Show Notes
A couple months ago, we started getting messages from listeners telling us: you gotta watch this video.
It’s a thirty minute YouTube video from a creator named Brian David Gilbert, and it’s probably the best video about health insurance we’ve ever seen.
Brian David Gilbert is best known for his highly-detailed, hilarious videos for Polygon, a media company about video games. But when he left that job to strike out on his own, he needed new health insurance. We talked with him about how that experience turned into one of the most difficult videos he’s ever made — and this is a guy whose old job had him tracing things like Zelda storylines across decades-long franchises.
You can watch the full video here.
Other delightful BDG creations discussed in this episode:
- The two-minute video that launched his career.
- His 15-minute dive into the Legend of Zelda
- A cooking demo: “Welcome to my weird ice creams.” Yum.
