Holy fuck. I'm sorry, but I only made it halfway through. A group of completely uninformed Gen Z's who can't even pronounce the site name rambling "like, totally," on about misinformation from some random article he's reading off his phone. The "flood" wasn't 5000 years ago, or predicted by the vulture stone. The Younger Dryas flooding was significantly older than that. Perhaps even contemporaneously with the building of Gobekli Tepe (and the other sites in the same area). Global sea levels may have risen as much as 400' in as little as a millennium (or even less if you listen to some people), then they ramble off into the Book of Enoch, human-animal hybrids, etc.

That is not a good channel. I felt like I was listening to the left side of the bell curve randomly cramming shit together and not understanding any of it. The internet has truly destroyed the minds of the last two generations.

Well if what he said before it was wrong it probably is also. Anyway, he was saying that after Noah's son left the ark he might have ran across the site realized what it was and he/they were the ones that buried it. Short(er) version.

I really like The Why Files and AJ.  The show is always interesting, and I find myself looking up all sorts of different things after watching an episode.  But that stupid fish is ruining it.  It was sort of funny when I first started watching, but the constant interruptions with the same worn out jokes has gotten old.  The fish is funny approximately 5% of the time.  He should ditch it, or cut it waaaaaaay back.
The DARPA episode was very good, would have been much better without the fish.

I've noticed that as well, and I do think he breaks up things with Hecklefish to get past the upload screening. Plus all the talk about the YT algorithm in the past episodes. He does need to dial it down when it's not necessary or funny. But that's also one of his merch sales so who knows.

Well, Hecklefish was, is, and will continue to be the channel's schtick for the foreseeable future. Almost 4 million subscribers, and, as you say, it's a huge part of the merch. Hell, I myself have a Lizzid Peeple coffee mug and some HF sctickers on my water bottle and such.

Is HF annoying at times? Yep. Overdone in some episodes? Also yep. Pretty sure that's not going to change based on the complaints of some malcontents on the UFO section of a gun board. Yes, I include myself in those malcontents.

But yeah, Hecklefish should be the occasional wisecrack smart ass, and not a co-host.   The advertisements are cute sometimes but some jokes have been done to death.   They're still useful to disrupt a continual topic from AI scanning for WrongThought, however.

Personally, I enjoy the Heckle Fish. There were a couple of episodes where his use was over the top, but that was only one or two.

If you don't like the fish.....
You can now stream the Why Files through your amazon fire tv devices... https://www.amazon.com/The-Why-Files/dp/B0CKFKBXPZ



The fish and ads for sponsors are removed. I think he's been going back and updating them for the prime channel so they were a bit behind the last time I viewed there.

OBE's were mentioned in last compilation.

Andy Petro drowned in a lake for 15 minutes two days before his high school graduation in 1955.
As he jumped in the lake that day the water was freezing cold, he struggled to swim out to his friends who were on a floating platform waving at him. After a few minutes he started feeling cramps in his lower abdomen and drowned.
While he was at the bottom of the lake he heard a voice telling him to just let go. When he listened, suddenly he was no longer cold or in pain. He looked back and saw his body -- entangled in the weeds at the bottom of the lake. Then he felt himself rushing toward a light. The Light said,  “Andy, don’t be afraid, we love you.

This channel doesn't have the production of Aj's, but if you can get past that content can be good.

In 1912, a farmer found an unusual, ancient-looking limestone tablet in his field. It seemed to have an exotic language, that he’d never seen before, chiseled into its surface. Over the next 50 years, he showed the stone to family, friends, and even took it to the fair, hoping to find anyone that could decipher it, but no one ever could.

Fast forward to the late 1990's, and someone not only deciphered it, but tied it to the legend of Prince Madoc. As the story goes, Madoc sailed to North America from Wales, in the year 1170, 322 years before Christopher Columbus! And not only that, built an ancient castle in Southern Indiana!

This film covers the mysterious Brandenburg Stone, unexplained Roman coins found in Kentucky and Indiana, ruins of an ancient castle in southern Indiana, and Native American stories of “white Indians”, that lived along the Ohio River. This is the first film to fully explore this intriguing legend. The story has captivated Southern Indiana people for generations, and continues to this day!

I think that might be a bit overdramatic. There are, what? 3 million subscribers? Thousands upon thousands of Patreon supporters? I'd posit most of those people don't give a rat's wet fart about a schedule, and are just happy when a new episode comes out, like most other YouTube channels.

I don't buy the CIA killed JFK story, It's a bullshit story that the CIA wants you to believe. The truth is far worse.

It was Oswald, by himself and he was a patsy.

Oswald came up with the idea, the CIA found out and instead of stopping him they encouraged him and helped out when necessary. They would swoop in at the last moment and tell JFK that he needs the CIA/FBI to protect him. The CIA got caught with their pants down with the last minute route change and Oswald acted on his own. If it had been planned you wouldn't have seen the clusterfuck afterwards, an off duty CIA officer would have heroically ran towards the shooter and killed him before he got out of the building or gotten him out of the area without issues.

This isn't some crazy conspiracy theory, this kind of shit has happened and the CIA/FBI have been caught doing it. Whitmer, Denton TX, Toledo OH, Charlottesville VA and countless other times they have helped the bad guys.

I'll even throw in the guy that shot Trump today, they probably knew about it but didn't bother to do anything.

Lol. Neither one of us will ever just "shut up."

This just seemed a bit more in-depth than the other videos, but, yeah, it is old ground from a new angle. Still, it required effort and time, and I can appreciate that.

If I were honest, the most annoying thing in the new videos, and in fact most of the videos I watch, is the AI-generated content. It's just become so ubiquitous (just look at any site dedicated to "art" these days) that it makes me want to heave. I'd rather look at the same historic, genuine image for fifteen minutes than the AI bullshit. I know, I know...I'm old. Headline: "Old man yells at clouds." And soon there won't be any genuine images left.

One of the best analogies I've seen as to AI generated "art" came from a discussion on authorship. If George Martin or some other ridiculously famous author needs cover art, they hire an artist, and they describe what they want. The artist then produces said art, possibly modified by further input and requests from the author. In the end, who should claim credit for the artwork? The artist, or the author that gave the prompts? AI "artwork" is the same. The person typing in prompts is not a fucking artist, they're a monkey with a keyboard. It's starting to annoy the shit out of me. /rant off, /apology for rant on.

The artist, or the author that gave the prompts? AI "artwork" is the same. The person typing in prompts is not a fucking artist, they're a monkey with a keyboard. It's starting to annoy the shit out of me. /rant off, /apology for rant on.


100% spot on!

This just seemed a bit more in-depth than the other videos, but, yeah, it is old ground from a new angle. Still, it required effort and time, and I can appreciate that.

If I were honest, the most annoying thing in the new videos, and in fact most of the videos I watch, is the AI-generated content. It's just become so ubiquitous (just look at any site dedicated to "art" these days) that it makes me want to heave. I'd rather look at the same historic, genuine image for fifteen minutes than the AI bullshit. I know, I know...I'm old. Headline: "Old man yells at clouds." And soon there won't be any genuine images left.

One of the best analogies I've seen as to AI generated "art" came from a discussion on authorship.

I prefer to listen on Spotify without seeing the AI stuff - thought about why I do. I think it's like reading a book where you want to picture with your imagination rather than some hookey AI looking stuff. Maybe listening to so much Art Bell?

ETA: It doesn't work so well when he's posting images tho
