Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the City that changes the world, peers Rose with
three things you need to know for your Thursday Rose,
which you got for us. So, the University of Maryland
has announced that Kermit the Frog will give this year's
speech a class of twenty twenty five. The announcement video
was super cute, very well done. But Mubbet's creator, Jim Henson,

(00:22):
graduated from Maryland in nineteen sixty with a degree in
home economics, so it's a very cool I feel like
full circle moment. Yeah, the speech is scheduled for May twenty. First,
you can guarantee it will be all over social media
because Kermit the Frog is ethics. That's so cool. He's
an icon. Yeah. So obviously it's nuts opening day that
the Washington Nationals kick off their twentieth anniversary season against

(00:43):
the Philadelphia Phillies, and the MPD is advising fans about
several road closures, so just be aware of that. Some
other things you need to know for the game. Bags
must be clear. I know, I'm always the person who's
googling can I bring a bag into the stadium? So
bags must be clear. There are very limited exceptions, but
they need to be able to see what's inside your back,

(01:04):
or it will not be permitted. You will be directed
to use a locker or I guess if you want
to go put it back in your car, whatever, but
or just don't bring it back. That makes it so
much easier. There's also going to be a flyover by
four F sixteen jets from being one hundred and twenty
first Fighter Squadron, so do not be alarmed when you
hear that. And there's going to be a special tribute
to local first responders who played a heroic role during

(01:26):
the January during January's tragic crash outside of DCA, So
it's going to be a really, really awesome day. And
DC's cherry blossoms they haven't officially reached peak bloom, however,
there are many trees near the MLK Memorial that have
already hit peak bloom, so National Park Service doesn't declare
the peak bloom until seventy percent of the trees are open.

(01:48):
That is predicted to be happening between tomorrow and Monday,
so make your plans for that as well. I'm roz.
Those are the three things you need to know for
the day. Thank you, Rose, You're welcome, Intern John in
your morning show an iHeartRadio
