The Lovato Crime Family Comes For Ethan & True Crime PowerPoint - Off The Rails #80

[@julescoady9665]

I just want to say, I watch MANY podcasts. Zach’s quickness with his sound bites and his sense of humour is truly an art form. He’s in a league of his own. Just wanted to show him some love.

[@MarcHendry]

55:50 playing *only* the inhale from the "oh boy big news" sound is next level🤯

[@m.a.b.4104]

Agree, of the many different podcasts I've watched, Zac is on another level. Not being a stoner must allow him to stay sharp, he's so quick with the drops a lot of the time.🧑‍🎤

[@ReadyEddielicious]

Not only that, he handles audio levels so well. As someone who studies audio engineering, I know you have to be vigilant and organized, especially when someone else can control their own gain dial. Doing that AND sound biting so well, I'm inspired many times.

Ethan’s rant about Demi’s sister has to be one of the funniest things he’s ever said. The bury the yogurt, extending the tiktok rose that costs 1 cent, saying she panhandles for Tik tok stickers, that she goes and asks Demi for money atleast once a month and Olivia interrupting to say “she’s never coming on here now” I love Goblin Ethan

[@XhumpersX]

okay, purely based on madison’s face in the tiktok when bringing up h3, I believe allegedly that she wanted this to happen, she tweeted hoping that ethan would see it and want her on the show so she could get that attention. until I hear the true story, it’s my headcanon that demi doesn’t care but madison is a fallen fan and wants ethan’s attention. she called in and she knows that ethan is going to keep talking about her until she eventually gets to come on the show.

They should totally try mysteries though, those are a bit more of an uncharted territory on YT.

The presentation was so well researched and put together, but I've heard about serial killers like the nightstalker, ted bundy, johnn wayne gacy and jeffrey dahmer, etc like 20,000 times. I've watched the A and E biographies, seen movies, did my own reading.

AGREED, especially since most people have already watched the Night Stalker documentary series on netflix, I felt that this case in general has been covered thoroughly and is out of date… idk i just feel if they are going to do a true crime segment they should choose unique ones that aren’t covered. maybe more so ones that are unsolved or aren’t talked about often to shed light on cases left in the dark.

[@megaonion]

I think true crime is just a different rodeo than what Ethan and h3 is doing/is prepared for. Putting real life tragedies and crime in the middle of a comedy podcast doesn’t reach the audience it might’ve intended it to be. Shoutout to AB and Lena, though! But I think that trying a serious topic like this that already has its own controversies can break the comedic cohesion of what makes this podcast special. Just not the time or place but much love. Sometimes things don’t work, and that’s okay.

There are so many channels dedicated to true crime, but nothing else can give what H3 gives. Thats what we come here for. I love Lena and AB and was happy to see them get the spotlight but i dont think this is it.

[@abbykyles7685]

Agreed, especially since most people have already watched the Night Stalker documentary series on netflix, I felt that this case in general has been covered thoroughly and is out of date… idk i just feel if they are going to do a true crime segment they could choose unique ones that aren’t covered if they continue with the segment. maybe more so ones that are unsolved or aren’t talked about often to shed light on cases left in the dark.

[@jaxsmith1204]

I think this was a tough one because (with love to Lena ❤) all the true crime fans who would have been excited for a crime PowerPoint already saw the Nightstalker Netflix doc, and anyone who doesn’t know of this case doesn’t like true crime anyway. So she got a tough crowd. Also, typing full paragraphs on PowerPoint slides and then reading the slides word for word is something we’re taught not to do in school. The PowerPoint is just meant to be a guide with visual aids and bullet points, while the story telling is up to the presenter from memory. Overall, I DO want to see more from Lena and AB and I hope this encourages them both to keep improving! I loved the effort, and thought AB’s ad-lib input really elevated the whole thing! Lena looked cute in her glasses too! Edit to add: something more relevant and lighthearted would have worked better than 1980s ultra dark SA stories. Think Carlee Russell and Sherri Papini’s cringe kidnapping hoaxes for example. THAT would have been funny and also relevant to current events.

[@SixHundredAndSixtySix]

Agreed, Lena's voice was very flat and reminded me of people reading presentation slides in high school in the most boring way possible.

[@jaxsmith1204]

@@SixHundredAndSixtySix Exactly. I get that she was nervous, but this is a multi-million dollar podcast with 50,000 ppl watching. I think improv/acting classes would do Lena a world of good, and I mean that sincerely. I’ve taken them before and it really does give you confidence and change how you speak, perform. It’s worth it for the pod to invest in her taking a once a week class like that ❤️ I hope Ethan pays for that, it would improve the pod overall. Not everyone can be a natural like Ethan! And Olivia was a theater kid to begin with, so she has that training. It’s okay for Lena to take some classes. The whole team could have either prepared her better or put a stop to it before going live. Do they not do focus groups or brainstorming sessions together? No test run with the crew? Lena is taking the heat, but someone should have put a stop to this before it went live. Her monotone voice needed work, the subject matter was outdated, dark, and irrelevant, and the slides were text heavy/scripted. These are all fixable problems, and id love to see what she comes back with after some improv/acting classes!! We love her, she just needs to be set up for success!

I’m a massive True Crime fan so was super excited for this powerpoint, which was so amazingly put together, but so dissapointed that it was just 90% reading out the slides in a monotone voice. The great thing about Olivia’s powerpoints is that she has a lot of her own knowledge about the subjects she talks about and can add a bunch of information to slides with just a couple pictures and small amounts of text to keep it interesting and feeling like a natural conversation about a topic. Lena’s powerpoint looks AMAZING and the effort was so high, I just wish next time Lena / AB talk about something they can add their own info about and don’t just read out walls and walls of text that make it sound a little like a school history lecture.

Or some obsession with trying to "fix/save" someone, or "save" society by fixing this person. It usually is from being exposed to violence and abuse and not having processed it and dealt with the trauma in a healthy manner, so many fkn issues and behaivors are created from trauma, it can take a lifetime to deal with it all and thats only if the person is self aware enough or has someone in their life to help them through the journey.
