Morning Smitty, Yes, and Happy Friday is TG.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I have two all welcome to it, and I don't
know why, but every single month it surprises me. Here
we are at the final weekend of September.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Already I told you the ber months. I warned you
all at the beginning of this September. October, November, December
altogether equal about three days.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
You're not wrong. I feel like this. I mean, it's
just life right this whole year. I mean, I feel
like I blink, I'm a wake up and it's gonna
be Blade Runner twenty forty nine or something. Smitty, It's
it just goes so quick.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Man, last night was weird. I don't know about anybody else.
Did you get full sunshine and pouring rain? We had
the most stunning rainbows in Rockford. And then I wake
up this morning and at least north of Grand Rapids
you cannot see a thing. Just it was the most
treacherous drive in since I've moved north. No kid, so
(01:07):
heads up because I'm hearing south fine Grand Rapids.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Fine, maybe a little bit ease, fine.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
But it is foggy, and I'm like, now this this
hits it's late September, it's going to be in the
eighties this weekend. Nobody has any idea what's going on,
So let's just all feel that sense of community that
nobody has any clue what they're doing either.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I know, it's fine if you want to have like
cider and downuto, a hot toddy or a margarita. All
of it's good. Right there, we're living in the twilight zone.
But yes, this weekend go'n be absolutely beautiful. Starting with today.
High's up into the mid seventies. Plenty of sunshine and
we're gonna see a lot of that this weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You know, I love when a man just loves his
mom and former SNL cast member and comedian Pete Davidson
says it was a gun she can call from his
mom that helped him finally commit to sobriety. He was
in a conversation on theo Van's The Past Weekend podcast
talking about his mom Amy getting very real with him
(02:12):
while he was in rehab.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
She's been the most supportive ever. And it got to
a point where she she called me when I was
when I was in rehabit, she was like, my biggest
fear is that I will turn on the news and
see that my son has died. And she's never been
like that, like, you know, because she's so supportive and
just you know, wants to always have positivity around.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, I chardy lost something. She loved it.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Exactly, and that that killed me.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
So like I was like, all right, you know, can't
die until she's dead at least.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, all right, Amy, Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Like when that lady, when that lady says that to you,
look at that lady, I mean, how are you going
to be? Like I don't have to be a heartless
sociopath to not get my shi together, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Pete said that A big factor he thought about was
how much heartbreak his mom had already gone through. If
you're not aware, Pete's dad, Scott, was a New York
City firefighter who died in the Twin Towers on nine
to eleven. His mom never dated again, never remarried, poured
her heart and soul into his kids, and he said,
I am sober today because of the reminder of how
(03:15):
much she loves me.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, pro proud mama's boy for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Katy Kiric is pulling a Sydney Sweety kind of.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Of course.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
You know the now infamous jeans ad with American Eagle, Well,
Katie Kirk served up quite the spoof in her own
full denim with a very powerful message.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Speaking of jeans, did you know that the majority of
people who develop colon cancer are not genetically predisposed to
the disease. That's why doctors recommend everyone forty five and
older get checked minor televised Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Of course, you remember a few years ago the very
famous live colonoscopy for Katie very passionate about this. She
lost her husband at forty two to colon cancer, so
every year you see her back at the forefront, especially
during cancer awareness months, saying hey guys, girls, get your
business checked.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Pretty clever way of doing it too.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Finally, I was very unfamiliar with this former NFL star,
but when I saw this news, I'm like, we got
to talk about it. Sean Alexander just announced him and
his wife are expecting their fourteenth child. He was on
the Kay Adams up In Adams Show yesterday, so.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
I wasn't We're just now starting to tell people, but
number fourteen is in the belly.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Number fourteen, the former Seattle Seahawks tailbag, is super excited.
Him and his partner have ten daughters three sons. He
did not give a gender for the current bun in
the oven. But in addition to this really big news,
he was also just announced as a candidate for the
twenty twenty six Class Hall of Fame fourteen kids.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
But with one praise that mind.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, no kidding. I was going to say, do you
think that when his family members find out that they're
having an the one at this point in time, that
they like cheer or do they roll their.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Eyes the way he was on this podcast?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
They cheered, They cheered. All right, all of your scoop
at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Dot com, it's Domina five points yeah, and welcome in
to your Frinday morning. Let's make sure it starts the
right way, gets it rolling over the weekend. Feeling good
right now, it's smacking Schmidty here on Star and Schmitty.
I've been golfing. Now this is about thirteen years old.
So yeah, I've been golfing for more than twenty five
plus years and I have never hit a hole in one.
(05:31):
When the best golfers in the world hit a hole
in one, they still freak out like their ten year
old boys who have just done the impossible, because that's
how hard it is to hit a hole in one,
even when you're a really, really good golfer. Well, that's
why this day becomes ridiculously lucky. And twin Lawrence was
playing in a charity golf tournament with his youngest son,
his brother who was in town from Louisiana, and his
(05:53):
good buddy Mark. All of them came together for this
charity golf tournament near Augusta, Maine, over the weekends, and
he it was on hole eight and he said the
swing felt pretty solid. Hole in one. They were playing
a shotgun first hole in one of his life. Everybody
goes nuts, that's all they can talk about. The very
next hole they go to, he sticks it, nails the pin,
(06:16):
and it drops directly into the cup.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Two hole in ones in one day.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
The odds of that happening millions to one, just absolutely ridiculous.
Doesn't stop there because if you've ever had a day
where everything's going your way and you're feeling really lucky,
what does everyone say to you? They say, hey, go
play the lottery.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
It was just great. It was just a fun feeling,
you know. After everybody told me, I need to buy
a lottery ticket. So I bought two scratch tickets a
powerball ticket, and I won five hundred dollars on the
scratch ticket, one.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Five hundred bucks out of scratcher right after hitting two
hole in ones. But to be honest, getting to do
it in front of your son and your brother and
your best friends.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
You end up winning the tournament. And I got to
do it with my youngest son and my brother up
from Louisiana and my buddy Mark there. So it was
a good talk.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I mean, imagine having all of those things come together
all at once. Just say, the great day, the greatest
round of golf of your entire life.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
All right.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
So the Lions back on the field this Sunday, and
it's something I love talking about. He calls them Hutches heroes.
Aiden Hutchinson, in a very passionate move, is drawn to
meeting kids in the hospital, and he has introduced us
to his newest hero. Her name is Maddie. Eleven year
old Maddie has had quite a few hospital visits. She
(07:36):
is an extraordinary girl from the up. Aiden writes. On
February twenty fourth, last year, she was diagnosed with B
cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The diagnosis changed everything. She's been
traveling over a thousand miles round trip for treatment, spending
more days at Mot Children's than at home. Through it all,
though Madeline has remained a radiant light. Aidan actually got
(07:58):
to go and meet the family back in May and
just announced the big move to give her her own crown.
Couldn't have been more perfect, Her family says. Madeline already
calls herself a princess, but from that moment on she
has proudly become Queen Madeline. Here's what's really cool. If
you watched The Lions last weekend, you maybe noticed Aiden's
(08:19):
water bottle and on it was etched Fight like a Diva.
Her strength, courage and perseverance inspires everyone around her. Aiden says,
Maddie is so special to us, the ultimate example of joy.
Be like Maddie, Fight like a Diva. Got it shared
on our Facebook at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
You know, as somebody who loved Aiden at Michigan loved him.
Now that he's on the Lions, the dude just makes
you like him more.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I think I loved him most for this.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, that's very quick.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
This could be very interesting.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Singer ray Ja claims he is working with the FEDS
to build a RICO case against Kim Kardashian and Chris Jenner.
So during a recent live stream, the singer claimed that
the federal RICO is about to drop.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Here's a piece of that.
Speaker 8 (09:13):
This federal RICO though on kk and Chris. The Federal
I'm about to drop on Chris. Kim is about to
be crazy. Anybody know Kim and cool with Kim. They
need to tell her now. The rain is coming, The
Feds is coming, the fans is coming. Is not not
gonna do about. It's worse than Diddy.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
It's going to be worse than Diddy. According to Regia Now,
RICO stands for racketeer, influenced and Corrupt Organizations acts. He
has not provided any evidence about this to substantiate his claim,
but not the first time he's brought this up. He
actually was in an interview with TMZ back in May
discussing the Sean Diddy Comb's case when he said, now, listen,
(09:51):
if you told me that the Kardashians were being charged
for racketeering, I might believe it. So far, reps for
Kim and Chris have not out or given a statement,
and the Feds have been pretty quiet on this as well.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Because I'm thinking, if you are indeed doing this, the
last thing you wanted somebody talking to me.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, it's good to say when you're working with the Feds,
They're not like, Yay, maybe you should totally talk about this.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Abode. I still care, all right.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Miley Cyrus talking about keeping things from her ex, most
notably Liam Hemsworth. Of course, the couple married for only
about a year before finalizing their divorce back in twenty twenty,
but she said despite the separation, Cyrus still has a
few very important items from when they were together. She
sat down in a new interview with Fogue, saying, I
literally have a dress that I had on when I
(10:35):
met my ex husband. I also have the dress that
I wore on our first date, along with letters and
things that I really want to savor as beautiful moments
of my life. She went on to explain, these intimate
moments have also been really public moments, so it's kind
of tough to decide what piece I want to share
and what I would ever or never allow to be seen.
(10:56):
So it kind of sounds like she has quite a
few things still left from that relationship and said, listen,
still no hard feelings. We both learned a lot and
I do still care very much for him as the
person that he is.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You know, you hope that after people just grow apart
and split up like that, that it is amicable and
that you can look back on those good texts.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I don't think that's that.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I think it was a cute dress. Like I'm not
buying him. I'm sure you look great in it, and
it's you should keep it. Finally, Tim Allen, the Home
Improvement Star deeply affected by Erica Kirk's eulogy for her
late husband Charlie Kirk. The Star said he has struggled
for over sixty years to forgive the man who killed
(11:36):
his dad, and yesterday on X talked to fans very
poignantly writing. When Erica Kirk spoke the words on the
man who killed her husband, that man, that young man,
I forgive him. That moment deeply affected me. I have
struggled for over sixty years to forgive the man who
killed my dad. I will say those words now as
I type, I forgive the man who killed my father.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Peace be with you all. Pretty pretty powerful stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
It definitely. I mean, wherever you find an inspiration to
come through a period of growth like that, I think
it's it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
All right, all of your scoop at West Michigan start dot.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Com, I'm owning to you, and you just asked what
the funniest question your kids have asked that.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I've fee Because you can even pick one.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
There's been so many billions of question millions of billions.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
So the reason I bring it up is because, like
all of you, I've had really weird stuff that my
kids have asked. I have a seven year old and
a four year old, but this one caught me most
off guard in a very long time. The other day,
it's I don't even know what we were doing.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I think it's.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Because I've been talking about I was off yesterday hosting
for another one of my morning shows because one of
our coworkers had cataract surgery. So she's been I guess,
hearing us on the phone book in the show and
talking about all of that, and she just randomly looks
at me on Wednesday afternoon and she goes, Mom, do
I have eyes? That's it, That's that was the whole thing.
(12:59):
And I said, well yes, and she goes, how you know.
I go, well, it's how you see right, I mean
you can see me right now?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah? Yeah, so then you have eyes and she had
her mind blown.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
She was just like, oh, take your finger, bo, get
right right. Where are you think your eye would be?
You'll rest his shirt, you'll find him.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
And like, thankfully she moved on from that, because the
worst thing is when your kids ask you a question
and then you're like, I don't like my son has
asked me.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
He's like, why do we have the sun?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I was gonna see.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
He's the sun work. I'm like, shoot, I think you
need to ask Google.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
You can always say why.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
So I posted this on my Instagram at Schmidt in
the med and I said, what are some really hilarious
questions that your kids have asked for.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Me, I know, I said, uh. When my son was seven,
he goes to me. He's like, we're just sitting there
and he goes, Dad, do I have to be called Connor?
And I was like, well, your mom's pretty partial to it, buddy,
but technically no, and your name can be anything, and
he goes, can it be Tony?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
So he wasn't asking about a nickname, it was a
full legal change.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
He goes, he goes, canned be Tony and I said, no,
you're a little too Irish for Tony and he's like, uh,
can it be Peter. I'm like, no, why are you
getting these random names? And he goes, can it be four?
And I go, okay, okay, I get it. Somebody needs
to stop watching Avenger.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
So Annie messaged me. She said, my three year old
asked me the other day do fish hibernate lake bears?
And she said, to be honest, I had.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
To look it up.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And now both of us learned something. Katie.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
One night, my son was inconsolable and asked why I
have eyes and he doesn't, but he does. I said, honey,
you're crying from them. He didn't believe me. There's not
enough wine in this world to explain that away.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Hope said, I sneezed three times in a row.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
My son said, why do you do that? Your life
needs to be gotten together? And uh oh see, I
feel for Alexis on this one because I mean it
was just just a few months ago. I feel like
we were still in the throes of potty training, she said.
My daughter looked at me and said, why does my
butt hurt when I go hard?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Same?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
And you know, you know that question came up at
dinner because it only comes up at some kind of
major family meal time.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
And honey, do I wish I had an answer for
that one?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah? Uh six one six, four five eight one oh
five seven.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
What is the most hilarious question you have ever been
asked by one of your kids?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I know there are some good ones out there.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Give us a call or drop a talk back in
our iHeartRadio app calling it.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Going hard, Going Hard to make my day for sure,
Mack and Schmidty in the Morning on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Key Time, Let's go in to take time, spill the too, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
That's right, let's spill it. These your drama each and
every week that we keep you anonymous for it if
you'd like to send it to us. All right at
West Michigan Star. What's going on this week's minute?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Well, we got an email and I got to tell you.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Even when I was a kid, I can remember that
we were raised differently from friends of mine for this
exact argument.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Do you still financially support your adult kids? My friend
is in a battle with her husband who does not
want to give a cent to their kids now that
they are twenty one and twenty four. My friend feels
every now and then if they need a little support,
there's nothing wrong with it, hubby says, out of the nest,
land on your feet. But aren't you always mom and dad?
Should you be a backup? I can remember having friends
(16:27):
that were like, oh, my parents told me from an
early age eighteen, we're done. You pay for college, you
pay for any necessities, you pay for your place. We
did eighteen years, and you are not to come back
to us for more.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
We did eighteen years.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, line, I mean.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
But and when I look at the comments on our
Facebook where I posted this, it is really split right
down the middle from people that are like, listen, I
plan on helping whenever I can, if they ever need it.
Lisa says her hus son is stationed overseas and she
send him money for dinner since you can't invite him
to dinner. My parents always helped me out with little things.
(17:04):
Paul Nope, helped finance their education. Had to be tough
when one son didn't have medical insurance once they are
all on their feet. Sure, unsolicited gifts maybe, but no,
leave it to them.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I think your son had to be tough when you
were denying in medical treatment because he didn't have insurance.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Well look at Dennis. No, they need to all caps
grow up.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Ie somebody who moved out of their house at eighteen
years old. My personal philosophy is on it. I want
my kids to be self sufficient by the time that
they get their first big girl, big boy job outside
of college. Or if you decide not to go to
college you want to do a trade, or you're taking
care of yourself, that's when your financial life really separates
(17:48):
from mine in my opinion, and the choices that you
make after that are choices you've made as an adult.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So would you pay for your kids college.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
If I had the means to pay for my kids
college no radio, right right. I would like to help
my kids as much as I can to make sure
that they're off to a good start. But seriously, once
you're done with that, like, I have no plans on
giving my kids cash for things that you can get
on your own through saving and hard work.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I was helped so my parents had a met which
was fantastic, So that paid for my tuition. But I
worked a job all four years. I paid for my books,
I paid for my housing, and I can tell you, guys,
even with a little bit of help, I believe I
turned out to be a very self sufficient, contributing citizen
of society. So if you're sitting there now, like, oh shoot,
I'm giving my kids a little bit of something if
(18:37):
I messed them up six one six, four five eight
one oh five seven, would you financially support adult kids?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Hey, Rebecca, I think if the parents have the means
to help the kids, like even if it's like not
the entire amount that they need, but.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
Like just a little bit of help, Like I think
that's what parents for. I mean, it's just because they
har eighteen doesn't mean like it's that's a rush, Like
you don't help them out anymore.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
See, I think there's a difference between like eighteen and thirty,
Like I'm not you know, I get it together, right?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
You mentioned that on Facebook. We got people like Kathleen
who's got her kids are twenty three, twenty six and
twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I'll still living at home. That's tough, all right. We
got this talk back from Sharon.
Speaker 9 (19:18):
Once you're an adult, you're on your own. You know,
what are they going to do? Caught all these kids forever?
Like as an adult, if you want to be able
to make your own choices and really be responsible for
your own life, you have to be able to take
care of yourself. And if the parents just keep enabling them,
what are they going to do when they're dead? Like,
they have to be able to take care of themselves.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Harsh Man, all right, supporting your adult kids, what do
you think the husband or the wife? What team are
you taking at West Michigan Star And that's where you
can send your droming to is each it every week.
We'll keep you anonymous if you like. Again, hit us
chef on Facebook and Instagram.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
These music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Well, you could say Jimmy Fallon has really hit the jackpot.
The talk show hosts revealing his big guests coming up
October sixth is none other than Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Here's how he did it.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Maybe that's show business for you.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Excuse me, hen.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
So you could see him playing black Jack landing on thirteen.
You then saw a bunch of those show girls walking
by their dressing room. He had a bunch of Taylor
Swift themed easter eggs in this insta video sharing the
short clip to push her what will obviously be viral
guest appearance on the sixth. This will be right after
(20:41):
that album drops. So a lot of Swifties are wondering
are we going to be seeing live performances? Is she
going to be giving us another big announcement as Taylor
generally does. She hasn't been on late night in a bit.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, I've probably been a.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Long time any of the late night shows.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
So October sixth, Swift, stay up late or I guess recorded?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Is that still a thing? Or do I sound old?
Watch it the next day on streaming or TikTok she betti.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I have a conspiracy for you, and I want your feedback. Okay,
life of a Showgirl right name of the album. There's
a lot of Vegas themes going on throughout this. Taylor
Swift just engaged. There's been a lot of talk about
potential motherhood, all that kind of stuff. What if Taylor
Swift signs the largest Las Vegas residency deal in the
history of that city at one of their incredible venues,
(21:30):
maybe even like the Sphere, so she gets to live
all of those life things while basically having the era's tour,
if you will, or this incredible concert experience all in
one place.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, the only way that happens is if it's like
five dates.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I do not think that she's going full tilt in
Vegas just yet.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
What about like three months where it's just a Sphere
show a week and she's getting to feel like ten
million dollars a night.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I think she really wants to focus on wedding and
maybe having kids. I don't know if she wants them
or not, but I would be very surprised if we
see that. I don't know, I think it could be
something maybe Vegas related.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I will be.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Stunned if she says residency this close to the Arastorp.
Glenn Powell has detailed a very uncomfy moment he had
with a toxic celebrity and the intervent is trying to
figure out who this is. He was on Jake Shane's
Therapust podcast talking about the moment.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
And this person was recently canceled.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It was it was like not good.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
I was a fan of their work, but not a
fan of their choices, right, so I was just kinda
being nice. But then when you're they want to take
a picture with you, I realized very quickly how.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Like I was like, Ooh, I don't know this is
a good idea. He clearly clocked that. I was like, oh,
this is probably not a good idea.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
And I realized I was like, this guy his face
is toxic, you know, like going out of the world.
Like people are having a visceral reaction to this person
in terms of the bad choices they've made.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
I have been deep diving, I mean, trying to figure
out who this is.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
He's like, it was very uncomfortable. They knew it was uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
They backed off and he's like, I'm not going to
drop the name, but just know this is not a
good person.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
You know, I don't think it's this person, but in
my head I was like, is he talking about Armie Hammer.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
No, recently, it's recently canceled. That's why everybody is like,
who are we hearing?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I'm going to chat GDP and letting Ai super Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Finally, it's rumored to be the big weekend. This weekend,
Selena Gomez getting married to Benny Blanco, so she had
an Instagram post to her rare page, sharing a table
full of rare makeup, including foundation, blush, lipstick, also a
phone that played Cardi B's song pick It Up, with
a pair of sunglasses and a silver purse. It all
(23:46):
looked very, very fancy, and she just wrote me all weekend.
So naturally fans think this is going to be the
big weekend. Apparently, Paris Hilton is set to attend. Martin
Short is going to be her Ring Bear, Her Only
Murders and Building co Star and is not yet been
confirmed if t Swift will be there, wouldn't be surprised.
They're best friends, but they're trying to keep this real
(24:08):
down low. According to a Page six report, they are
not even telling guests where this is at. They will
be staying at very private hotels and then vehicles will
be picking them up and shuttling them to a very
secret location.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Hope they put bags over every one of their heads.

Speaker 6 (26:30):
Well done, guys, thank you, Good morning too.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
It's Mack and SCHMIDI and we've all got something. What
is it that is not dangerous, shouldn't be scary at all,
but for whatever reason, it just freaks you out to do.
And I bring this up because my wife has done
it again her car last night. She was just coming
back from her softball game. She's a coach. Team lost.
It was a tough game. And then she's picking up
(26:53):
my son from football practice while I'm home making dinner
for everybody, and she calls me and she says, hey,
my car won't start. I think my battery is dead. Well,
you come jumping again to have camble swither. So, of course,
hop in the car, run up there real fast, and
I open up the trunks and I go to everything,
and I hand her two cables, and I'm on my
side with the running car. Her car is just the
(27:14):
dead car. There's nothing going on with her car. It's
not even on.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
If you're about to expect me to put those cables
on any part of my car, you can move right along.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Literally, absolutely not a five.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Year old could jump a vehicle it is red and red,
black and black. It's the directions are even printed on
the cables. And yet Schmidty, Okay, my wife is My
wife is literally had this happen so many times? And
I put the red one on and I go, all right,
put the red one on yours, and I hear nothing,
and I'm like, put the red one on yours.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
As he goes, I can't. That's why you were here.
That's why I'm calling State Farm roadside.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
You'll get to explode and it, you know. And it
turns out that it's almost that this is the very
specific fear. It's just lighting anything that as gas connected
to it anywhere.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I don't use my cell phone at a gas station.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
What about a grill? Can you light a grill? She
can't light a grill? The hot water heater in your house? Yes, Pilately,
you know what situation you just get.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You sound like someone that's never watched A Thousand Ways
to Die.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I'm sorry, but like I recognize that there are crazy
things that can happen in this world. When's the last
time you heard of somebody dying because they jumped their car?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Probably last week? I just don't cover that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
What is something that's totally harmless that you're completely afraid.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Of that you just I just named five things anything
with a car, gas stations, mediums.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I asked this on Facebook, got some pretty good ones.
Dana said, corn mazes, uhh, won't go in. Just forget that.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
We talked about it last week. My friend refuses it.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Going through a cemetery. I could you know? That's just
bad juju. But again, it's not hard to do. I suppose,
Jeff says the dentist, but honestly, Amber wins Hamper says,
opening my utility bills. It's harmless, but you're gonna be
freaked out.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Honey, you gotta do an email and then send that
to spam Jesus's hands now starving a five point seven.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
It's time for feeling good on your Friday morning as
we go into what's gonna be in absolutely gorgeous weekend.
Let's get you perked up even more. Schmitty, what's going on?
Speaker 12 (29:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Well mine was lions packed this morning.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Of course, Sunday Lion's back in action taken on Cleveland
at one o'clock, and I thought this was absolutely the
cutest video I've seen on TikTok in a long time.
He goes by the name at Shogy Golf on TikTok
and his acute daughter Lenny, has been practicing her pronunciations
of some of her favorite Lions players.
Speaker 11 (29:39):
Jamior Gimbs, good week, Gimp, good job, Aiden Hutchinson, good job,
David Montgomery, Graham Glasgow.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
She goes through the whole lineup and then says, Okay, right, gal,
you gotta check it out West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I love that, all right, Smiddy, this is pretty cool.
At Loyoya University Medical Center near Chicago, it was doctor
Joana Demopolis who was eating a chicken sandwich in the
hospital cafeteria. She's a surgeon, but she started to choke.
So who do the rescue when you're in a place
surrounded by medical professionals. Well, obviously the cafeteria cashier, Ketxley
(30:26):
Angel is her name, and she was an angel for
this doctor because she quickly got in there and performed
the Heimlich maneuver and managed to dislodge the food, and
the doctor says she's not sure what would have happened
if Kensley wasn't there. The two of them got to
ketch up as a thank you was offered as CBS
News looked on.
Speaker 12 (30:47):
Well, I've never actually done it before, but from my
high school class health class, I remember what they had
told us, so I always kept it in mind in
case of a situation like that.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
And there were a lot of people around.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
But she's the one who jumped up and helped me
ride away, and I don't know what would have happened
if she didn't.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I mean pretty wild. A doctor saved by the cashier,
Which brings me to one of my favorite random pieces
of trivia of all time. The person who invented the
Heimlich maneuver. His name is doctor Henry Heimlich. Invented it
in nineteen seventy four. He never used it one single
time until he was ninety four years old. In an
(31:26):
eighty seven year old woman in a nursing home was
choking on a cheeseburger, Doctor Heimlick got to use his
signature move for the first time and saved that woman. Wow,
I mean that unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Yes at ninety yes.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Super weird. What has scene that had to be feeling
good coming at you a couple of times a day.
I always want to tell you about the great things
that are going on all around you. We'll do it
again for you next week six forty five and nine
twenty Every weekday here on Star Mack and Schmidty in
the morning weekday, starting at six am on Star one
oh five point seven
Blake m.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It gets my day going and makes me laugh.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I of it. Mac and Schmitty in the morning on
Star one on five point seven, Good.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Morning Smitty, Yes, and Happy Friday is TG.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I have two all welcome to it, and I don't
know why, but every single month it surprises me. Here
we are at the final weekend of September.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Already I told you the ber months. I warned you
all at the beginning of this September. October, November, December
altogether equal about three days.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
You're not wrong. I feel like this. I mean, it's
just life right this whole year. I mean, I feel
like I blink, I'm a wake up and it's gonna
be Blade Runner twenty forty nine or something. Smitty, It's
it just goes so quick.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Man, last night was weird. I don't know about anybody else.
Did you get full sunshine and pouring rain? We had
the most stunning rainbows in Rockford. And then I wake
up this morning and at least north of Grand Rapids
you cannot see a thing. Just it was the most
treacherous drive in since I've moved north. No kid, so
(01:07):
heads up because I'm hearing south fine Grand Rapids.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Fine, maybe a little bit ease, fine.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
But it is foggy, and I'm like, now this this
hits it's late September, it's going to be in the
eighties this weekend. Nobody has any idea what's going on,
So let's just all feel that sense of community that
nobody has any clue what they're doing either.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I know, it's fine if you want to have like
cider and downuto, a hot toddy or a margarita. All
of it's good. Right there, we're living in the twilight zone.
But yes, this weekend go'n be absolutely beautiful. Starting with today.
High's up into the mid seventies. Plenty of sunshine and
we're gonna see a lot of that this weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You know, I love when a man just loves his
mom and former SNL cast member and comedian Pete Davidson
says it was a gun she can call from his
mom that helped him finally commit to sobriety. He was
in a conversation on theo Van's The Past Weekend podcast
talking about his mom Amy getting very real with him
(02:12):
while he was in rehab.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
She's been the most supportive ever. And it got to
a point where she she called me when I was
when I was in rehabit, she was like, my biggest
fear is that I will turn on the news and
see that my son has died. And she's never been
like that, like, you know, because she's so supportive and
just you know, wants to always have positivity around.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, I chardy lost something. She loved it.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Exactly, and that that killed me.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
So like I was like, all right, you know, can't
die until she's dead at least.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, all right, Amy, Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Like when that lady, when that lady says that to you,
look at that lady, I mean, how are you going
to be? Like I don't have to be a heartless
sociopath to not get my shi together, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Pete said that A big factor he thought about was
how much heartbreak his mom had already gone through. If
you're not aware, Pete's dad, Scott, was a New York
City firefighter who died in the Twin Towers on nine
to eleven. His mom never dated again, never remarried, poured
her heart and soul into his kids, and he said,
I am sober today because of the reminder of how
(03:15):
much she loves me.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, pro proud mama's boy for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Katy Kiric is pulling a Sydney Sweety kind of.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Of course.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
You know the now infamous jeans ad with American Eagle, Well,
Katie Kirk served up quite the spoof in her own
full denim with a very powerful message.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Speaking of jeans, did you know that the majority of
people who develop colon cancer are not genetically predisposed to
the disease. That's why doctors recommend everyone forty five and
older get checked minor televised Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Of course, you remember a few years ago the very
famous live colonoscopy for Katie very passionate about this. She
lost her husband at forty two to colon cancer, so
every year you see her back at the forefront, especially
during cancer awareness months, saying hey guys, girls, get your
business checked.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Pretty clever way of doing it too.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Finally, I was very unfamiliar with this former NFL star,
but when I saw this news, I'm like, we got
to talk about it. Sean Alexander just announced him and
his wife are expecting their fourteenth child. He was on
the Kay Adams up In Adams Show yesterday, so.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
I wasn't We're just now starting to tell people, but
number fourteen is in the belly.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Number fourteen, the former Seattle Seahawks tailbag, is super excited.
Him and his partner have ten daughters three sons. He
did not give a gender for the current bun in
the oven. But in addition to this really big news,
he was also just announced as a candidate for the
twenty twenty six Class Hall of Fame fourteen kids.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
But with one praise that mind.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, no kidding. I was going to say, do you
think that when his family members find out that they're
having an the one at this point in time, that
they like cheer or do they roll their.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Eyes the way he was on this podcast?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
They cheered, They cheered. All right, all of your scoop
at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Dot com, it's Domina five points yeah, and welcome in
to your Frinday morning. Let's make sure it starts the
right way, gets it rolling over the weekend. Feeling good
right now, it's smacking Schmidty here on Star and Schmitty.
I've been golfing. Now this is about thirteen years old.
So yeah, I've been golfing for more than twenty five
plus years and I have never hit a hole in one.
(05:31):
When the best golfers in the world hit a hole
in one, they still freak out like their ten year
old boys who have just done the impossible, because that's
how hard it is to hit a hole in one,
even when you're a really, really good golfer. Well, that's
why this day becomes ridiculously lucky. And twin Lawrence was
playing in a charity golf tournament with his youngest son,
his brother who was in town from Louisiana, and his
(05:53):
good buddy Mark. All of them came together for this
charity golf tournament near Augusta, Maine, over the weekends, and
he it was on hole eight and he said the
swing felt pretty solid. Hole in one. They were playing
a shotgun first hole in one of his life. Everybody
goes nuts, that's all they can talk about. The very
next hole they go to, he sticks it, nails the pin,
(06:16):
and it drops directly into the cup.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Two hole in ones in one day.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
The odds of that happening millions to one, just absolutely ridiculous.
Doesn't stop there because if you've ever had a day
where everything's going your way and you're feeling really lucky,
what does everyone say to you? They say, hey, go
play the lottery.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
It was just great. It was just a fun feeling,
you know. After everybody told me, I need to buy
a lottery ticket. So I bought two scratch tickets a
powerball ticket, and I won five hundred dollars on the
scratch ticket, one.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Five hundred bucks out of scratcher right after hitting two
hole in ones. But to be honest, getting to do
it in front of your son and your brother and
your best friends.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
You end up winning the tournament. And I got to
do it with my youngest son and my brother up
from Louisiana and my buddy Mark there. So it was
a good talk.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I mean, imagine having all of those things come together
all at once. Just say, the great day, the greatest
round of golf of your entire life.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
All right.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
So the Lions back on the field this Sunday, and
it's something I love talking about. He calls them Hutches heroes.
Aiden Hutchinson, in a very passionate move, is drawn to
meeting kids in the hospital, and he has introduced us
to his newest hero. Her name is Maddie. Eleven year
old Maddie has had quite a few hospital visits. She
(07:36):
is an extraordinary girl from the up. Aiden writes. On
February twenty fourth, last year, she was diagnosed with B
cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The diagnosis changed everything. She's been
traveling over a thousand miles round trip for treatment, spending
more days at Mot Children's than at home. Through it all,
though Madeline has remained a radiant light. Aidan actually got
(07:58):
to go and meet the family back in May and
just announced the big move to give her her own crown.
Couldn't have been more perfect, Her family says. Madeline already
calls herself a princess, but from that moment on she
has proudly become Queen Madeline. Here's what's really cool. If
you watched The Lions last weekend, you maybe noticed Aiden's
(08:19):
water bottle and on it was etched Fight like a Diva.
Her strength, courage and perseverance inspires everyone around her. Aiden says,
Maddie is so special to us, the ultimate example of joy.
Be like Maddie, Fight like a Diva. Got it shared
on our Facebook at West Michigan Star.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
You know, as somebody who loved Aiden at Michigan loved him.
Now that he's on the Lions, the dude just makes
you like him more.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I think I loved him most for this.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, that's very quick.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
This could be very interesting.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Singer ray Ja claims he is working with the FEDS
to build a RICO case against Kim Kardashian and Chris Jenner.
So during a recent live stream, the singer claimed that
the federal RICO is about to drop.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Here's a piece of that.
Speaker 8 (09:13):
This federal RICO though on kk and Chris. The Federal
I'm about to drop on Chris. Kim is about to
be crazy. Anybody know Kim and cool with Kim. They
need to tell her now. The rain is coming, The
Feds is coming, the fans is coming. Is not not
gonna do about. It's worse than Diddy.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
It's going to be worse than Diddy. According to Regia Now,
RICO stands for racketeer, influenced and Corrupt Organizations acts. He
has not provided any evidence about this to substantiate his claim,
but not the first time he's brought this up. He
actually was in an interview with TMZ back in May
discussing the Sean Diddy Comb's case when he said, now, listen,
(09:51):
if you told me that the Kardashians were being charged
for racketeering, I might believe it. So far, reps for
Kim and Chris have not out or given a statement,
and the Feds have been pretty quiet on this as well.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Because I'm thinking, if you are indeed doing this, the
last thing you wanted somebody talking to me.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, it's good to say when you're working with the Feds,
They're not like, Yay, maybe you should totally talk about this.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Abode. I still care, all right.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Miley Cyrus talking about keeping things from her ex, most
notably Liam Hemsworth. Of course, the couple married for only
about a year before finalizing their divorce back in twenty twenty,
but she said despite the separation, Cyrus still has a
few very important items from when they were together. She
sat down in a new interview with Fogue, saying, I
literally have a dress that I had on when I
(10:35):
met my ex husband. I also have the dress that
I wore on our first date, along with letters and
things that I really want to savor as beautiful moments
of my life. She went on to explain, these intimate
moments have also been really public moments, so it's kind
of tough to decide what piece I want to share
and what I would ever or never allow to be seen.
(10:56):
So it kind of sounds like she has quite a
few things still left from that relationship and said, listen,
still no hard feelings. We both learned a lot and
I do still care very much for him as the
person that he is.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You know, you hope that after people just grow apart
and split up like that, that it is amicable and
that you can look back on those good texts.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I don't think that's that.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I think it was a cute dress. Like I'm not
buying him. I'm sure you look great in it, and
it's you should keep it. Finally, Tim Allen, the Home
Improvement Star deeply affected by Erica Kirk's eulogy for her
late husband Charlie Kirk. The Star said he has struggled
for over sixty years to forgive the man who killed
(11:36):
his dad, and yesterday on X talked to fans very
poignantly writing. When Erica Kirk spoke the words on the
man who killed her husband, that man, that young man,
I forgive him. That moment deeply affected me. I have
struggled for over sixty years to forgive the man who
killed my dad. I will say those words now as
I type, I forgive the man who killed my father.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Peace be with you all. Pretty pretty powerful stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
It definitely. I mean, wherever you find an inspiration to
come through a period of growth like that, I think
it's it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
All right, all of your scoop at West Michigan start dot.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Com, I'm owning to you, and you just asked what
the funniest question your kids have asked that.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I've fee Because you can even pick one.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
There's been so many billions of question millions of billions.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
So the reason I bring it up is because, like
all of you, I've had really weird stuff that my
kids have asked. I have a seven year old and
a four year old, but this one caught me most
off guard in a very long time. The other day,
it's I don't even know what we were doing.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I think it's.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Because I've been talking about I was off yesterday hosting
for another one of my morning shows because one of
our coworkers had cataract surgery. So she's been I guess,
hearing us on the phone book in the show and
talking about all of that, and she just randomly looks
at me on Wednesday afternoon and she goes, Mom, do
I have eyes? That's it, That's that was the whole thing.
(12:59):
And I said, well yes, and she goes, how you know.
I go, well, it's how you see right, I mean
you can see me right now?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah? Yeah, so then you have eyes and she had
her mind blown.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
She was just like, oh, take your finger, bo, get
right right. Where are you think your eye would be?
You'll rest his shirt, you'll find him.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
And like, thankfully she moved on from that, because the
worst thing is when your kids ask you a question
and then you're like, I don't like my son has
asked me.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
He's like, why do we have the sun?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I was gonna see.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
He's the sun work. I'm like, shoot, I think you
need to ask Google.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
You can always say why.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
So I posted this on my Instagram at Schmidt in
the med and I said, what are some really hilarious
questions that your kids have asked for.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Me, I know, I said, uh. When my son was seven,
he goes to me. He's like, we're just sitting there
and he goes, Dad, do I have to be called Connor?
And I was like, well, your mom's pretty partial to it, buddy,
but technically no, and your name can be anything, and
he goes, can it be Tony?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
So he wasn't asking about a nickname, it was a
full legal change.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
He goes, he goes, canned be Tony and I said, no,
you're a little too Irish for Tony and he's like, uh,
can it be Peter. I'm like, no, why are you
getting these random names? And he goes, can it be four?
And I go, okay, okay, I get it. Somebody needs
to stop watching Avenger.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
So Annie messaged me. She said, my three year old
asked me the other day do fish hibernate lake bears?
And she said, to be honest, I had.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
To look it up.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And now both of us learned something. Katie.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
One night, my son was inconsolable and asked why I
have eyes and he doesn't, but he does. I said, honey,
you're crying from them. He didn't believe me. There's not
enough wine in this world to explain that away.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Hope said, I sneezed three times in a row.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
My son said, why do you do that? Your life
needs to be gotten together? And uh oh see, I
feel for Alexis on this one because I mean it
was just just a few months ago. I feel like
we were still in the throes of potty training, she said.
My daughter looked at me and said, why does my
butt hurt when I go hard?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Same?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
And you know, you know that question came up at
dinner because it only comes up at some kind of
major family meal time.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
And honey, do I wish I had an answer for
that one?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah? Uh six one six, four five eight one oh
five seven.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
What is the most hilarious question you have ever been
asked by one of your kids?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I know there are some good ones out there.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Give us a call or drop a talk back in
our iHeartRadio app calling it.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Going hard, Going Hard to make my day for sure,
Mack and Schmidty in the Morning on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Key Time, Let's go in to take time, spill the too, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
That's right, let's spill it. These your drama each and
every week that we keep you anonymous for it if
you'd like to send it to us. All right at
West Michigan Star. What's going on this week's minute?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Well, we got an email and I got to tell you.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Even when I was a kid, I can remember that
we were raised differently from friends of mine for this
exact argument.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Do you still financially support your adult kids? My friend
is in a battle with her husband who does not
want to give a cent to their kids now that
they are twenty one and twenty four. My friend feels
every now and then if they need a little support,
there's nothing wrong with it, hubby says, out of the nest,
land on your feet. But aren't you always mom and dad?
Should you be a backup? I can remember having friends
(16:27):
that were like, oh, my parents told me from an
early age eighteen, we're done. You pay for college, you
pay for any necessities, you pay for your place. We
did eighteen years, and you are not to come back
to us for more.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
We did eighteen years.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, line, I mean.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
But and when I look at the comments on our
Facebook where I posted this, it is really split right
down the middle from people that are like, listen, I
plan on helping whenever I can, if they ever need it.
Lisa says her hus son is stationed overseas and she
send him money for dinner since you can't invite him
to dinner. My parents always helped me out with little things.
(17:04):
Paul Nope, helped finance their education. Had to be tough
when one son didn't have medical insurance once they are
all on their feet. Sure, unsolicited gifts maybe, but no,
leave it to them.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I think your son had to be tough when you
were denying in medical treatment because he didn't have insurance.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Well look at Dennis. No, they need to all caps
grow up.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Ie somebody who moved out of their house at eighteen
years old. My personal philosophy is on it. I want
my kids to be self sufficient by the time that
they get their first big girl, big boy job outside
of college. Or if you decide not to go to
college you want to do a trade, or you're taking
care of yourself, that's when your financial life really separates
(17:48):
from mine in my opinion, and the choices that you
make after that are choices you've made as an adult.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So would you pay for your kids college.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
If I had the means to pay for my kids
college no radio, right right. I would like to help
my kids as much as I can to make sure
that they're off to a good start. But seriously, once
you're done with that, like, I have no plans on
giving my kids cash for things that you can get
on your own through saving and hard work.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I was helped so my parents had a met which
was fantastic, So that paid for my tuition. But I
worked a job all four years. I paid for my books,
I paid for my housing, and I can tell you, guys,
even with a little bit of help, I believe I
turned out to be a very self sufficient, contributing citizen
of society. So if you're sitting there now, like, oh shoot,
I'm giving my kids a little bit of something if
(18:37):
I messed them up six one six, four five eight
one oh five seven, would you financially support adult kids?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Hey, Rebecca, I think if the parents have the means
to help the kids, like even if it's like not
the entire amount that they need, but.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
Like just a little bit of help, Like I think
that's what parents for. I mean, it's just because they
har eighteen doesn't mean like it's that's a rush, Like
you don't help them out anymore.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
See, I think there's a difference between like eighteen and thirty,
Like I'm not you know, I get it together, right?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
You mentioned that on Facebook. We got people like Kathleen
who's got her kids are twenty three, twenty six and
twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I'll still living at home. That's tough, all right. We
got this talk back from Sharon.
Speaker 9 (19:18):
Once you're an adult, you're on your own. You know,
what are they going to do? Caught all these kids forever?
Like as an adult, if you want to be able
to make your own choices and really be responsible for
your own life, you have to be able to take
care of yourself. And if the parents just keep enabling them,
what are they going to do when they're dead? Like,
they have to be able to take care of themselves.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Harsh Man, all right, supporting your adult kids, what do
you think the husband or the wife? What team are
you taking at West Michigan Star And that's where you
can send your droming to is each it every week.
We'll keep you anonymous if you like. Again, hit us
chef on Facebook and Instagram.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
These music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Well, you could say Jimmy Fallon has really hit the jackpot.
The talk show hosts revealing his big guests coming up
October sixth is none other than Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Here's how he did it.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Maybe that's show business for you.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Excuse me, hen.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
So you could see him playing black Jack landing on thirteen.
You then saw a bunch of those show girls walking
by their dressing room. He had a bunch of Taylor
Swift themed easter eggs in this insta video sharing the
short clip to push her what will obviously be viral
guest appearance on the sixth. This will be right after
(20:41):
that album drops. So a lot of Swifties are wondering
are we going to be seeing live performances? Is she
going to be giving us another big announcement as Taylor
generally does. She hasn't been on late night in a bit.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, I've probably been a.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Long time any of the late night shows.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
So October sixth, Swift, stay up late or I guess recorded?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Is that still a thing? Or do I sound old?
Watch it the next day on streaming or TikTok she betti.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I have a conspiracy for you, and I want your feedback. Okay,
life of a Showgirl right name of the album. There's
a lot of Vegas themes going on throughout this. Taylor
Swift just engaged. There's been a lot of talk about
potential motherhood, all that kind of stuff. What if Taylor
Swift signs the largest Las Vegas residency deal in the
history of that city at one of their incredible venues,
(21:30):
maybe even like the Sphere, so she gets to live
all of those life things while basically having the era's tour,
if you will, or this incredible concert experience all in
one place.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, the only way that happens is if it's like
five dates.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I do not think that she's going full tilt in
Vegas just yet.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
What about like three months where it's just a Sphere
show a week and she's getting to feel like ten
million dollars a night.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I think she really wants to focus on wedding and
maybe having kids. I don't know if she wants them
or not, but I would be very surprised if we
see that. I don't know, I think it could be
something maybe Vegas related.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I will be.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Stunned if she says residency this close to the Arastorp.
Glenn Powell has detailed a very uncomfy moment he had
with a toxic celebrity and the intervent is trying to
figure out who this is. He was on Jake Shane's
Therapust podcast talking about the moment.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
And this person was recently canceled.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It was it was like not good.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
I was a fan of their work, but not a
fan of their choices, right, so I was just kinda
being nice. But then when you're they want to take
a picture with you, I realized very quickly how.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Like I was like, Ooh, I don't know this is
a good idea. He clearly clocked that. I was like, oh,
this is probably not a good idea.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
And I realized I was like, this guy his face
is toxic, you know, like going out of the world.
Like people are having a visceral reaction to this person
in terms of the bad choices they've made.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
I have been deep diving, I mean, trying to figure
out who this is.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
He's like, it was very uncomfortable. They knew it was uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
They backed off and he's like, I'm not going to
drop the name, but just know this is not a
good person.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
You know, I don't think it's this person, but in
my head I was like, is he talking about Armie Hammer.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
No, recently, it's recently canceled. That's why everybody is like,
who are we hearing?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I'm going to chat GDP and letting Ai super Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Finally, it's rumored to be the big weekend. This weekend,
Selena Gomez getting married to Benny Blanco, so she had
an Instagram post to her rare page, sharing a table
full of rare makeup, including foundation, blush, lipstick, also a
phone that played Cardi B's song pick It Up, with
a pair of sunglasses and a silver purse. It all
(23:46):
looked very, very fancy, and she just wrote me all weekend.
So naturally fans think this is going to be the
big weekend. Apparently, Paris Hilton is set to attend. Martin
Short is going to be her Ring Bear, Her Only
Murders and Building co Star and is not yet been
confirmed if t Swift will be there, wouldn't be surprised.
They're best friends, but they're trying to keep this real
(24:08):
down low. According to a Page six report, they are
not even telling guests where this is at. They will
be staying at very private hotels and then vehicles will
be picking them up and shuttling them to a very
secret location.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Hope they put bags over every one of their heads.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
We will say all of your celeb scoop at West
Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (24:27):

Speaker 6 (26:30):
Well done, guys, thank you, Good morning too.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
It's Mack and SCHMIDI and we've all got something. What
is it that is not dangerous, shouldn't be scary at all,
but for whatever reason, it just freaks you out to do.
And I bring this up because my wife has done
it again her car last night. She was just coming
back from her softball game. She's a coach. Team lost.
It was a tough game. And then she's picking up
(26:53):
my son from football practice while I'm home making dinner
for everybody, and she calls me and she says, hey,
my car won't start. I think my battery is dead. Well,
you come jumping again to have camble swither. So, of course,
hop in the car, run up there real fast, and
I open up the trunks and I go to everything,
and I hand her two cables, and I'm on my
side with the running car. Her car is just the
(27:14):
dead car. There's nothing going on with her car. It's
not even on.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
If you're about to expect me to put those cables
on any part of my car, you can move right along.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Literally, absolutely not a five.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Year old could jump a vehicle it is red and red,
black and black. It's the directions are even printed on
the cables. And yet Schmidty, Okay, my wife is My
wife is literally had this happen so many times? And
I put the red one on and I go, all right,
put the red one on yours, and I hear nothing,
and I'm like, put the red one on yours.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
As he goes, I can't. That's why you were here.
That's why I'm calling State Farm roadside.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
You'll get to explode and it, you know. And it
turns out that it's almost that this is the very
specific fear. It's just lighting anything that as gas connected
to it anywhere.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I don't use my cell phone at a gas station.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
What about a grill? Can you light a grill? She
can't light a grill? The hot water heater in your house? Yes, Pilately,
you know what situation you just get.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You sound like someone that's never watched A Thousand Ways
to Die.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I'm sorry, but like I recognize that there are crazy
things that can happen in this world. When's the last
time you heard of somebody dying because they jumped their car?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Probably last week? I just don't cover that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
What is something that's totally harmless that you're completely afraid.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Of that you just I just named five things anything
with a car, gas stations, mediums.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I asked this on Facebook, got some pretty good ones.
Dana said, corn mazes, uhh, won't go in. Just forget that.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
We talked about it last week. My friend refuses it.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Going through a cemetery. I could you know? That's just
bad juju. But again, it's not hard to do. I suppose,
Jeff says the dentist, but honestly, Amber wins Hamper says,
opening my utility bills. It's harmless, but you're gonna be
freaked out.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Honey, you gotta do an email and then send that
to spam Jesus's hands now starving a five point seven.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
It's time for feeling good on your Friday morning as
we go into what's gonna be in absolutely gorgeous weekend.
Let's get you perked up even more. Schmitty, what's going on?
Speaker 12 (29:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Well mine was lions packed this morning.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Of course, Sunday Lion's back in action taken on Cleveland
at one o'clock, and I thought this was absolutely the
cutest video I've seen on TikTok in a long time.
He goes by the name at Shogy Golf on TikTok
and his acute daughter Lenny, has been practicing her pronunciations
of some of her favorite Lions players.
Speaker 11 (29:39):
Jamior Gimbs, good week, Gimp, good job, Aiden Hutchinson, good job,
David Montgomery, Graham Glasgow.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
She goes through the whole lineup and then says, Okay, right, gal,
you gotta check it out West Michigan Star dot Com.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I love that, all right, Smiddy, this is pretty cool.
At Loyoya University Medical Center near Chicago, it was doctor
Joana Demopolis who was eating a chicken sandwich in the
hospital cafeteria. She's a surgeon, but she started to choke.
So who do the rescue when you're in a place
surrounded by medical professionals. Well, obviously the cafeteria cashier, Ketxley
(30:26):
Angel is her name, and she was an angel for
this doctor because she quickly got in there and performed
the Heimlich maneuver and managed to dislodge the food, and
the doctor says she's not sure what would have happened
if Kensley wasn't there. The two of them got to
ketch up as a thank you was offered as CBS
News looked on.
Speaker 12 (30:47):
Well, I've never actually done it before, but from my
high school class health class, I remember what they had
told us, so I always kept it in mind in
case of a situation like that.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
And there were a lot of people around.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
But she's the one who jumped up and helped me
ride away, and I don't know what would have happened
if she didn't.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I mean pretty wild. A doctor saved by the cashier,
Which brings me to one of my favorite random pieces
of trivia of all time. The person who invented the
Heimlich maneuver. His name is doctor Henry Heimlich. Invented it
in nineteen seventy four. He never used it one single
time until he was ninety four years old. In an
(31:26):
eighty seven year old woman in a nursing home was
choking on a cheeseburger, Doctor Heimlick got to use his
signature move for the first time and saved that woman. Wow,
I mean that unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Yes at ninety yes.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Super weird. What has scene that had to be feeling
good coming at you a couple of times a day.
I always want to tell you about the great things
that are going on all around you. We'll do it
again for you next week six forty five and nine
twenty Every weekday here on Star Mack and Schmidty in
the morning weekday, starting at six am on Star one
