Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Wake up. It gets my daygoing and makes me laugh. I love
it. Mac in Schmitty in theMorning on Star one O five point seven,
Well, good born in Schmitty.Oh, welcome back to a Monday.
Oh isn't it though? How wasyour weekend? Oh that was all
right, It was all right.Uh man. I gotta tell you I
was complaining about my allergies a bunchlast week. I mean, I feel

(00:24):
like Mother Nature heard me and said, oh, yeah, you think that's
bad. Let me just make itreal, windy, send you outside to
do your softball games and all sortsof yardwork, and let's just see how
those allergies are doing you and everybodyelse. Boys, we're gonna talk at
seven ton this morning because I postedsomething last night that went absolutely wild with

(00:45):
how many people are suffering this yearwith the allergies, but has it ever
led to an injury? Cincher hashnI was gonna say, so, you're
saying it could be worse. Movies, music, and all the gossip in
one place. It's the Celebrities groupon Star one oh five point seven.
Well, Julia Louis Dreyfus disagrees withher former co star Jerry Seinfeld on comedy

(01:10):
turning to politically correct saying that stanceusually sets off some pretty big alarm bells
for her. The actress is ina new interview with The New York Times
that came out over the weekend.She talks about the remarks that Jerry made
when he called out the extreme leftfor ruining comedic television. Julia says,

(01:30):
when I hear people starting to complainabout political correctness, and I understand why
people might push back on it,but to me, that's a red flag
because it seems sometimes it means somethingelse. I believe being aware of certain
sensitivities is not a bad thing.I don't know how else to say it,
she said in a different part ofthe interview. People's viewpoints have changed,

(01:53):
which just has naturally led to moresensitivity towards the feelings of others.
But obviously worth waiting. How Juliaherself would say. She's a very staunch
Democrat, so that could be partof this as well. I don't know
if Jerry's read this. He hasn'tsaid anything about it since, you know.
I think it's just a more nuancedtake on what they were trying to
talk about. Anyway, it's nota one size fits all thing, all

(02:15):
right, Reyes Weatherspoon talking about herreal name, and it's kind of got
the internet. It shook. Soshe sat down with Nicole Kidman as part
of the Vanity Fair Interview and thetwo were reminiscing about shooting their highly highly
awesome TV series Big Little Lies,and Nicole pointed out why Rece always calls

(02:36):
Laura Dern Dern. I hate howyou call her dermo why because it sounds
weird. I'm gonna tell you why. It's like, okay, why I'm
always like Laura, do you knowwhy? And you're like, no,
durn durn r Because my name isLaura. Oh, her name is Laura,
and it's confusing to me. Myreal name's Largie. That's right,

(02:57):
So I get confused on carder Cal, I don't, okay, So that's
why cornor lord Gie if you didn'tknow. Reese actually changed her name as
soon as she got to Hollywood earlyon in her career to Reese Witherspoon,
but not her actual legal names.So when fans are really confused about why,
she always says during durn durnan'ce becausethey're both Laura's un set. Oh
is her last name actually Witherspoon orwas that part not sheer? I don't

(03:21):
know if it legally is. Ido know she had like she is part
of the Witherspoon family. Like shegoes all the way back to like coming
on the Mayflower. Oh oh yeah, she goes away bad the Spoon.
So minute money, a bit ofmoney. Finally, Will Smith's Bad Boys
Ride or Die took over the boxoffice this weekend, making almost sixty million

(03:42):
dollars domestically, which is considered abig success. But this was a very
cool moment when he showed up toan LA area screening of his new movie
on Friday night, stunning fans.Will explains it's part of his ritual.
Where Baldwin Hills were about to gointo theater is a ritual I have.
I do it, like when Ihave a movie come out Friday Saturday,
after usually a Matt and Nail Sunday, I like going to theaters. It's

(04:05):
wild. He's just sitting in thetheater. He's got a mask on,
so you probably wouldn't tell who hewas. And then as soon as the
movie's over, he just kind ofwalks out and starts taking pictures with fans.
People are super super excited about thisis a great video, and he
says he's done this for every singlemovie that's ever come out from him.
I think it's cool and yet kindof infuriating that the star of the movie

(04:28):
that they're all in there to watchthey don't know about it. You could
treat that theater to the moment.I mean, maybe not of a lifetime,
but certainly a moment. I'll alwayswords, we'll shit it afterwards.
Nothing is like, hey, everybody, it's me. I got the video
for you. With your scoop atWest Michigan Star dot Com. Sometime does
not get a good feeling well overthe weekend, Schmitty perfection was on the

(04:50):
line, and this team delivered.It's stalinofon points. Step In Macka.
Schmitty was feeling good right now andGrand Rafiends Catholic Central Girls Lacrosse Minnie give
a tip of the cap because theywent into the Division two state championship this
weekend a perfect twenty two to oh. But a very tall test was in
front of them in the form ofDetroit Country Day, who was the defending

(05:14):
state champs at girls lacrosse and Itwas a battle, absolutely back and forth.
It went until a tie game latein the fourth quarter. Claire Marrosi
scores the game winning goal, hersecond of the game, and that gave
them the lead for good, tento nine. The Grand Rapids girls getting

(05:35):
the job done, winning a statechampionship and a perfect twenty three to oh
regular season. Coach Dan Kuruku aswell as Claire Mercury, caught up with
Fox seventeen, just obviously overjoyed bywinning the state title. To be the
best, you have to beat thebest, and they're the defending stage champs,

(05:56):
and you know, we knew itwould be just a battle, mean
so much like we've all been workingtogether, like all these girls and since
fourth grade, ever since I firstpicked ed my stake there on my side,
So still was really good to finishit with them too. That's right,
twenty three and OHO, big congratsto the Grand Rapids Catholic Central girls.
It's a huge deal for the Cougars. We played Detroit Country Day often
in high school and they are veryvery good. All right, Let's talk

(06:17):
about this incredible person, Jason McGuire, who is taking boating not just as
his business but as his Legacy.The forty eight year old runs Riverside Marina
in Detroit. He is currently theonly black marina operator in the entire state
of Michigan and one of only eightin the entire United States. This is

(06:41):
a big deal to him. Talkingwith XYZ Listen, we're in the Great
Lakes State. Let's talk about watersafety. City popper cents surf surrounded by
water. So learning something, learningus feel in his field will allow you
to be able to travel. Welearn in this role and find work.
As a community have to come togetherto be a big call for these opportunities
to our youth, and that's exactlywhat he's doing. Overside Marina has teamed

(07:04):
up with the Great Lakes Boat BuildingSchool. It's a new program called Surge,
hoping to prepare the next generation forcareer and boating. There are more
than thirty thousand jobs in the marinaindustry and not many people are educated about
the field. I mean talk aboutmaguire, the only black marina operator in
the entire state of Michigan. Hesaid, this is going to be incredible.

(07:27):
It'll be giving people, excuse me, young people between the ages of
fourteen and twenty four a chance toexplore these skills. Plus the program is
completely free. That's how important McGuirethinks this is. I'll put the story
up West Michigan Star dot com.You can grab some info. It's something
that maybe sounds great for your kids. Pretty awesome when you see somebody take
their passion and just extend it intoteaching others and get somebody else to love

(07:50):
that same thing. Really cool,feeling good. Always here to give you
something positive. You know, wegot negative all around us all the time.
We get that, so we're herewith more positivity, more good news.
Kevin, You're way this morning atnine to twenty on starlin on five
point seven movies, music and allthe gossip in one place. It's the
celebrities gooop on Star one oh fivepoint seven. Well, this definitely continues

(08:13):
the rumors that their serious trouble inParadise. Apparently, the home Jennifer Lopez
and Ben Affleck bought just over ayear ago has quietly been listed off the
market. Sources say they're using arealtor from the agency to sell the home.

(08:33):
They snagged this massive Beverly Hills mansionfor just over sixty million dollars.
Remember, they were on the huntfor more than two years, looked at
more than eighty properties. So Ben'salready moved out of the house reportedly and
is living in a rental in Brentwood, and apparently j Lo is looking for
a new house. The home hasbeen shown for about two weeks now,

(08:56):
very very quiet, but it's worthpointing out Jaylo was seen out to dinner
with friends. Ben was not anywherenear there on Saturday night, but she
was still wearing her wedding ring.They're saying it's just for looks. This
is definitely done for and as soonas the house is gone they'll be able
to move on with splitting other thingsand be done. Yeah. I mean,

(09:18):
what a roller coaster over the courseof twenty plus years. That would
make sense, though, Like they'retrying to keep it quiet and just kind
of unload that house super secretly.Oh we don't get a documentary about this
part of the relationship. Caitlyn Clarkis addressing the Olympic snub, but getting
candid about missing out on the Olympicsteam. After she was left off the

(09:41):
roster. This news broke and fanswere really really upset about it. She
was talking with reporters before her gameyesterday. I think I'm excited for the
girls that are on the team.I know it's the most competitive team in
the world, and I know itcould have gone either way. Maybe on
the team, may not being onthe team. Yeah, she added,
I'm excited for them. I'm goingto be rooting for them to win gold.

(10:01):
But she also added that the Olympicsquad is definitely one of her long
term goals. Would not be surprisedif she's got her sights set on that
twenty twenty eight team, which howperfect is in LA and I hope that
she's on it. Unfortunately, forthis, I feel like the person or
the group that loses out on hernot being part of this is the team,
the women's team for this year,having all those extra eyeballs on women's

(10:24):
basketball. There's huge names on theOlympic team this year. That's what other
people are pointing out as well.They're like, listen, she is a
great tailor, but honestly, allof these women are. She was never
a shoe in and I think sherespects that too. Taylor Swift is once
again being praised for helping out fansstraight up refusing to continue her song until

(10:46):
security could get to someone who lookedlike needed help. The video has gone
viral from over the weekend, wherethe singer was in Scotland in the middle
of her would could have should haveshe made sure that they could find where
this fan was at. I don'twant to be just gonna keep playing until
notice where it is right right there. I'm just gonna like playing till somebody

(11:15):
helps down. I'm gonna keep thisdo just let me know when I could
do this all night. Okay,you're good. Up. It was pretty
perfect and true tailor fashion. Bythe way, the next stop on the
air stour is Liverpool, where shehas three shows scheduled for this Father's Stay

(11:35):
weekend. That's a pro move rightthere. Your That video is up with
your scoop at West Michigan Star dotcom. Good morning to you. It's
back in Smiddy. Just a coupleof allergy shuffers over here with you today.
I'm brand new to this. Thisis brand new for you, like
I've not. And I feel badtalking about it because I know so many
people are going to be like,oh, well, I've had this for
years, blah blah blah. Neverhave I ever had a problem with allergies,

(11:56):
and the last two years it hascompletely taken over my life. And
I'm hearing that from so many people, and I don't know if it's just
I've hit my thirties and that canhappen, Like you can actually get allergies
later in life. It doesn't haveto be something that you're born with.
And I put this up on ourInstagram at West Michigan Star last night and
I said, man, after yearsof living in peaceful partnership, it has

(12:22):
happened. I've absolutely been taken out. I don't know if it's cottonwood,
oak wood, regular wood. There'sabout a billion things out there apparently that
are just invading your nostrils. Andwhile sixty percent of you said I seem
to be handling it, forty percentsaid I'm absolutely dead. It is decimating
me. And it was really reallyawesome positive news because one of our gardener

(12:46):
friends on my other show said alot of people blame the cottonwood, like
that, ain't it. What you'restruggling with is oak wood, and it's
this microscopic stuff that's coming out ofall these gorgeous trees. And you've got
about two more weeks of that line. Okay, so wait a second,
yes, oh is there. Ican only make the assumption that there is
coming out of oak trees. Sothis is it for me? Sminni?

(13:07):
Is this the thing that has beenabsolutely ruining my life for the last couple
of years because we talked about howmy oak trees have like shed all that
stuff off them and like, youknow, tons of poundages of these Well
no, because you shouldn't be ableto see it. That's the worst part
of that. But I got abunch of oaks. I was like,
well, it's that big, white, fluffy stuff. He said, no,
that's bad, but he goes,what actually affects a lot of people

(13:30):
in a very different way is theoak wood pollen, so which my husband
says, yeah, our show hasn'teven dropped yet, so it's like,
great, I have another huge roundof this stuff. And it has I
mean, it has taken me out. And I had a friend come into
town over the weekend because she hada big graduation open house yesterday, and
she said, do you mind goingwith me? I won't know anybody,

(13:52):
but it's my boss's daughter. Iknow her boss very very well. I
said, yeah, sure, noproblem. We go to this so open
house yesterday, lovely gorgeous day,by the way for an open house.
But when the sun's out and you'reenjoying me outside, you know what that
means. I was just completely hazed, glazed over. I mean, I
couldn't even because not only are youjust struggling with the fact that you have

(14:16):
these allergies, but I'm also puttingany kind of allergy medication into my system
whatsoever. So and you're one ofthose people who sneezes when you see the
sun. Anyway, So I'm atthis open house, we decide to take
off. I leave the tent,I have the sunshine hit me, and
I'm immediately into a sneezing fit,to the point where I'm trying to like
walk it off and pretend that nothing'sgoing on. And nobody thinks I'm really

(14:37):
gross, and they've just gotten donesitting with me, and they're certain I've
gotten them sick. And I'm sneezingso hard i trip over the rope of
the tent and I like nearly sprainmy angle. Booh, just yards sailing
it in some some stranger's yards.Have you guys have the allergies? Actually
caused you an injury because I'm actuallyI'm afraid to drive. I'm afraid to

(14:58):
drive. It's like happened to meon the road? Is it a freaking
I'll start sneezing, and I'm like, everybody moved to the side. I
have no idea what I'm doing.I'm not on my phone, and i
haven't been drinking. It's just myface no longer enjoys nature. To be
honest, Mitty, I'm just surprisedany of us are making it in a
world where you can sneeze while driving. The one thing you can't do with
your eyes open. You're jerking yourbody all sorts of muscles clench inside,

(15:22):
and yet you are doing it behindthe wheel of a two ton vehicle.
Everybody's telling me I need to goin for the shots. They're like,
you need to start the allergy shotsright now. They're telling me. They're
like, oh, man, Istarted seven years ago. I haven't had
an issue in years. I mean, I think I gotta do it because
this is undoing. This You've saidyours is pretty bad. It's the worst.

(15:43):
Like, I'm scared that the restof my life will be like what
the last two springs have been andyou're just gonna have to wear sunglasses all
the time, all the time.I mean, I am walking around here
just my eyes bright red, andpeople I don't know I run into and
it's like, no, I promiseyou, I have not been haven't doing
anything. This is just my liferight now. Gootchye, we're gonna go

wore back in two thousand and twofor his Without Me song. Nina Tooley

the video, which, in thefamily's opinion, speaks to the enduring brilliance
of the TV show and her father'sversion of the caped Crusader. She said
that she could definitely hear her dad'sdistinct chuckle when Eminem was trying to scale
a building with the batrope, justlike West would have done back in the

for getting this week started with us. Appreciate you being here. It's back
and Smitty, and I want totalk to you about the massive messes you
have made in your life on accident. You know you didn't do it on
purpose, right, because at theend of last week I had a pretty

(24:19):
great one, Smitty, where Iand then you know, it was late
at night. My kids had actuallyjust gone to bed, and so I
hadn't given them their bedtimes yet.But anyway, I'm about to settle down
and watch a movie with my wife, and I stub my toe so hard,
and you know, you're just yourworst person in that moment, like
I could barely talk. I'm soangry. I don't want anyone to talk.

(24:41):
Where'd that end table come from?Out of nowhere? Am freaking out
on the inside, I mean men'spain. And I sit there for a
couple of minutes and then it's like, oh, yeah, I gotta go
do my body slams, give thekids hugs and kisses, can I?
So I get up, and Iwalk from my living room and I go
through my kitchen and then I walkto my son's and it's dark. Dark,

(25:02):
wholehouse is dark. I go andI do my body slams on my
son and I'm, you know,tucking him in. Then I do the
same thing with my daughter and Igive her hugs, and then I go
into my bedroom for a second.I put the phone on the charger.
I walk back out, and I'msitting in on our couch for a while.
And then I get up about fifteenminutes later to go get a drink

(25:22):
of water, and I see somethingon the ground and so that I turn
on the kitchen light and there arebloody footprints all round, all over,
and so immediately I know what happened. I look down my toe is this
Now it's got like dried blood onthe thing, but it clearly just absolutely
gushed after I stubbed it. AndI know I didn't know. That's what

(25:45):
my wife. That's all over yourhardwood, your carpet, every room,
you've gone into, the couch,everywhere, Smitty. We had to wake
my kids up because we were sofreaked out that it was all gonna stain
because to get cold ice water basicallyon blood. Immediately, I wasn't worried
about the wood floors, but wegot like a white cream colored couch that

(26:07):
my foot was just up on.We go, my bedroom's got it,
my daughter's bedroom, my son's bedroom. Everywhere there is blood. And my
wife just kept saying that same thingthat you did. How do you not
know? I asked me again.Maybe I'll figure it out this time.
Oh my gosh, I had alreadysuffered through the foot stubbing. I just
couldn't handle any more. Schmidty.What was the accidental mess that you've had?

(26:27):
Because man, our people on Facebookput up some good ones here,
Schmitty. They took mess to adifferent level. How about Holly who said
when I worked at the bank,I accidentally ordered thirty five thousand dollars in
fives instead of fifties. Everybody needsa good five. That's like a sandwich.
Girl. You're fine sometime because Iget a good feeling. All right,

(26:51):
let's put some positivity into this Mondaymorning, Mac and Schmidty on startin
a five point seven with feeling goodright now. Imagine being an activist and
then doing a complete career and reallylife change, becoming an amazing role model.
That's what happened for Johnny Burress.He was a former staffer with pure
violence here in West Michigan and thenmade the switch to firefighter after a chance

(27:15):
encounter with the Grand Rapids fire chief. It's pretty incredible. It sparked a
conversation about becoming a firefighter, anddespite never thinking of that career before,
Bress is not only a firefighter butusing his platform to show young people that
this career path is an option,and he's making incredible relationships in the meantime,

(27:37):
becoming a true mentor in his community. That's what he says to Fox.
I want to beat a change,right if I could change myself,
hopefully one of the little young mento see me working hard and here follow
I'm black, I got dreads andI'm hopping off the back of that truck.
Some of these kids is looking atme like a superhero. I believe
that. You know, I havebeen chosen to be one of the few.

(27:57):
But everybody have it in them.You just got to find it.
You just got to find it.It's an inspiring reminder that it's never too
late to make a change for thegood. Bress says, it's actually the
best job in the whole wide world. If you really want to know the
truth, he's pretty fantastic, notonly serving as a firefighter, but he

(28:17):
is still a huge mentor in thecommunity. He says, hard work and
determination you can do anything. Let'sthe phrase, be the change you want
to see Schmiddy in the world.Yep, I'll put the story up at
West Michigan Star dot com. AllRight, mine is a real quick personal
one, Schmitty, But I knowthat every parent who is ever sent through
the dregs of a miserable sports seasonfor their child can relate to this.

(28:37):
Yeah. On Saturday was my daughter'sfinal softball game for the year. This
was her first year ever playing softball. Was really nervous to do it,
and the only way we got herto do it was my wife agreed to
be the head coach of this team. And ironically, the team known as
the Champions, had not won asingle game the entire season, and it

(29:02):
made my daughter feel terrible. Itmade my wife feel terrible about, you
know, the girls not having asmuch fun as they could be having if
they were winning. They felt awful. So going into Saturday, we were
playing a team that we had alreadylost to twice. We've been mercied most
of the games that we played,and I don't know what happened if the
girls ate their weedies that morning orit was just luck was on our side,

(29:22):
but an offensive explosion. Shitty,there you go. Unbelievable winning the
game. I believe twelve to eightwas the final score. But everybody played
great. All the girls who didn'tget hits all season, all of them
were getting hits. Nice. Everythingwas working. And for every parent who
has ever had to watch your kidlose and lose and lose and lose,
knows what that's like. To endthe season with all smiles, everybody happy,

(29:47):
and of course some frosty boy afterthe game. Perfect way to end
the season. See me as astudent athlete, I'm like, well,
that's the end of my career.You don't want to shoot too high.
Feeling good gives at you twice today. I always trying to spread smiles for
you. We'll do it again tomorrowsix forty five and nine twenty here on
Star one oh five point seven.Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday,
starting at six am on Star oneoh five point seven
