Season 4, Ep. 42
•
And coming to the field we’ve got… MASCOTS! We’re donning our jerseys, putting on our game faces, and diving into the world of mascots! From Gritty to Grimace, we’ve got the field covered. Sarah explores the origin of mascots, and digs into into Gritty’s emergence, while Jess shares the internet’s rankings, and teaches us about sexuality and mascots. Jess also shares her absolutely wild book find of the week, while Sarah watches something a bit more wholesome. You don’t want to miss our massive mascot list, and of course, there’s some unhinged fan fiction at the end to give you a hand… hint hint. The crowd is cheering, the mascots are ready, and the big game starts now! Hit play to join in!
