Speaker 2 (00:06):
It gets my day going and makes me laugh.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I of it Mac and Schmitty in the Morning on
Star one oh five point seven on.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Smitty Good Morning, and Happy Fat Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Oh Fat Tuesday. I need the skinny on Fat Tuesday. Here,
Schmitty because noticing there's definitely nothing out of the hallway
right now, and I'm just curious whether you know anything.
I don't do we have any now.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I've been on the air for about an hour before you,
and I've been trying to say, hey, so I don't
know there's any deliciously local businesses that want to drop
off maybe a poonscheck or two, but we'd sure love
to talk about yet.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I like to tell you every year, right, you already
nailed it right on the head poonscheck for singular poon
ski for plural.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Right. Well, my mother in law is still in town,
so there ain't no way I'm getting that wrong. She
would have me called up in a minute's notice. But
I also got to give it to the bakeries because
they're probably so dang busy this morning. I know Wood
TV is out at Sandystone right now over there on
Leonard and they are just grinding it out, trying to
get so many of these things ready. These places are
(01:07):
going to be packed today and that makes me so
happy because they deserve it. I know they've been putting
in quite a few days and nights of work to
be ready for today. So if you do have a craving,
I was looking through actually a Sandy's comment section about
your favorite flavors, and I have never had a key
lime pood check. Oh, but that sounds incredible.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I didn't even know existed.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
So find your local spot and hit him up today
because it is a great way to support local. And
they've been working real hard for this, movies, music and
all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well it's just so sad to report. But yesterday Dolly
Parton confirming the news her husband for more than half
a century passing away. Carl Dean was his name, And
in fact, you might not have known that. I certainly
didn't see a whole lot of pictures because the two
have been fiercely private about their relationship. Dolly announcing Carl's
(02:06):
passing last night, saying her beloved will be laid to
rest in a private ceremony with their immediate family. She
says he passed away yesterday in Nashville at the age
of eighty two. Carl and I spent many wonderful years together.
Words can't do justice to the love we shared for
over sixty years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.
(02:29):
She does say that privacy during this difficult time is necessary,
not mentioning the cause of death, but Carl had been
diagnosed with Alzheimer's back in twenty nineteen. The two were
married in nineteen sixty six after first meeting two years
earlier in a Nashville laundromat, Dolly calling their meeting love
at first sight. Carl was an asphalt contractor, rarely sharing
(02:53):
the spotlight with his wife. Photos and videos of the
two together were very, very rare because they were just
so private. Dolly says. Her twenty twelve song From Here
to the Moon and Back was written for Carl, and
they actually renewed their wedding vows back in twenty sixteen
to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I mean too, you right, that's like first to four
hundred years to be married in the entertainment industry, and
to do it without did you remember a Dolly Parton
and a husband's scandal? Do you remember anything like that?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
He just lived a completely normal, not famous life, and
it was one of the things I think that really
drew her to him. So I'll have some more next scoop.
She had some really beautiful things to say about him
in a resurfaced interview. But yeah, Caroldine passing away at
eighty two. Pat McAfee, the sportscaster and analyst, clearly trying
to make some peace with our neighbors to the north,
(03:46):
attempting to explain why he trashed Canada after fans booed
our national anthem at WWE this weekend. If you missed
my story yesterday, this is what Pat had to say
on Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
These were the most elimination chambers that the w and WE.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Has ever had.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Kind of sucks that it's in a terrible country, ip.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Tearing it up foot our national anthem.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Just start this.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Attires, but it's gonna be a historic night.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah. Well, he'd gotten a lot of hate online for that,
and yesterday during his show he gave a bit of
a maya culpa.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Okay, so I understand now from the Canadians that they
have a lot more passion for their country than I
could have ever imagined. A lot of terrible things have
been said about me, and I understand it. You boo
my country. I called your country terrible. Let's shake hands. Okay,
you said, you didn't boo every member of the United
States or every citizen in the United States America. Well,
I didn't say that Canadians are terrible. I said your
country was see you boot us. I said you're terrible.
(04:42):
Let's shake hands, let's move along. But my first reaction
whenever you bow our country is okay, let's fight yet
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So let's go shake their hands.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Canada boom, settled very Pat McAfee, yeah yeah. And finally
we could see some posthumous work from actress Michelle Trachtenberg.
Apparently she was on the verge of closing a deal
for a screenplay she had been shopping studios for right
before her passing. So this is according to director and
(05:14):
producer Casey Tebow, who's worked with Michelle quite a bit. Apparently,
the late actress wrote one of the best screenplays he's
ever read. It's called Toy Monster, based on this book
of the same name, and they'd been really close to
landing studio support before her death. So it follows the
controversial life of Jack Ryan, who left a job designing
(05:34):
missiles for the Pentagon during the Cold War to become
the chief engineer for Mattel when they were making Barbie.
Chatty kathis in Hot Wheels and kind of explores his
business and naughty side. In fact, there was a studio
that was close to funding this before they actually merged
with someone else. But Casey says a couple of studios
(05:54):
have already stepped up and said, we would really really
love to make this, We would love to fund this
in Casey said he is now determined to have this
made to see it through in honor Michelle. So we
actually might see that come to the big screen.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
It can't be on Amazon Prime. They already have a
Jack Ryan over there, Schmitty. It just wouldn't make it.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It sounds like a really interesting screen by, doesn't that all?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Right?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
All of you are celeb scoop at West Michigan star dot.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Com Sometimes because I get a good feeling, yeah, starmin
on five point seven always here to lift your spirits,
you know, and in the early mornings like that we
could use it so some positivity for you with feeling
good Right now, it's Mack and Schmidty and there's a
decent chance that if you've been into the Beltline Bar
in the last.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Half a century, you probably ran into her. Because after
forty seven years, one of their employees is finally ready
to retire. This is really neat belt Line Bar, their employee,
Chris A, as she was known. Anyone who's ever worked
in a restaurant knows that if there's multiple people at
the restaurant with the same name, you go at that
last divisial. But they just shared on Facebook yesterday the
(07:00):
Beltline Bar's Facebook page. After forty seven incredible years, we
say goodbye to the one and only Chris A as
she retires from Beltline Bar. Chris has been the heart
and soul of our team, touching the lives of our staff,
regulars and everyone who walked through our doors. Our district
manager Eddie put it best, they just don't make them
like that anymore. She'll be deeply missed, but will always
(07:22):
be a part of the Beltline Bar family. Chris wants
to thank everyone for the amazing memories. Let's send her
off with the love she deserves, and man did people
express their gratitude for her over the years, people like
Nicky Fastenelut from gr saying, congratulations in your retirement, Chris.
My husband and I would always request Chris if she
was working, Bob who said congrats, remember you fondly from
(07:44):
the early eighties when I was a frequent customer. You
were part of the reason the Beltline Bar is still
my favorite restaurant. And finally Bailey Elizabeth from gr who
said she deserves free margaritas for life. Congrats forty seven
minimum fre burritos for life. Well, my question, I did
a little burrito math here, schmitty. So assuming she worked
roughly five days a week, fifty weeks out of the year,
(08:05):
forty seven year, schmitty, how many wet burritos their famous
dish do you think she served in a day? What's
your guests pay about five?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
On average?
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You think more of that a day?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Say forty or fifty?
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
End of the Beltline behind.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I know they do shell them out. So let's just
say she did fifteen of them. We'll go right in
the middle. That's a one hundred and seventy five thousand
wet Burrito Schmitty.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Impressive, unbelievable, all right. I said that you probably wouldn't
expect this group of people to be in a crochet club,
but that's what has happened for a group of fifth
and sixth graders in Caledonia. This is so much fun.
Kraft Meadows Intermediate School is the home for eleven year
old Olive Rausch. She's a sixth grader, a bit of
(08:47):
an entrepreneur, and she's got some seriously impressive crochet skills.
So Beckith Sowerby, their stun teacher, admits she was a
little surprised when Olive said, hey, can we start an
after schools club? And room three h two fills every
single day. Olive said her Grandma's actually taught her how
to crochet. She says, when I'm bored, I'll sit in
(09:09):
crochet for hours. I find it relaxing and satisfying. And
I thought other friends of mine would as well. And
when they originally had twenty five people on the sign
up sheet, overnight it filled up to the most amount
of kids they could even fit in the classroom. This
is so cool. Thirteen on your side had I'll have
actually teach them how to crochet.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
People have definitely met other people that they didn't actually
know were in their grade.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
That everyone knows each other's names.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Now, look who are overlapped sour?
Speaker 7 (09:38):
First time? I thought it'd be fun and I sure
I can learn in crochet with my mom.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
How many did you start with in your magic group?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yes, so you did it right.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
It's kind of just like a community of crochetres.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, it seems like they're hooked. What video is very
sweet at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
All right, my daughter's in sixth grade, Betty. These woobles,
these crocheting starter kids, the woobles that.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Are up here. I learned how to knit in sixth grade.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Oh, you're all over this all right? People have been
hanging out with Grandma. Feeling good comes at you a
couple times a day. Big thank you to our friends
at Overhead Door Company of Grand Rapids, always encouraging you
to open your day with positivity. And we do it
again for you. Coming up this morning, nine to twenty.
I'd start one on five point seven.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, very sad news breaking yesterday, Carl Dean, the husband
of Dolly Parton, passing away at the age of fifty two,
the two together for more than half a century. Dolly
announced Carl's passing last night, saying her beloved passed yesterday
in Nashville at the age of eighty two and would
be laid to rest in a private ceremony with their
(10:46):
immediate family. Dolly wrote, Carl and I spent many wonderful
years together. Words cannot do justice to the love we
shared for over sixty years. Thank you for your prayers
and sympathy. While she did not give a cause of death,
Carl had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's back in twenty nineteen.
The two got married back in nineteen sixty six after
(11:06):
first meeting a couple of years earlier in the Nashville laundromat,
and Dolly said it was love at first time site
the two were fiercely private. Carl was an asphalt contractor
who rarely shared the spotlight with his wife, and that's
how they loved it. Dolly said her twenty twelve song
From Here to the Moon and Back was for Carl,
and they renewed their vows back in twenty sixteen for
(11:27):
their fiftieth anniversary. Just a couple months ago, Dolly Parton
actually went on the Bunny XO podcast and talked very
briefly about her nearly sixty year marriage and said, he's
quiet and I'm loud, and we're funny. He's hilarious, and
I think one of the things that's made it last
so long through the years is that we love each
(11:49):
other and we respect each other, but we have a
lot of fun. Again, Carl eighty two, and she's got
to be devastating for Dolly.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I meane, like he said, sixty years with the same person.
I mean in entertainment too. I said earlier, that's like
four hundred years. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Jenna Ortega from Wednesday, the Netflix hit series, forced to
take some pretty dramatic action to avoid aggressive fans outside
an Oscars party, and honestly, fans are thanking top Gun
star Miles Teller for stepping in and helping. So she
attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party and she was seen
(12:26):
leaving the soiree when she was absolutely mobbed by fans
to the point where she couldn't get through the crowd.
She couldn't make it to her vehicle. She did have
bodyguards with her that were trying to fend off this crowd.
But then you see Miles Teller realize what's going on
and immediately spring into action, trying to make a path
for her and hold people back. Now, what you're going
(12:46):
to hear is actually one of her bodyguards getting into
a scuffle while Miles is trying to escort her.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
The curte.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Touching me, touching me, I'm going crazy, let's go.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Straight.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Is he on the street though?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
So it was actually really really scary looking video, and
a lot of fans are like, oh, Miles Teller just
continues to be a good Dude's pretty well.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I don't trust a guy with a mustache like Miles
Teller has, so I'm surprised to see him step in.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I don't believe he has the stash did he get
rid of He's got like a whole facial beard going on. Now, Yeah,
it's actually really really attractive and any money you've seen
it would know.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Finally, this was a very interesting story. I had to
put it into scoop. Casey Anthony is launching her new
brand as a legal advocate. The formerly acquitted defendant who
was on trial for that twenty eleven murder of her daughter, Kayleie.
Marie Anthony explained that what she saw as a curse
(13:53):
at first has turned into a blessing and she has
started a TikTok to let fans know she is here
to advocate for them.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
I am a legal advocate, I am a researcher. I've
been in the legal field since twenty eleven, and in
this capacity, I feel that it's necessary, if I'm going
to continue to operate appropriately as a legal advocate, that
I start to advocate for myself and also advocate for
my daughter. For those of you who don't know, my
name is Kasey Anthony, my daughter is Kaylee Anthony. My
(14:21):
parents are George and Cindy Anthony. This is not about them.
This is not in response to anything that they have
said or done. That's not to say that I'm not
going to respond at some point to some of the
things that they have said and done.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It's very interesting, she said. The whole point of this
is for me to begin to reintroduce myself and tells
fans to expect many many videos on this platform.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Some things that you say that just kind of gross
me out there. The word fans grosses me out there.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I guess I don't know what else. I'm not sure
if it's really people, but like it's definitely guarded a
ton of attention. That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The other line I hated in there was I've been
part of the legal field since twenty one.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, just kind It's a three and a half minute video,
So I'll put it up for you. You can kind
of listen to the entire thing yourself with your scoop
at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
And you know, Sidi, I shaw this pic and I
think you know, when a lot of people see injuries online,
we all do the same thing. As soon as I
saw it, I went, you know.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You just came mad.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You just do the sucking of like ooh, you know
that did not feel good?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Makes your tummy feel gross because you know how much
pain it probably caused. How did your kids accidentally injure you?
I was out at Gimme par and Grill over the weekend.
I talked a little bit about that. We took the
kids out for some birthday fun for Will, played on
their sports simulators and everything was perfect until the very
end when I went to zip up my daughter's coat
(15:44):
and ripped half of my nail off. And this is
where I've got it. But there's more. This is a
deeper thing. So hold on because I have worked so
hard to get my nails good. And I think it
probably only women will understand this, but I was definitely
a nail biter. Like my entire life, I chewed my nails.
(16:06):
It was always something I was working on. And like
the last two years, I've been taking supplements and like
I changed my diet a bit to have like healthy skin,
hair and nails. I've been on a journey, you guys,
and they were looking so good. They were strong and healthy,
and they were long, and now I had to take
all of them off. Last night. It was devastating because
(16:29):
I was so afraid this was going to happen again.
And I'm still not sure how it happened. I went
to zip up her winter code, and I think because
my three year old daughter is in her I can
do it myself. Phase at the exact moment I started
to zip, I think she brought her hand to try
and zip as well, and I think my nail got
caught between the handle part and the zipper and I
(16:51):
pulled up and I heard the crack before I felt
the pain I heard. There was probably about three full seconds.
I heard the crack and I didn't look, and I go, oh,
I definitely just broke my nail. And then I looked down.
I said, I almost broke it to the quick and
I said, this is going to be so pain bars
(17:15):
and it was terrible and it hurts so bad. My
finger was spurting blood on her coat. She saw it happen,
so she starts screaming. Will comes over, He's like, what's
going on. My husband's like, what is it? I was like,
don't give me a napkin, and we need to get
out of here right now. My and my finger is
(17:35):
just oh, it's so terrible. And every time you even
slightly bump it, you guys, you know, it's like your
entire hand goes. We have exposed nerves and it's just
this shooting pain up my arm. And I figured, really really,
just because I needed to make sure my daughter was warm,
I lush an entirely.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Note.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It's gonna take like five years for that thing to
grow back. I mean it's ripped all the way down,
you know, like these are the dangers you take to
properly clothe your children. Oh my gosh, so I asked this, like,
what is just a really terrible way that your kids
accidentally injured you?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Like, poor Sophia felt so bad. I'm like, you didn't
do anything, Baite, it was just a total freak accident,
and you guys have had some problems. Laura, I literally
felt this as I read it. She said, A few
years ago, my daughter stepped on my big toe, ripped
my tonail completely off. It did grow back eventually, but
it's weird and totally different from my other nails, which
(18:34):
I'm so scared about. I'm gonna have some like mutant finger. However,
this thumbnail comes back, and then I think every at
least Catholic will feel you. Chris, my youngest ran out
of the pew at church. I went to grab her
and I hit the side of the pew and broke
my toe.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh yeah, I thought she was gonna say that she
smoked her knee on the end of the pew, because
every Catholic I know is done.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Broke her toe. Oh God, six one six four five
eight one oh five seven. Misery loves company. You guys,
what is the wildest way your kids accidentally injured you?
If you want to call in and join me in
my thumb sadness, I'd very much appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Always nice when you have, you know, broken bone and
you got to go into the doctor's office and get
the X ray and everything, and they're like, what happened,
and you're like, kids, kids happen bad.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Honestly, that shots the conversation right down. Let's get you
back as soon as we possibly can.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Shy, so salty, let's let the steam out of the bag.
Though it is time for salty schmidty here un start
one oh five point seven? And uh, you said car
repairs and these things should last forever. What's going on?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
We shouldn't have to buy tires for cars? I agree,
we just I mean, I don't think this is a
hot take you guys. I think that whatever the car
is that you bought, she just have its shoes forever.
So I call my car tires and feet.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Well, they don't have to be shoes. Never take them
off their feet. Iman.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Oh, so you guys were around for my journey with
my flat tire last week. Well, it could not be patched.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
It was.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
It was just destroyed, destroyed, And so my husband takes
my car in to get the tire swapped out, and
he goes, I'll probably buy two tires. That's what you're
supposed to do to be safe, to make sure that
they're even Oh well, it turns out. It turns out
the last time I got new tires on my car
was twenty seventeen. I got sixty five thousand miles out
of them. That's good, what I think? That is what
(20:24):
everybody keeps saying. You're like, wow, really those were incredible tires.
I said, really, because I think I should have gotten
a million miles out of them, because the cost of
tires is a bisurd. Yes, like I understand, I have
to get places and the rubber should probably be safe.
But really, that's what that's what a tire is. I've honestly,
as soon as the weather warms up, I'm back on
(20:44):
a tricycle, y'all. I cannot live in this economy right now.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Really, so Sulky, Honestly, Sevidie, I would actually bring you
with me every time I needed a car repair, just
so you could make explanations like that to the mechanic.
I just went honestly their faces that they'd be like.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Is this woman supposed to be on the road movies,
music and all the gossip.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
In one place celebrities on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Well, of course, I for you have been doing my
best to follow along with the It Ends with Us
drama concerning Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni going at each
other about what exactly happened behind the scenes of the
hit Netflix movie, including allegations of harassment. Well reports had
indicated a few weeks ago that Taylor Swift, one of
(21:34):
Blake Lively's very close friends, not exactly happy with being
brought into the lawsuit over a certain text message that
was sent allegedly saying Lively referring to Taylor as one
of her dragons and kind of yeah, kind of threatening
to use the power that she had. Well a new
(21:56):
report says that Swift's involvement in the case has taken
a turn, and Taylor will be subpoenaed to be questioned
under oath as part of the ongoing Lively versus Baldoni lawsuit.
A source close to the legal action said that this
could actually be very embarrassing for Blake. Both sides have
reportedly mentioned Swift in their filings, which is why the
(22:18):
Aerostour headliner is part of the very first group of
potential witnesses who have already been contacted by Baldoni's team.
The report also says that Taylor, along with it Ends
with US actors Jenny Slat and Isabella Ferrer, are included
in this witness list. If Swift is deposed, she'd be
sworn into answer questions under oath, and then whatever she
(22:40):
says would be recorded by a court reporter. Obviously, the
big thing here, all of this making its way to
the public, and we're not exactly sure what would be
asked or what Taylor would have to say, but she's
not usually one that likes to be real public on
things like that.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Well, and she's got such a huge legal team that
I would imagine she either will do it because she
wants to help her friend and things she can, or
she doesn't want to be a part of it in
any way, shape or form, and her lawyers will shut
it down and said Miss Swift has no recollection if
any of the events involved in this thing.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'll be interested with the subpoena. Carl Dean, Dolly Parton's
husband for more than half a century has passed away.
Dolly confirming the news last night, saying he passed yesterday
in Nashville at the age of eighty two. He is
going to be late to rest in a private ceremony
with only immediate family attending. Dolly writes, Carl and I
spent many wonderful years together and words cannot do justice
(23:30):
to the love we shared for over sixty years. Thank
you for your prayers and sympathy. While she did not
give a cause of death, Carl had been diagnosed with
Alzheimer's disease back in twenty nineteen. Hollywood and fans alike
reacting this morning, one user saying Dolly once said Carl
only ever saw her perform once in over sixty years together.
(23:51):
He loved her for her, not for the rhine stones.
While he's passed away at eighty two, their kind of
love never dies else, writing her love story with Carl
was one for the ages, and his memory will live
on in the beautiful life they built together. Not many
people deserved to be so happy together, but they absolutely did.
Dolly reportedly just very very crushed over this and working on,
(24:16):
you know, finding her way the best that she can.
His siblings are still alive, and she's just kind of
grasping the.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Family right now. Yeah, it's I'm sure it's going to
be difficult just because i mean, no children in all
that time together, you know, never decided to go that route.
And so really at this point in life, she said
she has his siblings that are left.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, he still has Sandra and Donnie.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
That's good. At least sixty years together, so I know.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Finally, fans very nervous as we continue to see some
odd social posting from Justin Bieber. In a new Instagram
video that he posted yesterday, he shares photos of what
looked like him smoking some kind of drug while sitting
on an e bike, and a lot of fans are
popping into that commons section, going hey, man, is everything okay?
(25:07):
Apparently he is on a getaway to Idaho where he's
ringing in his thirty first birthday. We did get a
couple of cute little like back of the headshots of
him and Haley Bieber's son six months old already Jack,
but nothing that shows his face and Haley's only in
a couple of them, you'll notice he was not at
any of the Oscar parties with Haley and fans are
(25:29):
just like man, oh man, get it together, One user writing,
aren't you in your thirties? This is a post a
fourteen year old would make man up and be a dad.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It does look pretty ridiculous. I mean he's in a hoodie,
riding a bike and with a big contraption.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
To smoking paraphernalias what we'll call it, some big paraphernalia
you probably wouldn't want to find, and maybe your kid's bedroom.
I've got all that up for you with your scoop
at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Let's throw down Battle of this Sex is looking to
get you to Monster Jam kick it on Friday over
there at van Anelreena and running through the weekend.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, it's gonna be so much fun. We have got
tickets for the whole fam. One hundred men surveyed. Name
an occupation that uses keys? Guys, look about these answers?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Now?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Was shocksh bitty because where's pianists? There's no pianist anywhere
on here who works with keys.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
More than sorry for a bad dad joke on a Tuesday, guys,
all right, six one, six, four, five eight, what oh
five seven. One hundred men surveyed name an occupation that
uses keys? Caller seven, You've got the number one answer,
and we are sending you to Monster Jam with Star
one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Good morning, Star. Who's this? Good morning? This is ann
And where are you calling from today?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Sparta?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Uh, you have just got to tell me. And when
a hundred guys were asked to name an occupation that
deals with keys, what if they say is their top
as janitor? A janitor. I'm surprised she didn't go with
you know, like a locksmith in there, or you know,
I said pianist. How about a computer specialist computer key
(27:02):
with that too? But you were wise and you went
with this stereotypical one because we all when we think
of a custodian, they got to have that giant ring
with four billion keys on it every single time. So
that's why it's the top way to go. Got Monster
Jam tickets? Aw come, I guess Monster Jam kicks off Friday,
rolling through Sunday. They're at Van Andel Loreena, going to
(27:24):
be a whole lot of fun and we're trying to
get your family tickets right now at West Michigan Star
dot com and another chance tomorrow at eight fifteen with
Battle of the Sexes. But no worries for you. You're
gonna be there this weekend. Congrats, great, thank you. I'm
on it to you. And there's always a conversation around
phone use and anxiety, and especially when it comes to
(27:44):
our young people, obviously, right, and so you know, they
talked to a bunch of gen Zers and gen Z
by and large has a phone strategy that they employ,
not sometimes, not when they're at work, not when they're
at school, you know, not when they're at church, but
all the time they just leave their phone on do
not disturb. Who No, And the reason being is that
(28:05):
while they're still constantly on their phones and checking them
every five seconds, just like the rest of us, it's
those alerts that come in that drive them insane and
give them all sorts of anxiety they can't deal with.
So they just believe it on do not disturb, but
they check their phone so often it doesn't negatively.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Instead of just turning the notifications off, I'd almost rather
do that, yeah, because you don't even see the notifications
come in when it's on do not disturb.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
So I thought that was interesting, but I feel like
we all have a setting that just digs its way
into our soul a little bit after a while, that
we have to remove for our lives, for our own
mental sanctity.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Right, Oh, I don't know. I've never done it, You've.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Never taken it off your phone. So one that I
had to do, one that I had to do a
long time ago before it even got here, was just
I can't get an alert every time I get an
email at work. I just get too many emails. I
check my email religiously, probably every thirty minutes, and I'm
always afraid about an email that I'm waiting for. So
I feel like it's already a part of my own
(29:02):
nervous energy. But I had to turn that off immediately
because it literally was making me insane.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah, I probably get I probably get about two hundred
fifty emails today.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, that sounds about right. I can't do two hundred
and fifty dings on that at all, Like that would
drive me absolutely insane. And my work email, that's the
one where I feel like I get a reasonable amount
of emails. Somebody who gets an alert every time their
Gmail or their Yahoo gets a new spam that tears
(29:31):
a folder or something. What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I don't think I have either one of those turned on.
I don't need to know. My Gmail is so overpacked.
I get an alert every month that says I'm going
to no longer receive emails because between that and my
Google Drive, I've been paying for storage, which makes me
just hate myself.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yeah, I can see that. What is there a specific
setting or phone noise that you just feel like bothers
you more than anything?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I think I'm just so deep into this thing. I
am ans or every Instagram comment immediately, every Instagram DM,
every TikTok, every Facebook.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
You're giving me the anxiety.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
I know because I've been pushed for almost twenty years
that social media is very important here and your algorithm
literally changes if you don't do those things us. So
I'm just sitting here like I'll probably die at fifty.
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
What is the phone setting that you just can't stand?
We do have it up on Facebook right now at
West Michigan.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Star some down does I get a good feeling?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Well, the glass is always half fault when you're here
feeling good? Right now in five point seven, I have got.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
To shout out an incredible thirteen year old that is
on quite a mission and bringing a spotlight to this
means that we can all help her out. Thirteen year
old Abby Jones lives in Grand Rapids, a middle school
student on a mission to raise one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars for the Mid Michigan Honor Flight, a group
it sends veterans to our nation's capital. Sat down with
(31:03):
Wood TV and Abby said that her passion behind this
project comes from family.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
I got interested because my family has a long line
of veterans. My uncle Johnny was in the army and
he struggled with PTSD and in twenty fifteen he ended
his struggle, and I didn't want the families to go
through what our family went through.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Unbelievably articulate for a thirteen year old, and she has
been working her booty off. She's been raising money going
around the state and parts of the country, asking people
to donate online and set up fundraisers. That one hundred
and twenty k would actually cover an entire flight to Washington, DC.
(31:46):
She said that this is a very big deal. She
came here to search for some more options, originally from
Oakland County. She knows how much our veterans mean over
in West Michigan as well, and check this out. She
actually got to go on an honor flight a couple
of years ago.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
The trip was really awesome. Honestly, a lot of the
veterans were closed off towards the beginning of the trip
and not talking to anybody except their chaperone. Was the end,
the veterans started to open up more and talk to
everybody and joke around and stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
So I am here to spread the word. If you
were interested in helping Abby in any way that you can,
you can email them info at mid Michigan Honor Flight
dot org. I'll put all this info up because I
just cannot believe a thirteen year old is able to
do this and understands the mission behind this for our veterans.
(32:36):
I thought it was just the coolest.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Thing this morning. Yeah, those honor flights are unbelievable, and
for a thirteen year old to have that kind of
perspective is believable. Like you said, all right, Tifinny, this
is just cool. I feel like every community goes through it.
The last video store closes, Schmitty. It was a family
video in my hometown of Voting Lake Michigan, and I
think it stayed open until just a little bit before
(32:58):
pre pandemic. How have in Pocatello, Idaho, the longtime videos
stop was their last rental store in town, and it
would have been a heartbreaking lass for Christina Kavanaugh is
a young woman, a longtime customer though with down syndrome,
and for over fifteen years, renting movies there at Video
Stuff has been important part of Christina's routine. And heard
(33:22):
her mom very worried about how she'd cope with the change,
And somebody who totally understood was the store's owner, David Creaning,
who decided he was going to keep a small section
of videos open and basically move a portion of his
video store into his adjacent general store that he had right.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
Next to it.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
And get this, they renamed the whole thing Christina's Corner.
So now people around town they all recognize that it's
this special spot that's for her, But lots of people
still go in to rent videos over there, and she
still got her favorite place that she's been frequenting for
fifteen years. Wow, love to see that her mother. I'm saying,
how can your heart not melt when you see people
(34:03):
in the community taking care of each other definitely a
message we're spreading for sure. That's what we try to
do each and every day. With feeling good coming at
you again tomorrow six forty five and nine twenty right
here on Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday,
starting at six am on Star one oh five point
seven
Wake up.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It gets my day going and makes me laugh.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I of it Mac and Schmitty in the Morning on
Star one oh five point seven on.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Smitty Good Morning, and Happy Fat Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Oh Fat Tuesday. I need the skinny on Fat Tuesday. Here,
Schmitty because noticing there's definitely nothing out of the hallway
right now, and I'm just curious whether you know anything.
I don't do we have any now.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I've been on the air for about an hour before you,
and I've been trying to say, hey, so I don't
know there's any deliciously local businesses that want to drop
off maybe a poonscheck or two, but we'd sure love
to talk about yet.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I like to tell you every year, right, you already
nailed it right on the head poonscheck for singular poon
ski for plural.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Right. Well, my mother in law is still in town,
so there ain't no way I'm getting that wrong. She
would have me called up in a minute's notice. But
I also got to give it to the bakeries because
they're probably so dang busy this morning. I know Wood
TV is out at Sandystone right now over there on
Leonard and they are just grinding it out, trying to
get so many of these things ready. These places are
(01:07):
going to be packed today and that makes me so
happy because they deserve it. I know they've been putting
in quite a few days and nights of work to
be ready for today. So if you do have a craving,
I was looking through actually a Sandy's comment section about
your favorite flavors, and I have never had a key
lime pood check. Oh, but that sounds incredible.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I didn't even know existed.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
So find your local spot and hit him up today
because it is a great way to support local. And
they've been working real hard for this, movies, music and
all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well it's just so sad to report. But yesterday Dolly
Parton confirming the news her husband for more than half
a century passing away. Carl Dean was his name, And
in fact, you might not have known that. I certainly
didn't see a whole lot of pictures because the two
have been fiercely private about their relationship. Dolly announcing Carl's
(02:06):
passing last night, saying her beloved will be laid to
rest in a private ceremony with their immediate family. She
says he passed away yesterday in Nashville at the age
of eighty two. Carl and I spent many wonderful years together.
Words can't do justice to the love we shared for
over sixty years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.
(02:29):
She does say that privacy during this difficult time is necessary,
not mentioning the cause of death, but Carl had been
diagnosed with Alzheimer's back in twenty nineteen. The two were
married in nineteen sixty six after first meeting two years
earlier in a Nashville laundromat, Dolly calling their meeting love
at first sight. Carl was an asphalt contractor, rarely sharing
(02:53):
the spotlight with his wife. Photos and videos of the
two together were very, very rare because they were just
so private. Dolly says. Her twenty twelve song From Here
to the Moon and Back was written for Carl, and
they actually renewed their wedding vows back in twenty sixteen
to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I mean too, you right, that's like first to four
hundred years to be married in the entertainment industry, and
to do it without did you remember a Dolly Parton
and a husband's scandal? Do you remember anything like that?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
He just lived a completely normal, not famous life, and
it was one of the things I think that really
drew her to him. So I'll have some more next scoop.
She had some really beautiful things to say about him
in a resurfaced interview. But yeah, Caroldine passing away at
eighty two. Pat McAfee, the sportscaster and analyst, clearly trying
to make some peace with our neighbors to the north,
(03:46):
attempting to explain why he trashed Canada after fans booed
our national anthem at WWE this weekend. If you missed
my story yesterday, this is what Pat had to say
on Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
These were the most elimination chambers that the w and WE.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Has ever had.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Kind of sucks that it's in a terrible country, ip.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Tearing it up foot our national anthem.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Just start this.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Attires, but it's gonna be a historic night.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah. Well, he'd gotten a lot of hate online for that,
and yesterday during his show he gave a bit of
a maya culpa.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Okay, so I understand now from the Canadians that they
have a lot more passion for their country than I
could have ever imagined. A lot of terrible things have
been said about me, and I understand it. You boo
my country. I called your country terrible. Let's shake hands. Okay,
you said, you didn't boo every member of the United
States or every citizen in the United States America. Well,
I didn't say that Canadians are terrible. I said your
country was see you boot us. I said you're terrible.
(04:42):
Let's shake hands, let's move along. But my first reaction
whenever you bow our country is okay, let's fight yet
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So let's go shake their hands.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Canada boom, settled very Pat McAfee, yeah yeah. And finally
we could see some posthumous work from actress Michelle Trachtenberg.
Apparently she was on the verge of closing a deal
for a screenplay she had been shopping studios for right
before her passing. So this is according to director and
(05:14):
producer Casey Tebow, who's worked with Michelle quite a bit. Apparently,
the late actress wrote one of the best screenplays he's
ever read. It's called Toy Monster, based on this book
of the same name, and they'd been really close to
landing studio support before her death. So it follows the
controversial life of Jack Ryan, who left a job designing
(05:34):
missiles for the Pentagon during the Cold War to become
the chief engineer for Mattel when they were making Barbie.
Chatty kathis in Hot Wheels and kind of explores his
business and naughty side. In fact, there was a studio
that was close to funding this before they actually merged
with someone else. But Casey says a couple of studios
(05:54):
have already stepped up and said, we would really really
love to make this, We would love to fund this
in Casey said he is now determined to have this
made to see it through in honor Michelle. So we
actually might see that come to the big screen.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
It can't be on Amazon Prime. They already have a
Jack Ryan over there, Schmitty. It just wouldn't make it.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It sounds like a really interesting screen by, doesn't that all?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Right?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
All of you are celeb scoop at West Michigan star dot.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Com Sometimes because I get a good feeling, yeah, starmin
on five point seven always here to lift your spirits,
you know, and in the early mornings like that we
could use it so some positivity for you with feeling
good Right now, it's Mack and Schmidty and there's a
decent chance that if you've been into the Beltline Bar
in the last.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Half a century, you probably ran into her. Because after
forty seven years, one of their employees is finally ready
to retire. This is really neat belt Line Bar, their employee,
Chris A, as she was known. Anyone who's ever worked
in a restaurant knows that if there's multiple people at
the restaurant with the same name, you go at that
last divisial. But they just shared on Facebook yesterday the
(07:00):
Beltline Bar's Facebook page. After forty seven incredible years, we
say goodbye to the one and only Chris A as
she retires from Beltline Bar. Chris has been the heart
and soul of our team, touching the lives of our staff,
regulars and everyone who walked through our doors. Our district
manager Eddie put it best, they just don't make them
like that anymore. She'll be deeply missed, but will always
(07:22):
be a part of the Beltline Bar family. Chris wants
to thank everyone for the amazing memories. Let's send her
off with the love she deserves, and man did people
express their gratitude for her over the years, people like
Nicky Fastenelut from gr saying, congratulations in your retirement, Chris.
My husband and I would always request Chris if she
was working, Bob who said congrats, remember you fondly from
(07:44):
the early eighties when I was a frequent customer. You
were part of the reason the Beltline Bar is still
my favorite restaurant. And finally Bailey Elizabeth from gr who
said she deserves free margaritas for life. Congrats forty seven
minimum fre burritos for life. Well, my question, I did
a little burrito math here, schmitty. So assuming she worked
roughly five days a week, fifty weeks out of the year,
(08:05):
forty seven year, schmitty, how many wet burritos their famous
dish do you think she served in a day? What's
your guests pay about five?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
On average?
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You think more of that a day?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Say forty or fifty?
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
End of the Beltline behind.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I know they do shell them out. So let's just
say she did fifteen of them. We'll go right in
the middle. That's a one hundred and seventy five thousand
wet Burrito Schmitty.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Impressive, unbelievable, all right. I said that you probably wouldn't
expect this group of people to be in a crochet club,
but that's what has happened for a group of fifth
and sixth graders in Caledonia. This is so much fun.
Kraft Meadows Intermediate School is the home for eleven year
old Olive Rausch. She's a sixth grader, a bit of
(08:47):
an entrepreneur, and she's got some seriously impressive crochet skills.
So Beckith Sowerby, their stun teacher, admits she was a
little surprised when Olive said, hey, can we start an
after schools club? And room three h two fills every
single day. Olive said her Grandma's actually taught her how
to crochet. She says, when I'm bored, I'll sit in
(09:09):
crochet for hours. I find it relaxing and satisfying. And
I thought other friends of mine would as well. And
when they originally had twenty five people on the sign
up sheet, overnight it filled up to the most amount
of kids they could even fit in the classroom. This
is so cool. Thirteen on your side had I'll have
actually teach them how to crochet.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
People have definitely met other people that they didn't actually
know were in their grade.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
That everyone knows each other's names.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Now, look who are overlapped sour?
Speaker 7 (09:38):
First time? I thought it'd be fun and I sure
I can learn in crochet with my mom.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
How many did you start with in your magic group?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yes, so you did it right.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
It's kind of just like a community of crochetres.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, it seems like they're hooked. What video is very
sweet at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
All right, my daughter's in sixth grade, Betty. These woobles,
these crocheting starter kids, the woobles that.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Are up here. I learned how to knit in sixth grade.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Oh, you're all over this all right? People have been
hanging out with Grandma. Feeling good comes at you a
couple times a day. Big thank you to our friends
at Overhead Door Company of Grand Rapids, always encouraging you
to open your day with positivity. And we do it
again for you. Coming up this morning, nine to twenty.
I'd start one on five point seven.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, very sad news breaking yesterday, Carl Dean, the husband
of Dolly Parton, passing away at the age of fifty two,
the two together for more than half a century. Dolly
announced Carl's passing last night, saying her beloved passed yesterday
in Nashville at the age of eighty two and would
be laid to rest in a private ceremony with their
(10:46):
immediate family. Dolly wrote, Carl and I spent many wonderful
years together. Words cannot do justice to the love we
shared for over sixty years. Thank you for your prayers
and sympathy. While she did not give a cause of death,
Carl had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's back in twenty nineteen.
The two got married back in nineteen sixty six after
(11:06):
first meeting a couple of years earlier in the Nashville laundromat,
and Dolly said it was love at first time site
the two were fiercely private. Carl was an asphalt contractor
who rarely shared the spotlight with his wife, and that's
how they loved it. Dolly said her twenty twelve song
From Here to the Moon and Back was for Carl,
and they renewed their vows back in twenty sixteen for
(11:27):
their fiftieth anniversary. Just a couple months ago, Dolly Parton
actually went on the Bunny XO podcast and talked very
briefly about her nearly sixty year marriage and said, he's
quiet and I'm loud, and we're funny. He's hilarious, and
I think one of the things that's made it last
so long through the years is that we love each
(11:49):
other and we respect each other, but we have a
lot of fun. Again, Carl eighty two, and she's got
to be devastating for Dolly.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I meane, like he said, sixty years with the same person.
I mean in entertainment too. I said earlier, that's like
four hundred years. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Jenna Ortega from Wednesday, the Netflix hit series, forced to
take some pretty dramatic action to avoid aggressive fans outside
an Oscars party, and honestly, fans are thanking top Gun
star Miles Teller for stepping in and helping. So she
attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party and she was seen
(12:26):
leaving the soiree when she was absolutely mobbed by fans
to the point where she couldn't get through the crowd.
She couldn't make it to her vehicle. She did have
bodyguards with her that were trying to fend off this crowd.
But then you see Miles Teller realize what's going on
and immediately spring into action, trying to make a path
for her and hold people back. Now, what you're going
(12:46):
to hear is actually one of her bodyguards getting into
a scuffle while Miles is trying to escort her.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
The curte.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Touching me, touching me, I'm going crazy, let's go.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Straight.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Is he on the street though?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
So it was actually really really scary looking video, and
a lot of fans are like, oh, Miles Teller just
continues to be a good Dude's pretty well.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I don't trust a guy with a mustache like Miles
Teller has, so I'm surprised to see him step in.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I don't believe he has the stash did he get
rid of He's got like a whole facial beard going on. Now, Yeah,
it's actually really really attractive and any money you've seen
it would know.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Finally, this was a very interesting story. I had to
put it into scoop. Casey Anthony is launching her new
brand as a legal advocate. The formerly acquitted defendant who
was on trial for that twenty eleven murder of her daughter, Kayleie.
Marie Anthony explained that what she saw as a curse
(13:53):
at first has turned into a blessing and she has
started a TikTok to let fans know she is here
to advocate for them.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
I am a legal advocate, I am a researcher. I've
been in the legal field since twenty eleven, and in
this capacity, I feel that it's necessary, if I'm going
to continue to operate appropriately as a legal advocate, that
I start to advocate for myself and also advocate for
my daughter. For those of you who don't know, my
name is Kasey Anthony, my daughter is Kaylee Anthony. My
(14:21):
parents are George and Cindy Anthony. This is not about them.
This is not in response to anything that they have
said or done. That's not to say that I'm not
going to respond at some point to some of the
things that they have said and done.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It's very interesting, she said. The whole point of this
is for me to begin to reintroduce myself and tells
fans to expect many many videos on this platform.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Some things that you say that just kind of gross
me out there. The word fans grosses me out there.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I guess I don't know what else. I'm not sure
if it's really people, but like it's definitely guarded a
ton of attention. That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The other line I hated in there was I've been
part of the legal field since twenty one.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, just kind It's a three and a half minute video,
So I'll put it up for you. You can kind
of listen to the entire thing yourself with your scoop
at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
And you know, Sidi, I shaw this pic and I
think you know, when a lot of people see injuries online,
we all do the same thing. As soon as I
saw it, I went, you know.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You just came mad.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You just do the sucking of like ooh, you know
that did not feel good?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Makes your tummy feel gross because you know how much
pain it probably caused. How did your kids accidentally injure you?
I was out at Gimme par and Grill over the weekend.
I talked a little bit about that. We took the
kids out for some birthday fun for Will, played on
their sports simulators and everything was perfect until the very
end when I went to zip up my daughter's coat
(15:44):
and ripped half of my nail off. And this is
where I've got it. But there's more. This is a
deeper thing. So hold on because I have worked so
hard to get my nails good. And I think it
probably only women will understand this, but I was definitely
a nail biter. Like my entire life, I chewed my nails.
(16:06):
It was always something I was working on. And like
the last two years, I've been taking supplements and like
I changed my diet a bit to have like healthy skin,
hair and nails. I've been on a journey, you guys,
and they were looking so good. They were strong and healthy,
and they were long, and now I had to take
all of them off. Last night. It was devastating because
(16:29):
I was so afraid this was going to happen again.
And I'm still not sure how it happened. I went
to zip up her winter code, and I think because
my three year old daughter is in her I can
do it myself. Phase at the exact moment I started
to zip, I think she brought her hand to try
and zip as well, and I think my nail got
caught between the handle part and the zipper and I
(16:51):
pulled up and I heard the crack before I felt
the pain I heard. There was probably about three full seconds.
I heard the crack and I didn't look, and I go, oh,
I definitely just broke my nail. And then I looked down.
I said, I almost broke it to the quick and
I said, this is going to be so pain bars
(17:15):
and it was terrible and it hurts so bad. My
finger was spurting blood on her coat. She saw it happen,
so she starts screaming. Will comes over, He's like, what's
going on. My husband's like, what is it? I was like,
don't give me a napkin, and we need to get
out of here right now. My and my finger is
(17:35):
just oh, it's so terrible. And every time you even
slightly bump it, you guys, you know, it's like your
entire hand goes. We have exposed nerves and it's just
this shooting pain up my arm. And I figured, really really,
just because I needed to make sure my daughter was warm,
I lush an entirely.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Note.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It's gonna take like five years for that thing to
grow back. I mean it's ripped all the way down,
you know, like these are the dangers you take to
properly clothe your children. Oh my gosh, so I asked this, like,
what is just a really terrible way that your kids
accidentally injured you?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Like, poor Sophia felt so bad. I'm like, you didn't
do anything, Baite, it was just a total freak accident,
and you guys have had some problems. Laura, I literally
felt this as I read it. She said, A few
years ago, my daughter stepped on my big toe, ripped
my tonail completely off. It did grow back eventually, but
it's weird and totally different from my other nails, which
(18:34):
I'm so scared about. I'm gonna have some like mutant finger. However,
this thumbnail comes back, and then I think every at
least Catholic will feel you. Chris, my youngest ran out
of the pew at church. I went to grab her
and I hit the side of the pew and broke
my toe.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh yeah, I thought she was gonna say that she
smoked her knee on the end of the pew, because
every Catholic I know is done.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Broke her toe. Oh God, six one six four five
eight one oh five seven. Misery loves company. You guys,
what is the wildest way your kids accidentally injured you?
If you want to call in and join me in
my thumb sadness, I'd very much appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Always nice when you have, you know, broken bone and
you got to go into the doctor's office and get
the X ray and everything, and they're like, what happened,
and you're like, kids, kids happen bad.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Honestly, that shots the conversation right down. Let's get you
back as soon as we possibly can.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Shy, so salty, let's let the steam out of the bag.
Though it is time for salty schmidty here un start
one oh five point seven? And uh, you said car
repairs and these things should last forever. What's going on?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
We shouldn't have to buy tires for cars? I agree,
we just I mean, I don't think this is a
hot take you guys. I think that whatever the car
is that you bought, she just have its shoes forever.
So I call my car tires and feet.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Well, they don't have to be shoes. Never take them
off their feet. Iman.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Oh, so you guys were around for my journey with
my flat tire last week. Well, it could not be patched.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
It was.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
It was just destroyed, destroyed, And so my husband takes
my car in to get the tire swapped out, and
he goes, I'll probably buy two tires. That's what you're
supposed to do to be safe, to make sure that
they're even Oh well, it turns out. It turns out
the last time I got new tires on my car
was twenty seventeen. I got sixty five thousand miles out
of them. That's good, what I think? That is what
(20:24):
everybody keeps saying. You're like, wow, really those were incredible tires.
I said, really, because I think I should have gotten
a million miles out of them, because the cost of
tires is a bisurd. Yes, like I understand, I have
to get places and the rubber should probably be safe.
But really, that's what that's what a tire is. I've honestly,
as soon as the weather warms up, I'm back on
(20:44):
a tricycle, y'all. I cannot live in this economy right now.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Really, so Sulky, Honestly, Sevidie, I would actually bring you
with me every time I needed a car repair, just
so you could make explanations like that to the mechanic.
I just went honestly their faces that they'd be like.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Is this woman supposed to be on the road movies,
music and all the gossip.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
In one place celebrities on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Well, of course, I for you have been doing my
best to follow along with the It Ends with Us
drama concerning Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni going at each
other about what exactly happened behind the scenes of the
hit Netflix movie, including allegations of harassment. Well reports had
indicated a few weeks ago that Taylor Swift, one of
(21:34):
Blake Lively's very close friends, not exactly happy with being
brought into the lawsuit over a certain text message that
was sent allegedly saying Lively referring to Taylor as one
of her dragons and kind of yeah, kind of threatening
to use the power that she had. Well a new
(21:56):
report says that Swift's involvement in the case has taken
a turn, and Taylor will be subpoenaed to be questioned
under oath as part of the ongoing Lively versus Baldoni lawsuit.
A source close to the legal action said that this
could actually be very embarrassing for Blake. Both sides have
reportedly mentioned Swift in their filings, which is why the
(22:18):
Aerostour headliner is part of the very first group of
potential witnesses who have already been contacted by Baldoni's team.
The report also says that Taylor, along with it Ends
with US actors Jenny Slat and Isabella Ferrer, are included
in this witness list. If Swift is deposed, she'd be
sworn into answer questions under oath, and then whatever she
(22:40):
says would be recorded by a court reporter. Obviously, the
big thing here, all of this making its way to
the public, and we're not exactly sure what would be
asked or what Taylor would have to say, but she's
not usually one that likes to be real public on
things like that.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Well, and she's got such a huge legal team that
I would imagine she either will do it because she
wants to help her friend and things she can, or
she doesn't want to be a part of it in
any way, shape or form, and her lawyers will shut
it down and said Miss Swift has no recollection if
any of the events involved in this thing.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'll be interested with the subpoena. Carl Dean, Dolly Parton's
husband for more than half a century has passed away.
Dolly confirming the news last night, saying he passed yesterday
in Nashville at the age of eighty two. He is
going to be late to rest in a private ceremony
with only immediate family attending. Dolly writes, Carl and I
spent many wonderful years together and words cannot do justice
(23:30):
to the love we shared for over sixty years. Thank
you for your prayers and sympathy. While she did not
give a cause of death, Carl had been diagnosed with
Alzheimer's disease back in twenty nineteen. Hollywood and fans alike
reacting this morning, one user saying Dolly once said Carl
only ever saw her perform once in over sixty years together.
(23:51):
He loved her for her, not for the rhine stones.
While he's passed away at eighty two, their kind of
love never dies else, writing her love story with Carl
was one for the ages, and his memory will live
on in the beautiful life they built together. Not many
people deserved to be so happy together, but they absolutely did.
Dolly reportedly just very very crushed over this and working on,
(24:16):
you know, finding her way the best that she can.
His siblings are still alive, and she's just kind of
grasping the.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Family right now. Yeah, it's I'm sure it's going to
be difficult just because i mean, no children in all
that time together, you know, never decided to go that route.
And so really at this point in life, she said
she has his siblings that are left.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, he still has Sandra and Donnie.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
That's good. At least sixty years together, so I know.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Finally, fans very nervous as we continue to see some
odd social posting from Justin Bieber. In a new Instagram
video that he posted yesterday, he shares photos of what
looked like him smoking some kind of drug while sitting
on an e bike, and a lot of fans are
popping into that commons section, going hey, man, is everything okay?
(25:07):
Apparently he is on a getaway to Idaho where he's
ringing in his thirty first birthday. We did get a
couple of cute little like back of the headshots of
him and Haley Bieber's son six months old already Jack,
but nothing that shows his face and Haley's only in
a couple of them, you'll notice he was not at
any of the Oscar parties with Haley and fans are
(25:29):
just like man, oh man, get it together, One user writing,
aren't you in your thirties? This is a post a
fourteen year old would make man up and be a dad.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It does look pretty ridiculous. I mean he's in a hoodie,
riding a bike and with a big contraption.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
To smoking paraphernalias what we'll call it, some big paraphernalia
you probably wouldn't want to find, and maybe your kid's bedroom.
I've got all that up for you with your scoop
at West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Let's throw down Battle of this Sex is looking to
get you to Monster Jam kick it on Friday over
there at van Anelreena and running through the weekend.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah, it's gonna be so much fun. We have got
tickets for the whole fam. One hundred men surveyed. Name
an occupation that uses keys? Guys, look about these answers?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Now?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Was shocksh bitty because where's pianists? There's no pianist anywhere
on here who works with keys.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
More than sorry for a bad dad joke on a Tuesday, guys,
all right, six one, six, four, five eight, what oh
five seven. One hundred men surveyed name an occupation that
uses keys? Caller seven, You've got the number one answer,
and we are sending you to Monster Jam with Star
one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Good morning, Star. Who's this? Good morning? This is ann
And where are you calling from today?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Sparta?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Uh, you have just got to tell me. And when
a hundred guys were asked to name an occupation that
deals with keys, what if they say is their top
as janitor? A janitor. I'm surprised she didn't go with
you know, like a locksmith in there, or you know,
I said pianist. How about a computer specialist computer key
(27:02):
with that too? But you were wise and you went
with this stereotypical one because we all when we think
of a custodian, they got to have that giant ring
with four billion keys on it every single time. So
that's why it's the top way to go. Got Monster
Jam tickets? Aw come, I guess Monster Jam kicks off Friday,
rolling through Sunday. They're at Van Andel Loreena, going to
(27:24):
be a whole lot of fun and we're trying to
get your family tickets right now at West Michigan Star
dot com and another chance tomorrow at eight fifteen with
Battle of the Sexes. But no worries for you. You're
gonna be there this weekend. Congrats, great, thank you. I'm
on it to you. And there's always a conversation around
phone use and anxiety, and especially when it comes to
(27:44):
our young people, obviously, right, and so you know, they
talked to a bunch of gen Zers and gen Z
by and large has a phone strategy that they employ,
not sometimes, not when they're at work, not when they're
at school, you know, not when they're at church, but
all the time they just leave their phone on do
not disturb. Who No, And the reason being is that
(28:05):
while they're still constantly on their phones and checking them
every five seconds, just like the rest of us, it's
those alerts that come in that drive them insane and
give them all sorts of anxiety they can't deal with.
So they just believe it on do not disturb, but
they check their phone so often it doesn't negatively.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Instead of just turning the notifications off, I'd almost rather
do that, yeah, because you don't even see the notifications
come in when it's on do not disturb.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
So I thought that was interesting, but I feel like
we all have a setting that just digs its way
into our soul a little bit after a while, that
we have to remove for our lives, for our own
mental sanctity.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Right, Oh, I don't know. I've never done it, You've.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Never taken it off your phone. So one that I
had to do, one that I had to do a
long time ago before it even got here, was just
I can't get an alert every time I get an
email at work. I just get too many emails. I
check my email religiously, probably every thirty minutes, and I'm
always afraid about an email that I'm waiting for. So
I feel like it's already a part of my own
(29:02):
nervous energy. But I had to turn that off immediately
because it literally was making me insane.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah, I probably get I probably get about two hundred
fifty emails today.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, that sounds about right. I can't do two hundred
and fifty dings on that at all, Like that would
drive me absolutely insane. And my work email, that's the
one where I feel like I get a reasonable amount
of emails. Somebody who gets an alert every time their
Gmail or their Yahoo gets a new spam that tears
(29:31):
a folder or something. What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I don't think I have either one of those turned on.
I don't need to know. My Gmail is so overpacked.
I get an alert every month that says I'm going
to no longer receive emails because between that and my
Google Drive, I've been paying for storage, which makes me
just hate myself.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yeah, I can see that. What is there a specific
setting or phone noise that you just feel like bothers
you more than anything?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I think I'm just so deep into this thing. I
am ans or every Instagram comment immediately, every Instagram DM,
every TikTok, every Facebook.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
You're giving me the anxiety.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
I know because I've been pushed for almost twenty years
that social media is very important here and your algorithm
literally changes if you don't do those things us. So
I'm just sitting here like I'll probably die at fifty.
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
What is the phone setting that you just can't stand?
We do have it up on Facebook right now at
West Michigan.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Star some down does I get a good feeling?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Well, the glass is always half fault when you're here
feeling good? Right now in five point seven, I have got.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
To shout out an incredible thirteen year old that is
on quite a mission and bringing a spotlight to this
means that we can all help her out. Thirteen year
old Abby Jones lives in Grand Rapids, a middle school
student on a mission to raise one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars for the Mid Michigan Honor Flight, a group
it sends veterans to our nation's capital. Sat down with
(31:03):
Wood TV and Abby said that her passion behind this
project comes from family.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
I got interested because my family has a long line
of veterans. My uncle Johnny was in the army and
he struggled with PTSD and in twenty fifteen he ended
his struggle, and I didn't want the families to go
through what our family went through.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Unbelievably articulate for a thirteen year old, and she has
been working her booty off. She's been raising money going
around the state and parts of the country, asking people
to donate online and set up fundraisers. That one hundred
and twenty k would actually cover an entire flight to Washington, DC.
(31:46):
She said that this is a very big deal. She
came here to search for some more options, originally from
Oakland County. She knows how much our veterans mean over
in West Michigan as well, and check this out. She
actually got to go on an honor flight a couple
of years ago.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
The trip was really awesome. Honestly, a lot of the
veterans were closed off towards the beginning of the trip
and not talking to anybody except their chaperone. Was the end,
the veterans started to open up more and talk to
everybody and joke around and stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
So I am here to spread the word. If you
were interested in helping Abby in any way that you can,
you can email them info at mid Michigan Honor Flight
dot org. I'll put all this info up because I
just cannot believe a thirteen year old is able to
do this and understands the mission behind this for our veterans.
(32:36):
I thought it was just the coolest.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Thing this morning. Yeah, those honor flights are unbelievable, and
for a thirteen year old to have that kind of
perspective is believable. Like you said, all right, Tifinny, this
is just cool. I feel like every community goes through it.
The last video store closes, Schmitty. It was a family
video in my hometown of Voting Lake Michigan, and I
think it stayed open until just a little bit before
(32:58):
pre pandemic. How have in Pocatello, Idaho, the longtime videos
stop was their last rental store in town, and it
would have been a heartbreaking lass for Christina Kavanaugh is
a young woman, a longtime customer though with down syndrome,
and for over fifteen years, renting movies there at Video
Stuff has been important part of Christina's routine. And heard
(33:22):
her mom very worried about how she'd cope with the change,
And somebody who totally understood was the store's owner, David Creaning,
who decided he was going to keep a small section
of videos open and basically move a portion of his
video store into his adjacent general store that he had right.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
Next to it.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
And get this, they renamed the whole thing Christina's Corner.
So now people around town they all recognize that it's
this special spot that's for her, But lots of people
still go in to rent videos over there, and she
still got her favorite place that she's been frequenting for
fifteen years. Wow, love to see that her mother. I'm saying,
how can your heart not melt when you see people
(34:03):
in the community taking care of each other definitely a
message we're spreading for sure. That's what we try to
do each and every day. With feeling good coming at
you again tomorrow six forty five and nine twenty right
here on Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday,
starting at six am on Star one oh five point
seven
