Podcast appearances and mentions of Dave Raymond

NBA fans were treated to one of stranger and more hilarious moments of the season earlier this week, when Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker took exception to the actions of the opposing team's mascot, The Raptor. What made the situation especially ridiculous was the fact that there were no fans in the arena -- just a lone red dinosaur in a basketball jersey, jumping around and trying to distract Booker while he shot free throws late in the game. In honor of this incredible moment, we're doing a deep dive on mascots today. First, former Phillie Phanatic (and founder of the Mascot Hall Of Fame) Dave Raymond joins us to share his views on the Booker situation. Then, The Athletic's Nick Kosmider and James Edwards III tell the story of the first father-son mascot duo in NBA history, and take us deep inside the secret, joyful, and challenging lives of mascots.Read Nick and James's original story:https://theathletic.com/1630387/2020/02/25/the-inside-story-of-the-nbas-first-and-only-father-son-mascots/Learn more about Dave Raymond:https://daveraymondspeaks.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Al Remuermo d'avui: · No se si esteu al càrreg però fa una setmana vam a anar a La Sotana (xarauts!) i ens ho vam passar molt bé. · Com es crea una mascota? Com pots materialitzar una sèrie de vincles emocionals amb un bitxo gegant que sembla tret d'una peli de pixar? Parlem de Dave Raymond, el MJ de la creació de mascotes. · Hi ha un Mascot Hall of Fame, ara ja ho sabeu. De pas revissem alguns dels museus més absurds que coneixem. · Aquesta setmana no tenim pitch de peli però com hi han 4 equips de l'NBA que no tenen mascota els hi propossem unes quantes. · Quina moguda el Covid, eh? Intentem no caure en cunyadismes per parlar de com la lliga estar intentant mantenir-se durant aquesta nova onada. · Wardell Stephen Curry ja és, empíricament, el millor tirador de 3 de la història de l'NBA. Hi han barrets conspiranoics i mirades al futur. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cantplaykanter/message

Mascots come in all shapes and sizes. From animals like the Oriole Bird or Roary the Lion to creatures like Gritty, mascots are a zany yet indelible part of sports. And while we honor the best players, teams, and coaches at various hall of fame institutions, there hasn’t been a place to honor mascots … until now. The three-story, 18 million-dollar Mascot Hall of Fame is open in Whiting, Indiana. Jake Malooley takes us behind the scenes to its hallowed, fur-lined halls. And he shares the story of the man who made it all happen: Dave Raymond, who worked as the original Phillie Phanatic. Then, Pablo shares his thoughts on LeBron James and the Lakers’ recent struggles.

The original Phillie Phanatic (1978-1993), Author of "The Power of Fun" Notes & enter to win a signed copy of his book: https://www.markgraban.com/mistake43 My guest for Episode #43 is Dave Raymond, author of the book The Power of Fun. So what does Dave know about fun? He's had an incredibly fun career. For one, he was a somewhat accidental pioneer as a sports mascot — he was the first person to perform as the Phillie Phanatic, doing so for 16 years, in 48 states and five countries. He started Raymond Entertainment Group 20 years ago, where he has designed and rehabilitated hundreds of character brands for Fortune 500 companies, sports teams, and colleges and universities — Including Victor E. Green, who I've seen at Dallas Stars games and Gritty, the new Philadelphia Flyers mascot. In 2005, he founded the Mascot Hall of Fame. Davie is also a motivational speaker (doing a lot of virtual work now). In the episode today, Dave shares his "favorite mistake" story which involved him and the Phanatic not showing up for an event -- and how the Phillies team leadership helped him learn a valuable lesson. We'll also talk about how he became the Phanatic, as a marketing intern with the team, the reception that he got from the fans, and whether the animosity with the late Dodgers' manager Tommy Lasorda was real or not. We also talk about his recent work and why people should be having more fun in the workplace. Can you have a process for creating fun? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/favorite-mistake/support

Nick was joined by Dave Raymond of Fox Sports Southwest to talk about the AL and NL west teams still alive in the MLB playoffs and who he thinks will keep moving on.

On the second hour of The Nick Handley Show, the Tennessee Titans keep having more positive cases and they could face some penalties if proven they weren't following protocols. Next, we hear from ESPN's Louis Riddick on NFL players needing to take accountability for their actions if they aren't following the protocols. Then we talk MLB Playoffs with Dave Raymond of Fox Sports Southwest. We close out the hour with our 100,000 Husker challenge.

I'm joined by the voice of the Texas Rangers TV Broadcast, Dave Raymond. We discuss the team lack of performance, if it's fair to evaluate the team like a normal season, Joey Gallo's future. Plus food talk.

Dave Raymond, like many of us, started as an intern. When his bosses evoked the "other duties as assigned" clause, Dave became the first person to go out on the field as the world-renowned Phillie Phanatic. On stage, in front of a live audience, we learn about the person who launched a thousand antics and inspired The Power of Fun!

Dave Raymond the TV voice of the Rangers joined Matt Mosley to discuss the Rangers opening series of the season, and more on the "Matt Mosley Show".

Geoff Blum was a switch-hitting utility player for the Houston Astros in 2002-'03 and from 2008 through 2010. Originally selected in the 7th round of the 1994 amateur draft by the Montreal Expos, Blum spent 14 seasons in the Major League and played for 7 big league clubs. Now, as a popular television broadcaster, Blummer often enjoys reflecting on his time in an Astros uniform and the Killer B's. Today, with a little help from the former radio team of Dave Raymond and Brett Dolan, Blum looks back to July 2, 2009, in San Diego where a swarm of bees caused a significant delay in the 9th inning. As MLB prepares for Summer Camp 2020, Blumer and AstroPod go deep into the archives for this off-the-bee'tn path baseball memory.

Dave Raymond was the senior class President at Stanford University and he was homeless. It was by design, somewhat, because it was practical. He was a stand-up comedian on the side. His articles for Forbes magazine are widely cited as bursting the internet bubble in the early 2000s. These days, Dave and his wife are the owner of a nanny and tutoring business. Oh yeah, he's also the TV play-by-play announcer for the Texas Rangers. Raymond's journey is fascinating. He quit his first broadcasting job in the minors before the season began. He was once traded for a blind announcing team. After over a decade in the minors and a few fill-in games in the majors, he finally got his first full-time MLB job with the Houston Astros. Six years later, he was fired and had basically given up on broadcasting. Now he's back in the majors, happier than ever with the Rangers, doing the job he always dreamed. His remarkable story takes awhile to tell properly, but all the twists and turns will make you shake your head in appreciation.
