five point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, good morning, Schmidty, good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Welcoming back to it. You know what it is? What
it's been more than two weeks Sin two and I
were together, It's been that. Look, how were you doing?
I was Christmas? How was New Year's? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Busy?
Speaker 5 (00:25):
I mean it's weird, right because I worked last week,
so I kind of updated everybody, and I think it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
A lot of people seem.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
To have gone back to work last week Thursdays, they
didn't have to use some of that beginning of.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
The year pto. But honestly, I.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
Am thrilled to be back to routine. We're going to
talk about that later this morning. When were your kids
done with break? Cuzah, they would prefer not to be sit.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
No mine headit, man.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
I mean, I've still got two kids that loved school,
crave routine. The two weeks was fun, but it was
it was intense, no bedtime, tons of different people, different houses, travel.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
They are thrilled to be back to school this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I was gonna say that all sounds like fun. I'm surprised,
like you know, sleeping in well seeing.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
My kids don't like what.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
So I think a lot of parents this morning are
probably feeling like I am. It's good to be back
to the routine, although I gotta tell you not like
the most helpful to stick a giant NFC Lions game
Sunday night, eight twenty while my six year old is
begging to stay up until eleven thirty to watch the
whole thing. So I think, no matter what, we're all
(01:36):
maybe slightly wrecked this morning from a bit of a
late night, but that's okay because we're gonna make it
a good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Hey, good morning, and you're probably feeling on cloud nine
if you stayed up and enjoyed that Lion's game last night,
as they are your back to back defending NFC North champions.
Not to mention the buy headed in the playoffs will
hit all of it this.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Morning, movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
It's the celebrities scoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, it was funny last night.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Half my social media timeline about the Lions, the other
half about the Golden Globes.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Award season is officially here with the very first big
Award show. Last night, the Golden Globes handed out with
Amelia Perez as a big winner, named the Best Motion
Picture Musical or Comedy, Best Non English Language Film, and
Zoe Saldana taking home the Best Supporting Actress award for
(02:30):
her performance. That was a big win considering the other
stars in that category. The Brutalist named Best Motion Picture Drama,
Adrian Brody won Best Actor in a Drama, Flow won
Best Animated Film, Wicked taking home the award for Cinematic
and Box Office Achievement. Other names you'll recognize taking home
(02:50):
big victories Haran Colkin, Jeremy Allen White, Colin Ferrell winning
for The Penguin, Demi Moore, and Jody Foster as well
with some really incredible acceptance speeches. Last night's host was
Nicky Glazer, who, by all accounts on the Internet this morning,
did a fantastic job. Oh no, no, I I know,
(03:11):
I'm sorry, I'm upset to the after party is not
gonna be as good this year, but we.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Have to move on. Fucking Diddy. I know, Stanley Tucci
freakoff just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
But.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
No, baby oil this year. Just lots of olive oil.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Okay, I mean she really took people down and everybody
seemed to love it so big night.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Amelia Perez is the name of that, right, Yeah, I
had never heard of that show one single time until
it's a movie. It's a movie exactly. The Brutalist hadn't
heard of that either.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
I hadn't heard the brutalist. Amelia Perez is everywhere. Selena Gomez,
Oh my gosh, it is an absolutely stacked cast.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's supposed to be pretty phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Did they go to streaming or was it ever like
in theaters and.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Everything in theaters. I don't know if it's on streaming yet.
And yeah, let's get to Nicki Mina. This is a
very interesting lawsuit that's stemming from her time in Detroit.
So according to her manager, who is now suing her,
following her April show at Little Caesar's, she apparently hit
him in the face so hard she knocked his head back.
(04:19):
Rapper being sued by Brandon Garrett, who claims he was
working as Nicky's manager during her tour earlier this year,
seeing she got real physical with him after Nicki sent
him on an Errand and then realized he had sent
someone else to pick up her prescriptions somewhere in Detroit.
She said that your life would be over struck him
(04:40):
got very physical. It's going to be interesting because apparently
update to this, there could be criminal charges here. Law
enforcement says the Detroit Police have actually sent a warrant
request to the Wayne County Prosecutor's office that is now
being reviewed to determine whether criminal issue. Criminal charges could
be an issue here. Nicky's lawyer is claiming no complaint
(05:04):
has been served upon Nicky. However, if the lawsuit is
as reported completely false and frivolous.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Be interesting to see if they have any video, any
kind of evidence, because that's what it would take to
probably bring charges, you.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Would think alca for some witnesses, AMers everywhere. Finally, President
Biden naming nineteen recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Those were given out over the weekend and included big
names like YouTube's Bono, Hillary Rodham, Clinton, Michael J. Fox,
Jane Goodall, Ralph Loreen, Lionel Messi, and our local boy,
(05:40):
Irvin Magic Johnson, the showtime era for.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
The Los Angeles Lakers, five time NBA champion, three time MVP,
twelve time All Star, Olympic gold medalists, and an A
Smith Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
How did the same bridlights is honesty about these HIV
status shattered stigma and saved lives.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
And they also celebrated him for all of his work
with underserved communities. Bill Ny the science guy also going
home with that Presidential Medal of Freedom. The best part
those two were so tall they actually had a duck
down for President Biden. Put the metal on with some
great video with your scoop at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I love these stories and I love this park as
a matter of fact as well. But around Christmas time,
SCHMITTI we got a Christmas time baby. It's feeling good
on Star Wing on Fine point seven, Mac and Schmitty
with you always here to spread a little positivity. And
how about getting out to see an amazing wild animal
who just came into this world right around Christmas Day.
I'm talking about a brand new baby giraffe just born
(06:45):
at Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park. Yes, this little giraffe,
or I should say big giraffe, came just around Christmas Day.
As I mentioned, six feet tall, one hundred pounds Schmidty,
I just think about that poor giraffe's mother, six feet
pilt Arnes, who both baby and its mom, Ginger, aren't healthy.
(07:06):
The park said Ginger's milk didn't come in. That happens
with giraffes too, so the park's been bottle feeding this
little newborn. This is the second calf for Ginger since
she arrived at Boulder Ridge. And if you have not
ever been over to Boulder Ridge Park there and fed
those giraffes, it is such a fun time with your kids.
And if you were unaware, giraffes tongues are black and
they are very long, and they will come down and
(07:26):
they will touch you just so you know, My kids
love that so good.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
This is such an incredible story.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Fifty one year old Danny Blanton and sixty year old
John Johnson lost touch with each other over twenty years
ago until a chance uber ride brought them back together again.
The two had owned a nightclub together, had gotten very
very close. They considered each other best friends. But you
know how it happens, sometimes you just kind of fall
(07:53):
out of touch. The wild moment was caught on Danny's
dash cam and has gone absolutely viral.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
John there, man, I'm great. How about yourself? I'm good.
Just keep it warm, right, said Windshield the day to kitchen. Yeah,
and Wi, what's her name? Her name is Danny?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
I don't know you, I don't know me.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah, go through.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It was such a cool moment.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
And actually spoke with People magazine about this viral video
and said it really was God's timing. Johnson was his
last pickup of the day and shortly after he stopped
driving uber. So the two have reconnected and they're making
up for a lot of lost time.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I mean, how wild is that to have experienced so
much in life and business, partners and things, and then
all of a sudden in the back of you were
over and you're just like, is it him? Is it
this guy?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
They're so excited.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I've got the whole video if you want to see
that moment on our Stories at West Michigan, Star.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Movies, Music and all the guys in one place.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
It's the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Just some really heartbreaking news to kick off Scoop with
filmmaker Jeff Bena, best known for directing films like Life
After Beth and The Little Hours. Also, the husband of
actress Aubrey Plaza has died. Law enforcement says police and
fire responded to an LA home Friday morning around ten
(09:25):
thirty for a death investigation after an assistant had discovered
him dead. Bena was pronounced dead at the scene. Law
enforcement says he died by suicide. Jeff got his film
degree at NYU and then launched his movie career working
with huge directors. He collaborated on screenplays including iHeart Huckabees
(09:46):
with Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin, who worked with John
c Riley, Molly Shannon who really gave a heartfelt tribute
last night. But it was his relationship with Aubrey Plaza
that led to some of the biggest projects. Back in
twenty two, twenty one, Aubrey revealed she and Jeff had
tied the knot after almost a decade of dating. Now
(10:06):
she has not officially issued a statement. The family says
they are absolutely devastated. Aubrey was set to present last
night at the Golden Globes, but of course opted not to.
Jeff was only forty seven.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, you super sad. You just never know what's going
on in someone's life like that.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yeah, it was a huge night last night in Detroit.
Quite a few celebrities made their way to Ford Field,
like Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, and Drew Brees. In fact,
you actually brought his kids and hung out for a
bit with Sheila Ford, Hamp Martha Ford and all those
big wigs at the game. Taylor Lautner of Twilight Fame
(10:50):
and his wife Taylor were also there, spotted wearing their
custom made Lions jackets. Other big stars Keegan Michael Keel,
Bob Cer, Tim Allen, Big Sean, Jeff Daniels. We saw
him do the intro to the big Sunday Night Football
and of course it wouldn't be a Lion's game without
(11:11):
the goat.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Eminem in the VP.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Sweet I thought this was really cool next to his
daughter Haley, so they put the camera up. He stands,
He's pounding his chest and Haley's very much giving me.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Oh my dad's so embarrassing vibes before she kind of
did the wave.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Of course, just an incredible night and we been mentioning
it all morning. Number one seed. That means the Lions
get a nice little break and a bye week to
kick off those playoffs.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
How good was that Jeff Daniels thing, though.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Everything Jeff Daniels does is good.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Put him next to a warring fireplace and make that
my Christmas yule log next year.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
It's like Mousterpiece Theater, but for Lions Fantasy.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I would put that on my TV.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Finally, it seemed like it might be a bit of
an awkward moment last night at the Golden Globes. Then
Diesel and Dwayne Johnson coming face to face because remember
they had that serious beef for quite a few years
after doing some work together in movies. So then took
to the stage to present the prize for Cinematic and
(12:16):
Box Office Achievement to Wicked. When he kind of looked
over into this par due it felt awkward, but not
at all. The two have really buried the hatchet. They
have actually come out and said that, of course Dwayne
is going to be making some recurring roles in future
Fast and Furious movies. They said, Hey, the beef officially
(12:37):
ended in twenty twenty three. This is just a really
fun way to kind of show the awkwardness is.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
No longer there.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I kind of liked the awkwardness. I'm fine if they
have a grudge while they work together. Now, no problems
with that.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
All of your celebscoob, including that full list of Golden
Globe winners from last night at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Good morning too. It's Mack and Schmide and here we go.
The kids headed back to school and some of them
more ready.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
I want to start by saying, thank you so much teachers.
Hope you had a nice, long, relaxing break and God
bless because I think on the other side of it,
we're all so ready my kids as I really learned
this break because I think they're now at the age
where I can start to pick up on this. While
(13:21):
my kid's a door routine like, they thrive with it.
So when you throw in two weeks of changing bedtimes,
a million different people, some of which they don't see,
a whole ton traveling cookies and sugar and more sugar.
Like we were melted down by about Friday. We really were.
(13:43):
And I think I was talking to a lot of
my friends and they're like, yeah, two weeks is a
long time. I love it, and the teachers deserve the break.
Don't get me wrong, but man, it was tough, and
I could figure out exactly the moment I went, man,
we are ready to go back. And that was on Friday.
(14:03):
We'd had some snow. We did this ledding thing and
we went over to the playground that's right in our
neighborhood and the kids were there. It's like one of
those really cool treehouse looking playgrounds. So they were playing
Harry Potter, pretending it was a castle, and all of
a sudden, I hear my daughter scream and lay down.
So I'm concerned, and I run over and she's pretending
(14:23):
to be petrified.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So if you.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Haven't read the books or seen the first couple of movies, right,
people you know see this snake spoiler alert and then
and then they're they're petrified, right, And so I go, oh, babe,
why are you pretending to be petrified?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And she opens one eye and she.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Goes because then I just get to lay down and
relax the rest of the time.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
And girls, I can't blame you.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
And I posted that video to TikTok and I have
gotten thousands of responses from parents that are like, oh,
my kids right there, And it's like, really wonderful to
have two weeks altogether until you realize they love people
other than.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
You, maybe a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Like I put Will to bed last night and he goes,
I cannot wait to see missus Johns tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And I was like, I have a nice time with you,
but he goes, yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Tomorrow's going to be really cool, and I need to
go to bed right now so that it comes faster.
Like there's just it's a lovely time. But man, oh man,
my kids need routine.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
See it's funny because I gotta I'm just gonna go
ahead and shout out all of the parents of children
who they are are the exact opposite. My kids like school,
but not like that. And when you mentioned all the
things about break ooh, the changing of bedtimes, the traveling,
the seeing people that you don't get to see very often,
the cookies, all the snacks and everything else. Instead of
those being the reasons they're overwhelmed, those are the reasons
(15:49):
they do not want to go back to school. Greatest thing. Yeah,
last night when we had to put them to bed
at their normal bedtime of like eight thirty. Again, you
know how insulted my children were by the idea of it.
Like it's been two weeks of ten o'clock or later bedtimes,
and natally we're back in prison of having to go
to sleep at eight thirty.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Uh well, I gotta tell you the people listening are
definitely on my side, VICKI. I think my kids were
done with their break about a week and a half ago.
Uh mjay, Oh, my kids are super excited to go back.
Not nearly as excited as Momy.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
You're at the facts with human torch was denied at.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Banklover Headine Goodchadines allow us to fill you in on
all of the articles you'll be clicking on as you
waste time at work later. It is this week's best Adbie.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
I told you guys. It is now an East Lansing tradition.
The peanut barrel rang in the New year early during
its Geezers New Year's Eve party. That's right, six seven o'clock,
the ball drops and everybody's home by eight. So peanut barrel,
if you're listening, I will see you this New Year's
Eve Adbye.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Man cuts off fingers instead of quitting job. Thirty two
year old Indian man confessed to cutting off four of
his fingers to avoid working at his relative's business. You
might question Schmidty his methods, but don't question his dedication.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Okay, ad Bine, a woman in Scotland needed a fence
for her yard, so she knitted one. Anne Yunsen has
now gone viral in pinterest circles across the world after
using black twine. It took her three weeks and now
people are visiting to take pictures and get tips.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Honestly, you know she's a grandma. One thousand percent, she's
a grandmother. At bye Schmtty cow has been genetically modified
to fart less. Yes. Cow's in the UK. They are
now genetically modifying so they passed last guests. Less methane
going into.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
The air, good fairy environment.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yes, And for every wife out there who's thinking of
their husbands right now. No human trials have not been
announced just yet.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
At by all right.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Police in Pennsylvania are searching for two men who robbed
a motel six, but first help themselves to the complimentary
coffee bar. The coffee break bandits actually had a really
hard time trying to step the coffee through their masks,
so they're hoping some DNA is gonna find them very.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Soond fine schmiddy woman breaks jaw biting into jawbreaker candy. Yeah,
a student had to have her jaw wired shut for
six weeks after she broke it on a jawbreaker candy
and Schmeddi. If only there had been some sort of warning, dude,
some sort of sign that that could be.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That is a phobia.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Jawbreakers in quicksand y'all haunted me since I was like four.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
This week's headlines to city. Great ones out there, always
send them our way, Facebook and Instagram, at West Michigan, Star.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Well, I gotta be honest if you have not yet
seen enough proof that the Detroit Lions could indeed be
a super Bowl bound team. Last night's game was it
grabbing that number one seed in the conference first round,
by which means they'll get to rest up before having
a playoff game at home the NFC North Crown.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Second season in a row. This was huge.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
I gotta talk for a second about that end zone.
The Vikings had twelve plays in the red zone, not
once crossing the goal line.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Two of those times they.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Were first and goal at the Lions five and still
held to no touchdowns. It was an incredible moment. You
could hear it in Dan Campbell's voice. Quick moment from
him in the locker room.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
You guys, look, you.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Remember who you are.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
That's a helpful win.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Guys. All I can think about is, man, we've been
forcing this stuff now. This has been three years into
making some of it. Four like that, did something happen?
You gotta walk through it, grind through it, and go
through the down to get to the up to where
we're at, winners back to.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
I can't imagine why people want to run through a
wall for that guy.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Well, and I want to point out if you follow
Sunday Scaries on Instagram, Dan made his first debut on
it yesterday with his cute dogs.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
That's really worth looking at.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
But a lot of people are talking about this really
classy move post game. Did you catch what he said
to Viking's head coach Kevin O'Connell take a listen, might.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Send you two weeks playoff three minute.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Isn't that sweet? I'll see you in two weeks.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
It's only sweet if it ends like it did last night.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
That's that's the only way it's Yeah, so I've got
a ton of highlights, including all the celebrities that were
at ford Field last night at West Michigan Star dot
Com Let's Head to Golden Globes coverage that was also
on last night, And not only was after Zendaia turning
heads in her stunning orange gown, but fans also noticed
(21:00):
a very big ring on that very important finger. That's right,
fans immediately jumping into the comments after pictures started to
surface of her on the red carpet congratulating her on
an engagement, waiting to hear if she's actually engaged to
her longtime boyfriend after Tom Holland. The two have been
(21:20):
dating since twenty twenty one after meeting on the Spider
Man Homecoming set. We haven't heard anything official. It's hard
because a lot of times with the jewelry, you can
find it on that finger, but this, I would not
be surprised. This does look engagement ringing to me. But
I can't imagine she would sport it on the red
carpet if she wasn't ready to announce it.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Those two, I feel like they do things in their
own world and then just don't talk about anything like
it wouldn't surprise me if she weren't on the red
carpet and then just ignored everything else.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
See, it would surprise me. They're really private and I
don't know. We'll see. So far, neither one of their
teams are talking about this.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Finally, Joe Alwyn, you know, Taylor Swift's ex boyfriend, reflecting
on the scrutiny surrounding his relationship with Taylor Still he
is in an interview with the Guardian, admitting he is
always attempted to tune out what he calls the noise
about his six year relationship with Taylor, saying, if you
let all that other stuff in, it starts to affect you,
(22:19):
and then you're living from the outside in and then
you're pretty screwed. He and his family and friends keep
him tethered to the ground, and then he says, listen,
we broke up in.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Twenty twenty three. I have moved on from this public chatter.
We're talking about something that's a while ago now and
we're both very happy.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I feel bad almost for him, because he is going
to be regulated to being a chapter in her eventual book,
and people will not let this die. They want to
know the dirty secrets. They want to know what made
them break up after six years together. They want to
get all of those details. And I don't think they're
ever going to let this guy live until they.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Have a she like Mary's Travis. I figured, just move
on people. All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan.

One hundred.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
If you have one hundred men, it was probably Chucky. Man,
it's so funny that you said that, because I was
about to give you the hints that again, it's one
hundred men who were asked this question, because I thought
that that would be a nice hint for getting you
to go exactly where you went, and that's the creepiest
doll ever created. Chucky is the top answer.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I thought for sure people are gonna get tripped up
on this one, but you knew right where the dude's
brains were go, and they went to that ver fine
ginger Dell. Chucky literally made me afraid. I actually that
was one of the first horror movies I saw as
a kid, and I didn't have a Chucky Dolls. I
wasn't worried about that, but that movie freaked me out
so bad because I thought maybe some of my other
(25:15):
stuffed animals might come alive take me out in the
middle of the night. Yeah, very scary stuff. So Chucky
top answer, followed by Barbies of course, cabbage Patch Dolls
rounding out those top three. Congratulations, bring you're going to
our Grand Rapids Rise, Yes, root on those rises. They'll
(25:37):
be at Van Andeloreen all season long, and we've got
your tickets. Win them this week with Battle of the
Sexes or win them online right now. West Michigan Star
dot Com. Some morning to you. It's Mack and Schmitty
And as the kids head back from Christmas break, Schmitty,
you know, the holidays I feel like officially over for
most people here. However, I gotta ask, is the Christmas trees.
(26:00):
I'm actually dying to know the answer to this for you,
because I know that you guys, you decorate pretty quick.
You get your decorations up there are they already down
to the down?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Fast?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
You took them? What day to day it.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Took them down? I'm trying to think, what did I talk.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Tuesday New Year's Eve because we were having a bunch
of speople over and no, I saw this great meme
over the weekend from a mom that was like the
way I work so hard for Christmas, cozy magic and
then within a night, well then rage clean and take
it all down. Should be studied because it's like I
(26:37):
love it, love it, love it. The second that hits.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
For me gone, you're ready for it to be holed.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I need it all down. Our community is picking up
all the Christmas trees this morning.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Big gone see. I mean, I get your your thoughts
on that, I get your philosophy. I even have several
listeners who answered this question on there who said the
twenty sixth that baby's.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Eyes and I like it into the New year, but
like it just felt so cluttered.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
So normally we are a January second family. January second
day after New Year's Day, all the Christmas stuff is
gone like a you're usually still on break. So it's like,
just get rid of all of this stuff. You have
the opportunity to do it, and we're past it. This
year we left, we traveled during the holidays. We left
on like the twenty ninth, and we got back and
(27:20):
our trees looking good, and we gave that thing a
whole bunch of water afterwards, and the needles are still
all on it. So my kids asked their I was like, so,
were we going to take this thing down yesterday? And they
were like, no, can we leave it up for an
extra week? We're going to leave ours up because our
kids did not feel like they got enough Christmas tree
time during the holiday season this year.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Shout out to Cassandra. I know she listens, and I
saw a really cool posts from her. Her daughter has
a mid January birthday. They keep their tree up and
take the ornaments down and decorate it in all pink
and things that she loves and makes it a birthday tree.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
That's pretty awesome and Iley like.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Man, girl, that's a good hack for those January birthdays.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Hold on for the December ones, though, you could. I'm
December twenty. If you're telling me, my parents could have
given me a birthday tree, any year and every Christmas.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
You just know you're never going to get what you want.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
I can't wait to talk to my therapist some down
because I'd.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Get a good feeling.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Yeas telling a fine point. Shevin, ma, could you be
gonna get your feeling good right now? What's going on? Manne?
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Well, if you're in the moon for a little road trip,
I bet you have seen this everywhere. This morning, a
bakery over on the east side of the state celebrating
the Lion's success by making an aman Ra Saint Brown cake.
You know, the infamous headstand he did after that big
packer win back at the beginning of November. Well, Heather Toco,
(28:40):
the owner of Rochester's Home Bakery, knew it was iconic enough.
She'd seen it on so many things it was time
to put her.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Own twist on it. Speaking with Box two.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
The image of Saint Brown on his head became iconic.
I was seeing it on socks, Christmas ornaments. Was kind
of a no brainer for.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
That's right, let's make it into a cake. And it
was truly a labor of love. Her team of twelve
took almost a month to design this thing, bake it,
and put it in the front display window, where it
has become the talk of the town, not just for
those in Rochester. This thing is about six feet tall,
(29:22):
she said, everything had details, paid attention to it, and
now it's gone viral on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
She said.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
The fact that it's over six feet and we had
to bake it with him on his head to make
sure that it wouldn't tip over took a lot of time.
Plus we spared no detail, the German flag on his helmet,
his cleats, every single detail eventually caught the attention of
Saint Brown's people.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
His people have they were in of of it, and
they had said as soon as they got it, they
immediately contacted him and said we got to connect the
two of you.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
So while you can't eat any part of this cake
because it's been going for about a month now, you
don't want to do that to your gi track.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
She says.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
There are tons of fun goodies and Lions themed treats
inside if you want to stop out the home baker
in Rochester.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I mean, that is so cool. One hundred and sixty
hours plus I show it for them to make it
schmitty and also tell me there isn't some groom or
couple that's planning to get married here in the next
few months that isn't liked.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Make that my cake top.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I discovered No forget to make that your whole wedding
cake all over it.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
I loll the cake topper because then you get to
keep it and you can continue that incredible record. I've
got the video for you at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
All right, since the new year, so let's talk about
something old that's new, and that's the new oldest person
on the planet, Ina Cannaborro. She's an one hundred and
sixteen year old none from Brazil. Schmitty now recognized that
the oldest living person because just last month, sadly, the
former oldest person, Japan's Tamiko Ituka, was born on January
(31:00):
was born previous to Cannabero, who was born June eighth,
nineteen oh eight. Smitty nineteen oh eight. She says it
was her Catholic faith that has allowed her to age
so well. She says, I'm young, pretty and friendly, all
very good positive quality. Says, if that's all it takes.
She is the second oldest nun ever recorded. Schmidty at
(31:22):
one hundred and sixteen years old. She was actually honored
by Pope Francis on her one hundred and tenth day,
one hundred and tenth birthday in her hometown there in Brazil,
she celebrates each and every year with their local professional
soccer team, who holds a celebration and has for more
than fifteen years. Now. She is the twentieth oldest person
(31:43):
ever documented and is only behind frenchwoman Janine Calamet, who
lived to be one hundred and twenty two years old.
Son's got it figured out a little over five years.
You could be the oldest person who's ever lived so far, though. Wow,
pretty impressive, all right. Feeling good comes at you a
couple times a day, all brought to you by her friends,
an overhead door company of grand rapids, inviting you to
open your doorty positively. We'll do it again tomorrow, six
(32:05):
forty five and nine twenty here on Star Mack
Speaker 4 (32:07):
And Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six am
on Star one oh five point seven
Wakem It gets my day going.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It makes me laugh.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I of it.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one O
five point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, good morning, Schmidty, good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Welcoming back to it. You know what it is? What
it's been more than two weeks Sin two and I
were together, It's been that. Look, how were you doing?
I was Christmas? How was New Year's? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Busy?
Speaker 5 (00:25):
I mean it's weird, right because I worked last week,
so I kind of updated everybody, and I think it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
A lot of people seem.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
To have gone back to work last week Thursdays, they
didn't have to use some of that beginning of.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
The year pto. But honestly, I.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
Am thrilled to be back to routine. We're going to
talk about that later this morning. When were your kids
done with break? Cuzah, they would prefer not to be sit.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
No mine headit, man.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
I mean, I've still got two kids that loved school,
crave routine. The two weeks was fun, but it was
it was intense, no bedtime, tons of different people, different houses, travel.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
They are thrilled to be back to school this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I was gonna say that all sounds like fun. I'm surprised,
like you know, sleeping in well seeing.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
My kids don't like what.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
So I think a lot of parents this morning are
probably feeling like I am. It's good to be back
to the routine, although I gotta tell you not like
the most helpful to stick a giant NFC Lions game
Sunday night, eight twenty while my six year old is
begging to stay up until eleven thirty to watch the
whole thing. So I think, no matter what, we're all
(01:36):
maybe slightly wrecked this morning from a bit of a
late night, but that's okay because we're gonna make it
a good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Hey, good morning, and you're probably feeling on cloud nine
if you stayed up and enjoyed that Lion's game last night,
as they are your back to back defending NFC North champions.
Not to mention the buy headed in the playoffs will
hit all of it this.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Morning, movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
It's the celebrities scoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, it was funny last night.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Half my social media timeline about the Lions, the other
half about the Golden Globes.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Award season is officially here with the very first big
Award show. Last night, the Golden Globes handed out with
Amelia Perez as a big winner, named the Best Motion
Picture Musical or Comedy, Best Non English Language Film, and
Zoe Saldana taking home the Best Supporting Actress award for
(02:30):
her performance. That was a big win considering the other
stars in that category. The Brutalist named Best Motion Picture Drama,
Adrian Brody won Best Actor in a Drama, Flow won
Best Animated Film, Wicked taking home the award for Cinematic
and Box Office Achievement. Other names you'll recognize taking home
(02:50):
big victories Haran Colkin, Jeremy Allen White, Colin Ferrell winning
for The Penguin, Demi Moore, and Jody Foster as well
with some really incredible acceptance speeches. Last night's host was
Nicky Glazer, who, by all accounts on the Internet this morning,
did a fantastic job. Oh no, no, I I know,
(03:11):
I'm sorry, I'm upset to the after party is not
gonna be as good this year, but we.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Have to move on. Fucking Diddy. I know, Stanley Tucci
freakoff just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
But.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
No, baby oil this year. Just lots of olive oil.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Okay, I mean she really took people down and everybody
seemed to love it so big night.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Amelia Perez is the name of that, right, Yeah, I
had never heard of that show one single time until
it's a movie. It's a movie exactly. The Brutalist hadn't
heard of that either.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
I hadn't heard the brutalist. Amelia Perez is everywhere. Selena Gomez,
Oh my gosh, it is an absolutely stacked cast.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's supposed to be pretty phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Did they go to streaming or was it ever like
in theaters and.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Everything in theaters. I don't know if it's on streaming yet.
And yeah, let's get to Nicki Mina. This is a
very interesting lawsuit that's stemming from her time in Detroit.
So according to her manager, who is now suing her,
following her April show at Little Caesar's, she apparently hit
him in the face so hard she knocked his head back.
(04:19):
Rapper being sued by Brandon Garrett, who claims he was
working as Nicky's manager during her tour earlier this year,
seeing she got real physical with him after Nicki sent
him on an Errand and then realized he had sent
someone else to pick up her prescriptions somewhere in Detroit.
She said that your life would be over struck him
(04:40):
got very physical. It's going to be interesting because apparently
update to this, there could be criminal charges here. Law
enforcement says the Detroit Police have actually sent a warrant
request to the Wayne County Prosecutor's office that is now
being reviewed to determine whether criminal issue. Criminal charges could
be an issue here. Nicky's lawyer is claiming no complaint
(05:04):
has been served upon Nicky. However, if the lawsuit is
as reported completely false and frivolous.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Be interesting to see if they have any video, any
kind of evidence, because that's what it would take to
probably bring charges, you.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Would think alca for some witnesses, AMers everywhere. Finally, President
Biden naming nineteen recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Those were given out over the weekend and included big
names like YouTube's Bono, Hillary Rodham, Clinton, Michael J. Fox,
Jane Goodall, Ralph Loreen, Lionel Messi, and our local boy,
(05:40):
Irvin Magic Johnson, the showtime era for.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
The Los Angeles Lakers, five time NBA champion, three time MVP,
twelve time All Star, Olympic gold medalists, and an A
Smith Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
How did the same bridlights is honesty about these HIV
status shattered stigma and saved lives.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
And they also celebrated him for all of his work
with underserved communities. Bill Ny the science guy also going
home with that Presidential Medal of Freedom. The best part
those two were so tall they actually had a duck
down for President Biden. Put the metal on with some
great video with your scoop at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I love these stories and I love this park as
a matter of fact as well. But around Christmas time,
SCHMITTI we got a Christmas time baby. It's feeling good
on Star Wing on Fine point seven, Mac and Schmitty
with you always here to spread a little positivity. And
how about getting out to see an amazing wild animal
who just came into this world right around Christmas Day.
I'm talking about a brand new baby giraffe just born
(06:45):
at Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park. Yes, this little giraffe,
or I should say big giraffe, came just around Christmas Day.
As I mentioned, six feet tall, one hundred pounds Schmidty,
I just think about that poor giraffe's mother, six feet
pilt Arnes, who both baby and its mom, Ginger, aren't healthy.
(07:06):
The park said Ginger's milk didn't come in. That happens
with giraffes too, so the park's been bottle feeding this
little newborn. This is the second calf for Ginger since
she arrived at Boulder Ridge. And if you have not
ever been over to Boulder Ridge Park there and fed
those giraffes, it is such a fun time with your kids.
And if you were unaware, giraffes tongues are black and
they are very long, and they will come down and
(07:26):
they will touch you just so you know, My kids
love that so good.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
This is such an incredible story.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Fifty one year old Danny Blanton and sixty year old
John Johnson lost touch with each other over twenty years
ago until a chance uber ride brought them back together again.
The two had owned a nightclub together, had gotten very
very close. They considered each other best friends. But you
know how it happens, sometimes you just kind of fall
(07:53):
out of touch. The wild moment was caught on Danny's
dash cam and has gone absolutely viral.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
John there, man, I'm great. How about yourself? I'm good.
Just keep it warm, right, said Windshield the day to kitchen. Yeah,
and Wi, what's her name? Her name is Danny?
Speaker 6 (08:15):
I don't know you, I don't know me.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah, go through.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It was such a cool moment.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
And actually spoke with People magazine about this viral video
and said it really was God's timing. Johnson was his
last pickup of the day and shortly after he stopped
driving uber. So the two have reconnected and they're making
up for a lot of lost time.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I mean, how wild is that to have experienced so
much in life and business, partners and things, and then
all of a sudden in the back of you were
over and you're just like, is it him? Is it
this guy?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
They're so excited.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I've got the whole video if you want to see
that moment on our Stories at West Michigan, Star.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Movies, Music and all the guys in one place.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
It's the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Just some really heartbreaking news to kick off Scoop with
filmmaker Jeff Bena, best known for directing films like Life
After Beth and The Little Hours. Also, the husband of
actress Aubrey Plaza has died. Law enforcement says police and
fire responded to an LA home Friday morning around ten
(09:25):
thirty for a death investigation after an assistant had discovered
him dead. Bena was pronounced dead at the scene. Law
enforcement says he died by suicide. Jeff got his film
degree at NYU and then launched his movie career working
with huge directors. He collaborated on screenplays including iHeart Huckabees
(09:46):
with Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin, who worked with John
c Riley, Molly Shannon who really gave a heartfelt tribute
last night. But it was his relationship with Aubrey Plaza
that led to some of the biggest projects. Back in
twenty two, twenty one, Aubrey revealed she and Jeff had
tied the knot after almost a decade of dating. Now
(10:06):
she has not officially issued a statement. The family says
they are absolutely devastated. Aubrey was set to present last
night at the Golden Globes, but of course opted not to.
Jeff was only forty seven.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, you super sad. You just never know what's going
on in someone's life like that.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yeah, it was a huge night last night in Detroit.
Quite a few celebrities made their way to Ford Field,
like Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, and Drew Brees. In fact,
you actually brought his kids and hung out for a
bit with Sheila Ford, Hamp Martha Ford and all those
big wigs at the game. Taylor Lautner of Twilight Fame
(10:50):
and his wife Taylor were also there, spotted wearing their
custom made Lions jackets. Other big stars Keegan Michael Keel,
Bob Cer, Tim Allen, Big Sean, Jeff Daniels. We saw
him do the intro to the big Sunday Night Football
and of course it wouldn't be a Lion's game without
(11:11):
the goat.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Eminem in the VP.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Sweet I thought this was really cool next to his
daughter Haley, so they put the camera up. He stands,
He's pounding his chest and Haley's very much giving me.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Oh my dad's so embarrassing vibes before she kind of
did the wave.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Of course, just an incredible night and we been mentioning
it all morning. Number one seed. That means the Lions
get a nice little break and a bye week to
kick off those playoffs.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
How good was that Jeff Daniels thing, though.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Everything Jeff Daniels does is good.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Put him next to a warring fireplace and make that
my Christmas yule log next year.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
It's like Mousterpiece Theater, but for Lions Fantasy.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I would put that on my TV.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Finally, it seemed like it might be a bit of
an awkward moment last night at the Golden Globes. Then
Diesel and Dwayne Johnson coming face to face because remember
they had that serious beef for quite a few years
after doing some work together in movies. So then took
to the stage to present the prize for Cinematic and
(12:16):
Box Office Achievement to Wicked. When he kind of looked
over into this par due it felt awkward, but not
at all. The two have really buried the hatchet. They
have actually come out and said that, of course Dwayne
is going to be making some recurring roles in future
Fast and Furious movies. They said, Hey, the beef officially
(12:37):
ended in twenty twenty three. This is just a really
fun way to kind of show the awkwardness is.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
No longer there.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I kind of liked the awkwardness. I'm fine if they
have a grudge while they work together. Now, no problems
with that.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
All of your celebscoob, including that full list of Golden
Globe winners from last night at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Good morning too. It's Mack and Schmide and here we go.
The kids headed back to school and some of them
more ready.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
I want to start by saying, thank you so much teachers.
Hope you had a nice, long, relaxing break and God
bless because I think on the other side of it,
we're all so ready my kids as I really learned
this break because I think they're now at the age
where I can start to pick up on this. While
(13:21):
my kid's a door routine like, they thrive with it.
So when you throw in two weeks of changing bedtimes,
a million different people, some of which they don't see,
a whole ton traveling cookies and sugar and more sugar.
Like we were melted down by about Friday. We really were.
(13:43):
And I think I was talking to a lot of
my friends and they're like, yeah, two weeks is a
long time. I love it, and the teachers deserve the break.
Don't get me wrong, but man, it was tough, and
I could figure out exactly the moment I went, man,
we are ready to go back. And that was on Friday.
(14:03):
We'd had some snow. We did this ledding thing and
we went over to the playground that's right in our
neighborhood and the kids were there. It's like one of
those really cool treehouse looking playgrounds. So they were playing
Harry Potter, pretending it was a castle, and all of
a sudden, I hear my daughter scream and lay down.
So I'm concerned, and I run over and she's pretending
(14:23):
to be petrified.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So if you.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Haven't read the books or seen the first couple of movies, right,
people you know see this snake spoiler alert and then
and then they're they're petrified, right, And so I go, oh, babe,
why are you pretending to be petrified?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And she opens one eye and she.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Goes because then I just get to lay down and
relax the rest of the time.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
And girls, I can't blame you.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
And I posted that video to TikTok and I have
gotten thousands of responses from parents that are like, oh,
my kids right there, And it's like, really wonderful to
have two weeks altogether until you realize they love people
other than.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
You, maybe a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Like I put Will to bed last night and he goes,
I cannot wait to see missus Johns tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And I was like, I have a nice time with you,
but he goes, yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Tomorrow's going to be really cool, and I need to
go to bed right now so that it comes faster.
Like there's just it's a lovely time. But man, oh man,
my kids need routine.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
See it's funny because I gotta I'm just gonna go
ahead and shout out all of the parents of children
who they are are the exact opposite. My kids like school,
but not like that. And when you mentioned all the
things about break ooh, the changing of bedtimes, the traveling,
the seeing people that you don't get to see very often,
the cookies, all the snacks and everything else. Instead of
those being the reasons they're overwhelmed, those are the reasons
(15:49):
they do not want to go back to school. Greatest thing. Yeah,
last night when we had to put them to bed
at their normal bedtime of like eight thirty. Again, you
know how insulted my children were by the idea of it.
Like it's been two weeks of ten o'clock or later bedtimes,
and natally we're back in prison of having to go
to sleep at eight thirty.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Uh well, I gotta tell you the people listening are
definitely on my side, VICKI. I think my kids were
done with their break about a week and a half ago.
Uh mjay, Oh, my kids are super excited to go back.
Not nearly as excited as Momy.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
You're at the facts with human torch was denied at.

Soond fine schmiddy woman breaks jaw biting into jawbreaker candy. Yeah,
a student had to have her jaw wired shut for
six weeks after she broke it on a jawbreaker candy

Speaker 3 (18:35):
This week's headlines to city. Great ones out there, always
send them our way, Facebook and Instagram, at West Michigan, Star.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Well, I gotta be honest if you have not yet
seen enough proof that the Detroit Lions could indeed be
a super Bowl bound team. Last night's game was it
grabbing that number one seed in the conference first round,
by which means they'll get to rest up before having
a playoff game at home the NFC North Crown.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Second season in a row. This was huge.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
I gotta talk for a second about that end zone.
The Vikings had twelve plays in the red zone, not
once crossing the goal line.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Two of those times they.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Were first and goal at the Lions five and still
held to no touchdowns. It was an incredible moment. You
could hear it in Dan Campbell's voice. Quick moment from
him in the locker room.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
You guys, look, you.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Remember who you are.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
That's a helpful win.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Guys. All I can think about is, man, we've been
forcing this stuff now. This has been three years into
making some of it. Four like that, did something happen?
You gotta walk through it, grind through it, and go
through the down to get to the up to where
we're at, winners back to.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
I can't imagine why people want to run through a
wall for that guy.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Well, and I want to point out if you follow
Sunday Scaries on Instagram, Dan made his first debut on
it yesterday with his cute dogs.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
That's really worth looking at.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
But a lot of people are talking about this really
classy move post game. Did you catch what he said
to Viking's head coach Kevin O'Connell take a listen, might.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Send you two weeks playoff three minute.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Isn't that sweet? I'll see you in two weeks.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
It's only sweet if it ends like it did last night.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
That's that's the only way it's Yeah, so I've got
a ton of highlights, including all the celebrities that were
at ford Field last night at West Michigan Star dot
Com Let's Head to Golden Globes coverage that was also
on last night, And not only was after Zendaia turning
heads in her stunning orange gown, but fans also noticed
(21:00):
a very big ring on that very important finger. That's right,
fans immediately jumping into the comments after pictures started to
surface of her on the red carpet congratulating her on
an engagement, waiting to hear if she's actually engaged to
her longtime boyfriend after Tom Holland. The two have been
(21:20):
dating since twenty twenty one after meeting on the Spider
Man Homecoming set. We haven't heard anything official. It's hard
because a lot of times with the jewelry, you can
find it on that finger, but this, I would not
be surprised. This does look engagement ringing to me. But
I can't imagine she would sport it on the red
carpet if she wasn't ready to announce it.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Those two, I feel like they do things in their
own world and then just don't talk about anything like
it wouldn't surprise me if she weren't on the red
carpet and then just ignored everything else.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
See, it would surprise me. They're really private and I
don't know. We'll see. So far, neither one of their
teams are talking about this.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Finally, Joe Alwyn, you know, Taylor Swift's ex boyfriend, reflecting
on the scrutiny surrounding his relationship with Taylor Still he
is in an interview with the Guardian, admitting he is
always attempted to tune out what he calls the noise
about his six year relationship with Taylor, saying, if you
let all that other stuff in, it starts to affect you,
(22:19):
and then you're living from the outside in and then
you're pretty screwed. He and his family and friends keep
him tethered to the ground, and then he says, listen,
we broke up in.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Twenty twenty three. I have moved on from this public chatter.
We're talking about something that's a while ago now and
we're both very happy.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I feel bad almost for him, because he is going
to be regulated to being a chapter in her eventual book,
and people will not let this die. They want to
know the dirty secrets. They want to know what made
them break up after six years together. They want to
get all of those details. And I don't think they're
ever going to let this guy live until they.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Have a she like Mary's Travis. I figured, just move
on people. All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan.

Where are you calling from the swarm? Bree Hollin? All right,
well let's get you into the home opener for our
Grand Rapids Rise Brie. You gotta tell me. When one
hundred men were asked to name a famous doll, what
was their top answer?
Speaker 7 (24:30):
One hundred.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
If you have one hundred men, it was probably Chucky. Man,
it's so funny that you said that, because I was
about to give you the hints that again, it's one
hundred men who were asked this question, because I thought
that that would be a nice hint for getting you
to go exactly where you went, and that's the creepiest
doll ever created. Chucky is the top answer.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I thought for sure people are gonna get tripped up
on this one, but you knew right where the dude's
brains were go, and they went to that ver fine
ginger Dell. Chucky literally made me afraid. I actually that
was one of the first horror movies I saw as
a kid, and I didn't have a Chucky Dolls. I
wasn't worried about that, but that movie freaked me out
so bad because I thought maybe some of my other
(25:15):
stuffed animals might come alive take me out in the
middle of the night. Yeah, very scary stuff. So Chucky
top answer, followed by Barbies of course, cabbage Patch Dolls
rounding out those top three. Congratulations, bring you're going to

And as the kids head back from Christmas break, Schmitty,
you know, the holidays I feel like officially over for
most people here. However, I gotta ask, is the Christmas trees.
(26:00):
I'm actually dying to know the answer to this for you,
because I know that you guys, you decorate pretty quick.
You get your decorations up there are they already down
to the down?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Fast?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
You took them? What day to day it.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Took them down? I'm trying to think, what did I talk.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Tuesday New Year's Eve because we were having a bunch
of speople over and no, I saw this great meme
over the weekend from a mom that was like the
way I work so hard for Christmas, cozy magic and
then within a night, well then rage clean and take
it all down. Should be studied because it's like I
(26:37):
love it, love it, love it. The second that hits.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
For me gone, you're ready for it to be holed.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I need it all down. Our community is picking up
all the Christmas trees this morning.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Big gone see. I mean, I get your your thoughts
on that, I get your philosophy. I even have several
listeners who answered this question on there who said the
twenty sixth that baby's.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Eyes and I like it into the New year, but
like it just felt so cluttered.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
So normally we are a January second family. January second
day after New Year's Day, all the Christmas stuff is
gone like a you're usually still on break. So it's like,
just get rid of all of this stuff. You have
the opportunity to do it, and we're past it. This
year we left, we traveled during the holidays. We left
on like the twenty ninth, and we got back and
(27:20):
our trees looking good, and we gave that thing a
whole bunch of water afterwards, and the needles are still
all on it. So my kids asked their I was like, so,
were we going to take this thing down yesterday? And they
were like, no, can we leave it up for an
extra week? We're going to leave ours up because our
kids did not feel like they got enough Christmas tree
time during the holiday season this year.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Shout out to Cassandra. I know she listens, and I
saw a really cool posts from her. Her daughter has
a mid January birthday. They keep their tree up and
take the ornaments down and decorate it in all pink
and things that she loves and makes it a birthday tree.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
That's pretty awesome and Iley like.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Man, girl, that's a good hack for those January birthdays.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Hold on for the December ones, though, you could. I'm
December twenty. If you're telling me, my parents could have
given me a birthday tree, any year and every Christmas.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
You just know you're never going to get what you want.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
I can't wait to talk to my therapist some down
because I'd.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Get a good feeling.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Yeas telling a fine point. Shevin, ma, could you be
gonna get your feeling good right now? What's going on? Manne?
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Well, if you're in the moon for a little road trip,
I bet you have seen this everywhere. This morning, a
bakery over on the east side of the state celebrating
the Lion's success by making an aman Ra Saint Brown cake.
You know, the infamous headstand he did after that big
packer win back at the beginning of November. Well, Heather Toco,
(28:40):
the owner of Rochester's Home Bakery, knew it was iconic enough.
She'd seen it on so many things it was time
to put her.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Own twist on it. Speaking with Box two.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
The image of Saint Brown on his head became iconic.
I was seeing it on socks, Christmas ornaments. Was kind
of a no brainer for.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
That's right, let's make it into a cake. And it
was truly a labor of love. Her team of twelve
took almost a month to design this thing, bake it,
and put it in the front display window, where it
has become the talk of the town, not just for
those in Rochester. This thing is about six feet tall,
(29:22):
she said, everything had details, paid attention to it, and
now it's gone viral on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
She said.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
The fact that it's over six feet and we had
to bake it with him on his head to make
sure that it wouldn't tip over took a lot of time.
Plus we spared no detail, the German flag on his helmet,
his cleats, every single detail eventually caught the attention of
Saint Brown's people.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
His people have they were in of of it, and
they had said as soon as they got it, they
immediately contacted him and said we got to connect the
two of you.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
So while you can't eat any part of this cake
because it's been going for about a month now, you
don't want to do that to your gi track.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
She says.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
There are tons of fun goodies and Lions themed treats
inside if you want to stop out the home baker
in Rochester.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I mean, that is so cool. One hundred and sixty
hours plus I show it for them to make it
schmitty and also tell me there isn't some groom or
couple that's planning to get married here in the next
few months that isn't liked.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Make that my cake top.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I discovered No forget to make that your whole wedding
cake all over it.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
I loll the cake topper because then you get to
keep it and you can continue that incredible record. I've
got the video for you at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
All right, since the new year, so let's talk about
something old that's new, and that's the new oldest person
on the planet, Ina Cannaborro. She's an one hundred and
sixteen year old none from Brazil. Schmitty now recognized that
the oldest living person because just last month, sadly, the
former oldest person, Japan's Tamiko Ituka, was born on January
(31:00):
was born previous to Cannabero, who was born June eighth,
nineteen oh eight. Smitty nineteen oh eight. She says it
was her Catholic faith that has allowed her to age
so well. She says, I'm young, pretty and friendly, all
very good positive quality. Says, if that's all it takes.
She is the second oldest nun ever recorded. Schmidty at
(31:22):
one hundred and sixteen years old. She was actually honored
by Pope Francis on her one hundred and tenth day,
one hundred and tenth birthday in her hometown there in Brazil,
she celebrates each and every year with their local professional
soccer team, who holds a celebration and has for more
than fifteen years. Now. She is the twentieth oldest person
(31:43):
ever documented and is only behind frenchwoman Janine Calamet, who
lived to be one hundred and twenty two years old.
Son's got it figured out a little over five years.
You could be the oldest person who's ever lived so far, though. Wow,
pretty impressive, all right. Feeling good comes at you a
couple times a day, all brought to you by her friends,
an overhead door company of grand rapids, inviting you to
open your doorty positively. We'll do it again tomorrow, six
(32:05):
forty five and nine twenty here on Star Mack
Speaker 4 (32:07):
And Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six am
on Star one oh five point seven
