Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on West Michigan's Christmas station,
Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Good morning, Smitty, Hey, good morning. Welcome into a wet
Tuesday out there with scattered showers across West Michigan. Gonna
be going on this morning. I's near sixty but you
know what it's gonna be. The warmest day of the
week is we'll get a little bit chillier. And if
you're one of those people who's been waiting on the
first snow of the year, well they say it's possible
in the next few days, because we're definitely gonna get
(00:26):
a lot colder over the next couple This.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Is an awesome living here.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
It's gonna be sixty one today and then it could
snow by Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Man, we get it all. Santa's missing out living up
there in that North Pole.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You're non kidding. We do get a little bit of
everything here. But you know what, that's part of coming
with West Michigan. You were just talking about how you
were a little bummed that your clicker stopped working so
you couldn't get.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
An agree I were garage clicker.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, super annoying, right, I have this thing at mo
with my garage at home. Do you never leave something
that works just enough so that you don't replace it,
so that you don't fix it. That's the garage door
open at my house.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Sorry, No, I have discount door of Grand Rapids, So
I got a brand new garage door, y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
And I'm loving life.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I sit there and I back out of my garage
in the morning, and I sit there and I push
the button and I have maybe about a fifty percent
success rate as to whether or not I'm gonna have
to get out of my car, go into the garage,
push the button, and then do the Indiana Jones step
outside of the garage door.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
As you should actually really call thisscount dorcs. It's only
gonna get worse than the winter, you know. I listen
to Michael.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Well, this is a very scary thing that, like I said,
has raised major red flags about the security protocol for
the royal family. The royal estate where Prince William and
Kate Middleton live with their kids, faced a burglary last month. Yesterday,
local police finally confirmed. Windsor Castle, one of the many
(01:56):
estates owned by the family, and we're William and Kate.
Their primary residence was burglarized, with two suspects breaking onto
the grounds.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Apparently.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Valley Police said they occurred on October thirteenth.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
That was a Sunday night.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Somehow suspects made their way onto the royal land at
eleven forty five pm local time. They broke into a
farm building where they were then able to take off
with a pickup truck and a quad bike. Somehow they
scaled the security fence and then busted through the barrier
to make their escape, and these suspects remain at large now.
(02:34):
Police say that King Charles the Third and Queen Camilla
were not there. However, William, Kate and the kids were
asleep just about a mile away. So really scary stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's insane to me, especially because I think of any
time you have to steal it from like a prince
set a castle, there needs to be some sort of
Ocean's eleven herculean effort in order to steal any sound
like that.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
They put masks on, climbed a fence and were able
to make their way under the ground before anybody knew
anything very interesting. Kim Kardashian has apparently turned to technology
for friendship. The reality star has got her hands on
her very own Tesla robot. The Skims founder posted the
interaction with her brand new Optimist Personal Assistant robot. This
(03:21):
was just introduced by Elon Musk last month, and she
seems pretty blown away by what it can do.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Okay, can you do this?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I love you?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Oh you know how to do that?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Okay, what should we do?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Go running?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Let's go for a run.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Okay, if you have not seen this video yet, it
is creepy, this thing. So she makes the tailor's swift
heart next to it, and he like moves his hand,
he jogs, he waves, he blows, kisses, he plays rock
paper scissors like. She is completely blown away by what
the thing can do. Now, apparently the Optimist units will
(04:03):
cost somewhere between twenty and thirty thousand dollars when they
finally go on sale to the public.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I mean, when we get to Alice mode from the Jetsons,
where this thing is cleaning my house and making me
a sandwich, I'm willing to drop it. I'm ready to.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Are you the rape, even if that sandwich is poisoned
because the robots are taking over. Because I'm not there yet.
I'm not feeling confident enough. I've seen all the terminators.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Alice would never all right.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Finally, Lindsey Lohan admits she loved the Minnesota Vikings touchdown
celebration from a few weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
If you missed it, it was really cool.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
They took on the jets last month towards the end
there and when they got a touchdown, they did the
parent Trap special handshake. She was on Jimmy Fallon and
said it was definitely cool.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
I know Nancy Myers was the person who sent it
to me and showed me who directed the Parent Traps.
The coolest thing, so coolest, liting like the doing movie,
like the Parent Drop, and then it's a crossover into
sports players doing it. Such a cool feeling and that's
not an easy handshake to learn.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah, she said, actually, I'm really impressed. The kneeled every
single move. That took me weeks to learn for the movie.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
My question is how old were those players with that
movie came out? Were they?
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Ya?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Gosh, way to be a bummer buzz kill.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
If you want to see the videol Lindsay also had
some really cool things to say about the new Netflix movie.
It's with your scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Sometimes because I get a good feeling, always here to
put a little positivity into your morning. Thanks for sharing
it with us, Mack and Schmidti here on Star with
feeling good right now, SCHMITTI. And if you're somebody who,
by chance doesn't feel like maybe great actors or entertainers
deserve recognition from our governments, well you know who's not
a big fan of them either.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Actors so centered and a racious.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
You do realize that I'm an actor, the only one
I know, the one and only Betty White. Schmidti is
getting her very own stamp. Yeah, this was really cool
news yesterday, the United States Postal Service announcing that Betty
White get to be honored with her very own stamp
next year. It's actually from one of her autobiographies back
(06:12):
in twenty ten, a photograph taken by Kawaku Alston. But yeah,
seven decade career of course, Mary Tyler Moore Show and
the Golden Girls, and man, when I played this theme
just this morning to mid it just felt good.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Honestly, She's incredible and hot in Cleveland. That is a
such a fun watch if you find it on streaming.
It is a feel good show. And those women together
are as good as the Golden Girls. Yeah, next year
would have marked the third year. This year would have
been the third year, since you're passing right before her
one hundredth birthday. All right, So boy o boy, are
you thankful for a daughter like this? An eighty five
(06:46):
year old Lapierre County man lost almost twenty five thousand
dollars in a bitcoin scam, but thanks to his daughter's
quick thinking, he got it all back. Andrew Robinson has
and living in retirement after working decades at GM, but
some of that retirement joy was taken advantage of last
(07:09):
month when he received an email congratulating him about his
bitcoin purchase. Eighty five year old Robinson didn't even know
what bitcoin was, he tells ABC seven. I'm not real
great with all these modern things. In confusion.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Oh he did it.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
He called the number in the email to inform them
he had not made the purchase. The man on the
phone said if he didn't want the bitcoin, he was
going to have to give all twenty four five hundred
dollars worth of the bitcoin back. You've heard these stories.
The scammer got super aggressive over the phone, remained on
the line as Unfortunately, Robinson took out the cash at
(07:46):
his area bank. Same day he took out the money,
the guy stopped to his home to collect it. That's
where he messed up because just as this was happening,
Robinson's daughter, Lynn Markovich, stopped by for a random visit,
and while the scammer was in the driveway, his daughter
pulled up and sensed immediately something was not right here
(08:09):
and actually decided to memorize the guy's license plate. Robinson
didn't want to report the incident the bank teller, but
also felt very strange about the withdrawal, and those are
the people that decided to get deputies involved.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
With that license plate info.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
They tracked down the suspect, found who he was, and
if you can believe it, got it all back. Very
cool moment for Lapierre County Sheriff's Office. Lieutenant Robert Wells.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Met them down there at the house and executed the
search for it and recovered the twenty four five hundred dollars.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
How many cases in your career have you had? We're
in these scams you get every single sent back for
the victim one and this is it unreal.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
So good job's daughter and all of us with parents
that can fall prey to this, just help them out.
Remind them, don't do any of that, don't click the links,
don't get on the phone, just be a millennial and
don't pick up any calls.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
People scamming elderly are literally the scum of the earth. Like,
it's so sad. I'm so happy that they were able
to retrieve all that guy's much well good news.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
On top of it, they found out this guy was
a part of multiple scams on the East side of Michigan.
So they are going to have quite a few questions.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Well, this had been a story last November after some
duties were stripped of a New York City church priest
after he allowed Sabrina Carpenter to film provocative scenes for
the Feather music video. It was announced yesterday he has
now been stripped of old duties after church officials say
(09:50):
an investigation revealed other instances of mismanagement. Monsignor Jamie Gantiello
relieved of any pastoral oversight or governance roll at his
Catholic church located in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, the
area bishop said in a statement released by the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn yesterday. An investigation launched after Sabrina's
(10:13):
video realized revealed the Month Senior made unauthorized financial transfers
to a former top aide in New York City Mayor
Eric Adams administration, which is also being investigated on charges
of corruption. It's very interesting stuff. The investigation launched after
(10:33):
the video also found that the priest was doing some
recordings of different church meetings. It was brought to their
attention that a deacon had also been relieved after he
used racist and other offensive language during private conversations in
the parish. Yeah, the Month Senior has not responded to
email or Facebook messages seeking comment.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Wow, there was a lot there from Suprea Garner to
Eric Adams and back again.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Can't do those things you're not supposed to.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Dax Shepherd on the arm Chair Expert podcast had a
bit of an awkward moment with Wicked actress Cynthia Arrivo
on their latest episode, and it's getting a bit of blowback.
Cynthia is serving up a little clap back after being
asked a very interesting question.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Can I ask you a really crazy question, so appropriate
when you're wiping your butt?
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I knew you would ask that question nobody because no,
no one's afraid to ask you asking that. Everybody asked
the question. No answer is nobody uses just their fingers
to wipe their backside.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You use tissue? No, sure, correct? Now are you offended
by that question? Are you like, I get it?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Well, you're annoyed.
Speaker 8 (11:46):
I'm annoyed by it. I'm like, come on, guys, but
I get it. But it's also like, I'm a functioning adult.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
So they brought up her super long nails, and that's
when he brought up this question, and you can even
see watching video the podcast, She's like, really, this is
what we're gonna this is what we're gonna talk about.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Okay, I did not know that that was where that
podcast goes. They ask all the tough questions. Apparently I
want to know.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
And finally, there is a new addition to the voice
fresh off of his baby News. It was revealed last
night Machine Gun Kelly is going to be joining the
popular competition show. The singer, real name Coulson Baker, will
make his debut on the show coming up November nineteenth.
He will actually join Gwen Stefani as her playoff advisor,
(12:35):
and he's already gotten a little bit of practice with this.
It was a clue clip exclusively shared by Gwen.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
You have a good smile too, so maybe a cracker smile.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I long or night.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I let people know they can be close to you. Lyrically.
It's a lot of words.
Speaker 10 (12:47):
When you have any moment when there is no lyrics though,
because there's so many words like step away from when
I can play our guitar.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It's all about the feel.
Speaker 9 (12:54):
You have a wife and kids like they bring the
color to your life.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So it's all feel I love that.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
I love this yah right, I mean they're really really
excited to have him a part of this show.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I mean, you know, you work so hard at your
craft and so someday you can get advice from a
man named machine good Kelly.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Actually, yeah, all of your celeb scoop at West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Start Backage Fitty here on STARLINO five point seven. And
you know when you listen to the radio.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Did you say Glinda the Goodwitch?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
It's Glinda speaking of miss song lyric?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
There we go. See. I would have screwed that up
over and over again.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
That's what we're talking about, because I had the funniest
text message, and I know everyone don't lie. There is
at least one song out there. You've been singing a
certain way, probably your whole life, and when you either
have the subtitles come up on a YouTube video or
you're with a friend, that's like, hold on, what are
you saying?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Like that's just not the right lyrics.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
So my husband and son were outed to your camp
for the last few days. And everybody's talking about Shaboozi
right now because he's got the big halftime show coming
up for the Lions Thanksgiving game, and of course he's
got that huge song, a bar song, and it's been
popping up a lot to the point where Will has
heard it enough he really likes the song. So they
(14:15):
were sitting out and they're blind and he had his
little headphones and listening to some music with Chris, and
all of a.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Sudden, Chris looks at him and he's like, Buddy, what
are you singing?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
And then he texts me and he goes, everybody is
a barking gypsy? Is what will thinks Shaboozie is singing instead.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Of everybody at Barget.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Everyboddy is a barking gypsy.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Everybody at Barget gypsy, I.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Mean, which I was stunned.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I didn't even know he'd ever heard the word gypsy.
I don't think he knows what that word is. And no,
we're not gonna correct him. He's just gonna go the
rest of his life singing Shabooze a completely wrong way.
That's good parenting because I am the queen. Ask anyone
of my best friend's college roommates, Chris, I'm the queen
(15:10):
of getting lyrics wrong. One of my most favorite songs
in college was Timbaland and justin Timberlake carry Out, which
you might not remember.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So though, don't worry to take.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
My hone it because your body let me pumpt you.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
Hear me turn.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
It is in fact, not love your body, you look
like a cheerio. It is actually take my body. You're
like carry out the name of the song. And I'm
all the way to my senior year at Grand Valley before.
My best friend Katie was like, you know, it's not cheerio.
You've been singing it that way for three years and
(15:51):
he is not talking about that little honey love and Bumblebee.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
My family loves when the arrhythmic Sweet Dreams comes on
because from the time my kids were little, we sang
it with different lyrics, and now that's all they think
it is because we sing it as Sweet Dreams made
of Cheese, and they say cheese every single time that
song is.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I had a couple people message and say they sing
sweet Dreams are made of these instead of this.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I thought it was these.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I think it's it. This is so much fun, you guys,
what is your wrong lyric? Let's make this into a
karaoke thing. Six one six four five eight one oh
five seven.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I have always thought though, and I'm surprised it's not
available in vehicles, especially with how digital everything is today.
I thought at some point in time, we'd reach a
level in humanity where the lyrics would be scrolling underneath
the radio station, just so people can educate themselves. Every
car ride could be a karaoke car ride.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
That fun.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I want to look at your body like a cheerio
that song you've never gotten right, feel free to sing
it to four five eight one oh five seven, Feel
free to drop that talk back inside our iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Everybody is a barking gypsy, though, will be how I
remember Shaboozi from this point forward, Smitt, And.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Then it'll be years later at Thanksgiving when he's a
full grown adult.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Going you guys never told me.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I'm one hundred years old, and I finally discovered that
Schmitty's so salty.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yes, even during the holidays can dish out a little
salt here in there. So step up on your soapbox, Schmitty.
It's startin O five point seven. What's going on with
salty Schmidty?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Well, speaking of holidays, I think this is considered one
for so many in the hunting world. Obviously, opening day
for firearms season was this past Friday, and my husband
and son went up to the up Back on Wednesday
to do some preparation, get set, and then they just
got back last night and they did get a deer
smaller when he's not very impressed, so he told me
(17:49):
not to clap or be very interested in that or excited.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
So answer me when he says in a text.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I didn't get a very big one, so I kind
of want to go out again that I would open
my garage door to no less than three coolers full
of chopped up deer. I am salty because how in
the world do deer have so many pieces parts? And
my daughter, who is very very into this, is popping
each lid and she's like, oh wow, Dad, And he's like,
(18:18):
do you want to help me process it? And he's
gonna get the meat grinder and we're gonna be doing
you know, the I don't know, the ground chuck, the venison,
whatever you do with jerky. I'm not I'm not a
venison person, and I can tell you just based on
the amount of coolers sitting in my garage right now,
it feels like he.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Came home with six deer.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
But I also have to be very thankful because he
could have also come home with it intact and just
hung it.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
From our garage rafters for three days. Really so salty.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
I like how you're looking at that glass half full.
I mean, if he'd gotten a buck or something, he
could have put a buck poll up right in the
front yard. That had been nice.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Oh, I think that's against city ordnance in Rockbert.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Moody music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Well we've got a little bit of Christmas music drama.
Ed Sheeran claims that band Aid did not ask for
his permission to use his vocals on a new mix.
So last week the super group announced they'd be dropping
an ultimate mix of the holiday charity single Do They
Know It's Christmas in honor of its fortieth anniversary. It's
(19:28):
set to feature vocals from all four of the recorded
versions nineteen eighty four, eighty nine, two thousand and four,
and this one from twenty fourteen, which also includes Coldplay,
Sam Smith, Rita Aura. But Ed Sheeran is none too
pleased about that. He shared in his Instagram stories yesterday,
kind of commenting on a very interesting take from a
(19:51):
singer named fuz Odg who said ten years ago he
declined to be a part of that twenty fourteen release.
I recognize the harm initiatives like this inflict on Africa.
While they may generate sympathy and donations, this is from fuse.
They perpetuate damaging stereotypes that stifle Africa's economic growth, tourism
(20:13):
and investment, ultimately costing the continent trillions and destroying its dignity, pride,
and identity. He goes on to say quite a bit more.
Ed shared that and then said, my approval was not
sought on this new band AID forty release, and had
I had the choice, I would have respectfully declined the
use of my vocals.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
A decade on.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
My understanding of the narrative associated with this has changed,
eloquently explained by Fuse, this is just my personal stance,
and I'm hoping it's a forward looking one.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It's an interesting take that I really had not ever
heard before.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
It is worth reading through.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
He makes some really solid points, saying listen, this is
pity versus partnership and it does not help the people
of Africa.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I do have it up for you. At West Michigan
Star dot com.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
John Stamos on the receiving end of serious backlash after
deciding to wear a bald cap in an effort to
show solidarity with his good friend Dave Coolier, who is
of course undergoing cancer treatment.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
This was really interesting. He shared a.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Picture of the two of them yesterday and then said
nothing like throwing on a bald cap and flexing some
photoshop skills to show some love and solidarity with my
bro d Coolier, of course, was diagnosed with stage three lymphoma.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Not great.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Some fans, a lot actually in the comments, took a
very interesting take on this, saying I'm sorry, but as
a breast cancer survivor, this is not support. This is
a joke. That is not how you support us. Another
one slamming him and saying, why the bald cap. You
could have supported your friend without quote unquote pretending to
shave your head. If my friend did this to me,
(21:59):
I'd be actually pretty offended. Hey, look at me with
my fake bald head that I can take off whenever
I want. Honestly, I saw this post yesterday and it
did feel very cringey to me.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I'm certain John Stamos thought about it exactly zero percent
before posting that.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Hasn't that worse?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Maybe I think it's a little worse. Would it be
pretty amazing to see one of the most famous heads
of hair of all time actually shave his head for
his friend. That'd be pretty cool to see.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Finally, Madonna giving fans a major update on her long
delayed biopic, suggesting it might not get made. She took
to social yesterday venting her frustration about having spent four
years on the project with nothing still to show for it.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
She's also asking fans for help.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Should this be a feature film or maybe a TV series?
She wrote, after struggling for days in LA listening to
producers and agents tell me why I couldn't make my film,
I realized everything in my life is going to be challenged.
No so easy rides for me. I guess I should
be grateful. It forces me to think outside the box.
I didn't have a normal life, and I cannot make
(23:07):
this in a normal way. On the other side of it,
rumor is producers were stunned at the more than one
hundred million dollar budget she wanted for this biopic.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I mean it is with Donna, Like one hundred million
dollars when you're talking about the Queen of pop basically
sounds right about it?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Do you I think fature film or TV series? That's
what she's asking fans today.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
She should do feature film, TV series. Don't do it
that cheapens it.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
I feel like, see, she thinks she's had such a
crazy wildlife it should be a series on a streaming service,
so it'll be interesting if she's shopping that around. I've
got the update for you with your scoop at West
Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
She's Goetal five point seven. It's package any time for
your Christmas quiz and looking to get you to the

We've got your family's tickets ready if you tell us
the Christmas quiz answer what is the most common scent
found during the holiday season.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I mean, that's hard.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I like, I mean, obviously, I love the smell of
the pines that come with Christmas trees. Yeah, I love
it when I walk in and then I know somebody's
got a fake Christmas tree, but they must have a
candle or like, yeah, freeze somewhere with pineam My mom.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Did the greatest thing. I remember.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
She had these really cute Santa boot like candle holders
and she would always make sure there were fresh pine
twigs in them every Christmas. And that is like the
smell I associate with nostalgia Christmas.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I'm gonna steal them from her this year and do
the same thing in my house.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Six one six, four five eight, one oh five seven
pretending to be classy out here collars seven? What is
the most common scent found during the holiday season? And
you're headed to the Winter wonder Walk this weekend at
LMCU Ballpark with our friends at the Christmas.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Light Show.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Stalino fine point seven. We just played side by side
Michael Bubla songs just a couple of minutes back high.
Who's the good morning? It's Colleen, Colleen. What do you know?
Michael bou Blay side by side, Colleen. That means you're
qualified to win Santa's Side by Side. God heck, yes,
(25:15):
you got a chance to maybe win that cf Moto
side by side or the dirt bikes that we're going
to start giving away starting this Friday, the very first
big drawing, and Colleen, you are in it.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
Oh my gosh, thank you so much.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
You just made my day for the sunshine.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Well, hopefully we're going to make your Christmas too, And
no matter what, you're going to pick up a pass

displays and lights this year.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Awesome.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
And you're listening for side by Side Michael Boo Blay
songs all day long. Today your chance to get qualified
to win Santa's Side by Side from Platinum Power Sports
in Rockford and Colomba. You're on Star one O five
point seven point seven. Good morning into you. It's Mac
and Schmitty, And of course during the holiday season, we
don't like to be on Santa's nicely, Schmitty. And I'd
(26:06):
like to think that I do nice things for people
throughout the entirety of the year, and that you listening
right now and yourself do as well. You want to
do for others. But what's the kind gesture someone can
do for you that actually annoys you? Because I had
like a full circle moment when I was at my
air yesterday, Schmitty, where I was just grabbing the door.
It was one of those side doors that you actually
have to pull open, not the automatic doors obviously, and
(26:29):
there was a gentleman who was in his elderly years,
let's put it that way any reason, moving kind of slow,
and he was maybe like fifteen feet behind me. So
I get up there and I'm a chronic door opener
opening for everybody all the time automatic for me.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
We're Midwesterners.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
So I opened that door up schmitty and he's like,
he's like, that's okay, go ahead, and I'm like, got
no place to be. I doesn't just say it. In factly,
he goes I said, I got it, and he walks
on through, and I'm like, oh, man, I.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Would have gone inside.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Usually if it's the gruff enough voice, you know, it's
somebody trying to be like I don't want the hut.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
And I was like, man, I was just trying to
do something nice. Now. No, there was no thank you,
there was none of that. I don't really care, but
it just kind of bugged me a little bit. I'm like,
you know, you do something nice for somebody, you want
a little like a nod of the head.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
At least she was having a little scroogy day. Happens
to the best of us.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
And then I thought about myself as I was leaving
this store, because I had a wonderful cashier that did
something nice for me that I absolutely hate. She double
bags everything that I bought. She double bagged with plastic bags.
It's not like just milk or something heavy. There was
boxes of cereal that weighed like nothing, and she's double
(27:35):
bagging everything. She's like, don't want these to rip, And
in my head I'm like, please stop it. I don't
want all of these plastic bags. Thank you for loading
me up with twice as much trash. I'm sure the
landfills and everybody else really appreciates it. And then in
my head, I'm like, hey, remember that thing about nice
gestures and not being a jerk when somebody's just trying
to be nice to you.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Because the other side of that is the annoying person
that's like, did you see me in all of my
reusable bags that I brought today?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I'm such a good person.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I have never been able to remember those ever in
my life, schmitty. Have you brought any of those over there?
Speaker 10 (28:08):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (28:08):
No? But I'm always standing behind the person that looks
at you like you're a bad person because you did.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Is there a gesture that is nice thing that just
bugs the heck out of you?
Speaker 10 (28:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I don't. I mean, I'm just a bad person.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I asked this on Facebook and Carla Gottis with the
Midwest Wave Schmitty waving someone through at a four way stop,
but it's clearly their turn. It just takes more time.
I'm sorry. We're from Michigan. Isn't that what you're supposed
to do?
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Wave? Every time We'll go right out at your that one.
I will follow you.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Sometimes because I get a good feel wells and put
some positivity on your plate. Right now feeling good on
Star Wono five, Floyd seven, Mack and Schmitty hanging out.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Man, it's not often probably that we hear something really
awesome about gen Z. Not to be disparaging, but this
is a pretty cool partnership. A group of high school
students that have come up with an incredible way to
help out at a Florida senior living facility. That's right,
Cannonbury's School in Fort Myers, Florida has created a very
(29:09):
cool group.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, it's called CLEO. It stands for Computer Literacy Education Outreach.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
So what do they do.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
They go in and help those living in the senior
living facility learn technology everything you can imagine up. For instance,
John has been trying to text a picture.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Go to photos icon, do I poke it? Yeah, click it,
and that's all there is too yeaut.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Or maybe Nancy who has been wanting to clean out
her email inbox for the first time.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Ever, thousand emails.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
It's an incredible partnership and even cooler when the devices
turn off, the conversations continue. It's an idea that's spread.
They actually hang out with unlikely friends.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Those young people are just it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
And they have so much patience with us.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Many schools started at Cleo Club.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I think now we're up to around a dozen chapters.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Yeah, CBS was on scene to catch some of those
real life friendships.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Great video at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I did love John on there saying like, I just
poke it. I poke very cool, all right, Spenny, This
one kind of got to me personally because my lovely wife,
who's going to kill me for saying this out loud
on the radio. She will be turning forty for the
first time in just over a month for the first time,
and I will say that this is one heck of
a gift done by this Virginia couple, Andrew and his wife,
(30:39):
Jennifer Dewey. They've been volunteering at this Chesapeake Animal Services
for over a year now. Jennifer actually joking around that
it's been both beneficial, of course for the animals, but
for their marriage as well. Saying it's a cost effective
alternative to marriage therapy. Well, they're pet owners, but they
also have been grieving recently as they lost one of
their dogs. We've all been there, and Jennifer has been
(31:01):
taking it extra heart. And so Andrew wanted to lift
his wife's spirits for her fortieth birthday and came up
with an incredible idea. Get this, Andrew decided that he
was going to do an adoption set up for his wife.
Listen to these numbers, and.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
I initially asked how many kennels we had, and conveniently
they are actually forty dog kennels. I thought it was
fitting that forty kennels and fortieth birthday that they went
hand in hand.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
They went hand in hand. So he actually paid for
the adoptions for forty different shelter animals in honor of
his wife's fortieth birthday, a gesture. She was very moved
by it.
Speaker 10 (31:42):
It's so nice to note that he just understands my
heart and knows what I value most, you know, and
is supportive enough to even do a gesture like that,
which was very big, and it just really meant a.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Lot, just really meant a lot. I think that was
one incredible birth. Thank gift right there. Take some notes, gentlemen,
but Feeling Good is always here to bring you some positivity,
bring you those cool stories that make your day a
little bit better, and we'll do it again for you tomorrow,
six forty five and nine twenty all brought to you

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday starting at six
am on Star one oh five point seven
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on West Michigan's Christmas station,
Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Good morning, Smitty, Hey, good morning. Welcome into a wet
Tuesday out there with scattered showers across West Michigan. Gonna
be going on this morning. I's near sixty but you
know what it's gonna be. The warmest day of the
week is we'll get a little bit chillier. And if
you're one of those people who's been waiting on the
first snow of the year, well they say it's possible
in the next few days, because we're definitely gonna get
(00:26):
a lot colder over the next couple This.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Is an awesome living here.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
It's gonna be sixty one today and then it could
snow by Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Man, we get it all. Santa's missing out living up
there in that North Pole.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You're non kidding. We do get a little bit of
everything here. But you know what, that's part of coming
with West Michigan. You were just talking about how you
were a little bummed that your clicker stopped working so
you couldn't get.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
An agree I were garage clicker.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, super annoying, right, I have this thing at mo
with my garage at home. Do you never leave something
that works just enough so that you don't replace it,
so that you don't fix it. That's the garage door
open at my house.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Sorry, No, I have discount door of Grand Rapids, So
I got a brand new garage door, y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
And I'm loving life.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I sit there and I back out of my garage
in the morning, and I sit there and I push
the button and I have maybe about a fifty percent
success rate as to whether or not I'm gonna have
to get out of my car, go into the garage,
push the button, and then do the Indiana Jones step
outside of the garage door.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
As you should actually really call thisscount dorcs. It's only
gonna get worse than the winter, you know. I listen
to Michael.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Well, this is a very scary thing that, like I said,
has raised major red flags about the security protocol for
the royal family. The royal estate where Prince William and
Kate Middleton live with their kids, faced a burglary last month. Yesterday,
local police finally confirmed. Windsor Castle, one of the many
(01:56):
estates owned by the family, and we're William and Kate.
Their primary residence was burglarized, with two suspects breaking onto
the grounds.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Apparently.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Valley Police said they occurred on October thirteenth.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
That was a Sunday night.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Somehow suspects made their way onto the royal land at
eleven forty five pm local time. They broke into a
farm building where they were then able to take off
with a pickup truck and a quad bike. Somehow they
scaled the security fence and then busted through the barrier
to make their escape, and these suspects remain at large now.
(02:34):
Police say that King Charles the Third and Queen Camilla
were not there. However, William, Kate and the kids were
asleep just about a mile away. So really scary stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's insane to me, especially because I think of any
time you have to steal it from like a prince
set a castle, there needs to be some sort of
Ocean's eleven herculean effort in order to steal any sound
like that.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
They put masks on, climbed a fence and were able
to make their way under the ground before anybody knew
anything very interesting. Kim Kardashian has apparently turned to technology
for friendship. The reality star has got her hands on
her very own Tesla robot. The Skims founder posted the
interaction with her brand new Optimist Personal Assistant robot. This
(03:21):
was just introduced by Elon Musk last month, and she
seems pretty blown away by what it can do.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Okay, can you do this?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I love you?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Oh you know how to do that?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Okay, what should we do?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Go running?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Let's go for a run.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Okay, if you have not seen this video yet, it
is creepy, this thing. So she makes the tailor's swift
heart next to it, and he like moves his hand,
he jogs, he waves, he blows, kisses, he plays rock
paper scissors like. She is completely blown away by what
the thing can do. Now, apparently the Optimist units will
(04:03):
cost somewhere between twenty and thirty thousand dollars when they
finally go on sale to the public.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I mean, when we get to Alice mode from the Jetsons,
where this thing is cleaning my house and making me
a sandwich, I'm willing to drop it. I'm ready to.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Are you the rape, even if that sandwich is poisoned
because the robots are taking over. Because I'm not there yet.
I'm not feeling confident enough. I've seen all the terminators.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Alice would never all right.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Finally, Lindsey Lohan admits she loved the Minnesota Vikings touchdown
celebration from a few weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
If you missed it, it was really cool.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
They took on the jets last month towards the end
there and when they got a touchdown, they did the
parent Trap special handshake. She was on Jimmy Fallon and
said it was definitely cool.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
I know Nancy Myers was the person who sent it
to me and showed me who directed the Parent Traps.
The coolest thing, so coolest, liting like the doing movie,
like the Parent Drop, and then it's a crossover into
sports players doing it. Such a cool feeling and that's
not an easy handshake to learn.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah, she said, actually, I'm really impressed. The kneeled every
single move. That took me weeks to learn for the movie.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
My question is how old were those players with that
movie came out? Were they?
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Ya?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Gosh, way to be a bummer buzz kill.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
If you want to see the videol Lindsay also had
some really cool things to say about the new Netflix movie.
It's with your scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Sometimes because I get a good feeling, always here to
put a little positivity into your morning. Thanks for sharing
it with us, Mack and Schmidti here on Star with
feeling good right now, SCHMITTI. And if you're somebody who,
by chance doesn't feel like maybe great actors or entertainers
deserve recognition from our governments, well you know who's not
a big fan of them either.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Actors so centered and a racious.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
You do realize that I'm an actor, the only one
I know, the one and only Betty White. Schmidti is
getting her very own stamp. Yeah, this was really cool
news yesterday, the United States Postal Service announcing that Betty
White get to be honored with her very own stamp
next year. It's actually from one of her autobiographies back
(06:12):
in twenty ten, a photograph taken by Kawaku Alston. But yeah,
seven decade career of course, Mary Tyler Moore Show and
the Golden Girls, and man, when I played this theme
just this morning to mid it just felt good.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Honestly, She's incredible and hot in Cleveland. That is a
such a fun watch if you find it on streaming.
It is a feel good show. And those women together
are as good as the Golden Girls. Yeah, next year
would have marked the third year. This year would have
been the third year, since you're passing right before her
one hundredth birthday. All right, So boy o boy, are
you thankful for a daughter like this? An eighty five
(06:46):
year old Lapierre County man lost almost twenty five thousand
dollars in a bitcoin scam, but thanks to his daughter's
quick thinking, he got it all back. Andrew Robinson has
and living in retirement after working decades at GM, but
some of that retirement joy was taken advantage of last
(07:09):
month when he received an email congratulating him about his
bitcoin purchase. Eighty five year old Robinson didn't even know
what bitcoin was, he tells ABC seven. I'm not real
great with all these modern things. In confusion.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Oh he did it.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
He called the number in the email to inform them
he had not made the purchase. The man on the
phone said if he didn't want the bitcoin, he was
going to have to give all twenty four five hundred
dollars worth of the bitcoin back. You've heard these stories.
The scammer got super aggressive over the phone, remained on
the line as Unfortunately, Robinson took out the cash at
(07:46):
his area bank. Same day he took out the money,
the guy stopped to his home to collect it. That's
where he messed up because just as this was happening,
Robinson's daughter, Lynn Markovich, stopped by for a random visit,
and while the scammer was in the driveway, his daughter
pulled up and sensed immediately something was not right here
(08:09):
and actually decided to memorize the guy's license plate. Robinson
didn't want to report the incident the bank teller, but
also felt very strange about the withdrawal, and those are
the people that decided to get deputies involved.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
With that license plate info.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
They tracked down the suspect, found who he was, and
if you can believe it, got it all back. Very
cool moment for Lapierre County Sheriff's Office. Lieutenant Robert Wells.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Met them down there at the house and executed the
search for it and recovered the twenty four five hundred dollars.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
How many cases in your career have you had? We're
in these scams you get every single sent back for
the victim one and this is it unreal.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
So good job's daughter and all of us with parents
that can fall prey to this, just help them out.
Remind them, don't do any of that, don't click the links,
don't get on the phone, just be a millennial and
don't pick up any calls.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
People scamming elderly are literally the scum of the earth. Like,
it's so sad. I'm so happy that they were able
to retrieve all that guy's much well good news.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
On top of it, they found out this guy was
a part of multiple scams on the East side of Michigan.
So they are going to have quite a few questions.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Well, this had been a story last November after some
duties were stripped of a New York City church priest
after he allowed Sabrina Carpenter to film provocative scenes for
the Feather music video. It was announced yesterday he has
now been stripped of old duties after church officials say
(09:50):
an investigation revealed other instances of mismanagement. Monsignor Jamie Gantiello
relieved of any pastoral oversight or governance roll at his
Catholic church located in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, the
area bishop said in a statement released by the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn yesterday. An investigation launched after Sabrina's
(10:13):
video realized revealed the Month Senior made unauthorized financial transfers
to a former top aide in New York City Mayor
Eric Adams administration, which is also being investigated on charges
of corruption. It's very interesting stuff. The investigation launched after
(10:33):
the video also found that the priest was doing some
recordings of different church meetings. It was brought to their
attention that a deacon had also been relieved after he
used racist and other offensive language during private conversations in
the parish. Yeah, the Month Senior has not responded to
email or Facebook messages seeking comment.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Wow, there was a lot there from Suprea Garner to
Eric Adams and back again.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Can't do those things you're not supposed to.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Dax Shepherd on the arm Chair Expert podcast had a
bit of an awkward moment with Wicked actress Cynthia Arrivo
on their latest episode, and it's getting a bit of blowback.
Cynthia is serving up a little clap back after being
asked a very interesting question.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Can I ask you a really crazy question, so appropriate
when you're wiping your butt?
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I knew you would ask that question nobody because no,
no one's afraid to ask you asking that. Everybody asked
the question. No answer is nobody uses just their fingers
to wipe their backside.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You use tissue? No, sure, correct? Now are you offended
by that question? Are you like, I get it?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Well, you're annoyed.
Speaker 8 (11:46):
I'm annoyed by it. I'm like, come on, guys, but
I get it. But it's also like, I'm a functioning adult.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
So they brought up her super long nails, and that's
when he brought up this question, and you can even
see watching video the podcast, She's like, really, this is
what we're gonna this is what we're gonna talk about.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Okay, I did not know that that was where that
podcast goes. They ask all the tough questions. Apparently I
want to know.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
And finally, there is a new addition to the voice
fresh off of his baby News. It was revealed last
night Machine Gun Kelly is going to be joining the
popular competition show. The singer, real name Coulson Baker, will
make his debut on the show coming up November nineteenth.
He will actually join Gwen Stefani as her playoff advisor,
(12:35):
and he's already gotten a little bit of practice with this.
It was a clue clip exclusively shared by Gwen.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
You have a good smile too, so maybe a cracker smile.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I long or night.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I let people know they can be close to you. Lyrically.
It's a lot of words.
Speaker 10 (12:47):
When you have any moment when there is no lyrics though,
because there's so many words like step away from when
I can play our guitar.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It's all about the feel.
Speaker 9 (12:54):
You have a wife and kids like they bring the
color to your life.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So it's all feel I love that.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
I love this yah right, I mean they're really really
excited to have him a part of this show.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I mean, you know, you work so hard at your
craft and so someday you can get advice from a
man named machine good Kelly.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Actually, yeah, all of your celeb scoop at West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Start Backage Fitty here on STARLINO five point seven. And
you know when you listen to the radio.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Did you say Glinda the Goodwitch?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
It's Glinda speaking of miss song lyric?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
There we go. See. I would have screwed that up
over and over again.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
That's what we're talking about, because I had the funniest
text message, and I know everyone don't lie. There is
at least one song out there. You've been singing a
certain way, probably your whole life, and when you either
have the subtitles come up on a YouTube video or
you're with a friend, that's like, hold on, what are
you saying?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Like that's just not the right lyrics.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
So my husband and son were outed to your camp
for the last few days. And everybody's talking about Shaboozi
right now because he's got the big halftime show coming
up for the Lions Thanksgiving game, and of course he's
got that huge song, a bar song, and it's been
popping up a lot to the point where Will has
heard it enough he really likes the song. So they
(14:15):
were sitting out and they're blind and he had his
little headphones and listening to some music with Chris, and
all of a.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Sudden, Chris looks at him and he's like, Buddy, what
are you singing?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
And then he texts me and he goes, everybody is
a barking gypsy? Is what will thinks Shaboozie is singing instead.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Of everybody at Barget.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Everyboddy is a barking gypsy.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Everybody at Barget gypsy, I.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Mean, which I was stunned.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I didn't even know he'd ever heard the word gypsy.
I don't think he knows what that word is. And no,
we're not gonna correct him. He's just gonna go the
rest of his life singing Shabooze a completely wrong way.
That's good parenting because I am the queen. Ask anyone
of my best friend's college roommates, Chris, I'm the queen
(15:10):
of getting lyrics wrong. One of my most favorite songs
in college was Timbaland and justin Timberlake carry Out, which
you might not remember.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So though, don't worry to take.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
My hone it because your body let me pumpt you.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
Hear me turn.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
It is in fact, not love your body, you look
like a cheerio. It is actually take my body. You're
like carry out the name of the song. And I'm
all the way to my senior year at Grand Valley before.
My best friend Katie was like, you know, it's not cheerio.
You've been singing it that way for three years and
(15:51):
he is not talking about that little honey love and Bumblebee.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
My family loves when the arrhythmic Sweet Dreams comes on
because from the time my kids were little, we sang
it with different lyrics, and now that's all they think
it is because we sing it as Sweet Dreams made
of Cheese, and they say cheese every single time that
song is.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I had a couple people message and say they sing
sweet Dreams are made of these instead of this.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I thought it was these.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I think it's it. This is so much fun, you guys,
what is your wrong lyric? Let's make this into a
karaoke thing. Six one six four five eight one oh
five seven.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I have always thought though, and I'm surprised it's not
available in vehicles, especially with how digital everything is today.
I thought at some point in time, we'd reach a
level in humanity where the lyrics would be scrolling underneath
the radio station, just so people can educate themselves. Every
car ride could be a karaoke car ride.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
That fun.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I want to look at your body like a cheerio
that song you've never gotten right, feel free to sing
it to four five eight one oh five seven, Feel
free to drop that talk back inside our iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Everybody is a barking gypsy, though, will be how I
remember Shaboozi from this point forward, Smitt, And.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Then it'll be years later at Thanksgiving when he's a
full grown adult.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Going you guys never told me.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I'm one hundred years old, and I finally discovered that
Schmitty's so salty.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yes, even during the holidays can dish out a little
salt here in there. So step up on your soapbox, Schmitty.
It's startin O five point seven. What's going on with
salty Schmidty?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Well, speaking of holidays, I think this is considered one
for so many in the hunting world. Obviously, opening day
for firearms season was this past Friday, and my husband
and son went up to the up Back on Wednesday
to do some preparation, get set, and then they just
got back last night and they did get a deer
smaller when he's not very impressed, so he told me
(17:49):
not to clap or be very interested in that or excited.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
So answer me when he says in a text.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I didn't get a very big one, so I kind
of want to go out again that I would open
my garage door to no less than three coolers full
of chopped up deer. I am salty because how in
the world do deer have so many pieces parts? And
my daughter, who is very very into this, is popping
each lid and she's like, oh wow, Dad, And he's like,
(18:18):
do you want to help me process it? And he's
gonna get the meat grinder and we're gonna be doing
you know, the I don't know, the ground chuck, the venison,
whatever you do with jerky. I'm not I'm not a
venison person, and I can tell you just based on
the amount of coolers sitting in my garage right now,
it feels like he.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Came home with six deer.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
But I also have to be very thankful because he
could have also come home with it intact and just
hung it.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
From our garage rafters for three days. Really so salty.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
I like how you're looking at that glass half full.
I mean, if he'd gotten a buck or something, he
could have put a buck poll up right in the
front yard. That had been nice.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Oh, I think that's against city ordnance in Rockbert.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Moody music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Well we've got a little bit of Christmas music drama.
Ed Sheeran claims that band Aid did not ask for
his permission to use his vocals on a new mix.
So last week the super group announced they'd be dropping
an ultimate mix of the holiday charity single Do They
Know It's Christmas in honor of its fortieth anniversary. It's
(19:28):
set to feature vocals from all four of the recorded
versions nineteen eighty four, eighty nine, two thousand and four,
and this one from twenty fourteen, which also includes Coldplay,
Sam Smith, Rita Aura. But Ed Sheeran is none too
pleased about that. He shared in his Instagram stories yesterday,
kind of commenting on a very interesting take from a
(19:51):
singer named fuz Odg who said ten years ago he
declined to be a part of that twenty fourteen release.
I recognize the harm initiatives like this inflict on Africa.
While they may generate sympathy and donations, this is from fuse.
They perpetuate damaging stereotypes that stifle Africa's economic growth, tourism
(20:13):
and investment, ultimately costing the continent trillions and destroying its dignity, pride,
and identity. He goes on to say quite a bit more.
Ed shared that and then said, my approval was not
sought on this new band AID forty release, and had
I had the choice, I would have respectfully declined the
use of my vocals.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
A decade on.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
My understanding of the narrative associated with this has changed,
eloquently explained by Fuse, this is just my personal stance,
and I'm hoping it's a forward looking one.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It's an interesting take that I really had not ever
heard before.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
It is worth reading through.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
He makes some really solid points, saying listen, this is
pity versus partnership and it does not help the people
of Africa.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I do have it up for you. At West Michigan
Star dot com.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
John Stamos on the receiving end of serious backlash after
deciding to wear a bald cap in an effort to
show solidarity with his good friend Dave Coolier, who is
of course undergoing cancer treatment.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
This was really interesting. He shared a.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Picture of the two of them yesterday and then said
nothing like throwing on a bald cap and flexing some
photoshop skills to show some love and solidarity with my
bro d Coolier, of course, was diagnosed with stage three lymphoma.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Not great.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Some fans, a lot actually in the comments, took a
very interesting take on this, saying I'm sorry, but as
a breast cancer survivor, this is not support. This is
a joke. That is not how you support us. Another
one slamming him and saying, why the bald cap. You
could have supported your friend without quote unquote pretending to
shave your head. If my friend did this to me,
(21:59):
I'd be actually pretty offended. Hey, look at me with
my fake bald head that I can take off whenever
I want. Honestly, I saw this post yesterday and it
did feel very cringey to me.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I'm certain John Stamos thought about it exactly zero percent
before posting that.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Hasn't that worse?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Maybe I think it's a little worse. Would it be
pretty amazing to see one of the most famous heads
of hair of all time actually shave his head for
his friend. That'd be pretty cool to see.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Finally, Madonna giving fans a major update on her long
delayed biopic, suggesting it might not get made. She took
to social yesterday venting her frustration about having spent four
years on the project with nothing still to show for it.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
She's also asking fans for help.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Should this be a feature film or maybe a TV series?
She wrote, after struggling for days in LA listening to
producers and agents tell me why I couldn't make my film,
I realized everything in my life is going to be challenged.
No so easy rides for me. I guess I should
be grateful. It forces me to think outside the box.
I didn't have a normal life, and I cannot make
(23:07):
this in a normal way. On the other side of it,
rumor is producers were stunned at the more than one
hundred million dollar budget she wanted for this biopic.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I mean it is with Donna, Like one hundred million
dollars when you're talking about the Queen of pop basically
sounds right about it?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Do you I think fature film or TV series? That's
what she's asking fans today.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
She should do feature film, TV series. Don't do it
that cheapens it.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
I feel like, see, she thinks she's had such a
crazy wildlife it should be a series on a streaming service,
so it'll be interesting if she's shopping that around. I've
got the update for you with your scoop at West
Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
She's Goetal five point seven. It's package any time for
your Christmas quiz and looking to get you to the
LMCU Ballpark this weekend for their incredible Winter wonder Walk.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
We've got your family's tickets ready if you tell us
the Christmas quiz answer what is the most common scent
found during the holiday season.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I mean, that's hard.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I like, I mean, obviously, I love the smell of
the pines that come with Christmas trees. Yeah, I love
it when I walk in and then I know somebody's
got a fake Christmas tree, but they must have a
candle or like, yeah, freeze somewhere with pineam My mom.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Did the greatest thing. I remember.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
She had these really cute Santa boot like candle holders
and she would always make sure there were fresh pine
twigs in them every Christmas. And that is like the
smell I associate with nostalgia Christmas.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I'm gonna steal them from her this year and do
the same thing in my house.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Six one six, four five eight, one oh five seven
pretending to be classy out here collars seven? What is
the most common scent found during the holiday season? And
you're headed to the Winter wonder Walk this weekend at
LMCU Ballpark with our friends at the Christmas.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Light Show.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Stalino fine point seven. We just played side by side
Michael Bubla songs just a couple of minutes back high.
Who's the good morning? It's Colleen, Colleen. What do you know?
Michael bou Blay side by side, Colleen. That means you're
qualified to win Santa's Side by Side. God heck, yes,
(25:15):
you got a chance to maybe win that cf Moto
side by side or the dirt bikes that we're going
to start giving away starting this Friday, the very first
big drawing, and Colleen, you are in it.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
Oh my gosh, thank you so much.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
You just made my day for the sunshine.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Well, hopefully we're going to make your Christmas too, And
no matter what, you're going to pick up a pass
for the Christmas Lights Show there at LMCU Ballpark so
you can get up there and enjoy all those incredible
displays and lights this year.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Awesome.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
And you're listening for side by Side Michael Boo Blay
songs all day long. Today your chance to get qualified
to win Santa's Side by Side from Platinum Power Sports
in Rockford and Colomba. You're on Star one O five
point seven point seven. Good morning into you. It's Mac
and Schmitty, And of course during the holiday season, we
don't like to be on Santa's nicely, Schmitty. And I'd
(26:06):
like to think that I do nice things for people
throughout the entirety of the year, and that you listening
right now and yourself do as well. You want to
do for others. But what's the kind gesture someone can
do for you that actually annoys you? Because I had
like a full circle moment when I was at my
air yesterday, Schmitty, where I was just grabbing the door.
It was one of those side doors that you actually
have to pull open, not the automatic doors obviously, and
(26:29):
there was a gentleman who was in his elderly years,
let's put it that way any reason, moving kind of slow,
and he was maybe like fifteen feet behind me. So
I get up there and I'm a chronic door opener
opening for everybody all the time automatic for me.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
We're Midwesterners.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
So I opened that door up schmitty and he's like,
he's like, that's okay, go ahead, and I'm like, got
no place to be. I doesn't just say it. In factly,
he goes I said, I got it, and he walks
on through, and I'm like, oh, man, I.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Would have gone inside.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Usually if it's the gruff enough voice, you know, it's
somebody trying to be like I don't want the hut.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
And I was like, man, I was just trying to
do something nice. Now. No, there was no thank you,
there was none of that. I don't really care, but
it just kind of bugged me a little bit. I'm like,
you know, you do something nice for somebody, you want
a little like a nod of the head.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
At least she was having a little scroogy day. Happens
to the best of us.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
And then I thought about myself as I was leaving
this store, because I had a wonderful cashier that did
something nice for me that I absolutely hate. She double
bags everything that I bought. She double bagged with plastic bags.
It's not like just milk or something heavy. There was
boxes of cereal that weighed like nothing, and she's double
(27:35):
bagging everything. She's like, don't want these to rip, And
in my head I'm like, please stop it. I don't
want all of these plastic bags. Thank you for loading
me up with twice as much trash. I'm sure the
landfills and everybody else really appreciates it. And then in
my head, I'm like, hey, remember that thing about nice
gestures and not being a jerk when somebody's just trying
to be nice to you.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Because the other side of that is the annoying person
that's like, did you see me in all of my
reusable bags that I brought today?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I'm such a good person.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I have never been able to remember those ever in
my life, schmitty. Have you brought any of those over there?
Speaker 10 (28:08):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (28:08):
No? But I'm always standing behind the person that looks
at you like you're a bad person because you did.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Is there a gesture that is nice thing that just
bugs the heck out of you?
Speaker 10 (28:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I don't. I mean, I'm just a bad person.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I asked this on Facebook and Carla Gottis with the
Midwest Wave Schmitty waving someone through at a four way stop,
but it's clearly their turn. It just takes more time.
I'm sorry. We're from Michigan. Isn't that what you're supposed
to do?
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Wave? Every time We'll go right out at your that one.
I will follow you.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Sometimes because I get a good feel wells and put
some positivity on your plate. Right now feeling good on
Star Wono five, Floyd seven, Mack and Schmitty hanging out.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Man, it's not often probably that we hear something really
awesome about gen Z. Not to be disparaging, but this
is a pretty cool partnership. A group of high school
students that have come up with an incredible way to
help out at a Florida senior living facility. That's right,
Cannonbury's School in Fort Myers, Florida has created a very
(29:09):
cool group.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, it's called CLEO. It stands for Computer Literacy Education Outreach.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
So what do they do.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
They go in and help those living in the senior
living facility learn technology everything you can imagine up. For instance,
John has been trying to text a picture.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Go to photos icon, do I poke it? Yeah, click it,
and that's all there is too yeaut.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Or maybe Nancy who has been wanting to clean out
her email inbox for the first time.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Ever, thousand emails.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
It's an incredible partnership and even cooler when the devices
turn off, the conversations continue. It's an idea that's spread.
They actually hang out with unlikely friends.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Those young people are just it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
And they have so much patience with us.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Many schools started at Cleo Club.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I think now we're up to around a dozen chapters.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Yeah, CBS was on scene to catch some of those
real life friendships.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Great video at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I did love John on there saying like, I just
poke it. I poke very cool, all right, Spenny, This
one kind of got to me personally because my lovely wife,
who's going to kill me for saying this out loud
on the radio. She will be turning forty for the
first time in just over a month for the first time,
and I will say that this is one heck of
a gift done by this Virginia couple, Andrew and his wife,
(30:39):
Jennifer Dewey. They've been volunteering at this Chesapeake Animal Services
for over a year now. Jennifer actually joking around that
it's been both beneficial, of course for the animals, but
for their marriage as well. Saying it's a cost effective
alternative to marriage therapy. Well, they're pet owners, but they
also have been grieving recently as they lost one of
their dogs. We've all been there, and Jennifer has been
(31:01):
taking it extra heart. And so Andrew wanted to lift
his wife's spirits for her fortieth birthday and came up
with an incredible idea. Get this, Andrew decided that he
was going to do an adoption set up for his wife.
Listen to these numbers, and.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
I initially asked how many kennels we had, and conveniently
they are actually forty dog kennels. I thought it was
fitting that forty kennels and fortieth birthday that they went
hand in hand.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
They went hand in hand. So he actually paid for
the adoptions for forty different shelter animals in honor of
his wife's fortieth birthday, a gesture. She was very moved
by it.
Speaker 10 (31:42):
It's so nice to note that he just understands my
heart and knows what I value most, you know, and
is supportive enough to even do a gesture like that,
which was very big, and it just really meant a.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Lot, just really meant a lot. I think that was
one incredible birth. Thank gift right there. Take some notes, gentlemen,
but Feeling Good is always here to bring you some positivity,
bring you those cool stories that make your day a
little bit better, and we'll do it again for you tomorrow,
six forty five and nine twenty all brought to you
