If you think saying freedom of speech is going to save you, you haven’t been watching The Why Files

DeeKay

Hope you feel better soon. Sinus and tooth pain is the worst. Life doesn't always conform to a weekly schedule so totally understand needing some extra time. Get some rest. If you don't have your health you haven't got anything.

Les Clemens

You are not alone. I have to get COMPLETELY numbed up before even a cleaning. Be well! You are greatly appreciated!

kate winchester

Bless you. Take allll the meds. Tooth pain is just so miserable! It won’t be forever. Hugs

Covertkenny

Legal issues? That makes sense with a friend like 🐠. I just updated my insurance with dental and they appointed me a dentist. Be strong brother. Get some good meds and ALWAYS ask for laughing gas when you go in. I have a very high threshold for pain but also a very high tolerance for meds like novacane. I felt all 4 wisdom teeth pulled and swore to never be awake again. It also doesn't hurt to do a gagger of some candycain😉 to numb the inside. Love you brother. I've watched every episode at least 20 times. It's a perfect blend of content, humor, and your voice has become my ACMR. Very soothing. Get well

Paul Davis

Freedom of speech We got your back

Paul Davis

Thanks for the update, I've had problems with my teeth and it's the worse pain pretty much that you can have, I actually caught sepsis without septic shock and they didn't know how I was not in shock so I feel for you brother get well soon

Mark Workman

AJ get better, your writing and projects are so fun. THanks

April Ellison

I love your update ❤️ I was curious what happened. I hope you health is doing better. Teeth stuff is the worst to deal with.

tihnkyr bhell

I have felt your pain, many moons ago I had the same swollen face/tooth issue, the dentist told me I was two days away from being in the hospital due to a staff infection. One surgical drain in my gums, extraction and antibiotics for a week took care of me for a while. Like others have said, take care of yourself, we'll be here when you are well enough to make content.

Samantha Day

I know I just officially joined last month, but wanted to add in here that no matter what you do, when you do it or how you do it, you’ve got a loyal fan, forever. Life happens man. People forget sometimes and their entitlement rages, unfortunately. Meh, what can you do. Hope you are getting a long well! I’m watching all the video updates so, I’m sure I will see. Thanks for everything! Much love and light sir.

Mrs.J

only 6 hours to get antibiotics? here in england id be lucky to get it within 6 days. and thats for kids; going from pharmacy to pharmacy all over town begging. hate the american healthcare system all you want, but you get what you pay for - and nhs is "free".

TheSlowNorris

I was always amazed at the frequency of your shows, especially considering the quality.Even once a month is still super fantastic! I too am waiting on a hecklefish talking dolly or even fishy bedroom shoes for my BIG feet. Keep it up AJ at any pace you fancy.

Melissa Webster

I love rewatching so many of your videos and any episodes you bring out, long or short! Your health and wellbeing is the priority ❤️ you channel is a bonus that we get to enjoy 🥰 lots of love to you AJ, heckle fish and the rest of the team/family 😁❤️

sharon kalinowski

Hi AJ! I'm a brand new member, but I've enjoyed your program for months! Now that I'm alone in a house with 17 rescue animals, who are tired of hearing me talk, they get to listen to YOU, as well❣️ ;) THANK YOU for making this highly entertaining and educational show...Your personality shines a bright light, and I am grateful 💜

Denis Burr

Are you okay? I can't leave a message on yhis video explanation

RobNJones

We’re willing to watch anything you have time to post! Take care of yourself first… we’ll be here when you get back

Justin LeBeau

And your work is amazing I can tell you really bust your a** on these videos and it's amazing how dedicated you are to your work get better first.

Justin LeBeau

Your good take care of you man I understand tooth pain is the worst pain ever hope you feel better!

Harleyquin62

You’re a pain and suffering is more important than any other BS. Take care of yourself. You’re too important of a person.

Ian Mcneil

Chin up AJ, we all love your work. However it's important to look after yourself

Dennis Walker

Sharing helps! so I am happy for updates on how you are going

Dennis Walker

I love your content and approach to all your videos,and I am just happy to watch what you have, the main thing is, to look after yourself get your tooth fixed, and come back in good health .Rooting for you! ( No pun intended!)

Xerravon

Im fairly new to TWF, been subbed, your content is worth the wait! take care of yourself. thank you.

Edson Andrade

We support YOU because you’re like a family member who’s talented to entertain every get together we have. As a family, we all care for YOU not for the “guy who talks to a fish”! (No offense, hecklefish!) Knowing that you’re in pain or not feeling well concerns us all! Take care of that infection as it can spread, remove the tooth (painful!), and feel awesome to share with us all of your insights and cover the stories we all got used to seat and listen to you telling them! Be safe brother!

Chris

Similar situation with my wife, minus the sinus infection. We were out to dinner, she was eating something relatively non-descript .. when I could tell from looking at her something was pretty wrong. She was like "I think I just cracked a tooth." Fortunately she found a dentist that she was comfortable with...she's not a huge fan of mainstream medicine, so she was looking for someone who would recommend a root canal as an absolute LAST resort. They pulled the tooth .. fortunately it was a molar, so she didn't need or want an implant. Anyway .. heal up brother. Just became a Patreon specifically to support you while you're dealing with this crap. I enjoy what you do too much not to support you.

Erik Potter

You have a great show

Bert wilson

Thanks for the update! Love your content. I’m late to the show. So I have a ton of content to go through.

Kathy Anderson

Just join take care AJ. Say 👋 to Heckelfish. Love the show.

Cody Osborne

Honestly, without you in good health, we have no content. Take it easy, I'm personally here to support you and get good thought provoking content. Good things are worth waiting for. Take care of yourself.

SC W

Best thing you could do. Pull that tooth. Root canals are the ONLY time medical professionals allow something dead to remain attached to your body. A root canal attempts to kill the root (this includes the tooth itself) and then put the dead tooth back in. Bad idea. Talk to others who have had a root canal. They almost always have a horror story of recurrent pain, infection, or having the root canal let's call it reattempted if that is a word. Pull that tooth. Implants are bad too with the whole drilling into your jawbone and inserting screws but that's probably its own episode, lol.

Yovana Rathbone

Please take care of yourself! We will wait for new shows.

Sophie Lewis

Please do a video on the science side of time travel

Sophie Lewis

Thanks for the update , I hope you get better soon and I was wondering if you had done something on bigfoot, , if not please do a video on that.

neil kelleher

Feel better. btw have you ever checked out the Blackwell Ghost Documentary? Thanks

Levi Yoder

Thanks for the update. Glad you caught that before it was too late. Glad your letting go a little and delegating your editing. It's rewarding to do it all on your own but the price of that becomes heavy. And your fans know your a human. Stuff happens. I wish there was a way for you to post short updates on YouTube without it messing up your algorithm. Getting on patreon is the best money I've spent by far though. Get feeling better and I'll send some good energy your way tomorrow.

Jay Kirwan

AJ, We ALL have stuff. I'm sorry to hear about your tooth/sinus problem. Tooth pain is the WORST!! I had an infection from my tooth travel down my neck and infect my clavicle joint. I had to have surgery twice to debride the bone and remove the infection. Right now I have a 2x3 hole in my chest with a wound vacuum attached to it. I'll be on amox for months. So, stuff happens man. Get better, make content when you can, we will be here because we enjoy what you do very much. Hell, I have nothing but time....hope everything goes according to plan man. Take care of yourself FIRST. We got you. 🙏🫶👊🤙

DL

Thoughtful video. Keeping it real sets the channel apart from others. Sharing vulnerabilities is just a reminder that we all have stuff that comes up & you are people just like your audience. Hope you feel better & the life static calms down.

Danielle Butts

Loved this! Would love to see more videos like these!

Jason

Appreciate the update. Take care of yourself first.

Ron Rhodes

Hmm. Gotta lay off that manna maybe buddy? I’m not funny :( The exact same thing happened to my girlfriend ! Her face puffed up overnight and she had to spend a few days in the hospital for the same tooth! Just crazy how fast something like a tooth can make you very sick and potentially kill you ! Your experience is so parallel to what happened to my baby. Especially the health care system semantics. Just pull it out! Dang! Hope you feel better soon!

madstaty

Heck. Don't worry about a new episodes! This tooth horror is a pretty good episode.

Andi Fanti

Gute Besserung lieber AJ

Mark

Feel better AJ! Well take it! The short science video will work. Maybe you should do a full segment when you’re better on the US medical system and the corruption and turtle pace of things.

Kristen Allen

Yes. Please do a science video. Hope you feel better soon!!

Steven Files

Stay safe

BackRoadGypsy

That is the same thing that happened to me as a child. I couldn't get numb. My daughter is going through this right now. She is having sinus surgery this coming Tuesday. She has been going through this since December of last year. But hers was caused by the dentist not pulling the tooth slow enough, we have those long roots too. Good luck!

Owen Lebouef

Don't worry; there are bizarre celestial events that are going on this year; Lionsgate was especially rough, and there have been more numerous and larger solar spots and flares than have been seen in our lives which affects the magnetic field of the planet. Everyone is experiencing rough stuff and aggravated sensitivity. Praying for perfect health for you - remember, EVERYTHING is temporary.

Arianna Stewart

So sorry to hear about all the stressors and pain and surgery. Don't have anxiety over it, you guys have built a supportive and loving community that's around you. Sending light and love and remember the wound is where the light enters!

John Tressler

No shame in tears.

Bryan

Hey AJ, I know this is a couple of weeks older now but I'm sorry to hear that you have been going through some rough times lately. Glad the surgery went well though, that is encouraging! I think brief sciencey episodes about quantum entanglement/physics would be fascinating, if you are able to produce them, I try to understand it for myself but I believe you could communicate it in a way that is digestible

Darryl Carnell

Did I jinx you by joining patreon? I swear, I never joined patreon before, I had no idea this would happen. (I jest to cheer you up). My son almost died from a neglected absessed tooth just 2 months ago, please stay alive also. You matter, and what you do matters. I wish you great health and speedy healing. Good luck Sir. Blessings on you and all you love. Peace and wellness to you and yours.

Patty Greer

I hope your feeling better!

JL

Take care and do what you can if it fits your ability.

Joanie Yannotti

Science is good.😊

John Walko

To the science thing. Absolutely

Tony Doyle

I’d love to hear more about you and your life! Very interesting and entertainingly!!!

Tony Doyle

You just get better, AJ. We support you and love you! You take time to heal…we’re here for you. No apologies. Luv u Bub!

Brian Jordan-Dean

I know tooth pain. Had half my mouth removed a few years ago due to very bad teeth. I understand tooth pain. Now I have a double partial and life is livable.

Brian Jordan-Dean

Thank you so much for the update

Gregg Joseph Halteman

I hope all is well and your recovery is swift! You are important to many people, and we all care about you.

Trent dummy what else would ya call me.

You’re absolutely right. Thank you Christopher for catching that! I didn’t mean to incorrectly spell Rogans last name either. Once upon a time we could shut autocorrect off on cellphones haha. I was excited cuz I heard “Rohan” mention The Why Files. ;)

DamnitDana

Thinking about you today. 💞

Eric Parks

Glad to hear you're taking care of yourself! My wife says I could learn a thing or two from this video 😂 Good luck on your surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Mona Glassford

A burdened shared is a burden halved.

Brodie

Yes, appreciate knowing what's going on! Take care!

cory dahms

Yes to more updates

Sharon Grabovac

More personal updates! I care!

Sharon Grabovac

AJ, I really miss your videos but I will never give up on you! You are so REAL. Sorry for your troubles. Get well soon. Those abscesses can affect the meridian lines and cause all sorts of bodily issues you wouldn’t expect. Careful. Look for a biological dentist (we have good ones in CA). Hope the antibiotics work! Beware of titanium implants. There are better materials!!! Shorter science-y videos would be super appreciated!!

Katy 🖖

Yes to science and updates please! Your fans care about your wellbeing. You never owe any explanation, but positive thinking in powerful and we are legion.

Katy 🖖

So so sorry to hear about the amount of pain your in. I hope the antibiotics keep helping bath issues. Positive and healing thoughts to you. 🤗

Brian Harder

No need to apologize AJ, I had a similar situation about 10 years ago, with a tooth that felt fine and then didn’t. And when that happens, it knocks you down. Glad you’re recovering and starting to feel better!

Bonnie and Ed

A hairline fracture in a tooth will bring Thor to his knees…

John Knox

I have the same thing with my sinuses. I've just been taking silver and garlic as natural antibiotics. I should probably see a doc.

Cody Kennedy

Hope you're feeling better with the antibiotics man. Good luck on Monday.

LEA SIDDALL

Hello 👋

MadPete

Just get better AJ, don't worry about us... we can wait! Your health is more important. Best of luck with the surgery buddy!

Charles Kelley

Take care of yourself and get better. Tooth issues are horrible. I haven't had them yet, but my wife has. So I'm very familiar with the emergency search for a dentist.

Arwen Coughlin

We hope you feel better soon. Good luck on Monday with your surgery, AJ.

Avatar

Get the rest you need. Sounds painful, stress will only hurt the healing process. Thank you for all you do!

Frank

You're falling apart old man!! Lol get better AJ you're always in our thoughts and hearts

Kathy

Take care of yourself! Wishing you speedy recovery.

Rich Marvelli

We love you AJ Keep your self healthy and please floss every day.Don’t get a root canal just get an implant.

Hayden De'Bell

id love to have more of these and some science clips you are a very intelligent person so any videos you make are interesting and entertaining

Crypto Wife

Also, stop apologizing as you can do No Wrong in our eyes. Hope you feel better soon!

Crypto Wife

As someone who recently went through a double root canal at once…I feel your pain! You should be good to go after they do the surgery.

BlueaMeanie

Clearly you care a ton about viewers, followers etc. thanks for the update, no need to apologize in my opinion. Get better!

Karen Knight

Feel better soon! xoxo

Aaron Stencel

Prayers sent your way man!

Marcus Rossetto

The tooth, is out there.. Gum abscess nearly killed my uncle. He didn’t get it looked at right away. Anytime there’s an infection near the brain it can be really dangerous. We all hope ya the best AJ! Sounds like you’re doing what you need to do. Best of luck man ! Science episode sounds fun!

Kimberly Butler

Just hang in there AJ! We are here and hope you get better! You need to take some AJ time and heal!!!

Chris and Cindy Neutson

Hey A. J. - hang in there. We'll be here for you.

Darren Simmons

How are you doing? Update vid to get a fix? Lol

DanR

Hang in their AJ you got this man.

Drayton Calhoun

Folks, after suffering 4 heart attacks and like a moron I kept working, when you get to a certain age ( I’m 68) even a minor infection can be fatal. Shoot, I had legionnaires disease 7 years ago. I’m just too dumb to know when I’m supposed to die.

Drayton Calhoun

Dude, you are only human! Take care of yourself!

Drayton Calhoun

Abscess and impacted. I had two at one time. Get it taken care of it because it can go to gangrene. I’ve been there. Sheer agony.

Christo

Let me guess no why files today? You said every Thursday right here on this video!!! Gonna start call TWF the WTF files. Already lowered my Patreon to the lowest tier sure I’m not the only one. Honestly I’m hoping it ain’t drugs or something cause as a former addict I can see patterns

Deirdre a greene

The man had the voice.

Aaron

Any word on a new episode?

Craig N Cooper Ricketts

Someone have some sticky fingers??

Erin Patrick

Sinus infections THE WORST, I had one that swole my entire face up once, I couldn’t lay down without excruciating pain, after 3 different antibiotics, a steroid pack and all the OTC stuff… PLUS 10 days it started to relent. Upon attending the referral to a ENT from it not resolving easily, I explained to them what was going on, and how I wanted to take a drill to my sinuses, he said if you had come in last week we would have aspirated with a large bore needle. I looked at him and said I would have welcomed it because I thought I was going to die, from the pain and lack of sleep. As for upper teeth, abscess… same deal I told my dentist, I am having pain, I have had a sinus infection for months (his response was that a abscess tooth won’t cause an sinus infection… 🙄💚, sure) and my gum above the tooth that was only kinda hurting was blowing up with puss, 🤮. But you know what, that never ending, sinus infection that wouldn’t respond to antibiotics magically gone after I had a root canal and crown, imagine that… Doctors just need to listen to their patients, well those of us in tune with their body’s who aren’t ignorant. It would save a lot of time, money and taking of antibiotic’s that are unnecessary. Glad you are getting that tooth out, feeling better and on the mend, I was starting to worry that it was something more serious. 💚👍🏽🙏🏼

Corey Scott

Hey no worries man take care of yourself first. Content can wait.

Carlos Brett

Love from latin América and hopefully you are evolving better AJ, keep with the amazing work

Judy and Dave

Just wanted to check in, it's been a week, hoping AJ is on starting to feel better. ❤️

Stahr Freedle

Just a little update- AJ still alive? Thank you.

Jeff Kovarik

Love your videos! Thank you for the update! Take care of yourself. Looking forward to more great content in the coming weeks! They're worth the wait.

Barbrie

Sounds good, but take care your teeth first. No worries if it doesn't happen.

Tom Schnorr

Ivermectin might help

Lenny Torney

Was wearing my Fear the Crabcat shirt out and about here in Montana where I live and some people recognized it and mentioned the Why Files by name.

Lenny Torney

I met Majel Barret at a Star Trek convention in Pasadena around 1996. I happened to have a mini tape recorder on me. She recorded my answering machine message for me as the computer voice of the Enterprise D. Sadly I know longer have it either

Christopher Troksa

So,the show is on indefinite hiatus? That’s sad.

Christopher Troksa

Do you mean Chris Harris?

Trent dummy what else would ya call me.

Joe Rohan mentions The Why Files!!! WAY TO GO WF TEAM! Sam Harris episode approx 2hr 25 min mark. Keep rockin it WF!

Scott Kosarich

I joined about a month ago. The best thing I like is your willing to be honest and upright! That is refreshing in a world full of fake everything! You have no idea! Well, maybe you do. Like others I empathize for your issues, but I'm very glad that it seems you are getting headway. The way I see things, the Past is for learning from, tomorrow is for Hope, and all we have is right now, and weather we decide to be the best we can be at the time, witch may not be as good as it was yesterday. Thank you so much for your candidness, YES! I love things like this where you are one on one with us and how you are. And YES, little things on science or whatever would be welcome, but not necessary. I care more that you continue on, in spite of the speed bumps. You and your family and your team are in my thoughts! Thanks so much for being who you are. One more thing... That was such an excellent tribute to James Earl Jones! Thanks for that! Scott.

Justin Moore

dude that's crazy. Coincidentally I went to dentist a couple of weeks ago for on and off tooth pain and I need to have an old root canal removed and get an implant because of chronic infection underneath. Oof! Thanks for update :)

Peter V. Kuhlmann

AJ, take care of yourself first, man 😊♥️ I’m enjoying your videos

Aaron

So just want to put this out there. Bob Lazar talked about how one of the crafts we obtained that was from out of this world We obtained through an archaeological dig. Now we have David Grush basically coming out and confirming that we obtained technology through an archaeological day. The crash they're talking about was in Italy in the '30s I believe. And David grush basically what I gathered is that he is on a task force that is exposing how military contractors such as Lockheed Martin and others are hiding things from Congress. I feel like you could really explain this better than anybody so I figured I'd put out the suggestion thanks again for all your amazing content and hard work AJ as well as your team I have so much respect for all the hard work you do keep it up.

Patrick McDonald

Hudson County.

AndreaV

Hugs n ,issues from the Netherlands. I hope you feel better. Quantum Entanglement sounds fascinating.

Paulette Shackelford

Anybody from Collingswood NJ here?

Paulette Shackelford

Wow, that happened to me sort of when well I have this rare eye disease and I get needles of Cortizone in them and I got so many needles. The Cortizone just started to break my teeth and 50% of my teeth were still baby teeth so you know, they just fell out when I got older wow I’m sorry to hear that about your problem. Hope you’re feeling better now.

Paulette Shackelford

Sorry about my typing. It’s really horrible. I just wanted to say I’m keeping you in my prayers.

Aaron

So what's your rough estimate for a new episode?

Adam Dickinson

I truly empathize with what you're going through. Tooth pain is absolutely no joke—it's easily the worst pain I’ve ever experienced, even after some serious accidents. I can’t even imagine what you’re feeling right now. Wishing you a speedy recovery because your health is the most important thing. Take care of yourself first, and cheers to a quick and smooth recovery!

Shireen Ray

I nearly died from sepsis and was on antibiotics so long my teeth started beaking off and my hair fell out. Teeth are an absolute nightmare! On another note, Amazon Prime used to have seasons 1 and 3 for free, and I paid for season 7. NOW, they no longer have any Why Files on Amazon. Any idea what happened there?

DannyO

Quantumentnglement is what your tooth is going through now but it will work for a quickie episode!! Luv ya Why files team and FAMILY! OH Yes more stuff. We like stuff!!!!!

Brad Beatty

Thank you AJ!

Azoz

I’m enjoying the random episodes timing keeps it fresh 😂. Take care of yourselves. Few late episodes is nothing compared to your health and I support you 100% on that matter

Nellie- (Helen)🤗💃🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Im so sorry to hear you have been in a lot of pain☹️♥️ but i can see how worried you are about us, we don’t matter….YOU DO! You honestly really look so worn down😢 please please look after you FIRST 🙏🏽 Book a holiday and go have lots of fun and let your hair down 😊🤗 Sod Youtube and patreon! It’s YOU that matters, and if you don’t post a video…. Then we can wait for however long it takes! Seriously please have some special YOU TIME🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️

Wesley McGill

Tell heckle fish to get off his lazy ass and take care of u. You put up with his smart ass. He needs to pull his weight. 🤣😂🤣. Get well soon!

Craig Blevins

AJ - I feel so badly for you and know exactly what you are going through as I had a very similar thing happen several years back. I am sure I speak for many when I say, your health and well-being come first, and you do what you need to do to heal. You are so much more important than a new video release. Best to you on a safe recovery.

Nikki G_0

AJ, I hope you're doing better by now. I have a similar situation with sinus cavity being right at the top of a tooth that was extracted. If I wanted to have an implant in that spot I would have had to have a bone graft done so the post would have something to go into. The bone graft would've had to heal/strengthen for several months before the post could even be set. I opted for a bridge instead. Something to consider.

Marz X

Been there with a toothache premolar starting on one Sat night no dentist until Monday… I ended up having an emergency root canal and later a crown but as soon as they open the tooth and relieve the pressure w/ antibiotics you feel better almost immediately… However, I am still haunted by the pain I felt for 48 hours that left me in bed and walking around my home delirious with an unforgiving bashing electrical pain on the whole right side of my face… Has to be one of the worst… Aside from a brachial plexus injury I had which is also nerve damage in the spine… You’ll make it through, hang in there…

JerykoOo

Stay strong man. Teeth and kidney stones are the worst pain I personaly experienced..

Laura Love

Victoria is your guardian angel…. You are so fortunate to have her…. I am here and I will continue to be here and I will keep you in my thoughts to get better and heal….. I have been there and it sucks! I feel so bad you have to go through this…. Teeth connected to sinuses are the WORST THING EVER !!! I am so sorry you have to deal with this A.J.

Sandy

AJ I had a similar issue. They did a root canal of a root canal. The infection had been eating away at the bone. With the infection being trapped inside a crown. The good news is at my six months recheck with the Endodontist the bone had remineralized. He was really pleased with the progress. So once you can clean up that infection you should be able to rebuild the bone again. Just for heaven's sake get that sinus infection cleaned up.

Dalton Bilsky

I hear you AJ - I had the nerve die on a molar once, most intense pain I ever felt. And same thing, went from nothing to good lord this hurts in like 24 hours. At one point, I was popping prescription pain killers every 90 minutes or so instead of the usual 4.6 hours just to kill the pain. Thank god my dentist was able to pull it within the next day or I don't know what I would have done. Take care of the tooth, we will wait.

Michael Alessandro

Totally fine AJ. I recently had to get one of my bottom molars pulled because of a root canal gone wrong where a piece of the drill bit was stuck in my tooth for years so now like yourself I am also getting an implant. Take care of yourself that’s the most important thing. There are so many awesome episodes we can rewatch while you do!!!

Steve Haber

As always, do what you need to do for your health and tooth. Yes to anything you want to do. Just take care of yourself! Thanks for the update AJ. We love and support you always!

Jasmine Jean

True. So true!

Jasmine Jean

Hang in there…. I’ve been worried that something pretty bad has been going on. Please take care of yourself…and Don’t be afraid to be open with all of us. I think you have pretty supportive viewers/fans. However, it would be so great if you back off the AI and just let us see your face instead. I would definitely prefer seeing you over the comic book style AI. Anyway, you are appreciated. Hang in there. Healing is not linear…... Jj

Becky Ward

As someone who recently went through nearly the same thing, I have a lot of sympathy for the pain you’re experiencing. And you’re right, nothing is more awful than tooth pain (rivaled only by spinal injuries & migraines…. Both of which I also deal with on a daily basis). Luckily my tooth issue got 100% better within a day or so of getting that tooth out. My family will keep you in our prayers & I hope you get to feeling better asap !! Dont worry about us, we’ll be here when you get to feeling better 😊

Jack M.

Take care of yourself. I know I'll always be here and ready whether it's a short or not. I'm just a solid fan behind you in your endeavors and achievements. You have a great team and support. Lean on them when you need to. But mostly, Be well......

Lenny Torney

Hang in there tough guy! Lol. We'll be here when you get back. Get well soon.

Benjamin

Please any content is better than nothing. Get to feeling better. Love your stufff.

Conrad Lombard

Dude I feel your pain. I've got not one, but two!!! impacted wisdom teeth sitting on top of each other in my nasal sinuses. Apparently I am part of the 1% in the world with this genetic condition. It's a barrel of joy having recurring sinusitis.

David

You guys are legends…. Keep well and looking forward to the next video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

cassandra staples

I forgot to add that mouth pain is no joke. Been there, done that then torched the shirt. I like to rewatch older stuff anyway :)

Sarah Savage

I’ve had two root canals and never a problem. I think it matters that the dentist is competent.

cassandra staples

You can make a short vid if you want, but I'm pretty sure we're good waiting for a normal upload (to take some stress off). Take your time, take care of yourself. We know it's coming and we're good

Sarah Savage

I have a great dentist, but I have no clue where you live 🤷‍♀️

Rosalina

Do what u got to do!

TyBlee

Nice pun on fill the gap 🤣🤣much love AJ hopefully you have a speedy recovery and thanks for mentioning what is going on. It makes me want to go to the dentist

Gayle L Sexauer

I pray you have a speedy recovery.

Timo Rothaus

Man, I am so glad I got the good-teeth-DNA! How about a Gino's Storyhour for this weeks episode?

Krimson

Sounds like a ruff time man. Get rested up and come back when you're ready to go. I know I'll still support the channel and I'm sure I'm not alone

Ittybittypilot

Well just roll with your schedule…I’m enjoying rewatching older episodes. GET HEALTHY

Kyle Rowe

I’m recovering still from having a tooth out. It’s not fun

Mikey Jay

Dude, take some time, fix yourself, heal. Can't have what we love without a healthy AJ!

Gail Mugford

You’re too hard on yourself sir. Take care. Get better. And we’ll patiently wait for the next episode 🤓

Linda Lines

My prayers are with you. Hopefully everything works out for you so that you can get back to normal.

Vernon Goodenough

Only love for the Why Files and you AJ, we care about you ! Hope you feel totally better soon. Big hugs from France !

Bob Helferstay

AJ you have a lot of excuses for your schedule being jacked up. Every one of them is 100% legit. Remember, it's YOUR channel and it's YOUR schedule.. A lesser content creator wouldn't even bother making content. Take care of yourself, your health and your family. Those are the things that are important. Your fans will be here.

Jared Larson

AJ I hope you’re feeling better 🙏🙏🙏 I found myself watching a documentary on Fort Knox and I stumbled upon a ufo sighting and a army pilot shot down by a ray of light 🤓 do you have information about this incident??

Ernest Ulabarro

I highly recommend a Clear Choice implant. They have a great network of dental practices and are very reasonable. Get better!

De La O

Fill the gap! 😆 As my dentist once said to me, "you only have to brush the teeth you want to keep."

Jamie Johnson

AJ, please take care of yourself !!!!

Nancy L Good

Watched this after watching the Compilation, which I thank you for. I sympathize with your pain. Sinuses and tooth disasters are my Achilles heel and the bane of my lifeform. Get better soon and edumicate us😇🤧

Eric Arnold

Yes more updates please

dustin henson

I'm gonna skip the video, it's snot that I don't care it's more that I understand being prone to sinusitis myself. Get lots of rest and don't come back until you're good and healthy. And if anyone is being a snot about it, send them some. 😛 Thanks for all the awesome videos you've given us.

Ginger Actual

Hope you feel better soon. Also am I the only one that was looking at the closet door the whole video waiting for something to creep out lmao

Ignacio Montenegro

Also I understand how annoying is to have sinusitis, I tend to have it twice or more per year. There’s a mentholatum nasal inhaler you could try which has helped me a ton. I got a ton more tips for sinusitis (from experience) so message me if you want and I’ll be happy to give you some advice. The product I mentioned is this one: https://a.co/d/eX1knyQ Let me know how that goes

Ignacio Montenegro

Hey! Sorry to hear that, hope you recover well. Regarding your idea for some short science focused episodes, I really like it and I believe that in the type of situation you are now is the best time to try out new things cause maybe it could be a huge success. Keep up the great work!!

MikeD

Take care of that tooth by 86'ing it! It would be great if this episode cures the sinus issues. Few things in life progress evenly. You built the foundation for success from 2020 through 2023, which enables you to handle the speed bumps of 2024. You'll be back on your normal schedule soon. And, sure, I'd love a short "sciencey" episode.

Jassy Sebby

Tooth problems are one of the worst things I’ve been through and I’ve been through a lot. So many weird things can happen. I have a friend that had an ingrown hair wind around one of his upper roots. He’s a tough guy and he was beside himself with pain. I agree with pulling it. I finally found a really good dentist and she advised against root canals. I had one blow up once and it was such a nightmare experience. Sounds like you’re doing the best thing. I hope it all goes smoothly for you. I’m brand new to the Why Files. I feel like I’ve discovered kindred spirits. Thank you for doing what you do ❤️🤗

IceeKing

I joined patreon the month everything changed lol. But im stickin with ya AJ!

Carol Green

Anything quantum would be cool. Take care of yourself. Tooth pain is the worst

Ed

You are human. Dude you need anything from San Diego hit me up.

Martin Diderichsen

Your a REAL Man. Keep going

Theresa Christenson

So sorry you’re in pain! I have the same thing: long tooth roots. I had gum surgery on my right side after my cheek swelled up. Same as you: cracked root. Now I have the same problem on my left side. You’re smart to just go for extraction & and implant. Hope everything goes smoothly.

Vanessa Vado

Take the time to recover. Focus on your health and take the time to rest.

karen Hillyer

Can see the struggle in your face hun.. Breathe.. The road of life is often bumpy yours has just had a lot of potholes just lately drive over them and on to a New road. You, ll be OK 😊 sending much love and healing ❤️❤️❤️

W0mb@t

Yes it is. No, it’s snot. Eat some ultra spicy green chile stew, it’ll cure ebola.

Anthony Rue

Just get better my friend. The world needs truth

Mark Adamson

Thanks for sharing. These updates are great. And remember, you are appreciated!

Gen Hensley

I’ve been informed multiple times by my dentist in the past two years to get a consultation for a root canal for two of my teeth and one of them has been bothering me (also hairline fracture). I’ve been putting it off and off and off. You’ve reminded me it’s tremendously important I take care of that this week. Thanks AJ! I’m thrilled with whatever you do out don’t put out, we just want you healthy and feeling better. Unfortunately it’s difficult to grow as a human outside of discomfort, know you’re growing by leaps and bounds right now. You’ve got this!

Ron Soeters

AJ, please take care of your self. Bring something out when you are ready for it. Your story telling capabilities are the reason why I follow your channel. We can do without the fancy Ai stuff;-) but not without you!

Dion Gillespie

Just take care of yourself.

annonyme

What happened at the dentist? Did the dentist remove the tooth nerve and do you now have a very deep hole in your tooth?

Zach Jacobs

AJ, I truly hope this pain subsides for you soon. Do whatever you gotta do to fill the schedule up, or just take some time to rest. We love your content but we care about you as a human more. May the lizzid people offer you a speedy recovery

Tina Tanner

I like the mundane stuff

Cece Santini

Get well soon! Would love a mini video if you got around to it.

Tricia Dodson

Ok, NTP here. NEVER get a root canal. Good job!! Try to find a biological dentist. I live in Reno, there’s gotta be some in Vegas. If not, HMU and I will find one for you. Drugs are BAD, unless you absolutely need an antibiotic. But there’s usually a way to fight most of what life throws at us without pharmaceuticals…

William Ward

Thoughts and prayers to you AJ. You got this.

Keith Haussel

Call me crazy, but as much as I love WF, I care more about a man who works hard to provide us with such a great show- even if I dont know him.

Cal Jennings

I will admit that I have been concerned about you. I know what it feels like. It can be excruciating.

JohnZ65

Geez AJ, get some rest Sir! You’re being tested and you’ll get through it. We are loyal and patient, waiting and anticipating the new episodes

Cal Jennings

I like the idea of discussing things like quantum entanglement and other theories.

Cal Jennings

You’re getting old AJ. I now have none of my teeth except a tooth that is strangely growing on top of my gums.

Kyle Trimbach

You sound like you have something similar to what I’ve been going through with the teeth and sinusitus

Eric Russow

boring comments! more please

Eric Russow

go for the science stuff!

Summerland805

Also, feel better soon. I’m no stranger to tooth pain. It is the worst.

Summerland805

Quantum entanglement! Yes! Please!

Dynomat

A short one is fine.

Kevin Green

One more time… Whatever you do is goodbye us. You have to take care of you first, because you have a few don’t there isn’t that you.

Joanie

Don’t worry about your schedule. We’ll still be here. Just take care of yourself. Please keep us updated. ❤️

Kevin Green

Teeth sometimes suck butt

Kevin Green

Dude you are the best, no need to explain anything…we would follow you to the ends of the earth.

J. Marlene Frederick

If you feel up to a shortie clip, great. But just keep getting better! That's more important :)

D.Shepherd

Oof, that’s the first time I heard of an abcess happening that way. It sounds hellish. Yes the antibiotics are helping your sinus infection. Also, your mouth will probably be sore after the tooth pull, & most likely after the implants. If you’re allowed, ask for pain meds, take your NSAID as prescribed, and use an ice pack if it really aches. The ice will do wonders! I’d consider myself a tough nut, but mouth and ear pain will turn me into a puddle of pain. I’ve a background in microbiology, & pharmacy.. and have had mouth & sinus issues in the past. Get bett🫶

Mad Max The Factor

Sounds like The Russian needs to give you a hand comrade. How can I be of service, nothing I can't do.

Trish Edwards

That's a lot! Glad the meds have kicked in - yay science! Also, a short vid featuring weird science would be fabulous! PS. I enjoyed our little talk. 😉 Trish

Lori Reynolds

I’m sending good vibes your way. I know tooth pain is a bitch. I liked the update video. I will be waiting until you are ready. I’ll always be a fan!!!

Ambika Devi

Tooth pain is brutal! I am compassionate. We can also understand how ancient humans suffered.

Paulette Shackelford

I hope you feel better AJ I’m still healing from my broken ribs when some idiot brand caught into me in the grocery store. I’m praying for you that you get better soon.

Made Broke

Speaking completely for myself here; AJ, I’m here because of you. I like the content don’t get me wrong but under that it’s you so release whatever you feel is true..whenever you feel right. You Rock!

Richard Sanchez

Ouch feel better brother

Jed Andrews

I’d love to see the xrays, which any dentist can send them via internet easily. Then we could talk expertly.

Steve Williamson

Semper Fi Brother. Hang in there.

Jared Larson

Health is always first AJ 🙌 we need you feeling better. I’m sending you healing energy 🪄

Chucky P

Get well soon!

Michael Eisenburger

Your health is more important than the show. Get better and do the show when you can. We can wait.

X

If you can manage it, a short episode would be great! But if you're not up to it, that's fine too. We'll still be here! ❤️👽

Army Nation

We are patient just get well AJ. We're with you till the end of the line.

Lisa R

Tooth ache is the worst FACT!!!

Lisa R

Just get well AJ! ❤️

Keren Howell

Get better soon AJ. We can wait, we’ll still be here when it’s all sorted out!

RicanHavoc

Short episode is perfect.

Sigma 1-969

That's terribly upsetting A.J. .. as a fan of the show and an admirer of you and the team, I do hope everything is gonna be alright. Can't wait to see all the changes take effect, and see these surprises. . ..this video was not too long, also if it makes you happy to put out a short video, thats great, but dont do it just to make people happy, we'd rather you just get better, get that legal shit sorted out and whatever personal stuff is causing issues and we will see you when you are ready. Take it easy brother.

RicanHavoc

AJ please take care of yourself. That sounds painful AF 😱

Jed Andrews

You have your hands full. FYI, my dad , mom and I had probably the most prestigious dental practice in Washington, DC. We practiced primarily cosmetic and reconstructive dental surgery and both my dad and I went to Georgetown, then the top dental school in the nation because they grouped all dental students and medical student together for the first two years. We had Senators, Congressmen, Ambassadors, CEO’s, news anchors and actors who would come to us from NYC and California. Basically, if you spent time in front of a camera,,you came to us. (My grandfather was a FDR appointee to bc the Maritime Commission; he owned three steamship lines and after the war was head of States Marine, the largest shipping fleet in the time.). In other words, we were “hooked-in” both politically and business wise. I have seen many patients going through what you are, but a text would take too long to tell you all you should know. As for myself, I caught nosocomial MRSA while in the hospital for a broken rib. The MRSA left me blind in the left eye, and the drugs they administered (Vancomycin, Ampicillin and Gentamicin) through a pic line to my heart saved my life but the gentamicin left me 40% deaf, with no smell or taste. I also had to have emergency surgery to replace my mitral valve and a CABG Cardiac Arterial Replacement Graft. I went through hell. The bacteria in your mouth can easily cause SBE (Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis). The main culprit is no flossing, and I mean after every meal. A Water Pic will help and they now make ultra-thin inter-proximal brushes that easily go between the teeth. I have now retired to Punta Gorda, Florida from my large farm in Potomac, MD, the richest area in the U.S. Bought in 1948 for $135/acre, I don’t want to tell you what it went for. A 2 acre building lot starts for close to a $million. I have seen EVERY episode you’ve produced—many, many times and have wondered what the heck happened to you. YOU ARE TYE BEST!!! I usually don’t do this but we should talk about this event of yours much more. I want you to be best informed. What you had when you check swelled is cellulitis and indicates the infection had gone into one of the many tissue spaces. So I will give you my private cell: 301. 520.9426. I am retired so we can talk as long as you like and can answer many questions as well as alternative treatments. My public address (email) is Hoya@comcast.net but my PRIVATE one is hoyajed@gmail.com. Only family and doctors I have, have that. I’m so sorry about what you’re going through. FYI: there are only TWO areas of the body with free nerve endings: the cornea of the eye, and the tooth. Jed Andrews. P.S. I also went to law school and have an MBA, also from Georgetown. I’m no idiot.

Mike

Take care. Totally understand the down time! Shoot us a text or video for update if you feel up to it.

THE JANUARY MAN

We love you. Our patience is not tested. You take care. And thanks for all the fish.

Corey Dennis

Get better. Sinus infections are nothing to fool around with. Have you ever done a video on Karen Silkwood? That’s an interesting story to tackle.

Mac McGuckien

Good dentist 🦷. Take care and stay strong. Get the Heckle Fisher out of his Bowl, and Gerty, and get him on point. Cometh the day, Cometh the Fish!

Gail Peterson

Oh man, take the time to get well. I really enjoy your content, but would hate for you to have to provide it from a hospital bed. Sure, I'm always up for some science stuff. All the best, AJ!!

Aimme Lamey

Bro, take all the time you need to get better. We can wait. Get better soon and good luck!

Fred Flint

Taking care of yourself comes first. Hopefully the surgery will take care of the problem. Until then, I believe everyone understands and wishes you a quick recovery.

Wendy Olson

My honest opinion is a short episode would be cool but is not necessary. It's ok to take a break. Everyone should understand that life happens. The one's who don't understand that should not concern you in the least. Your health and the health of your crew is more important than the show because without it there is no show!!!

Andrew Daniel

Dude, fix your face. Don't worry about us that much. Do update the general public though. Don't need to give them details, just be like "taking a few because of tooth surgery! BRB!"

Greg R

Short videos are great. They're how the channel started in the first place. Not everything has to be 45+ minutes. Just take care of yourself.

Richard

Thanks for keeping us up to date. Short scienc(y) video would be great. Get that tooth/sinus situation taken care of, and any content you want to share, especially content you WANT to share is fine by me.

Deepwater

My Patreon membership is for supporting the channel and I honestly don’t expect constant new videos. I don’t view it as buying videos. It is appreciation for all that you have done and continue to do. Take care of yourself first and foremost.

Deepwater

The short updates feel like a family member checking in… so I agree… keep doing them!

Jodi

Off point entirely but, is there a list somewhere here for the sponsors and codes offered if I want to use one of the services? I can’t remember if I saw Grounded app here or in a Mr Mythos vid—I am thinking it was a WF episode. If you had a doc of some kind here that listed sponsors and codes, it’d be helpful. Just a suggestion. Thx (Hope you get better, AJ…seems like you’ve been thru hell this last year, hoping for better health and better times for you! Dental probs are freaking brutal, eeek!)

Patrick Thomas

At the end you mentioned something about whether to make more videos like this. I would recommend that you do and take away the negative connotation of “another” mea culpa video. Quick shots like this on other things like a journey back to the dojo or something like that would be fun. Or the production meeting wrap up. Just anything to prevent a Patreon notification and saying, “ Oh no, what happened now.”

David

Short sciency time travel story would rock 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Kdizzle

I know I already replied. Hadn't watched ur message. You do u. Take care of urself. We ur patrons will be here . Kill the poison and pain. Listen as long as u need us to. Man to man. I'll listen. Thanks aj

Kdizzle

I'm sorry ur I'll man. Ofcourse I'm a patron. I've saw some fear in ur face. Concerns me. I'm just a normal guy but like u have said. I got ur back. Reach out. I love ur content and can talk forever. I work nights. So I'm up all night. Hope u feel better. Hit those meds.

El Toro

Your health is the most important thing right now and good luck 🍀

Pavel S.

Weird science, let’s go!!!

Gunnar Bjarki

you could do a short episode on the "dinosaur soft tissue research institute" :)

4xBill

A short episode to keep the wolves at bay and the understanding among us entertained would be nice. Only so much as adds no undue complications to you healing. I have a question as you frequently mention demonetization in regards to your content. As far as YOUTUBE goes, why do you insist on working with the devil? You can still work The devil, Google, YouTube, the crushers of free speech and well backed up alternative theories while working in conjunction with outlets like Rumble. I mentioned this months ago on Discord only to be unreasonably skewered for such a suggestion. The thing is nothing will change unless channels with big followings limit their product on free speech choking outlets and incentivizing their viewerss to watch the full content on a platform that promotes free thought and speech.

Timothy Knight

Get well

Craig Walker

Dude, we're all good. Life happens, and bodies can be annoying. When it's up, it's up :) ...and it's not your *fault*, but hey, props for taking the responsibility. Integrity is awesome :)

Leslie Bailey

This is my first time seeing a video since I joined patreon. It's so cool of you to share the details of your life with us. We all put on our pants the same way after all. 👍😁

Kirby Victor Hamm Jr.

Funny are the assumptions in spelling. I've seen Kurby, Kerby, Cirby and so on. 😁

Ian Arvizo

I find it funny, but not in a bad or mocking way, that we literally pay you for you to talk to us and provide exclusive content, and here you are talking to us and providing exclusive content, and you are worried it’s too long. Dude-we wouldn’t be here if we weren’t interested in you sharing. I also think it would be funny if you had Hecklefish have one of these sessions as a bit of minor self-parody and he goes off about the challenges of a fish living with a camel and one of his businesses is being audited by the IRS and did he mention the beavers are his credenza?

jessie vega

Mr AJ take care of your health first. Everything else depends on that. I appreciate your channel and your views. Maybe in the future an episode on wether we are in a glove or flat plain. I think it would be very interesting. God bless

Sherri & Tom

Man, AJ tooth pain & sinus pain is nothing to mess with! I got an implant a couple of years ago & when they pulled the tooth, I wound up with a dry socket. It was awful, but I was completely amazed at how the nervous system does what it does. As for the episode, take care of yourself first. The old adage "You can't pour from an empty cup" applies here. Short science episode sounds excellent. We've been watching since the early days and those are the ones we fell in love with. Now take your meds & heal up! (Hey, you can always let Hecklfish drive solo!)

Kevin Via

AJ, TIME FIXES EVERYTHING!!!!

Scott Burke

Yes updates; yes short science

Nigel Davenport

A J I really enjoy pour videos and (on a personal note) I am happy to wait for the content. Your health and well being is important so look after yourself. I also enjoy the revisits of the comp videos so I am happy to see those whilst waiting for the new stuff.

Kirby Pinkham

I don't see the name Kirby much, unless it's a machine that cleans or a pink fella that likes to eat - which I am accustomed to doing both. Lol

Kirby Pinkham

I really enjoy videos explaining science. When you're feeling better, I would like to suggest a video topic on "Quantum Entanglement and Its Role in Quantum Computing." The video could cover the following key points: 1. A clear and simple explanation of what quantum entanglement is, including visual aids or animations to illustrate how entangled particles interact. 2. A breakdown of how entanglement is utilized in quantum computing to perform computations, highlighting the unique advantages it provides over classical computing. 3. Examples of how quantum entanglement is applied in real-world quantum computing scenarios, such as cryptography, optimization problems, and molecular simulations. 4. A discussion of the current challenges in harnessing entanglement for scalable quantum computing and its potential impact on various fields in the future. I believe such a video would help us better understand these complex concepts in a more accessible way. Thank you for considering my suggestion! And thank you for providing entertaining videos these past few years. You and the team are appreciated. Best regards

OzDrDj-n-Jadelynmon

Hey There AJ. I feel you mate, I have broken bones, kidney stones, migraines, but Tooth Pain is the worst, I'm sure you know that though. You do what you have to and get better. Cheers.

Kat TheCardboardKitty

I think the consensus is “we don’t care if you’re late”. We’re all good, AJ. We’ll live. Stuff happens. We all have rough patches, we all get slammed with medical stuff at some point. We all want you to get healthy. Infections are no small thing, and believe me; no one is tough when tooth pain is involved. Chuck Norris would cry. I’m so happy the pain is under control, and I think you made a good decision to ditch the tooth. As for short episodes… yes. Maybe some haunt stuff since Halloween is approaching? Maybe some quickies about haunted landmarks? I used to work at Disneyland. There are plenty of ghosts there. My guys and I went on a ghost tour of Old Town Orange in SoCal, and it was intriguing to find that one office building still has freezers in the basement from its previous status as a mortuary in the early 1900’s. One of the shops (Native American store currently) had bodies in open coffins in the picture window so that people could identify the deceased. Tidbits like that about anywhere would make a great short episode. We love you! Get yourself well no matter what! We can wait.

Kirby Victor Hamm Jr.

Hang in there, AJ. We're behind you. Heal up, buddy.

Ed E

AJ please don't worry about posting any new content until you're healed up and feeling better. Everyone here understands you're in a lot of pain and have upcoming dental surgery. Just rest up and get better.

Kyle

We are all worried about you man.

Sindy Simms

We love you guys, so just take care of yourselves. Tooth pain is the worst. I sure hope you feel better soon.

djmikekc

1st, thank you for the update. To chime in, I would love more 10-20 minute "lighter fare" episodes. In fact, I would love a short episode followed by an afterfiles more often, with a blockbuster just once a month. What drew me to the channel (and then to Patreon and Discord) was the community of smart nerds all getting together to laugh and learn. Also, feel free to chat us up from your closet any time. We appreciate being on the inside.

Crazywolf63

So sorry to hear this AJ hope you are feeling better soon 🙏

MJ Salem

Hope you get well.

Stardyncer

I guess my vote for for the Quantum Entanglement video didn't send through, but that was my vote a 10 min video on quantum entanglement. Of course when your feeling better, but also when you get this work done maybe taking a day or two or even three to rest and relax. I know in the meantime that's hard to do, because of the meds I take my whole tooth broke off and along with a half of another. I don't have the sinus issue but I feel your pain I do, I'm going through it right now. Rest! Come back when your fully healed!

SalvSays

Be well. Take your time. Come back strong. 🤟🏽

Joseph Keely

Health and family first

Jim Heuberger

AJ, family is first. Channel is second. We get it.

MeChelle Sumerel

Hope you feel better soon!!

Marelyn Medina

Dental Implants allow direct access for bacteria in the mouth to enter the jaw bone, blood circulation and sinuses. They are a perpetual connection between the external environment, with all its poisons and microbes and the internal body environment, with access to every organ in your body through the blood circulation and lymphatic system. The dental profession is in crisis between the American Dental Association philosophy of allowing poisons such as mercury, fluoride and root canals to remain in the body and Biological Dentist interested in removing poisons from patients-not placing more. I am currently writing a book concerning dental poisons and can communicate with you through my personal email which you have.

Jeff Alcorn

Do you roll up your own socks? 🤣

Jeff Alcorn

Take care of yourself, first. We'll be here when you are ready. 😊

John Heffernan

Get well soon

Marelyn Medina

AJ DO NOT GET either ROOT CANALS or IMPLANTS. TERRIBLE IDEA. Check out book by Dr. dentist Blanche Grube, "Chew on this, but to not swallow."

Stuart Randall

Get well soon AJ

Jonny Moses

Hiya AJ. Wishing you the very best from the UK. Take your time getting better. We will still be here. Jonny Moses x

Evzz

Health and wellbeing first mate, everything else can wait. A science short would be rather welcome though! Keep calm and carry on AJ, Ooooh-raaaah!

Jesse M

Also it may sound dumb but when I've had crazy tooth pain, pressure points really seemed to help, one around where jawline/temple area. And in between pointer finger and thumb, I also have had to learn to fall asleep hunched over a sink with cold water just drizzling out slowly and positioning my head so that the water would hit the tooth yet also run out of my mouth without drowning me, it's a lot of extra crap but in the crazy bad pain moments it definitely helps

Jesse M

I hope everything goes well for you and the tooth, any content is better than no content, but also shit happens, if you can't make content don't put yourself in pain for us, we're but humble cult members. We will be here when you return

JamesWHoDis

Oh.. and I’m gonna go brush and floss right now.

JamesWHoDis

Hey man… take care of yourself. We can wait for videos, bro. Handle your business and we’ll be here. Love ya 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Daisy Ip

AJ, please take care of yourself! Get some rest, take the time you need, get well and don't worry about getting things done on time. Your health and you feeling good, is what counts now. Let the 'FISH' do it. Nice socks, though.

Diana Taylor Marr

Please take care of yourself! We love you and the whole WF team

Janet Thomson

Ok. I'm from Scotland. Here's my tk fr anyone who cares. Mouth tooth stuff floors the majority of us. It's hellish. Appreciate the update man but get a grip. Ur human. We get it. Stop torturing urself. U r pushing too much. U r run down this hs tipped u over the edge. We love why files bt we care abt u too. Get better. Be strong. Get hecklefish earning his pay chq. Come on fishy. We love u 2. X

Deena

I had to like this video (I would have, anyway) because now, I'm ❤️#667. Ya' know? 😎 Dude, chill, eat some soup & sandwich. Be Well, Sir👍🏽

John Stasiulis

Short episode sounds good. As always your HEALTH is more important than any thing else.

Dorypanda

I hope you feel better soon. Also, weird science sounds awesome.

DogDoc

Thanks for the update. Feel better soon.

Aaron

Even though I'm eager for a new episode and at times disappointed, I have to say that you are always consistent with keeping us updated to the process and that helps so much AJ. Thank you homie

Pamela Bishop

Dental pain will bring the toughest to your knees. Take the time you need to get better. We will all be here!

Alright Alright Alright

Yes! A science episode would be cool. Take care AJ we need you!! If it’s ok I’ll pray for you and the rest of your family and TWF Team. P.S. AJ, we could dress from the same closet ✌️❤️🇺🇸

Acarlo

My right upper rear tooth, think wisdom is half there. I'm a dentist baby, sooo waiting till it throbs with pain, stupid I know. How about a short vid involving strange dental stories, like Sigmund Freuds reportedly nasty cocaine mouth, or Roger Ebert's mandible disease, congenital disorders etc. That would be fun!!!

Dan Inglesant

Get better soon AJ. You are appreciated. Health & Family comes first.

UTTracy

Do whatever you need to do. We will be here when you’re better. Get well soon.

Pamela Park

I had a dental abscess/infection so bad when I was 33 I’m pretty lucky to be here. Unfortunately mine was due to a cyst growing for years without me knowing it - so couldn’t even blame myself! Don’t mess around with dental issues guys! Get well soon AJ 💗

elMexineck

Best wishes for your recovery. I have total sympathy my teeth used to be horrid for a time too. Don't mean weakness at all. I never has to pass a kidney stone, but that will bring tears to the toughest as well as tooth-hurty.

Paul Jordan

Thanks AJ. Hang on in there. We are all happy to wait until you’re ready. Maybe try delegating a bit more work to the Beaver Brothers. They don’t seem to do very much, they just dance around! Also, don’t apologise for anything. Nothing is your fault. Don’t do any work on a new episode until you’re ready.

Heidi Pfaff

Hang in there AJ 🩷

Joe Raccuglia

I emphasize with your pain

Chris Coon

If YOU want to do a short science ep, please do but if it's not possible, it's just not. So glad to be here and hope you feel better soon!!

Kelli McMahon

Take care AJ! Sorry it's been such a rough time! 2024 has been rough medically speaking for so many including myself. Nothing but unconditional love for you! Take your time!

Vince In Houston

AJ, you're good with me. I feel my money is well placed with you guys. I appreciate the effort to keep us informed about things. John Lennon once said, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." Say what you will about his character at times (and people do) he was right about that point. Thanks for all your efforts and as others have said, take care of yourselves. Again, make sure someone is there to keep Hecklefish out of trouble. Think about it, there's no telling what he could get up to with you spending time healing up.

John Edgeworth

AJ Take care, maybe give us some vignettes 10 min each, every so many days. just a thought.

AnnieHawk

We will need an update after the 16th. Take care. Sometimes it’s tough being a celebrity in the public eye. We aren’t going anywhere 💛

CG

AJ, take care of yourself, your wife and the team! Good thing the CIA Healthplan covers dental. :)

Ben

A.J. your transparency is amazing. Even if you don't have time to put out a "short," your fans will still be here waiting for the next banger of an episode, because we know it's coming. Tooth pain is no joke! Hope you feel better soon

Cindy Lambrecht

Just glad you’ll be ok! Me, I also HATE mouth/dental work! Hope you get well soon. :)

CreativeNinjas

My advice, for whatever that is worth, is to record not just that science episode, but try to put together some shorter videos and bank them for times when you need to fill in for problems. With them being in reserve, you can release them during those tough times and it may help you feel better about missing a week or being off schedule. Easier said than done, I know, but whenever you have the extra time I would invest a little of it into that. I, personally, don't mind waiting but as a creator (a very very small creator mind you) myself, this is something I have tried to do to make sure I have something there if needed.

Benjamin Hoppe

Do a video on holograms and making them. Like the Tupac video. Great thing for halloween and christmas coming up. Also touch on the Batman light and could you make a hologram in the sky and maybe tie it into UFOs and if that is what is going on. What do you think!?

Joyce

Ebb and flows of life - and hope for quick recovery- short weird science is always fun!

Marisa Villanueva

Very responsible from you to keep us informed. Health first. Get well. Blessings.

Chris

Take care of you and to make sure your health is intact for sure, buddy we appreciate you and we want to keep seeing you😇 I don’t think anybody argue with your idea to make the short science video as long as you’re up for it 🦀🐱

InSyder

Any short science video could be really cool. So yes, please do a cool short topic like: ball lightening, superconductivity or vacuum tube propulsion (can tie that in later to when you cover the secret underground tunnel system).

thormusique

AJ, for my money, I suggest you forget posting episodes for a while and get your health ducks in a row. Once you're feeling ready to resume, then lay it on us, man. I appreciate everything you and your minions do, so don't worry about the postings. Feel better, cheers!

J.R. Alonge

Take care of you and yours first! Thank you for the updates on the content flow. As always, I look forward to seeing your work on your schedule … no one is harder on you than you ;)

JohnnyShabazz

Sure, more updates please but only if you're up to it. Any day we get a msg from AJ is a better day. Take care and say hi to Gino for me.

Hillshire

Take care of yourself, what’s the point of doing YouTube if u can’t make your own hours and work ur own schedule. U don’t need to answer to anyone.

Hanna

Hope you feel better soon!

StephFal

I am sorry you weren’t feeling well. I am glad the medication is working. I hope all goes well with your surgery. Take good care of yourself. 🙏 ❤️

Mark and Debbie Peyron

We are so sorry you have been ill. As we age (no ill will intended) we have to be so careful about it all. From tooth aches (you wouldn't believe how many times I have been to the dentist and come out with antibiotics for a sinus infection! Ha ha!) And I have lost a tooth to that as well. Cracked tooth sucks. When you put out videos like this it makes us feel like family. And we like that. Some years are tougher than others. We have all been through it. Glad you were able to take care of things. I hope it wasn't family related (like you and Geno.) Now as a retired nurse and loving naturopathy, sip your bone broth and take all your antibiotics! We will see you on the other side, even if it is past the 16th when they take out that troublemaker! God speed young man! We're praying for all our northern "family". Highest regards, love and prayers, Debbie and Mark Peyron from your Southern Indiana outpost!

Sherry Player

I am so sorry you have been in so much pain. I understand about having a bad year. I enjoy your show and I am always telling everyone about your channel! Please feel better. Have you thought about an episode on The Shroud of Turin?

N8

Glad to hear you’re on the mend and almost out of the woods. Appreciate all you and your team do. The science vids sound great btw and I always enjoy watching the comp videos.

Odd Marcus

tooth pain is no joke, definitely feel ya on that, no rush, take your time to get better, love science-y videos, love the short, just talking about life videos.. its all good,

Jessica Sipe

This is the perfect opportunity to have hecklefish guest host while ur out sick. It would be funny.

McBearer

Keep your time. Your health is more important than the next episode. Get well soon.

Russ Nedyals

A short video on science would be great if you are up to it. Sometimes life gets in the way. Resting up for the 16th is more important though.

Andrea Ortega

Life happens.. you can't help it. Just take care of yourself. Big hug. Love your transparency!

Sean Miller

Yeah I love your sciencey stuff, that sounds great. Get better soon my man! Hope the tooth stuff gets sorted. Hope the legal stuff is all done with now too.

Tru David

AJ, your videos are NEVER too long. And please do more like this. Remember when you did Thanksgiving and Christmas vids just to hang out with us pathetic bastards who didn't have anywhere to go? Those were a Godsend. I'm really sorry about your tooth. A couple years back almost the same thing happened to me but with back teeth. Had to have 3 pulled and bits and pieces were coming out for a couple months. I didn't have money to get implants though. But I'm no longer in pain. I love your compilations, too. I'm hoping you can do some After Files once in a while too. Hang in there, things are falling into place. Sometimes the Universe has its own schedule and there's nothing you can do but go along for the ride. Take a look at what you've learned on this journey, all the people who love you, how you need to slow down sometimes and take care of the boring stuff. Here's a big hug and I'll be thrilled when I see a new WF!

cree1069

I'd love a short video on plausible research and explanation on warp field physics, faster than light travel. Also "conspiracy" surrounding Wolf Hilbertz and all the potential behind "SeaCrete."

cree1069

Feel better, root canals and tooth extractions are a trial for sure!

Kimberly Terrell

Get better soon sending y'all my love

Monica Nyhus

helsen kommer først <3

Maelous

AJ, you can’t look after others without looking after yourself first. We’ll be here, we’ve got your back. Do what you need to keep yourself sane, but don’t feel like you have to push out content at the expense of your health and wellbeing. BTW, I’m the same with the socks, bright colours and patterns all the way!

Don Byrne

Just take care of yourself. We'll be here when you are ready.

Ian Arvizo

Dammit Hecklefish! Can you not stay out of legal trouble for five minutes?!???

Matthew Turco

Another idea for quick videos - take your top 5-10 most watched videos and create a "TITLE...Revisited" series where you talk about what you've learned since publishing each of those videos. And, of course, have Hecklefish provide additional color commentary.

John

Hope you and Jen are ok

Pete Jones

Do not put too much stress on yourself or your mouth. The easier you take it the faster you will be back to 100%. Great opportunity to line up plans for 2025

Glen Ilacqua

Take good care of yourself. Whatever down time you need, take it because if you're not healthy, nothing else matters. BTW, It's not my business, but if I were in your shoes, over the next 6 months to a year, I'd want to get 4 extra episodes in "inventory" for times like these. Or God forbid, you want to take a vacation and keep the channel humming along. I'm guessing you're a real Type A and you'll work yourself to death if left to your own devices. In any event - my good thoughts are with you my friend.

Richard hill

no problems dude tooth infections are fucked up ,we all get em and it’s hard to deal with the pain at the time. check out oragel if you get it in the usa it’s awesome for just numbing the mouth when it all comes on top.

Andrea Kennedy

Tooth pain is the worst! Get well soon our friend 💪

Steven Burke

The only gaps you have to fill are the ones in your mouth! Heal up and rest mate, take your time

Craig William Dayton

Sandy…You are doing a good thing to take NAC. NAC is so good, it is used in emergency rooms. In fact, a couple of years back, the incompetent “gods” at the FDA tried to have it removed as over-the-counter and to make it available by prescription only. The supplement industry pushed back hard on that, and the FDA folded. So, for once, the FDA was prevented from hurting the citizens of this nation. I am pleased to hear that you are supplementing your food intake. I take a good deal more supplements than you, but I am on the ReCODE Protocol (reference Dr. Dale E. Bredesen) for the prevention and cure (yes, I said cure) of Alzheimer’s Disease. I am on it (six years now) for prevention. I wish I knew about the protocol, when Mom was alive. Take care, Sandy, and stay healthy.

Stephanie Herrera

Feel better, man! Much love from all of us!

TW Hodges

Tooth pain is the freakin worst. Get yourself fixed up Aj. Super short vid or no vid, just get healthy. 👍🏻

Deborah Rathjen

Thank you for the update AJ. Take care of yourself.

Edith Ley

I’m sorry for you , you should try to find someone who can help you with your energies. Doing a sort of equilibrium of your body. Sorry English is not my first language . Do you know what I trying to say ? Your own body is trying to say something.

Ed Walker

AJ, been there. Take your meds, get well. Don’t sweat the schedule. The stress doesn’t help. Good Luck!

Texas Joe (from Long IsL.)

Feel better! In your absence why not have hecklefish do a video cold read it just for members the BLOOPERS ALOND WILL BE GILD!!! Love the show 🤠👍🤙

Kelly Robinson

Seriously though, get well soon and know that you are appreciated 🙏

Kelly Robinson

Have you had an xray and check if you have an alien implant in your tooth?

Lars

Get well! I truly know your pain!✌️

Gus Viera

So sorry to hear about your tooth and the resulting sinusitis. Hope they heal you up soon and minimize the discomort. Hang in there, A.J. IMHO you have reached critical mass amongst the viewing citizenry and the government/shot callers don't care for it, so the escalating gauntlet is put before you to slow your roll or bury your message. Stai attento amico mio!

Kathleen Kaufmann

I watched this first, and knew within one word you were ill. Get well ASAP. Teeth abscesses suck rocks thru a tiny bendy straw! Hate them with a passion.

Colin Fitz

Good luck and get well soon! Yes, the short science episode sounds great.

Philip Booth

AJ, Everyone of us are in your corner. Thank you for always including us and talking with us. Prayers for all of you.

Larry Southard

To quote Thomas Dolby, "Science!" Feel better AJ!

Bareassdbabün

Get healthy, don't worry about schedules

Kathy McCollum

Take care of yourself. I understand dental pain and issues. It’s okay if the work is on hold. God bless🙏💕

Raj Narula Trombone

Agreed!

Chris Godfrey

Get well soon man, no rush on uploads. Hecklefish can fill in.

Raj Narula Trombone

Hi AJ (and the WF Team!) 1: It’s (s)NOT your fault! We all understand that life happens. 2: More “Closet Updates” please. They’re not at all boring or less entertaining. It makes you human, and relatable. So, please: continue. 3: Pulling the tooth is the best decision. I sincerely hope you get permanent relief both from the tooth pain and the sinusitis. 4: A short episode would be amazing, IF… you are up to it. We would rather wait for you to be out of discomfort rather than have you entertain us whilst suffering. None of us want that for you. 5: Thank you for everything you all done to produce a fantastic show every single time. Schedule be damned! Look after yourselves. Sending love and gratitude from one UK Patreon🙏🙌🏼♥️

The Neoborn Caveman Show

Get better AJ! I appreciate these personal takes - feel more connected and real. And well, by now, your videos are references for many who are debating the undead. Keep your chin up and nostrils free! Blessings!

April Danann

AJ, get yourself a Naturopath, ND, boost your immune system, raw garlic in food, clean out that blood. Look after yourself first

Jong

Miss a few videos and get better, no need for filler, I will still be your supporter and patreon.

Helvetica Bold

AJ, as always, your health is the priority. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself. And a short science video would be great. :) Regarding sharing this kind of update, you should protect your privacy as much as possible. However, you are a "public figure." You have fans who will speculate on public forums about you, the show, etc., so it is wise to keep that speculation under control (assuming you can) by providing basic updates about what is happening. People are curious and like to fill vacumes, often filling them by assuming the worst. So, basic updates would help to combat that, IMO. I'll be thinking of you the week of the 16th!

Chel

AJ… just take care of you… we’ll still be here when you’re hale and hearty again ❤️

Bob Trevena

AJ, why not just upload this video. It's straight from the heart. Remember "You are appreciated". Just do it. Best wishes, Bob. PS I'm 71 and dentistry here in the UK in the 50s, 60, 70s was a dark art. I feel your pain my friend.

Stefano Kaka

I hope you'll be better soon🙏,Take care of you AJ, be safe and know that you are appreciated ☺️

Star Man

Do you have an address where I can send you something that will help tremendously?

Star Man

We want you here for the long term AJ. Do what needs to be done for your long term health. Personally I think you are under attack.

Robert Wilson

I wonder how many people went and brushed there teeth on that update? Anything you think on the short video, if you can manage, I am happy with all of your content

James Winn

Get your health sorted AJ 🙏🏼. We’ll all still be here. Dental infections can be nasty! Also please remember ‘it’s not your fault!!’ Everybody is going through something, especially lately, 2024 just sucks tbh. I’m all for the boring vids of your day to day life …. makes you relatable 😆😊. Hecklefish for President!

Raymond Winans

Sci Fi filler will be cool . Get well. Remember that it's a job . Things happen. Life happens. Stay positive and heal. Use your recovery time to reflect, relax and enjoy family.

Deirdre a greene

use the aloe tissue.

Adam (Pappy) Koehler

Just take care of your health , things happen to all of us . I've had a rough couple of years I get it A.J. . We all seemed to be going through crap right now.

Sue Jobling

Take care AJ and get better ❤️

Aaron Ball

Don’t worry about making content. Just get yourself on the mend first. All the best, take care

John and Melissa Jett

Poor guy! You've really been through it. Please take care of yourself and don't worry about the schedule. We have your back. Hope you feel better soon.

Andrew Belam

We love the shorter videos. 15-20 minute videos work well and tbh, that is as much expectation as we have for content. Hope you feel better soon

Jude

Go get some rest and feel better!!!! ❤️

Jennifer Morrison

Take care of yourself AJ. We are always here for you and the team. Love you all. Feel better AJ.

Paul Farrugia

I had a very similar experience a few months back, and I say I can definitly relate, its Bl**dy painful! Get plaenty of rest AJ! we need you fit and healthy to deliver the content we all love. If you were to fill the gap, Qantam Entanglement would be an awesome topic, and would help me understand it 5%? :-)

Rachel Plant

I’m so sorry AJ! That sounds rough. I hope you have a quick recovery. 2024 has not been the best year ever for me either, mainly because of health issues. I completely understand where you’re coming from. You just have no way to control what life throws at you. Sounds like you’re doing the best you can. Please take care.

Judy and Dave

We always loved your short videos, that sounds great. Also the updates about stuff is appreciated. We love ya and want you to feel better, your health is more important than anything. We will be here when u get better.❤️

David Gilleard

You take all the time you need AJ, you take care of yourself.

Melinda

Don’t worry about the schedule being messed up… Take care of yourself…❤️❤️❤️

Ally Jones

I'm sending all the best wishes to you and the Why Files family. P.S. I'm surprised you feel up to putting even a short upload out, but I'll watch whatever you guys release. :), happy to be patient if it doesn't happen for a while. :) Get well soon, dude.

Brett Chinick

Feel better AJ thanks for the update!

Rob Russell

I think the best thing is just get urself sorted out buddy get better, we'll still be here, get well soon...

Mrs. Cassandra Rivera²²

LMFAO... YOU'RE GETTING YOUR TEETH DONE ON MY BIRTHDAY! 🎈

Mrs. Cassandra Rivera²²

Been there! Tooth pain is by faaaar the worst pain everrrrr! Bad news... I had no idea that your mouth was associated with heart attacks.... Recently, I've had abscess after abscess go in my mouth, and several teeth pulled, I just finished up a heavy round of antibiotics, but there's still something wrong.. Dr. AJ, you've scared me! Which is great so maybe I will take care of whatever the f is going on in there. PS. I also am dealing with a terrible VERY LONG-TERM sinus infection at the same time... 😬 CRAP!!! 😰

Luc Grenier

Thank you for Keeping us up to date take good care of you this is the most important don't worrie we Will whait. Thanks again AJ

Keri Holmes Rojas

I love the short sciency weird episodes. I think you should sprinkle those through every once in awhile anyway. I wouldn't be a patreon member if I was just your normal YouTuber, so whenever you put an episode out bees wonderful for me. Take care of yourself. Take care of your team. And then worry about the rest of us.

Jessica Abbene

I enjoyed the update videos. It's nice that you keep is up on what's going on! I truly enjoy your episodes though and wish you a speedy recovery across the board! Weird Science huh? I saw a movie like that once..

Joshua Edgington

That sucks man! I hope it all goes well! I know the implant procedure can take a while. once it’s in gotta flash us the chompers after!! Good luck! Get better! And take your time! We will still be here c:

Vince Harris

Used to hate biting the lead shot in fried squirrel

Rick

Dude! Try to rest and not over exert yourself. Your health is important. We can wait for a new video as long a you're healthy. Also drink hot toddies.. they help. I'm pretty sure most of us would like little updates like this if you're capable of doing them without too much hassle or pain.

SGTquig

Teeth pain are the worst. Just keep moving forward and trying to do what you think is right. Minor setbacks are just detours on the path to success. Hang in there!!

Howard Morgenstern

Get better, feel better. Short science episode is fine as long as you don’t stress about it and get sicker. We care more about you than the episodes.

Hoove

Get healthy dude. No rush.

Albert Hernandez

Omg is someone watching from the closet!!!!!

KA

Science one is perfectly fine. Also love the comps. Thanks for the update

Clay Townsend

Love ya AJ…hang in buddy!!! Better days ARE ahead…

Darren Simmons

Put up comps til ur better.

Rob Feehan

Take the time you need to feel better and stay healthy. I am sorry you are having a run of bad luck but please know we are all here for you.

KA

Just get better man.

Michael Mcclary

I absolutely love the sciency stuff so if you want to do some like that, AJ, absolutely! However... Only if you are up to it. Would much rather have you rest up and let your body heal. ❤️

Chad Greenly

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tami Benson

Aaaawwww man. Sinusitis is my middle name. Have you had Aerosinusitis yet? I thought my eye was going to explode! Ugh, I feel your pain. I've had to suffer with a deviated septum and "who tf did i kill in my last life" sinuses my whole life. Glad you're getting good care ❤ you are surrounded by the best people. Take it sleazy ✌

saywhen

Short science episode would be great.

Jan Bounds

Once when our grandson was a toddler, he got sick and threw up. Then he looked at our daughtrr w/ those big sweet eyes and quivering lip and said 'I spilled!' That's how you look. Like what he spilled. Dear goddess! Go to bed, man, and don't come back til you don't look so scary. Many blessings. Much love to Heck n the gang!❤❤❤

Travis Terry

Hoping you feel better, I completely understand about the long tooth roots. I have a top denture cause I got tired of all the dental work. Just make sure to take all your meds, and eat what you can.

Montzalee Wittmann

I just had my tooth pulled today. I know exactly how you're feeling. I had went to get antibiotics because I knew it was getting infected but I couldn't find a dentist taking new patients. Finally I found one and they got me in. The antibiotics gave some relief but having it out is a great relief!😊 I hope you can get in sooner. Maybe they will have a cancelation and get you in sooner.

Brandon Lee

Take your time, get better, if you can't post, don't, it's better to be at 100% than trying to do it at 50%.

Jypsee

Rest rest. It's the long game. Anything you do is ok..

Ed E Buskirk

No explanation necessary, but thank you for sharing all the troubles. We are prayer warriors and will be praying for you and the WhyFamily. Please take care of your health. Keep being a light.

Mighty Cideys

Your closet looks like mine, devoid of color. Get well!

Nicole Erwin

No need to apologize at all. Life happens and there is nothing more important than taking care of your health. I love the quality over the quantity and I am happy to wait for more content. I don't want you to suffer and drive yourself further into the ground.

BlackWidow305

Thanks for the update and feel better!!!

Megan Bowles

Yes, more updates like this would be wonderful! I'm glad you're starting to feel better. Tooth pain is the worst!

Angela Fowles

science episodes sound brilliant I would love them :)

Kenneth J

Throw a comp out there and call it a day! Love comps! Take care of yourself.

Stephanie Milano

Life happens! Take care of yourself - we’ll be here. Also, can you make quantum entanglement make sense??! 😬

Raithe77

Tooth ache seriously sucks, had a cracked tooth myself! look after yourself dude!

Kenneth J

Health is always first my man. Feel better soon!

Angela Fowles

Get better AJ and Kia Kaha things will work out <3

dave larouche

Yes for the science video maybe on the chromosomes and their evolution on human vs chimpanzee. Take care AJ !! Love the update by the way :)

Kenny Rathbun Jr

AJ... do what you have to. We'll be here!

Laurie Salts

AJ we love your stuff. It’s important you stay healthy. Do what you got to do and we love your updates ❤️

Rob Murphy

Hope everything gets better. This is a great channel I will continue to support. I hate to see you build up a great and I mean GREAT channel and success to see you stumble and possibly loss a lot of what you and your team has built. I know you will come back and continue doing great things. Please don’t let the issues that have been going on get in you head so much that you implode. You guys are great and you have a great and dedicated audience that proves how awesome of a channel you’ve built. Stay strong we are here with you. We are your ride or die peeps. #HeckleFish2024

Carole Showell

I hope things get easier for you soon! I do enjoy these types of update videos because I'm an anxious person who starts to worry about people when something seems to be off or if there's an unexpected change.

Sarah Davis

Love the updates!! Take care of yourself. Thats the most important thing. We will all still be here when you are ready!

Pete Mitchell

It's very difficult to concentrate with extreme pain, isn't it? Wishing you a successful recovery. I've actually turned a couple of people on to the Why Files recently, it's great to see them get the same joy from the videos that I get. Get well and keep on keeping on, bro. Peace!

Kreed

I am totally fine with the plan you propose. I am also totally fine if you just take the time off and rest up and recuperate. You can have the rest of your crew just hammer out a bunch of scripts and you can review them as you are able when you are healthier and then you could just probably hit recording them really hard for a couple of weeks and get your contact back up and running. Really, just whatever works best for you to recuperate and be healthy again.

Ryan Downing

Yes.. More updates 😁

Brandy

Take care of yourself, do what you need to do. I, for one, really appreciate everything you and your crew do.

SandyK1014

I agree, AJ and the team have moved a couple of times in the past couple of years, setting up their new studio, they have been through a lot and they are all still smiling. But their health needs to come first.

NanTiki

You take care of you! And I like your shorter videos - reminds me of when I first started watching you. Love the comps, too! Be well - to hell with the schedule!

SandyK1014

Same here, it's like visiting with family

Vincent Gomez

Dude.. Take care of yourself. We’re here because we love you and the show. Don’t worry about the show. Get better first. The show will be there. Yes, it’s always nice to see updates about you, your health and background stuff we’d never see. I’m glad you are taking care of yourself. Get better soon.

SandyK1014

I wanted to suggest NAC, but I don't have any background to do that, but I take it myself too. Also I like liposomal vitamin C, but that is just me, and I just wanted to say I like what you wrote here.

Autumn Wright

Thank you for the update and sending you good healthy vibes! If you are up to it, maybe do a quick dive into some of the science from other episodes that you didn’t have time to explain…such as how the astronauts got through the van Allen belt…not that we don’t love Jens explanation!

Travis Bauman

Tooth pain is the absolute worst! Ultimately take care of yourself. If you feel up to a short science episode, I would love to see what you come up with.

Ryan Downing

Get better man! We can wait

Lucas Del’ Abate

AJ rules

Sonia Flores

More updates. Sciency videos are great! Please get better. 2025 will be our year!

Nina

Ok take care I love watch to watch old take all meds

Julie Hall

I like the boring updates!

SandyK1014

Quantum entanglement sounds really intriguing - also in the past you have asked at ends of episodes if we want more about - I think they are called Vimanas? The ancient flying machines in India, if I remember correctly. That and anything more on Atlantis, ancient civilizations, it's all fascinating. Whatever is easier - but only when you feel better. Maybe you can work on the scripts for now.

Keith Haussel

Please don't feel the need to apologize for a health issue, or any other issue not in your total control. By posting videos like this, I think I can speak for us all here, you are being open, honest and caring of your fans. You are much more than just a guy who talks to a fish.

Julie Hall

Sorry for all your troubles. Do what's best for you, friend. Wishing you good healing.

Gavin Evans

More AJ moment would be cool

Gavin Evans

Mate it sounds almost as bad as the man flu. But seriously AJ look after yourself and get well. There’s 4 million of us that would prefer you to be well.

Holly Hoyt

Yes to the science thing and hang in there. Those of us of a certain age have all been there. For all the content you’ve already provided, I think we can be accommodating when life gets in the way.

Anthony Martini

Sucks getting old. Any problem with teeth sucks. But you, my friend, don’t suck .Take care of yourself. We’ll be here when you get back on the beam.

Gavin Evans

Blind us with science AJ

Kapisn89

I had an abscess tooth when I was in college. Worst pain of my life and my face swelled up and I couldn't sleep for 3 days from the pain.

Aurora Sunna

Rest and get well. ❤️

Keith Boynton

AJ, thanks for the update. Do what helps you get through this episode

Coraline KAZ

DO IT!!! Feel better AJ !!! We appreciate YOU!

Colin Butterworth

Damn, take care of yourself! I'm sure a straight science episode would be wonderful, but only do it if you are able. We will be here waiting and hoping that you recover quickly. And don't sell yourself short. Any updates are entertaining.

Joleen Bishop

Love the science idea. Please relax and rest too. Long-term infection takes a toll, and the immune system needs rest. I admire your honesty and I'm good with what you can produce when it works for you. I love compilations too.

Ivito

Thank you for the update AJ, I hope you feel better. Short videos are good and updates too. On the bright side, now that you have a dentist, you can go more often :) Take care

SandyK1014

Take care of yourself, AJ, I hope you recover quickly and completely.

G-L-O-R-I-A 🌹

I guess that should say ‘as ARE all things’. Oops 😬

SandyK1014

Same here!

G-L-O-R-I-A 🌹

There’s nothing new I can say to you - everybody else has said it (and probs better than I would have done🤷🏼‍♀️) but I wish you well with the surgery AND the implants! The science thing would be interesting and entertaining as is all things you and the team puts together. I trust your judgment. I hope you keep feeling better & better AJ. I am so thankful/grateful for finding the Why Files. Y’all are the best❣️

Lu Aspon

Dude, I broke a tooth the same day! Thankfully the bastard was already dead so it doesn't hurt. It's nerve pain, that's why toothache is one of the worse you can have. I'm just glad it's your maxilla and not mandible, lower jaw swelling can compromise your airways in minutes. Hang in there, AJ. Take care of yourself first, content shment.

KYLE LEE HANDY

Hey brother...Proverbs 27:1...it's how I survive the madness. Feel better my friend.

SandyK1014

Yes, I turn them on when I have trouble sleeping, of course then I don't want to sleep, they are all so good.

Meatblocker

Nothing wrong with a shortie every once in a while. Get some R&R, m8. PS. Vic is a champ and a good friend imo

SandyK1014

That sounds like me as well. After having a root canal, a few months back with constant discomfort I said, just pull it. So now I have a bridge, but feeling so much better.

Kimmie

Sending healing violet vibes

John Sheridan

Get well

Cheryl Fenner Brown

Great googily moogily AJ! That's a lot to manage. Take care of you first and foremost!

Shari Davis

Tooth pain is no joke…it flat out sucks! Going through it right now myself. Take care of you first always. 😊🙏

Elena Diamond

No worries! Take care 🤧

Bad-Haggis

There is nothing worse than pain coming from a tooth. I hope your surgery goes well. We're all sending you positive energy. I'm kinda in the same boat. Moving along with life. Had a spot that was itchy. Got it checked out. Now I'm having surgery tomorrow. Removing melanoma from my chest. I'm glad I caught it, but it's totally turning life upside down. Know that you're loved and We're all thinking about you. Stay strong 💪

GrannyLovesToDance

Oh and it stinks getting old!!! Not that you are old👀 I love the science idea❤️

Robyn Macedo

I am new here as a paying customer, so to speak..... Anyway, AJ, you just do whatever you need to do to get better. Your health is the thing that you must focus on, right now. Thank you for all of the great entertainment that you have brought to me. I will say a prayer for you. Feel better.

Cam

Hi! I’m listening to ur Spotify podcast. This will do until you feel better! I’m enjoying it! ❤️

Diane Given

I think any weird science episode ever is a win! And I have TERRIBLE teeth. I once broke a tooth biting into a banana! LOL So I sympathize with the dental issues. They suck. Glad you got it figured out, AJ. Victoria is a keeper!

Tyler Roach

Quantum entanglement for the win!

GrannyLovesToDance

AJ. Just take care of yourself!!! You are loved and we are all here for you! I have the worst teeth and sinus so I get it!!! I am much older than you and have gone through all of this! Just know this old granny is thinking of you and wish you all the best! Here is a big old granny hug for you 🫂🫂🫂

Scott Varol

Hey AJ hang in there, tooth pain some of the worst. BTW, The science idea sounds fun. Appreciate the update.

PD

TMI…not because i don’t care but because you shouldn’t have to explain your health issues.

CJS

Dude! Don't worry about the short episode, just get yourself well! We'll still be here! 🛌❤️‍🩹🌟

Debbie Peterson

Take care and get well soon. Implants are the way to go when a fracture is involved. Horrible pain. Hope you receive complete healing.

J.D. Brandon

First off I have to say .. AJ… you do not owe anybody ANYTHING!!! I understand that you care about people paying for you all’s work, however the content is FREE and everyone paying does it VOLUNTARILY!!!! Remember that please ! Me and my wife will keep you in our thoughts and hope you feel better ! Updates are cool just to make sure you are doing ok , but if you feel bad ..: you do you ! Thank you all again for what you do !

Amanda

Those three hour compilations saved me in the middle of the night while i was tending a newborn for a couple months

Dave Johnson

Life happens. We're all human (any alien/human hybrids jokes aside). We are all susceptible to something. Getting past this and rising up again is the number one priority.

Carey Arnett

Fill the gap… hehe. I’m all for it! Get yourself better and out of pain! ❤️

Christian Heurteau

Hey AJ don’t worry you are the best creator that there is and we appreciate your hard work. We are proud of your work and we support you all the way. I really miss the live feeds that you used to make once a week. Miss seeing the gang. I hope that you may do them again even if it’s only once a month 😀 hope you get better soon and look forward to seeing your next episode. Thank you 🤩🙏

Chad George

Pearly Whites is a great private practice here in town.

Chad George

Pearly Whites! If you cannot get in the, UNLV Dental school is actually better than you would expect. I just had the same thing happen this week.

Janet Goodart-Smoak

PS just try posting 1 or 2x a month. We love anything. It gives you time to keep all the other balls in the air 💜

Soilman

I had a similar issue years ago. We pulled the tooth and cleaned it up. Sinus issues are gone. Take some time off. ❤️

Phyllis Henderson

AJ take care of your self! Nothing worse than tooth pain.

Hadassah

I’m gonna steal this. Short Sweet and so very POWERFUL

Hadassah

We all love you and I consider you, Hecklefish and the whole team as my Ride or Die. Always in the corner with you and the fam. Get well ❤️‍🩹 🥴

Shanon Freeman

Sounds absolutely horrible. Feel better soon. Do what you want with the videos. We're here. Don't push too much. Just want you to feel better. I love hearing about your life. So yeah, I like this type video.

Drew Lane

Short episodes would be great! Love that idea!! :) but your health is always priority #1 - so make sure you take care of you. :)

Janet Goodart-Smoak

I've been there and done that! You'll feel much better when it's over. Trust me. It's getting worse before it's better❤️

Bosco Lemonzit

Know the pain, all my teeth, the roots are double hooked so pulling one out is a major undertaking and root canals never work and always end up with the tooth being pulled. Thank you for the update and take all the antibiotics!!

Girly Gil

More updates and I think we’re all invested in you being 100% Honestly, it’s a lot of content, maybe you’re doing too much? Sometimes the universe conspires to keep throwing a monkey wrench into our plans to get us to slow down. 🤷🏻‍♀️ (I just recently learned that piece of wisdom the hard way btw)🙃 A sciencey episode sounds great, and you have an amazing team who can probably do most of it without you. Take care of you!

Mark Ellis

Like someone else said, qusnilty not quantity. Get better. I nhaver had serious dental issues, so I understand...sadly.

Spencer Pyle

It's all good. Take care of yourself and get well soon!! We'll wait.

azreen

its ok man, take care of yourself first, your health is the first priority, and since your asking for suggestions, i would love to know more about quantum entanglement, sounds like a very interesting topic to cover, anyway man, all the best for you and team

David Johnson

Always love how transparent you are with everything. Tooth ache could make a titan crumble, it's the worst. Wishing you all the best with getting that sorted.

Genie F

Yes! Science episode, please

Sunshyne_8

Take care of yourself AJ! all my love to everyone on the team. Say hi to Hecklefish.

Anthony Cherubino

Hope you're on the mend soon!

NikNak

I can say confidently that when I had an abscess it was THE worst pain I’d ever felt. I wanted to not be alive. I made the mistake of going the root canal way and 4 pulpectomies, 3 visits to the ER, and a lost semester of grad school later, they ended up pulling the tooth anyway. TAKE EVERY SINGLE ANTIBIOTIC PILL THEY GIVE YOU. But I’m sure you know that. We would love a weird science video! If you’re up to it, of course. You are beloved and so important to us all.

Sandra Childress

Dude!! I’ll take any episode you want to throw at us… 15 mins or an hour, color me happy! Good luck with ur dental work, ugh, won’t be fun. Sending love 💙

Kate Gibson

Yay! Emerging from legal & personal yuk! Onward! Ouch! The dentist et al.. Looking forward to you returning to robust health & a fiendish curiosity. Thank you 🙏🏼🥰

passenger4

STOP BLAMING AND SHAMING MY FRIEND AJ! 🩵

Jessica Kelsey

Life happens when your making plans don’t worry, get better and I love science stuff or compilations all is good from The Why Files.

passenger4

Love any science!

Shanna Wright

I am a patreon because of your quality, not quantity. Rest=healing. Feel better soon after your ordeal!

Murrianna

Thank you for sharing. Rest and Recovery is what we ask you to do.

Bob Jonas

Couldn't agree with you more. He makes us feel like party if the family. That alone keeps my Patreon subscription!

Rambin Wreck

Short episode would be great!

Jayme Pace

Feel better. Take care of your health. That’s the priority. I don’t mind waiting for the next video.

Jermaine Colon

More updates

James

Hey AJ. Retired nurse with 35 years' experience. You need more than Amoxicillin. I know when you get a sinus impaction, bacteria stays trapped in there & festers, but any infection that can eat thru your sinus lining & the bone (even though it's very thin) is dangerous. You need a strong, broad-spectrum antibiotic like Cipro or Levaquin. Also, the blood from any body part higher than your upper lip circulates thru your brain before it returns to the venous circulation. Another reason to stay on top of this. 3 years ago, I got septic from a tooth abscess & spent 3 days in ICU, but a total of 10 days in the hospital. I have the same issue with the long roots on my teeth. I've felt every extraction, filling, & root canal that I've ever had in my life, no matter how much lidocaine they use.

Army Nation

Hey there AJ, we do appreciate the update. Kind of was worried about you. We all feel better that you feel better. Take as much time that you need. I back you up all the way my friend.

Anonimity Smith

Short science video yes. Love the videos just telling us about what's going on with you. Hooray white, black, and gray!

passenger4

Love you and not going anywhere. I think you have us forever so please treat yourself nicely! Hope your pain ends soon. Wish they treated teeth like whole body! You need anything you let us know!

Chuck & Deb

Take care of you! It's clear the stress this is having on you physically. We are not going anywhere and want you feeling better!

Spirit fox

💚💚💚 No one will ever remember the episode you didn’t post. 😉 Health is everything. Weird science is perfect. We’re geeks and nerds here we love that stuff.

Michael Willsey

Start AUTOPHAGY, for life! Done through Intermittent Fasting. Look it up! It's the best way to heal the body a natural way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLj2Qu4SuNQ

Chris Sloan

AJ keep your chin up! sorry pardon the pun, 2020 little did i know Covid would hit feb time kinda just before fortunately i had massive shooting pains to the right side of my jaw kept putting it of and taking painkillers 3 week later i couldn't take anymore turned out i needed 1 tooth filled and 1 root canal i had the same issues as you with the long nerves and where they travelled so they ended up drilling into my mouth after loads of needles giving me shots and i still had pain the dentist couldn't beleave it and had to stop so 3 x-rays later 2 hygienist at the end one filling 3 times to do root cannel and 2 time crown we were done it was not the best. stay strong mate big fan from England.:-)

Laura May

Mouth pain is the worst. Fyi you really don’t owe us anything. People are allowed to get sick, take vacation, have personal stuff pop up that require time off. People who feel otherwise are a holes that need a life. 😬 in my opinion.

Ed Griggs

I'm on board for short weird science videos. I have a 15-minute attention span anyway. I'm good with reruns (comps). Sinus and dental issues suck. I hope you're feeling well soon.

Craig William Dayton

AJ…You could read the phone book (remember those) and be entertaining. I always enjoy hearing from you, if only for a short update. So, post about anything anytime. Health-wise going forward, please consider the following. If you are not aware of NAC (N-Acetylene-L-Cysteine), it is a great supplement. NAC is the largest protein molecule that can enter the human cell, making it a powerhouse anti-oxidant. I have not been sick in 20 years and I don’t get flu shots and I did not get the Covid shot. I take 1500 MG per day, per my doctor’s orders. I am also 74, walk 30 minutes five days a week, and take Pilates two nights a week. Get well, AJ. Rest!!!

Margie Willis

We are family! Talk to us!

ElRobo

Love hearing the behind the scenes. We are all human. We'll except the president.. hahaha I love the sciencey videos. I love having a string to pull on that may unravel some yet to be discovered truths.

Mama J

You're a friend to many of us. Love the updates of what's happening with you. 🙏 for quick recovery.

Patrick Thomas

Short science would be awesome. Heal up and get going! Excelsior!

Robin Maxwell

You just need to take care of your health. And yes on tooth pain being the worst. Don't worry about us. We love you!

Vikki Fairchild

That sounds super scary. Thank you so much tho! I think I can speak for a good amount of us when I say, the fact that you take time to update us means everything 💜 I’m so sorry you’re sick and I hope you get well soon. I would love a short science video. 😊 but only if you feel up to it Please 🙏 more updates. About ANYTHING. It’s a feeling of being included in the back end. Which is why we, (well, why I) pay for Patreon. To feel included. Ok. Sorry it’s so long. See you soon 💜💜

Christopher B

Hey AJ, rub some dirt on it already and let's get back to making some content! Personal issues come secondary to ensuring we are entertained! In all seriousness, get well quickly! On a side note, I bet the legal issues stem from questionable activities and business ventures started by Hecklefish!!

Bob Jonas

Take care of yourself is priority #1. I will continue to be a patreon member no matter what AJ. I appreciate your updates and if you like doing them, the format is fine. But you and your team's health is the most important thing!! Heal up brother!!❤️❤️

Cromag68

Get well!

Bud Ashlock

Thanks for the update. You should definitely do more like this.

Jason Veal

Brother, take the time off to recover. You are human just like the rest of us. We'll be here!

Jason Spencer

... I almost forgot. I heard about your legal problems, and all I have to say is screw Hecklefish! It's a fair contract, and him trying to renegotiate it is such crap. That half a fish stick is lucky he's getting what he is. Don't back down!

Lauren Klutts

Sweetie, thank you for the update. Please just take time to get well. In the meantime... let Hecklefish pull his weight for a change. Give him an episode to host all by himself, while you are getting better.

Travis Bouirrie

Abcess in the teeth. Been there, done that. It SUUUUUCKS. Get better soon!

Mustangman

Use a Neti pot with Xylitol and a couple drops of decolorized iodine mixed with warm distilled salt water. Clean your mouth with a spoon of coconut oil a few times a day and spit it out. The mixture wipes out infections quick and also works for allergies. Don't use toothpaste. Toothpaste and mouthwash are a joke and wipe out the good bacteria. Coconut oil and Xylitol are a natural antibacterial. I add coconut oil and butter to my coffee because I like the taste of it more than straight coffee. I've had covid a few times because I don't care about working next to a person with it. It hasn't lasted more than a couple days since I started with the mixture, if I get it as all after working with them. A side effect of washing you mouth out with coconut oil is your teeth get whiter after a while.

Pali Kaaihue

Sending Aloha and light your way and the entire team. I love the videos and stories, I will enjoy them when they're ready and uploaded. Til then, rewatching the library that I binged in the first place when I discovered The Why Files🤙🏼

George Kuhn

"Black, white and grey.....except for the socks." So, let us see the socks, too! On a serious note, though, your first priority is to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF....always. We, your loyal supporters, understand that thing happen and we all know it is worth it to wait to see your work when your schedule gets these upsets. We willl be patient. Get well and good luck with the extraction and implants. I have zero medical training, but I think I would ask about general anaethesia for your procedure since it is difficult to numb you teeth and it sounds like there may be a fair amount of "digging" involved.

Avery's Mom

I mean, the campaign schedule has to be grueling. We get it. #Hecklefish2024 Feel better. Looking forward to the diamond encrusted grillz.

Amy Dryden

Yes, more updates are great!

Al Reynolds

Sciency stuff is great ! We'll eat up whatever AJ and team deliver. Also adore the compilations, I go to sleep listening to those.

John

Take care AJ… you got style 😎

Amy Dryden

Have Hecklefish do an episode on weird stuff.

Vilmos László Tell

Get better soon! The short episode sounds good if you feel the power to do it. Don't forget to take probiotics to feed the "good guys"

Jason Spencer

It is always apparent that you are trying your absolute best to put out quality content. Quality takes time. Quality also takes a clear head and a healthy body. I agree with some of the others, don't worry about posting anything, give in to the sickness and rest. You'll get healthier faster if you stop trying to fight it.

Joyce Williams

Newer member here. IMO Get better! Short videos, reruns, compilations, etc. Do what you need to do to do! ❤️ Would love to see updates, but nothing that will delay/prolong your illness. Get well soon!

Rob Albergo

Take your time, take care of yourself, do what you're up to with videos. We're not going anywhere and the updates are good.

Nichole Parker

Pull it, put in posts, get ready for your 50's, 60's, and dentures. It's really for the best. Your current gap may not be able to handle a post if the jaw has atrophied in that area. An area without a tooth will atrophy. Again, tongue scraping long term, antibiotics short term. I love this update, do more of them.

Jigsaw

AJ, yes to some short science videos

The InBetween - Tales of the True & Unexplained

Humans gotta human, AJ. We love ya! Hang in there. Glad you didn't let them try to save the tooth. 💜 Priority is health. Make it so. ☺️

shane woodruff

Get well soon, AJ!

Amy Dryden

AJ!!!! Take care of yourself! We'll be here when you are healthy.

Joan Robinson

Go to emergency, they will have a dentist on call or you can also look up emergency dental clinics in your area. Don't wait!

Rasputin Skaarsgard

We always appreciate the updates. You still endeavor to persevere for your loyal followers. My wife and I wish the best for you. Keep up the excellent work my friend.

Vicky Humphrey

Get some rest , let those meds do their thing. and get better soon xo ps I love weird science :)

Phunnybee

I love the science episodes. Would love quantum entanglement episode

Griever

Brother you do what you gotta do for you. Your health is the most important thing. We will still be here when you’re better. Get well soon man! Thanks for sharing with us.

Sarah

I don't know about everyone else, but I could listen to you just ramble like this 😅. Rest up AJ, take care of yourself.

Patriot514

Feel better. Don't worry about the schedule. We will still be here.

Peter Anniko

Take care of yourself - that’s the main thing - episodes can come afterwards!

Sendrius Telt

Good luck with the tooth pull! I’d love a short episode, but I’d prefer no episode so you can recover! But I always say that. Much love and appreciation to you all

MK NIGHTMARE

Tooth pain is the worst, especially with infection. Get well soon, take your time, and I'll be praying for you.

Jerry Long

AJ thanks for the update. You should just start work again when you're all ready and healed up. We all understand. Life happens.

Matt Iannelli

Entanglement is a good one

Jim Hoffman

I miss the science-y eps. DO IT!!

Matt Iannelli

Sciency is totally okay! Get well AJ, we all need ya brother ✌️😉

Barb

So glad you are getting the answers and help you need. No worries about content; do what you want, when you can. A short science episode would be great, and quick updates are a favorite which, as someone else said, keep us connected. Best wishes and love to all! PS: The best advice I got from a dentist when I had a bad toothache was to take 2 Ibuprofen and 2 acetaminophen at the same time no less than 6 hours apart. It was magic.

Angelina Lemon

Take the time you need to get better. Your health is more important than the videos. When I was in college in the 90s, I cracked a tooth and exposed a nerve. That was some of the worst pain I have experienced. I had to wait 4 weeks to save enough money to see a dentist. During that time, I tried everything to reduce the pain. I finally discovered that slathering on a peppermint paste reduced the pain and swelling. I hope the meds work their magic and wish you a speedy recovery.

Mick Mac

There's little can bring a grown man to tears as easily as some solid ear or tooth pain, no matter how tough he thinks he is. Get this problem fixed up, stop stressing about the schedule, toss us the occasional chit-chat video between the main features and everything will be just fine.

Peter Christian

AJ. You literally just told the same story I have been going through the last 4 months up here in Pahrump. Sinuses, abscesses, dental issues connected to it. I've been terribly sick for weeks. This takes a LOT out of you. Focus on treatment, and recovery FIRST, then the schedule. You and I are the same age, buddy. I get it.

Jordan

You should let hecklefish take over while you get better… lol

Jeff Pierce

AJ. Is there anything you need from us? You have our understanding, our patience, and our appreciation! Like everyone else here, please take care of yourself! With the quality you demand, anything you put up will be welcome ! We always want more…lol. Just take care of you and your team, Let the rest fall in place ( and it will ). Thank you from all of us !!!

Jim Hoffman

Yikes that's the worst sinus infection I've ever heard of! Nasal rinse won't touch that! Take care

Dane Busick

Also…I am in my 30s but I brushed my teeth twice, flossed, and mouthwashed while watching the video…

Dagger Hagger

Tooth pain is the worst, just had to pull a tooth last week it was so painful. When they got it out it was such a religious experience, God himself touched me! Lol

Jim Sharrow

A.J. don't do your own stunt work ! Get your body double busy 💪. Some science would do us all some good. Get well soon 🙏

David Parisi

We love you, AJ and team! Victoria is an angel for getting you in to see her dentist so quickly!! Tooth pain is no joke! Take the time you need to get better. I’ll still be coming back to watch whenever you’re ready. Yes to doing a short science-y episode! I used to love your shorts on the color blue not being visible to ancient cultures and tetra-chromatic vision and color blindness and the like. Your shorts are awesome! I like your updates because I like seeing you talking about the channel and your ideas for what’s coming next and what’s happening with your growing team! You don’t need to apologize or feel bad when there is a delay. Keep the apology part short and just talk about what’s happening with the growing team and what you’re thinking for the future and just what you’re thinking in general. Good luck with the tooth! I hope you feel better soon! You definitely have our support!!

Tina Lofthus

Always happy to hear from you, AJ!

Steve Wilcox

I understand completely where you're coming from. I know it's easy for me to say this but concentrate on your health first, and when it comes to dental pain, it's no laughing matter. I agree on the no root canal and crown. Stay on your meds and once they do that extraction the problem is gone.

CF

How about you just get better? I would be perfectly happy with that.

Dane Busick

I’m not going anywhere so do you my dude

LMMorgan

OH MY!! You’ve been through hell! Please take care of yourself first before posting new content! Life happens and you do a great job communicating with your viewers. I an into weird science! If Hecklefish could sing the Oingo Biongo song too that would make my day! Please also take your own advice, be kind to yourself and take care of yourself!!! You too are appreciated! 😊

Melissa Garrett

Don’t ever feel you have to apologise for looking after yourself, AJ (although I do appreciate the update to let us know what’s going on). I’ve had a tooth abcess/impacted wisdom teeth in the past, and it is not fun. If you don’t get the chance to upload anything until it’s fixed, I will simply consider my Patreon as payment for the amazing back catalogue I have at my fingertips (and then watch them all again 😉). This is probably no help for this time around, but for the future, have you ever considered cloning your voice with something like Voice Universe, Natural Reader, or Revoicer? It might give you the option to at least create podcast episodes when you’re physically unable to film, but are still up for writing and editing. Anyway, just a thought. Get well soon! ❤️

Dane Busick

Love me some e science! Science me now!

Bryan Scott Hardie

We appreciate the update and don't apologize to us. Always take care of yourself and family first. A short episode would be nice if you can manage it, but don't push yourself too hard. And personal updates are always welcome.

Marty M

Life is allowed to happen to you AJ. Get better and don’t wreck yourself just to get us new content because I repeat watch most of your stuff anyway - love the compilation episodes!

Cameron Bennett

U can still see where it was swollen, that sucks AJ, bro there are very few things in the world worse then tooth pain. You'll feel like a new man when that tooth comes out though..

Tlipsinic

Get better. You need to take care of yourself. A short video on reaching the singularity or quantum entanglement time travel would be sweet.

Trevor Valentine

Don't feel obligated to get a video up. We will still be here when you are better.

Doug Coffelt

Appreciate the update. It's always nice to get a little peak behind the curtain. A short science video would be great ... Or no video would also be fine as long as you take care of yourself. That's what's most important. Get better, we'll be here when you're ready.

Paul D Berkebile

A short episode will be fine and if you need to do a compilation when you have the oral surgery, that'll be fine, too. Be sure to take all of your meds! (Yep, I'm a pharmacist, lol.)

Joy Burton

Hope things turn around... Willing to wait... ⚘️🙏

Phoenix VanDaele

more communication plz

SRSBZNZ

Get well AJ! If you have any cheek pain after it's removed within the first couple of days that feels off, go back right away to check that you don't get a fistula into your sinus. That'll just make it a whole lot worse 😓 Take care of yourself, please.

Siani Reece

Get well dude. I have had medical issues this year too, so I feel you. Something on quantum or zero-point energy would be okay, but don’t stress about it.

Francis Smith

WTF go to bed. Rest and relax, everytime you don't rest it will take much longer to come back.

Tim Harris

Get better soon dude

Charles Crooks

Take your pain meds, watch “Marathon Man” and don’t sweat the production delay. Take care.

C.Hopper5

Just get well. We’re all good here. Although Q and A’s with the team to get to know everyone would be cool. Like a 20 questions format or something like we see celebrities do all the time on youtube.

Bryan Scott Hardie

It still looks swollen.

Daniel L Baldwin

I find it moving that you are willing to share this personal stuff with us. Take care brother.

Tony K

Yup--all about the short "sciencey" vid. Stop sweating it. Get the tooth issue handled. Good luck and feel better. PS-bourbon. Nuff sed 😉

19BiGRED74

Bro. Pain sucks. Dental issues suck. Sinus issues suck. SO glad you were able to get some help so quickly!!! Thank you for such a transparent update AJ. I'm sure those meds will help you with your sinus issues as well!!! Thinking of you, wishing you more than well. Take care of yourself. I will leave you with a quote from my favorite movie; In the 1987 movie The Princess Bride, Count Rugen tells Westley, “Get some rest. If you haven't got your health, then you haven't got anything”. ⚕️😎

Phoenix VanDaele

Do the science stuff, would like the refresh

SusanWoodcarver

Whenever you post, whatever you do, we’ll be here for you. Sending you hugs and love.

Lisa Holtzclaw

We are here for you and want for you to take care of yourself. My heart hurts for you. Your health is paramount right now. Love that your sense of humor is still intact.

Evan

What kind of socks do you wear?

David Book

Get better soon

Blake Blake

Quantum entanglement!!

Melissa

Ha, long roots lol!

Simon Owusu

Get better soon, you should let Hecklefish step in !

Greg Gall

Focus on your health

Margo Monroe

Ah. I'm going to act like your mother. You've had an on-going sinus infection for months. Antibiotics would have taken care of it. Don't be a typical man; take care of yourself.

Ken Parks

Get better! Short chats are great cause folks start to worry when we don’t hear from all of you

Monte Crypto

Get better soon brother!

Ashley

Take your time and get better!

kevlee68

You're good AJ. Get fixed up, you know we are always here for you.

Just Felice

Yes! I feel like your family

Ferfer

Sending a big hug your way AJ

jay

Sciencey video would be great but duuuuuuude .....get better and take care of yourself. Your health is more important than your YouTube channel

Just Felice

Take care of you. And skip what you need to we will be here when you get back. Prayers for you.

Autumn Spredemann

Ps...are you hiding in your closet? Get some proper rest AJ. You deserve it!

KayBear

Take care of yourself

Justin Looby

Who doesn't love Weird Science? Go for it

Mark Rizzo

AJ. I'm sure I'm echoing everyone in the patreon site when I say you are definitely one of the most stand-up guys that I'm glad I've gotten to know in such a short period of time I'm only sad that I'm so late to the game with the WhyFiles. I would have loved to have known you all from the start. Victoria, Jen, SMK, Hybrid, and all the rest of your incredible team or should I say family. I think like others have said an update from you on how you're doing if you if you're not in too much pain every once in a while would be great. A short sciencey video would also be great but let's not hold you to that. Like you said you're coming out of the darkness and into the light finally in so many ways. I'm glad I've seen this side of you because it makes me believe even more in what you do and what the crew helps you do. Prayers out to you for the successful tooth removal and may you be mended soon so we can get back to the business of enjoying the WhyFiles. 😊

Chaos Walrus

Thanks for the update! I personally don't mind the delay, life is just like that sometimes. A science episode sounds good to me, and I hope you feel better soon!

Zina Boeyenas

AJ I hope you heal quickly. Thank you for posting and anything you put out will be perfect.

William Alsing

First priority, take care of yourself!

Molly

Just watched your video and am sending good thoughts for healing your way. Your shows are worth waiting for. I’m sure all of us Why Files patriots feel that way - we just want you to feel better and come back to us when you are ready. And as for your question, yes, I for one would enjoy any sharing from you, personal or otherwise. Peace!!

QuantumSledgehammer

Short episode, long episode, no episode. AJ, just worry about getting better over the tooth and sinus thing…we’ll be fine. The brief updates are also great. Any others that you want to do in the future would be greatly appreciated, as we all want to know how the behind the scenes is going. So, if you’re feeling well enough to produce a short video, that would be great. Or if you’re too sick or in too much pain and can’t do it, that’s OK too. Times like this is what a back catalog of older videos is for. Love you guys! Focus on getting well!

Autumn Spredemann

Cheezits bro, your health comes first or this whole operation comes off the rails. I can see you having a quiet panic attack in this video (fellow high functioning anxiety veteran here), but don't worry about a mini vid to hold us over til the main course. Just get better and take a breath. We'll be here when you're ready. ❤️

Mike Hays

Thank you for the update, but you should prioritize your health and comfort first and foremost. Any real fans will respect your needs. That said, if you want to do a short sciencey video I would love it. Even if you don’t do it before your surgery, it’d be an interesting addition to your repertoire. Looking forward to whatever you do, and please take care of yourself.

Ronte Foster

Health 1st AJ. Whatever you and the team can give will be fine. And dont blame yourself for things that you can not fully control. Take care much love.

Dana

Sounds like your abscess ruptured. Which would explain why it turned around so rapidly. Take care of you and yours AJ!

Vince

You have our trust so no apologies necessary. Take care of yourself that’s all that matters.

MS

More boring updates! I like the humanity

Walt!

Dude. You should go back to the short form every now and again. On another note I had an extra tooth grow in my sinus. Getting that out was a nightmare. But the sinus infections went away.

Just Felice

Tooth pain is no joke.

Ryan and Mandy D

You owe us no explanation. Please please please please please take care of yourself!

BellaMorte

We love you guys like our weird extended family. Get yourself and your family better, we'll be here. ♡

Chuck Criss

totally down for short episode...Hopefully get little hecklefish. But take care of yourself first. I also have dentist appointment 16th . thank for the update,

Michael Goad

Thanks for the update. Take care of yourself. We will be here.

Jonathan Abercrombie

Hopefully you get better soon we love you AJ

Kasey Erin

Please take care of yourself, AJ. 💕 My mom had something similar and it led to problems with her white blood cell count for months until she got the tooth and abscess taken care of. Crazy. Thinking of you and the WF fam.

al

Good luck! I love reruns so take your time !

Mark Leslie

No worries, we definitely don't NEED the mini-fill stuff as much as YOU need the rest and recovery. I have been dealing with sinus infections, sinus surgery, and tooth issues (implants/etc) my entire life it seems! :-D Make time for yourself and your health! We will all be excited for new things after that has been taken care of! <3

Just Felice

You take care of you and yours… I would wait forever to see you again.

Dan Magaro

I'm sorry I hear about this. I have had severe sinus infections in my life but never anything like that. This sounds worse! Get better and don't be too hard on yourself. We know you'll get things back on track as you can and we'll be here.

Lee Payne (LRP)

Take time and get well soon!

Robyn Dunne - Dunne Right Photography

Literally just had to have an emergency tooth extraction this week bc of the pain, tooth problems are NO JOKE. Hugs!!

Sunflower

Ew! AJ that’s awful! Take care of yourself. 🙏🏻

Ashley Roberts

Tooth pain is the worst. I had to have a tooth cut from the root and the root left to die and move out of my jaw bone. Why files helped me through that awful pain. Hope all goes well with the oral surgery!

Daturaze

A self styled tough guy admitting he's in pain—in my book, that's what being tough is all about. I can only speak for myself but the videos can wait - get healthy, physically and mentally and get back to it when you're ready.

Jason troyer

Yes sir that tooth pain is the worst

Wildmoon

Whatever you post we will enjoy...just as long as you're taken care of!

Alchemar

Weird science sounds fun. Short chats if your up to it. Most important get rest and heal.

james millar

Bro get yourself fixed up first

Justin Iwanicha

I’d love to see some fun, weird, science themed episodes. Take care of yourself AJ! All the best! You are amazing ❤️

Xzekia

Take care of your health. I appreciate that you want to take care of your fans too, but you can't do that if you don't make yourself number 1. If you feel you NEED to post something, a short video is fine, nothing is fine as well and we can wait.

Evan

Love you AJ

Will /

You need to take care of yourself brother, we aren’t going anywhere you work so hard to bring us outstanding content. Take your meds, hydrate, sleep, and avoid New York!

Bonnie Buck

Honey, do whatever you can, do a compilation both weeks you're good... I've had a year from hell before when I went in thinking it was just my arthritis (and it was) but I needed surgery to keep me from being paralyzed because my spinal column collapsed on my spinal cord... Then got the surgery going back to the neurosurgeon and he noticed a tremor thought it was trapped nerves nope got diagnosed with Parkinson's... It was the end of me being able to work... Don't worry about us.. We will wait just keep us updated and take care of yourself... Something small can kick your ass believe me much love to you all (y'all 😂)

Field Provider

Thanks AJ. I can relate to the tooth situation. I just had my #2 extracted. Going back for implants soon too. Keep it up brother!

Mark Kemmerer

Take care of yourself A.J.! That the most important thing to do. Everything you do is always worth waiting for. I enjoy your work immensely! Have good evening and feel better!

None Yourbiz

Thank you! Yes “just pull the tooth” is something I’ve said before. I have the same issue with my tooth roots. Root canal’s NEVER work. End up having to get the tooth pulled anyways. Feel better soon friend.

Brian McPeake

I had a similar issue 3 years ago. They had to lay down new bone since the infection was so bad. Ended up with 2 implants as well. Good luck with the surgery and recovery!

Kristi

I Hope u feel better soon . Please Take care of yourself, We All love you here❤️

Sue DiSanto

Short segment would be great! Hang in there!! It will get better!

Tamarah Hood

Short is fine

Gordon Cavanaugh

Take care bud. Get some rest!

Dano Tanaka

Updates are cool, you don't have to be entertaining all the time 👍

Amy_OnlyForHecklefish

Too long? Never! More updates? Yes, please!! AJ, we like to hear from you...we truly care about your well being. And our well wishes, good vibes, and prayers will help. 😉 I wish you quick healing, and easy tooth extraction (hopefully while sedated 🤣).. Love and peace to all of you! ❤️ Edit: I forgot...hell yes to science!

Walter Scott

Take whatever time you need, we can find something else to occupy the time until you are back. Do NOT let the videos cause more stress than you are already under. True fans will still be here whenever you are back.

Jane Harper

Just don’t twy to bwief da Pwessident…

Eric E Erickson

Man do what you need to do. Your the one driving the bus; the rest of us are just passengers.

Philip

Whatever you think is good, do that. Whatever you do is fine with me. I'm praying for you, as many others are probably doing.

Brian Espy aka Squad 51

Just feel better AJ. Had to have a tooth pulled a couple months ago for almost the same thing.

Barbara Silano

Just take care of yourself please 🙏🏼

VZM

Thank you for taking the time. Focus on getting better. You'll want to be medically optimized for your upcoming oral surgery and subsequent recovery from said procedure. Get some rest.

Erica Entwistle

Might need to build up the jawbone if any of it has been eaten away by the infection. Ask me how I know. Implants rock. Good luck!

Antonio Barilaro

Sorry to hear AJ ! Sending lots of wellness blessings your way buddy. 👍🙏

Shane

Thanks for the update AJ. All that matters at this point is your health. We'll be here when you get back to it.

Brian Stanko

Fuck the schedule. Look after yourself and just get better!

Boothgod

Do the science short! I personally miss some of the original short fun content. I know that dental pain though and you guys take care of yourselves. This channel is still great and will continue to be a lot of fun. 🦷❤️‍🩹

Emil

No need for apologies.

Wavycrisps

Sorry for the multiple comments. I accidentally pushed send. Save the headache and have it extracted. Takes 20 minutes, a couple weeks of healing and a round of antibiotics. Yes, you will have one less tooth. But you only have one life.

David Hernandez

Np.🤟

Nan Fran

Sending all the love/prayers/healing energy to all y’all for all the things. Take care of yourselves first. We are “here for it”regardless of when “it” is presented. Never forget that! Like I tell all my guild mates, tabletop crew, and gamer friends [Insert Homer screaming “NEEERRRRRD” here] - REAL LIFE COMES FIRST. You do what you need to do for yourself - the real ones follow (or whatever that one meme I saw on my feed once before X randomly refreshed said). You get the point. 🫶🏻 TL;DR: Chin up, [man pecs] out. Love, support, and all the healing prayers/energy coming y’all’s way. ❤️ Here for all of it on YOUR timetable and no one else’s, regardless if 💩 happens and things change.🤝🏻 P.S. Snazzy socks are hella snazzy! But snazzy fuzzy socks are where it’s at. 😉

Ryan Janik

You take a lot on your shoulders I can empathize feels like being the central pillar and have apologize for normal life stuff. SHIT HAPPENS Forest Gump. you’re a fucking rockstar take all the time you need we love you Ps I had a bunch of dental stuff going on then I switched to Apagard Premio toothpaste and I kid you not it’s been 7 years problem free and it literally repaired a crack in one of my front teeth. PPS: Have you thought about doing a hecklefish only episode? That would be wild

Baboa

AJ you never need to explain yourself. We love you and your content has always been superb. Rest up and gain some mental clarity when you can.

Heather McCrary

Tooth pain is the absolute worst! I’d rather go through childbirth again lol. Take your time! You can update us whenever you want to, but no worries! Healing takes time💜💕

Dane Apodaca

You're amazing and I hope you get it all taken care of. Tooth pain is the worst thing ever.

Nero UH

Go for what makes you feel better

Cam

AJ take of yourself. No apologies needed for me. Whatever ur schedule is for doing videos. Thats fine by me. Yes! I would like normal updates. Take care! ❤️

Ruby Corundum

You're lucky to have Victoria 🩷

Vince Babbra

Legend. Get well soon and know you're appreciated.

Michael Adcock

AJ- Thanks for the update. No need for apologies. We know how hard you and the team work. When you’re well, we’ll be here.

Laura Marie Binder

Do what u need to do Updates are good We love u

LEA SIDDALL

Do some weird science

George Ford

Thanks for the sincere video. You are an amazing person and excellent communicator. It appears you have some "Growing Pains" with the show and getting the right people in the right places to assist in your vision. You have to hit a few bumps in the road along this journey which will make the success feel even better. Sorry you aren't feeling so well - and cheers to you for sharing so much with us. That's sincere honestly. Let's go for an airplane ride sometime. I'll drive.

VolCanixWorx Sadie

I really feel your pain. I've had to have about 13 teeth removed because they shattered when my wisdom teeth came in and it caused an infection right under my right maximiliar sinus and spread down through my jaw. Rest, the antibiotics, and lots and lots of fluids is really the best medicine at this point. You do want to make sure that that infection is gone before having any work done. Also, sitting up or bending over putting pressure on the face, things of that nature it can make it hurt more. So try to take it easy. I mean, y'all know me. I'm going to be here regardless of content output. I know that you'll get content out when you can. But for me, it's never been supporting out of want for content, I support you all because I want to, not to make you feel like you have an obligation to have content out every week. So do what you feel you're up to, please don't push yourself. My mom used to say "you can't take care of other people if you haven't taken care of yourself." Hope you get to feeling better soon ✨️ Side note, personally I appreciate the updates like this. for one it helps us know what's going on in your life so that we know how to better support ya, but also it is a different element than the structured content that you put out on YouTube. it shows, me personally, Humanity, authenticity, it makes me feel like you trust giving us a peek into your life even when things like this are going on, and for things like this it doesn't have to be entertaining. it's raw it's real, and I think it can help people connect better. sorry my comment has been so long😅

Jamie Johnson

Rest up! And let me help with the research, outline, structure workload! I applied to be a researcher. I'll work for cheap! I'll even intern! And I'm getting you a green shirt for Christmas!

TWRS

Short, maybe 5-10-minute updates every week or two would be awesome and get well soon.

Liminal Phate

After 19 extractions and a 20th reconstruction /bones sliver removal surgeries.... I feel you're pain AJ. I was labeled a hard anesthetic so instead of just a couple surgeries... It turned it in 19 separate extractions. The 20th my mouth swelled up like a balloon. And I was in the emergency room same night. But I was not taken seriously. You got my love and respect bro

Wavycrisps

If it is an abscess tooth, rinse your mouth with salt water a few times a day until you can see your dentist/oral surgeon.

Maria Mazzacane

Just be good to yourself. That's all.

MiseriesChild

Go get some rest and get feeling better. True fans will be here for you because we know you're only human. Much love to you all!! 🙂 Edit: As far as content, do whatever you are physically able to. I love any episode, long or short, but don't push yourself and over do it. 🙂

Al Ricci

To quote someone I’m rather fond of, “be safe, be kind and know that you are appreciated.”

Bobo Jenkins

I definitely don't NEED the updates, but I still like watching you tell us stuff, even if it's mundane. Feel better, and we'll be here when you're ready!

Ellie S

Omg intimate not untainted, I’m not an AI stiff

Dane Hart

Thanks for the update AJ. Always value the insight and transparency

Cheesefire

Get well soon, and sure keep us updated. I’m dealing with a root canal that went bad. I’m hoping to find a dentist to send me to an oral surgeon soon.

Joan Tate

AJ - take care of yourself, please. We’ll watch when the new episodes drop and in the meantime, we can watch other episodes. 😀❤️ Victoria - you rock!!!! Thanks for coming through for AJ. ❤️❤️

Deepwater

Honestly I don’t think any episode is necessary but a short sciencey one would be fine. I also love the “boring” updates in general because you guys feel like family to most of us and it keeps us connected. Get better soon AJ ❤️

Ellie S

Always great to have short videos! They are more personal and they feel like OG why files. If you did that a little more often it would give you time for big ones and probably cut down on the critique of those who miss the untainted videos.

C.L. Landers

You owe us nothing, and I'd pay you to read the back of a cereal box. Take care of you - tooth pain is THE WORST. Praying for your quick recovery.

Crash Cat

Take care of yourself, and get some rest. Don't worry about your schedule; your heath matters. I do hope you feel better, and I send you much love! ❤️❤️ ❤️

William Lyles

Do a couple weeks of comps. Let Jen & Vic narrate something with Heckie, let him Heckle you with them. Let them talk about something simple or female oriented. Rest, Heal, and stop feeling guilty. We know YouTube is a job and takes time. And life stuff happens.

David Lueck

Take care of you, man...don't really care about the content, but if I had to vote.... Science, heck yeah!

John Bond

Good to hear love the videos.

Danielle Galvin

While I really appreciate the update, I would much rather you get rest and let your body heal. We will still be here when you’re better!! Take care sweet man!!

Sheila Goodwin

So sorry you are going through that. I went through the same thing and the pain was so bad I could not talk. Horrible but they gave me penicillin and it worked. Just rest and take care of yourself. Thank you for the update. Praying for you.

Albert Romero

I think a short show on the younger dryas, or the time travel physics would be cool.

Plinkster

More updates please! Good luck with the tooth and feel better soon 😁

Kim Moore

Love the updates ☺️

Jessie

Bro. I would pay my membership just to have you log in and record videos about…just…stuff. 😂 like this! No production needed, just content of whatever. That’s all we ask! Lol.

toni

First and foremost your health is the most important. I’m sure I speak for most of us when I say we’re here for you and the team. Get some much needed healing rest.

Linda Dauphinee

I feel your pain AJ - literally. I’m having my problem tooth pulled Monday morning. Don’t worry about the schedule. BTW would love an episode on quantum entanglement

Karen Sickel

No need to apologize! When you feel better we would love to have a new episode. Until then take care of yourself. We can wait. My donation isn’t changing one little bit. I may in fact increase it. Prayers to you.

Mike Robinson

And seriously - feel better…. Nothing is worth your health - not even Heckle Fish

D F

Weird science yesss

Deanna Middleton

💗

Mario Herrera Bastidas

Try not to use implants.

Mindelynn

Take care of yourself that’s the priority. We will be here.

SiriusWolfQuest

Dude - first and foremost get better, feel better and get some needed rest. Just chill! Hugs and healing ❤️‍🩹 we will be here for you - do NOT rush this.

joshua jimenez

U gotta take care of u first

Donna Manning

I am o very sorry you are going through this! We are sending positive thoughts for your speedy recovery! We will still be right here!

John Kenney

Feel better, tooth pain is the worst. In Iraq when I was injured, broke my front teeth off, and that almost hurt more than the injury that disabled me and retired.

Eric Steward

We love you. Take care of yourself.

Mike Robinson

Science! Hell yeah!

Melanie

I hope you feel better soon!!

Holly Pierce

A.J., love the socks. We appreciate you and hope your tooth problem is solved soon. My husband and I love you and the whole team. Just take care of yourself, we still support the channel and look forward to the next show. Take care.

Jonathan Carter

AJ you have nothing to be sorry for.

D. Cummins

I envision a fish coming toward you with a pair of pliers.......

Stardyncer

10 min video

Smiley Scheel

Do what you have to do to fully heal. Tooth pain is the worst! We can all just chill until you're back to 100%. Be well!!

Guillermo Duran

Take care!

Nancy Z

Take care, please. Things happen. We will always be here❤️💞

RedSonja13

💯

Stardyncer

Yes quantum entanglement! Please

J.R. Bowen

We love you and your videos. We will wait for you. Just get better, take care of yourself, stay positive, and know that YOU are appreciated!!

Justin Barber

By the way the "boring" updates are interesting as well

Skinny Piglet

AJ. Anyway to the surgery sooner? Full moon is never a good time for surgery. The full moon is 09/17. If that’s the only date, then you have to do it. A week later would be better. Anyway, Grace and Light ahead.

Dalyn Lipps

Speaking for myself, i will watch anything you make, regardless of when. Love you guys!

D F

Yeah just pull it

William Kennison

AJ, I was going to suggest 1800 dentist. But that's taken care of by good friends. Take care of yourself. The actual treatment for sinusitis is a series of antibiotics, but most people just suffer through needlessly.

Zeb Francis

Just take care AJ, we’re here.

Albert Romero

No worries take your time.

Rønnie Davis

I deal with the same stuff you're dealing with, just can't afford a dentist so I deal with it and buy amoxicillin from friends and family. Much love, don't worry about the schedule. And updates are always nice, they just feel, personal. Keep em comin.

Martin McGinnis

Make sure you take all the antibiotics because your gonna feel like a million bucks but you have to take them all

Tiffany Robinson

Take care Of You!!! It’s sweet that you want to explain- and I appreciate the effort, but you don’t owe anyone a darn thing. (Doesn’t stop me from watching it all!!) medical stuff is HARD, so get better and take your time Doing it so that you’re back at 100 soon!

Kim Moore

AJ, AJ, you have to start taking care of yourself. Weird science works and a comp or 2.

Interstellar Frequency

I vote quantum entanglement. You get better. We’ll all still be here. Don’t be sorry. Make the best content as possible keep the art form going.

Dano Tanaka

No worries man, you're all getting there 👍 rest up!

Steve O

Yes!!! More boring content about your life! We just want to make sure you are okay! Been in your dental shoes so I feel your pain. Please take care of your health!

Gary McDonald

Hey get some rest.

Pfa1981

Take care of you my friend, anything you put ou will be a bonus. Updates are good but do not feel bad about what you cannot control.

Bob smith

Take care of yourself. Don't blame yourself. Everyone has tough times. We all understand.

Scott 'Spooky' Madison

Don't worry about anything but getting well, tooth problems are absolute hell. Any content you can throw out during this time is appreciated no matter how short. Stop beating yourself up about the schedule, and give Victoria a raise btw, she's golden. Take care AJ.

Katherine Carroll

Hope you’re on the mend! Don’t worry about the schedule. I just love listening to you. Doesn’t matter what the topic is! 🤗

Amy Raubenolt

TY for the update. Feel better!

Mandy B

AJ...take the time to rest seriously. We will be here. Sounds like you've been through the ringer a few times. We appreciate you and your team. Don't apologize for things you can't control :)

TomAi

Yes! AJ DO THE SUPER SHORT OLD SCHOOL WHY FILES EPISODE!! That’s what made your channel clever before

Swanky

If I didn't know better, I'd say it was a CIA, or NSA or any number of 3 letter agencies trying to take you out! Look after yourself mate, we'll still be here.

Philip Mercer

Pause.

Miranda Morgan

From someone with chronic maxillary sinusitis who had to have my permanent bicuspid pulled out of my sinus cavity when I had braces almost 30 years ago because it was stuck up there please please please go see an ent just to make sure you are on the right path as far as antibiotics go.. most drs prescribe the correct regimen of antibiotics to fully clear sinus infections they just slap a bandaid on the issue. I’ve since lost that same tooth for the exact same issue in my sinus cavity because of deep infection just it was my right bicuspid

MissFitze

Please rest :) we love you all!

Gary McDonald

Weird Science sounds good

Justin Barber

Brother do whatever you have to do just take care of yourself don't worry about us were always hear

trickeh2k

That's the best course of action coming from someone who experienced it. I waited a bit long, when I got to the dentist they said that if i came like hours later they'd just put me in an ambulance and rush me to the hospital. Wisdom tooth but the pain the experience is just about the same.

Susan OBrien

Within the last six months when I needed amoxicillin, I had to go to three different pharmacies to try to get the prescription filled. And when you have a broken tooth, heck, yeah get that tooth taken out.

Stahr Freedle

😂😂😂

QOoQo

I think a quantum-esque science oriented topic would be really great! Don't push yourself too much, though~ Also, if you enjoy doing the updates and shorts like this, they are still entertaining!

BushkaBlue

Anything you do is appreciated, but not at the cost of your health.

Walter

I would say take care of yourself AJ. That's the priority. The videos can wait. Your health is what's important

Karen Stewart

I’m so glad you’re feeling better. You are more important to us than your videos. Stop worrying about the schedule!

Amanda Hamlin

I think a quantum entanglement shortie would be interesting. Take care of yourself first tho and then worry about videos!!! We love and support you!!

Shayne Whited

Dentists would lose their patience and temper with me when I was a kid for the same reason. Went almost 15 years without going to one due to that. Then foods a good one. lol

MICHAL PAJACZKOWSKI

Get well soon.

Rory Sage

Appreciate the update. You take care of you. We will still be here. Also, totally down with a short episode.

MedusaDzire

Do what is best for you! We all have issues too so we understand❤

Logan

Feel better, hopefully things will start flowing smoother for you

Dinkum Aussie

Take care of yourself AJ, we all will still be here. Hope you’re feeling better soon, and glad all the other social media crapola is over with.

Zeb Francis

If you do weird science, you and HF have to wear bras on your heads.

Jeremiah Kassin

Do what you have to do, man. There's no show if you don't take care of yourself.

Steve O

Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Please take care of yourself man!!!

D F

All pain is inflammation

Rafael Ramirez

AJ, take the time to take care of yourself and yours. We are here to support you. Thank you for the magic ya'll bring it to our lives! And yes, more science! I love your video on numbers which might have been your first or one of your first! R&D

Barb L.

You need to do whatever it takes to feel better, A.J. Your audience will be here whenever you’re ready to come back.

kimberly

UPNY...FLX? You would be in my neck of the woods!

Kristine Ruff

Sinusitis is the worst pain! I had my first bout while in Basic Training. I couldn't even lean my head down without searing pain. Feel better AJ.

Mark

And of course I messed up I meant I share your pain lol

XiaoAnon

Get well Soon Aj and may I say how much i appreciated the reference to Mount MF Hayes in the recent upload - always makes me laugh. Love and laughter to you, your family and Team.

Nonsense

Thank you Aj! Appreciate all of your content! It was great talking to you a couple weeks ago on discord.

D F

Ibuprofen. Can't say it enough. Literally the only pill worth taking. It screws up the esophagus and stomach tissue but those can come back quickly. Love and Light homie

Steve O

WEIRD SCIENCE!!!!! OOOOOOO!!!!!

K.B. Smith

MK Ultra worked on a Aggressive Bacteria that could be inhaled and would eat through your Sinus cavity and cause a Blood infection.. It took months to take effect… Be Safe. Bro

RedSonja13

So so sorry AJ. Please heal quickly.

kimberly

Oregano oil for systematic infection. And cloves good for dental pain. I am so sorry you are going thru this. Dental pain is the worst!!! Take care of YOU!!!!

Tonya Wright

Please take care. Infection put me in the hospital for months then 3 months in a nursing home. It's very serious. Sending healing vibes your way.

Mark

I dare your pain I have to go back this month for more work and I am 51 so I get it. IT’s scary to think about some of that stuff

Tim Melendy

Dude, Love you. No need to apologize. Get better so we can enjoy your content for years to come .

starmanres

We will always choose your health and the health of your team over the schedule. We send our ❤️!!

D F

Ibuprofen my friend. By the handfuls. Definitely an abscess. I've been there so many times

Zeb Francis

Yeah you’ve had that sinus stuff since before the move to the new studio. Commenting as I watch

pheobekate

ooo ooo, tooth stuff is horrible. I just had two teeth removed via oral surgery. that stuff is no joke. I have lost someone close to me because of a bad tooth. legit, you are correct, it will cancel a subscription to life real quick.. rest up, AJ. get better, soon. .... quantum physics is fascinating❤️ I would LOVE science-y stuff.

Anthony Lozano

My god man it's a video. Do whatever heath is most important God bless

Stardyncer

Me too!

Shawn Hamilton

Stay healthy please

Celebrated Razorworks

I'm sorry. It'snot ur fault. Had double rooted incisors that got infected all the way into my sinus. Like a softball in my face, i finally drained it myself. 🤢💀

Andrew Zeise

Mouth pain is THE worst. Hang in there AJ. Stay Love'ish......... now I'm checking my teeth in the mirror......eeeeesh, i shouldn't have looked

Henry Hidalgo

Get drunk for the pain

Donald Jordan

AJ, listen. Thank you for everything that you do for all of us.

Zeb Francis

Did you try Orbit gum AJ?

TomAi

Get well soon!!!!

MIKΞL

Feel better As far as episodes, anything is fine by me 🙂 👌 it is all good for me as long as you feel better ✌️

CHRISTOPHER MCCASKEY

In the interem compromising pictures of Heckle Fish and Gertie would be entertaining as hell

Martin McGinnis

Your the best Aj

Brian Crowder

You’re okay bro. We understand that stuff gets in the way, we are cool hanging out waiting for the next drop. Be well buddy.

K.B. Smith

You have a Fan Base that Loves you and will Always be there …. Keep up the Great work My Friend …..

Teresa

So sorry! I know y'all are trying, just get rest, take time and come back when you can. If you're going through hel keep going (I'm not out yet but I have hope that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train...I hope😂)❤️🙏

Jacob Scott

We appreciate everything you do aj. The whyfillians will wait

Rob Erman

Take care of yourself first! We are here when things are back to good!

Tony Brookshire

Take care of you and yours. Nobody expects them to be weekly releases. Get rest, have a toddy, and take care.

Mr.Spider66

In AJ I trust. Kept your head up. As far as a short ep. Quantum entanglement with your spin on it should work well. Have at it. Keep it short. Yes more updates. Don't be sorry,

The Frost Zone

You just do what you need to do to make yourself better so you can continue for yourself and others around you

Henry Hidalgo

Go to sleep eat some soup Pho preferably

Julia Fox

Thanks for the update Aj 🧡. Science short and compilation sound great! Take care of you ! 😍🫡

Emil

You look sick, my friend.

mbuch68

Do not underestimate the benefits of rest. Take care of yourself. That goes for your whole team.

ed pluck

It is the struggle that makes us strong...

Stahr Freedle

You are obviously sick & in pain- take time and heal. You are loved.

Willymil Valentin Suarez

Get rest and feel better soon!

Jackson Cagle

Woo AJ! Much love bro!

Nick Dean

Seriously try out the turmeric and echinacea tea, it really works 🎉

Reprovis

Don’t you kink shame me

Lee and Julia

ChaosBubble

We love you! Take your time!

Brian P

Go rest buddy! Prayers for you!

Mark Berry

AJ, please take care of you and your family. You and the team are appreciated. Sadly I carry sinus infections around like luggage 🧳 so I know how much it sucks. Plus got a cracked tooth all of the way up to the nerve two years ago. You are right just pull it and be done with it. God Speed. P.S. Don’t let Hecklefish pull the tooth ;)

TC

Stop worrying about the schedule man. Take care of yourself. We will still be here for you. We will watch them whenever they air! Just be safe. Be kind and know that you actually are appreciated.
