Speaker 1 (00:00):
And this is West Michigan's Morning News. Steve Kelly and
Brett Kaita Schmidty will be back with us soon. You
said the International Space Station is visible right now.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah, I have an app on my phone. I'm that dork,
and it tells me when the space station is about
to fly over.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I think that's more exciting than the partial government shutdown.
We're waiting for Ryan Schmelz to call in this morning
and give us the very latest on that one. But
I've seen it before. I've been out on our fire escape.
Dave mentioned that to me in the commercial break and
I ran outside and I was not able to actually
see where it was in the sky.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Oh yeah, it's it's so the app that I have,
I use it when I do astrophotography, and it's called
Star Guide, and it tells me basically where what stars
and constellations are what part of the sky. And so
I'm like cool, and I point my camera in that
direction and I shoot because I'm not that savvy, and
you know, I look at stars like you guys look
at stars and go, oh look the big gapers and
(00:59):
oh it's it's really cool. I look at it and go,
those are bright dots. So I need a little help,
and that's what this.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I couldn't agree with you anymore. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So I'm a big fan of people who can do puzzles.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I'm terrible at them. So how long you're bad at
puzzles too? Oh yeah, I always do the edges, but
I don't have the attention span for card games or puzzles. Yeah.
Are you a card game or a puzzle guy?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I like card games, not puzzles. Yeah, And I'm around
them a lot because my dad used to do them,
and my mom and everything. My brother gets into that,
my mom. Yeah, I should say my wife's not too
bad about doing puzzles, but yeah, to me, it's just
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
My grandmother and my aunt were like that. Maybe it's
a generational thing. They would do like ten thousand piece puzzles,
like massive ones, and I look at it and go,
that's just a bunch of stuff on a board. I
got nothing.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I get frustrated too quick to do.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah puzzle, Yeah, I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
In a card game. We'll go to the manshack. I
can do yuker.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That's a good I love playing.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
They play yuker at the man Yeah, and when I
just would rather go throw something weird in the fire. Sorry, EPA.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
My grandfather used to play Solitaire all the time, and
see Solitaire, I think is underrated because you don't have
to deal with anyone else.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
So the colonel, it's just nice. Colonel could play. That's
the only thing he could use the computer for. Yeah. Really,
my mother plays Solitaire on the computer, but she can
do Facebook and email, so she's way ahead of the game.
The colonel could sit in front of a computer and
play Solitaire until you said, hey, we got to go
to church. Yeah, he could do that for hours. Wow.
By the way, that's what they're doing on Capitol Hill
(02:36):
right now because I'm solitaire. Ryan Smells is unavailable. Maybe
he's following some breaking news that's part of the partial
government shutdown, which is in day twenty seven starting today.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Wait a minute, do the Republicans go against the Democrats
and the uker?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
How does that work? They do anything? They fight over
the right bouer right now, they're not doing anything with
each other.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, somebody wants a lone hand, that's abundantly.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I'm gonna go loan. Really, you think that's a good move.
I just gotta lay down right here. I don't even
know what that means. What's a loan hand?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
That's basically when you have like both right and left
bowers and then you have basically all those suits. If
somebody says I'm gonna call you know, spades or whatever
whatever you call it, and boom, they just they own it.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I don't know what a bower is.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Okay, if you take all the tricks to Dave's point,
if you take all the tricks right, yab, you get
four points right, And so that's what a loan hand
would be. I mean, you can have help from your partner,
but sometimes you're you don't even need that because your
hand is so good.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Kent Bauer was our ninety eight pounder my freshman year.
That's as close as I can get to that conversation. Now,
wait a minute, Producer Adam would like to enter the conversation.
Are we puzzles or card games? Card games? Absolutely? Card games?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
And I can't believe you're such a Michigan man and
you don't know how to play ucher.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
That was big in college and I would just well,
I listen, that's almost sacrific. My eyes were open to
a certain aspect of life, and that was the two
by two thing. And I found an attraction to the ladies,
and I didn't see any advantage to finding the perfect
lady playing card.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
What if it was co Ed Yuker.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Still, let's go for a walk, because that's a bad
time to mention.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I was in my fifth grade bridge club during lunchtime.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Oh yeah, see you had a fifth grade bridge a
bridge club. If this when you turn your microphone on,
we really got to think about how to.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, because bridge club I was twelve years old.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
This thing can go two ways. It's all I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You're not wrong there. Yeah. I thought that was way
more entertaining than Ryan Schmell's on the partial government shut down,
which continues. We'll have more during probably top of the
hour news on that very subject.
