Chris travels the country performing as Reggy the Purple Party Dude. Reggy has his own talk show, he's the official spokes-character of the Mascot Hall of Fame and he fights for the rights of mascots everywhere. Brad left 'Sherman' behind to move to Fresno. There he develops the personality for 'Parker,' a brand new bear to debut for the Grizzlies. Jim attends a Mascot Bootcamp to polish his skills as 'Salty.' He wants to leave Syracuse and get back into hockey
