Speaker 1 (00:01):
Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
I of it. Mac and Schmidty in the morning on
Star one on five point seven. Good morning, Schmitty, thy,
good morning. Welcome into your Wednesday. And what a day
we got. Clouds will be present today, but you know
what I do see that the temperature will say seventy
plus degrees and a lot of areas around.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
West missolodh Now we got the chance for rain and
a possible storm. That's not gonna stop me from sitting
the hammock, y'all. We've got umbrellas for a reason.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
That's one hundred percent Yury. My kids actually we told him,
you know, like, oh, it's gonna be seventy tomorrow and
like seventy five plush. So Thursday we're talking about it,
and immediately both kids had put their foot down. It's
like we're wearing shorts tomorrow. Here, guys, it's gonna be
like forty five degrees when you get up in the morning.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
I said shorts for the first time a month ago.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Did he?

Speaker 3 (00:50):
So forget the whole There's a few of us that
are pretty hardcore in manifesting the spring. I like that,
you know, and Dad didn't hesitate to let him out
of the house in shorts. He was like, this is
like pick your battles.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
I could do movies, music and all the gossip in
one place.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Well, it's quite a.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Health scare for Carlos Santana last night. But an update
this morning. He is in a hospital getting treatment after
suffering a medical emergency before a concert in Texas yesterday.
A rep for Santana said that last night's concert at
the Majestic Theater in San Antonio has officially been postponed.

(01:33):
The singer currently under observation in Texas. He is doing well,
and his rep says he looks forward to coming back
to San Antonio soon, as well as continuing his US
tour now. An update from the San Antonio Fire Department.
They confirmed they responded to the Majestic Theater around five
pm local time yesterday for a report of an elderly

(01:56):
patient who had reportedly fainted and transported them to the
hospital with a non life threatening condition. Early rumors were
maybe something like dehydration, but they are holding onto Santana
for further testing.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Hopefully sah right you remember he had that medical emergency,
actually had a show in Detroit.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah, true, Actually no, I think that was like just
last year. Yeah, and then he had another problem just
a few months ago. So here's hoping he's going to
be on the end. Kanye West is now upsetting an
entire neighborhood in LA after firing off super loud music
and Nazi propaganda. So here's the deal. Kanye has plastered

(02:38):
the Larchmont neighborhood with an urgent advertisement seeking African American
males for something he calls his hooligan choir, sounds like
it's going to be part of some of his music videos.
And he has setup shop and a warehouse near an
elementary school. So in the flyers, Kanye requires any prospects
cannot be fat. They must all were black with the

(03:01):
skin complexion of Shandity Combs. It also requires anyone to
be comfortable wearing swastikas. There's also other conditions. Neighbors in
the area are already infuriated by this. They say that
sounds coming from a PA system outside the warehouse where
these auditions are taking place are thundering night and day,

(03:21):
so loud they are causing area home walls to reverberate.
The other problem, These swastikas are being written even on
the walls of the factory which do face an elementary school,
and they're very concerned that these kids at school are
being obviously exposed to Nazi propaganda.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Laped is confirmed.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
They are looking into noise and disturbance complaints, but so
far nothing's been done.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Something tells me those Kim Kardashian legal maneuvers to potentially
get full custody. I feel like this will come up
in court. Yeah, I feel like it's here to come up.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Finally, Justin Bieber announcing he is leaving Drew House behind.
This is his house, starting a new venture because he
believes his fashion brand no longer represents him. So, sources
close to this situation say Justin felt Drew House was
actually no longer his and he wants to distance himself

(04:14):
from ex manager Scooter Braun, who apparently is still very
much involved in the company. These sources also say this
decision did not happen overnight. There was a massive falling
out at Drew House. Remember I had the story yesterday
about his former road manager Ryan Good not having spoken
to him in over a year the result of a
lot of disagreements among the board of directors. So Justin

(04:38):
says that the trouble started back in twenty twenty three
and this has been an ongoing situation. He said it
no longer serves him. He'll find something else to do,
but it is done. And it sounds like he's also
distancing himself from anyone that had anything to do.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
With the company.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
That's weird because I mean it was sort of his project, right,
his baby for a little while there, and I would
have just assumed with Bieber like it would have been
one of those things where even if you wanted to
walk away, you could have done it with hundreds of
millions of dollars in your pocket.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Right, I'm not sure, man, all of your celeb scoop
at West Michigan star dot com.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Let's do it. Let's get these weddings down to a
great start for you. Feeling good on star Win O
five point seven. It's Mack and Schmidty. And what's in
a name Schmitty? Well, in this case, how about a drank, fries,
chicken nuggets, and a burger. That's right, because this name
is for a cat. And here's the name this is
my cat.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Her name is Wendy's four for four dollars.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
That's right, you heard it correctly. That was Zoey Bauer
of Walker introducing you to her cat, Wendy's four for
four dollars.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
That does get me hungry.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
I was going to say, I know you'd be a
fan of that schmitty. So a name that unique is
going to have an interesting origin story, right, Well, this
was Zoe talking to thirteen on your side about her
cat's unique name.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
My partner at the time didn't want a second cat,
but I was like kind of a already determined that
we needed a second cat. When he was having a
bad day, he would like stop at Wendy's and he
always got the four for four And so I was like, well,
if I name a cat Wendy's four for four, then
I'll always have a good day. Thus Wendy's was born.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I mean, sounds logic. It seems like what the Wendy's
four for four dollars. That's the cat's name. It is
this tortoise shell tabby. And after they were united and
got together and she had do Zoe adopted the cat.
That's when she found out that because she has pet
insurance through Nationwide that her cat had automatically been entered

(06:35):
into a nationwide competition for the wackiest pet names. Of course,
Wendy's four for four dollars was definitely unique, and turns
out that it was the number one name.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
When they like announced the official nominees. She made it.
She finally got a.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Job yet, Wendy's four for four dollars wanted for the
cat category, American Cheese for the dogs by the way,
and Ferretts Bueller for the exotic animals. She gets a
professional photos shoot along with the gift card to Purr
and Mutt, which is kind of funny. She went a
nationwide competition for her cash.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Sur sure, sure, I think you're burying the lead.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
I'm not gonna be surprised if in the next few
days we see Wendy step up with some kind of
surprising promotional gifts.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
It would be interesting because that's four for four. The
four for four dollars doesn't exist anymore, and maybe they
break it back for the cat.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
All right, so you've been to a sporting event and
you've had Heckler's right, But how about heckling with song lyrics?
Trev's Chirps is an Instagram account that has gone viral
because Trevor decides to go around to major league ballparks
and heckle those professional players with song lyrics. He has
visited teams like our Tigers, the Chicago Cubs, the Dodgers.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
They've all heard the wrath.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I bet you never.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Released your in ambition that felt the rain on your skin.
Jack Sack, I bet you never had a pucketball Sunshine Heaben.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
I bet you're shak brings all the boys to the yard, Trevor,
I bet you don't like petera Cowana, the hor getting
caught in the rain.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
It's phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
If you are looking for a moodlifter, you've gotta follow
Trev's Chirps. I spent like an hour last night watching
through these. He goes with a group of friends. Everyone
around him is hysterically laughing, and most of the time
the players hear it and kind of turn around like,
all right, that's pretty good man, that's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
The tone does it all, for sure. His delivery is fantastic.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
It's on our stories if you follow us on Instagram
at West Michigan Star Movies, Music and all the gossip
in one place.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Pope Francis's final hours are being detailed by the Vatican,
including his last words, which were thankful and directed at
his nurse and caregiver. The Vatican says Francis, who died
early Monday morning, was initially hesitant to make a surprise
appearance back on Easter Sunday in Saint Peter Square, where
more than fifty thousand Christians had gathered, but he did

(09:04):
end up going for that ride in the popemobile even
interacted with people only after asking his nurse, Masimiliano Strapetti,
do you think I can manage it with The eighty
eight year old pontiff reassured that is why he toured
the square, even taking time to embrace people, as well
as quite a few children. The Vatican says some of

(09:24):
Francis's last words were an expression of thanks to Strapetti,
his nurse, saying thank you for bringing me back to
the square.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
This is what I needed.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
The late Pope rested for the remainder of Sunday afternoon
before a quiet dinner, showing the first signs of illness.
Early Monday around five thirty. Of course, his funeral is
scheduled for ten am Saturday in Saint Peter Square. Well,
we will see both President Donald Trump and First Lady
Milania Trump, as well as Prince William among those dignitaries
confirmed to attend. Dancing with the Stars is making a big,

(10:00):
big announcement as they are officially looking into season thirty
four with the very first contestant announced.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Personally, I am super excited for this.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Oh say is crying?

Speaker 6 (10:17):
Oh watching you and BINDI just having the most incredible
time lining up the dance floor.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
And I just thought, one day that's gonna be me.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
I had these little dreams.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
Going one day and now that dream is a reality,
and I am over the moon.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
But dream, that's right.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Wildlife conservationist and son of Steve Irwin, Robert Irwin set
to compete, following in his sister Bendy's footsteps. In true
Robert fashion, he came out shirtless with a python wrapped
around him named Priscilla. This is, of course, like I said,
the first contestant we've learned about set Season thirty four

(10:58):
is set for this upcoming fall where you can catch
it on ABC, Disney plus and then stream the next
day and Hulu.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
I wondered why he was being followed around shirtless last week,
being out, he was everywhere.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
It felt like, you know, well, he had this huge
photo shoot.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
He was on the cover I think of Vanity Fair
or one of those big ones. Yeah, and we know
Detroit is ready riding high for the first home playoff
game at Little Caesars Arena in years going down tomorrow night.
Former Piston star Ben Wallace is nothing but stoked for

(11:32):
this new group of guys he was founded at Lax yesterday,
saying forget the bad Boys group he was a part of.
These guys had their very own identity and they've earned it.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
I think what they have earned, they.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Earn their own identity, even though we're got just going
out there playing hard, eating it all on the line,
and you know, you go out.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
And play like that, and you know you earn your
own identity.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Game you go to call you ever point.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
You know, it's just good to see the guys grow
and see them have a coach that's.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Put it in a place named Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
He says he's got no doubt they're gonna pull the
upset and does give a shout out to coach JB. Bickerstaff,
saying his name definitely deserves to be in consideration for
Coach of the Year.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
I mean Ben Wallace, NBA champion, Piston's legend giving you
your vote of confidence.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
That's a big thing, all right, all of your celeb
Scoop at West Michigan's Star dot com.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Take a big whiff with us. It's package smitty.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
It felt so good yesterday and it was the at
least the first one for me because it's not been
this warm yet where that just started to rain smell hits. Yeah,
like we've had rain the past, you know, a couple
of months, but it's always been cold and you need
just like that mid sixties or above wet tree branches

(12:44):
and there's not a lot of leaves yet, so you
just get that like wet woodsy smell.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
I was sitting on my deck yesterday afternoon, like I
got a glass of wine and I just stood there like, oh,
I love the smell of fresh rain or the clouds
rolling in, just as it's about terrain.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
That was a big whiff right there. You did a solid.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Job stressed out. Yeah, that's how I cope.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
I take big old breadths of anything that smells nice
to me to call my mental fortitude. But I posted
this and I was like, everybody must have that smell,
and there's such a different variety of them, right, yeah,
you get your Danielle said it fresh cut grass. A
lot of people love that. We've got tons of flowers.
Christy loves highescents and April with paeonies. I had a

(13:32):
lot of lilas, but I thought this was a really
good one because I only get this when I go
up to the up with Chris. Brian said his favorite
smell in the whole world is fresh cut hay. If
you ever smelled fresh cut hay.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
I very much have it.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Got a farm.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, I spent time on a hay farm as a kid.
That was my daycare growing up. And yeah, that is
its own unique taste.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Ryan, what does that smell for you?

Speaker 2 (13:56):
For me, it's garlic, and it's not about it's not
just like, oh that makes me hungry because I love garlic.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
That's obviously somebody cooked with garlic. And it makes you
feel nostalgia.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
As soon as this, because I you know, that was
one of my favorite meals growing up, and you'd walk
into the house and you just get that unmistakable smell
and it just felt like home. It felt like warmth
at home. And so I don't know. I mean, besides
the fact that I absolutely love eating it, it just
makes me feel good.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
I feel that about cinnamon, Yeah, like a lot of it,
or like the smell of waffles or pancakes, because it
was always what your parents were making on a Saturday
morning when you were still a kid and you got
to sleep in.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
My favorite so far, though, Win Brown on our Facebook,
the best smell in the whole world for him, my
better half.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
It's a unique individual smell, is it not. I mean,
anybody who's married it's been in a relationship for a
long time. Same thing with your kids, though they all
have their own unique smell.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
No, I don't like that, like I don't Oh gosh,
I don't want Chris like. No, like freshly showered Chris
is what I'm talking about.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
I mean, I'm sorry when if that's so what you're saying,
I'm not. I don't want like the actual natural odor.
I like it, but like, can you.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Smell Friss right now in your house? You can't smell
Chris in your head?

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Not really.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
No.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
I could maybe smell my kids, but I guess if
it's Chris, it's gonna be like fishy And that's not
my most favorite smell.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Will be all right?

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Six one six, four five eight one oh five seven. Oh,
let's get nostalgic and happy. What is the greatest smell
in the entire world?

Speaker 4 (15:29):
Or leave us a talk back inside our iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
It's back and Schmitty And you won't necessarily find these
at any glade plug in Schmitty, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Fresh cut grass is a Yankee candle. We're talking about
those amazing smells. The best smell ever because I got
my first whiff of fresh rain yesterday for the spring
Good morning star.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
Who's this?

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Hey Richbury called us from today?

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Man, give me that perfect smell rich bacon in.

Speaker 6 (15:58):
The morning.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
There's like a few different ways to do it, like
typical bacon I'm not a huge fan of, but yes,
over a campfire, a cast iron or something like that.
There's just a different feel and smell to it, isn't there.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Absolutely it pairs well with that bonfire, that's for sure.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Oh yeah, rich Now you got us making bacon over
a fire. This weekend. Thank you so much, my man.

Speaker 2 (16:21):

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Where you are today?

Speaker 5 (16:27):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (16:27):
I am a tough driver, so I am driving around town.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Oh, Dave, what is that great smell for you?

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Okay, Now, I have never smelled anything in my life.
I was smell, so I've never smelled anything. I can
give you guys about five and neither one of you
would be able to regress what I want to smell.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Now I'm really curious what would it be.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh, but I would smell. I wouldn't want to sell.
Why is that because nobody realizing how many foods.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
And you can't and you don't know what it means.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Oh my gosh, that is wild.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
I mean I would love to sell to Brad.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah, to be fair, Dave, if you're a truck driver,
you'll get it. I've always loved the smell of gasoline.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
I love the smell at a gas station.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Oh yeah, one man's poo is another man's potpourria.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
I guess that is eye opening day. Thanks for the call.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Saying you know it. Well, see you.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
I'm going to think about that the rest of the day.
What it would be like to not have a sense
of smell and then to have that be what you
want to smell first.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Jame's been I'm thinking about it his entire life.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
Wow, Wow, thank you, Dave.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Stellid seven. Its packaged schmidty and you are confessing what
of phenomenal parents you are today's I mean.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
As moms, we all know, right, we give up our body,
we give up our brain a lot of the times
to have these wonderful, beautiful little cherubs.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
But I gave up an outfit over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
So the Easter bunny brings the Easter baskets for my
kids and then hides a few eggs. But then we
do a bonus egg hunt where we like it's the
entire expanse of our yard for both my kids, and
so the bonus egg hunt is something that I really
like to do. And my kids were playing in the
basement at the time, so I knew that we had

(18:48):
windows facing out to the backyard, so I had to
be very ninja like about it, so didn't want to
see where they were going. So there I am in
my beautiful Easter dress with my mud boots ready to go,
being very stealth, ducking behind like deck columns behind trees, ducking, weaving,

(19:08):
and hiding so well that I slipped and fell into
a mud puddle and ruined my brand new Eastern in
your easter outfit?

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Is this where you can turn this into like a
midwesterner deal story, though, and tell me that you got
it on Amazon for sixteen dollars in me so you're
not even worried.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
It was twenty two bucks at myer.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
I know what I do. Did you or did you not? Though?
Get the great family photo? First?

Speaker 3 (19:34):

reason if you follow me at Schmidt in the minute

And of course everything with parenting is cyclical. It comes
back around. And all I kept thinking was about my
parents and the things that they bought for me, even
though they had to have absolutely hated because that where

(22:00):
I'm at with my son and something that he was
brought by the Easter Bunny. My son was begging for
those stupid vipe pit viper sunglasses Schmitty.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
So they're all over TikTok.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
If you haven't seen them, you see them on professional
baseball players. You've seen them the last few years, especially
on younger teenage boys. They are the massive sunglasses that
wrap around the reflective and honestly, I think they look
good on zero human beings.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
They look like the senior people in our society put
over their prescription glasses.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
That's what they look like.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
That would be cool like. And he can't get enough
of them, and you know, so they're baseball so that
he just started baseball season, and you know, Saturday's game
it's cloudy, it's forty five mile an hour winds and
rain coming down. And he's like, oh, I can't wait
to wear my new sunglasses. I'm like, buddy, there is
no sunshine out there right now. You do not need

(22:55):
to wear them.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
I still get new v even if it's cloudy.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
He goes, but I can wear them, right. I'm like,
your Lord, please save me. Every time I'm talking to him,
it's like I got macho man Randy Savage on the
other ende. Bitty.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
I gotta tell you, there's a whole part of our
audience that's gonna hate me for this. But it was
so painful the first time I bought crocks for my kids.
Oh yeah, I can't do they wearing with their sacks,
you guys, I can't do the crocks. I'm trying so
hard to understand it. I don't You're not on a boat,
you're not at the beach.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
I don't know why I need to have holes in
your shoes. I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
It's like they made laundry baskets into shoes. That's what
I think.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
You have charms for them. Oh yeah, it doesn't. I
can't just go barefoot.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Okay. So at the same time, though, you have to
be able to look back at yourself and not be
the hypocrite that doesn't remember my parents had to buy
me jincos in high school because I wouldn't have got
them otherwise. Are good, I'm sorry, but any pant leg
that goes over that the boys wear that has a
fourteen inch hole opening at the bottom is stupid as
heckn we all look dumb.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
I'll level you up with the American eagle loafers that
only my ladies we'll remember. And I specifically, I can
hear my mom saying, so I'm paying money for you
to have half a shoe.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
A fine point seven outs, smack and schmiddy, looking to
brighten up your day a little bit. Feeling good right now?
And I saw this I want them to bring this
to Grand Rapids.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
So yesterday was Earth Day, Happy belated Earth Day, and
something really cool started in Detroit. Arborists are turning vacant
land on the city's east side into a small urban
forest full of giant sequoyas. The project on four lots
will not only replace long standing blight with these gorgeous trees,

(24:36):
but it's going to improve air quality, it's gonna help
with storm water runoff. It is such an awesome idea.
So the nonprofit is called Archangel Ancient Tree Archive. They're
the ones donating dozens of Sequoya samplings that are planted
by staff and volunteers. They started actually tilling the soil
and getting everything cleaned up yesterday. Co founder of Archangel

(24:58):
is David Malark, telling ABC seven this is something that
is going to be seen around the world.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
As an example, if.

Speaker 6 (25:04):
I'm going to dig a hole and plant a tree,
and I can plant a tree that's going to live
fifty years, or i can plant a tree that's going
to live a thousand years, my time is better spent
planting a tree that is going to live a thousand years.
Detroit is unique in that we have the space to
be able to do that. Right, There's not another urban
area I know of that has the kind of potential
that we do to reforest, and we just have the
space to do it. We should take advantage of it.

(25:25):
If we don't, we really missed our opportunity. You know,
we should be an example for the rest of the world.
We're retrofitting our city to be like, you know, the
ideal place to live.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Isn't that incredible and just exciting stuff for Detroit City
residents are super excited. This is going to cut air pollution.
This is going to help because it's near a very
industrial area as well as a former incinerator.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
And to interstates.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
I mean, it's literally going to change the nature of Detroit.
And I can't wait to see how this looks.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
I have always dreamt of getting to go see all
the giant sequoias out in Cali.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
I've seen them. They're absolutely outstanding.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
We have some here in Michigan, a few of them
up and actually in a Mannistee township, they've got some
of these sequis. We were just talking about air quality
today here in Grand Rapids. I would love to see
this here.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
If we've got the room.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
I mean that's like a big part of this, right,
you know, that's really incredible stuff that they're doing. There's
a ton more to learn about this too, so I'll
make sure to get that video up all right real quick.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
I'm always enthused by anyone who potentially could be me
winning the lottery someday. But it was a forty five
year old Michigan man from Van Buren County picked up
a million bucks. All buying was steak. He was actually
at a speedway gas station in pau Paul. The cashier
actually gave him a major crutt a cash word game
instead of his normal ticket, and the cashier even said like, hey,

(26:43):
I'll give you the right one if you want, and
goes now, I'll just hold on to this one. Turns
out it was pretty good idea because it was worth
a million dollars scores the million dollar win. But the
reason this has me feeling good this morning to Matty
is because of what he did with the ticket after
he found out he won. He told Michigan Lottery officials
he buried the ticket in a jar, and he put
it in a jar and then buried it in his

(27:05):
front yard so that they wouldn't lose the ticket and
that nothing would happen with it. I'm like, isn't that
like out of cartoons and stuff from when you were
a kid, Like that's the did he have a map?
I have so many questions for why he chose to
do it that way. Million bucks is his retirement, new house,
all that fun stuff when something to gets you feeling good.
He's always here on Star each it every morning, waiting

(27:26):
for He had six forty five and nine twenty Mack
and Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at six am
on Star one oh five point seven
