Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to West Michigan's Morning News. Just moments left of
the moon, Just so you know, it is Monday, May twelve,
twenty twenty five and top five times Schmidty.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Where does it start.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
At number five? I just felt like this was the
kind of science we could all get behind. Fart strolls
could be the secret to longevity. You know, you get
done with a big dinner, take a little walk outside,
maybe around the block with your significant other, could lengthen
your life.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Now.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
These fart walk ideas were coined by a Canadian cookbook
author named Marilyn Smith. She says it's a low effort,
low impact, but something that not only helps you age wonderfully,
but can actually increase your digestion better your digestive tract
and word off serious disease.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, but the older you get, the more it's gonna happen. Anyway,
So I don't understand.

Speaker 5 (00:54):
The wow you always paint such a positive picture.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Pat, I'm just letting you know you get all don't.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
Need a stroll. You can just sit in your nice chair.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Everybody's going to be in their confidence anyway, right.

Speaker 6 (01:04):
I'm with usbody, as far as there's proper spacing that's
the key.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, yeah, arms length, Oh more than that. Maybe it's
get your walk, buddy.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
Also put effort in, like walk a little faster after
you do it?

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Spirited conversation, spirited. Firefighters and police responded to a beach
on the south side of Chicago to who rescue a dog?
Strandon a rock and Lake, Michigan. Wait do you see
the dramatic video. Emergency responders at number four in our
list today were called to Calumet Beach to rescue a
dog Wednesday and it was just off the breakwater near

(01:37):
one hundredth Street. Rescue teams creatively used ladders to reach
the dog escorted it to shallow water. You just never
know when it comes to being a first responder what
you will be asked to do. The dog taken to
animal control will be assessed by a veterinarian.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Just so you know.

Speaker 6 (01:54):
At number three, way last left you going into the weekend,
the Griffins were do or die in game three, best
of five heading to Austin.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
It takes out take on the Texas Stars.

Speaker 7 (02:05):
Right wing corner where Sniveley goes in, what the puck
at the centery pass or it's Kobe and pick that
one off, he's on the move the other way, flipping
the puck at the Griffins end where Blinder had a sticklifted.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Alone in front of the Stars score.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Okay, enough with the whole.

Speaker 7 (02:29):
Five four Texas ends of the Griffin season.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
There, you go ahead and wait for it. Even Bob
Kayser had to gather himself a little bit.

Speaker 6 (02:37):
Five to four in double overtime, and here is the dagger.
The Griffins were up four to one going into the
third period, gave a three goals third.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yes, they lost it in double overtime.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
It was a great season, but they get swept three
games to none by the Texas Stars.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Ou Chad number two. What's the dumbest club you had
at your college? It's not as dumb as this one.
The University of Minnesota Lettuce Club held its annual lettuce
eating competition on Friday.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Drunk and stupid is no way to go through lifestyle.
That's right.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yes, so the fastest student to eat their head of
lettuce got to be the head lettuce for the next year,
meaning you're the president of the lettuce club. This year's
winner three minutes and thirty two seconds. Oh, a whole
head of lettuce, can you put dressing on it? It
says they have to do it? Just lettuce, you got
a raw dog down and that's horrid. Can you imagine?

Speaker 2 (03:33):
No, I wouldn't do it.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
I think that was more than a fart stroll. After that,
that might have been a like fart marathon.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Can you ShredIt? Wow? Do you tarrant?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
My grandparents used to fight about it. Whoever made the salad?
Grandpa Bob like to tear it. Gladys used to shreddit wow, Lettuce.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
It was like, oh, finally at number one.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
It was pretty fun for him to say, Hey, I
got his matching shoes for us to wear to our
graduation ceremony.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
And I was like, wow, I'm not too old.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Worthies, but okay, if you think I can rock it,
we'll try it.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Mother and son celebrating the run up to Mother's Day
by walking across the stage on Friday to accept their
master's degrees from Texas Christian University. This school announced its
first ever graduate only ceremony on Friday, will feature Kyle
Fields accepting his Masters in Liberal Arts and his mother,
Brandy Fields, receiving her Executive Masters of Business Administration degree.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Which one do you think I'll get a job.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
It wasn't to say anything.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Oh that's a boldness.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
What this company needs is a liberal arts master. Where
can we find one.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
I did the story because is the kid's idea to
come up with the matching shoes, which were like vintage
Air Force ones which probably cost hundreds.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Oh, the kid just had his hand out one more time.

Speaker 6 (04:55):
Exactly, Wow, I see you working.
