Patron-Only Livestream!
🕑 Added 2022-10-16 15:50:26 +0000 UTCI know I owe you a livestream. Sorry about that. Things are hectic. I am going to start posting "vlog" type videos here and on TWF Backstage for people who are interested in what's going on behind the scenes as we try to make something of this crazy channel.
Also, if you saw the first two After Files streams, you saw what "figuring it out as I go along" looks like. (Apparently it makes your skin BLUE)
If you have any special requests for what you'd like to see in the livestream, or if you have specific questions you'd like answered, kindly put them here.
When I go live, I'll refer to this thread and try to get through everyone's requests.
Anything at all. If it is within my power, you may have it.
You are appreciated,
--AJ
PS-- I'm going to try to turn off Super Chats and Super Stickers. But in case they're on: *don't donate more money during the stream*! (I'm looking at YOU Ed Pluck!)

What I would like to see you investigate is who killed Dr Molly Macauley? She was an American scientist who's work focused on satellites. The year was 2016 and Molly had just told colleagues she had found unusual evidence that our own government was altering our elections by using satellites. Soon after Molly was murdered while walking her dogs. The motive wasn't robbery and her killer has never been found. The accepted rumor is our own intelligence agencies committed her murder and those involved were forced to alter how they manipulated election votes. They couldn't use the satellites as usual because Molly had reported her findings. They bungled that election d/t time constraints and President Trump beat Hillary Clinton.

i would love a couple and an autographed pic as well!!
Crazy World
I work at DIA so… can’t wait to see that one. Also have you ever thought of doing a video with some of the whacky science theories out there like Last Thursdayism and a few other fun ones? Should get some people thinking and Hecklefish would love it lol
Noah Laughton
I’ve been saying the exact same thing!!! I don’t want BTS on our favorite, lovable talking fish!
Noah Laughton
Hecklefish should remain an enigma to himself.
Ten Toes Gaming
Uh...are you talking about the national/global economic security and recovery act(s)? Or are you talking about the religious stuff on youtube?
Ten Toes Gaming
🤔 I'm bored 🤷♂️ I'm gonna check it out because I've never heard of it 🤣
Melissa Fine
A conspiracy I'd love you to dig into, if only to debunk it once and for all: The whole "Nesara/Gesara" thing. How did it gain traction, what are the true bits, and what is total nonsense?
Melissa Fine
Don't sweat the blue stuff. You don't gotta be perfect to be cool.
Cat Dean
How did you get into this line of work? Tell us the origin of the Why Files.
Elak Swindell
Riiiiight. My question still stands. I'd like to see how AJ does the animation for the fish.
Patch
What do you mean “How you do Hecklefish?” He’s his own fish, heck he’s been divorced 3 times, so he is definitely real lol
Ten Toes Gaming
No worries on the live stream. And on the superchats, I dont think you can turn them off but another youtuber I watch has found a way to set up his merchandise website to have "merch messages" with each purchase and he has someone off camera procure them while he's live so that people actually get something for their money other than just q&a interactions and it helps keep youtubes greedy hands out of things. Not sure how it's done but it would help you and us out in the long run when we wanna send money to ask questions during live streams.

Ronald Reagan had two ufo sightings, one while in his Governor of California jet. He even alluded to aliens in a U.N. Speech
The Why Files
As soon as I schedule it, I'll post it for ya
Mark william lane
No link to your live stream?
Victoria
AJ … there are already questions/requests on the other post about this too! ;)
MikeD
I agree on the ample notice part, or simply schedule it for a set time, if possible. For example, I know WF's releases videos Thursday morning, so I know to check in on Wednesday evening if I want to catch the "pre-release" and to stop in for the Thursday morning premieres so I can comment, up vote, etc. to help the channel. Beyond that, a small farm and plenty of time for poker sounds like an enjoyable retirement!
Danika
The dancing...omg, too fun! More please!
Moonstruck Exploring
More Hecklefish stickers please. Thank you.
Chris Godfrey
Be safe, be loved. and know you’re appreciated. From the U.K. Oh, and how about President Jimmy Carter’s UFO sighting?
Susan Llewellyn
There was a story that Teddy Roosevelt encountered a Sasquatch and wrote about it. It would be interesting to hear about that.
Daniel Gall
I enjoyed the blue tint and the swirly shirt! 3 months ago Zach Feedman/Voidstar Lab built a heckling sidekick using AI and servos called "My Robot Intern". When I was done mopping the laugh tears away, I thought of you and your sidekick. I'd love to see a comedy video of you two going at it. The lawyer jokes were fantastic!
Patch
I would like to know how many there is in The WhyFiles team, who does what? Maybe see some of the faces of the people behind the scenes?
Eric B Wolman
That would be a great "bite" - I would on catch and release, though. Too small for dinner 😉
Karen Bailey
Yes, so would I. Hecklefish is very funny.
Elak Swindell
I'd like to see a segment on how you do Hecklefish.
Steve Garner
Ample notice maybe 24 hours? Would be wonderful. And possibly a later time in the day. As I person who is lucky enough to be employed, it’s hard to get in the livestream and provide excellent service.
Adrian Kemp
I'll second sharing a bit of your backstory! Also AJ If you need some help with livestream stuff I'd be happy to try to assist. I'm very well versed in streaming broadcast, though remote assistance is always tricky. That said, don't sweat the minor issues. A blue tint here or there isn't likely to drive anyone away!
Kevin Via
Awesome, the only request I have is ample notice. I'd love to participate, but even though I'm retired I have a small farm and play a lot of poker, so.id like the time to clear the schedule. Thanks as always, loved the short. I've always loved that story, it rang true when I first read.it years ago, if memory serves correct he didnt just say the color of the planes he went into great detail....I've been a time traveler for almost 55 years now, but so far I've only figured out how to go into the future second at a time...

Also, any chance on an episode about ancient megaliths? There’s some that look like they’ve been constructed using modern tools (great pyramids, puma punku, ishi-no-hoden, etc.) and some in India, Indonesia and China that are ancient, yet so intricate that even with modern tooling would be almost impossible to manufacture. India has several giant constructions that do not use any sort of binding material to maintain the structure, but rather the whole structure was built with these incredible interlocking pieces.
The Why Files
He might make a special appearance. :)
The Why Files
Can definitely do this!

You don't have to apologize for not being able to control life. Things happen. Quality takes time, I understand. Don't stress on it, life's are not at stake. Have an awesome day AJ.
Edward Lopez
Hey AJ! Could you give us a little of your back story? What inspired you to do the why files? What us your background in media? What does your production team look like? What is your favorite kind of conspiracy (aliens, cryptids, secret government, etc.)? What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Does heckle fish have an origin story? Do they have a full name? Any chance on a heckle fish plush in time for Christmas?
Eric B Wolman
I know Hecklefish is napping after the show, but I would love it if he could shout me out (or a joke about me in general). Just an ask but if difficult to do or not your thing, then skip it! Love you guys! Eric B Wolman
