I mean it was beautiful weather all week long. We
got We're just going into a busy weekend and I
don't know what it was about this week, but every
day felt like its own hill to get open.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I think it was the heat. This hotness makes me
very unmotivated. So if that's you, We're about to go

that if you do come downtown Grand Rapids this weekend,
it is going to be jammed. We've got two festivals
on top of an event at every single major venue

few artists actually out this morning when I drove in
around four fifteen, kind of putting the finishing touches on things.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
So it'll be a very very good weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:31):

News this morning, Detroit lyons legend and Pro Football Hall
of Famer Joe Schmidt has passed away at ninety two
years old. The News confirmed yes yesterday. He actually passed
on Wednesday. Team owner Martha Firestone Forward said Joe Schmidt
had the heart of a Lion, which made it appropriate
that it was also the heart of our team. Joe
(02:11):
was a key part of our championship seasons and continued
to be an important part of our organization until his passing.
The six to one linebacker considered the greatest Lion ever
by some after spending thirteen years in Detroit, twenty four interceptions,
seventeen forced bumbles, three touchdowns, more tackles than you could count,
and his performance on the field earning him two NFL
(02:33):
Championships what we now know is the Super Bowl and
named a first team All Pro on eight occasions, making
ten Pro Bowls. The Lions with a very sweet tribute
video that was released yesterday with some very sweet words
from Joe.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I had an opportunity to play football and come here
to Detroit to be on the championship team. People have
been an awful good to me this time and everything
in my life I have. I have to say that
because I was a.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Lion, I haven't That's sweet.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You've got to think that they'll do something very special
this Sunday with the Bucks coming to town at Ford Field.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, absolute Lions legend. I'm just saddened that they couldn't
he couldn't see them win another suit.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Halsey is officially engaged.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
The singer just revealed her and actor musician an Jogia
have officially taken their relationship to the next level.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Very interesting way she did it. There's a news outlet
called pop Bass that tweeted out yesterday Halsey says she
hopes to marry her boyfriend and then linked this interview
from a while ago. I mean, I've been as the best.
He's like one of the greatest things that's ever happened
to me.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
And you know, every single day that I get to
spend with him is one.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Where I just feel like I'm with my mask friend,
you know what I mean. It's incredible. Yes, guys getting married,
I hope so so.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Halsey retweeted that post and then just put asterisk asterisk
asterisk the say avin and that's how she announced it.
She had said nothing more, no idea of who proposed
to who when this officially happened, but the two are
planning to get married.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Good for her. She's been going through a lot of
stuff obviously over the last year or so. At least,
there is so good to see her find some happiness
in romance.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
And finally, Cardi B is now a mom of three.
The rapper just revealed she officially gave birth to her
third child. This is with her longtime partner Offset, who
she is now divorcing.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
She went on.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Instagram yesterday to share some very sweet picks. You can
see Offset in the hospital room with their two other kids,
each taking turns holding the newest edition. Carti simply captioned
it the prettiest little Thing nine seven twenty four. So
it looks like the baby was born on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Personally, I'd just like to be a fly on the
wall in that delivery room. You know. Cardi B's kind
of known for her colorful language. What do you think
it's like while she's giving birth Smiddy.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Benson if she had an upadurl or not. All of
yours scoop, but West Michigan start academics.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Sometimes because I get a good feeling. Yes, I'm always
blown away by young entrepreneurs. And today's feeling good story.
We got a local one who just got a big ward.
It's starting on fine point seven, Mackashmitty with you and
feeling good right now. Her name is Laila Wallace and
back when she was in fourth grade, she had an
economics project that allowed her to come up with a
(05:26):
business idea that actually took off. It's called Layla's Cool Pops,
a sweets business that she started again when she was
just ten years old. Well flash forward now she's nineteen
years old and has been doing this for the last
eight years, and she sells all these different delicious, delicious
sweet products arranging from candy and suckers and puppy chow
(05:49):
and delicious snacks to get down on. But the reason
she's doing it is to help eliminate homelessness, one sweet
at a time. That is her motto. She says, I
want to take care of my community as best as possible.
I feel like that's my responsibility and that's why I
created this business. Oh, she's all of nineteen years old
but already hires a couple of other people to help
(06:10):
her out. Every single time. She uses homeless youth as
volunteers when she has an opportunity to do so, and
has given more than twenty thousand dollars to her community
since twenty fifteen. When that project really got going well,
the community decided to reward her for that. The twenty
(06:31):
five thousand dollars state grant that was available to young
business owners. Well, Laila applied for it and just found
out she got it twenty five thousand bucks to help
her grow this business. She also got a private investment
of almost thirty five thousand dollars. This money is going
to go help give her a commercial kitchen space now
over on Southwest Edge Avenue. They're in Kalamazoo where she'll
(06:54):
be able to let this business thrive while she continues
to take classes to further her at education at Western Michigan.
I mean, this is a true West Michigan entrepreneurial story.
So a big shout out to Laila Wallace of Calabazoo.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
This is incredible.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
The Philadelphia Phillies surprising a little girl with brain cancer
with a full room makeover. This isn't have hertown just
outside of Philly. And Rosie McKenna, or as her family
likes to call her, Rosy Amazing, is six years old
and has been battling a rare form of brain cancer
since she was eleven months old. She has now gone
(07:29):
through four surgeries, sixty four rounds of chemo, and met
with countless doctors. But above all else she is happy,
and she is strong and she fights, but she's also
the biggest Phillies fan out there. And when the Phillies
heard about it, volunteers from the team actually snuck to
Rosie's house and redid her entire bedroom. They painted walls
(07:52):
and doors in Phillies colors. They decorated the ceiling with
baseball cards. They even added a hat rack filled to
the brim with brand new Phillies hats while hanging up
huge banners and posters signed by the team. Rosie was
overwhelmed when she walked in after school.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
You sorry, I'm gonna get a michel.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Like I said, There's just been so many people that
have helped us. She's the happiest, easiest going kid, and
I think that all she knows is love, and that
is like has made her into this like ball of
joy that everybody always wants to be around.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And I'm just so grateful that.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I'm in her late.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Oh that's mom, Julia Defruccio talking to ABC six. The
unveil is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
This is all things to the j Foundation, very awesome
at West Michigan Star. I'll get that video up.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Well, Britney Spears admits she did not watch any of
the MTV vms, but instead caught some highlights on YouTube
and had a strange yet kind of hilarious review, especially
with Sabrina Carpenter's very interesting live performance.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Why is she kissing the alien constage? I adore her,
I love her today. I didn't understand that part. Why
didn't she kiss a girl like that?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Was weird?
Speaker 6 (09:23):
The Sabrina girl. She uh, she said my name on
the red carpet, and I thought that was kind of cool.
I forget I'm famous sometimes my mom Pernela, but I thought.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It was kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So she seused to love Sabrina Carpenter despite the weird
alien thing.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
As for the Free for Britney group, they're celebrating that
in just a couple months, Brittany will be done paying
child support to Kevin Fetterline. Her son Jaden actually turns eighteen.
She wished him happy birthday on our social yesterday. That's
when most thought the child support would be done, but
according to the contract, it is as soon as he
graduates high school and she has to pay throughout that.
(10:03):
But he is graduating early in November. So the Brittany
people are celebrating this morning.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I don't know if this is a hot taker or
not smitty, but frankly, how are we celebrating the end
of child support payments? Kevin Fetterline primarily took care of
those two boys.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
The free Brittany people.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I guess that's weird, all right.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Taylor Swift's pal, producer and musician Jack Antonov, has broken
his silence on being salammed for his behavior during Katie
Perry's VMA performance. So if you missed the drama behind this,
At one point, the MTV camera up Panda Jack and
showed him putting ear plugs in as she took the stage,
(10:41):
and a lot of people thought that that was some really,
really dis unrespectful and disrespectful behavior. So Jack, in his
sarcastic fabulous form, took to X yesterday saying, I'd like
to tell you directly from me, I did, in fact
use ear plugs the other night. I am mortified to
admit I've been using them for a long time. I
even buy them in bulk. I'd also like to be
(11:02):
honest and get ahead of the fact I don't only
use them when in one hundred plus dB environments. It's
humiliating to admit I use them on planes. I use
them every night while I sleep. There's really nothing left
to do but apologize and thank those who have covered
this story, because although it's an embarrassment to my family
and I, I believe it was a very important and
pressing issue that needed to be exposed.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I'm sorry to those I let down.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I'll not be going to work today instead thinking about
my ear plug use and everyone that's been affected by it.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The band and I have decided to keep all dates
as scheduled.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I'm Jack Antonov is one clever and smart dude.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I can't imagine a more brilliant way to respond to that,
not shading Katy Perry at all.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
He's just a little bit older trying to protect his hearing.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Finally, ESPN sports analyst Joe Buck, I'm not sure how
much forgiveness you have in your heart for this sharing
a video about the freak accident that ended up sending his.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Wife into surgery. So here's a little bit of backstory.
The two were headed for a work event, but decided
to take in a little bit of golf when they
were in Cabo Saint Lucas. His wife, Michelle, has been
known to be a very like old school avid cheerleader.
This is where he starts talking about what happened.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Michelle and I have thought we'd go play a few
holes and have some fun.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
We did.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Michelle has been known to do headstands, so she did
a headstand at the end of the tea box for
good luck, and at the exact moment that I was
teeing off, she decided, with her feet in the air
to do the splits, thereby dropping her right leg a
little bit to the side, right in my line of fire,
and I hit a golf ball into the inside of
(12:41):
her right ankle and shattered it.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Shattered it.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Not just shattered it, Michelle writes, shattered the ankle to
the joint six weeks in a hard cast. What the
bones are healing nicely, the true cherry on top. The
impact of the ball was so hard it severely damaged
my tibial nerve.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I mean that sounds what's going on.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Vacation anymore with you?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
In this moment, I'm gonna go ahead and take my
recuperation time with a couple of days away from you.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
That sounds horrifically painful.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Ball to the ankle bone shattering. I don't know if
I've ever heard of a worse golf like getting hit
by a golf ball story than that.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
That's I mean, she's in his video, so obviously they're
still married, but you can hear the entire three minute story.
I'll post his social up with your scoop at West
Michigan Start up Mack.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And spitting with you on this Friday morning, and you're
not very bright.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
No, this happens to me so much.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
And I don't know if I didn't pay attention enough
in school, if I just have certain neurons that aren't
firing or connecting in my brain.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
But I had another one of those today.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I learned moments last night and it was a really,
really embarrassing one and I actually posted it on my
Instagram story and I have been getting absolutely roasted by
friends and listeners that are like, this can't be real,
and it is one hundred percent reel.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I just learned what a fossil fuel is, speaking of you.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It's up on our Facebook page at West Music. Get star.
You should go watch this because.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I mean you can see in real time as I'm understanding. Oh, so,
my son brought home he ad library at school yesterday
and he brought home a book about fossils. My six
year old is obsessed with dinosaurs, archaeology, the whole thing.
He loves it, so he's really excited. We decided to
read a bit of it as we were winding down
from the school day, and we're going it's like the
(14:37):
typical stuff I expect. There's like t Rex, they're talking
about a few other dinosaurs. They had a six million
year old rhinoceros fossil, even no rhinoceros sizes or however
you say, it would be around six million years ago.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So I'm like, this is a fascinating book.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Then it gets to the last part of it and
it's like, fossils are also used to power our daily life.
For instance, some of the those fossils from previous animals,
plant matter, and other organisms have eventually been heated up
by the Earth's core and then turned into sedimentary objects
that are used for coal iron, And I'll go, oh,
(15:13):
my lord, is that why they're called fossil fuels. I
had no idea. I just thought they were fossil fuels
because they're not renewable, like they'll go away same as
the dinosaurs. I had no idea fossil fuels came from
actual thoughts.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
That's an interesting connection you made there. I mean, it's
almost logical.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
And I'm sitting there and I can see my husband
in the background in the kitchen, like I don't marry
tell someone what you just realized, and it's just you've
got to have those moments, right, Like, for instance, when
you realize cucumbers come from pickles.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Okay, okay, you mean pickles come from cucumbers. Ei there
are Well, I don't think it works the reverse way,
but I might have, did you, because that's what you
brought up, because you know I've told you that before.
I get it. When I was it wasn't like I
was twelve, okay, I was twenty one or twenty two
years old when I figured.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I mid thirties, I didn't know what a fossil fuel was.
I'm over here listening to these political commercials like yeah,
fossil fuels can be good, or oh man, fossil fuels,
we got to turn away from those.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I had no idea that came from fossils.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Have you ever have you ever did you ever hear
somebody refer to oil or gasoline's dinosaur juice? No, see,
that was that was what I always heard, Yeah, dino juice.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Back in the twenties, they.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Say that cool kids would say that just six one
six four or.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Five eight one oh five seven, you can a call
in with what you learned and it made you feel
really dumb, or you can feel free to call in
and call me dumb because I am just a face
palm emoji today.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I cannot believe I didn't ever put that together?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Can I say? I know my wife is listening right
now because he was just texting me a few minutes ago,
and like, thank you for bringing up one of the
most embarrass moments of my intellectual life when I realized
that I did not know how where pickles came from.
Because we got into that moment schmitteen, and she could
tell that this was dawning on me, like the face like.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh my god, can you get the slow deep headlights?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Pickles are cucovers? Yeah, it all makes sense now, But
she goes, she goes, John, where did you think? How
did you think pickles came into existence, and I was like,
pickle bush, pickle tree, like.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
A fossil fuel is a million times more embarrassing. I
think that's one where it's like you should not have
made it to your mid thirties not understanding.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
What that is, and you probably shouldn't be allowed to.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Vote back and Schmidty in the morning on Star one
oh five point seven, time spill in Tea, time spill
the too, sweetheart, all right, it is time to time.
On Fridays, we take your dirt, the messages you send in,
the ridiculous things happening in your life, and give it
back to you anonymously. Of course, we can always keep
you quiet. This one though, Schmitty as a dad, as
(17:58):
a girl dad, I'm conflicted on this one. Okay, what
do you think of this dad's subtle move? Hey, Mack
and Schmidty, I listened to tea time each week, so
I had to tell you about my dad trolling my
sister's boyfriend. She goes to Penn State and she's been
dating this guy, Kirk since last year. My dad does
not like him. Kirk's incredibly arrogant and acts like my
sister is his accessory weld on Kirk k I r
(18:20):
k yes, Captain k I tried to hit that k
on there schmitty, thank you. When he came to visit
for the first time last year, my dad accidentally called
him Kurt with a t on a you and there
were Kurt a few times. After about the third or
fourth time, Kirk sharply corrected my dad, and you could
tell it bugged him.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
Well.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Flash forward nine months and Kirk has visited a few
more times, and every time my dad works in a
few seemingly accidental Kurt slip ups. When I asked my
dad about it, he told me that's his way of
making sure my sister and Kirk know that he's not
a fan without having to say it. The best part
is the last time I visited, my mom did it too.
(19:01):
She swears it wasn't on purpose.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I don't like this, dad, Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
So this is where I thought with it. I'm like,
why don't you just be with direct with your daughter
and even with the guy and say like, hey, you know,
like don't treat my daughter that way or any of
those things. And then I thought about it again, and
I thought about a college age girl, maybe you know,
maybe she's nineteen twenty somewhere in that rangemitty. How does
it work out when a dad tells his daughter that
he doesn't like the guy she's dating, especially when that
(19:27):
daughter is not in his home anymore. I don't think
it goes very well for that dad.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Do you think she's coming back with him? When he
keeps calling him Kirk?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Obviously she keeps coming back.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
She says, here's where I.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Come with on this, And I get it, girl dads,
I love that, But I'm a boy mom, and if
you're gonna pull this kind of passive words, I can't
say I actually don't want my son with your daughter
because it kind of sounds like your family doesn't know
how to have real conversations.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Bye.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, I definitely do not agree with you at all
on now. And I think that this is the way
of being like, yeah, my parents are not taking this
guy seriously. Maybe I shouldn't either, because it's not It's
not like they don't seem like they've been welcome, and
they've come back a few times, so I think this
is a dad move oof.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I think you had some very interesting parenting ideas.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
All right way in yourself on Facebook at West Michigan, Star.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
This was really rough to watch in Thursday night football.
Last night, Dolphins quarterback two oh Tago Viloa suffered his
third diagnosed concussion of his NFL career and he thirty
one to ten loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Tua back to pass, steps up in the pocket, ben
to take off and run and he's hit there. He
took a shot to the head on the tackle there
and he is shaking up.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
He was ruled out of the game in the third quarter.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
It was some hard contact and a lot of people
talking this morning about whether you should continue in his career.
Last night, after the game, Scott Van Pelt had Damien
Woody join him, a two time Super Bowl champ and
NFL analyst, who said, what a lot of people are echoing.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Today, Damien, this man's injury history. And I ask you,
just as a player and as a human that cares
about the fraternity, what was your reaction to this man?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
We got to start.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
We had to have a conversation.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I don't know who it is, whether it's his wife,
whether you know whoever it is, having a conversation with
that man about your quality of life. That's what a
lot of people are saying. Damien went on to go listen,
football just isn't worth this, the Bill's quarterback saying he
was going to be praying for him.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
It was so rough.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
In fact, the Dolphins head coach was literally holding back
tears last night with how bad that hit was. Some
people are saying, hey, man, at some point, you're not
even gonna be able to walk if you keep playing
like this.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, I mean, it's sad to see because he's one
of the brightest young stars in the NFL and you know,
a long career ahead of him. What Savorte I was
going to say, These things are not something you could
mess around with. One thing I did see, not that
this I think applies to him, because I think he
should retire. But they have allowed the league. You know
those big, ugly padded helmets that you see players wearing
(22:16):
in practice sometimes maybe that are extra padded to avoid concussions,
You can use those now in the NFL. There are
four players who are actually use a cast this year.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Have you seen the trash they get talked for using them.
They like, that's my thing. I have a really hard
time because it's like I who wants a concussion? Who
wants to be listening?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I mean you hear players that are in their fifties
and sixties now going my body is destroyed by this.
But then you take those precautions and people are like.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
That's not football. You need to be harder about it. Like,
to me, it's just not worth it. But I guess
I've never played football.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Global superstar Lady Gaga finally responding to her ex classmates
Facebook group declaring she would never be famous. A lot
of Gaga fans know about this. It's a close Facebook
group that was made back when Gaga was at NYU.
It only features twelve members. It's a closed group and
has a picture of a younger Gaga as the cover photo.
(23:10):
And it's just this really awful trash account talking about
how you will never be famous.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Stephanie. Well, there was a group's existence.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Brought up on TikTok the other day when one of
Gaga's fans posted a screenshot of the group, and Gaga
popped into the comments to say, some people I went
to college with made this way back when This is
why you can't give up when people doubt you or
put you down.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
You just gotta keep going. I think it's fair to
say Stephanie's pretty dang famous.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Now, yeah, the last laugh is definitely Gaga's.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And finally, this is very interesting.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Of course, you heard days ago Taylor Swift throwing her
support for Vice President Kamala Harris in this November's election.
The Democrats are really hoping that'll change some minds. Tons
of officially endorsed VP Harris billboards featuring Taylor Swift have
been popping up everywhere, especially in major cities like New
(24:04):
York and Vegas. A Times Square digital billboard included the
phrase we are in our Kamala era.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
It also featured another image using Swift's hit song ready
for It, along with a new way forward.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Ready for It. Taylor Swifts the Queen of trademarks.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
She hasn't said anything. She hasn't said anything yet and
these just went.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Up, so that will be very very interesting to watch
all of your celebscoop at West Michigan Star dot.

do this, Brian, Let's get you into Hot Wheels Monster
Trucks Live this weekend. One hundred women were asked, Brian,
the name of punishment kids get for bad behavior that
probably wouldn't be very effective to use on actual criminals.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I'm gonna state the obvious to pay odd time out
and say.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Go over there to time out. Maybe if you do
the timeout where you make them stick their nose on
the wall like in the corner. Maybe that would do it,
but just a regular timeout, I'm not sure, Brian, that's
the top answer. Well done, sir, right, congratulate listen, thank you. Yeah,
it was time out followed by sent to bed, grounded,
and spanking. I don't know if you've been in prison
(26:02):
a while, this spanking might sound pretty appealing. Congratulations, Brian.

(26:23):
startin to five point seven. Have a great time, Brian.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
They thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
You know, there are just certain places and things that
you do in this life where you are trying to
be in the zone, or you just want some peace
to yourself where you don't want somebody starting a conversation
with you. There's a lot of places like that, and
depending on your level of you know, introvertedness, extrovertedness, it
varies right from person to person, but I think there's
(26:50):
some places we can agree on.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Right the elevator. Please don't ride up with me in
the morning. I don't. I don't want to talk to you.
It's four thirty. I'm trying to get my life together.
I don't want to be awake.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
What a great example.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I'm being rude. I just I don't want to ride.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Up with you in the morning because it But it's
sometimes like your elevator mates. You talk to you make
some jokes, you have a good time. Everybody's enjoying the
elevator ride. But other times you're one hundred percent right.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I'll look at noon when I'm leaving, I don't. I'm
so sorry. I've literally run and closed the elevator so
I don't have to ride up in the morning. I apologize.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
So get this reddi So earlier this week my back
was killing me. So my sister in law got me
a massage gift certificate and I'm taking advantage of this.
So I went and got this massage. And it was
day of appointment, you know. So I'm just down to
the person who is available right there now, walk in
and the massage therapist is a you know, friendly guy,
and he's ready to go, and I'm a gregarious person.
(27:41):
I'm going to greet you with a smile and you know,
talk to you a little bit. But then when it
comes to massage time, I don't want to talk to anybody.
I want to be silent. Yeah. And at first it
was the very normal is the pressure? Okay, yeah, stuff,
you know, no, no, that stuff. But then it was
what do you do for work? You're very tense, and
I'm like, I just go work on radio. That's it.
(28:02):
I don't say another word.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Shut it down.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
So then like another minute or two goes by and
he goes, do you play sports? You seem very nodded
up in the shoulder area, and I'm like, I'm a
forty year old man. What do we talk about?
Speaker 7 (28:18):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Do I play messuse? I have no no, no, no, no,
never happens.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
The thing about it that was so off putting those
sitting was that he was doing a phenomenal job.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Well yeah, completely lost. When he's popping into your ear
every four minutes, yes.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
That's I just I couldn't like it kept on turning
into these very generic phrases like it was like, you
alliance man, are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
We've got to have an anonymous suggestion box and you
need to go ahead and like pop a little something
in there.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
You No, my insecurities came out, and I was like,
maybe it's me. Maybe I was just giving the vibe
like hey, I want to have conversations right now. But
I kid you not. When I answered this gentleman with
one word answers whenever possible, and it was always very quick,
I thought it was an unwritten rule. You don't talk
to somebody when they're getting a massage.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
I literally go to my hair stylist and she knows.
We catch up for the first five minutes, and then
I go to sleep. She can blow dry my hair
and I'll be passed out and we do not speak.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
My stylist and I are chatty. Kathy's the whole way
through that. Ever, what's a place where you just don't
want somebody talking to you. The big one that came
in my head that I've brought up before and I'm
not sure how to deal with is the dentist. Why
is it that every dental hygienis wants to have a
conversation with you? While their fingers are in your mouth
and you can't say anythink I so off footing.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I love my hygienis though, because she's always got some tea.
So I just sit there and listen. I'm like, girl,
your life's a wreck, but I live for it.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Where is that place for you? You don't want anybody
talking to you while you're doing this at West Michigan.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Stock sometime because I get a good feeling.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, sometimes we do get a good feeling, usually about
I don't know, six forty five and nine twenty is
your chance right now? Feeling good on Sterbino, finmvoyts, Evidence,
Mack and SCHMIDDI what's going on?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
All right?
Speaker 3 (30:07):
So we've got to give a big, big shout out
and all our love to the Boys and Girls Club
of Grand Rapids hosting their biggest fundraiser last night. The
Big Great Tailgate got to highlight a very special group
of ladies, the wild Cat's cheerleading program, and boy, these
cheerleaders are becoming leaders. Just talk to Wildcats coach Lakeisha Freemant,
(30:29):
who was a part of this program, and Wildcat's assistant
coach Antonia Smith, who's also.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Gone through the program.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
It's fundamental to teach girls the power of confidence and
hard work, and the fundraiser itself a big part of that.
Hoping to raise between eighty and one hundred thousand bucks
that's going to end up impacting two hundred and fifty
to three hundred and fifty kids. This is an example
of what you can do when you empower girls. Coach
(30:57):
Freeman told Fox seventeen.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
I have seen so many of the young individuals become leaders.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I have seen a lot of them come out of
their shells.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
She just encouraged me to be the person I am today.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I really love her.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
She is one of my favorite staff there. She's always
been there.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Moments like these make an everyday worth it, says Patrick,
CEO at Boys and Girls Club.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
You want to learn more West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
All right, Schmitty, I've got an engagement story of Justin
and Haley that took place in Havana. No, not that
Justin and Haley. These aren't the Beavers that It's not Havana, Cuba.
This is Havana, North Dakota and Justin Lemon and Hailey Schmidt.
This was really cool. Justin had the plan to get
engaged with his fiance now Haley several months ago before
(31:43):
farman season kicked in. Because he's a soybean farmer, Smitty,
So he actually used this precision planting technology that he's
got that is normally used for making sure that crops
are spread perfectly, even distances apart from each other, making
super uniform rows. Well, he used it to not plant soybeans,
very specifically in the shape of the words marry me
(32:07):
written in precision block mottering from over acres and acres
of this soybean farm. So then he grabbed one of
his buddies to do a crop dusting tour with Haley,
and maybe that should have made her suspicious, but as
she told the local news, well, she's low gullible.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
I feel like people that know me know that I'm
pretty gullible.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
So I was like, yeah, let's just go look at
some crops and go on a flight.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
I don't know, I didn't really.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Think anything of it.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
She had never been on a small airplane before either,
so it was it was fun.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah, it was fun because he took him up and
eventually she's like, what is that and then obviously saw
it an incredible moment, right there for the two of
them to share forever, but out of cheesy, you know,
kind of weird engagement. SCHMITTI, this one. It took months
because the crop had to grow in order for it
to make any sense at all. That's so cool.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You'll have to post it so people can see what
it looked like.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Well, put on our Facebook page at West Michigan Star.
And of course we're always here to bring some feeling good,
positive stories your way every single day. We'll do it
again on Monday six forty five and nine twenty here

Speaker 2 (00:10):
It Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one
oh five point seven. Oh it never ceases to be true.
Thank God it's Friday. Jeez, so beats. This week just dragged.
I mean it was beautiful weather all week long. We
got We're just going into a busy weekend and I
don't know what it was about this week, but every
day felt like its own hill to get open.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I think it was the heat. This hotness makes me
very unmotivated. So if that's you, We're about to go
into a weekend where I mean, I don't think you
have to do anything.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You just sit in your ac and do your best
at life.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Are you kidding me? This is not the weekend to
do nothing, schmitty. This is the weekend of broth. There
is so much happening. I mean, you've got Art Prize
of course, the kicks off today. We've been getting people
out to Brickworld and Hot Wheels, Monster Trucks Live and
Nick Schwartz and comedian tickets. I mean, this is one
of the busiest weekends of the year I think in
West Fishy.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, you know what nine forty five Marina's gonna join
us with that five star Family Fund because honestly, it's
worth getting out, like the family calendar, your phone, whatever,
write all of this stuff down, and a great reminder
that if you do come downtown Grand Rapids this weekend,
it is going to be jammed. We've got two festivals
on top of an event at every single major venue
(01:20):
in town, plus our prize. You know, I saw a
few artists actually out this morning when I drove in
around four fifteen, kind of putting the finishing touches on things.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
So it'll be a very very good weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Well, you know, the good news, then, Schmitthy, is that
parking in downtown Grand Rapids is never an issue. So
no issues at all coming downtown for the eighty million
events that are happy.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Down here, movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven
All sad.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
News this morning, Detroit lyons legend and Pro Football Hall
of Famer Joe Schmidt has passed away at ninety two
years old. The News confirmed yes yesterday. He actually passed
on Wednesday. Team owner Martha Firestone Forward said Joe Schmidt
had the heart of a Lion, which made it appropriate
that it was also the heart of our team. Joe
(02:11):
was a key part of our championship seasons and continued
to be an important part of our organization until his passing.
The six to one linebacker considered the greatest Lion ever
by some after spending thirteen years in Detroit, twenty four interceptions,
seventeen forced bumbles, three touchdowns, more tackles than you could count,
and his performance on the field earning him two NFL
(02:33):
Championships what we now know is the Super Bowl and
named a first team All Pro on eight occasions, making
ten Pro Bowls. The Lions with a very sweet tribute
video that was released yesterday with some very sweet words
from Joe.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I had an opportunity to play football and come here
to Detroit to be on the championship team. People have
been an awful good to me this time and everything
in my life I have. I have to say that
because I was a.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Lion, I haven't That's sweet.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You've got to think that they'll do something very special
this Sunday with the Bucks coming to town at Ford Field.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, absolute Lions legend. I'm just saddened that they couldn't
he couldn't see them win another suit.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Halsey is officially engaged.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
The singer just revealed her and actor musician an Jogia
have officially taken their relationship to the next level.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Very interesting way she did it. There's a news outlet
called pop Bass that tweeted out yesterday Halsey says she
hopes to marry her boyfriend and then linked this interview
from a while ago. I mean, I've been as the best.
He's like one of the greatest things that's ever happened
to me.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
And you know, every single day that I get to
spend with him is one.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Where I just feel like I'm with my mask friend,
you know what I mean. It's incredible. Yes, guys getting married,
I hope so so.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Halsey retweeted that post and then just put asterisk asterisk
asterisk the say avin and that's how she announced it.
She had said nothing more, no idea of who proposed
to who when this officially happened, but the two are
planning to get married.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Good for her. She's been going through a lot of
stuff obviously over the last year or so. At least,
there is so good to see her find some happiness
in romance.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
And finally, Cardi B is now a mom of three.
The rapper just revealed she officially gave birth to her
third child. This is with her longtime partner Offset, who
she is now divorcing.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
She went on.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Instagram yesterday to share some very sweet picks. You can
see Offset in the hospital room with their two other kids,
each taking turns holding the newest edition. Carti simply captioned
it the prettiest little Thing nine seven twenty four. So
it looks like the baby was born on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Personally, I'd just like to be a fly on the
wall in that delivery room. You know. Cardi B's kind
of known for her colorful language. What do you think
it's like while she's giving birth Smiddy.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Benson if she had an upadurl or not. All of
yours scoop, but West Michigan start academics.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Sometimes because I get a good feeling. Yes, I'm always
blown away by young entrepreneurs. And today's feeling good story.
We got a local one who just got a big ward.
It's starting on fine point seven, Mackashmitty with you and
feeling good right now. Her name is Laila Wallace and
back when she was in fourth grade, she had an
economics project that allowed her to come up with a
(05:26):
business idea that actually took off. It's called Layla's Cool Pops,
a sweets business that she started again when she was
just ten years old. Well flash forward now she's nineteen
years old and has been doing this for the last
eight years, and she sells all these different delicious, delicious
sweet products arranging from candy and suckers and puppy chow
(05:49):
and delicious snacks to get down on. But the reason
she's doing it is to help eliminate homelessness, one sweet
at a time. That is her motto. She says, I
want to take care of my community as best as possible.
I feel like that's my responsibility and that's why I
created this business. Oh, she's all of nineteen years old
but already hires a couple of other people to help
(06:10):
her out. Every single time. She uses homeless youth as
volunteers when she has an opportunity to do so, and
has given more than twenty thousand dollars to her community
since twenty fifteen. When that project really got going well,
the community decided to reward her for that. The twenty
(06:31):
five thousand dollars state grant that was available to young
business owners. Well, Laila applied for it and just found
out she got it twenty five thousand bucks to help
her grow this business. She also got a private investment
of almost thirty five thousand dollars. This money is going
to go help give her a commercial kitchen space now
over on Southwest Edge Avenue. They're in Kalamazoo where she'll
(06:54):
be able to let this business thrive while she continues
to take classes to further her at education at Western Michigan.
I mean, this is a true West Michigan entrepreneurial story.
So a big shout out to Laila Wallace of Calabazoo.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
This is incredible.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
The Philadelphia Phillies surprising a little girl with brain cancer
with a full room makeover. This isn't have hertown just
outside of Philly. And Rosie McKenna, or as her family
likes to call her, Rosy Amazing, is six years old
and has been battling a rare form of brain cancer
since she was eleven months old. She has now gone
(07:29):
through four surgeries, sixty four rounds of chemo, and met
with countless doctors. But above all else she is happy,
and she is strong and she fights, but she's also
the biggest Phillies fan out there. And when the Phillies
heard about it, volunteers from the team actually snuck to
Rosie's house and redid her entire bedroom. They painted walls
(07:52):
and doors in Phillies colors. They decorated the ceiling with
baseball cards. They even added a hat rack filled to
the brim with brand new Phillies hats while hanging up
huge banners and posters signed by the team. Rosie was
overwhelmed when she walked in after school.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
You sorry, I'm gonna get a michel.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Like I said, There's just been so many people that
have helped us. She's the happiest, easiest going kid, and
I think that all she knows is love, and that
is like has made her into this like ball of
joy that everybody always wants to be around.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And I'm just so grateful that.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I'm in her late.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Oh that's mom, Julia Defruccio talking to ABC six. The
unveil is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
This is all things to the j Foundation, very awesome
at West Michigan Star. I'll get that video up.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Well, Britney Spears admits she did not watch any of
the MTV vms, but instead caught some highlights on YouTube
and had a strange yet kind of hilarious review, especially
with Sabrina Carpenter's very interesting live performance.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Why is she kissing the alien constage? I adore her,
I love her today. I didn't understand that part. Why
didn't she kiss a girl like that?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Was weird?
Speaker 6 (09:23):
The Sabrina girl. She uh, she said my name on
the red carpet, and I thought that was kind of cool.
I forget I'm famous sometimes my mom Pernela, but I thought.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It was kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So she seused to love Sabrina Carpenter despite the weird
alien thing.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
As for the Free for Britney group, they're celebrating that
in just a couple months, Brittany will be done paying
child support to Kevin Fetterline. Her son Jaden actually turns eighteen.
She wished him happy birthday on our social yesterday. That's
when most thought the child support would be done, but
according to the contract, it is as soon as he
graduates high school and she has to pay throughout that.
(10:03):
But he is graduating early in November. So the Brittany
people are celebrating this morning.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I don't know if this is a hot taker or
not smitty, but frankly, how are we celebrating the end
of child support payments? Kevin Fetterline primarily took care of
those two boys.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
The free Brittany people.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I guess that's weird, all right.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Taylor Swift's pal, producer and musician Jack Antonov, has broken
his silence on being salammed for his behavior during Katie
Perry's VMA performance. So if you missed the drama behind this,
At one point, the MTV camera up Panda Jack and
showed him putting ear plugs in as she took the stage,
(10:41):
and a lot of people thought that that was some really,
really dis unrespectful and disrespectful behavior. So Jack, in his
sarcastic fabulous form, took to X yesterday saying, I'd like
to tell you directly from me, I did, in fact
use ear plugs the other night. I am mortified to
admit I've been using them for a long time. I
even buy them in bulk. I'd also like to be
(11:02):
honest and get ahead of the fact I don't only
use them when in one hundred plus dB environments. It's
humiliating to admit I use them on planes. I use
them every night while I sleep. There's really nothing left
to do but apologize and thank those who have covered
this story, because although it's an embarrassment to my family
and I, I believe it was a very important and
pressing issue that needed to be exposed.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I'm sorry to those I let down.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I'll not be going to work today instead thinking about
my ear plug use and everyone that's been affected by it.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The band and I have decided to keep all dates
as scheduled.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I'm Jack Antonov is one clever and smart dude.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I can't imagine a more brilliant way to respond to that,
not shading Katy Perry at all.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
He's just a little bit older trying to protect his hearing.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Finally, ESPN sports analyst Joe Buck, I'm not sure how
much forgiveness you have in your heart for this sharing
a video about the freak accident that ended up sending his.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Wife into surgery. So here's a little bit of backstory.
The two were headed for a work event, but decided
to take in a little bit of golf when they
were in Cabo Saint Lucas. His wife, Michelle, has been
known to be a very like old school avid cheerleader.
This is where he starts talking about what happened.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Michelle and I have thought we'd go play a few
holes and have some fun.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
We did.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Michelle has been known to do headstands, so she did
a headstand at the end of the tea box for
good luck, and at the exact moment that I was
teeing off, she decided, with her feet in the air
to do the splits, thereby dropping her right leg a
little bit to the side, right in my line of fire,
and I hit a golf ball into the inside of
(12:41):
her right ankle and shattered it.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Shattered it.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Not just shattered it, Michelle writes, shattered the ankle to
the joint six weeks in a hard cast. What the
bones are healing nicely, the true cherry on top. The
impact of the ball was so hard it severely damaged
my tibial nerve.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I mean that sounds what's going on.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Vacation anymore with you?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
In this moment, I'm gonna go ahead and take my
recuperation time with a couple of days away from you.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
That sounds horrifically painful.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Ball to the ankle bone shattering. I don't know if
I've ever heard of a worse golf like getting hit
by a golf ball story than that.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
That's I mean, she's in his video, so obviously they're
still married, but you can hear the entire three minute story.
I'll post his social up with your scoop at West
Michigan Start up Mack.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And spitting with you on this Friday morning, and you're
not very bright.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
No, this happens to me so much.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
And I don't know if I didn't pay attention enough
in school, if I just have certain neurons that aren't
firing or connecting in my brain.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
But I had another one of those today.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I learned moments last night and it was a really,
really embarrassing one and I actually posted it on my
Instagram story and I have been getting absolutely roasted by
friends and listeners that are like, this can't be real,
and it is one hundred percent reel.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I just learned what a fossil fuel is, speaking of you.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It's up on our Facebook page at West Music. Get star.
You should go watch this because.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I mean you can see in real time as I'm understanding. Oh, so,
my son brought home he ad library at school yesterday
and he brought home a book about fossils. My six
year old is obsessed with dinosaurs, archaeology, the whole thing.
He loves it, so he's really excited. We decided to
read a bit of it as we were winding down
from the school day, and we're going it's like the
(14:37):
typical stuff I expect. There's like t Rex, they're talking
about a few other dinosaurs. They had a six million
year old rhinoceros fossil, even no rhinoceros sizes or however
you say, it would be around six million years ago.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So I'm like, this is a fascinating book.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Then it gets to the last part of it and
it's like, fossils are also used to power our daily life.
For instance, some of the those fossils from previous animals,
plant matter, and other organisms have eventually been heated up
by the Earth's core and then turned into sedimentary objects
that are used for coal iron, And I'll go, oh,
(15:13):
my lord, is that why they're called fossil fuels. I
had no idea. I just thought they were fossil fuels
because they're not renewable, like they'll go away same as
the dinosaurs. I had no idea fossil fuels came from
actual thoughts.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
That's an interesting connection you made there. I mean, it's
almost logical.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
And I'm sitting there and I can see my husband
in the background in the kitchen, like I don't marry
tell someone what you just realized, and it's just you've
got to have those moments, right, Like, for instance, when
you realize cucumbers come from pickles.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Okay, okay, you mean pickles come from cucumbers. Ei there
are Well, I don't think it works the reverse way,
but I might have, did you, because that's what you
brought up, because you know I've told you that before.
I get it. When I was it wasn't like I
was twelve, okay, I was twenty one or twenty two
years old when I figured.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I mid thirties, I didn't know what a fossil fuel was.
I'm over here listening to these political commercials like yeah,
fossil fuels can be good, or oh man, fossil fuels,
we got to turn away from those.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I had no idea that came from fossils.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Have you ever have you ever did you ever hear
somebody refer to oil or gasoline's dinosaur juice? No, see,
that was that was what I always heard, Yeah, dino juice.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Back in the twenties, they.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Say that cool kids would say that just six one
six four or.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Five eight one oh five seven, you can a call
in with what you learned and it made you feel
really dumb, or you can feel free to call in
and call me dumb because I am just a face
palm emoji today.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I cannot believe I didn't ever put that together?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Can I say? I know my wife is listening right
now because he was just texting me a few minutes ago,
and like, thank you for bringing up one of the
most embarrass moments of my intellectual life when I realized
that I did not know how where pickles came from.
Because we got into that moment schmitteen, and she could
tell that this was dawning on me, like the face like.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh my god, can you get the slow deep headlights?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Pickles are cucovers? Yeah, it all makes sense now, But
she goes, she goes, John, where did you think? How
did you think pickles came into existence, and I was like,
pickle bush, pickle tree, like.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
A fossil fuel is a million times more embarrassing. I
think that's one where it's like you should not have
made it to your mid thirties not understanding.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
What that is, and you probably shouldn't be allowed to.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Vote back and Schmidty in the morning on Star one
oh five point seven, time spill in Tea, time spill
the too, sweetheart, all right, it is time to time.
On Fridays, we take your dirt, the messages you send in,
the ridiculous things happening in your life, and give it
back to you anonymously. Of course, we can always keep
you quiet. This one though, Schmitty as a dad, as
(17:58):
a girl dad, I'm conflicted on this one. Okay, what
do you think of this dad's subtle move? Hey, Mack
and Schmidty, I listened to tea time each week, so
I had to tell you about my dad trolling my
sister's boyfriend. She goes to Penn State and she's been
dating this guy, Kirk since last year. My dad does
not like him. Kirk's incredibly arrogant and acts like my
sister is his accessory weld on Kirk k I r
(18:20):
k yes, Captain k I tried to hit that k
on there schmitty, thank you. When he came to visit
for the first time last year, my dad accidentally called
him Kurt with a t on a you and there
were Kurt a few times. After about the third or
fourth time, Kirk sharply corrected my dad, and you could
tell it bugged him.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
Well.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Flash forward nine months and Kirk has visited a few
more times, and every time my dad works in a
few seemingly accidental Kurt slip ups. When I asked my
dad about it, he told me that's his way of
making sure my sister and Kirk know that he's not
a fan without having to say it. The best part
is the last time I visited, my mom did it too.
(19:01):
She swears it wasn't on purpose.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I don't like this, dad, Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
So this is where I thought with it. I'm like,
why don't you just be with direct with your daughter
and even with the guy and say like, hey, you know,
like don't treat my daughter that way or any of
those things. And then I thought about it again, and
I thought about a college age girl, maybe you know,
maybe she's nineteen twenty somewhere in that rangemitty. How does
it work out when a dad tells his daughter that
he doesn't like the guy she's dating, especially when that
(19:27):
daughter is not in his home anymore. I don't think
it goes very well for that dad.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Do you think she's coming back with him? When he
keeps calling him Kirk?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Obviously she keeps coming back.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
She says, here's where I.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Come with on this, And I get it, girl dads,
I love that, But I'm a boy mom, and if
you're gonna pull this kind of passive words, I can't
say I actually don't want my son with your daughter
because it kind of sounds like your family doesn't know
how to have real conversations.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Bye.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, I definitely do not agree with you at all
on now. And I think that this is the way
of being like, yeah, my parents are not taking this
guy seriously. Maybe I shouldn't either, because it's not It's
not like they don't seem like they've been welcome, and
they've come back a few times, so I think this
is a dad move oof.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I think you had some very interesting parenting ideas.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
All right way in yourself on Facebook at West Michigan, Star.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
This was really rough to watch in Thursday night football.
Last night, Dolphins quarterback two oh Tago Viloa suffered his
third diagnosed concussion of his NFL career and he thirty
one to ten loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Tua back to pass, steps up in the pocket, ben
to take off and run and he's hit there. He
took a shot to the head on the tackle there
and he is shaking up.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
He was ruled out of the game in the third quarter.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
It was some hard contact and a lot of people
talking this morning about whether you should continue in his career.
Last night, after the game, Scott Van Pelt had Damien
Woody join him, a two time Super Bowl champ and
NFL analyst, who said, what a lot of people are echoing.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Today, Damien, this man's injury history. And I ask you,
just as a player and as a human that cares
about the fraternity, what was your reaction to this man?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
We got to start.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
We had to have a conversation.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I don't know who it is, whether it's his wife,
whether you know whoever it is, having a conversation with
that man about your quality of life. That's what a
lot of people are saying. Damien went on to go listen,
football just isn't worth this, the Bill's quarterback saying he
was going to be praying for him.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
It was so rough.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
In fact, the Dolphins head coach was literally holding back
tears last night with how bad that hit was. Some
people are saying, hey, man, at some point, you're not
even gonna be able to walk if you keep playing
like this.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, I mean, it's sad to see because he's one
of the brightest young stars in the NFL and you know,
a long career ahead of him. What Savorte I was
going to say, These things are not something you could
mess around with. One thing I did see, not that
this I think applies to him, because I think he
should retire. But they have allowed the league. You know
those big, ugly padded helmets that you see players wearing
(22:16):
in practice sometimes maybe that are extra padded to avoid concussions,
You can use those now in the NFL. There are
four players who are actually use a cast this year.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Have you seen the trash they get talked for using them.
They like, that's my thing. I have a really hard
time because it's like I who wants a concussion? Who
wants to be listening?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I mean you hear players that are in their fifties
and sixties now going my body is destroyed by this.
But then you take those precautions and people are like.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
That's not football. You need to be harder about it. Like,
to me, it's just not worth it. But I guess
I've never played football.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Global superstar Lady Gaga finally responding to her ex classmates
Facebook group declaring she would never be famous. A lot
of Gaga fans know about this. It's a close Facebook
group that was made back when Gaga was at NYU.
It only features twelve members. It's a closed group and
has a picture of a younger Gaga as the cover photo.
(23:10):
And it's just this really awful trash account talking about
how you will never be famous.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Stephanie. Well, there was a group's existence.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Brought up on TikTok the other day when one of
Gaga's fans posted a screenshot of the group, and Gaga
popped into the comments to say, some people I went
to college with made this way back when This is
why you can't give up when people doubt you or
put you down.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
You just gotta keep going. I think it's fair to
say Stephanie's pretty dang famous.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Now, yeah, the last laugh is definitely Gaga's.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And finally, this is very interesting.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Of course, you heard days ago Taylor Swift throwing her
support for Vice President Kamala Harris in this November's election.
The Democrats are really hoping that'll change some minds. Tons
of officially endorsed VP Harris billboards featuring Taylor Swift have
been popping up everywhere, especially in major cities like New
(24:04):
York and Vegas. A Times Square digital billboard included the
phrase we are in our Kamala era.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
It also featured another image using Swift's hit song ready
for It, along with a new way forward.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Ready for It. Taylor Swifts the Queen of trademarks.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
She hasn't said anything. She hasn't said anything yet and
these just went.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Up, so that will be very very interesting to watch
all of your celebscoop at West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 2 (24:32):

Speaker 1 (25:37):
I'm gonna state the obvious to pay odd time out
and say.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Go over there to time out. Maybe if you do
the timeout where you make them stick their nose on
the wall like in the corner. Maybe that would do it,
but just a regular timeout, I'm not sure, Brian, that's
the top answer. Well done, sir, right, congratulate listen, thank you. Yeah,
it was time out followed by sent to bed, grounded,
and spanking. I don't know if you've been in prison

Speaker 4 (26:26):
They thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
You know, there are just certain places and things that
you do in this life where you are trying to
be in the zone, or you just want some peace
to yourself where you don't want somebody starting a conversation
with you. There's a lot of places like that, and
depending on your level of you know, introvertedness, extrovertedness, it
varies right from person to person, but I think there's
(26:50):
some places we can agree on.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Right the elevator. Please don't ride up with me in
the morning. I don't. I don't want to talk to you.
It's four thirty. I'm trying to get my life together.
I don't want to be awake.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
What a great example.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I'm being rude. I just I don't want to ride.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Up with you in the morning because it But it's
sometimes like your elevator mates. You talk to you make
some jokes, you have a good time. Everybody's enjoying the
elevator ride. But other times you're one hundred percent right.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I'll look at noon when I'm leaving, I don't. I'm
so sorry. I've literally run and closed the elevator so
I don't have to ride up in the morning. I apologize.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
So get this reddi So earlier this week my back
was killing me. So my sister in law got me
a massage gift certificate and I'm taking advantage of this.
So I went and got this massage. And it was
day of appointment, you know. So I'm just down to
the person who is available right there now, walk in
and the massage therapist is a you know, friendly guy,
and he's ready to go, and I'm a gregarious person.
(27:41):
I'm going to greet you with a smile and you know,
talk to you a little bit. But then when it
comes to massage time, I don't want to talk to anybody.
I want to be silent. Yeah. And at first it
was the very normal is the pressure? Okay, yeah, stuff,
you know, no, no, that stuff. But then it was
what do you do for work? You're very tense, and
I'm like, I just go work on radio. That's it.
(28:02):
I don't say another word.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Shut it down.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
So then like another minute or two goes by and
he goes, do you play sports? You seem very nodded
up in the shoulder area, and I'm like, I'm a
forty year old man. What do we talk about?
Speaker 7 (28:18):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Do I play messuse? I have no no, no, no, no,
never happens.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
The thing about it that was so off putting those
sitting was that he was doing a phenomenal job.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Well yeah, completely lost. When he's popping into your ear
every four minutes, yes.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
That's I just I couldn't like it kept on turning
into these very generic phrases like it was like, you
alliance man, are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
We've got to have an anonymous suggestion box and you
need to go ahead and like pop a little something
in there.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
You No, my insecurities came out, and I was like,
maybe it's me. Maybe I was just giving the vibe
like hey, I want to have conversations right now. But
I kid you not. When I answered this gentleman with
one word answers whenever possible, and it was always very quick,
I thought it was an unwritten rule. You don't talk
to somebody when they're getting a massage.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
I literally go to my hair stylist and she knows.
We catch up for the first five minutes, and then
I go to sleep. She can blow dry my hair
and I'll be passed out and we do not speak.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
My stylist and I are chatty. Kathy's the whole way
through that. Ever, what's a place where you just don't
want somebody talking to you. The big one that came
in my head that I've brought up before and I'm
not sure how to deal with is the dentist. Why
is it that every dental hygienis wants to have a
conversation with you? While their fingers are in your mouth
and you can't say anythink I so off footing.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I love my hygienis though, because she's always got some tea.
So I just sit there and listen. I'm like, girl,
your life's a wreck, but I live for it.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Where is that place for you? You don't want anybody
talking to you while you're doing this at West Michigan.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Stock sometime because I get a good feeling.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, sometimes we do get a good feeling, usually about
I don't know, six forty five and nine twenty is
your chance right now? Feeling good on Sterbino, finmvoyts, Evidence,
Mack and SCHMIDDI what's going on?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
All right?
Speaker 3 (30:07):
So we've got to give a big, big shout out
and all our love to the Boys and Girls Club
of Grand Rapids hosting their biggest fundraiser last night. The
Big Great Tailgate got to highlight a very special group
of ladies, the wild Cat's cheerleading program, and boy, these
cheerleaders are becoming leaders. Just talk to Wildcats coach Lakeisha Freemant,
(30:29):
who was a part of this program, and Wildcat's assistant
coach Antonia Smith, who's also.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Gone through the program.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
It's fundamental to teach girls the power of confidence and
hard work, and the fundraiser itself a big part of that.
Hoping to raise between eighty and one hundred thousand bucks
that's going to end up impacting two hundred and fifty
to three hundred and fifty kids. This is an example
of what you can do when you empower girls. Coach
(30:57):
Freeman told Fox seventeen.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
I have seen so many of the young individuals become leaders.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I have seen a lot of them come out of
their shells.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
She just encouraged me to be the person I am today.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I really love her.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
She is one of my favorite staff there. She's always
been there.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Moments like these make an everyday worth it, says Patrick,
CEO at Boys and Girls Club.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
You want to learn more West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
All right, Schmitty, I've got an engagement story of Justin
and Haley that took place in Havana. No, not that
Justin and Haley. These aren't the Beavers that It's not Havana, Cuba.
This is Havana, North Dakota and Justin Lemon and Hailey Schmidt.
This was really cool. Justin had the plan to get
engaged with his fiance now Haley several months ago before
(31:43):
farman season kicked in. Because he's a soybean farmer, Smitty,
So he actually used this precision planting technology that he's
got that is normally used for making sure that crops
are spread perfectly, even distances apart from each other, making
super uniform rows. Well, he used it to not plant soybeans,
very specifically in the shape of the words marry me
(32:07):
written in precision block mottering from over acres and acres
of this soybean farm. So then he grabbed one of
his buddies to do a crop dusting tour with Haley,
and maybe that should have made her suspicious, but as
she told the local news, well, she's low gullible.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
I feel like people that know me know that I'm
pretty gullible.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
So I was like, yeah, let's just go look at
some crops and go on a flight.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
I don't know, I didn't really.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Think anything of it.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
She had never been on a small airplane before either,
so it was it was fun.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah, it was fun because he took him up and
eventually she's like, what is that and then obviously saw
it an incredible moment, right there for the two of
them to share forever, but out of cheesy, you know,
kind of weird engagement. SCHMITTI, this one. It took months
because the crop had to grow in order for it
to make any sense at all. That's so cool.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You'll have to post it so people can see what
it looked like.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Well, put on our Facebook page at West Michigan Star.
And of course we're always here to bring some feeling good,
positive stories your way every single day. We'll do it
again on Monday six forty five and nine twenty here
on Start one oh five point seven Mack and Schmidty
in the morning weekday, starting at six am on Star
