Gabriel Brown might be the most broadly-talented guest we’ve ever had. He not only sings, he’s ever singer. He’s got a deep, highly-knowledgeable interest in all things science. He knows ballistics. He’s a voice actor, a paraglider… it’s incredible, and 90 minutes with him wasn’t nearly enough.

Songs, and especially song bits, are a little different than overall impersonation – and the limitations Gabriel explains make a lot of sense. That incredible 54 songs video? That wasn’t the cash cow, but it drove traffic elsewhere, including Spotify.

The 7th Fleet was keen on, uh, paying tribute to Michael Jackson, and Gabriel answered the call. But that’s nothing compared to the sheer determination he’s exhibited to get to the Moon. His SpaceX saga is incredible, and although it hasn’t worked out just yet, the door hasn’t closed entirely. Plan B? Become a billionaire.

As YouTubers like 12tone are realizing, the platform really is an island. Not only is it insular with the public, but it’s even insular within the media. And then Gabriel’s explanation of Barrett rifle ballistics turns The Create Unknown into a firearms podcast.

After an incredible discussion about curiosity and developing an appreciation for knowing things, we get into the real intellectual stuff: the My Little Pony community. It’s a wild ride.

The Patrons grill Gabriel on all sorts of things, from specifics about music production to Hazbin Hotel and why he can only play a handful of video games. And, of course, the fursona question is not only back, but Gabriel handled it better than any guest ever.

Everyone who showed up for the live show on Discord got one of the best views into the creative mind that we’ve ever offered up – and we could talk to Gabriel for 20 more hours without scratching the surface. Thanks to all of you who joined in, and especially to the Patrons who make this show happen every single week. Next up… I Did a Thing, Tuesday night at 6pm ET in the Discord. GET IN.
