Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
I'll just take my like shorts and socks and suspenders and I'll just run into a bathroom and I'll come out like carrying my jeans. And so I'm sure everybody thinks I shit my pants, but I'm really just shaking in the thunder. You know?
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Exactly. You got to stop with the loves, you get your change on, you go out, and then here comes Thunder.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Yeah. It takes about like a good hour and a half or two hours per paint job, depending on who the artist is, how detailed we're going to be and everything like that. Like last night we were cutting it up to the, like to tip off of getting finished because we were painting.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
And somebody took way longer at the house than they should have.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Oh, my God. There is no repeat belly pain. Are you kidding me?
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
We got to be original every time out the gate, always. So typically it kind of goes through like a planning process. You know, if I have an idea, I'll do a sketch.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
um and then i'll send it to the group sometimes or if somebody feels like they're really motivated and they have a perfect idea which to her credit nazi has had some good ones you know we'll send it to the group chat we'll get it talked about we'll kind of iron it out and then in the moment we can have a perfect idea but when we start painting the idea changes evolves it becomes a whole new thing yeah the main point of the sketch is it always has to have nipples so we know where places it goes yeah very important wait how many people are in this group text
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Okay, well, you got Matt. Matt's a former Storm Chaser.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
You got Devin, another former Storm Chaser. You got Josh Thunderhead, the winner of the Ultimate Fan Competition. You got Derek Brickman, Nazi Thunder Princess, Garrett Thundor. You got Arlen, who has done like five or six different alter egos throughout the years. You got Gary, which shout out to Gary. This is his first time to really don a costume. He's the Caruso lookalike in the crowd.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Well, see, that's the thing. Like Gary being the Caruso lookalike now, he's he's more famous than I am. I mean, he gets all the love.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
There's Thunder Rob. I was about to say, we're not going to forget Thunder Rob.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Wait, Alan, did you say had multiple? Harlan. Harlan. He's done Thunder Doctor. He's done Chewabaka. He's done Thunder Claws. He's got alter egos for days.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
What is he doing right now? He's Thunder Doctor because he's a doctor in real life. He's a real doctor.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
I love it. That's a group for sure.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
He's a rocket scientist.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
He's also like the most extreme guy you're going to meet. He is a genius, and he is also called Uncle Mental when he does his bike races. The dude rode his mountain bike through the Iditarod Trail in Alaska. Wow.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
So for the playoffs, I work both sides. So I'll go to the opposing... They're not going to get away from me in the playoffs. I'm going to heckle you for the full 48 minutes.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Yep. And so I run down the stairs. I give them the... I get the belly shakes going on. Whatever I can do to get their attention. And then once they lock... eyes with me that's when i know i have them if i can get them to smirk laugh take a second to squint to see what the hell are they looking at Next thing you know, they're missing a free throw.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
And that one missed free throw could change the game. It can change the world. Now, does this happen very often? No. There's a small percentage chance. But the fact that there's a chance that I can impact a game, I'm going to take that and run with it.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Yeah. Damian Wilkins, former Thunder player, was playing for the Hawks on New Year's Eve. I had like glitter, firework, paint jobs on my moves. I had a ball that I would drop up and down during the free throws. Damian Wilkins straight up doubles over in laughter. And the very next free throw, he misses. Oh, love it.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Earlier, probably the most recent one that I've gotten to is Paulo Banqueiro because I had like a Czech versus Paulo paint job going on. And you see him kind of lean forward trying to read the belly. And then he's like, oh, okay. And then he goes to shoot the free throw. Miss. I think you guys referenced it during one of your podcasts. Chris Kamen was the first person I ever heckled. I was 22.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
I was nervous. It was my first time being Thundor, and I did not stop. I heckled him when he was on the bench. I heckled him when he was shooting free throws. He threw a towel over his head. You know, I was calling him Chris Caveman. That's probably like the most personal attack I've ever given somebody. That's a personal attack. I try to keep it PG.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
You know, I try to do just more of the sounds, getting the attention, doing the distractions. But, you know, my apologies, Chris Caveman, for all the missed free throws that you may have experienced. Kudos to you for being an NBA player.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Okay, here's the problem, guys. I'll be honest. We've tried doing choreographed dancing because Nazi is a dancer. I am not. So that's not out there. I'll lose the movement. I'll forget what I'm doing. But the finals, I do have a secret weapon. His name is Chase Dryden. And he is one of the best belly artists known to man. He is awesome.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
And so actually, the Firehouse Art Gallery in Norman, Oklahoma, they actually did an art show that was called uh thundor the the art of chase dryden and so we had all of these belly arts that chase had done and they had them mounted all along the wall and it was it was a really cool experience yeah i don't know that indiana or new york can prepare for this I know.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
I look forward, I would like to welcome any Indiana or New York Knicks fans to come to Oklahoma City. Come hang out with us. Let's be friendly. I want to win, sure, but I want to meet some others. I know I'm not the only weirdo out there. I welcome your weird. Come get weird with me. Let's live our weird together while we cheer on our teams.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
And I saw the ad as well. I luckily had bought a $5 knockoff Nacho Libre costume just days earlier before the season started. So after that very first game, by the next game, I'm getting all thundered up. I took that jumpsuit. I had my friend who I'm friends with a lot of artists. I went to a university called USAO, the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
And so I'm just around all these gifted artists. So I had my friend make like a logo on the chest piece. Another one of my friends who was a cheerleader, I took his megaphone, I wrapped it up and blew an orange tape. And then I just went and got wild and crazy.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
And now, you know, being Thundor, getting my belly painted pretty regularly, it's just my way to kind of give back, to support local artists, put themselves out there, get their names out there. Again, Chase Dryden, great tattoo artist, great artist, great friend.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
So absolutely. So I've been wanting to go to all the other arenas and meet all their super fans. Now, I'm not made of money, so that's really hard to get to do. But I did have Spurs Jesus reached out to me in San Antonio. And so during rivalry week last year, I got to go out there. We got to, you know, shoot the shit, hang out, have a great time. He did my belly paint for the game.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
And we just went and had ourselves a really good time. Thunder, of course, won, so that made it that much sweeter. But it was still – he's a friend now who, when the Thunder won the game last night, you know, he's one of the first people texting me saying, you know, congrats, big man, on going to the finals.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
So I dig that. I love that. And that's why I welcome, you know, whether it's the Pacers or the Knicks, come on, super fans, let's come hang out. Let's kick it in Oklahoma. I'll go to your place. We'll have a good time. Let's do this.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
We're winning, Big Cat. We're winning. So whatever shirt he wants to wear, whether he wants to wear a tutu, whether he wants to come in his birthday suit, I don't care as long as the Thunder are winning. But I will say, the way I fan up, Isn't the way you're going to fan up. Isn't the way Juan's going to fan up. We can all fan in our own ways.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
The biggest thing is we're having a good time, and we're there to support the team and win.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Yeah. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
The Thunder are relentless. They're inevitable. They just got four more wins to hang that banner, baby.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
He is here. We had a big Thunder fan sleepover last night over here at my house.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
In his honor.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Yeah, yeah. It's, you know, it's a lot of math involved, anything I hear.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
It is going to be September. She's going to turn 40 this year. She's already made a big deal about it, I promise.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
I'll be 40 in July.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
It's okay to be weird.
Pardon My Take
Greg Olsen, Zach LaVine, Knicks Stay Alive, Thunder Win The West Plus We Check In With Thundor and Thunder Princess + Fyre Fest
Yes. Or just come to OKC. Might have to do that.
