I love that Goliath was wearing a 2000's Manchester United top

Michelle Kaylan

So wait - dinosaurs were gigantic because the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere was much higher, due to the massive jungles, etc, etc. If some kind of hominid - possibly one with scaly skin existed then. . .?

Aubrey Ruschmann

Great job. I truly enjoyed this one. Id be interested in hearing more about the nephlim.

NEAL HELFMAN

Excellent job AJ. Keep up the good work, you are an essential voice in this age of public ignorance.

Mike Laloë

Amazing content AJ - have been telling everyone about my new favourite YT channel. I would love an episode looking into whether or not we have had confirmed contact with real physical ETs (not just UAPs) Many whistleblowers with security clearance suggest we have. Thank you!

Joe

ENJOYING THE CONTENT. Another entertaining episode

Charles Caldwell

Please put together something for the annunaki. We should all know where we may have come from.

Tom Jones

Love the channel, thought the last couple of videos were boring. I feel like much of this content was covered in an earlier video, which had a lot of the same debunking information. Good commercial at the end. Getting bored with the videos, though. Hopefully, they return to being interesting.

Kelly

PS. He is normal sized, extra teeth removed in youth, a chef now. Makes ya think.

Kelly

I have a Native friend had a red headed son born with double rows of teeth. Born in 1998.

Denis Ovan

Great episode, one of my favorite topics!

Penny Brannon

I loved it! My husband and I heard about giants years ago. Thank you for covering that. It was fascinating. I have a question, though. You talked about Hecklefish plushie scammers. I think I might have fallen for that. What company is making Hecklefish? I bought him by going through your store. I just hope I did it right. Thank you. Love you guys!!

Deborah

We are all different, that's the beauty.

Paula Unger

I'm starting to rethink my Patreon... A few episodes ago you used Operation Mincemeat to infer it's the reason the CIA are devious gits. I could see your point, but it seemed a hell of a reach. And now this about Graham Hancock. You question the idea of it 'being allowed', but the show had to be commissioned and paid for - so yes, the concept of 'being allowed' seems justified. It's the Netflix subscribers' inflated fees which are paying for it - did they want it? They seem to be losing a lot of the things they do want just now, and ending up with questionable content they didn't ask for. But towards the end of the piece, the Guardian actually clarifies completely: the person responsible for commissioning this show is Hancock's son. Are you still so sure they were out of order in asking how it was 'allowed'? I note you don't present any evidence of Hapgood being dismissed as a crank, even if his critics might have liked to believe it. That section of your video was pure polemic, and I subbed to this channel because it presented interesting and unusual subjects in an objective manner which manages to be both scholarly and entertaining. I don't want polemic - I have my own opinions and a sufficiently high IQ to work out what I think about stuff without help. The video would have been fine without the rant about who society calls 'comspiracy theorists'. And it felt like a tangent. You don't address any possible reasons WHY this stuff might be suppressed. Why can the world cope with the idea of giant lizards but not with the idea of giant humans/giant great apes? The whole subject of narrative control could occupy several videos - it's a tricky subject, hugely relevant just now (though when wasn't it?) and something your demographic is likely to be fascinated with. As for 'alternative history' - I'm inclined to think that's an unhelpful term. Until recently, 'history from below' might have been called 'alternative'. If people assemble the facts and the records and present the evidence honestly and objectively, less well known sections of history will cease to be alternative. But not like this, where you're effectively agreeing that it is alternative and somehow separate from the mainstream.

Mary Jo Doering

this made me want to rewatch ancient apocolyps on netflix. He completly dismisses the whole giants theory. He also suggests that all the movement of structures were pointing toward sirius. But is it possible they were tracking nibiru? thats my new theory.

MommaT02

Yes! I’d like a episode on the Annunaki. Awesome episode. Thank you. 😊

Bradley Dishner

Been waiting to hear anunaki. I'm all in

Philip Booth

Another great episode! Loved the rant at the end. Objective and fact based as usual

Mtnlion667

I agree, but it's not only about them not being wrong. We're taught that this current evolution of intelligence is the first on this planet, and thus fragile. If we all knew of the many extinctions and the persistence of intelligent life on earth and beyond than we may not be so fearful of everything they want us to be.

Jonel

Brand new member. Love this channel! Hecklefish and AJ are my heroes.

Laurie D'Souza

Awesome show! Say Hi to Lord Hecklefish!

Nathan Jones

Hello all, new member here, but . Love this channel and all the subjects it touches! I will be offering some heathy skepticism into the mix as I have a science background, but I promise to be polite and courteous-ish. I've been into these subject for decades, and have quite a collection of esoteric books and grimoires etc as it all facinates me. I come from a weird-line and have mediums and spiruitualists in the family as well as archaeologists and immunologists... and yep, I know that all sounds made-up but is true. :)

Kevin Via

I believe that one day there will be a bale Channel of TWF. I mean think of all the great shows they could cover.

B. Roxy Rogers

Awesome, as always!! I can't wait to see how many people are on the premiere tonight <3

THE TROJANOWSKI FAMILY

I laughed so loud from this comment. Very relatable!

Brian Mcandrew

Fantastic topic and episode!!! Please do an episode on anunnaki and planet x!

Daniel Boucher

I am trying to work with this in the background. It's nearly impossible to stay focused, lol.

Daniel Nye

Also, Russell Brand and other shows keep bringing these topics up. I hope mainstream will one day return to the truth.

Daniel Nye

Great episode, I do truly believe in Nibiru. I also believe the smithsonian are holding valuable information and evidence.

Rishi

David Childress is one of the scientists on Ancient Aliens

megan close

THANK YOU AJ & Hecklefish! The divide between true scientific inquiry and blatant propaganda grows wider by the day, and your channel is among the scientific vanguard! I LOVE IT!!! And YES! a show on the Annunaki would be most welcome! BTW...; where exactly does the Smithsonian get off?!? And since when does ANYONE in the media get to question why any information is ALLOWED!??!! THIS is a scandal- worse than the burning of books during the Inquisition!

TomAi

Your videos’ length and quality are gonna make me have to up my subscription amount…think of my children, THINK OF MY CHILDREN!!!

Patch

You definitely need to do a episode on the Anunnaki and Planet X…

Doc Hollidxy

I found the Netflix documentary to be very intriguing and thought provoking and I went into it as a sceptic. I am sure some people dismiss the content on The Why Files without ever watching your entire episodes and it really is THEIR LOSS. You do a great job of explaining everything from all angles and give your own opinion and we are left to make our own conclusions. As it should be. Love the content!

Tonya Downing

So interesting!!

Cat Collins

Please do an episode on the Annunaki

Bosco Lemonzit

Why does every Thursday now feel like Superbowl Sunday and I'm craving a 12 hour pre game before tonite's show? I want Howie, Terry, and Jimmy breaking down last weeks performance, replays of every great Hecklefish moment, predictions of the outcome of tonite's show with Jimmy the Greek! (reached back in the time vault for that one!) Or, am I just the answer to the philosophical question: What would Charlie Brown look like at 65?

Steven Farris

Annunaki! Yes, please!

Michael Denton

We loved the episode…. Longer videos are the best!! The girls are diving into every topic you bring up.. exciting to see then research topics and then discuss then.. thanks!

Patriki

We 100% need the Annunaki video.

Todd Twilley

The stutter on the "I'm not saving..." is brilliant.

DonnieDarko27

The double row skull pictures from Lovelock can be found if you look

Christopher Lee Cox

LOL That's what I thought as well. I would have been a "giant" in the 1800s. I went to a museum in the Texas Panhandle a little bit back. They said average height of a man in the 1800s was 5'8". I am 6'0". I saw a building that was built then and I had to stoop a bit inside. Most ceilings were about 6'. LOL Life would suck for a tall guy back then.

Christopher Lee Cox

Bro, you absolutely nailed this! Great work! I can't wait for the next episode. Love what you guys do. Keep up the great work.

Karl poff

Great episode! Do you get tired of hearing that? But truly great work

Selene Waters

I loved this! and an Annunaki episode would be awesome :D

Elena Diamond

Yes please do an Annunaki episode!

Upside253

I love all of your episodes! Everytime I watch a new show. I often wonder if you ever have time to sleep or have some fun. I hope you do. Thank you for all the research you do so we brainiac’s can enjoy some intellectual 🧐 stimulation!

JE Morse

Really great episode. I would like to see an episode on the Annunaki, please!

Chris

Can you do a episode on national treasure

Sean Savacool

Yes to the video on the Annunaki, please

DonnieDarko27

Well we've had the DNA since 2012, so not a big mystery

David Parisi

Thank you, AJ, and your team, for another awesome episode!! Regardless, of who agrees or disagrees, people should be free to explore the topic, and to see and debate the evidence. Well done! PS: Yes to an Anunnaki episode too.

AJudd Gentile is me!!

. Lm

AJudd Gentile is me!!

Awesome & exòò⁹⁹is xcellent, always!! I'm so happy I subscribed via Patreon & can do a littleto showmy appreciation. AJ, you deserve to make a salary on level with the high level executives working at large & successful corporation'sbusiness4. Seriously!! Huh, Hecklefish?? Well, I think he'd make great catfish bait. Haha JK

Bosco Lemonzit

we're doomed

Moe

So very good. Well done.

Nation Family

Excellent episode, as usual! Well done AJ and team!

Matthew Mielke

Frickin' Smithsonian.

Jeff Wallace

A favorite quote of mine: The secret of freedom lies in educating people. Whereas the secret of tyranny lies in keeping them ignorant.

Joe P

Amazing job on this episode! Fascinating stuff. I wonder if people from the Smithsonian and NASA scientists get together to figure out new ways to lose stuff and/or hide/suppress information? That would be a great t shirt! Oh, and yes to an Anunnaki episode.

Whiskey Tango-Foxtrot

when I was a child, 40 long years ago, I visited DeSoto Caverns. On display, they had a giant human jawbone. An adult jawbone would fit comfortably within. It was projected it came from a person well over 7 feet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeSoto_Caverns

Nexor EH

The Annunaki and the theories of Zecharia Sitchin would be great topics for future videos.

Fizzgig

Yaaay! Another long video!😄 Do you really need to ask if we want a video on the Anunnaki? I believe the answer is a resounding YES PLEASE!!!😍

Gods Demon

ROFL "they must have been a union!" Such a true statement. Unions only move fast for breaks and quitting time.

Carl 🐉

Hey, one of my suggestions! =D

Kevin Via

It's not complicated. These people have spent a lifetime saying one thing. They will do anything to not be wrong. The CIA and College campuses are so intermingled it all starts thier. Agenda agenda agenda. It's not about the truth It's about them not being wrong.

Sarah Wedel

It’s only a conspiracy until the truth comes out

Dave Dolle

I would love an episode about the Anunnaki...and Brown's Gas...and Wilhelm Reich...

Benjamin Doyle

Fantastic episode, once again.

Brad Moran

I would be also asking why is the Smithsonian and it's allies in the media determined to smear the theory of giants, and of a pre-deluvian culture?

Trey M

When I swapped from paranormal research to checking out BF this is one of the most common things that people say that have seen them. They believe they are the same Giants “nephilim “ from the Bible or the red haired giants that were talked about in ancient native America tribes. Some believe they’re just Gigantopithecus but ones things for sure. People are still seeing giants to this day. Putting a name on it is hard but they’re there

Jared Dobson

Epic <3

Sibyle

I can't wait to see the shirt for this episode!

Bosco Lemonzit

I had this crazy idea, if I can get my name legally changed to Smithsonian Institution, I am pretty sure I would be untouchable by any law enforcement

Bosco Lemonzit

an infinite universe, no beginning, no ending sort of thing would violate Einsteins model, not sure about quantum, have to look that up and 14 hours later I did look it up and in a quantum universe, it can be infinity with no beginning or end

Bosco Lemonzit

oh yea, evolution is true, bible history is false. Any evidence that contradicts either is hidden, destroyed, etc

Insolentgenie

Interesting the natives would describe a hair color they should have never known about. I believe the elongated skulls of Paracas also had red hair and their skulls were larger. I'm not talking about human skulls that were shaped. I'm talking about the elongated skulls without a sagittal suture.

Ed E Buskirk

This video is going to be BIG

NM digger

Research 101: all governments and cultural controllers lie. About everything all the time. Once you're brainwashed, most believe the lies all their lives.

Vee

This was another great video! Thank you, it was extremely interesting. It was such a cool breakdown of events and findings... The Smithsonian has some explaining to do! lol. I would love to hear more about the Annunaki on another video, when you have the time. There is so much wonder that I have surrounding the possibility of other beings having roamed the earth.

John Edgeworth

2nd time watching. This was a lot of fun, every week just gets better and better... Um, where is my tin foil hat?

Nikki G_0

Excellent episode, AJ and team. I'd love an Annunaki video. There's so many interesting theories out there about our origins. They shouldn't be suppressed.

DonnaG

Annunaki and Nbiru episode please!!! I read Sitchen in my teens alongside Chariots of the Gods and I've wondered my whole life why it wasn't taught in schools or talked about at all. It's just in the last few years that I'm seeing more and more information about it. I would absolutely love an episode on Sitchen or Annunaki. Love this episode! Thank you so much!!!!

The Original Jay

I’d love a follow up annunaki vid

Kevin Via

I wonder if the Montana Megalithic structures have anything to do with any of this lore.

MikeD

Fun beginning, thoughtful ending. Perfect Why Files material and approach.

Mr. Chipppy

Annunaki video would be nice!

RunBikeMike

Great video. I was excited to hear about Steelville MO. I go to that area every year to race my mountain bike. I am only a few hours away in Republic MO. Anytime you bring up Missouri I am interested in the back stories.

wimmersworld

Annunaki please! ❤️

Armando Mistral

Just outstanding. AJ may well be the finest story- teller of our time (with a shout- out to Da 'Fish!). What's real and what's BS? I don't really care here, I just enjoy the tales with all the switch- backs to "is it true?". Maybe there were even tribes of super- tall people whose genes got dispersed into a larger native American population. Today they would just be NBA draft picks. Humans generate BS around the campfire, it's probably THE single thing making us human. To a 5-5 Paiuite man, Sun Mingming (7-9) could easily wind up being 12 feet tall by the time the tribe's bard got ahold of the story.

Mister Larson

Great episode about a topic that needed it!! Yes, please, Annunaki episode!!

Seymour Teagan

good to have a healthy curiosity

Seymour Teagan

great video

Seymour Teagan

literal black hole

Jon Mickels

Another fantastic episode! Definitely need a video on annunaki a long one..

Rich Mazza

Why does everyone send their finds to the Smithsonian? It is a black hole

Bosco Lemonzit

EVERYTHING they do is predicated on proving evolution to be true and the bible to be false. cannot allow either alternative. for example, ask an evolutionist and they will insist that all dinos, or is that dini, were wiped out around 65 million years ago, AJ even did a show on it, but then ask them how did the birds survive and please explain with scientific evidence how birds could have survived what killed dino. And they really can't. yet, they had to because they are suppose to have evolved from dino. Same with historical evidence, cannot allow a global flood or giants because it would verify parts of Genesis.

Bosco Lemonzit

yumm, ice cream.....

Kat Gamage

Excellent. Beautiful. And I begin to worry about your safety a bit…

Chip Snyder (chiphappened)

😂

Mark william lane

Annunaki yes , sounds suspiciously like Asakinazi to me. Oh well, live and learn

Melissa Taylor

Yes, video on the Annunaki please.

Nicolas Demoulin

Yes please, make a vid about the anunaki

Chip Snyder (chiphappened)

The Smithsonian has their own “Algorithms for History” #FearTheAlgorithms 🇺🇸☮️

Bosco Lemonzit

holy crap, this is a good one. rescheduling day, gonna watch this a few more times and take notes for research, good job AJ and gang. This all goes back to two things, protecting evolution at all costs and never allowing any evidence to back biblical accounts at all costs.

Charles Bonetti

That is my view, as someone who has studied the historical significance of Israel and the Bible and a Christian, I have seen them suppress as much of the Bible as they can. Now I don’t believe that we had 30 foot giants but I do hold that Goliath and Og of where about 7-8 feet tall, which would dwarf any Israelite of that day.

Charles Bonetti

I enjoyed this video! It is one that has always fascinated me about historical cover up’s. Great Show team!

Kazren

It's insulting to us who are open to new theories how they want to ban Hancock's work. Thank you for another interesting, intelligent episode. Love what you're doing and though I hold back totally believing in the Anunnaki theories, I'd love to see what you dig up.

Julia Fox

Fabulous as ever AJ , Hecklefish and Team!

Mellie

Super fascinating...so many unanswered questions. Before my mom passed away in 2015, she was borderline obsessed with finding info on the giants...I understand why now. Thank you for delving into this subject 👍

Liz C

"Most dangerous show on Netflix." From the people that produced freaking Dahmer, ffs.

Mark william lane

You just might want to consider who runs NASA since Ronald Reagan, Pentagon! I know people who worked there before and after Reagan shit hack and boy do they hate the military suppression.

Mitch Altogether

Yes, those articles should be allowed. Even if the other side sensors, we do not. Fun episode!

Steven F Lornitzo

I would love you to cover fallacies within the big bang theory. I think the story of how or why this cosmological system, which limits the age of the iniverse to 13.8 billion years, when philosphers priir to the big bang theory were ooen to an eternal and infinite universe. This is great, WF is a great team, it is beyond entertainment. Thank you all!!!

Mark william lane

Nice, but the fish is anti Union? Maybe a show on how unions got started and WHY FILES attitude is in order. In another point have you read Robert Sepehr, PHD Anthropologist from Oxfords work on ancient man? “Species with amnesia “ is one of the Doctors books and may I suggest you take a look if you haven’t already. His utube channel is Atlantean gardens and also worth a peek.

Shawn Grant

This was a good one. Got a bit of my Annunaki fix too!

Liz C

Giants eh? Wait till Wendigoon sees this...

Jeremy Shorter

I love how your human is holding your plushy at the end, but when it cuts to a mid-shot of you talking your plushy is still behind you…. Multiple takes w/ no script supervisor, I take it…? Also, as a Christian apologist, I firmly agree that there were giants (likely upward of 7-10 ft tall, possibly a little taller), and believe the Smithsonian is hiding the evidence because it proves Biblical truths, but I’ll understand if someone disagrees w/ me. 😁

W

ACTUALLY GREAT! Your making tv great again🤣

W

Thank you! Thank you for giving me something to look forward to each week...on my TV...😳!?!! Thought it was a mirage...but no it’s...

No Way Jose

Fantastic as always. Seems as if the government loves covering things up for “reasons”.

W

😂🤣

Jeff Pierce

What an Outstanding episode ! Anunnaki episode would be great !

Mike McLoud

A video on the Anunnaki would be awesome!!

John

An absolute masterpiece!

Chris Hutchinson

Would love to see you cover the pyramid of the sun in Bosnia.

John Hobart

Asking us if we want you to do a whole episode on the Annunaki is like Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson asking me if I would care to join them in a hot tub at the Red Roof Inn… Naked… With ice cream after Uhmm Yes… I’ll Take That please

Chris Hutchinson

Love your work so much, I'm shocked and astounded by how much of what we believe to be "fact" is based solely on ego.

John Hobart

SO WORTH IT. Homie fking nailed this one and torched the hog tits off the “establishment”… Which is SO my kind of thing. I fkn hate government and their lies and cover ups

Kevin Via

When are you going to Tackle the Orgins of The Hecklfish? Alien, Intelligent life of shoot on earth or artificially mutated gene editing by science in a lab at the end of WW2. Or other?also I thought all Indian tribes where peacful farmers until the Whitman taught them war🤔

John Hobart

Just freakin brilliant closing… Fantastic

Kevin Via

AJ for the Oscar!

Maff Bowers

Would definitely like to see an Annunaki episode!

John Hobart

Bro the end was just, it’s just worthy of a standing ovation. I absolutely fking love what you said about Graham Hancock and the morons that have tried to discredit him and just about censorship in general. And hell yes, that is a perfect idea…since the main stream garbage dumps can’t seem to ever puke out actual truth in reporting the freakin news… maybe they need to be censored and silenced. But how. MAN I love the finale…you got me all fired up now. I HATE THE ONES IN GOVERNMENT responsible for hiding everything from us…. Who the fk are THEY to go on ahead and determine who is worthy or not to simply KNOW facts about our history. Maybe they need to be removed from earth. We did NOT elect these shitballs to anything that gives them the authority to just flat out lie to us, lie about historical events…. Man I could go on and on about what an absolute waste of space our government is. I think you should dismantle NASA in a future video. Just light them on fire and expose all of the cover ups and lies they have been a part of since the conception of that sewer of an agency. Dammit I have to watch that last part again., Fkn LOVE that AJ went off on those puke bombs… And I think we are all going to have to pitch in some more $$$ for AJ n Crew to have sufficient 24/7/365 armed security now after this. I LOVE IT. Give ‘em hell brother. I’ll volunteer for shifts as a body guard…might have to monitor Victoria more tho 🤣

NikkiBubblesMom

I’d love to see more episodes dealing with these topics. Great job as always!!

John Hobart

I’m halfway through…if Andrew pulls that “but it’s not really true” crap at the end….I’m going to…well….I’ll….. Nothing. I’ll watch it again like always 🤣

John Hobart

Holy ball bags man HOW do you out do yourself every time .. you just continue to do a story more awesome than the next…with a collection of awesomeness.

Hugo Yamassaki

Hoooly. That was amazing! Thank you!!!

Omar

Yes, please!

Helle

Awesome episode, thank you!

Thomas Ford Hardin

Great job!

Timothy W

Amazing as always AJ & HF 👏👏👏

Deborah

Fantastic AJ , thank you 🙏 and your Team as well . Brilliant!! You just keep upping the anti !!

Margot Keast

Amazing interview I sure learnt something! Yes to any of Hecklefishs episode suggestions.

Phoenix595

There has to be something to it!

peter drysdale

It's funny how there can be all sorts of evidence of something happening, but they still want to claim it's a myth. A few years ago I saw something claiming that the flood isn't real because a lot of ancient cultures had a myth of a great flood. Isn't it more logical to believe that there was one since so many cultures tell of it? I'm still not totally convinced that giants are all a hoax. Great show as always.

thormusique

Wow, totally awesome episode, thanks! And anyway, who needs sleep? You guys are definitely on a roll. I continue to absolutely love these longer episodes; you really get into the weeds here. Cheers!

Scott Crawford

BTW, thank you for the surprise episode!

Scott Crawford

Sorry if this is an ignorant question but do you suppose this information is suppressed because it could confirm certain biblical accounts?

M M

Now we cooking on this videos

Jane Harper

Psychics from CalTech? Where’s CJ Cregg when we need her?

Chase Schleich

That notification drops and all of us Why Files addicts come crawling out of the woodwork no matter what time it is lol

John Doe

Oh my god I’m so glad I’m a patreon sub! Early access! This channel is my favorite and you deserve my money.

SGW4K

Cool. Looking forward to this!

Becky Ward

Right there with ya… I’ve gotta be up in 3.5 hours & it’s my 12 hour day 😒 But staying up for this episode is totally worth it 💯

Becky Ward

So excited for this episode!!

Chase Schleich

Yes! I gotta be up for work in 4 hours, but fuck it. I'm staying up for this.
