Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam everyone's heard about Reggie the Rabbit. It's
not actually Reggie the Rabbit. Reggie the Rabbit was the
original rabbit and he passed away back in nineteen six, no,
I believe, of old age, and that went on to
the current rabbit, which is Charlie the Rabbit. But if
you haven't been following this story except the Shark's Rabbit,

(00:21):
o's game. The bunnies got done and it appears that
Reggie the Rabbits or Charlie Rabbit has pushed a little
nine year old kid. And we've just looked at the footage.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
We've gone to my bunger.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
I don't know what happened beforehand to get to that.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Well the kid has said I just came up to
do a high five. That may not be the case,
because you know the Sharks had beaten he was a
Sharky's fan, little kid. There's probably a bit of ras involved,
but as a mascot, you've got to cop the ras.
But I think everyone would have been surprised to see
that the man inside the suit is a man in
his eighties.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
He's eighty one.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
He's an old dude.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
He's been doing it for a long time.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I know so, but I think that if you're a mascot,
you whip the crowd up and you copp the good
and the bag, you can't get cranky. Yeah, and he
says he didn't know he couldn't see his peripheral vision.
It was a little bit tricky.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
I've been.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
But as a mascot you have.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
To mascot suits a few times.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Well you did once as you dressed up as the rooster.
I lost a bet. You lost a bet with your
good friend me. You're a good friend, your good friend me.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
The approval vision is not good. I've also dressed up
as Lenny Electric. Who's that? He's a lion that sprooks
illawor Electricity called Lenny Electric?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
What event was that?

Speaker 1 (01:40):
They just needed someone to do it?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
At a football game?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
No, no, just walking through a shopping center. But I
remember these little smart ass kids were giving me a
bit of lip and I told them off.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
But that's the thing. You cannot do that.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Who's in the suit. But that's the bigger issue.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I think you don't know who's in the soup now.
I think the big issue is if you're the mascot,
that you're there to soak up the love and the
hate and the passion. You're engendering all those emotions, and
you cop what you cop as long as it's not abuse.
Song is not physical abuse. But that's the mascot's job
is to soak at all.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Charlie Rabbit has apologized to the young fella involved.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
In saying, I didn't know. I didn't know that I
pushed him. I didn't mean to push him, and I'm
hoping it's a proofal vision. But also he's eighty one. Well,
even Chip, what did Elbow say? He said, Look, he
didn't mean to do it, and he feels for the kid,
but also give the Rabbit to give him a free
pass's you know, I'm not quoting directly, that's.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Quite I know he's got the budget on time distracted.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
That's exactly the words he said.
