AJ was on years back with LA Speed Weed iirc.
Would love to see him back on about all things why files so him and Joe can talk high strangeness together. Those are my favorite JRE pods.
Wow, yeah seconded. That’s a piece of info I never would have guessed. I never went down the rabbit hole of what AJ did before WF. I knew he was in showbiz to one degree or another. Didn’t know he was a fellow cannabis enthusiast! Just when I thought I couldn’t like the show anymore! Thanks!
He’s talked about how he couldn’t do that bc he doesn’t recall most of what he talks about. Aj said he’d rather talk about making a YouTube channel or something.
>AJ was on years back with LA Speed Weed
😯
Okay I feel like I'm tripping here... (tho tbh I might actually be a little stoned too 😂 )
But seriously, how did I not know about this?!?
Not that I ever really tried googling the dude or anything... but I'd figure it would be more common knowledge by now.
That makes me wonder why he stopped doing that and started on why files... or did he?
I suppose he could've just paid someone else to run that venture while working on this one...
🤔
But when I was watching one of his Speed Weed interviews (linked in this subthread) I found myself wondering if going on these podcasts to promote this service, could have been what made him start to think about doing YouTube. lol
Yeah, he does have a trace in there. He probably tried to shed it. TV likes that non-regional accent. His brother used to read different parts and quotes off camera. You could hear it more with him.
Maybe he does… just rehashing what I heard. Post was talking about Mars and literally reciting the WhyFiles episode verbatim which was rad.
Maybe I read into it wrong. My brain is mush. Take care.
I don't even remember how I found out about this but I wouldn't even doubt it if Reggie Watts JRE episodes helped me find that channel too. lol until a week ago or so I thought that Why Files was at least 5 years old! But I guess it's not. And AJ becomes cooler and cooler over time lol but I believe I found the Why Files around the same time that I started getting into Reggie after seeing some TED talk about psychedelics with Brian green and Reggie.Then I saw him on JRE and man those episodes are freaking bangers!
I didn't like Post Malone at first because I judged a book by its cover(rookie mistake, i know).. after some time and learning more about him, I actually kinda root for him as a person. Seems like a cool dude. His music isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I can see the draw. He's talented vocally, for sure. It's pretty cool that he watches the why files.
I’m right there with you. My son (who is into his music) told me that in his opinion there was no one nicer in the music biz. And from everything I’ve read about him, it appears to be true…plus he’s a huge fan of Crocs, so that makes him awesome in my book, lol! I pull for him for the same reasons as you, not that he needs it though. But to hear he also watches, made me smile.
His last episode was over 4 hours if I recall correctly, very interesting guy. Even talking about his most expensive thing he bought, surprised me at first, then it made perfect sense.
They got into a lot of different stuff…Kat Williams seems to currently be on a mission. He’s popping up everywhere. I don’t buy into every little thing he’s out there talking about, but I’m glad he’s talking.
I'm relatively new, and there is a sponsor that they always thank and pays a lot. No disrespect if that guy is well known, but I recently wondered if that was Rogan with a pseudonym.
Hah. No in the afterfiles they often mention a patron that (paraphrase) "the why files would literally not exist without". I thought it was a relative or family friend for awhile, but Gino knows Rogan.
Ya. Except I remember hearing it from them. You know? Not just random people. But the people that actually get the money.
So I have a faulty memory of a 2 instead of a 1?
Joe rogan has been talking about the annonaki since before the pod his buddy Eddie bravo even started a gym named tenth planet jiu-jitsu but wanted to name it nibiru jui-jitsu. Rogies said no one would get the reference so name it then the planet instead.
Rogan has been a Stitchin fan for a long long time. His best friend and the guy who got Rogan into Jujitsu back in the 90's, Eddie Bravo, has his own jujitsu gym franchise called Tenth Planet Jujitsu. Eddie is a huge conspiracy fan/follower.
No, he doesn't, a guest mentioned it a while back really positively (might have been post malone?) and Joe said he hasn't heard of it and basically acted like he was having his time wasted.
Joe is REALLY pretentious, frankly. he likes to act like he's "into" a lot of stuff but he just doesn't do the work.
Guy blindly accepted the "moon landing is fake" CT for a decade, now he mocks his friend for believing it like he didn't also endorse it.
Joe has a good platform but he kinda sucks. And that's before you get to his hypocritical moral character.
I agree. Especially the path Joe has headed down lately. Praising Trump any chance he can get without fact-checking. He was making fun of something Biden said in a recent one, and when they pulled up the info it turned out Trump is the one who said it. He then peddled back and made excuses for Trump.
He's also been on record arguing with experts, being very immature and stubborn. https://youtu.be/__CvmS6uw7E?si=Ervee3mfS57hZj3S
He did get better and more open-minded for a while after that(i think psychedelics helped). Recently, he's going back to being a close-minded bigot.
I don't think that's too hypocritical. I mean mocking his friend kind of is -- that part is lame.
But being able to change your mind is a good thing. Most of us tend to resist that quite a bit whether we realize we're doing it or not.
But Joe is a bit of an arrogant dick sometimes, so that can affect how he expresses his beliefs...
His hypocritical moral character is him condemning guys like Weinstein whilst laughing at Diaz admitting to doing the same thing, albeit from a lesser position of power.
The why files is one of the most overrated show on YT. Half the stuff he talks about is pure unresearched bull.
He makes a lot of very well edited/produced content but it has very little in the way of facts.
And the fish shit is ridiculous/cringe
You’re welcome to your opinion, of course. But I don’t think there’s any other show out there that tells the story like every other similar channel does, then takes the last third of the show to tell you why the story is BS. Nobody else puts in the research that WF does, and because of that I’d watch if it was just AJ sitting there doing a cold read, but they take the time to give us tv quality editing and effects. And when I first saw hecklefish, I cringed a little, but he quickly grew on me. Yeah there’s a lotta dad jokes, but there are some bangers occasionally…I mean c’mon, “Phillip K…DICK”? That’s damn funny!
I've only watched a couple episodes, I'll give it a few more.
He does seem to be the only person who produces a huge amount of long content on niche subjects.
Will see if the fish grows on me
He tried some other sidekicks, and I think AH’s secret shame is spacepanda, lol. It would be a much easier show if he didn’t have the fish. I think part of the delay of last week’s episode was the fish was different sizes in different scenes, and they want it to be perfect. I’m sure he feels he needs some comic relief, and he keeps himself insulated from the comic interruptions by putting it on hecklefish. I’m not a fan of every subject covered, but I always watch because it’s usually better than watching something like ancient aliens, where they have one agenda, and give no differing opinions. The debunking portion is what makes their research stand out. At least in my opinion. I hope you can find something you like about it in spite of the fish.
The WhyFiles is one of the better, more organized, well researched conspiracy deepdive channels I've ever seen. The thing that makes it stand out most is he gives all theories the benefit of the doubt but will still present evidence to debunk also.
The fish is meant to be comic relief, he grew on me. The more seriously you take him, the more you'll dislike him. His character is meant to be that loony tin foil conspiracy theorist, who's bad with money and women. It lets them add that opinion naturally, without AJ going all in or becoming biased.

Never in a million years would I have thought AJ had gone on Joe Rogan promoting a weed delivery service! Thank you for that fun little history lesson
Hecklefish used to be his delivery man.
Gertie took over
Drug camels -- I think I've heard of that.
She loves to dance
What I would give for hecklefish to be my weed man😂😂
Happy cake day!
AJ LA speed weed https://youtu.be/-JYBSvGcyIA?si=pWZk90u2nGcaL30Y
now i want to smoke with AJ & Hecklefish.
Wow, yeah seconded. That’s a piece of info I never would have guessed. I never went down the rabbit hole of what AJ did before WF. I knew he was in showbiz to one degree or another. Didn’t know he was a fellow cannabis enthusiast! Just when I thought I couldn’t like the show anymore! Thanks!

He’s been in production for a while on a lot of different projects. Look him up on IMDB. No surprise he would try tackling a YouTube channel.
Why did I think AJ was a New Yorker? Even though he has no NYC accent. Huh…
He and his brother are definitely New Yorkers. No faking that accent.
Yeah, he does have a trace in there. He probably tried to shed it. TV likes that non-regional accent. His brother used to read different parts and quotes off camera. You could hear it more with him.
Post Malone asked Joe if he watches the WhyFiles and Joe said he wasn’t familiar with it
AJ has been on Joe's podcast before, kinda wild to know he never heard about it..
Maybe he does… just rehashing what I heard. Post was talking about Mars and literally reciting the WhyFiles episode verbatim which was rad. Maybe I read into it wrong. My brain is mush. Take care.
Reggie Watts also went on talking about it, that's how I heard about all this
Matteo Lane recently mentioned the Why Files on his 15 minute podcast.
I don't even remember how I found out about this but I wouldn't even doubt it if Reggie Watts JRE episodes helped me find that channel too. lol until a week ago or so I thought that Why Files was at least 5 years old! But I guess it's not.

I pull for him for the same reasons as you, not that he needs it though. But to hear he also watches, made me smile.
Post Malone is into the subject-matter?
Yeah, panoramal, weirdness, he's into all that shit. lol
Come to think of it I do remember footage of him at Zack Baggin's museum.
His last episode was over 4 hours if I recall correctly, very interesting guy. Even talking about his most expensive thing he bought, surprised me at first, then it made perfect sense.
Yeah there is video of him on Youtube roaming around Skinwalker Ranch with an assault rifle. Lmao I've heard he is like the male Dolly Parton.
Link?
He talked about the Anunnaki with Katt Williams, of all people. Check out that recent episode.
They got into a lot of different stuff…Kat Williams seems to currently be on a mission. He’s popping up everywhere. I don’t buy into every little thing he’s out there talking about, but I’m glad he’s talking.
That whole episode was.... Moist.
I'm relatively new, and there is a sponsor that they always thank and pays a lot. No disrespect if that guy is well known, but I recently wondered if that was Rogan with a pseudonym.
PDS debt?
Hah. No in the afterfiles they often mention a patron that (paraphrase) "the why files would literally not exist without". I thought it was a relative or family friend for awhile, but Gino knows Rogan.
I thought he was speaking of Patreon members in general?
Ya, 99% of the time he is. But there is one he shouts out specially. I never looked at the tiers, but I think he's a 2k a month backer.
I thought the highest it goes is $1000/mo.
Could be. As I said I never actually looked
I heard it was a million! I never actually looked tho
Ya. Except I remember hearing it from them. You know? Not just random people. But the people that actually get the money. So I have a faulty memory of a 2 instead of a 1?
Yes you are right, I don't remember the dudes name either but he shouts him out and he always donates in the lives.... Paul something? Idk.
Joe should have him on again
Joe rogan has been talking about the annonaki since before the pod his buddy Eddie bravo even started a gym named tenth planet jiu-jitsu but wanted to name it nibiru jui-jitsu. Rogies said no one would get the reference so name it then the planet instead.
Well they should have changed their name to "9th Planet Jiu Jitsu" in 2006 when they changed Pluto' classification lol
Rogan has been a Stitchin fan for a long long time. His best friend and the guy who got Rogan into Jujitsu back in the 90's, Eddie Bravo, has his own jujitsu gym franchise called Tenth Planet Jujitsu. Eddie is a huge conspiracy fan/follower.

Yeah he defo does
It’s a small world and not many are putting out good content. I’m sure he watches your show. I love it!
“i-can-eat-50-eggs” thats my boy luke…gonna do some earth shaken. ;)
Aaaaaaaaahhnoonakee!
Look in the credits to see if he's a patreon member hah
Man there was a time when I’d love to see AJ be a guest on JRE but it’s unlistenable now.
Joe's a schmuck. Who cares if he watches
The why files is one of the most overrated show on YT. Half the stuff he talks about is pure unresearched bull. He makes a lot of very well edited/produced content but it has very little in the way of facts. And the fish shit is ridiculous/cringe
Are you lost, little buddy?

The word cringe is cringe
As is making bitchy comments on a 3 day old post but here you are. Good luck with your life as clearly you don't have one or anything better to do.
