0:00AHow did you guys first find out about Channel 5 or Andrew Callaghan? YouTube. Okay, was it, you know, like, like it was in your feed or somebody sent it to you? Honestly, I think it was in my feed, yeah. Fuck yeah. Do you remember, what’s the first video you remember from him, from them?
0:17BMost recent one that I can think of though, like, I don’t know about the first one, but something about LA, something about, um, Skid Row maybe? Okay, okay, yeah, I know what you’re talking about. Yeah? Okay, yeah, then it was that, yeah. Okay.
0:31AWhat do you think he does right that other journalists don’t do right? It’s a leading question, but I’m not a real journalist. Yeah, um, you’re not a real journalist? What the heck? Aren’t you doing --
0:39Baren’t you actively doing journalism right now? I guess so. My friend said a leading question. It’s a leading question!
0:44AI’m like, oh, it’s a leading question? Uh, no, I mean, like, yeah, like -- Thanks, I appreciate that.
0:47BI’m a real journalist. Yeah, like, I’m pretty sure journalism is what you do, so yeah. Yeah, it’s not like who you are necessarily. If you do it, you do it, but, uh -- Fuck yeah. I like that he shows up where people are at and he talks to them, you know what I mean? Like, you’re doing it right now, kind of, which is like kind of meta, you know, if you think about it. It is kind of meta, no?
1:04ABut I’m not a real journalist. No, but -- I’m a meta-journalist. Meta-journalist, yeah.
1:08BUm, no, but I think it’s cool that he, like, he just goes to places and talks to people. He doesn’t say shit about places he’s never been and then refuse to go there and continue to say the same shit, which is what a lot of people do. So, yeah. Pretty much it.
1:20AAre there any stories -- are you from Denver? No, I’m from New York originally. Okay. Yeah. Are there any things you think that are happening in New York or in Denver that you feel like he should be, like, covering, or someone like him should be surfacing that we’re not really seeing the real story on?
