Speaker 1 (00:07):
It gets my day going and makes me laugh.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I of it.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one O
five point seven.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Well, good morning, Smitty, Good morning. Welcoming to your Thursday,
or as you're referred to it. Last week, we always
called it weekend Eve, and you went with.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Weekend Friday Junior. Yes, weekend. Let's stick with what you know.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Friday Junior. It is too weird. I liked it all right.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Yeah it is Thursday, guys, and year up because it's
gonna be I think, a pretty warm, lovely Thursday. I
got some hammock time in yesterday. I couldn't believe it.
We're getting treated. We're starting in the mid thirties, get
a finish in the mid sixties. Today though still breezy,
and if if if I got to bring it down
a notch, it's only that. As we look ahead to
this Easter weekend, I feel like there's gonna be some
(00:52):
indoor Easter egg hunts going on smitting oh really, or
some runny pasor Michiganders.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You'll be out there.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I've been in snowsuits look for Easter eggs in eight
inches of the wet stuff, y'all.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
We can do this, that's the way the Easter Bunny intended.
I'm pretty Georg Schmiddy.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I like that, movies, music, and all the gossip in
one place.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It's the celebrities group on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Well, Tesla founder Elon Musk is less than impressed with
a Wall Street Journal article detailing his many relationships, and
there's rumor he may be looking at legal action. So
the Wall Street Journal came out with a report detailing
Musk's many relationships with various baby mamas and his alleged
attempts at keeping things very quiet. Musk has at least
(01:41):
fourteen children with four separate women, including Grimes, Ashley Saint Clair,
and Chavon Zillis, who is actually a Neuralink executive and
technically his employee. But according to this report, Musk often
claims there's a fertility crisis in America, saying civilization is
at risk if we don't start making more babies, and
(02:02):
very quickly. They also cite a text message from Elon
to Saint Clair about bringing in other surrogate mothers to
birth more babies before we reached the legion level of apocalypse.
The Wall Street Journal went on to say Saint Clair
received two million dollars for expenses while she was secretly
(02:23):
and privately pregnant, and then honored Musk's request to keep
his name off their child's birth certificate. When the baby
was born last year, however, reportedly refused to sign an
NDA and later demanded a paternity test. She is now
suing Elon for sole custody of their child, named Romulus.
Wall Street says they've also reached out to other women
who say they were propositioned by him on X to
(02:45):
become a part of this surrogate motherhood to save the
world now. While Elon has not publicly commented about this
Wall Street Journal report, he did take two X, which
he owns, simply writing tnzer greater than greater than WSJ
I means a lot in this report.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
It is. But you can't have a profile as high
it as his and have all this stuff going on
in your personal life and think people aren't going to
be curious about it. I think that people aren going
to try and dig into it.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, Actor Haley, Joel Osmond, you'll know him best.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
People.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I'm walking out like regular people, fortunately facing legal trouble
yet again. The veteran actor arrested a couple of days
ago after cops got a call just before two o'clock
in the afternoon about an allegedly intoxicated individual at Mammoth
Mountain Resort. This report just coming out. SKI Patrol was
(03:42):
there with Osmon when cops arrived. He was booked for
public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance. Even cops
unseen weren't exactly sure what it was. It had to
be sent to a lab to determine what that is.
Hailey was booked and released shortly after the arrest, and
now it is up to the County DA to decide
whether they are going to prosecute the case. Sources familiar
(04:06):
with the situation say, unfortunately, Haley's been going through quite
a bit lately. He is one of those in Hollywood
that lost everything in the Altadino wildfire. He's had issues
with insurance, he is having problems with money because of this,
and he has obviously had some history with alcohol abuse.
So really hope that this isn't anything super serious.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, he's had some trouble with the law, I feel
like in the past a few times too. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Finally, the Emmy in the Michelle tract in bird case
officially releasing her cause of death, and unfortunately, like we
thought complications of die of beat is we don't know
whether Michelle had Type one or type two. They are
simply classifying the death as natural, meaning that investigation is
now closed. At this point, all of your celeb scoop
(04:53):
at West Michigan start off come.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Sometime.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Does that get a good.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Feeling to be a sunny day, especially early on when
TAM's getting into the mid sixties. Lots to feel good about.
Here's a couple more things for you too. This was
neat to see. Of course. Love the USA Today top
ten polls and Michigan seems to do really well in there.
And that is true again when it comes to determining
the top main street in all of America. Because it's
(05:21):
just a ride down ninety six Howell Michigan Schmidty was
named as the number four best downtown main street in
all of America. Pretty wild. The results have shared yesterday,
after nominations from an expert panel and then votes by
readers across the country. Pretty cool. USA Today sharing that
Howl's Grand River Avenue, home to tons of historic buildings,
(05:44):
They've got a variety of different unique shops, local eateries,
the Howell Opera House, and the city's popular Two Folks Pub,
both being mentioned in there. Pretty cool. Have you ever
been to downtown Holland?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah, I have a friend that lived there.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, I've never met there before. I guess I feel
like I got to make the road train down there.
I mean just in between here in Detroit, and we've
got one of the top downtowns in all of America
right there by the way, if you're interested, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
taking the top spot.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
This is such an incredible story. A two year old
little boy who spent the night completely alone in the
remote Arizona wilderness was led to safety by none other
than a ranchers dog. A huge search operation was launched
when the boy disappeared from his home in Arizona around
five pm on Monday, who was wearing only a blue
(06:31):
tank top and pajama pants. It turns out he walked
seven miles through mountain lion infested territory before a ranchers
dog found him. The Sheriff's office had more than forty
rescuers joined in the operation a Department of Public Safety helicopter,
(06:51):
but it was Buford. Beuford is the ranchers dog. Steve
Dutton is his name, and he said, unbelievable. He was
going around to check his property. He's a bat farmer,
and suddenly this little blonde haired boy was walking up
the path being led by Beuford. He looked and immediately
recognized the boy's face as a missing poster he had seen. Unreal.
(07:12):
Beauford found him more than a couple miles away from
the farm, sleeping under a tree, and walked him all
the way back home to safety. Steve is blown away.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
There was a thousand ways for that to go really
really bad, and one good way, and luckily it turned
out to be the good way.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
She's cooking him a steak for dinner tonight.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Ah, Buford, you're getting a steak tonight, Dunton says. Viewed
were Buford loves kids. He imagines that once he spotted
this little guy, there was no way he was going
to leave him unless he was safe.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I mean, that's on about seven miles.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
For seven miles in Mountain Lion territory, there were two
mountain lions spotted.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
That is just insane. Feel like good coming at you.
A couple Times today. I always wanted to share great
things going on. We'll do it again coming up this
morning at nine.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
So I want to do movies, music, and all the
gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It's a celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Well, Blake Lively is getting quite a few accolades, having
been named a Titan on Time Magazine's annual one hundred
most Influential People list. This is pretty crazy. The list
was dropped yesterday. It includes other Titans like Serena Williams,
SNL creator Lauren Michaels, Simone Biles, and Mark Zuckerberg. Now,
(08:26):
the Titans category different from just your run of the
mill influential people. The Titans category are for leaders in
their field who have made a transformative impact on the world.
We're talking names like Bill Gates, Michelle Obama, and George W.
Bush that have been given this title in the past.
Sherry Lynn Eiffel is a notable civil rights attorney and
(08:48):
actually wrote the piece about Blake Lively four Time Magazine,
saying while she has never seen the TV show gossip
Girl or paid much attention to Blake on the red carpet,
Shery Lynn he knows her instead as a quote philanthropist
and student of our country's most intractable problems. She talks
(09:08):
about the money that Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds
have donated to, including the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and
how much research has gone into it for both of
them to support people that really needed.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I have no issue with Blake Lively. She doesn't belong in.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
That category, a titan category. A lot of people this
morning are kind of like, Oh, that's a different narrative
than we've been hearing speaking of that time one hundred
Serena Williams, like I said on the list and clearing
the air about her Super Bowl halftime cameo. So the
tennis legend opened up to time about hitting the stage
(09:46):
with none other than Kendrick Lamar for his Super Bowl
halftime performance when he did this hit not Like Us.
If you're not aware, this is a disc track directed
at Canadian rapper Drake because of their long running, highly
publicized feud, and at the time Williams appeared on stage
performing a crip walk during the song, people immediately went wild,
(10:08):
saying she was dancing on Drake's grave. She was shooting
shade because the two had had some history romantically. Serena
is saying that is not it at all. She tells Tim,
absolutely not, I would never do that. That was sad
that anyone would ever think that. I respect how they could, obviously,
I can see how someone would think that, but absolutely not.
I've never had negative feelings towards Drake. We have both
(10:31):
known him for so many years. She said, her and
Kendrick had simply been trying to work together for ages
and this was a perfect opportunity.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yeah, both Compton natives right there too, at a long
history show. I mean, think what you ought about the
Drake insult, but I still think it's fine. They were
performed again.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Finally. Benson Boone is still riding that Coachella high, but
making it very clear he is not trying to be
a new Freddie Mercury. If you missed it, he had
an unbelievable performance last weekend doing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, when
all of a sudden, Brian May comes up on stage
starts shredding on the guitar, and everybody had the same
(11:10):
thing to say. Benson Boone absolutely nailed Freddie Mercury. But
it's a great compliment. Freddy is in a league of
his own.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Honestly, I take that as a huge compliment.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
I'm not trying to be anybody else but myself, but
like to hear that is it is incredible.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah, you've got to see the outfit as well. I've
got the video if you missed that Coachella performance at
West Michigan startup.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Easter weekend is on deck, SHMITTI and you just said
something that has definitely been on my mind for last year.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
You're gonna hit, It's gonna hit. When did Easter become
the new Christmas? And I feel like I have seen
this really ramp up in the last couple of years,
where even friends of mine use Easter as this opportunity
to just give some of the most lavish, expensive, unbelievable gifts.
And I'm here sitting like I thought, we just did
(12:03):
that three months ago. So I came across a really
great TikTok yesterday. Her name is Violet Rose, and she's
a mom, and just said exactly what I think a
lot of parents are feeling about the pressure of Easter
this weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
This is just your friendly reminder that Easter is not Christmas.
I don't know when it became so normalized to make
every single holiday another Christmas.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
If all you get your kids is a piece of candy,
nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
That's totally fine.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
If you don't get your kids anything at all for Easter,
that's also totally fine. Easter and holidays in general are
not about gift giving. You're about spending time with your
family and taking a moment to pause and reflect on
what you have and be thankful for what you have.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
So I grew up getting Easter baskets. I got them
well into adulthood, which was really nice, and they were
always cute things like you'd get, you know, a couple
of the chocolate eggs, you'd get some jelly beans. I
think maybe we'd get like a kite or or something
to play with in the springtime. I know someone getting
(13:03):
their child a hoverboard for Easter, like a three hundred
dollars hoverboard. And I'm over here thinking what am I
supposed to say when my son comes home from school
on Tuesday next week and is like, yeah, so and
so got in his easy If it doesn't fit in
a basket, it doesn't belong in a basket. And I
(13:24):
don't know if I'm missing something here. I mean, we'd
go to church, we'd do our Easter ed hunt, we'd
spend time with my grandparents. That was always Easter. It
was never something this lavish. I knew someone last year
that they surprised their kids with tickets to Disney World.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, for Easter. I mean, you're not wrong. Things aren't
getting nuts. We actually had the experience a couple of
years ago where we were doing Easter with my big
brother and he and his wife. They are amazing, amazing parents,
but they make a lot more money than my wife
and I do, and so their level of gift giving
was on our level of gift giving when it came
(14:02):
to Easter, and literally we felt bad about it. And
I talked to my brother. I was like, dude, what
are you doing. You've got Easter egg things attached to
like one hundred dollars gifts?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It was it was absurd, and he goes, you know what,
We've actually talked about this too. They wound up scaling
their Easter back because.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Oh, just twenties.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well no, I'm just saying that, like they weren't hundred
dollars bills or anything like that. But it was like
a new Pictures It was like a new Picture's mit
for his son that was like one hundred and twenty
dollars MIT like stuff like that that we're we were
just like, we're not doing anything like that. We wouldn't
we probably wouldn't spend one hundred dollars total on the
stuff that's going to go into one of our kids'
easter baskets. So I just want to.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Spend time with people like that. I don't want to
spend my holiday with people like that. I mean, it's
what this mom is saying. She's like, the point of
this is for you to be very grateful. It's it's renewal.
It's beginning right, the resurrection being with them not handing
over plane tickets for something this summer in an easter basket.
(15:06):
And I don't I just say, don't get the competition
among some parents for this kind of thing. It's becoming
very real to me the more my kids kind of
move through school where I'm like, oh, I guess I
am just really gonna find my tribe of people, and
it's not going to be the people putting, you know,
(15:26):
fifty dollars bills into Easter egg hunts. I just I
think that's wild, and I'm sure a lot of you
are maybe feeling that pressure right now. So maybe you've
seen this, I don't know. Six one, six, four, five, eight,
one oh five seven. How are you spending your Easter?
This upcoming weekend?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Movies?
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
It's the celebrities group on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
You know, we talk about a lot on the Kardashians
and how public they are about every aspect of their lives.
But for Chloe Kardashian, she kept at least a little
bit of what went down during her marriage to lamar
Odom a complete secret because this story is wild. Chloe
just found herself on the callar Daddy podcast the episode
(16:13):
released yesterday, where she specifically details a moment that she
tracked now ex husband, former NBA star lamar Odom to
a woman he was cheating on Chloe with.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
We were married. He was doing his thing and he
went down to some motel in downtown LA and was
with a girl. I was there and I remember asking
the guy at the front. I was like, hey, is
lamar Odem, where's lamar Ode? Like Pete told me we
were a room he was in. I saw in the
window that him and this girl were that I knocked
(16:48):
on the door. They answered it for some reason, and
I just started going ballistic. And I remember the next
day it was I think Penelope's birthday party, and it
was a cowboy party, and my knuckles were all bloody
and gross, and I just had bandanas wrapped around. I
was on theme, and I acted as if nothing ever happened.
And I don't think I ever said a thing.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
What bloodied knuckles from this? And she said in the podcast,
Lamar will know exactly what story I'm talking about, but
I have never publicly discussed this.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I'm curious to know whether the bloody knuckles were against
Lamar or against Lamar's mistress. I don't think you can.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Even call her a mistress. He had a lot of
people on the side. Chloe says that she was twenty
six at the time, very young, she said, still old
enough to probably know better than how I acted, But
is any much better place in her life right now?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Ooh.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Bobby Brown not a fan of Britney Spears, especially Spears's
cover of his nineteen eighty eight hit My prerogative. So
Brown actually appeared on the Club Shayshe podcast yesterday with
Shannon Sharp when Shannon asked.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Him, woo, do you believe sample one of your songs
the best? I don't think they did. They did justice.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
Okay, I don't think they really did justice to any
of the samples that they they have done to my songs.
Like Britney Spears butchered, she butchered prerogative. Teddy Riley produced it,
but that was a butchering that you know, you couldn't
(18:26):
take it, And.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
He said it was a very hard life lesson, explaining
now he has to listen to every single sample before
clearing it or allowing anyone else to use his music
because he was so disgusted with how Britney did it.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
For some reason, I just kind of helpe. Britney fires back,
like I don't know, Bobby Brown, Britney Spears feard sounds
kind of entertaining.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Finally, I know, pick your jaws up off the floor.
But Fire Festival too has been postponed. So it was
supposed to happen in late May, possibly into early June,
but new dates have not been selected yet and organizers
including Billy McFarland, who remember just gan out of prison
for fraud, said organizers are laying the blame on Mexico. Currently,
(19:16):
the Fire Festival to website only says tickets are currently
not available when customers try to purchase them. Billy is
admitting it's not happening. He's confirming this, saying, we want
to give you an important update. Fire Festival two will
no longer take place in Aya del Carmen. Over the
past eighteen months, we've worked closely with experienced third party
(19:36):
festival operators to ensure it was built to the highest standard.
But in September we were offered to bring the festival
to Mexico. We agreed. He's saying that they have taken
the money and they have nothing left to make Fire
Festival two works, so they're placing all the blame on
Mexico authorities. Initially seemed on board in my weeks ago,
(20:00):
and then immediately we're like, listen, they're not talking to
us about anything. They're not telling us about their plans.
We have no idea if they've got permits, that they've
got security, and this is not happening.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
This guy already went to jail for the first failed festival.
I hope, like missus, he should stay in Mexico just
so he doesn't get arrested here in the United States
for another round of fraud.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
All right, all of your celeb scoop at West Michigan
Star dot com.
Speaker 1 (20:22):

When one hundred women were asked to name things parents
always tell their kids they're not allowed to play with?
What did you put as your What do you think
is your top answer?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I'm of a lot of things that the top one
from you is probably you cannot play.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
With their food.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Not play with your food pushing it back and forth
with your fork over and over again. You know you
can move it all you want. It's not going to
make a disappear. I can hear parents telling that to
their kids. Somehow. Food not even on this list. Seriously, Eusly,
I know it's wrong. They're wrongly and you're right, they're wrong.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
I agree?
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I agree out there?

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Eric?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I just got a good guest from Leanne. When one
hundred women were asked to name something that kids are
always told by their parents they're not allowed to play with.
What do you think their top answer is? I just
heard food, stop playing with your food, But that was
not on the list. So what do you think it is? Ooh?
The stove. Yeah, I gonna be hot, but stove is
(22:26):
the number three most common answer. I'm sorry, thank you,
thank you, Hi star. Who's this Shonda? Shonda, you got
a really good chance here. I've heard two good guesses,
but not the top answer. One hundred guys were asked
what are something that parents are always telling their kids
they're just not allowed to play with? And so far
I heard food and I just also heard the stove. Yeah,
(22:47):
don't burn yourself on the stove, but that is not
the top answer. What do you think it is? Oh?
TV remote? Yeah, don't put playing with the remote? Not
on there though. I'm sorry, Shonda, all right, thank you,
Hi star. Who's this?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Jim Tim?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
So far I heard it's not the stove. It's not
your food, it's not the TV remote. What do you
think that thing parents are always telling their kids they're
not allowed to use?
Speaker 8 (23:12):
Is awful?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Man? I was gonna thinking.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
I was thinking food, but I guess maybe knives.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Knives. Don't run with knives. You're not to play with
your knives. I mean it's always there. It's the one
utensil out of your fork. You're spooning your knife that
you have to wait until you're older to even use
knives as the top answer. Congratulations, Tim, Oh wow, wait, yeah,
it's knives, followed by the matches, then the stove and fire,
(23:40):
rounding out the top four answers. Congratulations, You are very welcome.
We'll do it again tomorrow. Not the chance to win
those tickets for Gabrielague Glacias as well as Jeff Dunham.
You get both comedians. Tim, that's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Oh dude, that is sweet.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah, it's gonna be a great show a county fair
and we will get you tickets tomorrow. Just after eight
fifteen here on Starmino five point seven, Starina five points. Yeah,
have a good morning to you. It's Mack and Schmidty
and I want to talk about something I have felt
fairly strongly about for a long time, but now my
son has taken it to another level and I kind
(24:20):
of feel like this generational hate. But do you feel
like drinks, specifically like pops your favorite drink, Schmitty tastes
different depending on what packaging they come in. Absolutely right,
one hundred percent, So whether it comes in a can,
a glass bottle, a plastic bottle, whether it comes out
of the fountain machine at your favorite restaurant, those all
taste different.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Correct, The fountain machine is top notch, and I won't
really drink anything else.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Really, I love fountain pop. Oh my gosh, I love
fountain pop. But will you kind of exclude it from
your life a little bit. I bring this up because
I agree with you one hundred percent. I think it
all tastes different, and I think the example in my
life has always been coke because it is the drink
my dad always used, and it was really his mixing
drink a little bit, but it was always had to
(25:05):
be coke from a can. Couldn't be coke from a
plastic bottle. Glass bottle is next level.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
One hundred percent. Plastic bottles zero. I actually I have
a full ranking system. I feel like for this. But
my son the other day was like, hey, uh, there,
we had some leftover drinks from a party that we
had and they were in little, tiny plastic bottles and
my daughter goes, oh, can we have a pop? And
I said, well, you know, I guess it's fine today,
(25:32):
and my son's like, ah, it's in a plastic bottle. No,
thank you. I get it doesn't want it. That kid
will take a coke from anywhere. I have never heard
my son turn down a pop ever in my life.
But he's not wrong. There's a ranking system, right, you
said fountain parts.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
What does he drink out of?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
He will, He'll do a can, But you're not wrong.
Glass bottles are where it's at. It's if you can
get a Mexican coke, a Mexican coke and a glass bottle.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Cane sugar.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Oh, it's so so good, followed closely by a regular
glass bottle, and then I think it goes can and
then plastic, Like there is just something about a plastic
bottle that I feel like ruined drinks.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
This is like the water conversation, the people who are like, oh,
I'm so sorry, justsani.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I never feel like it's it's placebo or is it?
Oh no, it's not just something we'll doing to ourselves
in our house.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
I swear to you guys, and you'll believe this because
you know how much of a nerd I am and
find weird stuff on the internet. I think there's a
scientific study about it. I think something legitimately spent money
and said here's the best way to have certain drinks.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Well, and you know we all have talked about the
McDonald's coke right, McDonald's fountain coke case different than everybody else's.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
I'm a I'm a DP. Really, you either give me
doctor Pepper or I have no desire. I don't care
what restaurant I'm at anything. I'll do a doctor Pipper,
doctor pepper. If if I have to go old school,
I'll do a PIB extra. I'll do a PIB extra
and take one for the team.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Was ready for you to say rc cola for there.
We've got a poll actually up on Facebook right now.
You can go hit us up at West Michigan stock.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Some down because I get a all right, let's dive
into some positivity right now, I feely good on start
went on fine points seven?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Well, I've got a shout out my alma mater or
something really cool went down at Grand Valley State University
with their football team hosting Victory Day. Special Olympic athletes
have the opportunity to literally take the field at Lubber
Stadium with GV football players. The avenas athletes the opportunity
to do everything from run drills, score touchdowns, and experience
(27:51):
what it's like to be a Laker football player for
a day. Each Special Olympic athlete is paired with a
GV football player and they do it all, even scoring
those game winning touchdowns. It's pretty fantastic. Just ask Special
Olympic Athlete Jackson Austin along with coach Scott Wooster from
(28:12):
Grand Valley, they understand that this goes way beyond the game.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
It was really cool like it. It was like a
lot to see in there, a lot of cool stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I'm really glad that we got to do this and
hopefully start a new tradition to see this today.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
This is what it's about.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Win a ton of games, do well academically, prepare yourself
for the next fifty years, and take our platform and.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
Share it with somebody else and just see their gratitude,
the joy this is.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
It is so awesome telling Fave seventeen they are hopefully
starting a brand new tradition.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I just love all the party atmosphere in the background.
You can hear all those players and all the kids teer.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
The TV football team. Don't mess around.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Love that all. Right over east of the Grand Rapids area,
in the small village of mure I got an empty
dirt patch that's about to get a big upgrade because
they are actually designing a sensory park over there for
everybody in the community, no matter their agor ability. Plans
include a barrier free playground, they've got a music performance
area come in, and of course you got to have
(29:14):
some quality park benches. But these are not just gonna
be any benches. They're gonna be a labor of love
that has taken about a year to actually get done
for the people there in your because they literally collected
fifteen hundred pounds of bottle caps in order to make
the benches out of village President Doug Highland tell in
(29:36):
thirteen On Your Side just how much of a community
project this whole thing has been.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
We first had to advertise it. We started out with
the local school, twin Nervers Elementary. We put out bins
in local supermarkets and restaurants, some at the village office,
and the call community really was behind it. They were
bringing caps from everywhere.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
They really were, and so much, in fact, that it
took an entire trailer to get all of these bottle
caps down to where they make these benches in Evansville,
Indiana at Green Tree Plastics, and it was Dan Heckman,
who works at the Department of Public Works, who was
just talking about how many bottle caps this really is.
(30:15):
That's a lot.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
It filled the garage pretty well.
Speaker 9 (30:17):
The whole wall of the garage was filled with.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Fifty five gallon drum liners full of caps. It filled
a full dump trailer.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I did the math. Thanks to Ai Schmide, is about
three million plastic bottle caps that had to be collected
over the course of a year to give them these
eight state of the art benches that are not only sustainable,
but they're basically expected to last forever. So this park
will always be sitting on things that they helped create.
Pretty awesome feeling good comes at you a couple times
(30:45):
a day. We'll do it again for tomorrow. I'm six
forty five and nine to twenty each weekday on Star
Speaker 3 (30:49):
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 (00:09):
I of it.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one O
five point seven.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Well, good morning, Smitty, Good morning. Welcoming to your Thursday,
or as you're referred to it. Last week, we always
called it weekend Eve, and you went with.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Weekend Friday Junior. Yes, weekend. Let's stick with what you know.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Friday Junior. It is too weird. I liked it all right.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Yeah it is Thursday, guys, and year up because it's
gonna be I think, a pretty warm, lovely Thursday. I
got some hammock time in yesterday. I couldn't believe it.
We're getting treated. We're starting in the mid thirties, get
a finish in the mid sixties. Today though still breezy,
and if if if I got to bring it down
a notch, it's only that. As we look ahead to
this Easter weekend, I feel like there's gonna be some
(00:52):
indoor Easter egg hunts going on smitting oh really, or
some runny pasor Michiganders.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You'll be out there.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I've been in snowsuits look for Easter eggs in eight
inches of the wet stuff, y'all.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
We can do this, that's the way the Easter Bunny intended.
I'm pretty Georg Schmiddy.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I like that, movies, music, and all the gossip in
one place.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It's the celebrities group on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Well, Tesla founder Elon Musk is less than impressed with
a Wall Street Journal article detailing his many relationships, and
there's rumor he may be looking at legal action. So
the Wall Street Journal came out with a report detailing
Musk's many relationships with various baby mamas and his alleged
attempts at keeping things very quiet. Musk has at least
(01:41):
fourteen children with four separate women, including Grimes, Ashley Saint Clair,
and Chavon Zillis, who is actually a Neuralink executive and
technically his employee. But according to this report, Musk often
claims there's a fertility crisis in America, saying civilization is
at risk if we don't start making more babies, and
(02:02):
very quickly. They also cite a text message from Elon
to Saint Clair about bringing in other surrogate mothers to
birth more babies before we reached the legion level of apocalypse.
The Wall Street Journal went on to say Saint Clair
received two million dollars for expenses while she was secretly
(02:23):
and privately pregnant, and then honored Musk's request to keep
his name off their child's birth certificate. When the baby
was born last year, however, reportedly refused to sign an
NDA and later demanded a paternity test. She is now
suing Elon for sole custody of their child, named Romulus.
Wall Street says they've also reached out to other women
who say they were propositioned by him on X to
(02:45):
become a part of this surrogate motherhood to save the
world now. While Elon has not publicly commented about this
Wall Street Journal report, he did take two X, which
he owns, simply writing tnzer greater than greater than WSJ
I means a lot in this report.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
It is. But you can't have a profile as high
it as his and have all this stuff going on
in your personal life and think people aren't going to
be curious about it. I think that people aren going
to try and dig into it.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, Actor Haley, Joel Osmond, you'll know him best.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
People.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I'm walking out like regular people, fortunately facing legal trouble
yet again. The veteran actor arrested a couple of days
ago after cops got a call just before two o'clock
in the afternoon about an allegedly intoxicated individual at Mammoth
Mountain Resort. This report just coming out. SKI Patrol was
(03:42):
there with Osmon when cops arrived. He was booked for
public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance. Even cops
unseen weren't exactly sure what it was. It had to
be sent to a lab to determine what that is.
Hailey was booked and released shortly after the arrest, and
now it is up to the County DA to decide
whether they are going to prosecute the case. Sources familiar
(04:06):
with the situation say, unfortunately, Haley's been going through quite
a bit lately. He is one of those in Hollywood
that lost everything in the Altadino wildfire. He's had issues
with insurance, he is having problems with money because of this,
and he has obviously had some history with alcohol abuse.
So really hope that this isn't anything super serious.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, he's had some trouble with the law, I feel
like in the past a few times too. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Finally, the Emmy in the Michelle tract in bird case
officially releasing her cause of death, and unfortunately, like we
thought complications of die of beat is we don't know
whether Michelle had Type one or type two. They are
simply classifying the death as natural, meaning that investigation is
now closed. At this point, all of your celeb scoop
(04:53):
at West Michigan start off come.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Sometime.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Does that get a good.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Feeling to be a sunny day, especially early on when
TAM's getting into the mid sixties. Lots to feel good about.
Here's a couple more things for you too. This was
neat to see. Of course. Love the USA Today top
ten polls and Michigan seems to do really well in there.
And that is true again when it comes to determining
the top main street in all of America. Because it's
(05:21):
just a ride down ninety six Howell Michigan Schmidty was
named as the number four best downtown main street in
all of America. Pretty wild. The results have shared yesterday,
after nominations from an expert panel and then votes by
readers across the country. Pretty cool. USA Today sharing that
Howl's Grand River Avenue, home to tons of historic buildings,
(05:44):
They've got a variety of different unique shops, local eateries,
the Howell Opera House, and the city's popular Two Folks Pub,
both being mentioned in there. Pretty cool. Have you ever
been to downtown Holland?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah, I have a friend that lived there.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, I've never met there before. I guess I feel
like I got to make the road train down there.
I mean just in between here in Detroit, and we've
got one of the top downtowns in all of America
right there by the way, if you're interested, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
taking the top spot.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
This is such an incredible story. A two year old
little boy who spent the night completely alone in the
remote Arizona wilderness was led to safety by none other
than a ranchers dog. A huge search operation was launched
when the boy disappeared from his home in Arizona around
five pm on Monday, who was wearing only a blue
(06:31):
tank top and pajama pants. It turns out he walked
seven miles through mountain lion infested territory before a ranchers
dog found him. The Sheriff's office had more than forty
rescuers joined in the operation a Department of Public Safety helicopter,
(06:51):
but it was Buford. Beuford is the ranchers dog. Steve
Dutton is his name, and he said, unbelievable. He was
going around to check his property. He's a bat farmer,
and suddenly this little blonde haired boy was walking up
the path being led by Beuford. He looked and immediately
recognized the boy's face as a missing poster he had seen. Unreal.
(07:12):
Beauford found him more than a couple miles away from
the farm, sleeping under a tree, and walked him all
the way back home to safety. Steve is blown away.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
There was a thousand ways for that to go really
really bad, and one good way, and luckily it turned
out to be the good way.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
She's cooking him a steak for dinner tonight.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Ah, Buford, you're getting a steak tonight, Dunton says. Viewed
were Buford loves kids. He imagines that once he spotted
this little guy, there was no way he was going
to leave him unless he was safe.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I mean, that's on about seven miles.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
For seven miles in Mountain Lion territory, there were two
mountain lions spotted.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
That is just insane. Feel like good coming at you.
A couple Times today. I always wanted to share great
things going on. We'll do it again coming up this
morning at nine.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
So I want to do movies, music, and all the
gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It's a celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Well, Blake Lively is getting quite a few accolades, having
been named a Titan on Time Magazine's annual one hundred
most Influential People list. This is pretty crazy. The list
was dropped yesterday. It includes other Titans like Serena Williams,
SNL creator Lauren Michaels, Simone Biles, and Mark Zuckerberg. Now,
(08:26):
the Titans category different from just your run of the
mill influential people. The Titans category are for leaders in
their field who have made a transformative impact on the world.
We're talking names like Bill Gates, Michelle Obama, and George W.
Bush that have been given this title in the past.
Sherry Lynn Eiffel is a notable civil rights attorney and
(08:48):
actually wrote the piece about Blake Lively four Time Magazine,
saying while she has never seen the TV show gossip
Girl or paid much attention to Blake on the red carpet,
Shery Lynn he knows her instead as a quote philanthropist
and student of our country's most intractable problems. She talks
(09:08):
about the money that Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds
have donated to, including the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and
how much research has gone into it for both of
them to support people that really needed.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I have no issue with Blake Lively. She doesn't belong in.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
That category, a titan category. A lot of people this
morning are kind of like, Oh, that's a different narrative
than we've been hearing speaking of that time one hundred
Serena Williams, like I said on the list and clearing
the air about her Super Bowl halftime cameo. So the
tennis legend opened up to time about hitting the stage
(09:46):
with none other than Kendrick Lamar for his Super Bowl
halftime performance when he did this hit not Like Us.
If you're not aware, this is a disc track directed
at Canadian rapper Drake because of their long running, highly
publicized feud, and at the time Williams appeared on stage
performing a crip walk during the song, people immediately went wild,
(10:08):
saying she was dancing on Drake's grave. She was shooting
shade because the two had had some history romantically. Serena
is saying that is not it at all. She tells Tim,
absolutely not, I would never do that. That was sad
that anyone would ever think that. I respect how they could, obviously,
I can see how someone would think that, but absolutely not.
I've never had negative feelings towards Drake. We have both
(10:31):
known him for so many years. She said, her and
Kendrick had simply been trying to work together for ages
and this was a perfect opportunity.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yeah, both Compton natives right there too, at a long
history show. I mean, think what you ought about the
Drake insult, but I still think it's fine. They were
performed again.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Finally. Benson Boone is still riding that Coachella high, but
making it very clear he is not trying to be
a new Freddie Mercury. If you missed it, he had
an unbelievable performance last weekend doing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, when
all of a sudden, Brian May comes up on stage
starts shredding on the guitar, and everybody had the same
(11:10):
thing to say. Benson Boone absolutely nailed Freddie Mercury. But
it's a great compliment. Freddy is in a league of
his own.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Honestly, I take that as a huge compliment.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
I'm not trying to be anybody else but myself, but
like to hear that is it is incredible.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah, you've got to see the outfit as well. I've
got the video if you missed that Coachella performance at
West Michigan startup.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Easter weekend is on deck, SHMITTI and you just said
something that has definitely been on my mind for last year.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
You're gonna hit, It's gonna hit. When did Easter become
the new Christmas? And I feel like I have seen
this really ramp up in the last couple of years,
where even friends of mine use Easter as this opportunity
to just give some of the most lavish, expensive, unbelievable gifts.
And I'm here sitting like I thought, we just did
(12:03):
that three months ago. So I came across a really
great TikTok yesterday. Her name is Violet Rose, and she's
a mom, and just said exactly what I think a
lot of parents are feeling about the pressure of Easter
this weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
This is just your friendly reminder that Easter is not Christmas.
I don't know when it became so normalized to make
every single holiday another Christmas.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
If all you get your kids is a piece of candy,
nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
That's totally fine.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
If you don't get your kids anything at all for Easter,
that's also totally fine. Easter and holidays in general are
not about gift giving. You're about spending time with your
family and taking a moment to pause and reflect on
what you have and be thankful for what you have.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
So I grew up getting Easter baskets. I got them
well into adulthood, which was really nice, and they were
always cute things like you'd get, you know, a couple
of the chocolate eggs, you'd get some jelly beans. I
think maybe we'd get like a kite or or something
to play with in the springtime. I know someone getting
(13:03):
their child a hoverboard for Easter, like a three hundred
dollars hoverboard. And I'm over here thinking what am I
supposed to say when my son comes home from school
on Tuesday next week and is like, yeah, so and
so got in his easy If it doesn't fit in
a basket, it doesn't belong in a basket. And I
(13:24):
don't know if I'm missing something here. I mean, we'd
go to church, we'd do our Easter ed hunt, we'd
spend time with my grandparents. That was always Easter. It
was never something this lavish. I knew someone last year
that they surprised their kids with tickets to Disney World.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, for Easter. I mean, you're not wrong. Things aren't
getting nuts. We actually had the experience a couple of
years ago where we were doing Easter with my big
brother and he and his wife. They are amazing, amazing parents,
but they make a lot more money than my wife
and I do, and so their level of gift giving
was on our level of gift giving when it came
(14:02):
to Easter, and literally we felt bad about it. And
I talked to my brother. I was like, dude, what
are you doing. You've got Easter egg things attached to
like one hundred dollars gifts?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It was it was absurd, and he goes, you know what,
We've actually talked about this too. They wound up scaling
their Easter back because.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Oh, just twenties.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well no, I'm just saying that, like they weren't hundred
dollars bills or anything like that. But it was like
a new Pictures It was like a new Picture's mit
for his son that was like one hundred and twenty
dollars MIT like stuff like that that we're we were
just like, we're not doing anything like that. We wouldn't
we probably wouldn't spend one hundred dollars total on the
stuff that's going to go into one of our kids'
easter baskets. So I just want to.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Spend time with people like that. I don't want to
spend my holiday with people like that. I mean, it's
what this mom is saying. She's like, the point of
this is for you to be very grateful. It's it's renewal.
It's beginning right, the resurrection being with them not handing
over plane tickets for something this summer in an easter basket.
(15:06):
And I don't I just say, don't get the competition
among some parents for this kind of thing. It's becoming
very real to me the more my kids kind of
move through school where I'm like, oh, I guess I
am just really gonna find my tribe of people, and
it's not going to be the people putting, you know,
(15:26):
fifty dollars bills into Easter egg hunts. I just I
think that's wild, and I'm sure a lot of you
are maybe feeling that pressure right now. So maybe you've
seen this, I don't know. Six one, six, four, five, eight,
one oh five seven. How are you spending your Easter?
This upcoming weekend?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Movies?
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
It's the celebrities group on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
You know, we talk about a lot on the Kardashians
and how public they are about every aspect of their lives.
But for Chloe Kardashian, she kept at least a little
bit of what went down during her marriage to lamar
Odom a complete secret because this story is wild. Chloe
just found herself on the callar Daddy podcast the episode
(16:13):
released yesterday, where she specifically details a moment that she
tracked now ex husband, former NBA star lamar Odom to
a woman he was cheating on Chloe with.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
We were married. He was doing his thing and he
went down to some motel in downtown LA and was
with a girl. I was there and I remember asking
the guy at the front. I was like, hey, is
lamar Odem, where's lamar Ode? Like Pete told me we
were a room he was in. I saw in the
window that him and this girl were that I knocked
(16:48):
on the door. They answered it for some reason, and
I just started going ballistic. And I remember the next
day it was I think Penelope's birthday party, and it
was a cowboy party, and my knuckles were all bloody
and gross, and I just had bandanas wrapped around. I
was on theme, and I acted as if nothing ever happened.
And I don't think I ever said a thing.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
What bloodied knuckles from this? And she said in the podcast,
Lamar will know exactly what story I'm talking about, but
I have never publicly discussed this.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I'm curious to know whether the bloody knuckles were against
Lamar or against Lamar's mistress. I don't think you can.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Even call her a mistress. He had a lot of
people on the side. Chloe says that she was twenty
six at the time, very young, she said, still old
enough to probably know better than how I acted, But
is any much better place in her life right now?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Ooh.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Bobby Brown not a fan of Britney Spears, especially Spears's
cover of his nineteen eighty eight hit My prerogative. So
Brown actually appeared on the Club Shayshe podcast yesterday with
Shannon Sharp when Shannon asked.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Him, woo, do you believe sample one of your songs
the best? I don't think they did. They did justice.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
Okay, I don't think they really did justice to any
of the samples that they they have done to my songs.
Like Britney Spears butchered, she butchered prerogative. Teddy Riley produced it,
but that was a butchering that you know, you couldn't
(18:26):
take it, And.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
He said it was a very hard life lesson, explaining
now he has to listen to every single sample before
clearing it or allowing anyone else to use his music
because he was so disgusted with how Britney did it.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
For some reason, I just kind of helpe. Britney fires back,
like I don't know, Bobby Brown, Britney Spears feard sounds
kind of entertaining.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Finally, I know, pick your jaws up off the floor.
But Fire Festival too has been postponed. So it was
supposed to happen in late May, possibly into early June,
but new dates have not been selected yet and organizers
including Billy McFarland, who remember just gan out of prison
for fraud, said organizers are laying the blame on Mexico. Currently,
(19:16):
the Fire Festival to website only says tickets are currently
not available when customers try to purchase them. Billy is
admitting it's not happening. He's confirming this, saying, we want
to give you an important update. Fire Festival two will
no longer take place in Aya del Carmen. Over the
past eighteen months, we've worked closely with experienced third party
(19:36):
festival operators to ensure it was built to the highest standard.
But in September we were offered to bring the festival
to Mexico. We agreed. He's saying that they have taken
the money and they have nothing left to make Fire
Festival two works, so they're placing all the blame on
Mexico authorities. Initially seemed on board in my weeks ago,
(20:00):
and then immediately we're like, listen, they're not talking to
us about anything. They're not telling us about their plans.
We have no idea if they've got permits, that they've
got security, and this is not happening.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
This guy already went to jail for the first failed festival.
I hope, like missus, he should stay in Mexico just
so he doesn't get arrested here in the United States
for another round of fraud.

each and every one of these things.

All right, let's see here, Lee, and you gotta tell me.
When one hundred women were asked to name things parents
always tell their kids they're not allowed to play with?
What did you put as your What do you think
is your top answer?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I'm of a lot of things that the top one
from you is probably you cannot play.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
With their food.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Not play with your food pushing it back and forth
with your fork over and over again. You know you
can move it all you want. It's not going to
make a disappear. I can hear parents telling that to
their kids. Somehow. Food not even on this list. Seriously, Eusly,
I know it's wrong. They're wrongly and you're right, they're wrong.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
I agree?
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I agree out there?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Thanks?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Hi, thank you?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Right?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Hi Star?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Who's this Eric?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Eric?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I just got a good guest from Leanne. When one
hundred women were asked to name something that kids are
always told by their parents they're not allowed to play with.
What do you think their top answer is? I just
heard food, stop playing with your food, But that was
not on the list. So what do you think it is? Ooh?
The stove. Yeah, I gonna be hot, but stove is
(22:26):
the number three most common answer. I'm sorry, thank you,
thank you, Hi star. Who's this Shonda? Shonda, you got
a really good chance here. I've heard two good guesses,
but not the top answer. One hundred guys were asked
what are something that parents are always telling their kids
they're just not allowed to play with? And so far
I heard food and I just also heard the stove. Yeah,
(22:47):
don't burn yourself on the stove, but that is not
the top answer. What do you think it is? Oh?
TV remote? Yeah, don't put playing with the remote? Not
on there though. I'm sorry, Shonda, all right, thank you,
Hi star. Who's this?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Jim Tim?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
So far I heard it's not the stove. It's not
your food, it's not the TV remote. What do you
think that thing parents are always telling their kids they're
not allowed to use?
Speaker 8 (23:12):
Is awful?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Man? I was gonna thinking.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
I was thinking food, but I guess maybe knives.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Knives. Don't run with knives. You're not to play with
your knives. I mean it's always there. It's the one
utensil out of your fork. You're spooning your knife that
you have to wait until you're older to even use
knives as the top answer. Congratulations, Tim, Oh wow, wait, yeah,
it's knives, followed by the matches, then the stove and fire,
(23:40):
rounding out the top four answers. Congratulations, You are very welcome.
We'll do it again tomorrow. Not the chance to win
those tickets for Gabrielague Glacias as well as Jeff Dunham.
You get both comedians. Tim, that's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Oh dude, that is sweet.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah, it's gonna be a great show a county fair
and we will get you tickets tomorrow. Just after eight
fifteen here on Starmino five point seven, Starina five points. Yeah,
have a good morning to you. It's Mack and Schmidty
and I want to talk about something I have felt
fairly strongly about for a long time, but now my
son has taken it to another level and I kind
(24:20):
of feel like this generational hate. But do you feel
like drinks, specifically like pops your favorite drink, Schmitty tastes
different depending on what packaging they come in. Absolutely right,
one hundred percent, So whether it comes in a can,
a glass bottle, a plastic bottle, whether it comes out
of the fountain machine at your favorite restaurant, those all
taste different.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Correct, The fountain machine is top notch, and I won't
really drink anything else.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Really, I love fountain pop. Oh my gosh, I love
fountain pop. But will you kind of exclude it from
your life a little bit. I bring this up because
I agree with you one hundred percent. I think it
all tastes different, and I think the example in my
life has always been coke because it is the drink
my dad always used, and it was really his mixing
drink a little bit, but it was always had to
(25:05):
be coke from a can. Couldn't be coke from a
plastic bottle. Glass bottle is next level.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
One hundred percent. Plastic bottles zero. I actually I have
a full ranking system. I feel like for this. But
my son the other day was like, hey, uh, there,
we had some leftover drinks from a party that we
had and they were in little, tiny plastic bottles and
my daughter goes, oh, can we have a pop? And
I said, well, you know, I guess it's fine today,
(25:32):
and my son's like, ah, it's in a plastic bottle. No,
thank you. I get it doesn't want it. That kid
will take a coke from anywhere. I have never heard
my son turn down a pop ever in my life.
But he's not wrong. There's a ranking system, right, you
said fountain parts.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
What does he drink out of?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
He will, He'll do a can, But you're not wrong.
Glass bottles are where it's at. It's if you can
get a Mexican coke, a Mexican coke and a glass bottle.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Cane sugar.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Oh, it's so so good, followed closely by a regular
glass bottle, and then I think it goes can and
then plastic, Like there is just something about a plastic
bottle that I feel like ruined drinks.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
This is like the water conversation, the people who are like, oh,
I'm so sorry, justsani.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I never feel like it's it's placebo or is it?
Oh no, it's not just something we'll doing to ourselves
in our house.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
I swear to you guys, and you'll believe this because
you know how much of a nerd I am and
find weird stuff on the internet. I think there's a
scientific study about it. I think something legitimately spent money
and said here's the best way to have certain drinks.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Well, and you know we all have talked about the
McDonald's coke right, McDonald's fountain coke case different than everybody else's.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
I'm a I'm a DP. Really, you either give me
doctor Pepper or I have no desire. I don't care
what restaurant I'm at anything. I'll do a doctor Pipper,
doctor pepper. If if I have to go old school,
I'll do a PIB extra. I'll do a PIB extra
and take one for the team.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Was ready for you to say rc cola for there.
We've got a poll actually up on Facebook right now.
You can go hit us up at West Michigan stock.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Some down because I get a all right, let's dive
into some positivity right now, I feely good on start
went on fine points seven?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Well, I've got a shout out my alma mater or
something really cool went down at Grand Valley State University
with their football team hosting Victory Day. Special Olympic athletes
have the opportunity to literally take the field at Lubber
Stadium with GV football players. The avenas athletes the opportunity
to do everything from run drills, score touchdowns, and experience
(27:51):
what it's like to be a Laker football player for
a day. Each Special Olympic athlete is paired with a
GV football player and they do it all, even scoring
those game winning touchdowns. It's pretty fantastic. Just ask Special
Olympic Athlete Jackson Austin along with coach Scott Wooster from
(28:12):
Grand Valley, they understand that this goes way beyond the game.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
It was really cool like it. It was like a
lot to see in there, a lot of cool stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I'm really glad that we got to do this and
hopefully start a new tradition to see this today.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
This is what it's about.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Win a ton of games, do well academically, prepare yourself
for the next fifty years, and take our platform and.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
Share it with somebody else and just see their gratitude,
the joy this is.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
It is so awesome telling Fave seventeen they are hopefully
starting a brand new tradition.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I just love all the party atmosphere in the background.
You can hear all those players and all the kids teer.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
The TV football team. Don't mess around.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Love that all. Right over east of the Grand Rapids area,
in the small village of mure I got an empty
dirt patch that's about to get a big upgrade because
they are actually designing a sensory park over there for
everybody in the community, no matter their agor ability. Plans
include a barrier free playground, they've got a music performance
area come in, and of course you got to have
(29:14):
some quality park benches. But these are not just gonna
be any benches. They're gonna be a labor of love
that has taken about a year to actually get done
for the people there in your because they literally collected
fifteen hundred pounds of bottle caps in order to make
the benches out of village President Doug Highland tell in
(29:36):
thirteen On Your Side just how much of a community
project this whole thing has been.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
We first had to advertise it. We started out with
the local school, twin Nervers Elementary. We put out bins
in local supermarkets and restaurants, some at the village office,
and the call community really was behind it. They were
bringing caps from everywhere.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
They really were, and so much, in fact, that it
took an entire trailer to get all of these bottle
caps down to where they make these benches in Evansville,
Indiana at Green Tree Plastics, and it was Dan Heckman,
who works at the Department of Public Works, who was
just talking about how many bottle caps this really is.
(30:15):
That's a lot.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
It filled the garage pretty well.
Speaker 9 (30:17):
The whole wall of the garage was filled with.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Fifty five gallon drum liners full of caps. It filled
a full dump trailer.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I did the math. Thanks to Ai Schmide, is about
three million plastic bottle caps that had to be collected
over the course of a year to give them these
eight state of the art benches that are not only sustainable,
but they're basically expected to last forever. So this park
will always be sitting on things that they helped create.
Pretty awesome feeling good comes at you a couple times
(30:45):
a day. We'll do it again for tomorrow. I'm six
forty five and nine to twenty each weekday on Star
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six
am on Star one oh five point seven
