Speaker 1 (00:03):
Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I of it.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well, good mornings, Minny, Thank good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Welcome into weekend. Eve Friday, Junior. We've called it a
few things, but today and let's just call it an
absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous Thursday coming our way, Schmitty, I mean.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Upper seventies. I could not believe it. You guys, we
are better than this in Michigan. I went on a
walk with my kids last night and I passed at
least five houses with their ac on, with their ac
ac And then I got on Facebook this morning and
I saw like five people posting and they were like, listen,
I'm not I'm not gonna lie to you. I turned
on my air conditioning yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I'm kidding.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
So you guys, but you know your heat's gonna be
on in like a week. Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
That's a bold move. I didn't think we were at
air conditioning levels quite yet, but today I feel like
we'll get closer for sure. Sunshine out there, and while
we're talking about things that are warm and stuff, well,
we're getting something that is only in two other places
in the world right now in sports fans, you are
gonna love this. Cosm SCHMIDI have you heard of Cosm.
(01:11):
Cosum is right now only in Los Angeles in Dallas,
and you might have actually seen them if you haven't
heard of them, because it is the sports interactive sports bar,
essentially in restaurant where you are completely immersed in the game.
Think of a planetarium, if you will, but instead for
all the biggest sporting events. This is so cool. It's
(01:32):
a massive led dome that offers just the newest form
of watching sports. And it is coming to Detroit. Like
I said, only in Los Angeles and Dallas right now,
but now going to be built in both Atlanta and
in Detroit. It's going to be in Cadillac Square right
there where the Draft was last year, and it's gonna
give yours a front row seat to live sports and
entertainment in a way they haven't actually experienced before. This
(01:55):
is pretty cool. As a matter of fact, talking about
just what this technology is is Jeb Terry, CoSM's president
and CEO, and just think about being able to watch
your favorite sports like this.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
We switched the cameras and produce the game so you're
on the sidelines, under the goalpost in the high and
wide positions. We fell in love with Detroit. And then
the site selection right the site where the NFL draft was,
that just perfectly showcased the energy of what's possible there.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It is going to be unbelievable. If you haven't seen
photos of this stuff yet, I'll put it up for
you at West Michigan Star dot com. But I cannot
wait to get over there and check this out because
it looks almost better than going to a game. It
looks unbelievable, all right.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
So it's a very bittersweet feeling good because obviously one
of the toughest points of life is losing a pet,
and the grief can be overwhelming. Someone who knows that
very well you're veterinarian, and Hannah Rippy in Detroit knows
that very well as a vet tech by day. It's
that full time job that got her into end of
life photography for your pets. She started wandering Hale's photography
(03:01):
and realized it's hard when you put a pet to rest,
that's kind of it, and it broke her heart to
see so many people giving a goodbye that she just
didn't think was good enough for that friend that has
been with you for so long. She just discovered a
real calling.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
It's a calling for me for sure, and it just
brings me so much joy.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Same with pet owners.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Rebby says she only charges whatever people feel like paying.
And when you ask some of those customers, like Deborah Montgomery,
who sat down with ABC seven to talk and celebrate
the life of her sixteen year old dog Molly, who
has just a few months left, it is everything. Because
when you lose a pet, you get the ashes, and
that's about it.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
That is so anti climatic you don't even know what
to do with them.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Really.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
However, I now will have a collection of pictures which
we will be lining the walls. But it also we
spent the day together.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
We spent the day together.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
It's a really cool thing for Hannah to be doing,
and it's only growing bigger and bigger with people going,
I really want to remember my.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Pet like this, anybody who's willing to help others get
some closure and get some love with their pets at
the end, like that's a special person. Yeah, big time.
Feeling good coming at you a couple times a day.
Let's do it again this morning at nine's one good
morning to you. It's Mack and Schmitty. And you know,
when you're a kid, a good hiding spot as good
as gold Schmitty.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I mean, I guess, So what is a really odd
place you've discovered your kids hiding things? So yesterday was
a girl's day for Sophie and I. Will had a
half day, so he actually went fishing with Chris. So
we're in the middle of the afternoon. We got pizza,
we put on a movie nice. I can't find the
remote anywhere, and every parent, man, you can feel my frustration.
The hunt for the remote is just the most annoying
(04:48):
part of any day. And I'm looking everywhere, couch cushions,
behind pillows, I'm looking under blankets. Cannot find this anywhere.
Like thirty plus minutes go by, I cannot find this
remote control. And so I realize my son has hidden
it in his magnetile castle.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
The magnetiles are like those multicolored ones that I'll snap together,
the magnetic awesome.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
The magnetic magna tiles. Yes, Will's very big into magnetiles.
He adores building and I'm talking this kid builds like
a two and a half foot structure it's very, very impressive.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
He dabbles architecture.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yeah, And so I'm looking around and I and I
kind of look down, and I wonder, So I take
one of the like top spires off, and sure enough,
way down deep in the middle of this thing is
the remote control. And then I realize there is a
chocolate Recis egg in there.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
There is a tiny, like little stuffy key chain. And
this kid has been building this magnet castle, magnetile castle,
because that is where he's decided to hide all of
his most prized possessions, so his sister, and it turns
out his parents cannot find anything.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I like that. You gotta have a good hiding spot
for my kids. They're lazy and they just shove things
down couch the sides of couch coaches. Yeah, and they
hide him in there like they're never gonna be found.
But my son an be there, are They? Well? Eventually
when there's when they stack up enough or somebody's face
something on.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
A couch cushions and been like, wow, I haven't seen
that a year and a half, Like, I'm not sure
that's getting found.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I'm not saying it's a weekly occurrence, but definitely they
do stack up over time. They they look at the
trundle bed in my son's room, though Schmitty he thinks
that thing is Fort Knox. So the trundle beds, you know,
they pull out from underneath just like a regular bed
on it. So he was he was so certain no
one would ever look there for anything, that he was
(06:40):
hiding all of his Halloween candy there.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And it's the number one spot, you go.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
His sister was snabbing that stuff, stealing like crazy. Does
the movie.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Have you don't remember that scene they hide all their
candy in the bedposts of the camp bump beds?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yes? Yeah, Ben Stiller's finest.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Work six one six four or five eight five seven
drop your kid's wild hiding spots. If it can beat
a magnetile castle, I would love to hear it.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
We've got our talk back inside our iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
App as well, Mack and Schmitty talking about those perfect
hiding spots.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
It took me over a half an hour to discover
my beautiful son hid the TV remote in his magnetile castle.
But I gotta admit a solid spot. Your kids must
have some weird hiding spots. We got Tracy listening in Spartup.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Honestly, she hides everything everywhere.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
It's like sometimes I can't even find something for like
several months.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
That's all fine and well until it's your car keys.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, thank guy put those up to make sure she
then get so.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Haig's Tracy, thank you, good morning star. Who's this?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
This is Kady from Jensen.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
What's that hiding spot?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I have two.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
The one would be when I was on the bottom
bunk at the bunk side I shared, I would hide
candy and small stuff on the like wrung.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Yeah, and that was considered like that.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
My dad was considered my face, so nobody would ever
go on that. The other one is my jewelry box
if I would hide.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
It in there because my brother's never had a reason.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Throw with my jewelry.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
That's actually a really good idea. Plus, I had a
jewelry box that had like a false bottom underneath. I
felt Barry James Bond about it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Thanks Katie, She's a really interesting points, Maddy, was your
hiding spot? Do you feel like more for your younger
brothers or more from hiding things from your parents?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
My younger brother's one hundred percent, But nothing will be
my younger brother who hid school lunches he was supposed
to take for six months under my bed because I
had a dust ruffle. And I will tell you that
was probably one of the biggest groundings he got to
this day.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh, I can't imagine the smell wow and.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yeah, movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one five point.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Seven, Well First Lady.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Former First Lady Michelle Obama finally opening up on her
podcast about criticism she faced for not attending the second
inauguration of President Donald Trump back in January and the
state of her marriage in a conversation with acclaimed actress
Tarashi p Henson, former First Lady Talking I Am O
with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson about making those decisions
(09:26):
for herself, saying it had nothing to do with anything
political or the state of her marriage.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
No is a full sentence.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
People couldn't believe that I was saying no for any
other reason that they had to assume that my marriage was.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Falling, right.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
You know, It's like, while I'm here really trying to
own my life and intentionally practice making the choice that
was right for me, and it took everything in my
power to not do the thing that was right or
that was was that was perceived as right, but do
the thing that was right for me.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
She said it basically had to trick myself out of
constantly pleasing everyone else. She said, this is her post
White House life, she did eight years of having to
do exactly that, but also admits, honestly, there was also
the side of it. I didn't have anything to wear.
I'm always prepared for a funeral. I always walk around
(10:23):
with the right dress. I travel with clothes just in
case something pops off. So I figured, if I'm not
gonna do this, I'm gonna tell my team, like, we're
not doing this, don't have a dress ready.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I'm all good, I you know. I do think it's
ridiculous how people immediately want to point to like, oh,
they're not together. Must we get a divorce? It's this
only thing that could be I wish.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Other former First ladies would speak on this too. It
has to be just a very very wild change of
pace to go, especially if you've served two terms and
you've been living that life for almost a decade and
suddenly you're allowed kind of more of that anonymity again.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I think it's a really interesting thing to talk about.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Martha Stewart recently had a lister, Glenn Powell, on her
Martha Stewart podcast, the actor celebrating the launch of his
new condiment line, Smash Kitchen. But everybody's talking about Martha's
interview with People Magazine after the podcast episode, Ooh, like
a lot of us. She has Thurston for some Glenn
(11:16):
telling people he's very handsome in a very natural way,
and he has a really nice body. He just had
on sort of a European polo shirt and he looked
really good in it. She adds he didn't have a coat,
it was cold outside. His hair looked great, and he's charming.
He was very talkative. He was very excited about his
new sauces, and he was also very nice talking about
(11:39):
growing up.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, Martha Stewart's word make it.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
A thing every day at the same at.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
The same time fascinated me just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Girl is on the Glenn Powell bandwagon.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
By Uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
That episode just dropped inside of our iHeartRadio app. Finally,
Billy McFarland, the iconic I guess if you'll call him
that founder of Fire Festival has once again hit a
bit of a speed bump. This one kind of ends things,
announcing he is selling the Fire Festival brand. The founder
releasing a statement yesterday letting fans know the last two
(12:15):
years have been a commitment to finishing what he started
and making things right following that debacle that was the
first Fire Festival. But he said grabbing the attention and
sometimes negative headlines gave him just too much to try
and overcome. Him and his team are selling trademarks, intellectual property,
media reach and anything associated with Fire to an operator
(12:37):
who can execute the grand vision they have for the festival.
There's actually an auction tab on the Fire website.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Now.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
He does talk about these string of issues, including where
exactly this festival was going to happen in this press release,
saying no worries. There are several Caribbean countries that have
promised they still have interest in hosting the event. He
just wouldn't quite say where those Caribbean countries are.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I'm willing to make an offer, schmiddy. I'm willing to
do this. I am willing to give Billy McFarland the
same thing he gave the original fire festival goers. I'll
give him a cheese sandwich. That's what I won't buy
if your festival four because that's what it's worth.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Com, Star Fine point seven, Mac and Schmidding Ready to battle.
Battle of the Sex is going to get you to
our Grand Rapids Rise game next Wednesday night.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
That is the second of last two matches. This is
almost it at Van and Al. So you have today's
number one answer. You're gonna join me for our Grand
Rapids Rise. One hundred women surveyed what occupation makes the
most money for doing the least work?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Oh, it's why I want to be a hand model?
So bad?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Oh occupation? But I was gonna say trust fun babies too,
so philanthropic, all right? Six one, six, four, five eight
one oh five. Seven hundred women surveyed what occupation makes
the most money for doing the least work?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Good morning star, who's this Shanda, Shanda? Let's see we
can get you tickets for our Grand Rapids Rise. Shonda,
you just gotta tell me what. One Hundred women were
asked what occupation will earn the most money for doing
the least work. What did they say is their top answer? Dentist?
Good dentist. Why why don't you think dentists work hard?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
It's because it's because the high genis does everything and
then the dentist comes in for like thirty seconds is like, yeah,
I just make sure you floss more often.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Right, sir?
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I mean I get where you're coming from. But no,
Dennis is not on there. I'm sorry, thanks, Hi Star,
who's this? Hi? This is Johanna, Johanna's I just got
a good guess from Shanda. When one hundred women were
asked what occupation earns the most money for doing the
least amount of work, she said dentist, which was not
on the list. Because I think Dennis work plenty hard,
(14:58):
plenty of lazier occupations than at Dennis. So what do
you think it is? Okay? I got my son here
and his name is Jude.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
He's gonna go ahead and answer here.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
What do you think? Jude? Accounted an accountants? Hey, Jude,
do you got do you do hard work when you're
doing math at school? That's what accountants are doing every day, buddy.
They're not lazy, they're just having it. They just have
(15:27):
to do math, which sounds terrible. It's like torture. Sorry, guys,
thanks though, you too, Hi Star.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Who's this Tim?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Tim? All right? I just got some good guesses. One
hundred women. Tim were asked what occupation earns the most
money for doing the least amount of work? And I've
heard two jobs that I think work pretty hard. Dennis
and accountant have been guessed so far. Neither of those
are anywhere near this list. So what do you think
it is? Tim?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Oh man, this is a hard one.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
With You're gonna go with CEO. The person who gets
paid the most does the least once you get to
a certain spot in the company, right, exactly. Yeah. I
don't understand the CEO pay models at all. They're outrageous,
but that's why. That's why they're making the big bucks.
I guess CEO is the top answer. What again?
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Oh man?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
It was ceo, followed by politician, then lawyer, then athlete,
then model, rounding out those top answers. Oh yeah, I
thought it was model. I mean, just you know, say cheese,
that's all I really thought that was happening there.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Yeah, true, true.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Congratulations you're gonna go see our grand Rapids rise all right?
Heck yes, next Wednesday night rise, second to last home
game of the season. We'll get you in again tomorrow.
Battle of the Sex is eight to fifteen every weekday
here on Star, come oning into you. Welcome in your
Wednesday morning, and thank you for sharing it with Diys
Mack spendy big day in my house, smidty fifteen years
(16:59):
for my wife Shell and I done. It's insane and
just to think about that for us because we were
even together for six years before that, so it's like
plus twenty now and I have no idea how time works.
It's breaking my brain every single day. That being said,
we celebrated our fifteenth today, but we really kind of
celebrated all the way back in November because my older
(17:20):
brother got married six months before I did, so all
of our anniversaries fall in the same twelve month year basically.
So we went out to Napa, we celebrated out there,
and that was our big fifteenth. On our tenth, we
went to Italy and again it was my brother kind
of leading the way. But now I feel like we've
sort of said a president because a precedent because all
of our other anniversaries are a little kind of lame.
(17:42):
We don't do very much for almost any of our anniversaries.
There have been years where she doesn't even get me
a gift.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, no, we don't do anything.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
We don't do almost anything. But so I was wondering
whether or not we're not unique at all, and that
we just do the zeros in fives bigger and then
all the other ones are just sort of like, yeah,
it's a great day. Maybe we'll go out to dinner. Maybe,
you know, we'll open up a bottle of wine.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Here's a good news for your twentieth.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Your kids are gonna be entering college, so you'll be
broke as a joke and you won't be able to
go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I don't have to wait for college.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That's how that's how I look get at it. I'm like,
get it out of the way now, babe.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Christ So we didn't do we didn't do a huge honeymoon.
After getting married. A year later, we went to Europe
and went all around Europe. So we're kind of basing
it like we are celebrating our tenth this August, and
I was like, could we He was like, well, technically
ten years since Europe would be next to her.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I was like, good, good God, do we sell some
time to save money? That sounds great.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
So we're just gonna kind of do it on like
the ones and elevens, because yeah, two kids takes a lot.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Autioka, you're fine in your own there, and while I
did say, you know, napa, and then we did Italy
for our fifth anniversary, just to prove it's not always
with the fives and the zero schmidty. I was fishing
on the Chesapeake with my father and brother while my
wife was at home with our four week old baby.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, and you're still married.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
That's love schmitting Colt Thames climbing into the high seventies
sunshine out there for us today. If you're not already
feeling good, that's on you. But we're here to help,
all right, feeling good on starting on five point seven?
What's up, sinning?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
So tonight is the night who I know Detroit is
going to get loud as our Detroit Pistons host the
first home playoff game in years, welcoming the New York
next to Little Caesars Arena, and they're going to have
some very special fans in the crowd because quite a
few of our Detroit Tigers who happened to have an
off night tonight are going to be in that crowd.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
It was really cool. During a press conference, Tiger's manager A. J.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Hinch said, I love seeing Detroit sports teams thriving, and
we are just so proud to be a part of it.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
I love where Detroit sports is at, I mean, and
it's a blast being a part of a number of
teams who are are bringing thrilling sports moments to this
city that the city deserves it. These fan bases all
get to enjoy, you know, these thrilling moments, and I
love that our players a all in on it. They're
all making plans to go on. We'll have a strong
(20:03):
contingency there. I'm going to be there because when you're
all in on the city, these moments matter. These moments
are remembered by fans and by players, and these experiences
stand out specifically here in Detroit because of how cool
of a sports town this is.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
We are all in tonight six thirty five pregame coverage
as the Pistons take on the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You can catch it on our sister station ninety six.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Won the game night, Schmidti, I'm talking a little while ago. Today,
my wife and I celebrating our fifteenth anniversary. And you
hope for any anniversary date that you have something, maybe
a story that you'd talk about for the rest of
your lives that'd be way up there for an anniversary expectation. Well,
that's what Whyoda and Justin Schindler got a last weekend
because the two off duty paramedics, we're going out to
(20:48):
celebrate their anniversary. And as they told their local news KSLA,
they actually got some tips on where to go from
their fellow paramedics.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
She asked some of the other paramedics at work where
we suggest to go to eat.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Well, they suggested a steakhouse there in Syracuse, New York,
and that's when they noticed that a woman was having
a very rough time and it looked like a medical emergency.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Ordered our food and we were just finishing up eating
and there was a lot of commotion over in the
corner that we noticed. So initial as you figured out
what the commotion was, she said, I think somebody's choking
over there. She eventually went unresponsive and stopped breathing. It
didn't have a pulse, so we laiter on the ground
and we started to do I started to do CPR.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yes, he's doing CPR. They wound up getting out an
aed device and shocking the woman too, and after several
minutes unresponsive, not breathing, she finally took a breath and
it was just as the paramedics that were on duty
arrived at scene. And that's when these paramedics noticed that, hey,
they look really familiar.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
She just left shift. So it was her replacement paramedic
that had showed up on scene un scene.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
The paramedic that took the shift right after her. His
wife was the pair remedic that showed up to help
them at the end. Schmitty just a wild told them
what restaurant to go to, winds up saving a woman's
life and then gets help from the very people that
told them where to go. On their anniversary, I think
they'll be telling that story for a few years. Just
a little bit feeling good coming at you a couple
(22:14):
times a day. I always want to share amazing things
with you. We'll do it tomorrow six forty five and
nine to twenty on Star Mack and Schmidty in the
morning weekday, starting at six am on Star one oh
five point seven
Wakem It gets my day going and makes me laugh.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I of it.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well, good mornings, Minny, Thank good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Welcome into weekend. Eve Friday, Junior. We've called it a
few things, but today and let's just call it an
absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous Thursday coming our way, Schmitty, I mean.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Upper seventies. I could not believe it. You guys, we
are better than this in Michigan. I went on a
walk with my kids last night and I passed at
least five houses with their ac on, with their ac
ac And then I got on Facebook this morning and
I saw like five people posting and they were like, listen,
I'm not I'm not gonna lie to you. I turned
on my air conditioning yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I'm kidding.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
So you guys, but you know your heat's gonna be
on in like a week. Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
That's a bold move. I didn't think we were at
air conditioning levels quite yet, but today I feel like
we'll get closer for sure. Sunshine out there, and while
we're talking about things that are warm and stuff, well,
we're getting something that is only in two other places
in the world right now in sports fans, you are
gonna love this. Cosm SCHMIDI have you heard of Cosm.
(01:11):
Cosum is right now only in Los Angeles in Dallas,
and you might have actually seen them if you haven't
heard of them, because it is the sports interactive sports bar,
essentially in restaurant where you are completely immersed in the game.
Think of a planetarium, if you will, but instead for
all the biggest sporting events. This is so cool. It's
(01:32):
a massive led dome that offers just the newest form
of watching sports. And it is coming to Detroit. Like
I said, only in Los Angeles and Dallas right now,
but now going to be built in both Atlanta and
in Detroit. It's going to be in Cadillac Square right
there where the Draft was last year, and it's gonna
give yours a front row seat to live sports and
entertainment in a way they haven't actually experienced before. This
(01:55):
is pretty cool. As a matter of fact, talking about
just what this technology is is Jeb Terry, CoSM's president
and CEO, and just think about being able to watch
your favorite sports like this.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
We switched the cameras and produce the game so you're
on the sidelines, under the goalpost in the high and
wide positions. We fell in love with Detroit. And then
the site selection right the site where the NFL draft was,
that just perfectly showcased the energy of what's possible there.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It is going to be unbelievable. If you haven't seen
photos of this stuff yet, I'll put it up for
you at West Michigan Star dot com. But I cannot
wait to get over there and check this out because
it looks almost better than going to a game. It
looks unbelievable, all right.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
So it's a very bittersweet feeling good because obviously one
of the toughest points of life is losing a pet,
and the grief can be overwhelming. Someone who knows that
very well you're veterinarian, and Hannah Rippy in Detroit knows
that very well as a vet tech by day. It's
that full time job that got her into end of
life photography for your pets. She started wandering Hale's photography
(03:01):
and realized it's hard when you put a pet to rest,
that's kind of it, and it broke her heart to
see so many people giving a goodbye that she just
didn't think was good enough for that friend that has
been with you for so long. She just discovered a
real calling.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
It's a calling for me for sure, and it just
brings me so much joy.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Same with pet owners.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Rebby says she only charges whatever people feel like paying.
And when you ask some of those customers, like Deborah Montgomery,
who sat down with ABC seven to talk and celebrate
the life of her sixteen year old dog Molly, who
has just a few months left, it is everything. Because
when you lose a pet, you get the ashes, and
that's about it.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
That is so anti climatic you don't even know what
to do with them.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Really.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
However, I now will have a collection of pictures which
we will be lining the walls. But it also we
spent the day together.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
We spent the day together.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
It's a really cool thing for Hannah to be doing,
and it's only growing bigger and bigger with people going,
I really want to remember my.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Pet like this, anybody who's willing to help others get
some closure and get some love with their pets at
the end, like that's a special person. Yeah, big time.
Feeling good coming at you a couple times a day.
Let's do it again this morning at nine's one good
morning to you. It's Mack and Schmitty. And you know,
when you're a kid, a good hiding spot as good
as gold Schmitty.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I mean, I guess, So what is a really odd
place you've discovered your kids hiding things? So yesterday was
a girl's day for Sophie and I. Will had a
half day, so he actually went fishing with Chris. So
we're in the middle of the afternoon. We got pizza,
we put on a movie nice. I can't find the
remote anywhere, and every parent, man, you can feel my frustration.
The hunt for the remote is just the most annoying
(04:48):
part of any day. And I'm looking everywhere, couch cushions,
behind pillows, I'm looking under blankets. Cannot find this anywhere.
Like thirty plus minutes go by, I cannot find this
remote control. And so I realize my son has hidden
it in his magnetile castle.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
The magnetiles are like those multicolored ones that I'll snap together,
the magnetic awesome.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
The magnetic magna tiles. Yes, Will's very big into magnetiles.
He adores building and I'm talking this kid builds like
a two and a half foot structure it's very, very impressive.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
He dabbles architecture.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yeah, And so I'm looking around and I and I
kind of look down, and I wonder, So I take
one of the like top spires off, and sure enough,
way down deep in the middle of this thing is
the remote control. And then I realize there is a
chocolate Recis egg in there.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
There is a tiny, like little stuffy key chain. And
this kid has been building this magnet castle, magnetile castle,
because that is where he's decided to hide all of
his most prized possessions, so his sister, and it turns
out his parents cannot find anything.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I like that. You gotta have a good hiding spot
for my kids. They're lazy and they just shove things
down couch the sides of couch coaches. Yeah, and they
hide him in there like they're never gonna be found.
But my son an be there, are They? Well? Eventually
when there's when they stack up enough or somebody's face
something on.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
A couch cushions and been like, wow, I haven't seen
that a year and a half, Like, I'm not sure
that's getting found.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I'm not saying it's a weekly occurrence, but definitely they
do stack up over time. They they look at the
trundle bed in my son's room, though Schmitty he thinks
that thing is Fort Knox. So the trundle beds, you know,
they pull out from underneath just like a regular bed
on it. So he was he was so certain no
one would ever look there for anything, that he was
(06:40):
hiding all of his Halloween candy there.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And it's the number one spot, you go.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
His sister was snabbing that stuff, stealing like crazy. Does
the movie.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Have you don't remember that scene they hide all their
candy in the bedposts of the camp bump beds?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yes? Yeah, Ben Stiller's finest.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Work six one six four or five eight five seven
drop your kid's wild hiding spots. If it can beat
a magnetile castle, I would love to hear it.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
We've got our talk back inside our iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
App as well, Mack and Schmitty talking about those perfect
hiding spots.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
It took me over a half an hour to discover
my beautiful son hid the TV remote in his magnetile castle.
But I gotta admit a solid spot. Your kids must
have some weird hiding spots. We got Tracy listening in Spartup.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Honestly, she hides everything everywhere.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
It's like sometimes I can't even find something for like
several months.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
That's all fine and well until it's your car keys.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, thank guy put those up to make sure she
then get so.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Haig's Tracy, thank you, good morning star. Who's this?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
This is Kady from Jensen.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
What's that hiding spot?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I have two.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
The one would be when I was on the bottom
bunk at the bunk side I shared, I would hide
candy and small stuff on the like wrung.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Yeah, and that was considered like that.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
My dad was considered my face, so nobody would ever
go on that. The other one is my jewelry box
if I would hide.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
It in there because my brother's never had a reason.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Throw with my jewelry.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
That's actually a really good idea. Plus, I had a
jewelry box that had like a false bottom underneath. I
felt Barry James Bond about it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Thanks Katie, She's a really interesting points, Maddy, was your
hiding spot? Do you feel like more for your younger
brothers or more from hiding things from your parents?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
My younger brother's one hundred percent, But nothing will be
my younger brother who hid school lunches he was supposed
to take for six months under my bed because I
had a dust ruffle. And I will tell you that
was probably one of the biggest groundings he got to
this day.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh, I can't imagine the smell wow and.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yeah, movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one five point.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Seven, Well First Lady.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Former First Lady Michelle Obama finally opening up on her
podcast about criticism she faced for not attending the second
inauguration of President Donald Trump back in January and the
state of her marriage in a conversation with acclaimed actress
Tarashi p Henson, former First Lady Talking I Am O
with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson about making those decisions
(09:26):
for herself, saying it had nothing to do with anything
political or the state of her marriage.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
No is a full sentence.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
People couldn't believe that I was saying no for any
other reason that they had to assume that my marriage was.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Falling, right.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
You know, It's like, while I'm here really trying to
own my life and intentionally practice making the choice that
was right for me, and it took everything in my
power to not do the thing that was right or
that was was that was perceived as right, but do
the thing that was right for me.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
She said it basically had to trick myself out of
constantly pleasing everyone else. She said, this is her post
White House life, she did eight years of having to
do exactly that, but also admits, honestly, there was also
the side of it. I didn't have anything to wear.
I'm always prepared for a funeral. I always walk around
(10:23):
with the right dress. I travel with clothes just in
case something pops off. So I figured, if I'm not
gonna do this, I'm gonna tell my team, like, we're
not doing this, don't have a dress ready.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I'm all good, I you know. I do think it's
ridiculous how people immediately want to point to like, oh,
they're not together. Must we get a divorce? It's this
only thing that could be I wish.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Other former First ladies would speak on this too. It
has to be just a very very wild change of
pace to go, especially if you've served two terms and
you've been living that life for almost a decade and
suddenly you're allowed kind of more of that anonymity again.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I think it's a really interesting thing to talk about.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Martha Stewart recently had a lister, Glenn Powell, on her
Martha Stewart podcast, the actor celebrating the launch of his
new condiment line, Smash Kitchen. But everybody's talking about Martha's
interview with People Magazine after the podcast episode, Ooh, like
a lot of us. She has Thurston for some Glenn
(11:16):
telling people he's very handsome in a very natural way,
and he has a really nice body. He just had
on sort of a European polo shirt and he looked
really good in it. She adds he didn't have a coat,
it was cold outside. His hair looked great, and he's charming.
He was very talkative. He was very excited about his
new sauces, and he was also very nice talking about
(11:39):
growing up.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, Martha Stewart's word make it.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
A thing every day at the same at.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
The same time fascinated me just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Girl is on the Glenn Powell bandwagon.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
By Uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
That episode just dropped inside of our iHeartRadio app. Finally,
Billy McFarland, the iconic I guess if you'll call him
that founder of Fire Festival has once again hit a
bit of a speed bump. This one kind of ends things,
announcing he is selling the Fire Festival brand. The founder
releasing a statement yesterday letting fans know the last two
(12:15):
years have been a commitment to finishing what he started
and making things right following that debacle that was the
first Fire Festival. But he said grabbing the attention and
sometimes negative headlines gave him just too much to try
and overcome. Him and his team are selling trademarks, intellectual property,
media reach and anything associated with Fire to an operator
(12:37):
who can execute the grand vision they have for the festival.
There's actually an auction tab on the Fire website.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Now.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
He does talk about these string of issues, including where
exactly this festival was going to happen in this press release,
saying no worries. There are several Caribbean countries that have
promised they still have interest in hosting the event. He
just wouldn't quite say where those Caribbean countries are.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I'm willing to make an offer, schmiddy. I'm willing to
do this. I am willing to give Billy McFarland the
same thing he gave the original fire festival goers. I'll
give him a cheese sandwich. That's what I won't buy
if your festival four because that's what it's worth.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Com, Star Fine point seven, Mac and Schmidding Ready to battle.
Battle of the Sex is going to get you to
our Grand Rapids Rise game next Wednesday night.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
That is the second of last two matches. This is
almost it at Van and Al. So you have today's
number one answer. You're gonna join me for our Grand
Rapids Rise. One hundred women surveyed what occupation makes the
most money for doing the least work?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Oh, it's why I want to be a hand model?
So bad?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Oh occupation? But I was gonna say trust fun babies too,
so philanthropic, all right? Six one, six, four, five eight
one oh five. Seven hundred women surveyed what occupation makes
the most money for doing the least work?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Good morning star, who's this Shanda, Shanda? Let's see we
can get you tickets for our Grand Rapids Rise. Shonda,
you just gotta tell me what. One Hundred women were
asked what occupation will earn the most money for doing
the least work. What did they say is their top answer? Dentist?
Good dentist. Why why don't you think dentists work hard?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
It's because it's because the high genis does everything and
then the dentist comes in for like thirty seconds is like, yeah,
I just make sure you floss more often.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Right, sir?
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I mean I get where you're coming from. But no,
Dennis is not on there. I'm sorry, thanks, Hi Star,
who's this? Hi? This is Johanna, Johanna's I just got
a good guess from Shanda. When one hundred women were
asked what occupation earns the most money for doing the
least amount of work, she said dentist, which was not
on the list. Because I think Dennis work plenty hard,
(14:58):
plenty of lazier occupations than at Dennis. So what do
you think it is? Okay? I got my son here
and his name is Jude.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
He's gonna go ahead and answer here.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
What do you think? Jude? Accounted an accountants? Hey, Jude,
do you got do you do hard work when you're
doing math at school? That's what accountants are doing every day, buddy.
They're not lazy, they're just having it. They just have
(15:27):
to do math, which sounds terrible. It's like torture. Sorry, guys,
thanks though, you too, Hi Star.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Who's this Tim?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Tim? All right? I just got some good guesses. One
hundred women. Tim were asked what occupation earns the most
money for doing the least amount of work? And I've
heard two jobs that I think work pretty hard. Dennis
and accountant have been guessed so far. Neither of those
are anywhere near this list. So what do you think
it is? Tim?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Oh man, this is a hard one.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
With You're gonna go with CEO. The person who gets
paid the most does the least once you get to
a certain spot in the company, right, exactly. Yeah. I
don't understand the CEO pay models at all. They're outrageous,
but that's why. That's why they're making the big bucks.
I guess CEO is the top answer. What again?
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Oh man?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
It was ceo, followed by politician, then lawyer, then athlete,
then model, rounding out those top answers. Oh yeah, I
thought it was model. I mean, just you know, say cheese,
that's all I really thought that was happening there.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Yeah, true, true.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Congratulations you're gonna go see our grand Rapids rise all right?
Heck yes, next Wednesday night rise, second to last home
game of the season. We'll get you in again tomorrow.
Battle of the Sex is eight to fifteen every weekday
here on Star, come oning into you. Welcome in your
Wednesday morning, and thank you for sharing it with Diys
Mack spendy big day in my house, smidty fifteen years
(16:59):
for my wife Shell and I done. It's insane and
just to think about that for us because we were
even together for six years before that, so it's like
plus twenty now and I have no idea how time works.
It's breaking my brain every single day. That being said,
we celebrated our fifteenth today, but we really kind of
celebrated all the way back in November because my older
(17:20):
brother got married six months before I did, so all
of our anniversaries fall in the same twelve month year basically.
So we went out to Napa, we celebrated out there,
and that was our big fifteenth. On our tenth, we
went to Italy and again it was my brother kind
of leading the way. But now I feel like we've
sort of said a president because a precedent because all
of our other anniversaries are a little kind of lame.
(17:42):
We don't do very much for almost any of our anniversaries.
There have been years where she doesn't even get me
a gift.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, no, we don't do anything.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
We don't do almost anything. But so I was wondering
whether or not we're not unique at all, and that
we just do the zeros in fives bigger and then
all the other ones are just sort of like, yeah,
it's a great day. Maybe we'll go out to dinner. Maybe,
you know, we'll open up a bottle of wine.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Here's a good news for your twentieth.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Your kids are gonna be entering college, so you'll be
broke as a joke and you won't be able to
go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I don't have to wait for college.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That's how that's how I look get at it. I'm like,
get it out of the way now, babe.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Christ So we didn't do we didn't do a huge honeymoon.
After getting married. A year later, we went to Europe
and went all around Europe. So we're kind of basing
it like we are celebrating our tenth this August, and
I was like, could we He was like, well, technically
ten years since Europe would be next to her.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I was like, good, good God, do we sell some
time to save money? That sounds great.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
So we're just gonna kind of do it on like
the ones and elevens, because yeah, two kids takes a lot.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Autioka, you're fine in your own there, and while I
did say, you know, napa, and then we did Italy
for our fifth anniversary, just to prove it's not always
with the fives and the zero schmidty. I was fishing
on the Chesapeake with my father and brother while my
wife was at home with our four week old baby.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, and you're still married.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
That's love schmitting Colt Thames climbing into the high seventies
sunshine out there for us today. If you're not already
feeling good, that's on you. But we're here to help,
all right, feeling good on starting on five point seven?
What's up, sinning?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
So tonight is the night who I know Detroit is
going to get loud as our Detroit Pistons host the
first home playoff game in years, welcoming the New York
next to Little Caesars Arena, and they're going to have
some very special fans in the crowd because quite a
few of our Detroit Tigers who happened to have an
off night tonight are going to be in that crowd.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
It was really cool. During a press conference, Tiger's manager A. J.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Hinch said, I love seeing Detroit sports teams thriving, and
we are just so proud to be a part of it.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
I love where Detroit sports is at, I mean, and
it's a blast being a part of a number of
teams who are are bringing thrilling sports moments to this
city that the city deserves it. These fan bases all
get to enjoy, you know, these thrilling moments, and I
love that our players a all in on it. They're
all making plans to go on. We'll have a strong
(20:03):
contingency there. I'm going to be there because when you're
all in on the city, these moments matter. These moments
are remembered by fans and by players, and these experiences
stand out specifically here in Detroit because of how cool
of a sports town this is.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
We are all in tonight six thirty five pregame coverage
as the Pistons take on the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You can catch it on our sister station ninety six.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Won the game night, Schmidti, I'm talking a little while ago. Today,
my wife and I celebrating our fifteenth anniversary. And you
hope for any anniversary date that you have something, maybe
a story that you'd talk about for the rest of
your lives that'd be way up there for an anniversary expectation. Well,
that's what Whyoda and Justin Schindler got a last weekend
because the two off duty paramedics, we're going out to
(20:48):
celebrate their anniversary. And as they told their local news KSLA,
they actually got some tips on where to go from
their fellow paramedics.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
She asked some of the other paramedics at work where
we suggest to go to eat.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Well, they suggested a steakhouse there in Syracuse, New York,
and that's when they noticed that a woman was having
a very rough time and it looked like a medical emergency.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Ordered our food and we were just finishing up eating
and there was a lot of commotion over in the
corner that we noticed. So initial as you figured out
what the commotion was, she said, I think somebody's choking
over there. She eventually went unresponsive and stopped breathing. It
didn't have a pulse, so we laiter on the ground
and we started to do I started to do CPR.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yes, he's doing CPR. They wound up getting out an
aed device and shocking the woman too, and after several
minutes unresponsive, not breathing, she finally took a breath and
it was just as the paramedics that were on duty
arrived at scene. And that's when these paramedics noticed that, hey,
they look really familiar.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
She just left shift. So it was her replacement paramedic
that had showed up on scene un scene.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
The paramedic that took the shift right after her. His
wife was the pair remedic that showed up to help
them at the end. Schmitty just a wild told them
what restaurant to go to, winds up saving a woman's
life and then gets help from the very people that
told them where to go. On their anniversary, I think
they'll be telling that story for a few years. Just
a little bit feeling good coming at you a couple
(22:14):
times a day. I always want to share amazing things
with you. We'll do it tomorrow six forty five and
nine to twenty on Star Mack and Schmidty in the
morning weekday, starting at six am on Star one oh
five point seven
