Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well, good mornings, really good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Welcome into your Monday. Hopefully you had a fantastic weekend.
Started out pretty warm out there, making it foggy of
course across some areas here in West Michigan too. But yeah,
following up kind of an up and down weekend where
we had a day that was like in the twenties
with feels like in the fifteens and tens, and then
a nice forty degree day to go with it.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Well, be honest, I didn't that spend a lot of
time outside this weekend. I had a bunch of people
over on Saturday. I worked yesterday for the Rise. So yeah,
I'm just I don't know, ready to tackle the week,
I guess.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Speaking of those ries, little Ben's streak we got going on.
Speaker 3 (00:47):

It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Well, last night was the big night in music as
this year's Grammy Awards went down in La and I
mentioned a major of beef actually ending at the awards show,
not between artists, but between the Weekend and the Grammy. So,
if you recall, the Weekend has been calling out the
Grammys for years for lack of transparency and in fact
(01:42):
that he would be refusing to ever perform or present.
That changed last night. Harvey Mason Junior is the Recording
Academy CEO that had this to say before introducing the Weekend.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
So over the past few years, we've listened, we've acted,
and we've changed. Music is a powerful force for good.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
It heals us, it.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Unites us, and we need that in the city right now.
With that in mind, on a truly special night, what
better way to bring us together than this next artist.
Someone was seeing the work the Academy has put in.
I'm so honored to leave you with a sentence that
I wasn't sure would ever be set on the Grammy
stage again. My friends, my fellow music makers, please join
(02:26):
me in welcoming back none other than four time Grammy
winning artists and global superstar The Weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, and it was an incredible performance. Big winners last night.
We got to talk Beyonce Album of the Year finally,
as well as Best Country Album. We saw Best Pop
Vocal Album go to Sabrina Carpenter, Best New Artist Chapel
Roon and not surprising Record of the Year and Song
(02:56):
of the Year. Your super Bowl halftime performer, Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I thought I watched the first hour and a half
of the Grammys or so, and I thought it was great.
Like I mean, now got a good thing. The Weekend's
performance that you talked about. It was unreal, Like all
of a sudden, these arms are all coming up out
of the crowd of the stage. It was almost like
using videos.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yes, but I gotta tell you, I think this performance
was better. Lady Gaga and Brunomars paying homage to La
and the fire fighters that had been working tirelessly these
last few weeks to finally get the Palisades and ink
fire contained. They did a stripped down version of the
(03:38):
nineteen sixty five hit California Dream in from the Mamas
and the Papas. Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Californ chenaphone ya dream.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah. Pretty phenomenal. Right at the end there, if you
couldn't hear it, Gaga said, I love you California. The
entire entire audience up in a standing ovation. People were
exceptionally moved. There were people even sobbing. Grammy's host Trevor
Noah giving them huge accolades, and then of course pushing
(04:30):
people to continue to donate Music Cares is actually an
effort that was created by the Recording Academy to help
those affected by the wildfires. I thought that was one
of the crowning moments of the night.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
It really was an incredible for four minutes, Berta Mars,
dude was just an entertainer.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Finally'sa breaking scoop on Diddy. Apparently we're just learning he
was admitted to a New York hospital last week after
experiencing pain with his knee. There's not a whole ton
of details out about this yet. Sources say that the
disgraced music. Mogul was taken to a Brooklyn hospital from
the Metropolitan Detention Center on Thursday, The New York Post
(05:05):
reporting that he had to have an MRI because his
knee was bothering him. He reportedly has a history of
knee issues. However, when asked, his attorney said, I cannot
comment on anything related to prisoner movements. Also, I'm not
commenting on anything related to possible medical issues. So that's
all we know this morning, all of your celebscoop but
West Michigan start off time.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Sometimes does I get a good feeling here?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Well, let's jump into it. Feeling good on your Monday

spinning with you. And of course Valentine's Day less than
two weeks away, consider that a warning thief gentlemen, and
to Moskegan Animals Shelter would like you to once again
newter your ex for Valentine's Day. Now, this is not
some like Lorana Bobbitt situation here. Instead, it's Heaven Can
(05:53):
Wait Animal Haven in Muskegon, who had a very successful
fundraiser with this last year, so they're doing it again.
This is that's just such a cool thing. You get
to donate twenty five dollars and in return, they will
take a feral cats off the streets there in Muskegan
neutered them with their Trap Neuter Return Program TNR, and
then they'll snip the cats, return them to their respective colonies,
(06:16):
and of course they will be named after your ex.
You're released back into their colonies, but no longer to
pro create out there. But they said that the cats
will take names in the order which they received. So
if you want one of those first cats to bear
the name of your scorned lover, Schmedde, you just go
ahead and email or go ahead and PayPal them. You
(06:36):
can find all the information on it. Heaven canwaitmi dot org.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
All right. An American Airlines pilot going viral after reassuring
passengers on his flight following that deadly midair crash last week.
This was on American Airlines Flight one zero four four
service from Jacksonville to Miami that went down a few
days ago. And you can hear someone decided to actually
video this announcement and how serious this pilot is to
(07:02):
make sure everyone is as calm as possible.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Maybe I'm fearful about flying, and that's certainly understandable, but
just please know that my first officer and our fund
attendants and myself please your safety. The responsibility of carrying
you to Miami, to your families, your vacations, your beats
you at the highest level. I had no higher calling
than carefully professionally transupporting you today. So with that, relax

and enjoy the beautifying that we get to fly in
and we'll be at.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
A way show you welcome for the incredible. I have
no higher calling than getting you to your destination safely.
It's gotten thousands of shares with comments from people saying
this is exactly what I would need to hear on
a flight. This makes me feel so good, And what
a moment for him to take and just make sure
that he's connected with everyone on board. It was pretty incredible,
(07:52):
and you can see when passengers are actually deboarding the plane,
they make sure to shake his hand and say thank.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You so much for that yeah, curved last week. It's
a really touching thing to be doing. Yeah all right,

Overhead Door Company of Grand Rapids on Star one oh

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It's the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, last night, the Grammy Awards took over Tinseltown, with
Beyonce being a big winner this year because after almost
one hundred Grammy nominations, she finally took homb the trophy
winning Album of the Year, presented to her by some
very special guests. The final award of the evening brought
(08:46):
out La firefighters, including La County Fire Chief Anthony Moron
and Fire Captain Shila Burco, along with an assembled crew
of firefighters behind them. The very first thing Beyonce brought
up in this big win.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
I'd like to thank and acknowledge and praise all of
the firefighters for keeping us safe. I just feel very
full and very honored. It's been many, many years.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, and a big standing ovation for that one. Not
only did the Yance take home Album of the Year
for Cowboy Carter, but also grabbed that Best Country Album
award as well Best Pop Vocal Album went to Sabrina Carpenter,
Best New Artist, Chapel Roone, and then Record of the
Year and Song of the Year goes to Kendrick Lamar
(09:36):
not like us. Of course, we will see him in
less than a week performing that super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
It should be really interesting. I have a Taylor Swift
conspiracy theory. Would you like to hear it?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You know how I was announced late last week that
she was going to be presenting, and she wound up
being the presenter for the Country Album of the Year,
which of course went to Beyonce. I feel like they
told Taylor that she was going to be doing that
while and you would get to give that Grammy to Beyonce.
Will you come to the show?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Maybe I think that she would want to be there
for it, that she would love to welcome to welcome
Beyonce into that fraternity of people who have won me.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
She was doing a whole bunch last night. She was
People were like, Oh, she's got beef with Sabrina, she's
got beef with Chapel, she's got beef with Billy, and
she's like like doing all the really cool hangout stuff.
All right, let's get to Kanye though, because this was
very much talked about last night, Bianca Censory his wife
showing up in nothing and when I say nothing, I
(10:33):
mean nearly nothing. You guys. This was a shocking moment.
He actually surprised the Grammy red carpet. People didn't think
he'd be coming. He hasn't been to the Grammys since
twenty fifteen. Bianca was in a blackbur coat before taking
it off and literally wearing just a sea through. It
(10:54):
was all of it. We had to blur the pictures
at West Michigan Star dot com. So there were rumors
implying that her and Kanye were actually booted from the
Grammys because of this indecent exposure. But I am learning
this morning that is not the case. The pair left
of their own volition, so they walked the red carpet
and then got in Kanye's car and left. Apparently police
(11:16):
and Grammy security never got involved. There were even reports
that reached out to the police to see if they
got a call about the incident, law enforcement saying no
one ever complained about Censories, revealing ensemble. They simply wanted
to show up, make quite a splash.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
And go I'll be honest, with you, schmiddy, I'm not apprude, Okay,
like little skin doesn't bother me.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You would have been arrested for this public sidewalks.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I wish he could have been arrested because it's not
just you know, the indecent exposure, because I mean, if
you walked around like this, you would get arrested. It's
that you're humiliating your wife on a national scale, and
it grosses me out.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
This is the conversation we've been having for years. Is
he I mean, is she? Is she doing this against
her will? Is she enjoying this? I can't imagine because
I would never do this. But it was a really,
really shocking moment last night. But again, those rumors that
he was actually kicked out by police untrue. Finally, not
(12:16):
the only big music event to go down last night,
Jelly Roll wanted to thank LA first responders in his
own way, bringing some big superstar pals along with him.
Jelly Roll and Friends is a show he hosted specifically
for first responders that went down Saturday night. Lady Wilson, Marshmallow,
even Flavor Flave were on hand, and this was a
(12:39):
really cool ending where he just made sure to thank
each and every person that were on the front lines
for those wildfires.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
It was a really cool thing. And by the way,
while he was giving some awareness to a few of
the organizations working to raise money for those affected by
the wildfires, this was not a specific fundraiser. He didn't
charge anyone for entrance. This was only a thank you
to first responders that they all did out of kind
of the goodness of their hearts.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I feel like a Jelly Roll show is half amazing concert,
half religious experience.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Well it's interesting, So you'll want to join us in
our eighties hour at noon today because Flavor flav did
turn it into a religious ceremony and I will have
some really great moments from that as well. All of
your celeb Scoop at West Michigan's start off.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Got this feeling. Could be love, could be indigestion. But
it's February, Valentine's Days on deck. Let's say it's love,
SCHMIDDI to your Monday Maggot'spitty, You're on star.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah. I don't know what this actually had to do
with Valentine's Day or not. I think this guy has
just been going around desperate to find a date. So
this went down at my Thursday night Rise game. And
this kid, I can't imagine, was I don't know, maybe
twenty one. At the age I am, it's like impossible
to figure out what the age anyone is from like
(14:22):
thirteen to thirty, so I think he was around that age.
And he had one of the court side seats, and
he had this giant, giant neon poster board that just
read single with three exclamation points, please help me get
a date, And then it had his phone number and
(14:44):
his Snapchat handle, and so I'm curious how you met
your partner or your spouse because it was the talk
of this game. Everyone was talking about it. He was
taking pictures with fans, he was taking pictures with Ember,
our mascot, and we're talking on our comms because I'm
the in arena announcers, so like off you know, off air,
(15:05):
we're all like, what is happening. He started going up
into seats, and I'll be honest, I was watching him.
A few of the of the women seemed interested, okay,
but you know, it was really kind of a hail Mary,
shoot your shot moment. And I brought this up to
a couple of our coworkers, and then I had one
of the guys we work with go well, actually that's
(15:27):
how I met my now wife, So apparently desperation can work.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I was gonna say, there is you know that might
seem desperate to shum, but maybe you think of it
like more, it's a numbers game, right, You're not gonna
get a lot of yess, but the ones that come
your way will be quality.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I think it was really fascinating that he put his
Snapchat handle like that's how we're doing it now, Like
he had his phone number there, but it was more
like hit me up on Snapchat if you're like, legit
serious about this.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I wish that his sights would have been set on
some of the players, like his sign could have said
I really tall women.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
That would have been more of a hail Mary. Because
we played San Diego last night and Ronica Stone plays
for San Diego and that is Jordan Love's fiance. We
quarterback for Green Bay. I'm googling, Oh, I gotta tell
you that that would have been a little bit too
much of a shot to shoot there. So I put
this up on our Facebook and there are some really
sweet meat cute stories Charlie met her husband on a
(16:29):
seabee radio. She said, we knew we were meant to be.
Two weeks later we set our wedding day. Six months
later we got married, and we have been married for
over forty six years and are still very much in love.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I hope a truck and like a loud horn was
involved in that wedding day.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Wow, this is completely separate, probably like I want to
be on a sebe radio so bad. I've already come
up with multiple seabee names. So I just think that's
very romantic. Britney's was cute. We went to preschool together,
we lost touch, and then nine years ago today we
became an official couple for the first time and it
was the best day ever. I think Diane wins and
(17:10):
I was like, girl, we are We are making sure
all the people in our life write this as a note.
During our first date, I'd mentioned I liked bagels. Valentine's
Day was two days later. I came home from work
and there was a basket filled with homemade heart shaped bagels,
wrapped in a white napkin, tied with a red ribbon.
We are going on thirty.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Years, obviously a risky move for a second day. You've
been on one date and you're going that hard on
Valentine's Day with the bread.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Oh, I'm sorry, anything with carbs. You can put a
ring on my finger right now. So what is the
cute way you met your spouse or your significant other?
Are you like our coworker? Did you write a sign
that said single and desperate and someone was like, you
are exactly who I've been looking for six one, six, four, five, eight,
one oh five seven.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Here are the pats with human torch was denied a
bank lover? Badnine? Get Youadine?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
All right, let's get you into the news that you
know you don't really learn anything from, but at the
same time, you clicked on it anyway, ad bye.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Well, if you missed Groundhog's Day yesterday, Punk satani Phil
saw his shadow, which meant six more weeks of winter,
and as parents everywhere said, really the first year punksatani
Phil is officially a dad, and he gives us six
more weeks of winter. Just wait, pal, just wait, bad fine.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
New York City police say sixteens took a subway train
for a joy ride. Sixteens hijacking in our train in
New York City. Surprisingly, though the first time the train
had made it to the station on time in munchmitting
bad bite.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
According to a new study, seventy percent of gen Z
use subtitles when watching shows or movies because they grew
up with social media. They're so used to auto generated
captions they don't really listen up bedbite.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Shebdi manager says door dasher went into the bathroom with food.
A Jersey Mike's manager claimed that she saw a door
dasher bring a customer's food into the bathroom with them
before leaving to then deliver the food. I'm sorry, but
new delivery fear unlocked big time badbite.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Michigan's shortest fishing season wrapped up in seventeen minutes. The
Lake sturgeon fishing season on Black Lake in Chboygan officially
began Saturday morning at eight and then ended at eight
seventeen when a quota of six sturgeon was reached. And
I would just like to tell him, because I'm sure
he's listening, if you want to take me on those
kinds of fishing trips, Chris, I would always God.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Finally, schmiddy woman convicted over fart selfies against boyfriend's ex
a Welsh woman was convicted of taking quote unquote fart
selfies and then sending them to her her boyfriend's ex
Prosecutors claimed she would pass gas, holding the phone camera
on her bottom and then sending that video to her
(20:09):
boyfriend's ex girlfriends.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
I worked with a dude that did the exact.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Same thing do yep, but didn't go to jail for it.
That's this week's headlines. He's hitting great ones out there.
I don't know if you could top fart selfie or not,
but go ahead and try. At West Michigan Star.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Modies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Well, the red carpet was packed with a listers last
night for the Grammy Awards going down in LA and
a lot of Taylor fans noticed she did indeed show
up in her Super Bowl era, dressed in a very
perfect Kansas City Chief's red dress, and a lot of
people pointed out the thigh chain. Did you see the
(20:54):
thigh chain with the tea hanging off of it? But
it was her big announcement inside. She was actually the
one to give Beyonce her big award of the night,
not only taking home Album of the Year, which was
huge for the Cowboy Carter album, but also Best Country
(21:16):
Album Brandy Ghost too. Cowboy Carter, you, oh my god.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
I'd like to thank all of the incredible country artists
that accepted this album. We worked so hard on it.
I think sometimes genre is a cold word to keep
us in our place as artists, and I just want
to encourage people to do what they're passionate about.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Other big winners Kendrick Lamar are taking home Record of
the Year and Song of the Year, Best New Artist
Chapel Rome, which was kind of surprising to some Best
Pop Vocal Album Short and Sweet from Sabrina Carpenter and
we do love this one. Best Pop Duo or Group
performance did go to Gaga and Bruno Mars, who had
an incredible stripped down version of California Dreaming last night.
(22:08):
Really good stuff. I've got a bunch of videos at
West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Lady Gaga, by the way, dropping some new music today.
But she looked like a member of the Mamas in
the papas last night in her outfits. She was definitely
I said some interesting.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Some people said it kind of looks like I'm going
to be called into a cult, So you decide for
yourself what the look was. But speaking of Beyonce, as
soon as that big night for her, she hopped on
social to announce a tour. That's right, the Cowboy Carter
Tour is coming in twenty twenty five. Unfortunately, though know
all their details were given, so I'll keep an eye
(22:43):
on that. But twenty twenty five is gonna be the
year of Bay all right, Finally we need to get
to the it ends with us drama. Oh my gosh,
I feel like every couple days I have more to
report on this. So, in the ongoing legal battle between
actress Blake Lively and director and actor Justin Baldoni, he
has now published a website linking everything that he has
(23:08):
officially filed in court. That includes a new amended complaint
that he filed in court Friday afternoon that details his
side of the stars behind the scenes conflict. So he
actually has a link that websites just called lawsuit info.
So he has posted a link to what he says
were the notes from an intimacy coordinator. This is very
(23:31):
common on movie sets to make sure that those intimate
scenes are really worked out, discussed, figured out how to
do in a tasteful manner, and given the subject matter
surrounding it ends with us. This was really important. Well,
Justin claims that Blake passed on that super important meeting.
According to his amended lawsuit, he said, these conversations would
(23:52):
have taken place directly between Lively and the intimacy coordinator
as well as myself. However, she declined to meet, so
I was in a less than ideal position of having
to relay the notes to Lively in her penthouse not
really get a chance to talk about it. You'll remember,
Blake is suing Justin for harassment. He's now claiming that
the conversations he had with her on set were merely
(24:12):
him sharing the intimacy coordinator's notes. He has all of
it linked up on this website.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, the website thing is extremely ridiculous to me. I
don't know if I've ever seen two more I don't know,
seemingly organized people going head to head in a legal
battle like this, where they're just putting all the evidence
out there, you know what I mean, it's secret.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Seats, it's all out there, and then you've got other
people that are taking sides on this. I've got the
latest for you if you're trying to keep up with
your scoop at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
She's going to fine point seven. It's Mack and Schmiden
and his time to battle Battle of the Sexies right
now and your second opportunity of the day to score
your cruise tickets to go see Disney on Ice.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
It officially opens in just three days. At Vanandahl, one
hundred women serve Name something that most people don't consume
enough of? Ooh.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Every day I was gonna say, how anything healthy? I
was gonna say, how's your taco? Quote? I don't feel
like I'm living up to my own expectations when it
comes to the number of tacos.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I'm on a consume all right, six one, six, four
five eight, one oh five seven. One hundred women surveyed
name something most people don't consume enough of. You've got
that number one answer. You are on your way to
Disney on Ice with Battle of the Sexes on Star
one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Good morning, Star. Who's this? What are you calling for today?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I'm kind from Grand Appy.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Gotta tell me when one hundred women were asked to
name something people probably don't consume enough of. What was
their top answer?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Hi, I'm gonna say vegetables because I'm one of them.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You're not eaten enough of the greens. Well, vegetables is
the number two answer.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
I'm so huge. That's okay.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Thanks anyway, Yep.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Have a great day. Hi star, who's this Christy? Christy?
I just got a great guest from the Anne who
went one hundred women were asked to name something people
probably don't consume enough of. She told me vegetables, which
was the number two most common answer on the list.
But what do you think that top answer is there?
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I am going to have to say water.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
You are going to have to say water. I believe
they call it the Church of Hydration at this point
because people are constantly telling you to drink more water,
and that's why it's the top answer. Congrats you go
to Disney on a day? Yes, Christy, you got some
kiddo's that are going to be so excited when they
(26:41):
find out they're going.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Well, I have two teenaged daughters in college that would
love to reminisce their old days.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
You're never too old to be a Disney princess.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
You are so welcome. We're doing it all week long.
Double the Disney tickets to win at seven thirty and
again at eight fifteen every weekday. Here on Star some
morning to you. It's Mack and Schmidty and here we
are a new week. And of course I don't know
what it's like in your house, but getting my kids
to come out of weekend mode and accept that they've
(27:12):
got to go to school the next day is always
a chore. It's always a battle. It's just like brushing
your teeth. It seems to come as a surprise every
single day. I can't believe you're making me brush my
teeth again. Okay, So I wanted to know what your
kids most creative and favorite ways to stall are before
they have to go do anything. Ours going to bed
(27:33):
last night, so of course they do. We make announcements.
If they're in different rooms, we just do the Alexa
thing where we announce it's bedtime. Alexa actually has a
funny sound effect if you ask her to do that,
by the way, and our kids ignore it. They wait
until at least somebody yells or raises their voice before
they realize. Before They're like, oh, it was common. I
(27:54):
just turned it off. I was just turning it off.
They love to pull the one more minute all that
kind of stuff. But last night they come up and
it's like eight fifteen, so they're about to start getting
ready for bed, and the Grammys are on, and my
daughter says, right off the bed, is this is this?
The Grammys said? Yeah, She goes, I thought they only
happened once a year. I go, they do. This is
(28:16):
the day. This is the Grammy. She goes, I love
the Grammys. I gotta stay up. The Grammys sub.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
My first time ever.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
What are we talking about here? You don't even like
you don't even know what the Grammys are all about.
She's like, yes, I du it's an award show. Chaplone's there, dad.
She starts talking about the artist and one of the
very should pull.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
The Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
One of the very first awards given out last night
was for Best Hip Hop Album, and it wound up
going to new artist doci Ye, but Eminem was also
one of the runners. And so it's right before eight
thirty and both of my kids are screaming, we have
to see if slim Shady's get a wind. Yeah, you
gotta know whether I'm like you guys are so ridiculous
(28:57):
with just doing anything and everything to stay out of
bed for one minute long time.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I'm so glad my kids don't know any of these
things yet, Like it's it's so nice. I'm like, all right, guys,
time to get on your comfies. And then we read
and they're still like pretty decent about it. My daughter
just wants to figure out what's happening in the world.
It's never it's just regular fomo. She'll need the water
or she'll need a book. I just have discovered that
she's been hiding things to find that's her new thing.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Oh's a we on a blanket in.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Her entertainment center, and she got about fifteen extra minutes
of awake time.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Could I possibly go to sleep without my blanket? Mom?
We need to have a search party go out. This
is a big deal.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
Some down does get a good.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Like gloomy looking Monday out there. So let's brighten things up,
shall we? Feeling good on? Starting on five point seven?
What's happenings many?
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Well, let's talk about getting hype over the harp. If
you might have kids that are in band at school.
I doubt a harp is usually a very common one.
But at the storied Pass Tech in Detroit, the Heart
program is changing lives Lydia Kleeber is the harp instructor
and she teaches kids how to play the incredible instruments.
(30:11):
And even more importantly, there's been a new partnership created
to get those instruments into the hands of Detroit's kids.
It's an awesome new collaboration among Detroit Harmony, the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra, and MSU's Community Music School, which happens to
be located in downtown Detroit. Harps are all paid for
and kids learn so much. Damien Frutcher attended cast Tech
(30:34):
and is now the managing director for Detroit Harmony, telling
the free press and education in the arts can really
change a person's life, and he knows from personal experience.
He says he started playing the french horn at cast
Tech by accident. See the trumpet wasn't working for him
and he saw a french horn on TV one night.
So we went into school the next day and said,
I'm gonna play that instrument where they put the hand
(30:57):
on the bottom, and his teacher left and said it's
the French horn. He dug me one out and it
changed my life. He is directed ensembles in places like
Carnegie Hall and the White House and knows that the
next generation of Detroit's musicians will find their passion because
of this program. He adds, I wish that so many
more students had access to harps. In fact, everyone should
(31:19):
have access to an arts education period, whether they want
to do it as a vocation or not, they should
have access because there are benefits that go so beyond
the aesthetic. And we're proving in Detroit how this can
really work just by working together. So it's very cool stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
As a former friend horn player yourself, did you feel
a kinship here?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Oh? I loved it?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, Oh my gosh. All right, Smitty of course, with
a big game on deck for this Sunday, we're still
looking back at the Lions season, and we brought you
a story I believe you covered in Schmidty of a
Detroit Lions fan named Bryson Machonga who actually is a
Wisconsin native but a huge Lions fan, and we wanted
to bring his oldest daughter, Kinsley, eight years old. I'm
(32:00):
a huge fan of aman Rossaint Brown, and he wanted
to get her to her very first ever game. You
might remember he actually surprised his daughter in a story
that was detailed for the Free Press with tickets to
that playoff game against the Washington Commanders. In order to
get that ticket, though, he had to sell his autograph
Matthew Stafford jersey as well as a memorabilia from famous
(32:22):
Wisconsin Badgers like Russell Wilson and Ron Dain Budd. It
all paid off because he was able to surprise his
daughter with tickets out feel what do you think? Yeah,
(32:48):
got to go to Ford Field unfortunately though, witnessing that
loss against the Washington Commanders. But that's not where the
story ended. Apparently, because the video went viral and Matthew
Stafford saw it, he actually contacted the Rams equipment manager said,
I don't have social media, but can we find this
guy and send him a jersey of mine. He sent
him a personal package to Machanga's house with a game
(33:12):
worn jersey from the twenty fourteen season while Stafford was
on the Lions signed of course, as well as some
other memorabilia. At that time, that was their most wins
in the season since nineteen ninety one and excuse me.
Michanga just said he was over the moon and said this.
It just reconfirmed who Matthew Stafford is. He had no
(33:34):
reason to go about doing this, He had no gain.
He's not our quarterback anymore. He went out of his
way in a playoff week. I thought that was a
really cool way and an awesome thing for Matthew Stafford
to do.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
I'm miss happy Matthew Stafford still has Lions gear. That
really says a lot.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
I mean, he hung out with us for quite a
long time, but still still's got love for those Detroit fans.
Feeling good comes at you a couple times a day.
We'll do it tomorrow six forty five and nine twenty
here on Star Mack and Schmidy in the morning weekday
starting at six a m. On Star one O five
point seven
Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh
of it.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well, good mornings, really good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Welcome into your Monday. Hopefully you had a fantastic weekend.
Started out pretty warm out there, making it foggy of
course across some areas here in West Michigan too. But yeah,
following up kind of an up and down weekend where
we had a day that was like in the twenties
with feels like in the fifteens and tens, and then
a nice forty degree day to go with it.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Well, be honest, I didn't that spend a lot of
time outside this weekend. I had a bunch of people
over on Saturday. I worked yesterday for the Rise. So yeah,
I'm just I don't know, ready to tackle the week,
I guess.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Speaking of those ries, little Ben's streak we got going on.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Here swept in three last night. It was pretty incredible.
By the way, if you have not major made a
van andliyet, you can score your tickets at West Michigan
Star dot com because I promise it is so much fun.
And there were tons of kids out there was mascot
night last night. So we had everybody. The White Caps
were out there. We had Womy, we had the Chick
fil a Cow, we had everybody.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
This pac nine of VENTI Movies, music, and all the
gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Well, last night was the big night in music as
this year's Grammy Awards went down in La and I
mentioned a major of beef actually ending at the awards show,
not between artists, but between the Weekend and the Grammy. So,
if you recall, the Weekend has been calling out the
Grammys for years for lack of transparency and in fact
(01:42):
that he would be refusing to ever perform or present.
That changed last night. Harvey Mason Junior is the Recording
Academy CEO that had this to say before introducing the Weekend.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
So over the past few years, we've listened, we've acted,
and we've changed. Music is a powerful force for good.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
It heals us, it.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Unites us, and we need that in the city right now.
With that in mind, on a truly special night, what
better way to bring us together than this next artist.
Someone was seeing the work the Academy has put in.
I'm so honored to leave you with a sentence that
I wasn't sure would ever be set on the Grammy
stage again. My friends, my fellow music makers, please join
(02:26):
me in welcoming back none other than four time Grammy
winning artists and global superstar The Weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, and it was an incredible performance. Big winners last night.
We got to talk Beyonce Album of the Year finally,
as well as Best Country Album. We saw Best Pop
Vocal Album go to Sabrina Carpenter, Best New Artist Chapel
Roon and not surprising Record of the Year and Song
(02:56):
of the Year. Your super Bowl halftime performer, Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I thought I watched the first hour and a half
of the Grammys or so, and I thought it was great.
Like I mean, now got a good thing. The Weekend's
performance that you talked about. It was unreal, Like all
of a sudden, these arms are all coming up out
of the crowd of the stage. It was almost like
using videos.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yes, but I gotta tell you, I think this performance
was better. Lady Gaga and Brunomars paying homage to La
and the fire fighters that had been working tirelessly these
last few weeks to finally get the Palisades and ink
fire contained. They did a stripped down version of the
(03:38):
nineteen sixty five hit California Dream in from the Mamas
and the Papas. Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Californ chenaphone ya dream.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah. Pretty phenomenal. Right at the end there, if you
couldn't hear it, Gaga said, I love you California. The
entire entire audience up in a standing ovation. People were
exceptionally moved. There were people even sobbing. Grammy's host Trevor
Noah giving them huge accolades, and then of course pushing
(04:30):
people to continue to donate Music Cares is actually an
effort that was created by the Recording Academy to help
those affected by the wildfires. I thought that was one
of the crowning moments of the night.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
It really was an incredible for four minutes, Berta Mars,
dude was just an entertainer.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Finally'sa breaking scoop on Diddy. Apparently we're just learning he
was admitted to a New York hospital last week after
experiencing pain with his knee. There's not a whole ton
of details out about this yet. Sources say that the
disgraced music. Mogul was taken to a Brooklyn hospital from
the Metropolitan Detention Center on Thursday, The New York Post
(05:05):
reporting that he had to have an MRI because his
knee was bothering him. He reportedly has a history of
knee issues. However, when asked, his attorney said, I cannot
comment on anything related to prisoner movements. Also, I'm not
commenting on anything related to possible medical issues. So that's
all we know this morning, all of your celebscoop but
West Michigan start off time.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Sometimes does I get a good feeling here?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Well, let's jump into it. Feeling good on your Monday
morning here on starting on five points Yeavin Mack and
spinning with you. And of course Valentine's Day less than
two weeks away, consider that a warning thief gentlemen, and
to Moskegan Animals Shelter would like you to once again
newter your ex for Valentine's Day. Now, this is not
some like Lorana Bobbitt situation here. Instead, it's Heaven Can
(05:53):
Wait Animal Haven in Muskegon, who had a very successful
fundraiser with this last year, so they're doing it again.
This is that's just such a cool thing. You get
to donate twenty five dollars and in return, they will
take a feral cats off the streets there in Muskegan
neutered them with their Trap Neuter Return Program TNR, and
then they'll snip the cats, return them to their respective colonies,
(06:16):
and of course they will be named after your ex.
You're released back into their colonies, but no longer to
pro create out there. But they said that the cats
will take names in the order which they received. So
if you want one of those first cats to bear
the name of your scorned lover, Schmedde, you just go
ahead and email or go ahead and PayPal them. You
(06:36):
can find all the information on it. Heaven canwaitmi dot org.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
All right. An American Airlines pilot going viral after reassuring
passengers on his flight following that deadly midair crash last week.
This was on American Airlines Flight one zero four four
service from Jacksonville to Miami that went down a few
days ago. And you can hear someone decided to actually
video this announcement and how serious this pilot is to
(07:02):
make sure everyone is as calm as possible.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Maybe I'm fearful about flying, and that's certainly understandable, but
just please know that my first officer and our fund
attendants and myself please your safety. The responsibility of carrying
you to Miami, to your families, your vacations, your beats
you at the highest level. I had no higher calling
than carefully professionally transupporting you today. So with that, relax
(07:27):
and enjoy the beautifying that we get to fly in
and we'll be at.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
A way show you welcome for the incredible. I have
no higher calling than getting you to your destination safely.
It's gotten thousands of shares with comments from people saying
this is exactly what I would need to hear on
a flight. This makes me feel so good, And what
a moment for him to take and just make sure
that he's connected with everyone on board. It was pretty incredible,
(07:52):
and you can see when passengers are actually deboarding the plane,
they make sure to shake his hand and say thank.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You so much for that yeah, curved last week. It's
a really touching thing to be doing. Yeah all right,
feeling good coming at you a couple times a day,
always want to lift you up with some positivity. Let's
do it again this morning at nine twenty mac and Schmidt.
He's feeling good. Open your day with positivity powered by
Overhead Door Company of Grand Rapids on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It's the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, last night, the Grammy Awards took over Tinseltown, with
Beyonce being a big winner this year because after almost
one hundred Grammy nominations, she finally took homb the trophy
winning Album of the Year, presented to her by some
very special guests. The final award of the evening brought
(08:46):
out La firefighters, including La County Fire Chief Anthony Moron
and Fire Captain Shila Burco, along with an assembled crew
of firefighters behind them. The very first thing Beyonce brought
up in this big win.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
I'd like to thank and acknowledge and praise all of
the firefighters for keeping us safe. I just feel very
full and very honored. It's been many, many years.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, and a big standing ovation for that one. Not
only did the Yance take home Album of the Year
for Cowboy Carter, but also grabbed that Best Country Album
award as well Best Pop Vocal Album went to Sabrina Carpenter,
Best New Artist, Chapel Roone, and then Record of the
Year and Song of the Year goes to Kendrick Lamar
(09:36):
not like us. Of course, we will see him in
less than a week performing that super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
It should be really interesting. I have a Taylor Swift
conspiracy theory. Would you like to hear it?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You know how I was announced late last week that
she was going to be presenting, and she wound up
being the presenter for the Country Album of the Year,
which of course went to Beyonce. I feel like they
told Taylor that she was going to be doing that
while and you would get to give that Grammy to Beyonce.
Will you come to the show?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Maybe I think that she would want to be there
for it, that she would love to welcome to welcome
Beyonce into that fraternity of people who have won me.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
She was doing a whole bunch last night. She was
People were like, Oh, she's got beef with Sabrina, she's
got beef with Chapel, she's got beef with Billy, and
she's like like doing all the really cool hangout stuff.
All right, let's get to Kanye though, because this was
very much talked about last night, Bianca Censory his wife
showing up in nothing and when I say nothing, I
(10:33):
mean nearly nothing. You guys. This was a shocking moment.
He actually surprised the Grammy red carpet. People didn't think
he'd be coming. He hasn't been to the Grammys since
twenty fifteen. Bianca was in a blackbur coat before taking
it off and literally wearing just a sea through. It
(10:54):
was all of it. We had to blur the pictures
at West Michigan Star dot com. So there were rumors
implying that her and Kanye were actually booted from the
Grammys because of this indecent exposure. But I am learning
this morning that is not the case. The pair left
of their own volition, so they walked the red carpet
and then got in Kanye's car and left. Apparently police
(11:16):
and Grammy security never got involved. There were even reports
that reached out to the police to see if they
got a call about the incident, law enforcement saying no
one ever complained about Censories, revealing ensemble. They simply wanted
to show up, make quite a splash.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
And go I'll be honest, with you, schmiddy, I'm not apprude, Okay,
like little skin doesn't bother me.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You would have been arrested for this public sidewalks.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I wish he could have been arrested because it's not
just you know, the indecent exposure, because I mean, if
you walked around like this, you would get arrested. It's
that you're humiliating your wife on a national scale, and
it grosses me out.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
This is the conversation we've been having for years. Is
he I mean, is she? Is she doing this against
her will? Is she enjoying this? I can't imagine because
I would never do this. But it was a really,
really shocking moment last night. But again, those rumors that
he was actually kicked out by police untrue. Finally, not
(12:16):
the only big music event to go down last night,
Jelly Roll wanted to thank LA first responders in his
own way, bringing some big superstar pals along with him.
Jelly Roll and Friends is a show he hosted specifically
for first responders that went down Saturday night. Lady Wilson, Marshmallow,
even Flavor Flave were on hand, and this was a
(12:39):
really cool ending where he just made sure to thank
each and every person that were on the front lines
for those wildfires.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
It was a really cool thing. And by the way,
while he was giving some awareness to a few of
the organizations working to raise money for those affected by
the wildfires, this was not a specific fundraiser. He didn't
charge anyone for entrance. This was only a thank you
to first responders that they all did out of kind
of the goodness of their hearts.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I feel like a Jelly Roll show is half amazing concert,
half religious experience.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Well it's interesting, So you'll want to join us in
our eighties hour at noon today because Flavor flav did
turn it into a religious ceremony and I will have
some really great moments from that as well. All of
your celeb Scoop at West Michigan's start off.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Got this feeling. Could be love, could be indigestion. But
it's February, Valentine's Days on deck. Let's say it's love,
SCHMIDDI to your Monday Maggot'spitty, You're on star.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah. I don't know what this actually had to do
with Valentine's Day or not. I think this guy has
just been going around desperate to find a date. So
this went down at my Thursday night Rise game. And
this kid, I can't imagine, was I don't know, maybe
twenty one. At the age I am, it's like impossible
to figure out what the age anyone is from like
(14:22):
thirteen to thirty, so I think he was around that age.
And he had one of the court side seats, and
he had this giant, giant neon poster board that just
read single with three exclamation points, please help me get
a date, And then it had his phone number and
(14:44):
his Snapchat handle, and so I'm curious how you met
your partner or your spouse because it was the talk
of this game. Everyone was talking about it. He was
taking pictures with fans, he was taking pictures with Ember,
our mascot, and we're talking on our comms because I'm
the in arena announcers, so like off you know, off air,
(15:05):
we're all like, what is happening. He started going up
into seats, and I'll be honest, I was watching him.
A few of the of the women seemed interested, okay,
but you know, it was really kind of a hail Mary,
shoot your shot moment. And I brought this up to
a couple of our coworkers, and then I had one
of the guys we work with go well, actually that's
(15:27):
how I met my now wife, So apparently desperation can work.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I was gonna say, there is you know that might
seem desperate to shum, but maybe you think of it
like more, it's a numbers game, right, You're not gonna
get a lot of yess, but the ones that come
your way will be quality.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I think it was really fascinating that he put his
Snapchat handle like that's how we're doing it now, Like
he had his phone number there, but it was more
like hit me up on Snapchat if you're like, legit
serious about this.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I wish that his sights would have been set on
some of the players, like his sign could have said
I really tall women.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
That would have been more of a hail Mary. Because
we played San Diego last night and Ronica Stone plays
for San Diego and that is Jordan Love's fiance. We
quarterback for Green Bay. I'm googling, Oh, I gotta tell
you that that would have been a little bit too
much of a shot to shoot there. So I put
this up on our Facebook and there are some really
sweet meat cute stories Charlie met her husband on a
(16:29):
seabee radio. She said, we knew we were meant to be.
Two weeks later we set our wedding day. Six months
later we got married, and we have been married for
over forty six years and are still very much in love.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I hope a truck and like a loud horn was
involved in that wedding day.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Wow, this is completely separate, probably like I want to
be on a sebe radio so bad. I've already come
up with multiple seabee names. So I just think that's
very romantic. Britney's was cute. We went to preschool together,
we lost touch, and then nine years ago today we
became an official couple for the first time and it
was the best day ever. I think Diane wins and
(17:10):
I was like, girl, we are We are making sure
all the people in our life write this as a note.
During our first date, I'd mentioned I liked bagels. Valentine's
Day was two days later. I came home from work
and there was a basket filled with homemade heart shaped bagels,
wrapped in a white napkin, tied with a red ribbon.
We are going on thirty.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Years, obviously a risky move for a second day. You've
been on one date and you're going that hard on
Valentine's Day with the bread.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Oh, I'm sorry, anything with carbs. You can put a
ring on my finger right now. So what is the
cute way you met your spouse or your significant other?
Are you like our coworker? Did you write a sign
that said single and desperate and someone was like, you
are exactly who I've been looking for six one, six, four, five, eight,
one oh five seven.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Here are the pats with human torch was denied a
bank lover? Badnine? Get Youadine?

same time, you clicked on it anyway, ad bye.

Shebdi manager says door dasher went into the bathroom with food.
A Jersey Mike's manager claimed that she saw a door
dasher bring a customer's food into the bathroom with them
before leaving to then deliver the food. I'm sorry, but
new delivery fear unlocked big time badbite.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Michigan's shortest fishing season wrapped up in seventeen minutes. The
Lake sturgeon fishing season on Black Lake in Chboygan officially
began Saturday morning at eight and then ended at eight
seventeen when a quota of six sturgeon was reached. And
I would just like to tell him, because I'm sure
he's listening, if you want to take me on those

I don't know if you could top fart selfie or not,
but go ahead and try. At West Michigan Star.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Modies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Well, the red carpet was packed with a listers last
night for the Grammy Awards going down in LA and
a lot of Taylor fans noticed she did indeed show
up in her Super Bowl era, dressed in a very
perfect Kansas City Chief's red dress, and a lot of
people pointed out the thigh chain. Did you see the
(20:54):
thigh chain with the tea hanging off of it? But
it was her big announcement inside. She was actually the
one to give Beyonce her big award of the night,
not only taking home Album of the Year, which was
huge for the Cowboy Carter album, but also Best Country
(21:16):
Album Brandy Ghost too. Cowboy Carter, you, oh my god.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
I'd like to thank all of the incredible country artists
that accepted this album. We worked so hard on it.
I think sometimes genre is a cold word to keep
us in our place as artists, and I just want
to encourage people to do what they're passionate about.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Other big winners Kendrick Lamar are taking home Record of
the Year and Song of the Year, Best New Artist
Chapel Rome, which was kind of surprising to some Best
Pop Vocal Album Short and Sweet from Sabrina Carpenter and
we do love this one. Best Pop Duo or Group
performance did go to Gaga and Bruno Mars, who had
an incredible stripped down version of California Dreaming last night.
(22:08):
Really good stuff. I've got a bunch of videos at
West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Lady Gaga, by the way, dropping some new music today.
But she looked like a member of the Mamas in
the papas last night in her outfits. She was definitely
I said some interesting.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Some people said it kind of looks like I'm going
to be called into a cult, So you decide for
yourself what the look was. But speaking of Beyonce, as
soon as that big night for her, she hopped on
social to announce a tour. That's right, the Cowboy Carter
Tour is coming in twenty twenty five. Unfortunately, though know
all their details were given, so I'll keep an eye
(22:43):
on that. But twenty twenty five is gonna be the
year of Bay all right, Finally we need to get
to the it ends with us drama. Oh my gosh,
I feel like every couple days I have more to
report on this. So, in the ongoing legal battle between
actress Blake Lively and director and actor Justin Baldoni, he
has now published a website linking everything that he has
(23:08):
officially filed in court. That includes a new amended complaint
that he filed in court Friday afternoon that details his
side of the stars behind the scenes conflict. So he
actually has a link that websites just called lawsuit info.
So he has posted a link to what he says
were the notes from an intimacy coordinator. This is very
(23:31):
common on movie sets to make sure that those intimate
scenes are really worked out, discussed, figured out how to
do in a tasteful manner, and given the subject matter
surrounding it ends with us. This was really important. Well,
Justin claims that Blake passed on that super important meeting.
According to his amended lawsuit, he said, these conversations would
(23:52):
have taken place directly between Lively and the intimacy coordinator
as well as myself. However, she declined to meet, so
I was in a less than ideal position of having
to relay the notes to Lively in her penthouse not
really get a chance to talk about it. You'll remember,
Blake is suing Justin for harassment. He's now claiming that
the conversations he had with her on set were merely
(24:12):
him sharing the intimacy coordinator's notes. He has all of
it linked up on this website.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, the website thing is extremely ridiculous to me. I
don't know if I've ever seen two more I don't know,
seemingly organized people going head to head in a legal
battle like this, where they're just putting all the evidence
out there, you know what I mean, it's secret.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Seats, it's all out there, and then you've got other
people that are taking sides on this. I've got the
latest for you if you're trying to keep up with
your scoop at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
She's going to fine point seven. It's Mack and Schmiden
and his time to battle Battle of the Sexies right
now and your second opportunity of the day to score
your cruise tickets to go see Disney on Ice.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
It officially opens in just three days. At Vanandahl, one
hundred women serve Name something that most people don't consume
enough of? Ooh.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Every day I was gonna say, how anything healthy? I
was gonna say, how's your taco? Quote? I don't feel
like I'm living up to my own expectations when it
comes to the number of tacos.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I'm on a consume all right, six one, six, four
five eight, one oh five seven. One hundred women surveyed
name something most people don't consume enough of. You've got
that number one answer. You are on your way to
Disney on Ice with Battle of the Sexes on Star
one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Good morning, Star. Who's this? What are you calling for today?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I'm kind from Grand Appy.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Gotta tell me when one hundred women were asked to
name something people probably don't consume enough of. What was
their top answer?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Hi, I'm gonna say vegetables because I'm one of them.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You're not eaten enough of the greens. Well, vegetables is
the number two answer.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
I'm so huge. That's okay.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Thanks anyway, Yep.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Have a great day. Hi star, who's this Christy? Christy?
I just got a great guest from the Anne who
went one hundred women were asked to name something people
probably don't consume enough of. She told me vegetables, which
was the number two most common answer on the list.
But what do you think that top answer is there?
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I am going to have to say water.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
You are going to have to say water. I believe
they call it the Church of Hydration at this point
because people are constantly telling you to drink more water,
and that's why it's the top answer. Congrats you go
to Disney on a day? Yes, Christy, you got some
kiddo's that are going to be so excited when they
(26:41):
find out they're going.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Well, I have two teenaged daughters in college that would
love to reminisce their old days.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
You're never too old to be a Disney princess.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
You are so welcome. We're doing it all week long.
Double the Disney tickets to win at seven thirty and
again at eight fifteen every weekday. Here on Star some
morning to you. It's Mack and Schmidty and here we
are a new week. And of course I don't know
what it's like in your house, but getting my kids
to come out of weekend mode and accept that they've
(27:12):
got to go to school the next day is always
a chore. It's always a battle. It's just like brushing
your teeth. It seems to come as a surprise every
single day. I can't believe you're making me brush my
teeth again. Okay, So I wanted to know what your
kids most creative and favorite ways to stall are before
they have to go do anything. Ours going to bed
(27:33):
last night, so of course they do. We make announcements.
If they're in different rooms, we just do the Alexa
thing where we announce it's bedtime. Alexa actually has a
funny sound effect if you ask her to do that,
by the way, and our kids ignore it. They wait
until at least somebody yells or raises their voice before
they realize. Before They're like, oh, it was common. I
(27:54):
just turned it off. I was just turning it off.
They love to pull the one more minute all that
kind of stuff. But last night they come up and
it's like eight fifteen, so they're about to start getting
ready for bed, and the Grammys are on, and my
daughter says, right off the bed, is this is this?
The Grammys said? Yeah, She goes, I thought they only
happened once a year. I go, they do. This is
(28:16):
the day. This is the Grammy. She goes, I love
the Grammys. I gotta stay up. The Grammys sub.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
My first time ever.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
What are we talking about here? You don't even like
you don't even know what the Grammys are all about.
She's like, yes, I du it's an award show. Chaplone's there, dad.
She starts talking about the artist and one of the
very should pull.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
The Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
One of the very first awards given out last night
was for Best Hip Hop Album, and it wound up
going to new artist doci Ye, but Eminem was also
one of the runners. And so it's right before eight
thirty and both of my kids are screaming, we have
to see if slim Shady's get a wind. Yeah, you
gotta know whether I'm like you guys are so ridiculous
(28:57):
with just doing anything and everything to stay out of
bed for one minute long time.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I'm so glad my kids don't know any of these
things yet, Like it's it's so nice. I'm like, all right, guys,
time to get on your comfies. And then we read
and they're still like pretty decent about it. My daughter
just wants to figure out what's happening in the world.
It's never it's just regular fomo. She'll need the water
or she'll need a book. I just have discovered that
she's been hiding things to find that's her new thing.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Oh's a we on a blanket in.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Her entertainment center, and she got about fifteen extra minutes
of awake time.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Could I possibly go to sleep without my blanket? Mom?
We need to have a search party go out. This
is a big deal.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
Some down does get a good.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Like gloomy looking Monday out there. So let's brighten things up,
shall we? Feeling good on? Starting on five point seven?
What's happenings many?
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Well, let's talk about getting hype over the harp. If
you might have kids that are in band at school.
I doubt a harp is usually a very common one.
But at the storied Pass Tech in Detroit, the Heart
program is changing lives Lydia Kleeber is the harp instructor
and she teaches kids how to play the incredible instruments.
(30:11):
And even more importantly, there's been a new partnership created
to get those instruments into the hands of Detroit's kids.
It's an awesome new collaboration among Detroit Harmony, the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra, and MSU's Community Music School, which happens to
be located in downtown Detroit. Harps are all paid for
and kids learn so much. Damien Frutcher attended cast Tech
(30:34):
and is now the managing director for Detroit Harmony, telling
the free press and education in the arts can really
change a person's life, and he knows from personal experience.
He says he started playing the french horn at cast
Tech by accident. See the trumpet wasn't working for him
and he saw a french horn on TV one night.
So we went into school the next day and said,
I'm gonna play that instrument where they put the hand
(30:57):
on the bottom, and his teacher left and said it's
the French horn. He dug me one out and it
changed my life. He is directed ensembles in places like
Carnegie Hall and the White House and knows that the
next generation of Detroit's musicians will find their passion because
of this program. He adds, I wish that so many
more students had access to harps. In fact, everyone should
(31:19):
have access to an arts education period, whether they want
to do it as a vocation or not, they should
have access because there are benefits that go so beyond
the aesthetic. And we're proving in Detroit how this can
really work just by working together. So it's very cool stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
As a former friend horn player yourself, did you feel
a kinship here?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Oh? I loved it?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, Oh my gosh. All right, Smitty of course, with
a big game on deck for this Sunday, we're still
looking back at the Lions season, and we brought you
a story I believe you covered in Schmidty of a
Detroit Lions fan named Bryson Machonga who actually is a
Wisconsin native but a huge Lions fan, and we wanted
to bring his oldest daughter, Kinsley, eight years old. I'm
(32:00):
a huge fan of aman Rossaint Brown, and he wanted
to get her to her very first ever game. You
might remember he actually surprised his daughter in a story
that was detailed for the Free Press with tickets to
that playoff game against the Washington Commanders. In order to
get that ticket, though, he had to sell his autograph
Matthew Stafford jersey as well as a memorabilia from famous
(32:22):
Wisconsin Badgers like Russell Wilson and Ron Dain Budd. It
all paid off because he was able to surprise his
daughter with tickets out feel what do you think? Yeah,
(32:48):
got to go to Ford Field unfortunately though, witnessing that
loss against the Washington Commanders. But that's not where the
story ended. Apparently, because the video went viral and Matthew
Stafford saw it, he actually contacted the Rams equipment manager said,
I don't have social media, but can we find this
guy and send him a jersey of mine. He sent
him a personal package to Machanga's house with a game
(33:12):
worn jersey from the twenty fourteen season while Stafford was
on the Lions signed of course, as well as some
other memorabilia. At that time, that was their most wins
in the season since nineteen ninety one and excuse me.
Michanga just said he was over the moon and said this.
It just reconfirmed who Matthew Stafford is. He had no
(33:34):
reason to go about doing this, He had no gain.
He's not our quarterback anymore. He went out of his
way in a playoff week. I thought that was a
really cool way and an awesome thing for Matthew Stafford
to do.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
I'm miss happy Matthew Stafford still has Lions gear. That
really says a lot.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
I mean, he hung out with us for quite a
long time, but still still's got love for those Detroit fans.
Feeling good comes at you a couple times a day.
We'll do it tomorrow six forty five and nine twenty
here on Star Mack and Schmidy in the morning weekday
starting at six a m. On Star one O five
point seven
