C5 Relaunch

Hello Patrons,

If you’re still here, thank you so much.

I hope you know that your continuous loyalty and support is really appreciated and has not been taken for granted.

We are stoked to announce that we are back in action and will be producing new videos every week for the next 55 weeks. We've also hired a team specifically dedicated to producing early, extended Patreon cuts so that you all get access to exclusive content before anyone else.

As many of you know, Channel 5 is, and will always be completely independent. Your support on Patreon has been the lifeblood of our operation. As we move forward, you’ll continue to get exclusive, uncensored, and extended cuts of our documentaries, as well as access to our private Discord server, behind-the-scenes footage, discount codes and beyond.

We're looking forward to creating more of the journalism that you all enjoy.

Much Love,

Andrew Callaghan and team.

FYI -- we are experiencing some network issues with Patreon's uploader. Today's episode drops on YouTube in around an hour, but Patreon-exclusive extended cuts of today's episode will be uploaded to Patreon shortly and are expected to be processed and uploaded early this evening.

Glad to have you back Andrew

Romel Maldonado

glad to have you back Andrew

Lajos Hankó

Glad you're back Andrew. I'm sorry what happened to you. If you really think that you did something wrong then you have a right to redemption. Even if you did something shitty that doesn't make you a piece of shit. We've all done shitty things, and life is difficult and complicated before you put alcohol and drugs into the situation. You bring something important and interesting into the world, don't hide it.

Bradley Janse van Rensburg

I can't see any channels on your discord? How can I get access?

Ronnie Stelly

Fuckin love you dawg

William Stone

Me too

You handing out money now?

Shane Kocher

Totally unless you pay for a year and can't cancel and the creator ignores all messages. Totally.

Shane Kocher

glad u are back its been boring and grim

ditto sawr

calm down dude geez

ditto sawr

Happy to have you back! & I hope you got the help you needed as well. This channel is the only true journalism going on in this country.

CosmicTrashPanda

maybe pay for a monthly sub and cancel when you feel like the sub is no longer worth the money instead of getting angry at the person you irresponsibly threw your money at?

drishta

Welcome back!

DW

when i saw the free palestine vid i sprang up into action to start being a patron again. IM FUVKING STOKEDD

Ariana

Channel 5 til I die.

BDC Ky

The world needs you Andrew. Now more than ever.

Gabe Martinico

Welcome back Andrew. I seriously missed the fuckin shit out of you

Dustin Fox

Do you not know what this man been thru over last 10months?

Robert S

I paid for a year of content, you make no content for a year, then come back and say you are making weekly videos? This isn't independent media. This is scam artist BS. Collect patreon money and do nothing with it for a year, then just blow out with new content and it doesnt matter if your original supporters left, you can just find new ones with the high quality content we floated. Super disappointing. Super sad. If this is the future of independent media we are screwed.

Shane Kocher

Glad to have you back!!!!!

Tawnie Frances Harris

Glad you're back it's much needed

Horton

Not going anywhere!

Ethan Eppler

Never left. I believe in y’all. ✊🏼

So happy you're back! I have missed your radical empathy!

One Ogden

Deserve has nothing to do with it. He earns it with his brilliant work.

Joby Treegoob

So happy when I saw part 1 on you tube. Looking forward to seeing what's next man, glad you're back to work. Just sorry I didn't offer you my support sooner. Also I really enjoyed the tour before the movie premiere, so fun, hope to see more and you're back in Philly soon.

Joby Treegoob

Welcome back, soldier. 🫡

Ol’ Dustin

I saw a documentary about kids skating that he made that was very good. How do you know he’s no longer involved? I noticed he changed his signature but I wondered if you had more information.

Seth Holston

So excited for a new video every week!

jojo

Most likely he cannot give an update due to legal or court restrictions.. Andrew is smart and he knows what he's doing. And like others said, he doesn't owe his supporters an in-depth update on his personal life, as long as it's not affecting C5 then we good.

Dustin

Hell yeah, man!!!

Ada

I knew you guys would be back!

Bryce Hockenberry

Nic isn't

Sid Mullendore

I can't believe you commented this on their youtube video AND their patreon post you absolute lunatic. You know they aren't pro Qanon, right?

Laine Walker

Beyond stoked

Lee Knox

Dude I need to get you the actual video of Jacob entering the capital. I have his first several minutes where he walks through an open door and then walks with folks telling them not to steal muffins. I would hope that you are simply mistaken and not trying to hurt a great man. Not cool. @WeAre32937 on Twitter, I’ll post the video. Fix at least that. Chadwick didn’t say that, you clipped the video and inserted a mistake. Fix it.

Jennifer Swisher

Damn, I legit cancelled my sub just two weeks ago after keeping it active for this duration. But i reinstated that bish soon as i found out. Sorry i ever doubted yall.. love yall and stoked to see you back!

Dustin

so stoked to see the new content. it's obvious that Nic and Evan are still on the production team because it's so pure. you don't have to explain ish, just keep doing what makes you happy. we're here for it.

skevin

you could have cancelled and rejoined the patreon like i did unless you paid for the year

Blake

hell yeahhhhhhh was wondering when youd be back. we stand behind you Andrew!

Blake

Agreed, he needs to address his situation head on instead of just going back to business as usual. Kinda disappointed tbh. I’m going to unsub if I don’t see an in depth video about it soon. If he’s talked about it other places that’s fine but he needs to address it here, to his paying customers, I shouldn’t have to go search for it.

User 00001

Bro you hit unsubscribe if you’re not happy with the content upload frequency. Gimme your venmo and I’ll send you the ~$25 you had “stolen” to unsubscribe forever lol

djio

been needing some channel 5, ty

Danilo De Vita

don't be a baby @darkyamiyugi

MilesAhead

Glad you're back! Hope the 6 months did treat you well and I'm excited to see more

alexander Gustav näslund

I thought being a patron meant supporting the artists through rough times aswell as good times? At least that's how I've understood patrons of famous painters in history etc

phpTANKER

Even if you paid annually, that's on you and the risk you chose to take. It's not like he planned to go on hiatus ahead of time. He made a video on his personal channel saying he was taking time off. It may not have been appropriate to do it under Channel 5 if he wasn't the only stakeholder in the brand.

bigchiefcrazysmoke

It's not sexual assault, moron. Shouldn't even be part of the same conversation.

bigchiefcrazysmoke

He can't prove a negative, Einstein. And how do you know he didn't make amends personally? He doesn't have do it publicly or owe you anything.

bigchiefcrazysmoke

@Maddy gfy. You're the dumbass that stayed subbed and paying even though you're soooo offended and upset about it. The whole thing was an overreaction by virtue signalers like you and a couple girls that were pissed off bc they didn't call or text back the next day or ever again, and only after that did they regret what they did and wanted payback. I'm guessing not getting a call back is something you can relate to. He didn't R anyone, not even close. Not even in the same hemisphere and shouldn't even be part of the same conversation. Everything was consensual and consent was never revoked. Was it an asshole move? Yea, people can be assholes. Abuse, no. Be mad about it and don't watch, but attacking the content makes you look like an idiot because you know you were a fan before. It's obvious if you paid for it every month. And I can assure I'm not an incel and far from it, but keep resorting to ad hominems because you've got nothing else.

bigchiefcrazysmoke

that's a risk you take subbing annually, there are no guarantees of content and who knows he may have something in the works addressing it or he might not, but hes back creating content. Your main course of action is to unsub and talk to patreon customer support and make your case for reimbursement.

chain shot

@M.T. He did post about it on his YT channel and only about 100 other youtubers did a react to it. All you have to do is search his name.

bigchiefcrazysmoke

Many people decided to annually contribute before he went ghost. Not a single update was given or mention of a return. Why? Was it so people wouldn’t notice as easily?

DarkYamiYugi

What money did he steal? Patreon? It's a voluntary contribution to support them or not. You could've unsubbed like I'm sure a lot of people did.

bigchiefcrazysmoke

Where’s the part where you talk about the money you stole the past 10 months? Also, who is part of your “team” now? Are Nic and Evan still apart of Channel 5?

DarkYamiYugi

no commentary about the relaunch and ~10 months off?

Aldeeenii

Incredible

Papa Stevie

You're back so im back. So happy to be back.

Oakoka

Yeah, it’s “virtue signaling” to say sexual assault and sexual harassment are bad. Found another Andrew in the comments, hope women don’t have the displeasure of meeting you.

Garrett Rincon

lmaaaooooooo okay

Maddy

Blow it out your ass, virtue signaler

Richard Springfield

Blow it out your ass, virtue signaler

back in towwwwn!

Fair, added a note to the top of the comment!

Yann Leretaille

You don't know the joy I felt to see your video pop up on my YouTube. I stay re-watching old Channel 5 and All Gas No Brakes Videos. Keep on doing your thing. Much love from one Washingtonian to another ♥

Candie Estrada

Putting this in comments feels virtue signal-y. Reach out for real if you're in earnest

ann e

Where’s future of Q-anon? Fuck the haters I value the content

Matthew Tavares

We need the Kelly j patriot doc from the live shows finished up🤝

Adam baba

Ado

Where’s part 2?

Josh

Upon further reflection, you do have a fair point. It really depends on whether you signed up here to support Andrew as a person or Channel 5 as a project, as I did. If you are here for Andrew the person, these questions don't matter that much and there probably has been enough information posted online for you to decide if this is someone you want to support. If your goal was to support the work of the project, keep Channel 5 independent and allow continued work, they matter a lot. And people should be provided with enough information and accountability to decide if they align with the direction Channel 5 the project is taking and if they (still) want to support it with their money. But that includes information about what they money has been and will be used for, which would be answered by the above questions and some more information about the future plans for the channel. But you are right that it wouldn't be necessary if you are primarily here to support the person and not the project and work of the team behind it.

Yann Leretaille

LESGOOOO

Sheldon Schuhert

Bro I took edibles in anticipation of part 2

Riley

@Anthony When the creator and the content are so intertwined it's hard to fully separate both. Nonetheless, most of the questions are actually about the impact on Channel 5 as an organization and not about Andrew. Ultimately, if Channel 5 were to become successful and impactful to a wide audience again as before, it'd be essential to restore trust into it as organization again.

Yann Leretaille

Blow it out your ass, virtue signaler.

Richard Springfield

why do you think he owes you so many in-depth details about his personal life?

Anthony Airdo

nice essay amigo

itsRaw

Edit: It was pointed out to me in the comments that the context of these questions could be misunderstood. There currently is a lack of information about the impact this had on the project and how Channel 5 is planning to operate and what projects to work on moving forward. Being accountable as a project here would go a long way in re-establishing trust and helping people decide if that's something they want to support. I agree with some of the others here regarding a lack of information. While society should allow people to learn, grow and change, and ultimately *rehabilitate* from negative past behavior so that they can positively contribute to it again (as opposed to a purely punitive system) the impact on the Channel 5 project has been massive and I feel like you do owe your audience and especially your supporters a more in-depth update. I just don't see a future for this project without accountability. Some basic questions would be: What happened in the last year? What happened to your team? How have you dealt with the situation and what were you learnings from it? Were you able to identify the root causes and events that lead you into to this scandal? How have you changed? How will these changes impact your work moving forward? How are you ensuring that the Channel 5 project and the impact it has will be protected (and maybe isolated?) from further situations and scandals in the future? Lastly, what are your plans for Channel 5 - Is the format staying the same and/or are you taking into a new direction?

Yann Leretaille

just got outta work boutta watch !! ^_−☆

Alyssa Esquivel

Happy to support all that you do. Please don't work yourselves to the point of burnout, enjoy the process.

Garrett Maguire

Hell ya brother. Keep it 55th Street.

aintnoprophet

Love ya guy, glad to see you back

Beau jangus

wtf andrew. I thought you were ded.

Brad Lara

Bro just say you're an incel

Maddy

He's only shunned by dumb young women, sorta like the Johnny Depp trial

Cody Malcolm

I'm new, welcome back!!

Ninjachucks

Why didn't he post about that first though? I can't be the only supporter who would've given him a second chance, had he acknowledged it directly- Instead the Patreon went dark for the better part of a year without warning, and I personally had to find out from a random comment on the YT video. I came to find out he's been shunned by his C5 cofounders Nic and Evan, as well as Tim and Eric. I'm all for forgiveness and I don't mean to accuse, but this reads too much like a guilty party hoping people will forget.

M.T.

lol this is just the best

Sid Mullendore

So happy you're back!

Emmynette

Welcome back and hell yeah, Sundays!!!

Glad you are back. A lot of haters out there must mean you still got it.

Just joined the Patreon, glad to see you back. Much love

Matt Hedgecock

welcome home king, good to have you back

Josh Greer

That’s fair, and I don’t think he needs to prove that to us. I think that’s more for the people he’s harmed and who he’s personally involved with

J L

Problem will be solved if he's not an abuser anymore. The onus is on him to prove that.

Celesto

I’m so excited to see you back making content! The internet hasn’t been the same without you.

Seth Holston

Yes sir happy ur back man

George Walks

Q & A

Luke Morgante

I unsubscribed a long time ago. Guarantee Andrew comes back and hops on the “cancel culture” conservative rhetoric. Got a glimpse of it on that Jimmy Lee teaser.

Garrett Rincon

Very excited! Welcome back

Adam baba

“Abusers don't deserve anything“ is in direct opposition to letting someone change. Dude’s been in therapy for the last year, so I think he’s aware of what he’s done and how that’s harmed people. I think online spaces very much give us the idea that we need to constantly hold people accountable for their last actions, and I don’t think we need to do that here. Andrew’s described what his plan was to get better and was absent from social media for year. There’s a lot of work you can do on yourself in a year, so now he’s returning to what he wants to do with likely a better outlook. EDIT: Also, what he did was bad and fucked up; I will very much agree with you there, and that doesn’t mean he can’t change

J L

Coworkers and I always talk about when your gonna be dropping new content. You are literally the reason I even downloaded patreon. Glad to see yall back!

Tanner Wilke

Proud of your commitment to growth man - just focus on creating and learning.

Gratitude

Dude fucked up and fucked up bad, and that doesn’t mean he can’t do better in the future. We have to let people change, otherwise there’s no reason for the shitty behavior to stop. Dude’s been in therapy directly for his behavior, so I think it’s important to keep in mind that he’s willing to change and do better for himself and other people

J L

I’m super stoked you guys are back! Just yesterday I was contemplating canceling my subscription, so glad I didn’t!

Paul

Looking forward to whatever you end up making, Andrew and team!

galacticboy2009

I'd be happy to, he can go ahead and change. My critique isn't stopping him!

Celesto

Super excited! I am rocking the C5 gear today in celebration.

Brenna

Gotta let people change, dawg

J L

<3

kjo

I regret that I paid for a year in advance because you and your ilk don't deserve support. Find a different job. Abusers don't deserve anything! You didn't even have the guts or heart to apologize for real or try to make amends. The Channel 5 team are craven cowards for trying to push through this.

Celesto

Let's fucking get it dude. Learn from your mistakes and move on a better man. Excited to be a part of this journey.

Anthony Nittolo

Welcome back!!

Adrianos Roussis

Damn didn't realise I was still subscribed. Really regret giving you months of money. Fuck you, Andrew. Theres enough sexual abusers and shitty dudes making content, yours isn't special enough to negate the harm you've caused.

Maddy

Welcome back bro, hope you're doing well <3

Peter Wulff

I feel like a dumbass being subscribed this long. Thought I unsubbed when I knew there wasn’t gonna be any content.

Sebbe Loré

Let's gooooooo!

Adam

Glad to have you back. I hope you and the team are in a good place going forward. Have loved the content for so long, looking forward to seeing more!

Eoin O'Brien

How come you never gave an update?? Just took everybody’s money for months without anything.

AE

Can’t wait to see what you have cooking 🙏

Quinton J

Ayyy! Welcome back! Very excited for the future of C5

For some reason I knew it was a good idea to resubscribe earlier this week…
