it. Mac and Schmitty in theMorning on Star one oh five point seven.
Good lord in Schmitty, Hey,welcome into your Wednesday. Yes,
Ray, welcome into hump Day.It's a mile starts to day. Mind
fifties out there, cooler at theLake Shore, mid forties. But here's
(00:23):
the thing, Smitty, So we'regonna see some rain showers pop up,
especially over the next hour or tworound West Michigan north of Grand Rapids.
I'm you know what, I won'tplay that game. Okay, that'd being
said. After that, we're gonnaget way warm. We got days in
the the coming forecast where we're gonnastart hearing the people go, Oh my
gosh, so movies, music,and all the gossip in one place.
(00:47):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one ohfive point seven. Ooh, it was
a big night. Bye none otherthan rapper fifty Cents, who minute a
top priority to be present at aMiami post roasting none other than Ditty.
Of course, if you're not aware, the two have been rivals and enemies
(01:07):
for years. Fifty was the ipat a brand new venue called the Dead
Flamingo pop up with a brutal roastof Ditty, which was hosted by comedians
Britney Brave and Danny cream City sparedthe music mogul no mercy. These jokes
were pretty wild. There were evendomestic violence jokes, which some fans had
(01:30):
an issue with, but Fifty addressingthings on his Instagram saying, listen,
this is what comedy is. It'sunfiltered. Oh and by the way,
all of the proceeds went to theNational Domestic Violence Hotline. So all of
these really intense jokes were going towardsa good cause. It doesn't seem like
Diddy's got any friends left in Hollywood. I'll be like, I find this
(01:52):
to be a fascinating thing to havedone. You know what I mean.
You don't hear about roast when somebody'sin the middle of you know, corporate
Yeah, stuff that's going on withthem? What a move. Well,
Brittany Brave, the comedian that hostedthat, actually spoke about that exact thing,
which is up at West Michigan Stardot com. Rihanna said yes,
yes, yes, she is readyto start working on music again after teasing
(02:15):
her retirement last week. Remember Ihad that story about the I'm retired t
shirt that really triggered fans. Whileat the launch for her newest business venture,
Fentie Hair, she talked with EntertainmentTonight about some of the music for
a new album already being done.She's got fresh perspective now and she's ready.
Music for me is a new isa new discovery. I'm rediscovering things.
(02:40):
I have been working on the albumfor so long that I kind of
just like put all that stuff aside, and now I'm prepared to go back
in new studio. So I'm nowI'm prepared, so I'm going to start
starting over. But I don't wantto neglect the songs that I have,
So I'm I want to go backand night listen to stuff with new airs,
(03:04):
with my new perspective, and thensee what foot applies and what I
still I'm in love with. Shealso talked about family, saying she is
definitely ready to have more kids,but denied any pregnancy rumors that fans had
been floating around. Whatever oday,We're going to get our nine. I
expect more children before a new album. All right, Now to the crazy
lawsuit that has been launched by oneof the Four Tops singers suing a Michigan
(03:31):
hospital for racial discrimination. Alexander Morrisjoined the band back in twenty nineteen and
has filed a lawsuit against Ascension MacombeOakland Hospital. He says last April,
he was rushed by ambulance suffering chestpain and difficulty breathing to the hospital,
and when he got there, hetold a nurse in security that he was
(03:53):
member of the famous Motown band becausehe just tends to be careful given fans
and people trying to follow him.He claims a white security guard and a
white er doctor did not believe hewas famous, worst they thought he was
mentally ill. They ordered a psychexam. In the suit, Alexander claims
he was taken off oxygen, strappedinto a restraining jacket, and only taken
(04:17):
out of the straight jacket after ninetyminutes when he was finally able to show
another nurse a video of him performingat the Grammys. He says he received
a lower standard of care based onhis race. He was ultimately diagnosed with
a heart problem that might need aheart transplant and pneumonia. He says he
suffered three seizures during his hospitalization andclaims after all was said and done,
(04:43):
the hospital offered him a twenty fivedollars grocery store gift card. He is
going after the hospital for serious damages. And it sounds like I mean,
obviously story man, oh Man,Does it sound like that's justified? Then
all of your CELEBSCU but West Michiganstart off time sometimes because I get a
(05:04):
good well, let's dive into somepositivity to start out this Wednesday morning,
get you through hump day together.It's Mack and Schmitty on starleto Fan point
seven with feeling good right now andpeople have been waiting a long time for
it. The smell of rotting fleshmaybe awaiting you this weekend because Frederick Meyer
Gardens has announced that their corpse floweris about to bloom, possibly over the
(05:29):
weekend, within a matter of daysnow. They just made the announcement yesterday
alongside Grand Valley State University because gvsused biology department had actually permanently lent the
corpse flower, which they nicknamed,by the way, the Beast to Frederick
Meyer Gardens. The flower, whichI think as the coolest scientific name.
Schmitty, A morphofallis titanium. Yeah, that's a cool strong name. I
(05:53):
should reach it's peak bloom sometime betweenJune fourteenth and sixteenth, so people want
to get over to the gardens andcheck this out. What's really cool about
it is it takes about a decadefor these things to actually flower. This
one has been growing for a longtime finally about to bloom for its very
first time. After that, it'llbloom roughly every two to three years.
(06:13):
But it can be really sporadic.But that's why this such as is such
a rare occasion as when you overBack Dunham, the head horticulture especialist over
at Frederick Meyer Gardens, explained toFox seventeen because it is a little bit
different than anything you're going to experienceanywhere else because it's for a very short
amount of time. So we haveit in a greenhouse area that has good
(06:35):
ventilations, so you're not going tobe stuck enough in a tiny room with
it or anything like that. You'llget to enjoy the smell but not necessarily
be overpowered by it. Yeah,the most beautiful way to present the smell
of rotting flesh over at Frederick MeyerGardens. Tickets are available or if you're
a member, you can go andcheck it out too. I've head friends
go, it's pretty rank. I'mgood. I'll go for all the other
(06:58):
gorgeous cards. Stop. Hey,this is incredible and honestly surprising. The
first ever all female honor flight tookoff yesterday, Michigan's first ever. It
is an amazing opportunity for our womenveterans. Yesterday's flight took off from Bishop
International Airport in Flint, honoring femaleveterans who have fought in World War Two,
(07:20):
the Korean War, and the VietnamWar. Honor Flight Treasurer Lorie Toombs
said, it is so important tomake sure they are recognized the same as
the men. That's why we wantedto do this All women's flight is to
let them know that they are justas much about trend as their male counterparts,
and they're just as important. Theirservice is important, and we want
(07:41):
to recognize them amen to that.According to the Mid Michigan Honor Flight,
more than forty six thousand women makeup Michigan's female veteran population. Their contributions
just as important to keeping our countrysafe. Yesterday's flight will come back from
See this morning to Flint at nineam, I've got some video for you
(08:03):
at West Michigan Star dot Com.I mean, that is awesome and I'm
surprised too that that's the first timeit's been done, but hopefully one of
them. We're all women, thefirst, all women slight, all right,
feeling good comes out you twice aday, always here to show you
something awesome happening out in our world. Just like Smitty Story. Right there,
we'll do it again for you comingup at nine's twenty Here on startinle
five point seven movies, music andall the gossip in one place. It's
(08:26):
the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh fivepoint seven. Well, Kevin Spacey is
clearly in a very tough place,breaking down into tears over revealing he is
completely broke, in fact, sodeep in debt on the heels of his
Me Too scandal. He admits toPierce Morgan yesterday that he's bankrupt. Well,
(08:56):
it's funny you asked that question,because this week where I have been
living in Baltimore is being foreclosed on. My house is being sold at auction,
so I have to go back toBaltimore and put all my things in
storage. Really, so the answerto that question is I'm not quite sure
where I'm going to live now.Why is it being full closed? Because
(09:18):
I can't pay the bills that Iowe. That's where he's lived since House
of Cards started filming in twenty twelve. He also admits to Pierce he owes
millions in just legal fees alone.He has not actually had to fully file
bankruptcy just yet. He's thought aboutit on multiple occasions, but has gotten
(09:41):
close to dodging it every time.He does say he's fairly destitute, but
when asked what's next, he saidhe's getting back on the horse and riding
forward. I mean, is itweird when you have an actor who everybody
knows is as good as Kevin Spaceyand he's got real problems going on in
life life obviously, But do youfeel like you're getting a little bit of
(10:03):
a show. Do you feel likeit's genuine coming across because, I mean,
the reason why he landed himself inthis hot water is his own actions,
his own decisions, his own youknow, things that have gone on
in his life right which worth pointingout, nothing has acted. He's a
quitted of everything, quit of everything. So weird setup. I think the
emotion also comes from part of thisinterview he talks about his kids. He's
(10:24):
like, these have been my thishas been my kids home for this entire
time as well. And now Iactually have no idea where I'm gonna go.
Leave it to your best friend toblurt out some of your tummy issues.
Lots of fans noticed Oprah was missingfrom CBS this morning this week,
despite being announced as a big guestto plug a new book. Well,
(10:46):
Oprah's bestie Gail King, sure,little TMI yesterday morning. I'm so sorry
that Oprah can't. Yesterday she saidI'm gonna rally. I'm going to rally.
She has some kind of stomach thing, stomach clue, stuff was coming
out of both ends. I won'tget too graphic, but needless to say,
she ended up in the hospital dehydrationamna ivy. So it was a
(11:07):
very serious thing. So it hadto I hope she's okay. Yeah,
she will be okay, we'll beokay. I hope she's not mad at
me for sharing that detail. Butyeah, glad that Oprah's doing well.
Obviously very scary to have to goto the hospital with this, but not
sure your BF up on National TVgoes, Yeah, she had some stomach
problems. It was coming out ofboth ends. Is what you want ahead
of a big interview, and thenyou say right afterwards, I don't want
(11:28):
to get too graphic. Yeah.Finally, golf pro Rory McElroy has called
off his divorce. His attorney fileda notice of voluntary dismissal on his behalf
yesterday. The case has been closed. This has been interesting to watch.
Not clear why the golf star hashad this apparent change of heart. His
(11:50):
lawyer has not commented, but rememberthe thirty five year old had only opened
the divorce case in Florida back inmid May, indicating he was ready to
split with his wife, Eric Astole. They've been married seven years, they
have a daughter. Apparently things areback on track and I'm assuming you will
see her at more of his championships. I didn't see that coming. I
mean, he hired Tiger Woods's lawyerfrom his big divorce on it, so
(12:13):
I thought he was pretty serious.All of your slip scoop at West Michigan
start up, come on and it'sback in smitty with you. And I
almost got anxiety just at the phraseand unscheduled summer. So are your kids
summer very Is it a rigid schedule? Well, it has to be smitty,
really, it has to be becauseotherwise, because I've done I think
that when your kids are young,having an unscheduled summer is okay, makes
(12:35):
sense and it goes with your flowbecause you never know how the day is
going to be. Now that mykids are a little bit older, they're
eleven and nine, we gotta havethem in stuff. We gotta add that
structure to her push him back sohard on this, they sit around that
like it just becomes too hard tokeep them active and busy all the time
without knowing that you got things coming. What happens, I don't know.
(12:56):
So friends and I were just talkingabout your scheduled summer because it feels like
you have to have your kids signedup for eight different sports, twelve different
camps. Forget family vacations because youactually can't find days to take vacations because
you can't miss practices. I don'twant to do that, And I was
(13:18):
putting myself through a lot of guiltthis summer because I'm like, oh,
I mean, Will's got a couplecamps, He's gonna do some lacrosse.
He's got swimming lessons. Did Inot do enough? And now I'm sitting
here going no, I am notgoing to have my kids doing something seven
days a week in the summertime.And I saw this post. A ton
(13:41):
of my friends have been talking aboutthis, and it's worth pointing out.
We've got kids anywhere from newborn tothirteen, and they're like, no,
I'm doing an unscheduled summer. Andthis scary mommy post I put up on
our Facebook said, I am gonnareally stuck up trying to create summer magic
for my kids. My childhood summerswere filled with climbing magnolia trees, playing
(14:07):
Capture the Flag, and making elaborateshoe box homes for roly polies. I
don't remember growing ups being there muchat all. I know that they were,
but as a stay at home mom, I feel guilt to fill their
summers with activities, schedules, allthis stuff, remembering that the summers I
loved as a kid was just sittingback, relaxing and joining a slower,
less structured cadence of summer. Imean I was in junior high. I
(14:35):
wasn't going to seventeen sports camps aweek. I was leaving the house on
my bike in the morning and cominghome when the street lights turned on,
and I want my kids to havethat. I don't know, And I
was looking through comments that people hadand it was very split on our Facebook
where some of them are like Lisa, the only time we saw our mom
in summer between sun up and sundownbreakfast, lunch, and dinner, and
(14:58):
occasional bathroom break. Otherwise we wereoutside all day or in the basement on
rainy days, wishing we were outside. And I guess I'm nervous, Like
if you start doing this massive scheduling, do your kids completely lose imagination and
suddenly can't entertain themselves. I havezero concerns that it's their schedule, and
one hundred percent of my concerns thatit's their digital lives. That because the
(15:24):
existence of tablets now that we didn'thave as a kid, when my kids
go out, like my kids aren'tallowed tablet time during the day ever,
like now that summer is hit,I don't think they have been on their
tablets more than an hour in thelast week and a half. Yeah,
So, like, I don't know, I'm not really sure how to fight
this battle. I just really don'twant my kids to have to almost grow
(15:45):
up faster than they already are.And it feels like, Okay, set
your alarm, because we've got tohit this at eight o'clock, and then
you've got this at noon, andthen you've got this at four forty five,
and I don't know. Granted,I've got a six year old and
a three year old, but ifthat's giving me anxiety, do you feel
like that's ruining your summer? Schmitty? My kids are at grandparents camp this
week. And if playing bingo andeating Butterscot's candy with your grandparents is overscheduling,
(16:07):
well I'm sorry, kids are infor that, all right. What
do you think about this? Sixone six, four five eight one five
seven What does your summer look like? Are you an unscheduled parent or are
you someone that feels like, ifthey don't have something to do every five
minutes, I'm going to be stuckwith bored, lazy kids. Good morning
to you. It's Mack and SchmittyWednesdays. Well, we're all screwing up
(16:30):
as parents. We just have themicrophones to talk about it. Let's jump
into this week's all Right, Smitty. This is where my love of my
children meets my inability just to rememberanyone's name. Apparently, I'm a cheerleader,
dad. I can't help it.I'm a loud guy. We all
(16:51):
are. I love cheering for mykids in their sports. I love cheering
for their teammates. I'm that dadthat you know, whether it's weird or
it's not. I remember everybody's youknow name. I'm cheering for him when
they make good plays. I'm sayinggreat game after the game. But do
you I thought I did. Ithought I did for everybody. I thought
I was a great cheerleader. Dad. I talked to you about how my
daughter Charlotte had her softball a seasonthis year. My wife was coaching for
(17:15):
the very first time ever, andthey proceeded to lose every single game,
most of them badly, right upuntil the last game. And I was
so amped up during that game.I am cheering for all these girls who
are finally getting hits, They're makinggreat plays in the field. It is
so much fun. And I'm outhere and I have got this girl Emma
and this girl Nora, and ifthem or their parents happen to be listening
(17:38):
right now. I am sorry,ladies, because all game long these girls
could be twins. I swear toGod they're the same person. And I
am calling Emma Nora and Nora Emma. But I'm not doing it quietly,
yeady, I am come on,Memel, Norra's in the dugout, going
whose insane father is that? It'sworse than that schmitty, It's worse than
(18:02):
that the assistant coach, this wonderfulwoman who has been there, Nora's daughter
or Nora's mom, is that assistantcoach. So I'm just getting these looks
from the dugout back and forth,going like yeah ms, and like I'm
getting strange faces and I can't figureit out. And then of course,
(18:22):
when it's Emma's turn to come upto bad I'm sitting there going let's go,
Nora. I have them completely confused, and I am yelling both of
them at the top of my lungs. These are ten year old girls who
are just too nervous to say somethingto the dude behind home plate, who
won't shut up and cheer for theright purple. My daughter eventually comes over
dead, shut up, dead,that's Emma and that's Nora, and I'm
(18:48):
like okay, and then tell meyou started cheering again and it was still
wrong Schmitty. The very last playof the game, it was a force
out at home to end the game, and Emma was playing catcher. It's
a tag Pitcher throws the ball toEmma and I am on my feet going
wait to go Noral whoo. Thereason they have numbers on the back of
(19:11):
the jerseys there, pal Yeah.I tried making up for it by calling
them both by their name about fifteentimes we were at Frosted, but yeah,
yeah, that didn't go Allymore Moodiesmusic and all the gossip in one
place. It's the celebritiescoop on Starone oh five point seven. Well,
(19:33):
one thing that Swifties have loved hearingabout with Travis Kelcey and Taylor's relationship is
what the pair loved to do whenthey're at home, not on the field,
not in an arena, and it'sa lot of cooking. And we've
gotten a few behind the scenes peaks, especially from Taylor's Instagram stories, of
the two of them doing that.Well, yesterday, during a press conference,
(19:53):
Travis was asked what his most favoritedish to cook with Taylor is That's
a good question. You know,I respect that question, but I'm going
to keep that one to myself becauseyou know, I thoroughly enjoyed cooking with
her, so it's something I wouldrather just keep personal. I love that.
(20:15):
However, as the press conference waswrapping up, he did thank the
reporters for being there, and thenleaned into the podium real quick. Taylor
makes a great pop tart and centerand row. I really really loved their
relationship. I was thinking it wasbecause she made something so fancy he didn't
know what it was called. No, all right, this was a bit
shocking. Billy Ray Cyrus has officiallyfiled for divorce just about seven months after
(20:44):
tying the nut with singer bier Rose, apparently less than a year after getting
hitched. They said that it couldnot work out. Not sure if this
is going to be any kind oflegal battle. It doesn't really look like
the two had any shared assets,obviously no kids together. Billy Ray lists
the date of separation as May twentysecond, and interesting. He cites irreconcilable
(21:07):
differences as well as inappropriate marital conduct. Billy is asking the court to grant
him an outright annulment, claiming themarriage was obtained by fraud. This is
very interesting. So we have notheard from fire Rose reps yet, but
it looks like it is done forthe two of them. You know what
(21:29):
he found out her real name wasnot fire Rose. That's what it was
documents and finally, man, Ihave been following her health battles so closely,
but Celine Dion for the first timeaddressing her stiff person syndrome in a
televised interview, telling Hoda Kapi ithas taken a serious toll on her,
both physically and mentally. She satdown for a full interview last night,
(21:52):
talking about the first time she realizedsomething was truly wrong. She was on
stage in Germany and could not sayingthe same way that she had been used
to talking about where she's at nowwhen you're not twell. I didn't want
to hear my name. I didnot know who I was anymore because I'm
not the person that I used tobe. I wanted to be my own
(22:15):
hero, to be the best ofme. I still still brave. Showmust
go on. Oh it's just heartbreakingto year. She gets very emotional in
this I do have the whole interviewup for you. And don't forget that
new documentary I Am Celine Dion willhit Prime video on June twenty five.
(22:36):
Isn't as strange when a celebrity asbig as Celene Dion is as iconic as
she is has a syndrome a disorderthat you had never heard of. Basically
before you didn't. I didn't evenknow that exist. I don't know.
Strange, No heartbreaking, Like,there's so much out there we don't know
that. To see it hit someoneand hit exactly what you have lived your
entire life to perfect is got tobe unbelievable. All of your celeb scoop

It's Mack and Schmidty. And youknow what we like, The trends,
the fashion, the music, everything, well, it all fades and sometimes
it does not age so well,Schmidty, what is it that we think
(26:38):
is really cool in twenty twenty fourthat we're going to be looking back on
in about ten years or so andgo what were we thinking? Okright,
so, first of all, thecollective we we're talking gen Z, right,
because you and I are not coolanymore. So whatever we wear,
we're doing is not happening. BecauseI was thinking about this and I actually
(26:59):
someone's going to call and be like, you're terrible. I love a lot
of what gen Z does. Ilove the comfy aspect of gen Z.
I kind of like the fact thatit seems as though there is no real
fashion thing to follow and everybody's justkind of doing their own thing. However,
I do gotta tell you, Idon't think you're gonna look back and
love the fact that you were wearingthis gorgeous formal gown with tennis shoes.
(27:23):
Yeah, and they all do it. And don't get me wrong, I
am a millennial girl that was walkingto bars in twenty ten in seventeen inch
heels in the dead of winter.It was not great. I love your
comfiness. I just think like occasionallyeven like a chunky heel with a dress
is okay dirty new balances. Idon't know if you're gonna love how that
(27:45):
age is for me. Schmidy.This immediately came out because my son wants
something that I think is so stupidbut is also so popular. Right now,
is it Erica's comment? Is Ericaon there? Did she say those
big wrap around so unglasses that everykid who's playing baseball in summer sports and
everything else and also major leaguers bythe way, like it's those giant mirrored
(28:07):
obnoxiousness. They're eighties biggest fashion cycles. It is terrible, and my son
is like, oh yeah, Dad, I need some of those rap rounds.
I'm like, why any photo youtake in them, you're gonna look
back and think it looks stupid inabout five seconds, because it does,
in fact look stupid for everyone wearingthem. I'm telling you, it doesn't
look good on anybody. This isthe one I hear Erica's boys perming the
(28:32):
top of their head and turning itinto a mullet. I fully support everyone
having whatever style you like, butyou look like El Pacas. You can't
unsee it. As soon as yousee the l pack of pitchers next to
any kid. Who's about the agesof like fourteen to twenty five. Oh,
every one of them's got the lpaka haircut. You are so and
(28:52):
it looks like she owns regal photography, so there is no doubt you saw
your fair share of senior pick.And you're going, I'm telling you,
man, that mullet parm ain't goingto age well all right, So tell
me this one, schmiddi, becauseyou brought up wearing the crazy heels and
all that stuff to the club andthis and or and girls wearing formal dresses
with like new balances on pennis shoes. Crocks with socks, Man, crocks
(29:15):
with socks have I'm sorry, I'vebeen anti crocs since like two thousand.
I agree, I've never been acrock person. They don't get it looks
horrible on everybody, and yet Ifeel like an entire generation you're like,
oh, yeah, I got myslides and my socks. You know what,
if you're out there in a comfysetting, just being comfy, I
will one hundred percent die on ahill for you to wear your crocks with
socks. Sometimes do get a goodfeeling. Man, he's not even two
(29:41):
years old yet, but little Romande Leo from Cedar Springs has seen more
in his almost two years of lifethan most people ever will. And the
reason that his name is Roman notbecause of WWE wrestler Roman Reigns, who
happens to be a fade in thefamily, but he is showing strength that
(30:03):
certainly gives you that impression. Here'sthe deal. Before he was even born,
Roman was already fighting for his lifeas cardiologist Synrene Rapids discovered a heart
defect. Roman's heart condition was discoveredat only twenty five weeks. Ashley and
her husband then went to ann Arborfor Roman to be born at c SMOT
Children's Hospital, and as soon ashe was born whisked away by specialists,
(30:26):
they realized eventually Roman was going toneed a new heart, So then the
family lived at the Ronald McDonald Housein ann Arbor waiting for the day he
would get one. It came whenRoman wasn't quite six months old, so
the new tiny heart transplanted into Roman'stiny body, a happy ending right not
quite about ten percent of transplant patientsspace. The next hurdle, Roman was
(30:52):
diagnosed with post transplant lymphoma. Hewas a fighter once again, but his
parents sitting down with wood TV.He said, even from the first chemo
appointment, you could tell he wasreally channeling that Roman Rainsfield the first round
of chemo and went from like physicallybeing sick to he got done with the
chemo. We put him in thecar and he was yelling and happy and
(31:14):
playing with his toys. Hat Ohgosh, the world is his oyster.
The world is his oyster with anew heart and now cancer survivor under Roman's
belt. He is always energetic.His parents say, he's definitely going to
need it to keep up with hisnew baby sister who will be coming this
fall. That's what a little warrior, all right, Spinty. Of course,
(31:37):
our Michigan State parks known for theirbeauty around the world. I mean
in the fall you get those incrediblereds, oranges and yellows. In this
summertime, looking at gorgeous green grasses, the sand, and of course all
the beautiful blue waters across our greatstate. Well if you're color blinds,
you don't get to quite see thatthe same way as everybody else. So
(31:59):
this is real cool. The LuddingtonState Parks Mini has just installed an in
chroma viewer. You know those thingsthat look like the big binocular viewers.
Yes, they've got one from Enchroma. This is which more than colorblind glasses
if people aren't aware, that's right. Color blindness effects about eight percent of
men. I was thinking of yourbrother when I was looking at this.
(32:20):
All of my brothers are all threeof my blood brothers. That's wild and
about half a percent of women accordingto the National Institute of Health. So
this is an opportunity for inclusion andaccessibility. When talking about this, you
think of accessibility at state parks,you think of you know, ramps and
wheelchairs and kayak launchers. Maybe notso much a you know, an in
chroma color blind viewer at this,but that was another thing that they wanted
(32:45):
to add in, according to Friendsof Luddington State Park president Patrick O'Hare.
He told Fox seventeen it just wouldn'tbe fair if people couldn't see these,
the beautiful colors that we've got atour state parks. How much of a
disability is it? How much doesthe impact? But when you I think
in terms of the beauty of theLennington State Park, to not be able
to see the color as part ofthat beauty, it seemed a shame.
(33:07):
It seemed a shame, and that'swhat made Friends of Lunnington State Park act
and make this wonderful donation. Nowone of five locations at state parks across
the state of Michigan where they havethese nchrome of viewrs for people who suffer
from color blindness. So Lunnington StatePark, William G. Milligan State Park
over in Detroit, and then threelocations up in the up at the Porcupine
(33:28):
Mountain, Schmidti, the Lake ofthe Clouds Scenic Overlook, the Summit Peak
Observatory Tower, and then the NoadaFalls as well. So if there is
I was gonna say, a tripyou want to make, everybody gets to
enjoy those beautiful Michigan colors. Feelinggood comes at you twice today. I
always here to pick you up,tell you about something great going on out
there. I'll do it again tomorrowsix forty five and nine to twenty here
(33:49):
on Star win O five point sevenMack and Schmidty in the morning weekdays starting
at six am on Star one ohfive point seven
Waita wake up. It gets myday going. It makes me lab of
it. Mac and Schmitty in theMorning on Star one oh five point seven.
Good lord in Schmitty, Hey,welcome into your Wednesday. Yes,
Ray, welcome into hump Day.It's a mile starts to day. Mind
fifties out there, cooler at theLake Shore, mid forties. But here's
(00:23):
the thing, Smitty, So we'regonna see some rain showers pop up,
especially over the next hour or tworound West Michigan north of Grand Rapids.
I'm you know what, I won'tplay that game. Okay, that'd being
said. After that, we're gonnaget way warm. We got days in
the the coming forecast where we're gonnastart hearing the people go, Oh my
gosh, so movies, music,and all the gossip in one place.
(00:47):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one ohfive point seven. Ooh, it was
a big night. Bye none otherthan rapper fifty Cents, who minute a
top priority to be present at aMiami post roasting none other than Ditty.
Of course, if you're not aware, the two have been rivals and enemies
(01:07):
for years. Fifty was the ipat a brand new venue called the Dead
Flamingo pop up with a brutal roastof Ditty, which was hosted by comedians
Britney Brave and Danny cream City sparedthe music mogul no mercy. These jokes
were pretty wild. There were evendomestic violence jokes, which some fans had
(01:30):
an issue with, but Fifty addressingthings on his Instagram saying, listen,
this is what comedy is. It'sunfiltered. Oh and by the way,
all of the proceeds went to theNational Domestic Violence Hotline. So all of
these really intense jokes were going towardsa good cause. It doesn't seem like
Diddy's got any friends left in Hollywood. I'll be like, I find this
(01:52):
to be a fascinating thing to havedone. You know what I mean.
You don't hear about roast when somebody'sin the middle of you know, corporate
Yeah, stuff that's going on withthem? What a move. Well,
Brittany Brave, the comedian that hostedthat, actually spoke about that exact thing,
which is up at West Michigan Stardot com. Rihanna said yes,
yes, yes, she is readyto start working on music again after teasing
(02:15):
her retirement last week. Remember Ihad that story about the I'm retired t
shirt that really triggered fans. Whileat the launch for her newest business venture,
Fentie Hair, she talked with EntertainmentTonight about some of the music for
a new album already being done.She's got fresh perspective now and she's ready.
Music for me is a new isa new discovery. I'm rediscovering things.
(02:40):
I have been working on the albumfor so long that I kind of
just like put all that stuff aside, and now I'm prepared to go back
in new studio. So I'm nowI'm prepared, so I'm going to start
starting over. But I don't wantto neglect the songs that I have,
So I'm I want to go backand night listen to stuff with new airs,
(03:04):
with my new perspective, and thensee what foot applies and what I
still I'm in love with. Shealso talked about family, saying she is
definitely ready to have more kids,but denied any pregnancy rumors that fans had
been floating around. Whatever oday,We're going to get our nine. I
expect more children before a new album. All right, Now to the crazy
lawsuit that has been launched by oneof the Four Tops singers suing a Michigan
(03:31):
hospital for racial discrimination. Alexander Morrisjoined the band back in twenty nineteen and
has filed a lawsuit against Ascension MacombeOakland Hospital. He says last April,
he was rushed by ambulance suffering chestpain and difficulty breathing to the hospital,
and when he got there, hetold a nurse in security that he was
(03:53):
member of the famous Motown band becausehe just tends to be careful given fans
and people trying to follow him.He claims a white security guard and a
white er doctor did not believe hewas famous, worst they thought he was
mentally ill. They ordered a psychexam. In the suit, Alexander claims
he was taken off oxygen, strappedinto a restraining jacket, and only taken
(04:17):
out of the straight jacket after ninetyminutes when he was finally able to show
another nurse a video of him performingat the Grammys. He says he received
a lower standard of care based onhis race. He was ultimately diagnosed with
a heart problem that might need aheart transplant and pneumonia. He says he
suffered three seizures during his hospitalization andclaims after all was said and done,
(04:43):
the hospital offered him a twenty fivedollars grocery store gift card. He is
going after the hospital for serious damages. And it sounds like I mean,
obviously story man, oh Man,Does it sound like that's justified? Then
all of your CELEBSCU but West Michiganstart off time sometimes because I get a
(05:04):
good well, let's dive into somepositivity to start out this Wednesday morning,
get you through hump day together.It's Mack and Schmitty on starleto Fan point
seven with feeling good right now andpeople have been waiting a long time for
it. The smell of rotting fleshmaybe awaiting you this weekend because Frederick Meyer
Gardens has announced that their corpse floweris about to bloom, possibly over the
(05:29):
weekend, within a matter of daysnow. They just made the announcement yesterday
alongside Grand Valley State University because gvsused biology department had actually permanently lent the
corpse flower, which they nicknamed,by the way, the Beast to Frederick
Meyer Gardens. The flower, whichI think as the coolest scientific name.
Schmitty, A morphofallis titanium. Yeah, that's a cool strong name. I
(05:53):
should reach it's peak bloom sometime betweenJune fourteenth and sixteenth, so people want
to get over to the gardens andcheck this out. What's really cool about
it is it takes about a decadefor these things to actually flower. This
one has been growing for a longtime finally about to bloom for its very
first time. After that, it'llbloom roughly every two to three years.
(06:13):
But it can be really sporadic.But that's why this such as is such
a rare occasion as when you overBack Dunham, the head horticulture especialist over
at Frederick Meyer Gardens, explained toFox seventeen because it is a little bit
different than anything you're going to experienceanywhere else because it's for a very short
amount of time. So we haveit in a greenhouse area that has good
(06:35):
ventilations, so you're not going tobe stuck enough in a tiny room with
it or anything like that. You'llget to enjoy the smell but not necessarily
be overpowered by it. Yeah,the most beautiful way to present the smell
of rotting flesh over at Frederick MeyerGardens. Tickets are available or if you're
a member, you can go andcheck it out too. I've head friends
go, it's pretty rank. I'mgood. I'll go for all the other
(06:58):
gorgeous cards. Stop. Hey,this is incredible and honestly surprising. The
first ever all female honor flight tookoff yesterday, Michigan's first ever. It
is an amazing opportunity for our womenveterans. Yesterday's flight took off from Bishop
International Airport in Flint, honoring femaleveterans who have fought in World War Two,
(07:20):
the Korean War, and the VietnamWar. Honor Flight Treasurer Lorie Toombs
said, it is so important tomake sure they are recognized the same as
the men. That's why we wantedto do this All women's flight is to
let them know that they are justas much about trend as their male counterparts,
and they're just as important. Theirservice is important, and we want
(07:41):
to recognize them amen to that.According to the Mid Michigan Honor Flight,
more than forty six thousand women makeup Michigan's female veteran population. Their contributions
just as important to keeping our countrysafe. Yesterday's flight will come back from
See this morning to Flint at nineam, I've got some video for you
(08:03):
at West Michigan Star dot Com.I mean, that is awesome and I'm
surprised too that that's the first timeit's been done, but hopefully one of
them. We're all women, thefirst, all women slight, all right,
feeling good comes out you twice aday, always here to show you
something awesome happening out in our world. Just like Smitty Story. Right there,
we'll do it again for you comingup at nine's twenty Here on startinle
five point seven movies, music andall the gossip in one place. It's
(08:26):
the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh fivepoint seven. Well, Kevin Spacey is
clearly in a very tough place,breaking down into tears over revealing he is
completely broke, in fact, sodeep in debt on the heels of his
Me Too scandal. He admits toPierce Morgan yesterday that he's bankrupt. Well,
(08:56):
it's funny you asked that question,because this week where I have been
living in Baltimore is being foreclosed on. My house is being sold at auction,
so I have to go back toBaltimore and put all my things in
storage. Really, so the answerto that question is I'm not quite sure
where I'm going to live now.Why is it being full closed? Because
(09:18):
I can't pay the bills that Iowe. That's where he's lived since House
of Cards started filming in twenty twelve. He also admits to Pierce he owes
millions in just legal fees alone.He has not actually had to fully file
bankruptcy just yet. He's thought aboutit on multiple occasions, but has gotten
(09:41):
close to dodging it every time.He does say he's fairly destitute, but
when asked what's next, he saidhe's getting back on the horse and riding
forward. I mean, is itweird when you have an actor who everybody
knows is as good as Kevin Spaceyand he's got real problems going on in
life life obviously, But do youfeel like you're getting a little bit of
(10:03):
a show. Do you feel likeit's genuine coming across because, I mean,
the reason why he landed himself inthis hot water is his own actions,
his own decisions, his own youknow, things that have gone on
in his life right which worth pointingout, nothing has acted. He's a
quitted of everything, quit of everything. So weird setup. I think the
emotion also comes from part of thisinterview he talks about his kids. He's
(10:24):
like, these have been my thishas been my kids home for this entire
time as well. And now Iactually have no idea where I'm gonna go.
Leave it to your best friend toblurt out some of your tummy issues.
Lots of fans noticed Oprah was missingfrom CBS this morning this week,
despite being announced as a big guestto plug a new book. Well,
(10:46):
Oprah's bestie Gail King, sure,little TMI yesterday morning. I'm so sorry
that Oprah can't. Yesterday she saidI'm gonna rally. I'm going to rally.
She has some kind of stomach thing, stomach clue, stuff was coming
out of both ends. I won'tget too graphic, but needless to say,
she ended up in the hospital dehydrationamna ivy. So it was a
(11:07):
very serious thing. So it hadto I hope she's okay. Yeah,
she will be okay, we'll beokay. I hope she's not mad at
me for sharing that detail. Butyeah, glad that Oprah's doing well.
Obviously very scary to have to goto the hospital with this, but not
sure your BF up on National TVgoes, Yeah, she had some stomach
problems. It was coming out ofboth ends. Is what you want ahead
of a big interview, and thenyou say right afterwards, I don't want
(11:28):
to get too graphic. Yeah.Finally, golf pro Rory McElroy has called
off his divorce. His attorney fileda notice of voluntary dismissal on his behalf
yesterday. The case has been closed. This has been interesting to watch.
Not clear why the golf star hashad this apparent change of heart. His
(11:50):
lawyer has not commented, but rememberthe thirty five year old had only opened
the divorce case in Florida back inmid May, indicating he was ready to
split with his wife, Eric Astole. They've been married seven years, they
have a daughter. Apparently things areback on track and I'm assuming you will
see her at more of his championships. I didn't see that coming. I
mean, he hired Tiger Woods's lawyerfrom his big divorce on it, so
(12:13):
I thought he was pretty serious.All of your slip scoop at West Michigan
start up, come on and it'sback in smitty with you. And I
almost got anxiety just at the phraseand unscheduled summer. So are your kids
summer very Is it a rigid schedule? Well, it has to be smitty,
really, it has to be becauseotherwise, because I've done I think
that when your kids are young,having an unscheduled summer is okay, makes
(12:35):
sense and it goes with your flowbecause you never know how the day is
going to be. Now that mykids are a little bit older, they're
eleven and nine, we gotta havethem in stuff. We gotta add that
structure to her push him back sohard on this, they sit around that
like it just becomes too hard tokeep them active and busy all the time
without knowing that you got things coming. What happens, I don't know.
(12:56):
So friends and I were just talkingabout your scheduled summer because it feels like
you have to have your kids signedup for eight different sports, twelve different
camps. Forget family vacations because youactually can't find days to take vacations because
you can't miss practices. I don'twant to do that, And I was
(13:18):
putting myself through a lot of guiltthis summer because I'm like, oh,
I mean, Will's got a couplecamps, He's gonna do some lacrosse.
He's got swimming lessons. Did Inot do enough? And now I'm sitting
here going no, I am notgoing to have my kids doing something seven
days a week in the summertime.And I saw this post. A ton
(13:41):
of my friends have been talking aboutthis, and it's worth pointing out.
We've got kids anywhere from newborn tothirteen, and they're like, no,
I'm doing an unscheduled summer. Andthis scary mommy post I put up on
our Facebook said, I am gonnareally stuck up trying to create summer magic
for my kids. My childhood summerswere filled with climbing magnolia trees, playing
(14:07):
Capture the Flag, and making elaborateshoe box homes for roly polies. I
don't remember growing ups being there muchat all. I know that they were,
but as a stay at home mom, I feel guilt to fill their
summers with activities, schedules, allthis stuff, remembering that the summers I
loved as a kid was just sittingback, relaxing and joining a slower,
less structured cadence of summer. Imean I was in junior high. I
(14:35):
wasn't going to seventeen sports camps aweek. I was leaving the house on
my bike in the morning and cominghome when the street lights turned on,
and I want my kids to havethat. I don't know, And I
was looking through comments that people hadand it was very split on our Facebook
where some of them are like Lisa, the only time we saw our mom
in summer between sun up and sundownbreakfast, lunch, and dinner, and
(14:58):
occasional bathroom break. Otherwise we wereoutside all day or in the basement on
rainy days, wishing we were outside. And I guess I'm nervous, Like
if you start doing this massive scheduling, do your kids completely lose imagination and
suddenly can't entertain themselves. I havezero concerns that it's their schedule, and
one hundred percent of my concerns thatit's their digital lives. That because the
(15:24):
existence of tablets now that we didn'thave as a kid, when my kids
go out, like my kids aren'tallowed tablet time during the day ever,
like now that summer is hit,I don't think they have been on their
tablets more than an hour in thelast week and a half. Yeah,
So, like, I don't know, I'm not really sure how to fight
this battle. I just really don'twant my kids to have to almost grow
(15:45):
up faster than they already are.And it feels like, Okay, set
your alarm, because we've got tohit this at eight o'clock, and then
you've got this at noon, andthen you've got this at four forty five,
and I don't know. Granted,I've got a six year old and
a three year old, but ifthat's giving me anxiety, do you feel
like that's ruining your summer? Schmitty? My kids are at grandparents camp this
week. And if playing bingo andeating Butterscot's candy with your grandparents is overscheduling,
(16:07):
well I'm sorry, kids are infor that, all right. What
do you think about this? Sixone six, four five eight one five
seven What does your summer look like? Are you an unscheduled parent or are
you someone that feels like, ifthey don't have something to do every five
minutes, I'm going to be stuckwith bored, lazy kids. Good morning
to you. It's Mack and SchmittyWednesdays. Well, we're all screwing up
(16:30):
as parents. We just have themicrophones to talk about it. Let's jump
into this week's all Right, Smitty. This is where my love of my
children meets my inability just to rememberanyone's name. Apparently, I'm a cheerleader,
dad. I can't help it.I'm a loud guy. We all
(16:51):
are. I love cheering for mykids in their sports. I love cheering
for their teammates. I'm that dadthat you know, whether it's weird or
it's not. I remember everybody's youknow name. I'm cheering for him when
they make good plays. I'm sayinggreat game after the game. But do
you I thought I did. Ithought I did for everybody. I thought
I was a great cheerleader. Dad. I talked to you about how my
daughter Charlotte had her softball a seasonthis year. My wife was coaching for
(17:15):
the very first time ever, andthey proceeded to lose every single game,
most of them badly, right upuntil the last game. And I was
so amped up during that game.I am cheering for all these girls who
are finally getting hits, They're makinggreat plays in the field. It is
so much fun. And I'm outhere and I have got this girl Emma
and this girl Nora, and ifthem or their parents happen to be listening
(17:38):
right now. I am sorry,ladies, because all game long these girls
could be twins. I swear toGod they're the same person. And I
am calling Emma Nora and Nora Emma. But I'm not doing it quietly,
yeady, I am come on,Memel, Norra's in the dugout, going
whose insane father is that? It'sworse than that schmitty, It's worse than
(18:02):
that the assistant coach, this wonderfulwoman who has been there, Nora's daughter
or Nora's mom, is that assistantcoach. So I'm just getting these looks
from the dugout back and forth,going like yeah ms, and like I'm
getting strange faces and I can't figureit out. And then of course,
(18:22):
when it's Emma's turn to come upto bad I'm sitting there going let's go,
Nora. I have them completely confused, and I am yelling both of
them at the top of my lungs. These are ten year old girls who
are just too nervous to say somethingto the dude behind home plate, who
won't shut up and cheer for theright purple. My daughter eventually comes over
dead, shut up, dead,that's Emma and that's Nora, and I'm
(18:48):
like okay, and then tell meyou started cheering again and it was still
wrong Schmitty. The very last playof the game, it was a force
out at home to end the game, and Emma was playing catcher. It's
a tag Pitcher throws the ball toEmma and I am on my feet going
wait to go Noral whoo. Thereason they have numbers on the back of
(19:11):
the jerseys there, pal Yeah.I tried making up for it by calling
them both by their name about fifteentimes we were at Frosted, but yeah,
yeah, that didn't go Allymore Moodiesmusic and all the gossip in one
place. It's the celebritiescoop on Starone oh five point seven. Well,
(19:33):
one thing that Swifties have loved hearingabout with Travis Kelcey and Taylor's relationship is
what the pair loved to do whenthey're at home, not on the field,
not in an arena, and it'sa lot of cooking. And we've
gotten a few behind the scenes peaks, especially from Taylor's Instagram stories, of
the two of them doing that.Well, yesterday, during a press conference,
(19:53):
Travis was asked what his most favoritedish to cook with Taylor is That's
a good question. You know,I respect that question, but I'm going
to keep that one to myself becauseyou know, I thoroughly enjoyed cooking with
her, so it's something I wouldrather just keep personal. I love that.
(20:15):
However, as the press conference waswrapping up, he did thank the
reporters for being there, and thenleaned into the podium real quick. Taylor
makes a great pop tart and centerand row. I really really loved their
relationship. I was thinking it wasbecause she made something so fancy he didn't
know what it was called. No, all right, this was a bit
shocking. Billy Ray Cyrus has officiallyfiled for divorce just about seven months after
(20:44):
tying the nut with singer bier Rose, apparently less than a year after getting
hitched. They said that it couldnot work out. Not sure if this
is going to be any kind oflegal battle. It doesn't really look like
the two had any shared assets,obviously no kids together. Billy Ray lists
the date of separation as May twentysecond, and interesting. He cites irreconcilable
(21:07):
differences as well as inappropriate marital conduct. Billy is asking the court to grant
him an outright annulment, claiming themarriage was obtained by fraud. This is
very interesting. So we have notheard from fire Rose reps yet, but
it looks like it is done forthe two of them. You know what
(21:29):
he found out her real name wasnot fire Rose. That's what it was
documents and finally, man, Ihave been following her health battles so closely,
but Celine Dion for the first timeaddressing her stiff person syndrome in a
televised interview, telling Hoda Kapi ithas taken a serious toll on her,
both physically and mentally. She satdown for a full interview last night,
(21:52):
talking about the first time she realizedsomething was truly wrong. She was on
stage in Germany and could not sayingthe same way that she had been used
to talking about where she's at nowwhen you're not twell. I didn't want
to hear my name. I didnot know who I was anymore because I'm
not the person that I used tobe. I wanted to be my own
(22:15):
hero, to be the best ofme. I still still brave. Showmust
go on. Oh it's just heartbreakingto year. She gets very emotional in
this I do have the whole interviewup for you. And don't forget that
new documentary I Am Celine Dion willhit Prime video on June twenty five.
(22:36):
Isn't as strange when a celebrity asbig as Celene Dion is as iconic as
she is has a syndrome a disorderthat you had never heard of. Basically
before you didn't. I didn't evenknow that exist. I don't know.
Strange, No heartbreaking, Like,there's so much out there we don't know
that. To see it hit someoneand hit exactly what you have lived your
entire life to perfect is got tobe unbelievable. All of your celeb scoop

the time. However, that wasnot on our list of top answers.
Donna, So you got a chanceat these LPGA tickets. What do you
think it is? I'm gonna say, are going to say hair, Yes,
hair removals a big one, butthat is actually the number five most
common answer. I'm sorry, Donna, that's all right. I have a
(25:08):
great TAYO. Hi Star. Who'sthis? Hey? This is Thomas from
Grand Rapperds. Hey, Thomas,I've gotten a couple of good guesses,
but not the top answer. Butyou're my first dude who's at a crack
at this question and it was askedof one hundred guys, So maybe that'll
help you out here. Gotta tellme, Thomas, one hundred guys rest
to name is something that people getremoved from their body. So far,
I've hurt appendix and hair, bothgood guesses. Not the top answer.
(25:32):
What do you think it is?Tattoo? Tattoos? You know what,
I can watch those removal videos onFacebook all day long. It's like watching
power washing or somebody doing some edgework. As they just use those lasers to
remove it. It looks, Imean, hypnotic and painful all at the
same time. Tattoos is the topanswer. Thomas, congratulations. Yeah,
(25:55):
are you a Are you a dad? By chance? Thomas, I am
proud father. Well there you go. You get four passes, then Dad

(26:17):
Thomas, Congratulations, and we'll doit again tomorrow. Another chance to
win eight fifteen with Battle of theSexes. Here on Star some Morning to
It's Mack and Schmidty. And youknow what we like, The trends,
the fashion, the music, everything, well, it all fades and sometimes
it does not age so well,Schmidty, what is it that we think
(26:38):
is really cool in twenty twenty fourthat we're going to be looking back on
in about ten years or so andgo what were we thinking? Okright,
so, first of all, thecollective we we're talking gen Z, right,
because you and I are not coolanymore. So whatever we wear,
we're doing is not happening. BecauseI was thinking about this and I actually
(26:59):
someone's going to call and be like, you're terrible. I love a lot
of what gen Z does. Ilove the comfy aspect of gen Z.
I kind of like the fact thatit seems as though there is no real
fashion thing to follow and everybody's justkind of doing their own thing. However,
I do gotta tell you, Idon't think you're gonna look back and
love the fact that you were wearingthis gorgeous formal gown with tennis shoes.
(27:23):
Yeah, and they all do it. And don't get me wrong, I
am a millennial girl that was walkingto bars in twenty ten in seventeen inch
heels in the dead of winter.It was not great. I love your
comfiness. I just think like occasionallyeven like a chunky heel with a dress
is okay dirty new balances. Idon't know if you're gonna love how that
(27:45):
age is for me. Schmidy.This immediately came out because my son wants
something that I think is so stupidbut is also so popular. Right now,
is it Erica's comment? Is Ericaon there? Did she say those
big wrap around so unglasses that everykid who's playing baseball in summer sports and
everything else and also major leaguers bythe way, like it's those giant mirrored
(28:07):
obnoxiousness. They're eighties biggest fashion cycles. It is terrible, and my son
is like, oh yeah, Dad, I need some of those rap rounds.
I'm like, why any photo youtake in them, you're gonna look
back and think it looks stupid inabout five seconds, because it does,
in fact look stupid for everyone wearingthem. I'm telling you, it doesn't
look good on anybody. This isthe one I hear Erica's boys perming the
(28:32):
top of their head and turning itinto a mullet. I fully support everyone
having whatever style you like, butyou look like El Pacas. You can't
unsee it. As soon as yousee the l pack of pitchers next to
any kid. Who's about the agesof like fourteen to twenty five. Oh,
every one of them's got the lpaka haircut. You are so and
(28:52):
it looks like she owns regal photography, so there is no doubt you saw
your fair share of senior pick.And you're going, I'm telling you,
man, that mullet parm ain't goingto age well all right, So tell
me this one, schmiddi, becauseyou brought up wearing the crazy heels and
all that stuff to the club andthis and or and girls wearing formal dresses
with like new balances on pennis shoes. Crocks with socks, Man, crocks
(29:15):
with socks have I'm sorry, I'vebeen anti crocs since like two thousand.
I agree, I've never been acrock person. They don't get it looks
horrible on everybody, and yet Ifeel like an entire generation you're like,
oh, yeah, I got myslides and my socks. You know what,
if you're out there in a comfysetting, just being comfy, I
will one hundred percent die on ahill for you to wear your crocks with
socks. Sometimes do get a goodfeeling. Man, he's not even two
(29:41):
years old yet, but little Romande Leo from Cedar Springs has seen more
in his almost two years of lifethan most people ever will. And the
reason that his name is Roman notbecause of WWE wrestler Roman Reigns, who
happens to be a fade in thefamily, but he is showing strength that
(30:03):
certainly gives you that impression. Here'sthe deal. Before he was even born,
Roman was already fighting for his lifeas cardiologist Synrene Rapids discovered a heart
defect. Roman's heart condition was discoveredat only twenty five weeks. Ashley and
her husband then went to ann Arborfor Roman to be born at c SMOT
Children's Hospital, and as soon ashe was born whisked away by specialists,
(30:26):
they realized eventually Roman was going toneed a new heart, So then the
family lived at the Ronald McDonald Housein ann Arbor waiting for the day he
would get one. It came whenRoman wasn't quite six months old, so
the new tiny heart transplanted into Roman'stiny body, a happy ending right not
quite about ten percent of transplant patientsspace. The next hurdle, Roman was
(30:52):
diagnosed with post transplant lymphoma. Hewas a fighter once again, but his
parents sitting down with wood TV.He said, even from the first chemo
appointment, you could tell he wasreally channeling that Roman Rainsfield the first round
of chemo and went from like physicallybeing sick to he got done with the
chemo. We put him in thecar and he was yelling and happy and
(31:14):
playing with his toys. Hat Ohgosh, the world is his oyster.
The world is his oyster with anew heart and now cancer survivor under Roman's
belt. He is always energetic.His parents say, he's definitely going to
need it to keep up with hisnew baby sister who will be coming this
fall. That's what a little warrior, all right, Spinty. Of course,
(31:37):
our Michigan State parks known for theirbeauty around the world. I mean
in the fall you get those incrediblereds, oranges and yellows. In this
summertime, looking at gorgeous green grasses, the sand, and of course all
the beautiful blue waters across our greatstate. Well if you're color blinds,
you don't get to quite see thatthe same way as everybody else. So
(31:59):
this is real cool. The LuddingtonState Parks Mini has just installed an in
chroma viewer. You know those thingsthat look like the big binocular viewers.
Yes, they've got one from Enchroma. This is which more than colorblind glasses
if people aren't aware, that's right. Color blindness effects about eight percent of
men. I was thinking of yourbrother when I was looking at this.
(32:20):
All of my brothers are all threeof my blood brothers. That's wild and
about half a percent of women accordingto the National Institute of Health. So
this is an opportunity for inclusion andaccessibility. When talking about this, you
think of accessibility at state parks,you think of you know, ramps and
wheelchairs and kayak launchers. Maybe notso much a you know, an in
chroma color blind viewer at this,but that was another thing that they wanted
(32:45):
to add in, according to Friendsof Luddington State Park president Patrick O'Hare.
He told Fox seventeen it just wouldn'tbe fair if people couldn't see these,
the beautiful colors that we've got atour state parks. How much of a
disability is it? How much doesthe impact? But when you I think
in terms of the beauty of theLennington State Park, to not be able
to see the color as part ofthat beauty, it seemed a shame.
(33:07):
It seemed a shame, and that'swhat made Friends of Lunnington State Park act
and make this wonderful donation. Nowone of five locations at state parks across
the state of Michigan where they havethese nchrome of viewrs for people who suffer
from color blindness. So Lunnington StatePark, William G. Milligan State Park
over in Detroit, and then threelocations up in the up at the Porcupine
(33:28):
Mountain, Schmidti, the Lake ofthe Clouds Scenic Overlook, the Summit Peak
Observatory Tower, and then the NoadaFalls as well. So if there is
I was gonna say, a tripyou want to make, everybody gets to
enjoy those beautiful Michigan colors. Feelinggood comes at you twice today. I
always here to pick you up,tell you about something great going on out
there. I'll do it again tomorrowsix forty five and nine to twenty here
