* Gabe's first lunch box was Superman.

* Gabe is sloppy.

* The other guys say that Gabe is the one in the group who can make anyone laugh.

* Plus One's first apartment was so small that Gabe was forced to sleep in the closet.

* If Gabe wasn't a singer he would consider becoming a pastor like his father.

* Gabe has a cat named Yang, but also admits to being petrified of animals.  When he first saw Jeremy's dog he was scared of it "because it kept sniffing him."

* Gabe said if he could change his name he would change it to Joe.

* The other members say that Gabe is never serious, and you can never tell is he's paying attention because he zones out.
