Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh
of it.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven, Well, good morning to use, good morning,
welcome into your Monday. And you know what it's called
out there, attempts in the low forties this morning. It's
a bit risk, you could tell.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I mean, I had to turn on my heat, my
seat warmers, but that ain't gonna be the case this week,
So enjoy because it's funny. My son had a birthday
party on Saturday and they had like a blow up.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
House, a foam pen, sprinklers, and it.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Was like sixty degrees and the dad when we got
there was like, yeah, so next week and it's gonna
be eighty, which is what we were kind of thinking
this weekend would be. But whatever, kids don't have nerve ending,
so they absolutely loved it.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Oh, I was gonna say, it still sounds like a
blast I mean a foam party.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, just a little jillie. But that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It's gonna be warming up this week, so we are
back to maybe a little bit of that summer field.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I told you last week not to flip that word
for hope, you guys.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I rocked the hoodie and shorts all week long. Just
on that recommendation Schmidti, it'll pay off for you too.
His today near seventy lots of sunshine coming in this week.
I don't see a single day that has a six
in front of it for the high just a bunch
of seventy degree days, maybe even mother Nature slipping it
in a couple of eighty degree days. So some are
not done with this quite yet.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Well it was back last night.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
The MTV Video Music Awards officially going down with some
big winners including Artist of the Year going to Gaga,
Song of the Year going to Rose and Bruno mars
apt and Best New Artist going to Alex Warren. But
one of the big moments of the night Video of
(01:53):
the Year, something the VMA's always say for their biggest award,
and it was Ariana Grande for Bright Days Ahead. She
beat out Kendrick Sabrina Carpenter in the weekend, but unfortunately
for Ari that microphone was just a little too tall
for the little nugget.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Does this get taller? Every time.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Is this intentional on her tiptoes to thank fans for
that one? But big night, tons of stars. Even Gaga
showed up to accept and then literally ran down the
street to Madison Square Garden because she had a show
that night.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You know, I saw that, like MTV and MTV two
and some of the other channels, we're gonna start showing
like NonStop music videos leading up to the VMAs. I
don't think I've sat and watched a music video all
the way through in a long time. I haven't even
seen that one that Ariana Grande won it.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
We we have, just because our kids have gotten very
into music videos, Like we will sit at night and
watch like four or five of them because they're like,
what is this?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I was like, this is how he used to be done.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
The Jonas Brothers pulling out all the stops in La
over the weekend, shocking fans by bringing out John Legend
for an unforgettable duet. This has become the Brothers kind
of mantra. Every stop they've had, they've had a celebrity
guest pop on stage, but they sounded really amazing together.
(03:32):
It's pretty great. They went into I believe one of
their Monster Ballads. John joined on that.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Then five S O S.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Came out and joined for She Looks So Perfect. Legend
was on that as well. It was a packed night
at the arena.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I mean, John Legend is going to be able to
use that song till the end of time, right, Like
it's just become one of those old time classics that
will forever be in our world.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Finally, it is not quite over for the Coldplay kiss
cam drama. Kristen Cabot, the woman caught having the alleged
affair with that Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, has now filed
for divorce. The former head of HR for Astronomer filed
(04:21):
to separate from hubby Andrew Cabot at a court in
New Hampshire. The outlet claims the two have spoken and
decided this was not going to go any further. They're
not going to go into very much public detail about it,
but is done.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Seems like enough that that's been public. I think the
rest of it they should be.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
A yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
One of the comments was, yeah, she doesn't really seem
like wife material at the moment.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Star dot com points Chevin. It's Monday. We didn't win
the power ball. Maybe we're dragging a little bit. We're
here to lift you up a little bit, get you
moving all right, feeling good right now? Raval five points seven.
It's Mack and Schmidi And this is just cool our
John Ball Zoo. Not just amazing here locally, regionally, how
about globally John Ballzoo here in gr joning global efforts
(05:11):
to save an endangered turtle from Madagascar. Yeah, that's right.
Mattagascar is critically endangered radiated tortoise. Now, the zoo's conservation coordinator,
Faith Kazuma, we've actually had here in the studio a
couple of times. She's going to go to Mascar for
an entire month and use radio telemetry actually to track
the tortoises that are released back into the wild after
(05:33):
being rescued from the illegal pet trade, because these radiated
tortoises have been being smuggled by the tens of thousands
at times, basically a multi million dollar smuggling business that
is praying on these endangered turtles. So Faith work in
with the Turtle Survival Alliance and local communities. Her team
(05:55):
is going to monitor survival rates and operate soft release
centers throughout the Madagascar regions where these turtles can then
go and thrive. She talked about all this with Fox
seventeen and just how this is what she's meant to do.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I love being out in the field and it feels
like you're kind of on a scavenger hunt, looking at
the health of the tortoises that have been released, looking
at their movements. I'm definitely a person that needs to
feel like I'm making a difference in what I do.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
She certainly is. And if you're wondering to yourself, like Mac,
why should I care about these dang tortoises, Well, let's
get apocalyptic.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Shall we consider biodiversity to be like an airplane. If
one screw falls out of the airplane, you're probably fine.
But at a certain point, if you keep losing these
different species, or if you keep losing screws out of
your plane, something catastrophic is going to happen.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, there you go. That's why you got to make
sure that all the links in the chain fit so nicely.
So big shout out the John Ball Zoo and their
conservation coordinator Faith Kazuoma Off on that adventure.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Okay, I guarantee you've seen the video. Kristin Shanaki was
only three years old when her father, Ken Marino, a
New York City firefighter, was killed while responding to the
attacks on the World Trade Center back on September eleventh,
two thousand and one. Her mom, Katrina, never remarried and
eventually the family moved to Florida. Well, she became engaged
to her boyfriend and they went on a trip to
(07:13):
Manhattan together. That's when she came up with the idea,
let's get married here. My dad's body was never recovered,
so when I'm in New York, I always feel his presence.
It was an immediate yes from her fiance, and in
a TikTok that has now gone viral, Shnaky who admits
she was going to a lope not having a dad
to walk her down the aisle, but that was no
(07:35):
problem because both current and retired firefighters from her dad's firehouse,
Rescue One in New York showed up.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
To see her law. In the video, she emerges.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
From the Plaza Hotel to active and retired firefighters standing
up lined in uniform, tears eye every single face. She
said I know my dad was smiling down knowing that
I was taken care of. She said, thank you so
much to these brothers who have never once forgotten the
importance of the FDNY and my dad. It's pretty powerful stuff.
(08:16):
I put it up on our Instagram at West Michigan, Star.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
All right, I know it was not the greatest opener
for our Lions at Lambeau. That twenty seven to thirteen
loss is definitely hurt in Detroit hearts this morning. But
let's focus on the end. Fourth and three with a
minute left in the game, and it was Lion's quarterback
Jared Goff heaved it into the air to West Michigan's
(08:49):
own Isaac Tieslat in the end zone and check this out,
a one handed catch both beat in for his very
first career touchdown reception.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Here they bring it to go to the end zone. Wow,
is that Collot's caught?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I mean they to have a second look at that
after review. Rolling on the field is a touchdown? Whoa
oh Shane, what a great cuts Fellows, what a great
cuts Tesla for pigging able to have something to take
home with him. We were in his first game. Yeah,
and he's a Michigan kid actually worn in Hudsonville. I
(09:28):
love it.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Because I was so nervous watching that game live. I
was like, man, they better not say Grand Rampids. We've
got to give our love to Hudsonville and to slide
to just that even bigger. He is what saved the
lions forty six game regular season touchdown streak, which was
in grave danger of ending in that final minute. They
had not made a single touchdown the entire game, so
(09:51):
Isaac really stepped up and won that.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
His first touchdown ever is going to be one of
the best touchdowns of the entire years.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Oh highlight reel.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
ESPN is already saying really cool stuff man, and we
are super proud of him.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Back home.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Last night, the MTV VMAs went down and it was
Mariah Carey finally getting her shining moment, being given the
Van Guard Award, her very first MTV VMA ever. She
has been in the business thirty five years and has
never won a VMA, something she could not not bring up.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Thank you so much MTV for giving me the.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Van God Award.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
I can't believe I'm getting my first VMA tonight.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I just have one question.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Look in the sam hell were you waiting for?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, that's pretty wild.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Other big winners Video of the Year going to Ariana
Grande for Brighter Days Ahead, Got Go grabbed Artist of
the Year and Rose in Bruno Mar's apt Pipeta took
home Song.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Of the Year at the VMA's last night.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Honestly, that's on gets in your head, so it really does.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Finally, very interesting, yesterday, President Trump decided to make an
appearance at the US Open. Now, naturally politics are going
to be very divisive, and in some of the videos
that you can find online today you do hear a
mix of cheers and booze. But very interesting and when
a lot of people are talking about the US Tennis
(11:26):
Association actually sent out required guidance to broadcasters ahead of
time when they found out the President was going to
be making an appearance in the box, warning them not
to televise a single crowd reaction connected to his arrival.
Nothing like, do not put it on camera, do not
(11:46):
just wide lens it and then move on into the
court itself. So very interesting stuff. I do have a
few of the really great moments from that up with
your scoop at West Michigan Star doct good.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Morning to So it's back and Schmidty and I think
it's too early for a lot of things. You don't
think so.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Though I don't know. That's what I'm asking.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
How early is too early to be decorating for Halloween?
Because I've got to tell you. I walk out of
my house this morning. It's five after four, so I'm
already on edge because I can't stand walking out to
my car in the dark. Sometimes there's wildlife that catches
me off guard, or my neighbor's sprinkler system that turns
on out of nowhere. This morning, it was one of
(12:29):
those ginormous seventy two foot tall skeletons. And my next
door neighbors must have put this up love last night,
because I got home from a bridle shower and lansing
and then we were watching football, so I wasn't outside
after like six pm, and this thing was not there
when I pulled in. So I walk out this morning,
(12:51):
I turned that corner and I almost had to change
my pants, you guys, because I just was not expecting
it's one of those ones that is like motion activated,
so the little eyes will glow red at you.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
That's the whole reason I'm not ready for Halloween decorator.
We have a motion captured Yes kills me. At four
thirty eight.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I was like, oh my god, wow, like an absolute
hand to my heart, and I thought, okay, really, I
have a neighbor in my neighborhood. They're entire They're the
ones that go big. Their entire lawn house. Yeah, all
of their trees is covered. It was before Labor Day
this year. They had that up like August twenty eighth,
(13:31):
and so I posted a picture to our Facebook and
I said, is it too early or what? Because it
also stresses me out to know now that we're into
the burm month September, October, November, December, this is the
stress time because you know what happens parents. It's Halloween,
then it's Thanksgiving, then it's Christmas, and it's like seven days.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It feels like in between the fans.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Every filled with sports and clubs, something else.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I've got these comments on our Facebook. I said, is
there such a thing as too early? And Heather said,
all of my fall stuff out in September and then
Halloween touches are added in October. Dusty says her Halloween
stuff is out the last two weeks of September, and
Nikki decorates August first.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
She's got her Halloween sum August first.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Because now my problem is my kids want us to decorate,
right like will is begging us to go and buy
our second skeleton for the front porch furniture.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
You go pretty far kins out. We do.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
We love Halloween, It's like one of our most My
kids love the holiday.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
But I was not. I just took my American flags
down for Labor.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Day, those from fourth of July.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, no, I put my American stuff up all summer.
That's how I decorate. So yeah, it goes up Memorial Day,
comes down Labor Day. But am I really moving my
American flag for a pumpkin puking gus? I mean, how
early is too early?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
A fall corn of copia when it's seventy five or
eighty degrees outside looks really odd to wave on the flag.
I'll say that one spent four Halloween decorations October first.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
See, we're decorating this week.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I'm taking the kids out like today or tomorrow, we're
gonna get our stuff up. There's so I would say
probably a quarter of my neighborhood already has their stuff out.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Do you want to know why I have a hard
time having this conversation is because when I say things
like October first and that we should we should push
it back, I immediately feel like a hypocrite because of Christmas.
Feel like a massive hypocrite because of how early we
start Christmas.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Because like, when does your Christmas stuff go out?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
November? Here's like November first ever to go.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I mean, that's insane. So then Halloween gets like nothing.
And if it's my kid's favorite holiday, Linda, I love you.
There's never too early because we don't know what Michigan
weather is going to be anyway, so the rules don't
match true. Six one six, four five eight one oh
five seven. How early is too early? Do you already
have your Halloween stuff out?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Or are you judging the people that do? Give us
a call?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
The human torch was denied at Banklverdineadine, it's a weird
world and we're just living in it, just like the
rest of you. So let's give you the week's.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Best ad Bine a male guinea pig named Randy broke
into a female only enclosure and became a dad two hundreds.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
He's very randy.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah, that's the staff at Hattan Country World Zoo said
they noticed he was in a much better mood and
slimmer after the.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
ESCAPADEE Brazilian football legend named air of childless billionaire he
never met. Brazilian football star Neymar Junior has been named
the heir to a one point one four billion dollar fortune.
That's the dream because the billionaire felt like he uh
(16:50):
just had a connection to the soccer superstar on a
personal level. Not only when's the genetic lottery, but the
life lottery as well. Shmit, it's just not fairde.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Shreking is a new gen Z dating term that means
lowering your standards when choosing a partner. Could there be
anything more heart wrenching than someone looking at you and going,
I'm gonna need a Shrek for this.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I don't know if I'd married if it wasn't for shreking.
Schmidty Adye candy company offers workers unlimited chocolate expenses. Boston
based Unreal Snacks allows its seventy employees to expense unlimited
chocolate from any brand, not just their own press pretty
awesome perk. But what they don't tell you is they're
(17:34):
going to charge a triple for health insurance.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
By a prisoner who died and was brought back to
life is now arguing he had finished serving his life sentence.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
And I have zero arguments about it.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Technically true. By nurse performed CPR on drunk raccoon in Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Have you seen this?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I have not seen it yet.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
It's really good for Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Nurse yeah, found this raccoon after it fell over drunk
into a water filled dumpster, basically gave it CPR until
it came back to life. It was drunk unfermented peaches.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
In case you guys wondered what my algorithm looks like,
that's what I get served.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That's this week's best headlines. You see any out there,
by all means send them our way always at to
West Michigan Star. That one reminds me of college a litmit.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
E these music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Well, it was definitely the talk of late Friday night
Kansas City taking on the Chargers in an international game
in Brazil, and there was a bit of a scuffle
on the field when Chargers defensive tackle actually slapped Travis
Kelcey open handed across the helmet. Player's name is Tart
(18:54):
and you can hear even the announcers are shocked. He
was not ejected.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Why wasn't Tart tossed?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
And they looked at it, and according to Walt Anderson,
they said it because it was an open hand contact
to the head that was not disqualifying action.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Well, now Tart is learning. You mess with Travis, you
mess with the Swifties taking over the internet writing never
touch a Kelsey like that again, or you We'll have
the Swifties to deal with another user?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Who are you? What's your social handle? Another?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Look what you made us? Do you mess with Taylor's fiance?
You mess with us getting thousands of likes?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
It's pretty wild, we'll tell you. Though.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
The Chiefs ended up losing twenty seven to twenty one,
so the Chiefs taking.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
A week one loss.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I got a feeling Travis Kelcey would rather take ten
of those slaps than have to deal with the embarrassment
of watching Swifties come to his defense.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Tart merwancha U speaking of NFL action. Kelly Stafford, wife
of former Alliance quarterback Matthew Stafford, opening up about how
life in the NFL is affect her kids at school.
The quarterback now for the La Rams, was at the
center of some off season speculation claiming that the team
(20:10):
may have been trying to trade him, and in a
new podcast, Kelly is opening up about how bad back
to school was for the girls because.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Of it when there was speculation of Matthew getting traded
this past year, and then it was a headline that
his wife was the problem. And that's part of the reason.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
And listen, media is media.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
They're going to dig and do whatever they need to
do to make a story. But the kids at school
were like picking on them, being like, well, you're gonna
have to move because your mom doesn't shut her like
or your mom is an issue, like she's too loud
and whatever it likes. So my girls came home and there, Mommy,
are we having to move because because of you?
Speaker 4 (20:48):
And I was like because of me?
Speaker 6 (20:50):
And they're like yeah, like the Rams don't like you,
and I was.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Like, yeah, it's tough when you bring kids into it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
That's always such an unfair situation.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Is and it also makes it really hard to defend against.
But why is it that Kelly Stafford seems to pull
the drama from her respective fan bases everywhere she goes.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
It seems like Finally, last night was the MTV VMA's
and it was a really touching tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.
It actually kicked off with a video of Ozzie's son
Jack and his kids speaking to the crowd in a
pre recorded message. They weren't able to make the awards ceremony,
but thanked all of the fans for such an outpouring
of support since his dad's passing. And then Aerosmith's Stephen
(21:33):
Tyler came on stage with English singer Young Blood and
guitarist Joe Perry.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Check this out.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
I thought it was phenomenal, pretty incredible moment.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Honestly, I thought Stephen Tyler Arrowsmith had like the biggest
mouth in rock and roll right in there with Mick Jagger.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Then you looked at young Blood young Blood.

here on Star one on five point seven and all
week long with Battle of the Sexes. So on a
fine points seven. Good morning to you. It's Mac and
Schmidty and I think for obviously for Lions fans, but
for other fans as well. You waited for the last
(25:24):
six months just itching diy in for football to come back.
Also that I could be disappointing like it was this weekend.
I feel your pain. I think we're all in that
boat on this Monday morning.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Say Michigan State fans.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That's true, and that's actually something I would like to
talk about right now a little bit. It's Mack and
Smitty here on Star and I'm in a house divided.
I'm a big Michigan fan. My wife is a huge
Michigan State fan. We met each other at Michigan State,
and the difference between us is that she does not
care about football. She doesn't care about football really in
the least. She will root for the Spartans of course
when they're on, but uh, doesn't impact your dayly not?
(26:01):
Does it impact mine? Oh? Yes, yes it does. And
she likes to twist the needle. So I have a
hard time watching football with my wife regularly. So like,
the Michigan was losing and she's like, oh, not going
so good? Huh, and like, these are the last things
I want to hear when I'm trying to watch football game.
And then Michigan State she falls asleep through the whole game,
wakes up when they're about to go on the two
(26:21):
point conversion to win and double overtime, wakes up and goes, oh,
I knew they were gonna win it.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Yeah, she slept through the whole the late game.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
It was like a star And I was already bitter
after that. But then Schmiddy, the thing that really has
cemented that there's just no safe place for football for
me was my son Connor's first tackle football game. I'm
sitting next to my wife and every single play.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah with tackle football, Oh my god, it's so hot.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I'm like, oh, you protect that break, I protect that back.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
But there it was fine. It was just normal football games.
Anytime some kid would stay down on the ground for
longer than a second, she would be like out of
her seat, like are they okay?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Please sit down.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Dear god.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
There is not a single game of football that I
can watch and enjoy with my wife. She has ruined
all of it for me. Schmitty.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
She's not listening right now, is she?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Probably? I hope that on it. But this is what
I mean. Does Chris watch? Chris won't watch the Lions
versus Bears with you?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Correct, he won't watch, He won't know, and he won't
go to sporting events with me because I have a.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Mouth, cause he thinks you're gonna get him into a
fist fight.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Does I think I've proven it a couple of times.
It's got a little. I get a little annoying when
people come at me.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
My wire's out here watching out for other people's kids. Meanwhile,
you're out here try against a fight. What is there?
The sun is shining on a brand new week and
we're looking to brighten things not even more feeling good
right now, it's Startar five point seven and.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
It's pretty amazing.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
And you know that we've seen such cool things come
from some of our Lions players, and this time it's
quarterback Jared Goff, of course, taking the feel old last
knife for Week one of the NFL. And although it
wasn't a victory for the Lions, off the field, he
had a very special person cheering him on and his
name is Trenton.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
See.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
A year ago, Trenton Cooper was facing an unbelievable moment.
His heart was failing. He was twenty three years old
and put on life support while he was moved to
the top of the transplant list. It was an agonizing
two week wait for a heart match when Jared reached
(28:32):
out to Trenton with this amazing message.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
Hey, Trent, how are you doing? This is Jared Goff.
I wanted to send you a message. I heard you're
a big fan of ours and a big fan of mine,
and I heard you're waiting on a transplant. I just
want to let you know that we're all rooting for you.
I hope this is a little bit of encouragement for
you to hang in there, keep fighting. That transplant will
come and we're rooting for you here at the Lions,
and I know I'm certainly rooting for you, and.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
It did come.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Trenton got his heart core. Well, I'll sharing that video
yesterday in honor of the Lions opening the season seeing
Trenton is so thankful to the doctors, nurses and other
team members for saving his life and Trenton, I mean,
that was really cool, right guys, Jared Goff takes time
out of his day to send me an encouragement video
that was everything, I.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Mean, unbelievable. I And to have him get that heart
right there too.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Very cool moment.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Awesome, all right, Spinny. Obviously a lot to talk about
the power Ball with that third biggest drawing ever just
going down last night and all right, excuse me on
Saturday night and then finding out that it wasn't you. Well,
back in August, one of the one million dollar winners
happened to be ten staff members from Cresview Elementary there
in Ashland, Ohio, and they'd been playing together for years,
(29:42):
including when they got together they had another member, a
late colleague, a kindergarten teacher, Mary Joe Manchio, who passed
away from cancer back in twenty twenty one. But here's
the thing. The group always paid for her share so
she'd remain a part of the team even after her passing,
and that's continued for years until again they won a
(30:03):
million bucks, winning that ticket purchased at a gas station
in their hometown, matching all five white balls for a
million dollar prize. And one of those teachers, Karen Radar,
she organized the pool, said she discovered the win while
she was on the phone with her daughter, texting that
group text of quote unquote future millionaires as it saved
under her phone, and the members were all stunned, but
(30:25):
they all decided the same thing. After taxes, each person's
going to take home about seventy two thousand bucks. But
Manchiano's family is going to go to Her share is
going to go to her four adult children who're going
to use that money for a memorial for their late
mom or a family trip in her honor, because that's
(30:45):
what Mary Joe would have loved, her former colleague, Radar said,
said her devotion to family and students definitely lives on
and now seventy two thousand bucks go into their late
colleagues family nice, very cool, waited pat her respects and
a tribute there feeling good, always here to tell you
about something awesome going on out there. Let's do it tomorrow,
(31:05):
six forty five at nine twenty Every weekday right here
on Star one O five point seven Mack and Schmidty
in the morning weekday starting at six am on Star
one oh five point seven
Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh
of it.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven, Well, good morning to use, good morning,
welcome into your Monday. And you know what it's called
out there, attempts in the low forties this morning. It's
a bit risk, you could tell.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I mean, I had to turn on my heat, my
seat warmers, but that ain't gonna be the case this week,
So enjoy because it's funny. My son had a birthday
party on Saturday and they had like a blow up.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
House, a foam pen, sprinklers, and it.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Was like sixty degrees and the dad when we got
there was like, yeah, so next week and it's gonna
be eighty, which is what we were kind of thinking
this weekend would be. But whatever, kids don't have nerve ending,
so they absolutely loved it.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Oh, I was gonna say, it still sounds like a
blast I mean a foam party.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, just a little jillie. But that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It's gonna be warming up this week, so we are
back to maybe a little bit of that summer field.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I told you last week not to flip that word
for hope, you guys.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I rocked the hoodie and shorts all week long. Just
on that recommendation Schmidti, it'll pay off for you too.
His today near seventy lots of sunshine coming in this week.
I don't see a single day that has a six
in front of it for the high just a bunch
of seventy degree days, maybe even mother Nature slipping it
in a couple of eighty degree days. So some are
not done with this quite yet.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Well it was back last night.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
The MTV Video Music Awards officially going down with some
big winners including Artist of the Year going to Gaga,
Song of the Year going to Rose and Bruno mars
apt and Best New Artist going to Alex Warren. But
one of the big moments of the night Video of
(01:53):
the Year, something the VMA's always say for their biggest award,
and it was Ariana Grande for Bright Days Ahead. She
beat out Kendrick Sabrina Carpenter in the weekend, but unfortunately
for Ari that microphone was just a little too tall
for the little nugget.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Does this get taller? Every time.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Is this intentional on her tiptoes to thank fans for
that one? But big night, tons of stars. Even Gaga
showed up to accept and then literally ran down the
street to Madison Square Garden because she had a show
that night.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You know, I saw that, like MTV and MTV two
and some of the other channels, we're gonna start showing
like NonStop music videos leading up to the VMAs. I
don't think I've sat and watched a music video all
the way through in a long time. I haven't even
seen that one that Ariana Grande won it.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
We we have, just because our kids have gotten very
into music videos, Like we will sit at night and
watch like four or five of them because they're like,
what is this?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I was like, this is how he used to be done.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
The Jonas Brothers pulling out all the stops in La
over the weekend, shocking fans by bringing out John Legend
for an unforgettable duet. This has become the Brothers kind
of mantra. Every stop they've had, they've had a celebrity
guest pop on stage, but they sounded really amazing together.
(03:32):
It's pretty great. They went into I believe one of
their Monster Ballads. John joined on that.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Then five S O S.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Came out and joined for She Looks So Perfect. Legend
was on that as well. It was a packed night
at the arena.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I mean, John Legend is going to be able to
use that song till the end of time, right, Like
it's just become one of those old time classics that
will forever be in our world.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Finally, it is not quite over for the Coldplay kiss
cam drama. Kristen Cabot, the woman caught having the alleged
affair with that Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, has now filed
for divorce. The former head of HR for Astronomer filed
(04:21):
to separate from hubby Andrew Cabot at a court in
New Hampshire. The outlet claims the two have spoken and
decided this was not going to go any further. They're
not going to go into very much public detail about it,
but is done.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Seems like enough that that's been public. I think the
rest of it they should be.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
A yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
One of the comments was, yeah, she doesn't really seem
like wife material at the moment.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Star dot com points Chevin. It's Monday. We didn't win
the power ball. Maybe we're dragging a little bit. We're
here to lift you up a little bit, get you
moving all right, feeling good right now? Raval five points seven.
It's Mack and Schmidi And this is just cool our
John Ball Zoo. Not just amazing here locally, regionally, how
about globally John Ballzoo here in gr joning global efforts
(05:11):
to save an endangered turtle from Madagascar. Yeah, that's right.
Mattagascar is critically endangered radiated tortoise. Now, the zoo's conservation coordinator,
Faith Kazuma, we've actually had here in the studio a
couple of times. She's going to go to Mascar for
an entire month and use radio telemetry actually to track
the tortoises that are released back into the wild after
(05:33):
being rescued from the illegal pet trade, because these radiated
tortoises have been being smuggled by the tens of thousands
at times, basically a multi million dollar smuggling business that
is praying on these endangered turtles. So Faith work in
with the Turtle Survival Alliance and local communities. Her team
(05:55):
is going to monitor survival rates and operate soft release
centers throughout the Madagascar regions where these turtles can then
go and thrive. She talked about all this with Fox
seventeen and just how this is what she's meant to do.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I love being out in the field and it feels
like you're kind of on a scavenger hunt, looking at
the health of the tortoises that have been released, looking
at their movements. I'm definitely a person that needs to
feel like I'm making a difference in what I do.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
She certainly is. And if you're wondering to yourself, like Mac,
why should I care about these dang tortoises, Well, let's
get apocalyptic.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Shall we consider biodiversity to be like an airplane. If
one screw falls out of the airplane, you're probably fine.
But at a certain point, if you keep losing these
different species, or if you keep losing screws out of
your plane, something catastrophic is going to happen.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, there you go. That's why you got to make
sure that all the links in the chain fit so nicely.
So big shout out the John Ball Zoo and their
conservation coordinator Faith Kazuoma Off on that adventure.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Okay, I guarantee you've seen the video. Kristin Shanaki was
only three years old when her father, Ken Marino, a
New York City firefighter, was killed while responding to the
attacks on the World Trade Center back on September eleventh,
two thousand and one. Her mom, Katrina, never remarried and
eventually the family moved to Florida. Well, she became engaged
to her boyfriend and they went on a trip to
(07:13):
Manhattan together. That's when she came up with the idea,
let's get married here. My dad's body was never recovered,
so when I'm in New York, I always feel his presence.
It was an immediate yes from her fiance, and in
a TikTok that has now gone viral, Shnaky who admits
she was going to a lope not having a dad
to walk her down the aisle, but that was no
(07:35):
problem because both current and retired firefighters from her dad's firehouse,
Rescue One in New York showed up.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
To see her law. In the video, she emerges.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
From the Plaza Hotel to active and retired firefighters standing
up lined in uniform, tears eye every single face. She
said I know my dad was smiling down knowing that
I was taken care of. She said, thank you so
much to these brothers who have never once forgotten the
importance of the FDNY and my dad. It's pretty powerful stuff.
(08:16):
I put it up on our Instagram at West Michigan, Star.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
All right, I know it was not the greatest opener
for our Lions at Lambeau. That twenty seven to thirteen
loss is definitely hurt in Detroit hearts this morning. But
let's focus on the end. Fourth and three with a
minute left in the game, and it was Lion's quarterback
Jared Goff heaved it into the air to West Michigan's
(08:49):
own Isaac Tieslat in the end zone and check this out,
a one handed catch both beat in for his very
first career touchdown reception.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Here they bring it to go to the end zone. Wow,
is that Collot's caught?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I mean they to have a second look at that
after review. Rolling on the field is a touchdown? Whoa
oh Shane, what a great cuts Fellows, what a great
cuts Tesla for pigging able to have something to take
home with him. We were in his first game. Yeah,
and he's a Michigan kid actually worn in Hudsonville. I
(09:28):
love it.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Because I was so nervous watching that game live. I
was like, man, they better not say Grand Rampids. We've
got to give our love to Hudsonville and to slide
to just that even bigger. He is what saved the
lions forty six game regular season touchdown streak, which was
in grave danger of ending in that final minute. They
had not made a single touchdown the entire game, so
(09:51):
Isaac really stepped up and won that.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
His first touchdown ever is going to be one of
the best touchdowns of the entire years.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Oh highlight reel.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
ESPN is already saying really cool stuff man, and we
are super proud of him.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Back home.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Last night, the MTV VMAs went down and it was
Mariah Carey finally getting her shining moment, being given the
Van Guard Award, her very first MTV VMA ever. She
has been in the business thirty five years and has
never won a VMA, something she could not not bring up.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Thank you so much MTV for giving me the.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Van God Award.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
I can't believe I'm getting my first VMA tonight.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I just have one question.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Look in the sam hell were you waiting for?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, that's pretty wild.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Other big winners Video of the Year going to Ariana
Grande for Brighter Days Ahead, Got Go grabbed Artist of
the Year and Rose in Bruno Mar's apt Pipeta took
home Song.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Of the Year at the VMA's last night.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Honestly, that's on gets in your head, so it really does.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Finally, very interesting, yesterday, President Trump decided to make an
appearance at the US Open. Now, naturally politics are going
to be very divisive, and in some of the videos
that you can find online today you do hear a
mix of cheers and booze. But very interesting and when
a lot of people are talking about the US Tennis
(11:26):
Association actually sent out required guidance to broadcasters ahead of
time when they found out the President was going to
be making an appearance in the box, warning them not
to televise a single crowd reaction connected to his arrival.
Nothing like, do not put it on camera, do not
(11:46):
just wide lens it and then move on into the
court itself. So very interesting stuff. I do have a
few of the really great moments from that up with
your scoop at West Michigan Star doct good.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Morning to So it's back and Schmidty and I think
it's too early for a lot of things. You don't
think so.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Though I don't know. That's what I'm asking.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
How early is too early to be decorating for Halloween?
Because I've got to tell you. I walk out of
my house this morning. It's five after four, so I'm
already on edge because I can't stand walking out to
my car in the dark. Sometimes there's wildlife that catches
me off guard, or my neighbor's sprinkler system that turns
on out of nowhere. This morning, it was one of
(12:29):
those ginormous seventy two foot tall skeletons. And my next
door neighbors must have put this up love last night,
because I got home from a bridle shower and lansing
and then we were watching football, so I wasn't outside
after like six pm, and this thing was not there
when I pulled in. So I walk out this morning,
(12:51):
I turned that corner and I almost had to change
my pants, you guys, because I just was not expecting
it's one of those ones that is like motion activated,
so the little eyes will glow red at you.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
That's the whole reason I'm not ready for Halloween decorator.
We have a motion captured Yes kills me. At four
thirty eight.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I was like, oh my god, wow, like an absolute
hand to my heart, and I thought, okay, really, I
have a neighbor in my neighborhood. They're entire They're the
ones that go big. Their entire lawn house. Yeah, all
of their trees is covered. It was before Labor Day
this year. They had that up like August twenty eighth,
(13:31):
and so I posted a picture to our Facebook and
I said, is it too early or what? Because it
also stresses me out to know now that we're into
the burm month September, October, November, December, this is the
stress time because you know what happens parents. It's Halloween,
then it's Thanksgiving, then it's Christmas, and it's like seven days.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It feels like in between the fans.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Every filled with sports and clubs, something else.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I've got these comments on our Facebook. I said, is
there such a thing as too early? And Heather said,
all of my fall stuff out in September and then
Halloween touches are added in October. Dusty says her Halloween
stuff is out the last two weeks of September, and
Nikki decorates August first.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
She's got her Halloween sum August first.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Because now my problem is my kids want us to decorate,
right like will is begging us to go and buy
our second skeleton for the front porch furniture.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
You go pretty far kins out. We do.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
We love Halloween, It's like one of our most My
kids love the holiday.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
But I was not. I just took my American flags
down for Labor.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Day, those from fourth of July.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, no, I put my American stuff up all summer.
That's how I decorate. So yeah, it goes up Memorial Day,
comes down Labor Day. But am I really moving my
American flag for a pumpkin puking gus? I mean, how
early is too early?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
A fall corn of copia when it's seventy five or
eighty degrees outside looks really odd to wave on the flag.
I'll say that one spent four Halloween decorations October first.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
See, we're decorating this week.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I'm taking the kids out like today or tomorrow, we're
gonna get our stuff up. There's so I would say
probably a quarter of my neighborhood already has their stuff out.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Do you want to know why I have a hard
time having this conversation is because when I say things
like October first and that we should we should push
it back, I immediately feel like a hypocrite because of Christmas.
Feel like a massive hypocrite because of how early we
start Christmas.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Because like, when does your Christmas stuff go out?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
November? Here's like November first ever to go.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I mean, that's insane. So then Halloween gets like nothing.
And if it's my kid's favorite holiday, Linda, I love you.
There's never too early because we don't know what Michigan
weather is going to be anyway, so the rules don't
match true. Six one six, four five eight one oh
five seven. How early is too early? Do you already
have your Halloween stuff out?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Or are you judging the people that do? Give us
a call?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
The human torch was denied at Banklverdineadine, it's a weird
world and we're just living in it, just like the
rest of you. So let's give you the week's.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Best ad Bine a male guinea pig named Randy broke
into a female only enclosure and became a dad two hundreds.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
He's very randy.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah, that's the staff at Hattan Country World Zoo said
they noticed he was in a much better mood and
slimmer after the.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
ESCAPADEE Brazilian football legend named air of childless billionaire he
never met. Brazilian football star Neymar Junior has been named
the heir to a one point one four billion dollar fortune.
That's the dream because the billionaire felt like he uh
(16:50):
just had a connection to the soccer superstar on a
personal level. Not only when's the genetic lottery, but the
life lottery as well. Shmit, it's just not fairde.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Shreking is a new gen Z dating term that means
lowering your standards when choosing a partner. Could there be
anything more heart wrenching than someone looking at you and going,
I'm gonna need a Shrek for this.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I don't know if I'd married if it wasn't for shreking.
Schmidty Adye candy company offers workers unlimited chocolate expenses. Boston
based Unreal Snacks allows its seventy employees to expense unlimited
chocolate from any brand, not just their own press pretty
awesome perk. But what they don't tell you is they're

Technically true. By nurse performed CPR on drunk raccoon in Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Have you seen this?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I have not seen it yet.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
It's really good for Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Nurse yeah, found this raccoon after it fell over drunk
into a water filled dumpster, basically gave it CPR until
it came back to life. It was drunk unfermented peaches.
Speaker 3 (18:09):

Well, it was definitely the talk of late Friday night
Kansas City taking on the Chargers in an international game
in Brazil, and there was a bit of a scuffle
on the field when Chargers defensive tackle actually slapped Travis
Kelcey open handed across the helmet. Player's name is Tart
(18:54):
and you can hear even the announcers are shocked. He
was not ejected.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Why wasn't Tart tossed?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
And they looked at it, and according to Walt Anderson,
they said it because it was an open hand contact
to the head that was not disqualifying action.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Well, now Tart is learning. You mess with Travis, you
mess with the Swifties taking over the internet writing never
touch a Kelsey like that again, or you We'll have
the Swifties to deal with another user?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Who are you? What's your social handle? Another?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Look what you made us? Do you mess with Taylor's fiance?
You mess with us getting thousands of likes?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
It's pretty wild, we'll tell you. Though.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
The Chiefs ended up losing twenty seven to twenty one,
so the Chiefs taking.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
A week one loss.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I got a feeling Travis Kelcey would rather take ten
of those slaps than have to deal with the embarrassment
of watching Swifties come to his defense.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Tart merwancha U speaking of NFL action. Kelly Stafford, wife
of former Alliance quarterback Matthew Stafford, opening up about how
life in the NFL is affect her kids at school.
The quarterback now for the La Rams, was at the
center of some off season speculation claiming that the team
(20:10):
may have been trying to trade him, and in a
new podcast, Kelly is opening up about how bad back
to school was for the girls because.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Of it when there was speculation of Matthew getting traded
this past year, and then it was a headline that
his wife was the problem. And that's part of the reason.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
And listen, media is media.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
They're going to dig and do whatever they need to
do to make a story. But the kids at school
were like picking on them, being like, well, you're gonna
have to move because your mom doesn't shut her like
or your mom is an issue, like she's too loud
and whatever it likes. So my girls came home and there, Mommy,
are we having to move because because of you?
Speaker 4 (20:48):
And I was like because of me?
Speaker 6 (20:50):
And they're like yeah, like the Rams don't like you,
and I was.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Like, yeah, it's tough when you bring kids into it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
That's always such an unfair situation.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Is and it also makes it really hard to defend against.
But why is it that Kelly Stafford seems to pull
the drama from her respective fan bases everywhere she goes.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
It seems like Finally, last night was the MTV VMA's
and it was a really touching tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.
It actually kicked off with a video of Ozzie's son
Jack and his kids speaking to the crowd in a
pre recorded message. They weren't able to make the awards ceremony,
but thanked all of the fans for such an outpouring
of support since his dad's passing. And then Aerosmith's Stephen
(21:33):
Tyler came on stage with English singer Young Blood and
guitarist Joe Perry.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Check this out.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
I thought it was phenomenal, pretty incredible moment.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Honestly, I thought Stephen Tyler Arrowsmith had like the biggest
mouth in rock and roll right in there with Mick Jagger.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Then you looked at young Blood young Blood.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, cow, that dude looks like you can eat a
bowling ball.
Speaker 3 (22:18):

to send the family. Six one, six, four, five, eight,
one oh five seven.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
One hundred men surveyed. Name something you could do for
twelve hours straight?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Something I could do for twelve hours straight. The first
thing in my head was sleep, but I can never
sleep for twelve hours.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I was thinking like nurses in those incredibly pressured Yeah,
high pressure jobs could not be us. Six one, six,
four five eight, one five seven. We've got one hundred
men surveyed. Name something you could do for twelve hours straight?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Good morning Star? Who's this hey for?
Speaker 6 (23:23):
Chelsea?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Chelsea? Where you're coming from today? All right? Chelsea? One
hundred guys were asked name something a person might do
for twelve hours straight. I think it's sleep, You think
it's sleep. And that's what I was thinking. It was too,
but sleep is the number three most common answer.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Today, Chelsea, thank you.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Thank you, Hi Star. Who's this, Furrie? I just got
a good guest from Chelsea a hunter. Guys were asked
to name something a person might do for twelve hours straight,
and Chelsea said sleep, which was what I was thinking.
But that was the number four most common answer. So
what do you think it is?
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Okay, I was a guy, I would say fish, go fishing.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Oh Man, twelve hours to just go fishing sounds phenomenal,
but that's not on the list. I like where your
head's at that. Thank you, thank you, Hi Star. Who's
this Neil?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Neil?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
All right, we got our first guy guessing. After one
hundred guys. We're asked to name something a person might
do for twelve hours straight. Neil, it is not sleep
and it is not fish. What do you think? The
top answer is? Uh? Drive, drive. What's the longest consecutive
drive you think you've made there, Neil, Oh, probably eight
or so, only eight hours or so. See, I've rocked
(24:39):
that twenty four hour trip down to Florida a couple
of times, and that's that's a lot. A little too much.
I wouldn't do that anymore, but drive. It's the top answer. Neil,
congrats you go to playoff baseball, sir? Great heck yes,
our West Michigan white Caps in the midst of a
historic season, hoping to extend it a little bit longer.
Game two Thursday night at lmcu Ballpark. Neil, you've got
(25:02):
four tickets. Awesome. Yeah, it's gonna be a blast and
we'll try and get you in a little later today too.
Another chance to win coming up at twelve fifteen today
here on Star one on five point seven and all
week long with Battle of the Sexes. So on a
fine points seven. Good morning to you. It's Mac and
Schmidty and I think for obviously for Lions fans, but
for other fans as well. You waited for the last
(25:24):
six months just itching diy in for football to come back.
Also that I could be disappointing like it was this weekend.
I feel your pain. I think we're all in that
boat on this Monday morning.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Say Michigan State fans.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That's true, and that's actually something I would like to
talk about right now a little bit. It's Mack and
Smitty here on Star and I'm in a house divided.
I'm a big Michigan fan. My wife is a huge
Michigan State fan. We met each other at Michigan State,
and the difference between us is that she does not
care about football. She doesn't care about football really in
the least. She will root for the Spartans of course
when they're on, but uh, doesn't impact your dayly not?
(26:01):
Does it impact mine? Oh? Yes, yes it does. And
she likes to twist the needle. So I have a
hard time watching football with my wife regularly. So like,
the Michigan was losing and she's like, oh, not going
so good? Huh, and like, these are the last things
I want to hear when I'm trying to watch football game.
And then Michigan State she falls asleep through the whole game,
wakes up when they're about to go on the two
(26:21):
point conversion to win and double overtime, wakes up and goes, oh,
I knew they were gonna win it.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Yeah, she slept through the whole the late game.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
It was like a star And I was already bitter
after that. But then Schmiddy, the thing that really has
cemented that there's just no safe place for football for
me was my son Connor's first tackle football game. I'm
sitting next to my wife and every single play.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah with tackle football, Oh my god, it's so hot.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I'm like, oh, you protect that break, I protect that back.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
But there it was fine. It was just normal football games.
Anytime some kid would stay down on the ground for
longer than a second, she would be like out of
her seat, like are they okay?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Please sit down.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Dear god.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
There is not a single game of football that I
can watch and enjoy with my wife. She has ruined
all of it for me. Schmitty.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
She's not listening right now, is she?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Probably? I hope that on it. But this is what
I mean. Does Chris watch? Chris won't watch the Lions
versus Bears with you?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Correct, he won't watch, He won't know, and he won't
go to sporting events with me because I have a.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Mouth, cause he thinks you're gonna get him into a
fist fight.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Does I think I've proven it a couple of times.
It's got a little. I get a little annoying when
people come at me.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
My wire's out here watching out for other people's kids. Meanwhile,
you're out here try against a fight. What is there?
The sun is shining on a brand new week and
we're looking to brighten things not even more feeling good
right now, it's Startar five point seven and.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
It's pretty amazing.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
And you know that we've seen such cool things come
from some of our Lions players, and this time it's
quarterback Jared Goff, of course, taking the feel old last
knife for Week one of the NFL. And although it
wasn't a victory for the Lions, off the field, he
had a very special person cheering him on and his
name is Trenton.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
See.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
A year ago, Trenton Cooper was facing an unbelievable moment.
His heart was failing. He was twenty three years old
and put on life support while he was moved to
the top of the transplant list. It was an agonizing
two week wait for a heart match when Jared reached
(28:32):
out to Trenton with this amazing message.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
Hey, Trent, how are you doing? This is Jared Goff.
I wanted to send you a message. I heard you're
a big fan of ours and a big fan of mine,
and I heard you're waiting on a transplant. I just
want to let you know that we're all rooting for you.
I hope this is a little bit of encouragement for
you to hang in there, keep fighting. That transplant will
come and we're rooting for you here at the Lions,
and I know I'm certainly rooting for you, and.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
It did come.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Trenton got his heart core. Well, I'll sharing that video
yesterday in honor of the Lions opening the season seeing
Trenton is so thankful to the doctors, nurses and other
team members for saving his life and Trenton, I mean,
that was really cool, right guys, Jared Goff takes time
out of his day to send me an encouragement video
that was everything, I.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Mean, unbelievable. I And to have him get that heart
right there too.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Very cool moment.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Awesome, all right, Spinny. Obviously a lot to talk about
the power Ball with that third biggest drawing ever just
going down last night and all right, excuse me on
Saturday night and then finding out that it wasn't you. Well,
back in August, one of the one million dollar winners
happened to be ten staff members from Cresview Elementary there
in Ashland, Ohio, and they'd been playing together for years,
(29:42):
including when they got together they had another member, a
late colleague, a kindergarten teacher, Mary Joe Manchio, who passed
away from cancer back in twenty twenty one. But here's
the thing. The group always paid for her share so
she'd remain a part of the team even after her passing,
and that's continued for years until again they won a
(30:03):
million bucks, winning that ticket purchased at a gas station
in their hometown, matching all five white balls for a
million dollar prize. And one of those teachers, Karen Radar,
she organized the pool, said she discovered the win while
she was on the phone with her daughter, texting that
group text of quote unquote future millionaires as it saved
under her phone, and the members were all stunned, but
(30:25):
they all decided the same thing. After taxes, each person's
going to take home about seventy two thousand bucks. But
Manchiano's family is going to go to Her share is
going to go to her four adult children who're going
to use that money for a memorial for their late
mom or a family trip in her honor, because that's
(30:45):
what Mary Joe would have loved, her former colleague, Radar said,
said her devotion to family and students definitely lives on
and now seventy two thousand bucks go into their late
colleagues family nice, very cool, waited pat her respects and
a tribute there feeling good, always here to tell you
about something awesome going on out there. Let's do it tomorrow,
