Is there something about family for you that's bittersweet? Ethan (literally the brother-in-law of Trisha Paytas): Not that I can think of

[@addled_catalyst]

he's so stubborn 🙄

[@baabaq9126]

He's iterally mentioned having had a complicated relationship with his dad plus some resentment. But maybe its just not at the forefront of his mind so he couldn't make the connection

She's pretty irrelevant now, I don't he considers her family at all as he doesn't even talk to his brother in law.

I 100% agree with Love and AB on this one. That was 100% calculated. She knew that statement would have backlash, become a meme etc. it’s for sure to keep people talking about them and to keep them in the headlines. They know it wasn’t bad enough to be canceled or really even lose fans. And I also wouldn’t doubt this whole Kanye drama is also to help their show.

[@skittlesthegummybear]

I think the reading on Hilas sexuality or whatever and how it was rebellious to the norm doesn’t mean she’s bi but that she’s in a straight relationship but challenging the “norms”. Hence why everyone keeps referring to Ethan as Hilas husband because she’s the boss in their relationship. The astrologer deserved more respect.

[@Astr0B]

You don’t need to be an astrologer to know that shit through

[@katienewby1901]

i respect Hila’s opinion but the statement “i don’t think you can plan viral moments like this” comes off as naive. The Kardashian’s careers have been built on these viral moments keeping them in public conversation, the point is obviously to do so in a way that doesn’t seem planned or else it wouldn’t work. They’ve had their fair share of scandals and faux paus enough to know how certain things will play out in today’s climate. Kim knows very well there’s an image of her as a sort of spoiled spoon fed celebrity, the whole “Kim there’s people that are dying” meme was based purely on that. I don’t think she’d be stupid enough to completely innocently say no one wants to work just get your ass up and work and not expect the same sort of backlash. The Kardashian’s image and statements as a whole have been extremely calculated for years, as evidenced by their steady position in pop culture for decades now. That doesn’t just happen, most celebrities have a peak or waxing and waning of popularity which is only natural with the constant influx of new celebrities to talk about. But the Kardashian’s have remained, Kris is a mastermind manager she’s very good at what she does and no doubt that mindset and methodology influences her children day to day.

[@katienewby1901]

@you cannot be serious i think they are biased from their own personal experience of people accusing them of faking the trisha drama, Ethan even says later that Kim’s sex tape was a publicity stunt but not this. What’s the difference ? Why would they only pull such a thing once and then never again when they know it works.

[@dudeman5303]

Also, the media totally grabs ahold of this stuff to make it go viral too. It's not necessarily planned out but they see what they're doing and gladly take the bait and help circulate it because it makes them money too. When Kim says something like that everyone knows it's gonna get clicks, it's to be expected at this point.

[@alaDepecheMode]

I just re-watched the part where Hila and Ethan shot down Love and A.B.'s point of view. I realized that Hila started taking it personal. This conversation was not about the Kardashian's anymore, it was about all the accusations Hila and Ethan have had over the last year. I agree with Love, this is about a Billion dollar Brand which happens to be a Family Business.

[@shannonL0]

Agreed!!! She was taking it personally and only thinking of her own personal experiences. It was disappointing how rudely she was speaking of PR people, just bc she met with people who were incompetent (in her mind) does not mean she knows better than every PR person out there lol. Highly underestimated the access the Kardashuans have

[@elenah8860]

@@shannonL0 its so out of touch for them to think that they have any insight on PR on the Kardashian level. They are youtubers at the end of the day I don't understand how they felt like they could talk about this so confidently... very entitled. With peace and love, this is coming from a big fan

[@ferrypanda]

Exactly! Just because Hila and Ethan would never want to intentionally get bad publicity, it doesn’t mean celebrities and/or people in power don’t. Think of politicians as a prime example, they will say hyperbolic, out of touch things all the time to get an inflammatory response and get publicity, because when you are at that level of fame and power, good acts don’t get as much attention. All publicity is good publicity to them. Hila started taking it personally because I’m sure going through drama and getting hate is incredibly hard, and it’s taken a toll on their family, and she can’t imagine that people would go through that willingly. But what they are neglecting to see is that that’s the Kardashians brand, that’s exactly how they have stayed relevant over the years. Talking down to the crew and using their “experience” over them was uncomfortable to watch and I hope they still have enough self awareness and humility to reflect on that and apologize to the crew later. They need to put the crew first over their pride and personal feelings on this.

[@hippylove1425]

I’m starting to see what people mean when they say Ethan is rude af to AB. He always shoots down what he says. Even if AB is just making a joke Ethan has to pick it apart somehow 🙄

[@nwts4582]

I think he needs to just stop announcing or talking about guests before they come. I get that they wanna hype it up so people watch but it would solve a lot of the problem of guests not wanting to come or people getting all bent out of shape about stuff. Problem would be solved.

[@kaitlinkidd08]

I think people forget Ethan was formerly known as a comedian, not a podcaster. So when he rips on guests its not really considered out of the norm in that line of work. It’s how you build a relationship with the audience. I think it might come off as mocking in this setting but he doesn’t mean any harm, it’s just how he tests the waters.

[@whowantsmypants8888]

[@kkaattyy]

agree 100%! as out of touch as it was, i found it just weird more than anything else.

[@bellah.7171]

yeah i think hila is def a little triggered and sensitive to the topic bc of the trisha drama and how far and gross it went ppl still were speculating "fake fake" so it's a soft spot but i fully disagree. you can't just shut down someone's very valid opinion bc a vaguely similar situation happened of being accused, youtubers and h3h3 is sooo different from the kardashians. the kardashians are full blown celebs w/ supermodels, tv shows, makeup and clothes companies, i mean so much they've been calculating their every move forever now. what kim said was for sure to get shock value and she knew she'd get a rise out of ppl.

[@K._M]

Ethan and Hila have accomplished so much and their careers are completely self-made, which makes all that they’ve achieved even more impressive, but they need to humble themselves. Do they really think H3 is at all comparable to the Kardashian-Jenner empire? These are direct quotes from a tone-deaf Hila: “Their staff doesn’t know shit, it doesn’t work like that” “Have you tried working with, like, an agency? Those people don’t know shit about nothing” “We’ve been in drama and we’ve been accused of it too” “Whenever we’ve tried to talk to anybody like that, or work with, it’s like, you really learn that you know way better than all of them” “I think that we’ve seen enough to tell you” Competent PR agencies might be out of H3’s budget, but the Kardashians can definitely afford them

[@Ria-Jade]

Exactly this. Was really shocked at how naive those comments were. Even I know that. Come on Hila

So sad to watch her be talked over and shut down, it’s okay to be skeptical but damn the disrespect was too gnarly for me. Turned me off in a major way :/

[@Mojojojo85757]

He does that a lot … it’s a character flaw for sure. One time he had a fan call in to discuss why he no longer enjoyed the podcast like he used to and Ethan just kept cutting him off, talking over him, and being rude af. And the guy was soooo polite and respectful. It made him look like a total douche. lol I’ve come to realize that Ethan really just can’t help himself and I have to accept that part of him if I’m going to enjoy the content because I honestly don’t see him changing. I do believe strongly that ethans a good guy overall and he means well, but when he gets hype about something and thinks he knows all and he’s right it IS such a turnoff.

The Astrology segment COULD have been amazing if Ethan had given her an ounce of respect. It was so cringe and rude. It was embarrassing watching him be so dismissive. She had charts for everyone and I'm sure most of the audience would have been interested in hearing them.

[@nola1439]

Maren Altman is a scammer. she charges $1500 for a class in how to use the stars to invest your money. Multiple really gullible and vulnerable people have lost a lot of money to her insanity. She’s also a racist, stole content and predictions from black creators, has said people who aren’t vegan are committing genocide worse than the holocaust, and has said indigenous people are bad for eating meat. They went easy on her. They shouldnt have given her a platform to begin with. She’s actually evil and takes advantage of poor people.

[@StarringMaja]

Yeah definitely, I think a lot of the crew looked curious and interested to hear it too. I was looking forward to it too. Kind of disappointing we only got to hear so little and felt as if Ethan was rushing her a lot by saying skip to the negative parts. I can only imagine that it would have taken Maren a while to even create those charts for the entire crew, to be basically rushed and not taken seriously the entire time. Being skeptical is fine but they could have been at least respectful.

The girl who spoke on horoscopes was actually really enlightening (forgive me, I'm forgetting her name). I'm a pretty big nonbeliever when it comes to all of that stuff, and am typically pretty annoyed by people who do nothing but go on & on about it. But she spoke so eloquently, and was so well-articulated & well-studied, that she really opened my mind a lot to some new perspectives. Genuinely enjoyed her points a lot, and it was all presented in a way that was very easily digestible and well illustrated. I always appreciate someone's passion when they approach an argument with the confidence they've put into their craft/studies. Really wish Ethan would pull back sometimes and not interject so much with what he thinks is funny and will get a laugh from the crew (Dan). Just common courtesy in conversation to at least let people finish their sentences and their thoughts when they're clearly trying to go somewhere larger with it and move forward.

[@Geenaa213]

This is embarrassing. Three of the four people living in my house don’t know who “Hila and Ethan” are. 30s, a kid, and older folks. But all of us know Kim. Why are you guys confidently comparing yourselves to…. The Kardashian’s. What I am to Hila and Ethan, Hila and Ethan are to Kim and her family. Are you guys that conceited that you think your Hollywood experience is even REMOTELY comparable to a BILLIONAIRE who everyone in the world knows. Why are you guys talking so confidently about something you obviously know nothing about? Traditional celebrities have always planned viral moments. Always. Even before they were called viral moments. Just so you know… If you read TMZ, and watched keeping Up with the Kardashians you will notice a DISTINCT difference between the stories that are real, and the ones that seem kind of…….. odd……… and then WOULDNT YOU KNOW! that very incident has a two episode arc. They WITHOUT QUESTION plan things strategically. Like, you don’t think people fake date in Hollywood? I’m so confused. I live in New York and even from knowing people LOOSELY in the industry bc of that, I know about drama often being fake. Honestly, I don’t even think this WAS fake. I’m just mad how certain you guys are 😂. I honestly think she was right. Like, I grew up wealthy and went to a private college with all wealthy kids- not one of them started a business at 20 like kim did. YES she had connections. Absolutely. But most rich kids do cocaine and don’t start working for daddy until they’re 26 and all partied out. I think a lot of people DO think that someone is going to come knocking on their door and offer them the world if they just believe 😂. I mean, the popularity of “manifesting” and how many people pass those chain letters on tiktok (Ching Ching Ching goes the money tree) proves that. Like, maybe go to a few investing and money making tiktoks. I’m kidding- but I think a lot of people do stop working hard at a point and are satisfied with where they are and kim and her family never are. And that’s the average person. Cause like I said, out of the rich kids I grew up with, none of us had our first job til like 21. And I mean like *our first job*… like working at a summer camp or something… and didn’t work seriously til much older. And seriously maybe like ONE person had a job in HS bc their parents made them. Even the fact kim worked in her dads office in Hs is insane. Like, with rich people, that’s almost like….. if your kids “have to work” while kids it makes you look bad 😂. The fact they can focus on extra curricular is the bragging dream. I don’t know so what you will about her but she definitely is a hard worker. Most people who grow up rich are like railing cocaine And don’t work in any capacity. Even if they’re really pretty or whatever.

Hila seemed so offended by Love saying that Kim was acting in that "get your ass up and work" clip, but do people not remember who she was an assistant to?? She learned that from Paris Hilton who said shit like that all the time for publicity. Paris literally had a reality show based on the concept of being spoiled and having to learn about poor people. Kim also copied the orchestrated sex tape from her. Not a stretch at all for Love to think that. That being said, I don't think the Kanye/Pete stuff is fake.

[@emmerrick4563]

Literally

[@beebhabie]

But Paris was playing into the stereotypical dumb, ditzy blonde act that everyone was portraying her as anyways. Even at the time, there was comedic aspect to it.. She wasn’t spewing tone deaf, offensive things about poor people moreso as she was making fun of her *own* lack of real life experiences and etc. There was nothing comical or shtick about what Kim said.. It got attention because of her total lack of self awareness and zero irony behind it.

[@jessicasuea]

I’m graduating this April with a BS in Public Relations. There are DEFINITELY PR geniuses that would calculate & pull this off. I can’t even begin to understand Hila & Ethan’s thinking on this, it’s just not true & their blatant disbelief of such a thing is quite shocking. The saying, “any publicity is good publicity” is around for a reason. PR stunts like this happen all the time, especially with the Kardashians. They’re literally the best examples of it. I do think the family is dense, but Kris Jenner and her PR minions are definitely working over time to create scandals to cover up scandals. That isn’t a hard concept to understand - or believe. AGAIN, they CREATE scandals to COVER up scandals. OR create scandals, so that people will tune into their show (that’s been running for 20+ seasons) to get the story from the Kardashians perspective. That’s the reality of what’s happening here… AB & Love, you guys are not wrong about this.

[@Amsims]

100% agree with the crew. The Kardashians have a history of this. And yes there are pr teams who do this. That’s why there’s a saying the devil works hard but Kris Jenner works harder. Peace and love but don’t be rude because someone has a different more insightful opinion than your own.

[@savannahthomas]

I think that’s what it is, Ethan and Hila just can’t fathom it. But there are plenty of rich/well off people who haven’t parlayed that into fame and success like the whole kardashian/jenner family has. Kim always stays in the headlines - for example, her televised wedding to the basketball player (and short lived marriage). Do the Klein’s not think that was calculated? Yes, some scandals happen naturally and Kim may have meant the work statement, but her whole career has been calculated. She (her mother, her team) are marketing geniuses.

[@Pepperoni]

Agreed. The back and forth with Hila, AB, and Love made me extremely uncomfortable. AB’s voice cracked because he was uncomfortable, and Love had to back down. This doesn’t happen when Hila isn’t there. Hila seems to have found herself and I love that for her, but she’s not bringing anything positive to this show anymore, just bringing it down. Her CEO-mom girl boss routine ruins the pod. When she barks at the crew they can’t stand up for themselves because she’s their employer and they clearly don’t have the rapport with her like they do Ethan. It’s very awkward to watch.

[@officialgoogleyoutube]

It's fair to say that Ethan and Hila don't know what it's like at that level of celebrity, but at the same time that also applies to all of us, who probably have substantially less knowledge of the power of celebrity PR teams than Ethan and Hila do. Like, they have some level of celebrity, they've spoken to PR people. We have not. So I think perhaps we also need to check our own egos in this discussion. Like, c'mon, it's not that hard to commit "cancelable offenses" and stick around.

Couldn’t even respond to what the astrologer had to say about her chart and had to ask Ethan what he thought to end the awkward silence- yet is so opinionated about something nobody knows for fact. Love and AB repeat there is no way they can know anything for sure and it’s just an idea. But Hila and Ethan think they know for fact because they’ve been through KZbin drama? World wide celebrity publicity is so much different. Ethan thinks people aren’t “competent” enough to be so calculated, but if people can think of the conspiracies after an event, there are people that are high up enough in the world to have the same idea originally and actually carry them out. It’s also just cringe to watch them be so demeaning to anyone with a different opinion. No one can question them but everyone else is belittled and called paranoid. Whole vibe is off tbh. Props to the astrologer for being so professional. That segment could have been good if Ethan would have given her even 1/2 of the respect he gave peanut butter Craig.

[@DrMattPhillips]

They argue over how hard it is to calculate such a large PR stunt, am I the only one here thinking... It's not exactly that complicated of a PR move. During the lockdown, Kim got backlash for being out of touch due to her wealth when she had her birthday party on the secluded island. This was likely accidental backlash. Then someone notices that and says, "hey, this story was everywhere, wasn't it? Why don't we just do it again to stir up buzz for the show & control the narrative?" They do just that with a generic 'poor women don't work hard' statement' then add an anti-feminist tint on top for good measure and would you look at that, the same outcome as last time, but this time tied into a show promotion. I disagree that there aren't genius media manipulation people out there in traditional media, but even besides that... It's hardly a big brain chess move. It's literally recreating something that ALREADY happened. Kim & her team have done bigger than this before. The scale of this is being overblown by Ethan & Hila quite substantially & yet everyone's arguing like that premise they gave is true.

I really didn’t like this conversation because they should be more open to hearing a different perspective and try not to get so defensive.

Most of us watching can almost always predict that we will hear about keem, who I, personally think is nothing & you talk about him as if He is, if your audience doesn’t like keem, stop fking talking about him & find a cool subject to talk about, interesting, smart. 4. You’re basically becoming a tea channel on drugs. 5. When people call in LIVE show them some respect. Understand that they’re not in a studio with a whole. Crew ready to fire & be funny ( sound bites included) It’s cruel. You seem to enjoy making others look bad . The lovely girl who called in ( astrologer ) was so caught off guard by your none stop insulting words & horrible demeanor … belittled her to the point that her poor voice was cracking. Asking her if there’s any credentials, as if she couldn’t say THE SAME THING BACK. “ so why do I have to listen to you, aren’t you just like a regular post cast & all the information you say, Google & the whole world already knows” you’re a total jerk for that. But the dude that calls in on Fridays ( WC DAVE) a character from Beavis & Butthead, screams “ vooooobaby fk fk fk voooo “ like it’s some EXCITING VIBE. It’s Anoying as FCK Ethen. I fast forward that part EVERY FRIDAY. Sounds like SHIT on headphones / just fyi. Says a lot about you, you cheer on this dude who says 2 words on repeat- but a girl humbly going on your show, gets humiliated. You Owe her an apology. You’re a hypocrite, you talk about being all chill & you’re the cool dad brah, PEACE & LOVE bs. while at the same time putting others down just bc you think THE OLDEST way of reading & understanding life is a bunch of BS. Your own crew felt bad…. They basically apologized to her - for you! at the end. AB you’re kind & thank you for giving her a break from the embarrassment Ethen caused her in front of 1000’s viewers, good thing you don’t kiss azz ( like a few of them do ) I almost turned it off bc it’s was so sad to hear how carelessly you could think of someone’s life & passion. No wonder you’re losing subs. Let me remind you, MORE THAN HALF THESE LISTENERS LOVE THE CREW, more than you. If I were you I’d TAKE THE HUBMLE PIECE OF PIE YOU !STILL!TALK ABOUT /// & EAT IT. Come back down to earth, you were much cooler when you didn’t have to tell us every 20 minutes. “

Yeah I think Hila and Ethan took it way too personally

[@emcandi]

When I first saw what she said I was outraged as everyone else, but when you stop and think about it- that’s exactly what they want you to do. Their bad publicity gives hype around the show and you can see a pattern with this family that they do stuff like this RIGHT before the new season airs. I think Ethan and hila just centered this around their own experiences and got defensive.

[@carbonatedPigeon]

@@emcandi exactly. The only reason I'm even hearing anything about the Kardashians is because of H3 talking about this drama. I knew nothing that was going on with them beforehand, but now I know a new season of their TV show is airing soon, and that show will portray even more of this drama. Same thing with Kim and "Skims" - the only reason I heard about her new company is because of the controversy with her naming it "Kimono" in the beginning

AB & Love are right - the kardashians are absolutely calculated in their drama. they don't care if they receive negative backlash because they're rich and beautiful, they can get away with it and still thrive. it's different than when the average youtuber is involved in drama.

[@dustspores6396]

Can someone please explain to Ethan and Hila that "scripted" doesn't have to mean word for word lines written out for people to say. Reality shows are "scripted" by just asking the right questions to get a certain response out of someone that they can play with in editing. I can definitely see Kris and Kim having a conversation going something like: "let's mention the lack of workers in this interview cause that's a problem for big companies rn like ours."

[@Zeynepchen]

Exactly reality tv is highly orchestrated. When they said they don’t believe that I couldn’t take them seriously. There are enough bts information how producers orchestrate stuff like that.

[@JennaEmbers]

any time the subject of reality tv being fake comes up on the show they are usually defensive about it and i think it’s because they both just really enjoy watching reality tv together and want to be able to believe that it is real. which yeah, to your point, the conversations are often real but the plot points are often contrived. but i think accepting that would take a lot of the fun out of it for them so i don’t think that’s gonna happen lol.

[@janejanejaney]

@@JennaEmbers True, there are sociology and media books that cover the ethical controversies of reality TV production. It's not a secret and it's well studied. There are literally producers called "fluffers" whose sole job is to rile up participants in shows and encourage meltdowns (mainly on shows like Jeremy Kyle, Maury and Big Brother, but I imagine they're involved in most reality shows). Reading about it tends to make me feel sad for people on these shows, so I get why Ethan and Hila would rather deny and ignore the level of production that goes into reality tv.

[@SB-se7vb]

It’s probably semantics but your interpretation is closer to “staged”. “Scripted” is a more faithful iteration.

[@LivBlanks]

EXCUSE ME? How TF can Ethan and Hila say that Kim was just on the spot doing that interview? Don't we ALREADY know that every interview is sent to the Family before hand? They get to pick and choose which questions they will be asked, therfore they get to sit there and CALCULATE their answers. So yes they have teams on teams sitting there helping them write and rehearse their answers to these "interview questions." I'm with Love and AB. Yall are right, and you know that. Sucks to have to bite your tongue for your boss. But hey, we regular people have to do it everyday too lol.

The way Ethan and Hila felt defensive to say that these things weren’t planned kinda gave the implication that they are in a close enough proximity class or social wise to understand their mindset which is such a far off take and just not correct, They are not in a league comparable to the kardashians. the Kardashians do have massive groups of people around them much smarter than them, they have the smartest group of people surrounding them

[@novaleeyvonne5618]

I vote the crew has their own show without Ethan and Hila. I find myself skipping through Ethan's rants quite often, but this was absurd.

[@suna2317]

The end discussion…just really missed the mark. The conversation was handled very poorly. A fact that still surprises me considering how long Ethan has been doing these podcasts. You’d think he’d have learned how to keep a balanced talk. I think having a private conversation with friends that gets a little heated like that is fine. It happens. But in a professional setting with an audience of thousands watching…I feel like there is some responsibility there for a boss to keep the peace and maintain a safe talking environment. Even if that means taking a step back from strong opinions and trying to keep a level of mutual understanding. It just seems like Ethan wants an echo-chamber of yes men sometimes, and can’t handle disagreeing opinions in a tactful manner. Hila too surprisingly. It has happened a few times in the show where Ethan has undermined his crew in front of thousands. Now I know why they are hesitant to speak out on controversial things. Because their own boss jumps at their throats, never mind the audience lol

[@karleeviator5278]

[@m00nrac00n]

As a long time fan way before the Podcast this episode kinda hurt, not gonna lie. The call was horrible, I felt bad for the Astrologer - you really should not talk like that to a working class person who took extra time out of their day to prepare all of this. Acting like that towards AB and Love was painful aswell. I always thought the working environment must be super nice at H3, but those past episodes some crew members seemed kind of intimidated and held back a lot. Comes off a bit tense, ngl. The crew dynamic really makes the show, but only works if everyone can express their opinion. Ethan and Hila's judgement is clouded and tone-deaf recently - I dont know if its just stress with the baby & co. or just classism - but you guys gotta work this out or the show will drop in quality fast.
