Adam only admired Andrew because he got to wear sneakers and be rap in front of black guys

Getting too canceled for TAFS is very funny.

Documenting Adam shitting his pants was legit a journalistic view into the dark side of American culture

Get Andrew and Roiland on as third and fourth mics for the show

The sigma move would be to invite him now and act like nothing happened.

nick mullen going undercover in the hermit crab reddit is one of the most important pieces of journalism our generation has produced

He interviews 'bumper stickers', perfect description

Damn, what a shame. Get Justin Roiland next

Nick claiming to be out of the loop is comedy Gold.

“All Gas, no brakes.” Is the perfect name for a guy who can’t accept the word “STOP!”

I'm 100% certain that adam was a huge admirer of andrew and now acts as if he didnt know about him at all lmao

At least they secured the Virgil Texas interview

Callaghan's editor is the unsung hero of his show...

LOL Ariel Pink being involved in this is hilarious to me. I love his first 200 albums.

I think there is a distinction between what Andrew does and what people say he does. Saying he’s the greatest journalist of our generation really means nothing. That being said his format was always super interesting as a peek into a side of weird america but it’s definitely not the first time someone has interviewed someone and didn’t cut them off when they went on a rant. Saying “oh this is so disappointing” is just people who formed weird a parasocial relationship with AC and thought he was their friend or mentor. I know you guys know what I’m talking about because you all think Nick Mullen is your best friend

Nick and Adam pretending they don’t know what Channel 5 is after Andrew got cancelled is like watching a Morning Joe segment.

Lmao Jesus both of them trying to prove that they don't know who he is. Classic

"Those guys will say anything" "Nah now we have rent" Sums life up perfectly

I love that nick acts like he isn't on twitter all fucking day

the hoff twins vid is goated, but andrew wasn't even present for that one if i remember right? anyway nick kind of hits upon the compelling nature of channel 5's content when he says that this side of america has been "drilled down our throats as this dangerous threat" but the way andrew's interviews are conducted and edited works to humanize whoever he's interviewing, as they are also-to varying degrees-victims themselves. he's not slapping them in the face with "don't you feel bad for the police officers who lost their lives during the capitol riot, sir?!?" the way CNN would, nor is the goal to overwhelm them with gotchyas or make them look dumb like jordan klepper does. nick's right that gonzo journalists, journos at vice, and people like louis theroux have been doing this for decades and it ultimately isn't revolutionary. but hey, it's what's popping right now. also nobody else is getting alex jones to lift weights with them while in character. i'm gay for that shit.

"Hes an ally to women When he's marching in the streets But be careful ladies, Because he is a creep in the sheets" LMAO every time

the more I hear about this Andrew Callaghan guy, the more I don't care for him

I love how Nick always is like … nah I’ve never really listened to JRE - or idk what channel 5 is - but spends too much time on the internet & knows trivia from it

also, this guy is not nearly as empathetic and people make him out to be, hes actually shitty towards a lot of people. They did a Catalina Wine Mixer video that is pretty awful. Also, ive noticed that what a lot of people admire about him is that he just goes around and talks to random people and doesnt react when they start acting crazy, like its just a general life skill that I think young people on the internet too much tend to think is some kind of admirable superpower when its really just knowing how to interact with a wide range of people

Kanye, Roiland, Callaghan all joining Virgil Texas' new podcast

I like Channel 5, but I've seen Andrew Callaghan be compared to Louie Theroux, which I think is kinda dumb because Louie makes actual documentaries. He's pretty professional in his interviews and is able to ask better questions while still maintaining his position on the subject. I think his stuff is more engaging as journalism even if they both are entertainment. I think the "greatest journalist of our time" thing comes from most fans of Andrew literally not reading articles or books.

Andrew changed my whole life by doing cameras

"He just interviews fat people" why am i laughing so hard

The rkelly joke was one of the worst ones adam has ever made

Andrew himself was never that important to the work he did. He made some engaging videos, but if any random guy interviewed the people he did they could have been just as interesting. Someone who isn’t an idiot desperate for sex should probably see that there’s a niche to filled.

Its legitimately funny how it took the dude being accused of predatorial behavior for everyone to realize his "identify the biggest freak in the room" schtick wasn't authentic unbiased journalistic intent lol

If only Adam said "run train" a 6th or 7th time, I feel like that bit was about to really take off

i wanna come on the show!

Hunter S Thompson isn't the worst comparison. He also beat his wife

Trashing Andrew's content based off how highly idiots praise it is idiotic, idk about him being cancelled but saying its not entertaining because some people take it too seriously seems pointless

Dude it sucks him as a guest would have genuinely been a great episode

Nick fuckin nailed it describing what this guy actually does. It’s just man on the street bullshit talking to insane people and some how he got that to pass as journalism.

i also noticed how keen a lot of viewers and fans were to call praise for what in the past would be considered the bare minimum or even mediocre journalism

Such a great take on Andrew! Was thinking the same thing after watching the doc on HBO

"They're acting like he did Spotlight" 😂💀

Andrew and Adam have both met the witten so they have that in common

“Respecting on that guy.” Some real cool Adam lingo that I need to incorporate into my life more, so I can be cool like Adam; soon-to-be-host of a center-Left talk show.

"If everyone's heart was examined, it would be an ugly world"

Andrew’s main “talent” if you could call is that is definitely just his willingness to give anyone a platform and let their actual words speak for themselves. Which is a nice change of pace compared to what cable news is.

Thank you. I was a fan of his vids but would cringe at those comments calling him the only real journalist.

I think what people mean when they say he was groundbreaking is that even if he literally never asked any questions on camera, he was actually getting up close to events and people that is only traditionally covered from afar, like the camera guy filming the blm riots from like a bridge a few blocks away while he interviewed a dude in front of a burning building.

Now is the perfect time to get him on, first interview after this, but don’t mention anything about it

Great takes actually....thanks guys!

Knew something was off when Andrew overreacted to Tim Dillions critique of his “profession” and how he gathers content. Still a shame.

makes pretty funny content sometimes, wouldn't call it ground breaking journalism lmao

Adam Friedland is the greatest journalist of my generation

This is the greatest analysis of that channel

The People’s Convoy and his movie are genuinely great achievements, among a few others. Most of the rest are just funny content

Ah man Andrew I miss his personality of saying nothing and holding a mic, what a journalist

i get all my vague news about people i don’t care about from the newsrooms of the adam friedland show

“I didn’t know him” sure buddy

I’m searching “the hermit crab forums” in attempt to find some wild conspiracy forum, only to find out it’s literally just about people and their pet hermit crabs 😂

I feel like these are the two white dudes whose conversations I'll binge for the next few weeks

I need to find out where he broke the hermit crab forums story

It’s so funny they won’t say it, presumably they didn’t know and weren’t with him being like go man go

wtf is the hermit crab forum

He really felt like he had the sauce

Insight on the hermit crab thing?

andrew's schtick was identical to louis theroux's, just that he was a young millennial american guy into sneakers and rap instead of some john oliver type

Great points, shoutout to friend of the show Ariel Pink

Interested in hearing what these two think journalism is

I watched Andrew cry that he did shrooms once and got “brain damage”

and we're back

Can someone explain the hermit crab thing?

Hunter S Thompson didn’t attempt the Ali/Foreman fight but still wrote about it, so the comparison is somewhat apt.

It's not groundbreaking compared to the UK for example and Louis Theroux but more based on a format for modern meme culture. It's pretty impressive how entertaining his videos are.

Andrew looks like Rocky Dennis from Mask.

Kudos on the R Kelly streamer joke

Where can I find this hermit crab bit

Get him on now. 🙌

Friend of the show Andrew Callihan. Also, the Good Liars do exactly the same shit as Callihan and no one seemed to notice.

When the shitheel of journalism won't even come on the shitheel of podcasts 🤣

"one of brandon wardell's sneaker friends"

He was basically the Borat of this generation, funny and entertaining until it isn't and then it got old.

did nick not get that the first comment he read was a breaking bad joke?

They should get John Maus on

LOL at Nick editing his bad bits out

The first time I listened to the show in months

what is the hermit crab forms

Nick turn the volume up on the clips

Pink and maus are friends of the show?!? ❤️

Hey Adam, what's his name?

"run train"? isnt the encyclopedia brittanica syntaxt "a train"?

God damn it. It’s about fucking time someone said all of this shit

I love how these guys start out with saying they have no idea about this guys work, and then proceed to talk about what a shitty journalist he is based on the brief clips they watched. I like Cumtown a lot, but Andrew is an overall better content producer than them.

Fkn A. They got Justin Roland and Andrew Callaghan on the same day? F

For me it's weird to see the word TAFS, because it means GROPE in my native language.

I liked Andrews stuff because it gives me a glimpse into these inane worlds filled with crazy people without me having to use facebook.

“One of these zoomer’s” 😂

cool moral positioning here. I love a game of chess

You guys takes were very clearly from the mouths of people who have done little to no research on andrew or recent allegations. I genuinely don’t know how y’all talked for 10 minutes without saying anything of value.

goddamn these guys are so cool

I love channel 5 idc. Crip mac was a great find

this place rules was pretty based ngl

why not still have him on?
