SneakerCon + WeddingCon 

The guy who traded the orange jordans for the shirt is a hero.

Okay that harp part with the baby was incredible - thank you for going the extra mile to include that CD track

They showed like ten awkward seconds of a NFT pitch and then went and bought a physical painting from a person on the street, that was poetic.

I'm so glad you traded for the art at the end. Everyone in the Con is just hustling vapid consumerism, meanwhile this tiny girl is outside lugging around her work, trying to make a living from her creativity.

"I already have shoes" is such a giga chad response to a sneaker convention lmao love it

The harp player is a legend, the live recording of his playing during his daughter's birth is legitimately great art and the comment about playing at divorces too was hilarious!

Hello Andrew, I was surprised to suddenly see this video as "unlisted." I hope all is well and thank you again for including me and my music in it. Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

Everything about this video was beyond wholesome. All those nerdy ass couples at weddingcon who seemed so happy, offering to film the wedding for free (hilarious), the harp players story, the guy that traded the shirt for those jordans, and you trading the shoes for the painting. Best creator on the platform

Actually artistic as hell to have the audio of your baby being born at the end of your album.

The dude getting married who was dancing was such a sweetheart. Best of luck to him and his soon to be!

"women, they fuck with weddings" is maybe favorite sentence ever uttered

"I'd say middle-east." Props to that guy for actually having a sense of humor lmao

“Believe it or not, I even play for divorce” Ah, the duality of a harpist

Loved it when Andrew says to the harpist "can I ask you a question" then he pauses and searches for the perfect question: "what's your secret" and it was off to the races. His interviewing instincts are legendary.

The surgeon-esque precision with which Andrew extracts stories and information from people is like nothing I've ever seen. Interviewing the harp player and then taking the time to actually seek out and play the part of his record that he was talking about, where his newborn cries over his harp playing in the delivery room; it really shows the value and care that Andrew gives to every encounter.

Love how the artist immediately put on the over sized sneaker and creased the hell out of them with a solid shuffle

You made that girl's day trading for her art man. Respect for that.

“We will film your wedding for free” is the best way I have ever seen someone invite themselves haha Sounds like a win-win though, no one could portray the wedding more realistic in its purest form than channel5

I love the harpist. He's playing at weddingcon and casually mentions how he also plays at divorces.

Men’s warehouse dude is solid. You could tell he was like running through his head “could I get fired for this? Screw it let’s have fun”

That harp player was so... Genuine and sweet. He seemed so excited to talk about his recording involving his daughter, which I genuinely think is honestly pretty beautiful.

Ass Pizza not understanding WeddingCon wasn’t for dating sent me to the moon 😆🚀

trading the sneakers for the painting was such a perfect conclusion. these videos are fucking art.

I know Andrew’s a good guy, but coming back to the girl and trading the shoes for her painting was the most badass thing I’ve ever seen him do. Great stuff.

Shocked by the return of AssPizza. A surprise surely but a welcome one. Love to see the channel 5 extended universe growing.

The vibes from the guy @ 5:09 are what I strive to be. Happy as can be, doesn’t even know what kind of shoes he’s got on, is extremely excited for his marriage evidently, and did one of the best dance moves of all time. Absolute Chad, would be his friend/10

Mad respect to Andrew and the artist selling paintings in a friggin sneaker convention. These are the kind of local artists we all should support. Love from India

I love the painter outside the convention. She has great energy, and real talent. She kicks ass 💛🧡❤

Harps are definitely one of the more underrated instruments. This was the most wholesome episode Channel 5 has done... We definitely needed a chaser after all the craziness this year.

It felt wholesome when that guy traded those jordan's. But Andrew going back to the artist just topped it off. You guys are amazing

Damn, Andrew Callaghan please notice the positive response being felt by literally millions of people in the comment section. This is what people really want. Media that connects us to all the different versions of ourselves. Media that encourages human diversity, with all its innocent struggle, flaws, and creative solutions all contained within the American diaspora. It really makes you realize that we truly are all the same despite all the radical and wacky differences. We need more of this. ❤️❤️❤️

Art Value: Priceless. Andrew Callaghan and the Channel 5 people are living legends. They are doing with journalism in the era of social media what Hunter S. Thompson did with his Gonzo style.

Love how Andrew supports the arts. Instead of going for money or some other sneakers he decided to trade for art. That's awesome man! Channel 5 for life!

This video was special. It felt so tranquil and warm. Wedding con segment was fucking amazing

Your journalism acts as a window into the worlds of these diverse perspectives. Super interesting contrast between the conventions, and the different types of people in and around them

I put this one off because I hated ComplexCon and didn't want a repeat of influencer content, but this was actually the most wholesome thing I've seen in a long time. Everything about this was just so fucking cool. This is definitely in the top 3 of his videos.

“Was you born drippy?” is one of the best lines of lines of enquiry I have ever heard. Thanks, Andrew and the rest of the channel 5 crew...

From Avia's to a priceless gem. Anything can happen at SneakerCon

The artist seems so chill, I'm so glad they're out there just doing their thing, it's fucking cool to see

And then he trades the shoes to the artist for the painting... BEAUTIFUL. God damn, I love this dude. NGL that ending had me tear a bit, what a great way to close the video.

walking round sneaker-con with no shoes on is a certified power move

Giving people credit, empathizing with them, asking their opinions, hyping them up about their passions, and somehow entertaining us all without really making fools or clowns of anyone. you guys really do it all. I love seeing these slices of the world I would never otherwise see

The fact that Andrew knew to ask about the Woods & the AB...great journalism. @10:40

love how asspizza vaidated andrew bringing up galaxy foams to the teens.. that is so funny

i love that when you guys "crashed" wedding con you werent rude or making fun of people, it would have been easy for a trash channel to use it as fodder for mockery. its so nice to see a popular channel just being nice in public

Talk about unexpected ending, all signs were pointing towards Andrew completing his quest for the Galaxy Foams and then wholesome moment. Legend

Bless that harp guy. What a lovely fellow

I love how organic and casual y'all are with tackling the participant-observer role. Everything Channel 5 puts out is some next-level social analysis as art.

Andrew never fails to get someone to freestyle

The way you asked about foamposites and that guy was like “are you stuck in 2012” and then you asked asspizza and he was down was just *chefs kiss*

“This is a diss to Zatch” I’m crying. Omg. “Drip is essential, bye” I can’t 😂

Andrew is the most underrated interviewer in the world. The guy has a natural ability to always ask the most engaging questions. Love the dude.

“I’m coming out this year as an artist” so proud of her

little did sneakercon know, all the drip was right above them at weddingcon

This video just popped up in my recommendations, I've been on your channel multiple times in the last week and I've never seen this video on RU-vid mobile. Today I finally got to, thanks for another incredible one Channel 5

The reoccurring characters that keep showing up in your universe is extraordinary.

“Yeah I thought there would be a lot more brides but this isn’t bad. A lot better than SneakerCon for sure.” AssPizza is a national treasure

I hope Cabbage Patch has a nice wedding. That was mad wholesome

I was waiting for the rap part and ofcourse you still managed to get someone to do it so casually :')

Every time I watch one of Channel 5’s videos I have no idea what to expect. It’s amazing.

There’s a hidden message in here about the power of trading real, tangible assets with actual people instead of trading NFT’s with rando’s. And supporting real artists. All of these videos hit on so many levels, it’s impressive

Mad respect trading up to that quality piece of art work. Congrats to her, to you, and to camera man for not breaking his neck when y'all let him fall down. Much love.

Omg, harp man made me tear up, what a real one.

the juxtaposition between weddingcon and sneakercon blew my sides into fucking orbit, one of my favorite videos from you guys

Legit, if Chance doesn’t hit y’all up to film their wedding, that’ll be such a missed opportunity

"What is your secret?" Is the first question Andrew asks the harp guy. Such an open ended question but the Harp guy had a response ready. Andrew knows how to get people comfortable to say what's really on their minds. His interview style is unmatched.

This…was probably my favourite episode ever. Just a great mix of interactions.

This is one of the best shows ever created. Thanks for your work channel 5.

Made me smile when Andrew traded the Jordans for the painting. It ain't easy being a painter these days, but whatever publicity she gets from this video can be enough to keep herself motivated. We'll see her exhibit in MoMA in a few years.

mad respect for coming back to that artist outside the con bro. That really must mean a lot to her that her art is in someones hands, and that they cared enough about it that you came back out to her.

9:15 I love how he zooms early ready for whatever hes about to say 😂😂😂

I love how did you two cons at the same time. Two vastly different subcultures, both of them I would never in my life "get". Just glad everyone is happy, cool, and chill.

Giving back to local artists… damn bro, what ain’t you doing in this world? Thanks for all y’all do

i love how the mens wearhouse guy actually answered when andrew asked him how the ring bearer got decapitated

Being genuine. That’s what makes this channel good!!!

christ, the editing from video, zooms, to audio cuts, just perfection as always. cheers

"are you interesting in the sneaker convention going on downstairs?" "uhh, no i already have shoes" this guy hes a keeper lady.

The narrative structure of this one was so complete and so positive; it's a legit change from what you expect from Channel 5 but it more of a "surprise, lookit the range on these people"

i just love everything you stand for andrew you’re a really good soul

Theres just something about Andrew that just causes everyone to be alright answering his questions, regardless of who they are. And even if they may be taken aback, even if they seem against him, he’s just a neutral energy. A perfect conduit for asking the perfect questions. Andrew, the perfect person for asking people random questions.

Andrew and crew highlighting some really genuine and kind people here. Shout out to the cabbage patch dude and Boise dude for sure

Andrew isn’t a regular interviewer, he’s the type of interview to trade his shoes away for a shirt and then a painting knowing full well he probably was gonna walk out with nothing but socks on his feet. Mad respect

I think my favorite thing in this video is how relaxed Austin was. In the other interview he seemed a little uncomfortable but seeing him just chilling and goofing was really nice to see.

The crying daughter story gave me chills, in a good way. GREAT WORK CHANNEL 5!

The way Andrew just goes along with whatever people suggest and gets incredible content anyway is testament to his skills. After his Hot Ones episode where he mentioned Louis Theroux being a big inspiration, I am seeing it in everything he does. He really is Theroux for a new generation.

I love how the guy said "I'd say it's the Middle East..." like "C'mon, quit playing around, wise-guy, you know the mannequin was decapitated in the Middle East..."

The wholesomeness of this vid is refreshing compared to the last few lol. Keep up the awesome work Channel 5

Andrew, the way you present things and interact with people is outerdimensional. The more I see Channel 5 the more I think you are a genius of this new generation

That harp dude and I have something in common yo, we both played what we were good at in the hospital room while our wives gave birth. L4d2 really was a great game.

You had me thinking, "wow this guy is a genius trading his shoes and finessing a pair from conversation". then I saw you trade them with that Painter artist girl and I was touched deep in my soul. Thanks Andrew to your reporting and also cheers to asspizza from another Austin. idk man that shits emotional had me drip tears lol. Support your artists guys and never give up creating.

This was such a great video. I love the insane protests and events. But something much more tame and wholesome hits so good

never a weak upload from channel 5

guy recorded his Daughters Birth and sampled it for the last song on his album what a legend man

AHHHH THE WEDDING CON IS TOO WHOLESOME AHHHH HELP ME! When harp guy said love, I screamed internally.

Most incredible reporter ever. Just so entertaining and informative.

this channel has such a good ratio of subs to views sometimes. really shows that the only ppl who sub to this channel are the ones who REALLY fw Andrew's content. And also shows how consitent channel 5 is with putting out interesting stuff

Always love when two cons are booked in the same venue. Tattoo convention + anime convention sometimes line up around here, and that building is full of characters.

I was expecting Wedding Con to be cringe but it was wholesome and quite sweet.

I love how supportive the sneaker heads were at the convention.

The people at sneaker con and wedding con absolutely the nicest most normal people I've ever seen on Andrews channel
