Displaying top 5 Content by most recent ID

Hi i’ve been working on trying a basic webpage design that I want to display the top 5 blogs and videos from my site on the homepage. Currently the blog section and the video section are all working independently in their categories however I have trouble coding these two seperate elements to play nicely on the homepage.

Currently I am trying to test out if I can even get the content by ID before I begin worrying about getting it to display on the page.

the code I currently have looks something like this
<?php

				$posts = get_posts();
				$videos = get_videos();
				$check_id = $posts && $videos
				$omit = $check_id - 5
				$top5= $check_id - $omit
		                echo $top5;
		     ?>

this code will give me the number 5 but I need it to return the actual physical content, just the latest 5 post and videos. Im very much a n00b at php and any assistance would be greatly apprectiated
