Speaker 1 (00:03):
Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh
all of it.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Mac and Schmidty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven, Good morning, Welcome into your Wednesday. Did
you have storms up in your neck of the woods
last night?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:21):
No, two nights ago it was bad for us, but
we didn't get almost done anything last night.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Interesting. Yeah, and I'm not surprised because over in my
neck of the woods, over in the Forest Hills area,
we got massive, massive downpourse, some thunder, some lightning, a
big power outage that lasted for some time. And my
uh my wife texted her younger brother who lives in
downtown Grand Rapids. He's like, nothing has it? Then rained
a little bit here. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I gave a shout out yesterday morning to storm teammates
Matt Kirkwood, because he's very honest. He goes, Yeah, depending
on where you're at, you'll get something maybe. And if
that's not just West Michigan in general, because I know
that there was flooding in the east Grand Rapids area
last night. I was at a meeting with one of
my good friends and she's getting texts from her boyfriend
and he's like, hey, is everything cool over there and
(01:10):
we were literally at NAP's corner with.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Nothing, well like, yess pretty nice?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Oh yeah, I don't know who knows you guys. Nobody
knows how to dress, nobody knows whether to bring an umbrella.
We're all living the same life.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You'll get something somewhere is an accurate statement for sure.
And our friends have started team mate. That'll get to
the latest coming out this morning, though I expect basically
maybe a little fog patchy here and there, but otherwise
these clouds will move out of the way. Give us
some sum this afternoon. Ie today into the low seventy.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It's the Celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Well, it was a return to late night last night
for Jimmy Kimmel, back after ABC placed the show on
an indefinite hiatus over his comments regarding the death of
Charlie Kirk. A lot to get into here. Jimmy, even
getting a bit emotional at one point point, did not, however,
issue any specific apology. I told you yesterday that he
(02:06):
was not planning to step back on any of the
comments that he made, but more so talk about that
freedom of speech to kick things off, though he still
went the comic move anyway.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
As I was saying before I was interrupted, if you're
just joining us, we are preempting your regularly scheduled encore
episode of Celebrity Family Feud to bring you this special report.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
I'm happy to be here tonight with you. I'm not
sure who had a weirder forty eight hours, me or
the CEO of tailand Hall.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
A lot of special guests and celebrity guests joining. I
will have more next hour on the emotional side of this.
But speaking of that preempted by Celebrity Family Feud joke
still ongoing. It was announced yesterday Sinclair will not be
airing Jimmy Kimmel, and late yesterday Next Star pulling back
(03:01):
as well, Worth pointing out WOTV here in Town is
a next to our own station. They did not show
Jimmy Kimmel last night.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Be interested to know what the percentage of Sinclair in
next our stations is that.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Oh, Sinclaire has thirty eight ABC affiliates across the country,
and Next Star I think is around that same numbers.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Just curious just because of how many people had it
blocked out because you could get it over I guess
a regular signal or through DirecTV or something like that.
But I think a lot of people rely on those
cable networks.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Fans who adore Sabrina Carpenter for her bold lyrics and
self expression will also love her authenticity, she hopes. Sabrina
sat down with Vogue Italy for a very open interview yesterday,
saying she is in a very serious period of introspection
focused on authentically creating, and she knows she may change
(03:51):
her mind about things each and every month and it
will be reflected in her work. A lot of people,
by the way, if you've seen this spread, are saying,
my gosh, this is Bridget Barneaux of our generation. Her
song lyrics, she says, seem like they're pulled right out
of a personal diary. But she said a lot of
her life is kept very very personal. She said, for instance,
if you've ever been to one of my shows, they
(04:12):
can sort of feel like I'm playing a character, which
is true. But the second that I'm done singing and
just speaking to the audience, that is all me. Things
that I did that day, things that I'm feeling in
that moment, those are the things I specifically save just
for myself and for my fans. That is one hundred
and ten percent my authentic self. She also says that
(04:35):
her friends and family keep her authentic, the ones who
manage her quote unquote crazy mind. The only way that
she can stay honest in a world like this is
because of those very important people.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I had to google Bridget Bordeaux.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Borgia.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I did, But you know what, I'm looking at her
and I can see the resemblance. But I like the
fact that I hope a lot of people are making
those comparisons right now, because I hope that ninety year
old Bridget Bordeaux is out there, like, yes, yes.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
She looks phenomenal, and like I saw these pictures and
I thought, wow, I would not have guessed that's Sabrina Carpenter.
She looks so sixties seventies good. I'll put it up
at West Michigan Star dot com. And finally, Jordan Hudson
girlfriend famous or infamous, depending on how you look at it.
Bill Belichick has now set her sights on a new
(05:24):
career move. According to a filing in Massachusetts, she has
created an LLC called Spring Street Seafood Company, and she
tend expects to have businesses that will produce both written
and audio visually worked stuff called Razor o Fidian's version.
(05:45):
So it sounds like she's getting into the reptile business.
I can't deny or confirm this, but a lot of
people have been looking into this going okay, and you know,
unfortunately this will come with the ground. Of course, this
is why she's been dating Bill Belichick for two years.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I don't know if i'd say that's the reason why,
but I do think the whole Jordan Jordan thing is crazy,
just because I've never seen a wife or a girlfriend
be out on the fields while their husband or something.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yeah, last weekend she was right down there and her
thigh high boots.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Every weekend she's talking to him in the middle of
a game, like I do not think if I was
the athletic director of a school, I'd be cool about that.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
All right, all of your CELEBSCU but West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Star dot Com, that's time to get you feeling good.
Here on starweofon point seven. It's Mack and Schmidty. Of course,
West Michigan's official Christmas station, and we know that the
official Christmas tree at the White House this year is
coming from West Michigan. It's an update from a story
we gave you a couple months back when Corson's Tree
Farms outside of Sydney, Michigan, in Montcalm County won the
(06:46):
honor of being named the Grand Champion in the National
Christmas Tree Association's competition this summer, which means they get
to have the official Christmas tree at the White House.
Dale Haiti, who is the White House Superintendent of Grounds,
actually came to the farm yesterday to officially select the
White House Christmas tree for twenty twenty five. Rex and
(07:06):
Jessica Corsion, the husband and wife co owners of the farm, said,
the honor of providing the Christmas tree to the White
House is absolutely huge, and it's really a testament to
the hard work of their staff, who they say is
like family. And the decision on which tree actually goes
to DC. I didn't realize this, but it was actually
ultimately up to Dale Hanny again, so he selected a
(07:27):
twenty two year older or con color fur that stands
well above the twenty feet desired. It's twenty two feet,
but it's got the perfect color green. I guess is
very symmetrical, and it's exactly what they were looking for.
Rex actually said it was not one of the trees
he thought would ultimately be chosen, but this is the
one that is going to be headed. They actually marked
(07:49):
it with a bow so you could drive by and
actually see the tree that will be there. Because this
is not going to happen right away. This is not
the first attempt for the Corsons trying to pick up
this credible honor. But they've got a journey ahead for
this tree. As they told Fox seventeen.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
We had the reserve Grand Champion the tree in twenty fifteen,
so we have been close before, but to kind of
actually to break through and actually win, and I have
the honor of presenting the official White House Christmas Tree.
The GA's going in the Blue Room. It's pretty amazing.
It'll get harvested and cut the week before Thanksgiving. We'll
send it to DC. They'll stage and prepare the tree,
and then the Monday before Thanksgiving, the tree gets put
(08:28):
on a horse drawn wagon and brought up to the
front of the White House and that's when we'll present
the tree to Malania.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
For the record, this is the first time a Michigan
Farm actually going to have the official White House Christmas
tree since nineteen eighty five, forty years.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
All right, I've talked about this guy before. Brian Huffman
is a Holid based ophthalmologist making some serious waves in
West Michigan and beyond because his campaign Swimming for Future Swimmers.
He has been swimming for the past few years to
raise money for swim lessons at the Holland To Aquatic Center.
Swimming's been a long part of Huffman's life, dating back
(09:04):
to middle school, but he realized some very shocking statistics.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
Drowning is the number one cause of death for kids
one to four, and it's second only to car accidents
in kids five through fourteen. So it happens all the time,
and it happens all the time right here in Lake Michigan.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
I mean, we do live in the Great Lake State,
and it can be terribly, terribly frightening to think of
kids not able to swim. So not only has he
completed a swim across the English Channel, he has done
the Catalina Channels, He's done the Bridge Swim in Manhattan,
and of course every single one of our great lakes.
Most recently last month, swimming twenty miles across Western Lake Superior.
(09:45):
But it has really paid off. More than seventy thousand
dollars has been raised for the Holland Aquatic Center, and
those kids are what keep him going.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
When you get too many miles into a swim like this,
you just you want to quit, but you just have
to want to finish more than you want to quit.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
And those kids are exactly it Tellsbox seventeen. You want
to learn more. I did the Holland Aquaticscenter dot org
and be a part of Brian's big switz.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Feeling good, Kevin at you a couple times to day.
We'll share some more awesomeness with you, coming up at
nine twenty this morning on Star Movies, Music, and all
the Gossip in one place, It's the Celebritiescoop on Star
one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Jimmy Kimmel back on the air last night, six days
after ABC placed the show on an indefinite hiatus over
his comments regarding the death of Charlie Kirk, and while
he started in his funny form talking about the pre
emptying of celebrity family feud that was taking over his
time slot, he did eventually get to the subject of
(10:44):
Charlie Kirk in a very emotional moment.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
I don't think what I have to say is going
to make much of a difference. If you like me,
you like me. If you don't, you don't. I have
no illusions about changing anyone's mind. But I do want
to make something clear because it's important to me as
a human, and that is you understand that it was
never my intention to make light of the murder of
a young man. I posted a message on Instagram when
the Daves killed, sending love to his family and asking
(11:09):
for compassion, and I meant it and I still do.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Yeah, it was a really, really powerful moment. Got quite
a bit of applause. He said, listen. As a human,
it's just not anything that I would celebrate. The comments
I made had nothing to do with the fact that
I thought that gentleman should have lost his life. He
actually brought up his radio career as well, even talking
(11:34):
about Larry the program director at Seattle who fired him
years ago for refusing to do a donut bit sainc
Quite honestly, that's the one that ticks me off more
than anything. But he also did talk about Charlie Kirk's
widow in a moment over the weekend at Kirk's memorial
service that he says, We'll stick with him forever, and
I'll have that next hour in scoop.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I mean, Jimmy is not one to shy away from
his emotions on TV, which is something his fans have
always really liked about him. So I mean, I hope
that they were able to take that all in and
hear if something they felt was real.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Well, not everybody did. Sinclair and Next Star ABC affiliates
still not airing Jimmy Kimmel as they say future conversations
needed to be had, So you did see preemptive programming
last night. Dean Sanders says a routine activity like going
to the bathroom is now the most excruciating pain of
his life. The Hall of Famer in Colorado, Buffalo's coach
(12:30):
sat down with Michael Strahan on GMA yesterday discussing his
recent medical issues as he continues to battle bladder cancer.
And this sounds pretty horrific.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
I prayed on it, and I'm aggressive, man. He ain't wading,
he ain't sending back on the current, waiting this slowly,
but showlder do whatever is going to happen. Now, let's
go right now, let's.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Go get this thing. What was the recovery from that light?
It was tough.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
So I remember laying there and they said, well, you
need to go try to peet. That is the most
excruciating pain ever fed in my life. I remember just
on the ground in the bathroom and I'm just screaming
because it was so much pain.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Yeah, he says, is sharing a story to let men
know something even the biggest of sports figures can be
brought to their knees with. And again, cancer could have
taken me out, but I'm here, and it's important that
I bring awareness to the fact that you can get
checked and face any battle that comes your way.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah, that does not sound like something you want to
go through, not at all.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Finally, the Gilmour Girls reunion we didn't know we were getting. No,
I'm not talking Lorelei and Rory stars Jared Pablecki and
Matt Shukrey teaming up for a fall campaign for Panera Bread.
Speaker 10 (13:46):
We do this every fall and I'm tired of that, Okay.
I mean, what is wrong with being the reliable one,
the one that's always there for you. I'm sure I
know what you're gonna say. It's not that fancy, but
it feels like, oh hey man, listen, some people just
might want a little something more sophisticated. No, all they
(14:07):
really want is is the bad boy, the one that
left without even saying goodbye?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And then what Now it's back and hotter than ever?
Whoa Jerrett black bean soup is back?
Speaker 11 (14:17):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
There it is. It's actually really well done at perfect timing.
Of course, Gilmore Girls turns twenty five next month, and
both boys said they were thrilled to do this. They
understand the show continues to be a warm, cozy blanket
for people.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
After all these years, not a single episode never won.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Why that doesn't surprise me. You gotta get on it
all right, all of your celib scoop at West Michigan
Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
It's back in Smitty over your day, starting out, well,
what's going on? Smitty?
Speaker 4 (14:46):
What do you have your kids call adults? I came
across this Instagram video. Her name is Caitlin Wilder. She
goes by Wilder Beginnings, and she is having this conversation.
Speaker 12 (14:56):
I have a very important question for my fellow millennial moms.
School aged children. What are we calling ourselves? Like, how
are we introducing ourselves? Or what do we expect other
kids or teachers to call us? Because when I was
growing up, I called my parents' friends mister and missus
blank But I cannot imagine a child calling me missus wilder.
(15:20):
But are the kids just calling I don't want them
to call me by.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
My first name.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
This is so crazy timed because it is the exact
conversation my husband, Chris and I were just having two
days ago because I was outside in the front yard
and next our next door neighbors. My kids are super
super close with their kids, and I heard Will saying
thank you to their mom and he called her by
(15:45):
her first name.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Does it make you feel uncomfortable?
Speaker 4 (15:47):
It does, because I grew up the same way. It
was mister and missus last name. That being said, please
don't call me that. I do not want to be
called that. But I also so don't think it's just
a first name thing that feels really uncomfortable. I'm also
in my mid thirties and I still call my mom's
friends mister and missus. Who's had a bridal shower two
(16:09):
weekends ago and they were like Lauren, you don't need
to do that anymore. You can just call me Pat.
So I'm curious how you do this, and it's obviously
going to be a generational thing. I'm personally I like
calling them mister or miss first name. That's what we
do too, and I would prefer that myself as well.
(16:30):
But I'm looking through the comments on here, and there
is an etiquette instructor that popped in here and she says,
I am Missus Russell to my students and my children's friends.
I am Elizabeth Ann to my peers, and EA to
my closest friends. Simple and a very important lesson to
teach our children. You need to respect age and stage
(16:51):
my parents. My children call their friends parents by mister
or missus and last name. If someone prefers a different name,
then they share that preference and we know to respect that.
So now I kind of feel like I'm a trashy
parent whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
That lady is seriously instructing all of her children to
make sure they're pinkies are high in the air as
they're lifting their Teacupschmivie.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
But like, let's talk about gen Z. Isn't that kind
of where they're headed? Back to those kind of old
time lessons and respectful things. I wish we've got really
close friends of ours, Like my kids will call them uncle,
like uncle man, uncle Jeremy e. And they're not blood related.
But I don't know, what are you doing? What do
(17:34):
you have your kids call people? Because then I'm afraid
they're going to slip and call their teachers like that,
and it's like teachers, it's you know, mister or missus
last name because I don't even know home or some
kind of parent teacher conference.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Greg, what are we doing with this web red pen here?
This is feeling real, permanent, but I you know, this
isn't something that I shouldn't be able to take home?
Right Greg? Come on?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Greg?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Have you ever been called out by a parent? Because
I have. I have ever I have called out because
it's automatic for me. Well, hold on, I've had my
like my kids have said, oh, hey, miss first name,
and she goes, oh, it's missus last name. I've had
them called out for it.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That's interesting because I've had the opposite where they just
say that you don't have to say mister or anything
like that. I'm like, yes, they do. I've actually told
other people like, sorry, my kids, do I have to
call you mister or missus? Because I don't like it
when you refer to an adult by their first name
when you're a kid. I think it's rude.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
See, but missus first name sounds totally weird to me,
like like missus Lauren, Like it's mister or miss for me.
But after getting called out by that parent, I feel
like I'm not teaching it right six one six four
five eight one oh five seven. Maybe we have an
etiquette expert in West Michigan. If you want to call
me out and be like, girl, you need to fix
your ways. Your kids are going to grow up to
(18:43):
be terrible citizens of society. Let me know what do
you have your kids address adults like, I'm seriously looking
for advice here selling a.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Fun points ven it's Mick and I guess for the
sake of thish many, missh Mini, miss Minni.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yeah, that's what I want to be called you guys,
I'm asking for a vice here on what you are
teaching your kids about addressing adults. What do you call them?
What do they have calling you a good morning star?
Who's this?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
This is Ailiah?
Speaker 8 (19:13):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Aileiah? Where you call them this from this morning muske Agan.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Okay, how do you teach your kids to address adults?
Speaker 11 (19:20):
So we kind of do both.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
My oldest son, he's fourteen, and he still address depending
on kind of like rank, I teach of how he
addresses them. So some of my friends, he'll say missus
first name or mister first name, and then for kind
of more older adults they will he will address them
(19:42):
as mister and missus last name.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Oh that's actually a good idea and other things. Yeah, yeah,
that's a really good idea.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, the familiarity, the familiarity of the first name is there.
But no matter what you're giving the pomp and circumstance
of having a mister or missing there.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Oh yeah, well no, like if they're over eighties, we're
going to say this last name. Yes, thanks for your goal.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, you're welcome. I have a great good day, guys,
Good morning, star.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Who's this?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Good morning? Michell?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Hey Michelle? Where you at today?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I'm just driving to work?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
All right, Michelle? Are we doing last names? Are your
kids good with first names? How do you teach this?
Speaker 12 (20:15):
So? I actually feel as confusing I do.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
So I'm a step parent, so my by my first name,
and he has since.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
He was like steps, So I don't know what, Oh,
do you like being called by your first name as
a bonus parent.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
If he was walking around Miss Michelle instead of my
regular name when my own children are calling you.
Speaker 12 (20:39):
Mom, And I feel like this whole topic is crazy.
Speaker 11 (20:43):
I want to do with kids because yeah, exactly, I'm
a t so I get like that cool I'm being
called miss, and it's just crazy for kids these days.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
It never stops for you. Then, thanks so much, Michelle.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Good all right, appreciate the advice. I think those were
really really good things to do.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Point see, have a good morning to you. It's Mack
and Schmidty far from perfect parents, and we prove it
each and every week with another.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
All right, So, I love books. I love my kids
reading books. We've got our library cards. But I've been
to something we are we go to. We go to
our KTL at least once a week. We love it.
I've got to tell you, though, I've been getting very
sneaky weekly because I don't love all the books. We
live in a neighborhood. I'm sure you have these two
and they are so dang cute and I adore the idea.
(21:37):
I love the little libraries so cool. People are so
so crafty, they're so beautifully done, and I do I
love the idea of kids being able to walk home
from school past the little windows unnotch it and then
grab a book and usually you bring them back or
you can always we've dropped a few books in our
little library. There's a little library on the way home
(21:58):
from my kids' school. And Sophia loves looking in the
little library. But it's the books she's choosing that I'm
not like super down with, okay, because these are not
kids books. So it finally she likes to look at
the cover, as any four year old does, and be like,
this looks really good. But I finally had a trumpet
line the other night because she picked a book called Havocs.
Never heard of it. It's about kids stolen to become
(22:22):
futuristic time travelers and like fight demons.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
It sounds awesome, that sounds pretty sweet for not.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
A four year old, and she loved the cover of
the book. I'm sure they're fantastic books, just not for
a toddler. And she has found like three or four
of these books and she's super excited there's a few
pictures in them, and let me tell you, I wait
for her to go to bed, I take them, and
I sneak through the dead of night and put them
back in that little libberry. And now I've gotten to
the point I've realized that there's so many of them
(22:48):
in there that I've I will be out at it
happened last night. If that was your house, I'm really sorry.
I wasn't being weird. It was like nine to fifteen
last night, and I'm in the little library burying these
books amongst my the Berenstein Bears and the little Critter books,
and then just closing the doors and sprinting away like
I did something guilty.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Is that a prowler? No, I believe that's a reader.
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Well, late night host Jimmy Kimmel back on the air
last night, at least in most markets, six days after
that indefinite pause put on him over remarks about Charlie Kirk.
Sinclair and Next Star have both said they will not
be airing Jimmy until future conversations can be had. But
there was a very moving moment last night where he
(23:39):
brought up Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica, a.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Moment over the weekend, A very beautiful moment.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I don't know if he saw this on Sunday.
Speaker 13 (23:47):
Erica Kirk forgave the man who shot her husband. She
forgave him. That is an example we should follow if
you believe in the teachings of Jesus, as I do.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
There it was.
Speaker 13 (24:05):
That's it, a selfless act.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Of grace, forgiveness from a grieving widow.
Speaker 13 (24:12):
It touched me deeply, and I hope that.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
It touches learning.
Speaker 13 (24:20):
And if there's anything we should take from this tragedy
to carry forward, I hope it can be.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
That and not this.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I will tell you. I thought that was probably one
of the most powerful moment of his monologue last night,
and people will still be divided about this. He did
not issue any kind of apology, but there were quite
a few moments that he pointed to his faith to
understanding the good that can come out of it, talking
about forgiveness right there and saying, listen, I believe in
(24:47):
the teachings of Jesus, and first and foremost, forgive your enemies,
forgive your people, Forgive people that have done you wrong,
And I just thought that was a really moving moment
and I loved that the audience clapped for it and
feels nice.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
A message that could resonate around a lot more subjects
than just that one.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
All right, farmer Lyons quarterback Matthew Stafford took quite an
injury in Sunday's game against the Eagles, and his wife
Kelly Stafford had a funny and different take on the quarterback.
This is from her latest episode of her Morning After
podcast that dropped yesterday.
Speaker 14 (25:25):
After the game. I'm like, hey, what was going on, Like,
are you okay? And he was like, yeah, I got
my notes crushed. So as women, we don't know what
this feels like, right, And I looked at him and
I said, well, you know what, that's God's way of
taking care of your vasectomy since you haven't done it
in the last two years.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
So thank you Jesus. I'm sorry I was rolling when
I heard that, and she said that he just looked
at her and then walked away. Two, of course, have
been married for ten years, so it just makes sense.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Honestly, that hit like that hit put a fe a
feeling in the pit of my stomach just watching it.
It was not good yet.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
That's suck to me. Finally, I have saved the best
for last, and I need to take a deep breath
because I was literally shaking at this news. Forget Taylor Swift.
This is the biggest guest that has ever and will
ever be on the New Heights podcast. This is the
Travis Kelcey Jason Kelcey Podcast. It's Leonardo DiCaprio.

chance to win, same time tomorrow, eight fifteen. Here on
Starbino five point seven. Good morning to you. It's Maccolm Schmidty.
And over the last couple of days finally got that
rain that we very much needed in so many areas
across West Michigan. Schmidty got some storms with it too.
I know you said. The Rockford area a couple nights
back got some pretty good stuff that's.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Kind of been all over the place, depending on where
you're at, floating all over.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Last night I live over in the Forest Hills area,
and we got some serious rain. My son's football practice
interrupted in the middle of it is Lightning was spotted
in the area. My daughter's practice was canceled, and then
all of a sudden, everybody gets home from their respective
things and the power goes out, house goes black. Schmidty
(30:15):
and both of my kids were in the shower, which
was not a good place to be. And I want
to talk to you about what you feel like when
the power goes out you're there with your family, what
the most annoying thing was, Because it turns out for me, schmitty,
I think the most annoying thing is actually my family,
of anything else that bothers me, it's just my family.
(30:36):
Because both my kids they're in the showers, the lights
go black, and what do I hear because I can
hear them both yeall at the same time. Mom, Yeah,
is the power out? Is the power out? Well? Yeah,
it's pitch black and there's no electricity anywhere doing this.
So my wife, my wife comes running upstairs. She goes,
is the power out? And I'm like, what do you
(30:57):
guys think happened? What else could it be that all
of the lights and everything in the house just turns
off all at once? Yes, the power is out. Kids
are screaming. The showers are still on, but everything's pitch black.
They're like, oh, panicking, panic mode. They come out of there.
What's the first thing they do?
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Get food?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Goot food? Yeah, just walk right open and eyes so
at first I don't even think about it. They open
the fridge door, and I'm like, hey, power's off, keep
the fridge and the freezer closed. We don't know when
it's coming back on. Okay, Sun walks out. Very first
thing he does, open up that door. I just said it. Sorry, Dad,
I didn't hear anybody. Then from there we're like, okay,
so it's already guys like eight forty five out. Now
it's time for bed. We get everybody into their rooms
(31:36):
and I'm hearing things like, hey, don don't forget to
turn on my fan. The power is off. Well, like,
that's not.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Just a kid thing. I do that too, and at
least your kids semi understand it. We lose power, and
my kids are like, where did it go. I'm like,
it's not coming on. They're like, well, right, but we'll
just go get more of that. I'm like, I can't.
I don't know how we don't have solar power yet.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Hitting the switch it is.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
The most And then I'm just like, you know what,
We're living in darkness the rest of our lives, so
just get used to it. So we can't do it.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Kids are all freaking out, and then we get into bed.
Michelle and I and she's like, oh, what about your
seapath And I was like, well, the battery that I
use camping, I think is dead. And she's like, you
think maybe you could sleep down sir? Yes, girl, yes,
And I'm like, are you serious?
Speaker 4 (32:21):
I sleep most annoying to me that you're not charging
that seapat battery. Whenever it is not being you.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Can anticipate the five Yeah, so she goes, she goes, yeah,
you should go downstairs. I'm like, so you want to
send me two floors away so that I can drowned
while trying to breathe and I'll have no one here
toate me.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
No, she's a sleeping in my house. Hey, Chris, you
just bought a new tent from Cabbella's. Time to test
it out in the backyard, honey.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
So granted, I move all my stuff, I get downstairs,
and what happens, Smitty? All the lights come back on naturally.
All the lights immediately come back on, and all I
hear is powers on, powers on from every single person
in my house. Well, the good news is all around
you when you go looking for it, like we do
for you each and every morning. Feeling good right now
(33:06):
and starting on fine, Floyd seven, what's happening minute well.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
As a former softball player myself, I think this is
so cool. A family just outside Detroit in Waterford turning
their backyard into a literal field of dreams. So Katie
Belliotti tells ABC seven she wasn't even looking for a house.
They weren't going to be moving, had no plans until
she came across a very interesting listing a few months
(33:30):
ago that included a backyard that was an entire baseball diamond.
The property in question came with three hand field. It's
a baseball diamond. It's been around since nineteen seventy two.
It was built by a Waterford police officer with help
from former Tigers catcher Filled Freehand, obviously the field named
for him. However, over the past few years it's fallen
(33:53):
into decay and disrepair and really hasn't been used much.
So Kelly is taking matters into her own hands and
doing a lot with her hands. They have completely transformed
this field into a usable, workable, beautiful baseball diamond and
they are so excited about this for the community. Her
niece was even blown away.
Speaker 15 (34:12):
Coaches and different organizations they guard their fields like nobody
can play on here. They lock them up tight and
they don't let kids play, and that's all they want
to do is play softball or baseball.
Speaker 12 (34:22):
I can see the potential that it had and just
like the opportunities that it was going to make for
all the kids in our area.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Man, this is a super cool moment. Lynn Coyle says
her dad actually played at Freehand Field back in the day,
and now her daughter is going to be there pitching.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
Harper's really excited to continue the legacy and hopefully pitch
on this field that he pitched on as well.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
By the way, will now serve as the home field
for Beliat's daughter and her team, the Lady Outlaws.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Awesome, super cool.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
You got to see the pictures at West Michigan Star
dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Man, I want one of the Sarai Schmiddi. This is
pretty cool. I mean nerve racking enough to find yourself
on the Voice performing in front of not only millions
of viewers, but legends right in front of you, like
Michael Boo Blake, Snoop Dogg, Reba McIntyre and Nil Horn
of one direction. Even more nerve wracking, though, when you're
trying to sing one of those legend songs directly to
(35:19):
their face. But that's what Jack Austin, who's a Battle
Creek native and goes to Western Michigan University and the
Bronco currently a music theater student there at Western, and
he performed Nile's song This Town for his blind audition
back on Monday.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Wait enough to kiss you, nobody staying smell your perfus
sucking in.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
It's right.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
That first chair that was turning around was actually Michael
Boubalay and his legendary voice, choosing Jack to be on
his team. Reba McIntyre turned around, and how about the
guy who made the song famous in the first place,
Nile Horn finally turning that cool spinning chair round as well,
and had this to say about somebody singing his very
(36:13):
own song.
Speaker 11 (36:14):
That song is quite simple, and you made it climactic.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
By the way, do you know what we should We
should sing a chorus of it?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Oh yeah, dude, did the watch and still yes, And
the two of them got on stage together and do
wedding for the audience.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Pretty special moment. And of course after that, you're obviously
going to choose to be on his team. So Jack
choosing to be on team Horran moving forward into the
Battle rounds as they moved later into the season. But
a little rooting interest locally here for the season of
The Voice.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Yeah, not surprising. The Western Theater program is a phenomenal,
very cool, feeling good coming at you a couple times today.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I always want to share great things going on out
there with you. We'll do it again tomorrow six forty
five and nine twenty here on Star Mack and Schmidty
in the morning starting at six am on Star one
oh five point seven
