Speaker 1 (00:03):
Wake up. It gets my day going.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It makes me laugh.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Oh, good morning, Smitty, Good morning. Welcome into your Thursday.
We get't eve around.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Here, right, but a cold start. Man, If those kids
are giving you any battle about coats and mittens and gloves,
go ahead and tell them it was twelve when I
drove in today, so you need to be bundled up
for the bus stop this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And it's not much you have any warmer right now either,
as we've got temperatures in those mid teens out there
across West Michigan today with highs getting into the mid
to upper twenties in some places for sure. But yeah,
that cold streak continues for us, and really not too
much of an end in sight. But speak at a temperature.
I want to ask you something real quick, because I
came in this morning and you you always are here
(00:55):
before me. Yeah, and you were in the studio first.
Did you have to turn on the heat this morning?
It was pumping air, pumpy cold air. It's so it
must have been, cause that makes sense to me because
I came in and it is seventy six degrees in
here right now, and the heat was a blast, And
all I kept thinking.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Was give me my dream.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Actually that's how I felt. I was like, love it.
The cold snap that we're in. This actually feels fantastic,
except it made me want to curl up in a
ball immediately go right back to sleep.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Well, the destruction in southern California due to those wildfires
is truly unbelievable, and now celebrities that had evacuated are
learning their houses are no more. Video surfacing showing properties
owned by big names like Billy Crystal, Eugene Levy, and
John Goodman are now reduced to ashes. For instance, Billy
(01:55):
lived in his home for forty five years with his wife.
This is where they first moved.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
He said.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
It is absolutely devastating. I truly can't even wrap my
mind around what we've lost. Dozens of celebrities continue to
be evacuated, over one hundred and thirty thousand as of
this morning now with evacuation orders with two thousand structures
being destroyed as a fourth fire has now started in
(02:21):
the Hollywood Hills, which has evacuated more celebrities, including Mandy
Moore and comedian Whitney Cummings. Lots of video surfacing on
Instagram as well of just very emotional families being moved
to hotels. The Beverly Hills Hotel, it's being reported, is
at capacity with celebs, their kids, their pets. This is
truly a nightmare, and so far at least three of
(02:44):
those fires are at zero percent containment this morning.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I mean absolutely devastating. If the celebrity aspect of it
a shive, I don't think I've ever I don't ever
remember a fire going through this populated of an area
one hundred and thirty thousand people.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
That's what the governor was saying. He said the Paradise
fire was the worst in US history, but we've never
seen this kind of damage in under twenty four hours,
he said, There's no doubt this is going to be
absolutely unfathomable. There's video also surfacing this morning of actor
Ashton Kutcher helping one of his best friends try to
save his home with a garden house. We've seen a
(03:23):
lot of these images. You can see him trying to
douse plants, trees the roof of his buddy's house, as
his next door neighbor's home is literally burning to the ground.
It is so unbelievable. Firefighters are now faced with the
problem that fire hydrants are out of water. A lot
of the places that they're working to fight these fires,
they just don't have the resources because the entire system
(03:46):
is so mixed to capacity. Twitch's widow, Alison Holker, said
she has a good reason for headed on this media
blitz and talking about Stephen Twitch boss's alleged drug price
prob She's just trying to help others. So I had
this story yesterday. Lots of Twitches family and friends have
(04:07):
been attacking her very publicly on social media, saying she
is using this for a paycheck. How dare she tarnish
his reputation when he's no longer here to speak for himself.
Alison finally speaking up about the barrage of attacks, saying,
I want to be clear, my only intention in writing
the book is to share my own story as well
as part of my life with Stephen, to help other
(04:28):
people just like you. I never really knew what happened,
and even as I'm trying to put the pieces together.
I'll never really know if you decide to read the book,
her memoir she's talking about that drops in February.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Hopefully you'll see.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
My intention is to celebrate the love and life I
shared with Stephen and our three beautiful children, and also
the more complex aspects of both of our lives. Sharing
our full story, maybe I can help someone else who
might see themselves or a loved one in Stephen. It's
just a piece of a paragraph long statement yesterday.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I'll be honest. It gives me just the ick a.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Little bit, don't like when the person's not here that
really it's.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Like, and it feels soon, It feels really soon to
be like, oh, and you know, and here's my book.
You're telling you all about this, And.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Maybe if it wasn't the book, like maybe if you
were just coming out to be like, I'm here to
help people, not I'm also here to hawk a memoir
that I'm hoping to make millions of dollars on I
don't know. You can see the full statement with your
scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Sometimes because I get a good feeling just timing on
fine point, seeven I was here to perk you up
a little, but that feeling good right now. And this
is just awesome to see. Farris State University football coach
Tony and Niese, who of course guided the Bulldogs to
their third NCAA Division two National championship in just four years,
(05:48):
was just named the very first ever recipient of the
Walter Camp Division two Coach of the Year Award this season,
also honored as the D two football dot Com National
Coach the Year Award for the third time in his career.
I mean, he has absolutely crushed it as the head
coach of Faris State this season fourteen and one national champs.
(06:08):
Of course, on top of it, in his twelfth season,
he has the highest win percentage of any Division two
coach A coaching today, just unbelievable, the top of his
game and now given the highest honor for the very
first time. Pretty awesome.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
So let's go to the Wings game the other night.
I know it was a super awesome win as they
took on the Ottawa Senators and ended up with a
three to two victory. And ot still not as cool
as a couple of nuns that showed up on the
JumboTron and had the audience on their side.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Remember when they go back and forth to twin people.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Oh my gosh, you could see how excited they were,
just big smiles. And it turns out it was a
couple of the Chaldean sisters from Daughters of Mary Immaculate,
the Chaldean Diocese actually sharing the video on their Instagram
yesterday saying a beautiful capture of pure joy, smile and laughter.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It's so cute. I put it on her INSTA Stories
at West Michigan.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Star c thees, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
It's the celebrities group on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Well now, danger has erupted in southern California as a
fourth wildfire started late last night in the Hollywood Hills area.
That means more celebrities evacuated. More than one hundred and
thirty thousand people have been evacuated, five confirmed dead, and
two thousand structures burned. That includes quite a few celebrity homes.
(07:49):
It was announced yesterday Anna Faris has completely lost her home.
Adam Brody and wife leyton Mester, along with their two children,
evacuated in time, but they're home in Ashes and Paris
Hilton actually saw and watched her Malibu home burn to
the ground on live television. Now again, very fortunate that
(08:12):
they have probably the money to rebuild when so many
others are an absolute devastation. Remember I told you yesterday
about MTV reality stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag who
lost their home actually watched it burn live on their
ring cam. It's just really really devastating stuff. That's four
wildfires that continue to burn this morning, as Governor Newsom
(08:35):
has announced more than seventy five hundred additional firefighters.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Have been sent.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I mean, it's so insane, and you know, these celebrities
losing your home and I don't mean to take away
from that that's an impossible thing. But man, for all
the people without the means of these celebrities out there
who are dealing with this, just devastating to go through
that populated.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Well, let's give a big shout out to the firefighters
as well. There's spent a ton of video surfacing of
them attempting to pull valuables out of people's homes. Pictures,
photo albums, grandfather clocks, things that look like they're any
kind of sentimental value. They've actually been piling them up
on the sidewalks across the street, hoping they saved at
least something for these families.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Do you think we're going to see looters because of
it being celebrities that we're going to see next two jerks?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Have you seen the pictures? Absolute ashes? I mean, there's
nothing to loot. This is really shocking news. Actress Jessica
Alba and her husband Cash Warren are calling it quits
after seventeen years of marriage. I honestly actually gasped what
I saw this last night. Sources to say the couple
(09:36):
are already separated and moving forward with divorce. Unclear what
brought them to this decision. There have been some signs
of public trouble. They've both been out and spotted without
their wedding rings. Most recently, Jessica was at a pre
Golden Globes party last weekend without cash and without her ring.
(09:57):
But it's just really sad because they've also got kids.
They've been together for so long that no doubt money
is going to be an issue here. Not sure if
there was a pre nup, but they've got a sixteen,
twelve and a seven year old.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Well, and you said prenups, She's got that, honest company
that she was a huge part of that made her
a billionaire, right or something close to that will.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Be very interesting.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
And finally, Travis Kelsey has obviously given at least a
little bit of thought to wedding dates as his romance
with Taylor Swift continues. And remember they have not confirmed
to even being engaged. But yesterday on the New Heights podcast,
they took a call from a buddy wondering if there's
any problem with fall wedding dates.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
You got to be willing to, you know, find a
weekend where the team isn't playing anybody good. Maybe Also,
if you really do have a problem with that, maybe
it's in her best interest to not have it in
the fall so that she knows you're invested in the
anniversary every time it comes around. I mean, I've seen
weddings in February. I've seen weddings everywhere but the fall.
(11:00):
So I'm not sure if the Fall is a good
wedding season.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Gotta tell you, I do take Travis's side.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
We made very sure when we got married that college
season had not started yet.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Priorities.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I like it, you know what, people sitting at your
big ceremony with all their phones out catching the action.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
You can see more from that interview.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Jason Kelsey had quite a bit to say with your
scoop at West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Com te It's Mack and Schmidian a cold Thursday morning,
thanks for being with us. So I am living this
life so much middy, because I would do so much
less if it weren't for all the things my kids
have to do.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Because like, do you have a social life or is
it just revolving around being your kid's chaperone.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It's not only just revolves around becoming my kids chaperone.
As you continue to have your kids get older, all
of their friend's parents suddenly become your friends, and then
you're doing things together before you.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
We're already there, and mine are only three and six.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Wild Yes, Oh, I was thinking about this yesterday because
Will gets home from school and he's gotten another birthday invitation,
which I love, and I really love that he's at
the age still where like everybody gets invited to birthday parties,
which is an entirely separate conversation, but just exactly how
I think you should do it, so nobody feels left out.
But I'm looking and I'm like Okay, this is like
(12:15):
the fourth one we've been invited to in like a
month and a half, and he's bummed, so he can't go.
We're gonna be in Detroit next weekend. But then I'm
looking through and we also just did swim lesson sign up,
and we made sure that we matched the schedule with
our next door neighbors because they're best friends. And then
we just signed up for soccer and made sure that
our friends up the street were also like within that
(12:37):
same time. And then Sophie is joining a dance class
because the two kids that we walk home from school
with have little siblings that are doing a dance class
with her.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I'm sitting there.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Just malaise over my face, like, oh my god, so
much stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And honestly, we're not like we're not even like most families.
I think we have a pretty unscheduled life right now,
because that's how I want it to be with my kids.
But I'm sitting there going I literally just scheduled a
playdate for myself and my best friend for two and
a half months from now. It was like, do you
(13:09):
want to meet up on March eighth? And then I'm
scrolling through Instagram last night, and I see this new
interview that's out in Bustle, the magazine with Brenda Song,
who's of course married to Macaulay Culkin, and she just
says Mac and I are both very anti social. Trust
me when I tell you our kids have more of
a social calendar than I have ever and will ever have,
(13:34):
and it's very hard for us introverts. I just thought
I would love to hear from a parent that thinks
they have a busier social calendar than their kids.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
It's just wild to me.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, I don't feel like that can really be happening
in school, especially the ages where they're doing all the sports. Right,
are you still taking.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
If you have four and five kids?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Can you please call us six one six four one
oh five seven, because I literally don't know how you
handle it. I can remember getting my driver's license at sixteen,
and my mom handed me a piece of paper that
had the entire schedule for my three brothers, and she went, Okay,
which ones do you want? And I will take the
(14:14):
rest because now that you're a driver, you will be
heading to baseball, to swimming, to soccer to theater.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
That's just insane.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
That was a more special day for your mom, by
the way, than several of your birthdays, your graduation day.
I mean like that was the day she was looking
forward to like a kid on Christmas Shore.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
She took me to the Secretary of State and asked
if I was able to get it before my official
she was like, if they were open at midnight on
April fifth, I would have had that license in your hand.
Do you have a busier social calendar than your kids?
I think that's who I want.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
To talk to.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
What's taking up most of your time heading into this
new year with the family six one six, four five eight,
one oh five seven, Or send us a talk bag
just by opening that new eye, Heart radio.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
App, movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Wildfires continue to burn in southern California, with four major
fires now. The Sunset fire burst last night in the
Hollywood Hills area, leading to more evacuations, especially among celebrities
where now Learning talk show host Ricky Lake has confirmed
her house is gone. Fashion police Melissa Rivers gone. Mandy
(15:32):
Moore says everything in their neighborhood is gone, including her
kids' school. They're still not sure on the status of
their home. Jamie Lee Curtis telling people listen to the
evacuation orders. This is serious, describing the blaze as.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
A quote hellscape.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Meanwhile, the NFL is keeping a very close eye on
the wildfires. The Vikings are scheduled to travel to Inglewood
for a Monday night football matchup up in just days
against the Rams at Sofi Stadium. The NFL says they
are continuing to prepare as if Monday Night's playoff game
will happen at SOFI. However, the league confirmed yesterday they
(16:11):
have locked down an alternate site in the event they're
forced to move the game. It will be played at
State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I mean football obviously being the secondary issue there, but
you think about like the sixty thousand fans that we're
planning to be at the game in LA.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
It ends with us.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Controversy continues, so many things back and forth between director
and co star Justin Baldoni and actress Blake Lively. While
New drama As, an episode of The Meghan Kelly Show
featured an appearance by Baldoni's lawyer, Brian Freeman, when Meghan
played an audio clip allegedly from Baldoni complaining about being
(16:52):
sidelined at the film's New York premiere back in August.
This is when we were just starting to hear some
rumblings of this drama.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Could have been one of the most beautiful nights of
my life career wise. I literally was sent to the
basement with my whole all my friends and family for
over an hour because I wasn't allowed to be seen.
She didn't want me anywhere near her the rest of
the cast, so they ushered me off the carpet and
they sent us down to the basement. We were down
(17:20):
there together, my friends and family, the people that love
me the most, and we start laughing because of the
ridiculousness of this whole thing.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
He said they were forced to be down there about
for an hour and a half because Blake would not
share the red carpet with him. The director, adding a
moment which was supposed to be so materialistically joyful, instead
sent him into a spiral on why he ever decided
to pursue filmmaking to begin with.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
You know, if I'm the craziest part about this whole thing, Schmetti,
is that the movie these two did together carries a
lot of the same themes as what's happening to them now,
and that's what we've been saying from the beginning.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
So odd and a lot of people pointing out that
Jenny Slat, who's also in the movie, is like one
of the only cast members that has not said a
word about this yet. And remember, we're still supposed to
hear more from Baldoni as he has not actually sued
Blake just yet, and his lawyer says, there are so
many receipts is going to completely change how you feel
about her. Finally, in other news, with the wildfires big delays,
(18:23):
the OSCAR nominations have officially been delayed because of those
catastrophic fires in LA. The big January seventeenth announcement has
now been moved to the nineteenth, and they've extended the
voting period as well. Meanwhile, the Critics' Choice Awards, which
was supposed to go down, has been delayed as well.
That new date has not yet been announced. All of
(18:43):
your CELEBSCU but West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Saday's time to battle and land you at the home
opener for the second inaugural season of our Grand Rapids
Rise Professional Women's Volleyball tea.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I'm so excited for this.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
It's Sunday Night six with the Omaha super Novas coming
into town.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
That was the.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Championship game last year. This thing could sell out. We're
that close, so you can win your tickets right now.
With today's battle question and the number one answer one
hundred women surveyed, give something a baby will not remember
from their first birthday.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
So I've read this question Smittian. Of course the correct
answer is anything you canna remember anything from your first birthday,
but that is not on the list of answers.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I mean, I'm not gonna say anything because, like my
sister in law tends to listen on the iHeartRadio app,
and my nephew turns one next weekend, So I'm just
gonna say everything, Babe. The months and months of work
you have put into that first birthday party is going
to be totally worth it. Six one six, four five, eight,
one oh five seven collar seven. Give us that number
one answer one hundred women's surveyed, Give something a baby
(19:50):
will not remember from their first birthday, and you are
going to see the Grand Rapids Rise with star Win oh,
five point seven, Good.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Morning, Star. Who's this gos Tim? We're calling from today?
All right, Tim, let's see if we can get you
to the Grand Rapids Rise this weekend. Got to tell me,
one hundred women, we're asked to name something a baby
is not going to remember about their first birthday party,
and I already did say that the only correct answer,
which is anything a baby's not gonna remember anything from
(20:18):
their first birthday party, is not on the list of
these answers. So what do you think it is? Tim?
You're gonna go with the cake? Yeah, you know, you
get to smash that bad boy, pile it into your
face like every one year old does. Cake is the
number four most common answer, though, I'm sorry, Tim, thanks
to thank you?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Hi Star.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Who's this who?
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Jill?
Speaker 9 (20:39):
Jill?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Where are you calling from today? I Jill? One hundred women,
we're asked to name something a baby will not remember
about their first birthday party, and Tim just gave me
the number four most common answer was the cake, but
that was not the top answer. So you got a
chance here, Jill. What do you think it is? The
presence the toys? Yeah, most often, they're probably gonna be
(20:59):
more entered hanged by the wrapping paper, than they are
very they were bought for sure.
Speaker 10 (21:04):
That's why toys is the number one answer can to episodes.
Yeah presents toys, followed by yes, then the party itself
and cake, rounding out those top answers. Well done, Jill,
You're going to our Grand Rapids Rise home opener.
Speaker 11 (21:18):
Awesome, so excited.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yeah, it's gonna be a great time and hopefully we'll
get your family into Battle of the Sexiness again tomorrow
eight fifteen. Here on start. I'm on a fine point, Seah,
Good morning to you. It's Mack and Schmidty, and I
gotta talk about your underwear right now, Schmitty, all right,
at yours specifically everything all right?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Hr is in lake, out of state, right.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That's true?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
So I saw this survey yesterday and it's just been
like boiling in my brain because I have never encountered
anyone who has talked about this with me at all
in my life. So they surveyed two thousand US adults,
even guys and girls, and it turns out that more
than half of people Schmidty walk around or go around
(21:59):
with an extra pair of underwear at all times. Does
this surprise you.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Give it outside of traveling, just every day you've got
an extra pair.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Day they bring an extra pair of underwear. And it's
insane to me because it says over half do it.
Seventy percent of people, by the way, say they've needed
an extra pair of underwear somehow. We've all been there
for sure. But like, the part that really got me
is that younger generations are the ones that are really
doing this the most. Gen Z sixty percent of them
(22:29):
bring an extra pair of underwear every birthday.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Go, yeah, that doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Millennials, fifty seven percent of you, what is happening is
what is wrong with your You an't.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Want to be prepared.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
It doesn't mean you necessarily have to have it, but
in the event, what are you supposed to do?
Speaker 7 (22:44):
So?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Thirty nine percent of people who said they carry the
underwear with them all the time said it's because they're
worried about having an accident all right. Thirty seven percent
say they know it's because they're going to change clothes
at some point in eighteen percent because they're slobs and
they're likely to spill.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Something up there.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
I love that, Like when I change clothes, I want
to change all my clothes straight from like this weekend,
I go straight from a bridal show to an athletic event.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I'm I'm gonna change my draws.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
But that's you having an event something going on. This
is an every day occurrence that the yeah high school.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I get done with my show here and then I
have a client meeting. What am I supposed to go
to them and be like, Hey, I've had two kids
and things got weird today and I don't have a
change of undies.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
So my other question, do you have a pair of
underwear in your trunk of your car? I know that's
like the treasure truck.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I've got my front.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Seat, got it underwear in the front seat for car, right.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I am prepared for anything.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
If I were to go off the road, I could
survive with clean panties for like three days.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I've never met a single man in my life that
has been like, oh, yeah, I got my sundies. It's
all good. Like we just walk around The men are gross, maybe,
but just never trust a farch. Maybe if you just never.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Trust, let me tell you your men, you should be
walking around with an extra pair set a five point seven.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Let's get you feeling good.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
Some down?
Speaker 9 (24:02):
Does that get a good feeling?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Well, we've all been talking about the giant Amen Ross
Saint Brown cake over in Rochester at Home Bakery. This
took one hundred and sixty hours to create the very
iconic headstand he pulled off right after that big Packer victory. Well,
during his podcast yesterday, Saint Brown said he has connected
(24:27):
with bakery owner Heather Tooco and plans to visit Rochester
to see the life size edible replica for himself.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
But it's not just the chance to get a little
taste of what she's made.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
He also wants to promote the incredible local business.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
So guess what.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
If you feel like taking a little road trip to Rochester,
you could purchase any item at Home Bakery between January
thirteenth and January sixteenth, and get this, you're entered to
win two home playoff tickets to the Divisional round game
for our Lions next week.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Raphael, We're gonna pull random It's gonna be random selection
one person and then a plus one to go to.
This game is gonna be rocking. I promise you, I'm
gonna take care of you with the seats I got you.
But shout out to Home Bakery, man, the cake is lit,
it's nuts, it's nuts.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
And Heather actually spoke with Channel seven and said it's
not just her bakery. All of the businesses along that
stretch have seen added traffic because of Saint Brown talking
about it.
Speaker 11 (25:28):
The community is reaching out, phone calls are stopping in,
fellow merchants in Rochester, you know, kind of giving us
pats on the back over it. It's been humbling.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
It's really cool and I just love that he's using
that platform to promote local business. So again, between January
thirteenth and the sixteenth, if you had to Rochester and
purchase anything from Home Bakery, you could find yourself at
that divisional round game with our Lions.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Honestly, it might kind of worth the trip, kind of
hurt the trip all on its own. Right. There's Schmidde.
She is a legally blind mother of nine from right
here in West Michigan, and she just did something absolutely incredible. Again,
legally blind, but not stopping her from climbing to the
to the peak of Pike's Peak in Colorado over fourteen
(26:18):
thousand feet. See. Originally, jan was diagnosed with a rare
genetic eye disease that basically slowly eroded her vision until
she was legally blind. Well, she did happen to see
a photo of that Pike's Peak back in twenty twenty three,
and she just said, I have to do this, declared
online that she was gonna do it. As she told
to Fox seventeen, I.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
Just decided, you know what, I walk by faith and
not by sight. And I just got more and more excited.
My life just took on this excitement again, and you're living.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I love that I walked by faith and not by sight.
And over the next year she prepped forward, and then
in August of last year, she flew to Colorado and
began that fourteen thousand foot climb. It did not come
without some pretty tough obstacles.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
I can't be looking around, I had to follow the
feet in front of me. Did take a fall, did
get four stitches in my forehead.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
The hell got four stitches in her forehead, Not stopping
jan though, she continued on right through it until she
reached that mountain top.
Speaker 8 (27:18):
It was just amazing to just finally leave the tree
line and just be out there, you know, with nothing
around you but clouds and rock and beauty. Once you
come through your hard times, there is a healing that
takes place.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Fourteen thousand foot climb. What an inspiration. It's amazing for
her nine kids and for all of us too. Feeling
good coming at you twice and they always want to
share some positivity with you. In a big thank you
for making it possible from our friends at Overhead Door
Company of Grand Rapids, Reminding you to open your day
positively with feeling good every morning six forty five and
