I gave the Hecklefish keychain to my kid on Christmas for a little extra fun little present. Another kid in Houston airport traveling with is dad recognized it and asked his dad if it was "Hecklefish". The dad asked me, and we hit it off for a minute while waiting to go through customs. It was awesome! Your fans are everywhere, and our family love and support your channel.
I did it! I just finished watching every episode of the Why Files! It took discipline, dedication, reduced productivity at work, ignoring my family, and a bottle of Visine. I have never done that with a YT channel before. This is definitely my favorite channel. Hecklefish, AJ, the topics, the music, the humor, it's all part of a perfect recipe! So thanks Why Files! Enjoy your well deserved break!
Good job bro but I work too and I finished every episode in like 3 weeks and now I’m just waiting every week hoping for a new episode. Step up your game
The fact we know AJ is on vacation, but he still takes time to film introductions for each of the videos on these compilations is just dedication to the craft. Huge Respect!
AJ ....I DONT HAVE ENOUGH EXPELITIVES IN MY VOCABULARY ,TO DESCRIBE OR COMPLIMENT YOU ON YOUR ENDEVOR TO PRODUCE THIS MOST MARVELOUS SHOW ON UA-cam. Are you listening UA-cam!!!!??? And you MR. HECKLEFISH,you make my balls TINGLE!!!! UA-cam....ARE YOU LISTEN8NG
Lived in Princeton WVa. Mammy moons ago when I was a teenager and we snuck in many times to Shawnee. We'd run around the place while killing time to pick my cousin up from where she worked at the omelette shop in Princeton! That place is damn eerie! I'm 65 now and I've never forgot it!
Aj said he was getting the burnout. Lets be supportive and like the video guys! Im glad to be a part of this community. I hope the WF gets caught up on some work and a nice vacation. ❤
Does anyone find AJ's voice comforting? I sometimes just put the after files on to fall asleep. This is for sure my favorite UA-cam channel. Thank you for all you do.
Yeah , just made the mistake of selecting this episode with bugs to fall asleep to. 😂 I could do just about anything else, spooky or not to fall asleep too.
2.5 years straight is a hard graft but you guys are reaping huge rewards, you have completely earned this break. Looking forward to seeing what you come back with
Uncanny valley shows our brains ability to detect fakness. And ability to see consciousness in other being Sense we we have uncanny valley with animals . Jaw's laked the hungry look I see un nature shows . Tye problem with the lion king remake isn't the animals were to realistic especially if we natural personify animals real animals
You said what I said! Only with less words. Words chosen more wisely, then put in the best order possible! There is something so wholesome, yet totally edgy and cool. I honestly believe that The Why Files has something in each episode for any age, from 5 to 100+!) gender, from rainbow to mellow...etc! Indeed, break more than we'll deserved. Looking forward to what the future holds!
Your absolutely right.. what's crazy is how much he has grow since the old episode's .. I mean in NO TIME he went from 5-6 digits to now muti millions .. so happy for his success and he is still doing the same as he did back then!
❤correct..and its nice to know I'm not the only one interested in these things..there relaxing to watch and interesting..seems alot ,mostly the youth dnt care about and dnt knkw about the world and its wonders and mystery
I'm always blown away by AJs acting. The 3 original skits he's done are all awesome, the kidnaping one for his podcast, the james bond one introducing Go Heckelfish! and now this one referencing Sev7n. I wouldn't mind seeing more of acting to be honest. And those shoes look sick as hell too!
Those skits definitely make watching ads while being a premium member bearable. Other channels that just do ad reads (often reusing the same clip for months), I unapologetically use Sponsor Block to automatically skip.
Best channel of all time. All the research, the vibe, for me being a full grown adult I get excited like a child for these episodes and this is like a dream come true at night seeing a compilation. Why Files is the best on UA-cam ❤
sooo true. Im 40yo and I get all giddy come Wednesday for the Thursday premier. Every single episode I love and some give me the goosebumps which is hard to come by these days. All hail AJ and Hecklefish :)
We love you! Never feel bad for taking time to take care of yourself! We aren’t going anywhere- just want you all to be healthy and happy! Thank you for making my favorite show! Mad respect! ❤
AJ, don't come back till you and your staff feel ready or you've waisted the time you are taking off. Your work has made a compilation episode like this possible and the show you all have created is really a nice experience for all your fans! Bravo to whoever does hecklefish for bringing all the audio of those older episodes up to date. I would much rather you and your support come back fresh and keep making this wonderful production rather than burning out and seeing an end to so many people's favorite treat of the week. Thanks
It’d be better without the fish tbh. Randomly ruins the momentum of some vids with some old man cringe jokes. Idk how anyone over 12 could find it funny.

The timing couldn’t have been better ! Thanks for all the hard work AJ & the why files team. I love y’all’s Content. Much love from Texas ! ✭
I know you're only doing these little marathons because you're on vacation, but I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE these two hour marathon episodes!! you should do this more often
I remember going back and binging those old videos years ago when I found the channel. I still religiously watch new videos to this day. I've grown to genuinely care for your well being. Glad you're taking some time for yourself and I look forward to your next video! Take care, AJ and Crew!
I still watch all the new videos but nothing is as good as when I first came upon this channel. I was obsessed. I’d discipline myself to wait until later in the night to watch any vids. Once I finished work I’d come home, smoke, and watch these vids till I went to bed. I miss that. Not just cause of why files but how I was feeling before. Sometimes I enjoy change but sometimes I want to go back. If only we could go back. Just for a minute. I would do anything
I feel the same way, my wife showed me one video and I was hooked. go check out the JRE episode with AJ and his brother, while big bro showcases how intelligent AJ really is
These compilations wouldn't be the same without AJ scrutinizing the hell out of the old videos, it's the little things that make ya relatable chief. One of the best on UA-cam.
The way AJ tells the stories so well, and THEN gives further research on the truth behind it is the reason why I love this show so much! Best paranormal infotainment show out there by far. I’ve binged it all sorted by most popular, but I loved this episode for the snapshot of the evolution of the format. Thanks AJ!
Keep it up, AJ. We understand your situation, and we appreciate all your hard work. As many others have stated, this is the only YT channel that I follow with emotion and wait for it on a weekly basis. The only one that I truly enjoy, even the paid promotions. The compilations are a great idea to catch up on previous topics or remember facts. Just take your time. You, Hecklefish, and your production team are admired and appreciated. No hard feelings. On the contrary, I'm glad that you are taking precious time to take care of yourself and your loved ones. 🔥💪🏽
That intro scene was shot FANTASTICALLY. Whoever your team is , they are killing it. Also - love this channel. I know we all have our biases, however I feel this channel does the best at being as unbiased as possible. And when you do throw in your own thoughts and feelings, you make it known and don’t try to pass it off as fact. Thank you for your work, the why files family.
I found the Why Files by complete accident and tbh I can't believe I never found this channel before now. But I'm glad I did, because I love this show. It literally covers all the things I'm into.
I'm honestly glad you're taking a break for a while. I'll miss the new episodes, but it's important not to work yourself to death. I don't think Hecklefish could carry the show by himself.
I absolutely love this channel!!! I don’t know what I’d do without it!! I listen to his shows while I clean the house or cook dinner!! I love the fact that he finds the truth in every story!! I am a believer in the paranormal! And I watch his shows in hopes that one day he will find the proof I so desire to find before I pass on. But it’s very hard to find information you can trust. Whether it be what you want to hear or the truth in the false ones that try to deceive. Please keep doing what you do best! Finding to find the truth for the rest of us!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Enjoy your break! You’ve earned it. You can’t pour from an empty fishbowl. ❤ Thanks for being a decent corner of the internet, and we’ll be here to welcome you back when you return.
AHHHH!!! Les Why Files!! The torch 🐻 er of Coast 2 Coast !!! Thanks you sooooo much A.J. and Heckles ! These compilations are like a hours long episode of C2C ,Sooo soothing and yet exciting ‼️🐠
Haven't watched this yet and just reading thru comments since i can never catch the AfterFiles live...and AJ you deserve every bit of these positive vibes man!!! The show is amazing looking forward to it every week as well as deep dives. You sir have something truly unique. Wish you the absolute best...especially Gerty
I'm with ya on that. I'm here before watching as well and Glad I did reading the comments 1st has brought perspective Into what I'm about to watch. And it allows me to say: This is gonna be One Helluva Show !!
Reading comments as I can't watch it yet due to work. Always excited about the new episodes being released. Can't echo the praise any more. Such an amazing show and amazing hosts. Never fails to amaze and make me laugh.
AJ, as much as it pains me to not get any content, it will devastate us if you lose your gift for storytelling because you pushed too much and broke yourself. I hope you take as much time as you need! We will all just go on our cryosleeping beds and wake up when you return! OMG the opening sequence is pure magic, AJ sir you truly are an artist as well as the team!!
I have watched every episode available as well as listened to every podcast after seperating with my wife after 16 years and getting clean The Why Files was there when i felt like there was no hope left for me and a big thanks to AJ for the humility shown for mentioning your own mental health struggles it made me feel like i wasnt alone...your channel helped me thru the darkness and im forever thankful and im sure im not the only one either
The shadow person episode gave me chills the entire time. I've had multiple encounters with shadow people and the fear is paralyzing... there is nothing to do except silently cry and stare at what's happening. That was an extremely hard episode to listen to but also validating
I'm shocked, shook, scared for life after this! I can't stop thinking now about how, and why would Hecklefish, a tiny little fishy guy know about AJ's mr. Happy, lol?!🤯😱😉😂😂
Rather than listening to the radio and all the crap going on in the world, I download WF to a flashdrive and listen to it in the car. LOVE these programs! AND, I learn something every time. Bless you and all your staff for doing such excellent work!!
I used to go to a Catholic French school in St.Catharines Ontario with a kid in my 4th grade class in the late 60's, who began getting attacked by a Poltergeist at home. I remember teachers whispering among themselves when talking about what was happening to him, and waving the sign of the cross. Was always nice kid, we liked him. Eventually Police were called to his home, and even filed unexplainable events in their reports that they'd witnessed for themselves. He left school that spring, and heard his family moved to Quebec. That was pretty much the last we'd heard of him, but the events made it into local Police Reports and The St.Catharine Standard newspaper.
Hopefully AJ and crew enjoy their break and recharge the ol’ batteries so they come back stronger than ever. We’ll be here! Love you all! As for me, I’m stocked up on chips and beer for the blizzard raging outside. Fingers crossed for me, hecklefans. Just need the power and internet to stay up for the next three hours so I can enjoy this compilation.
BLIZZARD? Where the hell are you? I'm down in Mobile where we've needed to run the A/C here and there since late January. But I grew up in Iowa so I know what "cold" means, and I do not miss it.
AJ, you do what you gotta do buddy. Don't underestimate your fans loyalty -- we will be here when you get back to us. As for the compilation videos, you shouldn't be surprised that they're as popular as they are. Hours of non-ending WF content? Absolute genius. I click on the compilation videos now because I know I'll get that much more AJ and Hecklefish. Much love from the Canadian Rockies xx
Please take your time AJ. Your true support will be waiting and always greatly appreciate the work you’ve put in, in such a short time. Enjoy your free time. ❤
How did Hecklefish get hired?? Did you do a background check on him? He seems like a bad employee. Always goofing around and being disrespectful to you. You should write him up at his next review.
I say this all the time but this is truly the best show/channel on UA-cam. I genuinely look forward to every episode. Take as many breaks as you need my man you've earned it!
Ok, the "SE7EN" spoof about "Hecklekicks" was awesome! "I might have overreacted." 😆 You guys never cease to amaze me. I remember finding you guys from the beginning and was always really impressed with the quality of content that you put out from day 1. I knew I was witnessing something special. I'm happy for you guys and you deserve the rapid growth and positive feedback from everyone. I think the biggest thing that always set you apart were telling the stories as if they were real. And only going over their believability or the credibility of those involved at the wrap-up. And of course Hecklefish is a stroke of genius.
A.J.'s acting skills are excellent! I really enjoyed this spoof of Sev7n! And Hecklefish is ALWAYS on target! Well done, guys! Take a well deserved break, and Me and the wife look very forward to you're return! ❤❤❤
Aj, your WAY TOO HARD on YOURSELF!!! There is NOT ONE SINGLE SHOW LIKE YOURS! You completely CONTINUE to GROW and SUCCEED!! Your personality and "the fish" is what we see, wonderful information is what we hear, and definitely laughs. WE can more OFTEN than not be OUR OWN WORSE CRITICS. God gave us elbows, so we can pat ourselves on the back.....when needed 😊 Thank you for your show!
You deserve the break man. Can’t tell you how much we all appreciate you AJ! Thanks for all you do. I just got 90 minutes of the deepest tissue massage I’ve ever have had. Highly recommend.
Props AJ , that Seven intro was great. If it weren't for the WF files, idk what id do. Im disabled and homeless since pandemic. Its really scary out there...the whole country i mean. Long story long, no matter how bad life gets, i can always take comfort in your awesome podcasts,or whatever you call em. Thanks alot, seriously. Wish i could contribute money, but dont know where my next meal will be, or qhere ill be sleeping. Damn near froze last winter. I get your burnt, BUT alot of us would be lost without your channel/ content, 4REAL. thanks
Thank you for posting in the afternoon, it's difficult to watch late at night, but i cant help but stay up as long as possible to enjoy every Thursday!
Same here, you must be in the UK too? Yep I used to watch the premieres live at 2am then watch After Files until nearly 6! I was pretty much nocturnal last year but my sleep is almost normal now so harder to do
Reading between the lines, it looks like you may be going through a lot of stress AJ, whatever you do look after yourself first. The channel and indeed all of us will still be here
Also AJ I just wanted to let you know that we are all here for you. If you ever need to talk about anything or anything like that just tell us. We would be more than happy to listen to you. You are my Absolute Favorite Channel!!! Number 1 on UA-cam all these other channels have nothing on you. Plus Hecklefish is a plus he’s a sassy little fishy. We love you AJ please keep on trucking. We are so proud of you. Please be respectful everyone. Don’t forget we are all human and we have feelings as well. Watch your health and mental health guys. 🙏🏻🩷 Sending good vibes to you all. 💖💖 Shalom. 🕊️✌🏻
Love this show! I love the story followed by the facts. I can't wait for each new episode, have watched all of them! We'll all still be here when you're ready. Enjoy the much deserved you time.
Not surprised you need a break. This is an amazing channel but it must be a massive thing to develop each week. Thanks for all the effort you put in to bring us these amazing episodes. Know that YOU are appreciated
This is honestly one of the best if not the best shows ive had the pleasue of watching snd i genuinely look forward to each and every new episode. Pls keep up the fantasic work x
I love the format you've gone with, tell the story as if it's proven and then give the actual facts, perfect. You guys are awesome, please keep it up :)
Have you ever been so hooked on a series that you look forward to the day it comes on again? Well this channel is one of those for me. I always look forward to new episodes! I’ve been watching these compilations over the last couple of days. I was surprised to find a few that I had missed. The research, the delivery, and the content is just so good! I love this channel.
Hedge walker I look forward to up coming episodes as well friend I've found that I've also missed a few enjoy them so much that's crackers what are we like ?
I discovered The Why Files about a year ago. Since then it is my favourite thing to watch OVER ANYTHING on any platform. I cannot thank everyone involved with bringing this content to us all. Got my wisdom teeth ripped out yesterday. Choice for headphones? Had to be Hollow Moon. Cheers legends
Definitely appreciate the time and passion you take molding your content. My guess is the only people who wouldn't like the why files are people who aren't allowed to... The way you lay out the facts even younger viewers can follow and get excellent information. Please 🙏 keep up the meticulous and brilliant work guys...
Your production of these early episodes was actually quite entertaining and very genuine. You can see you’re getting your legs under you and feeling out ideas on how best to represent the information while playing in your new sandbox but you can also clearly see the potential of your platform to entertain and inform. Great start of a seriously solid channel.
Honestly I love this especially the fact that you’re so humble to post your humble beginnings Never forget where you came from. Seen about EVERY video you posted the last 2 years so seeing your older content is such a treat
That advertisement for hecklekicks was brilliant!! I’m new to your channel but not new to the information, I’m so glad to have found your channel. I see the extra work you put in that sets you apart from other channels, thank you for everything you’re doing we truly appreciate it
I totally enjoy this channel. I regret that I did not find this earlier. Now thanks to this wonderful idea of “combined rerun”, I can watch from the beginning. Thanks a bunch!
I'm in the middle of a work stretch that seems like it will not end. I do use AJ and crew as a recharge midweek, but It makes me doubly recharged, knowing they will get a break. What a joy to be able to bless AJ and the staff with a well-deserved end of season lighter load.
This video had an impressive mix of chill-inducing stories, unexpected humor and interesting facts. Appreciate the extra lengths you went to, to inform and engage us. The vivid visual descriptions had me completely hooked.
This commercial is great. In my opinion the Go Hecklefish "James Pond" commercial is even better! Funny and honestly well executed characters! You should check that one out also if you haven't seen it!
I absolutely love this channel. The content is everything I'm interested in but the real jewel here is the production quality. This is tv quality production if not even better. Def a top channel on yt for sure
Take care and we will be here when you are back! I saw the video you made for Patreon and the part about your dad and your cat really got to me. I hope your well deserved break can help you recharge. Appreciate the content you make and the incredible effort that goes into each video. Take care!!!
Nobody deserves a vacation more than AJ and crew. I don't know how you guys put so much together with the small staff you have. True talent is in there somewhere. Enjoy and see you on the other side!
I loved already AJ's writing skills and the handsome personality but watching this intro I was impressed by the acting! For those who didn't get it, the intro is a parody of the last scene of the movie "Seven" with B. Pitt and M. Freeman. It took me couple of minutes to remember wich movie was, when the name came out I was impressed by the acting!! Brother you're a man of many talents!! and people love you no matter what!! stop making excuses about the video uploads!!! we understand and we support you anyway. BTW I LOVE THESE COMPILATIONS!
Love The Why Files, AJ and Hecklefisb!!! My favorite show and I listen to the podcasts on my drive to work. Thank you; wishing everyone at The Why Files the best!!
Hey A.J. Don’t forget, your first 10 videos got most of us hooked! No pun heckle. 😉 This long video is an awesome treat though. I’m in 20 mins and loving it!
AJ you do great work ! Don’t stop enjoying it ! Please take shorter frequent getaways every few weeks and longer rejuvenating ones at least once or twice a year !
I sure enjoy EVERY video you have produced. The creativity, the time, the logic, the research. Thank you for all you have done for so many people with keeping us grounded in research and kindness… and perspective!
You, my good Sir...are truly a legend, but even legends need a break... Take all the time you need, everyone here will be joining you again when you get back...and know that you...are appreciated ✌🏻
I hope we don't have to wait too long until more new episodes! I've seen every episode and will be rewatching in the meantime! Thank you AJ and team for creating such a masterpiece!

Welcome to the WF family!
I did the same thing! Once I found the channel, I ended up watching every single video 😂 But, I did it over a few weeks, so no Visine required 😅
Now, do you think TWF are on the CIA payroll?
Watching 3 hours of Why Files is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Wow wow wow…..wow

Yes, I can listen while doing work, like painting and it keeps me going. Also I can him on and fall right asleep. Best of both worlds.
I always thought he sounded like Fry from Futurama, respectfully
Same I fall asleep watching why files.
You sure that's all you find comforting? Lol
Yeah , just made the mistake of selecting this episode with bugs to fall asleep to. 😂 I could do just about anything else, spooky or not to fall asleep too.
2.5 years straight is a hard graft but you guys are reaping huge rewards, you have completely earned this break. Looking forward to seeing what you come back with
Just shocked at how fast this channel grew. Shouldn't be, the content is in amazing, squeamish and WTF!!!
Hopefully it's the annunaki episode. The Templar one was so good.

Thus he needs a break. That is going to be a mental slog to make due to the sheer amount of research available for it.

I still watch all the new videos but nothing is as good as when I first came upon this channel. I was obsessed. I’d discipline myself to wait until later in the night to watch any vids. Once I finished work I’d come home, smoke, and watch these vids till I went to bed. I miss that. Not just cause of why files but how I was feeling before. Sometimes I enjoy change but sometimes I want to go back. If only we could go back. Just for a minute. I would do anything
@@runningman7674 not good to live in the past. Look for new joys. Whoop whoop.
I feel the same way, my wife showed me one video and I was hooked. go check out the JRE episode with AJ and his brother, while big bro showcases how intelligent AJ really is
You needed a good break, AJ. You've done terrific Job with all your episodes!
These compilations wouldn't be the same without AJ scrutinizing the hell out of the old videos, it's the little things that make ya relatable chief. One of the best on UA-cam.
The way AJ tells the stories so well, and THEN gives further research on the truth behind it is the reason why I love this show so much! Best paranormal infotainment show out there by far. I’ve binged it all sorted by most popular, but I loved this episode for the snapshot of the evolution of the format. Thanks AJ!
Keep it up, AJ. We understand your situation, and we appreciate all your hard work. As many others have stated, this is the only YT channel that I follow with emotion and wait for it on a weekly basis. The only one that I truly enjoy, even the paid promotions. The compilations are a great idea to catch up on previous topics or remember facts. Just take your time. You, Hecklefish, and your production team are admired and appreciated. No hard feelings. On the contrary, I'm glad that you are taking precious time to take care of yourself and your loved ones. 🔥💪🏽
That intro scene was shot FANTASTICALLY. Whoever your team is , they are killing it. Also - love this channel. I know we all have our biases, however I feel this channel does the best at being as unbiased as possible. And when you do throw in your own thoughts and feelings, you make it known and don’t try to pass it off as fact. Thank you for your work, the why files family.
Mm
Thank you so much. Dig the content, appreciate the commentary. My wife and I watch regularly ❤
So glad you're watching, Eli! Appreciate the generous tip.
I found the Why Files by complete accident and tbh I can't believe I never found this channel before now. But I'm glad I did, because I love this show. It literally covers all the things I'm into.
IKR! I Just found it cpl months ago, then on Tubi! I didnt know he was so big till then!
Wonder if ghost 👻 are chemical imprints
Same here. As sad as it is, it's one of the few things I have to look forward to every week 😂😂😂
Same I try to recommend it to people all the time.
And with no ill intent. Ever. 😂Miracles abound ❤
I put Why Files episodes on to fall asleep to. This is literally perfect for me lol.
Thanks, AJ and Hecklefish!
Same!😂❤
There are episodes that are pretty scary tho, wouldn't want to fall asleep to those
@@LuisSierra42the have you dreamed this man was kinda creepy for late night 😅
@@LuisSierra42Some of us like falling asleep to creepy content though, movies or You tube videos
Oh, man!! The production and effort that went into that ad 2:32 was Q-U-A-LITY!!!!
Great job, guys!!
The sneakers look pretty slick as well
It was awesome 🤩 I was on the edge just wanting to know what was in the box
I'm honestly glad you're taking a break for a while. I'll miss the new episodes, but it's important not to work yourself to death. I don't think Hecklefish could carry the show by himself.
That would be a fun concept to play around with, though, sort of an “AJ’s away, the Hecklefish will play” idea 😏🧐
Don’t let him hear that.
Im so for it let's get a petition going...lol@@candistarbuckle
Just hecklefish no….but hecklefish AND spacepanda now we’re talkin!
We all ❤ and adore Hecklefish but he cant do it alone. I think he knows it, too.😊
I absolutely love this channel!!! I don’t know what I’d do without it!! I listen to his shows while I clean the house or cook dinner!! I love the fact that he finds the truth in every story!! I am a believer in the paranormal! And I watch his shows in hopes that one day he will find the proof I so desire to find before I pass on. But it’s very hard to find information you can trust. Whether it be what you want to hear or the truth in the false ones that try to deceive. Please keep doing what you do best! Finding to find the truth for the rest of us!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Enjoy your break! You’ve earned it. You can’t pour from an empty fishbowl. ❤ Thanks for being a decent corner of the internet, and we’ll be here to welcome you back when you return.
[Sudden din, heavy on your door] !Bang! !Bang! FBI.. Open up!!
AHHHH!!! Les Why Files!! The torch 🐻 er of Coast 2 Coast !!! Thanks you sooooo much A.J. and Heckles ! These compilations are like a hours long episode of C2C ,Sooo soothing and yet exciting ‼️🐠
Haven't watched this yet and just reading thru comments since i can never catch the AfterFiles live...and AJ you deserve every bit of these positive vibes man!!! The show is amazing looking forward to it every week as well as deep dives. You sir have something truly unique. Wish you the absolute best...especially Gerty
I'm with ya on that. I'm here before watching as well and Glad I did reading the comments 1st has brought perspective Into what I'm about to watch. And it allows me to say: This is gonna be One Helluva Show !!
Reading comments as I can't watch it yet due to work. Always excited about the new episodes being released. Can't echo the praise any more. Such an amazing show and amazing hosts. Never fails to amaze and make me laugh.
AJ, as much as it pains me to not get any content, it will devastate us if you lose your gift for storytelling because you pushed too much and broke yourself. I hope you take as much time as you need! We will all just go on our cryosleeping beds and wake up when you return! OMG the opening sequence is pure magic, AJ sir you truly are an artist as well as the team!!
I have watched every episode available as well as listened to every podcast after seperating with my wife after 16 years and getting clean The Why Files was there when i felt like there was no hope left for me and a big thanks to AJ for the humility shown for mentioning your own mental health struggles it made me feel like i wasnt alone...your channel helped me thru the darkness and im forever thankful and im sure im not the only one either
tried to listen the podcast but find them the same as the video... are there different? where do you listen them?
No u are not the only one. Stay strong friend everyone is precious in their own way
Congratulations on your sobriety! I hope things continue to improve for you ❤
Very nice, Dave Paulides helped me thru a partially similar situation a lil while back. Keep up the good fight!
Stand tall, brother.
The shadow person episode gave me chills the entire time. I've had multiple encounters with shadow people and the fear is paralyzing... there is nothing to do except silently cry and stare at what's happening. That was an extremely hard episode to listen to but also validating
The professionalism and quality of the show is top notch, it's interesting to see that this has been built and improved over time!
I love this show so much ! My fav parts are not just the stories ,but the banter between AJ and Hecklefish . 😂
Same! I love that hecklefish is the childish "little brother" so-to-speak. I love this channel for so many other reasons, too, though.
I'm shocked, shook, scared for life after this! I can't stop thinking now about how, and why would Hecklefish, a tiny little fishy guy know about AJ's mr. Happy, lol?!🤯😱😉😂😂
The Se7en spoof ad was freakin' GOLD!!! 😂 You are such an amazing content creator!!!! Can't wait for the new season!
Rather than listening to the radio and all the crap going on in the world, I download WF to a flashdrive and listen to it in the car. LOVE these programs! AND, I learn something every time. Bless you and all your staff for doing such excellent work!!
I used to go to a Catholic French school in St.Catharines Ontario with a kid in my 4th grade class in the late 60's, who began getting attacked by a Poltergeist at home.
I remember teachers whispering among themselves when talking about what was happening to him, and waving the sign of the cross. Was always nice kid, we liked him.
Eventually Police were called to his home, and even filed unexplainable events in their reports that they'd witnessed for themselves. He left school that spring, and heard his
family moved to Quebec. That was pretty much the last we'd heard of him, but the events made it into local Police Reports and The St.Catharine Standard newspaper.
Hopefully AJ and crew enjoy their break and recharge the ol’ batteries so they come back stronger than ever. We’ll be here! Love you all!
As for me, I’m stocked up on chips and beer for the blizzard raging outside. Fingers crossed for me, hecklefans. Just need the power and internet to stay up for the next three hours so I can enjoy this compilation.
who fkin cares.
@@Thedarkportalshow lol I guess u care since u took the time to read his post, and type that out
BLIZZARD? Where the hell are you? I'm down in Mobile where we've needed to run the A/C here and there since late January. But I grew up in Iowa so I know what "cold" means, and I do not miss it.
chips and beer, just the essentials :). Good luck friend!
You guys work so hard for us! Thank you! 🙏🏽 Enjoy the lack of a posting deadline for a while. We’ll be ready for your comeback when you are!
That ad is hysterical 🎉
wouldnt you for TENS of THOUSANDS of $$ a week in patrions and merch?.....
AJ, you do what you gotta do buddy. Don't underestimate your fans loyalty -- we will be here when you get back to us. As for the compilation videos, you shouldn't be surprised that they're as popular as they are. Hours of non-ending WF content? Absolute genius. I click on the compilation videos now because I know I'll get that much more AJ and Hecklefish. Much love from the Canadian Rockies xx
Please take your time AJ. Your true support will be waiting and always greatly appreciate the work you’ve put in, in such a short time. Enjoy your free time. ❤
How did Hecklefish get hired?? Did you do a background check on him? He seems like a bad employee. Always goofing around and being disrespectful to you. You should write him up at his next review.
Background cannon would be great. I still haven't worked out what happened to Space Panda lol
Diversity hire of course 😂
Hecklefish is the exact right choice for the position he was hired for.
Hecklefish 2024
He does seem a bit fishy.
I say this all the time but this is truly the best show/channel on UA-cam. I genuinely look forward to every episode. Take as many breaks as you need my man you've earned it!
I got my husband into your channel and now he not only watches your youtube videos, we both also listen to your podcasts!😄
Ok, the "SE7EN" spoof about "Hecklekicks" was awesome!
"I might have overreacted." 😆
You guys never cease to amaze me. I remember finding you guys from the beginning and was always really impressed with the quality of content that you put out from day 1. I knew I was witnessing something special. I'm happy for you guys and you deserve the rapid growth and positive feedback from everyone. I think the biggest thing that always set you apart were telling the stories as if they were real. And only going over their believability or the credibility of those involved at the wrap-up. And of course Hecklefish is a stroke of genius.
Came to the comments to say the same thing! Amazing work!
I want the high Tops.
You guys knock it out of the park EVERY week. Have a good, well earned rest. We Love you!
Thank You AJ, Hecklefish and all the team!! Hope you're enjoying your break, and thank u for the compilation! ❤❤❤
A.J.'s acting skills are excellent! I really enjoyed this spoof of Sev7n!
And Hecklefish is ALWAYS on target!
Well done, guys!
Take a well deserved break, and Me and the wife look very forward to you're return! ❤❤❤
Aj, your WAY TOO HARD on YOURSELF!!! There is NOT ONE SINGLE SHOW LIKE YOURS! You completely CONTINUE to GROW and SUCCEED!! Your personality and "the fish" is what we see, wonderful information is what we hear, and definitely laughs. WE can more OFTEN than not be OUR OWN WORSE CRITICS. God gave us elbows, so we can pat ourselves on the back.....when needed 😊 Thank you for your show!
💯 I never end an episode negative. I love his info, but his entertainment makes it feel so personal.
Art Bell started the Modern Creepy Radio Camfire night. AJ is taking the same format into The UA-cam generation
It reminds me of Blue’s Clues.
My favorite show on all of youtube! Lots of love from Germany ❤ Take all the time you need AJ, we will still be here when you get back ❤️
You deserve the break man. Can’t tell you how much we all appreciate you AJ! Thanks for all you do. I just got 90 minutes of the deepest tissue massage I’ve ever have had. Highly recommend.
Props AJ , that Seven intro was great. If it weren't for the WF files, idk what id do. Im disabled and homeless since pandemic. Its really scary out there...the whole country i mean. Long story long, no matter how bad life gets, i can always take comfort in your awesome podcasts,or whatever you call em. Thanks alot, seriously. Wish i could contribute money, but dont know where my next meal will be, or qhere ill be sleeping. Damn near froze last winter.
I get your burnt, BUT alot of us would be lost without your channel/ content, 4REAL. thanks
Thank you for posting in the afternoon, it's difficult to watch late at night, but i cant help but stay up as long as possible to enjoy every Thursday!
Same usually have to wait up till 2am when it comes out my Time
Same here, you must be in the UK too? Yep I used to watch the premieres live at 2am then watch After Files until nearly 6! I was pretty much nocturnal last year but my sleep is almost normal now so harder to do
I agree, post at 6 instead of fucking 9 on the east coast.
@@TheFerretLives no Ireland but same thing same time I must not be the only adult who watches his show 😅
Reading between the lines, it looks like you may be going through a lot of stress AJ, whatever you do look after yourself first. The channel and indeed all of us will still be here
MIB is after him for exposing too much info.
excellent things are worth waiting for !!!! one of the best series on UA-cam.
Also AJ I just wanted to let you know that we are all here for you. If you ever need to talk about anything or anything like that just tell us. We would be more than happy to listen to you. You are my Absolute Favorite Channel!!! Number 1 on UA-cam all these other channels have nothing on you. Plus Hecklefish is a plus he’s a sassy little fishy. We love you AJ please keep on trucking. We are so proud of you. Please be respectful everyone. Don’t forget we are all human and we have feelings as well. Watch your health and mental health guys. 🙏🏻🩷
Sending good vibes to you all. 💖💖
Shalom. 🕊️✌🏻
ok
Love this show! I love the story followed by the facts. I can't wait for each new episode, have watched all of them! We'll all still be here when you're ready. Enjoy the much deserved you time.
Not surprised you need a break. This is an amazing channel but it must be a massive thing to develop each week. Thanks for all the effort you put in to bring us these amazing episodes. Know that YOU are appreciated
This is honestly one of the best if not the best shows ive had the pleasue of watching snd i genuinely look forward to each and every new episode. Pls keep up the fantasic work x
Best ad I’ve ever seen AJ. Jesus Christ you go above and beyond with everything you do, we appreciate it!
1:09:02 This is my favorite series of Hecklefish jokes ever. I think this is just my favorite ever lol. Thanks for making me lol, Hecklefish! 😘🐟
Art is laughing too! 🤘
I love the format you've gone with, tell the story as if it's proven and then give the actual facts, perfect. You guys are awesome, please keep it up :)
Have you ever been so hooked on a series that you look forward to the day it comes on again? Well this channel is one of those for me. I always look forward to new episodes! I’ve been watching these compilations over the last couple of days. I was surprised to find a few that I had missed. The research, the delivery, and the content is just so good! I love this channel.
Hedge walker I look forward to up coming episodes as well friend I've found that I've also missed a few enjoy them so much that's crackers what are we like ?
Yes, like the good old days of TV but better!
Agreed.
I discovered The Why Files about a year ago. Since then it is my favourite thing to watch OVER ANYTHING on any platform. I cannot thank everyone involved with bringing this content to us all. Got my wisdom teeth ripped out yesterday. Choice for headphones? Had to be Hollow Moon. Cheers legends
My favorite channel too‼️‼️🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️
Definitely appreciate the time and passion you take molding your content. My guess is the only people who wouldn't like the why files are people who aren't allowed to...
The way you lay out the facts even younger viewers can follow and get excellent information.
Please 🙏 keep up the meticulous and brilliant work guys...
Your production of these early episodes was actually quite entertaining and very genuine. You can see you’re getting your legs under you and feeling out ideas on how best to represent the information while playing in your new sandbox but you can also clearly see the potential of your platform to entertain and inform. Great start of a seriously solid channel.
Honestly I love this especially the fact that you’re so humble to post your humble beginnings
Never forget where you came from. Seen about EVERY video you posted the last 2 years so seeing your older content is such a treat
As an ER nurse of 25 years, your content soothes the savage soul ❤😂
😱
🤗 ER represent !
Hats off to you fellow healer!!! ICU present.
You must work in the ER during the weekend.
As a regretful nursing school dropout and failed artist I agree but in a lighthearted way lol
That advertisement for hecklekicks was brilliant!! I’m new to your channel but not new to the information, I’m so glad to have found your channel. I see the extra work you put in that sets you apart from other channels, thank you for everything you’re doing we truly appreciate it
I LOVE theme-based compilations - and this was a great curation. Enjoy the break, guys! You deserve it 😊
I totally enjoy this channel. I regret that I did not find this earlier. Now thanks to this wonderful idea of “combined rerun”, I can watch from the beginning. Thanks a bunch!
.... combined rerun.....
Love it....lmao
I make breakfast for the week for my crew every Sunday. I always listen to the Why Files. These long videos are amazing!!
You guys crack me up, every single time!!1 Absolutely love you twooooo!!!!
Glad you're taking the break you deserve! So much awesomeness can be found here, and I'm happy to be a part of it!
I'm in the middle of a work stretch that seems like it will not end. I do use AJ and crew as a recharge midweek, but It makes me doubly recharged, knowing they will get a break. What a joy to be able to bless AJ and the staff with a well-deserved end of season lighter load.
This video had an impressive mix of chill-inducing stories, unexpected humor and interesting facts. Appreciate the extra lengths you went to, to inform and engage us. The vivid visual descriptions had me completely hooked.
I enjoyed this compilation so much! Thank you AJ, and Hecklefish 😜😊✌️💖🤘
Wow dude, that ad you made at the start was so good I watched the whole thing. That might actually be the first good ad I've seen in my life.
This commercial is great. In my opinion the Go Hecklefish "James Pond" commercial is even better! Funny and honestly well executed characters! You should check that one out also if you haven't seen it!
I absolutely love this channel. The content is everything I'm interested in but the real jewel here is the production quality. This is tv quality production if not even better. Def a top channel on yt for sure
I spend my days at work going through your old videos. This compilation is perfect.
We love all your content!! Thank you for your do. We support you with prayers and blessings ❤❤
Take care and we will be here when you are back! I saw the video you made for Patreon and the part about your dad and your cat really got to me. I hope your well deserved break can help you recharge. Appreciate the content you make and the incredible effort that goes into each video. Take care!!!
Nobody deserves a vacation more than AJ and crew. I don't know how you guys put so much together with the small staff you have. True talent is in there somewhere. Enjoy and see you on the other side!
Imagine my face when I saw how long this video is. My Saturday night is sorted! Thanks, AJ, from NE England.
I loved already AJ's writing skills and the handsome personality but watching this intro I was impressed by the acting!
For those who didn't get it, the intro is a parody of the last scene of the movie "Seven" with B. Pitt and M. Freeman. It took me couple of minutes to remember wich movie was, when the name came out I was impressed by the acting!! Brother you're a man of many talents!! and people love you no matter what!! stop making excuses about the video uploads!!! we understand and we support you anyway. BTW I LOVE THESE COMPILATIONS!
Love The Why Files, AJ and Hecklefisb!!! My favorite show and I listen to the podcasts on my drive to work. Thank you; wishing everyone at The Why Files the best!!
The why Files never get boring even after 3 hours of recap. Love the Channel, get a well deserved R & E!!
Hey A.J. Don’t forget, your first 10 videos got most of us hooked! No pun heckle. 😉
This long video is an awesome treat though. I’m in 20 mins and loving it!
AJ you do great work ! Don’t stop enjoying it ! Please take shorter frequent getaways every few weeks and longer rejuvenating ones at least once or twice a year !
I sure enjoy EVERY video you have produced. The creativity, the time, the logic, the research. Thank you for all you have done for so many people with keeping us grounded in research and kindness… and perspective!
Bruh this is good af. Have a good break. Everyone will be thankful especially you 🎉
This compilation is lasting me through the weekend! Love it. And appreciate it being curated and hosted. Still feels like new content.
You, my good Sir...are truly a legend, but even legends need a break... Take all the time you need, everyone here will be joining you again when you get back...and know that you...are appreciated ✌🏻
I love the intro! The production value is great, basically on the level of the movie it references. Fantastic and hilarious.
I hope we don't have to wait too long until more new episodes! I've seen every episode and will be rewatching in the meantime! Thank you AJ and team for creating such a masterpiece!
Accidentally had this on as i woke up 3am.. YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME!
Very cool to see the evolution of this channel. Thanks for the great content. Enjoy your break guys!
