Speaker 1 (00:07):
It gets my day going and makes me lab it
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one O five.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Point seven, Good morning, Welcome into your Wednesday. And I
know everybody's schedule around West Michigan for when kids go
back is all over the place.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
This is weird to me.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
It is I had I had. I had friends in
Vegas and in Chicago go back to school on Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I had Florida that we're back last week.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's all over the place. But
I know for my kids and a lot of kids
here in West Michigan, today marks the one week countdown
until they go back to school.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Okay, yeah, so that's right at East and Grandville there
past that they go back Monday.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
They go back Monday Monday. Yep, I think that makes sense.
I don't ever understand the school scheduling stuff around here.
But it's not just here, it's everywhere. Like we go
back to school in the middle of a week. Yeah,
and we end our school year in the middle of
a week. Like I just never understand what is so
wrong about Mondays and Fridays that you guys can't keep
(01:04):
in an orderly fashion. I mean, if they can do
it in the lunch line as like nine year olds.
When I think of my own kids, I think people
could make a schedule as it felt.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I think we're less than a week from Sofia going
to preschool. She's back Tuesday, and then my son's got
an entire another week. So like we're sitting around last
night and I'm thinking we haven't done any school shopping
yet because I still feel like it's only August fourteenth,
And then teachers everywhere are like, yeah, I've been in
my classroom for almost two weeks now, So best of luck,
we're getting through at that crazy schedule. We appreciate you
(01:34):
waking up with us. We know probably even more of
you will be joining once that pickup line and bust
stop picks.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Back up, movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
It's the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Well, Rachel Lindsay, former Bachelorent, has some very sage advice
for our brand new bachelor, Grant Ellis. Well, you may
be on the show looking for love, make sure you've
lawyered up. Former bachelor read telling TMZ the most important
thing Grant can do to protect himself if he decides
to propose on the hit ABC show, is get some
(02:09):
legal backing. Of course, Rachel's experience post show didn't go
so great. She has been me deep be a super
bitter divorce with her bachelor Brian she met back on
the show back twenty seventeen, who is currently getting thirteen
thousand dollars a month in spousal support from her following
their twenty nineteen wedding and now is pushing for even
(02:32):
more cash in legal fees. Is a very bitter fallout. However,
Rachel did make sure to say she enjoys the fact
that they continue to be inclusive and diverse on the show.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, ab Seal pay for that massive rock for you
to get engaged with, but they're not going to touch
your alimony payments after that.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, Katy Perry and the crosshairs of the Spanish legal system.
Spain is taking serious issue with Katie's new meal music
video for this single Lifetimes, which she filmed on the
bally Eric Islands, happens to be a protected area. The
regional government's Department of Environment is now investigating after seeing
(03:14):
the video, which they're saying does show a roped off
area of the dunes where she They can only assume
camera crew, production team, and a bunch of equipment is
in tow. Katie filmed in the middle of those protected
dunes on a very important Spanish inlet. They're saying she
(03:34):
was not authorized to film there. No one from her
team even reached out to the Spanish government to see
if this was something that they could do, and the
department has that a preliminary investigation is underway to determine
if there's a serious violation here.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
What a way to get caught right, Like I mean, like,
what do you mean? We did go at Eddie restricted areas?
Excuse me. It's featured in the music video. I just
watched it on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Great news for Katie. Finally, Kylie Jenner maybe the newest
hit sensation in the recording studio, teasing she might want
to become a pop singer. So you'll remember it was
four years ago since this iconic moment where she did
a tour of her house and brought us into Stormy's room.
Crass and shine, that's how she wakes her up every day.
(04:21):
It's so good, right she crass and shine? Well, she
is in a new interview year stuff lately British Vogue
discussing finally finding her feet in the fashion industry after
devoting her twenties to motherhood, but months after bringing her
high end clothing line Kai to life, she wants to
go step further. When asked by Vogue if she ever
(04:42):
hoped to be a pop star as a kid, she replied,
I think so. Yeah. I always knew I never had
a fantastic voice to run anything, but I should be
a singer. No, seriously, maybe when I'm done making clothes,
I'll get into the recording studio.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I think she's a little tongue in cheek right there.
Because play it one more time? Do you have it?
Ruddy Schmitty? Can I hear it?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Pros and shine? Maybe I'm wrong, that's just pure talent.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
You got Chris Jenner. So there's no way she's not
going to find a way and another avenue of money.
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Sometimes because I get a good feeling, yeah, stumbling a
fine point seven it Smack and Schmidty lifting spirits every
day with what we call feeling good. Little dose of
positivity for you. And this is awesome. If you're a
nature level a lover and animal lover, you want to adventure, well,
Yellowstone National Park probably on your bucket list like it
is for me. And if you're there, you'd love to
(05:37):
see a grizzly bear out there in the wilds. That'd
be amazing. Seeing a grizzly bear with their cub, that
would be absolutely incredible. Seeing a grizzly bear with five
cubs was absolutely unprecedented in the park's history. But that's
just what happened at yellow Stone. Five cubs for one
(05:57):
mama bear has never been seen before. Clording to lydna Veres,
who's the spokesperson for the park, it's super unusual to
see more than two cubs with any individual mama bear,
and even in that scenario, more than half the cubs
don't survive their first year. But this pack looks like
they're doing well. They're going to be closely watched. The
(06:19):
five cubs, she says, are the most they have ever
observed in a litter From at least nineteen fifty nine
until now, they have no recorded history of more cubs
being seen, and wildlife guide Bo Weldon was actually lucky
enough to get a video of the cubs, and you
can hear how excited he is, as well as the
folks that were lucky enough to witness this. There's two.
(06:42):
This would be great. So there's those two, There's three, three, three,
come on, come on, four. No one does five. Being
an expert on all things Yellowstone, he knew what a
significant thing it was. But the video is so cool, spitty,
(07:04):
I'll put it up West Michigan Star dot com. But
five cups, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I love when we get reminders that no matter how
old you are, you can find your passion in life.
Just ask Mike Thompson, a Navy veteran who has walked
a few different paths and is the shining example that
there's no real fixed timeline. He worked on the flight
deck of an aircraft carrier for about nine to ten months,
and then from the sea, he was led to the road,
(07:29):
finding a job driving for FedEx, which he really enjoyed
out of Grand Rapids. That was until COVID happened and
everyone had to you know that word pivot. Mike admits
his calling really wasn't clear until he took on the
monumental task of redoing his family's one hundred year old home.
He tells Fox seventeen. It's the family farm. I didn't
(07:50):
want to see anything happened to it, and over the
course of six years of work, he discovered graphic design
was really his thing. That's when he knows Miss Kendall
College of Art in Design of Ferris State offered an
incredible program. His gi bill helped cover school in. Three
years into this calling, he created a digital magazine also
(08:12):
called a zine, based on his favorite hobby, hunting. The
Spore Print Press won a local American Advertising Award when
Mike got the idea to submit this nationally that came
back with a gold award when he was invited to
headlive and accept it in person. It's greatest advice, no
(08:32):
matter what you know that someday you will find exactly
what you've been wanting to do. I think everyone can,
just about everyone can just get off there and give.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It a go and stick with it. Stick with it, well,
there's hope, Benjmitti's what you're saying here and feeling good
comes ask you a couple of times a day. I
always here to lift you up, share something awesome with you.
We'll do it again coming up this morning. At nine
to twenty here on Startline five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Well, if you've been looking forward to seeing the new
Blake Lively movie, it ends with us. No doubt you've
heard about the drama surrounding the cast behind the scenes.
Well new problems as it ends with us. Director and
actor Justin Baldoni has now hired a crisis manager. Melissa
Nathan is her name. She works for a PR firm,
(09:24):
and this is not great. Generally, all a crisis manager
does is deal with crises. Justin's gotten a lot of backlash,
especially from fans, over his treatment things that may have
happened behind the scenes on set. We've even seen videos
on TikTok showing filming happening and some obvious arguments between
(09:45):
Blake and Justin not only to see the director, but
he also plays her co star lead. Now, sources say
if you ask the cast themselves, they agree their serious
conflict that's been going on, but not really sure who
the villain here is. So Justin has not been seen
doing any press with the rest of the cast. He
was in an entirely separate theater during the premiere, and
(10:08):
it was him and his wife snapping pictures on the
red carpet. Not once was he actually photographed with anybody
else on the movie. There's been lots of stories about
Blake and her husband Ryan actually rewriting some scenes to
this movie, things that creatively did not vibe with what
Justin wanted to see. Blake's also been called out for
using the press tour for It Ends with Us to
(10:30):
promote her haircare company over talking about the very serious
theme at the center of this, which is domestic violence.
This seems really, really bad. Kind of gives me vibes
about the Olivia Wilde movie a couple of years ago.
Everyone was talking about what went down there where no
one would really speak to each other. So far, no
one's really had any official statement about this.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Can I offer a hot take. I think all this
is fake. I think all of it is for publicity.
I have never heard this movie of this movie before.
All the drama about.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
The really Okay, that's because you haven't read the book.
I've been hearing about this for about a year and
a half, so I've seen that take on TikTok, like, oh,
drums up, pr that doesn't make me want to see
this movie, Okay, it actually does the exact opposite, given
the very serious, serious theme behind this. I don't know
if hearing that you worked with a really awful director
(11:24):
who happens to be a man makes me want to
go see a movie that's pretty much centered around domestic violence.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
To me, it was very reminiscent, like you said of
that Olivia Wilde movie. That was another case of like,
I really haven't heard much about this movie, not much
bust and all the sudden.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
That this one has been huge for a very very
long time. All Right, Taylor Swift fans will have to
rethink their tailgating ideas for London because authorities have said
they're not taking any chances. You will not be allowed
to cluster outside Wembley Stadium, the venue making it very
clear yesterday if you don't have a ticket, don't think
(12:00):
about hanging around outside Wembley or the Olympic Steps during
Taylor's five night run. And if you're thinking about camping
out to get a good time, boy, the stadium said
they're in a residential zone and they've already heard from
neighbors that the police will be called. There's been some
other changes fifteen minutes earlier for entry gate, so three
(12:21):
point thirty for early entry for for general admission. Taylor's
team also believes she'll take the stage earlier than her
usual seven to twenty five start time. It is a
major bomber for ticket list Swifties, who have been known
for doing some crazy tailgating. Referenced that Munich show a
couple of weeks ago where forty thousand fans sat on
a park hill across from the stadium. Not the case.
(12:44):
They said they're not taking any risks. Remember I had
that story on Monday. They've even hired private counter terrorism
experts to beef up protection ahead of this.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I think it's the right move. I'm also bummed for
those fans five nights she's gonna be there. I mean,
what an experience to be outside of that all out.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And doctor Drey doesn't just want to perform at the
twenty twenty eight Olympics, he wants to compete. So you
saw an epic closing ceremony in Paris before they handed
that flag over to La where Drey and Snoop came
out on stage for an unbelievable performance. Drey is now
sitting down with Et and says he's training. I'm trying
(13:23):
to try out for the Olympics in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I'm really good about Greg Danson. What are you trying
out for? What are you going to try out for? Archery?
And you're being serious, I'm bas serious.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Dead serious. Drey wants to do archery, and in fact
revealed he's been an archer for decades, all the way
back to junior high when he was part of a team.
He said he lost interest for some time, but now
he's back on board because his son got him a
bow and arrow for Father's Day. He said, he sets
up targets in the backyard, even telling Et I heard
(13:57):
qualifying for the Olympics is seventy seven feet I practice
at ninety.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Seeing m in La, I would love to see him
competing the Olympics. Honestly, I thought after that Turkish shooter
walked up there with no equipment whatsoever, put his hand
in his pocket and won a silver metal, I was like,
everybody's gonna be a shooter. Now, everybody's coming out of
the woodwork.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
This is the archery. I feel like that's way harder.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan start off, HOUM.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Good morning to you. It's Mac and Schmidty and man,
you sound like you just went through.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Something I had. That's a good way to put it.
We had a we had a journey. And I'm going
to make this as PG and not gross as I
possibly can given the fact it's seven fifteen on a
Wednesday morning.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Give us TVMA. I want you to paint the pitcher.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
But this was easily not only my most vulnerable moment
of life, but my most mortifying as well. It's the
reason I was out yesterday. Let's backtrack to Monday. I
had a really tough day on Monday. It was a really,
really tough day just across the board here. And so
I got home and Chris, my husband, knew I'd been
having a really hard day. So we said, hey, we
(15:05):
finally got the boat back. If anybody's been following that journey,
it was months in the shop. So the boat came
back late last week. We haven't had a chance to
go out on it as a family. So he said, listen,
I've packed a cooler, I've got a bunch of like
lunch stuff for the kids. Let's go out on the boat.
The water's supposed to beautiful. We'll go out on the
big lake and just you can turn your phone off
and take an afternoon. I said, that sounds so lovely.
(15:29):
Plus with schools starting back up, I knew it was
going to be one of our last chances to do
this with the kids. So we go out and it
is an absolute stunner of a day. We go out
of Muskegan right on Miskegan Lake. We find this dune
and beach you can only get to by boat, so
we're there all by ourselves. We've laid out a picnic.
The water is like seventy five and amazing. We're having
a really lovely time. And then Will, my six year old,
(15:52):
really wants to go fishing. So then we had out
on the big lake and Chris goes, we can stay
out here till sunset. I think that'd be fine. I'm like,
that sounds beautiful. Dead Like we had the setup. Everything
was going so well, you guys. I don't know what happened,
but hot girls have tummy issues. And I'm sitting out
there on the boat and my stomach starts to her
and you know, you know the hurt I'm talking about. Yeah,
(16:14):
And I'm like, that's really weird. It's not motion sickness.
The water was glass. I'm like, Michigan, not even a wave.
It was beautiful. And then all of a sudden, I
realize that we are we are at a point of
no return. We are at a serious point of no return.
And then turn around to Chris and I'm like, hey,
I'm trying. I'm really sorry. If your kids are listening
right now. I was like, I'm gonna poop my pants.
(16:36):
They and in fact I used a different word so
he knew how serious it was.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And he's like, I also imagining you're white as a
ghost with your eyes just bug eyed, having to turn
to your husband my pants.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Chris, this is an hour into feeling this way. I'm
thinking I can hold off on it. It's coming in wave.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Beads of sweat dripping down your face.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Like, I can do this. We're almost to sunset. We'll
go back in. There's a bathroom at the and he goes, okay,
I'll start pulling lines. I said, no, no, I'm not
going to make it that long. And there I am
at the front of the boat, and I pooped in
Chris's tackle box.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
What the off the side of the.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
So a lot of people brought that up. Well, not
a lot of people. I only you. You all are
the first people I've admitted this to outside of my
best friends. She said the same thing. She's like, you
were in and I go, here's the deal. There's no
ladder on his fishing boat. So and we're out and
a hundred feet of water. So if I get out
of the boat, there's no getting back in it any
(17:41):
easy way. We're in the middle of Lake Michigan, and
I can't hang over the side because there's boats all
around us.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay, I didn't know if you guys were someplace where
you were.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
At least three other fisher groups. I'm sitting there, I'm squatting,
holding my bathing suit to one side, and it is
just like Mount Vesuvius to be as polite as possible.
And yes, I felt like that scene in Bridesmaids where
I'm and I'm like, like I have never felt so
(18:17):
vulnerable and awful in my life, Like my kids are there,
and Chris is just like, all right, guys, let's go.
We'll move to this side of the boat. Let's check,
let's look and see if there's any fish on the line,
And it is just like I mean, I like, I
filled the box. Honestly, it was the worst moment of life.
And the only thing I could be thankful for was
(18:39):
that I was married to this man, because I can't
imagine if this had happened on like a boat date,
I would have, honestly, you know, I know what it
would have happened. I would have jumped out of the
boat and risked my life to swim back to shore
so I never had to see this person again. It
was that humilion.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Oh yeah, that was so much better than I thought
it would have. Possibly, I literally tackle box, all right,
is it is? Is it dead for away? Or did Chris? No,
he did not throw it away. To give you memories
every time you see that thing.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
And then I and then I finally, you know, get
done emptying the tank and there's a lot there and
the worst, almost the worst part, worse than what just happened,
is that you then have to go over the side
and rinse the thing out. So at this point I
noticed the other boats around us understand what's happening, and
they're trying to be respectable, like turn around, and I
just figured it's in this moment I should just be like, yeah,
(19:34):
this is what happens when you take your white fishing
and I'm rinsing this thing out. It was so bad.
You could see it on the fish monitor like it
was so it was so.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Humiliated as it's going down out, it's dropping it to death.
You know what you got yourself? It looks like about
a six seven pounder there. Wait, that might be a record.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
So I was out yesterday because that was about seven pm,
and it did indeed continue until about seven am yesterday.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Sorry, I'm gonna just be just enjoying this for the terrible.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
It was the most terrible thing that's ever I don't
know if I'll ever be able to go on his
book again.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Most terrible, totally would you would you grab me that
lure out of the box. I'm sorry, too soon.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Too soon, It was so there there you go, ye, terrible,
You're gonna have to I'm gonna like, I feel like
I want to call you tackle box. Until the end
of two yesterday, I was like, I'm gonna keep this
PG because what really went down was pretty terrible. But
I'm not gonna be into you.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Said, was like, I don't want to paint you the
picture right now. But it was rough, and I was like, oh,
you know that sounds that sounds bad. I could have
never predicted that it would involve great lakes, tackle boxes,
your husband, and the greatest fishing story I have heard.
Bar nun.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Is this the new pure Michigan.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Showed up non perfect parents? Far from it. But I'd
like to think I'm a good cheerleader for my kids. However,
a little nose of real is completely backfired on me.
It is this week's schmid A little impromptu trip over
the weekend to Cedar Point. It was awesome. My kids
(21:10):
had never been there before. Michelle, my wife, and I
had never been hadn't been there in like twenty plus years,
so this was a real awesome trip to just go on.
But of course, if you've been to Cedar Point, Carnival's
fairs everywhere, you know that all those games with the
stuffed animals and the basketballs and everything else, it's all
a scam, right, I mean, it's.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
My giant claw hate exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Well, it's funny you should say that. So my kids,
like your kids, they love that stuff. They don't understand
that they're not gonna win. They just want to waste
your money because they don't care about it. And both
of my kids asked if they could do the human
claw at Cedar Point, and I told them right off
the bat they could waste my money exactly one time.
All day long, they kept pointing it out. My daughter,
(21:54):
who's a stuffed animal fanatic, is like, I want this one,
I want that one, that one, And I'm like, you guys,
get to choose one. You can choose. You want to
do the human claw, awesome, you want to do basketball awesome,
you want them to guess your birthday, I don't care.
You get to each choose one of these things. And
they were gonna do human claw, and then they saw
that they could only get a ball for that, and
so they passed on that. We're walking out of the
(22:16):
park after an awesome, like ten hour day, and my
daughter wants to do the ring toss game spitty on
those glass bottles. They give you like seventy five to
one hundred of those things to try and toss on there,
and all you have to do to get the biggest
prize is put one ring on the dang glass because
it's so impossible. We watch probably four or five people
(22:38):
go through. Nobody's coming close, and I'm explaining to her.
I'm like, there's a reason why all of these big
ones are like this. You see anybody walking around the
park with a big stuffed animal, it's because you can't
win this. She wants to gamble on it and smitty
a word there for thirty seconds. When my daughter, dang it,
puts one on the dang.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Rig in history, are you suking?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
She wins an eight foot tall Lemur stuffed animal. Schmitty.
It's bigger than anyone in my family.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
This thing's gonna fit the car.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
We weren't sure. We had to walk up. Both of
my kids were required to carry this thing out of
the park. Basically one of them was on tail duty.
It's so large. Meanwhile, my son steps up to the
basketball one the rims are super tiny. First shot in
wins and like.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
A major cedar point money right back.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
They sat there going dead. You didn't believe that we
could win. They sat there over and over again talking
about how I told them that it was a waste
of time and money. As they carried their twenty five pound,
eight foot tall stuffed animal to my car. Just believe
in your kids, folks. Don't get me wrong, Schmitty. I'm
happy that they won, but I just know that now
(23:51):
any single time we go to any fair, any any
place like that, David Busters, it doesn't matter. I'm not
getting out of there without wasting cash on those games.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I'm just more so thinking how how do you sneak
an eight foot animal to the Goodwill? But that's just
me trying to clean out a house with two kids.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Moodie's music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Well, Kansas City Chief Star Travis Kelsey has always kind
of done himself a very stylish individual, but if you
ask his quarterback player Patrick Mahomes, Taylor Swift is behind
a lot of that. Of course, Kelsey and Swift started
dating last year, and the couple confirming their relationship when
she showed up to the Chiefs Bears game. But now
(24:38):
Patrick is saying even his looks have been inspired by
his very stylish girlfriend. Talking with NFL.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Radio, I've been trying to get in the girl's hair
out and all of a sudden Taylor gets them to
do it.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Why Yeah, Kelsey of course has been sporting some slightly
longer hair in the Chiefs camp as they build up
at the start of that new season, as well as
a mustache that Corina Soursos was also Barry Taylor inspired.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I just wonder why why Patrick Mahomes cares.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Trying to get Travis ded Gros's hair out for like
four seasons.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
It doesn't make sense. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
George Clooney Quentin Tarantino, big ol' Hollywood beef is brewing.
George giving an update on his relationship with his former
from Dusk Till Dawn co star in the September issue
of GQ, slamming at the famed director for trashing his
big screen career in the media. As Clooney puts it,
he was quote unquote a little irritated with Quentin after
(25:39):
the director said that Clooney wasn't a real movie star
since he hadn't had a hit since the Millennium. The
dig left Clooney pretty ticked off. He fired back, since
the millennium that's kind of my whole effing career. So
now I'm like, all right, dude, f off. Clooney's call
out in the magazine was even more awkward because Brad
(25:59):
Pitt also stars on the cover with him and they
did this interview together. Now, Brad, who stars alongside Clooney
and Wolf's, did offer any additional commentary, but did laugh
when Plooney was kind of going off about things didn't fair.
Bloney does have two Oscars, five Golden Globes, and an
AFI Life Achievement Awards, So maybe Quinton was a little
(26:19):
off in that.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
And it's weird too because there must be some more
underlying drama because Quentin Tarantino like uses the same people
in movies over.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
And over and no, there's a lot that has come
down on this.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
And he hasn't used Clooney since dust Hill Dawn.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Finally, a former Michigan football head coach, Jim Harbaugh will
not be returning for the big season opener. According to
head coach Sharon Moore, he said that he got the
call from Harbaugh and he made it very clear he's
not leaving his current team, telling the Free Press, he
called me and told me he didn't feel he could
leave his team. In true coach Harbaugh fashion wanted to
(26:56):
be in the fox Hole with his team not make
it look like he's taking a deep law bow, so
he's not gonna make it for the game. But we
will have some of our former players guys will be there,
and then Jack and Jackie Harbaugh are stepping up to
take his place, so we're all super excited about that.
Of course, the big season opener August thirty first against
Fransnow States.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I'm just so excited for football to be back.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
All of your Celebscoop but West Michigan, Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Mackag, Spinny rolling, commercial free and an opportunity to throw down.
It's battle of the sexiest time in your shot to
get to a whole lot of fun for the whole family.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
It's the greatest show on Earth. The Ringling Brothers and
Barnum and Bailey making an October stop at Vanndel. Today's
number one answer scores you and the fam tickets. One
hundred men surveyed Name something two people on a date
would share.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Oh, let's go Dutch baby for sharing that.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Bill romantic six one, six, four, eight, one oh five
seven callers seven First chance at the number one answer.
One hundred men surveyed names something two people on a
date would share, you could be headed to the Greatest
show on Earth with Star one five point seven?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Good Morning Star? Who's this? Do good Ed? Let's see
if we can get you over to the Cirtcus. You
gotta tell me Ed. One hundred men were asked to
name something two people on a date would share. What
do you think? Their top answer was, ed, food. You're
gonna have to be a bit more specific than that, Ed,
it is a type of food, but I can't tell
you what kind desserts? Yeah, sharing that dessert that is
(28:28):
actually the number two answer. I'm sorry, Ed, you too,
Good Morning Star? Who's this? Gosh? Josh just got a
great guess from Ed? But one hundred guys were asked
to name something two people would share on a date.
He said, what I was thinking was the top answer
was desserts, But that is the number two most common answer.
So what do you think it is? There, Josh? That
(28:50):
was my guess. I'm gonna say Bill, Oh, Bill, like
I threw in there now? Bill not on this list, Sorry, Josh,
Hi Star, who's this? Corey? I've gotten a couple of
good guesses, but not the right answer yet. Two gentlemen
have given me guesses when one hundred guys were asked
to name something two people on a date would share.
(29:12):
So far I heard desserts, which was the number two
most common answer, and the bill, which was not on
the list. So what do you think it is, Corey?
Oh gosh, that's one of those I was gonna say. So,
how about maybe if you're on a date, you might
share a kiss. On a date, you might share a kiss, well,
at least if it's a good one. Kiss is the
(29:33):
top answer. Congratulation. Awesome, yeah, Corey. See everybody else is
thinking about bills and food. You're over there thinking about
after the fact. Absolutely, that's all right, even this early
in the morning. I'm impressed, Corey. Congratulations, you have got
four tickets to go check out the greatest show on Earth,
Barnum and Bailey and the Ringling Brothers at Van Andelerina. Congrats.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Awesome, thank you, You're very welcome.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
We'll do it again tomorrow eight fifteen. Battle of the Sexes.
Here on starting a five point seven. I'm on a two.
It's Mack and Schmidty. And you know what, if you've
still got some time left before the kiddo's head back
to school and you've got an opportunity to get out.
You don't have to have a plan and I and honestly,
that feels so weird for me to say. Over the weekend,
(30:17):
we made a decision that we were going to go
to Mcinaw Island with the kids. Nice. Yeah, we were
so excited. I haven't been there in forever since I
was a kid. As a matter of fact, my kids
had never been there, and this was something we talked
about throughout the summer and we said, this is the
weekend to do it. I took Monday off of work.
They're like, we're going to go up and enjoy mckinaw Island.
And then the day comes, it's going to be rainy
(30:39):
up at Mackinaw Islands. The high temperature after all this
eighty and humid whether we have was going to be
like sixty degrees thirty mile an holmbur winds and you're on.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
The streets, it's yeah, mo than like a forecast makes
it low.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You know, I don't. I'm the guy who's like, I
don't care if it's raining, let's go. Like I am
all about the adventure. Weather doesn't bother me too much.
But in my head, I'm like, is this the way
that my kids should get to experience this for the
first time? Are they going to enjoy it? And if
they're not enjoying it, are they going to joy that?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
If I get to pony up at the Pink Pony
all day, but if I've got my kids with me,
that doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
So we are literally within an hour of leaving for
mckinaw Island SCHVIDI and we just say, do you guys
want to go to Cedar Point instead?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Nice?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah, We just all of a sudden completely decided, you
know what, forget going north. We're gonna go Doue East
uh and go and check out roller coasters. And my
kids were like, well, I wanted to go to Maccanaw,
but roller coasters, yes, for sure. They were all over
and my wife, who is a planner, she is a planner,
hate spontaneity, yeah, was like, I don't really want to
(31:43):
be up there if it's rainy and windy and everything
else is like, let's do this. So we completely changed
our trip at the very last second and went a
completely different direction into a whole different activity, and we
had the best dang all worked out, and I think
part of it is because we didn't have any expectation
with it. You know, when you plan something, you build
it up in your head, you tell your kids you're
gonna do this, you're gonna do that, and then you
(32:05):
and you know, weather comes in something like that, I
can ruin your whole vibe. But when something unexpected comes
your way, you're like, I gotta wait in line for
half an hour. Who cares, I'm about to go on
one of the top roller coasters in the world.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
That is our last trip to Mackinaw Island this summer.
Like we were gonna go. We were up in the
up anyway, and we were gonna make a whole day
out of it. And then the kids woke up, they
were tired. We've been at the campground the day before.
It was crazy. And then Chris called me at like noon,
he said, Hey, I'm out fishing with a couple of cousins.
Let's pick you up. God lunch on the island, went
docked on the private side of the island, had lunch
(32:37):
two hours left. Kids loved it.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
See he loved it.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Did you as a kid you remember ever taking any
spontaneous you know, spontaneous trips with your parents where all
of a sudden you thought you were doing one thing
and it wound up being a completely different one.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
No, but there were six of us. I don't think
you can be spontaneous. I think there's a line at
which you draw us.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Fine, see for that, fair enough, fair enough, But what
is that thing that you got spontaneous about out on
a road trip? It was really cool. I saw that
there were people on our Facebook shmmittee who had coin
flip vacations where they would take two destinations who have
lit a coin and that's where they would go, and
they would keep doing that on road trips. That's a
crazy idea, Greg said. My dad asked me where I
(33:16):
was going on vacation and told him the car was
pointed north. We went to places I would have never
thought of. Best trip ever.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I think the spotanaity can add something to it. Have
you ever done that before? We got this conversation going
on Facebook. It's West Michigan Star sometime.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Does that get a good feeling?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Let's give you that lift up we could all use,
especially as we go through hump day. It's feeling good
right now and starting on five point seven Maca schmitting
with you.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
This is so cool. Lions Star eight Hutchinson spend some
time with thirteen year old Max, who has down syndrome,
after training camp practice the other day, and the video
has gone viral. They're hugs and even Max's action, We're
truly so heartwarming. Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Thank you here fusday. Do I tell you it's fun? Yeah,
I tell you yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Even calling him out saying, yeah, man, Hunch, I saw
you sitting down on the bench for a little bit there, Aid,
and I haven't doing I was a little tired today.
Max is all part of Hutch's Heroes. If you're not aware,
it's a program where Aiden connects with special needs kids,
offering them memorable experiences and personal interactions. He said, time
and time again, that's what it's all about. Seeing their
(34:40):
joy and being able to inspire them is very inspiring
to me. It's a great video. I'll put it up
at West Michigan Star Flavor flav Schmidty.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
He's sort of become this darling and I feel like
it started a lot recently with his love of Taylor
Swift and being a whole Swifty. Then it moved to
the Olympics when strangely he committed to a five year
sponsorship Flava Flav sponsoring the USHA women's water polo team
sounds odd, But then at the Olympics he also hooked
(35:09):
up with Reddick co founder Alex Ohanian to help pay
the rent of one TV USA discus thrower. And now
stepping up yet again for an Olympian, this one USA
gymnast Jordan Schilds, who, if you haven't been paying attention
to the drama that has gone down, her Olympic bronze
medal that she want to believe in floor exercise was
(35:30):
taken away from her due to a technicality. So as
Flavor has just been a big supporter of all things
Olympics during this entire process, he hopped online to say
that you know, not only should she feel great about
what she did, but that he was going to hook
her up with her very own bronze clock necklace in
true Flava Flav fashion. Who got her back? Damn again?
(35:57):
That nobody want game game lay the Flav sharing the
video that he was going to do this with this
awesome rap. As a matter of fact, Jordan Chill's mom
responded and said, understandably during this time, Jordan is off
of social media. But this is really beautiful sentiment to
him or to her, and she's really thanks.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Good for you, Flav.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
I mean, come on, boy, feeling good coming at you
twice a day. I always want to tell you something
awesome going on out there. We'll do it again tomorrow
six forty five and nine twenty on Star Mack and
Schmidty in the morning weekday starting at six am on
Star one oh five point seven
It gets my day going and makes me lab it
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one O five.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Point seven, Good morning, Welcome into your Wednesday. And I
know everybody's schedule around West Michigan for when kids go
back is all over the place.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
This is weird to me.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
It is I had I had. I had friends in
Vegas and in Chicago go back to school on Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I had Florida that we're back last week.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's all over the place. But
I know for my kids and a lot of kids
here in West Michigan, today marks the one week countdown
until they go back to school.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Okay, yeah, so that's right at East and Grandville there
past that they go back Monday.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
They go back Monday Monday. Yep, I think that makes sense.
I don't ever understand the school scheduling stuff around here.
But it's not just here, it's everywhere. Like we go
back to school in the middle of a week. Yeah,
and we end our school year in the middle of
a week. Like I just never understand what is so
wrong about Mondays and Fridays that you guys can't keep
(01:04):
in an orderly fashion. I mean, if they can do
it in the lunch line as like nine year olds.
When I think of my own kids, I think people
could make a schedule as it felt.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I think we're less than a week from Sofia going
to preschool. She's back Tuesday, and then my son's got
an entire another week. So like we're sitting around last
night and I'm thinking we haven't done any school shopping
yet because I still feel like it's only August fourteenth,
And then teachers everywhere are like, yeah, I've been in
my classroom for almost two weeks now, So best of luck,
we're getting through at that crazy schedule. We appreciate you
(01:34):
waking up with us. We know probably even more of
you will be joining once that pickup line and bust
stop picks.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Back up, movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
It's the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Well, Rachel Lindsay, former Bachelorent, has some very sage advice
for our brand new bachelor, Grant Ellis. Well, you may
be on the show looking for love, make sure you've
lawyered up. Former bachelor read telling TMZ the most important
thing Grant can do to protect himself if he decides
to propose on the hit ABC show, is get some
(02:09):
legal backing. Of course, Rachel's experience post show didn't go
so great. She has been me deep be a super
bitter divorce with her bachelor Brian she met back on
the show back twenty seventeen, who is currently getting thirteen
thousand dollars a month in spousal support from her following
their twenty nineteen wedding and now is pushing for even
(02:32):
more cash in legal fees. Is a very bitter fallout. However,
Rachel did make sure to say she enjoys the fact
that they continue to be inclusive and diverse on the show.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, ab Seal pay for that massive rock for you
to get engaged with, but they're not going to touch
your alimony payments after that.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, Katy Perry and the crosshairs of the Spanish legal system.
Spain is taking serious issue with Katie's new meal music
video for this single Lifetimes, which she filmed on the
bally Eric Islands, happens to be a protected area. The
regional government's Department of Environment is now investigating after seeing
(03:14):
the video, which they're saying does show a roped off
area of the dunes where she They can only assume
camera crew, production team, and a bunch of equipment is
in tow. Katie filmed in the middle of those protected
dunes on a very important Spanish inlet. They're saying she
(03:34):
was not authorized to film there. No one from her
team even reached out to the Spanish government to see
if this was something that they could do, and the
department has that a preliminary investigation is underway to determine
if there's a serious violation here.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
What a way to get caught right, Like I mean, like,
what do you mean? We did go at Eddie restricted areas?
Excuse me. It's featured in the music video. I just
watched it on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Great news for Katie. Finally, Kylie Jenner maybe the newest
hit sensation in the recording studio, teasing she might want
to become a pop singer. So you'll remember it was
four years ago since this iconic moment where she did
a tour of her house and brought us into Stormy's room.
Crass and shine, that's how she wakes her up every day.
(04:21):
It's so good, right she crass and shine? Well, she
is in a new interview year stuff lately British Vogue
discussing finally finding her feet in the fashion industry after
devoting her twenties to motherhood, but months after bringing her
high end clothing line Kai to life, she wants to
go step further. When asked by Vogue if she ever
(04:42):
hoped to be a pop star as a kid, she replied,
I think so. Yeah. I always knew I never had
a fantastic voice to run anything, but I should be
a singer. No, seriously, maybe when I'm done making clothes,
I'll get into the recording studio.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I think she's a little tongue in cheek right there.
Because play it one more time? Do you have it?
Ruddy Schmitty? Can I hear it?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Pros and shine? Maybe I'm wrong, that's just pure talent.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
You got Chris Jenner. So there's no way she's not
going to find a way and another avenue of money.
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Sometimes because I get a good feeling, yeah, stumbling a
fine point seven it Smack and Schmidty lifting spirits every
day with what we call feeling good. Little dose of
positivity for you. And this is awesome. If you're a
nature level a lover and animal lover, you want to adventure, well,
Yellowstone National Park probably on your bucket list like it
is for me. And if you're there, you'd love to
(05:37):
see a grizzly bear out there in the wilds. That'd
be amazing. Seeing a grizzly bear with their cub, that
would be absolutely incredible. Seeing a grizzly bear with five
cubs was absolutely unprecedented in the park's history. But that's
just what happened at yellow Stone. Five cubs for one
(05:57):
mama bear has never been seen before. Clording to lydna Veres,
who's the spokesperson for the park, it's super unusual to
see more than two cubs with any individual mama bear,
and even in that scenario, more than half the cubs
don't survive their first year. But this pack looks like
they're doing well. They're going to be closely watched. The
(06:19):
five cubs, she says, are the most they have ever
observed in a litter From at least nineteen fifty nine
until now, they have no recorded history of more cubs
being seen, and wildlife guide Bo Weldon was actually lucky
enough to get a video of the cubs, and you
can hear how excited he is, as well as the
folks that were lucky enough to witness this. There's two.
(06:42):
This would be great. So there's those two, There's three, three, three,
come on, come on, four. No one does five. Being
an expert on all things Yellowstone, he knew what a
significant thing it was. But the video is so cool, spitty,
(07:04):
I'll put it up West Michigan Star dot com. But
five cups, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I love when we get reminders that no matter how
old you are, you can find your passion in life.
Just ask Mike Thompson, a Navy veteran who has walked
a few different paths and is the shining example that
there's no real fixed timeline. He worked on the flight
deck of an aircraft carrier for about nine to ten months,
and then from the sea, he was led to the road,
(07:29):
finding a job driving for FedEx, which he really enjoyed
out of Grand Rapids. That was until COVID happened and
everyone had to you know that word pivot. Mike admits
his calling really wasn't clear until he took on the
monumental task of redoing his family's one hundred year old home.
He tells Fox seventeen. It's the family farm. I didn't
(07:50):
want to see anything happened to it, and over the
course of six years of work, he discovered graphic design
was really his thing. That's when he knows Miss Kendall
College of Art in Design of Ferris State offered an
incredible program. His gi bill helped cover school in. Three
years into this calling, he created a digital magazine also
(08:12):
called a zine, based on his favorite hobby, hunting. The
Spore Print Press won a local American Advertising Award when
Mike got the idea to submit this nationally that came
back with a gold award when he was invited to
headlive and accept it in person. It's greatest advice, no
(08:32):
matter what you know that someday you will find exactly
what you've been wanting to do. I think everyone can,
just about everyone can just get off there and give.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It a go and stick with it. Stick with it, well,
there's hope, Benjmitti's what you're saying here and feeling good
comes ask you a couple of times a day. I
always here to lift you up, share something awesome with you.
We'll do it again coming up this morning. At nine
to twenty here on Startline five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Well, if you've been looking forward to seeing the new
Blake Lively movie, it ends with us. No doubt you've
heard about the drama surrounding the cast behind the scenes.
Well new problems as it ends with us. Director and
actor Justin Baldoni has now hired a crisis manager. Melissa
Nathan is her name. She works for a PR firm,
(09:24):
and this is not great. Generally, all a crisis manager
does is deal with crises. Justin's gotten a lot of backlash,
especially from fans, over his treatment things that may have
happened behind the scenes on set. We've even seen videos
on TikTok showing filming happening and some obvious arguments between
(09:45):
Blake and Justin not only to see the director, but
he also plays her co star lead. Now, sources say
if you ask the cast themselves, they agree their serious
conflict that's been going on, but not really sure who
the villain here is. So Justin has not been seen
doing any press with the rest of the cast. He
was in an entirely separate theater during the premiere, and
(10:08):
it was him and his wife snapping pictures on the
red carpet. Not once was he actually photographed with anybody
else on the movie. There's been lots of stories about
Blake and her husband Ryan actually rewriting some scenes to
this movie, things that creatively did not vibe with what
Justin wanted to see. Blake's also been called out for
using the press tour for It Ends with Us to
(10:30):
promote her haircare company over talking about the very serious
theme at the center of this, which is domestic violence.
This seems really, really bad. Kind of gives me vibes
about the Olivia Wilde movie a couple of years ago.
Everyone was talking about what went down there where no
one would really speak to each other. So far, no
one's really had any official statement about this.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Can I offer a hot take. I think all this
is fake. I think all of it is for publicity.
I have never heard this movie of this movie before.
All the drama about.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
The really Okay, that's because you haven't read the book.
I've been hearing about this for about a year and
a half, so I've seen that take on TikTok, like, oh,
drums up, pr that doesn't make me want to see
this movie, Okay, it actually does the exact opposite, given
the very serious, serious theme behind this. I don't know
if hearing that you worked with a really awful director
(11:24):
who happens to be a man makes me want to
go see a movie that's pretty much centered around domestic violence.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
To me, it was very reminiscent, like you said of
that Olivia Wilde movie. That was another case of like,
I really haven't heard much about this movie, not much
bust and all the sudden.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
That this one has been huge for a very very
long time. All Right, Taylor Swift fans will have to
rethink their tailgating ideas for London because authorities have said
they're not taking any chances. You will not be allowed
to cluster outside Wembley Stadium, the venue making it very
clear yesterday if you don't have a ticket, don't think
(12:00):
about hanging around outside Wembley or the Olympic Steps during
Taylor's five night run. And if you're thinking about camping
out to get a good time, boy, the stadium said
they're in a residential zone and they've already heard from
neighbors that the police will be called. There's been some
other changes fifteen minutes earlier for entry gate, so three
(12:21):
point thirty for early entry for for general admission. Taylor's
team also believes she'll take the stage earlier than her
usual seven to twenty five start time. It is a
major bomber for ticket list Swifties, who have been known
for doing some crazy tailgating. Referenced that Munich show a
couple of weeks ago where forty thousand fans sat on
a park hill across from the stadium. Not the case.
(12:44):
They said they're not taking any risks. Remember I had
that story on Monday. They've even hired private counter terrorism
experts to beef up protection ahead of this.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I think it's the right move. I'm also bummed for
those fans five nights she's gonna be there. I mean,
what an experience to be outside of that all out.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And doctor Drey doesn't just want to perform at the
twenty twenty eight Olympics, he wants to compete. So you
saw an epic closing ceremony in Paris before they handed
that flag over to La where Drey and Snoop came
out on stage for an unbelievable performance. Drey is now
sitting down with Et and says he's training. I'm trying
(13:23):
to try out for the Olympics in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I'm really good about Greg Danson. What are you trying
out for? What are you going to try out for? Archery?
And you're being serious, I'm bas serious.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Dead serious. Drey wants to do archery, and in fact
revealed he's been an archer for decades, all the way
back to junior high when he was part of a team.
He said he lost interest for some time, but now
he's back on board because his son got him a
bow and arrow for Father's Day. He said, he sets
up targets in the backyard, even telling Et I heard
(13:57):
qualifying for the Olympics is seventy seven feet I practice
at ninety.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Seeing m in La, I would love to see him
competing the Olympics. Honestly, I thought after that Turkish shooter
walked up there with no equipment whatsoever, put his hand
in his pocket and won a silver metal, I was like,
everybody's gonna be a shooter. Now, everybody's coming out of
the woodwork.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
This is the archery. I feel like that's way harder.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan start off, HOUM.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Good morning to you. It's Mac and Schmidty and man,
you sound like you just went through.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Something I had. That's a good way to put it.
We had a we had a journey. And I'm going
to make this as PG and not gross as I
possibly can given the fact it's seven fifteen on a
Wednesday morning.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Give us TVMA. I want you to paint the pitcher.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
But this was easily not only my most vulnerable moment
of life, but my most mortifying as well. It's the
reason I was out yesterday. Let's backtrack to Monday. I
had a really tough day on Monday. It was a really,
really tough day just across the board here. And so
I got home and Chris, my husband, knew I'd been
having a really hard day. So we said, hey, we
(15:05):
finally got the boat back. If anybody's been following that journey,
it was months in the shop. So the boat came
back late last week. We haven't had a chance to
go out on it as a family. So he said, listen,
I've packed a cooler, I've got a bunch of like
lunch stuff for the kids. Let's go out on the boat.
The water's supposed to beautiful. We'll go out on the
big lake and just you can turn your phone off
and take an afternoon. I said, that sounds so lovely.
(15:29):
Plus with schools starting back up, I knew it was
going to be one of our last chances to do
this with the kids. So we go out and it
is an absolute stunner of a day. We go out
of Muskegan right on Miskegan Lake. We find this dune
and beach you can only get to by boat, so
we're there all by ourselves. We've laid out a picnic.
The water is like seventy five and amazing. We're having
a really lovely time. And then Will, my six year old,
(15:52):
really wants to go fishing. So then we had out
on the big lake and Chris goes, we can stay
out here till sunset. I think that'd be fine. I'm like,
that sounds beautiful. Dead Like we had the setup. Everything
was going so well, you guys. I don't know what happened,
but hot girls have tummy issues. And I'm sitting out
there on the boat and my stomach starts to her
and you know, you know the hurt I'm talking about. Yeah,
(16:14):
And I'm like, that's really weird. It's not motion sickness.
The water was glass. I'm like, Michigan, not even a wave.
It was beautiful. And then all of a sudden, I
realize that we are we are at a point of
no return. We are at a serious point of no return.
And then turn around to Chris and I'm like, hey,
I'm trying. I'm really sorry. If your kids are listening
right now. I was like, I'm gonna poop my pants.
(16:36):
They and in fact I used a different word so
he knew how serious it was.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And he's like, I also imagining you're white as a
ghost with your eyes just bug eyed, having to turn
to your husband my pants.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Chris, this is an hour into feeling this way. I'm
thinking I can hold off on it. It's coming in wave.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Beads of sweat dripping down your face.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Like, I can do this. We're almost to sunset. We'll
go back in. There's a bathroom at the and he goes, okay,
I'll start pulling lines. I said, no, no, I'm not
going to make it that long. And there I am
at the front of the boat, and I pooped in
Chris's tackle box.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
What the off the side of the.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
So a lot of people brought that up. Well, not
a lot of people. I only you. You all are
the first people I've admitted this to outside of my
best friends. She said the same thing. She's like, you
were in and I go, here's the deal. There's no
ladder on his fishing boat. So and we're out and
a hundred feet of water. So if I get out
of the boat, there's no getting back in it any
(17:41):
easy way. We're in the middle of Lake Michigan, and
I can't hang over the side because there's boats all
around us.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay, I didn't know if you guys were someplace where
you were.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
At least three other fisher groups. I'm sitting there, I'm squatting,
holding my bathing suit to one side, and it is
just like Mount Vesuvius to be as polite as possible.
And yes, I felt like that scene in Bridesmaids where
I'm and I'm like, like I have never felt so
(18:17):
vulnerable and awful in my life, Like my kids are there,
and Chris is just like, all right, guys, let's go.
We'll move to this side of the boat. Let's check,
let's look and see if there's any fish on the line,
And it is just like I mean, I like, I
filled the box. Honestly, it was the worst moment of life.
And the only thing I could be thankful for was
(18:39):
that I was married to this man, because I can't
imagine if this had happened on like a boat date,
I would have, honestly, you know, I know what it
would have happened. I would have jumped out of the
boat and risked my life to swim back to shore
so I never had to see this person again. It
was that humilion.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Oh yeah, that was so much better than I thought
it would have. Possibly, I literally tackle box, all right,
is it is? Is it dead for away? Or did Chris? No,
he did not throw it away. To give you memories
every time you see that thing.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
And then I and then I finally, you know, get
done emptying the tank and there's a lot there and
the worst, almost the worst part, worse than what just happened,
is that you then have to go over the side
and rinse the thing out. So at this point I
noticed the other boats around us understand what's happening, and
they're trying to be respectable, like turn around, and I
just figured it's in this moment I should just be like, yeah,
(19:34):
this is what happens when you take your white fishing
and I'm rinsing this thing out. It was so bad.
You could see it on the fish monitor like it
was so it was so.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Humiliated as it's going down out, it's dropping it to death.
You know what you got yourself? It looks like about
a six seven pounder there. Wait, that might be a record.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
So I was out yesterday because that was about seven pm,
and it did indeed continue until about seven am yesterday.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Sorry, I'm gonna just be just enjoying this for the terrible.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
It was the most terrible thing that's ever I don't
know if I'll ever be able to go on his
book again.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Most terrible, totally would you would you grab me that
lure out of the box. I'm sorry, too soon.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Too soon, It was so there there you go, ye, terrible,
You're gonna have to I'm gonna like, I feel like
I want to call you tackle box. Until the end
of two yesterday, I was like, I'm gonna keep this
PG because what really went down was pretty terrible. But
I'm not gonna be into you.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Said, was like, I don't want to paint you the
picture right now. But it was rough, and I was like, oh,
you know that sounds that sounds bad. I could have
never predicted that it would involve great lakes, tackle boxes,
your husband, and the greatest fishing story I have heard.
Bar nun.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Is this the new pure Michigan.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Showed up non perfect parents? Far from it. But I'd
like to think I'm a good cheerleader for my kids. However,
a little nose of real is completely backfired on me.
It is this week's schmid A little impromptu trip over
the weekend to Cedar Point. It was awesome. My kids
(21:10):
had never been there before. Michelle, my wife, and I
had never been hadn't been there in like twenty plus years,
so this was a real awesome trip to just go on.
But of course, if you've been to Cedar Point, Carnival's
fairs everywhere, you know that all those games with the
stuffed animals and the basketballs and everything else, it's all
a scam, right, I mean, it's.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
My giant claw hate exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Well, it's funny you should say that. So my kids,
like your kids, they love that stuff. They don't understand
that they're not gonna win. They just want to waste
your money because they don't care about it. And both
of my kids asked if they could do the human
claw at Cedar Point, and I told them right off
the bat they could waste my money exactly one time.
All day long, they kept pointing it out. My daughter,
(21:54):
who's a stuffed animal fanatic, is like, I want this one,
I want that one, that one, And I'm like, you guys,
get to choose one. You can choose. You want to
do the human claw, awesome, you want to do basketball awesome,
you want them to guess your birthday, I don't care.
You get to each choose one of these things. And
they were gonna do human claw, and then they saw
that they could only get a ball for that, and
so they passed on that. We're walking out of the
(22:16):
park after an awesome, like ten hour day, and my
daughter wants to do the ring toss game spitty on
those glass bottles. They give you like seventy five to
one hundred of those things to try and toss on there,
and all you have to do to get the biggest
prize is put one ring on the dang glass because
it's so impossible. We watch probably four or five people
(22:38):
go through. Nobody's coming close, and I'm explaining to her.
I'm like, there's a reason why all of these big
ones are like this. You see anybody walking around the
park with a big stuffed animal, it's because you can't
win this. She wants to gamble on it and smitty
a word there for thirty seconds. When my daughter, dang it,
puts one on the dang.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Rig in history, are you suking?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
She wins an eight foot tall Lemur stuffed animal. Schmitty.
It's bigger than anyone in my family.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
This thing's gonna fit the car.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
We weren't sure. We had to walk up. Both of
my kids were required to carry this thing out of
the park. Basically one of them was on tail duty.
It's so large. Meanwhile, my son steps up to the
basketball one the rims are super tiny. First shot in
wins and like.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
A major cedar point money right back.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
They sat there going dead. You didn't believe that we
could win. They sat there over and over again talking
about how I told them that it was a waste
of time and money. As they carried their twenty five pound,
eight foot tall stuffed animal to my car. Just believe
in your kids, folks. Don't get me wrong, Schmitty. I'm
happy that they won, but I just know that now
(23:51):
any single time we go to any fair, any any
place like that, David Busters, it doesn't matter. I'm not
getting out of there without wasting cash on those games.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I'm just more so thinking how how do you sneak
an eight foot animal to the Goodwill? But that's just
me trying to clean out a house with two kids.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Moodie's music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Well, Kansas City Chief Star Travis Kelsey has always kind
of done himself a very stylish individual, but if you
ask his quarterback player Patrick Mahomes, Taylor Swift is behind
a lot of that. Of course, Kelsey and Swift started
dating last year, and the couple confirming their relationship when
she showed up to the Chiefs Bears game. But now
(24:38):
Patrick is saying even his looks have been inspired by
his very stylish girlfriend. Talking with NFL.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Radio, I've been trying to get in the girl's hair
out and all of a sudden Taylor gets them to
do it.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Why Yeah, Kelsey of course has been sporting some slightly
longer hair in the Chiefs camp as they build up
at the start of that new season, as well as
a mustache that Corina Soursos was also Barry Taylor inspired.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I just wonder why why Patrick Mahomes cares.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Trying to get Travis ded Gros's hair out for like
four seasons.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
It doesn't make sense. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
George Clooney Quentin Tarantino, big ol' Hollywood beef is brewing.
George giving an update on his relationship with his former
from Dusk Till Dawn co star in the September issue
of GQ, slamming at the famed director for trashing his
big screen career in the media. As Clooney puts it,
he was quote unquote a little irritated with Quentin after
(25:39):
the director said that Clooney wasn't a real movie star
since he hadn't had a hit since the Millennium. The
dig left Clooney pretty ticked off. He fired back, since
the millennium that's kind of my whole effing career. So
now I'm like, all right, dude, f off. Clooney's call
out in the magazine was even more awkward because Brad
(25:59):
Pitt also stars on the cover with him and they
did this interview together. Now, Brad, who stars alongside Clooney
and Wolf's, did offer any additional commentary, but did laugh
when Plooney was kind of going off about things didn't fair.
Bloney does have two Oscars, five Golden Globes, and an
AFI Life Achievement Awards, So maybe Quinton was a little
(26:19):
off in that.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
And it's weird too because there must be some more
underlying drama because Quentin Tarantino like uses the same people
in movies over.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
And over and no, there's a lot that has come
down on this.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
And he hasn't used Clooney since dust Hill Dawn.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Finally, a former Michigan football head coach, Jim Harbaugh will
not be returning for the big season opener. According to
head coach Sharon Moore, he said that he got the
call from Harbaugh and he made it very clear he's
not leaving his current team, telling the Free Press, he
called me and told me he didn't feel he could
leave his team. In true coach Harbaugh fashion wanted to
(26:56):
be in the fox Hole with his team not make
it look like he's taking a deep law bow, so
he's not gonna make it for the game. But we
will have some of our former players guys will be there,
and then Jack and Jackie Harbaugh are stepping up to
take his place, so we're all super excited about that.
Of course, the big season opener August thirty first against
Fransnow States.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I'm just so excited for football to be back.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
All of your Celebscoop but West Michigan, Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Mackag, Spinny rolling, commercial free and an opportunity to throw down.
It's battle of the sexiest time in your shot to
get to a whole lot of fun for the whole family.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
It's the greatest show on Earth. The Ringling Brothers and
Barnum and Bailey making an October stop at Vanndel. Today's
number one answer scores you and the fam tickets. One
hundred men surveyed Name something two people on a date
would share.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Oh, let's go Dutch baby for sharing that.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Bill romantic six one, six, four, eight, one oh five
seven callers seven First chance at the number one answer.
One hundred men surveyed names something two people on a
date would share, you could be headed to the Greatest
show on Earth with Star one five point seven?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Good Morning Star? Who's this? Do good Ed? Let's see
if we can get you over to the Cirtcus. You
gotta tell me Ed. One hundred men were asked to
name something two people on a date would share. What
do you think? Their top answer was, ed, food. You're
gonna have to be a bit more specific than that, Ed,
it is a type of food, but I can't tell
you what kind desserts? Yeah, sharing that dessert that is
(28:28):
actually the number two answer. I'm sorry, Ed, you too,
Good Morning Star? Who's this? Gosh? Josh just got a
great guess from Ed? But one hundred guys were asked
to name something two people would share on a date.
He said, what I was thinking was the top answer
was desserts, But that is the number two most common answer.
So what do you think it is? There, Josh? That
(28:50):
was my guess. I'm gonna say Bill, Oh, Bill, like
I threw in there now? Bill not on this list, Sorry, Josh,
Hi Star, who's this? Corey? I've gotten a couple of
good guesses, but not the right answer yet. Two gentlemen
have given me guesses when one hundred guys were asked
to name something two people on a date would share.
(29:12):
So far I heard desserts, which was the number two
most common answer, and the bill, which was not on
the list. So what do you think it is, Corey?
Oh gosh, that's one of those I was gonna say. So,
how about maybe if you're on a date, you might
share a kiss. On a date, you might share a kiss, well,
at least if it's a good one. Kiss is the
(29:33):
top answer. Congratulation. Awesome, yeah, Corey. See everybody else is
thinking about bills and food. You're over there thinking about
after the fact. Absolutely, that's all right, even this early
in the morning. I'm impressed, Corey. Congratulations, you have got
four tickets to go check out the greatest show on Earth,
Barnum and Bailey and the Ringling Brothers at Van Andelerina. Congrats.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Awesome, thank you, You're very welcome.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
We'll do it again tomorrow eight fifteen. Battle of the Sexes.
Here on starting a five point seven. I'm on a two.
It's Mack and Schmidty. And you know what, if you've
still got some time left before the kiddo's head back
to school and you've got an opportunity to get out.
You don't have to have a plan and I and honestly,
that feels so weird for me to say. Over the weekend,
(30:17):
we made a decision that we were going to go
to Mcinaw Island with the kids. Nice. Yeah, we were
so excited. I haven't been there in forever since I
was a kid. As a matter of fact, my kids
had never been there, and this was something we talked
about throughout the summer and we said, this is the
weekend to do it. I took Monday off of work.
They're like, we're going to go up and enjoy mckinaw Island.
And then the day comes, it's going to be rainy
(30:39):
up at Mackinaw Islands. The high temperature after all this
eighty and humid whether we have was going to be
like sixty degrees thirty mile an holmbur winds and you're on.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
The streets, it's yeah, mo than like a forecast makes
it low.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You know, I don't. I'm the guy who's like, I
don't care if it's raining, let's go. Like I am
all about the adventure. Weather doesn't bother me too much.
But in my head, I'm like, is this the way
that my kids should get to experience this for the
first time? Are they going to enjoy it? And if
they're not enjoying it, are they going to joy that?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
If I get to pony up at the Pink Pony
all day, but if I've got my kids with me,
that doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
So we are literally within an hour of leaving for
mckinaw Island SCHVIDI and we just say, do you guys
want to go to Cedar Point instead?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Nice?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah, We just all of a sudden completely decided, you
know what, forget going north. We're gonna go Doue East
uh and go and check out roller coasters. And my
kids were like, well, I wanted to go to Maccanaw,
but roller coasters, yes, for sure. They were all over
and my wife, who is a planner, she is a planner,
hate spontaneity, yeah, was like, I don't really want to
(31:43):
be up there if it's rainy and windy and everything
else is like, let's do this. So we completely changed
our trip at the very last second and went a
completely different direction into a whole different activity, and we
had the best dang all worked out, and I think
part of it is because we didn't have any expectation
with it. You know, when you plan something, you build
it up in your head, you tell your kids you're
gonna do this, you're gonna do that, and then you
(32:05):
and you know, weather comes in something like that, I
can ruin your whole vibe. But when something unexpected comes
your way, you're like, I gotta wait in line for
half an hour. Who cares, I'm about to go on
one of the top roller coasters in the world.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
That is our last trip to Mackinaw Island this summer.
Like we were gonna go. We were up in the
up anyway, and we were gonna make a whole day
out of it. And then the kids woke up, they
were tired. We've been at the campground the day before.
It was crazy. And then Chris called me at like noon,
he said, Hey, I'm out fishing with a couple of cousins.
Let's pick you up. God lunch on the island, went
docked on the private side of the island, had lunch
(32:37):
two hours left. Kids loved it.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
See he loved it.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Did you as a kid you remember ever taking any
spontaneous you know, spontaneous trips with your parents where all
of a sudden you thought you were doing one thing
and it wound up being a completely different one.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
No, but there were six of us. I don't think
you can be spontaneous. I think there's a line at
which you draw us.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Fine, see for that, fair enough, fair enough, But what
is that thing that you got spontaneous about out on
a road trip? It was really cool. I saw that
there were people on our Facebook shmmittee who had coin
flip vacations where they would take two destinations who have
lit a coin and that's where they would go, and
they would keep doing that on road trips. That's a
crazy idea, Greg said. My dad asked me where I
(33:16):
was going on vacation and told him the car was
pointed north. We went to places I would have never
thought of. Best trip ever.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I think the spotanaity can add something to it. Have
you ever done that before? We got this conversation going
on Facebook. It's West Michigan Star sometime.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Does that get a good feeling?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Let's give you that lift up we could all use,
especially as we go through hump day. It's feeling good
right now and starting on five point seven Maca schmitting
with you.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
This is so cool. Lions Star eight Hutchinson spend some
time with thirteen year old Max, who has down syndrome,
after training camp practice the other day, and the video
has gone viral. They're hugs and even Max's action, We're
truly so heartwarming. Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Thank you here fusday. Do I tell you it's fun? Yeah,
I tell you yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Even calling him out saying, yeah, man, Hunch, I saw
you sitting down on the bench for a little bit there, Aid,
and I haven't doing I was a little tired today.
Max is all part of Hutch's Heroes. If you're not aware,
it's a program where Aiden connects with special needs kids,
offering them memorable experiences and personal interactions. He said, time
and time again, that's what it's all about. Seeing their
(34:40):
joy and being able to inspire them is very inspiring
to me. It's a great video. I'll put it up
at West Michigan Star Flavor flav Schmidty.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
He's sort of become this darling and I feel like
it started a lot recently with his love of Taylor
Swift and being a whole Swifty. Then it moved to
the Olympics when strangely he committed to a five year
sponsorship Flava Flav sponsoring the USHA women's water polo team
sounds odd, But then at the Olympics he also hooked
(35:09):
up with Reddick co founder Alex Ohanian to help pay
the rent of one TV USA discus thrower. And now
stepping up yet again for an Olympian, this one USA
gymnast Jordan Schilds, who, if you haven't been paying attention
to the drama that has gone down, her Olympic bronze
medal that she want to believe in floor exercise was
(35:30):
taken away from her due to a technicality. So as
Flavor has just been a big supporter of all things
Olympics during this entire process, he hopped online to say
that you know, not only should she feel great about
what she did, but that he was going to hook
her up with her very own bronze clock necklace in
true Flava Flav fashion. Who got her back? Damn again?
(35:57):
That nobody want game game lay the Flav sharing the
video that he was going to do this with this
awesome rap. As a matter of fact, Jordan Chill's mom
responded and said, understandably during this time, Jordan is off
of social media. But this is really beautiful sentiment to
him or to her, and she's really thanks.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Good for you, Flav.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
I mean, come on, boy, feeling good coming at you
twice a day. I always want to tell you something
awesome going on out there. We'll do it again tomorrow
six forty five and nine twenty on Star Mack and
Schmidty in the morning weekday starting at six am on
Star one oh five point seven
