24/7 Live Chat on Backstage Channel!
Added 2025-03-08 02:21:37 +0000 UTCHappy Weekend Patrons!
We had a patron ask for access to a live chat on YouTube... we did a 24/7 livestream all last weekend and it was a hit! It was amazing to go on there at any time and see so many from this community. The videos play randomly, but it's really more about connecting with each other.
It was hurting the algorithm for the main channel, so I moved it to the Backstage Channel. You can find the live stream HERE this weekend!
Hope to see you all there! Enjoy the community - we truly have the kindest people.
Thank you, AJ & Hecklefish

Hey AJ how come I can’t comment on the 24 hour live video on YouTube ? It says I have to be a subscriber but I have been for years now !!

2025-04-02 23:21:57 +0000 UTCI just signed up on YouTube in addition to patreon I so enjoy your channel I have no problem with that I'm just frustrating it's going to take 7 days to kick in... I just want to say how much I love this 24-hour format I've been checking in and out catching the different episodes... I really enjoy but most important it's giving me a break to all the political BS thank you I enjoy compulation too mostly for the same reason... it gets me away from the political program it's so disturbing In addition to the Why Files also enjoy watching the videos from Tom Cruise cult... These people have shown amazing courage you check them out Thanks for the wonderful programs

2025-03-19 02:52:17 +0000 UTCHey AJ I am watching the 24-hour live on YouTube for many hours now and I am a paid subscriber. For some reason it will not let me join in the live chat on YouTube. What's up with that????

2025-03-09 03:32:36 +0000 UTCI’m late! Love love love you guys! High point of my day!
Cindy Lambrecht
2025-03-09 02:15:51 +0000 UTCYeah... it gets wild over there. Haha I just ignore them 😀 I like rumble because I can shut my screen off and it still plays :)
MIKΞL
2025-03-09 01:02:29 +0000 UTCNot now. The chats get too political
The Why Files
2025-03-09 00:39:22 +0000 UTCYes a whole different channel.
The Why Files
2025-03-09 00:38:58 +0000 UTCThere is always going to be a new video! Soon.
The Why Files
2025-03-09 00:38:16 +0000 UTCWe were dark by tech mistake late our time but you must be a channel sub to chat.
The Why Files
2025-03-09 00:37:46 +0000 UTCWe had only two hours when I set it up. I will check what it is. But to keep it civil, we only allow subs to chat.
The Why Files
2025-03-09 00:37:07 +0000 UTCOnly on YouTube. The comment sections are too crazy on anything but YT.
The Why Files
2025-03-09 00:36:16 +0000 UTCHi there. Unless you follow up with emails to Victoria, we just are going too fast. I honestly don’t recall anyone asking that and we have only done it for one person so far. (He didn’t ask)
The Why Files
2025-03-09 00:35:29 +0000 UTCNo. That’s totally different. They have none of the perks patrons do. Membership allows their names to be green … so we can see them in a sea of people. Here, we try to see every comment and interact more. No need to have a membership if you are a Patron. We see you. Thank you for your support. YouTube takes most of the fee over there but favor channels with membership turned on. We didn’t want it.
The Why Files
2025-03-09 00:33:07 +0000 UTCThe 24/7 got my wife hooked and I love it! I've been a paid member here for a few months and bought a year membership. She's always gone to bed watching Forensic Files. I think if I fell asleep to hearing the " the DNA gathered from the molar found in the burn barrel in Ted's back yard was the proof they were looking for..." I would have gone insane. I was watching the 24/7 and when we went to bed, I was floored when she told me to put The Why Files on. Now that's her bedtime show! I do have to buy her a Hecklefish plushie now, but it's well worth it!
Randy Batteas
2025-03-08 23:45:27 +0000 UTCSupporting you here. But now must on yt also?
Brett Lowder
2025-03-08 22:34:54 +0000 UTCThank you - this is a great service to your community.
Mary A. Phillips
2025-03-08 21:02:39 +0000 UTCHey WhyFiles. I’m a little upset. I purchased the Talking Hecklefish Plushy, and I remember asking during the AMA if you guys can please autograph it. It was not signed, but I would still love the autographs of everyone of the Why Files crew if possible. How do I go about this
Peter Conde
2025-03-08 17:30:37 +0000 UTCAre you / were you subscribed to the Backstage Channel? If not, that’s probably why you can’t chat. Even if you subscribed yesterday, there’s likely a two or three week waiting period before you can chat, as there is on the main channel.
MikeD
2025-03-08 12:52:14 +0000 UTCI've been watching on Rumble too It was live with no timer but last night it showed 14hrs and some change Is it will the rumble stream be live?
Grumpy Old Dude
2025-03-08 12:49:12 +0000 UTCI can't get on the live stream
Karl poff
2025-03-08 09:26:11 +0000 UTCOk tried to join 24/7 on you tube I could see people chatting but I had no video and couldn't chat, hmmm
Karl poff
2025-03-08 09:15:38 +0000 UTCSweet, sweet Why Files :)
Pintius
2025-03-08 07:48:54 +0000 UTCGood stuff! I turned it on while working/reading and just had it on mute. Sometimes I can only listen to the videos, so when I look over and see pictures or videos I don’t recognize, it’s cool. 😁
Andrew Dorre
2025-03-08 04:43:21 +0000 UTCI love the 24/7 live streams
Jacob Doyle
2025-03-08 03:54:51 +0000 UTCSo is there going to be a new video?
Kspar
2025-03-08 03:48:00 +0000 UTCYes, it is the only thing I've been watching. I love it.
JEFF MAC
2025-03-08 03:33:49 +0000 UTCThank you so much for putting it back up!

2025-03-08 03:14:47 +0000 UTCAwesome, my wife and I REALLY enjoyed the 24 hour stream so we're both glad it's back!! Best to everyone in the community and on The Why Files team!! ❤️

2025-03-08 03:05:04 +0000 UTCThis looks rad! Thanks!
PICKETT
2025-03-08 02:47:24 +0000 UTCIs why files backstage a different sub? I'm also a patron of the 7 dollar one. I was gifted a monthly sub on the last very long live from last Saturday
Jacqueline loaiza
2025-03-08 02:39:04 +0000 UTCThe algorithm should love and prioritize you as much as we do!
Ann Cook
2025-03-08 02:34:22 +0000 UTCGoing to stream it on Rumble again too? Loved it :)
MIKΞL
2025-03-08 02:29:56 +0000 UTCLove the Episodes and the comps. They are on a good part of the day and night! 💕
Joanie Yannotti
2025-03-08 02:29:23 +0000 UTCLove this and love you guys! 💖
Travis Helms
2025-03-08 02:26:37 +0000 UTCI’ll be working so I won’t be able to partake, but I have a suggestion. Do you think maybe you guys could get a plastic fishbowl manufactured for the heckle fish? He’d really like to have a bowl of his own.😀🐠
Judy
2025-03-08 02:26:36 +0000 UTCThanks!
Zaniyah Miles
2025-03-08 02:25:33 +0000 UTCI suspected it might be hurting the algorithm. Glad you figured out an alternative solution. I still believe it might be best to limit it to no more than once a month on a weekend.

2025-03-08 02:25:24 +0000 UTCWe've been watching it for days. Thanks A.J and Hecklefish
Bonita Lopez
2025-03-08 02:25:24 +0000 UTCLoving the triathlons of Why Files run time. Being in Australia in a different time zone really doesn’t matter if we can chime in any time. Love your work and commitment to your community!
Gavin Evans
2025-03-08 02:25:09 +0000 UTCHi guys love the show!❤️
