Gus Olson is many things to many people: brother, husband, hype-man, daredevil, patriot, and most notably "The Thunder Guy." To me, Gus is a childhood friend. If you've ever been to an OKC Thunder basketball game, you've likely seen him flying through the air alongside the Storm Chaser Dunk Team. 

 In this episode, we get a look at the man behind the hair. A picturesque Oklahoma family with Scandanavian roots, Gus grew up the youngest of three boys alongside an even younger sister. Many hours were spent working at his father's Veterinarian Clinic, where Gus learned about hard work and never taking days off. 

 In college, Gus charted his own path that had led him to the OKC Thunder Organization, where he currently works as the Right Hand to Rumble (the mascot).   

 We dive deeper into Gus' past and learn how the events of his youth led up to what appears to be a job made just for Gus.  

 I consider Gus to be one of the central figures of the OKC Thunder. He is also the host of a podcast "The Rambling Viking" where he talks about sports and hosts a lot of mini-series.
