Speaker 1 (00:07):
It gets my day going and makes me laugh.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
It Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one
O five point seven. Well, good morning, Schmitty, Good morning,
and to all of those that need it. It's tax day.
Here we go, April fifteenth, final day to get your
taxes in or yeah, I guess you could file an extension.
I've never done that. We just cram and get it in.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Shout out to the CPAs. Oh, that was absolutely life
changing for us. We haven't done our own taxes in a.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Decade and you guys do them in like February. You're like,
you're all over it.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Gosh, responsible people for a little return to come back
as we speak some day.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I really hope to grow up, Schmitty. I really really
want to become a response.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
There's so much money that you probably are owed that
you're not finding. I'm telling you, man, I am out
there with the billionaires not following the rules.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Either I get to write a check. I'm sorry, I
do not get a reform. I would love to tell
you here find again.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Happy CPA Appreciation days. Those are the real heroes, not wearing.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
K Unfortunately, this is the opposite of a day off
for each and every one of those people. Maybe start
those tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
If you could movies, music and all the gossip.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
In one place, it's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Well, shortly after we wrapped up the show yesterday, takeoff
happened Blue Origin, with the first all female space crew
since the sixties went up successfully. That did include celebrities
Katie Perry, who flashed a daisy on the camera feed
in honor of her daughter, as well as CBS's Gail
(01:40):
King and of course Jeff Bezos's fiance Lauren Sanchez, but
it also included NASA rocket scientist and Michigan native Aisha Bo,
civil rights activists Amanda win and film producer Carrie Anne Flynn.
Is a very cool moment for the women on three day.
(02:01):
They were also pretty awestruck at what the view in
zero gravity really looks like.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
You guys, I'll have to tell you look at the moon.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Look.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
So that was everything that was very successfully done. That
capsule with all six bladed down, landing in the dirt
by around nine yesterday morning. Lots of celebrities on hand
to watch, including Gale's bff, Oprah Winfrey. Or Lando Bloom
was in the observation area Chris Jenner and Chloe Kardashian
because why not. And it's a really funny video if
(02:34):
you haven't seen it yet of Jeff Bezos, who of
course was there running towards the capsule to greet his wife.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And face planning in the dirt. Man, he was so stoked.
Can you just see him?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Wam He narrowly misses cracking his skull on the capsule itself,
but everyone very excited.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
That was a part of the trip. However, it did
come with some drama that I will have for you
in next hour's scoop.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I thought when they were basically free falling inside of
the capsule but the parachutes, yeah, with the parasue keeping
them level, and people are like, you gotta slow them down,
Like it was h I'm watching the live stream and
people were like, they seem like they're going way too fast.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Why we have scientists and not Facebook watchers working on
things like this. Romance rumor mill continues for actor Tom
Cruise and actress on a da Armis, taking their romance
potentially to New Heights. They jetted into the UK together
after a rowan trip to Madrid, Spain, so they touched
(03:37):
down yesterday, Tom stepping off the helicopter at Farnborough Airport
with a stylish on a right behind him. Here's the thing,
these two are not being like very quiet about things.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Tom was all.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Smiles, waved to onlookers, waved at paparazzi. Ona looked really
happy as well. The two still have not shown any
kind of kissing, handholding or PDA. And there's reports that
this has all been business because they're in talks to
start together in an upcoming movie called Deeper. But they
started back on Valentine's Day when they went out to
(04:11):
dinner together, and then a month later they were spotted
at a London heliport. They've had the Spain trip.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
People aren't really sure. They're not saying anything, but at
least eyewitnesses that have seen them at dinner go that's
not just business.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I mean interesting if there are a couple out there,
I can see the business side of things for sure,
But I mean Tom Cruise's dating life I feel like
is going to be the subject of many many books
after he's long gone, because there's weird elements to it.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
For some context here on Inta Armis broke up with
Ben Affleck like right before him and j Low got
back together, so that was her last relationship. Finally, I'm
really excited I think about this, But there's been a
lot of chatter online. HBO Max announced last year they're
going to be doing a Harry Potter TV series, and
they've now officially cast their full series regulars. That includes
(05:02):
John Lithgow as Elvis Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall,
which I think is pretty good. We've got Papa Sciato
as Severis Snape and Nick Frost as Rubius Hagrid. But
they also added Luke Tallon as Professor Quarrel and Paul
Whitehouse as Argus Filch. Now, these are obviously a lot
(05:24):
of British names so far. Paul Whitehouse is the only
one that ever appeared in any of the original Harry
Potter movies and you might not even remember him, and
he played Sir Cadigan in the Prisoner of Azkaman, who
is just like one of those nights in.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
The portraits in the stairwell.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Oh, the only regular from the movies that's been cast
so far. There's a lot of back and forth on
this people are also really upset. John liftg Gough is
Dumbledore because he's not British.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I can okay fair assessment. That being said, John Lithgow's alegend.
John Lifchgow's my favorite part of this cast.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
It'll be interesting to see. It'll be interesting to see.
They still have a lot of work to go, but
they're very excited about this so far.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
They say they are on track to.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Have each season of this series be a book, so
we'll probably get to dive even deeper than the movies
got to.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
And does that mean that we're gonna have to get
we're gonna have to go through two seasons like they
did the two movies, or can we get the seventh book.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
In one more?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Not sure?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Com sometimes because I get a good feeling on a
fine point seven it's Mack and Schmidte.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I always looking to load you up with some positivity
as you start the day, and this herely we can
all use it. And I just thought this was kind
of cool, smiddy. When you picture a phone booth in England,
what do you pitch.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
The big red like doctor who bought right?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
It's iconic, right, so cool looking, so charming, so of
course you'd want to keep them around. But apparently Brits,
well they think of them like our phone booths. They're
all gone basically. But in a rural village called charing
Tin in the County of Norfolk there in England, the
residents woke up one morning finding a notice on their
British Telcom read phone box that said not enough calls
(07:04):
being made to justify its continued service. Only ten calls
had actually been made there, I guess the entire previous year.
The company said they're going to require at least fifty
two calls a year to keep that payphone in service. Well,
on March fifteenth, so a month ago today, the residents
of this little tiny village all gathered in. There's less
than like one hundred people that live there in this
(07:26):
part of the village, I guess, and they all showed
up to do a phone drive and then didn't just
hit the fifty two calls. They made over one hundred
and forty six of them in short order and BT
British Telcom agreed to keep the phone box in place.
Northfolk parliament Member Stefan R Crone said, just goes to
(07:46):
show you that communities can achieve incredible things when we
stand together to protect what matters to us. The K
six phone box is a lifeline in this small rule village.
And when BT said they were planning to remove it,
the whole of Sherrington stood up and said, absolutely not.
It is a lifeline. They've actually had to use it
for calls to emergency services and there is because of
is rural area sometimes cell phone signal isn't the best.
(08:08):
So the village was like, no, it's part of our town.
We want to keep it, and they did.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
So.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
There's something very odd that going on in Major League Baseball,
and maybe you've noticed it. It's called Banana Ball and
it's thanks to the Savannah Bananas. I guarantee you have
seen viral videos of these ballplayers dressed head to toe
and yellow, doing some very unorthodox things on the ballfield.
Dancing trick plays NonStop entertainment for the fans. As their
(08:36):
owner and founder, Jesse Cole says, it's the Harlem Globe
Trotters of baseball. In fact, a friend of mine actually
drove sixteen hours for tickets to see the Savannah Bananas Well,
Jesse was on sixty Minutes the other night talking about
this phenomenon that has taken over ballparks across the country.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
A lot of times.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
What started as just a college startup ball team is
now actually employing former MLB players. There's people that have
been on a waiting list to try and become a
part of the Savannah Bananas. They really hit their peak
on TikTok, and Jesse says, it's all about doing the
exact opposite of what fans would expect. For instance, their
(09:16):
newest edition dad Bods and Grammar cheerleaders.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Back to the mantra, whatever's normal, do the exact office.
So what are the normal cheerleaders? You would say, beautiful corges, gorgeous,
Well what about dad Bots' the same thing. What's the
typical dance team you see? Well, what if we had
Bananaana senior citizens. That's what creates the contrast, creates people
coming to see something they've ever seen before, which adds
to the level of excitement, the level of energy. And
(09:41):
so we always look at this, what's the normal way
of doing it? How can we do at the exact
office that'd be great for fans.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'm telling you guys, he is changing the world for
so many people. Yeah, the Banana Nanas an entire dance
team of just senior citizens that have found an entirely
new lease on life are traveling the country. Same at
the Dad Bod Cheerleaders. They actually include families in every
community that they visit. It is so cool, such a
(10:06):
fun interview, West Michigan Star dot com. If you want
to get yourself on the waiting list for some Savannah Bananas, what.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
About for the dad Bod cheering squad? I mean my
dreams of being a cheerleader. Yea dad Zo, Yes, I
love it all right. Feeling good, Covenant you a couple
of times a day, more positivity coming your way. This
morning at nine's one of.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Well, yesterday morning, it was the Big Blue Origin space
flight that included among the six female crew members celebrities
like Gail King and Katy Perry, as well as Jeff
Bezos's fiance Lauren Sanchez. But it did come with some controversy.
Quite a few stars in Hollywood not too impressed. Actress
Olivia Munn calling the trip gluttonous, Olivia Wild criticizing the
(10:57):
costly endeavor, showing a bunch of memes that were shared
on the internet yesterday. There were a lot of trolls
out in full forcing well, I guess billions of dollars
bought some good memes, even Amy Schumer taking to her Instagram.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Guys, last second, they added me to space and them
going to Space.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I'm bringing this thing.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
It has no meaning to me, but it was in
my bag and I was like on the subway and
I got the text and they were like, do you
want to go to Space? So I'm going to Space
and thank you to everyone who got me here, and
I'll see you guys in space.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
It was quite a bit of backlash over the fact
that it was like an eleven minute round trip expedition
and it was millions and millions of dollars when you
know the stock market is crashing and people have economic
concerns and tariffs. Gail King and Lauren Sanchez, both responding
though saying listen, criticize, it doesn't really understand what is
(12:02):
happening here. Anyone that feels that we're not doing things
that are really working towards a better future, doesn't get
what's going on. Jeff's Beyonce saying, I would love to
have these people come to Blue Origin and see the
thousands of employees that don't just work here but put
their heart and soul into this vehicle. They love their work,
they love the mission, and it is a big deal
(12:23):
for them.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I mean, I think it's I think it's valid in
a lot of ways. It's a complex thing. Space travel
always has been. When somebody sends a rocket into space
at any point in time, they're like, why we have
problems on Earth. We got to solve these ones first,
and it.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Feels like, but we're just gonna leave this and go
to another planet. Ben Afflex peeling back the curtain on
his very hard dating life, and he's actually being very,
very relatable about it. So he's been doing a huge
press tour for The Accountant Too, that's his new movie,
and he talks about his character Christian Wolf.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Struggling with dating.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Can't fo really uncomfortable around people, and it kind of
seems like art is imitating life. Ben said it is
not easy for anyone figuring out relationships, particularly at the
very early part when you're trying to gauge what does
this signal mean? Is this person looking at me?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Do they like me?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Am I going to humiliate myself if I go over there?
Just being really open about the fact that he actually
despises dating and he is as uncomfy as everybody else
with it.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
So there you go, that's Ben Affleck saying it.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Nikki Glazer I guess talked about how she's tried to
match with Ben Affleck on dating apps multiple times.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Oh there's that like really high end Yeah, only for
rich people.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And that Ben just won't do it. She's just not
there for it.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Finally, did you see the video from the White House yesterday?
As the twenty twenty five national champ Ohio State University
football team was on hand to celebrate the big victory. Unfortunately,
Vice President JD. Vance went to pick up that big
trophy and didn't quite have the grip he must have
(14:00):
thought he did.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, dropped it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
The bottom of the base broke off of the trophy
fell to the ground. Luckily, one of the players was
nearby to catch the top golden part. It was definitely
a bit of an embarrassing folly.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Uh, but NBD.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Coach Ryan Day said, no big deal. Listen, it's a
hard thing to hold. We're just excited to be here,
fancy and taking to his social media late yesterday.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Afternoon saying, I didn't want anyone.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
After Ohio State to get the trophy, so I just
decided to break it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, something like that. A nice fubble. It's a classic
Ohio State moment that I will treasure forever.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
All right, all of your celeb Scoop at West Michigan start.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Off, I wanted it to be Wednesday earlier, but it is,
in fact Tuesday, Schmitty. Schimitty corrected me. She let me
know sadly, it's back Tuesday. But yesterday, Schmitty, on our Monday,
we were tasked with doing something I know none of
us really wanted to do.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I don't know if you are as cringed out about
this as I am. Please, please Lord, don't make me
take professional photos. And you know what, I got to
give a shout out first and foremost, Ali shures in photography.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
She's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
One of our coworkers actually had their family pictures done
with her, and she did a wonderful job. But you guys,
do I hate my picture getting taken? I hate my
picture getting taken. I'm not photogenic. I don't love things
about myself. I don't ever know what to do, how
to stand, how to pose, what to do with my hands,
where to put my face? Please, Lord, just let me
(15:32):
do my own selfies. I didn't like it at my wedding.
I didn't like it at other people's weddings. I don't
like it at events. I can't stand my picture getting taken.
And so this wonderful photographer came in to do headshots
for us yesterday because we've literally never been offered that
here at iHeart, and we all need them, Like you know,
(15:52):
I'm going on to a bunch of events, I'm hosting things,
and I don't really have any professional photos.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
And she was so good.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
She was, but the only thing worse than getting your
picture taken is doing it in front of everybody else,
which is exactly why I ran upstairs really really quick
as soon as I knew she was here yesterday, and
I was like, hey, I can do this right now,
and she goes, awesome, you're my first one. I said, yep,
let's just crank these out before and there it is
(16:21):
twenty seven people walking in to watch, and I'm just curious,
what is your thing?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Please, Lord, don't make me do what I mean I could.
I think a lot of people would agree with you
on there. I am really surprised about yours Schmidty, first off,
but I gotta tell you there's nothing I hate being
asked to do more. This is so stupid. Then having
to change our TV, phone or internet packages. Bean tasked
(16:48):
with having to change those over drives me absolutely nuts
because it's always done with this open ended thing of like, well,
I don't know what we should switch to, but we're
definitely paying too much. And then it's the three hours
on the phone with Exfinity waiting on hold just so
that they can rope you back into signing a new contract,
when they inevitably go, oh, we're actually gonna drop the
(17:09):
price by like fifty percent? Is that good? Does that
work for you now? And you sit there and go,
why am I? Why was I paying? When I was paying?
If you can do this for me? And it never
ceases to be this thing that turns into a giant
pain in the butt that winds up taking me like
two three months. I get anxiety built up in my
stomach having to deal with that dumb.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
My husband's a pro.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
He just it's.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
About ten minutes and then they're like, oh, here is
this promo code we told you about.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
And he's like, that's great, thank you so much. Click.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
If I ever got that, that'd be ridiculous. I don't
think I ever.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
All of it for us, and I'm always like, good
on you, bitch, good on you.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
So many ways. I'm super surprised at yours only because
I think it's very relatable that you feel that way,
because I think that for myself and most of the
people who were in the room yesterday with you and
you're getting those photos.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I don't think anyone enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
No one enjoyed it, that's for sure. But I think
we look at you like the experts. MITTI like not
that you not that we would say you enjoy getting.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Your photota Allie mack is on this floor.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I put you guys both in the same category. Two
extremely photogenik at gorgeous, gorgeous women who crush it out
in the world and are always doing things and getting
your photo taken, doing amazing things.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Start community Instagram filters because I asked Ali that the photographer.
Alio is like, girl, I mean tell me you're putting
some paris on here or that natural two point oh.
I can go ahead and send you the stuff that
I use because no, no, no, yesterday, like I was,
I was breaking out in a cold sweat. That's the
other reason I'm like, we need to do this fast,
because I'm eventually going to have so much stress about
(18:43):
doing a photoshoot that I'm going to look unfixable. Your
retouching equipment will not take the beads of sweat off
of my eyebrows.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
That's when you begin to glisten. Schmidty.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Your listening, Oh my gosh, six one six, four five
eight one oh five seven. Please Lord, don't make me
do what to give us a call with the thing
you really despise doing the most, or hit us up
on our talk back inside our totally free iHeart radio app.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Many is so salty.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
We give her a chance to let it all out
each and every week. Get saltych minte here unstarted five
point seven. Why doesn't your husband want to watch sports
with you?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
It's not all sports, And to be fair, I think
he should have realized this because we'll watch football together.
We'll watch basketball together. He really enjoys watching the F
one races, and he is very, very knowledgeable when it
comes to sports except golf.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
We're not golfers. We don't golf.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I can't tell you that we sit down and like
watch the PGA Tour or the live thing whatever. But
every year he does enjoy watching like a few hours
of the Sunday Masters coverage, like everybody does. So I'm
sitting there on Sunday and it's obvious to so many
people because I got sent a TikTok video from even
(20:00):
different friends that were like, this was you on Sunday.
And it's just me asking Chris all these questions like, well,
where's where's Ludwig Agrin from? I don't know, Oh, who's
in the lead? Well, Justin Rose? Where's he from? I'm
not sure what does that number mean? I don't know, Well,
where is where is Rory from? I think the flag
is Ireland? Has he ever won?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Has Justin? I don't think, so Where's And.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
He's like, Lauren, I'm watching this with you for the
very first time as well. I don't golf. I don't
watch golf. I don't know where they're from. All I
can tell you is they are playing in Georgia and
they're swinging clubs. And then I just sit there stewing,
and I'm like, well, if you don't know things, you
shouldn't respond at all.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Shitty, So Salky Moodies.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Well.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Backstreet Boy Nick Harter is being sued once again, this
time by a woman who claims he assaults her and
then infected.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Her with a bunch of diseases.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
He's being sued by a woman named Laura Penley, who
claims the assault happened multiple times. In the lawsuit, she
claims she met Nick back in two thousand and four
when she was nineteen. They met up for a couple
weeks at an LA apartment and he ended up infecting
her with a few things. She says that eventually Nick
told her to keep the assault a secret because no
(21:26):
one would believe her, and then a couple months later,
Nick apologized and asked to see her again, so they
rekindled the relationship. Penley is saying she has undergone cancer
treatment because of the diseases she was given. She is
alleging the assaults caused severe emotional distress, physical anguish, medical issues,
(21:48):
and other trauma. Now Nick's lawyers are fighting back immediately,
saying this is just more of the same nonsense from
the gang of conspirators and lawyers who continue to abuse
the justice system and try to ruin Nick. Carter mixed
legal team says he does not ever remember meeting Penley
or having any kind of relationship, and says Penley has
(22:09):
a documented history of financial and legal trouble, as well
as filing for bankruptcy and even has been sued for
fraud in the past.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well, I think the one thing about this one that's
interesting is that she says all these diseases happened because
wouldn't he be able to provide some like medical records
and say I have actually never had anything they're hoping for.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
This is a really scary thing for rapper Lolna's X
telling his fans he's been hospitalized in a very worrying
health update on social media. The rapper was actually in
a hospital bed, seemingly in good spirits, even though he
revealed he has lost control of the right side of
his face. He says that paralysis all of this sudden happened.
(22:51):
Explaining more about his condition, he said, this is me
doing a full smile right now. By the way, I
can't even laugh. This is actually really horrifying, he said.
While we're normal on this side of my face, we
get really crazy over here. He said, I am so cooked.
He's feeling tired, exhausted, He's struggling with even the most
(23:12):
simple tasks, and said, don't.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Wry about me, guys.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I'm gonna be okay. I'm going to figure this out.
But right now, this is just some really scary stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
What is the difference. Isn't it Bell's palsy that has
something come up with.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
That that is a symptom of Bell's palsy. There's quite
a few different things that actually could have this happen
to you. Yeah, finally, Jack Black yelling Chicken Jockey has
of course inspired quite a few moviegoers that have gone
to a Minecraft movie to lose their minds throwing popcorn
and drinks. I've been talking about this story for a
couple of days. Well, now it's Jack Black himself showing
(23:47):
up to a theater to surprise crowds about their rowdy
behavior of.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
A Minecraft movie player's no throwing pulps corn and also
no Black, absolutely and also absolutely no shocky.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
All right, Yeah, he pops into the theater, the audience
goes absolutely wild. He sits and takes pictures with fans.
Thanks everyone for making this such a hit. If you
missed it yesterday, A Minecraft movie has just become the
biggest Hollywood blockbuster.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Of twenty twenty five so far.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Insane, But I mean, honestly, I couldn't like Jack Black anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot
Com showing.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
A fun point Seevin. It's Mack and Schmidty and it
is time to battle. To go see two of the
best comedians out there today Schmitty, it's kind.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Of weird too, one's gonna be a puppeteer and one's
just fluffy and funny. It's Jeff Dunham and Gabriele Glaciers
at the Allegan County Fair Market down for September fifth.
We've got your tickets with Battle the Sex is one
hundred men surveyed named something you wear indoors but not out.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Indoors but not out you know, you know, I would
have said pajamas, but twenty twenty changed all of that obviously.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
I mean, if you're not, we do not need to
be friends, all right. Six one, six, four, five, eight,
one oh five seven. One hundred men surveyed name something
you wear indoors but not out Number one answer, and
you are going to see Jeff Dunham and Gabriel Iglacias
with star win oh five point seven, Good morning, Star.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Who's this?
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Brie?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Let's get you to see GABRIELI. Glacias and Jeff Dunom
at the Alligae County Fair. Brie, you just gonna tell me.
When one hundred dudes were asked something you'll wear indoors
but not outdoors, what do you think? Their top answer
was slipper slippers. See. I actually got annoyed by this
question because in my head, I'm like, well, isn't the
(25:52):
old trope that you'd wear your robe and slippers outside
to get the paper every morning? I thought that was
kind of like stereotypical nineteen fifty d's nineteen sixties sort
of look. But everybody thought, just like you did, slippers
is the top answer? Wait to go bring Yeah, you
guys won. It was slippers, followed by rollers, hair rollers,
(26:13):
then a robe and a shower cap, which you know,
for one hundred guys answering that question. It did feel
like one hundred women answered that question today, right, you know,
hair rollers and shower caps. Not too many guys I
know are thinking about those very often. However, you nailed
it with the slippers, which means you're going to see
Gabriel Igalacias and comedian Jeff Dunham together at the Alligan
(26:34):
County Fair this fall. Yay, it's gonna be a blast.
We'll do it again tomorrow, eight fifteen. Battle of the
Sexies every weekday here on stocks. Good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmitty, And I want to ask you
about this Schmitty because I'm really curious if your husband
has ever tried to sell you on this before. Is
camping a romantic vacation? Camping is not camping?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Is not glamping? Absolutely is Okay?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
So my fifteenth wedding anniversary, kind of a big one,
is coming up here on April twenty fourth. I was
just reminded of this yesterday. Actually, we kind of already
celebrated the romance. I just said my wife and I
already celebrated back in November. We went and celebrated my
brother also having his fifteen so we went to Napa.
We did all that, so we're not trying to do
anything crazy for this fifteenth. But one thing that we
(27:24):
talked about was like, hey, which a you know, like
to get away just the weekend, just the two of us,
and I get in my head. I was like, Oh,
this is the perfect excuse to go kayaking. Oh that'll
be great. We'll camp on this side of the river.
It'll be beautiful. Because I love to go on a
spring kayaking trip. My wife has never done one with me,
but I've done it in snow, I've done it in.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Poor We're talking in the next few weeks.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
It's April twenty fifth.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
It's going to be a hard pass for me.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
So I went and I'm like, oh, honey, this would
be amazing, And she was like, are you out of
your stupid mind? Yell, She's like, do you think that
I'm I want to wake up on the cold dirt
after a day that we spend paddling twenty thirty miles
on a kayak, just so that, like what you can
(28:11):
make my coffee over a fire something like that, so
all of our clothes can stink and we wind up
driving into town to get breakfast. Anyway, She's like, there
is nothing about camping in April that I would find
to be in the least bit appealing for a anniversary celebration.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I have been brought out on the ice with a woodstove,
Christmas light, gormy dinner made for me by my husband,
and I would still so sorry, never camp romantically. He tried,
he pulled off, he pulled on all the stops, and
I was like, Honey, I mean, I think we've been
married long enough that you are well aware of who
I am as a person.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
It's so funny you mentioned the glamping aspect of it, though,
she because she goes, well, if you wanted to maybe
wait until later in the summer, like June at least
and get one of those campsites that has got a
beautiful view and they set up everything up for you.
And I'm like, why not just get an Airbnb on
the water someplace. Honey, you're not camping.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
No, it's so different.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I want to go out west. I've been begging Chris
to go out west. A couple of my friends did
it right down near the Grand Canyon. They did five
days of clamping and they said it's an absolutely mind
blowing experience. See and I was like, is your bed
still outside? And they were like, yeah, I go, that
is camping. I don't care if it's a king size
(29:26):
with a nice temp repedic feel, it's camping.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Sometime.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Get a.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Starting on fine point seven, it's Mack and SCHMIDI and
a couple of sports stories gets you feeling good this morning.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Man, what a night last night.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
The Detroit Red Wings sticks up in a salute for
a Detroit legend, truly getting his flowers. Announcer John Keating
is retiring after almost thirty years forty five years altogether
as a staple in the Detroit sports world. Because it
was the wings final home game, it was also John's
(30:08):
final called.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Game at Center Ice. The Red Wings, as they usually
do after a win, here journey playing and they're pointing
to John Keating, the the Red Red Wings with the
sticks up in the air for you.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
John.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
I like that very cutting part of the family.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
John, You're part of the family, and the Red Wings
are letting you know that.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
It was really really moving.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
You could see John getting very choked up, so so
many games with the Red Wings. He's also called games
for the Tigers. He's done work with the Pistons. It
was a really class act for the Red Wings to
show their true loyalty to such an incredible broadcaster and
for a bonus side of feeling good. Yes, the Red
Wings may not have made the playoffs, but that means
(30:59):
that me we are going to see some of them
join the Griffins for our playoff season.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
You know what I forgot that they do.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
That can't be confirmed.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
We did talk to a Griffin earlier this morning on
one of my other shows that said, we have not
heard anything yet, but there's a lot of times those
Red Wings will head on over to Green Rapids.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Can we have Dylan Largin? I take my pick there,
all right, schmiddy. Major League slugger and All Star Bryce
Harper who plays for the Philadelphia Phillies. He had a
pretty special at bat yesterday in the first ending of
Monday night's game against the Giants there in Philadelphia at
Citizens Bank Park. He walked to the batter's box with
a very special bat. This is cool.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Rice is at the plate, swing a miss. Now you
can take a look at the bat that he's using.
Rice is at the plate swing of a miss. Now
you can take a look at the bat that he's using.
He's using the Victis bat, the blue bat. Well, guess what.
That blue bat arrived at the ballpark today was given
to him by Trey Turner because they have just revealed
(32:03):
the gender of the Harper's next child. Really, yeah, another
gender review. That's pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
It was the blue Victis bat. This is the cool part.
The Harper's had this whole thing planned out. He's sent
in a team meeting last week. Hey, we're going to
do a gender reveal. I'd like you guys to be
a part of this. My family's not going to know,
they're going to be at the game, and I don't
want to know either. So he has his bats made
by this company called Victis Sports, and he had a
light baby blue one maid and a light pink one made.
(32:33):
And that's when before the game, Philly shortstop Trey Turner
filled reporters well, he had the choice to bust out
and give Harper the bat.
Speaker 9 (32:41):
So he ordered a pink one and a blue one.
I guess, and I got a text message with you know,
the gender and then mess with them a little bit
in the dugout, picked up the pink one and swung
it around a little bit, and he thought he was
having a girl side to mess with them a little bit,
and then I'm sure enough it was a boy, so
ended up handing the blue one and he's pretty happy.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah, Harper and his wife and family all found out
there at the game to gather his wife up top
watching from a box. But now they've already got a son,
Crew and two daughters, Brooklyn and Cameron, and baby number four.
You know, even things out a little bit, but poison.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Nobody's said anything on fire.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
This is true feeling good coming at you a couple
times to day. I always want to share something also
with you. We'll do it tomorrow six forty five and
nine to twenty on Star Mack and Schmidty in the
morning weekday, starting at six am on Star one oh
five point seven
It gets my day going and makes me laugh.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
It Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one
O five point seven. Well, good morning, Schmitty, Good morning,
and to all of those that need it. It's tax day.
Here we go, April fifteenth, final day to get your
taxes in or yeah, I guess you could file an extension.
I've never done that. We just cram and get it in.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Shout out to the CPAs. Oh, that was absolutely life
changing for us. We haven't done our own taxes in a.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Decade and you guys do them in like February. You're like,
you're all over it.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Gosh, responsible people for a little return to come back
as we speak some day.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I really hope to grow up, Schmitty. I really really
want to become a response.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
There's so much money that you probably are owed that
you're not finding. I'm telling you, man, I am out
there with the billionaires not following the rules.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Either I get to write a check. I'm sorry, I
do not get a reform. I would love to tell
you here find again.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Happy CPA Appreciation days. Those are the real heroes, not wearing.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
K Unfortunately, this is the opposite of a day off
for each and every one of those people. Maybe start
those tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
If you could movies, music and all the gossip.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
In one place, it's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Well, shortly after we wrapped up the show yesterday, takeoff
happened Blue Origin, with the first all female space crew
since the sixties went up successfully. That did include celebrities
Katie Perry, who flashed a daisy on the camera feed
in honor of her daughter, as well as CBS's Gail
(01:40):
King and of course Jeff Bezos's fiance Lauren Sanchez, but
it also included NASA rocket scientist and Michigan native Aisha Bo,
civil rights activists Amanda win and film producer Carrie Anne Flynn.
Is a very cool moment for the women on three day.
(02:01):
They were also pretty awestruck at what the view in
zero gravity really looks like.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
You guys, I'll have to tell you look at the moon.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Look.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
So that was everything that was very successfully done. That
capsule with all six bladed down, landing in the dirt
by around nine yesterday morning. Lots of celebrities on hand
to watch, including Gale's bff, Oprah Winfrey. Or Lando Bloom
was in the observation area Chris Jenner and Chloe Kardashian
because why not. And it's a really funny video if
(02:34):
you haven't seen it yet of Jeff Bezos, who of
course was there running towards the capsule to greet his wife.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And face planning in the dirt. Man, he was so stoked.
Can you just see him?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Wam He narrowly misses cracking his skull on the capsule itself,
but everyone very excited.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
That was a part of the trip. However, it did
come with some drama that I will have for you
in next hour's scoop.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I thought when they were basically free falling inside of
the capsule but the parachutes, yeah, with the parasue keeping
them level, and people are like, you gotta slow them down,
Like it was h I'm watching the live stream and
people were like, they seem like they're going way too fast.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Why we have scientists and not Facebook watchers working on
things like this. Romance rumor mill continues for actor Tom
Cruise and actress on a da Armis, taking their romance
potentially to New Heights. They jetted into the UK together
after a rowan trip to Madrid, Spain, so they touched
(03:37):
down yesterday, Tom stepping off the helicopter at Farnborough Airport
with a stylish on a right behind him. Here's the thing,
these two are not being like very quiet about things.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Tom was all.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Smiles, waved to onlookers, waved at paparazzi. Ona looked really
happy as well. The two still have not shown any
kind of kissing, handholding or PDA. And there's reports that
this has all been business because they're in talks to
start together in an upcoming movie called Deeper. But they
started back on Valentine's Day when they went out to
(04:11):
dinner together, and then a month later they were spotted
at a London heliport. They've had the Spain trip.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
People aren't really sure. They're not saying anything, but at
least eyewitnesses that have seen them at dinner go that's
not just business.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I mean interesting if there are a couple out there,
I can see the business side of things for sure,
But I mean Tom Cruise's dating life I feel like
is going to be the subject of many many books
after he's long gone, because there's weird elements to it.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
For some context here on Inta Armis broke up with
Ben Affleck like right before him and j Low got
back together, so that was her last relationship. Finally, I'm
really excited I think about this, But there's been a
lot of chatter online. HBO Max announced last year they're
going to be doing a Harry Potter TV series, and
they've now officially cast their full series regulars. That includes
(05:02):
John Lithgow as Elvis Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall,
which I think is pretty good. We've got Papa Sciato
as Severis Snape and Nick Frost as Rubius Hagrid. But
they also added Luke Tallon as Professor Quarrel and Paul
Whitehouse as Argus Filch. Now, these are obviously a lot
(05:24):
of British names so far. Paul Whitehouse is the only
one that ever appeared in any of the original Harry
Potter movies and you might not even remember him, and
he played Sir Cadigan in the Prisoner of Azkaman, who
is just like one of those nights in.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
The portraits in the stairwell.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Oh, the only regular from the movies that's been cast
so far. There's a lot of back and forth on
this people are also really upset. John liftg Gough is
Dumbledore because he's not British.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I can okay fair assessment. That being said, John Lithgow's alegend.
John Lifchgow's my favorite part of this cast.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
It'll be interesting to see. It'll be interesting to see.
They still have a lot of work to go, but
they're very excited about this so far.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
They say they are on track to.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Have each season of this series be a book, so
we'll probably get to dive even deeper than the movies
got to.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
And does that mean that we're gonna have to get
we're gonna have to go through two seasons like they
did the two movies, or can we get the seventh book.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
In one more?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Not sure?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Com sometimes because I get a good feeling on a
fine point seven it's Mack and Schmidte.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I always looking to load you up with some positivity
as you start the day, and this herely we can
all use it. And I just thought this was kind
of cool, smiddy. When you picture a phone booth in England,
what do you pitch.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
The big red like doctor who bought right?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
It's iconic, right, so cool looking, so charming, so of
course you'd want to keep them around. But apparently Brits,
well they think of them like our phone booths. They're
all gone basically. But in a rural village called charing
Tin in the County of Norfolk there in England, the
residents woke up one morning finding a notice on their
British Telcom read phone box that said not enough calls
(07:04):
being made to justify its continued service. Only ten calls
had actually been made there, I guess the entire previous year.
The company said they're going to require at least fifty
two calls a year to keep that payphone in service. Well,
on March fifteenth, so a month ago today, the residents
of this little tiny village all gathered in. There's less
than like one hundred people that live there in this
(07:26):
part of the village, I guess, and they all showed
up to do a phone drive and then didn't just
hit the fifty two calls. They made over one hundred
and forty six of them in short order and BT
British Telcom agreed to keep the phone box in place.
Northfolk parliament Member Stefan R Crone said, just goes to
(07:46):
show you that communities can achieve incredible things when we
stand together to protect what matters to us. The K
six phone box is a lifeline in this small rule village.
And when BT said they were planning to remove it,
the whole of Sherrington stood up and said, absolutely not.
It is a lifeline. They've actually had to use it
for calls to emergency services and there is because of
is rural area sometimes cell phone signal isn't the best.
(08:08):
So the village was like, no, it's part of our town.
We want to keep it, and they did.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
So.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
There's something very odd that going on in Major League Baseball,
and maybe you've noticed it. It's called Banana Ball and
it's thanks to the Savannah Bananas. I guarantee you have
seen viral videos of these ballplayers dressed head to toe
and yellow, doing some very unorthodox things on the ballfield.
Dancing trick plays NonStop entertainment for the fans. As their
(08:36):
owner and founder, Jesse Cole says, it's the Harlem Globe
Trotters of baseball. In fact, a friend of mine actually
drove sixteen hours for tickets to see the Savannah Bananas Well,
Jesse was on sixty Minutes the other night talking about
this phenomenon that has taken over ballparks across the country.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
A lot of times.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
What started as just a college startup ball team is
now actually employing former MLB players. There's people that have
been on a waiting list to try and become a
part of the Savannah Bananas. They really hit their peak
on TikTok, and Jesse says, it's all about doing the
exact opposite of what fans would expect. For instance, their
(09:16):
newest edition dad Bods and Grammar cheerleaders.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Back to the mantra, whatever's normal, do the exact office.
So what are the normal cheerleaders? You would say, beautiful corges, gorgeous,
Well what about dad Bots' the same thing. What's the
typical dance team you see? Well, what if we had
Bananaana senior citizens. That's what creates the contrast, creates people
coming to see something they've ever seen before, which adds
to the level of excitement, the level of energy. And
(09:41):
so we always look at this, what's the normal way
of doing it? How can we do at the exact
office that'd be great for fans.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'm telling you guys, he is changing the world for
so many people. Yeah, the Banana Nanas an entire dance
team of just senior citizens that have found an entirely
new lease on life are traveling the country. Same at
the Dad Bod Cheerleaders. They actually include families in every
community that they visit. It is so cool, such a
(10:06):
fun interview, West Michigan Star dot com. If you want
to get yourself on the waiting list for some Savannah Bananas, what.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
About for the dad Bod cheering squad? I mean my
dreams of being a cheerleader. Yea dad Zo, Yes, I
love it all right. Feeling good, Covenant you a couple
of times a day, more positivity coming your way. This
morning at nine's one of.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Well, yesterday morning, it was the Big Blue Origin space
flight that included among the six female crew members celebrities
like Gail King and Katy Perry, as well as Jeff
Bezos's fiance Lauren Sanchez. But it did come with some controversy.
Quite a few stars in Hollywood not too impressed. Actress
Olivia Munn calling the trip gluttonous, Olivia Wild criticizing the
(10:57):
costly endeavor, showing a bunch of memes that were shared
on the internet yesterday. There were a lot of trolls
out in full forcing well, I guess billions of dollars
bought some good memes, even Amy Schumer taking to her Instagram.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Guys, last second, they added me to space and them
going to Space.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I'm bringing this thing.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
It has no meaning to me, but it was in
my bag and I was like on the subway and
I got the text and they were like, do you
want to go to Space? So I'm going to Space
and thank you to everyone who got me here, and
I'll see you guys in space.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
It was quite a bit of backlash over the fact
that it was like an eleven minute round trip expedition
and it was millions and millions of dollars when you
know the stock market is crashing and people have economic
concerns and tariffs. Gail King and Lauren Sanchez, both responding
though saying listen, criticize, it doesn't really understand what is
(12:02):
happening here. Anyone that feels that we're not doing things
that are really working towards a better future, doesn't get
what's going on. Jeff's Beyonce saying, I would love to
have these people come to Blue Origin and see the
thousands of employees that don't just work here but put
their heart and soul into this vehicle. They love their work,
they love the mission, and it is a big deal
(12:23):
for them.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I mean, I think it's I think it's valid in
a lot of ways. It's a complex thing. Space travel
always has been. When somebody sends a rocket into space
at any point in time, they're like, why we have
problems on Earth. We got to solve these ones first,
and it.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Feels like, but we're just gonna leave this and go
to another planet. Ben Afflex peeling back the curtain on
his very hard dating life, and he's actually being very,
very relatable about it. So he's been doing a huge
press tour for The Accountant Too, that's his new movie,
and he talks about his character Christian Wolf.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Struggling with dating.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Can't fo really uncomfortable around people, and it kind of
seems like art is imitating life. Ben said it is
not easy for anyone figuring out relationships, particularly at the
very early part when you're trying to gauge what does
this signal mean? Is this person looking at me?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Do they like me?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Am I going to humiliate myself if I go over there?
Just being really open about the fact that he actually
despises dating and he is as uncomfy as everybody else
with it.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
So there you go, that's Ben Affleck saying it.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Nikki Glazer I guess talked about how she's tried to
match with Ben Affleck on dating apps multiple times.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Oh there's that like really high end Yeah, only for
rich people.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And that Ben just won't do it. She's just not
there for it.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Finally, did you see the video from the White House yesterday?
As the twenty twenty five national champ Ohio State University
football team was on hand to celebrate the big victory. Unfortunately,
Vice President JD. Vance went to pick up that big
trophy and didn't quite have the grip he must have
(14:00):
thought he did.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, dropped it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
The bottom of the base broke off of the trophy
fell to the ground. Luckily, one of the players was
nearby to catch the top golden part. It was definitely
a bit of an embarrassing folly.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Uh, but NBD.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Coach Ryan Day said, no big deal. Listen, it's a
hard thing to hold. We're just excited to be here,
fancy and taking to his social media late yesterday.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Afternoon saying, I didn't want anyone.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
After Ohio State to get the trophy, so I just
decided to break it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, something like that. A nice fubble. It's a classic
Ohio State moment that I will treasure forever.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
All right, all of your celeb Scoop at West Michigan start.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Off, I wanted it to be Wednesday earlier, but it is,
in fact Tuesday, Schmitty. Schimitty corrected me. She let me
know sadly, it's back Tuesday. But yesterday, Schmitty, on our Monday,
we were tasked with doing something I know none of
us really wanted to do.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I don't know if you are as cringed out about
this as I am. Please, please Lord, don't make me
take professional photos. And you know what, I got to
give a shout out first and foremost, Ali shures in photography.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
She's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
One of our coworkers actually had their family pictures done
with her, and she did a wonderful job. But you guys,
do I hate my picture getting taken? I hate my
picture getting taken. I'm not photogenic. I don't love things
about myself. I don't ever know what to do, how
to stand, how to pose, what to do with my hands,
where to put my face? Please, Lord, just let me
(15:32):
do my own selfies. I didn't like it at my wedding.
I didn't like it at other people's weddings. I don't
like it at events. I can't stand my picture getting taken.
And so this wonderful photographer came in to do headshots
for us yesterday because we've literally never been offered that
here at iHeart, and we all need them, Like you know,
(15:52):
I'm going on to a bunch of events, I'm hosting things,
and I don't really have any professional photos.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
And she was so good.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
She was, but the only thing worse than getting your
picture taken is doing it in front of everybody else,
which is exactly why I ran upstairs really really quick
as soon as I knew she was here yesterday, and
I was like, hey, I can do this right now,
and she goes, awesome, you're my first one. I said, yep,
let's just crank these out before and there it is
(16:21):
twenty seven people walking in to watch, and I'm just curious,
what is your thing?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Please, Lord, don't make me do what I mean I could.
I think a lot of people would agree with you
on there. I am really surprised about yours Schmidty, first off,
but I gotta tell you there's nothing I hate being
asked to do more. This is so stupid. Then having
to change our TV, phone or internet packages. Bean tasked
(16:48):
with having to change those over drives me absolutely nuts
because it's always done with this open ended thing of like, well,
I don't know what we should switch to, but we're
definitely paying too much. And then it's the three hours
on the phone with Exfinity waiting on hold just so
that they can rope you back into signing a new contract,
when they inevitably go, oh, we're actually gonna drop the
(17:09):
price by like fifty percent? Is that good? Does that
work for you now? And you sit there and go,
why am I? Why was I paying? When I was paying?
If you can do this for me? And it never
ceases to be this thing that turns into a giant
pain in the butt that winds up taking me like
two three months. I get anxiety built up in my
stomach having to deal with that dumb.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
My husband's a pro.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
He just it's.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
About ten minutes and then they're like, oh, here is
this promo code we told you about.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
And he's like, that's great, thank you so much. Click.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
If I ever got that, that'd be ridiculous. I don't
think I ever.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
All of it for us, and I'm always like, good
on you, bitch, good on you.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
So many ways. I'm super surprised at yours only because
I think it's very relatable that you feel that way,
because I think that for myself and most of the
people who were in the room yesterday with you and
you're getting those photos.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I don't think anyone enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
No one enjoyed it, that's for sure. But I think
we look at you like the experts. MITTI like not
that you not that we would say you enjoy getting.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Your photota Allie mack is on this floor.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I put you guys both in the same category. Two
extremely photogenik at gorgeous, gorgeous women who crush it out
in the world and are always doing things and getting
your photo taken, doing amazing things.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Start community Instagram filters because I asked Ali that the photographer.
Alio is like, girl, I mean tell me you're putting
some paris on here or that natural two point oh.
I can go ahead and send you the stuff that
I use because no, no, no, yesterday, like I was,
I was breaking out in a cold sweat. That's the
other reason I'm like, we need to do this fast,
because I'm eventually going to have so much stress about
(18:43):
doing a photoshoot that I'm going to look unfixable. Your
retouching equipment will not take the beads of sweat off
of my eyebrows.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
That's when you begin to glisten. Schmidty.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Your listening, Oh my gosh, six one six, four five
eight one oh five seven. Please Lord, don't make me
do what to give us a call with the thing
you really despise doing the most, or hit us up
on our talk back inside our totally free iHeart radio app.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Many is so salty.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
We give her a chance to let it all out
each and every week. Get saltych minte here unstarted five
point seven. Why doesn't your husband want to watch sports
with you?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
It's not all sports, And to be fair, I think
he should have realized this because we'll watch football together.
We'll watch basketball together. He really enjoys watching the F
one races, and he is very, very knowledgeable when it
comes to sports except golf.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
We're not golfers. We don't golf.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I can't tell you that we sit down and like
watch the PGA Tour or the live thing whatever. But
every year he does enjoy watching like a few hours
of the Sunday Masters coverage, like everybody does. So I'm
sitting there on Sunday and it's obvious to so many
people because I got sent a TikTok video from even
(20:00):
different friends that were like, this was you on Sunday.
And it's just me asking Chris all these questions like, well,
where's where's Ludwig Agrin from? I don't know, Oh, who's
in the lead? Well, Justin Rose? Where's he from? I'm
not sure what does that number mean? I don't know, Well,
where is where is Rory from? I think the flag
is Ireland? Has he ever won?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Has Justin? I don't think, so Where's And.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
He's like, Lauren, I'm watching this with you for the
very first time as well. I don't golf. I don't
watch golf. I don't know where they're from. All I
can tell you is they are playing in Georgia and
they're swinging clubs. And then I just sit there stewing,
and I'm like, well, if you don't know things, you
shouldn't respond at all.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Shitty, So Salky Moodies.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Well.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Backstreet Boy Nick Harter is being sued once again, this
time by a woman who claims he assaults her and
then infected.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Her with a bunch of diseases.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
He's being sued by a woman named Laura Penley, who
claims the assault happened multiple times. In the lawsuit, she
claims she met Nick back in two thousand and four
when she was nineteen. They met up for a couple
weeks at an LA apartment and he ended up infecting
her with a few things. She says that eventually Nick
told her to keep the assault a secret because no
(21:26):
one would believe her, and then a couple months later,
Nick apologized and asked to see her again, so they
rekindled the relationship. Penley is saying she has undergone cancer
treatment because of the diseases she was given. She is
alleging the assaults caused severe emotional distress, physical anguish, medical issues,
(21:48):
and other trauma. Now Nick's lawyers are fighting back immediately,
saying this is just more of the same nonsense from
the gang of conspirators and lawyers who continue to abuse
the justice system and try to ruin Nick. Carter mixed
legal team says he does not ever remember meeting Penley
or having any kind of relationship, and says Penley has
(22:09):
a documented history of financial and legal trouble, as well
as filing for bankruptcy and even has been sued for
fraud in the past.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well, I think the one thing about this one that's
interesting is that she says all these diseases happened because
wouldn't he be able to provide some like medical records
and say I have actually never had anything they're hoping for.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
This is a really scary thing for rapper Lolna's X
telling his fans he's been hospitalized in a very worrying
health update on social media. The rapper was actually in
a hospital bed, seemingly in good spirits, even though he
revealed he has lost control of the right side of
his face. He says that paralysis all of this sudden happened.
(22:51):
Explaining more about his condition, he said, this is me
doing a full smile right now. By the way, I
can't even laugh. This is actually really horrifying, he said.
While we're normal on this side of my face, we
get really crazy over here. He said, I am so cooked.
He's feeling tired, exhausted, He's struggling with even the most
(23:12):
simple tasks, and said, don't.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Wry about me, guys.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I'm gonna be okay. I'm going to figure this out.
But right now, this is just some really scary stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
What is the difference. Isn't it Bell's palsy that has
something come up with.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
That that is a symptom of Bell's palsy. There's quite
a few different things that actually could have this happen
to you. Yeah, finally, Jack Black yelling Chicken Jockey has
of course inspired quite a few moviegoers that have gone
to a Minecraft movie to lose their minds throwing popcorn
and drinks. I've been talking about this story for a
couple of days. Well, now it's Jack Black himself showing
(23:47):
up to a theater to surprise crowds about their rowdy
behavior of.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
A Minecraft movie player's no throwing pulps corn and also
no Black, absolutely and also absolutely no shocky.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
All right, Yeah, he pops into the theater, the audience
goes absolutely wild. He sits and takes pictures with fans.
Thanks everyone for making this such a hit. If you
missed it yesterday, A Minecraft movie has just become the
biggest Hollywood blockbuster.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Of twenty twenty five so far.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Insane, But I mean, honestly, I couldn't like Jack Black anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot
Com showing.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
A fun point Seevin. It's Mack and Schmidty and it
is time to battle. To go see two of the
best comedians out there today Schmitty, it's kind.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Of weird too, one's gonna be a puppeteer and one's
just fluffy and funny. It's Jeff Dunham and Gabriele Glaciers
at the Allegan County Fair Market down for September fifth.
We've got your tickets with Battle the Sex is one
hundred men surveyed named something you wear indoors but not out.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Indoors but not out you know, you know, I would
have said pajamas, but twenty twenty changed all of that obviously.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
I mean, if you're not, we do not need to
be friends, all right. Six one, six, four, five, eight,
one oh five seven. One hundred men surveyed name something
you wear indoors but not out Number one answer, and
you are going to see Jeff Dunham and Gabriel Iglacias
with star win oh five point seven, Good morning, Star.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Who's this?
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Brie?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Let's get you to see GABRIELI. Glacias and Jeff Dunom
at the Alligae County Fair. Brie, you just gonna tell me.
When one hundred dudes were asked something you'll wear indoors
but not outdoors, what do you think? Their top answer
was slipper slippers. See. I actually got annoyed by this
question because in my head, I'm like, well, isn't the
(25:52):
old trope that you'd wear your robe and slippers outside
to get the paper every morning? I thought that was
kind of like stereotypical nineteen fifty d's nineteen sixties sort
of look. But everybody thought, just like you did, slippers
is the top answer? Wait to go bring Yeah, you
guys won. It was slippers, followed by rollers, hair rollers,
(26:13):
then a robe and a shower cap, which you know,
for one hundred guys answering that question. It did feel
like one hundred women answered that question today, right, you know,
hair rollers and shower caps. Not too many guys I
know are thinking about those very often. However, you nailed
it with the slippers, which means you're going to see
Gabriel Igalacias and comedian Jeff Dunham together at the Alligan
(26:34):
County Fair this fall. Yay, it's gonna be a blast.
We'll do it again tomorrow, eight fifteen. Battle of the
Sexies every weekday here on stocks. Good morning to you.
It's Mack and Schmitty, And I want to ask you
about this Schmitty because I'm really curious if your husband
has ever tried to sell you on this before. Is
camping a romantic vacation? Camping is not camping?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Is not glamping? Absolutely is Okay?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
So my fifteenth wedding anniversary, kind of a big one,
is coming up here on April twenty fourth. I was
just reminded of this yesterday. Actually, we kind of already
celebrated the romance. I just said my wife and I
already celebrated back in November. We went and celebrated my
brother also having his fifteen so we went to Napa.
We did all that, so we're not trying to do
anything crazy for this fifteenth. But one thing that we
(27:24):
talked about was like, hey, which a you know, like
to get away just the weekend, just the two of us,
and I get in my head. I was like, Oh,
this is the perfect excuse to go kayaking. Oh that'll
be great. We'll camp on this side of the river.
It'll be beautiful. Because I love to go on a
spring kayaking trip. My wife has never done one with me,
but I've done it in snow, I've done it in.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Poor We're talking in the next few weeks.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
It's April twenty fifth.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
It's going to be a hard pass for me.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
So I went and I'm like, oh, honey, this would
be amazing, And she was like, are you out of
your stupid mind? Yell, She's like, do you think that
I'm I want to wake up on the cold dirt
after a day that we spend paddling twenty thirty miles
on a kayak, just so that, like what you can
(28:11):
make my coffee over a fire something like that, so
all of our clothes can stink and we wind up
driving into town to get breakfast. Anyway, She's like, there
is nothing about camping in April that I would find
to be in the least bit appealing for a anniversary celebration.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I have been brought out on the ice with a woodstove,
Christmas light, gormy dinner made for me by my husband,
and I would still so sorry, never camp romantically. He tried,
he pulled off, he pulled on all the stops, and
I was like, Honey, I mean, I think we've been
married long enough that you are well aware of who
I am as a person.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
It's so funny you mentioned the glamping aspect of it, though,
she because she goes, well, if you wanted to maybe
wait until later in the summer, like June at least
and get one of those campsites that has got a
beautiful view and they set up everything up for you.
And I'm like, why not just get an Airbnb on
the water someplace. Honey, you're not camping.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
No, it's so different.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I want to go out west. I've been begging Chris
to go out west. A couple of my friends did
it right down near the Grand Canyon. They did five
days of clamping and they said it's an absolutely mind
blowing experience. See and I was like, is your bed
still outside? And they were like, yeah, I go, that
is camping. I don't care if it's a king size
(29:26):
with a nice temp repedic feel, it's camping.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Sometime.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Get a.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Starting on fine point seven, it's Mack and SCHMIDI and
a couple of sports stories gets you feeling good this morning.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Man, what a night last night.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
The Detroit Red Wings sticks up in a salute for
a Detroit legend, truly getting his flowers. Announcer John Keating
is retiring after almost thirty years forty five years altogether
as a staple in the Detroit sports world. Because it
was the wings final home game, it was also John's
(30:08):
final called.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Game at Center Ice. The Red Wings, as they usually
do after a win, here journey playing and they're pointing
to John Keating, the the Red Red Wings with the
sticks up in the air for you.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
John.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
I like that very cutting part of the family.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
John, You're part of the family, and the Red Wings
are letting you know that.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
It was really really moving.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
You could see John getting very choked up, so so
many games with the Red Wings. He's also called games
for the Tigers. He's done work with the Pistons. It
was a really class act for the Red Wings to
show their true loyalty to such an incredible broadcaster and
for a bonus side of feeling good. Yes, the Red
Wings may not have made the playoffs, but that means
(30:59):
that me we are going to see some of them
join the Griffins for our playoff season.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
You know what I forgot that they do.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
That can't be confirmed.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
We did talk to a Griffin earlier this morning on
one of my other shows that said, we have not
heard anything yet, but there's a lot of times those
Red Wings will head on over to Green Rapids.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Can we have Dylan Largin? I take my pick there,
all right, schmiddy. Major League slugger and All Star Bryce
Harper who plays for the Philadelphia Phillies. He had a
pretty special at bat yesterday in the first ending of
Monday night's game against the Giants there in Philadelphia at
Citizens Bank Park. He walked to the batter's box with
a very special bat. This is cool.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Rice is at the plate, swing a miss. Now you
can take a look at the bat that he's using.
Rice is at the plate swing of a miss. Now
you can take a look at the bat that he's using.
He's using the Victis bat, the blue bat. Well, guess what.
That blue bat arrived at the ballpark today was given
to him by Trey Turner because they have just revealed
(32:03):
the gender of the Harper's next child. Really, yeah, another
gender review. That's pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
It was the blue Victis bat. This is the cool part.
The Harper's had this whole thing planned out. He's sent
in a team meeting last week. Hey, we're going to
do a gender reveal. I'd like you guys to be
a part of this. My family's not going to know,
they're going to be at the game, and I don't
want to know either. So he has his bats made
by this company called Victis Sports, and he had a
light baby blue one maid and a light pink one made.
(32:33):
And that's when before the game, Philly shortstop Trey Turner
filled reporters well, he had the choice to bust out
and give Harper the bat.
Speaker 9 (32:41):
So he ordered a pink one and a blue one.
I guess, and I got a text message with you know,
the gender and then mess with them a little bit
in the dugout, picked up the pink one and swung
it around a little bit, and he thought he was
having a girl side to mess with them a little bit,
and then I'm sure enough it was a boy, so
ended up handing the blue one and he's pretty happy.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah, Harper and his wife and family all found out
there at the game to gather his wife up top
watching from a box. But now they've already got a son,
Crew and two daughters, Brooklyn and Cameron, and baby number four.
You know, even things out a little bit, but poison.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Nobody's said anything on fire.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
This is true feeling good coming at you a couple
times to day. I always want to share something also
with you. We'll do it tomorrow six forty five and
nine to twenty on Star Mack and Schmidty in the
morning weekday, starting at six am on Star one oh
five point seven
