#425 – Andrew Callaghan: Channel 5, Gonzo, QAnon, O-Block, Politics & Alex Jones

No. It was all real life reality TV documentary. But it caught the attention of a larger company called Doing Things Media. Yes. And they contacted me pretty much like a week after I graduated from college in the May of 2019. And they said, hey, like, how would you like to produce a show? I was like, what do you mean? They were like, we'll get you an RV. We'll pay you 45K a year.

You get to pay for gas, for food, for two hotels a week. Go out there, make content, and we'll be in the background just powering it all.

Yes. I mean, All Gas, No Brakes was named after a book that I wrote called All Gas, No Brakes, A Hitchhiker's Diary, which chronicled the 70-day journey that we were just talking about. It's a tough book to find, by the way. Oh, yeah. There's only a few copies left. I'm thinking about doing a reprint at some point down the line, but I sold off the last 100 copies like a month and a half ago.

Typical. This guy knew it. That's the real science. Yeah. Anyways, so the idea of All Gas No Brakes as a show was to combine the... I guess, road dog ethos of the All Gas No Brakes book with the presentation and editing style of Quarter Confessions.

So it was to take Quarter Confessions on the road that was pretty much like a simulated hitchhiking experience, but with the editing and like punchy effects of Quarter Confessions, which is like, I wear a suit, we do the fast zoom-ins, little effects, stuff like that. It was a, man, those were the best years ever. It was just so fun. I mean, imagine you're fresh out of college.

You were just a doorman interviewing people about like, you know, making out with their cousin and stuff. And then boom, this company that you've never even heard of is willing to buy you an RV and give you 45K a year, which to me at the time was more money than I could possibly imagine. So I called my dad.
