The Phanatic is a bunch of characters all rolled into one.

Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, the Three Stooges -- but he also has that eternal optimism of

the 10-year-old in all of us.

Hi, everybody my name is Tom Burgoyne.

I'm the best friend of the Phillie Phanatic who is the mascot of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Some people say he's the greatest mascot in the whole world and -- you know what, I agree.

The Phanatic, when he came out, I was in seventh grade.

And, now here I am, the guy who gets to play that character.

It blew my mind and actually to this day almost 30 years later I still can't believe it.

I grew up in a family that had a lot of business people.

My dad was a business man, my brothers, my one sister got into business and I just thought,

okay, that's what I'm going be.

I went to college, I got a marketing degree and I thought okay, I'm going to be in sales.

I think there was a path that was calling my name that whole time but I chose not to

go down there.

I had people throughout my life who told me I was good at certain things and maybe I should

go down this other path but I declined to follow that passion, the "Phanatic" that was

inside me.

Instead, I took the safe road.

I took a job selling business forms and computer supplies and I guess I wasn't doing a very

good job of it because about seven months after taking the job, I found myself looking

through the Want Ads in the Philadelphia Inquirer and saw an ad that said "MASCOTS WANTED".

I answered this ad just thinking it was some kind of crazy mascot job, but it was for the

Phillie Phanatic job.

I got the call that I was going to be the Phanatic, I thought "Wow!"

I'm really doing something that I know I'm going to love.

I don't know if I knew what that meant at the time, I think I've become the best

version of myself because I'm doing that thing that I just love to do.

Even though the Phanatic is maybe at the top of the hill right now in terms popularity

for mascots, I think, justr personally, it is important to keep pushing yourself creatively

and see where that leads you.

Being the Phanatic has opened up a lot of doors and it's kind of let me live the dream

of what I dreamed when I was a kid.

I loved to write stories -- funny, crazy stories.

I just think it's cool now.

I've written 14 kids books and some other books about the Philliies, so it's really

opened up the door to so many great opportunities.

You know I've had the Phanatic over in Europe, and Australia, Japan and all these places

we go.

It's just amazing to me how recognizable he is.

It is that everyday encounter that really lights people up, people get so excited,

and so enthused when they meet the Phanatic.

It's a memory that can last a lifetime.

So it's that every encounter that the Phanatic has and the love that he spreads with those

fans, that really is the best part of the job.

To be able to bring so many smiles to people's faces, to be around just the excitement of

Phillies baseball.

It's really a dream come true.

Hillary is Descending into Madness and Taking the Democratic Party with Her - Duration: 5:59.

Hillary Clinton took the stage at ReCode's CodeCon on Wednesday and decided to take full

responsibility for her November loss with a few exceptions – she said…

QUOTE:

"I take responsibility for every decision I made, but that's not why I lost."

So, why did she lose?

Well, according to Hillary she lost because of the DNC, sexism, Russia, Citizens United,

Russia, WikiLeaks, James Comey, Russia, InfoWars, and…

Russia.

When asked about getting paid a TON of cash for giving speeches to Goldman Sachs – Hillary

compared those speeches to speeches she gave to camp counselors and she even played the

9/11 card saying she talked to Wall Street mostly about Bin Laden.

But, we aren't supposed to criticize her for her ties to Wall Street, no.

According to Hillary – she would not have been criticized for selling out to Goldman

Sachs… if she were a man, fair enough.

Next on Hillary's hit list?

The Supreme Court's ruling on Citizen's United.

She RAILED against the unaccountable money flowing in against her and cried poor through

the interview.

But, Hillary, numbers don't lie.

According to federal filings, just two Pro-Hillary PACs like "Priorities USA Action" and

"Correct the Record" raised over $200 MILLION DOLLARS more than ALL of the Pro-Trump

PACs combined.

She even attacked the "underfunded" DNC – when Hillary became the Democratic nominee,

the DNC was bankrupt and ineffective – even though they just rigged a primary election

in her favor.

But Hillary wasn't done – she decided to play right into RussiaMania when she said

that "the 1,000 Russian agents" worked to spread fake news on facebook against her

and "millions of bots" helping Trump on Twitter.

But, Hillary promises that she didn't engage in "false content" – good for her.

She then goes on to say that the Podesta emails were run-of-the mill campaign emails that

the Russians hacked.

Gosh, I was unaware that Moroccan officials donating 12 million dollars was run of the

mill.

It is normal, I guess, to be fed debate questions ahead of time, getting tipped off about DOJ

information, emailing about "Needy Latinos" or leaking pro-fracking speeches.

I'm not sure how those things could have been used against Hillary – and apparently

neither is she.

You see, while the Russians were skilled enough to hack into Podesta's emails – they had

no idea how to "weaponize" the content.

So, she said only one person could have been the mastermind to guide the Russians…

Donald Trump himself.

That's right, the same guy that tweeted "covfefe" somehow managed to work directly

with Putin to hack Podesta's emails and turn benign information into a successful

campaign.

As for the future, Hillary says she is not going to run for President again – THANK

YOU!

She did mention that she was not a perfect candidate, but when asked if she would change

her campaign, she pushed the question aside, said brought to conversation to gender…

and even said this…

"President Obama broke that racial barrier, but you know, he's a very attractive, good

looking man…"

HILLARY – just… just stop.

Ok?

Seriously?

Yes, let's downplay Obama being the first black president because he was a good looking

man.

Got it.

Let's reduce Obama's presidency to his looks and gender.

How self-centered can you get?!

Of course – it wasn't all a blame game for Hillary – she did give high marks to

Jeff Bezos and The Washington Post.

You know, the publication that was revealed to be "fans" of Hillary in those "run-of-the-mill"

Podesta emails, asking how they could help the campaign.

She loves that they are getting away from the editorial content and working on REAL

investigations.

That's nice.

Now – if you look across the media landscape, Hillary was a champion for what she said in

her Recode interview.

She "stormed the stage" and "railed against fake news, trolls, and Trump."

Like it or not, the corporate media is still selling you the image of Hillary as the leader

of the left.

THIS HAS TO STOP!

The people don't trust Hillary – the people don't trust the DNC.

But, she is the media's darling and they are going to continue to push her down your

throat.

Meanwhile, her insistence that she wasn't responsible for losing to Trump does NOTHING

to help Democrats.

Look, it is time we start to get rid of these fake Democrats, stop blaming everyone else

and either take back the party or abandon it and if we keep seeing Hillary dominate

headlines, the Democratic party will find itself empty inside… much like Hillary.
