Yeah, people love a mascot you see when GOOD things happen, but what if there was a real stinker mascot only coming out to rag on the team? Harry is joined by Mascot Hall of Fame Co-Founder and Curator Christopher Bruce to talk about being able to perform in a trash bag, the difference between 2d and 3d mascots, and having Project Runway design some big and tall mascot fashions.
