@ormrinnit's alot childish that you even felt compelled to make this comment.. He didn't really "complain", although he did "draw attention to".. And you know why? Because so many people don't have a clue how much work is done in the background to produce something like this. But they should know, or be made aware of how much work goes into producing something like this! It's not like he just sits down for 15 minutes and rattles it off, and then sits back waiting to be paid for it! It's work, alot of work!.. and people should know a little bit of how much work it really is! So, get off your high horse! Jealous much?
I don't think I've ever stated quite how much I appreciate and love the fact that you have, not only premiers, but also little snippets as trailers. Its awesome. You guys are, by far, the best entertainment/education mix channel that covers the fringe topics. Keep doing what you're doing. Stay safe. Don't fall victim to the governments despicable acts. ❤ we love and appreciate you guys!
AJ, I work in the "biz". As you were going through those images I was thinking, "The guy who did that research must be insane." I had a job where I was looking for hi res pics of Mars and Venus. Those archives are immense. Then you revealed that you were the researcher. Much respect. I appreciate your OCD and I thank you for it.
Your 100 hours of research for 4 minutes of video is the reason why I make sure I see ever one of your episodes You are great at what you do Please keep up the amazing work and quality you bring to this channel
@@MikeD_ You clearly misunderstood what I was talking about. There are a few videos with made up narratives that are written by AI instead of being based on true stories. Obviously in most videos this in not the case.

Please don't stress or strain yourself for this channel, you've already gained an incredibly loyal fanbase and we all want whats best for you and yours.

Suffering badly from depression this week, and this has genuinely lifted my mood. Thanks for all the good work that you do. It's appreciated more than you know.
I'm in a residential facility and I am digging through some major stuff that an abusive partner put me through. The Why Files is a welcome escape. You are not alone.
G'day from Oz! I'm truly sorry to hear you’re going through a tough time with depression. It can feel like a heavy weight, but I hope you know you’re not alone in this. You’ve got a whole community here who would gladly stand by you and help lift your spirits, even in small ways. Take a moment to remember all the good things that have brought you joy, and know there are people who truly care about you and want to see you thrive. Sometimes a simple catch-up with family or friends can make a world of difference-just sharing your thoughts with someone who cares can be surprisingly powerful. Hang in there mate, and remember we’re all here cheering you on!
The mention of the launch from Brazil struck me because my parents are from a rural village called La Leonesa at a province in the north of argentina called Chaco and they (along with my grandparents) always told the story that for some time they used to see foreign people in the surrounding area of their village, at the time they described them as gringos (you know white, clear eyes and hair, and kinda tall) but now they think they were russians and they were building something a few km away. They said that one day they heard a really lound sound and the sky became so dark with smoke it was like complete night (I don't remember if they mentioned seeing somethig go up in the sky though), and that in the following days the foreigners packed everything up and left only a concrete foundation in an open area. I'm not clear if this was before my parents were born or after (dad's from the 1960 and mom from 63) but it was surely before 69 since that's when my mom's family moved to Buenos Aires. This is a really fuzzy story since we rarely visit my family up north, theres a whole province + Paraguay between Chaco and Brazil, I've never seen the suposed platform that they left behind that probably now is a field of trees, and all my grandparents are gone since august last year so I can't even ask them, but they always told that story and it came to my mind when you mentioned Brazil.

The way you guys structure the show reminds me of my early childhood. I remember waking up every Sunday morning and tuning into ‘Boneheads Detectives of the Paleo world’, ‘ Bill NYe the Science Guy” and others. The way your show makes me feel brings back this same feelings I used to get watching those shows. I love it. While I’ve already heard of most of the topics covered on your show, you always seem to find information that I hadn’t yet found, or present it in a different light than previously from other content creators. Thanks so much for your show. Absolutely one of the best. My son is only 3, so he doesn’t watch this with me, but I can envision families with young adult children and teens all sitting down watching your shows together. It’s a great family atmosphere that you give off, and the comedy is very entertaining. ❤
The amount of appreciation I have for A.J and his team can't be put into words. This is the only TH-cam channel that I know is going to give all of the information they have, without slants, political or others. Thank you, for everything you do. YOU are loved and appreciated!
AJ should do an episode on the lack of transparency on social media, and the origins and background of content. Starting with TH-cam and Night Talent, the talent management mogul that absolutely dominates mainstream TH-cam channels, operating as the "man behind the curtain" in a real Disney or Blackrock style, playing a large hand in programming TH-cam to make it the soulless brainrot that it is. Channels managed by Night Talent include H3 Productions, Kai Cenat, Hasan Piker, ZHC, Asmongold, Mr. Beast, and.... The Why Files.
I never really gave this channel much respect until i watched a couple of videos properly. They are actually well researched and tend to outline the entire story with some balanced perspectives from the presenter.
This is so well done, I can really appreciate the amount of steps and scripting to complete this, it’s so clever, I mean the whole concept for the show in general. I enjoy these so much!
I’ve watched so much true crime during my life, and during my pregnancy I watched your videos a lot because it was something that didn’t make me more depressed, but still fulfilled my love for the “macabre” and dark. I’m finally watching you again at almost 3 months postpartum and I just wanted to thank you.
It’s never too soon to fit that bundle of joy with their own tinfoil hat 😂 I started mine young! But really, congratulations on your baby and TWF is a great way to relax 😊
I applaud you trying to move on from True Crime. It does horrible things to women's mental health eventually. You can't watch endless content about the absolute worst people that humanity can spit out and keep a healthy attitude to life. Those shows have it down to a fine art, with constant jump cuts etc, they are a dopamine drip no different to doomscrolling on tiktok. I live near an elderly lady that watches nothing but true crime....15 plus hours a day, 7 days a week, for over 20yrs now according to her son. He said its changed her and wrecked her outlook on life. It's one of those ugly parts of our society that never gets called out. It's essentially exploitative murder porn...that all. It has no intrinsic positive value at all, so I'm glad you've started to move on, coz your child will benefit greatly from not having a parent that watches that stuff. There is so much more out there, especially the dark and macabre.
Your channel growth is so well deserved. I feel like this is top tier TH-cam. really feels like TV quality production. Appreciate you and the team, AJ.
I’m getting severe why files withdrawals. Please please please drop the next video as quick as possible. Why files keeps me from losing my mind and one of the reasons to fight when I’m struggling with my demons. Your channel does more than you’ll ever know.
@@sn0fx An explanation would be helpful, even if it's just that they tried to do too much too quickly. TH-cam's avarice has made it so content providers can barely survive. So I don't think people want to unreasonably blame , but we would like some info.
This is one of the few creators on here that I enjoy the content enough that I feel like I should sit through the commercials because they deserve to be sponsored.
I really appreciate that bit about 2 weeks of researching pictures. As I was watching, I was thinking to myself, how long would it take to look through everything there is to be able to debunk this...and you fully answered that question. Which makes you more legit in my eyes. You are a legend sir, and I very much appreciate your OCD! And you take all the time you need to be healthy and happy so you DON'T burn out...we can wait🙏
It's 3.21am in England and I can't sleep 😩 so i pop onto TH-cam, and what do I see, WF upload! Yey😂 so I'm sat up in bed with a camomile tea watching. You folks are awesome👌🏻 ❤
I appreciate you AJ. The fact you put so much time into your researches and doesn’t let us walk away believing fake things are real deserves appreciation.
You and your team are extraordinary. Not only are you treating us with exceptional shows, you even manage to get better all the time… Thank you so much!
Mad respect. I love a good conspiracy, but also love when the presenter is honest enough to show where the story isn't as consistent as it should be. Well researched and presented. You have a new subscriber because of it.
@@AlanMichaelJackson No, you misunderstood me. I mean, you are the only ones who still believe this massive lie. Most of the world knows it's impossible now, definitely impossible now, was impossible in 1969 too.
Just make sure you guys keep doing what you're doing, love you're content but more than that, I love the genuine honesty, no misleading and no narrative to push, refreshing and very much appreciated. Thank you

@@RosinGoblinyou can do it! I went cold turkey last February but then got in a program a couple of months later to help stay clean. Best thing I ever did and it's all done on zoom!
This is what I missed from your recent videos, the cold hard facts, the documents, the interviews, the case files, the actual evidence and then debunking. Amazing job on the debunking research, that's some dedication. Loved the little clips, and B-role type stuff. I hope you continue in this direction again. I honestly just couldn't stand the whole story telling mini movies with all Ai animation. Give me the facts and let me imagine the story part in my mind with the facts. Great job AJ and team.
I want AJ to do the stories that are best for him to present them. He takes a lot of time, research, ect….to bring us these stories. I totally enjoy what he does no matter how he presents things.
There is a reason why channels like yours is so successful. The Ones running then are truly passionate about what they di hence extreme work pressure is like HAVING THE BEST TIME for them ❤🙂 Respect to you for doing the research ypu do specially the KIND thats Actively worked on to Conseal. ✌🏻 I work in the 'Data Management' projects of Govt of India and my work mostly involves Offline anciant deleted damaged and newer refrence claim records about 'subjects' that effects national security. Its a extremely slow and tedious work with lot of stress on back and shouldes 😃. However the things that one can know being in that field of RESEARCH is always worth the hardwork. Yours is my most favorite YT channel.
25:47 and this is why we as your viewers adore you and speaking for myself, you have become the only TH-cam channel that I trust to post fact vs fiction conspiracies, myths, and such. Obviously keeping discernment in mind is a must no matter who you are watching/listening to/reading. But damn you are so committed and we love you for it! But always remember it’s okay to take breaks too 💕 we will still be here
I have watched this episode three times already. I really cant stomach most YTs productions but this channel is pure Gold! Thank you A.J and HeckleFish. I appreciate you so much.😊
I’ve seen all of your TH-cam videos, and greatly appreciate each and every one of them. I’ve missed seeing new videos from you these past couple weeks.
Some people don’t like HeckelFish but I was one person on Reddit who defended him. We need come comic relief on some of the more serious topics you cover!!! Long live HECKELFISH!!!!!
Recently found this channel, just wanna say, you do amazing work, I'm a heavy reader/researcher and it is very rare for me to hear something I've never heard or find information I've never seen, but u manage to do it on topics im very well read on and that's impressive af, I love your channel, your work is enjoyable, and your dedication is 25/10
AJ, please don’t burn out. Your searching of the web to find the fake videos is invaluable. As much as I wanted it all to be true, I’d rather know the truth. Thank you ❤
@@WuTangChopstick I believe in proven facts, and I also understand science very well. My IQ is 131 points and I study constantly, you should even try to find out and study so you don't embarrass yourself. You believe others as ignorant as you are and conspiracy theories without questioning them.
I have so many comments i want to make, but ultimately just having you back, and having a new vlog drop on Halloween is phenomenal and fantastic! What a birthday gift! Please rest up, and avoid any future burn out. We NEED you, AJ ❤

God episodes like this where aj tells us how much went into the episode make me wish i had the money to donate to the channel! Thanks again for an amazing and informative episode! Love you guys!!!
I was stuck in Vermont working without cell phone service. I downloaded everything you made and listened to every episode twice over. Only channel I’ve ever done that
He clipped “TWWOOOO WEEEEEKKKSS” from Total Recall! Every time I hear “two weeks” my head goes there ha ha. Thanks for spending all that time to bring us accurate information. Your dedication shows through in all your efforts. Truly a cut above the rest
AJ TAKE A LONGER BREAK!! We all love you and want you to be happy and comfortable before we want content. For the love of god please make sure you take care of yourself first. You cannot care for us with your amazing content without first making sure you are good first. I know I speak for everyone when I say “we love you, we appreciate you, we will still be here”
My son should work for AJ . He has that same OCD to get it done right. That way we can have a rested AJ . One man should not work himself that hard . Remember Rod Sterling worked himself too hard to make sure it was right on the twilight zone
Thank you for these videos, to the whole team, you are appreciated. I put you guys on while i work and it makes the time just fly by. You are appreciated so much.
The duality of man. Some think we havent even gone to our moon. Others think we've gone to mars' moon. That Buzz Aldron footage saying they/he did is crazy. Can't believe i cant remember seeing/hearing it previously
@elenaraps6612 Yes we did. I watched it all on TV while I was growing up. This video is a bunch of crap. Why hide successful missions to Mars? It makes no sense.
We salute you sir, for that 100 hours of effort for those Apollo pictures. To me that made a huge difference in eviscerating the videos as well as was put together beautifully.
Terrific job guys/gals as always. Props to the whole team and AJ please make time for yourself. I know you love what you do and we love you for it. We just want you to be around as long as possible.
I met one of the guys that was in the control room during the Apollo missions. He was very adamant that we didn’t need to go back to the moon. Zero reasons to land on the moon. He explained it a couple of different ways,but it amounted to ‘ignore the moon and carry on.’ That’s the only relevant info I have. Carry on
@Cherokeeseeker Was this conversation before stories started popping up about scientists discovering that the Moon has Helium-3 deposits or that the Moon would be a way-station for any spacecraft leaving Earth for Mars? It just seems intriguing that the person you met felt that the Moon was pointless in any Martian mission plans.
@ I specifically mentioned using the moon as a base to launch to mars. This was 2010, I think. After taking a couple of runs at going to the moon I relented. Dude was in the control room, so I figured he would know.
I purchased a membership AJ, and after you explained the hours spent just rooting through NASA images and video, I wish I could pay more, but I'm just not capable of any more than what I spend. Sorry, but thank you. I sure hope you keep on keeping on. You are AMAZING and everyone in the club.. we are all part of this machine.. and it will NEVER stop.
You absolutely have the best show on any platform. You'll probably get TV network offers soon. Love the show and thank you to the whole crew for all the hard work. Hecklefish for pres 2024
Thank you and your team for all your hours, days, weeks, and now YEARS put into these amazing videos. These projects have made me open my eyes and mind to sooooo many different ways and changed my perception on life in general
Much love for the team and AJ. Much love to Hecklefish for ... Um... Stuff. Good for him. Glad he and Gurtie are good and love to dance. Keep it rocking when you can Why Files Team, we all support you!
Fun Facts: - The Soviet creators of Sputnik on its 50th Anniversary declassified documents that showed that they hoped that its launch would start a space race, because competition is proven to have more successful results than cooperation, and were hoping that a space race would start to propel human kind further technologically into space. - Kennedy and the Soviets planned a Joint Moon Landing together, since the Soviets already had a Lunar Lander as well, send Rovers to it prior to Apollo, and their N1 rocket was 90% complete. This project unfortunately was scrapped and forgotten by history after LBJ took over, while for the Soviets, they couldn't complete the N1 rocket because Sergei Korolev, the Father of Soviet Cosmos, had died from a stroke. - The Soviets according to their Space Agency archives released after the collapse, showed that they planned since the early 80s to put a man on Mars in 1999.
So happy for you dear!! One day at a time. Almost a full year. Though I know it's hard (and yes I do know) you've gotten thru that hardest part. Keep pushing ... Don't let it win. You got this !!
Thank u AJ . All your hours of Apollo pic searches is appreciated. It's cool to know they research a planet before letting the public know about it. Less disappointment for us. Now we can dream about going to mars for a vacay someday lol. They control weather on earth. Have they tried that tech on other planets? That would be interesting for a video subject.

Considering the meticulous planning that went into the Apollo missions-where every item was carefully weighed and accounted for due to the limitations of the lunar module's capacity and the constraints of life support systems-this act stands out.

Starting with TH-cam and Night Talent, the talent management mogul that absolutely dominates mainstream TH-cam channels, operating as the "man behind the curtain" in a real Disney or Blackrock style, playing a large hand in programming TH-cam to make it the soulless brainrot that it is.
Channels managed by Night Talent include H3 Productions, Kai Cenat, Hasan Piker, ZHC, Asmongold, Mr. Beast, and.... The Why Files.
I never really gave this channel much respect until i watched a couple of videos properly. They are actually well researched and tend to outline the entire story with some balanced perspectives from the presenter.
@@Greg_Burin your comment makes no sense, why did you say until like you was about to say something bad 😂
This is so well done, I can really appreciate the amount of steps and scripting to complete this, it’s so clever, I mean the whole concept for the show in general. I enjoy these so much!
We know this show is scripted what's your point?
@ My point is, I wanted to make a comment about how much I enjoy the show, and gave specific reasons why.
Bro what 😂 @@Mrizing
@@Supercalafragulistic30 okay 👍 so you enjoy watching fiction great and my favorite movie is independence day 1996
@@Mrizing that’s awesome! I love Independence Day! I’ve watched that movie, like, a million times!!!
So happy to have you back! Hope you're feeling good as new.
What was wrong? I missed it.
@seanleecraig AJ had some really intensive dental problems and oral surgery 😳
@@brendahigbee7641 Oh! Is that why he looks a little…sick? I’m worried about him. I thought they finally got him.
@brendahigbee7641 😢😢
Yikes, I can relate!
Yikes! I can relate 😢😢
I’ve watched so much true crime during my life, and during my pregnancy I watched your videos a lot because it was something that didn’t make me more depressed, but still fulfilled my love for the “macabre” and dark. I’m finally watching you again at almost 3 months postpartum and I just wanted to thank you.
Good luck with the baby. It's a difficult time. Always trust your instincts.
Hopefully the baby will be a fan of TWF too 😅
I love watching him, because he brings the macabre to light.
It’s never too soon to fit that bundle of joy with their own tinfoil hat 😂 I started mine young!
But really, congratulations on your baby and TWF is a great way to relax 😊
I applaud you trying to move on from True Crime. It does horrible things to women's mental health eventually. You can't watch endless content about the absolute worst people that humanity can spit out and keep a healthy attitude to life. Those shows have it down to a fine art, with constant jump cuts etc, they are a dopamine drip no different to doomscrolling on tiktok. I live near an elderly lady that watches nothing but true crime....15 plus hours a day, 7 days a week, for over 20yrs now according to her son. He said its changed her and wrecked her outlook on life. It's one of those ugly parts of our society that never gets called out. It's essentially exploitative murder porn...that all. It has no intrinsic positive value at all, so I'm glad you've started to move on, coz your child will benefit greatly from not having a parent that watches that stuff. There is so much more out there, especially the dark and macabre.
Your channel growth is so well deserved. I feel like this is top tier TH-cam. really feels like TV quality production. Appreciate you and the team, AJ.
Your show is my favorite show of all time, hands down! Better than anything on broadcast tv or streaming services.
I like that you still do the chair thing at the beginning of every video.
Yeah he stopped and we complained, lol.
It’s not a WF video without it! ❤❤❤
LOL 😂
One of my favorite parts of the vlog's beginning
I was just wondering what's going to happen when he wears that chair's pneumatic system out and it won't lower anymore. Lol
Why Files tonight. Finally some good news.

@FreeThink1984 Ridiculous comment
I’m getting severe why files withdrawals. Please please please drop the next video as quick as possible. Why files keeps me from losing my mind and one of the reasons to fight when I’m struggling with my demons. Your channel does more than you’ll ever know.
I know the feeling
I know I’ve watched every single video and have nothing new
You think it's even fair to put that pressure on AJ? Maybe you should get help?
@@sn0fx An explanation would be helpful, even if it's just that they tried to do too much too quickly. TH-cam's avarice has made it so content providers can barely survive. So I don't think people want to unreasonably blame , but we would like some info.
@snowmankillz713 have you tried watching 'Thoughty2"? He's identical to the why files. Only difference is, there's no twist, he just tells the story.
The only channel where I will sit through a commercial because AJ and Hecklefish are doing the commercial
Actually sounds useful too. I will look into it.
This is one of the few creators on here that I enjoy the content enough that I feel like I should sit through the commercials because they deserve to be sponsored.
And they're amazing@@ri9z.
I love the commercials I went back and watched it again! 😂 and am tempted to subscribe!
Lol mme too!!
I really appreciate that bit about 2 weeks of researching pictures. As I was watching, I was thinking to myself, how long would it take to look through everything there is to be able to debunk this...and you fully answered that question. Which makes you more legit in my eyes. You are a legend sir, and I very much appreciate your OCD!
And you take all the time you need to be healthy and happy so you DON'T burn out...we can wait🙏
It's 3.21am in England and I can't sleep 😩 so i pop onto TH-cam, and what do I see, WF upload! Yey😂 so I'm sat up in bed with a camomile tea watching.

You and your team are extraordinary. Not only are you treating us with exceptional shows, you even manage to get better all the time… Thank you so much!
Mad respect. I love a good conspiracy, but also love when the presenter is honest enough to show where the story isn't as consistent as it should be. Well researched and presented. You have a new subscriber because of it.

This is what I missed from your recent videos, the cold hard facts, the documents, the interviews, the case files, the actual evidence and then debunking. Amazing job on the debunking research, that's some dedication. Loved the little clips, and B-role type stuff. I hope you continue in this direction again. I honestly just couldn't stand the whole story telling mini movies with all Ai animation. Give me the facts and let me imagine the story part in my mind with the facts. Great job AJ and team.
I want AJ to do the stories that are best for him to present them.
He takes a lot of time, research, ect….to bring us these stories.
I totally enjoy what he does no matter how he presents things.
Thanks!
You're quite welcome I appreciate you watching. And I am grateful for the tip! Your generosity means a lot.
There is a reason why channels like yours is so successful.

25:47 and this is why we as your viewers adore you and speaking for myself, you have become the only TH-cam channel that I trust to post fact vs fiction conspiracies, myths, and such. Obviously keeping discernment in mind is a must no matter who you are watching/listening to/reading. But damn you are so committed and we love you for it! But always remember it’s okay to take breaks too 💕 we will still be here

Good work. Perfect mix of reality altering information and dashed hopes. I love it.
Thank you for all your hard work, it’s truly appreciated ❤
Appreciate your generous tip and support, Adam!
I met one of the guys that was in the control room during the Apollo missions. He was very adamant that we didn’t need to go back to the moon. Zero reasons to land on the moon. He explained it a couple of different ways,but it amounted to ‘ignore the moon and carry on.’ That’s the only relevant info I have. Carry on
@Cherokeeseeker Was this conversation before stories started popping up about scientists discovering that the Moon has Helium-3 deposits or that the Moon would be a way-station for any spacecraft leaving Earth for Mars? It just seems intriguing that the person you met felt that the Moon was pointless in any Martian mission plans.
@ I specifically mentioned using the moon as a base to launch to mars. This was 2010, I think. After taking a couple of runs at going to the moon I relented. Dude was in the control room, so I figured he would know.
@Cherokeeseeker Fair enough... and interesting to know.
I’m pretty stoked for this. Gonna stay up waaaay too late for waking up for work tomorrow to watch this lol! Love the videos! ❤
First time actually getting in early instead of watching older episodes! Love this channel!!
Keep up the good work! I find your programs interesting and intertaining. Full speed ahead.

Best Show on youtube, Hecklefish is a real class act
Fun Facts:
- The Soviet creators of Sputnik on its 50th Anniversary declassified documents that showed that they hoped that its launch would start a space race, because competition is proven to have more successful results than cooperation, and were hoping that a space race would start to propel human kind further technologically into space.
- Kennedy and the Soviets planned a Joint Moon Landing together, since the Soviets already had a Lunar Lander as well, send Rovers to it prior to Apollo, and their N1 rocket was 90% complete. This project unfortunately was scrapped and forgotten by history after LBJ took over, while for the Soviets, they couldn't complete the N1 rocket because Sergei Korolev, the Father of Soviet Cosmos, had died from a stroke.
- The Soviets according to their Space Agency archives released after the collapse, showed that they planned since the early 80s to put a man on Mars in 1999.
