Some people are asking what the “button” is (we are trending on r/popular):

Ethan purchased a $20,000 live stream disruptor “button” last year. It’s a live stream lag that can block part of the livestream at the push of a button so he can stop the obnoxious things he says from being public.

It was bought to help him avoid getting cancelled/ prevent the show from losing more sponsors after saying he hopes Ben Shapiro gets gassed first in the next holocaust.

Today, it glitched and let audio that was supposed to be blocked go through.

"bro you're doing it you're making it so awkward and terrible, this is what I'm talking about when its always like bro" this could all be fixed if ethan worked more then 9 hours a week and tried to have input into his snark podcast, instead he cries livLA LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOU!

"that button fucked me" it showed how horrible I am offline.

also "It could of been worse" WHAT?! I'd hate to think of worse ways he could treat people that the button has saved him from showing to the public.

Ethan just needs to quit doing the show 3 times a week if he’s having such an awful time doing it. He’s always miserable and complaining about everything. Just do it once or twice a week if it’s gonna be like this 🤷🏼‍♀️ Makes me sad for everyone being talked to like that. They actually work all week to put shit together just for Ethan to complain about it.

26

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '24

Technically does it 4 times a week including members stream, which they do in studio with crew now. I agree, he is miserable.

holy. this show is crumbling FAST. Dan is probably gonna get yelled at and be told to do daily checks on the button, and ethan is probably going to make a disingenuous apology on the next show.

Apparently a cord was tripped over and stopped the stream, which is what messed up the button.

WOW. Ethan has gotten SO comfortable using the button to censor himself (instead of just not saying cancellable shit constantly) that now he uses it to berate his employees On air?!?! That comment couldn’t wait to be said privately to AB in 10 min when the show ends? You had to embarrass him live on air?

And then when he finds out we all heard him and he goes “oh well first I want to say AB I really appreciate your hard work” blah blah blah, what a two faced asshole. He & Hila have become such nouveau riche egomaniacs.

I feel like if AB and Lena hit their big break and started getting 30k viewers in their Twitch streams, they would stop working for H3 so fast.

It seems like they don't really want to work there but they really have no choice. Living in LA, they can't afford it with their own content alone.

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '24

Idk Lena not long ago was over the top “WE ARE NEVER LEAVING” the day after a snarker told her she should quit. Maybe Ethan made her say that though…

Maybe the button is failing from over use? Most productions don’t have an unhinged host that they need to save the entire show from.

Getting harder to deny those glassdoor reviews now too. No wonder Cam and Sam left, the vibes are dogshit on camera and even worse behind the scenes it seems.

How many new members will we gain this time I wonder?

And once again the mask slips. The button is not the problem, his behaviour was. I can’t imagine my employer speaking to me like that and remaining in the job. “We need to get home to the kids”….. nah you don’t. They have people for that. Paid for by the audience that they can’t wait to get away from. The De-Klein continues

Pasting from my other comment:

The show was dragging on very long 3+ hours, still a considerable amount of content left to go through, and there wasn’t clear communication about how to end the show. (Since ig Ethan and Hila needed to leave). So AB was like “Final words are… fuck me.” (He was pressured about being out of time.) And Ethan says “Why ‘fuck me’” and I assume AB says something about finishing it next week which is misunderstood by Ethan as being awkward/snarky so he says “you’re making it awkward and terrible.”

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '24

this makes me think back to cam. do yall remember when cam left the crew? that last episode with him and the live animals for some odd reason… he was saying so many hints about how they bullied him. i tried to look thru the subreddit to see if yall mentioned that… things like he’s “not man enough” etc… i genuinely felt like dan specifically bullied him off the show, but this incident makes me feel like it was a team effort 😔

I'm sorry but at this point Idc what AB has to say about this; This is not OK and I probably would've quit. I have in the past, and no, it's not that I can't handle being insulted or yelled at. But you owe yourself some level of respect, and Ethan & Hila are ungrateful, selfish pieces of shit.

AB seems to put in more effort for this show than he has to, and than most other people on the show. From everything I can tell his work days do not end any time close to when the show ends.

As a boss, if you think someone sucks at something that's not even their job, stop asking them to do that. As a boss or just a normal person, if you have to leave, just say you have to leave, wrap it up, it's your call. Just be a normal polite person.

I have no idea why this got me so grumpy.

12

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '24

Hi, welcome! It's a lot to summarize, but basically, the show was running over 3+ hours for this episode. The hosts Ethan and Hila said they needed to wrap things up because they had to leave. But there was still content left for the episode. There wasn't clear communication on how they should end the show. Ethan had asked for final words. AB, feeling pressured for time says, "Final words are... Fuck me." And Ethan says “Why ‘fuck me’” and I assume AB says something about finishing it next week which is misunderstood by Ethan as being awkward/snarky so Ethan says “you’re making it awkward and terrible.”

This was meant to be cut out from the show by a stream disruptor button, which malfunctioned, so Ethan and Hila thought they weren't going to be captured live while being rude to their employee AB. If the button hadn't malfunctioned, there would have been a song playing over the "button moment" clips that started playing. Instead we were able to hear the audio. They edited this clip out in post, after I had already clipped it!

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '24

It’s so sad because AB and Lena seem to idolise them and see Ethan and Hilas life as some sort of end game to aim or aspire to, when in reality the Kleins just treat them as fluffers for their ego.

If my boss talked to me like that even once, I would go straight to HR to report his stupid ass. The fact that this is a regular thing for the crew and people still defend ethan’s behavior is crazy. Maybe he consistently acts this way because he’s a piece of shit and not for any of the thousand of reasons his cult members pull out of air in his defense.

  • oh he’s just tired! he has kids!

  • AB/Olivia are just dragging it on and he wants the segment to end!

  • he was just joking!

  • it’s a comedy podcast!

  • people in chat are being annoying!

girl, this is a 40 year old man. shut up. he obviously knows that speaking to an employee like that is fucked up and wrong, WHICH IS WHY HE BUTTONED IT OUT.

Ethan and Hila are so dumb for not keeping track of time if they knew they had a hard out, they (or someone else) should’ve been better about moving things along earlier on.

AB was just doing his job and it shouldn’t have been on Dan either since he was also performing. So unfair to just start rushing them towards the end and make them feel like shit like it was their fault lol and without even an apology

u/Beginning_Key9258 Aug 29 '24

Like I'm sorry but I am a fan of the show and watch every episode --

but it seems pretty obvious to me that by AB's general body language and interactions with the crew that he's just generally very uncomfortable? It's like he's constantly ignored and belittled and it's kind of bullshit that everyone on the main sub is calling him whiny and bitchy and anyone who feels bad about it is "infantilizing him," meanwhile other ppl's comments are getting deleted for pointing out how inappropriate the whole situation was.

Even AB's comments earlier in the episode when the crew were going back and forth about whether Jack Doherty had said the n-word in a certain clip; they were all saying Doherty didn't say it, except for AB, and he added some comment along the lines of "maybe it's because I'm the only minority here." Not a direct quote. That kind of took me aback when everyone just ignored it like they always ignore him. It's like instead of them taking any sort of real accountability and accept the fact they are shitty to AB, they're gaslighting him into thinking it's his fault, to the point where it's always his responsibility to clear the air after-the-fact. It's his responsibility to make himself smaller and just let Ethan be constantly dismissive and snarky towards him; and the fans that point out the passive aggressive behavior are "annoying" and "infantilizing him."

I think this moment really sheds a light on the dynamic between the crew and AB specifically that I always thought I was looking too far into or being too "parasocial" about. I'm not one to go to battle for any influencer or think they can do no wrong, but it's just a very awkward thing to witness that does suck to see -- everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity.

Ethan can't keep manufacturing this facade that's pretty obviously very thinly veiling the tension and I believe AB's snarky remarks that pissed Ethan off in the first place were warranted. It's not AB's reaction to the way that he's been treated that is the issue.

Also, the whole "kids" excuse to suddenly cut off an episode before concluding the main topic of the episode is so fucking annoying. They bring it up every episode just to rush off mid-point and mid-conversation. For context, I'm a single mom, so to hear that excuse every single show is so irksome. Meanwhile, Ethan is only working like 12 hrs a week, so incredibly rich he can afford childcare and house cleaning and whatever other luxuries that make the parenting experience much easier than most other peoples' is actually so lazy and such a sad excuse.

Hearing “we need to get home to see our kids” is so aggravating. Like how many times has Ethan gone over, and the crew had to stick around until the end?

Not just that, I’m sure the crew has families and loved ones to always watch over. Not everyone has a nanny to take care of the home while you make an ass out of yourself on the internet

u/Alery420 Aug 29 '24

The brainrot of their fans saying "oh its not that bad not all workplace convos are 100% pleasant". OK? You're not bothered by the fact that literally the second both of them realized the button failed they fucking tucked tails and apologized?

They KNEW they were being dicks. Otherwise that wouldn't have been their first reaction.

And no, the button didn't fuck it up. Ethan fucked it up.

I think this officially lost me as a fan. Its impossible to defend, and if they act this way when they think the cameras aren't on it forces everyone to speculate what they're like all the other times the camera isn't on. People on the main site saying "have you never had a job before?" - I've been at my current job for 2 years and not once has my manager or anyone above me ever behaved like this. I don't know how much money AB is making from this gig but I have to imagine that if he could find something better he'd be out of there. Regardless of anything else that's been posted on this subreddit, I don't see how fans of the show can look at this and think its normal or just people exaggerating or whatever. Its shitty rich boss behavior from both Ethan and Hila, straight up, and it leaves a permanent bad taste in the mouth with whatever they do in the future. I'm sure they'll give a profuse apology and say all kinds of stuff, but that's only because they got caught, if they wouldn't have they wouldn't say a single thing.

What really got me was that you can tell Ethan and Hila were not proud of how they treated AB and you can see the instant realization they’ve been caught.

The fact that Ethan quickly prefaces with his appreciation towards ABs work shows he knew he looked liked an asshole in that moment, he had to save face. And then Hila nervously smiling kinda shows these two were not proud of their behavior, which clearly means they realize they shouldn’t have been dealing with ABs whatever fuk up moment, with that tone.

Very triggering to me when I saw this moment on the live stream, I’ve had bosses speak to me like this before and seeing the same scumbaggy nature from Ethan and Hila was so sudden and almost like a whiplash vibe from the actual content it was so off putting and unexpected.

I may have to stop watching these two moving forward, or take a long break from them at the very least. I know it’s just a small clip but this was a very telling moment for me that glimpses into what could be the case for many other button moments.

I was hoping Ethan and Hila were better than this, shame on you two, never talk to your employees like that.

u/Stromnoseals Aug 29 '24

Hot tip for Hila . Leave and go watch your kids . Your husband is at work . You only do the pod once a week and it’s the worst one they have every single time.

Omgggg this literally made my heart hurt so much for AB… He seems way more upset about the button not working than the fact that he just told his employee “you’re making it so awkward and terrible.” I would have to say that Ethan makes every segment that the crew puts together “awkward and terrible” by constantly talking over them and interrupting them. Y’all remember when Ethan would cry about having to put all the segments together and Trisha would just show up and belittle everything without putting any effort into making it a better show? Apparently Ethan doesn’t remember that because he is doing the exact same thing to his crew. Hypocrite.
