      Please don't sell VPNs as a privacy/security service. They're not, in the slightest. All they do is change your egress IP to that of another location. Websites still record your personal information. Networking nodes still record all access and cookies being transported. VPNs only provide as much security as the site you are visiting. your journalism doesn't lie to your viewers, so your advertisements shouldn't either.

    I don’t understand why mainstream journalism outlets can’t produce a story as compelling, well told, & unbiased to the extent where they’re able interview the literal source of the issue. For example, when Andrew interviews Henry Rollins who is drinking Don Q in front of the camera, in broad daylight. Andrew & his team are seriously a breakthrough in modern journalism.

    As someone who works in a liquor store it's crazy how much people spend on alcohol every week. We also see so many that come in every day, it's honestly sad. It's crazy to me how pop culture has normalized binge drinking and no one seems to care

      💯 Sad that wasn't picked up by Andrew given his new "omniperspective" approach. The prphibition in Ocean City is mostly respected, but only so far as it is known that there are other places and ways to have the desired fun. Laws are really just guidelines for setting boundaries in terms of what should be punished. The respect for and application of the laws is mostly up to the individual and a risk-benefit based decision.

    It's a wild place year-round, but each season has its own extremes. Locals work 60 hours a week during the summer and can barely enjoy their own beach.
    This is due to the seasonal overflow of eastern seaboard tourists and flooded economy into the resort town. Then, in the wintertime, most of the hotels and restaurants keeping the city alive CLOSE and we are left unemployed until the next summer, only to be overworked and underpaid again.
    It's a unique place and you'd get some dank interviews. I'm down to contribute anyway I can.

      It’s scary. I thought drinking couldn’t kill you until your late 30s or your 40s unless you drank too much one time and got alcohol poisoning. Nope, it can destroy your body much quicker than that. A guy I worked with almost died at 27 from his chronic drinking. To be fair, his gf said he’d been drunk everyday since he was 16, but still 27 is so young. He lived, and is doing great, he can just never drink again. Likely he won’t live till old age due to the damage however. It was a major reality check. I had been drinking pretty heavily since my college days (like getting drunk 3-4 nights a week) till up till recently, drinking probably a handle and two 30 racks every month. Since he almost died I’ve cut down on my drinking a lot. I probably have 30 drinks a month now.

    I love that this is based in my home state of NJ! But this video hit hard. I'm doing dry January right now and it's been such a difficult time for me. I began drinking at 13 and as a 30 year old am finally taking control of my alcohol dependence. I've been becoming more open with it because I was so embarrassed by it / it's such a normalized culture. I told myself I'd go to AA but a lot of youtubers including yourself have been making amazing videos like these and it's been my support reading comments/Watching.
    If you're struggling it's never too late to change your life! Support is in areas you wouldn't imagine!! Great video!!

      Have a few kids bro. You won’t have any time or motivation to get drunk. If you been able to afford alcohol this long. You can EASILY afford kids. I’m your same age, I feel it brother. God bless. Everything in moderation

    I love channel 5 but I hate how a CZcamsr is the most unbiased and reliable source of information and news

      Andrew has an overwhelmingly left bias and always has. Not sure where you're getting that he isn't biased.

    Beach week is crazy, they put kegs on the buses that go up and down the road that parallels the boardwalk. At least it was like that in 1995 lol.

    Holy crap, I spent a lot of time stumbling around Shenanigans over a decade ago. Glad to see the vibe hasn't changed lmao. Incredible break down of the illicit drugs vs legal drugs argument.

    Hey Andrew, have been watching your videos for the longest time and I love your style of journalism. How you cover any topic is just fun and interesting to watch. Please keep up the frequency of uploads as you have been doing lately and this channel will be very massive because nobody trusts normal media to give us an honest view of what's really happening in America.I never want to see this channel die.❤
