Former Banana Night Guy, Fantone, Saves Child From Cheetah Enclosure [VIDEO]

Many of you long time listeners remember our old night guy, Fantone. He was a funny guy with a personality all his own, a character to say the least. Last weekend, while visiting the Cleveland Zoo, he heard some cries for help and jumped into action.

After leaving the Banana, Fantone moved closer to home and now works for a rock radio morning show in Cleveland. During a trip to the Cleveland Zoo with his girlfriend, they heard screams coming from the Cheetah enclosure. After a two-year-old's parents accidentally dropped the child into the enclosure, they jumped in after him. After grabbing the child they began to scream for help. Who came to the rescue? That's right, the one and only Fantone. Check out the news story below.

We have all watched the video a few times over and we are left with one question. Is this real or fake? Having known him personally, I think this is a true story. Some people have said that it just doesn't seem believable and they think he is making it up. In my opinion, it's true. What you see in the video and how he told the story is exactly the way he was when he worked here. So I called him up and got the full version of the story. You can listen to that call below.
