Speaker 1 (00:03):
Wakem It gets my day going.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It makes me laugh.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I of it. Mac and Schmitty in the morning on
Star one O five point seven, Oh good morning's ready?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh happy? Almost Friday like.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
That weekend eve around here, as we have dubbed it.
And yes, not only a Friday are we headed into,
but a holiday weekend on deck Schmitty. Yeah, it'll be
nice and after, you know, maybe the first week or
two of school for a lot of kids, maybe I
think that extra break comes in pretty handy, you know
what I mean. Right off the bat, you hit school
going one hundred miles an hour, and then you just
(00:38):
get an extra little bit of time.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
My kids are so disappointed, real I hate that they
have Tomorrow and Monday off. But before we get to
all that, I know a ton of West Michigan is
stoked because high school football takes up. I know my
family's super excited. We're all going to the game and
our homesound of rock Ford tonight. It'll be our first
one and that just screams like fall on its way.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
That's a huge game for rock Fortey.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Huge cast Tech is coming in.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
From Deshroitt Tech from Detroit. When I think of cash
tak The reason why I think of it so much
is because of all the college Division IE players that
come out of that school.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's going to be a massive game.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It is going to be massive.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm checked to see if the concessions were being served.
That's all I'm in it for. Like, give me some snacks.
I'll watch whatever sport you'd like me too.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Honestly, as a kid, when I was going to like
football games for my older brother, like the concession stand
was the coolest thing ever. It was like, Oh, I
might get a three foot long piece of licorice popcorn.
I love football. I mean yeah, that's where the love
really begins.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Seven will count Adam Sandler as a massive swifty just
raving about the cruel summer singer while joining the Kelsey
Brothers on the latest episode of New Heights that dropped yesterday.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I said, somebody asked me, who do you get nervous around.
I said, I do get nervous around Taylor Swift because
I don't want to blow it from my kids and
say something stupid.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So I'm just like she means so much to my house.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I met ter say the right thing here and you
being together and you being you guys, you're I mean
at first when you guys first started dating, my guy
was my family.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Like, yes, he's a gentleman.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
And she's having so much fun with her, Like anytime
Taylor's laughing with you, my whole family is like.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
High five and yeah, sounds like Travis working on the
set of The New Happy Gilmour was also a once
in a lifetime experience. It's a great interview West Michigan
Star dot com. You can check it out on our
iHeart app.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I mean when your dad is buddies with the boyfriend
of your you know, muse of your favorite singer of
all time, the biggest singer on the plane took the
girls to the show.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
He took his girl's backstage. He said, Taylor is just nothing,
an absolute gem across the board. This will really interest
sports fans. Netflix once again giving us a new sports
documentary and a trailer just dropping yesterday. This sounds really good.
It's called Starting Five, so it's very similar to Quarterback
(03:18):
if you watched it. It is going to follow the
twenty twenty three twenty four season with some of the
biggest names in the game. Lebron James, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Edwards,
Demonte Sabonis, and Jason Tatum all have been confirmed and
check it out. This comes from producers including the Obamas
(03:40):
and Peyton Manning. Netflix's latest high end sports series launches
October ninth, where all ten forty five minute episodes will
be streaming.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
So pretty cool. Similar to Quarterback, what you'll see is,
you know all the different paths that these players take,
but then Jason Tatum on the Boston Celtics goes all
the way through and wins an NBA champion, and like.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That stuff didn't even matter to me. I love the
behind the scenes. You're gonna see their family life, You're
gonna see personal relationships, You're gonna see how they balance fatherhood.
This is gonna be a big part of Lebron welcoming
his son into the NBA. So again October ninth, because
I know a lot of people are gonna love that. Finally,
a Deadpool actor cracking a pretty risky joke during a
(04:22):
Disney Amusement park skit, something that the folks at Disney
might not be too keen about. A fan captured this
video from Disney California Adventure Park the other day. Just
before a Deadpool battle scene that they do in front
of a studio live audience, an unidentified actor made this
(04:43):
little joke about his late arrival and headed.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
To the big battle Cinderpool. Was late because he had
to read every single page in the terms and conditions
when he signed up for Disney Plus.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, if you haven't been following along, this was not
great for Disney. A man recently suing Disney after his
wife died from a food allergy reaction at a Disney
World Irish pub in Florida last year, and it was
made public because Disney's defense was that when the guy
signed up for a free thirty day trial of Disney Plus,
(05:18):
it included a clause saying any disputes have to go
through arbitration, not the courts. And it was not real
great publicity for Disney and they're kind of trying to
distance themselves from that. So can't imagine there weren't maybe
some managers having a little word with this actor after that.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Happened, But honestly, so on brand for Deadpool. I mean
to say the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Like that all of your celebscoo, but West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Com sometimes does not get a good feeling. Yeah, We'll
always looking at a pipe a little positivity into your
morning feeling good right now in Starlino Fine Points seven,
it's Mack and Schmidty and every parent. We all love
it when our kids get along. I feel like this
mom and dad had to have their hearts melted into
a puddle left seeing what their son did for their
(06:02):
other son. In Norwood, Massachusetts, twelve year old Danny Doherty
started a homemade ice cream stand this year raise money
for his brother's hockey team. The cool thing about it
is this is the Boston Bear Cubs, a hockey team
for players with disabilities, including Danny's brother who has autism.
So really really neat. He's got the ice cream stand
all to raise money for this awesome hockey team that
(06:24):
helps kids with different abilities. And he goes ahead, starts selling,
and then is shut down by the Norward Board of Health.
Do you ever see people get really upset about kids
selling lemonade stands? Same thing happened here. They received a
complaint until they had visited him, and they had to
shut it down. Well, he was determined not to let
(06:45):
that stop him, so he decided to continue by giving
away the ice cream while accepting donations. Apparently that was
an okay way to do it. The story of his
stand quickly got attention around the community, and he was
able to raise one thousand dollars doing this on the
very first day. But that's when things really took off
because other businesses took notice too, and before you know it,
(07:05):
Danny's initiative ended up raising about twenty thousand dollars. Yeah
for this hockey team with players with special needs. The
director and coach of the Boston Bears club bowl away,
saying Danny inspired a whole lot of people to do
good and to be kind and to help us out.
What a cool thing to see.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I think the Kent County Animal Shelter thinks this is
pretty cool. I saw everyone sharing this yesterday. A very
special donation. They said. This wonderful little girl sold lemonade
to raise money for the shelter. Thank you to Abby
and her family for this gift. They posted a hand
written letter in pencil, very nice handwriting, Abby, that reads
(07:45):
dear Kent County Animal Shelter. I had a lemonade stand
and earned eighty dollars plus some change, and my parents
matched it. So over one hundred and sixty dollars are
going to the animals. Maybe you can buy a toy
or something for them. Sincerely, Abby, She's a pretty good
(08:06):
job of spelling, But got to assume that one hundred
and sixty bucks means a whole lot to the animal shelter.
The amount of shares alone have a lot of people
reaching in that pocket to join Abby and donating.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
You know, It's it's a nice way to miracle match,
right if you can throw eighty bucks just like her
parents did.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's so sweet. I've got it up on our Facebook
at Star one oh five seven.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Tezies music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It's the celebrities Goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Well, Taylor Swift may have just wrapped up the European
leg of her Era's tour, but she's not slowing down.
It looks like that long awaited novel will be debuting soon. Yes.
The book titled A Girl Called Girl was written by
the singer when she was only a teenager, following the
(08:56):
story of a mother who wanted a son instead of
a Dog. Taylor says she was only fourteen when she
wrote the story, but it has never seen the light
of day, and the draft was previously thought to actually
be in the care and safety of her parents. While
the star has trademarked the name and writes to her
novel and now fans think we're finally getting it. So
(09:19):
she first secured the rights back in twenty fifteen after
sitting on this book for more than ten years, but
a new trademark now covers merchandise for the book as
well as audio versions. She said that she started writing
the book before her music career really took off, explaining
in twenty twelve, all my friends were back in Pennsylvania,
so I had nothing to do. I had this epiphany,
(09:41):
I'm going to be a novelist and I'm going to
write novels, and that was going to be my career.
Path did a little bit in between there. But according
to sources, she is ready for this book to drop.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I mean put it on the top of the New
York you know bestsellers.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, far now. Absolutely. Michael Keaton is feeling the blockbuster film.
He thought he quote unquote totally sucked in, so he
is at the Venice Film Festival along with the rest
of the Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice cast and sat down with The
New York Times about reuniting with director Tim Burton for
(10:17):
the upcoming sequel, but he said it hasn't always been wonderful.
I love working with Tim so much, but I don't
think we ever really analyzed why we work pretty well together.
We just do. However, I let him down on one
movie and it bugs me to this day. I was
completely clueless on Dumbo. I sucked in Dumbo. That was
(10:40):
that live action Disney Dumbo that came out in twenty nineteen. Now,
Burton didn't necessarily share Keaton's opinion in the op ed,
he said, I don't even know what you're talking about,
but whatever, I never saw Dumbo. A lot of people
thought it was kind of weird, but it's Michael Keatons.
I'm sure it wasn't bad.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah. I don't remember Michael Keaton being bad in it.
I do remember that it was a very dark Dumbo.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, mean Dumbo in general, it's pretty dark. Finally, this
is a huge celebration team USA rugby player Ilona mar
Is continuing to ride the high from her Paris Olympics
posing as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model. The publication
announced the bronze winner is its September digital issue cover model,
(11:23):
sharing the news with a ton of behind the scenes shots.
Alona herself actually sharing this video her friend took of
them celebrating yesterday, and the humor of this is exactly
why everyone loves this woman.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Having a morning over here.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Alona is officially as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
So excited about that. So much to celebrate, but also
much to celebrate for me because my new Dyson vacuum
arrives today.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
So it's getting crazy over here.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
But she has a vacuum.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I mean, it's just I absolutely adore this woman and
it is getting nothing but praise. She's so body positive.
She shows a different kind of healthy body, joining big
names like Angel Reyes and Naomi Osaka who have already
graced the cover.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, that woman is a specimen for Seor Schmitty.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Holy cow, all of your celebscu but West Michigan.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Start ockem back in Schmitty. And you know what, giving
up control is a little bit of what a parent
has to do in your shoe, Schmitty.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I think it's everything a parent has to do right
if your kids become more independent, as hard as it
is and as much as you just want to cling
to them, it's exactly what your job is to do.
Create kids that can go out into the world on
their own and be kind, contributing citizens. And I feel
like this is the first year we're really noticing that
(12:44):
with my son. He's six. He just started first grade
a couple days ago, and we were only three mornings
into the school year when my husband loaded him into
the truck to take him to school, and he said, no,
I would really like to walk on my own. And
it's something that we're eventually going to be doing. We've
been picking him up every day after school to walk
(13:05):
him home and get used to the route. The school's
pretty much in our neighborhood, but it's still like far
enough away that being the mom I am, in the
type a personality that I have, I'm a little nervous, yeah,
but he was just like, no, I want to walk
by myself. I want to go in by myself. I've
memorized the path, I know what's up. And I just
(13:26):
saw this absolute like scream of independence, and I'm going no, no, no, no,
no no, like I don't want to hold your hand
to do all this. And at the same time, I'm going, Okay,
I guess I'm doing everything right because that's exactly what's
supposed to happen. But I feel like it's such a
milestone in parenting when your kid does that first grown
(13:48):
up thing and you're just kind of blindsided where you're going,
oh my gosh, I have a little person, a little
real life person that is like slowly making that journey
to adulthood.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
I mean, it is such a cool feeling for a parent.
But I try and put myself in the shoes of
the six year old boy that we're talking about here,
because in my head, there is nothing cooler then gaining
that little bit of independence from your parents when the
opportunity strugg Oh.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I remember Walkers when we were in school. I was
always so envious, like that's so cool, like you get
to just walk home on your own, and he's got
a group of friends he'll be doing it with. But
it was just I didn't expect it to hit that early.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I think, yeah, I can see that for me. You know,
there's so many different milestones that you'll reach obviously as
your kids continue to get older, and I know a
big one for a lot of parents who can relate
to this is the first time that we left one
of my children home alone.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Oh I haven't gotten there yet.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Such a like a nerve racking and yet absolutely breathtakingly
beautiful feeling of nose.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
It's a total roller coaster of emotion. See, it wasn't
I specifically core memory remember growing up. It was not
being left alone. It was, Oh my gosh, you're twelve
and we trust you to babysit all three of your brothers.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It so loved.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It was the same way when I got my license
at sixteen and my mom handed me a sports schedule
and she said, I'll take your two brothers to baseball
and soccer. You take your other brother to whatever he had.
Like it was just my parents were so thrilled to
have the extra help that it's like there was no
emotion on the side of my mom and dad. They
(15:27):
were like, see, y'all, here's the keys. We'll be back
in about four hours, and I've scheduled everything out.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Beautiful milestones for six.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
One, six, four, five, eight, one, oh five seven seems
like a perfect time, right school is starting and maybe
you've already noticed. Wow, something big happened, the first kind
of grown up thing you've seen from your kids. And
it can make you feel sad, but it can make
you feel really good too.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Well get who this guy is. Of course, the rumor
mill is going to fire right back up. Did Travis
Kelcey buy an engagement ring for Taylor Swift? It is
something that people have been speculating about for months, but
now it's NFL insider Adam Schefter who dropped a very
(16:21):
cooy sounding remark. The reason a lot of people are
paying attention to this Schefter is one of the most
reputable reporters in the sport. He tends to break news
before anyone else, and he also tends to have some
very good inside sources. He tends to be the guy
that tells you what's gonna happen before it even happens,
(16:42):
and then it ends up happening exactly like that. So
he was on ESPN. Here's what he had to say
back to Adam with more news.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Adam's yeah, go ahead, Laura, Laura, Yeah, well, how do
you know that he didn't How do you know that
Travis Kelcey didn't buy an engagement ring? I don't know.
Do you know? Are you going to break some big
news here? I'm just saying you said that he didn't
buy an engagent ring? And I'm just wondering.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
The awkward silence right there speaks volume Schefty.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Do you know something Scheffy America wants to know about?
To make us go viral?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Did was ask a question about how Laura knew he
had engaging That's all I was doing.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
You decide for yourself. I actually cut some of the
long pauses out. He was quiet for like twenty twenty
five seconds between those questions.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Interesting. I mean, how upset would the tmzs and the like,
the gossip reporting sites of the world beat when ESPN
is the one who breaks that storm?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Like, isn't that exactly how Travis Kelsey would want it?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Probably?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, just saying I'm not saying. I'm just saying. Matt
Lower's daughter, the now disgraced former Today's Show host, is
being investigated for a hit and run his twenty year
old daughter Romy allegedly crashed her car into a fence
and then a road sign in the Hamptons. This happened
(18:06):
over the Fourth of July weekend, but the college student
left behind her license plate, which is how local cops
were able to discover this. Multiple sources say the plate
on Romey's jeep Wrangler fell off in the fender bender,
allowing Southampton Town Police to later I d the former
Today host's daughter. She's been issued a summons for leaving
(18:27):
the scene of an accident. On top of this ongoing investigation,
a sources a ticket was issued and a local powerhouse
attorney by the name of Edward Burke Junior is currently
involved in the case and resolving this from miss Lauer
with the courts.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, that's what I was going to say, is that
I'm sure her dad knows a few lawyers from his time.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah. Finally, WNBA's Caitlin Clark making history yet again, breaking
a record yesterday, scoring nineteen points, five rebounds, five assists,
and a three pointer early in the game, breaking the
WNBA's rookie three point record. But not just that, it's
goat meeting goats. Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas. We're both
(19:12):
on hand to witness the record being broken and check
it out in the locker room as the two got
to meet up. Congratulation.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I was so excited. It's like usually the boys will
just pass me at you, but they're so excited that
it's really cool. Simone posting that video saying, once again
everyone watches women's sports.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Do you think that Caitlin was like, so, wait a second,
you got a gold medal. You got a gold medal.
Someone remind me why I wasn't on the uh the
Olympic team this year.

shot of the week to win eight fifteen Battle of
the Sexes here on start last I checked Smitty. I
know it's coming to the end of it, but we're
still in August, right, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, we're still
in August. I think summer officially goes to like the
twentieth or twenty first of September, and yet in my home,
(22:13):
all I smell is November, December, Yeah, October.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You know what, I've got pumpkin spice vibes. Even though
we're sitting in Margarita temperatures. I don't mind it.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I need to know what is the seasonal items you
just cannot resist, because I swear my wife and the
candle situation in my home has reached new points of ridiculousness.
All summer long, I smelled things like the beach fresh laundry,
sandalwood smitty.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I love sandalwood.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
But now, oh, we have made the full blown swish
and it's nothing but pumpkin spice, the smell of evergreens, cranberry, cinnamon, everything,
And I'm sorry, but it was what ninety some on
degrees just earlier this week. I should not be smelling
your pumpkin spicy. We don't go by temperature by date.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Labor Day is in like four days and then summer
is done and we don't get enough of fall, in
my opinion, so started early. I'm gonna be decorating for
Halloween next week. I'm putting out my skeletons. I'm get up.
It just happened to me. When you talk about seasonal
things you are addicted to, yeah, it is decor. I'm
(23:22):
gonna give a warning to all of my target girlies,
do be careful because I went yesterday and guess what
the fall dollar bins have officially been brought out. I
bought five pillows, two candles, three picture frames, and the
super cute thing that's something like autumn has arrived. I
(23:43):
don't even know I'm hanging in my living room. I
cannot turn down discounted autumnal decor.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
That's pretty on uh, that's pretty on par I feel
like you knows as West Michigan's Christmas station. I'd beat
remiss if I didn't bring up all of the people
who literally revolved their lives around their Christmas villages. I
have known so many people in my life that every
vacation they take, anytime they go to uh, anytime you
drive past Bronner's one hundred percent, and they go in
(24:15):
and they buy a new house, a new church, a
new city, a new landscape, something to expand their vast
Christmas village universe.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Smitty, how vast? How vast? Do you think? Is what
you know? Because I will not name one of my
best friends who has three hundred and four pieces of
Christmas village.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I mean, at what point is it r right now?
What point is that it's an obsession? It's not even that.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
But it looks so good, Jared looks really.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Really tell you what. It doesn't look good when you
put it up in August, Jared, don't do that.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Please love it.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Some time point seven. It's Mack and Smithy and this
is a place for positive vibes. Only feeling good right now?
What's going on, Swiddie?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Eminem just proves once again he is such an incredible force,
especially in his home state of Michigan. Granting a wish
till young Stanley. He teamed up with Make a Wish Michigan.
By the way, we only know this because Stanley's caregiver,
Marina posted about it on X yesterday. Eminem never publicizes
(25:26):
these things, but she said it was an absolutely incredible moment,
writing thank you to Make a Wish and Eminem for
granting Stanley's wish. It was the most unforgettable and special
experience ever. Whords cannot express the gratitude I have, along
with Stanley's dad, for the opportunity to make this happen.
The family is from Metro Detroit. Stanley, as it turns out,
(25:48):
was not named after Eminem's song stan Instead, Stanley Cups.
It's really cool and to see how excited Stanley is
in these pictures alongside eminem just shows you the mission
of make a Wish is incredible. I'll put it up
for you on our ex at Star one O five seven.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
All right, schmidde. We all remember that incredibly scary moment
back in January of twenty twenty three on Monday Night
football when Buffalo Bill's player DeMar Hamlin collapsed right there
on the field and miraculously his life was saved because
they had an AED nearby used it on him right
on the field. And after that, he has made it
(26:31):
his mission to make sure that in any of those
circumstances where maybe a student athlete goes into cardiac arrest,
that there are more AED devices out there so that
he can sake his story and make it save lives
of others. So you might remember the NFL Draft earlier
this year, he attended this ceremony at Corner Ballpark with
Governor Gretchen Whitber, and they signed two bipartisan bills ensuring
(26:54):
that all high school coaches are certified in CPR and
for using AEDs in a also require school to have
schools to have a cardiac emergency response plan ready to
go should this ever happen. Well, good news, A follow up.
Two of those devices are going to Grand Rapids public schools,
one to Ottawa Hills High School and the other to
Union High School. And as a matter of fact, Union
(27:17):
High junior Nathan Mayfield had a personal experience with this,
as he shared with Wood TV.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Personally has something to go on with me. I will
I've collapsed him the court one day in practice and we.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Didn't have one of these.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
It really can happen to anyone. So I prayed out
every school it gets one of these, and like take
this type of the stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Series, and it seems that more and more schools are
doing just that, in large part thanks to Damar Hamblin
and his advocacy and that exposure that his scary incident
just showed everybody.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I do a ton of work with the American Heart Association.
Put it on your calendars October fifth, It's the Grand
Rapids Heartwalk and you can help raise money for more
AEDs all around our beautiful state.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Feeling good comes that you couple times a day. Always
want to tell you about something that brings a little
warmth to you, a little positivity to your day. Let's
do it tomorrow, six forty five and nine twenty here
on Star Wars five point seven Mack and Schmidty in
the morning weekday, starting at six am on Star one
oh five point seven
Wakem It gets my day going.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It makes me laugh.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I of it. Mac and Schmitty in the morning on
Star one O five point seven, Oh good morning's ready?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh happy? Almost Friday like.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
That weekend eve around here, as we have dubbed it.
And yes, not only a Friday are we headed into,
but a holiday weekend on deck Schmitty. Yeah, it'll be
nice and after, you know, maybe the first week or
two of school for a lot of kids, maybe I
think that extra break comes in pretty handy, you know
what I mean. Right off the bat, you hit school
going one hundred miles an hour, and then you just
(00:38):
get an extra little bit of time.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
My kids are so disappointed, real I hate that they
have Tomorrow and Monday off. But before we get to
all that, I know a ton of West Michigan is
stoked because high school football takes up. I know my
family's super excited. We're all going to the game and
our homesound of rock Ford tonight. It'll be our first
one and that just screams like fall on its way.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
That's a huge game for rock Fortey.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Huge cast Tech is coming in.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
From Deshroitt Tech from Detroit. When I think of cash
tak The reason why I think of it so much
is because of all the college Division IE players that
come out of that school.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's going to be a massive game.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It is going to be massive.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm checked to see if the concessions were being served.
That's all I'm in it for. Like, give me some snacks.
I'll watch whatever sport you'd like me too.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Honestly, as a kid, when I was going to like
football games for my older brother, like the concession stand
was the coolest thing ever. It was like, Oh, I
might get a three foot long piece of licorice popcorn.
I love football. I mean yeah, that's where the love
really begins.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Seven will count Adam Sandler as a massive swifty just
raving about the cruel summer singer while joining the Kelsey
Brothers on the latest episode of New Heights that dropped yesterday.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I said, somebody asked me, who do you get nervous around.
I said, I do get nervous around Taylor Swift because
I don't want to blow it from my kids and
say something stupid.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So I'm just like she means so much to my house.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I met ter say the right thing here and you
being together and you being you guys, you're I mean
at first when you guys first started dating, my guy
was my family.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Like, yes, he's a gentleman.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
And she's having so much fun with her, Like anytime
Taylor's laughing with you, my whole family is like.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
High five and yeah, sounds like Travis working on the
set of The New Happy Gilmour was also a once
in a lifetime experience. It's a great interview West Michigan
Star dot com. You can check it out on our
iHeart app.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I mean when your dad is buddies with the boyfriend
of your you know, muse of your favorite singer of
all time, the biggest singer on the plane took the
girls to the show.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
He took his girl's backstage. He said, Taylor is just nothing,
an absolute gem across the board. This will really interest
sports fans. Netflix once again giving us a new sports
documentary and a trailer just dropping yesterday. This sounds really good.
It's called Starting Five, so it's very similar to Quarterback
(03:18):
if you watched it. It is going to follow the
twenty twenty three twenty four season with some of the
biggest names in the game. Lebron James, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Edwards,
Demonte Sabonis, and Jason Tatum all have been confirmed and
check it out. This comes from producers including the Obamas
(03:40):
and Peyton Manning. Netflix's latest high end sports series launches
October ninth, where all ten forty five minute episodes will
be streaming.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
So pretty cool. Similar to Quarterback, what you'll see is,
you know all the different paths that these players take,
but then Jason Tatum on the Boston Celtics goes all
the way through and wins an NBA champion, and like.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That stuff didn't even matter to me. I love the
behind the scenes. You're gonna see their family life, You're
gonna see personal relationships, You're gonna see how they balance fatherhood.
This is gonna be a big part of Lebron welcoming
his son into the NBA. So again October ninth, because
I know a lot of people are gonna love that. Finally,
a Deadpool actor cracking a pretty risky joke during a
(04:22):
Disney Amusement park skit, something that the folks at Disney
might not be too keen about. A fan captured this
video from Disney California Adventure Park the other day. Just
before a Deadpool battle scene that they do in front
of a studio live audience, an unidentified actor made this
(04:43):
little joke about his late arrival and headed.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
To the big battle Cinderpool. Was late because he had
to read every single page in the terms and conditions
when he signed up for Disney Plus.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, if you haven't been following along, this was not
great for Disney. A man recently suing Disney after his
wife died from a food allergy reaction at a Disney
World Irish pub in Florida last year, and it was
made public because Disney's defense was that when the guy
signed up for a free thirty day trial of Disney Plus,
(05:18):
it included a clause saying any disputes have to go
through arbitration, not the courts. And it was not real
great publicity for Disney and they're kind of trying to
distance themselves from that. So can't imagine there weren't maybe
some managers having a little word with this actor after that.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Happened, But honestly, so on brand for Deadpool. I mean
to say the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Like that all of your celebscoo, but West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Com sometimes does not get a good feeling. Yeah, We'll
always looking at a pipe a little positivity into your
morning feeling good right now in Starlino Fine Points seven,
it's Mack and Schmidty and every parent. We all love
it when our kids get along. I feel like this
mom and dad had to have their hearts melted into
a puddle left seeing what their son did for their
(06:02):
other son. In Norwood, Massachusetts, twelve year old Danny Doherty
started a homemade ice cream stand this year raise money
for his brother's hockey team. The cool thing about it
is this is the Boston Bear Cubs, a hockey team
for players with disabilities, including Danny's brother who has autism.
So really really neat. He's got the ice cream stand
all to raise money for this awesome hockey team that
(06:24):
helps kids with different abilities. And he goes ahead, starts selling,
and then is shut down by the Norward Board of Health.
Do you ever see people get really upset about kids
selling lemonade stands? Same thing happened here. They received a
complaint until they had visited him, and they had to
shut it down. Well, he was determined not to let
(06:45):
that stop him, so he decided to continue by giving
away the ice cream while accepting donations. Apparently that was
an okay way to do it. The story of his
stand quickly got attention around the community, and he was
able to raise one thousand dollars doing this on the
very first day. But that's when things really took off
because other businesses took notice too, and before you know it,
(07:05):
Danny's initiative ended up raising about twenty thousand dollars. Yeah
for this hockey team with players with special needs. The
director and coach of the Boston Bears club bowl away,
saying Danny inspired a whole lot of people to do
good and to be kind and to help us out.
What a cool thing to see.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I think the Kent County Animal Shelter thinks this is
pretty cool. I saw everyone sharing this yesterday. A very
special donation. They said. This wonderful little girl sold lemonade
to raise money for the shelter. Thank you to Abby
and her family for this gift. They posted a hand
written letter in pencil, very nice handwriting, Abby, that reads
(07:45):
dear Kent County Animal Shelter. I had a lemonade stand
and earned eighty dollars plus some change, and my parents
matched it. So over one hundred and sixty dollars are
going to the animals. Maybe you can buy a toy
or something for them. Sincerely, Abby, She's a pretty good
(08:06):
job of spelling, But got to assume that one hundred
and sixty bucks means a whole lot to the animal shelter.
The amount of shares alone have a lot of people
reaching in that pocket to join Abby and donating.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
You know, It's it's a nice way to miracle match,
right if you can throw eighty bucks just like her
parents did.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's so sweet. I've got it up on our Facebook
at Star one oh five seven.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Tezies music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It's the celebrities Goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Well, Taylor Swift may have just wrapped up the European
leg of her Era's tour, but she's not slowing down.
It looks like that long awaited novel will be debuting soon. Yes.
The book titled A Girl Called Girl was written by
the singer when she was only a teenager, following the
(08:56):
story of a mother who wanted a son instead of
a Dog. Taylor says she was only fourteen when she
wrote the story, but it has never seen the light
of day, and the draft was previously thought to actually
be in the care and safety of her parents. While
the star has trademarked the name and writes to her
novel and now fans think we're finally getting it. So
(09:19):
she first secured the rights back in twenty fifteen after
sitting on this book for more than ten years, but
a new trademark now covers merchandise for the book as
well as audio versions. She said that she started writing
the book before her music career really took off, explaining
in twenty twelve, all my friends were back in Pennsylvania,
so I had nothing to do. I had this epiphany,
(09:41):
I'm going to be a novelist and I'm going to
write novels, and that was going to be my career.
Path did a little bit in between there. But according
to sources, she is ready for this book to drop.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I mean put it on the top of the New
York you know bestsellers.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, far now. Absolutely. Michael Keaton is feeling the blockbuster film.
He thought he quote unquote totally sucked in, so he
is at the Venice Film Festival along with the rest
of the Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice cast and sat down with The
New York Times about reuniting with director Tim Burton for
(10:17):
the upcoming sequel, but he said it hasn't always been wonderful.
I love working with Tim so much, but I don't
think we ever really analyzed why we work pretty well together.
We just do. However, I let him down on one
movie and it bugs me to this day. I was
completely clueless on Dumbo. I sucked in Dumbo. That was
(10:40):
that live action Disney Dumbo that came out in twenty nineteen. Now,
Burton didn't necessarily share Keaton's opinion in the op ed,
he said, I don't even know what you're talking about,
but whatever, I never saw Dumbo. A lot of people
thought it was kind of weird, but it's Michael Keatons.
I'm sure it wasn't bad.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah. I don't remember Michael Keaton being bad in it.
I do remember that it was a very dark Dumbo.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, mean Dumbo in general, it's pretty dark. Finally, this
is a huge celebration team USA rugby player Ilona mar
Is continuing to ride the high from her Paris Olympics
posing as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model. The publication
announced the bronze winner is its September digital issue cover model,
(11:23):
sharing the news with a ton of behind the scenes shots.
Alona herself actually sharing this video her friend took of
them celebrating yesterday, and the humor of this is exactly
why everyone loves this woman.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Having a morning over here.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Alona is officially as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
So excited about that. So much to celebrate, but also
much to celebrate for me because my new Dyson vacuum
arrives today.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
So it's getting crazy over here.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
But she has a vacuum.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I mean, it's just I absolutely adore this woman and
it is getting nothing but praise. She's so body positive.
She shows a different kind of healthy body, joining big
names like Angel Reyes and Naomi Osaka who have already
graced the cover.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, that woman is a specimen for Seor Schmitty.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Holy cow, all of your celebscu but West Michigan.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Start ockem back in Schmitty. And you know what, giving
up control is a little bit of what a parent
has to do in your shoe, Schmitty.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I think it's everything a parent has to do right
if your kids become more independent, as hard as it
is and as much as you just want to cling
to them, it's exactly what your job is to do.
Create kids that can go out into the world on
their own and be kind, contributing citizens. And I feel
like this is the first year we're really noticing that
(12:44):
with my son. He's six. He just started first grade
a couple days ago, and we were only three mornings
into the school year when my husband loaded him into
the truck to take him to school, and he said, no,
I would really like to walk on my own. And
it's something that we're eventually going to be doing. We've
been picking him up every day after school to walk
(13:05):
him home and get used to the route. The school's
pretty much in our neighborhood, but it's still like far
enough away that being the mom I am, in the
type a personality that I have, I'm a little nervous, yeah,
but he was just like, no, I want to walk
by myself. I want to go in by myself. I've
memorized the path, I know what's up. And I just
(13:26):
saw this absolute like scream of independence, and I'm going no, no, no, no,
no no, like I don't want to hold your hand
to do all this. And at the same time, I'm going, Okay,
I guess I'm doing everything right because that's exactly what's
supposed to happen. But I feel like it's such a
milestone in parenting when your kid does that first grown
(13:48):
up thing and you're just kind of blindsided where you're going,
oh my gosh, I have a little person, a little
real life person that is like slowly making that journey
to adulthood.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
I mean, it is such a cool feeling for a parent.
But I try and put myself in the shoes of
the six year old boy that we're talking about here,
because in my head, there is nothing cooler then gaining
that little bit of independence from your parents when the
opportunity strugg Oh.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I remember Walkers when we were in school. I was
always so envious, like that's so cool, like you get
to just walk home on your own, and he's got
a group of friends he'll be doing it with. But
it was just I didn't expect it to hit that early.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I think, yeah, I can see that for me. You know,
there's so many different milestones that you'll reach obviously as
your kids continue to get older, and I know a
big one for a lot of parents who can relate
to this is the first time that we left one
of my children home alone.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Oh I haven't gotten there yet.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Such a like a nerve racking and yet absolutely breathtakingly
beautiful feeling of nose.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
It's a total roller coaster of emotion. See, it wasn't
I specifically core memory remember growing up. It was not
being left alone. It was, Oh my gosh, you're twelve
and we trust you to babysit all three of your brothers.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It so loved.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It was the same way when I got my license
at sixteen and my mom handed me a sports schedule
and she said, I'll take your two brothers to baseball
and soccer. You take your other brother to whatever he had.
Like it was just my parents were so thrilled to
have the extra help that it's like there was no
emotion on the side of my mom and dad. They
(15:27):
were like, see, y'all, here's the keys. We'll be back
in about four hours, and I've scheduled everything out.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Beautiful milestones for six.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
One, six, four, five, eight, one, oh five seven seems
like a perfect time, right school is starting and maybe
you've already noticed. Wow, something big happened, the first kind
of grown up thing you've seen from your kids. And
it can make you feel sad, but it can make
you feel really good too.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Well get who this guy is. Of course, the rumor
mill is going to fire right back up. Did Travis
Kelcey buy an engagement ring for Taylor Swift? It is
something that people have been speculating about for months, but
now it's NFL insider Adam Schefter who dropped a very
(16:21):
cooy sounding remark. The reason a lot of people are
paying attention to this Schefter is one of the most
reputable reporters in the sport. He tends to break news
before anyone else, and he also tends to have some
very good inside sources. He tends to be the guy
that tells you what's gonna happen before it even happens,
(16:42):
and then it ends up happening exactly like that. So
he was on ESPN. Here's what he had to say
back to Adam with more news.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Adam's yeah, go ahead, Laura, Laura, Yeah, well, how do
you know that he didn't How do you know that
Travis Kelcey didn't buy an engagement ring? I don't know.
Do you know? Are you going to break some big
news here? I'm just saying you said that he didn't
buy an engagent ring? And I'm just wondering.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
The awkward silence right there speaks volume Schefty.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Do you know something Scheffy America wants to know about?
To make us go viral?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Did was ask a question about how Laura knew he
had engaging That's all I was doing.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
You decide for yourself. I actually cut some of the
long pauses out. He was quiet for like twenty twenty
five seconds between those questions.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Interesting. I mean, how upset would the tmzs and the like,
the gossip reporting sites of the world beat when ESPN
is the one who breaks that storm?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Like, isn't that exactly how Travis Kelsey would want it?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Probably?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, just saying I'm not saying. I'm just saying. Matt
Lower's daughter, the now disgraced former Today's Show host, is
being investigated for a hit and run his twenty year
old daughter Romy allegedly crashed her car into a fence
and then a road sign in the Hamptons. This happened
(18:06):
over the Fourth of July weekend, but the college student
left behind her license plate, which is how local cops
were able to discover this. Multiple sources say the plate
on Romey's jeep Wrangler fell off in the fender bender,
allowing Southampton Town Police to later I d the former
Today host's daughter. She's been issued a summons for leaving
(18:27):
the scene of an accident. On top of this ongoing investigation,
a sources a ticket was issued and a local powerhouse
attorney by the name of Edward Burke Junior is currently
involved in the case and resolving this from miss Lauer
with the courts.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, that's what I was going to say, is that
I'm sure her dad knows a few lawyers from his time.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah. Finally, WNBA's Caitlin Clark making history yet again, breaking
a record yesterday, scoring nineteen points, five rebounds, five assists,
and a three pointer early in the game, breaking the
WNBA's rookie three point record. But not just that, it's
goat meeting goats. Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas. We're both
(19:12):
on hand to witness the record being broken and check
it out in the locker room as the two got
to meet up. Congratulation.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I was so excited. It's like usually the boys will
just pass me at you, but they're so excited that
it's really cool. Simone posting that video saying, once again
everyone watches women's sports.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Do you think that Caitlin was like, so, wait a second,
you got a gold medal. You got a gold medal.

just cannot resist, because I swear my wife and the
candle situation in my home has reached new points of ridiculousness.
All summer long, I smelled things like the beach fresh laundry,
sandalwood smitty.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I love sandalwood.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
But now, oh, we have made the full blown swish
and it's nothing but pumpkin spice, the smell of evergreens, cranberry, cinnamon, everything,
And I'm sorry, but it was what ninety some on
degrees just earlier this week. I should not be smelling
your pumpkin spicy. We don't go by temperature by date.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Labor Day is in like four days and then summer
is done and we don't get enough of fall, in
my opinion, so started early. I'm gonna be decorating for
Halloween next week. I'm putting out my skeletons. I'm get up.
It just happened to me. When you talk about seasonal
things you are addicted to, yeah, it is decor. I'm
(23:22):
gonna give a warning to all of my target girlies,
do be careful because I went yesterday and guess what
the fall dollar bins have officially been brought out. I
bought five pillows, two candles, three picture frames, and the
super cute thing that's something like autumn has arrived. I
(23:43):
don't even know I'm hanging in my living room. I
cannot turn down discounted autumnal decor.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
That's pretty on uh, that's pretty on par I feel
like you knows as West Michigan's Christmas station. I'd beat
remiss if I didn't bring up all of the people
who literally revolved their lives around their Christmas villages. I
have known so many people in my life that every
vacation they take, anytime they go to uh, anytime you
drive past Bronner's one hundred percent, and they go in
(24:15):
and they buy a new house, a new church, a
new city, a new landscape, something to expand their vast
Christmas village universe.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Smitty, how vast? How vast? Do you think? Is what
you know? Because I will not name one of my
best friends who has three hundred and four pieces of
Christmas village.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I mean, at what point is it r right now?
What point is that it's an obsession? It's not even that.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
But it looks so good, Jared looks really.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Really tell you what. It doesn't look good when you
put it up in August, Jared, don't do that.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Please love it.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Some time point seven. It's Mack and Smithy and this
is a place for positive vibes. Only feeling good right now?
What's going on, Swiddie?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Eminem just proves once again he is such an incredible force,
especially in his home state of Michigan. Granting a wish
till young Stanley. He teamed up with Make a Wish Michigan.
By the way, we only know this because Stanley's caregiver,
Marina posted about it on X yesterday. Eminem never publicizes
(25:26):
these things, but she said it was an absolutely incredible moment,
writing thank you to Make a Wish and Eminem for
granting Stanley's wish. It was the most unforgettable and special
experience ever. Whords cannot express the gratitude I have, along
with Stanley's dad, for the opportunity to make this happen.
The family is from Metro Detroit. Stanley, as it turns out,
(25:48):
was not named after Eminem's song stan Instead, Stanley Cups.
It's really cool and to see how excited Stanley is
in these pictures alongside eminem just shows you the mission
of make a Wish is incredible. I'll put it up
for you on our ex at Star one O five seven.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
All right, schmidde. We all remember that incredibly scary moment
back in January of twenty twenty three on Monday Night
football when Buffalo Bill's player DeMar Hamlin collapsed right there
on the field and miraculously his life was saved because
they had an AED nearby used it on him right
on the field. And after that, he has made it
(26:31):
his mission to make sure that in any of those
circumstances where maybe a student athlete goes into cardiac arrest,
that there are more AED devices out there so that
he can sake his story and make it save lives
of others. So you might remember the NFL Draft earlier
this year, he attended this ceremony at Corner Ballpark with
Governor Gretchen Whitber, and they signed two bipartisan bills ensuring
(26:54):
that all high school coaches are certified in CPR and
for using AEDs in a also require school to have
schools to have a cardiac emergency response plan ready to
go should this ever happen. Well, good news, A follow up.
Two of those devices are going to Grand Rapids public schools,
one to Ottawa Hills High School and the other to
Union High School. And as a matter of fact, Union
(27:17):
High junior Nathan Mayfield had a personal experience with this,
as he shared with Wood TV.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Personally has something to go on with me. I will
I've collapsed him the court one day in practice and we.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Didn't have one of these.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
It really can happen to anyone. So I prayed out
every school it gets one of these, and like take
this type of the stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Series, and it seems that more and more schools are
doing just that, in large part thanks to Damar Hamblin
and his advocacy and that exposure that his scary incident
just showed everybody.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I do a ton of work with the American Heart Association.
Put it on your calendars October fifth, It's the Grand
Rapids Heartwalk and you can help raise money for more
AEDs all around our beautiful state.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Feeling good comes that you couple times a day. Always
want to tell you about something that brings a little
warmth to you, a little positivity to your day. Let's
do it tomorrow, six forty five and nine twenty here
on Star Wars five point seven Mack and Schmidty in
the morning weekday, starting at six am on Star one
