AJ, I found you a little over a year ago and I’m SO glad I did. In my 68 years, you are hands down, the best storyteller I’ve ever heard. It’s a true talent, just like an artist, musician or actor. You put in a ton of work with each episode, and your grasp of the often times complex facts,are truly I impressive. Thank you sir for your talent, hard work, commitment to your craft and for the ENTERTAINMENT. Wish you and your family the best things in life.
I am a hardcore UA-camr and The Why Files puts together the most entertaining and informing videos on this platform. You are a solid researcher, producer, and entertainer. Plus the topics you cover are what im always searching for. Keep up the great work!! You deserve the best 👍🏼
@@DavidYoel13😂 comments always reveal how weird people are, I just saw a 3 paragraph long comment apologizing to him for his "workload", as if he's forced to do this & not making $ 🙄
These videos are fantastic while at work. I work alone doing lawncare and landscaping and it's nice to just turn on one of these compilations and have it last me most of the day. Glad you blew up. A channel truly deserving of its growth
I hear you. One ear listening to Why Files, or old O and A shows, with the other ear on the world around me. It helps allot, creates a kind of equilibrium, even when dripping sweat, poncho in a storm or calm cool work-a-days, or indoors tasks, these shows really help.
I like the compilations more than just watching a bunch of the old videos because these are all "themed" so they're easy to get through. Thank you, Why Files Crew! :)
And... There are some I missed first time round. This is great. How did I miss this one? I thought I went down the rabbit hole and hit every episode. Apparently not...
This channel is the absolute best. I stumbled upon the why files about 2 months ago, and i believe i have binged your entire playlist, multiple times. Id rather listen to your stories over and over, then about anything else. I listen to you everyday at work, and at home. Completely captivating, and so well put together, from your tin foiled hat wearing hecklefish, ( whose perspectives and comedy are priceless,) to the theme song during the credits, i sing along, and that my wife joins me, and has become quite a follower as well. Keep supplying us with fantastic content, we will never stop following. We visit the Merch shop frequently, and we Rep THE WHY FILES. Love the compilations as much as the individual broadcasts. U guys are STARS!
I’m a new viewer of about a month. My one son (a twin) suggested your channel. He told me it was a conspiracy theory channel and I said, “not interested”. He explained it was different and sent me a link. Out of respect for my son, I watched….and became addicted immediately. Another son (the other twin) told me a couple of weeks later, when I told him I was binging on your channel, that he loves the channel and is a patreon member. He hates the compilations, he’s seen them all. I LOVE them! Helps me catch up on the most fascinating ones 😊
Conspiracy theory channel's are great when they do what AJ does. His show is similar to an old one called Believe it or Not in that he tells the story and then goes through debunking what he can. And that he always has something he can't is always great
I love his style. My husband claims he can't stand Heckelfish, but I see him laughing at the funny little jabs. I especially love the end where he goes into the "is it real?". I appreciate having both sides of an argument. I also find myself going back to old episodes and I always find things I missed the first time around. My two favorite episodes are "Mel's hole" and "Shadow People". Intriguing and creepy!
This channel is my favorite UA-cam channel. I'm not going anywhere. I don't care if you took a 1 year break. I'm here for life baby! I've watched so many shows in my 34 years of life and this is my favorite by far! Love you AJ, Hecklefish and The Why Files Team (Production and everyone behind the channel) and The Why Files Family (all the subscribers who've made this possible) All of you are amazing and I hope but nothing for the best for all of you!
@@Supxrcharged I watch all the commercials and don’t press skip as a way to support the show. Everyone else should as well if you’re not a paid member.
I wouldn't stress man. This is the exact reason TV shows have seasons. There needs to be a break sometime. I think most of us are happy with any and all content. Even though I may have watched everything already I still watch the compilations. Listening to similar and possibly connected stories all together brings a different view on them. Thank you for the content.
@TechnoMinarchistBall yeah man, fuck the algorithm. I easily spent years looking up every instance the whyfiles covers, and never once did I get a recommendation, I had to search them out after reading a comment saying something about the whyfiles and now it's easily my favorite thing on UA-cam
Apparently I am only allowed to reply and not to comment myself. No idea why. But what I wanted to say is that I love all your content, and I love these long videos. I don't mind hearing you telling things twice 😉
NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER.... EVER apologize! You have given so much goodness to so many, and I, for one, will always be grateful... also, I love these compilation videos 💚
Just the fact that he keeps us informed is huge. Most creators wouldn't even take a couple minutes to say they are running behind. WF goes above and beyond and gives us compilations to tide us over. When I watch the compilations, it's usually only the second time watching each of the stories so I welcome them. One view isn't enough for me to h really soak up the info. Super grateful for these and they let me know that they are taking their time to get the next vid perfect. I usually know all the stories before WF talks about them but they make them seem new to me. The production and personalities are top notch
@@user-kq6ju6hc1w So why are you here? You're not "we" Or "us" But you take the time to go through comments and say "that?" Just like I did, with "this."
Just came across the Why Files channel. Absolutely love this channel AJ and his team do a great job and Ive binged watch every episode. Definitely got a fan for life in me. Thank you for the great content
AJ and team, im a father of 3 in my 30s and am so greatful for your content, my pick for movie night is ALWAYS The Why Files, me and the kids love it, the mrs rolls her eyes sometimes but its better than anything else out there and she knows it ;) admitting your significant other picked a good watch is a bit of a thing in my tribe
HAHAHA!!!sucker!!!….(jk dude I have 5 of em dude.i feel you 💯 percent.this show is a small comfort in a world filled with dirty diapers,bitching wife’s,and empty wallets.its awesome to know people like a.j still exist.and actually strive to stay in tune with their fan base.not to mention its the best channel on UA-cam
as someone who only started watching WF about a year or so ago - these compilations are amazing in catching me up on past videos i've missed. some real gems back during the pandemic era 🤣
Your team is really good. Well done!! You are very good at teaching, explaining, there are times I feel like you transport me to the places you talk about. Your attention to details often overlooked by others is what brings me back time and time again. Thank you for being you. I am proud of you.
I really appreciate you still taking the time to put fun content in the middle of the compilation episodes despite being so busy. You could just throw a compilation together and we'd still be just as grateful without any of the additional commentary. Hope you're taking care of yourself and thank you for being so loyal and dedicated to this community 💙
He didn't take a break, it's his job. He's a content creator. He didn't take time from creating content to create more content. he's busy doing exactly what he's doing by making filler sections for these compilation videos. Respect this mans hustle 💪
Honestly these compilations are great for having in my headphones while i work. Its even better than making a Playlist because you put content in between. Thanks AJ
Jay, you're the only channel approaching those topics with a sane, level-headed yet entertaining approach. The least we could do is being equally sane with you : take your time for whatever you're doing. It's important you still enjoy your time doing it and if it takes a few compilation videos to prevent a burnout it's WORTH IT. You guys are the best, don't be afraid to just be yourselves.
The vignettes in between each episode make them feel fresh. I have watched all these episodes but this new commentary on each of them makes me very comfortable. This is a solid format, brother.
I love these compilation videos. I fall asleep to them. The best part is I have really cool dreams!Thanks for all you do AJ and crew. You too Hecklefish🐠
Yep, I have really bad PTSD and I put the compilation Playlist on so that I can avoid certain nightmares. Somehow I always wind up on time travel 😂 it's so much better than the alternative.
I think that these compilation vids are great. I like watching the normal vids too. Living in the UK, I usually get to watch them on a Friday night, or into the early hours of Saturday morning. This is the one channel I look forward to watching every weekend. Thank You A. J. and Hecklefish.
Hi AJ and Hecklfish! Just wanted to let you know that these videos are helping me through a really rough time right now. I’m so grateful for this channel. Whether it’s a regular video or compilation video, it’s keeping me sane. Thank you ❤
We are never alone and are connected to everyone and everything, yet we never really see it or feel it I'm getting a feeling that amazing things are coming for you in the near future- the best is yet to come Lily. May you be blessed and fulfilled.
I relate. For me, it's a humorously engaging possibility. Reality can be disappointing. You let us play with imagination. Thank you AJ for reminding me there are things worth exploring in our world. You play with possibilities and bring us back to reality.
Bro, there’s no need to ever apologize. Everyone should be thankful that you put these compilations together. Live your life do your thing, we’ll be here when you get back.
Honestly I really love the compilations… it plays like a podcast and I get to stay on theme instead of jumping around. Also, I LOVE the ancient and historical stuff, please do more!! Can you tell some ancient heist stories?
I’m amazed at how ungrateful some people are. I mean, it takes an enormous amount of time and effort doing these and we get to watch them for free so just be appreciative, support and be understanding for these content creators. They too have lives outside of YT. Thank you, AJ and HF for all you do for us ❤️
Don't go apologizing for compilations, brother! You give us these incredible videos for free. You don't owe us anything. We love that you keep giving us content, but true fans want you and the team to prioritize yourselves! Take all the time you need.
I make insanely smelly bowel movements. So what's your take on that? Come on, for real, just what is your response to that? Also, my mom's farts taste good. Is that strange to you or is it pretty normal stuff?
Showing LOVE for my absolute FAVORITE channel period thank you everyone at The Why Files for the hard work and research you put into each and every video thank you everyone. Have a blessed day and weekend everyone.
No need to apologize for throwing a compilation out there once in a while. Especially when its in order to free up time to make good quality future episodes. I honestly dont know how you guys do an episode a week that is not short by any means, and also manage to pack in as much useful content as possible keeping the viewers engaged the entire time. Its not easy to put together a good quality show thats actually worth watching, I'm sure at least most of us understand that much. I would watch if it were a bi-weekly, or even monthly show, but weekly is a huge bonus so if theres got to be a week here and there where we get a compilation so that more focus can be put onto future episodes and getting information gathered to complete those, or whatever else needs catching up with to keep things running snoothly, I just look at it like a recap of what we've covered already. Its actually cool because seeing all the different pieces of information presented at the same time almost always ends up with me seeing something I didnt catch before, or maybe makes me think a little differently about something. The good thing about a show like this is that your audience isnt a bunch of mindless idiots, so chances are youll never have to worry much about upsetting anyone over something so petty, I would certainly hope not anyways. Thanks for the comp. I like to listen to these while I work sometimes.
We're essentially getting a quality, informational documentary every week. I don't think anyone here would be upset if it got backed down to 1-2 a month. No need to apologize for an amazing show. Thanks for the hard work!!!
There is no channel I watch more than WF. I develop software for a living, which means I spend many hours listening to youtube channels. Your channel, is the one I love the most, I have watched/listened to your videos repeatedly. You do what you must AJ, take time off, live how you want. Just keep them videos coming. Yes, even compilations. I re-listen to your videos anyway. Compilations just rock, too. Thank you. No really, thank you.
Hecklefish's on-time prompts are hilarious... and authoritative. The past forever reshapes itself. AJ, don't apologise for anything. We love you and know how valuable your channel is.
I should say this on a more recent video , I mean if you don’t see the comment doesn’t matter tbh , but I just want to say that you have such a great way of “story telling” and you’re so easy to listen to , I very much appreciate your cotent as a curious guy who has a very hard time committing to reading , but you peak my curiosity so much more makes me actually want to get into reading and researching , open up my mind more , maybe I over sharing but anyways thank you for that , you’re amazing man.
I love these compilations. I put them on when I go to bed. It’s my new Unsolved Mysteries. I already watched all of the UM episodes several times over.
In all my years on UA-cam(I am 36 when this video was uploaded, for future reference) I have NEVER seen a channel as entertaining as this one(at least for my interests). Thank you. I was reading about aliens when I was in university, that is when I became fascinated with them. Today, watching your previous videos, I learned that the Tall Whites use the triangular space ships, as far as I know the grays use the disk shaped. And here is a story from my personal experience. Once, when I was very young, me and my mother were going from Pleven to Sofia, Bulgaria to greet my father, who was coming back from conference(I forgot where), to meet him at the airport. We had a red BMW E30 at the time and the plan is to go to Sofia for fun and come back with the car. On the way there, on the bus, RIGHT after Zlatna Panega, me and my mom(as well as some other people on the bus) saw the cigar/cylinder shaped UFO. No, it was not a helicopter, nor an airplane, it was a UFO. And it was day, I could clearly see it. I kid you not, after I grew up and, Internet became more of "a thing" and I started reading about aliens. I saw a picture of it on the Internet(as mentioned, I think it was in my university years). I saw a picture of THE EXACT same object...... imagine my excitement! I think that, from what I've read, it is a carrier of other, disk shaped UFOs, stacked on top of each other(if I remember correctly). Now, MANY years later, every time (sometimes twice a week), when I drive past Zlatna Panega, I look up with the hopes of seeing "something". Again, this is not made up. I can't prove it to ANY of you, but that was my experience back then. The coordinates on Google Maps are: 43.07823462455098, 24.152040108159603. Also search for information about Vera Kochovska. From what I remember my parents were close with her. I've met her a few times, mainly for treatment. Amazing woman. You felt safe around her and instantly felt her abilities. I won't say anything else on that topic, since I don't feel like I should, can't describe it. Note: If I remember something else I will add it later to the comment.
Bulagaria’s known to be a high-energy site and many people have experienced UFO sightings there among other unexplainable things. I don’t doubt the validity of your story at all.
@@2ndLife2025 I think I heard that somewhere, yes. Thank you. Sometimes I ask myself if this really was the case and if I made it up, but no, it was real. I also want to go to check out the Tsarichina hole. Someday I will!
Discovered this channel literally 2 months ago. Idk how I never heard of it sooner but it filled a void that was missing in my life in terms of these types of stories. I'm such a nerd for this type of content, but all the other videos or podcasts I've listened to seem to either wanna jam their own opinion down my throat or they just come across as extremely dismissive of certain topics without elaboration (like they're mocking it). Much love and respect for AJ and the crew (including HeckleFish) for keeping an open mind about any and all topics that are discussed. Very respectful and classy to engage the viewers in that way. Much love to the Why Files crew and hope to get many more episodes. I will be impatiently waiting ❤❤
0:15 AJ, Hecklefish, WF Team, no need to apologize for a compilation. It saves me from having to go through playlists, or follow rabbit holes. I love it!! Gerdy I’m sure loves it haha! But seriously guys, since day one, WF is my favorite show. Thanks for all you do.
A walk in time is how this feels to me. With great illustrations. You give the pros and cons in and outs,possible scenarios and debunk myths. And you also leave room for us to make our own decisions and use our imaginations which is awesome. And with all of these many aspects there is no doubt how much work and research is involved to put something together. And that's just the story line. Then you have to put everything together for the videos which are evolving from a band to a symphony. Well done! Enjoy your life. I am looking forward to whatever develops even if it remains at this high caliber of production. Erock,Tulsa
As others have said: I fall asleep to these compilation videos. AJ...it means we find your voice soothing! They are something we have already watched...theres COMFORT in the KNOWN.
AJ, everyone needs a break. If anything, we appreciate that you have not quit. This is probably the least biast and most wholesome channel on UA-cam. I am just grateful that you share and work so hard to bring the world this content.
I admit I go to sleep nightly to these even though I’ve seen them all! the compilations are just as good, just keep the videos coming and we’ll watch them!
I'm relatively certain that you have found your calling in life my friend. You tell these well researched and edited stories in a manner that has everyone wanting more. You put everything into each and every tale from beginning to end. That's the earmark of a true professional. I always enjoy the spin and the facts you bring with every story. The best part is your own style and talent is locked up tight in every single episode so young and old alike will always have a chance to sit down and be thoroughly entertained by AJ GENTILE on THE WHY FILES.
The Grand Canyon episode was the first Why Files episode I watched and it had me hooked. After that I’ve went down the rabbit hole and watched every episode. Rewatching some of the old live streams now. Love you guys and the channel.
AJ, I fully appreciate the care and intent you the team put into these videos. I am Annishanaabe (Ojibwe from Northern Mn) and love to hear when you talk about our and other first nation creation stories. Mino-bimaadiziwin, niijii (Live the good life, friend)
Why Files is a minimum, minimum, 10,000 times better and more watchable than current TV. Engaging, thought provoking, interesting, targeting IQs higher than the lowest common denominator, educational; the list of positive adjectives goes on and on. AJ and the team are well on their way of becoming legends. Best channel on UA-cam for sure.
Miigwetch Thank You AJ , Heckles & team. Heavy stuff, just b4 her 16th bday, my oldest grandgirl took her life under pressure of bullying. I'm in mi they are in MN. It would make folks there uncomfortable, so wasn't allowed to go. Thank you for this compilation right now. It distracted me & I'm grateful. Love you guys
AJ, I watch a lot of channels on UA-cam, but The Why Files has consistently been my favorite. The various topics are fun and thought provoking. It’s obvious to me that you are the reason for the success. I understand your need to step away and refocus. I understand that on a personal level. I will be here when you’re ready. Best wishes ❤
Shout out to our humble AJ, another huge shout out to the folks on the team,behind the scenes slipping this well oiled machine into gear and putting out what I think is the best content on the tube. Keep it coming. Thank y’all for keeping me sharp.
I love this guys expansive knowledge of history, and how in depth he can go with the most notoriously mysterious legends of the past. Asking the questions that need to be asked, highlighting important details, and being honest about hoaxes and false testimonials. He knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat, like a true story teller, cleverly adding light sarcasm here and there, poking fun at the most outlandish conspiracies; but at the same time reminding us to not believe everything that is being told to us and to remain doubtful especially when is comes to the people in charge. But what sets him apart is he does this all while staying within the bounderies of sciencific fact and hard truths. Your great at what you do, AJ. thank you for bringing us true entertainment. 🏅🍿👌
We know you gotta post often to keep the revenue coming in brother. We appreciate the compilations and reruns. You could even re-do old episodes with NEW sponsors and we eat it up because we love your content and how you deliver it! Your humility is appreciated and inspiring! Thank you AJ! And Hecklefish of course 😉! -AK
I came to the comment section probably for the same reason why I'm seeing so much hate. This channel is my favourite channel on UA-cam, and I only stumbled upon AJ and the Why Files about a year and a bit ago. I get dissappointed when there isn't a new episode. The people that complain about comps, are probably doing so because they look that much forward to new episodes every week. AJ, the quality and detail you put into your content is phenomenal. I also come from pro broadcasting and can tell the special care you've taken in all aspects to produce such a great product. You're getting hate because you're so great, keep up the good work and I'll keep looking forward every week for my next WF fix.
Your channel ROCKS! And no, we are not going anywhere. Even compilation videos are good. I really appreciate all of the work u put in. Will be joining as soon as I can get my heath problems under control and I can go back to work i will be joining them. Unfortunately I can't right now. I sincerely apologize for not becoming a member. Have amazing day .
I’ve watched all of these episodes multiple times and still watched every minute of this video. Best channel on UA-cam. I’d like to see AJ do this same thing on true crime cases and unsolved mysteries, that would be dope.
Your channel is so awesome that a three hour compilation still leaves me wanting more, and I’ve already seen all of them, and just watch them all again in order and still want more. You guys have the literal perfect channel going without a doubt. And congratulations on getting on prime, hopefully they pay you for that, I’m sure they do, but I haven’t seen any other UA-cam channel on prime, so that tells you right there who’s show is the best!
I had managed to avoid this entire website...until now. Facebook wasn't showing you often enough so I enabled UA-cam on my devices JUST for The Why Files. I watch it every night now and let your playlists play while I sleep. I'm a rewatcher like I still watch the same 80s and 90s shows and listen to the same 90s music and never get bored. Now I've added TWF to my repertoire...and I don't really add things to my repertoire. Thanks, AJ [and Hecklefish]!
I actually like the completion videos, it ties everything together. Also I see how the show progresses. Don’t stress doing these, it gives you a well deserved break to get your creative energy. So win win
No need to apologize. I love the compilations! I keep them on in the background because I nerd out on a topic and I don't have to keep looking for new videos. You provide hours of lazy listening :)
Dude, your compilation clips have just started showing up I my feed, and I love them, these are great for my hour + drive to work, set it up before I leave, screen off and sound on car speakers, job done.. Keep them coming.

I did learn from this compilation. Thanks AJ and Heckle 😊
I’m a new viewer of about a month. My one son (a twin) suggested your channel. He told me it was a conspiracy theory channel and I said, “not interested”. He explained it was different and sent me a link. Out of respect for my son, I watched….and became addicted immediately. Another son (the other twin) told me a couple of weeks later, when I told him I was binging on your channel, that he loves the channel and is a patreon member.
He hates the compilations, he’s seen them all. I LOVE them! Helps me catch up on the most fascinating ones 😊
Conspiracy theory channel's are great when they do what AJ does. His show is similar to an old one called Believe it or Not in that he tells the story and then goes through debunking what he can.
And that he always has something he can't is always great
I love his style. My husband claims he can't stand Heckelfish, but I see him laughing at the funny little jabs. I especially love the end where he goes into the "is it real?". I appreciate having both sides of an argument. I also find myself going back to old episodes and I always find things I missed the first time around. My two favorite episodes are "Mel's hole" and "Shadow People". Intriguing and creepy!
I have seen most of the videos at least twice and still love the comp videos.
Welcome
Jedi mind trick repels interest in any cave
This channel is my favorite UA-cam channel. I'm not going anywhere. I don't care if you took a 1 year break. I'm here for life baby! I've watched so many shows in my 34 years of life and this is my favorite by far! Love you AJ, Hecklefish and The Why Files Team (Production and everyone behind the channel) and The Why Files Family (all the subscribers who've made this possible) All of you are amazing and I hope but nothing for the best for all of you!
Same to you friend!! Light and love to all! 😊
@@Supxrcharged I watch all the commercials and don’t press skip as a way to support the show. Everyone else should as well if you’re not a paid member.
@@mikejackson8963me too, it’s the only channel I sit through every advert for 😂
But please don't take a year break. Lol.
Thanks brother! Much love back to you!❤
I love these compilation vids. They are nice and long and I fall asleep to them!
Why are we here in this life? Why do we die? What will happen to us after death...

Same here! ;)
We need a video on sleep and dreams. The great mystery of sleep is with us every day and we just ignore it.
We need sleep for the body to repair itself. We need those repairs after the daily insults we suffer from all the environmental factors.😊
And much more..
I love that you are doing "long form" videos. I can't get enough of Why Files. It's one of the top five video series on UA-cam. Thank you so much AJ!
Ya what he wrote...
I wouldn't stress man. This is the exact reason TV shows have seasons. There needs to be a break sometime. I think most of us are happy with any and all content. Even though I may have watched everything already I still watch the compilations. Listening to similar and possibly connected stories all together brings a different view on them.
Thank you for the content.
Yes! I love the similarities in one go.
Same
The problem is the algorithm. Channels that don't post frequently get downranked and their notifications don't reach as many people.
@TechnoMinarchistBall yeah man, fuck the algorithm. I easily spent years looking up every instance the whyfiles covers, and never once did I get a recommendation, I had to search them out after reading a comment saying something about the whyfiles and now it's easily my favorite thing on UA-cam
@@andystarz7936 same!!! UA-cam NEVER suggests why files videos. I’ve watched SO many and I get ZERO recommendations on my main feed
I’m not mad. I’m just happy you’re still doing videos.
I taught him how
Classic PR take
Apparently I am only allowed to reply and not to comment myself. No idea why. But what I wanted to say is that I love all your content, and I love these long videos. I don't mind hearing you telling things twice 😉
@@JannekeBruines youtube police shadow ban you for speaking the truth now days
@@JannekeBruines Me too.
NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER.... EVER apologize! You have given so much goodness to so many, and I, for one, will always be grateful... also, I love these compilation videos
💚
We’re not anti-compilation… y’all are keeping us informed and entertained, we’ll take whatever you toss our way!
Just the fact that he keeps us informed is huge. Most creators wouldn't even take a couple minutes to say they are running behind. WF goes above and beyond and gives us compilations to tide us over. When I watch the compilations, it's usually only the second time watching each of the stories so I welcome them. One view isn't enough for me to h really soak up the info. Super grateful for these and they let me know that they are taking their time to get the next vid perfect. I usually know all the stories before WF talks about them but they make them seem new to me. The production and personalities are top notch
I find these comp videos great when working out...keeps my mind off the fact I am doing exercise
You accidentally typed "We're" but you meant to type "I'm". And then you accidently said "us" when you actually meant "me".😂
Well said
@@user-kq6ju6hc1w
So why are you here?
You're not "we"
Or "us"
But you take the time to go through comments and say "that?"
Just like I did, with "this."
Don’t apologise for the compilations, we love them! It’s amazing to get TWF focused on one topic! 3 hours… love it❤❤❤
Absolutely agreed!!
Just came across the Why Files channel. Absolutely love this channel AJ and his team do a great job and Ive binged watch every episode. Definitely got a fan for life in me. Thank you for the great content
AJ and team, im a father of 3 in my 30s and am so greatful for your content, my pick for movie night is ALWAYS The Why Files, me and the kids love it, the mrs rolls her eyes sometimes but its better than anything else out there and she knows it ;) admitting your significant other picked a good watch is a bit of a thing in my tribe
HAHAHA!!!sucker!!!….(jk dude I have 5 of em dude.i feel you 💯 percent.this show is a small comfort in a world filled with dirty diapers,bitching wife’s,and empty wallets.its awesome to know people like a.j still exist.and actually strive to stay in tune with their fan base.not to mention its the best channel on UA-cam
as someone who only started watching WF about a year or so ago - these compilations are amazing in catching me up on past videos i've missed. some real gems back during the pandemic era 🤣
👆🏽😊
agreed
They have all the videos on their page...lol 😊
🐒🐵
No rush on videos ever. Dont ever apologize for anything. You’ve put in more work for our enjoyment than most people put in for themselves.
Your team is really good.
Well done!!
You are very good at teaching, explaining, there are times I feel like you transport me to the places you talk about. Your attention to details often overlooked by others is what brings me back time and time again.
Thank you for being you. I am proud of you.
I really appreciate you still taking the time to put fun content in the middle of the compilation episodes despite being so busy. You could just throw a compilation together and we'd still be just as grateful without any of the additional commentary. Hope you're taking care of yourself and thank you for being so loyal and dedicated to this community 💙
He didn't take a break, it's his job. He's a content creator. He didn't take time from creating content to create more content. he's busy doing exactly what he's doing by making filler sections for these compilation videos. Respect this mans hustle 💪
Don’t ever apologize for putting together a categorized compilation. We all love them.
No "we all" don't
@@user-kq6ju6hc1wthen don't watch.
I second what james said. Love these. Listen too well playing osrs. If u know u know what that is
@@user-kq6ju6hc1w your voice obviously represents the majority
We use to I'm bored with em now
Honestly these compilations are great for having in my headphones while i work. Its even better than making a Playlist because you put content in between. Thanks AJ
Im 31 and my sons 12 and we have bonded really well over your videos
Jay, you're the only channel approaching those topics with a sane, level-headed yet entertaining approach. The least we could do is being equally sane with you : take your time for whatever you're doing. It's important you still enjoy your time doing it and if it takes a few compilation videos to prevent a burnout it's WORTH IT.
You guys are the best, don't be afraid to just be yourselves.
The vignettes in between each episode make them feel fresh. I have watched all these episodes but this new commentary on each of them makes me very comfortable. This is a solid format, brother.
Please don't apologize for compilations! I love them!
I love these compilation videos. I fall asleep to them. The best part is I have really cool dreams!Thanks for all you do AJ and crew. You too Hecklefish🐠
Yep, I have really bad PTSD and I put the compilation Playlist on so that I can avoid certain nightmares. Somehow I always wind up on time travel 😂 it's so much better than the alternative.
I think that these compilation vids are great. I like watching the normal vids too. Living in the UK, I usually get to watch them on a Friday night, or into the early hours of Saturday morning. This is the one channel I look forward to watching every weekend. Thank You A. J. and Hecklefish.
Hi AJ and Hecklfish! Just wanted to let you know that these videos are helping me through a really rough time right now. I’m so grateful for this channel. Whether it’s a regular video or compilation video, it’s keeping me sane. Thank you ❤
Keep your chin up
We are never alone and are connected to everyone and everything, yet we never really see it or feel it I'm getting a feeling that amazing things are coming for you in the near future- the best is yet to come Lily. May you be blessed and fulfilled.
I relate. For me, it's a humorously engaging possibility. Reality can be disappointing. You let us play with imagination. Thank you AJ for reminding me there are things worth exploring in our world. You play with possibilities and bring us back to reality.
It’s a blessing to have so much material to even put together compilations! Proud of the Why Files.
So true!
What a wonderfully talented storyteller. True Emmy quality.
Bro, there’s no need to ever apologize. Everyone should be thankful that you put these compilations together. Live your life do your thing, we’ll be here when you get back.
Honestly I really love the compilations… it plays like a podcast and I get to stay on theme instead of jumping around. Also, I LOVE the ancient and historical stuff, please do more!! Can you tell some ancient heist stories?
I’m amazed at how ungrateful some people are. I mean, it takes an enormous amount of time and effort doing these and we get to watch them for free so just be appreciative, support and be understanding for these content creators. They too have lives outside of YT. Thank you, AJ and HF for all you do for us ❤️
@@LukeSitewalkr u pay $3 -_-
Why Fies is the only show that shows things that you can not find or heard of before. Thank you for the insight and inspiration.
Don't go apologizing for compilations, brother! You give us these incredible videos for free. You don't owe us anything. We love that you keep giving us content, but true fans want you and the team to prioritize yourselves! Take all the time you need.
Concur ❤
I make insanely smelly bowel movements. So what's your take on that? Come on, for real, just what is your response to that? Also, my mom's farts taste good. Is that strange to you or is it pretty normal stuff?
One of the best channels on UA-cam. Take as many breaks as you need. If you take a year, I'll be waiting for the next and be happy when it arrives.
Showing LOVE for my absolute FAVORITE channel period thank you everyone at The Why Files for the hard work and research you put into each and every video thank you everyone. Have a blessed day and weekend everyone.
No need to apologize for throwing a compilation out there once in a while. Especially when its in order to free up time to make good quality future episodes. I honestly dont know how you guys do an episode a week that is not short by any means, and also manage to pack in as much useful content as possible keeping the viewers engaged the entire time. Its not easy to put together a good quality show thats actually worth watching, I'm sure at least most of us understand that much. I would watch if it were a bi-weekly, or even monthly show, but weekly is a huge bonus so if theres got to be a week here and there where we get a compilation so that more focus can be put onto future episodes and getting information gathered to complete those, or whatever else needs catching up with to keep things running snoothly, I just look at it like a recap of what we've covered already. Its actually cool because seeing all the different pieces of information presented at the same time almost always ends up with me seeing something I didnt catch before, or maybe makes me think a little differently about something. The good thing about a show like this is that your audience isnt a bunch of mindless idiots, so chances are youll never have to worry much about upsetting anyone over something so petty, I would certainly hope not anyways. Thanks for the comp. I like to listen to these while I work sometimes.
100% my favorite show on youtube . If it was on old-school TV it would win a grammy . its simply superb
compilations and all.
These compilations are like book reviews of your favourite stories
Always fun to listen to you and Hecklefish
Thanks to your whole team
I'm absolutely here for a compilation thrown in while you work on the big stuff!!! I think they're fun!
We're essentially getting a quality, informational documentary every week. I don't think anyone here would be upset if it got backed down to 1-2 a month. No need to apologize for an amazing show. Thanks for the hard work!!!
There is no channel I watch more than WF. I develop software for a living, which means I spend many hours listening to youtube channels. Your channel, is the one I love the most, I have watched/listened to your videos repeatedly. You do what you must AJ, take time off, live how you want. Just keep them videos coming. Yes, even compilations. I re-listen to your videos anyway. Compilations just rock, too. Thank you. No really, thank you.
I love the compilations saves me from making a playlist. WhyFiles on repeat all though the night. Thanks for all you do
Extended refresher courses on these subjects are kinda needed.
Hecklefish's on-time prompts are hilarious... and authoritative. The past forever reshapes itself. AJ, don't apologise for anything. We love you and know how valuable your channel is.
I should say this on a more recent video , I mean if you don’t see the comment doesn’t matter tbh , but I just want to say that you have such a great way of “story telling” and you’re so easy to listen to , I very much appreciate your cotent as a curious guy who has a very hard time committing to reading , but you peak my curiosity so much more makes me actually want to get into reading and researching , open up my mind more , maybe I over sharing but anyways thank you for that , you’re amazing man.
I love these compilations. I put them on when I go to bed. It’s my new Unsolved Mysteries. I already watched all of the UM episodes several times over.
This show is the number one thing im listening to at work i listen to the old ones and the compilation so i feel like i have seen them all a few times
In all my years on UA-cam(I am 36 when this video was uploaded, for future reference) I have NEVER seen a channel as entertaining as this one(at least for my interests). Thank you. I was reading about aliens when I was in university, that is when I became fascinated with them. Today, watching your previous videos, I learned that the Tall Whites use the triangular space ships, as far as I know the grays use the disk shaped. And here is a story from my personal experience. Once, when I was very young, me and my mother were going from Pleven to Sofia, Bulgaria to greet my father, who was coming back from conference(I forgot where), to meet him at the airport. We had a red BMW E30 at the time and the plan is to go to Sofia for fun and come back with the car. On the way there, on the bus, RIGHT after Zlatna Panega, me and my mom(as well as some other people on the bus) saw the cigar/cylinder shaped UFO. No, it was not a helicopter, nor an airplane, it was a UFO. And it was day, I could clearly see it. I kid you not, after I grew up and, Internet became more of "a thing" and I started reading about aliens. I saw a picture of it on the Internet(as mentioned, I think it was in my university years). I saw a picture of THE EXACT same object...... imagine my excitement! I think that, from what I've read, it is a carrier of other, disk shaped UFOs, stacked on top of each other(if I remember correctly). Now, MANY years later, every time (sometimes twice a week), when I drive past Zlatna Panega, I look up with the hopes of seeing "something". Again, this is not made up. I can't prove it to ANY of you, but that was my experience back then. The coordinates on Google Maps are: 43.07823462455098, 24.152040108159603.
Also search for information about Vera Kochovska. From what I remember my parents were close with her. I've met her a few times, mainly for treatment. Amazing woman. You felt safe around her and instantly felt her abilities. I won't say anything else on that topic, since I don't feel like I should, can't describe it.
Note: If I remember something else I will add it later to the comment.
Bulagaria’s known to be a high-energy site and many people have experienced UFO sightings there among other unexplainable things. I don’t doubt the validity of your story at all.
@@2ndLife2025 I think I heard that somewhere, yes. Thank you. Sometimes I ask myself if this really was the case and if I made it up, but no, it was real. I also want to go to check out the Tsarichina hole. Someday I will!
Can I contact you
Discovered this channel literally 2 months ago. Idk how I never heard of it sooner but it filled a void that was missing in my life in terms of these types of stories. I'm such a nerd for this type of content, but all the other videos or podcasts I've listened to seem to either wanna jam their own opinion down my throat or they just come across as extremely dismissive of certain topics without elaboration (like they're mocking it). Much love and respect for AJ and the crew (including HeckleFish) for keeping an open mind about any and all topics that are discussed. Very respectful and classy to engage the viewers in that way. Much love to the Why Files crew and hope to get many more episodes. I will be impatiently waiting ❤❤
Compilations make my heart happy. I revisit them often. Get to new content when you can. We're not going anywhere.
I actually love these long ones! I really do have Why Files on repeat all night! Thank you for all you do! 😸

AJ, Hecklefish, WF Team, no need to apologize for a compilation. It saves me from having to go through playlists, or follow rabbit holes.
I love it!!
Gerdy I’m sure loves it haha!
But seriously guys, since day one, WF is my favorite show. Thanks for all you do.
Gerdy loves it alright and much much more 😅
A walk in time is how this feels to me. With great illustrations. You give the pros and cons in and outs,possible scenarios and debunk myths. And you also leave room for us to make our own decisions and use our imaginations which is awesome. And with all of these many aspects there is no doubt how much work and research is involved to put something together. And that's just the story line. Then you have to put everything together for the videos which are evolving from a band to a symphony. Well done! Enjoy your life. I am looking forward to whatever develops even if it remains at this high caliber of production. Erock,Tulsa
As others have said: I fall asleep to these compilation videos.
AJ...it means we find your voice soothing!
They are something we have already watched...theres COMFORT in the KNOWN.
AJ, everyone needs a break. If anything, we appreciate that you have not quit. This is probably the least biast and most wholesome channel on UA-cam.
I am just grateful that you share and work so hard to bring the world this content.
I admit I go to sleep nightly to these even though I’ve seen them all! the compilations are just as good, just keep the videos coming and we’ll watch them!
I love watching before bed! Best channel
I'm relatively certain that you have found your calling in life my friend. You tell these well researched and edited stories in a manner that has everyone wanting more. You put everything into each and every tale from beginning to end. That's the earmark of a true professional. I always enjoy the spin and the facts you bring with every story. The best part is your own style and talent is locked up tight in every single episode so young and old alike will always have a chance to sit down and be thoroughly entertained by AJ GENTILE on THE WHY FILES.
Over 24,000 views in 45 mins. That shows how popular this channel is!
The Grand Canyon episode was the first Why Files episode I watched and it had me hooked. After that I’ve went down the rabbit hole and watched every episode. Rewatching some of the old live streams now. Love you guys and the channel.
I like these 3 hour compilations. It's a great way to spend a days off, some snacks + The Why Files = a nice evening/night.
AJ, I fully appreciate the care and intent you the team put into these videos. I am Annishanaabe (Ojibwe from Northern Mn) and love to hear when you talk about our and other first nation creation stories. Mino-bimaadiziwin, niijii (Live the good life, friend)
Don't worry. No need to hurry content out. I enjoy rewatching all of your stuff. I always get more out of them.
Yes, like I forgot the name Agartha.
No apologies necessary. Loving the Compilations... And all your work.
Yes!!!🎉

Why Files is a minimum, minimum, 10,000 times better and more watchable than current TV. Engaging, thought provoking, interesting, targeting IQs higher than the lowest common denominator, educational; the list of positive adjectives goes on and on. AJ and the team are well on their way of becoming legends. Best channel on UA-cam for sure.
Your videos, better than most of Hollywood movies 🎉 Thank you ❤
Didn't even notice you weren't posting, I get my fix from old shows anyway... so rewatchable.
Take as much time as you need.
Miigwetch Thank You AJ , Heckles & team. Heavy stuff, just b4 her 16th bday, my oldest grandgirl took her life under pressure of bullying. I'm in mi they are in MN. It would make folks there uncomfortable, so wasn't allowed to go. Thank you for this compilation right now. It distracted me & I'm grateful.
Love you guys
AJ, I watch a lot of channels on UA-cam, but The Why Files has consistently been my favorite. The various topics are fun and thought provoking. It’s obvious to me that you are the reason for the success. I understand your need to step away and refocus. I understand that on a personal level. I will be here when you’re ready. Best wishes ❤
Shout out to our humble AJ, another huge shout out to the folks on the team,behind the scenes slipping this well oiled machine into gear and putting out what I think is the best content on the tube. Keep it coming. Thank y’all for keeping me sharp.

Apologize by making more compilations. We love you. Take care of yourself.
I like the compilations.
100% more.
what even happened?
I love this guys expansive knowledge of history, and how in depth he can go with the most notoriously mysterious legends of the past. Asking the questions that need to be asked, highlighting important details, and being honest about hoaxes and false testimonials. He knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat, like a true story teller, cleverly adding light sarcasm here and there, poking fun at the most outlandish conspiracies; but at the same time reminding us to not believe everything that is being told to us and to remain doubtful especially when is comes to the people in charge. But what sets him apart is he does this all while staying within the bounderies of sciencific fact and hard truths.
Your great at what you do, AJ. thank you for bringing us true entertainment. 🏅🍿👌
We know you gotta post often to keep the revenue coming in brother. We appreciate the compilations and reruns. You could even re-do old episodes with NEW sponsors and we eat it up because we love your content and how you deliver it! Your humility is appreciated and inspiring! Thank you AJ! And Hecklefish of course 😉!

I came to the comment section probably for the same reason why I'm seeing so much hate. This channel is my favourite channel on UA-cam, and I only stumbled upon AJ and the Why Files about a year and a bit ago. I get dissappointed when there isn't a new episode. The people that complain about comps, are probably doing so because they look that much forward to new episodes every week. AJ, the quality and detail you put into your content is phenomenal. I also come from pro broadcasting and can tell the special care you've taken in all aspects to produce such a great product. You're getting hate because you're so great, keep up the good work and I'll keep looking forward every week for my next WF fix.
They must have deleted them because all I see are positive comments.
Compilations are actually s good addition.. they go on as my back ground noise.. new episodes are for my chill and smoke time.. keep doing them
Your channel ROCKS! And no, we are not going anywhere. Even compilation videos are good. I really appreciate all of the work u put in. Will be joining as soon as I can get my heath problems under control and I can go back to work i will be joining them. Unfortunately I can't right now. I sincerely apologize for not becoming a member. Have amazing day .
Just keep watching and getting better!!! Wish you well.
I’ve watched all of these episodes multiple times and still watched every minute of this video. Best channel on UA-cam. I’d like to see AJ do this same thing on true crime cases and unsolved mysteries, that would be dope.
Your channel is so awesome that a three hour compilation still leaves me wanting more, and I’ve already seen all of them, and just watch them all again in order and still want more. You guys have the literal perfect channel going without a doubt. And congratulations on getting on prime, hopefully they pay you for that, I’m sure they do, but I haven’t seen any other UA-cam channel on prime, so that tells you right there who’s show is the best!
Thanks AJ AND FAMILY so happy to have this channel to watch you guys are the best
I had managed to avoid this entire website...until now. Facebook wasn't showing you often enough so I enabled UA-cam on my devices JUST for The Why Files. I watch it every night now and let your playlists play while I sleep. I'm a rewatcher like I still watch the same 80s and 90s shows and listen to the same 90s music and never get bored. Now I've added TWF to my repertoire...and I don't really add things to my repertoire. Thanks, AJ [and Hecklefish]!
I actually like the completion videos, it ties everything together. Also I see how the show progresses. Don’t stress doing these, it gives you a well deserved break to get your creative energy. So win win
No need to apologize. I love the compilations! I keep them on in the background because I nerd out on a topic and I don't have to keep looking for new videos. You provide hours of lazy listening :)
These compilations are great. Helps me catch up with your earlier works. These are highly intriguing and fascinating.
Dude, your compilation clips have just started showing up I my feed, and I love them, these are great for my hour + drive to work, set it up before I leave, screen off and sound on car speakers, job done..
Keep them coming.
Nothing wrong with taking your time!! You're videos are great!! Me and the wife watch every new one!!
The compilations are great. Almost prefer them with how much time I spend having youtube up on my 2nd monitor.
The only thing close to being as good as a Why Files video....a Why Files compilation....the work is soooo appreciated
You don't owe us anything, AJ. Your creativity and your work are gifts. Thank you for all that you have done -- I hope you and your family are in good health.
