Gatowag (aka Brandt) is the hero chat realm usually deserves, but just not the one it really ever needed. He is oft present during the live shows, although he generally lurks in the rafters. He is a photographer and aspiring filmmaker residing in San Marcos, Texas.

On December 4, 2012, it was announced during NSFW that he would be Brian Brushwood's new road manager.

Early BBverse

He was first inducted as a viewer and member of the chatrealm around BBLiveShow Episode 10. He did not become a contributing and known member of chatrealm until the end of BBLiveShow's run. During his rise to prominence, he worked with Kuhan to create and distribute NSFW and BBLiveShow related apparel through Cafepress. The Cafepress shop was then abandoned in favor of Spreadshirt.

His first notable BBVerse contribution was the overwhelmingly loved TPIA shirt design. He then surfaced in the after show of NSFW Episode 30 with the acclaimed Night Attack adobeshop (foreshadowing his work on the similarly named comedy album). He really won over the chatrealm in the highly controversial Second 10 Second Film Festival with his short films If All Went Well and A SHORT Film. Although to the dismay of the Internet our guest host, Jason Howell, was speculated to be involved in some mischievous and morally questionable shenanigans wherein he submitted his own video and declared it the ultimate winner. The case went cold.

On The Assist

After graduating college with his Associate of Arts, Brandt struck a dialogue with Brian over the assistant position. After confirming in person in late 2012, it was publicly announced live on NSFW 156 So I Hired an Axe Murderer.

He has since taken over tour manager duties, fulfilling his spiritual obligations as inherited from Brian's assistant ancestry. In addition to this, Brandt acts as lead designer and editor for many of Brian's projects. Most notably: editor of Night Attack 2, editor of Behind The Scam, camera operator and editor of Extra Credit, product designer for many products on Scam Stuff, as well as creating promotional material for these products.
