Gabe Biwit

**Gabe Biwit** (born November 18, 1972), also known as **Uncle Gabe** (formerly known as **White Claw Gabe**), is an influencer and comedian. He is a friend-of-the-show and recurring guest on the *H3 Podcast*. He gained fame making whacky videos drinking White Claw hard seltzer, eating food on specific days (i.e. fried chicken Wednesday,) swearing excessively and comedically saying, "yeah, baby," frequently. He is notable for his loud bursts of profane language, which amuse both the podcast crew, and the audience.

He makes an appearance at the beginning of every single Friday episode of *After Dark*, having done so since May 2021.

## Background

WhiteClawGabe grew significantly on TikTok as a beloved eccentric in early 2021 as the 'For You Page' began recommending his videos and people began reposting them on social media.

On July 12th, 2020, @WhiteClawGabe posted his first video to TikTok, a video of his dog. His first 16 videos, taking place between then and August, are mostly videos of Gabe's dogs. On November 13th, WhiteClawGabe posted his first video drinking a White Claw TikTok (shown to the right). In the video, Gabe says, "It's White Claw time, baby," then opens the can and drinks it, garnering over 8,000 views in five months.

## History with H3

The podcast crew discovered Uncle Gabe on the March 19, 2021 episode of *After Dark* (#28), where they find and explore videos from his TikTok account. They were particularly amused of his phrase, "It's friday baby! F\*ck!", as well as his love of White Claw hard seltzer drinks. The crew then got Gabe to call in to the show on *After Dark #35*.

Starting with *After Dark #38*, Gabe has called in on every single Friday episode of *After Dark*. During Gabe's call-ins, Ethan often encourages a back and forth between Gabe and himself of shouting nonsensical, inappropriate phrases. Ethan ends each call by saying goodbye, and then staring at Gabe silently until Gabe eventually hangs up.

In 2021, the entire crew (minus Ethan and Hila) attended Gabe's birthday party. In 2022, the entire crew (for one reason or another) missed Gabe's birthday party, leading to Gabe's Birthday Curse striking the crew members.

Gabe has also appeared at the 2022 H3 Podcast Live Show, as well as the 2023 H3 Podcast Live Show.

## Fall Out with White Claw

White Claw Hard Seltzer is an alcoholic seltzer water beverage manufactured by Mark Anthony Group. The beverage was introduced in 2016 and is sold in 12 various flavors. The beverage is made from a blend of seltzer water, a gluten-free malted alcohol base, and fruit flavor.

Gabe originally came to fame as White Claw Gabe, known for his love of the hard seltzer drinks. In June 2023, on After Dark #110, Gabe explains that he no longer wants to be known as White Claw Gabe. He explains that, after three years, her finally received an answer from the White Claw company, stating that they do not wish to affiliate with him, and do not want him to sponsor their products. This popularized the phrase "F\*ck White Claw" on the podcast.

## Trivia

* Gabe's first cousin is the wife of American actor Nicholas Turturro.
