Speaker 1 (00:01):
Wakem It gets my day going.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It makes me lab I love it. Mac and Schmitty
in the morning on Star one on five point seven. Well,
good morning, Schmitty, Good morning, welcome into your hump day.
Thanks for getting started right here is it's a pretty
warm way to start the day. I mean, we're already
into the little mid fifties around most of West Michigan.
Heihs today into the mid sixties. It'll actually look a
little nice, little windy early on before some clouds move
(00:28):
in and then we get some rain and some storms
possibly tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Schmitty, and then it'll snow tomorrow. Yep, welcome to it.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
I think it's so I get that we lived in
West Michigan for a very long time, but slightly rude
right that spring officially arrives at five oh one am
tomorrow and in the same breath, Matt Kirk, what's going
probably about.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
An inch of accumulation on the snow. So that's what
we're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, you know, the solstices I feel like should be
a little bit more official than they are, but they
don't really care. They don't seem to mind that we
have been dealing with one Yeah, five plus months a week.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It's the Celebrities group on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Well, if she ends up going through with this, I
think it will be very interesting for the implications in Hollywood.
Hailey Bieber is so fed up with the false narratives
and rumors that have been spreading about her online.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
She's exploring legal ways to fight back.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
For instance, there have been videos the past few weeks
showing her being quote a bully, a stalker. Just last week,
video making the rounds on TikTok alleged that she liked
a mean post about Selena Gomez's fiance Benny Blanco, and
now there is a seven part series on YouTube claiming
that she actually stalked Bieber and used her connections to
(01:46):
get him to be her husband. A source close with
Haley says she's sick and tired of these hateful stories.
She's been dogging them for years, trying to get out
of the spotlight with this, and now she said the
misinformation is costing her business. That's interesting because that could
be an actual monetary amount that you could go against
(02:09):
legally on Now she wants to explore the legal action
after looking at examples like Cardi b who won a
four million dollar defamation.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Judgment because of things exactly like this. So that'll be
very interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Especially when it comes to anybody who's trying to make
money off of the rumors. To me, that's where the
line gets drawn. People saying random crazy stuff on the internet.
Nothing to do there. When it comes to people making
money off of saying random crazy stuff on the air,
you're going.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
To getting paid for the clickbait. I think you've got
a bit of a case. Speaking of getting back to court.
A big update in the Ditty case as prosecutors are
revealing the names of the three allegend victims in Ditty's
federal indictment, but only for Ditty's attorneys to see. So
they started a couple of weeks ago when there was
a motion filed requesting the names of the three anonymous
(02:58):
accusers and witness is listed in the government's letter outlining
his racketeer and corruption charges. The judge did order the
attorney's office to hand over those names. Ditty's attorneys argue
they need every day possible to prepare for trial, that's why.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
They need these names.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
So pretty certain that victim one is his ex girlfriend Cassie,
especially because that specific indictment includes a reference to the
infamous hotel beating video. The defense says it believes the
two other alleged victims are also former girlfriends of Ditty's.
Of course, he's saying everything that happened between them was consensual. However,
remember there is still a gag order in this case,
(03:38):
so the victims' names might never be confirmed for the
public until the trial begins, and that's only if a
judge doesn't decide to make it an entirely closed courtroom
when they testify. Meanwhile, you remember my story on Monday
about Kanye dropping that song with Ditty and his daughter Northwest, Well,
we have pieces of the phone conversation that went down
(04:01):
between Diddy and Kanye giving half.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
On getting back on your have the get back.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You know that love and your hat man.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And annoying no man again, get out of Dadium. We
need to be back on at the day.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
It's interesting because the way did he makes it sound too.
He's kind of like, man, when I get out, when
I'm back out there, can't we see when I'm out?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
He seems pretty confident I was gonna say what.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It almost was like a role reversal, like Kanye was
the one who was in trouble or something and Dee
was and Diddy was giving him a pep do.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You're gonna be okay, man, You'll get back on that stage.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Finally, big announcement yesterday, Lollapalooza twenty twenty five is year
and headlining the event Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler the Creator, Sabrina
Carpenter and Luke Combs will also see a Sap Rocky
the K pop group twice. Other big names on the
bill Gracie Abrams, that'll be a good one, Doci Phineas,
(05:09):
who obviously does a ton of work with Billie Eilish,
and it's a ton of others. This is going to
go down July thirty first to August third, if you
feel like road tripping to Chicago's Grand Park.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
So last year, right was Chapel Rohan's yere where she
had like the largest crowd in Loma Palooza history. Who
does that this year?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Gracie Abrams, Doci Dochi, I think it's dough Chi.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
All right, all of your celeb scoop a West Michigan
start dot com.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, Now it's not the rain showers, it's not the
final piles of snow melting.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Those are not the signs of spring.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Anyone really looks forward to Smitty Instead, it's this feeling
good on starting O five points you have and Mack
and Schmitty with you, and it's back short and sweet today.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Frosty Boy is back open.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Oh yes, the most delicious signs that the weather is
warming up across West Michigan. Of course, the classic Grand
Rapids ice cream shop over there on Playing Field in
and Straight opening up yesterday at two pm for the
very first time of the seasons, and ice cream officionados
like Sam Randall, who was there with Wood TV eight,
definitely ready for it.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
To be back opening day.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
And I've been counting on the days so the season
will be open, the beginning of the best season spring.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I've waited probably like thirty minutes before. But it's worth it.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
It is worth it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
And that's what the crowd of kids, the huge line
of kids after school we're definitely thinking too, is they
hit up Frosty Boy and my kids. Their ears must
have been burning because they were actually asking me this,
when does ours open this weekend? Because they've got a
couple other locations in Lowell and then over in my
neck of the woods in Cascade, Well, good news, Lowell friends,
Yours opens today. Frosty and Lowell opening today. And for
(06:56):
my neck of the woods over there in Cascade, well
we got to wait another week. Not going to happen
until next Wednesday over there, so just a little bit longer.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
All right, kids are cute, but I want the pups,
and there are pup cups at the Frosty Boys, so
if you want to see those pictures. West Michigan Star
dot Com, I've got a shout out. The incredible students
at Western Michigan University's campus radio station WIDR just named

twenty five Intercollegiate Broadcasting System Awards. You guys, we get
really excited about this because it's just awesome to see

blog post. He said this was a total team effort
(07:47):
from every individual who makes eighty nine point one WIDR
so unique and so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I am just so excited to be part of this wonderful.

getting better. So you guys, keep it going and then
come talk to us at ihearted graduation, because you look

of Grand Rapids, on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Seven Port Battle that is it ends with us. Ryan
Reynolds is asking a judge to let him out of
the legal process between Justin Baldoni, director and co star
in the movie, and Blake Lively, and he decided to
take some shots at Baldoni in the process. Legal documents
that were just filed yesterday claimed Baldoni took his quote
(09:00):
thin skinned outrage over a movie character and decided to
go after Ryan in court. We assume Ryan is talking
about that reference to the satirical nice Pool character from
his new Deadpool movie, which Justin thought was an obvious
shot at him. Reynolds also says Baldoni's lawsuit will not
hould up in court. He says him referring to Baldoni
(09:21):
as a predator is constitutionally protected opinion, and even if
it turns out not to be, it's substantially true. He
rips Baldoni's lawsuit as essentially a burn book, claiming Justin
is simply trying to shame Ryan for sticking up for
his wife. He's asking for all claims to be dismissed
(09:44):
against him without with prejudice. Excuse me, so it cannot
be filed again.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I like that, he said, burn book as.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Mel Gibson may have emerged as a very popular Republican
candidate to run for California governor, and while he appreciates
the confidence voters seem to have in him, there's absolutely
no way he's running. So a source close to Mel
says he's very flattered to have done really well in
a recent straw pole that made him the top Republican
(10:18):
candidate for governor. But despite those good numbers, it's just
not happening. Mel has never had any kind of political ambitions.
That is not changing now. He simply will continue to
act as that Hollywood special ambassador for the Trump administration.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Can you imagine, though, he could just go up there
and give the speech from Braveheart, You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
He could never never seen it, but I hear it's very.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Passionate, never take our freedom.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Finally, everyone obviously super excited about the surprise that a
fourth season of ted Lasso will be coming to Apple
TV Plus, but we're learning some more about casting, and
it looks like Gus Turner, who played Jason sudeikas his
off on screen son Henry, will be invited to re
audition for the role, but it requires an elevated level
(11:08):
of soccer proficiency, so we're starting to get a few
hints at what the plot lines might be looking like.
The British American eleven year old did portray Henry in
eleven episodes, but will have to re audition as producers
have said. Meanwhile, Andrea Anders, who played Henry's mom Michelle,
is also maybe in talks but unclear if she's coming
(11:28):
back as well, but we do know. Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Wattingham,
Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift have all been confirmed, while
Juno Temple, who played Kiely, is still in negotiations for
the fourth season.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I bet you that kid who played his son is
literally got soccer practice around on that.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I'm not getting out of ted Lazo.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
All right, all of your celebscoo, but West Michigan startup.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Coome morning to you. It's back in Schmidty.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
You're off to your job most likely, and your friends
off to theirs.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Do you have any clue with her?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
What are they?
Speaker 7 (11:58):
Right?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
So, I've had this moment happened to me twice in
the last like week and a half, and I talked
about it. Reminded me of that scene in Friends, because
an ongoing storyline is that nobody knows what Chandler does
for a living.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
What is Chandler's job.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
With numbers and processing? Well, Harry's a brief days.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You need to lose the game.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Transpunding trans funds trans foodster.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I studied. I don't worry.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Okay, So honestly, if you had to go through your
group of friends and tell me what they do for
a living, could you do.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
It for only a few of them? Yep, only a
few of them.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Because I got guys who like when they work in
the tech industry that like, after a certain point, you've
just gone beyond me, I'm out of it.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
So I don't even know that about a lot of
my friends. I think our jobs are easy. People are like, oh,
Schmidty works for iHeart usually, but like last night, I
got this really cool experience to tour the Children's Healing Center.
If you've never heard of it, it is the first
year round facility in the country that provides a place
for immunal compromised kids to play.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
In a completely clean environment. It's absolutely stunning.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
And one of my very best friends volunteers her time
there and serves on their board. So they were giving
us a tour of their new facility on the belt Line,
and watching her in action was so cool because I
knew she was a child life specialist, I didn't know
she did this. And then last week I was in
Detroit and I got to see another one of my
friends on a zoom call with his office, and I like,
(13:42):
got he got done?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
He said, what I go?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I just don't.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I don't know what you do you work in real life.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
And it's so hysterical because I'm looking through my group
of friends and I could tell you, like a couple
of them.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Work in healthcare.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
And I know one of my friends does something for
Grand Valley, But I think.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It's really weird.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Am I the only one that just you don't actually
know what your best friends do for work.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I don't even know what my wife does for work.
She lives at she works at home, and she got
this new job after getting a master's degree in information
design or something like that.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
No idea was instructional design.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Excuse me, instructional design, seeing all those weird modules like
we have to take like our sexual harassment training. So
she builds those, but she does them for a gaming
company out of Las Vegas. And so literally yesterday I
come downstairs after getting home from work to hear my
wife recording something into her whole setup and she goes
introduction to bingo.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And I just started laughing, and I'm like, what is
it that you're.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Doing all day long and she's like, well, I'm starting
a video on how this bingo slot machine has to
be run in casinos all over.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
The country, Like I wouldn't even think that was a job.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Like I'm just curious, honestly, could you go through your
group of friends and name every single thing that person does?
Or are you just like this? Because the worst is
when we were trying to introduce people last night and
they're like, what do you do?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
And you go and then you look at your friend.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
You're like, you do big things, right, what do you
What would you say, you dude?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
What doesn't she do? That's right?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I want to six one six, four five eight one
oh five seven, Or maybe you've got a friend that's
got the weirdest job in the world and you can
explain it to us. I just want to know if
I'm alone in this. Are we all just out here
going they got a job? I mean, they're paying their bills,
doing great hit us have been our talk back as
well on our iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Good Morning Too, It's Mack and Schmiddy.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
On Wednesdays, we just keep it honest with you as
parents and drop another Betty. Last Friday night, it was
our Daddy daughter dance. This is our third one. This
is the last one that technically she's allowed to go
to with this same one that happens each year over
at Frederick Garden. It's really really cool. We have a
lot of fun. But I think a lot of dads
(16:04):
can relate to this dancing, especially while completely silver, it's not.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Exactly my favorite thing to do.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I really dads aren't great with that.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I'm just saying, but it's not about me, and I
recognize that. However, when it came time to go out
to dinner, my daughter chose her favorite spot, the place
she wanted to go every year that we did this.
There's a melting pod over there at NAB's Corner. So
if you haven't done in the melting pot, it's fond due.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
So everything you cook, you cook it either like on
a little grill or in some sauce or in cheese,
whatever it is. Well, our reservation was for a little
before six o'clock, smitty, and I gotta tell you that
is one slow process going through that entire extravaganza. And
when it got to be seven o'clock, which is what
time the dance started, Oh, dear, and on my head,
(16:51):
I'm thinking like, oh, we got to get to the dance.
But wait, the longer we stay here, the less time
I have to spend on the dance floor.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
You did not out there.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I didn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
My daughter was having a great time doing just what
you want to dip in her steak and cheese and
whatever else we had on there.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
And it got to be like seven thirty seven thirty five,
and I'm like, we gotta go, all right, at some
point we got to get there. Anyway, I wound up
skipping the entire first hour basically of the daddy daughter dance.
And the only thing that made me feel better about it, Betty,
was that there are probably four or five other groups
of dads at the restaurant doing the exact.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Same thing, movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
It's the celebrity scoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Man, we can all feel for Tracy Morgan on this.
The SNL alum has given exactly what caused that cute
problem on the sidelines at Madison Square Garden Monday night
during the Knicks game.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
It was food poisoning.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
The story yesterday the comedian suddenly started projectile vomiting all
over the floor during the Knicks versus Heat game. Who's
actually taken out in a wheelchair. He wrote on Instagram,
thank you all for your concern. With a picture from
the hospital, he said, I'm doing okay now, doctor say
was food poisoning. I appreciate my MSG family for taking
(18:20):
such good care of me, and I need to shout
out the crew that had to clean that up.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Really appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Oh, I'm just throwing this out there.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I want to know whether or not he got it
at Madison Square Garden and whether or not he plans
to do something about it. Like I'm just wondering because
it was so public that dude has been shown vomiting
on television all over the internet for twenty I know.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
I gotta tell you, as someone that's had food poisoning
quite a number of times, I'm not sure it happens
that fast, like if he got there, I mean they
were towards the beginning of the game.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
But it's pretty terrible, man, And I really really.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Feel for you, because when your body needs to get
that needs to get rid of it immediately. Exercised demons
Ellen Pompeio revealed that one of the biggest and more
intimate scenes on Gray's Anatomy was a total nightmare, and
if you've seen it, those tears were real. Ellen was
on yesterday's episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast where
(19:19):
she discussed a scene between her and t r Night,
and she said, this was so hard because the two
of them are so close in real life.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Tire and I are such good friends, and we had
to do a love scene and we were both crying.
We cried, and the scene was so uncomfortable and awkward,
and he didn't want to do that. I didn't want
to do it, And when we filmed it, it was so bad.
And then the network said, there was too much in
your worst nightmare to have to do it one time.
(19:50):
We had to reshoot that. No, we had to reshoot
it and do it twice. No.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Yeah, So, if you can remember, this is from season
two where Meredith and George hook up for the first
time and then she realizes it was a mistake. They're
better as friends. They're both crying, and they're crying because
it was so uncomfortable to do because they're best friends.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Well, that's emotion, that's not the emotion you are necessarily.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Finally, even Hollywood has to deal with parenting dilemmas, just
as Dex Shepherd. On the newest episode of his Armchair
Expert podcast, he talked about a recent conversation he had
with his ten year old daughter about the Sabrina Carpenter
song Juno. She absolutely loves the album. He said that
they listened to it while they're own on the way
(20:33):
to school. If you're not aware, it's based on the
movie I Think from twenty fourteen, about a high schooler
that gets pregnant, and he said, we've never tried to
shy away from mature topics, but we also realize sometimes
our kids view things much differently.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
Yeah, I understands a little more as this. Then, and
she goes, but do you know what Juno is? And
I go no, and she's like, well, it's a movie, like, oh,
the movie Juno. Yes, I know. She goes, yeah, she said,
I want you to make me Juno because it's a
story about a girl who gets pregnant. Yeah, And I
go yeah, I go ooh, that's a little that's a
(21:08):
little nasty, racy, And she goes, what's nasty about wanting
to have a baby with somebody, and I go, well,
it's a teenager. She's in high school. And she goes, oh,
she's in high school, so she knew part of the
juno she was in high school.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I thought it was romantic.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Yes, So if you've heard the Sabrina Carpenter song, you
know that it is a little risque. And apparently Dax's
daughter just thought it was all about being a good mom.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
So my daughter is twelve and likes Sabrina Carpenter and
it started listening to the Short and Sweet album as
when I saw this story yesterday, I immediately, as a dad,
went and listened to the whole song Rebby yesterday and
I was like, maybe this whole album is something that
I just have to be like, Nah, I don't know
if this is.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
I think it would have a parental advice really, Alon,
it was coming out in our day, I mean, God,

Would say a parking meter.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
That's the only kind of meter I've never you would

Speaker 2 (23:07):

Oh wow, that's horrible.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Alexis. Brandon just gave me a guest. But one hundred
guys were asked to name a kind of meter. He
said the same thing I was thinking, which was a
parking meter, which was actually the number four most common answer.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So you got a chance here. What do you think
it is, Alexis?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I think it's a water meter.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Ooh, the water meter. You know how many times as
a homeowner I have checked my water meter?
Speaker 6 (23:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I'm a homeowner and I've never checked mine.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Okay, that makes me feel a lot better.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I've never checked it one single time, which makes me
wonder why so many guys are thinking about it, Because
it's the top answer. Way to go, Oh seriously. One
it was water, followed by gas, then electric meter and
parking meter, rounding out those top answers. Alexis, you're going
to our Grand Rapids, Griffins. See, maybe just go and
(24:11):
check your water meter when you get home, just to
say thank you for this.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Okay, I'm going to you and me both congrats. We'll
do it again tomorrow. Battle of the.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Sexes each Weekday eight fifteen here on Starlen a Flound
Points Stalling a found Points Sea. Have a good morning
to you. Welcome into your Wednesday. It's Mack and Schmidty.
And you know we share stories about people just doing
nice things all the time, feeling good every day six
forty five and nine to twenty Schmidty.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
But this one I wanted to talk.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
About because it was just so out of left field
and such a sweet thing to have had happened to
me last Friday night. I mentioned earlier in parent Confession,
the Daddy Daughter dance Window. And you know when you
go to these things, you get all dialed up. Everybody's
you know, almost like a formal, like a homecoming kind
of style thing. And so each year I do a cassage,
right and flowers and all that good stuff. Well, this
(25:00):
year Friday was a super busy day for me. I
was running way late. It was already after five point thirty.
We were supposed to be a dinner by like six,
and I'm on my way home and I still have
to stop and get this parsage. And I actually went
to Daylily Floral in Cascade. It's just off Cascade right
now at the corner of twenty eighth Street, and I
walk in and actually see a different customer walk out
with a carsage and I'm like, boom, sweet, they must
(25:22):
have a lot of them because of this doggie daughter dance.
And I walk in and there's only one person working in,
this woman behind the counter, and I said, I need
one of those. That lady just said, I need a
carssage and she goes, oh, I am so sorry, but
that was our very last one. And I was like, oh,
you don't have any other ones. I was like, I
don't you know what can we do? And she's like,
(25:44):
I'm really sorry, but that's it. That's all we have. Said, Okay,
you know what are you gonna do? So I start
to walk out and she goes, hang on a second,
and she goes, I have never made a carssage before.
I'm not the person who normally makes them. You know,
I'm just working the register at tonight as we get
ready to close in a little why here she goes,
but if you want, I'll try and make one for
(26:04):
you real quick.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Cute, and I was like, that's unbelievable. I'm like absolutely,
I mean, I got no other choice. I was just
gonna say scrap it.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
And say sorry, honey, no cassages here and just not
even bring it up.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
But instead she goes.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Back there and she whips up this beautiful rose caissage.
But I'm not even kidd it took her like five
minutes tops. And then she comes over and I'm like, oh,
thank you so much. I'm like, how much is it?
And she goes, well, I actually just put it together
out of scraps from other bouquets. And since you know
I'm not the person who normally does this, uh just
take it. It's on the house. I said, absolutely not.
(26:37):
I gotta pay. I gotta pay for this for you.
And she's like no, And then I try to get
her like cash just for doing it, and she's like,
I'm really sorry, but I have a great time with
your daughter tonight.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
This is so West Michigan, so Western Michigan.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
So Marci at day Lily Floral in Cascade goes out
of her way to help a complete stranger, and I didn't,
you know, I didn't ask her. She literally called me
back just to do something nice when she didn't have
to at all.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Did you get a picture, because also Marsie. It looks
like you're gonna be making corsages.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Now, girl, no kidding. I put this actually of her.
It's on our Facebook page right now. You can actually
see me giving my daughter the beautiful prissage and a
picture of Marci. So go in there and say hi
to word too, but don't ask her for a free cressage.
I'm pretty sure they don't want to do it. Really nice,
it's really super nice. Off your so giant thank you
And if you've had somebody just do something incredibly nice
for you as a stranger, tell us about it Facebook
(27:28):
and Instagram.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
At West Michigan.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Star sometime because I get a good feeling, well let's
put a little positivity into your Wednesday morning.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Get you over the hum shall we feeling good? On
Starbino five point seven? What's happen man?
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Man?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
It's short and deliciously sweet.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
We talked earlier about Frosty Boy and Absolute Staple in
Grand Rapids having their big opening day yesterday. Well leave
it to Chef Jenna and Food Hugs to be out
there surprising people with free ice cream. She gave a
big shout out to the incredible local business, saying the
staff was amazing and so fast at getting over two
(28:08):
hundred people through the line and under an hour. My
cheek's hurt from smiling. We just love supporting our awesome
local businesses and that's why we love you, Chef Jenna.
Pictures are super cute, including some of those pups getting
their pup cups open them on our Instagram at West
Michigan Star.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
All right, ch Betty Over on the east side of
the state.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
It was a random active kindness that caught an entire
family off guard.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
As in Whyan Dons.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Donnie Hanson he's a real estate agent over there and
he was busy with work and just driving home on
Monday when he happened to notice something hanging out in
the road that he wanted to go ahead and address.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He said it looked like a wallet.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
I was on seventeenth Street seen it in the middle
of the road and I was thinking, was, Oh, someone had.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
A great Saint Patrick's day.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I can't believe that this is just lying in the
middle of the road on the id.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
And I was like, you know what, yeh gotta get
this back, yep, got to get this back.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
And actually it was because he said he's lost a
wallet a couple of times himself, and nobody ever bothered
to return it. This one, though, filled with all sorts
of cash as well as credit cards and personal information.
But Donnie grabbed that address and immediately went to the
home that was on there where Michelle Johnson was home,
and she just said she saw some random guy standing
(29:26):
on her doorstep holding what looked like a wallet. Well,
it turns out it was actually her son's wallet, who
had been home from being to college at U of M.
Dearborn and had lost it while running some errands on
Saint Patrick's day. And she was just taken aback that
somebody would take the time to return this wallet, not
only give it back, but return it with all of
its contents, including over one hundred dollars in cash that
(29:50):
her son made working over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
He had held up a wallet into our camera. On
this wallet, I almost cry. I know that sounds silly,
but it was nice.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Those small acts of kindness really truly make a difference
in the world.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Well, they certainly do, And just another one to highlight
right there. With feeling good, which we do for you
every day.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Always want to make.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Sure we're bringing some positivity to up, Let's do it
tomorrow six forty five and nine twenty here on Star
Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six
am on Star one oh five point seven
Wakem It gets my day going.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It makes me lab I love it. Mac and Schmitty
in the morning on Star one on five point seven. Well,
good morning, Schmitty, Good morning, welcome into your hump day.
Thanks for getting started right here is it's a pretty
warm way to start the day. I mean, we're already
into the little mid fifties around most of West Michigan.
Heihs today into the mid sixties. It'll actually look a
little nice, little windy early on before some clouds move
(00:28):
in and then we get some rain and some storms
possibly tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Schmitty, and then it'll snow tomorrow. Yep, welcome to it.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
I think it's so I get that we lived in
West Michigan for a very long time, but slightly rude
right that spring officially arrives at five oh one am
tomorrow and in the same breath, Matt Kirk, what's going
probably about.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
An inch of accumulation on the snow. So that's what
we're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, you know, the solstices I feel like should be
a little bit more official than they are, but they
don't really care. They don't seem to mind that we
have been dealing with one Yeah, five plus months a week.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It's the Celebrities group on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Well, if she ends up going through with this, I
think it will be very interesting for the implications in Hollywood.
Hailey Bieber is so fed up with the false narratives
and rumors that have been spreading about her online.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
She's exploring legal ways to fight back.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
For instance, there have been videos the past few weeks
showing her being quote a bully, a stalker. Just last week,
video making the rounds on TikTok alleged that she liked
a mean post about Selena Gomez's fiance Benny Blanco, and
now there is a seven part series on YouTube claiming
that she actually stalked Bieber and used her connections to
(01:46):
get him to be her husband. A source close with
Haley says she's sick and tired of these hateful stories.
She's been dogging them for years, trying to get out
of the spotlight with this, and now she said the
misinformation is costing her business. That's interesting because that could
be an actual monetary amount that you could go against
(02:09):
legally on Now she wants to explore the legal action
after looking at examples like Cardi b who won a
four million dollar defamation.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Judgment because of things exactly like this. So that'll be
very interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Especially when it comes to anybody who's trying to make
money off of the rumors. To me, that's where the
line gets drawn. People saying random crazy stuff on the internet.
Nothing to do there. When it comes to people making
money off of saying random crazy stuff on the air,
you're going.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
To getting paid for the clickbait. I think you've got
a bit of a case. Speaking of getting back to court.
A big update in the Ditty case as prosecutors are
revealing the names of the three allegend victims in Ditty's
federal indictment, but only for Ditty's attorneys to see. So
they started a couple of weeks ago when there was
a motion filed requesting the names of the three anonymous
(02:58):
accusers and witness is listed in the government's letter outlining
his racketeer and corruption charges. The judge did order the
attorney's office to hand over those names. Ditty's attorneys argue
they need every day possible to prepare for trial, that's why.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
They need these names.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
So pretty certain that victim one is his ex girlfriend Cassie,
especially because that specific indictment includes a reference to the
infamous hotel beating video. The defense says it believes the
two other alleged victims are also former girlfriends of Ditty's.
Of course, he's saying everything that happened between them was consensual. However,
remember there is still a gag order in this case,
(03:38):
so the victims' names might never be confirmed for the
public until the trial begins, and that's only if a
judge doesn't decide to make it an entirely closed courtroom
when they testify. Meanwhile, you remember my story on Monday
about Kanye dropping that song with Ditty and his daughter Northwest, Well,
we have pieces of the phone conversation that went down
(04:01):
between Diddy and Kanye giving half.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
On getting back on your have the get back.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You know that love and your hat man.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And annoying no man again, get out of Dadium. We
need to be back on at the day.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
It's interesting because the way did he makes it sound too.
He's kind of like, man, when I get out, when
I'm back out there, can't we see when I'm out?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
He seems pretty confident I was gonna say what.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It almost was like a role reversal, like Kanye was
the one who was in trouble or something and Dee
was and Diddy was giving him a pep do.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You're gonna be okay, man, You'll get back on that stage.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Finally, big announcement yesterday, Lollapalooza twenty twenty five is year
and headlining the event Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler the Creator, Sabrina
Carpenter and Luke Combs will also see a Sap Rocky
the K pop group twice. Other big names on the
bill Gracie Abrams, that'll be a good one, Doci Phineas,
(05:09):
who obviously does a ton of work with Billie Eilish,
and it's a ton of others. This is going to
go down July thirty first to August third, if you
feel like road tripping to Chicago's Grand Park.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
So last year, right was Chapel Rohan's yere where she
had like the largest crowd in Loma Palooza history. Who
does that this year?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Gracie Abrams, Doci Dochi, I think it's dough Chi.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
All right, all of your celeb scoop a West Michigan
start dot com.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, Now it's not the rain showers, it's not the
final piles of snow melting.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Those are not the signs of spring.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Anyone really looks forward to Smitty Instead, it's this feeling
good on starting O five points you have and Mack
and Schmitty with you, and it's back short and sweet today.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Frosty Boy is back open.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Oh yes, the most delicious signs that the weather is
warming up across West Michigan. Of course, the classic Grand
Rapids ice cream shop over there on Playing Field in
and Straight opening up yesterday at two pm for the
very first time of the seasons, and ice cream officionados
like Sam Randall, who was there with Wood TV eight,
definitely ready for it.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
To be back opening day.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
And I've been counting on the days so the season
will be open, the beginning of the best season spring.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I've waited probably like thirty minutes before. But it's worth it.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
It is worth it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
And that's what the crowd of kids, the huge line
of kids after school we're definitely thinking too, is they
hit up Frosty Boy and my kids. Their ears must
have been burning because they were actually asking me this,
when does ours open this weekend? Because they've got a
couple other locations in Lowell and then over in my
neck of the woods in Cascade, Well, good news, Lowell friends,
Yours opens today. Frosty and Lowell opening today. And for
(06:56):
my neck of the woods over there in Cascade, well
we got to wait another week. Not going to happen
until next Wednesday over there, so just a little bit longer.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
All right, kids are cute, but I want the pups,
and there are pup cups at the Frosty Boys, so
if you want to see those pictures. West Michigan Star
dot Com, I've got a shout out. The incredible students
at Western Michigan University's campus radio station WIDR just named
the best overall station at the twenty twenty four to
(07:24):
twenty five Intercollegiate Broadcasting System Awards. You guys, we get
really excited about this because it's just awesome to see
the next generation get so passionate about radio. Kulli Cooper
is the GM for the student run station at WMU,
giving the entire staff some serious recognition and a university
blog post. He said this was a total team effort
(07:47):
from every individual who makes eighty nine point one WIDR
so unique and so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I am just so excited to be part of this wonderful.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Team and know that being named the top college station
and the nation will only motivate us to just keep
getting better. So you guys, keep it going and then
come talk to us at ihearted graduation, because you look
pretty phenomenal to be the best college station in the
entire country, that's.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
A big deal.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Feeling good, Kevin asie a couple of times a day
to share great things going on out there, especially when
they're in our backyard.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
We'll do it again for this morning, coming up at
nine o'clock Mack and Schmidt. He's feeling good.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Open your day with positivity powered by Overhead Door Company
of Grand Rapids, on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Seven Port Battle that is it ends with us. Ryan
Reynolds is asking a judge to let him out of
the legal process between Justin Baldoni, director and co star
in the movie, and Blake Lively, and he decided to
take some shots at Baldoni in the process. Legal documents
that were just filed yesterday claimed Baldoni took his quote
(09:00):
thin skinned outrage over a movie character and decided to
go after Ryan in court. We assume Ryan is talking
about that reference to the satirical nice Pool character from
his new Deadpool movie, which Justin thought was an obvious
shot at him. Reynolds also says Baldoni's lawsuit will not
hould up in court. He says him referring to Baldoni
(09:21):
as a predator is constitutionally protected opinion, and even if
it turns out not to be, it's substantially true. He
rips Baldoni's lawsuit as essentially a burn book, claiming Justin
is simply trying to shame Ryan for sticking up for
his wife. He's asking for all claims to be dismissed
(09:44):
against him without with prejudice. Excuse me, so it cannot
be filed again.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I like that, he said, burn book as.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Mel Gibson may have emerged as a very popular Republican
candidate to run for California governor, and while he appreciates
the confidence voters seem to have in him, there's absolutely
no way he's running. So a source close to Mel
says he's very flattered to have done really well in
a recent straw pole that made him the top Republican
(10:18):
candidate for governor. But despite those good numbers, it's just
not happening. Mel has never had any kind of political ambitions.
That is not changing now. He simply will continue to
act as that Hollywood special ambassador for the Trump administration.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Can you imagine, though, he could just go up there
and give the speech from Braveheart, You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
He could never never seen it, but I hear it's very.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Passionate, never take our freedom.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Finally, everyone obviously super excited about the surprise that a
fourth season of ted Lasso will be coming to Apple
TV Plus, but we're learning some more about casting, and
it looks like Gus Turner, who played Jason sudeikas his
off on screen son Henry, will be invited to re
audition for the role, but it requires an elevated level
(11:08):
of soccer proficiency, so we're starting to get a few
hints at what the plot lines might be looking like.
The British American eleven year old did portray Henry in
eleven episodes, but will have to re audition as producers
have said. Meanwhile, Andrea Anders, who played Henry's mom Michelle,
is also maybe in talks but unclear if she's coming
(11:28):
back as well, but we do know. Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Wattingham,
Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift have all been confirmed, while
Juno Temple, who played Kiely, is still in negotiations for
the fourth season.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I bet you that kid who played his son is
literally got soccer practice around on that.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I'm not getting out of ted Lazo.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
All right, all of your celebscoo, but West Michigan startup.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Coome morning to you. It's back in Schmidty.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
You're off to your job most likely, and your friends
off to theirs.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Do you have any clue with her?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
What are they?
Speaker 7 (11:58):
Right?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
So, I've had this moment happened to me twice in
the last like week and a half, and I talked
about it. Reminded me of that scene in Friends, because
an ongoing storyline is that nobody knows what Chandler does
for a living.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
What is Chandler's job.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
With numbers and processing? Well, Harry's a brief days.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You need to lose the game.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Transpunding trans funds trans foodster.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I studied. I don't worry.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Okay, So honestly, if you had to go through your
group of friends and tell me what they do for
a living, could you do.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
It for only a few of them? Yep, only a
few of them.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Because I got guys who like when they work in
the tech industry that like, after a certain point, you've
just gone beyond me, I'm out of it.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
So I don't even know that about a lot of
my friends. I think our jobs are easy. People are like, oh,
Schmidty works for iHeart usually, but like last night, I
got this really cool experience to tour the Children's Healing Center.
If you've never heard of it, it is the first
year round facility in the country that provides a place
for immunal compromised kids to play.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
In a completely clean environment. It's absolutely stunning.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
And one of my very best friends volunteers her time
there and serves on their board. So they were giving
us a tour of their new facility on the belt Line,
and watching her in action was so cool because I
knew she was a child life specialist, I didn't know
she did this. And then last week I was in
Detroit and I got to see another one of my
friends on a zoom call with his office, and I like,
(13:42):
got he got done?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
He said, what I go?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I just don't.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I don't know what you do you work in real life.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
And it's so hysterical because I'm looking through my group
of friends and I could tell you, like a couple
of them.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Work in healthcare.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
And I know one of my friends does something for
Grand Valley, But I think.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It's really weird.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Am I the only one that just you don't actually
know what your best friends do for work.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I don't even know what my wife does for work.
She lives at she works at home, and she got
this new job after getting a master's degree in information
design or something like that.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
No idea was instructional design.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Excuse me, instructional design, seeing all those weird modules like
we have to take like our sexual harassment training. So
she builds those, but she does them for a gaming
company out of Las Vegas. And so literally yesterday I
come downstairs after getting home from work to hear my
wife recording something into her whole setup and she goes
introduction to bingo.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And I just started laughing, and I'm like, what is
it that you're.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Doing all day long and she's like, well, I'm starting
a video on how this bingo slot machine has to
be run in casinos all over.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
The country, Like I wouldn't even think that was a job.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Like I'm just curious, honestly, could you go through your
group of friends and name every single thing that person does?
Or are you just like this? Because the worst is
when we were trying to introduce people last night and
they're like, what do you do?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
And you go and then you look at your friend.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
You're like, you do big things, right, what do you
What would you say, you dude?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
What doesn't she do? That's right?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I want to six one six, four five eight one
oh five seven, Or maybe you've got a friend that's
got the weirdest job in the world and you can
explain it to us. I just want to know if
I'm alone in this. Are we all just out here
going they got a job? I mean, they're paying their bills,
doing great hit us have been our talk back as
well on our iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Good Morning Too, It's Mack and Schmiddy.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
On Wednesdays, we just keep it honest with you as
parents and drop another Betty. Last Friday night, it was
our Daddy daughter dance. This is our third one. This
is the last one that technically she's allowed to go
to with this same one that happens each year over
at Frederick Garden. It's really really cool. We have a
lot of fun. But I think a lot of dads
(16:04):
can relate to this dancing, especially while completely silver, it's not.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Exactly my favorite thing to do.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I really dads aren't great with that.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I'm just saying, but it's not about me, and I
recognize that. However, when it came time to go out
to dinner, my daughter chose her favorite spot, the place
she wanted to go every year that we did this.
There's a melting pod over there at NAB's Corner. So
if you haven't done in the melting pot, it's fond due.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
So everything you cook, you cook it either like on
a little grill or in some sauce or in cheese,
whatever it is. Well, our reservation was for a little
before six o'clock, smitty, and I gotta tell you that
is one slow process going through that entire extravaganza. And
when it got to be seven o'clock, which is what
time the dance started, Oh, dear, and on my head,
(16:51):
I'm thinking like, oh, we got to get to the dance.
But wait, the longer we stay here, the less time
I have to spend on the dance floor.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
You did not out there.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I didn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
My daughter was having a great time doing just what
you want to dip in her steak and cheese and
whatever else we had on there.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
And it got to be like seven thirty seven thirty five,
and I'm like, we gotta go, all right, at some
point we got to get there. Anyway, I wound up
skipping the entire first hour basically of the daddy daughter dance.
And the only thing that made me feel better about it, Betty,
was that there are probably four or five other groups
of dads at the restaurant doing the exact.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Same thing, movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
It's the celebrity scoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Man, we can all feel for Tracy Morgan on this.
The SNL alum has given exactly what caused that cute
problem on the sidelines at Madison Square Garden Monday night
during the Knicks game.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
It was food poisoning.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
The story yesterday the comedian suddenly started projectile vomiting all
over the floor during the Knicks versus Heat game. Who's
actually taken out in a wheelchair. He wrote on Instagram,
thank you all for your concern. With a picture from
the hospital, he said, I'm doing okay now, doctor say
was food poisoning. I appreciate my MSG family for taking
(18:20):
such good care of me, and I need to shout
out the crew that had to clean that up.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Really appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Oh, I'm just throwing this out there.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I want to know whether or not he got it
at Madison Square Garden and whether or not he plans
to do something about it. Like I'm just wondering because
it was so public that dude has been shown vomiting
on television all over the internet for twenty I know.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
I gotta tell you, as someone that's had food poisoning
quite a number of times, I'm not sure it happens
that fast, like if he got there, I mean they
were towards the beginning of the game.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
But it's pretty terrible, man, And I really really.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Feel for you, because when your body needs to get
that needs to get rid of it immediately. Exercised demons
Ellen Pompeio revealed that one of the biggest and more
intimate scenes on Gray's Anatomy was a total nightmare, and
if you've seen it, those tears were real. Ellen was
on yesterday's episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast where
(19:19):
she discussed a scene between her and t r Night,
and she said, this was so hard because the two
of them are so close in real life.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Tire and I are such good friends, and we had
to do a love scene and we were both crying.
We cried, and the scene was so uncomfortable and awkward,
and he didn't want to do that. I didn't want
to do it, And when we filmed it, it was so bad.
And then the network said, there was too much in
your worst nightmare to have to do it one time.
(19:50):
We had to reshoot that. No, we had to reshoot
it and do it twice. No.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Yeah, So, if you can remember, this is from season
two where Meredith and George hook up for the first
time and then she realizes it was a mistake. They're
better as friends. They're both crying, and they're crying because
it was so uncomfortable to do because they're best friends.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Well, that's emotion, that's not the emotion you are necessarily.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Finally, even Hollywood has to deal with parenting dilemmas, just
as Dex Shepherd. On the newest episode of his Armchair
Expert podcast, he talked about a recent conversation he had
with his ten year old daughter about the Sabrina Carpenter
song Juno. She absolutely loves the album. He said that
they listened to it while they're own on the way
(20:33):
to school. If you're not aware, it's based on the
movie I Think from twenty fourteen, about a high schooler
that gets pregnant, and he said, we've never tried to
shy away from mature topics, but we also realize sometimes
our kids view things much differently.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
Yeah, I understands a little more as this. Then, and
she goes, but do you know what Juno is? And
I go no, and she's like, well, it's a movie, like, oh,
the movie Juno. Yes, I know. She goes, yeah, she said,
I want you to make me Juno because it's a
story about a girl who gets pregnant. Yeah, And I
go yeah, I go ooh, that's a little that's a
(21:08):
little nasty, racy, And she goes, what's nasty about wanting
to have a baby with somebody, and I go, well,
it's a teenager. She's in high school. And she goes, oh,
she's in high school, so she knew part of the
juno she was in high school.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I thought it was romantic.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Yes, So if you've heard the Sabrina Carpenter song, you
know that it is a little risque. And apparently Dax's
daughter just thought it was all about being a good mom.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
So my daughter is twelve and likes Sabrina Carpenter and
it started listening to the Short and Sweet album as
when I saw this story yesterday, I immediately, as a dad,
went and listened to the whole song Rebby yesterday and
I was like, maybe this whole album is something that
I just have to be like, Nah, I don't know
if this is.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
I think it would have a parental advice really, Alon,
it was coming out in our day, I mean, God,
jes all right, all of your Selip scoop at West
Michigan Star dot.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Canny, You've got to get your life together.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
With the work you're on, all.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Second with Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Good morning Star. Who's this?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Lets you even get joked up with these Griffins tickets?
Gotta tell me? One hundred guys were asked to name
a kind of meter.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
What do you think? Their top answer was, Brandon, A
meter like a parking meter, like a parking meter. Yes, yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Would say a parking meter.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
That's the only kind of meter I've never you would
do that book.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
That's the type of meter that immediately popped into my head, too, Brandon.
But that is not the top answer it's actually the
number four most common.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Answer, number four.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Oh wow, that's horrible.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Sorry, Brandon, but hi, Star, who's this?
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Alexis. Brandon just gave me a guest. But one hundred
guys were asked to name a kind of meter. He
said the same thing I was thinking, which was a
parking meter, which was actually the number four most common answer.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So you got a chance here. What do you think
it is, Alexis?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I think it's a water meter.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Ooh, the water meter. You know how many times as
a homeowner I have checked my water meter?
Speaker 6 (23:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I'm a homeowner and I've never checked mine.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Okay, that makes me feel a lot better.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I've never checked it one single time, which makes me
wonder why so many guys are thinking about it, Because
it's the top answer. Way to go, Oh seriously. One
it was water, followed by gas, then electric meter and
parking meter, rounding out those top answers. Alexis, you're going
to our Grand Rapids, Griffins. See, maybe just go and
(24:11):
check your water meter when you get home, just to
say thank you for this.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Okay, I'm going to you and me both congrats. We'll
do it again tomorrow. Battle of the.

And you know we share stories about people just doing
nice things all the time, feeling good every day six
forty five and nine to twenty Schmidty.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
But this one I wanted to talk.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
About because it was just so out of left field
and such a sweet thing to have had happened to
me last Friday night. I mentioned earlier in parent Confession,
the Daddy Daughter dance Window. And you know when you
go to these things, you get all dialed up. Everybody's
you know, almost like a formal, like a homecoming kind
of style thing. And so each year I do a cassage,
right and flowers and all that good stuff. Well, this
(25:00):
year Friday was a super busy day for me. I
was running way late. It was already after five point thirty.
We were supposed to be a dinner by like six,
and I'm on my way home and I still have
to stop and get this parsage. And I actually went
to Daylily Floral in Cascade. It's just off Cascade right
now at the corner of twenty eighth Street, and I
walk in and actually see a different customer walk out
with a carsage and I'm like, boom, sweet, they must
(25:22):
have a lot of them because of this doggie daughter dance.
And I walk in and there's only one person working in,
this woman behind the counter, and I said, I need
one of those. That lady just said, I need a
carssage and she goes, oh, I am so sorry, but
that was our very last one. And I was like, oh,
you don't have any other ones. I was like, I
don't you know what can we do? And she's like,
(25:44):
I'm really sorry, but that's it. That's all we have. Said, Okay,
you know what are you gonna do? So I start
to walk out and she goes, hang on a second,
and she goes, I have never made a carssage before.
I'm not the person who normally makes them. You know,
I'm just working the register at tonight as we get
ready to close in a little why here she goes,
but if you want, I'll try and make one for
(26:04):
you real quick.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Cute, and I was like, that's unbelievable. I'm like absolutely,
I mean, I got no other choice. I was just
gonna say scrap it.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
And say sorry, honey, no cassages here and just not
even bring it up.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
But instead she goes.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Back there and she whips up this beautiful rose caissage.
But I'm not even kidd it took her like five
minutes tops. And then she comes over and I'm like, oh,
thank you so much. I'm like, how much is it?
And she goes, well, I actually just put it together
out of scraps from other bouquets. And since you know
I'm not the person who normally does this, uh just
take it. It's on the house. I said, absolutely not.
(26:37):
I gotta pay. I gotta pay for this for you.
And she's like no, And then I try to get
her like cash just for doing it, and she's like,
I'm really sorry, but I have a great time with
your daughter tonight.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
This is so West Michigan, so Western Michigan.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
So Marci at day Lily Floral in Cascade goes out
of her way to help a complete stranger, and I didn't,
you know, I didn't ask her. She literally called me
back just to do something nice when she didn't have
to at all.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Did you get a picture, because also Marsie. It looks
like you're gonna be making corsages.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Now, girl, no kidding. I put this actually of her.
It's on our Facebook page right now. You can actually
see me giving my daughter the beautiful prissage and a
picture of Marci. So go in there and say hi
to word too, but don't ask her for a free cressage.
I'm pretty sure they don't want to do it. Really nice,
it's really super nice. Off your so giant thank you
And if you've had somebody just do something incredibly nice
for you as a stranger, tell us about it Facebook
(27:28):

Speaker 1 (28:27):
All right, ch Betty Over on the east side of
the state.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
It was a random active kindness that caught an entire
family off guard.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
As in Whyan Dons.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Donnie Hanson he's a real estate agent over there and
he was busy with work and just driving home on
Monday when he happened to notice something hanging out in
the road that he wanted to go ahead and address.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He said it looked like a wallet.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
I was on seventeenth Street seen it in the middle
of the road and I was thinking, was, Oh, someone had.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
A great Saint Patrick's day.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I can't believe that this is just lying in the
middle of the road on the id.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
And I was like, you know what, yeh gotta get
this back, yep, got to get this back.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
And actually it was because he said he's lost a
wallet a couple of times himself, and nobody ever bothered
to return it. This one, though, filled with all sorts
of cash as well as credit cards and personal information.
But Donnie grabbed that address and immediately went to the
home that was on there where Michelle Johnson was home,
and she just said she saw some random guy standing
(29:26):
on her doorstep holding what looked like a wallet. Well,
it turns out it was actually her son's wallet, who
had been home from being to college at U of M.
Dearborn and had lost it while running some errands on
Saint Patrick's day. And she was just taken aback that
somebody would take the time to return this wallet, not
only give it back, but return it with all of
its contents, including over one hundred dollars in cash that
(29:50):
her son made working over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
He had held up a wallet into our camera. On
this wallet, I almost cry. I know that sounds silly,
but it was nice.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Those small acts of kindness really truly make a difference
in the world.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Well, they certainly do, And just another one to highlight
right there. With feeling good, which we do for you
every day.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Always want to make.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Sure we're bringing some positivity to up, Let's do it
tomorrow six forty five and nine twenty here on Star
