Mac and Shmitty February 12, 2025

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Wake up. It gets my day going. It makes me laugh.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
All of it.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven. Good morning, Schmitty, Good morning. I gotta say,
you know, we're creeping up on the midway point of
February and Mother Nature she had not done with winter yet, Schmitty.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
No.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I mean, I'm sure we all miss like a winter stormwatch.
We haven't had one in like a week. Here we go.
That's gonna be the big story for today is I'm
sure a lot of you have been preparing for that
winter storm advisory goes into effect at one this afternoon.
We're gonna have kind of a better timeline for you
coming up in our West Michigan wake up, because I
know a lot of people are kind of standing by

(00:43):
how much are we actually going to get depending on
where you're at, and will we have school tomorrow? Because
I've got a update from Blake Harms I can get
to as well. I know. I think I mentioned it yesterday,
like both my kids' schools moved to their Valentine's Day
parties so that they wouldn't miss out.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
On them like that. They did enough of an emphasis
on the fund right That's how I'll put it, is
that the kids recognize how much the kids, or the administration
recognized how much the kids like to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, it's all fun and games until you've come back
from vacation and you are spending last night doing thirty
five Valentinees per kids, because you get the email that's like, hey,
we're not gonna celebrate Thursday, We're gonna celebrate tomorrow. But
it's all good. We're gonna keep you updated, honestly, probably
this afternoon, and your commute tonight could be a little
trickier than it looks this morning.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
We'll say that movies, music, and all the gossip in
one place.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
It's the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Well, ESPN host stephen A. Smith is defending the comments
he made after that surprise appearance by Serena Williams at
the Super Bowl halftime show. If you missed it, this
is what he said on his show.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
If I'm married and.

Speaker 6 (01:55):
My wife is going to join troll and huh, ex
go back to you don't but long with me?

Speaker 3 (02:02):
What'd you worried about in flou You wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, he's saying pretty much listen up there. Trolling when
you're supposed to be happy with your hubby just ain't
vibin for me. He got a lot of backlash about that,
and actually had to go online last night and write
on X, please go back and look at exactly what
I said. I was talking overall from a man's perspective,
highlighting what most men would think. I didn't utter a

(02:26):
single disrespectful word about Serena. No issues with folks getting
upset of literal, serious stuff that no one's ticked about.
This does not qualify peeps. Come on, we were joking
around on first take. Dang, y'all, it's not that serious.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest. If there wasn't the
Compton connection between you know, those two sharing the same hometown,
Kendrick Lamar and Serena Williams, I would think it'd be
a little weird.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Like I just love Petty, I love it, love it,
love it all Right. Music is gonna make or break
the upcoming Britney Spears iopic. This is one that we
have all been waiting for. And that's according to a
famous songwriter. So Claude Kelly is a producer and songwriter
that actually collabed with Brittany on her amazing two thousand

(03:11):
and eight song Circus and sat down for an interview, saying,
as much as the acting will matter, the music is
what's going to make sure you're not distracted from how
incredible Brittany really is.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
A music biopic has to be amazing in terms of
the acting, but the music got to be legit, right.
The reason why we love Ray is because the music
was legit. The reason why we love I love Bohemian
Rhapsody and even the Elton movie because the music was legit.
And what I am, what I do, I do music,
and I do it at the best level. Check the credits.

(03:44):
So I would just want to make sure that the
story they're telling. I'm sure she's gonna make sure the
sort that the story they're telling is truthful and how
she wants it. But I would want to make sure
that the music is as good as we remember, if
not better.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
I mean, kind of a bit of a job interview too,
He definitely says he is open to having a part
of the biopic to make sure that Britney's music shines
through as incredibly as it should. But this was really interesting,
he said. He also has a very good feeling a
new Brittany song will drop whenever this biopic finally gets released.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Well rest is Shara never admiss an opportunity to make
a book.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Finally, Selena Gomez could be drop in new music as well.
Check this out. The songstress, who has not released an
album since Rare back in twenty twenty, will rumored be
giving us new music on Friday, so she wants to
drop this I guess new track ahead of the BAF

(04:42):
does in London, where she is up for Best Supporting
Actress for that Netflix movie Amelia Perez. She wants to
drop this on Valentine's Day, and part of it's going
to be kind of an ode to her first romantic
holiday with fiancee Donny Blanco. I don't have any other
details yet, but I would love to hear new Selena Gomez.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
You know what, I'm be curious with her Benny Blanco
being such a big part of her life now that
dude's a music producer, they work together.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
I wish I had more details. I've got an eye
on it though, because if I learn more, you guys
will know all of you are celebsco at West Michigan
Star dot.

Speaker 7 (05:14):
Com sometimes does that get.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
A good feeling?

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Well, let's bring the positivity to this Wednesday morning, starting
on fine points. Yeah, but it's Mack at Schmidty with
feeling good right now. And you know it's hard not
to be around a Golden Retriever and not feel good,
right Schmiddy. Of the dog breeds that are out there,
one of the friendliest for sure. So how about gathering
thousands of them to celebrate the Golden Retrievers in Golden Colorado. Yes,

(05:41):
it just makes sense, doesn't it. It was the annual
Goldens for Golden or Golden's in Golden event there in
Golden Colorado. It was first held back in twenty nineteen,
and thousands of Golden Retrievers descend upon this city. It
really helps out the city as the slower winter months
kind of slowed down tourism there, so great opportunity for
people like Pam Soris, who came all the way from

(06:04):
Tennessee with our four month old puppy, saying that the
experience absolutely unlike anythings she'd ever seen before. Or Saints Kelly,
who was actually covering the event for the Golden Gazette.
What a job this guy had on this day. Listen
to how happy he is.

Speaker 8 (06:19):
There are thousands of Golden Retrievers out here right now,
and my objective today is to find the best boy
or girl.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Let's get started. And what's his name?

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Goose?

Speaker 3 (06:29):
You said, Goose? Are you a good boy?

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Are you a good boy?

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Look at the half fit?

Speaker 1 (06:34):
All right?

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Are you a good boy? I think so? Oh my goodness.
So I pet well over a thousand dogs, and I
can't decide who's the best boy or girl. So let
us know in the comments that would be me. I
would be petting thousands of dogs during that day. I
love the Golden Retriever breed is such a friendly, loving dog.
And to see all of them gathered like that, I mean,

(06:56):
what a happy place that had debas.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
That's where you wear your T shirt that says Heyden,
I said, hi, all right. A Yale Michigan veteran Yale,
just north of Detroit, has created a nonprofit organization that
is completely changing the lives of local veterans. Cars four Vets,
founded by retired Master Sergeant Mark Raboude, dedicated to providing

(07:20):
cars and SUVs to those who have served our country.
Rebote dedicated over two decades of his life to the
military and understands better than most the challenges that vet's
face trying to return to civilian life, and outside of
his passion for our country is a serious passion for cars.
He's been into classic cars almost his entire life. He

(07:40):
says he's a pretty decent mechanic and body man, and
started thinking a couple of years ago about maybe giving
a car to a VET once a year, trying to
help out. After getting COVID back in twenty twenty one,
that really fast tracked his plan. He realized, you can
be here one moment and gone the next, so as

(08:00):
soon as he was released from the hospital, he wanted
to make that idea a reality. He tells ABC seven
it was literally overnight.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
All this kind of came to me at four o'clock
in the morning, the Cars for Vets and the whole thing,
And by six o'clock, I was so excited about my
new idea that I crawl out of bed, put on
a put on a set of coveralls, and started on
my first car.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
And thankfully he did. He has helped so many to date,
over seventy two vets are back on the road thanks
to Cars for Vets. That includes retired Marine Corporal Kevin Ferguson,
who actually lived in Grand Rapids for a while after
facing so many hardships, including a cancer diagnosis that had

(08:41):
him discharged from the military, a divorce, a rollover accident,
even homelessness. He said, within one week of getting a vehicle,
he had two jobs and it's completely transformed his life.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Hey saved my life.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
Well, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
It was a lifeline. Then I needed you matter. Welcome home.
Welcome home.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Isn't that incredible? If you want to check out more,
you can search cars for the letter four vets am
I on Facebook and give him a helping hand.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
I love the part where he talked about how he
woke up with the idea at four o'clock in the morning,
I seting.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Out there, cover alls on, ready to go. Yeah, thank
you for your.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Service, big time. Feeling good Kevin ats a couple times
a day. We'll do it again this morning at nine
to one Mac and Schmidty's Feeling Good. Open your day
with positivity powered by Overhead Door Company of Grand Rapids
on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Well, Blake Lively starts out as just an actress, but
once she gets the role in a movie or show,
she likes to take over. That's what the internet is
saying after a newly resurfaced interview has her admitting to
something very interesting. This all goes back, obviously to the
drama of it ends with us, of course, her lawsuit

(09:57):
against director and co star Justin Baldoni his counter against her.
This is from twenty twenty two. Blake was at the
Forbes Power Women's Summit when she does cop to rug
pulling her words directors, writers and producers about what she
actually expects to be a part of in a movie.

Speaker 7 (10:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (10:15):
When I went in the meetings, I would just seem
like I'm just there to be the actor and ready
to get the gig. I wouldn't reveal that I actually
need to have authorship in order to fulfilled. So I
think that for them sometimes that might have felt like
a rug pull, because you're like, you're trying to assert
yourself into something that we didn't hire you to do,
and so it was like it was a really strange

(10:38):
position to be in because I felt like I don't
want to just like be a actor like I want to,
you know, I want to have more authorship.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
She even admits that sometimes her movies rub or motives
excuse me, rub people the wrong way, to the point
where she's even asked herself, am I the a hole here?
It's very interesting and has a lot of people talking
about it this morning.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I like that our current zeitgeist in life has us
asking us ourselves that question.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, another problem. I've got the full interview up for
you if you want to listen to the thing in
its entire context. At West Michigan Star dot Com, Oprah
opening up about a very painful childhood and trauma that
still haunts her to this day. On the latest episode
of the Oprah Podcast, she was joined by an American psychiatrist,

(11:29):
doctor Bruce Perry. He's a senior fellow of the Child
Trauma Academy in Houston, and discusses very personal pain when
it comes to her mother. Now this is especially hard.
Vernita Lee passed away back in twenty eighteen, and Oprah
admits it is still really really hard. This happens after
they get a call into the podcast about parent trauma.

Speaker 7 (11:50):
Watching it he makes me want to cry, But I remember,
I remember having to. I was being asked to come
to speak about my mother at a church, and everybody
knew she was my mother, and I'd been asked to
come to church to give all these accolades about my mother.
When it came time for me to speak, I thought, well,

(12:11):
what do I actually have to be grateful for? She
didn't debort me. She did the best that she knew.
The best that she knew was not enough to feed
what I needed.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, it has been getting lots of shares, thousands of comments,
one person saying, look at this, decades past billions earned
and this still brings her to tears. Parents need to
understand and appreciate what they do stays with children forever.
Even some other actresses in Hollywood, including Holly Robinson Pete
had had a heartfelt reaction to this and how big

(12:46):
it was for over to open up about it.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
You can just feel that authenticity about it. Right, This
isn't part of the.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Show intends to watch. Finally, if you need a little
help with your dairy air, have no fear. Fairy butt
mother Kim Kardashian is here to help her newest offering
from her Skims Shapewear brand launched yesterday, unveiling the ultimate

(13:12):
booty enhancing line that includes padded shorts, leggings, and body
suits for a bigger, rounder, perkier look.

it looks really good and her stuff is comfy.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
They've got skims for men. Does it have one for
flat butted men's.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
I don't know if the men's are out yet. I
would not be surprised if you get your own male BBL.
But I do have the whole video for you with
your scoop at West Michigan startup.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Come on and see it's macket schmitty and uh we're
taking it to the toilet or actually from the sky.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
I was gonna say I wish no. That I think
is a lot grosser, and I will apologize ahead of time.
If you have kids listening right now and you're not
necessarily into poop stories, you can maybe turn us down
for a couple of.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Minutes, everybody poops. You all read the book.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
I've got to talk about the most ridiculous Pooh story
that happened to me in nature while we were on vacation.
So we're down in Florida and my in laws have
a pool out on their linai that has a screened
in Selario.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Everything about that sounded boogie.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
It is bie and it's amazing.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
On the lunai over by my solarium.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
You don't have a single bug. It's all screened in.
There's no mosquitoes, Liz, nothing, there's nothing. You're just in
this amazing outdoor space with absolutely nothing bothering you. So
I think, and this is probably is there a day
there because I posted about this. So Saturday we're all outside.
The weather is absolutely top not just the best we

(15:07):
had the entire week. It's eighty five, it's sunny, there's
not a cloud in the sky, stunning, so angry. And
they have a very strange sand hill crane down there,
because I know we have them up here. Yeah, but
these ones fly really really high and they're really really loud,
like they're louder than any sandhill crane I've ever heard
in Michigan. Okay, they're really loud, and they're in these

(15:29):
like giant flocks, and so we were hearing them on
Saturday and I was like, dang, I gotta tell you,
I'm not gonna miss that. And they're flying over the
group of houses we're at.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Somebody didn't like that come.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
And I literally literally looked to my husband and I
was like, man, you know how I feel about birds.
I get so nervous that they're just gonna right on me,
not thirty five seconds later, not thirty five seconds later.
I am sitting in my lounge chair reading a book
and all of a sudden, I feel rain drops on me,

(16:02):
and I think that's weird, and I have brown spot.
And what happened is one of these sand hill cranes
decided to believe themselves. And because we were in this
screened in Solarium, when the waist hit, it acted like

(16:23):
one of those calanders that you use in your kitchen
and read the bro It was slow mo and I'm
like slowly putting my book down, and I'm like, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris,
Chris Chris. I'm like, is this what I think it is?
And then across the pool. My brother in law is
on the other end. He goes, oh my gosh, Oh

(16:45):
my gosh. I was like, poop, it is all over me.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
It's a mass pooping. Was it your brother talking about you?
Or did he get hit too?

Speaker 1 (16:54):
He got hit too. They must have been so and
they must have been so high up. I don't know
if it was a group effort. And it's just all
it's just splattered.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
You see those guys sitting in their solarium. They think
they're so safe. Look up.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
I could not believe it. And the worst part of this,
besides the waste splattered on my body, are my two
children that are like, oh.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
So hose or shower? Which is your first? That's it's
an airbnb. You can't come inside, does you ever?

Speaker 1 (17:32):
My in lawst place and they were like, you know what,
We've got the slider right behind you and it goes
right into the bathroom. Oh my gosh. I've never I've
only had one other issue with the siagel ones. I've
never had it spread on me like I'm straining noodles.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
It was so pro Don't you hate it when you
talk something into existence where the work you just said
it out loud in this like it's not gonna happen,
but it could happen, am I right before? You're being
basically flecked with pieces of poo from above?

Speaker 1 (18:04):
So I posted this picture on our Facebook and Instagram
because this is directly after it has happened. I like
could not believe this, and I knew I wanted to
talk about it, and I asked for your craziest Pooh story.
And I really feel for Sarah. She writes, I didn't
get pooed on, and the way she sets this scene,

(18:25):
but it was summer, windows down tunes on Living My
Best Life. My hand was out of the window, felt
the breeze. Life couldn't get any better until I ran
over some manure in the road. I was only ten
minutes from home, but it felt like an hour as
I got sprayed. I washed my hands so many times
and still felt like I could smell it. That's bad.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, honestly, I'm getting whipped up from the tires beneath
the car right onto your hand is going to be
an off putting feeling, for sure.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Sarah, you made me feel so much better. So if
you've got if you've got a good pood, on in
nature story would love to hear it six one six,
four five eight one oh five seven because Lord is
my witness. I will find that sand till crane and
take it out of this world for what it did

(19:13):
to me.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
I just like the uh that, the fact that the
screen in thing acted as a calder as you said,
calder calendar. I just sprayed it out across the unbelievable
fantastic Oh starting fin points seven, it's Mack and Schmiddeing
and his parents. We're all in this together. So we
try and make you feel a little better about your
own parenting skills with each.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Week's I don't know how many parents live of their kids,
and you can judge me if you'd like, but I
think a lot of you do. So we went to
Orlando last week because my in laws gifted us flights
for Christmas to go down and visit them.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Super nice.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
And if you know, going to Orlando, what do you
see everywhere you go? Billboards for Disney, billboards for Universal,
neither of which we were going to do because I'm
gonna need to sell a couple more Organs before i
can do that with both of my children. So we
touched down at the airport and I told them Disney
was closed and Harry Potter was back at school in

(20:10):
the UK.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
It happens. You know, Harry's got to pay attention to
his studies.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Too, You guys, there is not a single ounce of
me that felt bad doing that. It's just we're not
ready yet. You know how expensive that trip is. And
I know my kids adore Disney. They are hardcore into
Harry Potter right now, and we just could not do
it on this trip. So they would see everything, Oh
Animal Kingdom, oh Epcot. You saw every two inches you

(20:36):
walked there was something for those things. And I was like,
I'm really sorry. Mickey actually does not work on Wednesdays.
And I mean, you know, Harry like he's in the
middle of his well. We can't take him out of Hogwarts.
And my kids did not say a word. And I
know twenty years from now, when they're in therapy, that
is the first thing they're going to bring up about
their terrible mother.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Confess. Sorry, guys, but you know Harry's really cramming for
that magical creature test. Hagrid's going to be superwer So it's.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Your ow Well's you can't take him away from his
own WLLL mean you guys would watch for Harry.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
Edies music and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
It's the celebrities Goop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Well, fallout continues for Kanye West, now being sued by
a former colleague who is alleging he bullies his Jewish staffers,
rubbing their noses in his adoration for Hitler. He's being
sued by a Jewish woman who claims she worked as
a marketing specialist at Yeezy until she was unceremoniously fired

(21:39):
for having the gall to complain about his anti semitism
and court documents. The woman claims Ya even once texted
her and another Jewish staffer in a group chat and said,
welcome to the first day of working for Hitler. This
is just one of the allegations against him from this
specific lawsuit. Meanwhile, Kanye's website, yeezy dot com, as well

(22:02):
as all that despicable Nazi loving hate, is off the grid.
The site is officially offline as of today. It went
dark after selling that white T shirt with a black
swastika on the front. Ya's site completely gone. The host
of the platform has cut ties with the rapper. Shopify
says Yeezy dot Com did not engage in authentic commerce

(22:26):
practices and violated our terms, so we removed them from Shopify.
Kanye has also been dropped by his talent agency thirty
three and West, which confirmed that news a couple of
days ago.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Good make them broken now too, So you know what,
like take all the money, remove the plau.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
So unhinged and so dangerous.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
You are free to shay whatever you want in this country.
And I'm a big believer in that, e especially even
those ugly things like that. But you're not free from consequences.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Exactly, all right. Travis Kelcey speaking out for the first
time after that pretty terrible loss in the super Bowl
on the New Heights podcast, with an episode dropping today,
He admits a lot of the responsibility is on him.

Speaker 8 (23:09):
Just wasn't our day, couldn't find a lick of momentum.
I'm kicking myself for some of the tiny, tiny decisions
I made on the field. I wasn't the best leader
that I could be in motivating my guys and keeping
my guys you know, calm, cool, collected, And I put
a lot of that on myself as you know, the
guy that's been in the building for twelve years and
seeing a lot of football and actually seeing a situation

(23:31):
just like this in the Super Bowl. It's a tough
pill to swallow.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
It's a hard reality, man.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, he's definitely still reeling from that. However, his brother Jason,
always the good guy, there to remind Travis that he
caught four passes in that Super Bowl, bringing his total
to thirty five receptions over five Super Bowl appearances and
has surpassed Jerry Rice's previous record of thirty three.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Nope, record, hows are all your other records?

Speaker 10 (23:55):
Thanks?

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Brother? The only record I get is that he kept
going on the field. He's out there again.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Got a good brother. Finally, Mandy Moore is up against
Amazon after one of the company's drivers delivered a package
to the home of her in laws, which was burned
to the ground in the LA wildfires. Did you see
her insta story yesterday?

Speaker 10 (24:21):
Whoa?

Speaker 1 (24:22):
She got? On her stories posted a picture that she
had gotten from what appears to be a camera out
on the street, and it has a package sitting in rubble.
She writes, do better, Amazon, Can we not have better
discretion than to leave a package at a residence that
no longer exists. This is my mother and father in
law's home, shaking my head. It went viral enough to

(24:45):
get Amazon's attention. A spokesperson said, we've reached out to
miss Moore via her Instagram to apologize for this and
ask for more info from her in laws so we're
better able to investigate what happened here. For weeks, we've
been advising those who are delivering on our beha in
southern California to use discretion in areas that were impacted
by wildfires, especially if it involves delivering to a damaged

(25:07):
home and that clearly did not happen here.

picture that the guy had sensed insane, like to see
that there outside of for whatever reason, Mandy Moore's parents
like ordering twenty four hour prime delivery or overnight, Like,

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Good morning star? Who's this Lindsey? Where you're coming from today?
I call you all right, Lindsay one hundred nudes were asked,
what might a man asked a woman who he's trying
to pick up? What do you think? The top answer
is is taken? Are you taking that? You know? See
you're I think you're putting the cart before the horse

(26:53):
a little bit there. Probably ask if your what your
name is? At at least first before you're taken, but
that's not on there. I'm sorry, Lindsay, Hi, thank you,
thank you, Hi Star. Who's this? Hey? This is Chelsea, Chelsea.
I just got a good guess. When one hundred guys
were asked, what might a guy ask a woman who's
trying to pick up? I just heard are you taking?

(27:14):
And that was not on the list of top answers.
So you got a chance here, Chelsea. What do you
think it is? What's your name? What's your name? That's
actually what I told the last callers probably got to
come before are you taking? Or else? It's kind of weird,
but what's your name is actually the number three most
common answer on this list. I'm sorry, all right, thank you,

(27:36):
thank you, Hi Star. Who's this Steve? You're my first
gentleman who has had a chance to answer this question.
The ladies have gotten it wrong. So far, one hundred
men were asked what might a guy ask a woman
who's trying to pick up? And so far I heard
what's your name? Which seems like it should be a
pretty obvious one, but that was the number three most

(27:57):
common answer, and also are you taken? Which was not
on the list of top answers here, So Steve, hold
it down for the gentlemen. What is the top answer?

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Would you like a drink?

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Would you like a drink? Tried, tested and proven to
be an effective opening line, and girls, you've been getting
free drinks since the dawn of time from that line,
so don't complain about it too much. That's the top answer, Steve,
way to go, thank you? Yeah, Monster Jam tickets are yours.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Here's your new pickup line, Steve, would you like to
go see some monster trucks with me?

Speaker 9 (28:34):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, I don't know if it's gonna work quite the
same as buy you a drink? But yeah, it was
buy you a drink? What's your sign? What's your name?
And then what's your phone number? Rounded out those top
four answers. Steve, You're headed a Monster Jam. The seventh
through the ninth of next month over there at Vanandel Arena,
and we are trying to get you in too. We'll
do it again tomorrow eight fifteen with Battle of the
Sexes here on Star. Well done, Steve, Thank you so

(28:57):
much for so much fun. So I hope we all
feel loved. On Valentine's Day, it's mack and spitting here
on Star onear five point seven. I know it's like
your least favorite holiday, right, I can't stand it all right,
So let's try and take it out of the box
just a little bit, because I do think it's funny
when people get customized candy hearts. And last night we

(29:18):
were watching one of my wife's really stupid reality television shows,
and it was like their Valentine's episode, okay, and somebody
said some of the effect of like three words, I'm
in love, I've got money. And basically it was a
woman who was just saying like that's, you know, her
requirement for dating a guy or whatever. And so my
wife immediately turns to me and she's like, I bought tacos.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
That's a good one.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Yeah, she comes across, and so I asked online, I'm like,
what's the three words? If you could put them on
a candy heart for your Valentine, that you would actually
fall in love with them if they were just uttered
to you.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Let me head downstairs, because that means Chris is going
to the guest bedroom and I'll get a nice night
of sleep.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
That's not romance the heart.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
That's the most punky quiet talk dirty to me. Wan uh, BackRub,
I'm making a BackRub, Yeah, but you gotta be careful.
It's never a BackRub.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Well that's where it starts. And honestly I do at
this point in life, past forty, I do just want to.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Back rub, get downstairs, for that's what I need.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
I asked this on Facebook. Smitty we got you know,
one typical one from Sally Got You Chocolate. I liked
Mandy's though book The Trip. That's solid right there, But
in reality you think backrubs lead to this? How about
this one's Mitty Save a Horse.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yet it girl comes next?

Speaker 3 (30:40):
All right, and join the conversation. What three words would
make you fall in love? And it's on Facebook and
Instagram at West Michigan Star sometimes because I get a
good feeling, Yeah, stelling a five point sea, come moring
to you. It's Mack and Schmidty, trying to get you
over the hump in your work week. Feeling good right now?
What's happening?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
I adore our Grand Rapids, Griffin's and they are doing
something really cool next week the big game on February nineteenth.
It's a winning Wednesday at Vanandel will be a very
memorable one for one West Michigan woman as the team
raises awareness about heart health. Tracy Meyers her name. She
has been a massive Griffins fan for the last fifteen years,

(31:21):
saw both Calder Cup wins, even won a flyaway fan
experience in the spring of last year. She was going
to get to go to Chicago for a couple games
over the weekend. Unfortunately that didn't happen. In June of
twenty twenty three, Chase we see remembers going into the
doctor's office with shortness of breath. She couldn't walk from
here to there without having to stop. They did an

(31:42):
EKG and immediately center to the hospital. Arriving at Corwell
healthspred and Lena Meyer Heart Center, they realized Tracy was
in heart failure. After spending forty two days in the hospital,
she left with a left ventricular assist device helping her
heart pump blood more effectively, but they had to put
her on the heart transplant list, and if you can

(32:02):
believe it, a week before she was supposed to go
to Chicago for that experience, the call came in. Two
weeks after life saving heart transplant surgery. Meyer was shocked
when who walks through the door of her hospital two
Griffin's players and voice of the Griffins Bob Kazer, himself
an open heart surgery patient, signing a pillow, signing a jersey. Well,

(32:27):
ten months later, they are back at it, surprising Tracy again.
Check this out as she met with two Griffins players yesterday.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
You got to be at the game next Wednesday?

Speaker 10 (32:39):
Yea like the nineteenth Yeah okay, yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Well you might be dropping the pop.

Speaker 8 (32:46):
Being here today at the hospital just to meet somebody
who we've heard is a very big fan is obviously
it's heartwarming for us too.

Speaker 10 (32:52):
As hockey players and just in general as people. You know,
we're so blessed her where. It's such a good opportunity,
a great city. But just like to be able to
do the thing that we genuinely love every day and
means so much to us, and we want to give
back to the community that helps us.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Wasn't that incredible? So we'll be celebrating Tracy next Wednesday,
the nineteenth. Find yourself at Vananda with our grand Rapids Griffins.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
I love that, all right, Chmiddy. Down in Jackson Township, Ohio,
a former police officer, veteran and school bus driver, Todd
Morris is his name. He was enjoying his day off
when he became an incidental hero. You see. What he
was doing was actually coming from an appointment that had
gotten canceled, and he was driving by a house that

(33:35):
happened to be on his bus route. But again, this
was a day off of school, but he noticed smoke
coming from inside. Well for him, he said, his action
immediately was spurned by having to take care of what
he calls his kids. As he was explaining to Fox
five down there in Ohio.

Speaker 12 (33:52):
I literally do call them the kids on my bus,
they're my kids. I watch out for him at least
two hours a day, and I know every kid on
my bush. I knew that we were out of school
that day, and my first thought.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Was to get to my kids. That's right, to get
to his kids, and that's what he did. He jumped
out of the car, broke down the front door, said,
I was still yelling for the kids. Eventually started to
go upstairs. It was getting pretty thick. I couldn't even
tell what room the fire was in, but I could
see it was starting to get worse. I went to
get a breath of fresh air, came in and saw
both dogs were sitting at the bottom of the stairs

(34:26):
with the deer in headlights. Look. That's when he carried
a dog with special needs out of the house. Cox
the other one out, found out that no one was home,
but saved the dog, something that the Fisher family, the
home he went into, was extremely, extremely thankful for.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
When I heard who it was, I was just I
couldn't believe it. Hero, really, honestly, just I don't know
that I could do it. Kids were really grateful that
he got the two dogs out of the house. It
would have been terrible if that they didn't make it.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Hero for sure, feeling good coming at you a couple
times a day. I always want to share incredible stories.
We'll do it tomorrow at six forty five and nine
twenty Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday starting at
six am on Star one oh five point seven
