Where is the song and the photos the camel and our Hecklefish? You are just a regular storyteller without the spark. Im crying.

Jason Britton

Quantum consciousness! I would love to hear this!

Charlie Massey

I used to get extremely angry with my parents around this age. I believed my name was rose and I would ask them why they changed my name a lot

Cody Osborne

Quantum conciseness! Quantum conciseness! Quantum conciseness! Quantum conciseness! Quantum conciseness!

REINCARNATION? Lots kids talk about past lives but start forgetting around age 5

you look good AJ 🤩

Please, please, please do a video on quantum consciousness. As a religious agnostic, I often feel like there is a truth to aspects of religion that do not land on a guy with long hair sunbathing in the clouds with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. I feel like quantum consciousness, when better understood, may be the scientific explanation for many religious ides. It may also explain what the boundaries of physical reality are and whether or not we can alter to break our perceived realities. Anyway, I would be very excited to see an episode on this topic!

Megan Bedrosian

AJ, Jen, the whole crew- yall are amazing! I'm so happy to be a part of this community

Mel

Great episode!

Daniel Ducharme

Great episode! And I do share the same opinion as AJ in his conclusions : it is comforting to know that we can’t explain everything. Have a great week everyone! Oh and btw would love to explore quantum consciousness and not just aliens LOL But maybe that’s just me! Haha!

Patrick Mitchell

Preach Pete! Sounds like a great episode!

Pete Mitchell

Anyone else feel this a natural progression? Great episode! Yes, a thousand times yes, would love to get your take on quantum consciousness! Peace!

David “Kiwi” Keller

I’d love o learn more about quantum consciousness… but I’m worried about your mental health AJ! If you’re going to do it take your time with it. We’ve got like a septillion years to wait! 😉

Adam Lopez

I may be tired but it seems like the credits that you give to the patreon members look smaller and more blurry than usual.

Adam Lopez

anything quantum is enjoyable, just like using science to researching where humans originated.

MiseriesChild

Awesome episode!! And it's a yes from me on an episode all about quantum consciousness!! 🙂

Susan Towers

Please do an episode on quantum consciousness for your cool, nerd fans who have followed you from the start! I would love to see it!

Susan Ward

Same!

Lisa Holtzclaw

I never received my alert. I found out about this episode on YouTube.

karen Hillyer

Hung on every word AJ.. You have your mojo back.!! . I really hope you feel better.. You look and give that vibe out.. Love the pictures at the end too!.. Heading over to you tube.. Best story teller ever.. Love heckles and all the team too.. :)

Alyx

Are you from the United States?

Alyx

I loved it, but my brain doesn't comprehend physics, let alone quantum physics.

Tamarah Hood

I think I read about this somewhere, but AJ and HF knock it out of the park! Kudos to the production team, too.

Octavia

Another great episode ❤️ Thanks AJ and TWF Team

Les Clemens

I no longer fear being abducted by aliens, I would consider it a rescue.....

Ophelia

Quantum consciousness, Mandela effect, multiverse...what else does one need?!? Loved it!

Steve Haber

You have my vote for a quantum consciousness episode.

Vaper Army

I would love to see an episode on quantum consciousness. That would be fascinating.

Avery's Mom

Not seeing anything come through but will monitor.

Melanie

Yes to a quantum consciousness video!! I loved the lighting pants video and Jen starring as the wife!! The Patreon members video at the end was an excellent upgrade!! it was fun to see everybody’s pictures larger and slower.

Gary Alden

HF has his own TARDIS? Jealous, now.

Gary Alden

Good episode! (But) why were the vehicles driving on the right side of the road if the event took place in England? AI didn’t catch/convert it? I like the many worlds theory eps; keep up the good work AJ and team!

Joe P

Amazing episode, loved it! And what you did in the with the credits roll was absolutely genius. I don't remember sending in a video of that day, but I'm sure another version of myself did...and was probably wearing green corduroy pants at the time. GENIUS!!!

Daniel Giammona

Love it…I’m happier with 20mm videos you don’t need to make longer ones but your part of my weekly schedule 😂 keep it coming

Judy and Dave

We loved the episode, what an awesome surprise came home from work and found a new WF ❤️❤️

Melinda

Yes Quantum Consciousness!!!

Raithe77

I hadnt heard of this one before , but I enjoy the alternate univesre stories. On a different subject, one which somehow I had missed are the pits from which are thought to have been created by lava tubes on the moon. I checked its real , heres a YT link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIi17u_N8yQ&t=633s and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doks3bTwdEA. I have not seen these mentioned on any recent doco on the Moons geography.

Megan Bedrosian

Please please PLEASE! DO QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS! come on, we love brain busters! We wouldn't be here if we didn't! I know you and the whole team would really delve into it and do it justice- as you do with all your work. Thank you so much for being such a big part of my personal journey through this crazy multiverse simulation. You have no idea how much it means to me and to all of us for that matter. Give Gertie a big Ol' pat on the behind for me! *I'm a veterinary technician, so it's not weird....

Scott BeHannesey

Please do the quantum consciousness episode. Nothing sounds more interesting to me!

The Why Files

Had fun doing that and the team recognized all these pics. Got a question for you and will message you!

Jessie

Absolutely loved this story. AND the AI was on point! It really added the extra flavor to the story telling. Well done WhyFiles…well done indeed.

Avery's Mom

Avery made the cut on the video-ized ending credits! But she looks so young... I guess it has been a while since we ordered that hecklefish shirt. Imma need to buy more swag and send new photos :D Great story - you had me enthralled and Avery's jaw dropped.

Ivito

AJ, Quantum Consciousness would be great - I was watching this the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6w4SX7ZJMQ - And I can't figure out if that's true or if it makes any sense, don't listen to hecklefish who doesn't want Quantum Consciousness, he's just a fish!

RileyRoo

I DID receive AMA notification. Okay - so, for whatever reason, didn't get episode notification, but my account is fine. Happy to have new episode to watch. Thank you!!!

Shawn

As always, Great episode!!! Thank you for everything you do.

Shawn

Quantum Consciousness please!!! 😁

The Why Files

It would but AJ wanted to do it first thing as we have two hours open then meetings and getting things ready for the weekend so only he has to work ...

The Why Files

We are not sure why - all the buttons were clicked but didn't seem to go out - did you get the AMA notice today as a notification?

Dustin Ognowski

I did not either. Was surprised it was in YT today.

Steve O

Would love a human consciousness episode! I recently had a similar event where I lost about 2 hours while just being in my house. I came downstairs and the clocks were off by two hours. Everyone was telling me that the time was correct but I had lost 2 hours. I still can't explain where those two hours went.

S.A.Shaw

I'd love if you went down the rabbit hole of quantum consciousness. YES. Let's go there ! I've been dealing with inception dreams of late. I just had my first ever 3rd tier. Freaked me right out. I honestly thought someone drugged me and shipped me to Germany. 🤯 I was extremely distressed and the people around me were snickering & jeering saying I must have had too much to drink. I work at a remote open mining camp there is ZERO D&A. It's fly in fly out 2 week rotation. My crew even knew I was upset. I'm curious if anyone else experiences this phenomenon ?? Maybe, I should take up microdosing. 😶 JK !! I need to keep my job.

RileyRoo

Did other Patreon members receive early notification? If there wasn't early notification, that's fine. I don't receive YouTube notifications for this channel, just wondering if I've stopped receiving Patreon notifications as well.

S.A.Shaw

Completely agree.

Avangaline

Night would be wonderful!

Richard Sanchez

Your awsome js

The Why Files

Hope you are doing well Deirdre!!

The Why Files

Seeing that a lot .... going to see if there was a glitch and resend when I announce the AMA for tomorrow.

The Why Files

Victoria here - Jen tried to wake up AJ and he is WAY too tired. We are giving him a day off (his last day off was vacation in mid December!) and I will announce a Hangout for tomorrow. I am also working on a set schedule for February so y'all know. I miss the regulars!

The Why Files

Victoria here - AJ has been working straight for 5 days - we are going to announce a AMA for tomorrow morning or night (I am pushing for night to get more of ya'll) and will send out a notice for that soon!! We are letting the man sleep today!!

Kyle Trimbach

But what about the DOG!??

Lucas Koeneman

for the next episode, could you do an episode on the galactic federation? hecklefish will love it! I can't wait for my hecklefish plushie to come! could you (one you confirm it) tell us what the time is for the hangout?

Lucas Koeneman

thank you! once you can confirm it, could you tell us the time? I've missed a lot of hangouts.

AndreaV

I loved this one! I am currently holding a copy of a book with stories by John Wyndham, who wrote a very similar sounding story, called Random Quest. I first read it when I was a teenager and have loved it since. I have always been fascinated by stories about alternate realities/parallel universes. So this one was a treat!

Janet Thomson

Loved it. Just not enough. More more more more. Excellent episode. But fr me they all are. Thank u. Love u HF and AJ. AND THE THEME TUNE. gets me dancing every time. Thank u fr all u do. Scotland loves u

Kori_Lane

So if may worlds interact and we can't proceive out sid out universe could we just not be capable of understanding the larger consciousness that we collectively make up? Fractals. Similar to a way that we can't fully understand the counciousness that could exist in our gut bacteria. Are we gut bacteria not able to procieve things outside our body. Are other bodies other universes? What would the empty space between beings be. This is my journey to understand existence.

The Why Files

Yes!! Will get a message out soon to Koi and up … checking with the team.

The Why Files

Thanks as you know I worry about each one hitting right!

Cynthia Graham

Great story. Must say I’ve never been disappointed by any of your stories! You and your staff do terrific work Appreciate your closing comments, too. Exactly!

Lucas Koeneman

Hey Aj, is there going to be a hangout today?

Naomi Fiordimondo

What did the doctor order?? I wanna get it, too!

Richard Sanchez

No notification on patreons end. but glad to have got the YouTube notification thanks for all the content:)

Deirdre a greene

Keeping up that great work.

Heather Branson

AJ - Quantum Consciousness Episode Please :) This was fantastic by the way :)

Beccaskye

I did not receive a notification from Patreon for the last 2 broadcasts!

The Why Files

Each video gets the time it deserves for the story.

The Why Files

Thanks for sharing this.. I understand

Mantaz

Very good episode! Please make one about MH370 and research Ashton Forbes

Sue DiSanto

Thanks guys!!! We all really need these gems!!!

Nick

Great episode. Please do the brain-busting episodes. In the words of the late, great Bill Hicks, “Always talk to the most intelligent person in the room.” The rest of us will catch up!

Walter Scott

I didn't get a notification either.

Sean Miller

Same here!

Vilmos László Tell

Weird, I did not get a notification for this upload. I have all enabled for the WF.

John Knox

Great Episode! The podcast on Nazi prophecy was 10x better. Both were really good! Thanks WFT!

Rick Flynn

Thanks for another great TWF!! Whether in this reality or another, I suspect you are the constant that is always great 👍😃

Pfa1981

Great story! Please do the quantum consciousness video you spoke about. I would be very interested in your take of it. Thanks for the work, it is appreciated

Ferfer

Yesss quantum conciousness please!!!

Jewels

Please give us Quantum Consciousness! Maybe it would help us understand how twisted our world is. I've watched this new episode twice in two hours. Great Stuff. Now I'm hoping for a slip into a parallel universe where I don't have to shovel snow!

The Neoborn Caveman Show

Loved it; came with parts The X-Files was famous for. Liked every minute of it. And it's understandable why the production is moving towards new territory with the visuals. That's the new reality of entertainment. What matters the most are Mulder and Scully, err..., AJ and Hecklefish!

Michiel DeBoer

Love to hear an episode about quantum conciseness!

Adam (Pappy) Koehler

Bring on the Quantam consciousness episode!!!

Adam (Pappy) Koehler

I'm digging the nerdier episodes. AJ and Company seem to be back on their game. Last 2 episodes were great. I really enjoy the science based episodes from the earliest days of TWF.

Chris Conlan

AJ and Heckle Fish make it easy to stay around! Thanks for all the hard work !!

Susi Su

I don't. I prefer the slightly shorter ones. For me, it's better to have more frequent videos of a shorter time, than 45-60min episodes which might not grab your attention. I couldn't have got through this one had it been an hour. Same with the one the other week with the lizard woman. Just not my favourite type of story.

SimBlut

Brain buster or not. I'm all for Quantum consciousnes.

Chris Conlan

AJ and Heckle Fish the goats - they make it easy to stay around!!

Susi Su

I'm English and I love it when you cover things from my "neck of the woods". I'd never heard of this story, so while I was watching I started searching for info online. Other than a couple of clearly suspect websites, there was nothing. So from about 5 minutes in I knew this story was complete hogwash. Spoilt the episode for me. Nevermind, can't win 'em all. I shall look forward to the next one. :-)

Mikey Wookie

I believe this can also be done chemically. On ketamine I have had some supernatural timeline change experiences.

Richard

It's always good to expose another urban myth. It makes the real high strangeness so much easier to appreciate. That thing you said at the end about things being beyond out comprehension and how that gives you comfort, I agree. Something happened to me that defies explanation. It rocked me hard when it happened, like the sense of a door opening to all the answers only to have abruptly closed. I eventually forgot (it turns out that, for me, it's pretty easy to let stuff I can't explain get shuffled to the back of the memory file) about the event. Years later something triggered the memory. It did a number on me but I finally accept the unknown/unexplainable as just another part of life. An odd realization came to me, too. My fear of dying isn't what it used to be. It's going to happen, and the incident left me less concerned. Go figure.

Martin McGinnis

Thanks Aj your the best

Ray Airship

Another great episode AJ, Fishfinger and co. Keep up the fantastic work.

Ray Airship

Please do a show on whatever the hell you said it was. Enough Goddamned UFO stories. I it that alternate universes have cars in the UK that have the driver moving from the left to the right and I am sure at one point the centre of the Jaguar (?) being driven. It's pretty cool that in some of the universes it's okay not to pick a lane, but to straddle the centre line. Cool. Very cool. One way traffic, obviously.

FlightRisk

Fantastic Job AJ, Jen, Gino, Victoria, Hecklefish, and the whole damned crew!!!!! Well written and it was interesting!

Joe Mustonen

New why files! Lovin it! ❤️

Zach Bewley

Shorter and shorter videos each time 😢 I miss the 45+ min videos

Donnie Simmons

Hope I can catch it, y’all really do make the best podcast out there! Hecklefish is the best….he cracks me up without fail!!!

The Why Files

Will announce in morning… we will do one asap!

The Why Files

Happy Birthday Colin!

Gavin Evans

A big multidimensional YES for a trip to quantum consciousness teamsters! Thank you for another amazing episode.

Colin Butterworth

This is an awesome story! And it has dropped on my Birthday. Thank you! I'm also a yes for a show on quantum mechanics and multiple realities.

Skinny Piglet

Love a good story. Well done!!

Skinny Piglet

Yes to quantum consciousness

Reginald Turner

A story on quantum mechanics time space continuum , quantum consciousness, would be interesting. Great episode

Johnny

Thank you and yes please do a video on quantum consciousness

Mico Nelson

Truly one of your most intriguing episodes! As for a show on quantum mechanics and multiple realities, I would absolutely love a good brain twist. Please think about creating one.

Donnie Simmons

This is my first listen on Patreon hope you post about a q&a session soon!!! Thank you AJAnd team for giving me something to look forward too !! You guys are the best!!!
