Episode 11 - Dave Raymond | Phillie Phanatic

In this episode Brian shares a beer with an all-time favorite mascot he’s loved since he was 6 years old, the original Phillie Phanatic - Dave Raymond. Known as the emperor of fun, Dave has designed and rehabilitated hundreds of character brands for Fortune 500 companies, sports teams, and colleges and universities. Brian asks Dave the question we all want to know about the Phillie Phanatic suit - does it smell? Dave sets the record straight about Tommy Lasorda. Dave also explains how he relates his path to Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Outliers”, what it felt like to entertain fans that threw snowballs at Santa, why mascots are so important, his role in the Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty and so much more!
