Wakem It gets my day going.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It makes me lab I love it. Mac and Schmitty
in the Morning on Star one of five point seven.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Bucko Morner, Schmitty, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Welcome into your Wednesday. You know what, temperatures out there
in the mid thirties, but it feels more like twenty
degrees in most areas around West Michigan. Cool, rain showers, thunderstorms,
possibly some severe weather at times, and maybe even some
snow this morning, schmidding.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
It's gonna be weird because then by this afternoon we're
in the mid sixties.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Wild.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I have no idea how to dress today, which is
pretty much every single day from March one until Memorial Day,
isn't it big time?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
My friends from Storms to Eat though, they will keep
you up to the date with the latest changes on
that as the day rolls on, because yeah, definitely gonna
be an interesting one out there. Interesting last night for me, schmiddy, though,
my final lip sync battle for one of my kids
went down. It was a millennials dream. I mean, they
just went through all the songs that I feel like
their parents had to have hand picked for them, included
(01:03):
my son or did Bye Bye Bye Okay, and it
was the last song of the night, and clearly the
boy bands, I don't know if you want to call
it nostalgia at this point was alive and well because
I didn't realize how much the kids knew that song still.
I mean, we're talking about, you know, eight year old's,
nine year olds?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Where mass is going? Where's not check?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
He's still collecting? I'm sure, but it was awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I got to ask April Fool's Day yesterday, anything get you?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
No? Nobody? Oh my gosh good.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
My son was so hilarious.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I pick him up from school and we did not
tell him what April Fool's Day is. He comes running
out and he goes, mom, did you know today is
a joke day? I said, oh, April fools Day? Did
anything get you? He goes couple things my teacher did,
but have you done the fool?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
All day?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
That's what he kept saying, have you done the fool?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
So, ladies and gentlemen, from here on out, I am
making a proclamation that it is no longer April Fool's Day. Hey,
on April first, every year, it is have you.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Done the fool?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It was the cutest thing I've ever heard, and it
made me slightly less hate the day.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Please don't ever change that phrase in your home.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Have you done a fool? That's so cool?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh my gosh, movies, music, and all the gossip in
one place.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It's the celebrity scoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Well this is breaking scoop. We actually heard about this
late late last night. But Val Kilmer, star of movies
like Top Gun, The Doors, and Batman Forever, passing away
yesterday in Los Angeles. VAL's daughter Mercedes telling The New
York Times her dad died of pneumonia. Now you remember,
(02:44):
he'd been diagnosed with a throat tumor back in twenty fourteen,
but had been recovering from that.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Famously playing the lead role.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Of rockstar Jim Morrison, he starred as Bruce Wayne and
obviously most famously Iceman, both in Top Gun back in
nineteen eighty and his final role the twenty twenty two
sequel Top Gun.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Maverick Eat Maverick, the.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Kid Eat Maverick. That's why I fought for you. That's
why you're still here.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
You'll remember.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Filmmakers said they did use AI to recreate VAL's voice,
which he had lost due to his throat cancer. Countless
countless stars in Hollywood paying tribute to this unbelievable star.
Tombstone was another incredible movie. Val survived by his two
adult children, Marcedes and Jack. He was only sixty five
(03:41):
years old.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Really sad, it really is, especially to watch how difficult
those last several years of his life were. There and
just it was great to see him be able to reconnect,
I think with his incredible, incredible career with Top.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Ye yeah, yess and no, did you ever see the
Amazon documentary in two dous watch one?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
He's very happy, he is fulfilled. He talks a lot
about his art.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
In fact, his final Facebook post was back on March
twenty second, where he was describing another one of his pieces.
He seemed like he was very very much a piece.
Former NYPD Blue star Kim Delaney will not face any
charges after allegedly trying to run her husband over with
a car. If you heard me say this story back
earlier this week, it turns out LA prosecutors declining to
(04:27):
file any charges against her or her husband. The actress
was in La County Superior Court yesterday after she was
arrested back on Saturday for assault likely to cause great
bodily harm against her husband. James Morgan, was also arrested
for misdemeanor domestic violence. It was a wild story, the
(04:48):
DA says, based on a review of the evidence. To date,
the DA's office has not filed charges against Kim Delaney
or James Morgan.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Should additional evidence.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Or witnesses emerge during the course of the investigation, this
decision may be reconsidered.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I always wonder whether you get in a situation like this.
You're famous and most known for being on a cop show,
whether you're ever like you ever seen in My Pad
Blue you recognized me.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Turns on doesn't maybe get you out of possibly running
over your husband with a car. And finally, Keenan Thompson,
one of the Saturday Night Live cast members, is sharing
his thoughts on country star Morgan Wallin's abrupt exit after
being the musical guest over the weekend on SNL. Talking
to Entertainment Weekly, he said, I don't know what goes
(05:31):
through people's minds when they decide to do stuff like that.
I don't know if he understood the assignment or not,
or if he was really feeling a certain kind of way.
I thought maybe he had to go to the potty
or something. It's definitely a spike in the norm. We're
so used to everybody just turning around and high fiving us.
Everybody's seen, good job, good job. When there's a departure
(05:51):
from that, it is definitely like, hmm, I wonder what
that's about. There's also rumors flying that Morgan had quite
the tam Trump backstage during the show. However, it is
not stopping him from cashing in.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
If you go to Morgan Wallin's website, you'll notice his
online store now includes merch that says get me to
God's Country. That was his Instagram post after he abruptly
left USNL. He is hawking T shirts and hats for
forty five bucks a pop.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I may never miss an opportunity.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
For miss an opportunity.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Sometimes because I get a good feeling, well, let's put
a little positivity out there. We're always looking for it,
so it's not hard to find feeling good right now
and starting on five points seven and Schmidty, this is
so cool. A real life Homeward Bound has taking place
at the Central Vermont Humane Society an Eastmont Pillier, Vermont,
(06:49):
because they recently rescued two dogs, River and Reed, and
a cat excuse me, River and Rain and a cat's
named Reid, who had been lost and traveling together. This
is so cool Erica Holme, who works with the Central
Vermont Humane Society there just explaining this very unique situation.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
River, Rain and Reed were found together as strays. Often
do you not only see cats and dogs together and
love each other so much, But in their case, they
were loose and stayed together.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
That's right, loose and stayed together, and through quite a bit.
It looked like too, because the shelter realized the three
of them had not been getting proper care for quite
a while. They needed real love and medical attention. River
and Rain, the two dogs, well, they began to bounce
back really quick, but Read the cat remained really distant
and upset until the shelter got the idea to reunite
(07:47):
the cat with the dogs, thinking that that might get
out of Chelle, and instantly the cat started responding the
trio's bond, capturing hearts online, prompting them to look for
somebody who'd be willing to adopt all three of them together.
And that's the cool partch Fitty, is that somebody came
forward over the weekend after they got this up online
(08:08):
and is now fostering with the hopes of keeping all
three of those animals together so they can continue on.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Well, then you can rename the cat Sassy. That was
the best part.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I mean, I was just thinking, like, I hope they
have adventures too, you.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Know me in the big letter, fuck nice shut Canton.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
That's why they call it the Catapults.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Sillifield and Michael J. Fox's best work.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Oh it's so good.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
A Metro Detroit family is sharing their no unbelievable gratitude
after track coaches at Alan Park High School saved their
daughter's life. You guys, we keep hearing this and it
is the importance of knowing CPR and having an AED
on campus. Back on March twelfth, fourteen year old Alyssa Atkinson,
(08:53):
a freshman at Alan Park High School, was doing her
normal warm up during track practice. She tells ABC seven.
I remember doing two warm up laps than doing our
regular warm up in lines and suddenly gone, that is
all I remember. It turns out Alyssa had gone into
sudden cardiac arrest and thankfully her two track coaches knew
(09:15):
exactly what to do. Her mom, Kelly Dolan, is unbelievably.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Thankful experience that larger city.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I don't understand what's going on here.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
It's got her heart rhythm back in place before the
AMUS arrived, but those critical seconds changed. I would say,
my life, my daughter's life, and it saved her life.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Like very grateful.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I mean, it's like to be even a wake right
now at the moment, but I was also like, it
was scary to know like that that happened to me.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
And how do you thank a person for saving your
daughter's life?
Speaker 6 (09:47):
And very thankful?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Wow, so cool. I've got the story up for you,
West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You're not kidding. Between the CPR and the AEDs that
are more available, more and more lives being saved, you're
being trained in how to do those things. So important.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
American Heart Association.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
All right, feeling good, Kevin Age A couple of times
a day. We'll do it again this morning coming up
at nine.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Tweter movies, music and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Wow, just really sad news that broke late last night.
Actor Val Kilmer passing away at the age of sixty five,
the star of huge movies including Top Gun, The Doors,
Batman Forever, and Tombstone, passing away in Los Angeles, according
to his family. VAL's daughter Marcedes Kilmer telling The New
(10:35):
York Times he died of pneumonia. We know he'd been
diagnosed with a throat tumor back in twenty fourteen, but
had recovered. This is just a shock to Hollywood. You'll
remember his final movie, Top Gun Maverick back in twenty
twenty two, where filmmakers actually used AI to help recreate
his voice.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
The Navy eat Maverick, the Kid eat Maverick. That's why
I fought for you. That's why you're still here.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
So many tributes, Actor Josh Brolin, writing Sapal, you are
a smart, challenging, brave, uber, creative firecracker, and there is
just not a lot of those left. Matthew Modine, rip Val.
If it wasn't for our chance encounter at the Source
in nineteen eighty five, I would never have been cast
(11:28):
in full metal jacket. James Woods says his rendition of
Doc Holiday and Tombstone is what every actor dreams of achieving,
even director Francis Ford Coppola saying Val Kilmer was the
most talented actor when in his high school years, and
that talent only grew greater throughout his life. He was
(11:48):
a wonderful person and an absolute joy to work with
and to know. He is survived by his two adult children,
Marcedes and Jack. Again, Val Kilmer passing away at sixty five, and.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It is sad to see him past that young bo
What a filmography, I mean, the guy was in so
many just incredible films throughout his career. Uh oh, you
got a favorite Val Kilmer movie, schmitty.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I'm im it's probably.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I really love Tombstone, did you? I really really love Tombstone.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I go back and forth between the adult and the kid.
Willow loved him and Willow.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
And how he met his wife Sindria. But yeah, that's
where he met his ex wife and.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Heat Heat one of the all time best cop robber
movies ever.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
All right, we have got some moms in Hollywood celebrating
new babies. Jason Kelsey and his wife Kylie are now
officially parents to four girls. Kylie making the announcement late
last night, on her Instagram baby girl named Finley Anne
they will affectionately call her Thinn, sharing a few very
sweet photos saying she is finally here. She joins big
(12:53):
sisters Wyatt, Elliott and Bennett five four and too, so
they're going to have a busy house. We've also gotten
confirmation from a friend close to actress Jennifer Lawrence that
she has also welcomed her second child with husband Cook Maroney,
but no idea on gender, name, birthdate.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
They tend to be.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Very very private about that, but a big congratulations to
both those women.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
For Jason Kelsey, I just love that a big giant
bear of a human man like that is a four
girl dad.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
The picture of him cradling Finn is very very sweet. Finally, wow,
is it record breaking? On Capitol Hill? Yesterday Senator Corey
Booker making history. The senator from New Jersey gave a
filibuster speech for twenty five hours five minutes on the
(13:42):
Senate floor, breaking a long standing record for the longest
Senate speech on record, with.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
The senator yield for a question, Chuck schu Were, is
the only time in my life I can tell you no,
I just want to tell you a question Do you
know you have just broken the record? Do you know
how proud this caucus is of you? Do you know
how proud America is of you?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, that record had stood since nineteen fifty seven. I
did see some fantastic comments from people going, Man, I've
been in all staff meetings that felt twenty five hours,
five minutes. All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan
start dot com.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, good morning too. It's Mack and Schmidty and gosh,
you know, I have got so much foemo right now
for everybody going on spring break.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Well, and it's been very weird and I don't know
if maybe I've just missed this. The past couple of years,
there's like five different spring breaks in the state of Michigan.
I knew people that had their spring break three weeks ago,
like the first week of March was their spring break,
which is generally college. I know people that had it
last week the week before. I know one of my
(14:47):
kids starts their spring break today. The other one goes
to school through Fridays, so they don't start technically until Monday.
But it's the battle I feel like parents wage every year,
especially depending on the a of your kids. Do you
fly or do you drive to spring break? The majority
of us, I feel like, are going to Florida. That's
(15:07):
actually the top spot according to Expedia. It's Florida followed
by Vegas. So if that tells you between the people
that do and do not have kids going on spring
break with them. But I wondered, what is actually easier.
We've now done both because back in February is when
we went to Florida and it was our first time
ever flying with the kids. We have driven everywhere else,
(15:29):
and we went and did a really cool trip. A
few years ago, when we only had Will, we drove
to Savannah and it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Here's a hot hack. Parents leave at bedtime, do.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
The bath routine, put them in pajamas, get them their blanket,
get them in the car seat. Will slipt for the
first eight and a half hours of our drive. We
were south of West Virginia before we woke up, so
that felt super easy.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
I don't know if my daughter would handle a car
that well.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Also, driving all the way to the middle of Florida
sounds like a positive nightmare to me.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I find this to be such a generational difference for
my family because I never flew anywhere. I never took
a plane ride until we drove to the shores. Yeah, exactly.
We went down to like Vero Beach in Florida and
other areas down there, Melbourne, stuff like that. And in
my head I can imagine driving to Florida with my family,
and you said Vegas. I lived there for a while
(16:24):
and it's a thirty hour drive, which I guess, if
I think about it is only six hours longer than
what I have to drive to Florida a lot of
the time. And never in a million years would I
ever consider driving to Las Vegas for spring break. But
that's essentially what we're all doing when we make it
trip to Florida.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Well, and the other thing, though, is you're not dodging
tornadoes heaving through Tornado Alley to Vegas. But here's some
interesting and this is what I know is probably a
big part of your conversation. The average plane ticket right
now is almost three hundred dollars per person. They're saying
that there's going to be one hundred and seventy three
million passengers from March to the end of April. And
(17:01):
I'm super sorry to be the pure of bad news.
Today is the busiest and most expensive day to fly
the entire.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Break, and you know that everybody's going anywhere. Just immediately
was like, oh, the Wednesday, that's the day you do it.
It'll be cheack.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Well.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
But and so here's the other way.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I look at it though, when we were traveling with
younger kids, which is why I brought it up. Depending
on the age of your kids, it's a big difference.
I don't know I will ever fly again with car seats.
That is the worst and it's very stressful in having
to check them and then hope that they don't come
back damaged. That was my husband's big thing. He almost
(17:38):
did drive us to Florida. He's a very big proponent
of driving. He loves it. He is all about it.
But you also have to remember we're in Michigan, and
that means you have to either drive through Indiana or Ohio,
which might just be the end of you.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
It's accurate, I you know you avoid them at all cautions.
Can you give me.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Sixty mile an hour speed limits on your expressway?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Why do you have stoplights in the middle of the expressway.
It makes no sense to me. In Ohio, there's just
no getting through it. One end all of seventy five
and the other end of seventy five only good things
coming out of Ohio.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
So I'm wondering what your family is doing. If you
are leaving for spring break, are you flying or are
you driving? Six one six four five eight one oh
five seven send us a talk back on our iHeartRadio app.
I will report at least the Gerald R. Ford International Airport.
It looks like all arrivals are on time and you're
(18:33):
only looking at a couple delays to Chicago. But keep
an eye out because this severe weather unfortunately might be
impacting your travel later today too. Like I said, I
didn't want to be a buzz kill, but I'm just
here to report things that's going to help you and
your family stay intact for whatever travel you have planned.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Its time on a fun point, seah A good morning
to you. It's Mac and Schmidty. And you know, occasionally
we all wonder how we're doing as parents. Well, you're
probably doing okay, and we try and make you feel
a little better about your skills with our Oh schmitty,
my daughter on the cusp of being a teenager just
turned twelve years old. Tween yes, and but you know what,
(19:14):
I feel like she's advanced when it comes to parental embarrassment. Schmidty,
And I thought I was doing something kind of funny
and kind of sweet. So in our house before they
leave every day for school or when they're getting ready
to go out of the weekend, we just say this
stupid phrase, that's how are your chick lits and pits?
Your pits and chicklets? Okay, teeth in our pits? You
(19:37):
put on the odor? And did you brush your teeth right? Like?
These are the things that I have to ask my
kids now all the time. So yeah, we just did.
We say it in our house. And so last week
we had parent teacher conferences and one of the cool
things that they do, and I like this, They've been
doing it for years at my kids schools is they
allow you to leave a note for your kid that
they will get when they're in class. And so I'm
(19:59):
just being the stupid that I am trying to be
funny and I just right down there, did you check
your chicklets and your pets?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
You did not.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I can smell you from work, Love you, honey, see you?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Oh you really thought that was a good idea. Didn't
you Wow?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I thought, Wow, cute it'd be folks see that. That's
how it would take right up until the boy that
sits next to her at there because they all sit
in groups of four. Yeah, and that boy next to
her goes your pets. Your dad can smell you. You
wear deodorant is the word that he said. I'm like
in my head, I'm like, I hope somebody's telling that
(20:35):
kid about deodorant.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
But so here's the new bit we'll be starting next Wednesday.
Should you or should you not?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Mac?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
And I'm gonna guess ninety eight percent of the time
you should not.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
You know, I would appreciated that. Shiminy, my ten year
old son would have appreciated that. He would have laughed
at Dad for sure.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Keep saying that to yourself.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Well, we've been reliving just so many of his famous
and incredibly brilliant roles throughout the morning. Following the passing
of actor Val Kilmer, star of movies like Top Gun,
The Doors, Batman Forever in Tombstone, passing away yesterday at
the age of sixty five. The news was confirmed by
his daughter Mercedes, saying her dad died of pneumonia and
(21:28):
I thought this was really cool. You remember, his last
official film would have been twenty twenty two's Top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
The Navy Eat Maverick, The Kid Eat Maverick. That's why
I fought for you. That's why you're still here.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
It's not often you see a branch of the military
paying tribute to a Hollywood icon, but the US Naval
Institute posting Rip actor Val Kilmer. In addition to his
appearances in Batman, Forever and Tombstone, Kilmer perhaps was best
known for his role as Tom Iceman in Top Gun,
his final film, Top Gun Maverick in twenty twenty two.
(22:11):
The Navy says that was a huge reason that there
was renewed interest in joining the military, and they've always
been very, very thankful to those movies.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
It's an interesting thought. I guess I just didn't realize
the recruiting efforts that do come out of something like that.
But when you make some aviaight or sunglasses and a
fighter jet look that cool, people are going to want.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
To do it.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
That's really sad stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Again Just sixty five Fox Sports host Nick Wright claims
his friendship with Travis Kelcey has seriously deteriorated ever since
he started dating Taylor Swift, so this has gone viral.
It all stems from last week's New Heights podcast. That's
where Travis and his brother Jason host together and they
(22:52):
kind of gave a shout out to Nick. On his
most recent podcast episode, What's Right with Nick Wright, he said,
this is it's very surprising because the two haven't spoken
in quite a while.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
So here's the thing. Trav and I have not like
talked talked since he's been serious with Taylor Swift. Don't
want to bother him during the year, and then last
offseason he was traveling the world with Taylor. So't I
haven't talked to trave in a while, so appreciate the
shout out on you know, one of the world's most
(23:23):
popular podcasts.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
He does say, yeah, I haven't really spoken to him
since he's become this super celebrity. He brings up the
Chiefs Parade where they were going to meet up, and
then of course that tragic shooting happened, but says, listen,
name a time and a place I'd love to come
on your pod and like try to be friends again,
but so far it's been pretty quiet.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
This feels like the wrong way to go about it.
I can just tell you is like another guy like
you airing out your grievances in public. Like this is
the last thing I'd want to let's come on it podcast.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
I just don't do that.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I feel like I love this and sign me up
take all my money. Dolly Pardon is dropping some new denim.

a person might leave behind after getting off an airplane.
What do you think? Their top answer was, Nicole, a book?
Oh yeah, you leave the reading material behind. It would
be a book. Now. I was gonna say magazines were
(26:22):
always something that I'd feel like people would leave on
planes for the next person to use. But nobody reads
magazines anymore. Right, So book, though, is the number three
most common answer. I'm sorry, cold, thanks, Hi, Star. Who's
this Jennifer? Jennifer, I just got a good guest from Nicole.
When one hundred women were asked to name something a
person might leave behind when they exit a plane, she
(26:44):

number three most common answer, but not the top one.
Speaker 3 (26:49):

jealous of everybody flying today off to go on fantastic
spring break adventures. But safe travels to you all the same,
big time, right, Jennifer, Congrats, enjoy Nicki Glazier will do
it again tomorrow eight fifteen. Battle of the Sexies right
(27:34):
here on stuff, Sam on it to you. It's Mack
and Schmidty and I want to talk to you about
embarrassing black style or blackmail style material that your parents
gathered on you as a child.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I don't think they knew at the time, right, Like
they were just very proud and now it's horribly embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I bring this up actually because I mentioned my son
Connor and a bunch of his friends all did a
lip sync battle last night with their and it's so
much fun. I mean it's literally like sixty seventy kids
all doing these ridiculous lip syncs with props and everything else.
Like my son had a faux hawk on and a
massive gold chain sunglasses. I mean, he and his buddies
(28:14):
had a blast with it. And as I'm talking to
other parents, they're like, oh, there's so much blackmail material here,
talking about like later in life, college graduations and stuff
like that, bringing it out. And I feel like that
is such a huge difference from when you and I
were younger and now our kids, because literally our kids
have everything on video. Nothing is going to stand out
(28:36):
that significantly. I feel like it's super embarrassing because there's
gonna be so much content of our kids that it
just won't have that same embarrassing sting. I don't know
that your family.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Has some pretty good ones. I have in a folder
all on its own and my Google photos.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
This is good mommy right there, for sure. But it
made me think about when your parents were out there
and maybe they had their first camquarder they ever had.
Maybe it was a video they got the school of
one of your performances. But chances are you did something
that you felt kind of embarrassed about, and it just
keeps on getting brought back out, whether it's at reunion's, weddings,
the birth of new children, anytime somebody happens to bring
(29:13):
up spandex. In my case, I know that my wife
is like, do you have that picture of you in
the lime green and fluorescent orange handy with a paper
mache flower on my head doing the Waltz of the
Flowers a ballet dance in a group of all girls
except for me and one other boy.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Because there's got to be pictures.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
There's no way to watch VHS's anymore, which is the
way my parents took everything with the giant camera that
you had to sit on your shoulder.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yes, like there's no way to see that.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
We actually had to like that. We got the mini
one at one point in time, Novan, where you had
to stick the little VHS inside of the mill.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
We have like more TV eight looking equipment until like
two thousand and ten, and it's never a video or
a picture every single time. It's just a verbal story
because for like nine years I used to pray ail
Mary full of grass instead of grace, and it comes
up every single time we pray at a holiday.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Honestly, I'd have such a good time doing the Rosary
sitting next year because I would just.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Say, don't Mary full of grass?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Ail Mary full of grass? I asked this I'm Facebook
and Aaron admitted that they recorded us using a quote
unquote I'm his dear call and put water in It
made us blow just so water would come shooting out
directly into your face. Look like a bent up French
horn designed to basically pray pranks on your children.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
With you, Yeah, Dana's lived all of our lives. If
you do not have a picture or a video of
you in full headgear, you didn't obviously have braces.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Share that blackmail moment with us what you've got online
on Facebook and Instagram right now at West Michigan.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Star sometime does that get a good faling?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Well, definitely a rainy, dreary morning that we're going to
look to drop a little sunshine into you right now.
Feeling good on Star? What's going on? Schmidni Well?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Every year I love this.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Would TV take submissions for a contest they run called
Remarkable Women of West Michigan, and from those nominations throughout
the entire year, they have one big winner, your Remarkable.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Woman of West Michigan.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
And I cannot think of someone more deserving this year
than a very very surprised Chef Jenna, who learned about
this yesterday.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Chef Jenna, you are Wood TVs West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Remarkable Woman of the Year.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Congratulations. I just feel really honored and surprised and wow,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
She does so much in the community, besides owning a
Moore Tratoria Italiana over on Alpine. We know her best
is Chef Jenna. She does amazing work through her nonprofit
Food Hugs. She has won a one thousand dollars donation
to her beautiful charity, Food Hugs, and also gets a
trip to LA And I just wanted to spotlight this
(32:07):
because she very very rarely ever asks for attention with
everything that she does. She's just one of those incredible
humans and we're lucky enough to have her right here
in West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
You're not kidding. It has been just given back, especially
to those service industry workers. And restaurant owners for the
last several years in a big way.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
She gets it better than anyone.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Love it all right TikTok user Catalina or on TikTok
Catalina Most Good Gina. She shared this heartwarming video and
I think it's something that people could relate to. I
know it's true for you, Shmitti when you go to
a mechanic, especially one that you don't know very well,
if you feel like they're just talking in a different
language to you, and that maybe the insecurity that comes
with that feels like you're getting ripped off. Well, her
(32:50):
and her Uber driver actually had a conversation about that
where he kind of said, look, you know, these mechanics
can sometimes be really rude to women and you know,
cards and for things they don't really need. And that's
when they came up with an idea. I know how
these guys are. That's not tell them you're my dad. Okay,
(33:10):
that's right, tell him you're my dad. Uber driver and
this guy took it upon himself to fully take on
the dad broll. We're talking hands on hips, walking around
the car, inspecting it just like you might imagine your
dad would and even turning down some of those extra
services that were being suggested. Transmission mounts.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Oh the mount engine moves back and forth.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
Okay, okay, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Don't worry about it. You keeping on eyeing to be
doing next time when you do change, pay for the
old change and let's go.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Okay, come on, follow me, follow me.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Okay, this very nice.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I pretended to be your dad through the entire process
and even got her out of having to tell this guy, no,
I don't need any of that stuff right now. It's
very cool. I'm about the video for you can check
it out yourself. Always here to provide something to get
you feeling good each and every morning, six forty five
and nine twenty here on Star one oh five point
seven Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Bucko Morner, Schmitty, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Welcome into your Wednesday. You know what, temperatures out there
in the mid thirties, but it feels more like twenty
degrees in most areas around West Michigan. Cool, rain showers, thunderstorms,
possibly some severe weather at times, and maybe even some
snow this morning, schmidding.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
It's gonna be weird because then by this afternoon we're
in the mid sixties.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Wild.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I have no idea how to dress today, which is
pretty much every single day from March one until Memorial Day,
isn't it big time?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
My friends from Storms to Eat though, they will keep
you up to the date with the latest changes on
that as the day rolls on, because yeah, definitely gonna
be an interesting one out there. Interesting last night for me, schmiddy, though,
my final lip sync battle for one of my kids
went down. It was a millennials dream. I mean, they
just went through all the songs that I feel like
their parents had to have hand picked for them, included
(01:03):
my son or did Bye Bye Bye Okay, and it
was the last song of the night, and clearly the
boy bands, I don't know if you want to call
it nostalgia at this point was alive and well because
I didn't realize how much the kids knew that song still.
I mean, we're talking about, you know, eight year old's,
nine year olds?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Where mass is going? Where's not check?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
He's still collecting? I'm sure, but it was awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I got to ask April Fool's Day yesterday, anything get you?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
No? Nobody? Oh my gosh good.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
My son was so hilarious.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I pick him up from school and we did not
tell him what April Fool's Day is. He comes running
out and he goes, mom, did you know today is
a joke day? I said, oh, April fools Day? Did
anything get you? He goes couple things my teacher did,
but have you done the fool?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
All day?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
That's what he kept saying, have you done the fool?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
So, ladies and gentlemen, from here on out, I am
making a proclamation that it is no longer April Fool's Day. Hey,
on April first, every year, it is have you.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Done the fool?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It was the cutest thing I've ever heard, and it
made me slightly less hate the day.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Please don't ever change that phrase in your home.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Have you done a fool? That's so cool?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh my gosh, movies, music, and all the gossip in
one place.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It's the celebrity scoop on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Well this is breaking scoop. We actually heard about this
late late last night. But Val Kilmer, star of movies
like Top Gun, The Doors, and Batman Forever, passing away
yesterday in Los Angeles. VAL's daughter Mercedes telling The New
York Times her dad died of pneumonia. Now you remember,
(02:44):
he'd been diagnosed with a throat tumor back in twenty fourteen,
but had been recovering from that.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Famously playing the lead role.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Of rockstar Jim Morrison, he starred as Bruce Wayne and
obviously most famously Iceman, both in Top Gun back in
nineteen eighty and his final role the twenty twenty two
sequel Top Gun.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Maverick Eat Maverick, the.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Kid Eat Maverick. That's why I fought for you. That's
why you're still here.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
You'll remember.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Filmmakers said they did use AI to recreate VAL's voice,
which he had lost due to his throat cancer. Countless
countless stars in Hollywood paying tribute to this unbelievable star.
Tombstone was another incredible movie. Val survived by his two
adult children, Marcedes and Jack. He was only sixty five
(03:41):
years old.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Really sad, it really is, especially to watch how difficult
those last several years of his life were. There and
just it was great to see him be able to reconnect,
I think with his incredible, incredible career with Top.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Ye yeah, yess and no, did you ever see the
Amazon documentary in two dous watch one?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
He's very happy, he is fulfilled. He talks a lot
about his art.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
In fact, his final Facebook post was back on March
twenty second, where he was describing another one of his pieces.
He seemed like he was very very much a piece.
Former NYPD Blue star Kim Delaney will not face any
charges after allegedly trying to run her husband over with
a car. If you heard me say this story back
earlier this week, it turns out LA prosecutors declining to
(04:27):
file any charges against her or her husband. The actress
was in La County Superior Court yesterday after she was
arrested back on Saturday for assault likely to cause great
bodily harm against her husband. James Morgan, was also arrested
for misdemeanor domestic violence. It was a wild story, the
(04:48):
DA says, based on a review of the evidence. To date,
the DA's office has not filed charges against Kim Delaney
or James Morgan.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Should additional evidence.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Or witnesses emerge during the course of the investigation, this
decision may be reconsidered.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I always wonder whether you get in a situation like this.
You're famous and most known for being on a cop show,
whether you're ever like you ever seen in My Pad
Blue you recognized me.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Turns on doesn't maybe get you out of possibly running
over your husband with a car. And finally, Keenan Thompson,
one of the Saturday Night Live cast members, is sharing
his thoughts on country star Morgan Wallin's abrupt exit after
being the musical guest over the weekend on SNL. Talking
to Entertainment Weekly, he said, I don't know what goes
(05:31):
through people's minds when they decide to do stuff like that.
I don't know if he understood the assignment or not,
or if he was really feeling a certain kind of way.
I thought maybe he had to go to the potty
or something. It's definitely a spike in the norm. We're
so used to everybody just turning around and high fiving us.
Everybody's seen, good job, good job. When there's a departure
(05:51):
from that, it is definitely like, hmm, I wonder what
that's about. There's also rumors flying that Morgan had quite
the tam Trump backstage during the show. However, it is
not stopping him from cashing in.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
If you go to Morgan Wallin's website, you'll notice his
online store now includes merch that says get me to
God's Country. That was his Instagram post after he abruptly
left USNL. He is hawking T shirts and hats for
forty five bucks a pop.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I may never miss an opportunity.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
For miss an opportunity.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
All of your celeb scoop at West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Sometimes because I get a good feeling, well, let's put
a little positivity out there. We're always looking for it,
so it's not hard to find feeling good right now
and starting on five points seven and Schmidty, this is
so cool. A real life Homeward Bound has taking place
at the Central Vermont Humane Society an Eastmont Pillier, Vermont,
(06:49):
because they recently rescued two dogs, River and Reed, and
a cat excuse me, River and Rain and a cat's
named Reid, who had been lost and traveling together. This
is so cool Erica Holme, who works with the Central
Vermont Humane Society there just explaining this very unique situation.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
River, Rain and Reed were found together as strays. Often
do you not only see cats and dogs together and
love each other so much, But in their case, they
were loose and stayed together.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
That's right, loose and stayed together, and through quite a bit.
It looked like too, because the shelter realized the three
of them had not been getting proper care for quite
a while. They needed real love and medical attention. River
and Rain, the two dogs, well, they began to bounce
back really quick, but Read the cat remained really distant
and upset until the shelter got the idea to reunite
(07:47):
the cat with the dogs, thinking that that might get
out of Chelle, and instantly the cat started responding the
trio's bond, capturing hearts online, prompting them to look for
somebody who'd be willing to adopt all three of them together.
And that's the cool partch Fitty, is that somebody came
forward over the weekend after they got this up online
(08:08):
and is now fostering with the hopes of keeping all
three of those animals together so they can continue on.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Well, then you can rename the cat Sassy. That was
the best part.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I mean, I was just thinking, like, I hope they
have adventures too, you.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Know me in the big letter, fuck nice shut Canton.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
That's why they call it the Catapults.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Sillifield and Michael J. Fox's best work.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Oh it's so good.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
A Metro Detroit family is sharing their no unbelievable gratitude
after track coaches at Alan Park High School saved their
daughter's life. You guys, we keep hearing this and it
is the importance of knowing CPR and having an AED
on campus. Back on March twelfth, fourteen year old Alyssa Atkinson,
(08:53):
a freshman at Alan Park High School, was doing her
normal warm up during track practice. She tells ABC seven.
I remember doing two warm up laps than doing our
regular warm up in lines and suddenly gone, that is
all I remember. It turns out Alyssa had gone into
sudden cardiac arrest and thankfully her two track coaches knew
(09:15):
exactly what to do. Her mom, Kelly Dolan, is unbelievably.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Thankful experience that larger city.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I don't understand what's going on here.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
It's got her heart rhythm back in place before the
AMUS arrived, but those critical seconds changed. I would say,
my life, my daughter's life, and it saved her life.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Like very grateful.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I mean, it's like to be even a wake right
now at the moment, but I was also like, it
was scary to know like that that happened to me.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
And how do you thank a person for saving your
daughter's life?
Speaker 6 (09:47):
And very thankful?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Wow, so cool. I've got the story up for you,
West Michigan Star dot com.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You're not kidding. Between the CPR and the AEDs that
are more available, more and more lives being saved, you're
being trained in how to do those things. So important.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
American Heart Association.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
All right, feeling good, Kevin Age A couple of times
a day. We'll do it again this morning coming up

Wow, just really sad news that broke late last night.
Actor Val Kilmer passing away at the age of sixty five,
the star of huge movies including Top Gun, The Doors,
Batman Forever, and Tombstone, passing away in Los Angeles, according
to his family. VAL's daughter Marcedes Kilmer telling The New
(10:35):
York Times he died of pneumonia. We know he'd been
diagnosed with a throat tumor back in twenty fourteen, but
had recovered. This is just a shock to Hollywood. You'll
remember his final movie, Top Gun Maverick back in twenty
twenty two, where filmmakers actually used AI to help recreate
his voice.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
The Navy eat Maverick, the Kid eat Maverick. That's why
I fought for you. That's why you're still here.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
So many tributes, Actor Josh Brolin, writing Sapal, you are
a smart, challenging, brave, uber, creative firecracker, and there is
just not a lot of those left. Matthew Modine, rip Val.
If it wasn't for our chance encounter at the Source
in nineteen eighty five, I would never have been cast
(11:28):
in full metal jacket. James Woods says his rendition of
Doc Holiday and Tombstone is what every actor dreams of achieving,
even director Francis Ford Coppola saying Val Kilmer was the
most talented actor when in his high school years, and
that talent only grew greater throughout his life. He was
(11:48):
a wonderful person and an absolute joy to work with
and to know. He is survived by his two adult children,
Marcedes and Jack. Again, Val Kilmer passing away at sixty five, and.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It is sad to see him past that young bo
What a filmography, I mean, the guy was in so
many just incredible films throughout his career. Uh oh, you
got a favorite Val Kilmer movie, schmitty.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I'm im it's probably.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I really love Tombstone, did you? I really really love Tombstone.
Speaker 2 (12:18):

they will affectionately call her Thinn, sharing a few very
sweet photos saying she is finally here. She joins big

she has also welcomed her second child with husband Cook Maroney,
but no idea on gender, name, birthdate.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
They tend to be.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Very very private about that, but a big congratulations to

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, good morning too. It's Mack and Schmidty and gosh,
you know, I have got so much foemo right now
for everybody going on spring break.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Well, and it's been very weird and I don't know
if maybe I've just missed this. The past couple of years,
there's like five different spring breaks in the state of Michigan.
I knew people that had their spring break three weeks ago,
like the first week of March was their spring break,
which is generally college. I know people that had it
last week the week before. I know one of my
(14:47):
kids starts their spring break today. The other one goes
to school through Fridays, so they don't start technically until Monday.
But it's the battle I feel like parents wage every year,
especially depending on the a of your kids. Do you
fly or do you drive to spring break? The majority
of us, I feel like, are going to Florida. That's
(15:07):
actually the top spot according to Expedia. It's Florida followed
by Vegas. So if that tells you between the people
that do and do not have kids going on spring
break with them. But I wondered, what is actually easier.
We've now done both because back in February is when
we went to Florida and it was our first time
ever flying with the kids. We have driven everywhere else,
(15:29):
and we went and did a really cool trip. A
few years ago, when we only had Will, we drove
to Savannah and it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Here's a hot hack. Parents leave at bedtime, do.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
The bath routine, put them in pajamas, get them their blanket,
get them in the car seat. Will slipt for the
first eight and a half hours of our drive. We
were south of West Virginia before we woke up, so
that felt super easy.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
I don't know if my daughter would handle a car
that well.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Also, driving all the way to the middle of Florida
sounds like a positive nightmare to me.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I find this to be such a generational difference for
my family because I never flew anywhere. I never took
a plane ride until we drove to the shores. Yeah, exactly.
We went down to like Vero Beach in Florida and
other areas down there, Melbourne, stuff like that. And in
my head I can imagine driving to Florida with my family,
and you said Vegas. I lived there for a while
(16:24):
and it's a thirty hour drive, which I guess, if
I think about it is only six hours longer than
what I have to drive to Florida a lot of
the time. And never in a million years would I
ever consider driving to Las Vegas for spring break. But
that's essentially what we're all doing when we make it
trip to Florida.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Well, and the other thing, though, is you're not dodging
tornadoes heaving through Tornado Alley to Vegas. But here's some
interesting and this is what I know is probably a
big part of your conversation. The average plane ticket right
now is almost three hundred dollars per person. They're saying
that there's going to be one hundred and seventy three
million passengers from March to the end of April. And
(17:01):
I'm super sorry to be the pure of bad news.
Today is the busiest and most expensive day to fly
the entire.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Break, and you know that everybody's going anywhere. Just immediately
was like, oh, the Wednesday, that's the day you do it.
It'll be cheack.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Well.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
But and so here's the other way.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I look at it though, when we were traveling with
younger kids, which is why I brought it up. Depending
on the age of your kids, it's a big difference.
I don't know I will ever fly again with car seats.
That is the worst and it's very stressful in having
to check them and then hope that they don't come
back damaged. That was my husband's big thing. He almost
(17:38):
did drive us to Florida. He's a very big proponent
of driving. He loves it. He is all about it.
But you also have to remember we're in Michigan, and
that means you have to either drive through Indiana or Ohio,
which might just be the end of you.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
It's accurate, I you know you avoid them at all cautions.
Can you give me.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Sixty mile an hour speed limits on your expressway?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Why do you have stoplights in the middle of the expressway.
It makes no sense to me. In Ohio, there's just
no getting through it. One end all of seventy five
and the other end of seventy five only good things
coming out of Ohio.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
So I'm wondering what your family is doing. If you
are leaving for spring break, are you flying or are
you driving? Six one six four five eight one oh
five seven send us a talk back on our iHeartRadio app.
I will report at least the Gerald R. Ford International Airport.
It looks like all arrivals are on time and you're
(18:33):
only looking at a couple delays to Chicago. But keep
an eye out because this severe weather unfortunately might be
impacting your travel later today too. Like I said, I
didn't want to be a buzz kill, but I'm just
here to report things that's going to help you and
your family stay intact for whatever travel you have planned.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Its time on a fun point, seah A good morning
to you. It's Mac and Schmidty. And you know, occasionally
we all wonder how we're doing as parents. Well, you're
probably doing okay, and we try and make you feel
a little better about your skills with our Oh schmitty,
my daughter on the cusp of being a teenager just
turned twelve years old. Tween yes, and but you know what,
(19:14):
I feel like she's advanced when it comes to parental embarrassment. Schmidty,
And I thought I was doing something kind of funny
and kind of sweet. So in our house before they
leave every day for school or when they're getting ready
to go out of the weekend, we just say this
stupid phrase, that's how are your chick lits and pits?
Your pits and chicklets? Okay, teeth in our pits? You
(19:37):
put on the odor? And did you brush your teeth right? Like?
These are the things that I have to ask my
kids now all the time. So yeah, we just did.
We say it in our house. And so last week
we had parent teacher conferences and one of the cool
things that they do, and I like this, They've been
doing it for years at my kids schools is they
allow you to leave a note for your kid that
they will get when they're in class. And so I'm
(19:59):
just being the stupid that I am trying to be
funny and I just right down there, did you check
your chicklets and your pets?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
You did not.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I can smell you from work, Love you, honey, see you?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Oh you really thought that was a good idea. Didn't
you Wow?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I thought, Wow, cute it'd be folks see that. That's
how it would take right up until the boy that
sits next to her at there because they all sit
in groups of four. Yeah, and that boy next to
her goes your pets. Your dad can smell you. You
wear deodorant is the word that he said. I'm like
in my head, I'm like, I hope somebody's telling that
(20:35):
kid about deodorant.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
But so here's the new bit we'll be starting next Wednesday.
Should you or should you not?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Mac?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
And I'm gonna guess ninety eight percent of the time
you should not.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
You know, I would appreciated that. Shiminy, my ten year
old son would have appreciated that. He would have laughed
at Dad for sure.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Keep saying that to yourself.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
It's the celebrities gup on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Well, we've been reliving just so many of his famous
and incredibly brilliant roles throughout the morning. Following the passing
of actor Val Kilmer, star of movies like Top Gun,
The Doors, Batman Forever in Tombstone, passing away yesterday at
the age of sixty five. The news was confirmed by
his daughter Mercedes, saying her dad died of pneumonia and
(21:28):
I thought this was really cool. You remember, his last
official film would have been twenty twenty two's Top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
The Navy Eat Maverick, The Kid Eat Maverick. That's why
I fought for you. That's why you're still here.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
It's not often you see a branch of the military
paying tribute to a Hollywood icon, but the US Naval
Institute posting Rip actor Val Kilmer. In addition to his
appearances in Batman, Forever and Tombstone, Kilmer perhaps was best
known for his role as Tom Iceman in Top Gun,
his final film, Top Gun Maverick in twenty twenty two.
(22:11):
The Navy says that was a huge reason that there
was renewed interest in joining the military, and they've always
been very, very thankful to those movies.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
It's an interesting thought. I guess I just didn't realize
the recruiting efforts that do come out of something like that.
But when you make some aviaight or sunglasses and a
fighter jet look that cool, people are going to want.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
To do it.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
That's really sad stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Again Just sixty five Fox Sports host Nick Wright claims
his friendship with Travis Kelcey has seriously deteriorated ever since
he started dating Taylor Swift, so this has gone viral.
It all stems from last week's New Heights podcast. That's
where Travis and his brother Jason host together and they
(22:52):
kind of gave a shout out to Nick. On his
most recent podcast episode, What's Right with Nick Wright, he said,
this is it's very surprising because the two haven't spoken
in quite a while.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
So here's the thing. Trav and I have not like
talked talked since he's been serious with Taylor Swift. Don't
want to bother him during the year, and then last
offseason he was traveling the world with Taylor. So't I
haven't talked to trave in a while, so appreciate the
shout out on you know, one of the world's most
(23:23):
popular podcasts.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
He does say, yeah, I haven't really spoken to him
since he's become this super celebrity. He brings up the
Chiefs Parade where they were going to meet up, and
then of course that tragic shooting happened, but says, listen,
name a time and a place I'd love to come
on your pod and like try to be friends again,
but so far it's been pretty quiet.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
This feels like the wrong way to go about it.
I can just tell you is like another guy like
you airing out your grievances in public. Like this is
the last thing I'd want to let's come on it podcast.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
I just don't do that.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I feel like I love this and sign me up
take all my money. Dolly Pardon is dropping some new denim.
Her country Glam Style is coming to Good American. This
is the denim brand launched by Chloe Kardashian and Emma Gredy.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Oh. People are super excited about this, She tells People Magazine.
It was a no brainer to collaborate with Chloe and
Emma from Good American, and then with a great name

Speaker 2 (25:33):
I was gonna say, you know, I have gone through
at least a half a dozen of those stupid neck
pillow schmitty. I don't know if I'm always leaving them
on the plane, but I'm always leaving them somewhere you're yours.

to comedian Nicki Glazer on Star one oh five point seven.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Want to in Star? Who's this? Nicole from today? Right?
Nick Cole? One hundred women were asked to name something
a person might leave behind after getting off an airplane.
What do you think? Their top answer was, Nicole, a book?
Oh yeah, you leave the reading material behind. It would
be a book. Now. I was gonna say magazines were
(26:22):
always something that I'd feel like people would leave on
planes for the next person to use. But nobody reads
magazines anymore. Right, So book, though, is the number three
most common answer. I'm sorry, cold, thanks, Hi, Star. Who's
this Jennifer? Jennifer, I just got a good guest from Nicole.
When one hundred women were asked to name something a
person might leave behind when they exit a plane, she
(26:44):
said they're reading material a book, and that was the
number three most common answer, but not the top one.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
What do you think it is, Jennifer, all about their
carry on?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
How about their carry on? Yeah, of all the things
you could leave behind, that's the one you want to
leave on the plane the least, and that's why it's
the top answer. Awful. Yeah, You've got tickets to go
see Nikki Glazier this may over at Soaring Eagle Cassino Resorts.
She is ridiculously funny. You're gonna have a great time.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Perfect.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yeah, it was carry on luggage, followed by your purse
you're reading material, and then pillows and trash rounding out
those top answers. I did this one today because I'm
jealous of everybody flying today off to go on fantastic
spring break adventures. But safe travels to you all the same,
big time, right, Jennifer, Congrats, enjoy Nicki Glazier will do
it again tomorrow eight fifteen. Battle of the Sexies right
(27:34):
here on stuff, Sam on it to you. It's Mack
and Schmidty and I want to talk to you about
embarrassing black style or blackmail style material that your parents
gathered on you as a child.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I don't think they knew at the time, right, Like
they were just very proud and now it's horribly embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I bring this up actually because I mentioned my son
Connor and a bunch of his friends all did a
lip sync battle last night with their and it's so
much fun. I mean it's literally like sixty seventy kids
all doing these ridiculous lip syncs with props and everything else.
Like my son had a faux hawk on and a
massive gold chain sunglasses. I mean, he and his buddies
(28:14):
had a blast with it. And as I'm talking to
other parents, they're like, oh, there's so much blackmail material here,
talking about like later in life, college graduations and stuff
like that, bringing it out. And I feel like that
is such a huge difference from when you and I
were younger and now our kids, because literally our kids
have everything on video. Nothing is going to stand out
(28:36):
that significantly. I feel like it's super embarrassing because there's
gonna be so much content of our kids that it
just won't have that same embarrassing sting. I don't know
that your family.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Has some pretty good ones. I have in a folder
all on its own and my Google photos.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
This is good mommy right there, for sure. But it
made me think about when your parents were out there
and maybe they had their first camquarder they ever had.
Maybe it was a video they got the school of
one of your performances. But chances are you did something
that you felt kind of embarrassed about, and it just
keeps on getting brought back out, whether it's at reunion's, weddings,
the birth of new children, anytime somebody happens to bring
(29:13):
up spandex. In my case, I know that my wife
is like, do you have that picture of you in
the lime green and fluorescent orange handy with a paper
mache flower on my head doing the Waltz of the
Flowers a ballet dance in a group of all girls
except for me and one other boy.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Because there's got to be pictures.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
There's no way to watch VHS's anymore, which is the
way my parents took everything with the giant camera that
you had to sit on your shoulder.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yes, like there's no way to see that.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
We actually had to like that. We got the mini
one at one point in time, Novan, where you had
to stick the little VHS inside of the mill.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
We have like more TV eight looking equipment until like
two thousand and ten, and it's never a video or
a picture every single time. It's just a verbal story
because for like nine years I used to pray ail
Mary full of grass instead of grace, and it comes
up every single time we pray at a holiday.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Honestly, I'd have such a good time doing the Rosary
sitting next year because I would just.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Say, don't Mary full of grass?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Ail Mary full of grass? I asked this I'm Facebook
and Aaron admitted that they recorded us using a quote
unquote I'm his dear call and put water in It
made us blow just so water would come shooting out
directly into your face. Look like a bent up French
horn designed to basically pray pranks on your children.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
With you, Yeah, Dana's lived all of our lives. If
you do not have a picture or a video of
you in full headgear, you didn't obviously have braces.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Share that blackmail moment with us what you've got online
on Facebook and Instagram right now at West Michigan.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Star sometime does that get a good faling?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Well, definitely a rainy, dreary morning that we're going to
look to drop a little sunshine into you right now.
Feeling good on Star? What's going on? Schmidni Well?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Every year I love this.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Would TV take submissions for a contest they run called
Remarkable Women of West Michigan, and from those nominations throughout
the entire year, they have one big winner, your Remarkable.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Woman of West Michigan.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
And I cannot think of someone more deserving this year
than a very very surprised Chef Jenna, who learned about
this yesterday.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Chef Jenna, you are Wood TVs West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Remarkable Woman of the Year.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Congratulations. I just feel really honored and surprised and wow,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
She does so much in the community, besides owning a
Moore Tratoria Italiana over on Alpine. We know her best
is Chef Jenna. She does amazing work through her nonprofit
Food Hugs. She has won a one thousand dollars donation
to her beautiful charity, Food Hugs, and also gets a
trip to LA And I just wanted to spotlight this
(32:07):
because she very very rarely ever asks for attention with
everything that she does. She's just one of those incredible
humans and we're lucky enough to have her right here
in West Michigan.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
You're not kidding. It has been just given back, especially
to those service industry workers. And restaurant owners for the
last several years in a big way.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
She gets it better than anyone.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Love it all right TikTok user Catalina or on TikTok
Catalina Most Good Gina. She shared this heartwarming video and
I think it's something that people could relate to. I
know it's true for you, Shmitti when you go to
a mechanic, especially one that you don't know very well,
if you feel like they're just talking in a different
language to you, and that maybe the insecurity that comes
with that feels like you're getting ripped off. Well, her
(32:50):
and her Uber driver actually had a conversation about that
where he kind of said, look, you know, these mechanics
can sometimes be really rude to women and you know,
cards and for things they don't really need. And that's
when they came up with an idea. I know how
these guys are. That's not tell them you're my dad. Okay,
(33:10):
that's right, tell him you're my dad. Uber driver and
this guy took it upon himself to fully take on
the dad broll. We're talking hands on hips, walking around
the car, inspecting it just like you might imagine your
dad would and even turning down some of those extra
services that were being suggested. Transmission mounts.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Oh the mount engine moves back and forth.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
Okay, okay, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Don't worry about it. You keeping on eyeing to be
doing next time when you do change, pay for the
old change and let's go.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Okay, come on, follow me, follow me.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Okay, this very nice.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I pretended to be your dad through the entire process
and even got her out of having to tell this guy, no,
I don't need any of that stuff right now. It's
very cool. I'm about the video for you can check
it out yourself. Always here to provide something to get
you feeling good each and every morning, six forty five
and nine twenty here on Star one oh five point
seven Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekday, starting at
