5CAST (03/13/25) - Druski, R. Kelly, Ukraine, Greenland, Alaskan Psychology & More

Hey guys -

Stoked to say that thanks for all of your support, we got our whole news studio built with a custom-built news desk and well-lit green screen setup at our new headquarters in Los Angeles. I'm also excited to finally premiere our new Patreon-exclusive news broadcast, 5CAST, which will post twice a week, ideally on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We aim to cover internet culture, electoral politics, music news, and international conflict in a way that goes beyond the man-on-the-street format that I've been doing since AGNB.

I'm really excited about this new series and obviously it'll take some trial and error to perfect the craft but I figure that practice makes perfect so here goes nothing!

Enjoy

Aydan Simmons

LOVE this kind of content!

Annie Hanlin

We don’t fuck with custers!

Serg

"ideally on Wednesdays & Saturdays"... is what the text reads.

Joe

So when’s the next one?

Ryan Fisher

This was solid. Obviously a first take, and I'm sure you'll refine the patter over time.

Eli Gaultney

God damn everyone is paying five bucks to cosplay a critic apparently. Loved the weekend update feeling.

Guy

I guess you chose the wrong hour to report on the ceasefire deal lmfao

Adam Cade

I think you'll find a good middle ground. If this style is something you actually want to pursue. Maybe dive a little deeper into topics, cuz it would be cool, if you were more "professional" in these? Or open the line up to other people to comment "live", so you can rift, ya know? Putin doesn't want a temporary cease fire and will only accept a permanent one. Dalai Lama might be a cia plant?? Fun fact.. im currently doing repair work for the coast guards ice breaker. I lived in alaska for five years the winters sucked there, I worked night shift for two years while I was in deadhorse ak

Not a fan of the ironic, zoomer commentary

Andrew this was amazing

JT Wilt

This is great, definitely keep doing these.

Max Brenninger

Agyeman Nyanteh

this is less "inspiring" and more "not really a waste of time"

Ada

Excellent format. It’s nice to have some comedy interwoven with the serious journalism

katrina

Didn’t need the celebrity stuff. Everything else was great.

katrina

i love channel 5πŸ™‚

eryk

Really thoughtful, original response... just like this clip show shit fest!! /s Get an original line, ol man.

Avery Cisne

not an airport, don't need to announce your departure

Daniel Livingston

this seems like an outlet for you to be more yourself. I dont think im the right customer here but hey, it seems to resonate with some people.

mike kim

This is rad

Evan Rowley

This shit is πŸ”₯. Funny as hell, not everything needs to change the world.

Baby M

I'm out

Avery Cisne

So disappointing

Avery Cisne

What the fuck is this shit

Avery Cisne

Love the desk and weekly segments but the celebrity news is not it brother. Important stuff to talk about and you can still be funny talking about real issues not just cheap bits

Mr. Money 😏

Personally not a fan of celebrity "news" I don't think we need to be feeding them energy in the attention economy. Keep doing you, experimentation is cool, but I personally won't be watching any more vids like this.

wokeface

you should link with and interview "garys economics" on YouTube

The orange man is the terrorist

dope format

Shazzy HK

He did not deem β€œanti Tesla Protests” as a form of domestic terrorism…he declared the shooting, burning, and destruction of property at Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism. (Big channel 5 fan, but this was not reported honestly) please provide more info on this if I’m mistaken.

ethan steele

He was being sarcastic I'm pretty sure

Shawhin Layeghi

Watched that today. Whether or not you think left and right are good terms, or are destroying our minds, it's true that different news orgs, say, left vs right, report differently on the same events. Ground news (i think – i dont use it) let's you see these differences side by side.It's not just about left vs right. It's – x event happens, you see who says what about it, and you look at their biases + conflicts of interest to understand why

Shawhin Layeghi

I don't but I appreciate these comments

Shawhin Layeghi

Veryyyy good

Shane

I agree entirely

Jeffrey Shockley

Eh

i swear to god you make the final "Channel 5 Live Hollywood & Vine" like 0.1 db louder every episode

Awesome, I waited for a format like this for years! Keep it up! Hope we get a new merch drop soon and maybe another drop of the hitchhikers guide? I missed the last one of course.. 5 out

Leon

awesome bro! Love it!

James Hayes

Not really a fan of this new style tbh, I cant really tell what is a joke or not, maybe its just not for me

Matthijs van den Berg

With all due respect please make an audio file uploads of your podcasts in the future

Swampy

all it's missing is a weather report from a hot meteorologist 😍

Bryan R

bro what I dont think his political opinions are vague at all

Bryan R

Loved it! I understand the concerns about watering down the brand or being offbrand or whatever, but I think it's perfect for casual Patreon content. Fwiw I don't follow any snarky online newscasters so this is a fresh style to me and I don't think any less of it just because others do the same type of show. If Channel 5 turned into this exclusively I'd be sad, but it seems pretty clear to me so far that that's not the intent and this is just bonus content.

Chris D'Antonio

wait andrew had trump derangement syndrome this whole time? I thought it was just hallucination perception persistence disorder

Adam Dev

The R-Kelly song had me rolling 🀣

Mitchell Yeager

That impression.... for a second I thought you were overdubbed by Woody Allen!

Bro get some news sounds for a extra credibiliboost

Hugh Kearns

Ben Weissman

Bricks are hard to eat. Maybe Gary is suggesting a metaphor for the journalist's role in society - digesting the hard stories. In my opinion, this 5CAST is more like a insipid jelly donut than the fiber rich news diet I crave from C5 - which they excel at! Please, don't be a jelly donut, C5!

VtheBee

Congratulations!!!!!

Adam S

This reminds me of the old Phillip Defranco format - it's off your brand. I fell in love with your method of getting out there like an anthropologist, letting the people on the ground speak, and letting the viewer come to their own conclusions. This feels like you're telling us how to think rather than letting us come to it. I also did not like the celebrity news crap - it's not interesting or important. Lastly, the format of googling "news" comes across as super lazy.

Michael

Short term, Andrew is much more charismatic and funny than most internet show hosts and you guys would likely rise to the top of the of the newcast space in a years time once you iron out the kinks. Especially if these move to YT/Spotify. But I do not think there is a path forward with this that doesn't have long term impacts on C5's cultural cache, credibility, and relevance in the news & pop culture. There's a good reason everyone from Lefty Gunplay to David Seymour will sit down with you and you have been invited to be in stuff like the Backstage Passes music video. You will rapidly lose that reach if you guys pivot into newcasting imo

John Wagner

One thing that really got me onto Andrew and Ch5 was the lack of commentary and opinion of the journalist. Just giving raw views into parts of the world and communities. I do like how in the ICE protest vid, you actually applied some context and backstory though, as it added a lot to the subject. I just hope to see you remain unique in us keeping your political leanings vague, and reporting non partisan.

jacob turnblom

I hope it’s an early April Fools Joke…

Devin Wright

Don't see a need for this type of show from you guys at all. There is a surplus of blogger like individuals doing this exact kind of video show already for every slice of the political & pop culture spectrum and without fail they cultivate often strange, clingy, and off putting communities and are largely a waste of time, not informing their viewers of much besides dinner table headlines (see: h3h3, Philip Defranco, InfernoOmni, penguinz0, Ben Shapiro, Sam Sedar, NYT, Hasan Piker, etc etc ETC). Basically just trying to say I think you guys are much MUCH better than this and should avoid degrading the brand & Andrew into a talking head by any means neccesary. No matter how much you try to polish and make it your own, I believe the newscast format is inherently degenerative to the minds of the viewers (myself included). All that said, I admire you trying something new and will always appreciate experimentation.

John Wagner

as an alaskan we do not claim him

Ren

Finally some real news. I approve this

Robin Bergfeldt

How many cease fire agreements had russia already broken?

a k tomasi

Love it, more direction would help…

Sam Lawrence

More pls

Chuck

The cease fire is designed to neuter Ukraine's ability to defend itself, while Russia gears up for the final assault at the perfect time. Trump is a Russian asset. 100%

David Howell

Hey! Wondering what you think of friendlyjordies video on ground news and the problems with it (ie organising everything in the left and right scale) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfHx4CfKFqQ . Thought the video was pretty hard hitting and since they're a sponsor of yours wonder what your opinion is....

Orlando Closs

Can’t wait to see this grow! Idk who is more excited for this, me or Dan Soder lol

AJ

Idk bro check out @GoodWorkMB or @ashowaboutthenews on youtube they do this format but with more attention to detail. This is fine patreon content but feels a little lazy

Sarah Green

Im hype to this newscast and thriller to see it devellop

Niklas F

Calm down, Gary.

who, me

Dude yes this is so good. news and a some little giggles. Woohoo!

adam goodman

Is it psychology or philosophy? The video says philosophy but the title says psychology? (if you guys need any help, my rate is $600/hr).

B3RNi3

Great idea Andrew i will be watching !!

streas

holy shit, this is incredible. a news broadcast I actually want to watch! I don't fucking believe it

Nick Selivonik

This is more =3 than Channel 5

Davis Adam

This was heartbreaking. Play it straight for gods sake. The internet is full of snarky half baked jokey news. What I mean is I come to you for the REAL. I was so disappointed. But I feel like you could shift it into being something actually useful and interesting. Sorry to be negative. I particularly thought The stock joke images were unnecessary. And reading random comments and tweets as if they are β€˜reporting’ is hacky.

jimmyjeru

Looking forward to the future of this show! Much love!

Land on Earth

you're the best Andrew, but this is kind of cringe and almost seems to invalidate your other content. we need a rock to stand on, and this seems like it's in the wind.

Matthew Uribe

he's just sharing his opinion. grow up.

Matthew Uribe

tourist

Castly

Too much SNL, not enough Channel 5.

Paul Julius

I really love your content Andrew, but as a European I'd appreciate if you guys did more on the United States post cold war foreign policy, because I do believe that the ugly pressures of global competition are heavely impacting domestic policies in the USA. The western world is loosing its hegemony over the world economy, the BRICS states threaten to de-dollarize their trade, regime changes and heavy electoral interference by global players happen on a daily bases. I think there would be a lot to cover for you guys, considering how stupidly the offical narratives on foreign policy dive into the good vs evil dualism.

pas moi

Dont turn into keemstar!!!! Im jp

Max

Soooo stoked!!!!

Loop scoop pooper

Love the longer format journalism, but this is great as a quick and frequent touch point. I only take issue with the final comments around Ukraine and Russia. Trump has weakened Ukraine’s position to negotiate drastically and has strengthened Russia’s hand. Awful.

John

Andrew this fucking rules

Jim

Sick Quasi stickers

Ben Hardy

Had me giggling but definitely needs refinement if it were to be shown to a broader audience - great for the Patreon tho

Nathan Taylor

I am torn between Seth Meyers weekend report vibes, or a galaxy brain satire of how stupid legacy/basic news is. Maybe both 🧐

Zac Koch

goat talk

Hunter Posso

Yea maybe do some bigger news stories like local networks. Where you do interviews and or cut to anchors. Like have people on ask them questions. Then maybe for lighter stories do the thing where you read the articles live. Kind of like the college humor where they real the tela prompter without knowing what’s on it.

Joseph Meyer

It’s okay, but it seems very forced. Maybe go deeper on the facts and discussion. Maybe take your time it feels rushed. Slow down a bit. Maybe do smaller interviews like news networks bring people on. Maybe get another anchor as well and have this be more serious like local news.

Joseph Meyer

Great stuff. Trump want's to take over Greenland because it's a climate change safe haven with some of the last ice to melt.

Circumnavigate

Maynard is tool ask your dad

Sarah Dixon

5 cast news is legit

Becks

Thanks Andrew!

Kyle Kulper

Let’s go get some Persian food man

Sarah Dixon

Not really feeling it but keep cooking brother!

Michal H

Love 5 cast!

Adam P Rozycki

You the man Andrew

Mitchell Stroup

Lots of potential here! Room to experiment with styles of reporting you wouldn’t normally put on C5. Looking forward to the next one.

Ramon Hurtado

had a good laugh and i like that it’s a news report that doesn’t make me feel overwhelmed

Ashton

Play it more straight. We follow you because you’re an independent journalist not just another online personality giving their half baked take

cigarette

Nice

Stephen Hitchcock

SoundCloud link comparison was accurate

Shaniqua445

This is not it.

Sean O'Donnell

eat a brick man

Gary Aguero

I would watch this shit everyday - so informative. YAH fuck that Alaskan bro - MLK is not a loser bro. you are. PS don't beat your wife please

Gary Aguero

Woody Allen jokes slipped in there are great. I can't believe that guy had a dot gov domain with that crap on it. I'm fine with them taking it down in that case. He can put it on his own domain but it shouldn't be co-signed by the government on an official site.

bigchiefcrazysmoke

Oh this has potential

William Hicks

I'm glad you tried something new but I personally am not a fan of this segment. Seems much closer to what I've already seen and doesn't seem as intelligent as your other content. I hope the feedback helps Andrew

James Windau

Feels like Weekend Update, with a sprinkle of Connor O Malley. If you keep bringing the rawness of Channel 5… This could def strike the right chord!

Manuel Guerrero Zdeinert

Yeah I have a bible-thumber great aunt who lives in rural Alaska and you are not wrong

TreeBones

No, it was fun as it was.

William Wimmer

I hate to say it but I feel a little dumber after watching this. Not a fan - a few classic C5 insights here but rehashing pop/political headlines is just kinda boring - the internet is full of people giving their hot takes on whatever new story pops up. The google 3rd page concept was interesting, though. Find more interesting stories that aren't getting air time - and develop them!

VtheBee

I love your sense of humor and really enjoy the format of this segment. Looking forward to the next one! Keep it up!

William Wimmer

i’m so here for this

mar

Maybe I should be less sensitive as well :)

Brad

I dig the laidback format keep it chill

Zach Thomas

Thanks for the genuine question. I like the more personal, less planned and 'live' feel about this; Not everything needs to be super produced. It was still poignant and the topics and they felt important. A bit towards the later half it felt a little trolly, not towards any side (I'm Canadian) To give a concrete example of what I'm talking about that made me feel weird was around 9:15. I think this could have had a little more, information or things instead of a headline. Again thanks for taking the time and I appreciate yours and all of you over there's work and dedication to journalism. Have fun that's the most important part :)

Brad

Love the format, quick and informative causing me to look deeper into topics. The humor carried well (I especially liked the Woody Allen bit) and helped take me to the full watch time in my opinion.

Garett Ray

I really dig the "exclusive" comments from the likes of Woody Allen, allegedly. Came back to add: yeah dude, this is good. It's Entertainment Tonight mid dab, but it's shit I want to hear about. And Breezewood

Ryan

Last half was fucking gold. Looking up news on the spot was brilliant

Shawhin Layeghi

This was really awesome

Kody

thanks for the feedback. should I play it more straight??

Channel 5

Little bit too trolly, but I like the new format.

Brad

This is so fucking good! Love the editing style, love your commentary, love the simplicity. Everything just hits. And great choice of stories, I might add. In the future – could be cool to have newscast style interviews too "Well John, .... (etc)" "Andrew, you make a good point...." etc

Shawhin Layeghi

Just you reading the news like the second half of the video was good. Maybe with Susan or others present

Daniel

Loved it πŸ˜‚

Jesse Shay

holy moly I know I’m gonna love this. will report back post-watch

Lindsay Bremmer

Took really fell off since Dominican Republic show...

Gavin

Informative and entertaining. Fucking awesome!

Aaron Tracy

mfw the epic setup :D

haley

Is this a NEW golden era of Channel 5? Moreover, has Channel 5’s golden era ever even ENDED?

Calvin Little

Andrew is into quasi?
