Thanks so much AJ! I am new to Patreon and let’s just say that I love and appreciate your authenticity. Keep up the good work and please do not overwork. We want you to stay in shape!

Daniel Ducharme

I HAVE to get one of these! I love Hecklefish!!!

Charlene Allison

Where can I get the hecklefish plushy I need it

Gushi 1011

Hey hey! When will these be coming back? I missed the pre-order. 😵 my daughter and I can't wait to snag one!

Dustin Ognowski

Hunter Radcliff

Scott Dalziel

I have my Hecklefish plushie sitting on the back of the couch. He watches the episodes with us. Love the show!

Calytrix

Have really enjoyed all of your shows, and now have my neighbor and husband hooked. I'm still making my way through them all just to make sure I've hit those like buttons. Keep up the awesome work you all do!

Caroline Nygaard

Looking forward to seeing more great episodes 👍😎

Ryan Anderson

Thank you for all the effort and work you put in daily love you channel

Robert Snyder

We Love the Why Files!! 💗

Susan Woodard

Yes the why file

Southside

Great episode this week.

Paul Davidson

The Why Files makes my heart happy, and I am SO excited to be here...this is my guilty pleasure. Lol! Ya' all do a great job!

Amy_OnlyForHecklefish

If I wasn't traveling a lot for work, I'd love to have a hecklefish stuffed critter, but I'm kind of living out of a suitcase right now. Once I get settled I'll get one. Either that, or make a keychain sized one. Hope all is going well!

Steve Victory

Great show again, thanks for your being here!

John Seychel

Enjoyed the last episode very much. I became a flounder. I’m not going anywhere. I’ve been watching awhil. Saw all the Pisces, & several Afterfiles show. Just wanted to throw a little bit of support your way for making such quality content. Looks like youre working your tails off.,Hecklefish is cute, & I love his jokes but I’ve no place to put him that my dog wouldn’t find him, & eviscerate him. She’s a Carolina Dog… aka chew demon.

D.Shepherd

Looking forward to getting my Hecklefish, may have to buy an extra for a gift.

Saina Xyne

Yeah I am happy I made the decision to become a Flounder yesterday. For $3 a month? And securing a Hecklefish Plush? Sold. How can a person not sign up with that kind of deal? Not to mention that there are other perks as well. I honestly intend on keeping my Subscription. And I might even upgrade to a higher tier in the near future. I'd not unsubscribe after a month and Hecklefish. I'd upgrade a tier or two after if anything. Because now it's Hecklefish. Who knows what other kind of cool merch will be released in the future. I am here for AJ, Heckelfish, and the WhyFiles for sure. I'm all and and invested at tis point.

Saturn's Dad.

Glad to support your organization! I'm a new member and only just catching up. Is the Hecklefish plushie password for a "members" discount or something? I plan to order regardless (also won't cancel), but I wanted to ask since the password topic keeps coming up. When I enter "Patreon exclusives" in the store with the aforementioned password, nothing comes up in the store. Just wanted to check!

Autumn Spredemann

I didn't realize until today there was a pre-order 😭

Jennifer

I did, I bought 2 then went back and bought a 3rd.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kevin Via

When does my plush mail???

Kevin Via

Honestly, I would of paid more for that crazy Hecklefish plushie. I love your show! It’s an easy way for me to contribute and get some cool merch.

Upside253

I’ve had to be away for a week from the show and I miss the Hecklefish reveal. That friggin figures. Why can I not find the link?! Help?

DS_the_RN

Plushie is shipping just in time for my birthday!!! (72 young if you’re curious). I’m applying to law school for next year, HF will keep me sane.

Jane Harper

Great idea! It narrowed who gets them right away. And got more people to sign up for patron

THE TROJANOWSKI FAMILY

The WF is the most creative and captivating show on any medium. The Cable giants cant touch the superb entertainment quality of AJ and Hecklefish. The best on YT. The best anywhere.

Arminius

The Japanese slurp their noodles when eating to show the quality of the food AJ. Coffee should be done the same way.

Nancy Law

Had to join and order 2 for my twins. They have a birthday coming up next month!

Ruth Whisnant

Don’t worry about the comments regarding making this a patron member first option. It’s hard to believe a true fan can’t at least cough up $3 bucks a month

Timothy W

Can’t believe HecklePlushie is finally making his debut! Can’t wait to get ours!

Donald North

Thank AJ and team. To hell with those who don’t support but complain. Tell the to go red the Children’s book “The little red hen”. If they don’t want to help, they don’t get to enjoy the early good stuff! And can’t wait for Hecklefish to arrive!!

David y Cari

Not gonna cancel 😉 The Why Files is the most interesting and honorable channel I’ve seen on YouTube. Not gonna lie, though. I’m SO EXCITED for this Hecklefish plushie! 🥰

Sherry Chwojko

Love this! Do you ship to England yet.? You got me with “Sir David “ describing Hecklefish 🤣😂🧡

Julia Fox

Me too best night of week

MIKE JOOONES

I can't find if their is a show or not... hoping their will be one

Ed Keighron

AJ you look the same shade as Hecklefish.. you ok? 🤣 love you guys!!! Can’t wait to get my kiddo a plushy!

Logan Miller

No pressure. I'm just happy to support the show. I don't expect anything extra for my financial support. You guys are great.

Val Andrews

Is there a show tonight? 6-22?

MIKE JOOONES

There she goes

MIKE JOOONES

Where's Geeeeno? Tell Mr somethin I don't know

MIKE JOOONES

Tried to order, my bank called me flagging my purchase. I told them “no I did purchase for 40.70$ and the purchase was ok. Yet I still didn’t get to purchase it.

Trey M

when i signed up as a patreon supporter i got a hecklefish chat pop up in discord but i don't have access to any of the channles

Mystically

I was at a writer's convention two weeks ago. During the mixer I spotted a dude wearing a "Fear the Crab Cat" t-shirt. I had to go greet him by saying: "Hecklefish 2024!" Can't wait for the plushie!

Xavier Poe Kane

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see it anywhere for 6-22?

MIKE JOOONES

Thank you for all you do! We love the Whyfiles so much, and preach the good word to anyone that will listen. I think my husband has hooked about 50 people on the channel. Keep up the awesome content! Can't wait for my Hecklefish plushie <3

Heather Baldwin

What? Where see that?

Bosco Lemonzit

You work hard and the quality of your channel is first class. Happy to be a part of it and will continue to support you and thanks for the perks. The plushie looks great and I can't stop watching the promo video! Take good care of yourself.

Brenda H

No show tonight????

MIKE JOOONES

Hecklefish will be mine! MUHAHAHAHA!

Lee Crystal

Hecklefish plushie!!! Omg

Tonya Downing

I second this! Take care of yourself, AJ!

Daniel F. Lyons

LOVE this. Thanks, AJ and team!

Melissa Taylor

Hey AJ and Hecklefish, I wondered if you received the cookies I made for you. I hope you liked them. -MJ

Mary Jeanne Cincotta

I am not what you call a joiner. I don't like the process and the baggage. But the Why Files has been tempting me for some time now. My own Hecklefish...well that was the p(L)ush I needed. Thank you for probably the best channel on Youtube. You may not hear from me again, but I will always be lurking. (Checks out)

ApocryphalBob

This is the only patron that I subscribed to. I love the channel it checks all my boxes. And you seem like a genuine guy that I could hang out with personally if ever given the chance. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m not going anywhere.

Steven

Thanks for watching out for us. I appprecate, believe in and support because it's obvious that you all are interested in growing something special. Keep up the great work!

Vince In Houston

I bought 3 Hecklefish plushies and 2 shirts of Cydonia (props to the designer for this shirt - both t-shirts in black and orange look excellent with the Cydonia design) . One Hecklefish plushie is for my cats to play with (just kidding). I would love a crown hat (if one exists) so I be a unworthy peasant and serve My Lord Heckfish Moriarty- A Strict But Fair Lord. AJ please make sure you are taking care of yourself....20 hours of editing in 36 hours - WOW! I used to edit/create videos on a media100 mac system (late 90s) and babysit that machine during a render in case it crashed in which I had to restart the render :( . Enough of me. I mean it AJ make sure that your self-care is #1.

John DeSantis

Thank you for all that you do, AJ and team. Much love <3

Selene Waters

BruinsCat

Password is in the first plushie post

BruinsCat

Yes what is the password

Karoline Auman

Whats the password

Deputy Dong

Ordered 2... one for my grown son and the other for myself! We love you guys!

Carey Arnett

I got mine pre-ordered. I love the channel and what you do. Keep up the good work and you've got yourself a long-term supporter. P.S. Heckelfish will be riding Mt motorcycle. Maybe he needs a helmet? 😉

Christopher Lee Cox

You guys are da bomb! Can’t wait to receive HeckleFish Think he will like it here in Tennessee!

Louie and Deanie Garcia

STILL NOT ABLE TO SUBMIT PRE ORDER. HELP!!

Karoline Auman

I'm waiting to pre-order mine in a few days!!!

Raj Hudek

Sorry it took me so long to join patrion but one of the reason i love you so much is because i know you understand lol im not at the highest tier but im locked in for a year👍 I know nothing comes easy but i hope you get all you deserve and popular enough to be successful without changing the reason we all love you ❤️

matthew folse

$40 in Canada. Not including shipping. Still a decent price for a big talking plush

Sarah Wedel

Pre-ordered my Hecklefish as soon as I saw the link. We love your content and the hard work you put into it! #patreonforlife

Greg Kershner

Didn't get a Heckle, but I love and support everything you're doing. Thanks for making it special for us Patrons

MS

Just pre-ordered my Hecklefish. Glad to support such wonderful creators giving a bunch of joy to my world. The show is like In Search Of with a twinkle of MST3K, which are two of my favorite shows growing up. Thanks for all the hard work!

Aricson Tarasova

We appreciate you AJ! Bought two shirts yesterday. Hope my little contribution helps. See you on the show tomorrow!

Mike&Murf

I appreciate that you gave your patrons first chance at the new plushie. I didn't realize until I was ordering it that there is actually a patrons only section in your store. I will probably be adding some t-shirts and a couple more mugs. I cannot express how much I appreciate the work that goes into these episodes of trying to answer what's really going on in these situations that on the face just seems bizarre.

Keri Holmes Rojas

Thanks for all you do AJ and crew. I'm glad you let us Patrons have early access to Hecklefish. That was very nice of you all. I can't wait until my little Heckle arrives.

Nikki G_0

Looking forward to adding the accessory collection when it's available! 👍

Debee

When do the AJ bobble heads come out?!?! 😝🤣. Can’t wait to get my Hecklefish!!!

Sandra Childress

Thank you as always for all of yalls hard work. Pre-Order In

Denver Haslam

Keep up the great work brother. Someday the 1A ban may be lifted and your content can go to those other places :) Or, maybe that will never happen. Either way...long live lord Hecklefish!

Jason Piazza

Love the plushie, but we just got a new dog (she came onto our property 2 months ago, needed emergency surgery, and now she's part of the family, but literally DESTROYS all her toys. I do not know if I could take the devastation of seen Hecklefish in pieces on my living room floor because we left him out on accident..... I might never recover from the PTSD. But please, keep the merch ideas coming, and I'll just keep sending more and more tips for support until you make military grade titanium HeckleFish plushies....so I know he's safe....

Tripal Helix

My husband and I were out and about a few weeks ago and he was wearing his hecklefish shirt and some guy that passed us said, "oh wow, you watch that too", and we both said, "yes, it's such a great show". There are many of us out there!! Can't wait to get my hecklefish!! Keep up the good work, we love your show!!

Michelle Kesselaar

❤️❤️❤️

Janelle

Love your channel and being a member of this awesome like minded community!

Kelly Robinson

What can you say other than <3

The Strategy Informer

ily

Neceros

Fantastic work AJ and team - so much love and admiration for all you do!

Drew Lane

This is wonderful, AJ, cheers!

thormusique

I most likely won't. I already canceled right after seeing it was only a early access to preorders and sent you a message asking for a refund for the patreon subscriptions. I want to support you guys, with the plushie, but I really regret creating a patreon account. We can continue this discussion in private if you respond to my message.

Guy

Thanks for everything you ALL do.

Don Stewart

I joined maybe 2 months ago but I'm here for the long haul AJ! I love being apart of a community that is like minded lol! You guys are doing amazing and we're here for all of it!!

Gillian_Alexandra

I always enjoy your videos - glad I can support you and your team

Peter Anniko

I am glad to support you and you channel. I got 2. Can't wait to drive the spouse crazy.

Don Stewart

I was excited to get the plushy, but the switch to the new store lost my store credit I had.

Seth Forrestier

I am glad to support you! I love Hecklefish and your back and forth! AJ what you guys are doing is great and I have watch almost every video at least one and since you announced I had to join and support! Thanks again!

Charles Bonetti

AJ, you are 100 percent aligned with the Hecklefish Chakras. Love what you do!

Theresa Smith

I can't believe people gave you a bad time for releasing it on Patreon. This is why you join Patreon. To get those fringe benefits, baby! This is one of the many benefits of joining the Patreon. Honestly, $3 is nothing. I think I drank that much this morning. Anyway, I ordered an HF and can't wait till he gets here. It's a surprise for the wife. I'll score some points and then maybe do a little scoring myself. Hey-yo!

Snoochie Boochies

Good man AJ (and of course your team). I’m excited that Hecklefish is heading soon to the U.K. So many people ask me why I have a goldfish with a tinfoil hat on my t-shirts and ask what it means. I tell them to fear the crabcat and lizzid people and watch WF?

Chris Godfrey

Nice

Kevin Via

Big thanks to you and your crew! Awesome show. My wife and I love tuning in on Thursdays. She's really gonna love Hecklefish as a birthday gift. Also, I'm excited to be a new Patreon member! Can't wait to see what's in store.

Dylan Kurbel

Glad to join your patreon now. Should have earlier but you know life happens lol can't wait for the plushie. K

RowdyRudy

We thank you for your work and commitment. We love you guys!

Andy Mavridis

We are all here because we love what you and the team do. You are delivering the best content of ANY service. I've cancelled Netflix and Amazon to support you. Please do what you must to make this a long lived production.

DjF

BTW, you should have been different than everyone else in the world and rounded the price of the plushie to $30. Only fools are fooled by one cent off.

Elak Swindell

Thank you for all the effort and work that you put into the channel! Love your content and also preordered the plush too! P.S Don’t over work yourself with scheduling too much! Lol

Nick Shuman

I didn't even watch the video. It was an immediate purchase, mainly to support your awesome channel, AJ. Not a fan of the tinfoil hat though. Looks like a Hershey's Kiss. LOL. So, I'll make a new one for Heckle when I get it for the photo wall.

Elak Swindell

Been waiting for the plush and I almost pooped myself when I saw the notification yesterday. It’s incredible how much joy y’all have brought to my life, I was feeling like there was nothing cool being made anymore. Please don’t ever change!

Nicole Trueblood

How do I sign in for patreon exclusives? I need to give hecklefish my money❤️❤️❤️

KayBear

Thank you AJ!

Michael Keith

I signed up for a year :) I have been waiting and waiting for this little guy, I can't wait till he ships!

Natasha K

Just pre-ordered one. Thank you for all the hard work you guys put in to produce a great show.

Rusty Shackleford

I figured it out. Bought my Hecklefish plushie! For being a Patreon newbie I think I did a pretty good job figuring it out. Love your show! Get some rest.

Upside253

This is the first and probably only plushie I will buy. (Unless you release another one) Huge fan of the team and the shows you produce. The After Files is a really good time as well. Thank you for the entertainment.

Denim

Instant purchase. Crab Cat sold separately.

Greg R

OMG, I LOVE IT!! ALREADY PRE- PURCHASED MINE!!! DAVID ATTENBOUROUGH'S VOICE WAS ACES!

Patricia Younger-Cocca

Can’t wait!! Thank you for offering it to the Paterons first. Love you guys! Keep up the good work. So happy to see the channel doing so well! You guys have been busting your asses for a long time to put out a quality show and I’m glad to see you are reaping the rewards.

Sammy the Ditch Doctor

We love you guys!

Steven Farris

Tbh I thought I'd already been a Patreon member, and it was when I went to snag the pre-order that I realized I wasn't! I'm happy that's sorted out and soooo happy to finally have a Fear the Crabcat mug! I ordered the plushie, expecting to give it to my husband for Christmas, but I just couldn't wait and showed him the video shortly after the order. He's super excited for it!

C R Van Wieren

Thanks AJ, not as involved as I use to get, but still the best $$$ a month on TV I spend.

Kevin Via

I made a Hecklefish reference over the microphone on my music gig, and some guy yelled, "The WHY FILES!". I said "YES!!!!"

Kevin Paige

Love all the shows... glad to be a patreon... and glad you made this Plushie

Jeff Simpson

Sorry for your trouble, the patreon exclusive thing was my idea...

Mike Willis

❤️🦀🐱

DanK1chillin

Well at least you won't have to deal with me asking about the plushie every week on the live stream now. Thanks for the awesome plushie

Mike Willis

I joined because of the heckle fish plushie, you got me hahah and I’m gonna stay because I love your videos and want to support, thanks so much.

Chelsea Laine

hecklefish is my patronus

Brian Perkins

i most definitely will!!

BLÀCKBEÀRD

Yep. Glad you joined, Guy. Hope you stick around a bit.

The Why Files

Keep your eye out for a Space Panda sighting tomorrow.

The Why Files

This is a fairly common response to him, Chris!

The Why Files

Kind of feel like I was pressured to join, as the youtube post seemed to indicate the plushie was a patreon exclusive; but it's in fact just early access.

Guy

BLÀCKBEÀRD

Thank you so much for the loyalty and love for your fans.

Benjamin Doyle

na hes in space looking for the aliens

BLÀCKBEÀRD

Dude, really?

I heard Space Panda went to rehab after he was chucked off the show. And that rehab didn't stick.

CG

I'm so excited

VolCanixWorx Sadie

Lots of content lately. So little time….. ☮️

Chip Snyder (chiphappened)

Also just upgraded to koi level!

CG

What's the passwoed!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!!

Karl poff

cant wait for it to get here! now we just need a limited supply of space panda to complete the collection!

BLÀCKBEÀRD

I got mine on order

Michael Goad

I'll be honest, when I first started watching the channel, I found Hecklefish a little bit annoying. But like scum on the wall of the bowl, he grew on me and now I can't imagine the show without him!

The One True Chris

Boom - stoked for the plushie!

Oliver Moreno

I bought mine!!

CG

All hail hecklefish! Thank you for an amazing channel that keeps me wanting more week after week.

Anthony Lozano

You guys do amazing work, glad to support with Patreon. I am just shocked, AJ in a white tshirt?

Dalton Bilsky

Thanks for all you guys do!! Can’t wait for this week’s episode!

BCabada

Thanks to you and your crew! Love the plushie, can’t wait for mine to arrive. Ya, I’m 56 excited for a plushie…. what about it? 🤣🤣

Matt Thomas

Thanks. He is a fair but firm lord.

Pocock III Edward

Bro thanks for the transparency.

Aaron Duncan

Awesome!! I can't wait to order one. I've been a patreon for over a year and that won't be changing anytime soon!

Nicholas A Preator

👍

Jad L

Dude, thank you and your awesome team for countless hours of intriguing information. Thanks for caring about your supporters. Thanks for putting your heart and soul into your work. You have my respect and admiration. All hail Plushie Lord Hecklefish! 🩵

Manuel L Romero

It's you and your team's fault for the success you bring....congratulations and well deserved! Thanks for the cool plush of our favorite fish!

John Dossa

I think I missed the password

Karl poff

So rad!

Rob Schwager

I've been brainwashed in to subscribing, typical government ploy 🤭🇬🇧

Adrian Nelson

I joined the Patreon because I didn't want to live my life without Hecklefish... ❤️

Matthew Livingston

Your the Best. No THANK YOU!!!

Chip Snyder (chiphappened)

You sir are very welcome

BRIAN SHINKO

Can’t wait! As far as the shirts, I appreciate that you’re carrying the tall/big sizes! Thanks for the great stuff. 73 de WK4T
