Speaker 1 (00:03):
Wake up. It gets my day going and makes me laugh.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven. Let's do this thing, Schmidty, Happy Friday
to you.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Gorgeous to say, it isn't it, but it is.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
It does feel good. Gorgeous not maybe descriptive of the weather,
except a gorgeous night of sleep is hopefully what you got,
because man, those showers at least over my neck of
the woods coming down basically from the evening last night,
all night long, Schmidy, we opened up the windows and
the doors, just enjoyed the part of.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
The city we didn't get as much, but happy about
it because I had a packed night last night. I
ran from a client meeting to a preschool open house,
to flag football to a birthday party. So I was
thrilled to not have to be doing some driving in
the heavy stuff.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Which one was the best? Which one was the worst?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
The preschool open house was the best. School, Yeah, it
was great. Oh my gosh, my girl starts on Tuesday.
Oh no, no, no, no, just check it. No not
even she went to school last year. Okay, so she
went to school last year and literally didn't even wave Yeah,
that's true. I'm great. I'm so excited for her. She's
going to full five days this year. She knows the schools,
she already knows the teachers. She was thrilled. It was

(01:12):
just such a nice transition. Last night. We got to
see a bunch of parents from last year that we
hadn't seen over the summer. It was nice.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
That's awes well, look at there, and then how was
flag football? Was this practice number one? Or has he's
been at it a little bit?

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Practice five?

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Practice five? You guys are at it.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
That team's working, Crockford, Baby, we don't mess around with
our sports.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
I guess not, because I know's doing flag football too.
Hasn't even started yet. They haven't done their combine yet.
There's a two day combine that's still got to come up.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Honey. We've been at it for a bit.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven Well.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Law enforcement authorities say a broad underground criminal network was
responsible for supplying Friends star Matthew Perry with the kennemine
that eventually led to his death at only fifty four. Yesterday,
Breaking news as we heard in the afternoon that two
medical doctors, Perry's live in assistant, and someone referred to

(02:11):
as the ketamine Queen, have been charged with illegally conspiring
to provide the drug to the friends actor. This from
the DA's office.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
We charged five defendants in this matter. These defendants took
advantage of mister Perry's addiction issues to enrich themselves. They
knew what they were doing was wrong. They knew what
they were doing was risking great danger to mister Perry,
but they did it anyways. In the end, these defendants
were more interested in profiting off mister Perry than caring.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
For as well being. There's just some really heartbreaking details
that have come out in this investigation, including an email
that was sent from one defendant saying, I wonder how
much this moron will pay for the ketamine. Harry's assistant
allegedly administered more than twenty shots of ketamine in the
last four days of Perry's life, even though he knew

(03:03):
Perry was spiraling out of control. The ketamine Queen, Yazvien Sanga,
sold that fatal dose her home, was also a part
of that search. Authorities also say the defendants then tried
to cover up what they were doing with code words
calling ketamine, doctor pepper, cans, and bots. Last night we
got an update as the Ketamine Queen and doctor Salvador

(03:25):
Placentia appeared in court pleading not guilty. A third person,
doctor Mark Chavez, has copped a plea deal in the case,
and Matthew Perry's assistant to prosecutors say helped broker the
drug deals, have already copped plea deals as well. This
is nowhere near done, but just really sad to see
someone so taken advantage of.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
You know, yeah, and there's personal responsibility in there too,
if anything like this. I actually just feel terrible for
his friends and family that all of these details have
been made so public so easily, Like these people need
to be brought to justice and understand why that has
to happen. At the same time, we basically now know
the final hours of Matthew Perry's life, what he was doing,

(04:10):
what was going on in his life, and I just
think that that's kind of gross.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Well, next scoop, I'll have what Keith Morrison, his stepdad,
has to say about this investigation. Make shake Up at ESPN.
Robert Griffin the third is officially unemployed. The former Heisman
Trophy winning quarterback has been scrapped from his gig with ESPN,
despite a few years remaining on his contract. News broke

(04:33):
yesterday no reason being given for the move, but it
seems to be quite the shocking development, even for RG three.
So he was part of Monday night countdown, and we
knew that there might be some changes because he lost
his spot on the desk to Hall of Famer Jason Kelsey,
who joined the team of course upon his retirement, but
figured he'd still have other opportunities. He'd been calling games

(04:57):
for ESPN. He made tons of appearances on Get Up,
First Take RG three finally tweeting about this yesterday afternoon
with this scene from Friday.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
How do hear you gonna get fired on the day off?

Speaker 3 (05:10):
I don't know, So it sounds like he was pretty
shocked by this as well.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
I fully expect to see RG three on Fox Sports
doing college coverage this year.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
They're saying multiple networks are jumping at the opportunity to
get in. And finally, I want to do this real
quick because I know some of you will have loved
this man. Peter Marshall, the longtime game show host, best
known for his time on Hollywood Squares.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Fall true or false? Your teeth are about the same
size and shape as a pigs.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Look who's talking, beaver face?

Speaker 3 (05:46):
He was so good. He has passed away due to
kidney failure. At his Encino home yesterday, he was surrounded
by loved ones. According to a statement from his publicist.
He actually left daytime television in the early eighties and
had a prolific Broadway career ninety eight.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Years old ninety eight.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Wow, all of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star
dot com.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling? Lets get a
little pick me up in on this Friday morning Mack
and schmidte on Stewino five point seven with feeling good
right now? And what an incredible scene yesterday on the
Kalamazoo River as a video is out there now of
bystandards rescuing a man only seconds before his pickup truck
sank again into the Kalamba Zoo over in Douglas. This

(06:32):
happened around noon yesterday over a near Blue Star Highway
in Washington Street, where a truck wound up all of
a sudden, hitting several objects a utility poll and several
other things before ultimately going into the river like the
middle of the river. But that's when some bystandards step in. Schmidty.
This is unbelievable video where they are alongside this truck

(06:56):
as it is sinking quickly. The driver appears to be
the only person in the vehicle that they can see,
and really quickly they realize they can't get them ount
through the doors or the windows, so they use a
fire extinguisher to smash the back window. That's what you
hear in this video shared by would TB eight. That's
the fire extinguisher, and then these two gentlemen work to

(07:19):
get the driver of this truck out of the vehicle
as fast as they can. You hear emergency crews getting
to the scene, get them out, and they're able to
pull this guy out. Mannie, I'm not even kidding you.
You see them pull the guy out and then within
five seconds the entire truck is gone.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, videos wild.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
It is absolutely nuts. The driver was the only person
the truck taken to the hospital. They believe the crash
was medical related. His injuries not life threatening though, and
Douglas Police chief just saying these innocent. These bystanders just heroes.
This would have been a different outcome if it wasn't
for the folks who were out there on their boats.
Those guys are all doing okay, but just insane. I'll

(08:01):
put the video up for you at West Michigan Star
dot com.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
All right. Meteorologist Nate Byrne was in the middle of
a weather forecast on live TV in Melbourne, Australia when
he started to become breathless and looked very tense. It
turns out he was having a full blown panic attack
live on the air, but the video is going viral
for how supportive his colleagues were, immediately taking over for

(08:28):
burn and praising him for being so open about his
mental health. Here's how it sounded.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
And we're going to see lots more rain in the
days ahead. I'm actually going to need to stop for
a second. Some of you may know that I occasionally
get affected by some panic attacks, and actually that's happening
right now, Lisa, maybe I could hand back to you.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
You certainly can date and Nate wrote a great piece
on the ABC online website about this, and I reckon
we might reap it because it's fantastic that he has
been so open and transparent about it, and the response
when he first wrote about it and spoke about it
was that everyone said, oh, thank god, Night's not perfect.

(09:10):
We thought he was perfect, but actually he's now sharing something.
So we'll put that up and you can get a
little bit of an understanding of some of the things
that go on with our brains and our bodies when
we're doing live television.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
The comments are incredible. This is so wonderful and supportive.
More of normalizing this. His colleagues deliver a master class
in how to react in this situation. It's not the
first time it's happened to him, and every time he
has spoken so openly about this. It's a really really
supportive video to watch that will also be up West
Michigan Star on Facebook.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
You know what, I'm ature thing to be able to
know about yourself, to be able to grab control of
the situation, you should be able to go like a
I'm having a panic.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
You should see some of the others. That's exactly what
he does. He goes wild, guys, I'm having that, and
they pop right in. I mean, his work environment must
be incredible.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Feeling good comes down to you a couple times a day.
I always want to sh the great things going on
out or won't. We'll do it again for you today
coming up at nine twenty Here on startwinell five points seven.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Well, while Matthew Perry's family is still grappling with his death,
they're grateful to learn that justice is being served. After
five people were arrested in connection to the actors ketemine
death yesterday, there's five people that have been arrested. As
an update, je yasviin Sanghai, I think is how you

(10:34):
say her name? Allegedly known as the Ketemine Queen, Doctor
Salvador Place Sensha are currently the lead defendants. They're accused
of selling Matthew the Kenemine that killed him. They were
arraigned yesterday. Three others, including Matthew's former assistant, doctor Mark
Chavez and Eric Fleming, also arrested and charged. They have
already copped plea deals. It's interesting to know that the

(10:57):
family's spokesperson has pretty much been dated lines Keith Morrison.
If you didn't know the stepdad of Matthew Perry, very
very hurt from his passing, who issued a statement saying
we were and still are heartbroken by Matthew's death. But
it's helped to know law enforcement has taken this case
very seriously and we look forward to justice taking its course.

(11:19):
It sounds very much like they're taking this seriously. Here
is the official press conference with the DA's office yesterday.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
We charged five defendants in this matter. These defendants took
advantage of mister Perry's addiction issues to enrich themselves.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
They knew what they were doing was wrong.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
They knew what they were doing was risking great danger
to mister Perry, but they did it anyways. In the end,
these defendants were more interested in profiting off mister Perry
than caring for as well being.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
It does sound like there could be some serious prison
time for those top two defendants.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
I mean, the guy was in the midst of an
addiction where he's taken essentially. I mean, I know they
used ketamine for therapies. Now it's a horse tranquilizer, it's
an anesthet he was using.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
It for depression. But they're arguing that this circle around
him knew he was back in the throes of addiction.
And I mean when you read some of the text
messages that have come out. At one point there's a
message that prosecutors found where it was an email saying
how much do you think this moron will pay for
the Kendemy And it's just that's disgusting. Daylor Swift, of
course with some surprise guests for her first night at

(12:26):
Wembley Stadium in London last night. I'm not sure any
of us are surprised to know it was Ed Sheeran.

(12:51):
Oh they sounds so good together. They also sing a
mashup of everything has changed, endgame and of course thinking
out Loud. Such a huge surprise for Swifties. Another interesting
little surprise in a new live bonus track from the

(13:15):
Tortured Poet's Department, Swifties caught a very interesting change. So
last night, Swift's web store announced the release of two
new limited edition digital versions of her latest album. One
includes The Prophecy Live from Leon, while the other includes
Thank You Amy Live from London. You'll remember Amy spelled

(13:37):
Aimee had the K, the I and the M capitalized
and most people thought that was a dig at Kim Kardashian.
Taylor has switched this title up, and as of last night,
the Y and E is now capitalized for Ya boo
girl got both of them in one song.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yes, Maddy, I gotta ask you alright? So we had
ed sheer and that seems like on the nose. Who
do we have coming in the next few nights. I'm
gonna throw out there, cha artists. I'm gonna throw a
name out there. Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney, I think is
gonna come out for a Taylor Swift show. I'm calling
my show.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
It would depend on his energy. That's that's a lot,
not no problem. That's to sir Paul. I'm just saying
one person we will not be seeing anytime soon. Uh Sure.
I had the breaking scoop yesterday. He canceled the kick
off to his Past Present Future tour in Atlanta, which
is his hometown, and just said he needed some time

(14:34):
to get well. Turns out he suffered a neck injury
during rehearsals earlier this week. He said he hopes that
with physical therapy and medical treatment, he would be able
to overcome the injury and be ready for opening night. Unfortunately,
the injury has not healed yet. My doctors have instructed
me not to perform any shows this week. Good news

(14:55):
docs say that with appropriate rest and treatment, I should
be ready to commit the tour in DC on August twentieth.
But that means all of those Atlanta shows have now
been moved to December.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
You know what, I hope Usher's getting old like Ushmittian
that he didn't injure his neck doing like his insanely
cool dance moves, but instan sleeping or a violent sneeze,
you know what I mean. And it's just not drash.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Sorry, man, We're all there with you, all of your
celeb scoop at West Michigan. Start off com let's.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Start on a fine point seven macka Smitty with you
on this Friday morning? And are you fun or trashy?
Is that what you were asking? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (15:29):
I might be the trashy neighbor. We wouldn't have realized
this because I think the fact we'd we hang out
like this in our garage might make it a little
trash here. So I talked. A few days ago. We
finally got the fishing boat back. It's been a shot
for months. We've had this boat for a couple of years.
So when we lived in our old house, which was
right outside the city here, it didn't fit in our

(15:50):
single stall city garage. So we would sit out on
the driveway with it right It'd be like parked in
the driveway and we'd we'd sit and hang in it.
We'd treat it, we trade it like a deck. We'd
sit out there. Chris could like put it's fishing lines together,
get his lures. I'd sit in like one of the
other seats and like have a drink. And I guess
it didn't feel as weird because we were still outside,

(16:13):
Like neighbors would pop, you know, buy on a walk.
You know, hey, guys, how's it going. But we just
got the boat back for the first time in our new.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
House, so neighbors, your neighbors at this point had not
seen you guys living it up in your your boat. Fall.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Well, like the boat also fits in the garage. So
now we're not sitting out on the driveway. We're tucked
away in the garage, sitting in our boat. And it's
weird because the other day all the kids were playing
out front, so it was perfect because we had an
eye on I'm like sitting in the boat. But then
I realized nobody can see us because we're in the garage.

(16:48):
And so our next door neighbor came out to check
on the kids, and I was like, you know, oh, hey, Rebecca,
we got it, and she kind of starts back and
she goes, oh, that's interesting, and I was like, then
I focused it on it, and I said, okay, we
are in this nice neighborhood, and she's right, we are

(17:09):
sitting like absolute creepers in our garage, sitting in a
Boatain's hat. Well, like, well, my husband's in one of
his weird, gross looking fishing shirts, tying lines. Get bush light.
I'm there with my whole bottle of wine because it's
a Sunday afternoon. Why not. And I went, oh, my gosh,

(17:32):
I think we're trashy. Like I looked at Chris and
said exactly that. I went, uh, oh are we those neighbors?
But but I mean Rebecca came back over with a
tumbler of wine that in the boat with us for
like two hours. She's like, this is great. You're raised up.
You have a much better view of the kids. I'm like,
thank you, because I kind of felt like we were
the clumpets moving into the Beverly Hillbilly.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
So even if you were, even if you were, I
think the clampets.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Sorry, I really I've never seen it.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
I'm like, you just went before your time there for sure,
too early. But you know, I'm just thinking of her
thinking to herself, these are my people, like to let
me go get the tumblr enjoined them in there in
their nice yachts that they're hanging out into.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Their Yeah, no, no, it's about the furthest thing from
a yacht. I don't when I say we have a boat,
I just need you all to understand, like it's a
fishing boat that, as Chris likes to say, we don't
mind bumping up against things.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
You have.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
You have taken some station vehicles though, like the Star
one oh five point seven vehicle or the Wood radio vehicle.
You've parked them in your driveway a little bit right, No, not.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yet, right in the garage in the door show.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
I was just curious because you know, if these neighbors
heard your boat story from Wednesday about you pooping in
a tackle.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Box, it would not be sitting.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
You'd be under the trashy column. One hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
I got the pole going on our instant stories right now,
I showed you a little video of exactly what this
looks like. Am I fun or am I trashy? And
you can be totally honest about it.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
I don't think they have to be mutually exclusive. I
like what funny. I like our fun trashy friends maybe
the best.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
I feel like I should be in a specific outfit
when I hang out this way. You have some cutoffs
and weird denim.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah, or maybe one of your fantastic one piece jumpers,
because you've got some really good ones of those too. Yeah. Yeah,
you can dress those up or down. Those two can
classy fun or trashy.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
You can be trash comes at you fast, y'alls.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Mack and Schmidty in the Morning on Star one five
point seven, Spill and.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
See take time spill the too, sweetheart.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
It's right. Everybody's got their own drama and we like
to share yours. On Fridays, it is Mack and Smitty
in the Morning with tea time right now, Schmidty. And
of course with college students, I think welcome weeks like
next week for most colleges going back pretty dang close.
So this one right on time for some drama. What
advice would you maybe give this mom whose daughter's going

(19:52):
through some Hey, mack and schmitty, I've got some dorm
room drama for you, guys. My daughter and one of
her best friends are both headed to ms U and
signed up to live together in the dorps. While that
was before my daughter's friend began dating my daughter's ex boyfriend,
they broke up in May, he started dating her friend
in July. I knew this caused a big rift between them,
but I thought that moved past it. However, what I

(20:14):
didn't know is that my daughter contacted MSU last month
and had her dorm assignment changed without telling her friend.
Her friend found out just last week, and World War
three broke out via text. They're moving into the dorms
next week and have their high school drama all packed
and ready to go.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Bye. You're not a friend.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Ah see, that's the route you're going with it.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
I mean, I'm sorry, honey. There is fifty one, three
hundred and sixteen students that were enrolled at Michigan State
last year. That's fair, and here's the deal. Like, I
think that is serious girl code that was broken. I
think I don't think she was a good friend. Yeah,
you know, eventually you'll understand that you probably should have
been honest and told her. But like, you're also eighteen
years old. Like I wasn't that way at eighteen. I

(20:59):
love what hollow said. She wasn't a best friend if
she's dating an ex. Second, tell your daughter to move on.
People are in our lives for a season or a reason.
Time to find new friends.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, but I feel like real life is messier than that,
and like that friendships, by and large outdo relationships. Like
I just feel like you probably had friends that dated
similar guys at some point in time. This is high school.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
No, Like, honey, there is and I'm not trying to
be rude here. Ye look at how many who are
you still close with from high school? Because I've got
about three people my college people that I met this
is It's fine if you're not feeling it. Also, she's
gonna break up with this dude in a few months
and maybe you guys repair things. Get off the phone,
forget the text, leave the thread, focus on the fact

(21:44):
that you're about to have some of the most fun
four years of your life and you don't need this baggage.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, got a way in on this. We've got it
up right now on Facebook. We always wanted your tea
time too. That's where you can send it to us.
At West Michigan Star. You got some drama going in
on your in your life, we are happy to weigh
in on this. I'm just thankful, like for the mom
in this situation, the woman who wrote in Newish Minty,
she's just got to be saying to herself, I'm so
happy this is out of my house in a week,
just to remove herself from this situation. Well done. Mom.

(22:11):
At West Michigan Star.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Place, it's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Gymnast and Olympic gold medalist Jordan Childs finally opening up
about losing her Olympic bronze medal with that drama involving
her and a Romanian gymnast during their floor routine. Ann
it's clear she is furious over this ruling. She's been
off social media the last couple weeks, finally returning yesterday,

(22:44):
writing I'm overwhelmed by the love I've received over the
past few days. I've heard the devastating news that my
bronze medal had been stripped away. I had confidence in
the appeal brought by USAG, who gave conclusive evidence that
my score followed all rules. She goes on to say,
I have no words. This decision feels unjust and comes

(23:06):
as a significant blow, not just to me, but to
everyone who has championed my journey. To add to the heartbreak,
the unprompted racially driven attacks on social media are wrong
and extremely hurtful. I have poured my heart and soul
into this sport, and I am so proud to represent
my culture and my country. She goes on to say,

(23:27):
I've taken pride in cheering on everyone, regardless of team
or country. I am now confronted with one of the
most challenging moments of my career. But I'll approach this
challenge as I have others, and I'll make every effort
to ensure that justice is done. Check this out. I
believe at the end of this journey, the people in
control will do the right thing. Signing at Jordan Child's.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Very interesting set up here, Schmidty, I think it's wild
that the appeal that they tried to put in that
the US Olympic Committee filed came in four seconds too late,
and that was part of the technicality that they denied
her appeal for right, it.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Was a minute that they have But then US Gymnastics
gave them video evans they said was conclusive that they
gave that inquiry at forty seven seconds. Okay, And then
to do you hear the latest one of I hope
I'm getting this right. One of the people on that
IOC judgment team. Oh yeah, defended Romanian interests in court

(24:29):
for years. Yeah, this thing is a little stinky, and
I do not think we are done with it yet.
Travis Kelsey is going to be real frightening on your
small screen because we finally have our first look at
what he looks like in Grotesque Ray. Remember this is

(24:50):
the new FX series from Ryan Murphy that we had
heard he was joining the cast for Big Cast. By
the way, Nissi Nash, Courtney b Vance, Leslie Manville. But
check out how wild this sounds.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Something is happening.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Around you understand this monster.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
We have to decipher these murders.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
It looks really ghoulish and Kelsey is front and center.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Wait wait, wait, you said Ryan Murphy right, Like, is
that the guy who gave us Glee? Is it Ryan?
Is it Ryan Murphy? The guy who gave us Glee?

Speaker 3 (25:26):
You get it that right?

Speaker 4 (25:26):
Right?

Speaker 3 (25:27):
This is he said all the American Horror Stories, didn't he?

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Oh that part? I don't know. But if you tell
me Ryan Murphy is the director of Glee, I'm going
to mind this. Now you have to tell me schmiddy.
Now I want to know.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Oh yeah, created by the co creators of Bleek.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
I just.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Did American all the American Horror Stories, but also was
on Glee.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, the first director, that is. I would not have
thought those two projects could be linked.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Like no, I'm pretty sure he did both. Grotesque Array,
by the way, officially drops September twenty fifth, and we'll
get to that brat New Lady Gaga Bruno Mars. But first,
some drama At Bruno's show last night, fans were left
pretty upset after finding themselves locked out of LA's into
It Dome arena thanks to a ticket scanner problem. So

(26:16):
Bruno's concert, the first of two back to back shows,
mark the official opening of this brand new indoor arena
in Englewood, but a major hiccup and a technical issue
with into Its ticketing system, which relies on facial recognition,
had about eighteen thousand people just sitting outside the arena.

Speaker 7 (26:35):
Apparently the machines are down to try to get us in,
and it's just like thousands of people just stalled outside
the gate.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
You know, this is opening day, but this is very disorganized.
It was not great press. He was supposed to take
the stage at nine. Finally they figured out what was
going on and he eventually was able to perform after ten.
Oh yeah, but that didn't stop all of the big,
big momentum for this new one. Finally out Lady Gaga,

(27:06):
Bruno Mars. This is Die with a smile, brand new
You're West Michigan World premiere right now West Michigan Star
dot Com.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
For your scoops. All right, let's do this battle of
the sexist time. We want to get you out to
Ringling Brothers of Barnum and Bailey, bringing us the greatest
show on Earth this October.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
All right, here we go six one, six, four five eight,
one oh five seven. We've got one hundred women surveyed.
What is something you do to prepare for a natural disaster?
Real upper on a Friday? Yeah on, I don't know
the doomsday preppers. This's a call. I learned that you
got to get in on the toilet paper early. That's
what I learned from twenty twenty Schmidty. You get the
toilet paper early. One hundred women surveyed what is something

(27:44):
you do to prepare for a natural disaster? Six one, six, four, five, eight,
one oh five seven caller seven. You give us that
number one answer, We're gonna give you Wringling Brothers and
Barnum and Bailey tickets. It's Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Hi Star, who's this Mary? Where are you calling from today?

Speaker 3 (28:03):
All right?

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Mary? One hundred women were asked to name something you
might do to prepare for a natural disaster. What do
you think the top answer is there? Mary, Other than
toilet paper, it would have to be food. I agree,
other than toilet paper. I'm glad we're both on the
same page that we put that on. A pedestal is
the most important thing. But stockpiled food is the number

(28:25):
one answer. Well done, Mary, Yes, it was food and
then water. You know, I would think it should be
the opposite, but that's not how they answered it. It
was food followed by water, then it was bored up
windows and buy batteries and evacuate. Rounding out those top answers.
Well done, Mary, Well, at least I know if there's

(28:45):
a natural disaster, I can go to Mary's house and
there will for sure be toilet paper and food for everyone.
Love it well, I'm coming over all right, Thanks Mary,
Congratulations going to Barnum and Bailey and the Ringling Brothers.
That's the greatest show on Earth's gonna be really cool
over there at Van Andeloerena this October. Heck, yes she is,

(29:06):
and we will hopefully be getting you in as well.
Be listening for more chances to win Battle of the
Sexes eight fifteen every weekday here on Stallbino five points seventh.
Have a great week yet, Mary, thank you too. Maybe
you're feeling the countdown to the end of summer that
is just pressing down upon us. I feel like anytime

(29:28):
your kids are about to go back to school, when
you start making labor day plans, it just starts creeping
into your psychic.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
So my best friend is done with summer after the
fourth of July. She's like, she takes the summer stuff
is done. She's like praying for sixty degrees and sweater weather.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
She loves the humidity, is what you're saying. She's all
about it, all right, SCHMITTI I'm going to read you
three sentences really quick that I put up on our
Facebook at West Michigan Star, and I want you to
tell me the first thing that pops into your head
when I tell you this. Okay, So here we go.
Here's the first one. Leaves fall in six.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Weeks, already seen leaves changing.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
I have two at my house. It actually like six weeks.
Is I'm like, unjustifiably mad that that's happening. Oh, we
can all sit there and talk about when the peak
colors are coming. That's the conversation switches, all right, So
that you say it's already happening, already happening. I'm good
with it, all right, Crisp Mornings with ice and snow
in just ten weeks.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, most people love it. I don't. At three am now, sorry.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
You're thinking of the commutes, I'm thinking of just.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Walking out my front door, like I'm not ready for
Mother Nature to slap me yet.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
See. I thought it was going to be that first
snow in Michigan. Drivers. That's what pops into my head, right,
y'all are terrible, all right, and then finally lights glow
as in holiday lights in fourteen weeks.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Really excited. You've never had Christmas in our new house,
and we're going to get like it's eighteen foot tree
and we're going to do all the things. We've got
our woods behind us that we're going to put twinkling
lights through. Very really excited for Christmas.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
At are you're building this back boy up right? The
first one? How many? How many new decorations do you
think you'll get from people that are like my first
home or with Ford Snowman.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
I new home. Yeah, I gotta tell you, I'm setting
like the highest most unrealistic expectations, and I'm so excited
about it.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Honestly. I put this up and we had all the
varied reactions from no, God, no, please, don't let it
happen to the first one, Tammy, I am so ready
for fall, not ready for snow or Christmas yet? Can
we go from fall directly to spring? I think there's
a lot of people like that, all.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Those people going no, no, please, less than three months
until we become your official Christmas music station on Star
one oh five point seven.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Sometime does that get a good feeling.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Happy to brighten up this dreary Friday. Feeling good right
now in Stuo fin points seven Incemackage Minty.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
I don't know, this might be worth a little road
trip to Comerica Park this weekend. The Tigers are serving
a very special sandwich that's doing a lot of good.
It's called Scoobles Snacks. That's right. All star pitcher at
Trek's Scuble has designed a burger with bacon, pepper jack, cheese,
light mayo, and a fried egg. It's something he calls

(32:14):
a true specialty. But here's the cool part. Portions of
the sales are going to benefit an organization called Alternative
for Girls. Trek joined the MLB Network yesterday.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, so, I mean the charity that I'm going to
pick is Alternatives for Girls. It's a local Detroit charity
helps with you know, young single moms, youth and Detroit homelessness,
sex trafficking, domestic violence, all that kind of stuff. Gives
them a place to stay and get back on their feet.
So that's something that you know, me and my wife
are pretty passionate about that cool.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
So, I don't know, maybe go sink your hands into
this delicious sounding schooble snack of a burger help some
amazing people in Detroit along the way.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Sounds like a good burger. And I just love the
fact that I didn't realize how close he is to
Scooby Doo like this just sounds like Scooby.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Snacks to Yeah, and then his looks.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
His entire clubhouse got to call him scoob all the time,
which has giving me real shaggy vibes. Here, schmiddy. This
is cool because we're looking in down the barrel of
a new school year, I've already got a feeling good
story about a teacher before it even begins. Laura Eakeans
is her name. She's a gym teacher at Pender High
School in Williamton, North Carolina, and all the way back
in twenty sixteen, she met a student, Khalik Baty, and

(33:26):
they immediately had a great bond. And around that time,
Baty was suffering from chronic kidney disease. He wound up
undergoing surgery and getting a new kidney, which was great. However,
he recently learned that kidney was failing again and he
would need another transplant to survive. Driven by her faith.
Laura said she wanted to donate that kidney to Khalik

(33:46):
and went for the testing, but sadly found out she
was not a match for him. I was just talking
to you about this earlier. I didn't know you could
even do this. She decided she would donate her kidney
to a complete strain, which would allow her to be
a part of a voucher program that would.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Then move Khalik towards the top of.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
The donor registry list. So she was able to help
a complete stranger while also helping her former student. And
she said she was just called to do this and
knew it was the right thing to do.

Speaker 8 (34:17):
I was thinking about it and I was talking to
my husband about it that morning. I said, somebody has
been praying and wanting a kidney, and because I made
the decision, they're going to get that man.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Our educators literally giving themselves for their former students. So incredible.
She just underwent the surgery completely successful, just a couple
of weeks ago. Now Khalik waiting for his kidney, which
he is going to get much sooner now, all because
of the self like a selfless activist teacher.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Just a reminder everyone can be an organ donor really cool.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Feeling good comes at you a couple times a day
to tell you about something awesome that's happening in our world.
We do it every weekday. Join us again on Monday
six forty five and nine to twenty year on Starck
Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekdays starting to six
am on Star one oh five point seven
