To most, the Mojave Desert looks barren. Jagged rock, swirling sand, and scrub brush.
But the Mojave is full of life. It’s been home to native tribes for thousands of years.
And the Mojave is also home to many caves; that hold many secrets.
Some caves are reported to be secret entrances to underground bases. And not all of those bases are occupied by humans.
Other caves are rumored to be portals to different places on earth. Or portals to different dimensions.
There are caves in the desert that cause even the most experienced explorers to run away in fear. But when they gather their courage and return to the caves, they can’t find them. They’re gone.
Year after year, adventures scour the Mojave; trying to solve these mysteries.
Some brave souls return with incredible stories. But others go out into the desert and they’re never seen again.
One of those brave souls - was Kenny Veach.

I'm over youtube unsubbing me.
I have watched since like 250k subscribers. I’ll supper the show always. But I’m not gonna download this game.
The devs cannot give that game away , you are SO MUCH BETTER than these woeful promos
the ads arent your doing we know that but promos are all you ,please stop them
I CHALLENGE YOU = make a ^^^ promo , but promote TWF merch ! see what happens
Best channel on RUclips!! Heckofafish lol is on point..🤌
I"ll pass.......
Bro, you are an international hero and you admitting to depression is nothing to be ashamed of. You are a an amazing narrator and person to aspire to be like.
Thank you for talking about this
Amen!
He sure is
I like him too but hero?
@@cthulhuhoops7538Yes he is. Sharing his struggles with such a personal issue as depression takes incredible courage, especially because depression itself mines your self esteem and makes you see yourself as less worthy. But for other people watching this video who are also struggling with it, and maybe think they are alone in their pain, it can be life saving to have someone like AJ remind them that they are not, especially coming from his own personal experience, and that there is always help to be found if you look for it. So yes, he is a hero.
Im a veteran that struggles with severe depression. I also do everything I can to keep that hidden. If I were to harm myself (I won’t), my family would say it was out of character. Sometimes family and friends just don’t know what people are dealing with internally.
I sincerely hope Kenny didn’t harm himself. If anyone else reading this also struggles from depression, please talk to someone. And remember, suicide doesn’t end the pain, it only transfers it to your loved ones.
Well said ✌️
You are loved❤
Jesus cured my depression and addiction. Alot easier to live when you know the Lord.
@@sleepyhead9756problem is, a lot of us don't believe in magic. I'm glad it's working for you, but don't expect it to work for others.
I can relate brother. I hope you have many, many great days ahead.
You are a hero for the depression talk. I’m laying in bed severely depressed for decades, watching this. It makes me feel not so alone.
Look into magic mushrooms! In small amounts they could actually help a lot.
Continue holding on brother. We got you
you should do ozone therapy
Could you people please learn to use lie and lay correctly? The average IQ has become so low in the 21st century...
You are not alone. You are stronger and more valuable than you realize.
My mom told me once that our planet is a big puzzle with us being the pieces. If you throw away your piece then the puzzle is incomplete and it takes away the builder's joy.
The last few minutes of this video defined you as one of the best on RUclips. Thanks for being so awesome.
'They don't care about the M cave. They care about Kenny.' That got me. I teared up on that one.
Yes that was a great quote!! I can tell your a good person, simply bcuz you specifically mentioned that particular quote out of the entire video...
Yeah we get attached to our channel creators like Aj and Kenny. Want them as safe and well as can be.
Great quote! I think Kenny finally invented something that we all are interested in - hope.
When I’ve really gotten bad it’s because I’ve lost hope. No purpose in my life or reason to believe it will change for the better-only get worse. Yep, that’s how I feel.
Yeah, I also cried.
Yet one of the guys looking had an "M" cave t-shirt on.
The last part brought me to tears , you never know who is going through depression . You need to be brave to admit it & a hero to survive it .
When I watch ONE of these videos, the entire sidebar of video options are ALL from this same channel!! That makes me aware of the fact this guy is part of the problem....depression??? Really??? Grow a pair!!
@@Steve-uv7sp There is no weakness in depression & to know that you aren’t alone makes you feel normal & not a pariah.
Isn’t life all about knowing you aren’t alone be it on earth or in the universe ?
Any way apologise can’t change my ways as I can never have a pair .
@Steve-uv7sp depression is part of the human condition. I hope when you're in your darkest place people have more empathy than you do now.
I've always said that when you consider the corrupted world in which we live, that the real curiosity is why isn't everyone depressed? Anyway yes very brave to admit and talk about it. I totally get deleting 4 times. Anyway I would save you (anyone) the heartache if it was within my power, you've probably heard similar. anyway I do believe I can help a lot of people. Check into Magic Mushrooms. You can take what they call a micro-dose which is such a small amount that it doesn't become noticeable. However you still get the benefits of it helping fight depression. Now having said that: I prefer , (not really prefer the "high" part) to take enough that I do hallucinate just a little, I definitely feel it. And it isn't a terribly unpleasant feeling but I like being in control so I don't like that part of it but .... I feel so incredibly great the next day and next 2 weeks after it that its worth the uneasiness I have for 3 or 4 hours when taking them. And I am not someone to quickly jump on a bandwagon. If anything I am more likely to lean towards being cynical. Now having said that: my short version of describing the reason I feel so good afterwards is : because I feel lucky to be alive. :) - end of the day whatever ... it is worth it for me. hope this might help someone else.
@@Steve-uv7sp Man, I stumbled upon your comment here and I'm a little confused. I'm not seeing the connection between anything. It's pretty normal to have related videos from the same channel appear on the sidebar. That's part of how RUclips is designed to work. Do you mean to say that the fact this channel produces a lot of videos is part of a problem? Is the problem people spending too much time watching videos online? As in, are you saying that is a cause of depression in people? I'm with you that social media addiction is one of the biggest mental health and health problems in history, but I personally can't make the leap to blame a user. It's the tech monopolies and those who enable them to operate with so little oversight that are the problem. Also, what do you mean about growing a pair for depression? Do you mean to say that machismo is the answer for a brain that is malfunctioning? In some cases, if a person is discouraged or down on themselves, a well placed "cowboy up" can certainly make a difference, but I'm afraid it doesn't do much good when the problem is purely neurological. Just like you can't just will a heart attack away or a broken bone to suddenly fuse back together. You may want to look into neuroscience a bit to understand this topic a bit more. Fascinating stuff too.
This story broke my heart, I lost a cousin to depression, and at time can relate the constant struggle this world can bring, but the uplifting message AJ mentions in the show, gives hope to us all. Great storytelling and human being.
I just lost my job of 10 years after a severe depressive episode because I couldn’t call work, I was seemingly under a spell, and couldn’t get out of bed, talk or anything. It’s strange and people with depression are haunted by non stop intrusive thoughts. The only real way to help them is to never stop interacting with them, don’t give space, we don’t really want space, we just want to feel needed.
Hope doesn't pay the bills. It, like dreams is an emotional process and doesn't do s#*t.
Inspirational. Struggling with depression and knowing that you have experienced the same, gives me hope.
AJ please remember. That you too are appreciated. Some of us come to your channel to escape our everyday grind. You sir are a blessing. Preaching exactly what this world needs now more than ever. Compassion and kindness.
This.
Amen to that
Well said ❤❤
I listen to your channel every day when I’m driving into class, please keep at it and know that we support you!
Greetings to AJ and Hecklefish from a long time viewer from Sweden. You guys are awsome. And appriciated.
I love it when AJ says “Let me know if you wanna see it” referring to making episodes. Yes AJ, we want it all lol
Exactly! Of COURSE we want to see it! 😀
Yuuuuup every single time 🎉
For REAL. 😅
All of it!
Right? The answer to that question is always YES!
You are a treasure and a credit to the human race, AJ. That includes you, too, Hecklefish as well as all your team. Keep being you. Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!
That was a beautiful ending. And you're right. We all have struggled at some point in our lives with depression. No shame, just keeping it real!❤
Wish Coast to Coast was like it used to be. Why Files is as close as we'll ever get though. Love this show.
Yeah, It's gone down a slope.
I use to really enjoy Coast to Coast 😊
@magneto9555 I quit listening awhile ago. When the host got mad when someone asked why he doesn't cover the stuff they used to, I knew it was time to stop. It was never returning to the glory days.
This and Mr. Ballen are two of my favorite YT channels
Art had a way with radio that others just wanted to exploit for exposure
for a guy who started in a room in a house with gear he literally built up from a mike ,10 million listeners on US radio dont sound much but given you are casting to maybe 25 % of the populous ( thise likely to even own a radio let alone listen ) was pretty damn good
do miss the old show
I feel like a child waiting for mommas bed time stories whenever this dude uploads. I appreciate you man
No worries, cupcake. You’re welcome.
Right?
99 bugs but sleeping eighnt won
👍
I literally sideline the new videos until bed time 😂
when u said about depression making some ppl struggle to get outa bed? That hit home man. I have days on end like that. I've had this most of my life. I go through times where it seems everything is going to be ok but then it hits me hard and I will lay in my bed and not speak to anybody for days.
Ur message made me feel a little bit better. I feel so alone sometimes.
Great video man. Those ppl who go out searching for Kenny are amazing human beings. I hope they stay safe out there bcos that area is crazy..
Positive vibes from Norway. I know your struggle....
Yup me too but hey I’m young maybe I do have time to figure all of this out even with a world war on the brink🫤
Wow!! I thought I was alone.
us humans get a bad name, but the fact people are still looking for kenny gives me a warm feeling inside and goes to show we are actually a caring species
Billions of people on earth,some are genuinely evil,even play it off as good people to be able to go about their evil deeds/ways,prey on innocent.BUT there is also genuine GOOD people here as well
We can't conceive what reality would look like if a couple evil greedy people in history didn't exist. It doesn't matter how good a majority of humanity might be if they don't amount to the wealth and power of 10 people.
It’s a spectrum.
We the people are a caring people. But we are governed and represented by greedy devils.
Thank you for NOT deleting the depression part a fifth time. I know from experience how hard it is to set aside ego and admit personal psychological issues issues... That alone has made this my favorite episode. Thank you again brother, Thank you.❤
Amen! You said it best!
found the person who hasn’t ever suffered from clinical depression 😂 it’s
@@410cultivar
This was a tough on me, emotionally. It really was. But if I can help just one person through a rough patch, it's worth it. Thanks for the kind words. 🙏
Thanks, A.J. My wife of 50 years was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. It's so difficult now to not be sad and descend into depression. Thank you for your transparency. You can't imagine how valuable what you do is to some of us. Your channel is one of the few bright lights left . @@TheWhyFiles
@@TheWhyFiles AJ, I'm glad you left it in. Sometimes it takes hearing just the right thing in just the right way to make someone finally "hear" what they've already heard multiple times. You know you have a knack for presenting information with just the right language and tone. If it helps one person, it was worth leaving in.
Thank you for opening up and speaking on depression ! You’re helping a lot of people ❤️
Amen over and over. Everyone me included has battled with this. Bringing up this topic like this will encourage people to talk to someone.
Exactly ❤️ Hearing someone who is sound minded like AJ bring up that even he struggles puts it into perspective for me that a lot of people go through it without others even knowing they’re struggling.
It's so hard to imagine he could suffer with depression for me for some reason. he seems so happy whats hes doing. Really appreciate his openess and honesty and him doing this show 🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your own struggles. I have dealt with depression my whole life. The worst part of the day is waking up and being disappointed that I did. The struggle is real.
no he isn’t
What a moving episode. I love how objective and respectful you are on all the topics you talk about. This one however, is so heartwarming!
Thank you so much for keeping that part in. You are a wonderful person.
I just wanted to say thank you for not deleting the part about your depression. I appreciate that you're a real person and admit your struggles instead of putting on a facade of a perfect life on social media. So many of us struggle with mental health issues and it helps to know we're not alone. So thank you for that, it touched my heart. As always thanks for the great video, love your content! ❤
You're appreciated 🙏
I second what this commenter had to say.
@@TheWhyFilesYou Are Remembered. You, your crew, and your people.
Thank you for entertaining us.
Thank you for working for us.
Thank you for staying with us.

I lost my father to suicide a little over a year now and in between that time till now I have lost two close friends to it as well. I'm so blessed I still have my remaining family and friends and this awesome community. Keep your head up and keep moving to the future.
I have depression myself. It's genetic/physiological, and not a result of trauma. It's impossible to explain to other people what it's like to spend all your energy being normal. We are very adept at hiding it. Having depression doesn't mean being sad all the time. It's so much more complicated, and many people who seem happy and adventurous may not always be that on the inside.
It actually makes perfect sense for someone like that to enjoy being alone in the wilderness. You don't have to keep up a facade for others. You don't have to spend energy talking to others, interacting with them, dealing with their emotions and demands. Nature allows you to just exist.
That depression part man. It is written and delivered in a very good, mature way. No crying, no anger, just straight facts and life experience. You just seem like a great, wise guy, salute to that
this show is perfect.....AJ's delivery, scripts, editing style, timing plus a sidekick for comic relief. this and thoughty2 are the only content i look for on YT. the rest of my time is spent wandering aimlessly, making hopeful clicks
Totally 👍
If you like that kind of stuff, check out Mr. Mythos as well. Excellent channel, incredibly deep research and he just presents information, doesn't try to skew anything. He doesn't upload often, but all his videos are around an hour ish and just packed full of information, SO much research for each video.
@@damiencouturee6240 thanks...i do love this stuff, ill check out mr mythos. thank you!
Mental health is no joke. I've dealt with anxiety and depression my whole life. So glad more folks are discussing it publicly now. Keep up the good work!
AJ I don’t really know you but I’m so proud of you for addressing depression. I work with PTSD vets and they love you channel and I KNOW you have helped them from this. I wish I could shake your hand dude. Thanks again! You are great!!!
Really really brave of you adressing your own battle with it... Feeling you brother.. And for all fellow people out there battling the same too: we gonna make it, and yeah, sometimes we will be going through hell, but we'll keep going! ❤️🩹💪🏼😎
Thx for your work and your amazing channel AJ
with much love from Switzerland ☺️
Consider this an e-handshake. Thanks for the kind words. I'm so glad to hear that this goofy channel is making people's lives a little brighter.
Heart felt kudos to another awesome show, and so appreciate the words on depression. I'm sure Kenny's family is ever so grateful to you for your presentation of this❤
I actually miss the old days of yt when it was just some dude
No team no production
Some dude with a handheld
So many lost conspiracys and topics from back then
He would be proud to have made it on your channel. Lightwaves on your journey Kenny ❤️
What you mean by that buddy?!
He also totally would have been a fan of TWF.
"it's time for Kenny to come back home"
this line felt too personal, AJ 😢💔
THANK YOU for making this episode and bringing it all together how you did at the end. I needed to hear you say what you said about depression.
I’m currently going through hell and to hear that saying “if you’re going through hell keep going”
This really meant a lot to me. It’s reminded me to pick myself back up and keep going.
Thank you for the positive message within this incredibly fascinating story.
I can second that. The supersize lady hasn't sung yet.
Hang in there.
Tough times aren’t forever, but tough motherfuckers are! Keep standing! Pray! Ima pray for u too bro. God bless u bro
The end times prophecies of the Bible are coming true as we speak bro, hang on
You are note the only one mate (Aussie talk), me too. Stay strong. If you believe in God have a chat with him. If not (or as well) find a friend or a good listener with good advice.
Damn AJ. Brought a tear to my eye at the very end where you said,”it’s time for Kenny to come home.” and it is. It’s very touching to know there are people that are adventuring that desert but still keeping an eye out for him or his remains. Good or bad, him and his daughter deserves the closure. Wasn’t expecting The Why Files to move me this way but that’s just one reason why this is such a fantastic show! The best on the internet and I tell everyone!
Yeah every so often AJ will get you right in the feels.
Still tearing up
Same 🥺🥲
I discovered you about a year ago. I’ve enjoyed your content since then. I too have struggled with depression on and off. You just did a heroic thing. Being open about mental conditions is a gift to humanity. Thank you, sir. Happy new year 🍻
Thank you for revealing your struggles with depression.... So many of us are dealing with this and some make it out eventually and some of us just struggle forever.... I never thought that I would take such a drastic action ever in my life, until I was facing it and almost doing it... the thing about depression is the feelings can feel overwhelming and the thought of S is so sudden and intense that it is something that can happen to even the most adventurous and light spirited person... I hope to one day make it out of this deep deep debilitating part of my life one day to hopefully be able to enjoy the wonders and joys of life again... I love my family and my support system, but my brain and emotions feel so low for no reason.... and that to me is what is so embarrassing about it...
The Why Files is just on another level compared to other RUclips channels. Everytime Why Files uploads a video, it makes you question reality, it makes you laugh (looking at you Hecklefish), and sometimes (like this time) it makes you feel. I'm so glad that I stumble on this channel.
You're so right!
one of my favourite youtube channel, its one of the best
Absolutely agree,I wonder what his qualifications are, if any. I can't help but feel I lack intelligence, A.J explains things in such a way that everyone can understand.
Same
While it's all that, it also has a production quality equal that of network television. I believe AJ and his cohorts have worked in television production before so they bring the goods in that arena.
This is the first episode where I teared up at the end with a lump in my throat. Thank you AJ for being real and relatable. Transparency is never easy with such a personal topic. You are so very appreciated and loved AJ!!!
Definitely glad I wasn't the only one.
I can relate
Same
Me too
So many people are suffering from or have suffered from depression in some form or other. And almost all of them feel shame for being depressed. But it's like cancer or any other illness: It really isn't their fault. It's an illness, and it's often treatable. If anyone is feeling depressed, PLEASE tell your doctor. And tell your friends and family. You really aren't alone.
I just noticed that at 8:45, when Kenny Veach is mentioning the cave is about level with the ground is the same "cave" that Sean Horlacker found and can be seen at 20:05.
from one struggler to another. you are not alone. your show gives so much to so many. thanks.
This is why it is a danger to assume people are fine just by going on what they are trying to show you. The human mind is a very complex organ, but it is also extremely simple in its actions. If you think a person could never be depressed, it might be they are struggling with depression the most. Thank you for sharing your story, AJ. We're better with you being so candid in a story like this and I appreciate you for doing this show and this episode.
lol
I don’t believe that he killed himself… there’s too much coincidence involved… and the alleged depression and implied potential suicide is obviously a government tactic that they have used for decades…
That’s right man you never know what a person is going through love everyone that watches the why files
Currently going through a dark patch myself, so now I'm crying. Thank you AJ, I needed this episode. To anyone else going through it, reach out to someone... but most importantly, keep going.
If you ever need someone to chat with, feel free to reach out!! Please!! I suffer from depression also so i won't judge. Sending love your way because only love will save the day 😊 stay strong family!!
Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
God loves you. If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
It's the greatest free gift you could ever possibly receive 🎁🙏
Psalm 136:1 "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever."
There's always someone to help you. I'm a combat veteran and retired cop and I helped my son after his combat tour in Afghanistan.
If ur watching this chanel ur not alone, think of how the pursuit of mystery is always available,its a calling , and that is reason enough to be strong, like an unending adventure 🤟🏾🙌🏾
Have you considered trying psylocybin mushrooms? It has worked for many people, the theory is it "resets" your brain. There are several major pharma companies doing clinical trials right now with good results....worst case, it doesnt work, no real danger as long as you are in a safe place when you try it (i would definitely try a smaller dose than used "recreationally", people use an eighth of an ounce or more to "trip", i would start with a quarter of that to be safe). Just trying to help!
I didnt expect this vid to end the way it did but it was so beautiful & well done. THANK YOU!💕
Love you AJ and team, really you guys bring so much joy into my life and I'm extremely grateful to you all
I hope you’re out there somewhere Kenny 🙏
We hope so too @karl
Btw nice seeing you here
so do we, karl
good to see fellows from my country watching the why files
He's become a lab rat for some break away government who is in cahoots with the aliens and they conduct surreptitious experiements in underground bases. Lol, what if that actually was the truth. Truth is always stranger than fiction, though!!

I hear you AJ, I was a Design Engineer for a fortune company for 30 years. While it began in grade school, depression slowly consumed me, ruined relationships, socially isolated me . . . to this day. I called many times a year, impossible to get out of bed/home. Nausea and dread and anxiety impossible to pinpoint were worse than being stuck in tar. Through seeking help, I gained a deserved mistrust of the psychological profession (another long story), I was on my own. As I have aged, whether developing coping mechanisms, leaving the high stress work behind, or just mellowing out, it has improved. The darkest moments, irrational self depreciating thoughts are less often, but depression is still everpresent, but it does get better, for this one anyway. Small victories are still victories.
Amen thanks aj
Everyone is a perpetual work in progress and no one has it all figured out. For the most part, we're all out here trying to do our best and life isn't always easy, especially when having to deal with things like anxiety and depression. I commend those who are out there, doing what they can to make this world a better place, no matter how small and inconsequential their actions may seem. Sometimes all it takes is the smallest gesture of kindness to completely shift a person's frame of mind out of a spiraling negativity and into a place of genuine gratefulness. I wish everyone love and happiness in the world, especially those whom we know need it the most. I truly believe that one day our world will become what we all would want it to be. I'm 37 and while I'm not sure if it will happen in my lifetime, I have confidence the people of this world will reach a state of living in harmony with one another. Unfortunately, before that can happen, there may need to be some human evolutionary traits/behaviors eradicated either by natural pathways of the evolution of our species or by genetically manipulating the human genome in future offspring. But really I am talking out of my a** right now and admit that I don't know nothing about nothing. I'm not much on board with the messing around with the CRISPR tech and going all mad scientist on gene editing/splicing and such but as someone who studied science in school, I can't help but be fascinated by the idea of DNA/gene editing. It is pretty cool
I can relate, similar story... Small steps... just keep going! Good luck!!!
Imagine having that crippling depression WITHOUT the bank account of a Fortune 500. While I know wealth can lead to misery, it sure beats dying in a ditch.
Yo guy... rogan had this geneticist on recently. They spoke at length about how half the population has a gene where they can't metabolize folate well and it screws everything up, since they pour folate over food. Check it out, they mention how it even affects the neurons responsible for thought.
New to channel! I just wanted to thank you for talking about your struggles in a very real and genuine way. Thank you!
That Area51 sign at 18:15 in the cave is sold on amaz-on. The same faux weathered marks on the ones on amaz=on are also on the one found in the cave. Great episode as always. Love this channel!!
I suffer with anxiety and depression and there’s one thing that helps me, and that’s this channel and I truly mean that. The team, the stories, the audience/chat and especially Heckle Fish telling us to buy a plushy fish toy at the end of each episode.😂😂You’ve no idea how much I look forward to that; the smiles and laughter it brings: Priceless. Thank you.🙏🏻 I hope Kenny Veach is alive, but at peace if not. Love you guys. God bless.❤️
Me, too. And you're loved & accepted here! 💜
We're all gonna make it
@@hollyharris1874 Thanks Holly. Shine brightly.🙏💜
AJ...thank you for being vulnerable and not deleting that last part about mental health for the fifth time. Your honestly and willingness to approach topics as a neutral observer is what makes this channel so amazing! I genuinely look forward to these videos - especially when the world is so chaotic these days. You're a truly stellar human and I hope you know that :) keep up the hard work - it doesn't go unnoticed!!
Agreed. We love you dearly :)
It's impossible not to be depressed with a society like ours

This was an amazing episode. Thank you so much for speaking about depression. I got emotional because I can relate tremendously and I truly admire and appreciate the fact that you took the time to remind us that no one is alone in this struggle ❤ I’m such a big fan and it is so amazing hearing you speak on this. Thank you 🙏🏻

I, and I'm sure many others, am glad you kept in your personal disclosure of your struggles. I have struggled for decades, despite being, on the surface, highly functioning....With 2.9 million subscribers, that took courage on your part. It will also have helped people you have never met, to know none of us are alone....You, your crew and Hecklefish, are a gift to the World.....This is the kindest, most respectful, and inclusive channel on RUclips.....Thankyou, from the bottom of my heart ❤
Depression is a real serious matter, but In the case of this channel, it is probably just a lead-in for his next sponsor.
@@codetech5598 that’s just mean
AMEN. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ❤THIS❤AMAZING ❤CHANNEL!!!😊
@@ScandalUK No, it fits the business model of this channel.
@@codetech5598Are you always that cynic? Sounds exhausting and pretty stressful.
I just lost my wife of almost 26 yrs and two weeks ago my lil Chihuahua. I totally understand the depression part im ready to lose my home next its something I have to go thru as we all do. Not a day goes by without shedding a tear but do not forget who you are and reach out there even to just talk about your situation and i agree with another comment made you are a national hero much love to you and your family keep up the great work and God bless you !
❤️
Thank you for sharing your struggles. It means a lot, especially for people who are dealing with depression and darkness. Keep going. Keep strong.
I dont think most people realize the amount of work it takes to run your channel.
On behalf of all of your subscribers, Thank You AJ!!! We appreciate what you do, more than you know.
Yep. Please know that YOU are appreciated, AJ.💐
You are right, so many topics that are new to me, and I was a Coast to Coast fan back in the day--I especially like to GoBekli Tepi updates
I second this. Hats off to you or running such a great and interesting channel
AJ, thanks for including the topic of depression. It made a lot of us feel better that we’re not alone with this issue. And Hecklefish makes everyone smile!🙃❤
🥰 Yes Agreed!!
Thank you for sharing your personal struggles. There are many of us who struggle as you do, and we don’t to talk our support group. Thank you for speaking out. I can only believe our lives are destined to be Kintsugi.
Your passion, your curiosity, your care, and your encouragement is so needed today. Keep up the great work!
Man... that ending had me holding back tears 😢 😭
Definitely understand that feeling 💯
It's tough getting through the day at times... and just getting through the day is an accomplishment in itself. With that said... keep going. You never know when that day will come... it might be tomorrow...
So just keep going and your day will come... or not... but you'll never know unless you just keep going. I know it doesn't sound reassuring, sorry... but I'm still going through one day at a time for that day to come where everything I went through makes sense, and I can understand what all the darkness was for... and be able to look back and say I made it. To be able to help others who were in my position to have hope... to be an example of someone who made it out of that darkness. Til then... the only advice I can give is this...
JUST
KEEP
GOING
Much Love from New York ❤️🗽❤️
AJ, thanks so much for allowing yourself to be humble and vulnerable about your own struggles. You have likely helped more people than you know, my friend. ♥
As someone who lost his will to live and gained extreme amounts of weight and now I'm losing it and getting back onto society slowly but surely I appreciate you talking about your struggles.
🙂
The valleys that we go through only make you stronger and once you get back to the mountaintop..the view of life is truly inspirational. Keep your head up, you're worth it my friend.
This is the type of content I look forward to!!! Please keep it up. I’m so happy I found your page!
By far and away, one of my favourite episodes. Thank you for your courage to speak about your battle. You're inspirational and you've honored Kenney's memory in such a gracious way. Thank you!
Each week, I've watched the scripts, production and presentation becoming more and more refined, like some strange modern martial art that AJ and Moriarty are becoming masters of....and In doing so, each episode seems to be imbued with a little more heart and soul. But then there is this episode, which has so much loving, compassionate humanity radiating from it, it's almost overwhelming. Never change, AJ. 🙏
Amen! He is a treasure!
Long time lurker, enjoying the channel. Some time ago, i was on my way to my own M - cave. Made of depression, shame of myself and painful losses. I had the luck of being rescued out of it for friends and caring people. The struggle continues today, but therapy and family keep me fighting. One step every day.
Thanks for being a new voice on depression. To anyone on what i call "the pain of being you", a big hug and keep going. We're not alone.
❤
M caver here as well. I try to focus on anything but myself. I can send support out to others. 🤗
It's a daily practice for me. It's not easy, but it does get better.
People are such pussies nowadays. Feeling pity for themselves, desperate to be seen as victims.
Thanks mate. It's kickin my fuckin arse lately. I could do with a hug.
Great episode! Thanks for sharing your struggles. I hope Kenny is out there somewhere.
A great episode. Thank you for talking about struggles with depression. I truly hope Kenny is alive somewhere. I hope he finds his way home.
Thanks AJ & HF! My brothers murder six years ago left me with depression that I deal with till this day. I really appreciate what you said AJ. Way up here in the Rockies suicide is very prevalent. We’ve all lost a lot of friends in this valley. Now the men here are very receptive to talking about depression. Opening up like you did helps other men be more open about what has become an epidemic. Much love my brother! ❤
Institutionalized man hate has run amok
Sorry for your loss, friend.
@@bryanfukingfox thanks
I, too, am sorry for your loss!
@@ursinha115 thanks
Wish there were more channels like this out there, your research is thorough and you’re not completely sold on every conspiracy, you’re skeptical yet not dismissive. We need more of that
That jam at the end is so fresh and funky... this channel is so tight. Much thanks ❤
This was a special video. Thank you for sharing your personal struggles. I agree, I respect these people searching as well.
I found this channel about a year ago and I can tell you that your weekly upload is always something I look forward too. I especially feel that way now because just being vulnerable to millions of people about your own struggles makes you even more relatable. I have recommended your channel to several people lately and I hope they subscribe so they can see just how awesome your stories truly are. Keep up the great work A.J and The Why Files team!❤
"The why files" and "that chapter" are the two channels I watch religiously!
Man. The feelings from the last part of the video were unexpected. You are such a magnificent and relatable storyteller. If I could afford it I’d sponsor this channel running, exactly how it is, inevitably. Bravo!!
U sir, are incredible. That final monologue has me in tears. ❤
This is one of the few shows that makes youtube watchable. Thank you so much for the hard work yall do.
At first I was like "not another youtube video on the M cave". I've heard about the M cave so many times but nobody ever went this deep into Kenny's character. He seems like such a genuine guy. Him showing off his inventions you could see he was passionate about them. Thanks for giving us this point of view.
I also got a very sad, childlike vibe there. Like someone trying to act happy. Something was definitely off with the dude at that point. I'm not saying he killed himself...who knows. I am saying that to me it seems pretty obvious that his energy and personality felt a bit forced to say the least.
My heart goes out to Kenny's daughter and the rest of his family.
Loss of a parent unexpectedly is heart wrenching.
💜
Man you are such a awesome human. We all appreciate you. Keep up the amazing work.
Just wanted to thank you for sharing your struggle. I have family that has gone through it and have dealt with it at a particularly hard time in my life and came through. New to your channel and love the content and the way you deliver it. Thanks for what you do and Thoughts and prayers to Kenny’s family.
You have depression?.. dang man, I would’ve never guessed. I hope you know that you help thousands of people in their own tough times with your videos. You make a pretty big difference in the world and A LOT of people are better off because of you. We appreciate you man.
well a lot of people have depression, wouldn't be suprised if its a majority in today's society, but it's brave to say it out loud
Everyone does it's an emotion.
@@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman depression isnt an emotion, its much more than that. sadness is an emotion depression has a lot more attached to it
It just goes to show you should never judge a book by its cover ✌️
Alot of people have it, but refuse to show you it.
What I like about this channel is that it doesn't just scientifically and logically tackle every episode; sometimes AJ adds a twist of emotional storytelling.
Love every episode, but this one made me feel something. Thank you 🙏🏽
I’m so glad you keep making these videos. They’re so entertaining and the fact you always have a good message at the end is beautiful
I can't believe how upset hearing Kenny's story made me feel. He was the type of guy who wanted nothing more than to show the world his adventurous spirit and inventive mind. He stayed true to himself even if that meant going bankrupt and going as far as offering himself and his house to someone who was willing to buy his services (that video made me so incredibly sad, it was probably his last option). It's even more sad that he had so many people who loved and supported him and yet he most probably lost the battle with depression. It's heartbreaking how this treacherous disease can corrupt the minds of such amazing and free spirited people like Kenny. I will never forget his story and it will always serve me as a reminder that even the people who look the strongest, aren't safe from struggling with some of the darkest thoughts.
He brought his firearm and the white truck guys were spooked and when it looked like he might reach for his gun they likely shot and killed him. They were the government so they knew of his mental history and made it look like a suicide. It wouldn't hurt to have a low dose rad meter for radiation detection out there.
The “help me” over and over is gut wrenching
Wow, really nicely said, & u nailed it when u said depression is " this treacherous disease that can corrupt the minds' of such amazing and free spirited people like Kenny! " Sadly, I think this treachery afflicts us, all, at some point in time, to varied degrees, and others tragically struggle with it, like many, chronic diseases, so here's hoping, it doesn't affect you as a chronic disease! You're a talented writer, who writes in a clear, concise, and poignant manner which helps inspire me, as a would-be writer. Blessings & happiness! If you're part of the WF community, I look forward to seeing more of your well written comments! 😺🌟✨💫
@@michaelblaine6494 I can't even comprehend what he must've gone through...
@@leighterry943 Ah, yes, I'm a part of the WF community pretty much since the very beginning! Thank you so much for your comment because it's not often that someone leaves such heartwarming comments like yours. It really made me smile a lot, you kind stranger! 🥹🩷
Depression is nothing to be ashamed of, but the feeling is weary understandable and human, super strong that you share this with us. And you do deserve all the support you get! Remember you are appreciated.
Yes thank you. I'm depressive too and appreciate your honesty
Exactly 💯💯😌!!!!! THANK God for the people who understand THAT HAVING DEPRESSIVE MENTAL DISORDERS IS A WHOLE DAILY STRUGGLE,& HAS TO BE REALISTICALLY ACCEPTED BY THE INDIVIDUAL AS PART OF THEIR DAILY LIFESTYLE
PDD all my life. Somehow I'm still here.
Found your channel yesterday, your now my favourite you tuber! Your a great guy ❤ and opening up about depression made me love you more
The last bit, and the words that popped up for a second were what i needed, when i needed it. I know this video is a month old but thanks AJ, and thanks God.
The part about suffering depression was very touching. I struggle myself. Too many suffer in silence. Excellent episode. Thanks again, AJ, and Why Files crew. As always, you all produce top teir vids
Hang in there, my friend. You are stronger than you know.
@@TheWhyFiles always ♥️
I resisted getting medication for depression because I thought depression meant I could not handle my emotions. When I talked to my doctor, he said it has nothing to do with my emotions but a chemical imbalance in the brain. After thinking about it that way I started mediation. Smartest move I ever made and wish I had done it sooner.
After being on medication for a while, I marveled that my husband had wanted to marry me and could put up with me for so long before I got help. I even maxed out on one medication and found it was not doing the job anymore. After being off all medications for a while I realized I still needed medication. Since my original symptoms don't really exist anymore, I now need to find the right medication for the symptoms I have now.
I have never forgotten what my doctor said. Considering how suspect everything (Food, paint, personal grooming products etc ..)is in our lives, it's no surprise the increase in depression and other mental health issues.
If you or someone you know suffers from depression, just know that the root cause is a chemical imbalance in the brain. Medication can help along with other treatments as needed. Once on medication remember it only works if you take it as it's prescribed.
As some one who suffers heavily from depression, I find it inspiring that you’re able to do what you do and do it so well. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us.
Hi friend. Please check into Magic Mushrooms. They work. Oregon just legalized them but you can grow them at home, its not hard and nobody is going to catch you. You can microdose so you don't even know you're taking them.
I was very hesitant to reply to your message, but I truly hope this helps you. I suffered from depression for more than 35 years. I went to therapy, took antidepressants, and tried hard to get better but with very little success. One day while searching for medication videos, I came across a guided meditation by Dr. Joe Dispenza. After finishing it, got curious and bought his book “breaking the habit of being yourself”, which taught me basically this: I trained myself to be depressed, by constantly reliving traumatic events over and over again, and by doing so, I also felt the feelings associated with such events, over and over again. My subconscious learned the behavior, and it became automatic. Now I didn’t have to think about my traumatic experiences to feel sad and scared; my subconscious made sure I felt that way, 24/7. I got better by doing the exact opposite. I trained my subconscious to feel better and after months of conscious work, I started to get better and better. Now, after 3 years of work I can finally say I am no longer depressed, I lost weight and my stiffness is almost gone.
You can beat it too. Remember this: everything the mind creates is reversible. Please don’t think I’m telling you to abandon your therapy. I’m just telling you what work for me in hopes it helps you. God bless you and good luck.
Mate, you’re a legend. This channel is just freaking amazing. 🙏
I absolutely wish i had found this channel sooner! Very quickly my favorite!! The good news is, that i get to binge watch the old episodes while waiting for the new!
Can't say this enough.. this is the best channel on RUclips right now. And much respect that you open up about depression and normalising it as it should be, no one should be afraid to show they are depressed because others are always there to help. Thanks so much for this great episode AJ!
Oh boy, I already knew most of this story, but this version was fascinating and informative. It made me cry. I feel so horrible for Kenny and everyone who suffers from depression. sending healing vibes to those who need them.
Healing vibes
Just started watching this channel a few days ago and I’m hooked!
Love your channel AJ! Hope all is going well this year and I will continue to always watch your new videos !
Thanks so much for speaking on depression including your own struggles. I literally have goosebumps right now, commenting immediately after listening to that part. Thank you thank you. And also - I hope you are proud you found the strength to not delete it from the script a “fifth” time . ❤
Always be kind because everyone we meet is fighting battles inside that we never see....
Thank you for being brave and sharing your personal story, AJ. Trust me when I say the world is a better place because you have overcome your obstacles. We love you! DS9 fans unite!
I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now. This one is the best so far, super positive and real sharing about depression. I was extremely moved by it thank you!
Thank you for your honesty about your personal struggles. My respect for you and the Why Files just shot up even higher. You are a good person and an exceptional example of kindness. We need more of this in our culture. Thanks again.
We wouldn't have guessed that AJ. You're such a happy, funny, fun loving guy! I guess there is a lesson to be learned by AJ talking about his own struggles. Some times the happiest people have the most hurt inside them.
I believe robin williams has a saying for that, unfortunately I also fall into that category
I am a veteran in a rehab. The stigma is the hurdle. Thank you for always delivering a good story...now i respect your journey. Thank you for being strong and having enough courage to be vulnerable.
Thanks go to you as well. One day at a time👊🏼
On behalf of everyone out here in Why Files Nation who’s fought the demons of depression in or throughout our lives, thank you for briefly sharing your own experience with depression. Every time someone respected admits this very human and faultless condition, society moves a little closer to eliminating its stigma - and perhaps for one or more viewers, your admission is the straw that broke Gertie’s back when it comes to getting the help they need. Thank you, AJ - from all of us.
stay strong my friend... remember it may seem far away but a step in that direction everyday before you know it you will be there
There is no stigma
@@gordonpsmith8958 What stigma?
You arent alone in your battle of depression. Hope yours is getting better. Your videos definitly help with my own.
Tha ks for sharing your story! Love this channel, by the way! 🎉
