So happy you are here!

You re awesome! Great work!!!

Michiana the area I'm in saw a UFO last night . . . someone from Michigan posted a video on facebook and I saw the same thing and so did my wife. I have a short video clip of it turning red and white and both simultaneously but my first video I screwed up I was not familiar with the phone or I would have had a great video of it moving around a flying what had to be thousands of miles up in orbit. I think it was probably one of ours though and those six stars some kind of platforms that were reflecting sunlight, it was the exact right time of day for it to be dark to the viewer but light coming in from below the horizon, between 7:00 and 10:00PM. So aside from that Man Do an Edgar Cayce Video, change it up a little bit go back in time, there are boatloads of readings and books he's written so much meat to chew on, the Akashic records you've talked about. I know you well enough to think you might think reincarnation is all BS and I also know you well enough to know once you have read everything Edgar wrote about it that I read and so much more because you're way more thorough than I am, you'll embrace it. I know it's real, my mom after dying of cancer came to me to let me know she didn't really die, her body did but she did not, she was very much alive and I'm positive still is. She came to me for nine straight years, then one night had to go, fall 1986, I never once asked her what her new realm was like but if someone's loved one died and they see them in a dream I can absolutely teach them how to communicate with their deceased loved one. It's super easy with Lucid Dreaming. Or you could do an episode on speaking with the dead, theres a ton of research, and Near Death Experiences you will be fascinated with the case of Dr. Eben Alexander, Harvard Neurosurgeon who died from Ebola induced Bacterial Meningitis that destroyed his brain and then he woke up from it with the most detailed incredible highly detailed experience. But I can help connect people if they are dreaming and their deceased loved ones pop in to see them all based on scientific principals no crazy newage BS and no voodoo magic and no religious preaching. Any good Youtube video on Lucid dreaming by a licensed psychiatrist or Doctor of Psychology should do the trick in minutes . . .

I love your channel! You are a very accomplished orator, and Hecklefish is an expert way to clarify, redirect, and/or inject humor into a serious subject. And he/you has/have a very sharp whit! Thanks for the entertainment!

New here for it from San Diego 💗

By crikey that is a lot of new subscribers, that is some serious momentum there!

Delvo Johnson

My favorite Frank Zappa quote: "A mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open". I'm lucky someone told us about you. You've really opened our minds to possibility.

Vilma McGuinness

Greetings from snowy Kutztown, Pa. I'm a new member! I love the show and have turned on a few of my Nerdy peeps to the channel! As soon as my plushy Hecklefish comes I will post a pic. Love you guys and everything you do! 🫶

John Grennan

Love it all.

Kat TheCardboardKitty

Wondering when we’ll get new non-compilations? I would love to see shorter regular episodes with less production… like the old days. I don’t watch the compilations due to length. Would you consider doing collabs with travel vloggers like Jacob the Carpetbagger, who loves spooky stuff and cryptids? Or maybe Scott on Tape, who visits film locations, some which may be haunted or have mysteries attached?

The City of Atlantis Queen

When will the next episode drop on the YouTube channel?

ya boy

Big fan of yours my man. Keep doing the good work. More people need to think instead of follow.

Enzo Vardaro

Hi from Montreal Canada! Love this show. Listen to it all the time. Keep up the amazing work!

Angela Spray

Hi from Australia

Tony Andre

Why hasn’t Patreon members gotten a single update on when to expect a new video. What exactly are we all paying for?

Michelle Daniels

Hey AJ & Mr Hecklefish…is that all one word like Cher or 2 words together like The Rock? I hate to offend, ya know? Anyhow, John & I are just ducky. Gina’s at that age (16) where if she’s not a good girl now, she never will be. Fortunately unfortunately us we have 4 great kids! Ok so Fluffernutter is refusing to eat wet food this month but I’m sure that’ll pass. She has to challenge us sometimes. And Scout has grown to 11 pounds but still enjoys climbing screens & curtains…they’re all ruined…can’t repair til he stops. But again, merely a phase except Big Red never did that, he’s always been a good boy blending seamlessly into our home. Ah, home! And it’s nearly the bewitching hour, cocktail time! I’ll take a manhattan today. A good drink for a freezing cold, sleeting day. See you next time! Love you😻😻😻😻🌻🌻

Charlygirl Marie

AJ, Loved hanging out with you and your family on Thanksgiving, and thank you for inviting all of us Whyfilers, you made our day that much better! However, "I DONT LIKE SPAM! SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM🎶

John Edgeworth

AJ, I would like to send a private ,message but, frig if I know where to go to. I do hope this gets to you. I just watch you review the new Star Trek 10 short. Like yourself, I was very hesitant as so much new stuff is just "crap". Any, I have seen the short 4 times and loved it and yes cries. So watching you watch it for the first time was a little challenge for me. As I respect your opinion, would you like it? etc etc. I though you would because it reached back to to very beginning and involved so many great characters from the series that you know that those involved knew and loved the series. Watching you react to seeing the people and the surrounding around Kirk reflected my own darting eyes going from scene to scene. Trying to remember everyplace, item person from the original 79 episodes, not counting the follow - on Star Trek series, and the movies (and the books, yes Spock baby), Well you get the point. As your eyes darted about and the eyebrows went up and you mouthed Oh and oh. and pointed, I knew you liked it as we all did and then at the end, the friggin tears. Even after 4 times wathing and watching you, when you started to tear up, I could hold it back any longer, I backed it up and just watch the end again. Just, Just wonderful. You coud have an after files on this 10 min Star Trek and discuss how Kirk get there. I am still working on that! Live long...

Roberto Sala Hidalgo

Frank A. W. III

Absolutely loved Heckle Fish’s performance!

Kat TheCardboardKitty

Hey AJ! Can you do an episode on Coral Castle in Florida? Or maybe Ohio Mounds? Though that was probably in the episode about giants. I’ll have to go back and rewatch.

Woody

I thoroughly enjoy every episode, just wish ya would’ve stayed in Scottsdale so that I might run into ya while you’re out and about so I could shake your hand and say hello in person… Cheers to the WF team!🍺

James

No, just the ones who have joined in the last month. The channel's growing crazy fast.

Kirstennn

Hi AJ! I’m a long time viewer of your channel, but new to this site. Just wanted to say hi and love your vids! Also, is there going to be another release of the hecklefish plushies?

KennyFloyd

Hi, I love the show. I am desperately looking for a photo from an episode. It used to be the cover photo for the MKL Ultra episode. It's a photo of a man with VERY LARGE eyes. I never got a chance to save it. Thank you in advance.

Albert Deleon

aaahhhhh

Anne Cavell

New member. Learning to navigate sites. Absolutely love the show and I proudly wear my Heckle fish For President tee shirt. In fact all I want for Christmas is Heckle anything

Melissa O Castillo

Loved the cryptid episode! Just joined patreon. This is my very first youtube channel I've ever supported via patreon and super happy to add. This is the best channel on YouTube. You could give a master class on production quality and innovation. How did you get the AI to do your voice and read? Genius ❤️❤️

JD

Enjoyed the cryptids episode 👍 I can only imagine how crazy things have been for all of you! Your fans are still here! We're NOT going anywhere 💪 Very much looking forward to the after files coming back! 👏

Richard Sanchez

How do I know you haven’t been replaced with an AJ clone? 🤨🤔😝

The Why Files

Waiting for the render to YouTube now! Will be tonight!

Steven Chell

Hope all is well my friend can't wait for the new videos

The Why Files

I fully admit that … I’m on vacation!! I’m good.

Super stoked for the new content! Thank you for all your dedication! You are more than appreciated 🥹

AkB

Cheers to Aj, The Fish, and all the crew that make this happen. Also a big fu for making me wait for content.

Michael Gorby

Thank you for the podcasts I like the unredacted audios.

Fizzgig

I've been missing you all so much that I'm carrying my hecklefish around and randomly squeezing him just to get my fix! ❤️❤️😂😂

Matthew Hyland

Ong AJ on crack!

Holly

I hated the song at first but now sing it all the time! Any more research on the Trump/Tesla connection? My theory, even though Musk did not create Tesla, this whole thing is insane. So, say Trump's fam has the missing trunks and is working with Musk to sort it all out and Trump family gets kickbacks from Musk. Not sure but we know they have those trunks!! Makes them both look like amazing smart human beings, which could be one of the biggest played out true conspiracies ever. Smart? Or just Musk came along and they made a deal with someone who was smart enough to make the missing trunk contents a reality. I mean who was JOHN G. TRUMP REALLY??? The Manhattan Project being mentioned as the name for a current project? Wtf? Help us AJ! We are losing it!

Brandy Cleveland

Any news on how Gertie and Hecklefish are doing? He sounded pretty upset about Gertie using his computer.

Lorie Grantham

WOW! SO many supporting! That is AMAZING

Janet Thomson

Thank god

Tyler H.

This one was odd.

Judy and Dave

Loved this!

David Couke

Hey AJ, new member but likey one of your original viewers... told a hundred people about your channel and shared lots. So I do owe you a much bigger Patreon sub, but things are a little tight rn. 2 things, I know you'll defeat the growing pains and come out swinging better than ever and looking forward to it all. Secondly, you must have heard about the Peru aliens by now. They're 110% authentic and there's even 3 species. If you wrote them off a few years back, please revisit them... we are not alone. One side note, in this video link that's by far the best in depth look at them, the Dr. being interviewed mentions a guy who decoded the crabwood crop circle. Please also search for that 1hr video... you won't regret it. Here's the Peru aliens link, it's 3hrs, so get a trusted team member to watch it for you. 110% authentic... https://www.youtube.com/live/nxvcoK1_HoA?si=QFgGWX0k1J8gZy7G Been well and enjoy the fast approaching festive season.

Alan Oberheim

Been watching for years and figured it was time to support on the patreon. Truly appreciate the videos, thanks for all you do and hope all is well!

David Torrez

Hi HF Sings a song after the names. Fast forward past the names 😂

David Torrez

AJ why does HF sing that song?🤔 it's a good bye 👋 song... What's going on. Just checking. Is anybody watching the whole video? Stop bailing and watch to the end. It's funny 😄

Steve Linton

Have to say your show is titties! My ex step daughter used to watch some dumb stuff on YouTube but this show redeemed her choices in my mind. I love every episode and can’t wait to see what’s next!

Heidi Pfaff

Somebody mentioned that AJ talks about HAARP in “ Surviving The Next Mass Extinction” episode. I checked and they were right! https://youtu.be/-jtqMGKaw6c?si=XsNwHwjP2F3Zemqe

Damian Golladay

He smokes a bunch of weed too. Could just be that. I'm in recovery too, best of luck with yours my friend 🧡

Maritza Castillo

Excuse you AJ where is heckle fish? What gave you done? Did you eat him? Did you have money to the kidnappers to keep him forever? You know he’s your best talent right? All jokes aside we are impatiently waiting for new content. Take care.

My Pet Giraffe

He made a video of HAARP??? Really?!?! I don't care if I have to watch everything I can find. I totally wanted that..

Steven Chell

Honestly he looks and sounds drunk. I'm in recovery for booze so it takes one to know one. Hope he isn't falling into the bottomless pit

Steven Chell

Do they have new Episodes out of unexplained? If so where can I stream it thanks

Steven Chell

AJ you look a little tipsy bro I'm in recovery from booze. Hope you aren't falling into that bottomless pit. Will be patiently waiting for your content

Heidi Pfaff

Quick question AJ: Were you forced to take down some of your awesome videos? Like HAARP?

Kspar

100% agree. Really hope everything is ok….

Fizzgig

It's so good to see your face! I will be checking every day until the AMA! I CANNOT miss ANOTHER one!😭😮‍💨😂

SunnyOutlook

Good to see you’re doing well. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve been working on. I’ve been enjoying the compilations.

David Torrez

Thanks HF that was ... Aweso ... Good. Even with the missed note, it was good. I was wondering if We drink a glass of water, do You drink a glass of air? AJ is there a ransom G Fund, or do we just wait and see? kidding aside, glad you're okay. The two most important days in a persons' life. The day they are born and the day they find out why.

dave larouche

😂 Hi, great to see you well ! Love you AJ and team. I don’t know if you be able to see this but I have a little suggestion for you maybe you will be requested that a lot lately but please debunk the Jake Paul “legacy”. Why most people fall for this obvious staged historical live moments?? And other fake≈stage moments of history you can relate or maybe staged Mandela effect like the fruit of the loom logo…..why ????

Shawn Grant

You've been burning the candle from both ends, please don't work yourself to death.

Joshua Sanofsky

Don't overdo it, chief. Quality over quantity, and see to your health. That said, can't wait to see more!

I’m not familiar with this platform. I see the thumbnail, but not a way to play it….help? Sorry to be tech-challenged. 😊

K. M.

Busted out laughing! 😂

K. M.

Hecklefish, beautiful rendition! A foreboding song, though. You’re not going anywhere are ya? Hope not. After 3 hurricanes this year, I’ve seen a lot of unusual things float away…..and float in (little fish in Tampa Bay livingrooms). No belly up, Hecklefish!

sharon kalinowski

A.J., yours is the first TV I try to watch if I get a chance, these days! Animal rescue is insane by myself, but it's all good...💜🌺 Thank you for a fun way to learn something, and definitely smile along the way ☺️

Daniel L Baldwin

I am so glad to hear from you. I was worried that the deep state had gotten to you.

Lin Sarnecki

Hecklish did amazing job on Space Oddity. Imagine Jingle Bells Rock and him dressed up in holiday sweater and a hat ( Girtie and bievers around) !!! Illuminati sign as a star in Christmas tree. Discussing Santa conspiracy theory of him illegally surveling on whether we're naughty and nice. I would so buy it! Imagine listening to him with friends/family after few egnogs. Funny and cozy! 🤣

Robert Seth Vorisek

Heckledish when is your world tour? You were great here!!! 💋

Marcy Spilker

Still waiting to see what you could find on DNA Chimmera, I was adopted and I always knew I had a brother Mike. The day my Mother passed in a car accident I had a nervous breakdown no one could explain. Then I heard about this. Lmk

The Why Files

Too kind sir. I got a NASA coin that’s way cool… and I put the patch he sent on the board. So many interesting things… like Christmas when we pick up the viewer mail! You’d be surprised how little we get though!

MikeD

I wasn’t worried as I knew they were going to skip a week after reading Mr. and Mrs. Why Files were heading off for some deserved R&R after the last video.

jay

Oh awesome! Can ya post a picture maybe? I'd love to see that, I'm glad you like them!

The Why Files

No! Nothing can replace AJ… he’s just playing! V.

The Why Files

That one has been there since the episode and AJ wears it a lot! One of our favs cuz Hecklefish drew it.

The Why Files

Should be early next week! He had to re-record some scenes and once we drop them in we should have it up… I’ve asked the guys to aim for Tuesday 6pm, but no promises just yet until I see he has recorded … Victoria

TheePope0420

Glad your doing good love all of videos and hard work you put into them. Please keep it up we all appreciate and look forward to every video you make.

david hilton

I hope this wasn't a test run for an AI AJ script reading bot. That's a lot of additional content to promise. Yes we all want more but a machine can't replicate what we love about the channel.

The City of Atlantis Queen

Tell heckle fish I fall asleep to your calming voice. Only after I’ve seen the episodes in full. Then at night, I’ll play a rerun to doze off. Great content and I enjoy how you two interact with each other. Heckle fish is crazy.

Adam Worthington

It's Friday at 520 AM. Woke up a bit ago, got on YouTube and saw My Lord HeckleFish, in his bowl, on a Bar Stool, on Stage thinking is he going to sing or dance or both....No....It's AJ....YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!! I am so, so, so, so, so Happy To see AJ, his portable Editing Laptop Setup since he is not home.....which means.....he Took Time Off with Jen to REST!!! Someone said (cough-cough It was Victoria) during the last get together, last Friday (11/8/24) that AJ and Jen was (I am going to misquote because I don't remember the exact words that Victoria said) going to take some time off - towards the end of the live Patreon event. I am guessing they did since anyone/I could tell it was not home where AJ shot the video and AJ had his portable Apple editing machine with 2 side screens (more screens for the time line, final screen reviewing). I know from the video AJ enjoyed some time away. I am taking off today from work: a) hopefully test driving a car (F10) to see how she feels and how it compares to my previous E60 (RIP - I had a "total loss" (I now hate my insurance co.) of my E60) b) to attend a Patreon AJ's Event if there is one scheduled today....I Hope x 100. Thank you to All the Folks on Patreon and YouTube Supporters for Keeping The Why Files a living, breathing, loving group of Human Beings !!! Thank you to AJ, To My Lord HeckleFish (whom I am a mere pheasant in service to My Lord HF - a strict but fair Lord), Jen (are you going to make a new heavy blanket like you did last year just before the Thanksgiving holiday? I love that blanket !!!), Gino (I need to check you out on Twitch (I never used the platform before) to hope to see Gino's Story Time Hour), Victoria, All the Writers and Video Editors, All the People in the Office. To Anyone that is reading these words - Thank you for taking your time and energy out of your day in doing so - I am grateful. John
