Outside Andrew Callaghan’s live show in Denver, fans of Channel 5 are asked what he actually does that other journalists do not, by somebody trying to learn it. Andrew is inside. This is the queue, and it turns out the queue has thought about the question.

Priscilla is a fifth-generation Texan who brought her husband because he is the fan. Her question for the world is about the balance of consumption and creation: “If you had unlimited resources, what would you create?” Her reasoning is that creation “comes from a really special place,” and that everyone has access to it.

Casey found Channel 5 through one episode and describes exactly why it worked on him. “It was professional. It was respectful. He asked the right questions, and he let the man hang himself with his own rope.” His advice to an aspiring journalist is the most practical thing in the piece: “He keeps his cool for the full hour. He never gets flat.” His question for the world: “Why aren’t we doing better as a species?” And his thanks, which is the fan relationship in one line: “I like to think that I can do it, but I can’t, and this man does it for me. Thanks for being my avatar.”

A group of longer-term fans who go back to All Gas No Brakes give the craft answers. “He found his niche thing, but he just keeps pulling for the thread.” “He gets the details down. You see every side, and he’s very down the middle.” One remembers the greyhound racing episode, and the moment in it where Callaghan admits that however hard you try to be unbiased, you end up liking some of the people you talk to more than others.

Their questions for the world: what is your dream, and what makes you happy.

The last group are trying to get a friend’s ticket airdropped before the doors close, and one of them says he started a YouTube channel because of Andrew. Asked for a question to send around the world, he gives the one that runs under most of this archive: “Why is it so hard out here to make money and keep it?”

1:08BNo, no. I can see that you’re with me here.

1:10AHell yeah. And so how did you first find out about Andrew and Channel 5? That’s a good question.

1:18BI know about a lot of these things because of my husband. He’s really plugged into this type shit.

1:26AI looked up on on Claude AI what are questions I should ask and something the Claude was saying was that it’s mostly men who follow who follow Andrew and channel 5 and then their partners often has find out it’s like someone’s review of attending one of the events

1:40Byeah yeah I brought him here because I knew that he liked it

1:42Aoh that’s sweet I love that yeah yeah are you from here in Denver

1:46BI live here

1:46Aokay you from here originally no where you from originally

1:49BI’m a fifth generation Texan fifth

1:51Ageneration Texans y’all been around

1:53Bbeen around

1:54IYeah.

1:54AOkay. Are there any stories between Texas or here in Denver that you feel like aren’t getting enough coverage or aren’t being done justice that somebody like Andrea should be servicing to the critical consciousness of an audience such as this? Did you get that question?

2:08BNo, I got you. I got you.

2:09AI don’t talk too fast, Marianne. I’m just kidding.

2:12BYeah, Marianne. What do you even know?

2:13AMarianne, you know a lot. Shout out to you.

2:15BI’m sure she does because she’s a woman.

2:18AHappy ... It’s Women’s History Month? Is that what month it is? It’s April now.

2:22BIt’s Women’s History every month.

2:23AHappy Belated Women’s History Month. Oh, every month. Okay, let’s go.

2:26BYeah, every month. You know, I’m just surface level right now. So if I can think of something that’s undercovered. It’s a stream of consciousness.

2:39ADon’t stress, like, I don’t know enough. You know enough. That’s the reason I’m asking you.

2:44BI know enough. No, I know enough. I don’t know about this.

2:51APick one thing. Pick one thing. What stands out to you as not getting enough coverage in the world right now? Cloud

3:01BAI didn’t have some good...

3:04CNo, no, no.

3:05AI’m here to ask the people, right? I’ve been doing this project. We’ve been giving out $100 a week for people who go out and ask the question of the week that we’re doing. It’s like on this crypto platform. We’ve had people, like I said, around the world participate. And so every week we ask a question. What’s a question you would ask people around the world?

3:19BNo pressure.

3:22Gpressure?

3:22ANo, I’m all pressure on the spot.

3:27BI guess like if you had unlimited resources, what would you create? You know, there’s, there is this like, um, philosophy or hypothesis that I like to follow. That’s the balance of consumption versus creation. Uh, so the more people create, the more we put in balance that dichotomy. And we want people to be creating more than we’re consuming because creation comes from a really special place. Obviously, women have the anatomy to create life, but the same energetic center resides in all of us, no matter what kind of anatomy you have or identify with.

4:08ANo, shout out to you. That’s a good take. That’s a good take. See? I know you had everything we needed. There’s something. Do you see what’s going on in the world right now?

4:15BHe is my world right now.

4:18AOh, you’re the world right now. What’s up? And you pull up in real time. All gas, no brakes. All gas, no brakes. Real time. Action. Let’s go.

4:25CaseyWhat’s up?

4:26CHow are you doing?

4:26BThis is my man. We’re doing an interview. This is Maceo and this is Tim.

4:29EWhat’s up, guys?

4:30BYeah. What’s up? How are you guys?

4:30AWhat’s your name?

4:32CaseyI’m Casey.

4:33ACasey? Hell yeah. Tell me your name again. Priscilla. Priscilla. Hell yeah. Casey and Priscilla. So I heard you’re the one, you’re the big fan. So how did you first find out about Andrew?

4:40CaseyOh, man, I was looking for a good independent journalist, and my buddy just couldn’t stop talking about him. And then I saw him absolutely mong clavicular, and I just had to come here and see the show.

4:52DI had to.

4:53AWhat did you think about that,

4:54Bthe Clav episode?

4:54CaseyI mean, it was exactly the right way to do it. It was professional. It was respectful. He asked the right questions, and he let the man hang himself with his own rope. It was beautiful. It was art. It was art.

5:03AFor people who don’t know who Clav is, who’s Clav?

5:06CaseyOh boy, he’s the look-maxing guy, I think. He does the cheekbones and he’s all like, I gotta be all muscular and TRT’d up. And he’s just a soulless, empty vessel of good looks. And we saw him for what he was, and that’s why I appreciate Andrew.

5:20AOh yeah, so I’m an aspiring journalist like Andrew. What’s something that you would say he does really well that I should keep in mind?

5:28CaseyHe keeps his cool. He keeps his cool for the full hour. He never gets flat. Like even remember we saw Jonathan Swan get flustered by Trump’s bizarre answers, right? He’s iconic for his meme for that. I’ve never seen Andrew do it Keeps his cool.

5:42AYeah, if you could ask people around the world one question, what would you ask him?

5:46CaseyOh No Why? That’s it. Why what are we doing?

5:53ATell them that is human nature But no, why what?

5:58CaseyWhy aren’t we doing better as a species? That’s the question I want answered, generally. So if he can get to the bottom of that, I would love him forever.

6:06ALet’s go. No, no, I’m going to do it. Screw you, Andrew.

6:08CaseyYes, please. Gigatech,

6:09AI like that. Why are we like this as humans?

6:13CaseyWhy aren’t we doing better?

6:14AOh, yeah. Any other message for Andrew as a fan?

6:16CaseyKeep doing what you’re doing, brother. Thank you so much.

6:18AWhy do you appreciate it?

6:20CaseyDude, it’s not easy. If everyone could do it, we all would do it. But he can and he does, and he chooses to do it. And, you know, like, I like to think that I can do it, but I can’t, and this man does it for me.

6:30AThank you.

6:31CaseyThanks for being my avatar.

6:32AYou want to interview somebody out here right now? You could do it.

6:34CaseyOh, God, no thank you. I’m about 27 rips deep on this guy right here, so.

6:39AIt’s a mental blocker, but I hear you. I hear it, man. You’re not

6:41Glocked in.

6:42BThank you so much. No, it’s so

6:42Caseynice to meet you, man.

6:44AYeah, thank you.

6:45BYeah, take care.

6:46DHave fun. Hey,

6:47AI’m Snack. I didn’t forget. Respecting personal space, man. Enjoy yourself. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Could I ask you guys a couple questions before you guys head inside?

6:58IYeah, sure.

6:58AYes. Fuck yeah. My name is Maceo and I’m out here shooting for my YouTube page, We Them Media. Can I hand one of you the mic? You can pass it around. Sure. So how did you guys first find out about Channel 5 or Andrew?

7:08CI watched All Gas No Brakes.

7:10AOh, an OG fan. Let’s go. I don’t name it. Other people name it.

7:13CYeah. I haven’t seen it in a hot minute, I’ll be honest, but yeah, that’s how.

7:16AOkay. What All Gas No Brakes content do you remember? I was just telling them- He’s coming back into circulation.

7:23CReally, like, I like learning about different subcultures and different unusual types of people who are living their life their own way. And he had a really open way of, like, finding those people and figuring out, you know, what made them tick. And I really like that.

7:39AFuck yeah. He goes and gets their perspective in real time. Yeah, yeah. Fuck yeah. You can come in. You can come in. It’s all good. It’s all good.

7:45FWhat about you? I feel like I didn’t see all guests on breaks, but I’ve definitely been following online for a while. So it’s on Instagram, but kind of catch those clips and then go for the full videos and things like that

7:59AOh, yeah. What about you man?

8:00FI don’t know anything

8:01ASo are you feeling excited you feeling nervous you feeling like from Iceland Trump’s trying to buy that place, right? Hell yeah, hell yeah, and so do you guys have anything you would say to Andrew

8:20FJournalism is pretty sick. Been a fan for a while, and he has a really cool way of getting ground reporting, and it’s really cool.

8:32ASo, Ray, I’m an aspiring journalist, man on the street right now here in Denver. Sorry. What’s something that you would say he does really well that somebody like me should take note of?

8:42FHe found his niche thing, but he just keeps pulling for the thread. He keeps following up a story. You know, so I feel like just that drive to keep like looking for the next facts and get a better understanding of the situation Oh,

8:55Ayeah. Oh, yeah

9:01DI love when Andrew goes up to some really kooky person and he just says like how are you

9:06Aand then the person Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That’s expensive. He just did it. Hell yeah, hell yeah. He opens the door. No, no, ask the next question. You’re the interviewer now. You got it. You’re holding it. You’re running it. Declined. Sorry. But yeah, man, what’s your take?

9:23IYou were saying earlier. He gets the details down. You see every side, and he’s very down the middle. He shows opinions, but not a crazy opinion. be a journalist. You have to see everybody’s side. I don’t know. Look down the middle. Have some crazy takes. Have some hot takes. Have some good takes. You have to engage.

9:45ADo you have a favorite video of his that you’re like, wow, this is like peak, peak, peak?

9:50ENo. I like

9:53Ithem all.

9:53GI got one.

9:54DI was going to say his Greyhound video was super interesting. The bus? The racing? No, the Greyhound racing. Dog racing. Yeah, he covered Greyhound racing in West Virginia, I think.

10:03AYou’re a greyhound now. You’re the greyhound.

10:05DHe adopted a greyhound after that. So, but I was going to say, like, he’s, during that interview, he talked, or, like, during that episode, he talked about how, like, he tries to be very unbiased, but eventually you start, you start to get biased anyway. Just, like, talking to those people who you like to talk to more. But I thought that was super interesting. But he also just, the bottom half of that, like, the last bit of that interview, he just talked to some random dude at the cast station. for like five minutes and just gets the craziest, most genuine take, not even about greyhounds or anything at all.

10:05DAnd those hidden gems that he finds and the people he talks to is just so cool. And I think he does a great job at that. I don’t know. He’s... That’s my shit.

10:49ACan I ask you one more question? If you could ask people around the world one question, what would you ask them?

10:53DWell, am I going to get answers to it or is this just a question to pose a thought?

11:00AWe have people in India, Nigeria, Kenya, and Uganda we went on asking questions the last couple weeks. Like doing this video journalism shit.

11:05IWhat’s your dream? What’s your dream? Live your dream. What is your dream? And then picture it and live it. That’s my question.
