1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 2: Chanuka was last week right finished this past weekend. Chanuka 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: of course the pronunciation that Smokey Rebinson gave it, which 5 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: is just about the best thing to me that has 6 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 2: happened in the last few years when it comes to 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 2: the holidays. But with Hanikah over, it's now it's Christmas 8 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 2: and Kwansa. Christmas is the day after tomorrow, and the 9 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: problem is getting from here to there. If you have 10 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 2: Christmas plans. We have massive travel planned around southern California. 11 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: We are having to get on the road and we 12 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: have to, you know, balance the pies and the cakes 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 2: and you know travel as so so do so many 14 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: and the reality is the travel is probably going to 15 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: be one of the things that is most discouraged. Joe 16 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: Sarart from the National Weather Service is an honest to 17 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 2: goodness meteorologist. He's not just some guy who's standing up 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 2: there in front of a map and faking it. He 19 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: really knows his stuff. And Joe, how bad is it 20 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: going to be? 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 3: Well, Mark, it looks like we're going to have a 22 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 3: blockbuster a winter shore move into the area. It looks 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 3: like later tonight and tomorrow with a lot of wind 24 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 3: and rain, very heavy rain at times. We're looking at 25 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: rainfall rates sixtence one and a quarter inches over the 26 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 3: lower elevations, possibly up to one and a half inches 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 3: an hour in the higher elevation. So we have the 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 3: high intens of the rainfall will produce widespread urban flooding, 29 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 3: small river and stream flooding, rock slides, mudslides, debris flows 30 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: out of recent burn areas, So we have the whole 31 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: gamut of effects from the heavy rain. In addition, we 32 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 3: have powerful winds moving in too, with wind gusts of 33 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 3: possibly up to forty five to fifty five miles hour 34 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 3: for the coast and valleys, and possibly up to sixty 35 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: to eighty miles an hour in the mountains. So we 36 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 3: are expecting widespread damage from the winds and power outages 37 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 3: and that sort of thing. So in addition to the rain, 38 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: that could be like I said, power outages. So there's 39 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 3: a lot of issues going on with this well, a 40 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 3: lot of impacts, and so we advise folks if they 41 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 3: can stay home tomorrow, to stay home. 42 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, at least tomorrow, is you know, Christmas Eve, so 43 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: you'd think maybe, but a lot of last minute stuff 44 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: is done. We have to go to a Christmas Eve thing, 45 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: and then we have a Christmas Day thing. So I 46 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: want to ask you about one specific aspect of this storm. 47 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 2: And I was seeing this on social media. People were 48 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: asking me about it, and I wonder if you could 49 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 2: just discuss it, meaning just give me a second on it. 50 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 2: It's warm out right now. It's warmer, people are saying 51 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: than they would expect in a winter storm. Can you 52 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: describe sort of the aspects of this that make it 53 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: warm right now and how that may change. 54 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole idea of the warmth is that the 55 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: air flow is coming in from the south, and so 56 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 3: we have a lot of subtropical moisture moving into the area. 57 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 3: And with that subtropical moisture comes a rather mild air mass. 58 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 3: So we're not expecting to be terribly cold, you know, 59 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 3: still below normal temperatures for this time of year for 60 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: our area, like in the low sixties probably during the day, 61 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 3: but it looks like it'll be rather mild even up 62 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 3: into the mountains. So the ski resorts are not expecting 63 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: any any snow from this first system. That's coming in tomorrow. 64 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: So that's the whole idea, is the southerly flow and 65 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: the warm air mass, and the. 66 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: Warm area carries more moisture, doesn't a joserar than than 67 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: colder air. 68 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: Typically absolutely, So the warm of the air mass, the 69 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 3: more moisture it can hold. And with this subtropical air mass, 70 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: we are expecting well above normal amounts of moisture available 71 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: to this storm system. And so with the powerful winds 72 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 3: and the high moisture content, that will help us to 73 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: produce that high intensity rainfall today I described earlier Joe. 74 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: Surrard, I like to ask the questions that nobody asks. 75 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: You may have noticed this about me, and I want 76 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: to ask you a question that probably no one's asking you, 77 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 2: and that is when is it all going to be over? 78 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 3: Well, it looks like we're going to have more showers 79 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 3: with additional cumulating rain, really a significant rain even on 80 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 3: Christmas Day into Friday with the thunderstorms and whatnot, so 81 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 3: additional winds, and then finally it looks like by Friday 82 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 3: night into Saturday we should start to dry out. This 83 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 3: system will move away. We are expecting some northeast offshore 84 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 3: winds to develop later in the weekend at early next week, 85 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 3: so we should be mostly clear and dry by early 86 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 3: next week. 87 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: Wow, early next week is when we're going to be 88 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 2: clear and dry. Man, what a tough holiday season. Wow well, Joey, 89 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,239 Speaker 2: so appreciate you taking time. I know it's extremely busy 90 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: time for you guys over there. Thank you very much much. 91 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 2: All the best in the National Weather Service. I mean, 92 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 2: this is where all the information comes from that we 93 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: see in all of these different media outlets, and we 94 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: so appreciate the work you do day in and day out. 95 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 3: Thank you, Joe Well, thank you, my pleasure. 96 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 2: Joe, Saraart, everybody from the National Weather Service. Wow, I am. 97 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 2: It's pretty much an ongoing blast until next week. Friday. 98 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: I don't need to tell you Mark Friday is my birthday. 99 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 2: I didn't know that. Yeah, so wall to wall festiveness. 100 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: What are we doing right now? We have no plan? 101 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: I see, kind of low key. I'll tell you what happened. 102 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: This is the truth. I was trying to plan something 103 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 2: but really hadn't planned anything, but just sort of thinking 104 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: about it, maybe having a dinner. And one of the 105 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 2: problems with having your birthday the day after Christmas is 106 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 2: that no one's around. Everybody's kind of you know, they're 107 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: celebrating somewhere else. I get it. So when you're a kid, 108 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: you know, it's like your gift oriented. When you're an adult, 109 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: you just want to get people together. But it's still 110 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: a huge ripoff. Everybody who has a birthday around Christmas 111 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: gets when we say GYP, we all carry. I don't 112 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 2: think you really can. Okay, I take that back, Okay, 113 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: but they they it's true those of us who have 114 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 2: those birthdays around the holidays, particularly after Christmas in my case, 115 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 2: and people have birthdays on Christmas, et cetera, carry a 116 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: little bit of an emotional resentment. I'm guessing. I mean 117 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: it might be latent, you know, I don't think it's 118 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 2: in any kind of outward way, but you know, it's 119 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 2: just there year after year. But anyway, here's what happened. 120 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: So guys coming in from the East Coast. He's like 121 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: this friend of ours, and he's a friend of a 122 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 2: lot of friends of ours, and he said, I'm having 123 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: a dinner at this big steakhouse and this big you know, 124 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: it's going to be a big, swanky dinner, and I 125 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 2: want you all on this. And they're like, nine people 126 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 2: on the thread, I want you all to come, and 127 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: I was like, oh gosh, I mean it's like that 128 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 2: was gonna be my birthday dinner. And I don't know. 129 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: I don't want to tell that. You know, he's so 130 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: generous to include me. Maybe I'll just do the birthday 131 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: dinner the next night or something, you know. So somebody 132 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: on the thread said, hey, you know it's Mark's birthday 133 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 2: the twenty sixth, and he said on the thread, no problem, 134 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: We'll drink a toast to Mark's birthday. So I thought, okay, 135 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 2: I guess, but it's sort of weird because you're wanting 136 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: to go to this thing, but you're also wanting to 137 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: have a birthday dinner. You're no afterthoughts, sir. I am 138 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: this year. I am this year. 139 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: I wouldn't tolerate that if I were now listen. I 140 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: don't know how meticulously my conception was planned. I have 141 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: a feeling not very much at all. But my birthday 142 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: is in June, so the year's nice and spaced out 143 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: when it comes to gifts, so you deserve a redo. Yeah, 144 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: it's so great June, it really is. 145 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: But there is a special bond all of you who 146 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 2: have birthdays around this time of year. There's a special 147 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: bond we all have. It really is true. I find 148 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: the December birthday people are a special crew. So if 149 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: you have a birthday around this time of year, happy birthday. 150 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: And yes, we share our celebration with a much bigger celebration, 151 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: but it is nonetheless a celebration, and you're all seething 152 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: with anger and resentment. Yeah, it is something that's built 153 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: up over the decades, and this year in southern California, 154 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: it will be rainy and nasty. 155 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 4: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI 156 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 4: Am six forty. 157 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 2: We're kind of dipping into the Christmas music today.

Metcalf goes over to the 326 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: spectator and it looks like he strikes him with his 327 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 2: right hand and the NFL gave him a two game 328 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 2: suspension because of that. 329 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 9: It's coal in the stocking this year for Pittsburgh Steelers 330 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 9: star DK Medcalf, the wide receiver, has been suspended for 331 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 9: the two final regular season games after what the NFL 332 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 9: says was initiating a physical confrontation with a fan. 333 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 2: That's it right there. Now. I have to say this though, 334 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: and this is why I mentioned, you know, being dogged 335 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 2: by a fan. I feel as though the fans also 336 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: have some responsibility not to be total. 337 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: Don't you wonder though, if athletes are a little thinner 338 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: skinned now because that used to be part of the deal, 339 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: that's through a game. That's true, two tome the athletes. Yeah, no, 340 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: it's absolutely true. I mean you'd think they wouldn't be 341 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: because there's so much more money involved. I mean, in 342 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: the old days, the athletes didn't get the kind of money. 343 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 2: You know. This suspension could cost him half a million dollars. 344 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 2: It's it's insane, just a suspension, the two game suspension, 345 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 2: and it could cost him half a million dollars. 346 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 9: It happened during Sunday's win over the Detroit Lines. The 347 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 9: Detroit Free Press reporting the fan used a racial slur 348 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 9: toward Metcalf and also made a derogatory comment about his mother. 349 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 9: The fan denies that. 350 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: And I'm sorry. If that was demonstrably true, then I 351 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 2: think the fan should should suffer as well. I don't 352 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 2: think you should be able to shout anything at these athletes, 353 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 2: and maybe, look, maybe that's I don't know. To me, 354 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 2: it's it's also a question that people around you, and 355 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 2: I don't think you should be allowed to shout this 356 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 2: stuff because you've got kids at the game, and so 357 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe I don't. I'm not looking to 358 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 2: make this an absolutely sanitized environment, but I'm also not 359 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 2: looking for anything to be said at any time. It 360 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 2: just seems as though it can destroy what could be 361 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 2: a great spectators for The. 362 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 9: Fan used a racial slur toward Metcalf and also made 363 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 9: a derogatory comment about his mother. The fan denies that 364 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 9: through his lawyer. Now Metcalf is planning to appeal his suspension. 365 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 9: Rina Roy has the latest. 366 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 2: I mean, disparaging comments about the mother are the pretty 367 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: rich tradition of that. I mean, I'm just saying that 368 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 2: wouldn't bother me so much if i'm you know, I mean, 369 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 2: I recall some shots at my mom growing up. I 370 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 2: mean it was kind of school yard stuff. Oh your 371 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 2: mother jokes are pro forma. But we don't want our 372 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 2: games turned into clan So that's where you draw the line. 373 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: That's what I mean with the racial stuff, I can 374 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 2: you know, and anything even approaching that Perry. 375 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 10: The NFL says that DK Metcalf has been suspended for 376 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 10: two games without pay for initiating a physical confrontation with 377 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 10: a fan during Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. And 378 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 10: take a look at this video. You can see Metcalf 379 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 10: approaching a fan who's wearing a blue wig in the 380 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 10: front row at Ford Field. You see him grab him 381 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 10: by this shirt and then sort. 382 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: Of I don't think blue wig should be allowed either, 383 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 2: as long as we're making some changes, I just thank. 384 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 10: You, you know, blue wig in the front row at. 385 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: In the front row. He's wearing a blue wig. I 386 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 2: mean that, I'm just saying, you know, you're flirting with disasters. 387 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 10: Blue wig in the front row at Ford Field. You 388 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 10: see him grab him by this shirt and then sort 389 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 10: of swipe upward. The NFL saying Metcalf's actions violate league policy, 390 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 10: which specifies that players may not enter the stands or 391 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 10: otherwise confront fans at any time on game day. And 392 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 10: if a player makes uncess sery physical contact with a 393 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 10: fan in any way that constitutes unsportsmanlike conduct or presents 394 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 10: crowd control issues and or risk of injury, he will 395 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 10: be held accountable. Now, Metcalf will be eligible to return 396 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 10: to the Steelers active roster on Monday, January fifth. 397 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 2: Also, he can appeal it. I mean, he can appeal 398 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 2: the judgment. But he signed a four year dealer was 399 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty two million dollars with the Steelers. 400 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 2: He was traded from the Seahawks. That was he was 401 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 2: a star with the Seahawks. Anyway, guys, you make a 402 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 2: lot of money, jerks sadly some answers, and you just 403 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 2: have to let it go. And Metcalf, as I say, 404 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 2: two game suspension it'll cost him just over half a 405 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 2: million dollars.

So I leave the conference room. 482 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 2: I go two doors down where the doctor's sitting and 483 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 2: he wants to show me the scan and I'm thinking, no, 484 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 2: that's probably not a good thing. I just don't. He said, 485 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 2: we've spotted a couple of things on your lungs, these spots, 486 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 2: and we don't think they're anything, but we want to 487 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 2: make you aware of them, and we think you should 488 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 2: watch them and come back in six months. I'm thinking, 489 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 2: oh my god, this is exactly I mean. Either this 490 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 2: is a great thing because I've caught something early, or 491 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 2: it's a horrible thing because what happens. He's told you 492 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 2: it's nothing, But for six months you're all anxiety written 493 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 2: about this. I'm telling you, I thought about this all 494 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 2: the time. So six months later, I go down there 495 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: to the same place, only this time I don't have 496 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 2: conway with me because I have to go in. They 497 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: put me back in the tube. I go meet with 498 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 2: the doctor, same doctor, and he says, now, it doesn't 499 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: look like they've grown much at all. This is probably nothing, 500 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 2: but let's meet again in another six months. I'm like, wow, 501 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: this is horrible. This anxiety that I've had for the 502 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 2: last six months, I'm gonna have it for the next 503 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 2: six months. I go back down six months later, same doctor, 504 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: same place. They put me into the tube. I meet 505 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 2: with the doctor again. He goes just it's ever so slightly, 506 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 2: but we don't think there's anything here, but we think 507 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 2: you should keep an eye on this. In one more 508 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 2: scan in a another six months and I went back. 509 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 2: Everything was fine. That was a few years ago. I'm 510 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 2: hoping everything is still fine. But that was the lunch 511 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: that was adjacent to the cat scan that cost me 512 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 2: two years of worrying, while Conway, of course, because everything 513 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 2: with Conway just works out, got the clean bill of health. 514 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 2: That is the story of the cat scan gone bad. 515 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 2: And I'm telling you I should have gone on with my 516 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 2: first instinct, which was I'll see you afterward, I'll meet 517 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 2: you for lunch, and never have met anybody down there 518 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 2: or gone. But not to be anyway. We're alive to 519 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 2: tell the story, which is the important thing.
