Speaker 1 (00:07):
It gets my day going. It makes me lab I
love it. Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star
One on five point seven, Well, good morning's May, good morning,
welcome into your Tuesday. I'm being another beautiful one too.
On Deck Lots of sunshine, temps back into the low eighties.
But Switty, I did see this. It's the very last
sunset at eight pm or later tonight for the entire year.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Actually, I've impressed. I thought that was last week for us.
I really did. I know it's it's it's happening. It's
getting darker and darker, earlier and earlier. But you know,
it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You know it is what it is is the most
painfully true and the obvious statement that ever given.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I'm already like in the fall. I mean, how many
of us are leaving the door in the morning with
a cashmere sweater only to come out in the afternoon
and realize you should have been in a bathing suit.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
You know, that's where we're at. The weird part for
me is that I can't get back into wearing full
length pants. That's really what it comes down to. Lucky
enough to work at a job we're get to wear
shorts here every day all summer long, and then it
becomes like, Okay, this is what I've been wearing for
four plus months. The idea of going back to full
length give me my friend.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Lewis, you wears shorts and burks all winter.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I don't think I can pull that off.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Faith, you just got to make sure you're strong enough.
It's not that you can't fetch.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Well movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Well, I think I speak for all of us when
we were just exceptionally sad to see the breaking news
yesterday afternoon. James Earld Jones, one of Hollywood's most instantly
recognizable voices and faces big roles in Star Wars and
The Lion King, has passed away. I for my generation,
(01:55):
of course, had to point out my most favorite role
of his.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
You knew Big Ruth, George, I sure did, and he
knew me. He was almost as ready to hear as
I was. I would have broken his record too, but
you yep.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
I used to crop the plate so that strike zone
almost disappeared. Pictures hate that.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
That's the way I played all the time, Baseball was
life and.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I was good at it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The actor's rep says he passed away yesterday morning at
his home in upstate New York, surrounded by family. I mean,
so many accolades for this amazing man who was raised
in northern Michigan right outside of Mannistee. On the shortlist
of EGOT winners, having grabbed two Emmys, a Grammy, an
Honorary Oscar, and three Tony Awards. Big screen roles besides
(02:50):
the Sandlot, including Field of Dreams, Coming to America, The
Hunt for Red October Patriot Games, he was also a
very famous voice on c and for the University of Michigan,
voicing a lot of those hype videos where he was
a student. In addition to the brilliant acting career, James
was also a US Army veteran, serving in the seventy
(03:11):
fifth Rangers Regiment. He was ninety three years old.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I mean, what a life.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
An incredible voice to me, I think of it as
like the narrator of life, right, and it's the voice
that you can consistently hear generation after generation, thing after thing.
It's pretty impressive. I mean, just well and incredible.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
He grew up with a stutter, a very serious, really daughter.
And it was actually his wonderful grandparents that were raising
him on a farm in Dublin, Michigan, which you probably
never even heard of outside of Mannistee that kind of
tossed him into these things. A teacher that said you've
got to read your poetry out loud to me and
the class. It got him over that and gave us
this incredible voice. I'll have more on tributes rolling into
(03:51):
him as we go through the morning. Breaking scoob about
disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein, who is undergoing emergent see heart
surgery today before he is due in court Thursday in
New York City. The Fallen film legend is having very
serious chest pains. According to Riker's Island yesterday, he was
(04:12):
actually rushed into emergency heart surgery. His rep has confirmed
he is not doing great as of right now. Harvey
says he still plans to appear in court on Thursday,
but only will attend if he is well enough to
do so. And finally, Ryan Seacrest, with his big debut
on America's favorite game, that's right, taking the hosting role
(04:36):
for Wheel of Fortune last night.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I still can't believe my luck being here with you
tonight to continue this legacy of this incredible show with
all of you and of course my good friend Vina White.
Hosting Wheel of Fortune is a dream job. I've been
a fan of this show since I was a kid
watching it in Atlanta with my family, and i know
(04:59):
how it is that Wheel has been in your living
rooms for the past forty years, and I'm just so
grateful to be invited in. I also know I've got
some very big shoes to fill, So let's play Wheel
of Fortune.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, the show really leaned into that debut. The first
category was showbiz. The phrase was opening Night. Later on
in the show, there's a first time for everything. The
contestants were pretty excited to see him as well.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
How do you think it's going to go for him?
Do you feel like it will be something that sort
of is a transition where people kind of revolt away
from Seacrest because he's not Pat Sage Jack, and so
they move on. They'll be doing it for the next
twenty years.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Look at anything else he's done. I mean, he did
American Idol for how long while still doing his iHeart Show.
Absolutely all of your celepscoop at West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Com sometimes because I get a good fee lead.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah, let's dive into some positivity to start this day out.
It's feeling good here on starting off five points seven.
Mack and schmiddy with you. This is just a cool
story Schmitty out of New Hampshire doing New Hampshire stuff.
They were doing the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival there in
New Hampshire when there was a lobster roll eating contest
that Christian Moreno was participating in, and they were, you know,
(06:18):
they were deep into these lobster roll Schmitty, complete chaos
on the stage is these guys are pounding massive New
England style lobster roles and that's when Christian started choking.
But lucky for him, somebody spotted him, none other than
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sanunu. All of a sudden sees
a man who is struggling big time, the gentleman.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
At the far end, who I was kind of watching.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Quickly, he took a pause, he was having trouble.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Getting something down.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
I started saying, he's choking, He's joking, And I could
tell people weren't responding, So I just moved forward and
immediately started to kind of jillm the Heimlich.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's right right there on stage, Governor Sanunu is giving
this man the Heimlich maneuver while all these other people
are continuing to enjoy the lobster role eating contest. About
five about five compressions, and all of a sudden, the
lobster chunk comes clear, and Christian didn't skip a beat
at all. Lo and behold.
Speaker 10 (07:16):
The governor was the first one to notice what was
actually happening, kind of like all right, like don't freak out,
You're gonna finish this, Like you're gonna get this out,
and you're gonna keep going. My counter came up to
me and made a joke and was like, oh, like,
I bet nobody else can say that they've gotten a
Heimlich from the governor before. And I looked at him
and was just like that that was the governor.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yes, it was the governor, And yeah, he was so
focused on having those lobster roles continue to go down
Schmidty that he just pressed right through it without ever
thanking or recognizing the man who had just saved his life.
But honestly, the governor was just pretty impressed.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
She went right back to the contest, which I couldn't believe.
He had another seven lobster after that, right down the gullet.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I love it. I did that for one of my
stories on my other morning show, and the best quote
from the governor was, I'm just happy I was paying
attention in high school health classes, no kidding. And it's like, heck, yeah,
all right, A spotlight on football and fatherhood. Okay, you
guys know I'm a Bears fan, but boy has this
been an incredible start to the year for our Detroit Lions.
(08:19):
And if you didn't know, all five of the Lions
starting defensive linemen are dad's nine kids between them, one
more on the way. Penny Sewell, Graham Glasgow, Frank Ragnow,
Kevin Zeitler, and Taylor Decker are of course paid to
protect quarterback Jared Goff, but off the field, dadhood is
(08:40):
just as important. They sat down with The Today Show
yesterday and said just some of the most wonderful things
about family life and how cherished it is to work
with other dads.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
It means a lot because within their own families, individual
families that everyone has.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It really shows how we're all family. They all my
brothers for real.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
Just to have that family atmosphere and to share those
moments together.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
I think it's been so cool to lean on these guys,
and especially our wives lean on their wives, like Lucy's
getting advice from Isabelle and Alley on things that we're
going through. So the community that our wives have developed
has been such a big help for us.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
We're the best at what we do in football, but
for whatever reason, that almost makes these guys the best
at what they do being a dad. And me and
Penay Monday and Wednesday we have swim lessons together with
our kids, so is that right. It's just cool to
see people who are at the top of their craft
and their profession also trying to be at the top
level of being a father and a husband.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's incredible. By the way, four of those five dads
are girl dads. As for grand Glasgow, my favorite parts
bedtime includes about an hour of Bluie and then he
sings his daughter two songs her favorite Unforgettable by Nat
King Cole. It's a really really great watch. I'll post
it up for you on.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Our Facebook Movies, Music and all the Gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
A celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
It was just such sad news to receive yesterday, Hollywood
legend James Earl Jones passing away at the age of
ninety three.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
You in trouble, aren't you?
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Son?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (10:15):
Well that was my stepdad's ball.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I took it without asking. It was saigned by Babe Ruth,
George Sign, George Herman, Ruth, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I take it back. You're not in trouble. You're dead
where you stand.
Speaker 11 (10:33):
A lot.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Just one of our favorites and unbelievable career. He was
an egot winner, having two Emmys, a Grammy, an Honorary
Oscar and three Tony Awards. Big films like Field of Dreams,
Conan the Barbarian, Coming to America, The Hunt for Red October,
and Patriot Games. His rep confirming the news that the
(10:54):
famed actor passed away yesterday morning at his home in
upstate New York, surrounded by family members. Of course, we
cannot forget his role as the voice of Darth Vader
and check this out. He did an interview a few
years ago about how he actually didn't believe that cinematic
moment when they said that he was Luke's father.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
When I first saw the dialogue that said Luke, I
am your father, I said to himself, he's lying. I
wonder how they're going to play that Liaut.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It didn't believe it, but just absolutely phenomenal. Of course,
grew up in northern Michigan, a farm right outside of Manistee.
Outside of his brilliant acting career and time at University
of Michigan, he was a US Army veteran, serving in
the seventy fifth Rangers Regiment. Like I said, ninety three
years old.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Did you see the Empire State Building speaking of Darth Vader?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Just retweeted it stunning.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Very cool. They projected Darth Vader up up onto the
Empire State Building in tribute. Really just so awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It's going to be so many of those that we'll
see today. It's really really sad. Beyonce may have had
one of the biggest country albums of the year, but
not enough to receive a single mom at the CMAS.
The Cowboy Carter album and this hit single, Texas hold
'em were both completely snubbed for the twenty twenty four
(12:18):
CMA Award nominations that were announced yesterday, the Grammy winner
fully shut out. Morgan Wallin had big nominations, grabbing seven
including Entertainer of the Year and Song of the Year,
followed by Chris Stapleton and Cody Johnson. As for Beyonce's dad, Matthew,
he did not have very kind words. He talked about
(12:40):
her performance with the Dixie Chicks back at the twenty
sixteen CMAS, saying her inclusion didn't go over well then either,
saying the CMAS never even apologized. Today, he said she
had one of the biggest country albums of the year,
but the voters are showing it still comes down to
white and black. There's more white people in America. Unfortunately,
(13:00):
they don't vote based on ability and achievements. It's still
sometimes a white and black thing. While he doesn't go
as far as to calling the CMA voters racist, he
does say her snub quote speaks for itself.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, I mean, I think this is just a major
I've missed opportunity by this year. First off, think about like,
if you're trying to grow country music, right, you want
the audience to be larger in general, and you want
to highlight people do it amazing works in your genre.
How do you leave Beyonce out of it?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
This year, by the way, Shabouzi, who's featured on Beyonce's
Country album, he got nominated for Best New Artist and
Single of the Year for Bar Songs. Just a really,
really bad snub by the Cmas. Finally, Sir Ian McKellen
may have been knighted back in nineteen ninety one, but
he is not a fan of the British royal family.
(13:55):
Woo did you see this new interview with the UK's Times,
The lasting the deceased Queen as being quite rude and
quite mad At the end. He talked about his Companion
of Honor medal in two thousand and eight, where apparently
the Queen said he'd been doing this an awfully long time.
Ian replied saying, well, I don't think I've been working
(14:18):
as long as you have. Apparently the Queen didn't love
that quip. According to Sir McKellen, she hit back with
a royal smile in the question does anyone still actually
go to the theater anymore? He said in the interview,
it's pretty bloody rude when you're giving someone a medal
for acting. He also blasted Prince Philip as deeply, deeply
(14:41):
eccentric and deeply unhappy. He said King Charles is sort
of the only thing surviving about the monarchy, even though
he's clearly damaged, and then talked about Prince Harry leaving
the royal duties and said I'm completely on Prince Harry's
side for walking away from that family, but still said
(15:01):
that the Duke of Sussex was probably not bright enough
to make it work. I mean, he is going to
town on this family. I don't know what the UK
is gonna think.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Honestly, I'm surprised that you went after the Queen, you know,
like she seemed untouchable. This a little bit, but man,
I don't mind that at all. Please, By all means
I like a salty brit all the time. By all
means that's the best way to enjoy British humor. I think.
Speaker 12 (15:26):
All right.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
All that interview with your scoop at West Michigan Star
dot com.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Good morning to you, Thanks for hanging with us. It
is Mack and Schmidty and your car. I am always
known to be a mystery, specifically the trunk.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah. That's my claim to fame is that you never
know what is going to be in my trunk at
any given time.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Order in there.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
No, I don't think I'm a hoarder because everything has
a purpose, like there's a reason for everything in it.
And when you know me really well, I'm actually an
exceptionally organized person. So my car is like a very
very weird like mind melt to people, And it's never
the interior of my car. The interior of my car
is pretty good. It's got like an umbrella and then
you know whatever comes along with dirty car seats. But
(16:08):
my trunk is like going into a black hole of stuff.
And yesterday I realized half like half our house from
the move back in January is still in my trunk,
and I'm asking people the weirdest thing that you have
in your car? Because we get done with all of
our running around yesterday about four point thirty and my
(16:30):
husband Chris and I are talking. He said, Hey, why
don't you just throw one of the frozen pizzas I
got from Costco in the oven. It'll be easy for
the kids. Then we can like do bedtime. We've had
a crazy day. Perfect, So I get out this frozen
pizza and anybody knows pizza is infinitely leveled up if
you have a pizza stone, Oh, definitely, which we do.
I just had not seen it in eight months. Guess
why been riding around with a full blowne pizza stone
(16:53):
in my trunk And I was like, yeah, wonder and
I pop it open. You guys, I realize there's still
two boxes of stuff in there. I don't know what's
in them because I just ignored it and didn't look up.
My daughter's bead making kid from her birthday in April
unopened in my trunk. The pizza stone was underneath Christmas
decorations that were also in the trunk of my car.
(17:15):
And I'm trying to like pull the pizza stone out
really fast because I don't want Chris to see. And
he rounds the corner and he's like, unbelievable. And I
was like, what it's think about it if we were
ever in some kind of accident. He goes, what are
you gonna do with the pizza stone? I so well,
if it's the middle of summer, it's gonna heat up
by the sun and we'll be able to make food
and not die. He's like, that doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
If they could fit one of those into the little
roadside emergency kits. I'm sure they would spitting.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I'm sure, and he's like, this is you have got
to ask people. Nobody has a weirder trunk than you.
This was after a clean out before we moved, where
I had champagne flutes in there. I had a full
kitchen set. I had like half my kid's basement toys.
That's like before we were even moving. There was absolutely
(18:01):
no reason for that to be. I had a sled.
I had a sled in my car all year last year.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Five gets a stone bead making kid. I got it
all going on in here.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
But again, talk to me about it. I'd be like,
if I broke down at Sleeping Bear Dunes, I'd be
able to ride my sled down for a.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Water source, you know, if I was still driving a car,
not an suv. I feel like you can take a
trunk and make it out of sight, out of mind
really easily, right, Like you just trapp stuff in there,
set it and forget it. Kind of with the suv though.
The weirdest thing in my car right now, Schmidty, I
have been driving around for two plus weeks with two
and a half gallons of vegetable oil I'm supposed to
(18:39):
return to Costco. I've been driving around with the receipt
and these gigantic tubs of vegetable oil that were the
wrong quiet kind of according to my life.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
And are they still sealed? Because if that does spell,
that's quite clean.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Oh it's gonna be. I have already more than once
had that panic attack of like took a turn too
sharply and then just heard it smack across the other
side of the vehicle.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Or someone were oh god, oh god, someone rear ends you.
And then I'm doing the big Bie Coffee traffic report
and for some reason, there's vegetable all over one thirty.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Guns click roads everywhere, folks. Smells like French fries down here.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I mean, I put this on our Facebook. Aaron, thank
you very much. She's driving around with a small portable
mini vacuum, a zero gravity chair and a fan which
sounds to me like a summer VCA. Kristen has rodent
repellent pouches. A few months ago, a mouse popped out
from the space between my dash and windshield while I
was driving a skill saw wire and brand clippers for
(19:34):
Danielle girl. I feel like you just wait for another
bad storm to roll through, and you've got a business,
but you're prepared.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
You can help out consumers. Jim, Oh, salty, let's let
the air out of the balloon before burd shall we
salty schmitty right now and starting a five points yevna
that you mentioned political mailer Schmitty. Yeah, nobody's gonna disagree
with you.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Everybody is salty about this. I for one, come at me.
I'm a millennial, so maybe I'm wrong. I just I
don't know if mailers work anymore for this, Like are
you guys getting those giant postcards in the mail And
then you're going, oh my gosh, that is completely changing
the way that I'm going to voles. But I feel
(20:15):
so bad for the trees. Like yesterday was a record.
I went and got the mail yesterday. I had nine
political mailers. And here's the thing. If you line them
all up, you know, one from the left, one from
the right, do you guys realize they all are saying
the same things. Yeah, they're like, hey, this person is
(20:36):
against this. But then it's like, oh, but they're they're
against it too. Well they did this, Oh but they
also did it Like it was the wildest thing to me,
and I'm just like, I'm so sorry. I love democracy
and living in America and the right to vote, but
if I could unsubscribe somehow through the postal service, I
(20:57):
also don't want my lovely postal woman. I have to
carry all that stuff, honey. It's going right in my
recycling bin anyway.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Really, So sulky pro tip for Isshmandy, they make excellent
enkindling for your solo stove your fire pits. Just go
ahead and toss those bad boys right now.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Now, movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's the celebritiescoop. On Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, sharing a very optimistic
update about her cancer battle, officially saying she has ended
her chemo therapy treatment but the journey is still ongoing,
sharing a three minute video with people yesterday on her social.
Speaker 11 (21:42):
Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now
my focus. So I have finished chemotherapy, my path to
healing and full recovery is long and I must continue
to take each day as it comes. I am, however,
looking forward to being back work and under taking a
few more public engagements in the coming months when I
(22:04):
can now.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
The Palace refused to officially comment or confirm on whether
the Princess is officially cancer free, but she did have
this to say to those still battling the disease.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
To all those who are continuing their own kinds of journey,
I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand.
Out of darkness can come light, So let that light
shine right.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Really sweet video. She talks a lot about family and
how perspective changing this diagnosis has been. Her first public
appearance this year was at Trooping the Color back in June,
and as you heard her say, she is hoping for
a couple more engagements at least before the end of
the year, but it is going to be a day
to day basis.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Did you find that video a little weird? I just
think it was what it seems like, over the top.
It felt like a documentary style almost. It's just I
don't know, I.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Guess I kind of wouldn't expect anything different coming from
the royal family in the Cambridge house like that tends
to be. How I mean, you look at her family
photos and things like that, everything's very polished and professional,
and I actually kind of looked at it as something
they did and hired someone to help them do so
they kind of had it for their family. I loved Anthony.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I guess it lacked authenticity to me. It felt like
a very produced thing.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
All right.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Selena Gomez opening up about the lasting impact of her
health issues, confirming for the first time she is not
able to carry her own children. The actress getting very
vulnerable in a new cover story in Vanity Fair, she
is the cover model for this month, admitting she learned
a very hard truth a while ago, and it's been
(23:44):
something she's been grappling with. Of course, she has been
battling lupus for the last ten years, sharing, unfortunately, I
have a lot of medical issues that would put my
life and the babies in jeopardy. Was something that I've
had to grieve for quite a while, she says, now
she has accepted her reality, admitting she's considering surrogacy or
(24:05):
even adoption in the future, continuing, it may be really
thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying
to be moms. I'm one of those people. I'm excited
for what that journey will look like, but it will
definitely look a little different. She's been asked a lot
of questions about children, only just recently saying she has
a very big interest in having kids, and then of
(24:28):
course her boyfriend possibly fiance if you believe it. Benny
Blanco admitted back in May having kids would really be
the next goal and the next box he wants checked.
So probably a conversation the two of them have been
having for.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
A while, whether it's mental health, body body issues, Costy yeah,
anything like that. I mean, I can't think of a
bigger celebrity that's done so much more of it in public,
in front of her fans, in front of anybody else in.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
The Lady Lena Yeah. And finally, I heart radio host
of the Breakfast Club Charlemagne the Gods said few words
that might have the Swifties a little less than impressed.
On their show yesterday, the crew was talking about the
big selection for the Super Bowl halftime show being Kendrick Lamar.
They were talking about some of that backlash that Lil
(25:15):
Wayne wasn't chosen since the halftime show is going down
in New Orleans, where he is from. When Charlemagne made
this comment and all of.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Y'all upset, just remember one thing that we all can
collectively be happy about in the culture.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Just be happy.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
We didn't get Taylor Swift thank your Honestly, he's the
best at presenting those things. And he had a few
comments Wayne for him on his internet.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah, don't rattle the Swifties. Okay, they're very easily agitating.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I don't know if somebody can handle it. It's Charlemagne
to God. You can hear the entire interview and all
of your scoop at West Michigan Star dot com selling.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
A fine point savin, a smack and schmidty and let's
throw down at his Battle of the Sexy time and
your shot to get out some awesome, high flying and
glowing the dark family fun.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
It's hot Wheels Monster Trucks live just a few days
away before it is here taken over Banandelerina. We have
got your tickets. With the number one answer, one hundred
women surveyed, name an animal you wish didn't exist.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Oh this is so easy for me. Moles. I wish
moles didn't exist.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
They served no parare in the mole war right now?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Are it is? I actually was winning the war up
until a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm losing
bathosts what.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
They want you to think. It's a false sense of security.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
It was they lulled me, schmidty. They lulled me.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Not that I'm inviting this kerma in, but I would
take an entire colony of moles over a single gardener. Snake. Well, yep, nope.
I want nothing that slithers around and doesn't have feet
and can still do so much damage. I don't. I
went to private school. I learned God created any every
animal for a reason. I don't get you, snakes. I don't.
Six one, six, four, five, eight, one oh five seven.
(26:57):
One hundred women surveyed. Name an animal you wish didn't exist.
Caller seven. First chance at the number one answer, and
you've got your week. Guest plans at Hot Wheels, Monster Trucks,
Live Globe Aarty with Star one L five point seven.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Good morning Star. Who's this? You said? Tristan? Yep, hey, Tristan,
are you doing today? Good? Hold you, bud.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I'm eleven eleven.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
So does that make you a sixth grader this year?
Speaker 11 (27:27):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Awesome. Shout out your school, buddy, Thanks, shout out your school.
Tis all right, Northern Trails. Let's see if one of
your finests can win some hot Wheels Monster Truck Live tickets. Tristan.
One hundred women were asked to name an animal you
wish didn't exist, and I'm gonna give you a hint. Okay,
I'm gonna give you a hint. It's an animal that
(27:48):
we're irritated by right now, but won't have to be
irritated by them in just a couple of months.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
All Right, I'm.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Just gonna think that is the most annoying thing.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
I'm guessing all you're just thinking of the most annoying
thing buzzing around, biting you on your knuckles or on
the bone of your heel, or any of those other
terrible spots.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Mosquitos is the top answer, Tristan. You've got hot wheels
of monster trucks live, sir, way to go, Thank you,
you are very welcome. Yeah it was Mosquitos, followed by snakes,
then rats, and then skunks, rounding out those top answers.
But Tristan, you've got your tickets for hot wheels, my friend.
Thank you, you're very welcome. Let's do it again tomorrow.
(28:33):
Hopefully you'll do as good as Tristan did today and
score these tickets. For you and your crew. We'll do
it at eight fifteen. Battle of the Sexes here on
stock Good morning to you, Smackage Schwinny of both a
couple of parents who are not afraid to lie to
our children when it's convenient to us at all, not
one bit, and you know we're in good company. Schmidty
former NFL player, Not Jason Kelsey. I always want to say, Travis,
(28:58):
I can't get.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
That better, brother, Jason Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I agree with you, the one not dating Taylor Swift.
Jason is not afraid of lie to his kids either,
and on their New Heights podcast, Mitty he had this
very particular lie to avoid having to get a cat
for his daughters.
Speaker 12 (29:12):
You know what my latest plan to divert our family
from getting a cat is. I just keep telling our
girls that cats are poisonous.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
What would you tell them that so that.
Speaker 12 (29:23):
They don't want cats and I don't have to deal
with having a cat and make them terrified, they'll figure
it out.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I like this, Savis went on, and he's like, so
when they go over to a friend's house and see
a cat, do they just scream bloody murder because it's
going to kill them? And Jason's like, that sounds like
another person's problem.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Do you think Travis is not? Is?
Speaker 10 (29:42):
You know?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
He's like, that's sick, it's disgusting. Is that because he
knows what a cat person his girlfriend is and wants
to avoid that.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
You guys are going to come over to my house
and there's going to be a ton of cats.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
So I wanted to know what is the line you
have told your kids to avoid having to buy them
something take them someplace, because a couple of years ago
we had gotten season passes for Michigan's Adventure for our
kids when we were there, and so they wanted to
go all the time, every weekend, every day during the
summer at well, like can we go to Michigan Inventure?
(30:13):
Can we go to Michigan Venture? And no, we don't
want to go to Michigan Venture every day. It's too much.
And eventually, instead of saying no every day, we started
to come up with excuses as to why we couldn't.
And I took screenshots on a busy Saturday of extended
lines where it would say the line for certain rides
was like an hour and ten minutes, all this stuff,
(30:33):
and I go, yeah, you know, let's check it out.
Let's see how it's looking today. Guys. Oh, man, an
hour and a half. Wait, you guys don't want to
stand in line for an hour and a half. We
should go on a slower day. Yeah, let's go on
a slower day. Dad, Okay, Like, I have no shame in.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
That I'm the same thing, and I know a lot
of you are gonna hate on me for this, but
sometimes it's just annoying for me to have to watch
my kids play outside. Like if there's a ton of
neighbor kids around, I feel like I have to obviously
be the adult and supervise. So sometimes when my kids
are like, can we go back outside? I show them
a weather radar of someplace that is not Michigan but
(31:07):
covered in rain, because my six year old is obsessed
with weather, and I go, oh, I don't know, buddy,
let's zoom in. Wow, look at that radar's like it does.
It's really sunny, there's no clouds. I go, oh, it's Michigan.
Change in a second. Why don't we read some books
inside and just hang under the ceiling fan.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
You know you'll be outside playing next thing. You know,
you can get sucked up into a twister. Buddy, you
saw that mountain therapy.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
And again, as Jason Kelsey said, that sounds like somebody
else's problem.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
What's the lie you've told your kids to get out
of doing or buying them stuffing? Right, We've got to
go it on Facebook right now. A's West Michigan Star
get a good. Well, let's make a beautiful day even nicer?
Shall we feeling good right now? And starting on five
point seven? That's Mack and Schmidty.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I mean when you talk about the fact that teachers
should definitely get paid more, it's hilarious moments like these.
In a post that has gone a teacher shares a
video saying, while the kids were at gym, my code
teacher and I were working silently on our computers when
we heard scratching sounds over and over and over again.
(32:12):
So we went to investigate the backpacks of it.
Speaker 13 (32:17):
I going, hear you, I think it's a live turtle.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
No.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I look in the back part of his backpack and
the very back, in the very back.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
He brought a line turtle turtle.
Speaker 13 (32:39):
Oh my god, the poor thing.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
Why is it in there?
Speaker 13 (32:43):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
When you're sitting with your coworker getting some work done,
and you hear some clawing in a backpack. Yep, one
of those kids, in his first week back to school,
just couldn't quite be parted from his best friend. And
they opened up that back pocket. Right next to the
pencil case was a little pet turtle desperately trying to
get out.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Do you think that there were some probably half eaten
lunches down there for the turtle to snack on at
least while.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
It was terrified like I did not sign up for this,
And the teachers, being the incredible humans that they are,
took care of this thing and made sure the child
had a little conversation about what we do and don't
bring to school.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
That's awesome, all right, schmitty. Speaking of school, were you
a math kid? Were you good at that? Do you
remember the Pythagorean theorem? I do here? What is it?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Is it? A squared plus B squared equals c square?
Here you go, somebody to put that into practice.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Eighth or ninth grade geometry algebra? Wherever you learned that?
Of course, it is one of the most famous mathematical
equations of all time. However, it has also been unprovable
through any other means except for itself, okay, which is
in math world, apparently something that does not give it
a final proof of trueness. It's been two thousand years
(34:00):
Pythagorean theorem was actually first brought to the forefront, and
since then mathematicians have been trying to prove it using
other forms of mathematics. Well, last year, two high school
students actually made that two thousand plus year breakthrough. Calcia
Johnson and Nakia Jackson from Saint Mary's Academy in New
Orleans actually solved the Pythagorean theoreum using trigonometry. They followed
(34:25):
up on this two thousand year old conundrum where they
presented findings of the law of signs which say they
proved this fundamental truths in trigonometry without relying on the
equations themselves as evident. So all of that means that
essentially they were able to do something that mathematicians have
been trying to do for the Pythagorean theorem for two
thousand years. Actually got featured on Sixty Minutes because of
(34:47):
this incredible breakthrough. Who's watching Schmidty none other than NBA
Legends and the World's Ugliest Golf Swing Charles Barkley is
watching this unfold on sixty minutes and just announce the
other day because of these two girls and their incredible accomplishment,
he's given that school a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Listen, I was terrible at math. It's not my thing.
But please, ladies, we need you in stem. We really
do for moments just like this.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
So cool to see it. He has donated one hundred
grand every year for the next ten years for that school,
who says it will be transformative for the school again
at Saint Mary's Academy in Inner City, New Orleans. So
really cool of Barkley to step off about something you'd
never expect him to be connected to whatsoever. Feel like
it comes out to you a couple times a day.
I always want to tell you about crazy things and
(35:34):
really great things that are happening in our world. Let's
do it again tomorrow at six forty five and nine
swany here on Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning
weekdays starting at six am on Star one oh five
point seven
It gets my day going. It makes me lab I
love it. Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star
One on five point seven, Well, good morning's May, good morning,
welcome into your Tuesday. I'm being another beautiful one too.
On Deck Lots of sunshine, temps back into the low eighties.
But Switty, I did see this. It's the very last
sunset at eight pm or later tonight for the entire year.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Actually, I've impressed. I thought that was last week for us.
I really did. I know it's it's it's happening. It's
getting darker and darker, earlier and earlier. But you know,
it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You know it is what it is is the most
painfully true and the obvious statement that ever given.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I'm already like in the fall. I mean, how many
of us are leaving the door in the morning with
a cashmere sweater only to come out in the afternoon
and realize you should have been in a bathing suit.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
You know, that's where we're at. The weird part for
me is that I can't get back into wearing full
length pants. That's really what it comes down to. Lucky
enough to work at a job we're get to wear
shorts here every day all summer long, and then it
becomes like, Okay, this is what I've been wearing for
four plus months. The idea of going back to full
length give me my friend.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Lewis, you wears shorts and burks all winter.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I don't think I can pull that off.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Faith, you just got to make sure you're strong enough.
It's not that you can't fetch.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Well movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Well, I think I speak for all of us when
we were just exceptionally sad to see the breaking news
yesterday afternoon. James Earld Jones, one of Hollywood's most instantly
recognizable voices and faces big roles in Star Wars and
The Lion King, has passed away. I for my generation,
(01:55):
of course, had to point out my most favorite role
of his.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
You knew Big Ruth, George, I sure did, and he
knew me. He was almost as ready to hear as
I was. I would have broken his record too, but
you yep.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
I used to crop the plate so that strike zone
almost disappeared. Pictures hate that.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
That's the way I played all the time, Baseball was
life and.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I was good at it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The actor's rep says he passed away yesterday morning at
his home in upstate New York, surrounded by family. I mean,
so many accolades for this amazing man who was raised
in northern Michigan right outside of Mannistee. On the shortlist
of EGOT winners, having grabbed two Emmys, a Grammy, an
Honorary Oscar, and three Tony Awards. Big screen roles besides
(02:50):
the Sandlot, including Field of Dreams, Coming to America, The
Hunt for Red October Patriot Games, he was also a
very famous voice on c and for the University of Michigan,
voicing a lot of those hype videos where he was
a student. In addition to the brilliant acting career, James
was also a US Army veteran, serving in the seventy
(03:11):
fifth Rangers Regiment. He was ninety three years old.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I mean, what a life.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
An incredible voice to me, I think of it as
like the narrator of life, right, and it's the voice
that you can consistently hear generation after generation, thing after thing.
It's pretty impressive. I mean, just well and incredible.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
He grew up with a stutter, a very serious, really daughter.
And it was actually his wonderful grandparents that were raising
him on a farm in Dublin, Michigan, which you probably
never even heard of outside of Mannistee that kind of
tossed him into these things. A teacher that said you've
got to read your poetry out loud to me and
the class. It got him over that and gave us
this incredible voice. I'll have more on tributes rolling into
(03:51):
him as we go through the morning. Breaking scoob about
disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein, who is undergoing emergent see heart
surgery today before he is due in court Thursday in
New York City. The Fallen film legend is having very
serious chest pains. According to Riker's Island yesterday, he was
(04:12):
actually rushed into emergency heart surgery. His rep has confirmed
he is not doing great as of right now. Harvey
says he still plans to appear in court on Thursday,
but only will attend if he is well enough to
do so. And finally, Ryan Seacrest, with his big debut
on America's favorite game, that's right, taking the hosting role
(04:36):
for Wheel of Fortune last night.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I still can't believe my luck being here with you
tonight to continue this legacy of this incredible show with
all of you and of course my good friend Vina White.
Hosting Wheel of Fortune is a dream job. I've been
a fan of this show since I was a kid
watching it in Atlanta with my family, and i know
(04:59):
how it is that Wheel has been in your living
rooms for the past forty years, and I'm just so
grateful to be invited in. I also know I've got
some very big shoes to fill, So let's play Wheel
of Fortune.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, the show really leaned into that debut. The first
category was showbiz. The phrase was opening Night. Later on
in the show, there's a first time for everything. The
contestants were pretty excited to see him as well.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
How do you think it's going to go for him?
Do you feel like it will be something that sort
of is a transition where people kind of revolt away
from Seacrest because he's not Pat Sage Jack, and so
they move on. They'll be doing it for the next
twenty years.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Look at anything else he's done. I mean, he did
American Idol for how long while still doing his iHeart Show.
Absolutely all of your celepscoop at West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Com sometimes because I get a good fee lead.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah, let's dive into some positivity to start this day out.
It's feeling good here on starting off five points seven.
Mack and schmiddy with you. This is just a cool
story Schmitty out of New Hampshire doing New Hampshire stuff.
They were doing the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival there in
New Hampshire when there was a lobster roll eating contest
that Christian Moreno was participating in, and they were, you know,
(06:18):
they were deep into these lobster roll Schmitty, complete chaos
on the stage is these guys are pounding massive New
England style lobster roles and that's when Christian started choking.
But lucky for him, somebody spotted him, none other than
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sanunu. All of a sudden sees
a man who is struggling big time, the gentleman.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
At the far end, who I was kind of watching.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Quickly, he took a pause, he was having trouble.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Getting something down.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
I started saying, he's choking, He's joking, And I could
tell people weren't responding, So I just moved forward and
immediately started to kind of jillm the Heimlich.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's right right there on stage, Governor Sanunu is giving
this man the Heimlich maneuver while all these other people
are continuing to enjoy the lobster role eating contest. About
five about five compressions, and all of a sudden, the
lobster chunk comes clear, and Christian didn't skip a beat
at all. Lo and behold.
Speaker 10 (07:16):
The governor was the first one to notice what was
actually happening, kind of like all right, like don't freak out,
You're gonna finish this, Like you're gonna get this out,
and you're gonna keep going. My counter came up to
me and made a joke and was like, oh, like,
I bet nobody else can say that they've gotten a
Heimlich from the governor before. And I looked at him
and was just like that that was the governor.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yes, it was the governor, And yeah, he was so
focused on having those lobster roles continue to go down
Schmidty that he just pressed right through it without ever
thanking or recognizing the man who had just saved his life.
But honestly, the governor was just pretty impressed.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
She went right back to the contest, which I couldn't believe.
He had another seven lobster after that, right down the gullet.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I love it. I did that for one of my
stories on my other morning show, and the best quote
from the governor was, I'm just happy I was paying
attention in high school health classes, no kidding. And it's like, heck, yeah,
all right, A spotlight on football and fatherhood. Okay, you
guys know I'm a Bears fan, but boy has this
been an incredible start to the year for our Detroit Lions.
(08:19):
And if you didn't know, all five of the Lions
starting defensive linemen are dad's nine kids between them, one
more on the way. Penny Sewell, Graham Glasgow, Frank Ragnow,
Kevin Zeitler, and Taylor Decker are of course paid to
protect quarterback Jared Goff, but off the field, dadhood is
(08:40):
just as important. They sat down with The Today Show
yesterday and said just some of the most wonderful things
about family life and how cherished it is to work
with other dads.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
It means a lot because within their own families, individual
families that everyone has.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It really shows how we're all family. They all my
brothers for real.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
Just to have that family atmosphere and to share those
moments together.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
I think it's been so cool to lean on these guys,
and especially our wives lean on their wives, like Lucy's
getting advice from Isabelle and Alley on things that we're
going through. So the community that our wives have developed
has been such a big help for us.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
We're the best at what we do in football, but
for whatever reason, that almost makes these guys the best
at what they do being a dad. And me and
Penay Monday and Wednesday we have swim lessons together with
our kids, so is that right. It's just cool to
see people who are at the top of their craft
and their profession also trying to be at the top
level of being a father and a husband.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's incredible. By the way, four of those five dads
are girl dads. As for grand Glasgow, my favorite parts
bedtime includes about an hour of Bluie and then he
sings his daughter two songs her favorite Unforgettable by Nat
King Cole. It's a really really great watch. I'll post
it up for you on.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Our Facebook Movies, Music and all the Gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
A celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
It was just such sad news to receive yesterday, Hollywood
legend James Earl Jones passing away at the age of
ninety three.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
You in trouble, aren't you?
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Son?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (10:15):
Well that was my stepdad's ball.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I took it without asking. It was saigned by Babe Ruth,
George Sign, George Herman, Ruth, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I take it back. You're not in trouble. You're dead
where you stand.
Speaker 11 (10:33):
A lot.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Just one of our favorites and unbelievable career. He was
an egot winner, having two Emmys, a Grammy, an Honorary
Oscar and three Tony Awards. Big films like Field of Dreams,
Conan the Barbarian, Coming to America, The Hunt for Red October,
and Patriot Games. His rep confirming the news that the
(10:54):
famed actor passed away yesterday morning at his home in
upstate New York, surrounded by family members. Of course, we
cannot forget his role as the voice of Darth Vader
and check this out. He did an interview a few
years ago about how he actually didn't believe that cinematic
moment when they said that he was Luke's father.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
When I first saw the dialogue that said Luke, I
am your father, I said to himself, he's lying. I
wonder how they're going to play that Liaut.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It didn't believe it, but just absolutely phenomenal. Of course,
grew up in northern Michigan, a farm right outside of Manistee.
Outside of his brilliant acting career and time at University
of Michigan, he was a US Army veteran, serving in
the seventy fifth Rangers Regiment. Like I said, ninety three
years old.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Did you see the Empire State Building speaking of Darth Vader?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Just retweeted it stunning.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Very cool. They projected Darth Vader up up onto the
Empire State Building in tribute. Really just so awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It's going to be so many of those that we'll
see today. It's really really sad. Beyonce may have had
one of the biggest country albums of the year, but
not enough to receive a single mom at the CMAS.
The Cowboy Carter album and this hit single, Texas hold
'em were both completely snubbed for the twenty twenty four
(12:18):
CMA Award nominations that were announced yesterday, the Grammy winner
fully shut out. Morgan Wallin had big nominations, grabbing seven
including Entertainer of the Year and Song of the Year,
followed by Chris Stapleton and Cody Johnson. As for Beyonce's dad, Matthew,
he did not have very kind words. He talked about
(12:40):
her performance with the Dixie Chicks back at the twenty
sixteen CMAS, saying her inclusion didn't go over well then either,
saying the CMAS never even apologized. Today, he said she
had one of the biggest country albums of the year,
but the voters are showing it still comes down to
white and black. There's more white people in America. Unfortunately,
(13:00):
they don't vote based on ability and achievements. It's still
sometimes a white and black thing. While he doesn't go
as far as to calling the CMA voters racist, he
does say her snub quote speaks for itself.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, I mean, I think this is just a major
I've missed opportunity by this year. First off, think about like,
if you're trying to grow country music, right, you want
the audience to be larger in general, and you want
to highlight people do it amazing works in your genre.
How do you leave Beyonce out of it?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
This year, by the way, Shabouzi, who's featured on Beyonce's
Country album, he got nominated for Best New Artist and
Single of the Year for Bar Songs. Just a really,
really bad snub by the Cmas. Finally, Sir Ian McKellen
may have been knighted back in nineteen ninety one, but
he is not a fan of the British royal family.
(13:55):
Woo did you see this new interview with the UK's Times,
The lasting the deceased Queen as being quite rude and
quite mad At the end. He talked about his Companion
of Honor medal in two thousand and eight, where apparently
the Queen said he'd been doing this an awfully long time.
Ian replied saying, well, I don't think I've been working
(14:18):
as long as you have. Apparently the Queen didn't love
that quip. According to Sir McKellen, she hit back with
a royal smile in the question does anyone still actually
go to the theater anymore? He said in the interview,
it's pretty bloody rude when you're giving someone a medal
for acting. He also blasted Prince Philip as deeply, deeply
(14:41):
eccentric and deeply unhappy. He said King Charles is sort
of the only thing surviving about the monarchy, even though
he's clearly damaged, and then talked about Prince Harry leaving
the royal duties and said I'm completely on Prince Harry's
side for walking away from that family, but still said
(15:01):
that the Duke of Sussex was probably not bright enough
to make it work. I mean, he is going to
town on this family. I don't know what the UK
is gonna think.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Honestly, I'm surprised that you went after the Queen, you know,
like she seemed untouchable. This a little bit, but man,
I don't mind that at all. Please, By all means
I like a salty brit all the time. By all
means that's the best way to enjoy British humor. I think.
Speaker 12 (15:26):
All right.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
All that interview with your scoop at West Michigan Star
dot com.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Good morning to you, Thanks for hanging with us. It
is Mack and Schmidty and your car. I am always
known to be a mystery, specifically the trunk.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah. That's my claim to fame is that you never
know what is going to be in my trunk at
any given time.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Order in there.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
No, I don't think I'm a hoarder because everything has
a purpose, like there's a reason for everything in it.
And when you know me really well, I'm actually an
exceptionally organized person. So my car is like a very
very weird like mind melt to people, And it's never
the interior of my car. The interior of my car
is pretty good. It's got like an umbrella and then
you know whatever comes along with dirty car seats. But
(16:08):
my trunk is like going into a black hole of stuff.
And yesterday I realized half like half our house from
the move back in January is still in my trunk,
and I'm asking people the weirdest thing that you have
in your car? Because we get done with all of
our running around yesterday about four point thirty and my
(16:30):
husband Chris and I are talking. He said, Hey, why
don't you just throw one of the frozen pizzas I
got from Costco in the oven. It'll be easy for
the kids. Then we can like do bedtime. We've had
a crazy day. Perfect, So I get out this frozen
pizza and anybody knows pizza is infinitely leveled up if
you have a pizza stone, Oh, definitely, which we do.
I just had not seen it in eight months. Guess
why been riding around with a full blowne pizza stone
(16:53):
in my trunk And I was like, yeah, wonder and
I pop it open. You guys, I realize there's still
two boxes of stuff in there. I don't know what's
in them because I just ignored it and didn't look up.
My daughter's bead making kid from her birthday in April
unopened in my trunk. The pizza stone was underneath Christmas
decorations that were also in the trunk of my car.
(17:15):
And I'm trying to like pull the pizza stone out
really fast because I don't want Chris to see. And
he rounds the corner and he's like, unbelievable. And I
was like, what it's think about it if we were
ever in some kind of accident. He goes, what are
you gonna do with the pizza stone? I so well,
if it's the middle of summer, it's gonna heat up
by the sun and we'll be able to make food
and not die. He's like, that doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
If they could fit one of those into the little
roadside emergency kits. I'm sure they would spitting.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I'm sure, and he's like, this is you have got
to ask people. Nobody has a weirder trunk than you.
This was after a clean out before we moved, where
I had champagne flutes in there. I had a full
kitchen set. I had like half my kid's basement toys.
That's like before we were even moving. There was absolutely
(18:01):
no reason for that to be. I had a sled.
I had a sled in my car all year last year.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Five gets a stone bead making kid. I got it
all going on in here.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
But again, talk to me about it. I'd be like,
if I broke down at Sleeping Bear Dunes, I'd be
able to ride my sled down for a.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Water source, you know, if I was still driving a car,
not an suv. I feel like you can take a
trunk and make it out of sight, out of mind
really easily, right, Like you just trapp stuff in there,
set it and forget it. Kind of with the suv though.
The weirdest thing in my car right now, Schmidty, I
have been driving around for two plus weeks with two
and a half gallons of vegetable oil I'm supposed to
(18:39):
return to Costco. I've been driving around with the receipt
and these gigantic tubs of vegetable oil that were the
wrong quiet kind of according to my life.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
And are they still sealed? Because if that does spell,
that's quite clean.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Oh it's gonna be. I have already more than once
had that panic attack of like took a turn too
sharply and then just heard it smack across the other
side of the vehicle.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Or someone were oh god, oh god, someone rear ends you.
And then I'm doing the big Bie Coffee traffic report
and for some reason, there's vegetable all over one thirty.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Guns click roads everywhere, folks. Smells like French fries down here.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I mean, I put this on our Facebook. Aaron, thank
you very much. She's driving around with a small portable
mini vacuum, a zero gravity chair and a fan which
sounds to me like a summer VCA. Kristen has rodent
repellent pouches. A few months ago, a mouse popped out
from the space between my dash and windshield while I
was driving a skill saw wire and brand clippers for
(19:34):
Danielle girl. I feel like you just wait for another
bad storm to roll through, and you've got a business,
but you're prepared.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
You can help out consumers. Jim, Oh, salty, let's let
the air out of the balloon before burd shall we
salty schmitty right now and starting a five points yevna
that you mentioned political mailer Schmitty. Yeah, nobody's gonna disagree
with you.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Everybody is salty about this. I for one, come at me.
I'm a millennial, so maybe I'm wrong. I just I
don't know if mailers work anymore for this, Like are
you guys getting those giant postcards in the mail And
then you're going, oh my gosh, that is completely changing
the way that I'm going to voles. But I feel
(20:15):
so bad for the trees. Like yesterday was a record.
I went and got the mail yesterday. I had nine
political mailers. And here's the thing. If you line them
all up, you know, one from the left, one from
the right, do you guys realize they all are saying
the same things. Yeah, they're like, hey, this person is
(20:36):
against this. But then it's like, oh, but they're they're
against it too. Well they did this, Oh but they
also did it Like it was the wildest thing to me,
and I'm just like, I'm so sorry. I love democracy
and living in America and the right to vote, but
if I could unsubscribe somehow through the postal service, I
(20:57):
also don't want my lovely postal woman. I have to
carry all that stuff, honey. It's going right in my
recycling bin anyway.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Really, So sulky pro tip for Isshmandy, they make excellent
enkindling for your solo stove your fire pits. Just go
ahead and toss those bad boys right now.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Now, movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's the celebritiescoop. On Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, sharing a very optimistic
update about her cancer battle, officially saying she has ended
her chemo therapy treatment but the journey is still ongoing,
sharing a three minute video with people yesterday on her social.
Speaker 11 (21:42):
Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now
my focus. So I have finished chemotherapy, my path to
healing and full recovery is long and I must continue
to take each day as it comes. I am, however,
looking forward to being back work and under taking a
few more public engagements in the coming months when I
(22:04):
can now.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
The Palace refused to officially comment or confirm on whether
the Princess is officially cancer free, but she did have
this to say to those still battling the disease.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
To all those who are continuing their own kinds of journey,
I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand.
Out of darkness can come light, So let that light
shine right.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Really sweet video. She talks a lot about family and
how perspective changing this diagnosis has been. Her first public
appearance this year was at Trooping the Color back in June,
and as you heard her say, she is hoping for
a couple more engagements at least before the end of
the year, but it is going to be a day
to day basis.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Did you find that video a little weird? I just
think it was what it seems like, over the top.
It felt like a documentary style almost. It's just I
don't know, I.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Guess I kind of wouldn't expect anything different coming from
the royal family in the Cambridge house like that tends
to be. How I mean, you look at her family
photos and things like that, everything's very polished and professional,
and I actually kind of looked at it as something
they did and hired someone to help them do so
they kind of had it for their family. I loved Anthony.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I guess it lacked authenticity to me. It felt like
a very produced thing.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
All right.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Selena Gomez opening up about the lasting impact of her
health issues, confirming for the first time she is not
able to carry her own children. The actress getting very
vulnerable in a new cover story in Vanity Fair, she
is the cover model for this month, admitting she learned
a very hard truth a while ago, and it's been
(23:44):
something she's been grappling with. Of course, she has been
battling lupus for the last ten years, sharing, unfortunately, I
have a lot of medical issues that would put my
life and the babies in jeopardy. Was something that I've
had to grieve for quite a while, she says, now
she has accepted her reality, admitting she's considering surrogacy or
(24:05):
even adoption in the future, continuing, it may be really
thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying
to be moms. I'm one of those people. I'm excited
for what that journey will look like, but it will
definitely look a little different. She's been asked a lot
of questions about children, only just recently saying she has
a very big interest in having kids, and then of
(24:28):
course her boyfriend possibly fiance if you believe it. Benny
Blanco admitted back in May having kids would really be
the next goal and the next box he wants checked.
So probably a conversation the two of them have been
having for.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
A while, whether it's mental health, body body issues, Costy yeah,
anything like that. I mean, I can't think of a
bigger celebrity that's done so much more of it in public,
in front of her fans, in front of anybody else in.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
The Lady Lena Yeah. And finally, I heart radio host
of the Breakfast Club Charlemagne the Gods said few words
that might have the Swifties a little less than impressed.
On their show yesterday, the crew was talking about the
big selection for the Super Bowl halftime show being Kendrick Lamar.
They were talking about some of that backlash that Lil
(25:15):
Wayne wasn't chosen since the halftime show is going down
in New Orleans, where he is from. When Charlemagne made
this comment and all of.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Y'all upset, just remember one thing that we all can
collectively be happy about in the culture.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Just be happy.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
We didn't get Taylor Swift thank your Honestly, he's the
best at presenting those things. And he had a few
comments Wayne for him on his internet.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah, don't rattle the Swifties. Okay, they're very easily agitating.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I don't know if somebody can handle it. It's Charlemagne
to God. You can hear the entire interview and all
of your scoop at West Michigan Star dot com selling.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
A fine point savin, a smack and schmidty and let's
throw down at his Battle of the Sexy time and
your shot to get out some awesome, high flying and
glowing the dark family fun.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
It's hot Wheels Monster Trucks live just a few days
away before it is here taken over Banandelerina. We have
got your tickets. With the number one answer, one hundred
women surveyed, name an animal you wish didn't exist.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Oh this is so easy for me. Moles. I wish
moles didn't exist.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
They served no parare in the mole war right now?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Are it is? I actually was winning the war up
until a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm losing
bathosts what.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
They want you to think. It's a false sense of security.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
It was they lulled me, schmidty. They lulled me.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Not that I'm inviting this kerma in, but I would
take an entire colony of moles over a single gardener. Snake. Well, yep, nope.
I want nothing that slithers around and doesn't have feet
and can still do so much damage. I don't. I
went to private school. I learned God created any every
animal for a reason. I don't get you, snakes. I don't.
Six one, six, four, five, eight, one oh five seven.
(26:57):
One hundred women surveyed. Name an animal you wish didn't exist.
Caller seven. First chance at the number one answer, and
you've got your week. Guest plans at Hot Wheels, Monster Trucks,
Live Globe Aarty with Star one L five point seven.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Good morning Star. Who's this? You said? Tristan? Yep, hey, Tristan,
are you doing today? Good? Hold you, bud.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I'm eleven eleven.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
So does that make you a sixth grader this year?
Speaker 11 (27:27):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Awesome. Shout out your school, buddy, Thanks, shout out your school.
Tis all right, Northern Trails. Let's see if one of
your finests can win some hot Wheels Monster Truck Live tickets. Tristan.
One hundred women were asked to name an animal you
wish didn't exist, and I'm gonna give you a hint. Okay,
I'm gonna give you a hint. It's an animal that
(27:48):
we're irritated by right now, but won't have to be
irritated by them in just a couple of months.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
All Right, I'm.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Just gonna think that is the most annoying thing.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
I'm guessing all you're just thinking of the most annoying
thing buzzing around, biting you on your knuckles or on
the bone of your heel, or any of those other
terrible spots.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Mosquitos is the top answer, Tristan. You've got hot wheels
of monster trucks live, sir, way to go, Thank you,
you are very welcome. Yeah it was Mosquitos, followed by snakes,
then rats, and then skunks, rounding out those top answers.
But Tristan, you've got your tickets for hot wheels, my friend.
Thank you, you're very welcome. Let's do it again tomorrow.
(28:33):
Hopefully you'll do as good as Tristan did today and
score these tickets. For you and your crew. We'll do
it at eight fifteen. Battle of the Sexes here on
stock Good morning to you, Smackage Schwinny of both a
couple of parents who are not afraid to lie to
our children when it's convenient to us at all, not
one bit, and you know we're in good company. Schmidty
former NFL player, Not Jason Kelsey. I always want to say, Travis,
(28:58):
I can't get.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
That better, brother, Jason Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I agree with you, the one not dating Taylor Swift.
Jason is not afraid of lie to his kids either,
and on their New Heights podcast, Mitty he had this
very particular lie to avoid having to get a cat
for his daughters.
Speaker 12 (29:12):
You know what my latest plan to divert our family
from getting a cat is. I just keep telling our
girls that cats are poisonous.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
What would you tell them that so that.
Speaker 12 (29:23):
They don't want cats and I don't have to deal
with having a cat and make them terrified, they'll figure
it out.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I like this, Savis went on, and he's like, so
when they go over to a friend's house and see
a cat, do they just scream bloody murder because it's
going to kill them? And Jason's like, that sounds like
another person's problem.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Do you think Travis is not? Is?
Speaker 10 (29:42):
You know?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
He's like, that's sick, it's disgusting. Is that because he
knows what a cat person his girlfriend is and wants
to avoid that.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
You guys are going to come over to my house
and there's going to be a ton of cats.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
So I wanted to know what is the line you
have told your kids to avoid having to buy them
something take them someplace, because a couple of years ago
we had gotten season passes for Michigan's Adventure for our
kids when we were there, and so they wanted to
go all the time, every weekend, every day during the
summer at well, like can we go to Michigan Inventure?
(30:13):
Can we go to Michigan Venture? And no, we don't
want to go to Michigan Venture every day. It's too much.
And eventually, instead of saying no every day, we started
to come up with excuses as to why we couldn't.
And I took screenshots on a busy Saturday of extended
lines where it would say the line for certain rides
was like an hour and ten minutes, all this stuff,
(30:33):
and I go, yeah, you know, let's check it out.
Let's see how it's looking today. Guys. Oh, man, an
hour and a half. Wait, you guys don't want to
stand in line for an hour and a half. We
should go on a slower day. Yeah, let's go on
a slower day. Dad, Okay, Like, I have no shame in.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
That I'm the same thing, and I know a lot
of you are gonna hate on me for this, but
sometimes it's just annoying for me to have to watch
my kids play outside. Like if there's a ton of
neighbor kids around, I feel like I have to obviously
be the adult and supervise. So sometimes when my kids
are like, can we go back outside? I show them
a weather radar of someplace that is not Michigan but
(31:07):
covered in rain, because my six year old is obsessed
with weather, and I go, oh, I don't know, buddy,
let's zoom in. Wow, look at that radar's like it does.
It's really sunny, there's no clouds. I go, oh, it's Michigan.
Change in a second. Why don't we read some books
inside and just hang under the ceiling fan.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
You know you'll be outside playing next thing. You know,
you can get sucked up into a twister. Buddy, you
saw that mountain therapy.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
And again, as Jason Kelsey said, that sounds like somebody
else's problem.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
What's the lie you've told your kids to get out
of doing or buying them stuffing? Right, We've got to
go it on Facebook right now. A's West Michigan Star
get a good. Well, let's make a beautiful day even nicer?
Shall we feeling good right now? And starting on five
point seven? That's Mack and Schmidty.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I mean when you talk about the fact that teachers
should definitely get paid more, it's hilarious moments like these.
In a post that has gone a teacher shares a
video saying, while the kids were at gym, my code
teacher and I were working silently on our computers when
we heard scratching sounds over and over and over again.
(32:12):
So we went to investigate the backpacks of it.
Speaker 13 (32:17):
I going, hear you, I think it's a live turtle.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
No.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I look in the back part of his backpack and
the very back, in the very back.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
He brought a line turtle turtle.
Speaker 13 (32:39):
Oh my god, the poor thing.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
Why is it in there?
Speaker 13 (32:43):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
When you're sitting with your coworker getting some work done,
and you hear some clawing in a backpack. Yep, one
of those kids, in his first week back to school,
just couldn't quite be parted from his best friend. And
they opened up that back pocket. Right next to the
pencil case was a little pet turtle desperately trying to
get out.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Do you think that there were some probably half eaten
lunches down there for the turtle to snack on at
least while.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
It was terrified like I did not sign up for this,
And the teachers, being the incredible humans that they are,
took care of this thing and made sure the child
had a little conversation about what we do and don't
bring to school.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
That's awesome, all right, schmitty. Speaking of school, were you
a math kid? Were you good at that? Do you
remember the Pythagorean theorem? I do here? What is it?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Is it? A squared plus B squared equals c square?
Here you go, somebody to put that into practice.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Eighth or ninth grade geometry algebra? Wherever you learned that?
Of course, it is one of the most famous mathematical
equations of all time. However, it has also been unprovable
through any other means except for itself, okay, which is
in math world, apparently something that does not give it
a final proof of trueness. It's been two thousand years
(34:00):
Pythagorean theorem was actually first brought to the forefront, and
since then mathematicians have been trying to prove it using
other forms of mathematics. Well, last year, two high school
students actually made that two thousand plus year breakthrough. Calcia
Johnson and Nakia Jackson from Saint Mary's Academy in New
Orleans actually solved the Pythagorean theoreum using trigonometry. They followed
(34:25):
up on this two thousand year old conundrum where they
presented findings of the law of signs which say they
proved this fundamental truths in trigonometry without relying on the
equations themselves as evident. So all of that means that
essentially they were able to do something that mathematicians have
been trying to do for the Pythagorean theorem for two
thousand years. Actually got featured on Sixty Minutes because of
(34:47):
this incredible breakthrough. Who's watching Schmidty none other than NBA
Legends and the World's Ugliest Golf Swing Charles Barkley is
watching this unfold on sixty minutes and just announce the
other day because of these two girls and their incredible accomplishment,
he's given that school a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Listen, I was terrible at math. It's not my thing.
But please, ladies, we need you in stem. We really
do for moments just like this.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
So cool to see it. He has donated one hundred
grand every year for the next ten years for that school,
who says it will be transformative for the school again
at Saint Mary's Academy in Inner City, New Orleans. So
really cool of Barkley to step off about something you'd
never expect him to be connected to whatsoever. Feel like
it comes out to you a couple times a day.
I always want to tell you about crazy things and
(35:34):
really great things that are happening in our world. Let's
do it again tomorrow at six forty five and nine
swany here on Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning
weekdays starting at six am on Star one oh five
point seven
