Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is West Michigan's morning news on Wood Radio. Steve, Kelly, Brett, Pikita.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
That's Adam Rocho.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
It is Tuesday, December twenty third, twenty twenty five. Schmitty's asleep.
Let's get to today's top five, Adam. Where does it start?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Well, we start off with an update a couple weeks ago, Steve,
I think you did the story of the black bear
underneath a California man's home.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, they have caught a bear, but the wrong one.
DNR set out traps with different bits in it and whatnot,
ended up catching the wrong bear. They were able to
tell because the bear they caught already had a tag
on it, and the bear under this guy's house did not.
So he still has a five hundred pound bear under
his home. It's a good sized bear. How do they know,
(00:46):
by the way that he doesn't have a tag all?
The one under the house? Yeah, I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Who went down to inspect that.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
They looked and they said this is a completely different bear.
So if I were this guy, i'd move. There's too
many bears around. Hi.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah, the house is tiny and I don't know how
the thing gun in. It's one of those little basement
windows in an older house. Hmm, ours leaked in the
old house, Just so you know. An animal protection officer
at number four in the list in Texas came to
the rescue of a beaver that had apparently been trapped
inside a reservoir for several days. Austin Animal Services. You
(01:17):
have no idea what you're going to run into when
you're with Austin Animal Services. It's set on social media
that an officer responded to a water treatment facility in Austin.
That's when they found the beaver swimming in the reservoir.
Wah oh, yeah, I took a wrong term at Albuquerque.
When he arrived, it was clear that the beaver was exhausted.
(01:39):
There was only a small ledge to rest on. He'd
been likely swimming for several days. That's when the officer
got in and helped. Boy.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Am I glad to see you?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, to exchange to nod he was released in there
you go.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I've been swimming for Where have you guys been in?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I think of Andy Dufree Yeah, exactly from Shawshank Redemption.
It's kind of the same thing. Yeah, I'll explain that
to you later.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, what you're talking about Yeah, you don't want the explanation.
But anyways, NFL news coming down from yesterday as expected. Now,
what was funny is I was at this game and
didn't see this happen. I saw fans talking about it
on their phones and getting video from people like we did.
But Steelers wide receiver DJ Metcalf has been now suspended
two games without pay by the NFL quote for conduct
(02:33):
detrimental to the NFL for initiating a physical confrontation with
a fan unquote that was during Sunday's game at Ford Field.
Metcalf plans to appeal the suspension. A source told ESPN's
Adam Schefter. It's going to cost him a little over
five hundred and fifty five thousand dollars. By the way,
yeah smokes now. Ryan Kennedy, the Detroit Lions fan involved
(02:54):
in the altercation with Metcalf on Sunday, denied he used
a racial slur or talked about his mom. But what
there is this is what's creepy a situation because Metcalf,
when he played for Seattle, came to ford Field in
twenty twenty two, twenty three, and twenty four and he
reported Kennedy to Seattle team security in the past, so
(03:14):
there was a history of these two guys interest.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
They got beef.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, and so now this guy's lawyered up, of course,
and we'll see what happens. But two games would take
him out of the rest of the regular season. Remember
Pittsburgh battling for that AFC North Division title and they
play Baltimore at the end of the year, the team
that's trying to chase them down.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
So well, sticking at the NFL number two quarterbacks have
been given these crazy lineman gifts every year. It seems
like they want to just one up each other. If
you remember last year, Brock Purty gave his whole O
line Toyota trucks. Well, this year, Purdy actually gave trucks
to nine different families and the families were either veteran
families or families with kids fighting pediatric diseases. So I
(03:55):
thought that that was really cool. With some other QB
gifts this year, Jared Goff gave all of his line
men luxury golf carts. Patrick Mahomes gave his lineman forty
thousand dollars watches and an indoor golf simulator, and Josh
Allen gave his O line a quarter cow and an
infrared steak serer.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
An infrared steak erer.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, and a quarter cow. Man. These guys got the beef.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Well, if you want your limeman, nice and junkie if
you're a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Finally, at number one of the lists, pedestrians in christ Church,
New Zealand were left scratching their heads by a series
of seemingly official signs with messages including this area is
slightly haunted, but manageable. The signs, posted in various locations
around the city initially appear to be official postings from
(04:47):
the local city council, but a closer examination reveals the
words christ Church City confusion at the bottom. One of
the signs reads don't that's my face? So if there's
any prankster listening and you want to put a couple
of those around Grand Rapids, we would cover that as
a news story.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
What is that supposed to me?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, it's a it's a no for me dog
