she never opened the giftsin front of the GISTs. Oh that's
smart because you never know what's goingto be in those boxes. You can't
hide everything that comes across your facethere, schmidde. Wow, the ones
on our Facebook page would definitely havemy jaw on the floor with a few
of these. How about my songave his teacher A five thousand dollars diamond
(25:56):
heart ring that was given to meby my mother in law. She thought
it was costume jewelry. When shewent to conference, she told me I
told her what it was worth.Oh she gave it back thankfully. Yeah,
Hi, that stuff. Oh whatdo you know? I am wearing
your gift. It was very nicelike this. Oh that was a tough
one, Sherry. This is definitelythe weird one. Schimiddie Jill said,
(26:18):
what if my first grade students gaveme the exoskeleton of his recently molted pets
Arancela. You know what though,based on the kid, that's like a
lifetime gift. He must have reallyenjoyed your teaching. Not necessarily something i'd
get, but man, he lovedyou. Last, but not least,
camillel Say's cowboy boots and tables glasstops. I love them and still have
(26:41):
them, have had over had hadthem for over ten years. An Marie
I used basic white coffee cup,just pulled right out of the cupboard.
No, I think it's like astyrofoam cup. He probably found in the
teacher's lounge and was like, Iwant to show you how much I loved
you this year. Really appreciate thisevery time. Well, what howver that
weird gift you've gotten, go aheadgive us call tell us about a six
(27:03):
one six, four eight one fiveseven. I hit itself on Facebook at
West Michigan Star Happy end of theschool year. Sometime does I get a
good feeling? Start little five pointseven. It's smacking comedian and it's time
to get you feeling good. Thisis incredible and what a cool opportunity.
(27:23):
Both men's and women's swim and divingteam members at Calvin University traveled all the
way to Thai Land last month toteach life saving water skills to students over
there. Fourteen members in all allraised money and funded their way over to
partner with Paladin Rescue Alliance. It'san organization focused on rescuing those in human
(27:48):
trafficking situations. You might think,wait a minute, swim lessons, how
does that connect well in a reallybig way. According to head swim coach
at Calvin, Dan Gelderloose, it'snot just teaching water survival, but it
can boost confidence and it transitions tohelp in all different types of situations.
It's a very big deal, hetells, what I think it's all kind
(28:10):
of goes into making this bigger thanwhat's just about swimming while going to school,
and making this an experience for thesestudents that allows them to connect with
kids halfway around the world and plansome seeds over there that's going to affect
their lives. Yeah, outside ofswimming, Calvin students taught survival skills,
(28:32):
English, cooking, CPR, othersurvival skills. And this isn't the first
time. Three trips have already happened, with more than fifty student athletes participating
in the program, funding their owntrips and going across the world to teach
these incredible skills. I think thatis so cool. I think it's really
incredible. And when we talk abouteducation, these are college students, after
(28:52):
all, being able to have thiskind of worldly experience like this that you
wouldn't otherwise get these unbelievable when yougo to college. Honestly, it's incredible,
all right, chwddy, this isjust cute and funny, and you
gotta see this video Joe Kelty andhis fiance Katie Perry in Chestertown, England.
Well, Carrie, she's penguin obsessed. So back at Valentine's Day,
(29:14):
her fiance Joe, who's a thirtysix year old electrician. He surprised her
