Speaker 1 (00:02):
Wakem It gets my day going, It makes me laugh.
I love it.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Well, good mor to Smitty, Good morning. Welcome into your Tuesday.
It might feel a little bit like a Monday, but
hopefully not. Hopefully you're feeling nice in rested and relaxed,
and then you get to enjoy a labor list Labor Day.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yesteramy, Oh my gosh, do you know what I heard
on Storm Teamate this morning? We had ninety nine percent
sunshine for the Labor Day weekend. You guys, what you
just experienced was the sunniest weekend in the entire summer
in West Michigan. So I really hope you got to
do something, even if it was just sitting in the
(00:44):
backyard with a blow up pool there, because it was
so stunning.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
It really was. You were not kidding, I was. It
was Blake Harms I saw on Saturday say that Saturday
was the sunniest day since all the way back in May,
that we had gotten.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Every single day Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday with ninety nine
percent on.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
So that'll feel real.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Nice and manifest that too, because what I learned this
Labor Day weekend is that I don't want somewhere to
go away yet. I don't want to go away yet
at all. I want to hold onto it with the
death grip.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I thought it was the perfect end to it. And
now we're into kind of the fall feel of routine.
My daughter has her first day of preschool today. We're
just excited. I'm ready for that back to routine. I know,
Grand Haven and Comstock Park officially our final two schools.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Back at it this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
A big good morning to all the teachers that are
finally headed back.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It feels right, it does. It does feel right, and
you know what, and if it doesn't feel right yet,
it's about to because it's gonna get crisp today, highs
up into the upper seventies, might even touch eighty, and
tomorrow we'll be in the seventies and then that's the
last we'll see of the seventy degree times. That looks
like through the weekend is we've got some wet weather
as well as cooler weather on the way. Our friends
(01:51):
from storm tom though, they'll get you that latest forecast
coming up. Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It's the celebrityop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
You guys, I have devastating news. The Pamela Anderson and
Liam Neeson romance is fake. No, oh my gosh, I.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Was so sad to see this.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
It actually broke shortly after we were off the air
on Friday. Apparently it was all just a giant publicity
stunt for obviously the movie The Naked Gun. Sources say
the LoveFest was cooked up by their pr teams and Paramount,
which was the film studio, while they were still filming
back in spring of last year.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Pamela and Liam didn't even see each.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Other from the time the cameras stopped rolling in June
of last year until the press tour launched in July
of this year. Apparently the baking muffins and sour no
and all of that was.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Just a play.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So we've been told Pame Liam didn't even have one
on one dinners together. Whenever they did, assistants were at
the table and it was strictly business. Zero romance. The
two are really really good friends and did really really
enjoy filming together, but there's nothing romantic here, and the
Internet was just an absolute shambles about it.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
We were so excited.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I mean the timing of relationships that happened to spurn
around when a couple's big movie is about to just ID.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Like to believe in love.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I love love, even if your cold heart doesn't. I'm
speaking of possible rekindled love. Over the weekend, Jessica Simpson
and Eric Johnson were spotted together in Vegas. Now, the
two have been separated for quite a while now, but
a lot of sources say there are signs pointing to reconciliation.
They boarded a flight late Friday afternoon and then went
(03:37):
to see Jessica's sister Ashley at her big show inside
the Venetian. It was the first night of her residency,
and when pictures first started popping up, people thought, well, yeah,
I mean it's a family vacation. There's still co parenting
very well, no kids. It was just the two of them,
and they're staying very very quiet on any rumors of
getting back together.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
He's an official.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Do you and Eric?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Are you here to see Ashley Simpson?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yes, here to see Ashley.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Are you proud of her?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
That's all they would say to TMC when they caught
them landing in Vegas. But the two were kind of
holding hands and hugging during the performance in some video
that showed.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Up on TikTok hey.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
You know what they got, kids arecord.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Finally, it was a terrifying scene that unfolded at a
Pennsylvania amusement park this weekend. I guarantee you've seen this.
A young boy caught walking along the monorail track as
stunned guests watched from below. So this is one of
those that rides above the park, hundreds of feet in
(04:40):
the air. The crowd absolutely terrified he was going to
fall before finally a good samaritan climbed the monorail.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
To rescue him. Oh my god, it was really really scary.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
The security team at Hershey Park did jump into action,
reunited with the child with his parents. I had seen
some rumor that he may have had autism and he
was just lost somehow found himself on the rail.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
WHOA, What a good ending to this story. That video
had my chest.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Tightened, especially because the crowd below is all yelling and
motioning for the child to walk off to the one side,
and at one point he walks that way and then
he turned back to the Yeah, people have like.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Their arms outstretched like if you falls, it's wild, but
reunited with parents and everybody is okay. I got the
video for you with your scoop at West Michigan Star
dot Com.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He's selling a fine point seven let's do. They're feeling
good right now. And I got to shout out a
local business who's been doing some pretty amazing things with
an original concept for the last eight years in Grand Rapids.
The Happy Cat Cafe, Yeah, of course, opened up eight
years ago for a place for people to go hang
out and hang with cats while they enjoy some coffee
and some snacks. Well, pretty quickly it became a below
(06:00):
of its spots here in West Michigan and evault into
what it is today where their specialty goes way beyond
the stuff that's on the menu, and they are about
to hit a massive milestone. The Happy Cat Cafe owner
Katie Corto, sat down and talked to Fox seventeen and
announced that they were on the precipice of a major,
major milestone. Oop, there we go.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
You've had almost one thousand adoptions.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I'm going to say that we're at nine hundred and
ninety right now would be about where we're.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
At almost one thousand cats have been adopted from the
Happy Cat Cafe in just eight years. That's a pretty
ridiculous number of you. That's like one every other day
or so going out of there, pretty wild and they
are only about, as you heard, ten away from getting
to that thousand cat milestone, while there are at least
(06:50):
ten kittens over there right now waiting to find their
forever homes. Adoptions cost one hundred and twenty five dollars apiece,
and Katie went on to tell Fox seventeen that this
has just been a amazing not just for her in
the business, for the cats and for everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I feel really just full of gratitude that it was
something that I got to bring into the world, like
a little bit more happiness for not just the cats, but.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
The people too.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So a big shout out to the Happy Cat Cafe
here in Grand Rapids.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
All right, So what did your kids do over the summer?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Maybe a lemonade stand or maybe they had well something
set up, give some treats out to the neighbors, make
a little money. Slightly different for nine year old Ethan Wargo.
He lives in Sycamore, Illinois, and has just wrapped up
his summer setting up a free compliments stand.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
He sat outside his house a few days every single
week and simply paid people compliments. In fact, it caught
the eye of CBS, who joined him and his parents
to talk about how cool this has been.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I didn't you look brilliandsome like you're bracelets. Yeah, it's
really blown up. I was really kind of caught off
guard by just how strong of a reaction people had
to it. It's just very heartwarming to them.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
How much of a reaction.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
People were driving for more than an hour away for
Ethan's compliments stand, And when asked if there was some
way we could figure out how to take Ethan's idea
and have everybody do that.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
If you had that idea, I definitely would confluent on it.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It's so beautiful, Ethan Wargo, you have had the best
summer my guy, and the compliments were really top tier.
I'll go ahead and get that video posted at West
Michigan Star.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Movies, Music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Oh my gosh, I saw my Instagram go wild for
this fifth Harmony back Together.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Well kind of kind of. So, you know, with Joe Bros.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
On their tour, at every single stop, they have brought
out some nostalgic throwback. We've seen the all American rejects,
we've seen the clicks.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Well.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Sunday night in Dallas it was the Originals, Ali, Diana,
Lauren and Normani hitting the stage as Fifth Harmony. Now,
I will tell you Camila Cabello was absent.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
She was touring.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I believe she's in Australia right now, so she wasn't
able to make it. I don't think there was any
real bad blood here, but oh they still sound so good, Jenny,
(09:37):
it was so amazing. Now, there have been rumors swirling
for about a year now that the group may be
getting back together.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
They did give a.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Teaser hashtag breaking a seven year silence as the group
just writing hashtag fifth Harmony follows free. So I'm not
sure if this is going to lead to anything more,
but the Joe Bros Were super ex this and Dallas
went wild.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Do they need Kimi Camila Cabello to be a.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Part of the girl Based on the comments I saw
and the wild reaction, Nope, go make that money.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yeah, this is going to be an interesting story.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
According to Homeland Security, Kim Kardashian just does not understand
the government's immigration policy and she is actually doing more
harm than good. So Homeland Secretary Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin
is saying Miss Kardashian is misinformed and detached from the
very reality of the operations in LA that she has
(10:34):
decided to opinionate on who says these are violent criminals,
they need to be removed from LA, and she is
continuing to do the bidding of criminals at the expense
of innocent Americans. Now, Kim, of course, has been very
very vocal about prison reform. She has started to look
into things like immigration while waiting to see if she
(10:56):
has passed the bar that she took just a few
weeks ago, and this will be really fascinating to see.
So far, she hasn't commented back on this, but there
was a lot of strong language used about what she's
been doing on the West Coast.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Who'll put out that statement about her, This is.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
The Homeland Security Assistant Secretary.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Okay, that's just odd for you to try and invoke
a private citizen's opinions on immigration and say like this
is bad.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Finally, Post Malone has made his official entry into the
world of fashion. The Texas born singer songwriter unveiled his
new collection, Austin Post Apparel. He had a fashion show
at the Hotel de Mission in Paris and he came
out on a horse. Yeah, a little throwback there, absolute
(11:51):
standing ovation for this. He was plaid all in Denham
with a big old cowboy hat on top. And according
to fashion experts, I guess I'll.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Say loved the new line.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
They're the Canadian Texian it was back who knew that
Britain adjusted that the vas were just ahead.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Of their But honestly, it's really it's the it's the
entrance on a horse that you've got to see. It's
up on our Instagram as well as your Celebscoop at West.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Michigan start Doc come oning to you, Welcome into a
new week. Hopefully gets to enjoy a nice long Labor
Day weekend. It's Mack and Schmidty.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah I did. Oh my gosh, it was so stunning outside.
The weather was prime.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
We knew that it was really going to be kind
of the last big one for us because my daughter
starts pre school today, so we knew that, like we're
all back to school for it, and so that's kind
of my theme here. Stay in school, kids, because otherwise
you turn out like my best friend who has been
carrying around something she thought was true that is not
for over forty years. We spent a lot of time
(12:49):
out on the boat this weekend and they were our
first family we've taken on board.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
The new to us boat.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
But you guys had sat for the boat yet.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Yeah, it's the Salmon Bugle.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That's the same.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I can't no, I can't explain to you why it's
that name, because this is a family show. I like it,
but that is the name of our boat if you
see us. So this is the first time we got
to take a family out. There's eight of us on
the boat and they'd never really gone out. We sail
out of Muskegan and then head to the Big Lake
and it was just a really cool moment them and
they're two kids. And so we're leaving from Fisherman's Landing
(13:23):
if people are familiar with that, and there's a giant
hugboat that dock's there. It's called I think the Sandra
Anne or something, and so we're leaving out of the
dock and Chris goes, I just love the Sandra An.
I think there's three of them, but in my opinion,
this is definitely like the prettiest one. And my friend goes, well,
what is it. He goes, let's a tugboat, and she goes, oh, okay.
(13:48):
So we're out on the water for about two three
hours and we're coming back in and she just looks
at me and she said, can I tell you something
if you promise to keep it a secret?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
And I said yeah. She goes, I thought tugboats were
just from fairytale stories.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Like.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Like the Little that COUTU. Yes, I said, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
She goes, I'm forty two years old, and I thought
tugboats were just for fairies and children's books. I said,
you've been living on this earth, near water, near Great
Lakes your entire life, and you thought tugboats were fairy tales.
She goes, absolutely, fir some I've ever seen one.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Was pretty sure all of them had eyeballs and talk.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
How do you think like big beach? She goes, well,
what are they used for? And so I said, I'm
so sorry. I had I can't keep this a secret.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
And so we are out there sailing on our labor day,
thanking all these people putting in their hard earned time.
And there's a dredge out on the channel in Miscegan
right now. Yeah, And they go like, for instance, I
think the tugboat has to bring that in. She goes,
you're kidding me.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
So then we spent the rest of our trip youtubing real.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Life tug boat videos because this mother of two had
absolutely no idea tugboats were a real thing.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
We were absolutely weeping.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Old are her children?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
They are.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Thirteen and eleven.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I just hope, I hope. I pray to God that
at some point in time they asked her what are tugboats?
And she goes, well, they're just in stories, guys.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I was like, honey, have you been spreading this misinformation?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
How do they move those big boats? It's basically the
tooth fairy like.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Every we have, like footage from Titanic with the tug boat.
She goes, I just figured that was. Ai'm like, honey,
stop talking. You're pretty and that's all that matters.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Stay in school because then you'll learn things like that.
Oh man, my votes are real.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I actually really love it when somebody owns up to
not knowing something for an ext six hours. It usually
makes me feel better because sometime I'll be like, oh,
I didn't know that for a long time. But tugboats
that's special. So that's a good word. That's a special cartoon.
One time in her life is John was like, well,
obviously that's fact.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yep, that's what boats are. Tugboat. They could jim so salty.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
That's right. But each and every week we uh let
her step on top of that soap box and just
vent it all out. Salty, schmitty, what's going on this week's.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I said it was a total labor day rookie mistake.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
We were out yesterday, a little beach day, and we
had packed a bunch of food, including a Jimmy John's
giant sized sandwich. Oh you have the upper size yet
that's seventeen feet long.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
That's difficult to fit into a cooler.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
I So here is my saltiness, you guys.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I'm a mother of two, and I'm usually so type
a about these sort of things. And we went out
with some friends and We're driving home at the end
of the day last night, and I'm so excited because
I saved half that giant. Oh, I got so much
trash on the beach about it. They were like, you
need the whole thing. I said, yeah, I am, and
I'm excited about it. And then I realized my sandwich,
my snacks, my chippies, everything was in my friend's cooler
(17:00):
left it all, and you know what, I was so annoyed.
I even googled does someone make an air tag? But
that alerts you that you are about to be so
devastated in yourself for leaving everything in someone else's car.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Honestly, finding out that a sandwich has gone rogue like
that is devastating news, for sure. But I got a
tip of the cap that anybody willing to put an
air tag on a sandwich that is a foeousness is
worth that to me, so sulky. Honestly, the only way
that's better is if your friend sends you the photo
(17:36):
of her enjoying your sandwich on her way home.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Movies, music, and all the gossip.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
In one place.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Well, Taylor Swift is back out on the scene, this
time without current fiance Travis Kelsey. In fact, her attention
is focused on best friend Brittany ma Holmes.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
The two seem to still be very, very close.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Taylor was spotted in Nashville, lived it up all laborty
week and long with Brittany for her thirtieth birthday party.
Picks first started surfacing of homes and her friends at
a private jet hanger Friday night, a quick trip to
Nashville where they hit all the major bars, high end restaurants,
and Taylor was there for it all. Now you'll remember
(18:26):
there were some rumors that the two had a falling
out over some political differences. Does not seem to be
the case. In fact, you'll remember last week when the
engagement news dropped, Patrick admitted that him and Brittany were
one of their very first face times after Travis got
done on Witney. So the pictures are real cute. I
put him up at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Is Taylor going to become one of the wags, one
of the NFL wives and girlfriends?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Is that house she already is?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
You would you put for like a year and a half,
I guess because I just put her fame at so
much higher than his that I can't ever say that
she's the wag I don't see it's a wag.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I don't think it's her only tail. You can be
a wag.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I we'll talk with our coworker. Allis, she's a full
fledged wag. She knows all the proper announciations of it.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
This is interesting.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Newly single Sidney Sweeney has been romantically linked to music
producer Scooter Braun, a source saying that the music manager
has been telling his inner circle all about the romance.
We saw them first in Venice. Was that a couple
months ago for the Jeff bezosweating They were seen spotted
walking kind of not really hand in hand, but looking
(19:34):
a little cozy. Now this is interesting because speaking of
Taylor Swift, you know that Scooter has famously been feuding
with her. He is the one who bought up some
of Beaver's catalog. He's the one who bought up Taylor's
and then she re recorded everything. And when you read
through the comments on this report from the Star, people
are savage over Sydney hooking up with this guy.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Honestly, she just went through her own internet roasting over
the whole American Eagle g you know, good jeans thing. Yeah,
and Scooter Brons got nothing but negativity. I feel like
attached to his.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Name this Corey.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
It's really interesting. Their reps are staying very very quiet
on this, and neither one has issued a statement about it,
so we'll see finally, imagine the Chainsmokers showing up to
your fraternity house for welcome week. That is exactly what
happened at Ohio State. So they had the big game
facing Texas over the weekend. It all went down at
(20:30):
the SAE house. I'm sure I'm not saying that right,
but I wasn't Greek, so I apologize to the sorority
in fraternity is listening right now, But it was an
absolutely epic performance. Oh my goodness, I would have lost
(20:55):
my college mine.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
And took this out.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
They have now made surprise appearance is at Arizona State
and a couple of other college campuses.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
So people are wondering if they're going to do this
all football season.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Honestly, I mean talk about setting the tone for parties
to come for the rest of the year. To start
the year with the shade smoke. That's so cool, your party,
that's awesome, all right, all.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star Dot.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Com let's throw down on your Tuesday morning. Battle of
the sex is looking to get you out to take
a great look at our Detroit Red Wings and our
Grand Rapids Griffins as they get ready to kick off
a new season.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
And in Grand Rapids, I love when they take over
Vanndle for this. Get ready six one, six, four five
eight one oh five seven.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Today's Battle of the Sexes. Question one hundred men surveyed,
name an occupation where your hands.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Are in short, that was the dream to be a
hand model, right, like to just stick your hands in
photographs and have it good. But are they going to
lose their jobs to AI like the rest of us.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Oh, that'd be weird.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
He I would just give it like four fingers or
like six years, right, they'd screw it up.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
I won't tell you my friend's occupation in case it is,
because I don't know what maybe the number one answer.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Might be, but I will say one of our friends
has his hands insured, and we bring it up whenever
we go out.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
We're like, do you have any reservations? Our friend has
his hands insured?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Do you know how much? How much are they insured for?
Do you know?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Two fifty?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Holy crap? Hold a billion dollars hands.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
He'd be completely disabled if he lost the use of them.
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
He doesn't even pick his nose with those things.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
About six one, six, four, five, eight, one five seven
Caller seven. We've got one hundred men surveyed. Name an
occupation where your hands are insured?
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Caller seven.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
You get the number one answer, and you are going
to the red and white game with our Griffins and redwings.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Goot, morning star. Who's this? Scotty and Scotty and Josephina.
Let's hopefully get this short week started the right way. Guys,
how was your labor day weekend?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Great? How about you? Oh fantastic, Thanks for asking. But
let's see if we can start the week right. Gotta
tell me. One hundred men were asked to name an
occupation in which someone would probably have their hands insured.
What do you think is the top answer? That? Scotti
and Jospina? What did you say yet? A surgeon? A surgeon, Josephina,
(23:09):
Why do you think a surgeon? Hello, out of the
mouths of babes is the correct answer? Yes, it was
medical practitioners. And by the way, Schmiddy's friends. A dentist
who has his hands insured as well, a surgeon for sure,
though followed by models, musicians, and athletes rounding out those
(23:31):
top answers. Well done guys. Speaking of athletes, you're gonna
get to go see our Grand Rapids, Griffins and Detroit
Red Wings together.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yay Hike. Yes, it's the big Red and White game
and we want to get you and your crew in
as well. Another chance in a four pack tomorrow as
we battle again. A good morning to you. It's Mack
and Schmidty. An absolutely stunning weekend across West Michigan. What
did you say earlier in.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
The show ninety nine percent sunshine. It was the best
we've had all summer.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
It's insane that we got that on what is, of course,
commonly known as the unofficial wrap up of summer Labor
Day weekends. And maybe that's why my kids got it
in their heads that on Friday, Smitty, because they were
off a school on Friday, and when I got home,
some of the first words that I heard were, Hey, Dad,
three day weekend, Let's go hard.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I said, what that means for your kids?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Well, it is.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Interesting because they had so much stuff going on this weekend.
My daughter had a big thirteenth birthday party to go
to for one of her friends. It just it brought
to my brain a little bit. But my wife was
having her two best friends in town and they were
going out Saturday night and hanging out downtown Grand Rapids.
They got a room over at the JW and we're
having this awesome girls night. And before they left, my
(24:43):
son goes to my wife. He's like, hey, Mom, don't
forget go hard. It's the last weekend to summer. So
they leave, They're off on their own girls adventures, and
my son is telling each of them as they go
out the door, like, go hard. And now I realize
what this is really all about. He knows because I
had said it. I was like, well, it's Bois night. Bro.
I'm like, it's boys nights.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Sounds like he wants pizza and breadsticks, dude.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
He and already he goes, Dad, we're going hard And
I'm like, what is what does that mean? He goes, yeah, yeah,
I knew I had to be something.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
My kids get so excited with that.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Daman the whole time because he knew what was up,
and so he is being on his best behavior. He's
being so nice to his sister and loving on his
mom and just like, oh, but you guys, this last
week in the summer, we're all going hard. It was
all just a trap to get me to open up
my wallet and agree to doing things like five guys
ice cream, We're going to David Busters. We watched a
(25:36):
movie like it was just one big excuse for him
to be like, Dad, give me the night of my dreams.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Like a single weekend.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Whenever Chris goes fishing, my kids will immediately be like,
it's mom, she can't cook, she can't do anything.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
We're about to have the best night of our lives.
What were we ordering out?
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Mom?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
That's all I mean? So did you would you say
that you treated this like the last summer weekend? Not
at all?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
It was.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
It was really it was very chilled though. Honestly, we
didn't even go up north until Saturday morning. We were
planning to go Friday, and then we ended up cleaning
the entire house on Friday for about eight hours, Like
it's insane. We just wanted to like, don't I'll start
the fall ish feel a little more organized.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I don't know what season it needs to be for
this to change. But the end of the night of
me going hard schmiddy was eleven pm. I was out
to sleep on the couch decent. Well, let's tackle this
Tuesday together, shall we? Feeling good right now and starting
on five point seven? What's your bringing?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Smitning, Well, it was such a cool day yesterday, and
I know thousands of people showed up to the Ford
Presidential Library and Museum and lined the streets around the
Pearl Street bridge. It was the greatest generation celebration, A
big thank you to the millions of American and Allied Forces,
patriots and citizens who sacrificed for freedom, commemorating the eightieth
(26:57):
anniversary of the end of World War Two. And talk
a lot about this when it comes to veterans, especially
from World War Two. We are losing so many of
them every day. It's getting to be further and further out.
They're aging, and we want to make sure that they
are celebrated and thanked in the way they deserve.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
And this was such a cool event.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
And one of those people that was thinked was none
other than the beautiful Maxine. Maxine is actually an original
Rosy the Riveter. So very very cool moment where the
air Zoo and Kalamazoo actually set up one of their
rosies to get to interview Maxine. She was also one
of the grand marshals for the big parade yesterday. And
(27:39):
listen to how amazing this woman is. Okay, she was
a turrent lap machinist who served during World War Two.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
But you asked her, not quite well.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
I never considered myself a rosie now, even because I
thought that was the people that made ships and I
disrepaired them.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
You know, what were the best things about being a
war worker?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Oh? I think the accomplishment knowing that you're doing something
that is good to help out, you know, gave me independence,
you know, then you can take care of yourself.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
It was such an amazing interview, over twenty minutes of
her talking about different memories, how she found herself in
Michigan after the war. And then I've got to tell
you the flyover was incredible And if you weren't downtown
Grand Rapids, we were actually out on the lake shore
in Muskegan and saw them coming out. I think it
(28:32):
was a set of three planes, followed by another set
of three planes, and then two more planes, all different.
World War two era. It was very, very moving stuff.
So if you have the chance to like them on
Facebook Greatest Generation Celebration, they've got interviews, photos, the boy
Scouts salute. There was so many things that happened yesterday
that we need to shine a light on to thank
(28:53):
these incredible men and women.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, I got to see the flyover from over near
Ada and it was stunning. But I saw your video
that you posted online over at the lake Shore. Absolutely gorgeous.
You guys should check it out if you're missing yesterday
at Schmidt in the Mit it was very cool. I
gotta tell you about little eight year old boy from
Walker who's trying to clean up Schmidty at the Mullet
National Championships. This is cool though. Shout out to Kaylor Babcock,
(29:18):
the eight year old boy from Walker who's been growing
his hair for a couple of years and in the
first round of the competition he plays twenty seventh and
his mullet is actually got the nickname the mich which
is a tribute to his late grandfather who also rocked
the business in the front, party in the back hairstyle
and something that's really cool for Kaylor, but also for
(29:38):
Kaylor's dad, Matt, who says to thirteen on your side,
he gets to see his dad every time he looks at.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
His son, Kaylor just happens to have the exact same
style of hair stick. It's long and it's it's kind
of fun for him to have. It's a cool reminder
for me kind of looking at him. I look at
my dad all the time at the same time, and
he owns.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
It, which is really special. And it gets even better
because the competition benefits Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors,
nonprofit that gives housing assistance to disabled veterans, and Taylor
is chipped in raising more than seven hundred bucks so far.
The second round of the contest begins tomorrow. He is
one of now just one hundred contestants remaining in the
national competition. If you want to vote, it's mullet Champ
(30:23):
dot com again mullet champ dot com, but pretty pretty
sweet haircut. I'll be honest with you, but feeling good
coming at you a couple times to day. I always
want to share people doing great things out there, amazing
things happen in our world, to give you that positivity
we could all use right, We'll do it again for
you tomorrow six forty five and nine to 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, It makes me laugh.
I love it.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Well, good mor to Smitty, Good morning. Welcome into your Tuesday.
It might feel a little bit like a Monday, but
hopefully not. Hopefully you're feeling nice in rested and relaxed,
and then you get to enjoy a labor list Labor Day.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yesteramy, Oh my gosh, do you know what I heard
on Storm Teamate this morning? We had ninety nine percent
sunshine for the Labor Day weekend. You guys, what you
just experienced was the sunniest weekend in the entire summer
in West Michigan. So I really hope you got to
do something, even if it was just sitting in the
(00:44):
backyard with a blow up pool there, because it was
so stunning.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
It really was. You were not kidding, I was. It
was Blake Harms I saw on Saturday say that Saturday
was the sunniest day since all the way back in May,
that we had gotten.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Every single day Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday with ninety nine
percent on.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
So that'll feel real.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Nice and manifest that too, because what I learned this
Labor Day weekend is that I don't want somewhere to
go away yet. I don't want to go away yet
at all. I want to hold onto it with the
death grip.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I thought it was the perfect end to it. And
now we're into kind of the fall feel of routine.
My daughter has her first day of preschool today. We're
just excited. I'm ready for that back to routine. I know,
Grand Haven and Comstock Park officially our final two schools.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Back at it this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
A big good morning to all the teachers that are
finally headed back.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It feels right, it does. It does feel right, and
you know what, and if it doesn't feel right yet,
it's about to because it's gonna get crisp today, highs
up into the upper seventies, might even touch eighty, and
tomorrow we'll be in the seventies and then that's the
last we'll see of the seventy degree times. That looks
like through the weekend is we've got some wet weather
as well as cooler weather on the way. Our friends
(01:51):
from storm tom though, they'll get you that latest forecast
coming up. Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It's the celebrityop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
You guys, I have devastating news. The Pamela Anderson and
Liam Neeson romance is fake. No, oh my gosh, I.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Was so sad to see this.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
It actually broke shortly after we were off the air
on Friday. Apparently it was all just a giant publicity
stunt for obviously the movie The Naked Gun. Sources say
the LoveFest was cooked up by their pr teams and Paramount,
which was the film studio, while they were still filming
back in spring of last year.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Pamela and Liam didn't even see each.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Other from the time the cameras stopped rolling in June
of last year until the press tour launched in July
of this year. Apparently the baking muffins and sour no
and all of that was.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Just a play.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So we've been told Pame Liam didn't even have one
on one dinners together. Whenever they did, assistants were at
the table and it was strictly business. Zero romance. The
two are really really good friends and did really really
enjoy filming together, but there's nothing romantic here, and the
Internet was just an absolute shambles about it.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
We were so excited.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I mean the timing of relationships that happened to spurn
around when a couple's big movie is about to just ID.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Like to believe in love.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I love love, even if your cold heart doesn't. I'm
speaking of possible rekindled love. Over the weekend, Jessica Simpson
and Eric Johnson were spotted together in Vegas. Now, the
two have been separated for quite a while now, but
a lot of sources say there are signs pointing to reconciliation.
They boarded a flight late Friday afternoon and then went
(03:37):
to see Jessica's sister Ashley at her big show inside
the Venetian. It was the first night of her residency,
and when pictures first started popping up, people thought, well, yeah,
I mean it's a family vacation. There's still co parenting
very well, no kids. It was just the two of them,
and they're staying very very quiet on any rumors of
getting back together.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
He's an official.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Do you and Eric?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Are you here to see Ashley Simpson?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yes, here to see Ashley.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Are you proud of her?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
That's all they would say to TMC when they caught
them landing in Vegas. But the two were kind of
holding hands and hugging during the performance in some video
that showed.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Up on TikTok hey.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
You know what they got, kids arecord.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Finally, it was a terrifying scene that unfolded at a
Pennsylvania amusement park this weekend. I guarantee you've seen this.
A young boy caught walking along the monorail track as
stunned guests watched from below. So this is one of
those that rides above the park, hundreds of feet in
(04:40):
the air. The crowd absolutely terrified he was going to
fall before finally a good samaritan climbed the monorail.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
To rescue him. Oh my god, it was really really scary.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
The security team at Hershey Park did jump into action,
reunited with the child with his parents. I had seen
some rumor that he may have had autism and he
was just lost somehow found himself on the rail.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
WHOA, What a good ending to this story. That video
had my chest.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Tightened, especially because the crowd below is all yelling and
motioning for the child to walk off to the one side,
and at one point he walks that way and then
he turned back to the Yeah, people have like.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Their arms outstretched like if you falls, it's wild, but
reunited with parents and everybody is okay. I got the
video for you with your scoop at West Michigan Star
dot Com.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He's selling a fine point seven let's do. They're feeling
good right now. And I got to shout out a
local business who's been doing some pretty amazing things with
an original concept for the last eight years in Grand Rapids.
The Happy Cat Cafe, Yeah, of course, opened up eight
years ago for a place for people to go hang
out and hang with cats while they enjoy some coffee
and some snacks. Well, pretty quickly it became a below
(06:00):
of its spots here in West Michigan and evault into
what it is today where their specialty goes way beyond
the stuff that's on the menu, and they are about
to hit a massive milestone. The Happy Cat Cafe owner
Katie Corto, sat down and talked to Fox seventeen and
announced that they were on the precipice of a major,
major milestone. Oop, there we go.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
You've had almost one thousand adoptions.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I'm going to say that we're at nine hundred and
ninety right now would be about where we're.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
At almost one thousand cats have been adopted from the
Happy Cat Cafe in just eight years. That's a pretty
ridiculous number of you. That's like one every other day
or so going out of there, pretty wild and they
are only about, as you heard, ten away from getting
to that thousand cat milestone, while there are at least
(06:50):
ten kittens over there right now waiting to find their
forever homes. Adoptions cost one hundred and twenty five dollars apiece,
and Katie went on to tell Fox seventeen that this
has just been a amazing not just for her in
the business, for the cats and for everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I feel really just full of gratitude that it was
something that I got to bring into the world, like
a little bit more happiness for not just the cats, but.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
The people too.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So a big shout out to the Happy Cat Cafe
here in Grand Rapids.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
All right, So what did your kids do over the summer?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Maybe a lemonade stand or maybe they had well something
set up, give some treats out to the neighbors, make
a little money. Slightly different for nine year old Ethan Wargo.
He lives in Sycamore, Illinois, and has just wrapped up
his summer setting up a free compliments stand.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
He sat outside his house a few days every single
week and simply paid people compliments. In fact, it caught
the eye of CBS, who joined him and his parents
to talk about how cool this has been.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I didn't you look brilliandsome like you're bracelets. Yeah, it's
really blown up. I was really kind of caught off
guard by just how strong of a reaction people had
to it. It's just very heartwarming to them.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
How much of a reaction.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
People were driving for more than an hour away for
Ethan's compliments stand, And when asked if there was some
way we could figure out how to take Ethan's idea
and have everybody do that.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
If you had that idea, I definitely would confluent on it.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It's so beautiful, Ethan Wargo, you have had the best
summer my guy, and the compliments were really top tier.
I'll go ahead and get that video posted at West
Michigan Star.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Movies, Music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Oh my gosh, I saw my Instagram go wild for
this fifth Harmony back Together.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Well kind of kind of. So, you know, with Joe Bros.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
On their tour, at every single stop, they have brought
out some nostalgic throwback. We've seen the all American rejects,
we've seen the clicks.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Well.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Sunday night in Dallas it was the Originals, Ali, Diana,
Lauren and Normani hitting the stage as Fifth Harmony. Now,
I will tell you Camila Cabello was absent.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
She was touring.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I believe she's in Australia right now, so she wasn't
able to make it. I don't think there was any
real bad blood here, but oh they still sound so good, Jenny,
(09:37):
it was so amazing. Now, there have been rumors swirling
for about a year now that the group may be
getting back together.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
They did give a.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Teaser hashtag breaking a seven year silence as the group
just writing hashtag fifth Harmony follows free. So I'm not
sure if this is going to lead to anything more,
but the Joe Bros Were super ex this and Dallas
went wild.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Do they need Kimi Camila Cabello to be a.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Part of the girl Based on the comments I saw
and the wild reaction, Nope, go make that money.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yeah, this is going to be an interesting story.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
According to Homeland Security, Kim Kardashian just does not understand
the government's immigration policy and she is actually doing more
harm than good. So Homeland Secretary Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin
is saying Miss Kardashian is misinformed and detached from the
very reality of the operations in LA that she has
(10:34):
decided to opinionate on who says these are violent criminals,
they need to be removed from LA, and she is
continuing to do the bidding of criminals at the expense
of innocent Americans. Now, Kim, of course, has been very
very vocal about prison reform. She has started to look
into things like immigration while waiting to see if she
(10:56):
has passed the bar that she took just a few
weeks ago, and this will be really fascinating to see.
So far, she hasn't commented back on this, but there
was a lot of strong language used about what she's
been doing on the West Coast.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Who'll put out that statement about her, This is.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
The Homeland Security Assistant Secretary.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Okay, that's just odd for you to try and invoke
a private citizen's opinions on immigration and say like this
is bad.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Finally, Post Malone has made his official entry into the
world of fashion. The Texas born singer songwriter unveiled his
new collection, Austin Post Apparel. He had a fashion show
at the Hotel de Mission in Paris and he came
out on a horse. Yeah, a little throwback there, absolute
(11:51):
standing ovation for this. He was plaid all in Denham
with a big old cowboy hat on top. And according
to fashion experts, I guess I'll.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Say loved the new line.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
They're the Canadian Texian it was back who knew that
Britain adjusted that the vas were just ahead.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Of their But honestly, it's really it's the it's the
entrance on a horse that you've got to see. It's
up on our Instagram as well as your Celebscoop at West.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Michigan start Doc come oning to you, Welcome into a
new week. Hopefully gets to enjoy a nice long Labor
Day weekend. It's Mack and Schmidty.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah I did. Oh my gosh, it was so stunning outside.
The weather was prime.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
We knew that it was really going to be kind
of the last big one for us because my daughter
starts pre school today, so we knew that, like we're
all back to school for it, and so that's kind
of my theme here. Stay in school, kids, because otherwise
you turn out like my best friend who has been
carrying around something she thought was true that is not
for over forty years. We spent a lot of time
(12:49):
out on the boat this weekend and they were our
first family we've taken on board.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
The new to us boat.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
But you guys had sat for the boat yet.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Yeah, it's the Salmon Bugle.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That's the same.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I can't no, I can't explain to you why it's
that name, because this is a family show. I like it,
but that is the name of our boat if you
see us. So this is the first time we got
to take a family out. There's eight of us on
the boat and they'd never really gone out. We sail
out of Muskegan and then head to the Big Lake
and it was just a really cool moment them and
they're two kids. And so we're leaving from Fisherman's Landing
(13:23):
if people are familiar with that, and there's a giant
hugboat that dock's there. It's called I think the Sandra
Anne or something, and so we're leaving out of the
dock and Chris goes, I just love the Sandra An.
I think there's three of them, but in my opinion,
this is definitely like the prettiest one. And my friend goes, well,
what is it. He goes, let's a tugboat, and she goes, oh, okay.
(13:48):
So we're out on the water for about two three
hours and we're coming back in and she just looks
at me and she said, can I tell you something
if you promise to keep it a secret?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
And I said yeah. She goes, I thought tugboats were
just from fairytale stories.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Like.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Like the Little that COUTU. Yes, I said, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
She goes, I'm forty two years old, and I thought
tugboats were just for fairies and children's books. I said,
you've been living on this earth, near water, near Great
Lakes your entire life, and you thought tugboats were fairy tales.
She goes, absolutely, fir some I've ever seen one.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Was pretty sure all of them had eyeballs and talk.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
How do you think like big beach? She goes, well,
what are they used for? And so I said, I'm
so sorry. I had I can't keep this a secret.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
And so we are out there sailing on our labor day,
thanking all these people putting in their hard earned time.
And there's a dredge out on the channel in Miscegan
right now. Yeah, And they go like, for instance, I
think the tugboat has to bring that in. She goes,
you're kidding me.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
So then we spent the rest of our trip youtubing real.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Life tug boat videos because this mother of two had
absolutely no idea tugboats were a real thing.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
We were absolutely weeping.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Old are her children?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
They are.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Thirteen and eleven.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I just hope, I hope. I pray to God that
at some point in time they asked her what are tugboats?
And she goes, well, they're just in stories, guys.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I was like, honey, have you been spreading this misinformation?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
How do they move those big boats? It's basically the
tooth fairy like.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Every we have, like footage from Titanic with the tug boat.
She goes, I just figured that was. Ai'm like, honey,
stop talking. You're pretty and that's all that matters.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Stay in school because then you'll learn things like that.
Oh man, my votes are real.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I actually really love it when somebody owns up to
not knowing something for an ext six hours. It usually
makes me feel better because sometime I'll be like, oh,
I didn't know that for a long time. But tugboats
that's special. So that's a good word. That's a special cartoon.
One time in her life is John was like, well,
obviously that's fact.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yep, that's what boats are. Tugboat. They could jim so salty.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
That's right. But each and every week we uh let
her step on top of that soap box and just
vent it all out. Salty, schmitty, what's going on this week's.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I said it was a total labor day rookie mistake.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
We were out yesterday, a little beach day, and we
had packed a bunch of food, including a Jimmy John's
giant sized sandwich. Oh you have the upper size yet
that's seventeen feet long.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
That's difficult to fit into a cooler.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
I So here is my saltiness, you guys.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I'm a mother of two, and I'm usually so type
a about these sort of things. And we went out
with some friends and We're driving home at the end
of the day last night, and I'm so excited because
I saved half that giant. Oh, I got so much
trash on the beach about it. They were like, you
need the whole thing. I said, yeah, I am, and
I'm excited about it. And then I realized my sandwich,
my snacks, my chippies, everything was in my friend's cooler
(17:00):
left it all, and you know what, I was so annoyed.
I even googled does someone make an air tag? But
that alerts you that you are about to be so
devastated in yourself for leaving everything in someone else's car.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Honestly, finding out that a sandwich has gone rogue like
that is devastating news, for sure. But I got a
tip of the cap that anybody willing to put an
air tag on a sandwich that is a foeousness is
worth that to me, so sulky. Honestly, the only way
that's better is if your friend sends you the photo
(17:36):
of her enjoying your sandwich on her way home.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Movies, music, and all the gossip.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
In one place.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Well, Taylor Swift is back out on the scene, this
time without current fiance Travis Kelsey. In fact, her attention
is focused on best friend Brittany ma Holmes.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
The two seem to still be very, very close.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Taylor was spotted in Nashville, lived it up all laborty
week and long with Brittany for her thirtieth birthday party.
Picks first started surfacing of homes and her friends at
a private jet hanger Friday night, a quick trip to
Nashville where they hit all the major bars, high end restaurants,
and Taylor was there for it all. Now you'll remember
(18:26):
there were some rumors that the two had a falling
out over some political differences. Does not seem to be
the case. In fact, you'll remember last week when the
engagement news dropped, Patrick admitted that him and Brittany were
one of their very first face times after Travis got
done on Witney. So the pictures are real cute. I
put him up at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Is Taylor going to become one of the wags, one
of the NFL wives and girlfriends?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Is that house she already is?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
You would you put for like a year and a half,
I guess because I just put her fame at so
much higher than his that I can't ever say that
she's the wag I don't see it's a wag.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I don't think it's her only tail. You can be
a wag.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I we'll talk with our coworker. Allis, she's a full
fledged wag. She knows all the proper announciations of it.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
This is interesting.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Newly single Sidney Sweeney has been romantically linked to music
producer Scooter Braun, a source saying that the music manager
has been telling his inner circle all about the romance.
We saw them first in Venice. Was that a couple
months ago for the Jeff bezosweating They were seen spotted
walking kind of not really hand in hand, but looking
(19:34):
a little cozy. Now this is interesting because speaking of
Taylor Swift, you know that Scooter has famously been feuding
with her. He is the one who bought up some
of Beaver's catalog. He's the one who bought up Taylor's
and then she re recorded everything. And when you read
through the comments on this report from the Star, people
are savage over Sydney hooking up with this guy.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Honestly, she just went through her own internet roasting over
the whole American Eagle g you know, good jeans thing. Yeah,
and Scooter Brons got nothing but negativity. I feel like
attached to his.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Name this Corey.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
It's really interesting. Their reps are staying very very quiet
on this, and neither one has issued a statement about it,
so we'll see finally, imagine the Chainsmokers showing up to
your fraternity house for welcome week. That is exactly what
happened at Ohio State. So they had the big game
facing Texas over the weekend. It all went down at
(20:30):
the SAE house. I'm sure I'm not saying that right,
but I wasn't Greek, so I apologize to the sorority
in fraternity is listening right now, But it was an
absolutely epic performance. Oh my goodness, I would have lost
(20:55):
my college mine.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
And took this out.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
They have now made surprise appearance is at Arizona State
and a couple of other college campuses.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
So people are wondering if they're going to do this
all football season.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Honestly, I mean talk about setting the tone for parties
to come for the rest of the year. To start
the year with the shade smoke. That's so cool, your party,
that's awesome, all right, all.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star Dot.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Com let's throw down on your Tuesday morning. Battle of
the sex is looking to get you out to take
a great look at our Detroit Red Wings and our
Grand Rapids Griffins as they get ready to kick off
a new season.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
And in Grand Rapids, I love when they take over
Vanndle for this. Get ready six one, six, four five
eight one oh five seven.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Today's Battle of the Sexes. Question one hundred men surveyed,
name an occupation where your hands.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Are in short, that was the dream to be a
hand model, right, like to just stick your hands in
photographs and have it good. But are they going to
lose their jobs to AI like the rest of us.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Oh, that'd be weird.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
He I would just give it like four fingers or
like six years, right, they'd screw it up.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
I won't tell you my friend's occupation in case it is,
because I don't know what maybe the number one answer.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Might be, but I will say one of our friends
has his hands insured, and we bring it up whenever
we go out.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
We're like, do you have any reservations? Our friend has
his hands insured?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Do you know how much? How much are they insured for?
Do you know?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Two fifty?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Holy crap? Hold a billion dollars hands.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
He'd be completely disabled if he lost the use of them.
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
He doesn't even pick his nose with those things.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
About six one, six, four, five, eight, one five seven
Caller seven. We've got one hundred men surveyed. Name an
occupation where your hands are insured?
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Caller seven.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
You get the number one answer, and you are going
to the red and white game with our Griffins and redwings.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Goot, morning star. Who's this? Scotty and Scotty and Josephina.
Let's hopefully get this short week started the right way. Guys,
how was your labor day weekend?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Great? How about you? Oh fantastic, Thanks for asking. But
let's see if we can start the week right. Gotta
tell me. One hundred men were asked to name an
occupation in which someone would probably have their hands insured.
What do you think is the top answer? That? Scotti
and Jospina? What did you say yet? A surgeon? A surgeon, Josephina,
(23:09):
Why do you think a surgeon? Hello, out of the
mouths of babes is the correct answer? Yes, it was
medical practitioners. And by the way, Schmiddy's friends. A dentist
who has his hands insured as well, a surgeon for sure,
though followed by models, musicians, and athletes rounding out those
(23:31):
top answers. Well done guys. Speaking of athletes, you're gonna
get to go see our Grand Rapids, Griffins and Detroit
Red Wings together.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yay Hike. Yes, it's the big Red and White game
and we want to get you and your crew in
as well. Another chance in a four pack tomorrow as
we battle again. A good morning to you. It's Mack
and Schmidty. An absolutely stunning weekend across West Michigan. What
did you say earlier in.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
The show ninety nine percent sunshine. It was the best
we've had all summer.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
It's insane that we got that on what is, of course,
commonly known as the unofficial wrap up of summer Labor
Day weekends. And maybe that's why my kids got it
in their heads that on Friday, Smitty, because they were
off a school on Friday, and when I got home,
some of the first words that I heard were, Hey, Dad,
three day weekend, Let's go hard.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I said, what that means for your kids?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Well, it is.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Interesting because they had so much stuff going on this weekend.
My daughter had a big thirteenth birthday party to go
to for one of her friends. It just it brought
to my brain a little bit. But my wife was
having her two best friends in town and they were
going out Saturday night and hanging out downtown Grand Rapids.
They got a room over at the JW and we're
having this awesome girls night. And before they left, my
(24:43):
son goes to my wife. He's like, hey, Mom, don't
forget go hard. It's the last weekend to summer. So
they leave, They're off on their own girls adventures, and
my son is telling each of them as they go
out the door, like, go hard. And now I realize
what this is really all about. He knows because I
had said it. I was like, well, it's Bois night. Bro.
I'm like, it's boys nights.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Sounds like he wants pizza and breadsticks, dude.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
He and already he goes, Dad, we're going hard And
I'm like, what is what does that mean? He goes, yeah, yeah,
I knew I had to be something.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
My kids get so excited with that.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Daman the whole time because he knew what was up,
and so he is being on his best behavior. He's
being so nice to his sister and loving on his
mom and just like, oh, but you guys, this last
week in the summer, we're all going hard. It was
all just a trap to get me to open up
my wallet and agree to doing things like five guys
ice cream, We're going to David Busters. We watched a
(25:36):
movie like it was just one big excuse for him
to be like, Dad, give me the night of my dreams.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Like a single weekend.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Whenever Chris goes fishing, my kids will immediately be like,
it's mom, she can't cook, she can't do anything.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
We're about to have the best night of our lives.
What were we ordering out?
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Mom?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
That's all I mean? So did you would you say
that you treated this like the last summer weekend? Not
at all?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
It was.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
It was really it was very chilled though. Honestly, we
didn't even go up north until Saturday morning. We were
planning to go Friday, and then we ended up cleaning
the entire house on Friday for about eight hours, Like
it's insane. We just wanted to like, don't I'll start
the fall ish feel a little more organized.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I don't know what season it needs to be for
this to change. But the end of the night of
me going hard schmiddy was eleven pm. I was out
to sleep on the couch decent. Well, let's tackle this
Tuesday together, shall we? Feeling good right now and starting
on five point seven? What's your bringing?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Smitning, Well, it was such a cool day yesterday, and
I know thousands of people showed up to the Ford
Presidential Library and Museum and lined the streets around the
Pearl Street bridge. It was the greatest generation celebration, A
big thank you to the millions of American and Allied Forces,
patriots and citizens who sacrificed for freedom, commemorating the eightieth
(26:57):
anniversary of the end of World War Two. And talk
a lot about this when it comes to veterans, especially
from World War Two. We are losing so many of
them every day. It's getting to be further and further out.
They're aging, and we want to make sure that they
are celebrated and thanked in the way they deserve.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
And this was such a cool event.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
And one of those people that was thinked was none
other than the beautiful Maxine. Maxine is actually an original
Rosy the Riveter. So very very cool moment where the
air Zoo and Kalamazoo actually set up one of their
rosies to get to interview Maxine. She was also one
of the grand marshals for the big parade yesterday. And
(27:39):
listen to how amazing this woman is. Okay, she was
a turrent lap machinist who served during World War Two.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
But you asked her, not quite well.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
I never considered myself a rosie now, even because I
thought that was the people that made ships and I
disrepaired them.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
You know, what were the best things about being a
war worker?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Oh? I think the accomplishment knowing that you're doing something
that is good to help out, you know, gave me independence,
you know, then you can take care of yourself.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
It was such an amazing interview, over twenty minutes of
her talking about different memories, how she found herself in
Michigan after the war. And then I've got to tell
you the flyover was incredible And if you weren't downtown
Grand Rapids, we were actually out on the lake shore
in Muskegan and saw them coming out. I think it
(28:32):
was a set of three planes, followed by another set
of three planes, and then two more planes, all different.
World War two era. It was very, very moving stuff.
So if you have the chance to like them on
Facebook Greatest Generation Celebration, they've got interviews, photos, the boy
Scouts salute. There was so many things that happened yesterday
that we need to shine a light on to thank
(28:53):
these incredible men and women.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, I got to see the flyover from over near
Ada and it was stunning. But I saw your video
that you posted online over at the lake Shore. Absolutely gorgeous.
You guys should check it out if you're missing yesterday
at Schmidt in the Mit it was very cool. I
gotta tell you about little eight year old boy from
Walker who's trying to clean up Schmidty at the Mullet
National Championships. This is cool though. Shout out to Kaylor Babcock,
(29:18):
the eight year old boy from Walker who's been growing
his hair for a couple of years and in the
first round of the competition he plays twenty seventh and
his mullet is actually got the nickname the mich which
is a tribute to his late grandfather who also rocked
the business in the front, party in the back hairstyle
and something that's really cool for Kaylor, but also for
(29:38):
Kaylor's dad, Matt, who says to thirteen on your side,
he gets to see his dad every time he looks at.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
His son, Kaylor just happens to have the exact same
style of hair stick. It's long and it's it's kind
of fun for him to have. It's a cool reminder
for me kind of looking at him. I look at
my dad all the time at the same time, and
he owns.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
It, which is really special. And it gets even better
because the competition benefits Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors,
nonprofit that gives housing assistance to disabled veterans, and Taylor
is chipped in raising more than seven hundred bucks so far.
The second round of the contest begins tomorrow. He is
one of now just one hundred contestants remaining in the
national competition. If you want to vote, it's mullet Champ
(30:23):
dot com again mullet champ dot com, but pretty pretty
sweet haircut. I'll be honest with you, but feeling good
coming at you a couple times to day. I always
want to share people doing great things out there, amazing
things happen in our world, to give you that positivity
we could all use right, We'll do it again for
you tomorrow six forty five and nine to twenty here
