Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
When you need to know she's got you.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's three things with tip on kiss when I was seven, One.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Hi, Good morning, Happy Friday. The Savannah Bananas are coming
to Cincinnati, and I have a feeling that there's a
very good chance you know what I'm talking about. But
just in case you have no idea what the Savannah
Bananas are. It's where baseball and entertainment intersect. And these
tickets are sometimes harder to get than like Super Bowl tickets.

(00:31):
I'm not kidding. June thirteenth and fourteenth of next summer,
you can put your name in the Savannah and Banana
lottery right now. You'll have from today through November one
to get your name in the lottery at the Savannah
Bananas dot com slash tickets. This place Great America will
sell out. It will look like the World Series in there.

(00:51):
That's how many people will show up for this. It's
such a cool it's so cool. It was like a
dream turned into into it was a dream come true
turned into like this massive business and it's very cool,
very very cool, and we're honored to have them here
in Cincinnati. I'm going to try to get Michael Anderson
of the Reds on the show to chat them out.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
It a little bit all right.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Second, in three things you need to know this morning
in the same vein with the Reds. Rumors are hasn't
been officially announced yet that Terry Francona is going to
replace David Bell. Some facts about Terry Francona. First of all,
he was a former Cincinnati Red back in the eighties
and when he played, he played during the time where

(01:33):
Pete Rose managed the team, So I thought that was cool.
I am connected to Terry Francona because he's the one
that helped the Red Sox win their first World Series
in two thousand and four and break the curse, helped
them win a four and seven. That was Terry Francona.
Then he goes over to Cleveland in twenty sixteen tries

(01:55):
to help them win. They lose in the World Series,
but at least he got him there, so it would
be very very cool. I'm going to play a clip
and I'll explain why after this is Marty and Terry
Francona doing a Chattanooga Minor League game.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Kerry, we were talking last night and you joke about
the career that you spent a ten year career that
should have been seven and this type of thing. You're
the most self deprecating guy I've ever been around, I think,
and I really have to wonder, and Joe touched on it.
You suffered two serious knee injuries, one that came relatively
quick in your big league career when you first came

(02:33):
up with Montreal, which we were talking, Joe and I
going back to the hotel after the game last night,
what might have been for you had you not suffered
that first knee injury, Hail.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Marty, in all honesty, when I suffered that first injury
in nineteen eighty two, my goals sort of changed all
of a sudden. You know, I come out of college
and I'm kind of a hot shot player, a little
bit cocky.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
So it would be very cool. By the way, the
reason why they were broadcasting a mind League game on
seven hundred WLW, home of our Reds here my sister's station,
is because that was during the Major League Baseball Strike,
and that's what Michael Jordan was playing on that team.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Very cool.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
When there's more on that, we're an official announcement, I'll
have it for it. Terry Francona, all right, and then
lastly in three Things, we had talked about the dock
strike earlier in the week when my friend was at
the Kroger at six am and Fort Mitchell because she
the family was afraid they were gonna run out of items.
That's been settled as of right now. The US Maritime
Alliance and the dock workers have come to a short

(03:32):
term agreement until January fifteenth so that they have time
to negotiate. This will mean through the holidays we won't
run into a nightmare disaster. You know, most of the
people on the Gulf Coast and the East Coast are
getting paid way less than the West Coast, and that's
what they want to solve, all right. That is three
Things for Friday. Coming up next for commercial free on

(03:53):
Kiss
