Illuminati Premiere this Friday!

Hello Patrons!

We have a two part video on the Illuminati coming - the first one premieres tomorrow, August 2nd !!

All the fun events will happen as normal - Including inviting all levels to a Live AMA with AJ. I will confirm all the times in the morning.
 



TLDR:

This is for people that want to know what's up. We have had an AMAZING week - our management team came to visit (so we collectively lost a day of production to meetings), we finally received our lifesize AJ Youtooz in studio so I can start planning the launch of the much smaller ones (I am so excited), We sold all but 16 of the Hecklekicks that were left (if you want those - see the message under this one to check for your size availability!) AND I GOT THE NEW COINS IN TODAY!!!! You guys bought the first 500 debut coins up in FOUR hours, so I changed the color of this one on the back and will be numbered 1-1000, and AJ claims he wants to sign them!!! So give me some time and I will get those up on the store and send you guys a link - Patrons will always be FIRST! We already have the design for the next series (of course it's moon based!) and those will be on sale in October (with the return of Hecklefish Plushie!!)
AND THE BIGGEST NEWS : YES!! The picture is of our brand new Assistant Editors!!!!! Brandon (two weeks) and Ryan (just today) are now full force and will really allow AJ to focus on the stories. Nate, our AH-MAZING Head Editor is making this team fly. These guys will be full fledged editors at the speed of light around here! We are beyond excited and you can feel it in the studio.

If you read this far - then let me know if you want a tour of the studio on my phone late this afternoon - say 3PM Pacific? Will walk you around as some of you have requested a new tour since things have changed so much - and get some scoop on upcoming events. I will happily oblige!

A true sincere thank you - to everyone of you. NONE of this could happen without each and every one of you. We are over the moon grateful.

Love and kindness -

Victoria

Director of Chaos

Illuminati Premiere this Friday!

Comments

I think DARPA is my favourite.. the writing is PEAK TWF. But this latest blade runner episode was EPIC. This show, and the community, inspires me so much - thank you, it's really helped me climb out of some unhappy places and put a spring in my step 🪩🐪 On repeat all through the night. SNADOOT SVOLEE TURRRG 🙏❤️🛸🦎👽🌌👋

idoru gibson

Welcome! I just joined & happy to have done so!

Sam

By FAR the best WhyFiles yet! No worries on the delayed release. You want to get it right and you absolutely did. Thank you.

Jennifer Palmer

Not to be a jerk but stop promising release dates just to push them back. I thought the episode might be out last night and being in the East Coast stayed up a little later. It’s not a big deal, but I’d rather you just be late without previously setting a date. Don’t tell me it will be ready until you KNOW it will be ready that day kind of thing. Again not angry but just a little annoying haha

Ham Burger

Welcome to the madness Ryan and Brandon! ❤️

RicanHavoc

Jason where did you binge all episodes? Roku and Prime are not complete episodes? double checked IMDB missing episodes

MaceGoddess

I believe the phrase is "Shut up and take my money!" Thanks!

JohnnyShabazz

I don't want to be a downer, but one of those guys in the chair works for the illuminati. How did you get infiltrated so fast. Beware, watch the Fish!

Kevin Via

Damn missed the tour. AJ yourvoice is very soothing. Binged all your episodes after my heart surgery in ‘22. Helped me sleep and enjoyed the content. It was a very comforting time for me when I was in pain. Now, fully healed, I am a full fledge member and look forward to this new two part episode. Love you Hecklefish and AJ. Keep up the good work.

Jason Greenberg

Tour? YES!

John R Martin

YAY!!!

Ryan Anderson

Can not wait!!!

Ashley

Wait... are you hiring well qualified editors instead of Hooters girls? Isn't that somehow sexist? Hecklefish input please? I am sure the photo shoot would be different. /grin

iNetSpy

Hey guys I'm glad to be part of the club AJ I love what you and your team are doing for the channel thanks for getting involved with your fans and followers I love the content keep it up

Daniel Champagne

allan lansdowne

Would have awesome to work for The Why Files.

Jesse M

Ah man,I do believe I missed it,but as always,big excited for the new stuff to come and hope everything goes good and everyone is happy and healthy 🙏

Patrick Houser

I think the fish has trick AJ to invest more time into merch than content.

Brent Reeves

Nice!! Hopefully that will take some weight off AJ and everyone else. See you guys on Friday!! 🤘🤘

MiseriesChild

Super excited for you! I want to be there Friday and await the deets. Thanks for all the amazing content you provide! 🤗

Jennarose W Johnson

Man Victoria I always miss when you're doing stuff it seems. Sorry I missed out on today's festivity I'll be around for tomorrow to be sure. Can't wait for the next episode. And I'm definitely getting a coin signed with my new YouuTooz when it comes in. ☺️

Mark Rizzo

I love seeing the editing side of things. Dudes should do tutorial videos. And then I realize how silly that sounds🤣🤣with what time!? When could they do possibly have the time to do that 🤣🤣much Love WF team.

TyBlee

I’m so jealous I wish I worked for the Human AJ - honestly sounds fun. My experience: game designer, song writer, Grammy nominated assistant sound engineer (kinda a joke but one album I worked on got nominated I just set up the mics and instruments) and twitch streamer …. Just normal dude who interested in mystery and science…. Oh also HUGE Brian Wilson beach boys fan

Chris Conlan

Panspetmia

John W

Awwww!! ❤️❤️❤️

Chel

I'm in the uk 🇬🇧 so I can't see there being a tour here but good luck and best wishes to all involved in the show it just goes from strength to strength 💪 💜

Crazywolf63

Congrats to your new editors! And I’m excited about this episode! This is one of my favorite conspiracies, truth be told I don’t think it’s much of conspiracy anymore. I think more and more people are beginning to understand how this world is being ran. They say the year 2024 is the year of truths, I think a lot of things have been unveiled this year, I also think there’s a lot more to come. I feel like by the year 2027 we will see the project blue beam and this nation will fall along with many others. This has been the plan the whole time. This did not begin in the 40’s either, I feel like this was set in place thousands of years ago.

Stardyncer

CHAOS is Get Smart. Man From Uncle battled THRUSH

Bosco Lemonzit

How do I get the passcode to the patreon site? And yes, I'm a patreon.

Frank Mahon

I'm so ready for the coin!! Need that #2 coin! Thanks Victoria!

Bob Jonas

The only real chaos in life is that which is self generated. The WF is beyond brilliant 🤩, take your time and what is and what will be, will be 👊

Mac McGuckien

Condolences. I'm being genuine when I say you can still talk to your partner about the show. I found myself talking to my father about stuff after he passed, and it helped me get through some serious crap. He never replied, of course, so I knew I was right lol.

Coleman J. Rimer

Yay! Friday night date with The Why Files!!!!

Skinny Piglet

Hello everyone Why files are a double edge sword right now my partner and I loved watching shows she passed away in Jan suddenly im finding it difficult to watch the shows I do watch them it’s just different now I don’t have anyone to share with me I loved talking about the shows discussing back in forth I miss that AJ You don’t realize until it’s to late when your love of your life suddenly passes My advice is tell your other half that you love them very much and give them a big hug and a kiss You should go this every day Don’t ever talks for granted your other half don’t put anything off But please today when you see your better half’s lol tell them you love them very much and give them a big hugs 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Steve Gold

QuantumSledgehammer

SandyK1014

Parousium

Director of chaos. I love that title Victoria. :-) So glad you guys got a couple of newbies on the block to take up some of the load. 😊

Mark Rizzo

No more compilation episode? 😔

Kenneth J

Would love a tour! 1am our time zone so will try to be awake!

Adrienne Mora

The tour sounds interesting; I'll see you at 6PM Eastern Time!

Paul D Berkebile

Until some of the regulars at the AMA mentioned that I realized it has been a long time and a lot of fast moving ones on the AF you can't really "see"

The Why Files

Director of Chaos and Footrubs 🫡

Adrienne Mora

If the link does not work it's LG 35" Class UltraWide Curved WQHD HDR10 Monitor and they are $350 at Costco

The Why Files

I get them at Costco - let me see if there is a link.... https://www.costco.com/lg-35-class-ultrawide-curved-wqhd-hdr10-monitor.product.100695387.html

The Why Files

An updated tour would be cool to see, it's been a while since AJ has done one before the Afterfiles.

Lee Payne (LRP)

That's fantastic news!!!!!!!

Amy Dryden

Yes, I would love a tour!

Pearl E

Yes!! We want a NICE one though so have been looking for a good maker!

The Why Files

Oh!! I bet I'm gonna need the shirt! Or ONE of the illuminaughty shirts!

Carol Williamson

And we love you for that!

Carol Williamson

All Hail Discordia!

Anthony P

CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!

Vermillion Kingpin

That dude is off doing who knows what and will only come in for recordings, which we have done - video in late stage editing now.

The Why Files

Hope to see you!!!!!!! Thank you!!

The Why Files

SO ARE YOU - thanks for being an annual supporter!!! You rock!!

The Why Files

I LOVE when those of you (The Cool Kids Club) know me from the AMA and Hangout's early 30 min before AJ joins - as I am told I write like I talk ;-) Love you Siblye

The Why Files

I can picture you using the moniker with your pinky. Pushed against your bottom lip.

Kevin Heidler

I love it when someone gets a reference ... also from Elon Musk "Chief Twit, Director of Chaos" when he first took over Twitter - but mainly because Jen blessed me with the title and it's pretty fitting. ;-)

The Why Files

Simulation - I swear I already answered this exact comment lol... Jen blessed me with it on a tumbler - I kinda love it

The Why Files

Tour please.

Tonya Wright

Can't tell you how much I have had to pause spelling Illuminati this past few weeks on the production schedule LOL

The Why Files

Love the deep dives into the risky subjects. We got your back AJ

Andrew Ellis

Love a tour. Just one question: where can I get a super-wide monitor like that?!

JohnnyShabazz

OMFGGGGGGGGGGG elmopanicking.gif

Natalie Graham

I KNOW!!!!! We love when we can do different times and catch you guys - we have so many in Australia - I need to look what would be a good time and have an Over the Pond AMA for you guys!!

The Why Files

That is AWESOME 😎 Wonder what it would take to get Funko Pop to do an AJ and Hecklefish?

Vince In Houston

If you disappear now we know why

Knowone

NOOOOO... absolutely NOT. If you haven't noticed - TV is dead and we love being our own bosses.... we answer only to our Patrons!!!

The Why Files

I understand if you can't. Kudos for checking though. 👍

Vince In Houston

The community is THE REASON we are here - without you guys, no one is watching (and they didn't for over a year) so believe me - we do everything we can around you guys!!!!

The Why Files

I will see if I can do it via screen record and get on backstage - but no promises!! We can't record on discord.

The Why Files

This is great!

Kristin Wright

Not a bad idea ...........

The Why Files

Do you think you will make a Hecklefish pendant in the future, to be used on a necklace? That would be awesome!

Amy Dryden

Noice!

!!@@Tomasz Mis@@!!

I would love a tour! 😳

Brenda H

It's absolutely a requirement for our employees!!! This feels like a gift from all our hard work ... (and for over a year no one watched even with hard work!!) we need people that appreciate that without our community - we have nothing!

The Why Files

Illumi-naughty tomorrow! Hopefully, AJ and Hecklefish are in a secure location!

SGTquig

The After Files will depend on how tired AJ is - he did an all nighter last night, and last week he stayed 4 hours on the AMA ... so I included all levels incase that happened again ;-)

The Why Files

🥳🤩

Dano Tanaka

Michael (and Mike) with Night Management - they work tirelessly to get us sponsors and opportunities we would not have without them!

The Why Files

That would work…lol

Michael Goad

Perfect

John Sheridan

well ... you have been here for soooooo long ..... lucky 7?

The Why Files

Would love to see where the magic happens

Justin Barber

Rock on!! Lizzidnaighty here I come!!

Lisa Brandel

Awesome

Jason Clouse

We need video of that too!!! LOL!!!

Steve O

Will Hecklefish be available without his tinfoil hat?

Jessica

Back at you!

The Why Files

Why not both? ;-)

The Why Files

Jen and I have been dancing around here like crazy - this is going to make SO MUCH difference!

The Why Files

Director of Chaos, you rock; you are definitely appreciated. Yes to the tour.

Jigsaw

Chocolate for me ;-)

The Why Files

Tour sounds fun Vic!! Congratulations on the new guys!

C.Hopper5

He was soooo embarrassed - he still can't believe this is all happening! Couldn't happen to a NICER more deserving, hard working dude!!! (this is Victoria, NOT AJ lol)

The Why Files

Also, your posts make me smile. I read them in your voice in my head and can feel the excitement!

Sibyle

CHAOS. Wasn't that Man from Uncle?

Tim Schmidt

Always ;-)

The Why Files

Can't tell you how much I have to pause every time I write it the "wrong" way ;-) Illuminati feels weird now!

The Why Files

I love it all and yes to the tour!

Sibyle

It sucks to be in the other side of the world (Australia) and never able to make the live streams… …but that doesn’t stop me from being a patron-and it’s been SO awesome to watch you guys grow every day and to watch the world discover you. Be safe, be kind, and know you-are appreciated Thank you Why Files 😊

Chel

Yes - that's true. They cost so much to ship internationally and if lost in the mail we end up paying more than the coin costs to replace ;(

Director of chaos sounds like a bond villain.

Kevin Heidler

Fantastic news!! I’m excited for the premiere tomorrow. And yes, a tour would be a lot of fun. Thank you!!

Andrew Lader

Illuminaughty*

SomeoneShouldSayThis

Awesome this should be a good one !!! Finally bought some merch from the store after being extremely broke the last year and a half. I said screw it I need some Why Files Swag. I have to support my favorite YouTube Content Creators!!! Literally better than 90% of ANYTHING on TV . Jack Osbourne is great , Expedition Unknown / X probably get a lot of hate but Skinwalker Ranch and Blind Frog Ranch are great I.M.O. I have an interesting question 🤔 If A.J. and crew could turn TWF into a 45 min weekly TV show for Discovery Channel or History Channel would you guys and gals do it? Thanks for all you guys/gals do much love from Adam Pappy Koehler and Wife Cheri Cola .

Adam (Pappy) Koehler

Yay!! I'm so glad things are getting better for you guys!! You all deserve it very much, I hope you never forget what a beautiful community you have cultivated around this channel. That means so much to a lot of us so thank you! For everything you do for us!

Carol Williamson

Love to see the studio walk thru - that would be great and a nice bridge to Friday

Mike Robinson

Make sure those coins are available outside of the states this time huh?

Scott 'Spooky' Madison

Would love a new tour! Super excited for all the good stuff going on, will definitely grab a coin this time around!

Len Forgione

Last time I couldn't find the coins in the shop, and several people said that they weren't available outside the US. Is that true?

BushkaBlue

Oh beautiful. This will be a good one.

Scott 'Spooky' Madison

Your success is well-earned

Maff Bowers

Director of Chaos? As in Get Smart?!?! 😉 Where are 86 and 99?! Edit - lifesize AJ Youtooz? Am I missing something? I look forward to seeing a tour. Will it be saved and posted in case some of us miss it? I plan to be there, but it will be like 11pm in the UK here. (I may not be firing on all cylinders by then) If not, it's cool. (Sooo many questions, sorry) Thanks for everything 😀

Vince In Houston

👁️⏩🔮!

Celebrated Razorworks

A tour would be great, thank you. 😁

Shanon Freeman

Maurizio De Nichilo

I thought maybe that was the first-known photo of the Illuminati’s unknown bunker! What does “our management team came to visit” mean? Isn’t that you guys and isn’t AJ always there? Well of course we want a tour. : -)

MikeD

Yes I would love a tour. Also I really need a personal shout out for the new challenge coins. I’m trying to get into the first 10… lol

Michael Goad

Michael West

Looking forward to it all!! We have a lot to look forward to! Thank you guys for letting us know! Now I am not sure if I want to be Lizzid peeple or illuninaughty. Can I be both?

Lisa Brandel
