Speaker 1 (00:03):
Wake up.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
It gets my day going and makes me laugh.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
It Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one
of five point seven. Good morning, here we go. Welcome
into August. More importantly, I feel like TCI have Schmitty.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's kind of crazy, though, to say that it is
August first, you guys, Somewhere some mom is going I
have so much to do in such a short amount
of time, for getting back to school, or that last
minute vacation in or just a few more memories with
the kids. Don't let it stress you out. We got
a gorgeous weekend ahead and plenty of time.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
You're not kidding. I mean this morning. We are living
in a beautiful mid fifty steps out there right now
to start the day. That's not awful at all. It's
the time when my dad would get up in the
morning and run around the house going we got to
trap the cold air.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I know, I wish I could open the windows. That
smoke killed me yesterday. It was absolutely I tried to
take the dogs for a walk last night. I even
waited until after eight. And I mean, I'm a sensitive group,
so I'll say that. But man, oh man, I was
really struggling and unfortunately, we're going to see that air
quality pretty rough through tomorrow. Then it should be good
and we, like I said, we still got nice weather

(01:14):
for Saturday and Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, absolutely gorgeous. We're looking at lots of sunshine and
much much cooler temps than what we've had the last
couple of weeks. You'll buckle up for a great.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Weekend, movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
In update out yesterday on the official cause of death
for WWE legend Hulk Hogan, it is a cute myocardial
infarction aka a heart attack that took the seventy one
year old, But in a more shocking update, we learned
that Hogan had dealt with leukemia before his passing. UH.

(01:53):
Not very many details out about this, it was just
part of those medical records, and even though he had
this may battle, most of his really close friends still
had no idea and say they were absolutely shocked by
the untimely death. So I thought that was wild.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I mean, it absolutely is. I guess the leukemia part
had never heard about it as well. To me, the
heart attack part years and years of writing, No.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Leukemia is really surprising. Catherine Blair Bowman, the wife of
former Maroon five bassist Mickey Madden, writing in court documents
she was absolutely terrified of him, alleging he physically assaulted
her after she confronted him about inappropriate text messages with
teenage girls. This is a really interesting story and a

(02:39):
lot of fans are wondering if maybe this is why
he was dropped from the band and we didn't hear much.
Bowman is seeking a restraining order against the forty six
year old, and documents filed in La Superior Court, she
notes the musician is currently in a rehabilitation facility. The
restraining order also covers their two dogs. They luckily do
not have any that are a part of this. Bowman

(03:01):
claims she received a message from a teenage girl back
in July alerting her to Medden's alleged texts. She was hurt, disturbed,
she needed to understand what was going on. She said.
At that point he started denying it. I asked him
to see his phone, he wouldn't hand it to me,
and then suddenly, thanks God, completely out of control. He

(03:21):
became enraged, put his arms around my body, trying to
restrain me, slamming me into our marble kitchen counter, shoved
me to the ground, screaming at me. She says she
was in fear for her life. She says he physically,
emotionally and mentally abused me. I'm absolutely terrified. Now this

(03:41):
is a temporary restraining order as a court hearing has
now been scheduled.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, that was a lot. Wowchmithy. I mean you're talking obviously,
the texting stuff is really uncomfortable in some serious accusations.
But then after that that is I mean, I think
you can find napping in there. You can find domestic violence,
like you're you're holding somebody in place. The law doesn't
treat that too easily.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I saw have an update when we learn more. Finally,
Tyra Banks back at it, going TMI. She's always been
one to be very honest with her fans, even about
the gross parts of her life. The former supermodel was
one of the guest hosts Sport Today with Jenna and
Friends yesterday on the Today Show and admits she finds
pleasure in a very weird habit. I like to pick.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
I like the toe and it has some stuff in it.
I don't mind digging it out and then a pimple,
Like if you had a pimple.

Speaker 7 (04:35):
You'd be staring at me, the staring at you.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
What would be your mental track?

Speaker 2 (04:40):
What would be going on in the brain?

Speaker 7 (04:43):
I want it so bad.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
It's an addiction.

Speaker 6 (04:46):
It's disgusting and erotic at the same time.

Speaker 7 (04:48):
Now, where do you draw the line, guyse draw the
line where nether regions?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
I'm not picking up in those. It was pretty funny
this just a few days after she made that confession
that she eats in bed and then picks up all
the crumbs on her bed and her floor by licking
her fingers putting it in her mouth. I gotta tell you, though,
Tyre Bank's always the girl to be very honest about life.
I've got the full video for you with your scoop

(05:15):
at West Michigan Star dot com.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
It's a total five points. Yeah, a good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmidty feeling good right now and it
was just last Friday. The wee gets you feeling good
here in West Michigan. Providing a little Christmas spirit with
our Christmas in July celebration. Well West Michigan going to
be providing a little Christmas spirit at the White House
this holiday season because a West Michigan tree farm has
her national recognition winning a big national competition that comes

(05:41):
with the honor providing the White House its main Christmas
tree this year. Big congratulations going out to Corson's Tree
Farms in Sydney, northeast of the Grand Rapids area, just
named a Grand champion in the recent National Christmas Tree
Association's competition. They hold it every couple of years, and
Corson had one of the two grand champions. They'll provide

(06:02):
the tree this year. The other winner gets to send
the tree next year. Now the owner, of course, and
say a representative from the White House actually goes there
in late September picks out which eighteen foot tall tree
will actually make that trip to Washington, d C. There's
gonna be lots of trees around the White House, but
this will be the centerpiece tree. And then once they
select it, they actually take it there in November two

(06:24):
the White House where it gets brought by horse drawn
carriage to greet the First Lady, and the Corsons will
get to be on site for the ceremony. They've got
one hundred acre farm in production over six hundred thousand trees.
So you know you could go get your Christmas tree
at the same place the White House will have their
tree this year, Smindie.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
All right, this is very cool. Coach Dan Campbell of
course ready for his boys to take the field. Last night.
It may not have been the most exciting Hall of
Fame game against the Chargers, but pregame we got some
advice from Daddy Dan, including his best superpower, what he
would be doing if he wasn't a coke, and some
great life advice. This with local for got a superhero's power,

(07:04):
what would it be?

Speaker 8 (07:05):
It would be a power of flight.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
If you were lost in the woods with a player
who would get you out of the fastest.

Speaker 8 (07:11):
Sam Brown, what can he not do? He can navigate,
he can kick it all right, he can go get
us something to eat, he can build a shelter, he
can do it all.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
If you weren't an NFL coach, what would you be
doing right now?

Speaker 8 (07:22):
I'd be working on a ranch, be working cattle.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
What was your first job?

Speaker 8 (07:25):
Probably, I guess first official job was working in a
fast food chicken place. All right, this Casey's Chicken and chili,
Glenroe sexis Yeah, I did that clean more chicken. You
can imagine.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Last one for you, what's the best advice you've ever
received from someone?

Speaker 8 (07:38):
That's a good one.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
I just know this.

Speaker 9 (07:40):
Look.

Speaker 8 (07:40):
I had a coach one time tell me when I
was real, real young, I said, I can't do it,
I can't do it. And he said, you know what,
you know that guy can't, can't, never did anything. And
that always stuck with me.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
I love it, can't, never did anything. Hopefully this is
gonna be a good year for you Lines fans because
Coach Dan is ready. I put the full interview up
at West Michigan Star dot.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Com Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
It's the celebrities Goop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Well, this was definitely a shock to fans and possibly
a bit of an explanation for a lot of the
controversies surrounding Justin Timberlake's world tour opening up to fans yesterday,
He's revealed he is battling lime disease. The singer songwriter
sharing the news on Instagram and a very heartfelt post
saying he's been diagnosed with the bacterial infection spread to

(08:30):
humans by tics. He didn't go into detail about how
serious this is, but he said he wants to shed
some light on his difficulties. He said, has these two
incredible years come to an end and I look forward
to the future. I needed to write something from the heart.
It's not an easy task to try to contextualize the
whirlwind of touring, but I'll try. He says. It's been fun, emotional, gratifying,

(08:53):
physically demanding, and at times a grueling experience. He said
the diagnosis Claire so much of the pain he felt
while performing. He said he couldn't dream of giving it up.
He's decided that the joy of performing far out weighs
the fleeting stress his body was feeling. But talks a

(09:13):
lot about exhaustion, nerve pain, debilitating pain in other parts
of his body, absolute fatigue to the point where some
days it was hard to even get out of bed.
And he says he's not looking for sympathy, but it
was time to let the fans know what he's been
battling for almost the entire time of his tour.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
You know, I feel two ways about this one. That's
really terrible for Justin and it sounds exactly like what
you described. As we've been talking about these stories where
he's not really dancing, he's hardly singing, he's hanging about.
That sounds like lime disease and somebody else taking over
your body. At the same time, it's kind of terrible
to not tell everybody as it's happening, or before the

(09:53):
tourists going on, so that they could kind of either
you know, check their expectation levels, give him some sympathy,
repeate's sake if you're.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
I don't think I would do that. And I think
the problem here because Bieber didn't Bieber cancel his tour
because of lime disease when he was diagnosed or was
that just an album that he put on a pod
I can't remember, but he also had lime disease, yeah,
and so I don't know if Justin knew this when
he started touring. That's what this post sounded like to me.
He's like, I'm sitting here in pain, fatigue, no idea,

(10:24):
doctors can't figure it out. Suddenly it's I've got lime disease.
And then I don't know if you if you cancel
a tour necessarily, but obviously it got bad enough that
he's like, fans should understand why I'm setting the microphone
down and pretty much, as one person put it, putting
on a karaoke show. So maybe more updates coming from him.
I'll keep you updated on that. Blake Lively's deposition in

(10:45):
the It Ends with Us drama went down yesterday and
in kind of a surprise move, Justin Beldoni showed up.
So you'll remember there was a big court ruling that
this could be held at Blake Lively's legal office, and
it was a very very small group attorneys for both sides,
a court reporter, a videographer, and Blake and Baldoni. Now

(11:07):
we don't have a ton of details. Neither side would
comment after it wrapped up last night, but sources that
heard said she sat right there, looked him in the face,
answered every question. Baldoni's attorney said, while his client would
not refile his case after the dismissal, now they're focusing
all of their attention on rebuffing every single one of

(11:28):
Blake Lively's claims, which is what a lot of this
deposition was about.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Ugly to just do you think it's a crass move
to show up Lair and just try it. I mean
it seems like intimidation to me. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
No, I think if you're being accused of a bunch
of stuff, you have a right to sit there.

Speaker 7 (11:42):
Va.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Finally, you remember this, right, oh boy, having to run
the drills, the getting timed on your mile, climbing the
rope in the gym. It's back, President Trump signing an
executive order yesterday bringing back the Presidential Fitness test for
kids across America's public school The order will expand the
President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition to bring back

(12:05):
the fitness test. But here's what people are talking about
this morning. It was kind of a weird moment when
he announced this. He was around a few different athletes
that have been very supportive of bringing back the presidential
fitness test. That included Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.
And this is what the President had to say.

Speaker 10 (12:22):
One of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, A
young guy still, and he can kick it long.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
I think he's uh.

Speaker 10 (12:30):
I guess he's considered the best there is in the business.
Harrison Butker a handsome guy. By the way.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I didn't it's usually not my thing. But he is
a good looking sucker.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, a lot of people right now online. Harrison's wife Isabelle,
may have some competition for her. Man got all your scoop,
but West Michigan Star dot com.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
I only ever got the red patch, the national one.
I never got the blue one. I could never reach
in that box.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Reason it was the pipe board that was what always
got me. The pigboard was brutal.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Back. It's ready here on start point seven. And you
said go back to college for this, smitty, like I
need to go back that far to eat super cheap
and fast.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, because this is my current life. I've been telling
you guys, I'm alone all week. My husband and kids
are up north. And if you've listened to me long enough,
you understand my husband does everything. He feeds me, he
does the cleaning. He is the domestic person of our relationship.
And I cannot cook anything. I have burned Kraft macaroni
and cheese. And when people say that's the possible, come

(13:30):
on over, I will show it to you. So now
I'm here alone, and I realized yesterday afternoon I was
telling friends of mine this, I had not eaten a
vegetable in seventy two hours.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Like I was.

Speaker 9 (13:42):
I did.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm like, I'm a living life like a twelve year
old gamer right now.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
No pizza sauce, and it was so fare stretched.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I've been alone since Tuesday morning and I went to
lunch with friends, and then I went out to the
bar Tuesday night with some friends. Then I played trivia
on Wednesday, like, it's all just spend quick fast or
bar type food. You described it as it, yes, and
I thought, I can feel it. My body is screaming, like, honey,

(14:11):
something green. We gotta have some kind of color on
the plate. So last night I felt so proud of
myself because I made I boiled fetucini noodles. Wow, I
made broccoli, steamed that up, and then I put fetchini
alfredo sauce on it and chicken.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
And chicken over there. I didn't think you dive into
the cooking.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Oh wait, just a minute. I didn't cook it because
I sent the pike shir to my friends and I
was like, look at me go and they're like congratulations.
In the next texts, are those air fried chicken nuggies?
I'm like, yes, they are. I put on there, but
that is that is my go to cheap meal. That's

(14:57):
all I know. Like, if I'm home with the kids,
that's what they're gonna eat. I'll put some broccoli or peas,
some kind of veggie I can easily steam from, like myer,
and then I'll put some I'll put some air fried
nuggies on there.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
I don't have any problem with it at all. As
a matter of fact, you know, while we leave the
fatacini part out of it, we do chicken fried air
fryer chicken salads all the time, so one goes into
that it's just bag salads with the air frycheck and
it just goes right in there. We do that as
a fast meal, especially during sports seasons for our kids
all the time, because it is super fast, and you

(15:30):
do pack them full of veggies with the sounds.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Like my friend said that to me, and then I
found out she homemakes her chicken salad. Well, we do that,
all right, That's not what I'm talking about. I don't
know how to do that, and I'm curious. Everybody's got
their meal. It's maybe you only do it when you're
home alone, or maybe it's only at hunting camp. Right,
you go back to college, and like, yeah, Romen still slaps.
I do really get behind that. Craig seems a little

(15:55):
fancier than I thought he was. Like, oh easy stuff,
shredded chicken, romain to in some toppings. But like, do
you have to cook that chicken or am I picking
up a rotisserie from Meyer?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
That's a hack, that's the way.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
I do not know how to cook chicken. I'm so
afraid of salmonella. Turkey burger on the George Foreman yep,
never learned how to use a George Foreman would probably
burn my room down. Oatmeal. Oatmeal, I can do dead water,
just put the maybe a little cimamon. If I'm feeling fans.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
I got one for you here, Schmidti. Then I don't know,
you know if you'll do this or not, but it
is my go to meal, has been since college, for sure,
and I do this with my kids.

Speaker 9 (16:31):
Now.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Baked potato in the microwave. Oh, you can pop a
baked potato, a whole ress of potato right in the microwave.
Put that bad boy in there for the right amount
of time on your microwave.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
What is the bright amount of time that clicks all
the way through ten minutes or so.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
I would never microwave something for ten minutes. I would
think that either my brain was getting radiation for real
or the thing would explode.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
It does well, I mean if you eight to ten minutes,
is what goes on there, and it is a decent
banked potato and then you just throw on some like
sour creams, also teas and all that kind of stuff. Actually,
I think it's a very normal thing to.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Do with the data, all right, hit me up six one, six, four,
five eight, one oh five seven. What is your cheap meal?
It's go to it's simple, it's super fast. Give me
the recipe. Because I have three more days I have
to survive by myself.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Act like you're not going out at least.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
No, I'm watching my spending. That's why I need you
to call in ill broke as a joke, y'all. Can't
keep doing it like that. Six one, six, four five eight,
one oh five seven.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
What's Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star? One
oh five point seven?

Speaker 4 (17:37):
Time spilling two take time, spill the tea is what.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
We're doing spilling your teach and every Friday it is
tea time here unstart one five point seven, Mac and Smitty,
make sure you send us those messages. You will keep
you anonymous. If you want to, you can hit us
up at West Michigan Star.

Speaker 8 (17:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
I know you said this was getting close, but I
think it terrifies everyone, no matter how old your kids
are talking about the rules for dating. Here's the email.
Our friends are fighting over the right age to start dating.
Their daughter is fourteen, and dad thinks that's still way
too young. Sixteen, sure, but he also argues that he

(18:13):
knows exactly what most boys are thinking at that age.

Speaker 5 (18:16):
Now.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Mom says it is what it is, and trying to
stop it will just mean she keeps it a secret.
Mom's concerned it would lead to other secrets, and she
feels like they have built a really open and honest
partnership with their daughter. So did you grow up with
a set dating age? Did you have a rule about
dating for your kids? I think a ton of couples.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Argue over this, Honestly, Before becoming a father of a
now tween age girl, she's twelve going on thirteen next year,
this really didn't enter my purview until about last year
when my daughter had a big crush and now ever
since that I've been sick to my stomach about getting
to this point in life.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
I think it's going to be really weird. I was
a very late bloomer in life, so I didn't really
have a relationship in high school. But like Chris, had
a few different girlfriends and I grew up with the
sixteen sixteen was the dating age. But if you were
going out in some kind of group setting where obviously

(19:15):
you needed like parents to drive you, or it was
mostly movies for us, if you went out with ten
or twelve people, that maybe was freshman year of high school,
and looking at some of the comments, that seems to
be the thing, right, you should do it based on
the child. They mature at different paces. I dig that,

(19:36):
But do you have more than one kid, because I'll
tell you growing up with three other brothers. If I
was allowed to date at like thirteen or fourteen because
no offense, Adam, I was wildly more mature than you,
he was gonna throw a fit. And then it's like
kind of the same thing where Okay, you say I
can't do it because I'm not the same maturity level.
I'm just gonna do it without telling you, right, it's interesting.

(19:58):
Six one six, fourth, five eight, one oh five seven.
We got a couple of talkbacks on our iHeartRadio app
about this, and again, it's a very interesting set of
rules depending on who you are. Hey, Rebecca, you.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
Know, I gotta say I don't trust the dating before eighteen.
I mean, there's so much that can go wrong with
you know, young love, and like I think kids don't
know enough about you know, like the dangers of intimacy

(20:31):
and things like that.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
I see.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
I agree, boy here.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
This is why we have our basement already figured out
in the new house, so when my kids get to
that age, we'll be able to keep eyes on them
no matter where they are, doors open.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
I you know what I will say about that though,
they're keeping until they're eighteen or being super super overprotective,
and you know this may be uh hot take.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
I think it makes people weird when they're older, not weird,
but they're gonna rebel. They're gonna rebell. In Polich, I
saw a lot of those kids, and just a heads
up as soon as they get some of the freedom,
it's going to be a lot to handle. Good morning, Dana.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
I think if they're going to go on a date alone,
they should be at least fifteen fourteen, A supervised date
would be fine, But you know, I think waiting until
they're fifteen to have them out in public on their
own on a date is safer and just a better option,
especially with kids, because you just you don't want to

(21:24):
leave them alone and have them get in trouble or
do something you know that's going to cause them trouble
down the line.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
See Dana's like me, I just know I'm going to
be like your frontal lobe is it fully borned yet?
So I will be going with you until you're twenty five.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Honestly, I just hope to black out until somebody asked
me to walk her down the aisle Spore. That's where
I'm at.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Okay, is music and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
I mean, you've got to give the guy respect. Anthony
Hipkins jumping onto social media yesterday to have a little
fun and troll Kim Kardashian. So if you missed my
story yesterday, Kim has announced a brand new product to
her Skins line, and it's a face wrap. It offers
ultrasoft jaw support in their signature seamless sculpt fabric for

(22:19):
a must have addition to your nightly routine. The second
this hit social media, people immediately started drawing comparisons to
Hannibal Lecter. That's what this thing looks like, wrapped around
your head. Well, Anthony Hopkins didn't want to miss the opportunity,
grabbing himself one of those skims face masks and posting
this on his Instagram yesterday.

Speaker 7 (22:39):
Hello Kim, I'm already saving ten years younger.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Good Bye.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Isn't that wild?

Speaker 1 (22:49):
That's the best.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
In the comments section, he simply wrote, thank you, Kim,
Don't be afraid to come over for dinner. Honestly, it's
so good.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Nobody but Anthony Hopkins can meet that noise inhabitation.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Did I give you lat Leapalooza has officially kicked off
in Chicago opening night last night with lots of awesome,
awesome performances, but the collaboration. Everyone was really excited about.
Luke Comb's one of those headliners and actually invited Alex
Warren on stage to perform that hit ordinary It's so

(23:44):
good and then they changed up a few of the lyrics.
The two of them together like their voices meld in
such a beautiful way. I mean, Luke Combs, that guy
can do it all.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I mean adding that little gravelly ness. Yeah already Alex
Warren's incredibly smooth voice, Like I just.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Think it blessing you, no gravelness. That's a great point.
It made me think of like Chris Stapleton justin Timberland. Yeah,
you know, really really good. Finally, Lindsey Lohan, obviously on
a big press tour for Freaky or Friday, stopped by
the Kelly Rippa Show and was really really excited about
talking about her new life in Dubai, and a lot
of fans always wondered what was it about Dubai. She

(24:23):
lived in New Yorker, whole life, moving across the world.
She's had nothing but a wonderful life. And this is
what really surprised fans. Live a very normal life.

Speaker 6 (24:33):
There's no worry of like I can't go eat at
this place because someone's going to take a picture of
my son.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
And it's just I feel very safe.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
They don't have photographers.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
No, it's not legal.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
What it's not You can't take a picture of someone
else if you're in a restaurant, you have to ask
the person, which is a big difference.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
We've heard this before. The amount of privacy legalization in
Dubai is next level. You cannot even take a communal
picture sidewalk, a restaurant, anything like that without asking permission
of everyone involved that they're okay with that, she said,
Paparazzi or not a thing. That is not a job.
Her and her family live a completely normal life. No

(25:12):
one cares who they are, no one hounds them. It's
a lot of the reason we've seen halle Berry leave,
other people go to the UK. It's just a really
fascinating world to think that that is possible as a celebrity.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, you've always heard like people moving to Paris into
other European countries because their paparazzi laws are so much stricter.
I don't know if I had heard of another country
where it was like now, you can't even take a
picture of a random.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Use a random stranger have to get their permission. Pretty
wild stuff. I did put her whole interview up. She
talks a lot about motherhood as well. West Michigan Star
dot Com with your scoop.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
It's having a fine point, see it. It's Mack and
Schmitty bat Love the Sexiest Time, trying to get you

hundred men surveyed names something in a college student's fridge.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Well, you said men, So the answer is something moldy
somewhere for sure, nothing at all. I agree with that.
Good morning star. Who's this Angela? Where are you calling
from today?

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Mata? All right?

Speaker 1 (26:26):
The dudes were asked this one angela, name something you'd
find in a college student's fridge. What was their top answer.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
I think it has to be beer.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
You think it has to be the beer it be.
You don't think it's going to be like, you know,
carrots broccli, you know some whole milk for sure. Making
sure those college students get their vitamins.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
You know, maybe now, but when I went to college,
it was beer.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
That's true. Maybe now it is a little different, but
beer is definitely the top answer, one hundred percent. Congratulation's
angela fantastic, Thank you, You're so welcome. You're gonna go
check out Descendants and Zombies the World's Collide to are
coming up August seventeenth, over at Little Caesars Arena on
the East Side. Congratulations, thank you, you are so welcome,

(27:14):
and we'll have more tickets been to win ONLL next
week too, Your chance coming at eight fifteen with Battle
of the Sexes here on Star showing a five points Chevin,
it's back and SCHMITTI and it's too much information time,
I guess because Tyra Banks set the world on fire
yesterday and everyone had a collective gag when she went

(27:34):
ahead and said this yesterday on the Today Show. Listen
to this again, SCHMITTI, allso nat I like to pick.

Speaker 6 (27:43):
I like the toe, and if it has some stuff
in it, I don't mind digging it out. And then
a pimple, Like if you had a pimple, you'd be
staring at me the time, staring at you.

Speaker 7 (27:51):
What would be your mental track, what would be going
on in the brain. I want it so bad.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
It's an addiction.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
It's just disgusting, an erotic.

Speaker 7 (28:00):
At the same time, where do you draw the line,
because no, draw the line where nether regions.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
I'm not picking up in those.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Okay, there's so much here that made me uncomfortable, but
you're right. One of the first gross things is her
talking about picking stuff out of people's toes.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
It's the feet, because I think everybody pops pimples personally.
I don't. I absolutely, oh no, there's an entire show
dedicated to it. I know tons of people like pimple
popping is a thing digging something out of a foot, Dude,
I don't know where that foot's been. I don't know
what you travel and your That one absolutely made my

(28:40):
stomach turn inside out.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
I find both of those to be unacceptably grossy.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
I'm sad people giving me a pedicure.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
If you've got zits on your back that you need
popp because they're like, because they're hurting you or something
like that, and you have your significant other, do it, okay, whatever,
If your significant other is doing it because they get
satisfaction out of popular we.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Wouldn't get it, but like it is such a thing.
I want to hear the weirder ones.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, I p is it.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
I want to hear the really odd satisfaction.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
I know people I think that the crazy. I mean,
my son bites his nails down to like nubs, and
I hate it. It's a habit. We've got a break
on them, and I think that is absolutely gross. But
I know kids. A friend of mine's daughter ate so
much of her hair that it became a huge problem,
like they had to go to a doctor.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
I do think that is. I do think that is
a medical situation.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Just jewing on it, like like crazy, couldn't get it
to do that?

Speaker 7 (29:32):
What is it for you?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Do you have a weird one that you eat?

Speaker 2 (29:34):
I really I don't think that I do. But I
had a friend that always ate the fruit, rines, oranges, bananas.
She would eat an avocado like an apple.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, that person's going to live forever.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
And I thought, what But it wasn't a healthy thing.
She liked how it felt when she ate it. She
liked the texture of it. That is, it had nothing
to do with benefits. She's just like, this is my
favorite part of the fruit and I was like, no,
I don't know if we're gonna be like friends forever.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
My thing, I think the closest thing that I have
to it is I am a backcracker. And unfortunately I've
done this to my kids so like and my niece
and nephew by the way too. Every time I see them,
they go, hey, uncle Johnny, will you crack my back?
And it is literally that thing where I make them
I'm like, breathe in, breathe, oh, and I do like
a makeshift hi repress talking.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
That I crack my knuckles. I can crack all three
of my knuckles on every single one of my five fingers.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Do you know what? My daughter loves to have her
toes pulled on that way crack and like they pop
so loud and like it like moves like a quarter
of an inch, and it's so just alarming when she
does it. Dead will you will you pull my toes?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
No, that's weird you out. But going back to our
dating conversation, I would not let people know that about her.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
A fine point. See, let's start the day the right way,
feeling good? Right now, what's happening?

Speaker 4 (30:56):
Well?

Speaker 2 (30:56):
I watched a bit of that Hall of Fame Game,
our first look at the season's Detroit Lions, and you
got to say, everybody is rooting for our West Michigan
own Isaac Tislav. Of course, the Hudsonville native and Unity
Christian grad is suited up for his first season with
the Lions. It was a really cute story last night
about his pre draft interview, and Mike Turco said, when

(31:18):
he showed up in a certain piece of clothing, honestly,
Holmes and his organization thought it was a joke. But no,
you've just got a diehard Lions fan.

Speaker 9 (31:28):
This is footage of him in his pre draft visit.
Look at the back of his jersey. He's got his
own custom jersey with his name on it. And Brad Holmes,
the Lions GM thought, man, this guy's trying a little
bit too hard to make a good impression on the
job interview.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
But it was the real deal.

Speaker 9 (31:44):
It wasn't a joke. He's been a lifelong Lions fan
and now the custom jersey is the real deal.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Isn't that cool? They thought that that was all just
for shol Like, we get it, man, Like you don't
need to go this far. He goes, Oh, no, I've
just had this for like a decade and I'm super
excited to be wearing it to the Lion's organization. This
is going to be good. Stuff looked pretty good yesterday
And when you look at the comments section, my most
favorite bro is living out the childhood dream of every

(32:10):
Lions fan. How can you not love him and root
for him to go all the way? And we're certainly
hoping that for Isaac.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
You know, his jersey that he got ten years ago
was going to look a lot like a lot of
kids across West Michigan and beyond who are wearing that
same Lions jersey with the name on the back. I
love that, all right. We love a good family reunification story,
but this one is wild. Okay, So all the way
back in the nineteen forties, mary Anne Griffin and Donald

(32:38):
Hefke were separated. They were fraternal twins, and after their
mother was institutionalized due to PTSD, they were placed in
separate foster homes and mary Anne actually got adopted by
a family in Illinois that blocked her brother's efforts from
trying to contact her. She was sharing the story. Listen

(33:00):
to this.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
I know I'm just eighty and we're not getting any younger,
and we found each other. I can't believe that my father,
who was a Lutheran minister, would do this, who would
keep things from me?

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yeah, she was never allowed to see her adoption papers.
Was kind of completely in the dark that she even
had a brother until Marian received an unexpected phone call
from him. She was able to match up all the
things that he was saying with actual documentation and they
got to talk for the first time in eighty years.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
My brother was so happy, he said, Marian, Marian, this
is you. Oh my goodness, I've been looking for you. Marian.
He couldn't even stop saying my name. And see him
in Florida, even for a few days. We have eighty
years to catch up on. Family is so important, and that's.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
What they are hoping to do next. They live on
opposite sides of the country, but she is hoping to
get down to Florida and visit her brother for the
first time since they were separated eighty years ago.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
It's never too late, too crazy.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
All right? Feeling good coming at you a couple of times.
They always want to share an amazing story or tell
you about something great going on. We'll do it again
for you on Monday six forty five and nine twenty.
Every weekday, I'm Star Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday,
starting at six am on Star one oh five point
seven
