3 Things: Paycor Renovation Plans Are Approved

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
When you need to know she's got you. It's three
things with tip.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Good morning, which a famous musician will have a horse
in the Kentucky Derby this weekend.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Give me a hot sec Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
We're just before eight o'clock on the final date of April.
Stunning outside right now. Temperatures fairly cool this week with sunshine,
but then scattered rain kind of sprinkles in throughout the afternoons.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Over the next couple of days.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Still kind of tracking the weather for Flying Pig weekend,
it will definitely be on.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
The cooler side, all right.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Before we get to horsing horse racing, rather, let's start
off with the Bengals stadium. Yesterday, Dennis Streehouse here announcing
that they've reached agreement on some of these pay course
stadium upgrades to the tune of one hundred and eighty
five million in the first phase, and the NFL and
the Bengals will pick up the price tag for the
two thirds of that.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
I am in favor of this because it helps us
not only do these improve men's and upgrades, but it
also helps us reduce the burden on the taxpayers. And
so I think this is again a new look for us.
It's unprecedented. The n NFL has never done this before,
and the team is contributed in a way they've never
done before.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
So we still need to sign the lease. Okay, that
has to happen, right. I think this is kind of
an in good faith thing. Taxpayers will pick up sixty
five million from sales tax, So anytime you buy something
in Hamilton County that has sales tax, like a car,
that'll go towards the renovations, which will kick off in
January of twenty twenty six. I talked about how Cincinnati

(01:36):
did not fall on the list of dirtiest cities in
the US yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
This is a conversation we had yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
But a lot of the cities that Bengals residents go
to visit and watch games did fall on the list.
So it's nice that we're upgrading the stadium and we're
also not dirty here. We offer nothing but good experiences
for fans that come into watch games. All right, Second
and three things you need to know. Rest in peace
to Toby Keith, but his legend will live on at
the Derby. One hundred and fifty first Derby is this weekend,

(02:04):
and he has a racehorse running in well, at least
his company does. Render Judgment is the name of the horse,
and Toby KEIV has been to many derbys and he's
worked with horse races for the last you know, two decades,
but this will be his first racehorse actually in the derby.
So look out for him on television. Not him, I'm sorry,

(02:26):
Render Judgment when you do watch this Saturday. And then
lastly and three things you need to know this morning,
we have a new movie from Dwayne the Rock Johnson
which could potentially lead to an oscar for him.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Here's a clip of the trailer. Well, have you ever
heard of the Ultimate Fighting Championship the UFC. Oh, that's
the bloody thing they're trying to ban.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
He doesn't even look like himself. I had to google
who the actor was. I was like, I think this
is the Rock. He's playing Mark Kerr, who's known as
the Smashing Smashing something.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
And it comes out in October. Looks very, very good.
