    Why did I just discover this?

    Fascinating and hilarious! Mr. Gentile is obviously well-educated/read, can pronounce multisyllabic and proper words/names properly, has a breadth of interests, and Hecklefish makes me laugh harder than I have since COVID made life so depressing. There is a lot to be learned from every episode. I hope many more will discover this educational and engaging corner of YouTube.

    My favorite YouTube subscription!!

    I've been a fan since the first episode I seen! I love how AJ presents his stories. He's great! Stays on point & has a fair check & balance on his content. Informative & fun! He talks about such fun & interesting things. Aliens,conspiracies,faith & mythologies. History,philosophy & even stinky planets. He covers it all. I love his perspectives & looking at stories I knew in a different light. And learning stories I never even knew about! And I just love heckle fish! Hims so handsome!! Thank you AJ for your show & all the work I know goes into it. I'm looking forward to many many more years of amazing content.

    Fun. Facts. Comedy. Serious.

    AJ ... Bravo good sir. You or your team do a lot of research into the subjects you cover. Thank You.

    Hecklefish ... Keep up the good fight.

    Ok. I enjoyed the episodes I've watched so far. Very well delivered stories keep you listening for more information. The interaction between AJ & Hecklefish is entertaining too. AJ being the straight man and skeptical storyteller and Hecklefish being the true believer theorist type.

    So .. the videos kept me engaged and entertained. So that is great indeed. Sometimes I just want more and more information though.

    Hollow Moon ??

    More stories please.

    The absolute BEST channel on YouTube.

    I absolutely Love this channel. Absolutely my fave. AJ and Hecklefish are the best. Very well done, the entire team is A+++++. Every show is entertaining, professional, high-quality, well researched, nicely edited and thoroughly enjoyable. TWF is undeniably, seriously quality content. The whole family looks forward to every single episode and premiere drop. The after files are entertaining, informative and a whole Lotta fun. The Why Files get my entire Thursday evening and are the highlight of my week. Their merch is fantastic and yes, I have my hecklefish mug! All in all the very best channel out there.

    Haeckelfish rocks

    I stumbled across the why files on YouTube one day and was hooked,as a UK fan it's interesting to learn about US paranormal events and they cover events around the world, AJ dry and non patronising interest in the topics from UFOs to timeslips,and what can you say about haeckelfish a tin foil hat wearing guppy obsessed with lizard people and then more Lizard people and a deep mistrust of the press and the media , together they make a great double act sometimes it's hard to work out who is the the straight guy and who the fall guy (or fish) .I would recommend this YouTube channel that never lets you down.
