I found the ice cream truck song at the end to be particularly poignant, as it’s a rendition of the 1860s folk tune “Little Brown Jug”. It’s a drinking song which has become known as a kid’s song, centered around a man and his wife who both have a drinking problem. The tune of the song is cheery, which is ironically paired with lyrics from the perspective of the man singing about his love for alcohol, unknowing of the hardships it’s causing him. Excellent documentary guys. Was hard to watch at points but extremely moving.

Straight up. This along with the SF series has been eye-opening and for the overwhelming most part leaves politics at the door

[@chillnophone2024]

This report has it all. Thank you, Andrew. WoW.

[@rimland3258]

This is your best content so far. This goes deeper and provides fresher and unbiased information than most professional documentaries out there. This channel is a jewel in today's journalism

[@aestasis]

The dissonant notes of the ice cream truck's tune at the end, reminiscent of a warped dystopian record, served as the perfect outro to the unsettling scenes that unfolded. Yet, amidst the human suffering, there was a poignant beauty in witnessing drug-addicted adults-once innocent children-coming together to enjoy ice cream. You're an asset to the human race Andrew. Much love mate.

Your videos get a bit more haunting each post. It’s sad but it needs to be shown. You’re the only account that posts out of genuine love and concern. Never stop Andrew, I’m wishing you well always.

[@thomascheckie2394]

whats haunting is how Andrew sexually abused women and got away with it

[@inframatic]

@@thomascheckie2394Andrew will be huge, the king of documentaries and film… like harvey weinstein 🤭

[@ibranour9043]

Fantastic documentary, the last shot with the ice cream truck melody was perfect 👌.

[@gabrielpierce1985]

I live in Philly and feel that most KZbin videos "documenting" Kensington are just made to exploit the addicts and get clicks. But this is very different, and the self reflection says so much as well as the inclusion of the history of Kensington and the corruption of the city/Temple. Well done, well said, well researched, and love the Schmidt jersey.

[@ABrooksCupid]

This video isn’t 100% true. If you live in Philly you should know that Max’s does not have a parking lot so the “tranq brothers” part is a flat out lie. He is not in their stash house.

[@starkai6806]

This is hardcore and true journalism. You’re the best in the world, Andrew. Thanks for all the hard work you put in bro

[@danielcaldwell1110]

Nah, stating tiktok is a psyop without showing any type of evidence is not journalism.

[@reecemccullough4829]

Its a serioous blight on society and the media that this excellent documentary and analysis is coming from a KZbin channel with less then 5 staff. Well done Andrew, shine that light where you can.

[@blight1636]

Someone say my name?

[@Stongna_Bologna]

Seeing everyone get so excited about you buying ice cream for them really struck something deep within me. My mama was an addict, she had her good times and her very bad times but I know she would have loved this honest look at the lifestyle and appreciated that you got everyone a sweet treat to make their day better. You're a standup dude Andrew

He's from country cork ... his grandfather I mean that makes so much sense pure cork head on him

The icecream segment was both bone chilling and geniously filmed/edited. Amazing journalism as always

[@MrBrax]

Bone chilling is the right word. The contrast is staggering

[@Cumfortable]

as someone who's never liked that ice cream truck sound, that segment gave it a demonic (if there are demons) type of connotation.

[@patriotpeasant199]

So glad to have found your channel, this is top notch journalism mixed with history lessons 👍🏽 Actual journalism instead of activism!

Your day will be made 50% better if you have a list of at least 5-10 things that you're grateful for. It's a blessing not to have the kind of chains on your mind, spirit and psyche that some of these people have. God will bring peace. Be a positive change to the world because so many people need a kind word or a helping hand

Thank you for your comprehensive look at all aspects involved in creating these societal problems while treating the humans involved with respect.

[@joeamadeo8889]

Andrew buying everyone ice cream at the end was the most wholesome thing I’ve ever seen. Best journalist in the game.

[@fredrikhf96]

The cheerful, nostalgic sound of the ice cream truck in the background of that hellscape was such a good shot.

[@pnerualevolI]

was also the most dystopian thing i've seen

[@Krranski]

It was haunting, to me. The contrast between the truck and the environment is extreme. I think that music would cause flashbacks of some sort for many people if they got out of there.

[@ObossRocks]

Andrew dont know you little bro 💀

[@mkohanek]

If you found that wholesome you might have missed the point. That loud nightmare music playing over the scenes of human suffering was intended as a stark contrast. That is the furthest thing from wholesome
