Mack and Schmitty in the morning on West Michigan's Christmas
station Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well, good morning, Schmitty, Good morning, Welcome into your Tuesday.
Here we are now eight sleeps till Christmas, a week
in a day. That's what we got, folks, till the
big day. And you know, I was thinking about this,
Schmitty because out there right now, temperatures in the mid
thirties around West Michigan mostly cloudy. Now we do have
a chance to snow tomorrow, especially tomorrow morning, and also
(00:28):
on Friday, and then a little bit on Tuesday of
next week. It's West Michigan that'll change fifteen times.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It's going to be cold. It is another big cold
snap coming.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I mean, you know how Blake Harms from Wood TV
eight does the whole school prediction school closing prediction. Do
you think he should start doing a white Christmas prediction?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Come on, you can't win that because have you looked.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It doesn't look good.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It's gonna be like fifty.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I hate that.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
I mean, it's grit. I don't kick my kids outside.
I told him last night. I was like, hey, we're
going to be packing the play gear for Grandma and
Grandpa's because next week days looking real warm.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Nothing like saying, you know what my kids really need
this year. Let's get them some new snowsuits and open
them up on Christmas morning. Be like, you'll get to
use these sometime in January.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Every kid getting a bike off Santa Sleigh is super stoked.
You remember how late that was as kids, you'd do
it like four months. Thank you Global Warming right out there.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
My birthday is this Friday, and for my birthday, when
I was twelve, I got my very first skateboard. But
this was Hot Lake, Michigan on December twentieth, So I
sat in my basement for the next four months trying
to learn how to ali to no avail it was.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
It was interesting enough. My birthday is during spring break.
I got rollerblades and we had the biggest snowstorm in history.
So it doesn't matter, y'all, but we're gonna have a
great time no matter what.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
It's the celebrities scoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Well, there is an update on the alleged case against
jay Z, the accuser now admitting they may have made
some mistakes in the lawsuit alleging the rapper as well
as disgraced music mogul Shandy Combs, assaulted her back in
two thousand so earlier this month, the accuser, who was
still going by simply Jane Doe, accused Jay Z and
(02:15):
Combs of assaulting her when she was thirteen at an
MTV VMA after party. Now the rapper has condemned and
vehemently denied the allegations, but the thirty eight year old woman,
who has remained anonymous, sitting down with NBC, acknowledging there
are some inconsistencies in the lawsuit in regard to remembering
(02:35):
the night the alleged catastrophic event occurred. She said that
she may have made some mistakes, including claiming her father
had picked her up after the assault took place. She
has since stated he doesn't remember doing so, also saying
based on their address at the time, the drive to
pick up his daughter would have been estimated to be
around five hours.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
He is saying, I feel like I would remember that,
and I don't.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I have a lot going on, but I mean that's
something that would definitely have stuck in my mind. He
stated that he did pick her up in the middle
of the night at one time, but told the outlet
it had been locally so based on her father's recollection
of the night. The woman stood by her own claims
that he had picked her up, but said, I've got
to be honest that there are some inconsistencies. While jay
(03:20):
Z is obviously looking to get this entire lawsuit dismissed
as soon as possible, he also called Tony Busby, that
is the attorney who has hundreds of these victims allegedly,
a deplorable human.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Let me just say that people who commit crime should
be held responsible for those crimes. That being said, but
this sounds like is a very weak case that would
be best for uh that would I'm sure wanted to
be settled by both the victim and why. Jay Z
is like, no, there's zero chance you guys would ever
win in trial. This is against my character and you
(03:54):
just are looking for money.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Pregnant Megan Fox fuming that her how ex machine gun
Kelly wants to be present at the birth of their child. Ooh,
this is getting nasty. So if you missed the story,
the two have officially broken up. Apparently they were on
vacation around Thanksgiving and Megan found text messages from MGK
(04:20):
to other women where, according to sources, last straw she's done.
Of course, this was just weeks after announcing she was
pregnant with the couple's first child. Insider say she is
so heartbroken by this that she does not think MGK
has the right to be present when she gives birth,
a sourceaying, how dare he even ask?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
That?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
It is upset her even more now that he thinks
he should have the right to be there at all.
She walked away from a very tumultuous relationship. He knows
what he did and he doesn't have any right to this.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
How do you feel about that, Minnie? I'm just curious
because I think that it's insane to think that you
can tell another parent of a share child that they
don't get to be there for the past.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Yeah, it's probably insane that. Being said, this is a
few weeks after I find out that someone's probably been
cheating on me for my entire relationship. I can't say
that I wouldn't respond in the same.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Way at this very moment.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Sometimes who's not get a good feeling.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Us writing up this day a little bit for you
feeling good on Starino five points seven, and over the
weekend on Fox seventeen, they shared a story but a
West Michigan teenager who's been battling an incurable heart condition
for quite some time. The story is of Dawson Newell,
and afterwards the story sort of took on a life
of its own as viewers helped to make some of
(05:45):
Dawson's dreams come true and got the attention of some
of his favorite athletes across the country and across the
state of Michigan, like, for example, forty nine Ers quarterback Brockberdy,
who sent this message to young Dawson.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Hey Dawson, it's Rockberty.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I just want to say, keep fighting, buddy, praying for
you man. Go Niners. Thanks for ally love and support, dude.
So hang in there and we'll see dude.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Is that cool?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You see. Dawson got that message yesterday, part of an
incredible day of surprises that didn't stop with that message
from his favorite NFL player because it also included some
pretty wild connections, including getting to get a donation from
a member of his favorite team, The Detroit Lions and
NASCAR's Rookie of the Year, Carson host of Ar, who
(06:36):
of course is a Portage navid native, who invited Dawson
to not only join his NASCAR team for a day
at the day tone of five hundred, but also going
to be putting Dawson's name on the side of the car.
So cool. This was announced at Zigler Automotive right here
in West Michigan just yesterday.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Well, I've done this for now a year and everybody
knows my name, So I'm gonna take my name off
the door. Play I'm gonna put your name so we
could see there and it can be on the car.
It's got such a great family, and that's that's the
most important part. So if we can help a little
bit with this, you know, a little fun toys and
experiences to help him out, that's the little things we
can do.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, I still didn't stop there. He got a ton
of donations that came in, one of which was for
none of them Holly Campbell, the wife of head coach
of the Detroit Lions, Dan Campbell, his favorite football team.
And then a big surprise, as Dawson's dream was to
have his own side by side, something that was made
possible by Aaron Ziggler of Ziggler Auto Group there and
(07:38):
now Austin has all of those things together. His mom
on the scene yesterday with Fox seventeen, just talking about
how much this means to her and her son.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
Whatever he wants to do now we have it to
go spend it on him. I am blown away. I
totally unexpected. This is a blessing and we are going
to have a blast and have lots of fun in
those things. He doesn't even know how lucky he is yet.
I can't wait to show him.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I mean, so cool and just awesome to see all
those groups come together for a kid.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
So this is really cool.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I've got to point out the Ministry of Fun Santa School,
which is doing something very big this year teaching their
Santa's Sign language. It's the twenty sixth annual Santa School
to make sure all children feel included. Some of Santa's
biggest helpers have been practicing for weeks leading up to
(08:28):
their busy holiday season this month, making sure that every
kid feels included. Not only are they taught lots of
Christmas greetings in multiple languages, but also Sign language for
things like Reindeer Rudolph, what would you like for Christmas?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Matt Grist is what he.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Deems himself a Santa specialist as training people in this
art since nineteen ninety eight, and they say they're hoping
that this spreads everywhere because you have no idea how
many kids actually don't visit Santa because of barriers like
asl These Santas are on a mission to change that
(09:10):
and they are seeing new joy everywhere they go. Very
cool video on our stories at West Michigan Star. All right,
Feeling Good comes down to you a couple times a day.
I always want to lift you to do it, lift
you up, and we'll do it again this morning coming
up at nine to twenty here on Star.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Feeling Good powered by overhead Door Company of Grand Reference,
reminding you to open your day positively with Star one
oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven, Well.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Jennifer Lopez fans and kind of even Jlo herself loft
just a teeny bit stunned at the screening of her
new movie Unstoppable when the interviewer decided to bring up
j Loo's age. Where you hear that too often Hollywood,
So it wasn't anything malicious. It made sense. She sat
(10:04):
down with Variety's senior Awards editor Clayton Davis, who was
gushing about her thirty years in the business, adding jokingly
that the fifty five year old is really getting up there.
He made this comment you can even hear in the
audience like, ooh, he really just asked that.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Listen, I can't believe thirty years. I can't believe in
thirty years respective on this year, which is wow, I
think this movie.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Did he really just say that? Jello handled it like
a pro.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
She kind of flipped a little grin and then turned
to the audience and used it as her cue to
thank them for being so good to her over so
many of these years.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That guy was schmetten. He wasn't insulting.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
He was That's what I feel like.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
It's not malicious, It's just a little like, oh, I
don't know if we necessarily want to bring up that
she's gonna be sixty. Lisa Kudrou not very impressed with
Tom Hanks and Robin Wright's new movie Here this is
the one that shows them throughout the different decades, and
they used very strong deaging technology. Lisa said, it's just
(11:25):
a giant endorsement for AI, and she was super unimpressed.
Not to be fair, the movie, which came out last month,
was a huge flop at the box office and only
made about thirteen million worldwide. But Lisa's sitting down on
the Armchair Expert podcast and she said, they shot it
and then they could actually shoot the scene and look
at the playback of them as younger. It's just they're
(11:46):
ready for them to see. All I got from that
was an endorsement for AI. It's not like, oh, it's
gonna ruin everything, but what's gonna be left Forget actors?
What about up and coming actors? They're just gonna be
licensing and recycling. Said, this is definitely something we should
all be concerned about. Set all that completely aside. What
(12:07):
work will there actually be for human beings? There will
be some kind of living stipend for people where you
won't have to work.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Could it be enough? There's so much going on here
that we really need to take a better look at it.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Man, that went existential real quick, didn't it. I mean
it went from like it's too much AI in movies
and that might lead to all of us never working again.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I mean, I see it.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Though you're talking about James Dean and Marilyn Monroe having.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Their licenses taken.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
They're right, Like, who's gonna need to work when you
can just de age these people and put them into
movies that other people are gonna be Like, I'd pay
to see that over someone I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
It's again. AI continues to be a very interesting conversation. Finally, Yes,
even Sonic.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Himself is a Lions van Ben Schwartz, the voice of
Sonic in all three of those wonderful movies.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
You might know everything I'm gonna do, but that's not
gonna help you since you know everything you're gonna do.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Strange, isn't it giving a big nod to the Lions
during a sit down for Sonic three, You'll remember that
Jamiir Gibbs, one of the Lions, the big Sonic. He's
actually wearing Sonic cleats. He dressed up as Sonic before
one of the games a couple of weeks ago, Ben
showing off his twenty six Gibbs jersey during the interview,
saying from one Sonic to another, the Blue Blur sees
(13:24):
and appreciates you.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
So I thought that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
It is a shout out to Knuckles though, who's in
the third movie but also is the David Montgomery counterpart
to Sonic and Knuckles, and he's out for this season.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
All right, all of your Celebscoop at West Michigan start
off home.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Good morning to you, Welcome into Tuesday. It's Mackett Schmidty.
And you mentioned something that I feel like he's underutilized
and maybe underappreciated, a classic gag gift. Schmidty.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yeah, it's controversial, and you've got to be ready to
deal with the consequences.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
This is true. This is true.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
So I'm really excited because this is the first year
I am not buying for all of my siblings had
their significant other. It's like, we're all broke, we're all broke,
We're this has been a tough year for my family.
And I'm talking to my sister in law Thanksgiving and
she kind of leans in and she's like, Hey, do
(14:14):
you want to just draw names and we each buy
for one person. I said yes, because honestly, the size
of family we now have, it's hundreds of dollars and
we're all starting to have kids. It's like, this is fantastic.
I'm still gonna buy for my nephew. Everyone's still gonna
buy for their niece and nephews. But like, I don't
need to buy all three of my brothers. Their wives
(14:38):
the fiance say like it's so much. So we drew
names and he's not listening because he lives in Detroit.
So I don't feel bad. There's one person nobody wants.
It's my littlest brother. He's just he's so negative, like
about all the things, and he always has something to say.
It's never really nice, and it's just I could tell
(14:59):
you we all know it's not because it's been like
that our whole life. I think he's just got like
youngest kid syndrome.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
There's ten years between us.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
You know, he didn't get to do a lot of
stuff that we all got to do because there's so
much of an age gap between the first three and
then him.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Fine kid, love him to death, but nobody wants to
get him because like, what do we buy him? Well,
I got him, and I'm like ugh, So.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
I was.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Like, oh I got him, just like text I'm on
his side.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Everybody, and I don't know who anybody else got, but
we're all in, like, you know, an off thread group
chat and they're like, who'd you?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I said, I got? I got threat and they're like, oh,
we're gonna get him.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
And honestly, we always say he's so dang salty. He's
salty about everything. He could find the most wonderful thing.
And there's a pinch of salt there.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
This is starting to make sense.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I found this really fun six different salt sampler set
online and I thought this will be great and I'll
give it to him and everyone will know exactly why
he got it. And so I sent it to my
other sister in laws and the immediate response I got
back where they were like, you can't do that, and
(16:12):
I was like, you don't think so. They're like, this
is Brett. He's not gonna take it well. The entire
rest of the day is gonna be spent with him
super moody and super sensitive about it.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
And I'm like, but like he cooks.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
They're like, nah, he's gonna know exactly. Then I thought
about getting him Himalayan Salt lamp. There was like six
different salt idea, you could make the whole salt theme go.
I had so many salt ideas, and my one sister
in law is like, he just isn't got to handle it.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Here's a bag for the sidewalk in front of your house.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I was like, dude, I had a whole tear system.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
And so there's gotta be times where you're like, this
is gonna be great, and then you give the gag
gift and you're like, oh, this was the worst possible idea.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, I just I think of the moment that he
opens it up and it's like salt and he kind
of looks puzzled for a second. And that's when you
look at him with like the you know, the cheesy
grin on your face, and you're like, you know, because
you're so salty. Yeah, And that's the part where immediately
it's either gonna be like a laugh or you have
really everybody.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Else is gonna laugh, and then he's gonna storm.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Out her salty with hurt feelings. So I mean, if
you've never successfully done a gag gift four five eight,
one oh five seven, have you done something funny and
it went well or you were like, oh.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Never again, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
My little brother got me a pair of jeggings one year,
thinking that they were so hideous that I would never wear.
I wore them all three days I was up north
with my family. I never took him off.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I had three years of juggings.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
If you went to college with me, you know you
know six one, six, four, five, eight, one oh five
seven a gag gift gone good or a gag gift
gone wrong.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Would love to hear your story.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
He's so salty it's back and spent here on steven
A five point seven Earlier, you were talking about getting
your brother a gag gift built around his saltiness. I'll
guarantee you he doesn't have his own radio station to
talk about being salty each and every week like his
big sister Dutch Minnie.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I'm so grateful for that because it does help, and
I think you will agree with me on this one.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Today.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
I am salty over parents lying, because there is no
way the number is this low. There's new research, a
study done by c smat Children's Hospital in ann Arbor, Okay,
that says one in four parents use Santa or the
threat of canceling Christmas to get their kids to behave
one four One in four.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
One a lie hundred percent of parents. Parents have uttered
the words at one point or another. Kid me, I
swear if we don't get X, Y and Z done now, yeah,
Christmas is canceled.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
One in four lent Santa.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Never have I met he felt like a worse mom
than hearing one in four. Just last night, we're sitting
at the dinner table and I look over at Will
and I said, you know what, Santa loves watching you
clean those veggies off the floor. I've been using that
for at least the last five weeks. I'm ready to
rip the Christmas rug out from under my kids. At
the slightest whim give me a weird look throwing you
(19:09):
know what? Hitting up Santa.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I'm telling the elf on the shelf, just forget about
a couple of those gifts out of the tree there.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
God, guess who's watching on the baby monitor. We hooked up, y'all, Sanna.
One in four parents get out, Nyasally Go, Salky.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Pase, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Well, we've gotten more details about what led to that
physical altercation for Jamie Fox at a big dinner his
birthday dinner at Mister Chow last Friday night, and it's
all centered on a laser pointer. So it turns out
his beef was with people from the jack Ass franchise
(19:59):
production company who apparently were in the VIP area of
Mister Chow and pointed a laser pointer shaped as a
male part on his dinner table.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
So on, very much on brand.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Apparently, production members from this MTV show kept pointing it
at the table and done Jamie's face, and he was
particularly upset because his kids were at the table. He
felt the image was very disturbing. According to sources, he
walked upstairs to the VIP room asked the people up
there to cut it out, making it clear he did
not find their joke very funny. Sources say it was
(20:38):
rented out by the production company. I can't say that
word either owned and operated by Johnny Knoxville, Jeff Tremaine,
and Spike Jones of MTV fame, and instead the group
decided to continue to mess with Jamie. I have to
imagine alcohol was involved. This was their holiday party.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I'm sorry, but like this just got actually funny to me.
I yeah, I will feel bad for Jamie Fox, but
I don't because this is that's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Yep. So this is apparently very triggering.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
He then went back up there and said in front
of my daughters, and that is when things escalated and
the glass got thrown.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Who are you shining that on Oscar winner? Jamie Fox?
Like that? Yeah, I mean ridiculous on so many levels.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Tops have said there are some people from the production
company they want to talk to, but the police are
not corroborating all of that information.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
No arrests have been made.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I just hope it's in the next movie. Johnny Knoxville,
go ahead, put that in the next movie please.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Jelly Roll continues to be an inspiration to fans while
he is so public about losing weight and improving his health.
The country singer, who at one point was five hundred
and fifty pounds, began his weight loss journey a couple
of years ago, looking to healthier food, including exercise habits
to be more consistent in his life. He's now joining
(22:01):
his wife Bunny's Dumb Blonde podcast, saying, I think people
who become as big as I became when they lose
the weight, they're almost ashamed.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
They're ashamed.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
They go hide and lose the weight and then come
back out and don't really know how to interact with
the world. He's getting very open about this. What I
want the world to know, what I want people to
see is that I did not become successful because of
my weight. I became successful in spite of it. I
somehow managed to be this successful carrying five hundred and
(22:31):
fifty pounds, which is insane. He says a big goal
of his now to be on the cover of Men's
Health magazine.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, you know what, based on that guy's drive, right
and his ability to succeed in spite of obstacles that
he has faced in his life, I have no doubts
that if he wants to make that happen, he will.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Plus over all hundred and some pounds. He did that
five k It's a great interview. West Michigan Star dot com. Finally,
big news for all of my our nerds. We've got
more details about Wicked Part two, which now has an
official name. Universal Pictures announcing yesterday Wicked for Good. So
(23:13):
the movie will chronicle the second half of the Broadway
show We'll officially open in theaters November twenty first of
next year, so we'll have about a year to wait.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
But check this out.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
John m chu, the director, teased that the follow up
is going to be a quote doozy, saying I did
not know the context of where we'd be in society
right now it becomes eight times more relevant than before
when you're talking about truth and consequences of making the
right or wrong choices.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
This one is going to be intense.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I think it's interesting the success of the Wicked movie,
especially given that it only took you to the intermission
of the Broadway show. Like that's the fun it gets.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
So we got one more year, guys, and we'll get
that second half. I've got a little bit of that
teaser trailer for you with your scoop at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Dot Com showing a fine point see, and let's do
it this Christmas. We want to send you ski in
snowboard and having some fun at the Shanny Creek Resorts
with your Christmas quiz right now?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
All right, So that number one answer, this could be
difficult because he's got a lot on the list. Name
one of the magical things that Santa does on Christmas
Eve night?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
How does the dude eat all the cookies? Smitty? How
does the dude eat all of those cookies?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I'm thinking to that return trip where he best be
given missus Claws a BackRub.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Because you know she's doing all the work.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
She's packing all the stuff, she's getting the sleigh ready,
she's making sure that the Google Maps is working. Wait
a second, She's the magic behind the whole operation.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
He's the one going around the world. It's his night,
the shine, and he's got to come home and rub
her feet, give her BackRub.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I saw the funniest meme today and it was like,
you just know missus claus is getting everything ready while
Santa's taking a forty five minute pooh before he hits
the sleigh. Probably true takes one six four five eight,
one oh five seven. Name one of the magical things
that's Santa does on Christmas Eve night and you could
be headed to Shanny Creek Resort with Star win five
point Sana.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Good morning, Star, who's this coming from today? All right,
let's talk Santa here. Teresa gotta tell me. One hundred
adults were asked to name a magical thing that Santa
does on Christmas Eve night. What do you think the
top answer was there? Teresa?
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Okang Oh, I had it.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
I had on the trim of my tongue.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Feed his reindeer. I don't know goes with his going
with the reindeer. How about you know, flies around the
world with reindeer. I'll make the reindeer one that one
instead of just feeding them, because I hope that Santa
feeds them every day, not just on Christmas Eve, but
flies around the world in one night with the reindeer
is answer number three. I'm sorry, Teresa, thank you, thank you,
(25:53):
Hi Star. Who's this? Brian? Teresa just took a shot
at it and gave me the number three most common answer.
What one hundred adults were asked to name a magical
thing that Santa Claus does on Christmas Eve night, and
she thought about the reindeer. Flying around the world in
one nights with reindeer is the number three most common answer.
So what do you think the top one is? Brian?
(26:14):
Eat all those cookies in one night? Oh, eating all
the cookies in one night, That's what I said, Brian,
that's actually the number five most common answer. High Star,
who's this? Yes, Josh, I've gotten a couple of good
guesses so far, my friend, but nobody's given me the
top answer yet. When one hundred adults were asked to
name a magical thing that Santa Claus does each and
(26:36):
every Christmas Eve night. So far, i've heard flying around
the world with his reindeer, which was the number three
most common answer, and eating all the cookies, which I
agree with. I don't know how he maintains that waistline
while eating all of those cookies. I mean, you'd figure
he'd fluctuate or something, but that was the number five
most common answer. So, Josh, you got a chance to
(26:57):
win this man, what do you think The top answer.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Is get down the chimney.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Getting down the chimney. I mean some places don't even
have chimneys. He's going down little tiny pipes and stuff.
Santa goes through a lot of things, chimneys one of
the dirtier ones. But you know what, that's the top answer. Yes, yeah, Josh,
you have got a couple of passes to go do
some ski and some snowboard and having some fun at
Shanny Creek Resort.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Thank you, you are very welcome and don't forget. We're
gonna hook you up with those passes all week long
and Friday's winter also getting it an overnight stay at
Channing Creek as well. So be listening to you Christmas
Quiz again tomorrow eight fifteen here Unstarved, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Josh Christmas.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I feel like it's the last Christmas I will see
my kids sitting on Santa's knee five point seven Mac
and Schmitty with you. And it might have actually been
past the time where this should have happened, probably Schmitty,
because my wife and I were just talking about I
don't think that we took the kids to see Santa
last year. I feel like since the pandemic it's been
(27:58):
kind of hit or miss, whether that was something that
we did in our holiday season. And now all of
a sudden, my kids are eleven and nine. But over
the weekend there was a Santa Claus that was going
to be in our area at one of the historical
like churches near us, and they were doing like cookies
and hot coco and all that stuff. So it's time
to leave it up to the kids. Kids are eleven
and nine, so like a little bit up there now
(28:19):
and so we said, hey, you guys want to go
see Santa Claus And they were like debated it a
little bit, and we're like, there's gonna be cookies and
hot coco, Yeah, we'll go see. So we go and
it's very lovely and the Santa Claus that's sitting there
looks very legit. I mean, this is definitely one of
Santa's best, most authentic helpers for sure, that's sitting there,
(28:40):
and it's a very nice looking setting. But we're like
the only ones that are there almost night for kids,
which is good, but it's also makes for a little
bit awkward because you don't see other people sitting on
Santa's knee. My son, Connor's getting to be a pretty
big nine year old. He's the tallest kid in this
class he is. He's about three inches taller than sister,
who's two inches it was two years older. Watching my
(29:04):
son try and get on Santa's knee was like watching
a person who's never ridden a horse get out a
horse before. He's like he couldn't figure out how to
do it. He's like, do you think I should just
back the butt into the knee or do I like,
do I bring the weight down right on top of
Santa Claus here, and I swear Santa's eyes bulged up
out of his head when my sheet came down. Then
(29:25):
my daughter walks into the room and it's just my
son sitting awkwardly on Santa's knee, and of course he's like,
come on over, I got another knee here for you
to sit on. And my daughter looks back at her
mom and I'm were like, don't be looking at us,
we want a photo, don't do it. Yeah, So she goes.
She sits there and like we they actually gave us
a polaroid, like a you know, wave in the air polaroid.
(29:49):
It looks like the scariest nineteen eighties Santa Claus experience
you've ever seen. Sanna looks like he's on valum. There's
like there's like a glaze over the whole photo, and
my kids look more awkward and massive sitting on his knee.
And we all agreed that will be the last time
that Santa's knee would be yet adorned.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
With you to say that, but twenty seven year old
Schmitty at work Christmas party found her way back on
Santa's lap, and that was as.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Awkward I'm Sana. On Thursday at our party, they're having
me dressed up as Santa. Watch yourself, clapping my knee
for you right now.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Maybe out of state, but it's still a phone call away.
Sometimes I get a good feeling.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Well, let's pop a little bostivity into this morning for you.
Thanks for sharing it with us. Mack and Schmitty here
un starting on fine point and step and with feeling good.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Okay, so we all know if we've ever had toddlers,
you just never know what they're gonna say. And one
four year old made the most of her school's Christmas
program by calling out one of her classmates in a
very bold announcement. Four year old Story decided to take
a moment to talk about how proud she was of
(30:58):
herself and her class, before going a bit off script
in a video that has now been seen millions of times.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
I am very proud of myself and all all my
other friends inside my class. In my class, who is
very sweet, except one little fool.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
The teacher rips the microphone out of her hand as
the audience is left sobbing. Story's mom, Brenna Massa, sat
down with Today dot Com to say her four year
old's confidence has always been that way. She says, her
daughter just has that kind of personality. Wherever we go,
she makes friends. Everybody always says she's an old soul
(31:49):
that just connects with people. But talking about the moment,
she goes, it was the end of the program. We're
all cleaning up, getting ready to go, and I go,
where did story go? And then we see her going
back up on stage and I go, oh, no, as.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Who story was talking about.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Nassa says her daughter's lore is with a certain boy
in her class, and this beef goes back to last year.
She said she was surprised she hasn't heard about this
kid in so long. She didn't realize that story would
bring him up in the announcement. Apparently this little boy
once made a loud noise. That story just cannot let go.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Honestly, schmiddy, I wanted her to finish that sentence so bad.
Everybody's like, just let her go.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
It is so good.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
It's on our Instagram story, so make sure you follow
us at West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Star awesome video. This is just really cool, really quickly,
I want to shout out a Western Michigan Bronco making history.
And while their season might have ended with their bowl
game on Saturday, well, Addison West has got himself a career.
He was named not only the fourth ever All American
for Western Michigan football, only the fourth in their history,
(33:00):
but the first ever all first team All American. These
are the top of the top, and you see all
these teams represented the Texas's, Alabama's, Florida's, Michigan's EUS season
Notre Dames of the world. And then lo and behold,
right there on that top line, Western Michigan Bronco Addison
(33:20):
West again the first ever first team All American for
the Broncos. The guy started all thirteen games this season,
started every game since twenty twenty two, and was actually
named the highest graded offensive lineman in Pro or by
Pro Football Focus. He led the entire NCAA in run blocking,
(33:40):
pass blocking, and overall grade, the only lineman in the
country to score above a ninety percentile in all three
of those. The dude is about to get a whole
lot of money and be headed off to the NFL,
but not before making all of those Broncos fans proud,
really really cool to see feeling good comes at a
couple times today. We'll do it again, Fred Tomorrow six
forty five and nine.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
You're on Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday,
starting at six am on Star one oh five point
seven
Mack and Schmitty in the morning on West Michigan's Christmas
station Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well, good morning, Schmitty, Good morning, Welcome into your Tuesday.
Here we are now eight sleeps till Christmas, a week
in a day. That's what we got, folks, till the
big day. And you know, I was thinking about this,
Schmitty because out there right now, temperatures in the mid
thirties around West Michigan mostly cloudy. Now we do have
a chance to snow tomorrow, especially tomorrow morning, and also
(00:28):
on Friday, and then a little bit on Tuesday of
next week. It's West Michigan that'll change fifteen times.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It's going to be cold. It is another big cold
snap coming.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I mean, you know how Blake Harms from Wood TV
eight does the whole school prediction school closing prediction. Do
you think he should start doing a white Christmas prediction?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Come on, you can't win that because have you looked.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It doesn't look good.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It's gonna be like fifty.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I hate that.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
I mean, it's grit. I don't kick my kids outside.
I told him last night. I was like, hey, we're
going to be packing the play gear for Grandma and
Grandpa's because next week days looking real warm.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Nothing like saying, you know what my kids really need
this year. Let's get them some new snowsuits and open
them up on Christmas morning. Be like, you'll get to
use these sometime in January.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Every kid getting a bike off Santa Sleigh is super stoked.
You remember how late that was as kids, you'd do
it like four months. Thank you Global Warming right out there.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
My birthday is this Friday, and for my birthday, when
I was twelve, I got my very first skateboard. But
this was Hot Lake, Michigan on December twentieth, So I
sat in my basement for the next four months trying
to learn how to ali to no avail it was.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
It was interesting enough. My birthday is during spring break.
I got rollerblades and we had the biggest snowstorm in history.
So it doesn't matter, y'all, but we're gonna have a
great time no matter what.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
It's the celebrities scoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Well, there is an update on the alleged case against
jay Z, the accuser now admitting they may have made
some mistakes in the lawsuit alleging the rapper as well
as disgraced music mogul Shandy Combs, assaulted her back in
two thousand so earlier this month, the accuser, who was
still going by simply Jane Doe, accused Jay Z and
(02:15):
Combs of assaulting her when she was thirteen at an
MTV VMA after party. Now the rapper has condemned and
vehemently denied the allegations, but the thirty eight year old woman,
who has remained anonymous, sitting down with NBC, acknowledging there
are some inconsistencies in the lawsuit in regard to remembering
(02:35):
the night the alleged catastrophic event occurred. She said that
she may have made some mistakes, including claiming her father
had picked her up after the assault took place. She
has since stated he doesn't remember doing so, also saying
based on their address at the time, the drive to
pick up his daughter would have been estimated to be
around five hours.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
He is saying, I feel like I would remember that,
and I don't.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I have a lot going on, but I mean that's
something that would definitely have stuck in my mind. He
stated that he did pick her up in the middle
of the night at one time, but told the outlet
it had been locally so based on her father's recollection
of the night. The woman stood by her own claims
that he had picked her up, but said, I've got
to be honest that there are some inconsistencies. While jay
(03:20):
Z is obviously looking to get this entire lawsuit dismissed
as soon as possible, he also called Tony Busby, that
is the attorney who has hundreds of these victims allegedly,
a deplorable human.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Let me just say that people who commit crime should
be held responsible for those crimes. That being said, but
this sounds like is a very weak case that would
be best for uh that would I'm sure wanted to
be settled by both the victim and why. Jay Z
is like, no, there's zero chance you guys would ever
win in trial. This is against my character and you
(03:54):
just are looking for money.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Pregnant Megan Fox fuming that her how ex machine gun
Kelly wants to be present at the birth of their child. Ooh,
this is getting nasty. So if you missed the story,
the two have officially broken up. Apparently they were on
vacation around Thanksgiving and Megan found text messages from MGK
(04:20):
to other women where, according to sources, last straw she's done.
Of course, this was just weeks after announcing she was
pregnant with the couple's first child. Insider say she is
so heartbroken by this that she does not think MGK
has the right to be present when she gives birth,
a sourceaying, how dare he even ask?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
That?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
It is upset her even more now that he thinks
he should have the right to be there at all.
She walked away from a very tumultuous relationship. He knows
what he did and he doesn't have any right to this.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
How do you feel about that, Minnie? I'm just curious
because I think that it's insane to think that you
can tell another parent of a share child that they
don't get to be there for the past.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Yeah, it's probably insane that. Being said, this is a
few weeks after I find out that someone's probably been
cheating on me for my entire relationship. I can't say
that I wouldn't respond in the same.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Way at this very moment.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Sometimes who's not get a good feeling.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Us writing up this day a little bit for you
feeling good on Starino five points seven, and over the
weekend on Fox seventeen, they shared a story but a
West Michigan teenager who's been battling an incurable heart condition
for quite some time. The story is of Dawson Newell,
and afterwards the story sort of took on a life
of its own as viewers helped to make some of
(05:45):
Dawson's dreams come true and got the attention of some
of his favorite athletes across the country and across the
state of Michigan, like, for example, forty nine Ers quarterback Brockberdy,
who sent this message to young Dawson.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Hey Dawson, it's Rockberty.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I just want to say, keep fighting, buddy, praying for
you man. Go Niners. Thanks for ally love and support, dude.
So hang in there and we'll see dude.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Is that cool?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You see. Dawson got that message yesterday, part of an
incredible day of surprises that didn't stop with that message
from his favorite NFL player because it also included some
pretty wild connections, including getting to get a donation from
a member of his favorite team, The Detroit Lions and
NASCAR's Rookie of the Year, Carson host of Ar, who
(06:36):
of course is a Portage navid native, who invited Dawson
to not only join his NASCAR team for a day
at the day tone of five hundred, but also going
to be putting Dawson's name on the side of the car.
So cool. This was announced at Zigler Automotive right here
in West Michigan just yesterday.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Well, I've done this for now a year and everybody
knows my name, So I'm gonna take my name off
the door. Play I'm gonna put your name so we
could see there and it can be on the car.
It's got such a great family, and that's that's the
most important part. So if we can help a little
bit with this, you know, a little fun toys and
experiences to help him out, that's the little things we
can do.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, I still didn't stop there. He got a ton
of donations that came in, one of which was for
none of them Holly Campbell, the wife of head coach
of the Detroit Lions, Dan Campbell, his favorite football team.
And then a big surprise, as Dawson's dream was to
have his own side by side, something that was made
possible by Aaron Ziggler of Ziggler Auto Group there and
(07:38):
now Austin has all of those things together. His mom
on the scene yesterday with Fox seventeen, just talking about
how much this means to her and her son.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
Whatever he wants to do now we have it to
go spend it on him. I am blown away. I
totally unexpected. This is a blessing and we are going
to have a blast and have lots of fun in
those things. He doesn't even know how lucky he is yet.
I can't wait to show him.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I mean, so cool and just awesome to see all
those groups come together for a kid.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
So this is really cool.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I've got to point out the Ministry of Fun Santa School,
which is doing something very big this year teaching their
Santa's Sign language. It's the twenty sixth annual Santa School
to make sure all children feel included. Some of Santa's
biggest helpers have been practicing for weeks leading up to
(08:28):
their busy holiday season this month, making sure that every
kid feels included. Not only are they taught lots of
Christmas greetings in multiple languages, but also Sign language for
things like Reindeer Rudolph, what would you like for Christmas?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Matt Grist is what he.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Deems himself a Santa specialist as training people in this
art since nineteen ninety eight, and they say they're hoping
that this spreads everywhere because you have no idea how
many kids actually don't visit Santa because of barriers like
asl These Santas are on a mission to change that
(09:10):
and they are seeing new joy everywhere they go. Very
cool video on our stories at West Michigan Star. All right,
Feeling Good comes down to you a couple times a day.
I always want to lift you to do it, lift
you up, and we'll do it again this morning coming
up at nine to twenty here on Star.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Feeling Good powered by overhead Door Company of Grand Reference,
reminding you to open your day positively with Star one
oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven, Well.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Jennifer Lopez fans and kind of even Jlo herself loft
just a teeny bit stunned at the screening of her
new movie Unstoppable when the interviewer decided to bring up
j Loo's age. Where you hear that too often Hollywood,
So it wasn't anything malicious. It made sense. She sat
(10:04):
down with Variety's senior Awards editor Clayton Davis, who was
gushing about her thirty years in the business, adding jokingly
that the fifty five year old is really getting up there.
He made this comment you can even hear in the
audience like, ooh, he really just asked that.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Listen, I can't believe thirty years. I can't believe in
thirty years respective on this year, which is wow, I
think this movie.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Did he really just say that? Jello handled it like
a pro.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
She kind of flipped a little grin and then turned
to the audience and used it as her cue to
thank them for being so good to her over so
many of these years.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That guy was schmetten. He wasn't insulting.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
He was That's what I feel like.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
It's not malicious, It's just a little like, oh, I
don't know if we necessarily want to bring up that
she's gonna be sixty. Lisa Kudrou not very impressed with
Tom Hanks and Robin Wright's new movie Here this is
the one that shows them throughout the different decades, and
they used very strong deaging technology. Lisa said, it's just
(11:25):
a giant endorsement for AI, and she was super unimpressed.
Not to be fair, the movie, which came out last month,
was a huge flop at the box office and only
made about thirteen million worldwide. But Lisa's sitting down on
the Armchair Expert podcast and she said, they shot it
and then they could actually shoot the scene and look
at the playback of them as younger. It's just they're
(11:46):
ready for them to see. All I got from that
was an endorsement for AI. It's not like, oh, it's
gonna ruin everything, but what's gonna be left Forget actors?
What about up and coming actors? They're just gonna be
licensing and recycling. Said, this is definitely something we should
all be concerned about. Set all that completely aside. What
(12:07):
work will there actually be for human beings? There will
be some kind of living stipend for people where you
won't have to work.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Could it be enough? There's so much going on here
that we really need to take a better look at it.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Man, that went existential real quick, didn't it. I mean
it went from like it's too much AI in movies
and that might lead to all of us never working again.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I mean, I see it.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Though you're talking about James Dean and Marilyn Monroe having.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Their licenses taken.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
They're right, Like, who's gonna need to work when you
can just de age these people and put them into
movies that other people are gonna be Like, I'd pay
to see that over someone I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
It's again. AI continues to be a very interesting conversation. Finally, Yes,
even Sonic.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Himself is a Lions van Ben Schwartz, the voice of
Sonic in all three of those wonderful movies.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
You might know everything I'm gonna do, but that's not
gonna help you since you know everything you're gonna do.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Strange, isn't it giving a big nod to the Lions
during a sit down for Sonic three, You'll remember that
Jamiir Gibbs, one of the Lions, the big Sonic. He's
actually wearing Sonic cleats. He dressed up as Sonic before
one of the games a couple of weeks ago, Ben
showing off his twenty six Gibbs jersey during the interview,
saying from one Sonic to another, the Blue Blur sees
(13:24):
and appreciates you.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
So I thought that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
It is a shout out to Knuckles though, who's in
the third movie but also is the David Montgomery counterpart
to Sonic and Knuckles, and he's out for this season.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
All right, all of your Celebscoop at West Michigan start
off home.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Good morning to you, Welcome into Tuesday. It's Mackett Schmidty.
And you mentioned something that I feel like he's underutilized
and maybe underappreciated, a classic gag gift. Schmidty.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yeah, it's controversial, and you've got to be ready to
deal with the consequences.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
This is true. This is true.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
So I'm really excited because this is the first year
I am not buying for all of my siblings had
their significant other. It's like, we're all broke, we're all broke,
We're this has been a tough year for my family.
And I'm talking to my sister in law Thanksgiving and
she kind of leans in and she's like, Hey, do
(14:14):
you want to just draw names and we each buy
for one person. I said yes, because honestly, the size
of family we now have, it's hundreds of dollars and
we're all starting to have kids. It's like, this is fantastic.
I'm still gonna buy for my nephew. Everyone's still gonna
buy for their niece and nephews. But like, I don't
need to buy all three of my brothers. Their wives
(14:38):
the fiance say like it's so much. So we drew
names and he's not listening because he lives in Detroit.
So I don't feel bad. There's one person nobody wants.
It's my littlest brother. He's just he's so negative, like
about all the things, and he always has something to say.
It's never really nice, and it's just I could tell
(14:59):
you we all know it's not because it's been like
that our whole life. I think he's just got like
youngest kid syndrome.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
There's ten years between us.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
You know, he didn't get to do a lot of
stuff that we all got to do because there's so
much of an age gap between the first three and
then him.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Fine kid, love him to death, but nobody wants to
get him because like, what do we buy him? Well,
I got him, and I'm like ugh, So.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
I was.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Like, oh I got him, just like text I'm on
his side.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Everybody, and I don't know who anybody else got, but
we're all in, like, you know, an off thread group
chat and they're like, who'd you?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I said, I got? I got threat and they're like, oh,
we're gonna get him.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
And honestly, we always say he's so dang salty. He's
salty about everything. He could find the most wonderful thing.
And there's a pinch of salt there.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
This is starting to make sense.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I found this really fun six different salt sampler set
online and I thought this will be great and I'll
give it to him and everyone will know exactly why
he got it. And so I sent it to my
other sister in laws and the immediate response I got
back where they were like, you can't do that, and
(16:12):
I was like, you don't think so. They're like, this
is Brett. He's not gonna take it well. The entire
rest of the day is gonna be spent with him
super moody and super sensitive about it.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
And I'm like, but like he cooks.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
They're like, nah, he's gonna know exactly. Then I thought
about getting him Himalayan Salt lamp. There was like six
different salt idea, you could make the whole salt theme go.
I had so many salt ideas, and my one sister
in law is like, he just isn't got to handle it.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Here's a bag for the sidewalk in front of your house.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I was like, dude, I had a whole tear system.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
And so there's gotta be times where you're like, this
is gonna be great, and then you give the gag
gift and you're like, oh, this was the worst possible idea.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, I just I think of the moment that he
opens it up and it's like salt and he kind
of looks puzzled for a second. And that's when you
look at him with like the you know, the cheesy
grin on your face, and you're like, you know, because
you're so salty. Yeah, And that's the part where immediately
it's either gonna be like a laugh or you have
really everybody.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Else is gonna laugh, and then he's gonna storm.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Out her salty with hurt feelings. So I mean, if
you've never successfully done a gag gift four five eight,
one oh five seven, have you done something funny and
it went well or you were like, oh.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Never again, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
My little brother got me a pair of jeggings one year,
thinking that they were so hideous that I would never wear.
I wore them all three days I was up north
with my family. I never took him off.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I had three years of juggings.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
If you went to college with me, you know you
know six one, six, four, five, eight, one oh five
seven a gag gift gone good or a gag gift
gone wrong.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Would love to hear your story.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
He's so salty it's back and spent here on steven
A five point seven Earlier, you were talking about getting
your brother a gag gift built around his saltiness. I'll
guarantee you he doesn't have his own radio station to
talk about being salty each and every week like his
big sister Dutch Minnie.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I'm so grateful for that because it does help, and
I think you will agree with me on this one.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Today.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
I am salty over parents lying, because there is no
way the number is this low. There's new research, a
study done by c smat Children's Hospital in ann Arbor, Okay,
that says one in four parents use Santa or the
threat of canceling Christmas to get their kids to behave
one four One in four.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
One a lie hundred percent of parents. Parents have uttered
the words at one point or another. Kid me, I
swear if we don't get X, Y and Z done now, yeah,
Christmas is canceled.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
One in four lent Santa.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Never have I met he felt like a worse mom
than hearing one in four. Just last night, we're sitting
at the dinner table and I look over at Will
and I said, you know what, Santa loves watching you
clean those veggies off the floor. I've been using that
for at least the last five weeks. I'm ready to
rip the Christmas rug out from under my kids. At
the slightest whim give me a weird look throwing you
(19:09):
know what? Hitting up Santa.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I'm telling the elf on the shelf, just forget about
a couple of those gifts out of the tree there.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
God, guess who's watching on the baby monitor. We hooked up, y'all, Sanna.
One in four parents get out, Nyasally Go, Salky.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Pase, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Well, we've gotten more details about what led to that
physical altercation for Jamie Fox at a big dinner his
birthday dinner at Mister Chow last Friday night, and it's
all centered on a laser pointer. So it turns out
his beef was with people from the jack Ass franchise
(19:59):
production company who apparently were in the VIP area of
Mister Chow and pointed a laser pointer shaped as a
male part on his dinner table.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
So on, very much on brand.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Apparently, production members from this MTV show kept pointing it
at the table and done Jamie's face, and he was
particularly upset because his kids were at the table. He
felt the image was very disturbing. According to sources, he
walked upstairs to the VIP room asked the people up
there to cut it out, making it clear he did
not find their joke very funny. Sources say it was
(20:38):
rented out by the production company. I can't say that
word either owned and operated by Johnny Knoxville, Jeff Tremaine,
and Spike Jones of MTV fame, and instead the group
decided to continue to mess with Jamie. I have to
imagine alcohol was involved. This was their holiday party.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I'm sorry, but like this just got actually funny to me.
I yeah, I will feel bad for Jamie Fox, but
I don't because this is that's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Yep. So this is apparently very triggering.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
He then went back up there and said in front
of my daughters, and that is when things escalated and
the glass got thrown.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Who are you shining that on Oscar winner? Jamie Fox?
Like that? Yeah, I mean ridiculous on so many levels.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Tops have said there are some people from the production
company they want to talk to, but the police are
not corroborating all of that information.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
No arrests have been made.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I just hope it's in the next movie. Johnny Knoxville,
go ahead, put that in the next movie please.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Jelly Roll continues to be an inspiration to fans while
he is so public about losing weight and improving his health.
The country singer, who at one point was five hundred
and fifty pounds, began his weight loss journey a couple
of years ago, looking to healthier food, including exercise habits
to be more consistent in his life. He's now joining
(22:01):
his wife Bunny's Dumb Blonde podcast, saying, I think people
who become as big as I became when they lose
the weight, they're almost ashamed.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
They're ashamed.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
They go hide and lose the weight and then come
back out and don't really know how to interact with
the world. He's getting very open about this. What I
want the world to know, what I want people to
see is that I did not become successful because of
my weight. I became successful in spite of it. I
somehow managed to be this successful carrying five hundred and
(22:31):
fifty pounds, which is insane. He says a big goal
of his now to be on the cover of Men's
Health magazine.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, you know what, based on that guy's drive, right
and his ability to succeed in spite of obstacles that
he has faced in his life, I have no doubts
that if he wants to make that happen, he will.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Plus over all hundred and some pounds. He did that
five k It's a great interview. West Michigan Star dot com. Finally,
big news for all of my our nerds. We've got
more details about Wicked Part two, which now has an
official name. Universal Pictures announcing yesterday Wicked for Good. So
(23:13):
the movie will chronicle the second half of the Broadway
show We'll officially open in theaters November twenty first of
next year, so we'll have about a year to wait.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
But check this out.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
John m chu, the director, teased that the follow up
is going to be a quote doozy, saying I did
not know the context of where we'd be in society
right now it becomes eight times more relevant than before
when you're talking about truth and consequences of making the
right or wrong choices.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
This one is going to be intense.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I think it's interesting the success of the Wicked movie,
especially given that it only took you to the intermission
of the Broadway show. Like that's the fun it gets.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
So we got one more year, guys, and we'll get
that second half. I've got a little bit of that
teaser trailer for you with your scoop at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Dot Com showing a fine point see, and let's do
it this Christmas. We want to send you ski in
snowboard and having some fun at the Shanny Creek Resorts
with your Christmas quiz right now?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
All right, So that number one answer, this could be
difficult because he's got a lot on the list. Name
one of the magical things that Santa does on Christmas
Eve night?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
How does the dude eat all the cookies? Smitty? How
does the dude eat all of those cookies?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I'm thinking to that return trip where he best be
given missus Claws a BackRub.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Because you know she's doing all the work.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
She's packing all the stuff, she's getting the sleigh ready,
she's making sure that the Google Maps is working. Wait
a second, She's the magic behind the whole operation.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
He's the one going around the world. It's his night,
the shine, and he's got to come home and rub
her feet, give her BackRub.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I saw the funniest meme today and it was like,
you just know missus claus is getting everything ready while
Santa's taking a forty five minute pooh before he hits
the sleigh. Probably true takes one six four five eight,
one oh five seven. Name one of the magical things
that's Santa does on Christmas Eve night and you could
be headed to Shanny Creek Resort with Star win five
point Sana.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Good morning, Star, who's this coming from today? All right,
let's talk Santa here. Teresa gotta tell me. One hundred
adults were asked to name a magical thing that Santa
does on Christmas Eve night. What do you think the
top answer was there? Teresa?
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Okang Oh, I had it.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
I had on the trim of my tongue.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Feed his reindeer. I don't know goes with his going
with the reindeer. How about you know, flies around the
world with reindeer. I'll make the reindeer one that one
instead of just feeding them, because I hope that Santa
feeds them every day, not just on Christmas Eve, but
flies around the world in one night with the reindeer
is answer number three. I'm sorry, Teresa, thank you, thank you,
(25:53):
Hi Star. Who's this? Brian? Teresa just took a shot
at it and gave me the number three most common answer.
What one hundred adults were asked to name a magical
thing that Santa Claus does on Christmas Eve night, and
she thought about the reindeer. Flying around the world in
one nights with reindeer is the number three most common answer.
So what do you think the top one is? Brian?
(26:14):
Eat all those cookies in one night? Oh, eating all
the cookies in one night, That's what I said, Brian,
that's actually the number five most common answer. High Star,
who's this? Yes, Josh, I've gotten a couple of good
guesses so far, my friend, but nobody's given me the
top answer yet. When one hundred adults were asked to
name a magical thing that Santa Claus does each and
(26:36):
every Christmas Eve night. So far, i've heard flying around
the world with his reindeer, which was the number three
most common answer, and eating all the cookies, which I
agree with. I don't know how he maintains that waistline
while eating all of those cookies. I mean, you'd figure
he'd fluctuate or something, but that was the number five
most common answer. So, Josh, you got a chance to
(26:57):
win this man, what do you think The top answer.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Is get down the chimney.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Getting down the chimney. I mean some places don't even
have chimneys. He's going down little tiny pipes and stuff.
Santa goes through a lot of things, chimneys one of
the dirtier ones. But you know what, that's the top answer. Yes, yeah, Josh,
you have got a couple of passes to go do
some ski and some snowboard and having some fun at
Shanny Creek Resort.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Thank you, you are very welcome and don't forget. We're
gonna hook you up with those passes all week long
and Friday's winter also getting it an overnight stay at
Channing Creek as well. So be listening to you Christmas
Quiz again tomorrow eight fifteen here Unstarved, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Josh Christmas.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I feel like it's the last Christmas I will see
my kids sitting on Santa's knee five point seven Mac
and Schmitty with you. And it might have actually been
past the time where this should have happened, probably Schmitty,
because my wife and I were just talking about I
don't think that we took the kids to see Santa
last year. I feel like since the pandemic it's been
(27:58):
kind of hit or miss, whether that was something that
we did in our holiday season. And now all of
a sudden, my kids are eleven and nine. But over
the weekend there was a Santa Claus that was going
to be in our area at one of the historical
like churches near us, and they were doing like cookies
and hot coco and all that stuff. So it's time
to leave it up to the kids. Kids are eleven
and nine, so like a little bit up there now
(28:19):
and so we said, hey, you guys want to go
see Santa Claus And they were like debated it a
little bit, and we're like, there's gonna be cookies and
hot coco, Yeah, we'll go see. So we go and
it's very lovely and the Santa Claus that's sitting there
looks very legit. I mean, this is definitely one of
Santa's best, most authentic helpers for sure, that's sitting there,
(28:40):
and it's a very nice looking setting. But we're like
the only ones that are there almost night for kids,
which is good, but it's also makes for a little
bit awkward because you don't see other people sitting on
Santa's knee. My son, Connor's getting to be a pretty
big nine year old. He's the tallest kid in this
class he is. He's about three inches taller than sister,
who's two inches it was two years older. Watching my
(29:04):
son try and get on Santa's knee was like watching
a person who's never ridden a horse get out a
horse before. He's like he couldn't figure out how to
do it. He's like, do you think I should just
back the butt into the knee or do I like,
do I bring the weight down right on top of
Santa Claus here, and I swear Santa's eyes bulged up
out of his head when my sheet came down. Then
(29:25):
my daughter walks into the room and it's just my
son sitting awkwardly on Santa's knee, and of course he's like,
come on over, I got another knee here for you
to sit on. And my daughter looks back at her
mom and I'm were like, don't be looking at us,
we want a photo, don't do it. Yeah, So she goes.
She sits there and like we they actually gave us
a polaroid, like a you know, wave in the air polaroid.
(29:49):
It looks like the scariest nineteen eighties Santa Claus experience
you've ever seen. Sanna looks like he's on valum. There's
like there's like a glaze over the whole photo, and
my kids look more awkward and massive sitting on his knee.
And we all agreed that will be the last time
that Santa's knee would be yet adorned.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
With you to say that, but twenty seven year old
Schmitty at work Christmas party found her way back on
Santa's lap, and that was as.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Awkward I'm Sana. On Thursday at our party, they're having
me dressed up as Santa. Watch yourself, clapping my knee
for you right now.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Maybe out of state, but it's still a phone call away.
Sometimes I get a good feeling.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Well, let's pop a little bostivity into this morning for you.
Thanks for sharing it with us. Mack and Schmitty here
un starting on fine point and step and with feeling good.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Okay, so we all know if we've ever had toddlers,
you just never know what they're gonna say. And one
four year old made the most of her school's Christmas
program by calling out one of her classmates in a
very bold announcement. Four year old Story decided to take
a moment to talk about how proud she was of
(30:58):
herself and her class, before going a bit off script
in a video that has now been seen millions of times.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
I am very proud of myself and all all my
other friends inside my class. In my class, who is
very sweet, except one little fool.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
The teacher rips the microphone out of her hand as
the audience is left sobbing. Story's mom, Brenna Massa, sat
down with Today dot Com to say her four year
old's confidence has always been that way. She says, her
daughter just has that kind of personality. Wherever we go,
she makes friends. Everybody always says she's an old soul
(31:49):
that just connects with people. But talking about the moment,
she goes, it was the end of the program. We're
all cleaning up, getting ready to go, and I go,
where did story go? And then we see her going
back up on stage and I go, oh, no, as.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Who story was talking about.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Nassa says her daughter's lore is with a certain boy
in her class, and this beef goes back to last year.
She said she was surprised she hasn't heard about this
kid in so long. She didn't realize that story would
bring him up in the announcement. Apparently this little boy
once made a loud noise. That story just cannot let go.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Honestly, schmiddy, I wanted her to finish that sentence so bad.
Everybody's like, just let her go.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
It is so good.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
It's on our Instagram story, so make sure you follow
us at West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Star awesome video. This is just really cool, really quickly,
I want to shout out a Western Michigan Bronco making history.
And while their season might have ended with their bowl
game on Saturday, well, Addison West has got himself a career.
He was named not only the fourth ever All American
for Western Michigan football, only the fourth in their history,
(33:00):
but the first ever all first team All American. These
are the top of the top, and you see all
these teams represented the Texas's, Alabama's, Florida's, Michigan's EUS season
Notre Dames of the world. And then lo and behold,
right there on that top line, Western Michigan Bronco Addison
(33:20):
West again the first ever first team All American for
the Broncos. The guy started all thirteen games this season,
started every game since twenty twenty two, and was actually
named the highest graded offensive lineman in Pro or by
Pro Football Focus. He led the entire NCAA in run blocking,
(33:40):
pass blocking, and overall grade, the only lineman in the
country to score above a ninety percentile in all three
of those. The dude is about to get a whole
lot of money and be headed off to the NFL,
but not before making all of those Broncos fans proud,
really really cool to see feeling good comes at a
couple times today. We'll do it again, Fred Tomorrow six
forty five and nine.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
You're on Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday,
