ASK ME 55 'FAN' QUESTIONS (will answer in 5Cast #4)

Hey guys,

Extremely stoked on the positive feedback surrounding 5Cast #2, and am even more excited to drop 5cast #3, which is all about the 'Zizian' cult of (allegedly) homicidal rationalists that emerged from the Bay Area, featuring our first-ever IRL studio guest, documentary filmmaker Jacob Hurwitz-Goodman. It'll drop it on Patreon tomorrow, and I'm considering giving YouTube a taste at some point down the road as well.

Now lets talk regularity -

I think that for a legitimate 'broadcast,' even if not live, some degree of consistency will serve us well. Back in the days of Johnny Carson, his most watched special was the 90-minute Sunday special and it came out like clockwork, so I wanna stick to two episodes a week. On Tuesday, we'll do a 'Tuesday Show' which is pretty much just a weekly video breakdown and general updates, and then our 'Sunday Special' will feature an in-person guest and a deep dive on a topic.

Anyway, for 5Cast #4, which I'll drop sometime next week, I want to answer some fan questions, so if there's something you wanna ask me (and I mean anything), drop your question in the comments here and I'll select 55 of them to answer on-air for our next Tuesday show!

I’d love to know your opinion on the Hasan/Ethan Klein situation? I know you avoid covering drama, but I’m referring to their political debates. ☮️🩷

alyssa manelinko

We got a discord up and running yet?

Virginia Hanna

What is your favorite movie you’ve seen and why?

Gustavo

is your girlfriend israeli? if so, what's her stance on the israeli genocide?

Holy Moomareb

Why is income inequality surging so much since Covid, and how is it affecting the average family in the US vs Europe? Can rapidly expanding economies in Africa follow a different trajectory, or are we simply killing the middle class everywhere? Also, is World War 3 imminent, and would the average, non military-trained person be willing to actively go and kill for his/her country? If it happens, will this conflict be fought in the trenches, or will we all just “push a button” to make entire cities disappear?

Federico Biadene

Are you hiring?

Ash Lake

what does Johnny Carson mean to you?

Louie Anderson

Are you a mudflooder?

NameJeffAlive2023

Question: do you fw Xaviersobased? What do you think of that wave of hip hop? Also, I wanna say, you've been a huge influence in the way I approach conversations and people. Radical empathy, really listening. And your honesty -- I disagree with some of what you say but I really like your honesty about your opinions despite your large platform. But yeah, I treat a lot of conversations in my life like a Channel 5 interview. So thanks <3

Any tips on helping disconnect from politics? It seeps into work, school, and family conversations especially these past couple months so it’s harder than ever to separate politics from my day to day stuff have a break from it all. It’s like watching a train wreck that you can’t look away from

Kayla Kaluzniak

Yo Andrew! What the heck is goin on?! Wait.. that wasn't my question. What are your thoughts on the Dark Enlightenment/Neoreactionary movement?

Jon Stewart

My little brother is homeless in the Vegas tunnels. I was nervous watching that one hoping either I would or wouldn’t see him in the background anywhere. I didn’t. But I just want to say your video on it gave me a sense of hope and a good feeling that there are people out there looking out for him. It’s good that even though he’s a heroin addict he’s in a community and there are programs offering him help. Thank you for paying attention and you have a life long supporter from me and my family.

Jim

Any future plans to do video content in Canada? I think something on the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver would be really interesting. Thanks dude 👍

Sean Roarty

what’s your favorite video that you’ve ever made ?

mar

What's your top 3 chip/crisp flavours ?

Kody

Just wondering if your are going to continue developing the theory you present on Dear Kelly about economic calamity inducing psychiatric conditions that make well meaning people vulnerable to conspiracy theories.

Ernesto

Do you consider covering up the far right in europe? I think most parties are like the Maga movement in the Us but especially germany is interesting with the afd which surges in the former DDR states

Florian Weiß

Hey, I’m in New Orleans soon for work stuff, any good bars I should check?

Ernesto

How do you keep your calm while filming in dangerous locations?

waturn

Read any good books lately? Do you fuck with philosophy?

Guillermo Mora

As next Tuesday falls on 01 April, what is your favourite April fool news?

Miki

While talking to people over text or comments, do you find yourself using any dated slang or phrases which could unintentionally show your age to the other party? I'm hella partial to swag, myself.

Brendan Pribil

Will you answer this question?

The Internet

How large do you plan on Channel 5 getting (in terms of international correspondents, side channels, translations etc.)? Also, if approached by a large financial backer, would you ever make Channel 5 not independent and have it broadcast on a streaming platform or network?

BlackCat49

When you are in potentially sketchy/dangerous filming situations do you think your curiosity gives you a sense of fearlessness? You always seem so calm and on the level, I wonder how you are processing your emotions.

james

What are your favorite rapers/musicians? Especially the ones that got you into or inspired you to rap at a young age

Daniel Chonis

What is the worst thing you've heard someone say?

eatthekiwiplease

Yeah sorry, I was jk. Whenever I see a potential misunderstanding I always lean into it. Probably a bad habit lol

ge

Haha! That's a question for Andrew, if he's free to talk about it. (Though there may be legal reasons why he should not)

DW

Sure I’m free to talk about it although I don’t know who Evan and Nic are…

ge

Have you kept up with the white twins from Marin? What are they up to?

Doug Shobe

To piggyback off your question; I noticed that when Andrew came back he was no longer collaborating with Evan and Nic. Are you free to talk about that?

DW

from all the areas you've interviewed which truly came off as the most memorable, scenery, people and the topic of interview.

RMPSHKR

She said that when the World Games came to Birmingham the city spent thousands trying to relocate people who were homeless. It did much more harm than good to the displaced here.

Al

Hanhong Pharmaceutical Technology began claiming a "long-term plan of cooperation" with the Wuhan Institute of Virology AKA 'Wuhan Lab' in 2012, mutually financing two unknown production sites that produced fentanyl precursors for cartels.

Channel 5

Hmm I didn’t catch that in the movie. I remember he discussed it before but it was some time ago and now that the dust seems to have settled I’m curious those thoughts post experience. And yeah, like I said, no pressure or anything. That’s definitely something id prefer to put behind me and Andrew seems to have done that pretty effectively

ge

What’s the scariest experience you’ve had while covering for Channel 5?

Sean Gates

do you think that there will ever be a streaming service that combines all the major services today into a second generation cable company

Carter Campbell

Not a question but you being on Dan Soder’s Pod was hella dope I wanna see some more stuff like that and MSSP

Ruben Garcia

Why haven’t you been on the Joe Rogan Experience?

Desert Rat Explorations

I think Andrew addressed it briefly when he came back from the hiatus and it's covered in more depth in the Dear Kelly film. I'm curious to hear more as well, but only if he is comfortable sharing.

DW

what’s the Wuhan conspiracy you’re refusing to talk about?

Brian Lee

also, excited for the zizian coverage i’ve been keeping up with that story. crazy shit

prod_tfm

Is there a topic/event you've been afraid or refused to cover, if so, why?

Goobzilla91

was there ever anything you witnessed during filming that was too fucked up or depressing to publish in one of your videos?

prod_tfm

Great question. There is going to be billions if dollars pumped into cleaning up LA for the upcoming Olympics. Curious to see how much of that will actually translate to alleviating the homelessness situation, long term.

DW

You mentioned shen yun, please do that

JL

Have you ever looked into the culture surrounding ‘exotic’ bully breeds or other designer dogs in your work?

Candelario Calderon

Which of your previous topics/covereage are you most interested in following up on?

DW

Most depraved sexual act you have witnessed?

Z

Are the guests strictly professionals on certain topics? Ik there wasn't going to be any internet drama, but wondering how general the public figures can get (organizers, activists, rappers, comedians, influencers) Anyways, Noah Kulwin from Blowback lol. Any Arizona-adjacent content stowed away in the Channel 5 vault? Any future coverage planned? Favorite stories?

Addabad

Was Hunter S. Thompson an inspiration or influence? If so, in what ways do you try to differ from him or emulate him?

Phillip Solano

In what way have psychedelics helped you the most and also harmed you the most. Add-on question to that: What do you think about full legalization of drugs in all US states (2 g's or less)? If so, what kind of regulation would be required if any along side programs for addicts and for first time/abuse prevention?

Ompacell

What do you want to talk about, Andrew?

Nick Selivonik

What city is doing the best to end homelessness and how are they doing it?- asked by my fiancĂŠ who is helping start a street medicine team in Birmingham, Al

Al

Yo Andrew! Long time lurker and finally a supporter with a steady job. Just wanted to ask you if you'd be interested in covering / documenting skater culture? I'm talking skateboarding specifically, even though it would be interesting to include BMX , scooter and rollerblading. Since you're on the West Coast and have a chance to film something that I might not know about Skater culture out there, I think it would be dope for your channel and audience. Still going to keep watching, and supporting yall 😊 Yall are some of the best reporters on YouTube, and I always find your videos hilarious and interesting. Much love Channel 5!

jaytm

Hey Andrew! Curious if you were to ever explore doing a video on the military. Whether it’s the military as a whole, or more so the members in it?

Fabio Caciel-Reyes

Do you ever consider starting a podcast again?

Circumnavigate

Please tell me you had someone at MAGA Spring Break. This year must have been an insane mix of K, Bros and random violence.

Walsh_in_Toronto

Opinions on Michael Moore? Really just wanna know if you think he makes great docs. Or maybe you hate him? Who knows… I know I’d like to. I personally really enjoy Michael Moore and you are like the more modern version for me. Hopefully that is taken as a compliment. All love ❤️

Psychmilk

What do you know about the book Foundations Of Geopolitics and it's alignment with current events?

a k tomasi

Any thoughts on the whole targeted individuals thing? Like ultrasound technology (for lack of a better word) being tested on low income peoples. Or perhaps it’s just a symptom of schizophrenia?

Gabriel Martinico

I am a zookeeper in New Orleans! I know you went to Loyola, what is your favorite bar in NOLA/what is your favorite Mardi parade

Sawyer Russell

Sorry to be hot button, but I wanted to ask about your hiatus and the allegations surrounding it. In general, I just want to hear your thoughts, especially coming from where you are now and back to being active but a few questions could be: why did you decide to take the hiatus? what was the biggest struggle during that time? What made you decide to come back? And do you give any credence to the idea that there was some element of conspiracy to it considering your HBO movie had just come out and it came with some definite controversies? Totally understandable if you don’t wanna talk about it at all. But I’m curious. that was a really bad time for you, your fans, myself, and for journalism on the whole. Very much glad to have you back and setting such a great standard for this type and all journalism out there. Thanks!

ge

What's the event/interview you've wanted to document the most have haven't yet had the opportunity?

Chadwick A Schmitt

Throughout the years, who has been your favorite rapper you’ve interviewed?

MAC

I know it’s a lot to ask, but I would love if Channel 5 had some coverage about the ongoing things in Africa. Sudan defeating a UAE funded coupe, the Gen Z in Kenya fighting back against their government for their futures, and even the forced labor going on in the cobalt mines of Congo. My question is, do you think Channel 5 has a future in covering ongoing major news in the second largest continent, where Western media has always failed?

ibesdidit

rip

Nick Selivonik

Who are some mainstream media journalists that you respect/ think do great work?

Jack Duffy

Thoughts on Cartis newest album? Banger imo

Nadir

You are our generations hunter S Thompson but not a prick. My question is how do compartmentalize everything you see? I see behind the curtisn of injustice alll the time and eats away at me. Any tips?

Slayem

Also not saying it's small scale. I'm saying it's small relative to your potential

Jhon Doe

It's always been a dream of mine to work for CH5! How does one go about getting into the crew? 😁

Biff Party

is there a project, besides Dear Kelly, that has been the most impactful to you? or just general comments on the psychological impact that working in journalism does. thanks :)

haley

What do you see channel 5 being in the future? Do you see a news station with your whole crew and whoever you pick up along the way? Or do you plan to keep it small scale? Whichever path you take, do you see crowdfunding as your main source of income in the future?

Jhon Doe

If you could expand on what you said during the last 5cast about leftist having a lot of social pressure to have the same beliefs as their peers that would be cool, also if you think there is something similar in their right wing counterparts.

Patrick

Do you ever plan on dropping your footage on your experience with the CHAZ back in 2020? I know you have mentioned how it didn’t go as planned but I would love to see what did happen!

Luke

Hi Andrew, with the recent threats to freedom of speech do you hold any concern for Channel 5 and the possibility of censorship affecting your platforms? Keep up the content, you spread a great message.

PParrot

have you ever questioned your gender identity?

Ig acc

Thoughts on the grateful dead

PJ Losciale

What do you think the future of our country is? Seems like no matter who’s in power there’s no real chance of success for the lower classes unless we upend and rebuild everything, but what’s your view?

Andrew Rapp

What's some advice you would give to someone young, let's say 18, who wants to follow in your footsteps with journalism?

Biff Party

How did you manage to collect such a vast amount of successful colleagues to do Channel 5?

Samantha Lee

Hey Andrew! My 17 yo daughter, Pickles, is inspired by you and would like to know if there’s any opportunities to have her interview other kids about shit going down..from their points of view. Might be cool

Glossypeach

What was a moment you felt most afraid during your time on the ground? Like you're life was truly in danger?
