History[]

"Kid can make a mixtape."
―Gary Olsen[src]

Gary made his first appearance in "Phil's Phaves". After finally working up the courage to do so, Eddie calls Alison Olsen over the phone. However, before he can speak, Gary picks up the phone. To make things worse, Eddie's father, Louis also gets on the line. Later on, while making dinner, Gary was in the kitchen listening to the phone conversation between Alison and Eddie and praised Eddie's mixtape.

In "Keep 'Em Separated", Gary's voice was heard, yelling at Alison to get down there and eat her dinner before her brother did.

In "The Taming of the Dads", he becomes friends with Louis through their common interest of Shakespeare. Alison sees how much fun they have together compared to her and Eddie, and calls to tell him that she wants to take a break from their relationship. Eddie tells Louis, who proceeds to break off their friendship for their children, and they part with one last Shakespeare reference.
