In March 1974—47 years ago this month—Ted Giannoulas was hired by KGB-FM Radio in San Diego to wear a yellow chicken costume as part of a promotion to distribute Easter eggs to children at the San Diego Zoo. Shortly after, Ted began appearing at Padres baseball games—and the rest was sports mascot history. Now known as the Famous Chicken and the greatest mascot of all-time, Ted Giannoulas makes an appearance on the podcast to relieve some of the most memorable moments of his career with host K.P. Wee. Here is Part 1 of a two-part series with the Famous Chicken. Please enjoy!
