Oops... wrong thread. Ignore

Mark Branscum

Mind blown!!! Excellent research and storytelling as usual. And the production values were spectacular; absolutely top tier quality that puts pretty much everyone else to shame! I've watched a lot of AI generated videos, but this is by far the most appropriate and effective use of AI videos I've seen so far. Finally, someone is using the technology as an effective creative tool instead of just a curiosity. Well done! Every episode just keeps getting better!

Mark Branscum

I watch Shawn Ryan. I had never heard of you before. I am basically binge watching your shows now and just subscribed to a Patreon membership. I really love your work

Janene Catalano

Patreon Membership discount not working in the store. Or am I stupid?

Michael Murphy

I think I answered you below or someone else had the same question in the comments on another post - stay tuned. Hecklefish is looking.

The Why Files

Hey AJ! have you ever thought of HeckleFish getting his own show? we would all love that! let me know what you all think!

Lucas Koeneman

Will Mel's Hole shirts come back in stock? I need more magic seal fetus!

Jason Kumorek

Do you think we could talk? -Mike

Mike Chadwick

I am a 20 year veteran and I have really interesting information for you. Something you will absolutley love

Mike Chadwick

AJ - been a member and supporter of you and Fish Brains for a long time. I love your videos... Saw a post for a survey to get rid of Hecklefish. - Please do not. I love his humor. I changed cards and I think I missed a month so I updated my payment method. All the best! And... thank you very much for everything you do.

Jeremy McVicar

AJ I was wondering if you seen those other Goof Balls cutting into your platform? Well don't worry about them , they are driving more towards ages 20 - 30 it looks like they did take an episode and put their twist on it , but what in the name of "The Dude" man you must have pissed someone off because it looks like these jokers have a backer, or they have rich family ties; if use know what i'm talking about. thank you everyone with Team Why Files except the mole .

Robert Reichert

First for me. This is the only paid podcast site I have ever joined. AJ and Hecklefish hooked me on YT. It's going to be more fun now.

Daniel Hixson

This one is happy, can't you see joy in my eyes 👀

Robert Reichert

Hi Amy - most all of our Patrons are in the US - so we try to change it up here and there to catch the overseas folks - there is just no good time all the time!

The Why Files

Hey AJ is there any way you could change time schedules for your AMA and hangouts ect. With being in the UK half the time I can't make these meetings and it's a shame much love AJ 😍

Amy Bennett

Hi Lily - have enjoyed seeing you around here since you joined. We have some fun stuff coming up and our little break is almost over! Thank you for being here.

The Why Files

Risky indeed and will think on how we can do this one!

The Why Files

Hey there - we have something in the works for Hecklefish's singing .... and we have been thinking of a Hecklefish only episode, but waiting for the right one to come along. Really appreciate you and love seeing you be such an active member in the Live chat. I helped with the poll for the names, but worried it was going to be divided!! Take care too.

The Why Files

Hey Aj, i just had 2 interesting ideas, and i wanted to share them. Since the Lizzid Lounge (thats what the 24/7 Stream is being called), i thought that maybe at some point in the future, we could get some full covers of songs done by Hecklefish. For example: instead of "Dancing in the Moonlight", it could be "Dancing in the Fishbowl", and instead of "Night Fever, Night Fever", we could get a full blown version of "Nice Beaver, Nice Beaver". and they could play at certain points in the livestream. just a fun idea. Another fun little idea is having hecklefish do a short episode all by Himself. It could literally be anything. A story from his life, a fun topic (such as Lizzid People, moon landings, or something else). just a fun idea. I also wanted to tell you i really enjoy lots of your original videos. I think of it as a Way for everyone to see where you started, and where you are now. like a digital time capsule. Happy to be apart of the Lizzid Family, and as always Take Care.

TheCuriousNoggin

I think (and this will get some heckling from Hecklefish!) that you should do a full dedicated episode on all the suppressed technologies that could have solved the "climate crisis"! I was just watching the live stream with the list of bumped off inventors and I think that would really blow up, though it could be a risky one!

Katy Pilkington

Hey AJ! Hey hecklefish! I just wanted to say that I’m super exited I just joined and can’t wait for what’s coming up next! I love your guys videos and my favorite one is AI + DNA = Apocalypse! Thanks for listening! (●’◡’●)ノ

lily fitzgerald

Good news I have been able to order a plushie using a USA third party warehouse that then sends me the package to New Zealand so he's on the way!

Jay Barnett

I think u should do an episode on how there’s pillars bellow the pyramids I saw it on YouTube and podcasters and YouTubers are talking about it!

lily fitzgerald

I agree with the pyramids of Giza!!! 15min ones are good. The pyramids of Giza pillars going deep underground... Ancient civilization or aliens? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14569317/Egypt-Giza-pyramid-underground-city-discovery.html Malaysia flight 370 transportated to another dimension?? See this satellite video of the airplane going through a wormhole... https://youtu.be/mxJhHyusOps?si=fKCZp8NtxNtOp4k6 Debunk that??

Mercedez

I just ran across a snippet on the "Kara Hora Shaft", seems to be associated with some sort of pyramid structure, Would like to learn more. May make a good Episode!

Les Clemens

Hi Jay, Go to the WF store, hit the 3 lines top left and select 'In-House' and it will pop up.

Jason and Mindy

Posters! Great idea. I would buy some.

Jason and Mindy

AJ, is this new pyramid discovery for real? We need an investigation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqCudopAz64

Dan Millikan

Hiya, I joined so I could buy a hecklefish plushie but not available? Will they be available again? Cheers!

Jay Barnett

Glad to have you on board and love the name!

The Why Files

Hey AJ and Hecklefish, just joined. Been watching you guys for awhile. Got some friends to start watching, hopefully they will join

CerealKiller

Agreed...a small but perfectly formed Hecklefish - something tasteful and classy.

Kat

Glad I joined here. Hi from Australia

Angela Spray

I would love a miniature figurine of Hecklefish, like the one you put with the AJ YouTooz. I want to make a Why Files shadow, and a figurine of Hecklefish, in or out of the bowl, would be great! Also, any updates on the Hecklefish pendant necklaces? Thank you!!

Amy Dryden

Idea for a poster, I would like a Mount Hayes 16x20 poster. I'd pay $10 for it. Also if you sold framed posters $25-30 would be a reasonable price.

Tim Phistry

💀💀💀 Not sure how you will make it work and look right but I'm in.

¡Kori_Lane!

We are still working on one but have not had one that does look like a shower cap or a pile of dog poop on the head ;-)

The Why Files

The shipping cost for print on demand to the UK and Australia is EMBARRASSING for us - we are working hard to get printers over there. We do not control their costs, but have given them a time limit to work it out.

The Why Files

The patreon merch is BOSS! So many great ideas so many great shirts... i like the darker stuff myself. I'm a huge believer in simulation theory but I know it to be true as a more Organic thing. In other words, the "computer/computing" behind it all isn't made of hardware as we know it, it's organic energy making up the "circuits". Kind of like information flowing and computing without the need or use of physical circuit boards at true instantaneous speed. It's like that scene, (BTTF2) Marty McFly telling Doc Brown "We don't have enough road to get up to 88" and Doc replying "Roads? Where we're going we don't need Roads"... the simulation doesn't need hardware/storage/wires/operators.

Lucas Theroux

"Snitches get stitches..." lol

Chief Fino

I Wonder What Happened To Space Panda 🐼? I Have A Weird Feeling Hecklefish Had Something To Do With His Disappearance! 😂

Robert Messina

Just want to add this as a new member of Patreon and ordering my first why files illuminate t shirt, I ABSOLUTELY CANT GET YOUR SONG OUT OF MY HEAD AT THE END OF YOUR VIDEOS 🤣🤣🤣 I LOVE THE SONG ITS BRILLIANT AND THE SINGER IS AWESOME OH AND CATCHING AJ HAVING HIS JIG HERE AND THERE LOL. I want it as my ringtone it’s a proper EAR WORM 🤣🤣 a good one though ☝️

Tony Jones

I ordered the illuminati triangle grey t shirt it looks so good, price was great but the shipping to me over in the uk is very high it literally doubled the price, I did hear somewhere that the shipping cost to the uk was high but forgot lol. But I’m sure I’ll find that it’s well worth it when I receive my the why files exclusive t shirt.😊 and I’ll know nobody will have this t shirt where I live haha so that’s awesome.thank you for giving all of us fans quality content and exclusive content from Patreon I am now a member 😊👍 thank ya AJ and heckle fish your awesome, and not forgetting the rest of the team ur amazing too kind regards Tony from across the pond 👊

Tony Jones

Hey team, what services can I use to buy the Hecklefish plushie outside of the US? Really want to buy one. Thank you =)

Rothschild

Is the new tinfoil hat on Heckles tank a prototype? Did it work?

¡Kori_Lane!

new episode? ama?

Lucas Koeneman

We are looking into more keychains now!

The Why Files

Hecklefish is the best

Katie Kruger

Ordered 2 hecklefish plushies...supposed to be delivered today. Looking forward to checking them out!

Gareth Ridout

Just got my heckle fish! I love him!

Kristi

We can't keep either in stock - you got the to hottest items! Really appreciate your support.

The Why Files

Nothing matters without viewers!!!! Thanks!!

The Why Files

Just got my heckle fish, it's even better then I thought. The care put into it was so nice I love that you care so much about us all 🫶🏻

Charlie Massey

I got my Hecklefish Plushie as well, much more than I expected, Very Nice! And I also got my Lizzid Peeple mug! It's HUGE! Loving it!

Les Clemens

Got my Heckle Fish! So stoked! Thank you AJ, Heckle, and everyone for the joy that is The Why Files! Out of curiosity will I be able to trade you $ for the Keychain Heckle in the future? Either way thank you!

Ak2

I must have missed them. Thank you so much :)

Jessicalynn Rogers

We have two beanies - here is the WF logo (and there is an Illuminaughty one - just search "beanie" in the store https://shop.thewhyfiles.com/products/twf-logo-waffle-beanie?_pos=2&_sid=97bdf4211&_ss=r

The Why Files

Hi there - we are not currently shipping from the studio to international addresses. There are services that will procure the product for you and send it. We have kept print on demand international despite the costs. We are a small team and just can't handle it or the cost of lost packages ;(

The Why Files

Hi, is it possible to buy the Hecklefish Plushie at the moment? (I'm in the UK) I can't see it in the store.

Jon

Maybe you should think about adding beanies, hats, or other types of headgear to the store. I've been wearing beanies since the Leukemia diagnosis, and would love to sport some TWF love on those rare occasions I leave the house.

Jessicalynn Rogers

We retired it but I can put it up for you and give you a link. Give me until Monday at worse please! :-)

The Why Files

Looking for a snitches get stitches mug ❤️ Will there be more coming?

Carolyn Russell

I love beavers.

Deirdre a greene

I love that HF has good taste in music! I love all his references. Awesome writing.

Lisa Gallego

Haha! I should have assumed that!

Lori Marshall

Ha!!!! I was wondering if someone had something crazy going on. We should give away and make people choose which one on the lives!! You KNOW #beaver is outpacing the other 3 combined!! 🤭😂

The Why Files

No, I saw the shirts as the "final 4" and was curious which Team 'won' by selling the most :)

Lori Marshall

What do you mean "won"? Did you see something you thought we were giving them away?

The Why Files

Will you be announcing who won the Big Game thirt sales, Team Beaver, Human, Camel, or Goldfish?!

Lori Marshall

Nope not had a reply. Checked junk folder and deleted emails

Mike McNeill

Hi Mike!! Erik answers them every morning … you are welcome to email him at erik@thewhyfiles.com

The Why Files

Was sent via the website

Mike McNeill

I sent a message/question about the store last week and still not had a reply.

Mike McNeill

hey i enjoy this i stumbled by accident i think idk but here i am me and my little bit female companion puppy gift from god

Sean Brickey

Extremely good!

The Why Files

you could do an episode about Odin the Allfather and the story of how he fathered Ragnar Lofbrok (Lothbrok) then follow the genetics of Odin through the ages I know one line, through Ivar the Boneless lead to Somerled great Scottish Viking warrior and then through the Donnachaid Clan in Scotland which my line hailed from, The MacDougals. I'm willing to do a 23 and me test to find out if I have Odin Genes in me, I do have something weird for sure . . . lol

Douglas Dobson

What are the chances of a few conspiracy episodes once/if the JFK/RFK/MLK files get released?

Susi Su

Hi there - when you signed up and picked your level the benefits are listed there. We invite the Flounders every so often so they can see what they are like ... but Koi and up get invited weekly.

The Why Files

I recently found the why files on you tube and idk how I didnt find out about it before. i had to take a break from my research because it was having an affect on me. but I reseached all these topics and forbidden knowledge for over 27 years and it is a breath of fresh air to have you guys. i had to become a member after seeing these shows. i am proud now to be a member and i hope to get higher up in tiers of my membership. i could only afford the 3$ level. AJ you are the most awesome fkn guy man i have to give it to you. you can tell a story like none other. i enjoy you guys thoroughly and i trust you and feel that you do all that you can to reveal the truth for us and i truly commend you for your work and the extent that you go to do this. you guys surely are doing the lords work as the veil will be lifted. thank you from the bottom of my heart for covering all this stuff. i would love to see if there is any new information on the fallen angels and antarctica thing. and the afghanistan flyiing time machine vimana and wether that was real or not. it says that military soldiers disappeared tryiing to remove it from the cave. but anyway. again thank you guys. this is so good that you are doing this. we all need to stick together because thisw government is not doing shit for us. beware the day they try to take our guns. that was the last thing hitler did before commiting genocide. but i pray for all of you and the members that know of this stuff and the ones who are skeptics in the process of haviung their eyes opened, I ask that the lord bless why files crew and the patreons and fans and even those who arent members. may the lords powerful hand kill and remove any siickness, disease, or any foreign intruders that may be in your body and give long and healthy life. i ask that your warrior class angels wage war and destroy any war any of us might be facing before we even face it. i ask that the angels left to cushion each and every step towards success and the completion of your goals AMEN!! WHY FILES I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

(Slum) erican4Life

Just watch your email and check back often. The live chats are posted (usually) a few days prior. Mostly on Friday and Saturday. See you there.

Don Stewart

how do I get permission to participate in other group chats on this Why Files discord and Patron -please ???

She DMontford

YES!!! We put a preorder out and I am about to send an update on that - but we will shout from the hilltops for Patrons because we thought we ordered enough but the pre-order has been crazy .. that order hasn't arrived and I am putting in another order today! It's been taking SO LONG from China lately!!

The Why Files

Thank you Soo much for your time

Gary Salih

Yes! They are currently in transit and expect them late January - we are taking pre-orders since so many just wanted theirs saved. YOu are fine to wait - we should have plenty now for demand. I will make a big announcement when he hits the studio!

The Why Files

Me tooooo lol. He is just to funny lol

Gary Salih

Hi guys, love the show watch all the time. Are you getting more talking hecklefish plushies???

Gary Salih

Mitchell Smith: I will tell you what I have told my children since they were old enough to wonder, and I will tell my granddaughters when they wonder if their mom doesn't tell them first. Santa is real, in our hearts we all want to give to others and see their joy in sharing gifts. Yes, some do come from unknown places (the back of a red flying sleigh), but others come from the people we know and love, and the friends we care about. Every smile on Christmas is proof that Santa lives in every one of us. Now, you know, you are a little bit Santa. Blessings

Walba Threadkiller

Great Show! We love the shows about Alaska, guess because we live here. Although most folks in AK don't go too far walking around without some form of protection, 44Cal and up, lol. But overall the AK community is really friendly. Keep up the super show! PS, yes we all or mostly live in homes not Igloo's, lol.

Salcha

Do you really want to know??? I don't think so. Anyway, if AJ did do the story, it might end up that Santa is actually an orange talking fish. Nobody wants that....

Les Clemens

Wait, Santa is REAL? When I turned 40, my parents told me Santa didn't exist! We need a WF on Santa.

Mitchell Smith

OK it's Christmas eve. Hope you and yours an have the best holiday possible! And for all you WhyFilers, Santa is real.. No need for any research!

Les Clemens

The above idea is really good with the Mega trees. There’s a mention of a mega trees in the finnish saga of wainamoen. Some people call these giant animals and giant plants monumentials. Is it OK if I send you a collection of books? They’re new from Amazon, all from the same author and they detail a lot of information which you might call a conspiracy. I got them for you because me and my family think you would like them.

Tyler Finn

Wishing for an in depth look into the giant trees/gigas cedars, and what the oxygen levels were like back then, alongside the nitrogen levels. I'm hoping for a lot of videos on things now that I can "see" again. Some gigas cedars exist still in the far north and potentially the far south, depending on how you may view the shape of the earth, of course. Just a reference to the be all end all, of information, called Black Rock. Which is at 0°N... 40° N and 40°S parallel do not generally exist on the maps, and when it does, it's the nos confunden map, predating the peiri reise map of 1512. So much seems connected, and if anyone can help put the pieces together for a sensible way to understand where it all went astray, it'd be AJ!!! Well, and of course hecklefish, the great! :D Hello? Yes? Major tin foil hatter, at your beckon! :)

I am doing all of this from my phone here on the web so forgive me plz . I am VenomousSilverback of youtube

VenomousSilverback l

These are the comments on yt and im wondering how they ended up there and you will see why . I am making everyone aware of what youtube is doing and everyone better check their settings then go into your activity because they have posted something from a short I watched to my favorite creator of all time on social media . I also can not for my life get into my discord. Its is crazy what youtuve is doing to me . These above comments were on a short with Joe Rogan Scwab and another guy . I hust started going through looking for something and didnt k ow all this was here . Also i am a patreon member and not getting notifications and can get on the google browser version but i cant get into my account on the app . Therefore i dont know when you guys do anything . Honestly tho how did all my comments from a short get pisted to of all my people my fav content creator Its is crazy what youtube is doing to me . These above comments were on a short with Joe Rogan Scwab and another guy . I just started going through looking for something and didnt know all this was here . Also i am a patreon member and not getting notifications and can get on the google browser version but i cant get into my account on the app . Therefore i dont know when you guys do anything . Honestly tho how did all my comments from a short get pisted to of all my people my fav content creator

VenomousSilverback l

I just posted this on YouTube and it's crazy what youtube is doing and I don't like it what so ever so everyone better go into their setting and check all activity and your about to see why

VenomousSilverback l

I want a Hecklefish so bad!! Do we get a message or notification when he’s available for purchase? I don’t want to miss it! 💕

sassyPants

Wait where can I buy one of these I have been looking everywhere.

Whitney Betz

We get a LOT of emails etcs per day - hoping to hear soon he has cleared customs .... we are waiting anxiously too!!

The Why Files

Oh I guess I'm not the only one looking for the plushie 😅

Charlie Massey

Gonna need that plushie ASAP!

Travis Helms

Me too!!

Travis Helms

Same here!!

Sydney Gatward

Looking for a Hecklefish plushy ?

Gary McDonald

What's the over under on Factor doing Thanksgiving meals. Is there a way we can "pre buy" some Factor Meals for individuals facing challenges? Let me know. Cheers

KennyFloyd

The dangler only seems to sell when the plushie is out... so we are not sure just yet on him.

The Why Files

We all love it and have been using for over 4 years - and some of us longer! It will be a long time sponsor as they know we truly believe in them!

The Why Files

I've been using factor for 2 months now. Everything has been perfect and food is solid and way more affordable than cooking for 1 or ordering out.

TBW

My family has been using Factor for for at least 7 years with zero problems.

Midtnhusker

We have used them for years and have never had that happen …. Not sure what went wrong but that is not our experience for over 4 years!

The Why Files

OK, I'm really pissed you keep sponsoring this company. I accidentally ordered food from Factor when I was just perusing the web site. Their delivery service stinks, and my food was lost. You should really vet these sponsors more carefully in the future. I can't trust your ads any more.

Shireen Ray

And I agree with AJ. A big CME is really the only thing that truly scares me. Other than a gamma ray burst, like the one coming from WR 104. (look it up)!

russell johnston

Just signed up! I'm a TUNA now. Need to give Heckle fish a couple of shots of Pepe Lopez.....and Gertie some chewing tobacco. Should work out fine.

russell johnston

It really is just about impossible to trust any online content creators. After independent research it is often discovered that either the facts are distorted due to pushing a narrative or simply poor research. The Why Files with AJ and Hecklefish are in a league of their own. I would never think of paying a content creator because trust is either betrayed purposefully or through ignorance. When you find a rare gem you hold onto it. I know I didn't have to say all that because you all know this. I did however need to speak it into existence for support to all who make WF? possible. Ty

Bruce Hindsley

Welcome back!! ♥️

The Why Files

Hi , I’m back , I think on Tuna level.

CindyM852

Oh yeah. Wasn't that supposed to be something to worry about? That and quicksand. 😅

Awesome_Becka

I voted for hecklefish!!!

brad beckham

I’m getting a logo sticker to make a phone case and a logo hoodie to keep me warm! I tell everyone who will listen about your show, you’re a breath of fresh air in this dusty world!

Bet Ann

Appreciate the up date. Anyone need both? I know my people do. Lets show the WF some love.

AkB

Hi there - we have been concentrating on getting the plushie going with a new supplier and really hoping to hear he makes it back in stock for December. We will make a big announcement when he is back. The keychains (danglers) have not be reordered and deciding if we are going to bring them back or not. They don't sell well when the plushie is in stock!

The Why Files

How do I get my hands on both the Hecklefish plushie and multiple Keychain by or around christmas?

AkB

Me and my three brothers love your channel! I'm based in New Zealand, 2 in California and another in the UK. Your channel connects us even though we are far apart. Should have joined your Patreon Group ages ago. Keep up the great work AJ and Team!

Enrico Abellana

Hi there - we hate pre-orders (when you give us your money we like to get a product ASAP!) and will just announce when he comes in. We finally got the sample this week and will get the order going. It's a large enough order there will be plenty of all and cover the time to make more of the little guy!

The Why Files

Richard Doland was another one.

Dog Creek-Customs

We're gonna need a new update video on the UAP, Aliens, etc Idk if you been following the content of nick pope and all that's going on even Joe Rogan had a few videos here recently and we have whistle blowers coming out of the closet and telling in fact we do have this stuff. You need to do an update...

Dog Creek-Customs

how do I pre-order a hecklefish plushie

Matthew Grusler

They say they haven't perfected it yet, Olivia. There's a blueprint online to build your own. If you need help, message me on discord. Captain Caveman. Thanks!

Jacob Medina

Also yu are everything I love in a yt creator. Mr. Ballen came close but then he started to take a different turn with his channel and Joe is really cool too but I he is too analytical to listen to when I'm working or going to sleep. Yu are JUST right😁 lol. Plus those compilations give me a chance to see the episodes I might have missed so stop being so hard on yurself about them. (Wouldn't mind a second cryptids episode tho 💁‍♀️)

Olivia Farrelly

How do yu buy the aluminum foil hat?! I have literally been wanting that for like 2 years

Olivia Farrelly

You've been an amazing supporter - thank you!!!!

The Why Files

now how to get my youtooz autographed

Lance mangum

You know we love you guys and support you 100%. I still enjoy the compilations no matter how often I see them. Will watch the ghost ones now, then let it run while making bread. Hey - maybe the bread will rise quicker!? Hugs all around, my friends!

SusanWoodcarver

Feel better. would love to see a video about Organism 46-B

Tyler Finn

Hope you’re feeling better and praying for a quick recovery!

Deborah Masterson

Hope you're feeling better

HA! One of our demonetized videos! YouTube did not care for the thumbnail!!

The Why Files

Should I even ask about Spontaneous Human Combustion? I guess I'm showing my age...

Danette Sills

PLushie hopefully in stock by November and slippers we only have size small .... what size are you looking for?

The Why Files

It's been done in "What Does Outer Space Smell Like". It's on YouTube. The 12th video they posted.

Susi Su

how do I buy the plushie and the hecklefish slippers

Austere_Research

I've always had this work/life philosophy. Your life ends up (if you're lucky), spending a third of it at work, a third with your family, and a third for sleep, hygiene, eating, & commuting. Even though you have a job to do & a reasonable quota to meet, work "should" be like a 2nd family. It makes the work easier, the time go by faster, & the really hard days just a little easier.

James

you should do a video on Uranus , that would be hilarious with hecklefish

Wally Mikhail

Life is too short to be consumed by work. On average, we spend about 30% of our adult lives working and another 30% sleeping. That doesn't leave much time for the important things like eating, fishing, or watching The Why Files. God Speed.

Robert Ivancic

Hi from {redacted}

AC

We hope to have them back in stock by the holiday season!

The Why Files

Hope to see you tomorrow or Friday morning!!

The Why Files

YAY!! Glad to hear it - thanks!!!!!

The Why Files

I JUST looked a the after surgery update......I hope you take care of yourself!

Diana Heineck

Hey Jesse, I usually don't gush, especially over clothing, but the merch is aw3some! Like, when you run your hand over the crabcat logo on the T, it's soft. You can feel the logo, but there's no way you're feeling it inside. Anywho, Just noticed your post was a month ago, shows how much I actually get the time to pop in. Victoria, thank you for the letter and replacement crabcat stickers! I've got the letter that came with 'em, with a total LOL from you (in blue pen! I use blue pens, too!). My wife is in agreement, we're gonna frame it! Once again, just a time issue (don't feel bad, I've got three years of my kid's school pictures that need framed and hung), but I'll get to it soon and take a pic and send it in! You're the best, bt dubs.

Jacob Medina

Here you go - only a few left!!! https://shop.thewhyfiles.com/products/hecklefish-for-president-full-set-sign-bumper-sticket-button?_pos=1&_sid=130bbc236&_ss=r We have not been able to have a tinfoil hat design we love - but working on it.

The Why Files

okay i got it open, and moved the foam back to the outside a little bit so it wasnt covering the gold rim. i had to use a tiny screwdriver to get it open, because my hands and fingers are large so it was hard to grip something so tiny. outside the the paint blending the letters, everything looks good now. thanks for the advice.

James B

The case should open.. the white is a protective foam. We upgraded on the 1000 to be sure.

The Why Files

yeah, i wish i could open it to see if it is flaws or if it has some form of protective rubber around the outside of it. the white around the rim is the problem. let me get some pics and send them.

James B

First time we have heard this! Can you send pics or tell me more: victoria@thewhyfiles.com. Thanks!!!

The Why Files

i got my coin #179/1000 but the quality isn't there. i am wondering about it because usually the quality from the team is good. the coin has some major flaws.

James B

Also the heckelfish for president yard sign

Patricia Carpenter

Where can I get the tin foil hat ?! I'm desperate lol

The Why Files on repeat all through the night!!! I think I have seen every episode multiple times. Just signed up for Patreon. Need me some Hecklefish Merch.

Shule Washburn

I just found your site about two weeks ago now and I LOVE IT!! I had to join Patreon. I need more Hecklefish. He is my comedic relief while I work and listen. I work from home so it's great! I love the videos and can't wait to join in on my first live AMA with you and Hecklefish and the other members. I needed a page like this in my life!

moonreadings

those are in the podcast, and isnt a video, its just talking

Eric Russow

I even play your videos for my grandkids 🥰🫶

Rhonda Podraza

You produce such an amazing show!!! You and your team are AWESOME AF!!

Rhonda Podraza

I'm obsessed with your channel and want a Heckle-fish plusshy so much1🥰🥰🥰

Rhonda Podraza

Has AJ ever done a show on Katherine Van Alst disappearance in 1946? https://journal.com.ph/the-eerie-vanishing-and-reappearance-of-katherine-van-arst/

Vicki Ghea

Thanks Victoria! Your the BEST!

Diana Heineck

Check your direct messages ;-)

The Why Files

NOOO! You got two - which one - Hecklefish or the WF mug?

The Why Files

I don't think e do - but a new COO is coming on soon and he should be working on international as it's way too expensive and when something gets lost in the mail it's pretty bad for us!!

The Why Files

Answered below - but currently no set calendar but we announce here first and you get everything first!!

The Why Files

doh!

Henry Hidalgo

Is there a calendar for all the activities? It is confusing a little.

Diana Heineck

I am new and I purchased a t-shirt it is great! Gave to my dude. I got a coffe cup for me and I broke it! I am a dork! So, in my case a user issue...lol!

Diana Heineck

I need quite a few pairs of medium and large

Adam Smalley

t shirts are awesome and you'll be fine

Mikey Jay

rambobrite go to whyfiles.com/operationpodcasts for the unredacted episodes. theres also deep dives into most, if not all the other episodes. I enjoyed them

Samuel Manning

For people who has bought the merch; Specifically the clothing, can anyone let me know what the prints are like? More specifically are they thick? Not the shirt material but the picture itself, I highly dislike graphics that are so thick I can feel them/ so thick the images are stiff (I hope that makes sense) thank you for feedback

Jesse M

Should be here in October!

The Why Files

Where is the Hecklefish stuff talking plush toy? I need to buy a ton of them for Xmas presents.

Jypsee

Not at all - we have moved away from a set schedule to focus on quality with less stress - that's all! When videos are fully out of production, we will schedule premieres and announce them. They will also come up asap on Patreon app.

The Why Files

It appears that the show is moving away from YouTube. Is this the case? I haven't utilized the content on Discord or your podcast because I liked the format of your YouTube channel. My wife and I are able to watch together just like any other program. I will become more adroit at other media outlets, if that's what it takes to be able to watch the show. Not complaining. Just asking a few questions.

David Torrez

You know what they say about all work and no play!

Chad Hagan

We are trying to decide .... we still have about 150 smalls so trying to get through those first....

The Why Files

Do you ship to The Netherlands ?

Malyaban Das

Any more slippers coming?? I need medium Hecklefish slippers. :)

Kim Keane

Hugs back and thank you!!!!

The Why Files

Shout out to AJ and Victoria from Indiana, I'm addicted to the WF lol 😅

LEA SIDDALL

We have a few awesome ones coming up - the Podcast needs some attention and love and we are gearing up to get at it again - but yes - look for UNRedacted!

The Why Files

Hey RamboBrite, all the episodes should be available. Any episode the team deemed "too risqué" would go straight to the Why Files: Operation Podcast, available on Spotify, Amazon Music, etc. (wherever you listen to podcasts). You Tube kind of' buries episodes, if they mention "Corona Virus" or "Vaccine" for, seemingly, obvious reasons, but you can still find them by being patient and diligent. Even when the video hints at such verbage, or "virus" is said, one too many times, it tosses a red flag, I suppose. AJ references one of the episodes as being "possibly unavailable" at one time but I was still able to find it on the regular homepage by counting the number of episodes, manually. I have been a viewer since before the channel hit a million, and I have been able to watch every episode. I usually catch premiers though and gobble them up before the algorithm gets wise to anything it deems "untoward." Thanks for helping me avoid some work by asking a question I could answer. I hope that helps--Just some thoughts from a fellow Why Files supporter

Jacob Medina

Hey Brad, all the episodes should be available. Any episode the team deemed "too risqué" would go straight to the Why Files: Operation Podcast, available on Spotify, Amazon Music, etc. (wherever you listen to podcasts).

Jacob Medina

Yeah I wanna see the redacted episodes! I just became a patreon and all during this time that's been a little difficult for them to make an episode each week, but the stories he is making are going deeper and better quality so I get it taking longer, I've only seen everything on YouTube so far and don't know where to find the redacted episodes nor can I view a calender when it said as a patreon I would have access to one.

RamboBrite

Where are the episodes that u can't put on youtube I joined need more WF in my life

Brad Reyes

I'm on board for coins! I'll buy 'em or trade you for some from my agency....

Douglas McCratic

What’s this about coins? Apparently I missed something big??

Flamboyance (Travel with)

Anyone complaining about the video being late please feel free to go back and refresh your memory on some recent or even older content, and remember why you became addicted to this channel and not the other 6000 channels on YouTube focusing on the same subjects. The workload, research and quality is second to none In my opinion and the reason half of us subscribes to patreon in the first place! Please keep the great videos coming team…in your own time too the true why filers will understand 😘

John Hutchins

On the channel, chose the "playlist" and the first one is "ALL OF EM" click and enjoy!!!!!

The Why Files

Where can I watch all the seasons without missing episodes ?

MaceGoddess

Thank you for the update, and so sorry.

Danna B

Don't worry about your fans. They will understand. I just lost my wife of 54 years and even though we knew it was coming it was still traumatic.

Bill_J

Can you make a T shirt with this picture? And how much AJ?

Zulu Csisz

Don’t worry about the schedule team. We all love you and understand life happens. Best wishes moving forward.

Dustin Hicks

I joined for a year, bought the patreon exclusive shirt and a coffee mug! I hope it helps. You're one of my favorite channels.

Lewis Allard

oh no I missed it :(

Syra

Waiting on delivery of V2 and probably next week .... ;-) did you get one of the first 500?

The Why Files

WELCOME!!!! I am getting ready to send the notice out for all patrons for a live this morning!!!!! ;-)

The Why Files

So there was something about an AMA tomorrow morning? I don't see it there on the calendar?

Carol Williamson

Thank you! I just love this community! Everyone is so nice!

Carol Williamson

In theory it’s here although this is “subject to change” as the saying goes…. https://thewhyfiles.com/twf-calendar/

Deepwater

I have a feeling the next set of coins are coming very soon 🤔

Deepwater

I just recently joined patreon, yay! And have no idea what the schedule is for the hangouts etc.? Is there somewhere here on parteon I can find that?

Carol Williamson

You are a flounder for a year!!!!!! THANK YOU!!! Looks like you figured it out ;-)

I’m fairly new to The Why Files. Love the show, research, HeckleFish, Gertie, and of course, AJ and crew. I joined Patreon last week. I have no way to verify that I signed up for $3.00/m. It seems I joined for free. If that is true, I would very much like to join for $3.00. Anything to help keep the show going.✌️❤️

Aurora Sunna

Hi, I been trying to join the discord but it will not let me. It says the link or invite is expired.

I would be interested in a n episode on internet scams and the dark web

Ivette IbarraSmith

No worries, thanks 👍

Teresa Burnside

hi there - we only have them shipping domestically this round. The shipping is so expensive internationally, they get lost, things happen and it costs us a lot more to replace. We are working on it.

The Why Files

Hi, are the Hecklefish plush toys still available? I can't find them on the website 😕

Teresa Burnside

Still trying to figure this out. I'm new! Can you tell?

Ronald Timmons

A shout out for Missoula Montana

Bruce

looking forward to it!! :)

Lee Lewis

Hi...from Washington State.. :)

Lee Lewis

Welcome!!!!!!!! Come to the live at 5pm PT today - see what a patreon only is like.... nothing like after files - we just hanging and chatting.

The Why Files

OMG, I've got it bad. I watch A LOT of You Tube, but have never become a paid member or ordered merch. Today, I became a member and just ordered a mouse pad!

Genise Caruso

Where is everyone from? I'm in Madison, WI!! Anyone else??

Genise Caruso

Thank you so much! I made my first purchase today. I’ll be back next month for a mug if I have enough money.

Cal Jennings

I know DARPA all too well…

Lee Lewis

Welcome to the chaos! I mean family ;-)

The Why Files

New here too. Just diving in.

Joel Martin

Weather as a weapon..but they don't want to talk about it

Jeffrey A Faudskar

James Waugh

Thanks AJ and Hecklefish, I'm a new Patron as of today 6/27/24, and I just ordered the Subliminal Warfare mug,I bought the Plush a while back, I Love him, he sits on my shoulder and we watch The Why Files each week!💖😃👍

Donna Duncan

Thank you so much! Just completed the order! He is going to be thrilled!

Kreed

I got them made for you in a shirt that goes up to 4xl- the size chart oddly doesn't include them, but they are an option to buy!! https://shop.thewhyfiles.com/products/the-moon-is-weird-unisex-short-sleeve-tee?variant=45627284095221

The Why Files

bwhahahaha

The Why Files

Thanks for the reply! So it doesn’t grant me access to secret Why Files, Bohemian Grove-style events? Darn! I already had my costume. Joking aside I was wondering if maybe you’d incorporate them in to the Why Files lore somehow, sticking them in cereal boxes, or creating some sort of “coin club”. Not even really sure why I had that idea in my head. However as I was writing this I did had an idea that might be interesting. What if you had some sort of monthly subscription box where you got like a decoder and clues to solve some sort of mystery? Kind of like a “Drink more Ovaltine” thing but geared towards the Why Files audience. Maybe each episode has some sort of clue hidden in it that goes along with it. Probably a bad idea but just tossing it out there!

Ham Burger

Once again, thank you thank you thank you, just ordered.

Triton Header

Thank you so much!!! Just placed the order!!!!

Triton Header

IN the customs shop, for US residents only at the moment: https://shop.thewhyfiles.com/collections/in-house

The Why Files

Collectors item... each new one will have 500 signed and then a run of 1000 unsigned. They will all be first offered to Patrons for the first week. We are currently waiting on the 1000 (I have to number them, so been busy on that each day) and working on the design for the next coin - thinking if they stay popular I am happy to keep new ones coming every month.

The Why Files

He's in the custom section: https://shop.thewhyfiles.com/collections/in-house

The Why Files

They will replace crypto currencies by 2030 and become the replacement for the dollar post civil war II in 2035

Bosco Lemonzit

Concur; plus, some of the humor is priceless!

Kunsanhistorian

What are the future plans for the challenge coins? Like what is the vision for them going forward I guess?

Ham Burger

Probably an old topic...but any channel/show that has 'artifacts' from Raiders of the Lost Ark on its set must be supported at all costs. :)

PICKETT

That is fantastic news. Thank you for the heads up! Much appreciated and thank you for the great work you all do.

Nerdic Viking

Wow that's cool! Thanks for the clarification 👍

JIM CASTRO

Thanks for replying! I am in the US, Pennsylvania. I just can't find the plushie anywhere on the stores, do I need to be a certain tier Patreon member to purchase?

Triton Header

So are you!!!

The Why Files

No lie - another numbered 1-1000 are coming, but won't be signed and they have a cobalt blue - in about 3 weeks or less!

The Why Files

If you are not in the US, we currently are only shipping domestically from our warehouse.

The Why Files

I will check but all our shirts go up to 3XL and some 5XL ... depends on supplier - will take a look.

The Why Files

There is a special Patron Only section that has merch only Patrons can purchase!

The Why Files

Its a real thing!!! I change something on it every video!

The Why Files

Is the normal set shot in front of a green screen? Or is the bulletin board real?

Alex Cross

I will soon be the owner of a MK Ultra tee!!! Ordered shirt, now excited! 💙

Sandra Childress

Thanks for the update, Victoria. You are appreciated 💯

Jigsaw

Noooo!!! I missed the coin!!! Please lie to me and say there is going to be another chance to get one. Not the same mold obviously, I think many of us would pre-order, I would!

Nerdic Viking

I didn't even see the coins dropped yet! Ugh! Off to the store now!

Nerdic Viking

No. To many coffee mugs, no snow globes, or beer mugs, come on. What would your inner Hecklefish say??

Tim Murphy

I can't find the hecklefish plushie anywhere to order, could you link to it for me please? Been trying to order one for months!!! 🙃 Thanks so much

Triton Header

I've been trying to order one for months but can't find it anywhere, where can I ? or what are the requirements to be able to? Thanks so much in advance!

Triton Header

We just got our coin and hoodie! So cool! Any chance to get 4x shirt for the Moon is Weird? My dad would love that but he is a bigger dude

Kreed

Why do we need a pw for the MERCH store? Has it always been this way? Legit don't know...

JIM CASTRO

Oh man, I'm so excited!!! I'm right in the middle of the east coast so I wouldn't think it would be too long. Thank you for the update!

Sardjento

If you ordered this past eek - they were just picked up by USPS after the holiday!

The Why Files

I got my Hecklefish Plush finally! 😻

Natalie Graham

In quality check now - Shipping labels printed on Mon and Tuesday - mailing takes 1-5 business days - depending how far you are from the east coast factory! Woohoo!!!!

The Why Files

THANK YOU!!

NorthwoodsJen

Awesome! Do you all have any idea when the shoes will be shipped out?

Sardjento

OKAY 👌👍

William Will2sr5

Any word on when the hecklfish plush ships?
