Interesting... And a bit disturbing.

This was the episode that pulled me in and made me create a patreon, Simone Simone lol! I couldn’t believe it. Thanks for all your great work!

Erica Entwistle

Would love an episode on Paul McCartney's "death". You brought up things I had never heard before!

C Boulet’

This was an incredible episode and we’ve suggested that our reporters start listening to the interviews they conduct a bit more critically er… backwards. Brilliant programming….

I’m a student of Reverse Speech and am studying with David Oates. Here’s a reversal of HECKLEFISH that I made this morning, it’s an unlisted link so only people in here can access it at the moment: Hecklefish from "The Why Files" https://youtu.be/Z9kxXmhPET0

I thought it was very interesting, especially the parts about JFK. I would love to see an entire episode on Paul's death as well

Vincent Anzelone

I always love AJ and this is 100% my favorite channel but the backwards talking stuff was just OK for me.

Ed Forrest

Not sure and even the AI interpretation of backwards is not convincing. Not one of the better episodes and not clearly proven...

Ed Forrest

Ya...AJ and the crew missed the mark on this one...

Keri Holmes Rojas

Voting "yes" for the "Paul is Dead" episode.

Andrew Key

Really not sure about this one

Myra Kness

This was another great episode. I remember playing the Beatles records backwards on my record player. I have now downloaded an app that plays audio backwards called reverse play. I will be having fun playing with it today.

Patch

This has blown my mind!

Adrian Kemp

I’d never heard of this theory, it’s pretty silly as you always just hear whatever is printed on the screen. That said though, you as always knocked it out of the park and it was an awesome vid

Carlos Lamas

Most of the time I did not look and only till I read did I hear it. Except Clinton I herd something ending in kill. Bob Lazar is the only one that was loud and clear. Clearly like forward play.

Great video as always, but... I know the main idea about the video is the political part, but as a music and Beatles fan, I wanted to correct the record at the beginning. Paul wasn't the one driving the car that crashed, it was Tara Browne. John actually said "Cranberry sauce" not "I burried Paul". John did what he wanted and instead of counting in A Day in the Life going, one.. two... three... four... one... two... three... four... he said, "Sugar plum fairy... sugar plum fairy". The bass on the front of Sgt. Pepper supposedly spelled Paul with four long flower stems for bass strings. Also, as mentioned, before Paul didn't wreck his car, but he did however cut his lip and chipped a tooth when he crashed a moped, which is supposedly why he grew his mustache around the Pepper era. There are actually black and white photos of him not long after the incident on the web. I would LOVE to see a Why Files video on the Beatles in any form - Paul's death conspiracy theories, back masking, George Martin as the true fifth Beatle (would the Beatles have been able to achieve what they did if Sir Martin had been there as he was, encoraging, honing, tutoring them in how to utilize the studio and indulging them to greater heights? There is also a short but facinating YouTube video of the supposed "The Real Paul McCartney with Beatles tourists" that can easily be found. In the same vein as the Paul is dead theory, A Day in the Life wasn't about Paul or Kennedy having his mind blown out in a car - the Kenedy angle is something relatively new to me and seems to be fairly obscure, but out there. Lastly... Just think about Hecklefish's options to cover a great Beatle's song or songs alone... Oh myyyyyy! Glass Onion style? Paul might have been the walrus, but, "I am the Hecklefish" might make a great shirt or mug 😁

He has learned the ancient art of story telling. Bait and hook, and has a fishy partner to boot,.

John Seychel

CONTINUED: Kennedy fell victim to spatial disorientation, after years of piloting back and forth for many many years. Even if he was drunk, he would've made it home.

This is another great story, even though I had knowledge of the sub conscience reverse thing. The entirety of Paul's death in backward speech in both middle school and high school, we all had opinions. My friend and I discovered that Paul wasn't replaceable, that was a subject no one thought of that we knew of. Like Prince, who did pass away, Paul's father was a musician also, his father Jim McCartney, also a multi instrument player too. So like Prince Paul had the impression of music and his father's guidance all his childhood, they even had a piano. OK in high school with the science teacher, my forum discussed the idea of just finding someone who had the same expressions, and voice and intelligence of music theory. We decided that in order to find a Paul Replacement, it would have to be a clone. The existing Paul, has memories of everything Paul did since he was a child. The possibility of Paul being replaced was just impossible. Could it all have just been camera play? NO, the replacement Paul would have had to fulfill each and every concert, media events and so on. So if Paul died in a secret room or what ever the crazy idea was, it wasn't worth hiding his death anyway. When John Lennon was killed, just about the entire globe went into morning over it. Many of us just couldn't fathom he was actually dead. Why wasn't John's death hidden, and he replaced? George died, no hiding his death, bla bla bla. So was the hidden messages on Beetles albums secret message placed purposely for the purpose for pumping up record sales, could be, but the news back then that they were even more famous then Jesus ever was, shook the christian world. A band so famous, they beat god's fame, LOL. That was a special time to be alive, and the same happened with Micheal Jackson years later. Why assassinate JFK, why not replace him too? JFK's son searched for answers for year's also, and was positive the shooter was George Bush senior. They say that his plane still had plenty of fuel in it. I believe his death was blamed on a broken panel, but he was an ace pilot, and flew back and forth from Manhattan to Martha's Vineyard, regularly, so he didn't need his panel, he knew just by memory alone.

Great episode

Noah Laughton

Imma upgrade my Patreon tomorrow!!! AJ you and crew just keep getting better and better with each episode and all your hard work should earn an award.

Kazren

Great show, I love the way you reel the story out.

Charles Caldwell

Such a fantastic episode! Thank you

William Kennison

Another reason to say what you mean and mean what you say.

William Matthews

Great video, loved it! I remember looking at this topic years ago, and the conclusion I was brought to was the human mouth is limited to a relatively small number of sounds it's technically capable of making. Plus, the human brain is highly tuned to pattern finding, glueing the two together and voila, the audio equivalent of faces in cloud formations?

Brenda Rush

Great topic as always. Like that this one wasn't totally debunked. I was pretty creeped out the same time HF was.

thormusique

A very fun episode, cheers! !etinU stsihcranA :-)

Dave Scott

So these things we're hearing, are of the recordings being played backwards?

Jessica Waters

Yes please on the Paul is dead. I remember that hysteria perfectly.

John Hobart

This is the ONLY channel I’ve ever made it a point to become a Patreon member of. I’m one crabby ass old bastard now (50) and everything pisses me off, except for the Why Files…just fkn fantastic man.

Thomas Ford Hardin

I played this episode backwords, and Hecklefish was calling you a turd.

Mark william lane

Makes ass backwards sound good. Lol

Lawrence Berge

Let us not forget the 'The Infinite Monkey Theorem' which is a proposition that an unlimited number of monkeys, given typewriters and sufficient time, will eventually produce a particular text, such as Hamlet or even the complete works of Shakespeare. One thing that nags at me is the question of exactly how much taped conversation is being left on the cutting room floor? It seems as though these reverse snippets are heavily cherry picked, and possibly edited to achieve the result required. Not much of what was disclosed seems very scientific to my layman's ears. (Most of the first sentence was cut and pasted from a Google search, to be clear. Probably a direct quote from a scientist,)

Seriously though, you should make a few copies of every research that you do and disperse them just to be on the safe side; 🛅.

Dorian Terry

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 this episode was amazing sheesh fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Seth Forrestier

That was probably the best one yet. Loved every minute of it. And cheers to anarchy.

Ben Dubaye(dewbay)

I have known 78rpm records, 33 1/3 rpm records and 45 rpm; then, 8 track cassette, 4 track cassette(Walkman), digital tape cassettes and I’m still young at heart!!!

Lawrence Berge

I loved this episode - entertaining, as always but...

Jeff Pierce

What A Cool Episode !!! Great Job as always !

robert geoffroy

Awesome show as always you guys rock lizard people forever

Dalton Bilsky

Thanks for making me feel old with the Walkman and cassette comments 😂 Personally I don't believe in a lot of the reverse speech, I think it is just people finding something like seeing images in clouds. But looking forward to watching the video and seeing your take on it.

Chip Snyder (chiphappened)

My Teachers always said “I was a little backwards” Does this sadly prove them right?? GR8 Show 🙏🏻

Kim Feeney

Im psyched for this one!!

Chip Snyder (chiphappened)

Thank You AJ!!

kelsey
