Have you done a show on the massive sink hole in Rocksprings, Tx?

David Leatherman

Great as always.

Stephen Gorton

Have you ever looked into the possibility of the lost 10 tribes of Israel living within the hollow earth? It is a theory I’ve been looking at for most of my life. I have no answers.

Dave Cassenti

I say keep embellishing. The small changes added to urban legends are what makes them so enjoyable as stories, and it keeps people talking about them.

Dave Cassenti

I think that's third party ads, like on YouTube. This was one done by WF? and is SO much better!

Kat

Yes, keep embellishing where you feel it makes a better story. Your story telling skills and the way you handle the information is what keeps bringing us back. I mean, I was ready to feed poor wee Hecklefish to a cat at first but now I love the way he drives the narrative along. Your whole presentation is clever on so many levels. The added bonus is your voice is great to just have going in the background as I work or drift off to sleep.

Kat

The Well to Hell video....you're not fat at all, just a nice healthy gorgeous man. What is it with Americans, all wanting to look emaciated?

Pixelclone

Aren’t the Patreon episodes supposed to have no ads? Oh well, I love this compilation! I hope we get an Episode 2 for the ones not covered in this comp. ❤️

Seymore Buts

1 of the 50 watchers

Steve Pisani

Regarding the first two episodes, I learned only the truth, the hole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Alan Oberheim

Loving the comps

Joseph A Mizzi

There's nobody living in Malta who doesn't know a Joe. I'm one of them. I now question everything that guide says.

Debo

Great ShowAJ! how about a show on Dolores Cannon or did you do one already? thank you

Jeffrey Haynes

I'm tired of hearing about richard byrd, he's in literally every single one of these every single compilation

Joanie Yannotti

Love the comps! Thank you.😊

Zach Bewley

And now they drop a 24 minute video 😢

Joan Robinson

Okay, now I’m officially worried. No New Year’s livestream, no new video tonight and, most unsettling of all, no communication from anyone at TWF. What’s going on?

Brian P

They could just make a quick post and say no episode. Probably chill a lot of people out.

Johnny

Who knows after yesterday, I read the new years event and they said new episode Thursday but life happens as you know so who knows what happened? I guess we will find out in 15

Jessie

@1hour46min. Asked for feedback on taking license on shows to fill in narratives, etc. I believe you had posted a survey to all of us about this and it was overwhelmingly against adding things. But, with you saying you already do this at times, I would have to say that I’ve never disliked it, because I didn’t know you did that. Haha. So I would say, in my opinion, that if you do that (because you’re a great writer) in a video that is necessary to progress the story, then give a disclaimer at the very beginning of the video that you’ve done this. I think that’s a fair way to do it for all involved!

Todd

Same here.

Brian P

Episode tonight?

Shawn Legrand

Liked the compilation! Well done. Just another bit of a debunk of the Operation High Jump concerning the attack on the USS Maddox. It was never there according to the US Navy: “After the war, Maddox operated off San Diego, California, until February 1946, when it returned to Far East waters to support the movement of naval occupation forces between Shanghai, Tsingtao, and Taku in China, and the ports of Pusan and Jinsen in Korea. Maddox returned to San Diego the next month and operated off the U.S. West Coast for the next three years.”

Joan Robinson

I haven’t seen any notifications here on Patreon about the new video (just an email on Tuesday) and I was wondering too what happened to the livestream yesterday. A bit worried to tell you the truth.

Joan Robinson

I received an email saying there would be a New Year’s Day live stream on YouTube but there wasn’t and supposedly a new video today but there’s nothing on Patreon about it. Frankly, now I’m getting worried because that seems very out of character.

Todd

Hope you all are doing well. Did the live stream from 4 to 6 yesterday get cancelled? You guys have been blowing it up for the holidays and needed a holiday off IMO. Looking forward to the new ep tonight. If not all good!

Johnny

AGREED !!

Lotlizard

Why an add on patreon? Couldn’t cut it out?

Zach Bewley

Fair enough - but even the one video a month they send out now is lesser quality than the previous weekly videos. We get 30 minute videos when they used to be 45-50. It’s just become way inferior channel to what it had been for years.

Len Forgione

Respectfully, I think AJ was killing himself to get videos out at that pace. Better to have fewer high quality videos than to have no WF at all! Health first.

April

I do remember watching that but i never can pay much attention to screens. Madelene Le'Engle planted the idea of mico life being inteligent with her book "wind n the door" (part of the wrinkle in time quintet). I have always gravitated to books over screens. Till these pocket computwrs came out and sucked my brains out (so.eti.es i swear the anti christ, if you believe in that is technology itself, it makes us brain dead while making us think we are smarter in my opinion, but i am sucked into it just like everyone else)

nita derouen

Interesting thought. It’s kind of like the last scene in MIB I think!

April

So question? What if the earth is a living organism and the anomolies they cant explain about the center are its organs? That would still enable civilizations etc to be in the center of the earth. I mean look at the hunan body, we have billions of organisms living on and in us that probably have no idea we are a living organsim. Heres another thought, what if some of those tiny organism groups are intelligent like we are? What if the universe is an organism and everything in it is its own organism? Just thoughts..

Yovana Rathbone

I have watched every show and love the compilations.

Simon Owusu

Still love WF ! Shit happens… provided great stuff and seen me through tough times, ever grateful ! I love Mel’s Hole ! Plus Fat AJ and The Fish (should be an alternative title) 😛

Robert Gee

Cb314

Happy New Year, I love the ai add on, I think the channel is awesome.

Levi Yoder

I'm not holding my breath.

Zach Bewley

How much you wanna bet there isn’t a new video Thursday

Zach Bewley

They’re fumbling a massive bag is what’s happening

Zach Bewley

The fall off of the why files should be studied. From dropping amazing videos every single week to less than 1 a month… so disappointing from someone who has been a massive fan since the beginning.

Theresa Christenson

Happy New Year! I love the compilations. BTW: You look younger with the “Covid face.” Stay well!

Chris Conlan

👏👏🤣🤣 brooooo I’m ROLLING - thanks for all the hard work with all the videos ! Honestly super grateful and always have deeply enjoyed the content! HECKLE YOU MY BOY!!!!👊👊

Dot Prokay

New to the gang but love Compilations. Great way to spend the New Year- hope everyone is having a Blessed and Safe day!

Pedro Ruiz

Good call boss what's the deal on those subjects AJ?... ☆}P.RUIZ{☆ (my apologies for barging in on your convo... the name is Pedro, friends kall me, ★"Peter- ó-"Pete"★

Patrick Thomas

There was also a cyber truck that blew up in Vegas. My guess it was a safety call.

Johnny

Well said ! ✌🏻

Trent Frymire

Sadface

Bet Ann

Bummed about the live feed but praying all is well with y’all and that everyone is safe and sound. No matter what happens I’ll be here waiting for whatever comes next! I appreciate you!!

Trent Frymire

I really enjoy the wait for the next big thing here. It seems like content and consistency is becoming a big issue.

Trent Frymire

Sadly, I was really hoping and waiting for this. What the heck is going on at TWF headquarters? I miss heckle fish.

Johnny

I don’t man I’ve been check everywhere for info , even on Twitter

RJ Page

Any updates on the live stream today? Postponed or cancelled?

Trent Frymire

What happend!!!??? Did you cancel today's show?

Sue DiSanto

Sheesh! Stuff happens, folks. Move on!

Andrew Zimmerman

I think the new years day live was canceled because of the terror attack today in New Orleans.

Shanon Freeman

Hope you are all okay.

SandyK1014

That is what I was thinking, I couldn't locate after I went to check on You Tube and it isn't there either.

Brian P

It’s all good. I’d just like to know so I can do something else.

Don Stewart

must have been :(

Johnny

Was wondering the same thing, they took the post down

SandyK1014

Maybe they are in the power outage area

Brian P

New Year’s Day stream canceled?

Johnny

If you read the new year post you would have read there will be a new video Thursday … cheers friend , happy new year to you and yours ✌🏻

коле македонски

Haven't seen my name on the credits for about 9 months does my head in

Ryan James

Levi Yoder

Another Compilation? I've been a fan since day one but it's hard to when you go a whole month without producing any new content. How bout a video on this drone Hysteria or this weird fog AKA Smart Dust?

karen Hillyer

Hey you are sad.. I can see it at the end.. Little advice... If your going through hell keep going.. We are here know that.. not going anywhere... Look after yourself AJ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Why Files

This was a horrible year. But we all worked hard for you. No video was phoned in. This isn’t easy by any means. I’m not pumping out junk. I’m earning my paycheck from you. I check every fact (still human of course so will get some wrong but not for being lazy) Some people get that … some don’t like what it’s been. I understand both sides. I tried to keep giving more and 45 min weekly documentaries don’t allow sleep. It caught up with me… a lot. We worked hard this month to rearrange the pipeline looking honestly at what I won’t give away. Appreciate your support whatever way you feel about last year. But know… I understand all and care about how the patrons feel ….. we are moving forward… we just want focus on being the best for you guys and not on the growing pains of last year. Here’s to 2025!

The Why Files

Hey Wilma!! We are coming back to Thursday for you!! ♥️

The Why Files

Love you back

The Why Files

So grateful for all of you!

The Why Files

Appreciate you!

The Why Files

The girls wanted to call it “mounds and holes” 😝

The Why Files

The deep dives are a bit more serious so Hecklefish excluded them from his contract ;) happy new year!

No Way Jose

Commercials? 😢😢😢😢

Catherine Nunkai

These compilations are awesome but enough with the fat shaming already, please! You look great either way. Happy New Year to you and yours from South America

The Neoborn Caveman Show

It's good to hear some fresh lines from AJ... and now I've got it: a fish on the run is the reason for everything... ;)

Judy and Dave

Happy New Year 🥳🎉

John Knox

@2:28 what AI are you guys using now? I take it no imirsity anymore. Maybe runway, Kling, minimax, hunyuan for vids now? Flux for images?

JohnZ65

Excellent compilation AJ. I have to say, your story telling is epic! You have met your calling, all of you there at the WF. It's like an old radio show my parents would talk about some times called, "Theater of the Mind", from the classic era of broadcasting. Looking forward to more journeys in 2025!!

Pete Mitchell

Aight, Happy New Year! A compilation is a great way to ring in the new year, even if nothing truly changes on New Year's Day. Don't take my word for it, Bono says so, therefore it must be true. Couple of things I want to say, then I'm going to sleep and wake up for the first time in 2025. First, I've been listening to the podcasts at work. Because I'm wearing earbuds, I can hear the theme song much better. That's a work of art, my friends, and one hell of an earworm. Worthy of an award. Is there an award for best Youtube/podcast theme song, like the one that won an Emmy for Cheers? You know how it goes, sing it with me...Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name... Stuck in your head yet? Ha! You're welcome. That's my revenge for Gertie loves to dance, Gertie loves to dance, Gertie loves to dance on the dance floor, because she is a camel, and camels love to dance when the feeling's right... Damn you, human! Sorry, I digress. Where was I? Oh yeah, podcasts. They're great! And since I've watched every one of the episodes I can visualize most of what can't be seen on the podcast. BUT, there are some episodes that don't even have Hecklefish. WTF (not to be confused with TWF)? I think he may want to check with your shared lawyer and check his contract. There's something...fishy going on. Ha! See what I did there? Looking forward to new content in the new year. Wishing everyone joy and prosperity in 2025! Peace!

Chris Conlan

Bro Lolol the seaman jokes got me ded

Chris Conlan

Cool!

Jypsee

Why isn't this on the ehyfiles.com site? I'm still getting the old stuff and I'm a member. And Happy 2025.

MikeD

Here’s to a happy 2025 for Team Why Files and all my fellow Patreons. May only your favorite conspiracies come true.

Jigsaw

@AJ ... your question following the "Operation Sunray" portion... you should be good in regards to taking creative license by filling in the gaps to an otherwise interesting story, as long as you identify the parts you had to add. My thoughts are... your stories need to be interesting and flow, otherwise folks will loose interest. You are telling a story, not writing a research paper. All of your narration in the compilation was good.

M. Minor

Happy New Year to Everyone. May 2025 bring you happiness, great health and much prosperity. ;-)~

ColoradoShirePiper

A whole episode talking about the younger dryas maybe?

jay

Thanks for the awesome new compilation! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!

MiseriesChild

Happy New Years everybody!!! 🙂

Andrew Leuss

Happy New Year to everyone here!!!

Johnny

1 hour and 46 minutes into this video you asked what we think about you adding your own take to videos that have “gaps in the narrative”. I like the way you make the stories flow better so keep going like you do now. Your videos are great!

Richard hill

please can we have one on the drones appearing in new jersey and around the world ? also hope you have a great new year

ColoradoShirePiper

Operation sunray was the video that got me hooked on why files akd made me a part of the family very well done im almsot finished with the compilation now!

KA

No you’re not wrong. I wish you were. But hopefully it will back on track. AJ, Your fans love you and your content. Remember, perfection is the enemy of good. Happy New Year and no matter what happens, we’ll always love you guys.

Joe Mustonen

I’m so happy! I can’t wait for a new episode! Happy new year!

Lisa Holtzclaw

I stumbled on your show during covid and thought you and Hecklefish were very attractive. You probably feel better now with the weight loss, but you were as handsome then as you are now.😊

John Knox

OMG, Hecklefish got everything right! On the Navy announcements. Ok tattoo tattoo lights out in 5 minutes. Hecklefish could totally be a boatswain mate.

John Knox

HOLEy 💩! A new compilation! Can't wait for for all the Hecklefish puns! Let me guess he's going to start a new business called Beaver hole! Going to start watching now!

MIKΞL

Happy New Year y'all

Wormwood

Mel's Hole is the best! But don't tell my wife that 😉

John DeSantis

Deirdre a greene

happy new year you hard working people.

Happy New Year from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 As the New Year arrives a WF compilation drops. Genius.

berkhjo

Why files, like it was, is done, i fear. There was talk of doing an Amazon prime deal at one point for the WF. It's one of 2 things. They have dumped 98% into a new deal like with prime and that's why we never get new stuff. Or AJ is so focused on the one thing his fans don't care about at all, AI perfect productions. Both of which leads to never getting content anymore. I support the WF. I love AJ's material. But something DRASTICALLY occurred june-ish 2024. And ever since? It's been promise broken after promise broken. Instead of AJ continuing what made him successful, a small production, likely just being done by him, he's tried to turn it into something else. And his NEED for perfection leads me to believe there are dozens of videos "ready" but not by his standards. And all of that is taking up his time. I wish he'd just go back to the model he had 1 year ago. It's so sad whats happened to the WF. It's literally dying before our eyes. I'll still support AJ and the WF. But me realizing reality isn't wrong. Some fans think what I say, while true, is just so wrong. Even though every WF fan knows it's going on 1 year of a drastic change. One that is not for the better. I just hope aj sees this, knows he has our support and finally wakes up.

Sue DiSanto

You look great, AJ! Whatever you are doing, keep it up! Happy New Year!!

nita derouen

Hubby and I bringing in the new year with Hecklefish. We have the Hole compilation turned up loud bc our two dogs are going nuts with the fire works. 🎆

Wilma Titzgreaux

Love my Whyfiles….just frustrated that I can’t get in through the patreon app….EVER. Also never get notifications from YouTube about any upcoming new ones. I miss Thursday night videos and after parties 😭
