Everyone’s favourite NHL mascot Gritty of the Philadelphia Flyers gave his first official interview yesterday, granting an EXCLUSIVE one on one with Entertainment Weekly.

Check out some of Gritty’s unique takes below, including what appears to be a strong pick up line for reality TV star Kim Kardashian:

Entertainment Weekly: I’ve seen headlines describe you as a “terrifying monstrosity” and “pure nightmare fuel.” How would you describe yourself?
Gritty: Tall, dark burnt orange, and handsome. And those nightmares get about 29 miles to the gallon, so I’d say the fuel level is great.

EW: We’re profiling you under “10 things that rocked the internet this year,” so what does that honor mean to you?
G: I mean it’s nice. It’ll mean a heck of a lot more when I receive that monetary cash prize (you guys have my address right? I can’t do Venmo anymore).

EW: How do you think you’ve handled your skyrocketing success? Are we headed for a Kanye-like meltdown?
G: Ou contrare, I’m predicting an Elon Musk-level ascension. All the way to the freaking MOON! Also, ATTN KIM K: if Kanye really did melt and you need a shoulder to cry on, I’ve been told this fur works wonders to heal the soul.

EW: What’s next? How can you possibly top your 2018?
G: I thought Next was that dating show on MTV. They canceled that I think if I remember correctly. Shame. But, to top my 2018? Probs counting down til’ midnight with [Flyers player] Claude [Giroux] — dream big ya know?

And hey… if Kim K doesn’t take to Gritty… well he can be his very own Kim K.
