Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're waking up in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Kiss let us one, good morning, Good morning. It's stripe
pipe Fridays. Marissa Contapelli from the Bengals, she's a producer
and team reporter, comes on every Friday to get us
ready for the game. So Marissa, when coach Zach Taylor
looks at the camera dead on and says, hey, fans,
we need you to be in the building, locked, ready

(00:23):
to go on time for the home opener, puts your
drinks down and end your tailgating early.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
It must be serious.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Good morning, my gal.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Good morning. And exactly tip it is serious. The home
opener open an orange. I mean, how can you not
be excited to be back in the jungle. And exactly
the fact that Zach Taylor is asking fans, He's like, look,
leave the tailgate pennants early, start to tailgate pennants early
so you can get into the gates. He wants everyone
in their seats not only for the startup kickoff, but

(00:54):
because Sam Hubbard is our ruler of the jungle, this
place needs to be loud right from the get go.
And I mean, I'm so excited that Sam is going
to be back as ruler and that wants a packed
house and who doesn't want to see him Sam given
his flex up there on the ruler stage. So absolutely
fans need to get in their seats, get through the gates.
You really don't want to miss what we have going

(01:16):
on pregames.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Okay, Well, we have a lot of fans in SINCI
that have been to a million Bengals games before. It's
been a while since I've been inside pay corps. What like,
is there something special? Can I get like an insider
on what to look for if you are going in?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yes, and it actually tiff. It all starts Friday night.
We're having a huge Open and Orange block party down
at the Banks. There's going to be drinks, food, you
can get your picture taken with fo Day the Bengals.
It's going to be a great time. It starts Friday
evening after five six pm, going to go all night.
You can also grab the new season T shirt that

(01:53):
is going to be there. And fun fact about our
new Open and Orange T shirt, they are so well designed.
I have a really cool time your head on them
with the schedule on the back. But each one of
those shirts that's sold actually benefits the Free Store Food
Bank and we raise awareness for Hunger Action Months, which
is the month of September. So you can purchase those
at the block party if you're going down to the Banks,

(02:15):
or just hop over to the Bengals Pro Shop. They
have tons of T shirts for available for purchase in
there as well. So that's all started Friday night and
then Sunday morning, we have our pregame at the Banks
that will be from ten to one o'clock. A lot
of different activations happening. We have a really cool three
D Streets artists coming in to do a tiger painting

(02:36):
on the sidewalk. It's going to be right outside of
Gate d Over, kind of by Elm Street, and I
really really recommend fans check that out. The artist is
going to get started with it Friday evening and work
into it on Saturday and it's going to be good
to go Sunday pregame, so if you're coming down, make
sure you give yourself a little bit of extra time.
That's going to be a really cool activation insite that

(02:58):
you're going to want to see in person. We also
have our pregame at the Banks. We're going to have
the Jungle Zone. We have a tailgate zone Skyland is
going to be there. Donado's Kink Hawaiian actually is going
to have like a new different kind of like slider
conveyor belt with free fliers available for fans. So I'm
really intrigued by that because, I mean, who doesn't love

(03:18):
those kings Ha Wine roles are some of the best.
And then we also in game have a new different
type of experience called Spaces in the Crowd where you
are going to be able to find yourself in the
stadium and print your picture on a Sports Illustrated commemorative.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Covermrisa Contapelli is the team reporter for the Bengals, and
she comes on and joins Tiff in the morning for
stripe pipe Fridays. You're going to be on the field
and engaged. You know, just in the loud atmosphere of
the stadium. Is that that's got to be one of
your favorite parts.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
It absolutely is that nothing beats a game day in
the Jungle. I mean, our fans are so incredible. It
gets me so hyped and like ready to like run
through a brick wall for this team just to base
on the energy that they bring. I swear it is
so it's our fans are just so incredible. They're so

(04:13):
special and I love the energy that has brought. So
that's definitely something we're going to be needing on Sunday
as we look to start to and oh, get our
first home win and be loud where your orange. I
can't wait to see all of the different open and
orange outfits and gear that fans are going to be in,
and it's just going to be a great time. Pay

(04:35):
the place to be on Sunday.
