>>This is Tom Baker gearing
up for his first attempt
as Ritchie the mascot.
Not feeling good already.
Huh, Tom?
>>TOM: Nope. It’s a little
moist honestly. I feel like
I’ve gotten really close to
about a thousand other people
that I don’t really want to
be that close to.
[phone ringing in the distance]
>>TOM: I may need you to
zip me up.
>>Oh, sure.
Hang on. [laughter]
There we go.
>>ESCORT: Do you want to stay
in here first or do you
want to go outside?
>>You might as well stay
in here first.
>>ESCORT: Stay in here first?
>>Yeah.
>>WOMAN: I want my picture taken.
>>MOTHER: Okay, one more.
>>GIRL’S FATHER: There we go.
Perfect. Thank you.
High five!
Alright!
>>Is that a good one?
>>Yeah.
>>Who’s that Tiger?
High five!
>>Who is that masked man?
>>TOM: Oh, my God!
>>How’d it go?
>>TOM: Oh, my God, it’s hot!
But I find myself smiling
and making faces, like even
when I’m in the mask.
>> You made a lot of people
happy today.
>> TOM: It’s definitely fun.
