Toof Update
🕑 Added 2024-09-16 20:44:02 +0000 UTCEmergency oral surgery went OK. The first was an emergency - now two more surgeries to put everything back. (sigh) I can't thank you enough for hanging in there with me - with us. I know this year has been a mess. I'm frustrated, too.
Surgery or not, I'm still going to try and churn out content.
I've only been awake for about an hour, and everything is still numb, so I don't know how bad this will be. I think it's going to hurt - a lot. But that's OK. I can work through the pain. I'm just hoping there's no swelling.
Like Dalton says: "A man can't stand, he can't fight."
A lesser-known quote of his is: "A man's face gets too swole, he can't speak."
That's the update. I'm not laid up or anything. I'll be around for AMAs, all the good stuff.

Not sure what happened to my Patreon, i didn’t even notice it went unpaid, but I’ve straightened PayPal out! We good now Sorry about that, guys! Hope everyone is great!

I know I’m late but I’m sending you love, positive energy, and healing vibrations. May your efforts to promote the truth be met with the light and fullness of true success. Your work is invaluable, inspiring, interesting, impactful, instructive, and incredibly important. I imagine it invokes intelligent immersion into important information, insights including interdisciplinary ideas, inquiries, and illustrations ie immortality and or infinity….lol seriously I love what you’re doing and hope to be able to help however I can. 1️⃣❤️✌🏽😮💨🤣🤣🤣
Elizabeth Rarich
I did the same- noticed there were more compilations lately so I too was worried…we just gotta all come together and 🙏 for a speedy recovery and for him to get his 💪 back!!! We will still be here❤️
Elizabeth Rarich
😂 I posted the same- all his followers know he’s WAY TOO HARD ON HIMSELF!
Elizabeth Rarich
Awesome post! I agree, he’s got no clue the happiness and wisdom he brings into this I don’t even know what to call it …so called life. To AJ and fam- you have contributed so much more to mankind…I don’t think id like a world without The Why Files! 🫶❤️‼️
Elizabeth Rarich
Dude, you’re getting hit medically!!! Damn!!! 🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪💯💯💯
DannyO
Hey AJ Gino and family, You are the ones that mean more to us than you could know so Be Nice Be Kind and know that YOU are appreciated.
Birdie the Cockatiel Randt
make sure your better before making videos, health first, were not going anywhere
Matthew Mclees
You can only fake a toothache so many times before people start to get frustrated.
Jamie Johnson
You sound like 💩 rest up 😜
Luc Grenier
Ahahah ! Sorry for that
Wolf SGJ
I had oral surgery a few years ago. NOT FUN. Take care of your self. If you over do you will make it worse and you might end up back in the hospital. Ask how I know. Or maybe you can guess.
Don Stewart
Hope you feel better. Take care of yourself.
Ellie
Hope you heal quickly 💛 I just recently discovered the Why Files on YouTube and I’m obsessed!!! Can’t get enough! With that said tho, pls take the time you need to rest and recover fully….we’ll be here whenever ur ready! 🛸
veronica kennedy
Awwwww, AJ! I’m sorry that I’m chuckling at you I right now (hilarious choice). I actually just joined the Patreon tonight b/c I was worried about you and also b/c I love TWF. No kidding, I wanna say I subbed when it was like less than 20k subs and have only started getting into the Patreon thing for creators that I most enjoy. TWF were a bright spot for me during the pandemic, and I’m finally in a position to start giving back. Anyway, stoked to be here, and I’m really sorry about your sinus infection. Get well soon, and take care of yourself please
Zach Jacobs
I'm currently experiencing some level of decay, and have been using special toothpaste to battle it before I start losing teeth. This info will save my mouth bones and I thank you for it 🙏 giraffe god bless
Ray
I hope this doesn't come off as preachy but maybe this is a sign from the universe and your body to take it easy and relax a bit instead of obsessing with churning out content. We have hours of videos to watch in your archives if we feel like a WF fix. Your focus at this point imo should be on recovering above all else, and certainly far and above thinking about your next video. Feel better ! 💛
David Parisi
Thank you, AJ! I’m wishing you a speedy recovery!! I love your work and I’ll be here when you’re ready. No rush — rest up and take the time you need.
Big Bone Daddy
Speedy recovery man!!
Katland

You mean more to this community than you could ever imagine. Just take the time to get well were all going to be here when you get back. Peace out
mSkywalker18
Get well fast man! But don't push it. Just get well and try to speak only after you've totally recovered! We can wait. We will wait.

AJ thanks for the update. Just worry about getting yourself back healthy. People don't realize how important your health is. Take the time to get yourself better, we will always be here.
No Way Jose
You sound amazing 😬

AJ you are doing a great job with TWF. Now you have to take care of yourself. Remember that you are the most important person in your life.

Wishing you the very best AJ.

Try not to work through pain, just rest until you are well? We will lift you up. We care. Say that beautiful closing you say to us to yourself. You are so appreciated. Hope the pain ends soon. Thank you for being you.
Luci
Rest well, AJ, it’s ok. Thank you for all that you do, you deserve some time off.

Take it easy and don’t go full force too quickly. Hope you feel much better soon! We will always be here, don’t rush your body’s healing if you can.

Henry Hidalgo
omg i cant believe it ur a tropper
Kat TheCardboardKitty
Godspeed, AJ! Stay rested, and take your time. You heal… we’ll wait! I wonder if the rest of your crew would have fun doing a video? You could get your much needed rest and some entertainment (or creative direction) at the same time. Halloween is approaching. Maybe someone could dress up as you and someone else as Hecklefish 😂
Melanie Aranguez
Please take all the time you need and heal!! Sending you lots of love and good vibes - you got this!! 🙏✨
Elena Diamond
We are with you AJ. Take you time and heal.
David Velez
I had the literal exact same thing about a year ago... fucking sucks! However the surgery for the implant post and then the actual new tooth is way easier and much less of a pain. The waiting sucks though! I had to get a bone graft, which wasn't nearly as bad as it sounds.
Duckmom
I just had oral surgery yesterday. I can’t stop playing with the stitches. Giving myself a headache.
Jason Moore
Feel better AJ. I'm no stranger to tooth pain, and it sucks.
DOUG SIGMON
I did the same Finally ended up getting implants Best decision
Sherry Player
Feel better soon!
Amy Coppedge
Oh, my! I am sorry to hear it! I hope you heal fast with minimal pain.
Vince In Houston
Dude. I appreciate your concern in checking in, that is some rough stuff if you have to do three more times. Take the time you need and get well soon. I hope the pain killers are treating you well. 🤞😵💫😉
Selika Winter Emanuelita
😮 BRO!!! WTH can you catch a break 😧. Feel better soon. What did they do to you 🧐. When I had my tooth extracted I went back to work afterwards..granted, I'm a beast 💪🏿😁.. But JEEZE. You can't even talk!!!
SunnyOutlook
Family and health first. Don’t push yourself. Your content is always worth waiting for. Been through the exact same thing you’re going through. It’s not fun, but so glad I live during the time I live it. Take care!
Aaron
You should do a whole video with that shit in your mouth lol. That sucks AJ sorry you're going through it brother but I must have been that that made me laugh pretty hard
Carissa Griggs
Please don't make content that puts any of your health at risk. Just take it easy man. We want you here for the long run. It's always worth the wait!
Casey Dent
Your health is what's most important. Don't sacrifice it to make content, even if we are paying for it. We'd rather have a 100% healthy and functioning AJ than one who's unable to create the quality content you always create. Get well soon mate.
Adam (Pappy) Koehler
Get well soon A J.

AJ, I hope you recover well, and I hope that you’re not in too much pain. I’m glad you got that situation taken care of Sending all the good vibes, your way, bro 🐱🦀

Take it easy AJ and come back to us when you fully recover
Joanie Yannotti
Feel better AJ. Teeth pain can be horrible. Been there, felt that. Ice, ice, ice! 😊
My Pet Giraffe
Thanks Zach! Fun fact, a dentist told me that swishing with Alkaline water before ya brush or after acidic foods/drinks rehardens the enamel and prevents tooth sensitivity and decay too! Just wish I'd known about that in my 30' or 40's. Hope I'm not TMI here... but, I have Epilepsy from a work place accident in 1999, and the meds dry my mouth out... And I'm a mouth breather at night... Lol. 😄 I've had to have All my molars and premolars pulled due to dry mouth (causes decay, and I didn't discover sleeping chin straps soon enough). These last 7 teeth (molars & premolars) were quite Literally killing me with infection and pain. And local anesthesia has never worked for some reason. So it had to be done in the O.R. But, WOW! Those gel ice packs are Amazing! Maybe it will help others who need treatment too? Anything to relieve suffering.

much love x

homie ... we'll b waiting ... dont even trip ... just get better
My Pet Giraffe
Wow! 😲 ONLY 3 More Times?!?! Oui. I just went through this in an O.R. Exactly 1 week ago. I'm right there with ya rowin that boat. 🥴 I had to use black tea bags (don't like the flavor so got vanilla chai... not bad!). Just moisten them and clamp down. The caffeine in it stops bleeding, if the gauze doesn't work.. Also Amazon has freezable face packs (gel packs with a neoprene cover that velcros on top). The gel packs have Velcro to stay in place. They're Amazing 😍. Since this is involving your sinuses, you may want one with more coverage. But they worked great! Here's the link... REVIX Wisdom Teeth Ice Packs for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1715B7V?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Each gel pack only lasts about 20 minutes, but ya get enough of them to always have one frozen. It saved me from A Lot of Swelling, Bruising and Pain. And you can use them hot or cold. I wish you a speedy recovery 💐and all the best. ❤️ You got this. 😎👍
Dre
I am going in for a root canal and crown in about 13 hours from now. To AJ and the crew, stay strong!

Jesus Martin
Weirdly enough I had to have emergency oral surgery as well. Then my job said they’d give me 90 an hour if I came in right after. So I did lol
Liminal Phate
Super glad that you're all right. And fingers crossed the next surgeries will be gone in a flash. And I'm certain you have a much better medical professional than father time that worked on me... I think he may have been the first dentist ever. 🤣 Cheers mate
Robyn Button
Your health is more important than new content. You have gone above and beyond to try and produce new storylines for us and it's appreciated but...you, your health both physical and mental, are more important than new podcasts. Don't stress over not putting out new content. Once you stop having fun and see your channel/podcasts as a chore that stresses you out, we'll all stop having fun. You've put a lot of good out to the universe... it's time for you to take a bit of that back for yourself. Chill, stay cool and get healthy.
Interstellar Frequency
Hay man, this means R&R for your voice. Maybe a little of some sleep. You need the rest as much as you can. If you don’t listen to Victoria you’re going to be in more pain so RELAX. I know lots of us are interested in what little bit of side videos you put out besides the regular scheduled programming. Mint tea will help too btw.
Shari Davis
Feel better soon AJ 🙏😊
Evzz
What time was your dental appointment, toof hurty? Ah, when it rains it pours, doesn't it Good luck with the rest of the treatment. Before you know it everything will be back to normal and you'll be firing on all cylinders once again. Hang in there.
Paulette Shackelford
Oh my goodness I’m sorry you’re having all this problem with your teeth. Damn, like I said I had a lot of problem with my teeth too 50% of my mouth was my baby teeth that never were replaced with new teeth. You know you lose your baby teeth, your new teeth come in and your baby teeth fall out my baby teeth didn’t fall out. I was in my 60s lol so you can imagine the problem. I’m having now. I hope you feel better AJ I’ll pray for you. Have a good day.
Brian Espy aka Squad 51
Anybody else thinking the teacher from Peanuts listening to that? 😂😂 Get better soon AJ!
Keith Haussel
Maybe Hecklefish can take up some of the slack. His choppers look OK LOL
David “Kiwi” Keller
We love you AJ. Thanks for sharing that and being so vulnerable with us. I hope you feel better real soon!

We miss ya when you’re not online but taking care of yourself is the most important.

Erica Entwistle
I promise, once you get this all fixed, it'll be a bad dream you can use to traumatize others with tooth pain. It'll be fun.
Amanda Moreland
Get better man tooth pain is the WORST.
Jeff Fletcher
Get well soon. We won't forget you. Until you're back there are plenty of shows to rewatch.

Sendrius Telt
Glad the surgeries are working!
Zach Jacobs
TF is wrong with you? He's a human being who had an infection and needed surgery to alleviate serious pain he was having. What is so wrong with him taking an extra day or two to deal with that? He's making great content every single video. You pay to be here, on his patreon, just to be an ass?
Hunter Radcliff
Hahaha I love you AJ!! Feel better!
Bobby Kooi
Please just take care of yourself and get some rest, I'm not going anywhere, I seriously doubt anyone is going anywhere, trust me we're all hooked. There's enough content to go back and we watch episodes there's always something you missed the first time. So, just take care of yourself.
Craig Walker
You're good, Man. We got your back. health is more important BUT... watch out for those dental implants, those tracking devices, and those oral microphones... I mean, you MUST be careful ;)

Look AJ...no rush for the schedule. We aren't going anywhere!

Hmmm just a thought how about mrs whyfiles filling in on just an episode???
Brandon Riley
AJ please feel better. I’m so sorry to hear about your trials. As someone who found the why files in a time in my life I was struggling with extreme anxiety and insomnia combined with being on the road for work for hours a day I find myself checking multiple times a day for new episodes because they give me joy and peace. I hope you recover soon and feel better. Thank you for all that you do

Thanks for letting us know man. By all the comments here YOU also mean a lot more to us than you think AJ. Wishing you a speedy recovery from across the pond dude. Btw, keep the pain killers well hidden from HF 🙏❤️
Alyx
Wow, I understood everything you said AJ (even without the captions). However I do hope you get back to fighting form soon.
Zach Jacobs
AJ, you're an absolute trooper of a human being. Take these next few days to rest up. You're gonna feel so much relief at the end of all of the surgeries so just keep that light at the end of the tunnel in your mind and it'll all be over before you know it. Be safe, be kind (to yourself in this healing process, don't overdo it), and always know, that you are very appreciated.
Rob Potts
Came here to say what the 200 people before did. Listen to everyone and rest up, AJ!
ForsakenBorg
Had a bit of a dental emergency myself today, but nothing nearly as rough as that this time. Happy to hear you're doing okay! We appreciate you too! Sending all my best!
Kasey Erin
OMG AJ, please take care of yourself! This video made me so sad. You are appreciated more than you know. I don't know what it is about this year, but... it has sucked royally. First, my dog died, then my car needed two new catalytic converters within 7 months of each other, and two weeks ago, my apartment flooded. It's been rough. Sorry, just commiserating with you. Sending love your way. 💕
Diane Given
If my wisdom teeth extraction years ago is anything to base this on, you have my sympathies. However, here's a handy tip: The oral surgeon told me that if my face swelled, to put ice on it. It was summer, so I discovered that cold swimming pool water worked just as well. Hunker down in the water with only your nose and eyes above the surface like a human/alligator hybrid, and let the cold water lap your swollen cheeks. Looks idiotic, but it works, and you can hang out with your family while you're supposed to be recuperating. Ask me how I know. ;) Get well soon, AJ!!
Laura Hanson
AJ, you just let your money maker heal!
Amy Selbypfahl
Goodness, AJ! Please just rest 🙏
Andrew Daniel
Take a break and heal! Content isn't worth risking your health over. I love your stuff and can wait for you to recover. It's worth it!
Trent dummy what else would ya call me.
WTH is this!? Went from solid content, an amazing crew, n even better content…. To attempting to talk with rolled gauze pad in your mouth ? I absolutely support ya bro/team… but holy shit!
Niki Cortina
Omg please stop talking and rest! We'll all still be here! Please take care of yourself and positive thoughts for quick healing. ❤️🩹
Fluffy McTavish
You sir, are a freak of nature!! Lean back, take a deep breath in through your nose and then out through your mouth. Confusion say, "As beavers polish wood, so should YouTube creators not chew on said wood." Teeth are a wonderful thing. And I know for a fact that the tooth fairy does not bring money to the ones that have the teeth yanked in our later years.
MiseriesChild
Man, I wish you and everyone else the very best and take care of yourself AJ!! 🤘🤘
jason dommer
Thank you my friend! Heal your face, you got 3 more to go!! Implant episode was very good in my opinion. Thank you and the WF crew forever and always!!

We love and appreciate you, so just rest and heal. 💙
Odd Marcus
<3 always put you first,.. second is Jen, (well put Jen first in all other cases not involving dangerous tooth pain) , but, ouch,, tooth pain is no joke... been in your exact position too many times... don't rush the shows, come back on your terms of comfort. we'll all still be here.
Alan Schulte
Really glad you're on the path to recovery. I was genuinely concerned about you, thank goodness, :) see you on discord when you're better
Nero UH
Get better dude get dental work done hurts like hell I have had a lot of work done myself so I know how bad it hurts I had the same problem you had and believe me the pain from before the surgery can keep you making hard to sleep or your job
Craig William Dayton
AJ…you HAVE to AI that voice and use it at Halloween!!! 😂 Hang in there.
Scott Alexander Beasley
Where's your "is this real life" video? 🤣🤣🤣
Sherri & Tom
I used to always say "I can't be sick" or "I can't be hurt" because I ran my business and being down was not an option. Guess what... it's an option if your body says it is! Hey, we miss seeing new content, but you gotta take of yourself before anything else. You can't pour from an empty cup!
C.L. Landers
You are so funny, doing the update with the guaze in your mouth! 🤣 You're a tough one, man. Sorry you're going through it. This, too, shall pass.
Raithe77
Hope everything goes smoothly AJ, think you have had way too much excitment of the wrong kind this year.
Trish Edwards
I had the tooth surgery thing done last year, just not on an emergency basis. Honestly, it didn't hurt very much, but you may have had something more invasive done. Glad I opted for sedation. My mouth is small and doesn't open very wide while I'm trying to hold it open. They did what they had to do to get in there, and I was none the wiser.
Rick Herron
Oh kid it’s tough. I think you’ll be ok, with a little time.
Steve
Been there done that. You got this. We ain’t goin’ nowhere !,,

Fizzgig
Hope you feel better soon! Day 4 and it will finally start feeling better 😮💨🤗🤗🤗
Ruby Corundum
Take it easy, AJ. Imagine yourself on an airplane, and the O2 masks drop. They tell you to put your mask on first so you can help your loved ones. This is one of those times when you need to focus on your health so you can be strong and healthy for your family and the show. 🩵 God Bless 🙏🏻
Paul Campbell
Life keeps throwing challenges at you, doesn't it? Don't worry, the rest of us as well. Take care AJ & Family!

Yeesh, I wish you felt better. Hope recovery goes well. Hope the next series of surgeries go well, too. Hang in there, AJ.

Hang in there buddy. plenty of RUM for the Pain.

Sorry about that AJ. Take time to heal, we're not going anywhere.

At least you don't have to do it four more times! Heal up buddy, we love you
SandyK1014
Aww, take care AJ! Just take care of yourself, get recuperated, that probably exhausted you to give the update. Wishing you all the best.
Kyle Trimbach
What type of “implants” were those? 😏
David Pope
Ah, my old friend dental pain. You have my sympathies AJ. I’ve ended up speaking like that a few times over my 64 years. Here’s a little story to bring as much of a grin to your face as any dental work and anaesthetics will allow. Apologies for the length of the tale. Picture the scene. It’s a Sunday morning in the U.K. in the mid 1980’s. I wake up with tooth pain in a lower jaw molar that quickly becomes quite atrocious. Ibuprofen, paracetamol and codeine have as much effect as a fire extinguisher on a lithium fire in an ev battery pack. My wife for some reason calls my father. Not sure why at first ~ he’s great at diy but I’m not letting him near me with any sort of drill. BUT, with the pain impeding my thought processes, I’d forgotten that his dentist lived round the corner. Dad phones him for advice. Brian the dentist says, ‘Bring him to the surgery now. I’ll go and open up.’ This is totally unexpected. They’re not open on a Sunday. But, never look a gift horse in the mouth ehh? So off we go. When we get to the surgery, it was evident that Brian had a fair amount of paint spatter on him. He’d been doing some diy painting at home and hated doing it so much that he was more than happy to open up the surgery to help me. Brian tells my father that he’ll have to act as his dental assistant. Basically this means my father’s in charge of the suction tool. Now, as I’ve already said, Dad’s an absolute whizz at diy and his profession was as an electrical design engineer with Ford U.K. ~ I still have a load of his patents in my filing cabinet. So, a clever guy, really good with his hands and good hand/eye coordination ~ just not, evidently, with a dental suction device, with which he seems intent on removing my tongue. Mustn’t complain. The dental pain is awful. Brian identifies the tooth in question. Several injections follow, then the high speed drill followed by the dentist’s favourite torture device, the slow speed drill. The injections don’t actually seem to be helping as much as they should. He takes a close look inside the offending tooth. ‘Ah, look at this’ he says to my father, ‘This is what happens when the tooth has this much infection. The nerve refuses to be fully neutralised by the anaesthetic. Look, I’ll prove it.’ He sticks the needle right into the root area of my tooth and injects anaesthetic directly into the root canal nerve. This, it has to be said, was quite unpleasant. Pain still not gone but is reduced. He carries out a full root canal procedure. Once the tooth is filled, he says, ‘Ok. How’s that?’ I probe with my tongue. That tooth’s now ok ~ but why is the tooth immediately above it in my upper jaw now giving me the same sort of pain I’d had earlier? ‘Ah. That’s probably just referred pain ~ but let’s just have a look…. Hhmmm…well, David, you must be exceedingly unlucky. Looks like you’ve got a similar problem with that upper molar.’ Wow! Lucky me…… So, TWO root canal fillings carried out by a paint-spattered dentist aided by a man with zero training as a dental assistant. On a Sunday morning. I was exceedingly grateful as dental pain is a real horror. Brian never charged me either. What a great guy. He must have REALLY hated doing diy painting. Like my father, sadly now no longer with us. Thanks to a later incompetent medical procedure, I’ve lived in neuropathic pain for some 33 years now, 24/7/365. When it’s worse than usual, I tell people to imagine that it’s like their worst ever toothache but that they can never see a dentist for treatment. But that’s another story…. I know you’ll pull through AJ. You’re made of strong stuff. You must be, to put up with the damned fish. So don’t worry about us. Just allow us to worry about you.
Judy and Dave
Great to hear from you, now you're on the mend, hopefully all that infection is gone. Take it easy, we will be here. ❤️
Blackout
Oof...teefs hurt when they hurt! Rest up my man and take it easy...we'll be here when hecklefish feels up to writing your jokes again
NanTiki
Poor AJ! I hope Hecklefish is going easy on you! Seriously though, you take whatever time you need to get better. I just had an emergency root canal, myself, a few weeks ago. Nowhere *near* as involved as what you're going through! Just rest up and heal! We'll still be here because we appreciate YOU! ❤️
Vaughn Clinton
Get well and as one of your many fans and followers, heal correctly so that you’re not relapsing 😇

Sorry I missed Discord this weekend, but you all are very much appreciated by all of us. AJ, take some time off to get some rest and recover. We will be here when you are ready!
Shanon Freeman
Dang! I'm so sorry. Please, just rest. Prayers...
Dane Busick
It would be fun to incorporate a hologram episode theme that ties in with the narrative somehow and you could use AI AJ to deliver the episode?
Michael Strickland
Dude as we get older shit starts to brake sucks i know but what are ya going to do I am still recovering from being sick last fall and over the holidays so it is taking me the better part of a year but i am now 72 and getting old is really starting to suck. So hang in there and do your best and thank who or what ever it wasn't worse.
Lori M
You’ll sound like the Godfather for awhile. Take care and I wish you a speedy recovery! I’ll be here.
Kimberly Butler
Take time for YOU, AJ! I have a plan to be streaming ALL of your YouTube stuff when I go for a mouth full of implants in about a month or so. Rest and heal! We will be here!
Patrick L. Koehn
Hang in there AJ!!
Crypto Wife
AJ!! As a nurse I am ordering you to REST. Please please take care of yourself. We can wait.
Joshua Stubbles
Hope you have a quick recovery, AJ! I hate dental work too. Some years back, I had to get 7 teeth removed in one sitting (wisdom + 3). Not a fun time, but certainly better than the pain they were causing. Wish ya all the best. Don't work too hard - rest up! :)
Daisy Blossom flower child
I hope the pain is at least manageable. Oral surgery is no fun. 🙏🏻❤️
Susan Kutner
Get better soon!!!

It would seem that you and Othias are sharing in the curse of "Sodom's Touch" (the direct opposite of Midas's touch) where in all that is touched turns to shite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C&Rsenal
Urban Hermit
Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery, AJ! 🙂
David Torrez
Yes, both of those are true, no sweat Superman, get better, and I am viewing memory lane, your posts 3 years ago are some of my favorites. Oh, you forgot one "A man can't breathe, he can complain."
Patrick Thomas
Swelling doesn’t look that bad. Heal up and get back to work. 😜
Mindelynn
Rest. We will be here.
Dr Liz Windham
We luvs you all ⚡️❣️ Feel well soon we’re with you❣️❣️✨
Guillermo Duran
Feel better!!
Keith Haussel
Go rest, AJ. You need it.
Brenda H
We are all cheering for you for an easy recovery. My experience was to get lots of rest, drink lots of fluids and eat all your meals through a straw. You have to flush all that anesthesia junk out of your system to feel better. We appreciate you! And we will wait patiently...😊
Sindy Simms
Awwww please take it easy and get better.
Pmgrape
As the body ages these type of things come up. I feel for you and your situation as I have been there recently. Luckily oral injuries heal quickly. Be safe, be kind and know that you are appreciated(I couldn't resist).
Joanie
We’re still here cheering you on. Take care of yourself. 🙏

Take care of yourself AJ! We aren't going anywhere. Concentrate on feeling better and try not to push too hard. Feel better soon!
Sean
Seriously, A.J. I can totally empathize with your gratitude to your fans for your success and support. We love you, and it's hard to see you push yourself so hard...beyond the limit. It's really more important that you get better and heal correctly than jeopardize anything by just grinding it out. Love you and respect you, man, please please please rest. The fact that you had to put captions and how you sound should be a clear indication you need to heal.
Lee Payne (LRP)
I hope you have a speedy recovery AJ!
Jerry Taylor
I had an empyema of the left lung (An abcess) from pneumonia back in 95 and then in 2011, I had a peripheral anuerysm in my lower left leg. Other than a kidney stone about 5 years ago now, I have been in very good health. All my physical issues are lingering ones from going septic in those 2 major incidents. On the plus side, I now get a pneumonia vaccine every 5 years and kept my leg, even if it does have a significant dent between my knee and ankle! Hate to hear anyone else is dealing with pain from infections, as they can become serious very quickly.
Alice
Sleep as much as you can; forget about work for now…… we’re gonna wait! ❤️
Mark Branscum
Hang in there brother! Get better soon!
David Klein

Lyn Verna
My dear man...we are fine...we want you to get better...as we get older (and you aren't old...just sayin) this shit happens. Take care of yourself...drink water...not coffee from your new machine and get plenty of rest. Your fans aren't going anywhere and we understand. Love to all of you.
Teresa
😂 that's is love
Teresa
We need the Beaver Brothers to hide the mics, cameras and Ethernet cables 😂

Ouch! Hope you're feeling better!

I know right! Hope he bottles and sells whatever it is, I could use it, 😂
Rob Feehan
Concentrate on healing up. None of us are going anywhere. Feel better soon.
Teresa
🙏 hope that goes well for you
Teresa
Don't tempt him, lol
Teresa
So true!
Teresa
I hope you're being facetious, but then again, everytime I'd show up for work at Best Buy, the computers would crash, lol, so, I feel your pain, after a while you do start to wonder.
Jeremy Eggert
Rest up brother
Teresa
Oh my gosh! I'm never going to complain about receding gums again! I hope you're doing better!

John DeSantis
AJ, I wish I could take your pain away my friend. When you said "We only have to do this three more times" and you dropped your forehead into your right hand I make up in my mind how much you have been through recently and over the past few months. My heart goes out to you AJ. Please take time to heal yourself up AJ. Me and the rest of the folks on Patreon/Discord are here for you Brother. I always consider you, Jen, Gino, Your Family and Victoria a part of me. I'm grateful to you AJ.
Dan Magaro
Oh no! Sorry you have to go through this AJ. 😲
Shannon Mills
I'm sorry, that was not my intention to come across that way. AJ I'm sorry if I offended you. , 😞
Teresa
Ouch, glad you're okay now
Kelly Robinson
Ouch 😩 Take it easy on yourself AJ. X
Teresa
I know your point was to encourage but this sounds a little victim blamey
Jan McCartan
Get better! Best wishes!
MK NIGHTMARE
Dammit, I love you A.J.! (Platonically, of course) That was as funny as it was undignified, and really made me laugh! Praying for your swift recovery, and no complications in the following repairs!
Kevin Heidler
Audio was a little muddy. (Never lose your sense of humor! ) Get well, I'm going through dental work now too, so I can definitely empathize. 🦷
Teresa
Oh no! 3 more times! I'm so sorry, you're such a trooper for making an update! I hope you get lots of rest and heal quickly, not for the channel, but for you having a new lease in life! 🙏❤️
Bob Jonas
There's nothing more important in my mind than for you to heal up and take care of yourself. We appreciate all you do for us and you will never lose me as a patreon member. Health and family come first!

Rest and recover in the knowledge that your audience eagerly awaits your victorious return. We Love Ya AJ .

You focus on getting better. Take your time and try to relax and spend quality time with your family. We will suport you and will be here when you are well. Try to stop making videos for a little while. Although I will miss the videos.
Venus
Get well soon!
Jessica Craig
Omg!!! You should have had someone else don't this update you just had oral surgery!!! Go rest and feel better!!!!
Richard hill
hope you recover quick mate dentistry is the worst we all leave it till the last moment it’s a man thing i think
Walter Scott
You are putting far too much pressure on yourself. While I appreciate the dedication, rest and take care of yourself first, worry about content later. Your real fans aren't going anywhere if you don't put out content constantly.
Andrew Auerswald
I hope never stress out. I’m grateful for you and the Why Files. (Also Heckle fish) Your health (and especially mindset) should always come first. We’ll always be here.
Gary Hinchliffe
Glad to hear all went well. Although I emphasise with what you have been through I find it both great and courageous you did this update. It has been a journey you have endured but you haven’t endured it alone. We have all been here, right by your side. Stay strong and remember “you ARE appreciated “
Shannon Mills
You gotta let go of the stress, kid. It's manifesting in your body through illnesses or procedures which will bring you pain. The thoughts is where all of it starts. Try to imagine when the drugs wear off there will be no pain. Mind over matter because our minds shape matter. Either way, get to feeling better. I'll be sending you loving vibes along with a lot of other people. Namaste
Mark Reamer
Hang in there AJ. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF BEFORE you worry about us
Jason Clouse
Get better soon hope you have a speedy recovery. We will be here when you’re ready. You guys are much appreciated. Great video yesterday as always you put out great content

To be recovering from tooth surgery and still come on and give us an update in person. YOU are appreciated! Look after yourself, and hope that you're not in too much pain.
Melanie
Dear AJ, please take care of yourself and rest as much as you can. We love you. ❤️ If there’s anything that you need, please ask us and we will help you. We care about you because you care about us.

Dude! You should totally do a show like this for April Fools next year. Get better man. We will still be here when you are healed up.
DamnitDana
Feel better. Take the good drugs. 💞
Anita Sue Clark
And go back to the dentist... everyday if you need to to get those deading shots. That's what I do and it really helps.
Brad Brasfield
I scrolled down a good ways and haven’t seen anyone complain yet. I think that’s a record LOL Take care of yourself, first and foremost!
Amanda Hamlin
Oh my God that would be great!
S D Hall
Hope you’re feeling better soon.
Sean
Hi AJ I love your show always great thank you so much for all your hard work. You always have a great show .I just subscribed wishing you a very speedy recovery take care AJ
Anita Sue Clark
Let Hecklefish do the heavy lifting. Let him narrate and you give his crazy comments. Kinda like freaky Friday for the Why Files. And Ice.... plenty of Ice. It will numb and bring down the swelling.
Lu Aspon
Oh, buddy! We really appreciate the update, but now shush (as a librarian I'm professionally license to shush) and go ice that hole or it will swell. And nothing will hurt as bad as the infection, so rest assured. Seriously now, lay low, cool, and silent. This piranha (that's an insult in Brazil, btw, LOL) is sending you loads of love and wishing you a swift recovery!
Paul Nurse
Get well, and don't stress. All is good xx
William Kennison
Wouldn't it though?
Debbie Gonzalez
Praying for you. You are an inspiration to us all. Get well and God bless
BRIAN Balducci
Special episode hosted by hecklefish would be epic!
Gus Viera
Like everyone else has said, A.J., set it aside and let it run on autopilot until you're better. As you told us, you have a great team in place now so give them the ball. Take care, dude. Feel better!
William Kennison
Hang in there and get better. Let the fish pull his and Gerties weight for a change.
April Camp
I loved this omg AJ you never disappoint! I love that we get an anesthesia video from you! Did the rest of the team know? lol 😝 love you all! 💜💜💜
Nick Gaspard - AB5WX
This literally just happened to me lol I just got home from emergency dentist appt haha misery is shared, AJ.
Treegirl
Take Care AJ - thanks for your honesty. Weirdly I “just” found out I am going to need to have my bottom front two teeth extracted and implants to replace them due to reabsorption- which was probably due to some injury that happened to me as a kid (got hit in the mouth with a prop brick backstage at Barnum) . I’m feeling some anxiety but grateful to live in modern times and to have resources. Hope you get well soon and don’t worry about this shit we’ll be here when you feel better ❤️🩹
James
You're in our thoughts & prayers AJ. Take the time to get back to heal & get back to 100%. We like having you around.
Lee Hauxwell
Through my earbuds you sound like MIB using mind control.
Drayton Calhoun
Get well soon!
MikeD
Glad you've gotten round one out of the way, and this is probably the most important one -- yanking the problematic tooth. Installing the replacement tooth, while annoying, will be easier than what you just went through ... although don't hold me to that! Interesting that you did an episode about alien implants just ahead of getting prepped for a tooth implant. Make sure your dentist isn't a member of DARPA.
Tim Schmidt

Joseph Tavano
Fuck, man! You can't catch a break this year. Much love, take care of yourself. When you're back to 100% the content is gonna be beyond. Hang in there.
Phyllis Henderson
Take your meds!
Paulette Johnson
We all appreciate you, AJ! Take care and feel better! Unfortunately, the pain will ease in after the medications wear off! My thoughts and prayers are with you! Just know, we all can’t do without you, either! Tell Hecklefish to be nice while you recuperate! See ya soon!
Tina Lofthus
AJ - I think many of us who have stood by you understand the ups and downs of the average lifetime - Just when you think everything is about to smooth out and fly straight, you get hit from an unexpected situation that sends everything careening sideways. I -- WE -- GET IT. And it sucks. But we still LOVE YOU and the whole team! I will continue to stand by you -- support your efforts -- and appreciate all the hours of listening and viewing pleasure that you have provided. I wish you a swift recovery and all the best that life is waiting to offer -- ❤️❤️❤️ Tina Lofthus
Tim Schmidt
When my friends were going through mono, you can come back too early and get a relapse. Maybe if you try too hard, too soon, you'll never get better than better. Please heal up to really good.
Greg R
I'm sorry you're going through this, man. But you take care of you. The compilations are always a great way to revisit content while we wait. But there's no need or desire for you to rush. Get better!

Time for a cocktail. Get better soon

AJ, your work is important to all of us. I am always amazed at how much time you dedicate time and energy to your show. We all want you healthy and happy. Come back when you can!
Shane R. Monroe
Good lord, was that an OG Roadhouse reference? Bless you for keeping the classics alive.
Chel
Please take care of you first, and worry about content when you’re well again…. Don’t worry, we’ll be here when. You get back
Sandy
I was in your shoes about 18 months ago. The oral surgeon dug my exploded tooth out in pieces. It was a root canal tooth with a porcelain crown. Take your pain medicine on time today. DO NOT hold off taking it. Do not try to work. Your pain level will go out of control and you will lose more work time by not following instructions. By day two I could manage my pain with over the counter medication but I took a pain pill at bedtime to sleep for the next two days. Your mileage may vary. You may need narcotic pain pills for a longer time. It is important that you allow yourself to sleep or rest for healing purposes. BTW I'm a retired nurse so listen to me.
JIM CASTRO
oh my brother AJ...Government finally got to you, didnt they? "Marathon Man" style I can see too. I hope you feel better soon! Get stronger, come back to us on your time. We will wait. Let your awesome team do their awesome jobs. There is no 'community' without you brother. 😀
Ayla Allyson
Can relate I've had to have a lot of oral surgery, please take your time recovering we love your and the teams amazing work but your health should always come first😊
Frodo Khunt
Have a ai voiced video but muffle the audio and subtitle it , then you've got a video out and will make everyone feel bad who got angry 🤣
ExCalibur623
I’ve had these about 5 times in my life. I’ve had 17 root canals. Thank God my uncle & his daughter were my dentists for the majority of my life. I’m going in for 8 implants & complete reconstructive surgery in October on the bottom only. I’ve already done tops. 90-day liquid diet afterward. I feel your pain. Accidents suck
Aleksandar Jovanov
No worries AJ, hope the healing process goes well, you didn't have to actually record with all that gauze in your mouth if u didn't feel up to it, but hope it goes well
Keavy Knothe-Masino
Sorry you are dealing with this. Thank you so much for all your hard work and amazing videos

Christine Mayo-Brooks
Going through multiple oral surgeries the last 6 months too. Dental health is REALLY important. Follow through to the end. You’ll be glad you did.
Stephen Joubert
Dental work sucks. When I have oral surgery I'm down for at least a day if not 2. We are here. Take the time you need to pull it together. I watched the most recent episode this morning. It was awesome! Hang in there.
Richard Bramlett (H Y B R I D)
just..... LOVE YA BRO.
Amanda Hamlin
OMG. AJ. Three more times. I am sooo sorry for you. Bless you and I pray for the best with all of this

Speedy recovery. Smoke a joint and get some rest in the meantime
David Klein
I feel like I’m responsible for all this bad luck you’ve been having. Ever since I became a Patron, you’ve had one thing after another. Sorry dude.
Rhonda Page
Feel better soon good vibes sent your way
Chris Allman
Shit happens and it usually all piles up at once. Know you're appreciated.
Eric Naman
Take a pain pill, go to bed. Stop pushing yourself. Rest , relax , and recover. Stop worrying about content and TWF right now. Do you. Besides, I bet if you ask hecklefish, he will cover for you!
Michael Goad
Ok I get it and I’m personally fine with the comp video this week… but hear me out, how awesome would a full video of you with this voice and subtitles be?!!! Just saying it could have its own secret lore and I’m sure SMK could come u with a tshirt where you have your jaw wrapped like they did to signify a tooth ache in the old days. I mean you can monetize your pain!! Or you can rest and just get better, what ever dude!!! 😃
Nichole Parker
Would you record my voice mail message like this? 🤣 Get well soon ❤️
InSyder
Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I'm glad you're on the healing end of that mess. heal fast, friend. take care of you and have a great night

Martin Diderichsen
Hang in there AJ
Daniel Boucher
I'm glad you're doing well. Take care of yourself. We'll still be here. And, not that you asked, I'm fine with one or two interesting videos a month. I'd rather have one a month than you burning out and doing none!
SGTquig
Sorry, man. Just hearing you talk like that reminds me why I hate the dentist. Hope you heal up quick and the other visits are quick and painless.
None Yourbiz
Feel better soon AJ. I feel for you buddy. I’ll be having 6 teeth pulled in about 3 weeks. 😳
Dan B
Who is doing this dental work? Hecklefish? This dentist's work smells fishy to me. ok I'm done now, feel better.
Mr.Spider66
AJ is the dental care making you look younger? I mean other than talking like the parents in Peanuts. Your looking rested and younger looking. Best wishes on a relaxed recovery. A compilation is awesome. Hammered Rabbit
Walt!
Yo! I can commiserate brother. I had a tooth growing in my sinus. To get it pulled was an ordeal. Ended up just getting full implants as I was already going through the process. Worked out. Love you man. Chin up. No one, well no one reasonable, cannot understand the situation. Even before the tooth thing. Multi tasking is the teaching of corporate America to make you more productive for them. The sign of a leader and entrepreneur is focus. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
Lee and Julia
May your health improve and stay well!
Steve Wilcox
Understand completely. I've been going through something similar. Hang in there it will be over and once it's over you'll have no more problems. Gets some rest and we will be still here when you get better. 👍🏽
Eric Naman
Just had all my teeth removed 3 weeks ago and will be getting implants in a month or so. I know your pain right now . Rest,relax, and recover my friend. Hecklefish will cover for you.
Rick
I'm glad it went well and that you're doing what you need to to get better. Thanks for the update Aj

Oh AJ. I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. If you don’t feel the vibes of your extended family, hugs and whatever makes you feel comfy. Take your time getting better. Between you and Jen, what a year. Always in my thoughts, prayers and meditation.
SusanWoodcarver
No matter what you’re going through, know that all of us here still got your back. and that we love you and your content enough to be patient and totally understanding. Sometimes, life can be a bitch. Sending you and your staff lots of hugs. Really really.🥰❤️🥰
Cody Kennedy
Glad it went well, now why isn't someone taking the mic away from you before you say something inappropriate while you're all doped up? Lol. Quick recovery man.
tralphaz02
I know how you feel bud. I once had to have three root canals done in a matter of about a 3-week span. Luckily I had an excellent dentist who knew exactly how to deaden the proper areas and how to do the procedures correctly. Once I got the feeling back I had zero pain after each one. So I'm hoping you have the same experience. Hang in there.
Jon Halliday
Hang in there dude I had a similar thing a few years ago and you will be surprised how quickly you feel so much better 👍
Maverick
Take the time you need. Life is more important than content. I’m just happy you still love what you do cause it makes me happy! Love the combination of humour, history and debunking lol. Take care AJ.

Daniel Ducharme
So sorry for you AJ but the important thing is that you are ok. Listen to your body maybe it is telling you something. Personally I don’t mind waiting a little for the next episode as long as your are healthy and everybody else in the team. Take care and we’re with you!
