Bro it's so freaking crazy that you got these brothers talking. Incredible journalism.

philly cheesesteak

Andrew, you and your team honestly deserve a Pulitzer Prize for your excellence in journalism. This isn’t “content,” this is real journalism that even the likes of Russell Baker, Donald L. Barlett, David Halberstam, Walter Cronkite, or even Tom Brokaw would be envious of.

44:30 guy in white t shirt who grew up in Kensington is a true gentleman and a scholar, as they say. Highly intelligent, college educated but stays there and helps the people who flock to his community. Someone with a smaller heart might have been more resentful or whatever. Glad to hear someone finally articulate the dirty real estate game going on behind Kensington, and expose Chinese labs behind powdered tranq. Balls of steel journalism bro, you’re more than a ‘content’ creator
-
Shout out to those local guys for looking after Andrew and his team and giving Channel 5 the security space to make these interviews happen. And for looking after the vulnerable people in the neighborhood.

This isn’t just “content”. This is real journalism. You’re doing the right thing, Andrew. You’re trying to tell all sides of the story, and you’re doing it in an engaging, informative, yet entertaining way.
-
This is one of the best pieces of journalism I’ve seen in a long time on YouTube. Thank you for giving the people suffering from this crisis a real voice, without sensationalism.
-
Thank you for this compassionate and informative journalism. I live in a part of Appalachia that’s known as the opioid capital. Everyone here knows someone that’s an addict. And we know countless people who have died from it. It’s sad and no one should have to experience the addiction or pain of losing someone to it. I appreciate you.

Man the ice cream trucks going off in the background while in the middle of a hellscape is mad dystopian. Thank you for raising awareness and for your incredible journalism Andrew, don’t ever stop.

After seeing how Andrew contacted the trank brothers, actually followed their directions to meet them, getting in their headquarters and hold a long conversation with them, I have nothing but respect for the C5 crew's commitment to the project. Not many people would manage to find their way into these situations, let alone consciously walk into such shady environments. It's unreal to me. Massive respect for all of the people involved in this channel
-
Man that ending with the ice cream, the way you treat these folk with such kindness is so foreign to them, made me nearly cry. Props to you man
-
That’s my brother. The one who is from Baltimore. I love you so much bro. Please come home and get better we miss you why are you doing this. I love you iam in tears I miss you please stop
-
Andrew has single handedly taken over the role VICE used to do. Absolute amazing work bringing these stories to us 👍
-
This man gathered more intel in one documentary than some investigators have gathered in their whole career😂 I love your work, Andrew! This is REAL work!
-
Andrew is showing us what top notch journalism looks like.
-
As an addictions and mental health professional, thank you for showing that these are human beings who are suffering
-
Please don't ever change your style of journalism. It is pure gold
-
The ending actually gave me chills, the happy music over the the people suffering was was dystopian as hell.
-
This is FANTASTIC reporting!! Way better and more in-depth than I was expecting.
-
Thank you Andrew, you're doing great work! Great to see you speaking with everyone about this and try to get a larger view of the problems. Hope that this reaches more and more people. . PS. It was so wholesome to see how happy the people in the end were when you bought them ice cream. Small things 🙏
