Steve O'Dyle is one of Rip's high school buddies and a true budding activist. He's meant to be sort of an homage to one of my biggest childhood heroes, Steve Irwin. He's also the guy who leads the band that Rip sometimes collaborates with. He and his band mates spend most of their free time writing and singing songs intended to spread awareness about all the crazy crap still going on in the world from environmental destruction to inequality.
