Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mack and Schmidty in the morning on West Michigan's Christmas
station Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Good morning Schmidt, Hey, good morning guys. Happy one day
doing the delicious day.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Oh just cover me and gravy now. Welcome back solo
parenting for a couple of days.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Eh, Yeah, didn't really feel like time off. No, I
mostly just worked from home, but you know, not waking
up at three ten in the morning, I guess is
a bit of a vacation. But thrilled to be back
you guys. I know so many of you are either
working today, or hitting the road today, or cleaning the

(00:37):
house today. I saw the best meme yesterday that said,
if any one of you is going to someone else's
house for Thanksgiving, mention the base boards because that's what
they are spending the next two days cleaning for some
odd reason. And isn't that how it feels? So we
appreciate you having us on. Maybe you're waking up with
us right now or figuring out how the kids are

(00:59):
going to be handling break. I know most West Michigan
schools are off, so we're just happy to be alongside
you for the crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Rids, movies, music and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Okay, we're gonna start with a spoiler alert. If you
did not launch the Dancing with the Stars finale last night,
turn us down for a hot second. Okay, spoiler alert,
but closing out its thirty third season unbelievable finale last
night three hours long, and fans were stunned last week

(01:36):
when none of the top five contestants were eliminated. Turns
out history was made as the Bachelor alum Joey Graza
Day took home the coveted Len Goodman mirror Ball Trophy.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Joey, tell me, how do you feel? I feel like
Jenna deserves this, Pully and this is all fair to out.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, his pro partner, Jenna Johnson is who he was
talking about. Like I said, first time ever that a
Bachelor has won that mirror Ball Trophy. The finale also
featuring special performances from Mark Ballas and Derek Huff along
with top five contestants' final performances. Pretty cool though.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
My wife and Daughna were actually watching last night and
getting my daughter was getting big time into it. She
thought Joey was a little stiff. She was very surprised.
He got all tense. I'm just saying.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Big news from Cher, confirming her retirement after more than
six decades on stage. The singer revealing at a theater
in London last night her upcoming album will be her last,
according to the son. She was discussing her career as
part of the tour for her memoir Lots of Big

(02:53):
Things dropped in that book. While on stage, she told
the Crown she was ready to wind down, but not
before are releasing her first new project since twenty thirteen,
but explaining this is probably it. I'm really excited. They
are great songs. I'm really excited that I'm doing it.
But she joked, at the age of seventy six, I'm

(03:14):
older than dirt. I'm the oldest person I meet in
almost every room, unless I'm in an old folks home.
And now that she's dishing out advice to younger women,
encouraging them to get over themselves embrace life, saying for me,
that's just looking a little different coming up soon.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
But is she still gonna wear the outfit that she
wears in the Believe video? Shmidti, that's all everybody wants
to know.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Girl doesn't plank two minutes every day not to look
phenomenal in those things. And finally, wow, well done to
the Weekend. The superstar artist hitting a massive career milestone
twenty one songs that have hit one billion streams. He
is a first artist to ever obtain this, mind boggling

(03:59):
my milestone, this one right here, lost in the fire
at the latest single to reach that milestone. That would
make him the most streamed artist with this, and how perfect.
The Billboard Music Awards are coming up on December twelfth,
so who knows how many of those he'll take home.
But I thought it was interesting to bring up because
it feels like we don't hear much about the Weekend lately,

(04:20):
and guy is still out there getting massive listening.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
It's wild to think about that because his songs like
Blinding Lines were just so big, and then he hit
the super Bowl halftime show. The Guy's had like three
top singles this year, and yet you're right, nobody's out
there going like, oh, the Weekend's everywhere. It's just like, no,
he's been everywhere for.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
A twenty one songs. Hitting a billion streams is a
pretty big deal all of your celepscut at West Michigan
Star dot.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Com sometimes on get a Good Feeling Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Stone a fine point seven, looking to get you feeling
good as you head into your Thanksgiving holiday. And you
know what this grandma right here, schmidde. She's not out
there knitting, she's not baking cookies. Well, maybe she does
both of those things. But Dona Jane Wilde's well, she
is unbelievably strong and now has two certifications to prove it.

(05:12):
Here she is talking about her first Guinness World record
that she achieved just this year alone.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
I'm Dona Gene wild I currently hold the world record
for the longest time in an abdominal plank for a female,
which is four hours, thirty minutes and eleven seconds.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Donazan Wilde, a grandmother of twelve grandchildren. SCHMITTI, fifty nine
years old. Back in March, got the Guinness World Record
for the longest plank ever by a woman, again four
hours and thirty minutes in eleven seconds, which is insanity
because I can't even I don't even think I can
plank for two minutes. But that's where her journey began,

(05:58):
and to train for that, she was doing up to
five hundred push ups a day. Well, she fell in
love with pushups, just like she fell in love with planking,
and decided, you know what, I'm just gonna go for
another world record. So she decided that she was going
to attempt the most push ups by a female in
one hour. Ever, the old record will twelve hundred and

(06:18):
seven push ups in an hour. Donna hole Lee Cow
fifteen hundred and seventy five push ups in one hour.
This grandma absolutely destroyed, smashing the world record, and while
doing it in front of all of her grandchildren's here
at are on too schmitty.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Well, hopefully I get to have some good Thanksgiving eats made.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, it is the ninth year that Wanda
Dench and Jamala Hinton, those former strangers who met thanks
to a mistaken text message, We'll be getting back together. Yes.
Wanda confirmed the news yesterday and an Instagram writing excited

(07:01):
to announce that I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year, this time
for Wanda and I looking forward to a day filled
with good food, great company, and lasting memories. Year nine
coming soon. It was met with this really great carousel
of photos from the past, including this awesome video of
one of their very first meetups.

Speaker 6 (07:21):
Oh, let me see, let me find that, let me
see that video.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
Yes, we are, we are beautiful.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
That one was especially poignant. It was the last time
that Wanda's husband was with them because remember he passed
a few years ago. Really incredible to follow this journey.
Year nine and I've got the post on our stories
at West Michigan start very sweet.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
That's the most wholesome wrong text story of all time.
It's incredible. Everybody wrong texts me. It's just the want
to steal my identity. Not the same feeling good comes
out to you a couple times a day. We always
want to make sure that your day starts with a little
positive tivity. We'll do it again this morning, coming up
at nine o'clock. You're on Star one O five point seven.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point
seven ooh.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Kristen Kavalari has no interest in reconnecting with former friend
Scott Disick, making it very clear she is not down
with the Kardashian star sliding into her DMS. She called
out Scott on the new episode of her Let's Be
Honest podcast, accusing the keeping up of the Kardashian star

(08:35):
of sending her manipulative messages under the guise of wanting
to reconnect. She actually read his DM out loud, and
he was talking about how it had been such a
long time since they last talked. He talked about the
similarities between their famous journeys and said it'd be really
great to catch up and talk about things you go
through with kids, changing your life around over and over.

(08:58):
I really miss you, and I wish it would have
reached out earlier. I've just been busy trying to be
the best dad I can be. Kristin did not hold back.
This is like classic manipulation.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
I miss you, Oh Scott, you missed me after seventeen years. No,
that timing is not lost on me. That as I'm
ripping on the Kardashians calling them out for shit, now
they want to send in Scott. This kind of goes
back to the Britney Spears thing that I was talking about.
You guys, this is Hollywood. This is Hollywood. When you're

(09:31):
out there talking and they don't like that, this is
what they do to try to silence you and control you.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
That is all I could pull because she went on
a potty mouthed tirade about this DM.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
What they did is silence and control you is said
you flattering emails. I mean, I just don't feel like
that that was that, you know, negative of a thing
to have happened to her, did you?

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I think it sounds shady as het, super shady, dude.
You don't know the Scott Disic backstory. Let me tell
you all right, if you're a vander Pump Rules fan,
you are about to see a big old change because
the og stars of the hit Bravo series our Out.
Production sources have confirmed they are rebooting the entire vander

(10:14):
Pump cast for season twelve. Now, Lisa vander Pump will
be back for the new season, but she is going
to be surrounded by a brand new group of staff
who work at her West Hollywood hotspots. Sir, Now, it
goes back to the show's original formula, taking viewers inside
her many restaurants, where, of course we see the hookups,
the fights. The drama sources say, the big stars Tom sanderbal,

(10:37):
Tom Schwartz, Ariana Maddox, Shawna Shay, James Kennedy Katie Maloney
and La La Kent were notified of the decision last night. Now,
most of the cast wasn't super surprised. The show was
put on pause back in April, and despite the shakeup,
they will still have a home at Bravo. They're being
told there's some spinoffs that are possible, but all of

(11:01):
those stars gone now, fans will get a chance to
say goodbye. They do have a retrospective special that's scheduled
to drop ahead of this new season.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
I feel like this is saved by the bell. The
new class essentially interesting.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Finally, remember that decommissioned fairy that Pete Davidson and SNL
host Colin jo just bought a couple of years ago
for two hundred and eighty grand, a deal they both
called their dumbest purchase ever. While they're making some money
on it because their boat is featured in an upcoming
horror movie about Mickey Mouse. Production says scream Boat was

(11:39):
filmed entirely on Pete and Collin's Orange Fairry. The indie
horror movie takes the original Mickey Mouse character and puts
him into a super gory horror film. Remember think steamboat
Willie with a lot of gore. Obviously, Steam What Willy
is now public domain, So this is like the second
or third movie they've made with Micky, and they hired

(12:02):
their decommissioned ferry to do all of the filming. Apparently
it started in May and then wrapped over the summer.
Apparently it's going to come out in twenty twenty five.
If you're interested in scream Boat, will you at least
they're making.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Some dough on it. I guess that funny title at least.
I mean the second that Mickey and Winnie the Pooh
went into public domain immediately was like, oh, horror movie,
got get it.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
I think there's like two or three for Winnie the Pooh,
and this is at least the second for poor Mickey.
All of your celeptscoop at West Michigan start dot com.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Good morning to you. It's Mac and Schmidty. And you
just got called out saying you would be considered the
worst wife or something. You're not doing one hundred percent?
What are you not doing?

Speaker 2 (12:40):
I turned down Lion's tickets for tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well well whoa okay, hang on, stop every right, no YO,
tell me that's not.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I tell you so if you guys are aware. Chris
and I have a very very best friend of ours
who is a Lion season ticket holder. Actually, I think
he's like the seventh lowest in history. They've had season
tickets since like nineteen fifty four. Wow, And oh gosh,
his seats are incredible. They're like six rows back from

(13:08):
the field. And he's just he's really kind with it.
It's lots of times he'll invite different friends, and so
in the past we've gone. I've gone to a couple
games in the last couple seasons, and generally he offers
us the Lions Bears tickets because I'm a Bears fan,
and he'll go with us. We had a really great

(13:29):
time with friends of ours, and then the last season
he took Chris and Will to a couple of the games.
So a few months ago he had asked us because
he was going through and kind of inventoring games, and
he said, Hey, do you guys want to go with
me to the Thanksgiving game? And I was like, they
play the Bears, don't they. He said, yeah, I thought

(13:50):
it'd be a lot of fun. And so I was like, oh,
I think about it. That sounds all right. I didn't
really want to miss family time. I really really enjoy Thanksgiving,
especially this year. Everybody was going to be all in
one place, and then then the Bears really started doing terribly.
And I'll be very honest with you, I was like, Chris,
I'm not a good sport. I don't I don't want

(14:11):
to spend my Thanksgiving watching my team get absolutely rolled,
which is I'm certain what's gonna happen tomorrow. And I thought,
in all honest to you guys, I thought if I
said no, that Chris and Malcolm would find two of
their buddies to go. I was totally good with X.
It was four tickets. I was like, no, worries you.

(14:32):
The game will be done by three point thirty. You
can head back to Lansing and meet us for dinner,
like I'll take the kids or whatever he gave him
to charity. What And Chris is so upset and he's trying,
he's being so kind about it. Well, I was like,
I'm like, oh, I'm super sorry, babe. I thought he

(14:52):
was still gonna take you. He's like, no, that's right,
it's probably you know, like a Super Bowl year and
I won't have gone to a single game. And I said,
but on the other side of it, would you have
had a good time with me at Ford Field tomorrow?
And it was a long pause and he said, no, no,
I would not have. I said so kind of sorta,
I did the right thing.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
I'll be honest with you. I was going to say
that you must not love your husband, but instead I
will say that Chris must clearly absolutely love you, because
for him to say that he wouldn't have a good
time watching his wife miserable as his team is demolishing
hers makes him a better husband than me one hundred
percent of the time, because I would be reveling in it.

(15:36):
I don't think you.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Know how bad of a sport I am. Because the
New Year's Day game last year was rough. So my
apologies to my amazing husband will be watching it on
TV like everyone else. And hey, good for the people
that been on that. They made a lot of money
for the Kidney Foundation.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
That's awesome, you know to go and plus when you
give it to charity, nobody can say anything. It's not
like Chris could have been like, man, I can't believe
you gave those kids that need kidneys this mother.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
I mean again, it canceled it He was like, hey,
those were really good seats. I was like, well, no,
we know now, we know, so we will not be
at the Lions game tomorrow. And you can totally call
or dn me and call me all sorts of names,
because I do feel seventeen percent bad about it.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
If it's a good game tomorrow, it won't be It
won't be good.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Did you see Minnesota? Did you watch the Green Bay Block?
It's not gonna be a good game, you guys.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
I hope you're right. I hope it's a great game
for lionsmans.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
If I just hold my dad's blood pressure stays low
enough that he can have Thanksgiving dinner.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
You could have had Shaboozie, Schmitty. You could have shaboozie.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Momed about shaboozy. But again, poor sport, not worth the
really awfulness I.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Would have done. It's stilling a fine point seven. Come
over and into you. It's back and schmiddy, get ready
for this holiday weekend. Thanks for sharing it with us.
But on Wednesdays, well, we just make you feel better
as parents. By Sharon, one of our most recent failures.
In another all right, Schmitty, I thought that I was
the good math parent. I felt pretty confident. Last week,

(17:10):
my daughter Charlie is working on her homework and we
were about to go to the store. We're picking out
ice cream. She had actually earned it through some schoolwork
that she had done in a different assignment, and I
told her, you know, like, hey, we'll go out to
the store and grab ice cream when mom goes out
for dinner. And she's like, okay, but I'm working on
homework right now, and I'm like, well, let's hurry up
and get this done. She's like, we just started this,

(17:31):
and I'm not sure what to do, and so she
made I don't mean to toot my own horn. I
was an advanced math when I was in sixth grade,
so I was pretty sure that I could handle whatever
she was going through. That was incorrect because she is
working on exponents as well as variables and expressions and
then order of operations, and I quickly glanced at problems

(17:53):
sitting here like one third time six with an exponent
of x, and then to flush that all out.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
I hate having to show your work.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
I don't dude. That was me too. I was the
not show your work here exactly, so, but I quickly
run through these because we're trying to go get this
ice cream. So I'm like, boom boo boom, you do this,
and I'm having to write this down, and I'm like,
and it's this number, and it's this number, and then
we times it by this and remember this, and we
get done, Schmidty. And the next day she comes home

(18:23):
from school and she gets off with the bus and
I see rage in her eyes. I got zero out
of five, Dad, I got zero percent. I had gotten
part of pem das peed Moss. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
I got the order of all you were confident and disaster.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
I was so confident, so confident. I have yet to
be asked to do homework since. Yeah. Nothing like a
little elementary homework to humble your real.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Fast movies, music and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
It's the celebrity scoop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Well, Jason Kelsey, the better at Kelsey Brother. If you
ask me drawing a line, there will not be Taylor
Swift tickets for Anny stocking stuffers this holiday season. He
was on The Rich Eisen Show and when asked, what
do you say no to? More often things people want
from you in a professional gig capacity, or Taylor Swift

(19:29):
concert tickets. He admits a lot of people are coming
for tea and he's not doing it.

Speaker 6 (19:34):
Yeah, thankfully. I don't get a lot of people reaching out,
okay for Taylor Swift tickets.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Okay, it is an immediate no. I don't get a
lot of that.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
As much as Taylor has said she will take care
of anybody that I asked for, Are you serious? She
does say that's very She's great, But I still say
no to everybody. Yeah, because if you're not going to
be the one to impose on that, I'm not. I
don't want to put that position out there. She's been
nothing but lovely to our family. She's a wonderful person,
and I don't want that to kind of be a dynamic.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah. By the way, her eras tour almost fully done,
which is just wild to think about.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
I mean, I can't wait to see the final numbers.
I'm so fascinated by this tour and how we're basically
looking at what was the biggest tour of all time,
and I just want to see how it all lays
out and play, because I think it's going to be insane.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Her and Coldplay. Coldplay's right up there too. They're still
going fans headed to a showing of Wicked, maybe cut
back on the cosplay. At least one major theater chain
said no to green face paint, so, of course Wicket
opened this past weekend, and quite a few videos have
been on TikTok showing fans attempting to scrub the green

(20:45):
face paint off if they want to be admitted to
an AMC location. Now, the issues not AMC hating on this.
It's a dress code rule that's been in place for
a while, namely no face coverings, which does indeed include
face paint. One such person writing PSA, don't show up
to an AMC wearing face paint. They will not let

(21:06):
you in. Haha. I've been in the bathroom for an
hour trying to get this off. Now, AMC says the
customers haven't complained or anything. They've just simply tried to
get it off the best they could before going into
the movie. So heads up if you're going this weekend.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's a no big deal. But come on, let people
have some fun with Wicked. I feel like you could
make one off exceptions from time to time.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Finally, the Home Alone House still making people scream more
than two decades later to the point where the cops
have to be called.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
You guys give up, Yeah, thirsty for more.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
That's right. Deputy Chief Dylan Major of the Winnetka, Illinois
Police Department says the famed house that was used for
all the exterior shots gets an increase in police presence
this time of the year, and now it has happened
every single year, He said, despite the amount of time
that's passed. It is a huge, huge draw for holiday tourists,

(22:02):
which is not the greatest for the neighbors and actual
home owners. He said, for the last twenty plus years,
local police have had to step up their patrols and
make sure that people are not crossing the barricades, trying
to climb the fencing that the homeowners had to put up,
and just not bothering other neighbors on the street.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
We've gone past the house a few times. My brother
lives over that way. But at the same time, I
am I'd be shocked if there weren't people every day
trying to scale the fences just so they can pretend
to slip on the stairs or be down by, you know,
grab the door handle. Just any of those little scenes
from the caps.

Speaker 2 (22:38):

the magic is dying, that it's gone from Black Friday shopping.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
I have never once shopped on Black Friday.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Raising my hand to say the exact same thing. But
that being said, we all know it's a lot of
It's a traditional thing for so many people, and tons
of people before everybody had Amazon Prime, everybody under the sun,
like Walmart and Target and everybody else had their Target
days and different huge sales they do throughout the year.

(26:03):
I feel like it is slowly eroded at Black Friday.
And you know what I miss. I miss the chaos.
I miss hearing about Grandma's going toe to toe in
the toy aisle, Smitty, that's the kind of stuff you'd
hear about after the weekend and be like, yep, that
sounds like what I'd expected my local Rollmark, not me.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
I'm so happy for our retail workers, like you guys
deserve the day off. I'm so happy that a lot
of these stores are like, hey, we're gonna open at
like nine am on Black Friday. Hey we're gonna close
Thanksgiving night at like six I just I knew so
many friends in retail and they would lose days because
of that.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
I asked the question online and amongst the whole bunch
of people that were like, hack, no, you couldn't pay
me enough money to get out there early. We do
have some die hearts, like Denise, who said, absolutely leave
home at five am. It's more about quality time with
my daughters than in the sales. You see that Smitty,
that's a mom who uses her daughter as tag team partners.

(27:01):
Is they're trying to get the latest deal on electronics.
How cool is that?

Speaker 2 (27:04):
I just really quick, I got a step on this platform.
Can we please buy from local small businesses? I've been
seeing so many social posts the last few weeks about
how much they're hurting. A few of my favorite spots
have said like, hey, we're down forty percent from this
time last year. And I know it sounds super cliche,
but when you buy from a mom and pop business,
you're buying like dance classes instead of giving us CEO millions.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Okay, it's all Monday, Okay, so I think.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
That we'll Friday small business shopping.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Okay, we'll take it there. I was gonna say, or
Black Friday, and then you got small business Saturday. Right
afterwards you get to go in the stores and get
it done there.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
You get two days of doing it there you go.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling Ooh, hopefully the
thoughts of all that thanksgiving to a food and seeing
friends and family have got you feeling good, feeling excited
for this holiday weekend.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Let's add to that right now it is feeling good
on styletal fan point seven. What's up? Fitting?

Speaker 2 (27:56):
So I'm actually really excited for one of my most
favorite things tomorrow, which is this is the Macy's Day
Thanksgiving Parade. I adore it. I think it's nostalgic. It's
so cool to see all the balloons. But my new
favorite spot might have to be Helen Devoz Children's Hospital
because they had their very own balloon parade yesterday in
celebration of all the Thanksgiving Day parades this week. Of course,

(28:18):
Detroit does a big one as well. Patients tuned into
Channel twelve to see the balloons grace their screens. Just
from the pictures I can see, it looks like over
forty or zero gigantic balloons were a part of this parade.
Their new facility dog Indie, even joined in on the
fun and the coolest part afterwards, patients could actually request

(28:42):
a balloon be brought to their room or head down
to the lobby and choose one. For themselves. The pictures
are so cool. It's up on our Facebook at West
Michigan Star. And it's worth pointing out this was done
with child and family life, which if you've listened to
our Radio fun in the past, you know that your
donations one hundred percent make what they do possible. So

(29:06):
just a reminder that next Thursday and Friday it is
back our twenty fifth radio bon for Helen DeVos Children's
Hospital will in but you'll listen and to give and
make awesome things like the Helen of Oz Thanksgiving balloon parade.

Speaker 8 (29:21):
Happen right here in West Michigan. Those balloons were insane,
so huge, very cool. All right, schmitty. You know, while
we're all excited for the Lions playing tomorrow, I got
to go back to the Kansas City Chiefs game on
a Sunday that was absolutely bonkers. At the end after
the Chiefs nearly got a win, defensive tackle Tershawn Warden

(29:42):
made the play of the day for sure. Because Chiefs
are on the road, he's walking out, happens to notice
a young Chiefs fan in the crowd there in Carolina
on the road. He wants to give a little love
to that Chiefs fan. So he's gonna hand him his gloves,
and this little guy runs down the stairs, leans over
the railing.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
And that's when he just flips. I mean we're talking
feet overhead. The scene was terrifying. Y'all, y'all.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
Go back to your seat.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
Everybody back to your seat.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Just kid it just pay.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
You hear the panic going on right there of everybody
who saw it. And that's because again the kid just
straight up flips over the railing. Whole thing captured on
video which you can't see though, was actually Tershaw Wharton
catching the kid before he hit the ground, probably preventing
some serious injury because he was going face first down
a pretty decent distance there and thankfully right place, right time,

(30:43):
making the catch of the game, catch of his career.
But man, be safe, you're out of those football games
like the Lions game that Schmidty should be at tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
