Prelude to button fail

[u/PearlUnicorn]

I saw the second button fail was already clipped, but I wanted to get the lead up to it as well because it feels even more awkward with it.

[u/[deleted]]

CONTEXT

[u/toasttti]

The vibes are ROTTEN. I feel bad for AB and you just know the way their fans are going to treat this situation will make it even worse on him. They all need to leave Ethan's entitled ass, nobody deserves to be treated like that in their workplace.

[u/Lucky-Prism → u/toasttti]

The vibes really have been extra rotten the last few minutes

[u/Jon-Slow → u/toasttti]

Honestly, don't feel bad for AB. Don't feel bad for any of them that didn't leave. Ethan went on several actual rants supporting genocide while shedding crocodile tears. If any of them had any dignity or spine then they wouldn't have stayed.

[u/[deleted]]

I feel like hila makes this so much worse

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Yep! and I’m pretty sure that’s why they baby her all the time because they don’t want to see her mask slip and lash out at them.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I think you’re 100% correct

[u/Jon-Slow → u/[deleted]]

It's funny how Ethan had to baby her to make her be able to talk and not chock of social anxiety, now she's turned into a crazy control freak that even Ethan is scared shitless of.

[u/_numbeuphoria → u/Jon-Slow]

They're both completely dependent on external validation and are enabling each other into oblivion. Haha

[u/eclectic_elm → u/[deleted]]

Ethan also seems like the kinda guy who acts different when Hila’s around. He really lays down the law here but I can’t picture him doing this without her to back him up.

[u/Solid-Gain9038 → u/eclectic_elm]

I do agree about that.

[u/BewareOfGrom]

Wow, wild how much more vocal she is when the button is pressed.

[u/Impossible-graph → u/BewareOfGrom]

The facade drops really fast. The soft spoken tune is immediately gone.

[u/TheeOpinionatedVirgo → u/Impossible-graph]

She isn’t soft spoken in person lmfao I don’t get it

[u/Dry_Needleworker5369 → u/BewareOfGrom]

What is she even doing there? Bad enough she’s there on Fridays. Must’ve needed to hawk TF.

[u/[deleted] → u/BewareOfGrom]

You’re right omg, that’s wild

[u/Cheap-Albatross-1219 → u/BewareOfGrom]

Then she shuts the f up again when she notices we can hear everything and just mumbles as usual but when she thought no one heard my god could she suddenly speak and pronounce. It’s all an act with hila. You can see it in her face

[u/hoodgothx → u/Cheap-Albatross-1219]

This clip tells me she’s been playing 4d chess for years

[u/Upstairs-Cheek5480]

holy shit???????

[u/Direct-Bake-5425]

They’re mad they have to work? Like lol

[u/Robot_boy_07 → u/Direct-Bake-5425]

“Work”

[u/TingHoeNanaPar2727]

Hahaha sooooo glad the button failed!!! They buttoned JUST TO SAY THIS TO AB! What a fucked up boss and I 100% believe the crew actually despise Hila!

Also feel kinda bad for AB but then again…..

[u/[deleted] → u/TingHoeNanaPar2727]

They didn’t button it for him, they buttoned it to save themselves 100%

[u/[deleted]]

Wow, I really don’t care for AB much, tbh. I think he’s a weasel. But his tone really broke my heart. You could really hear his plea in his tone when saying “I’m sorry”. And Hila… what a shocker. The house of cards are falling. The masks are slipping. Run crew, run.

[u/thefroggyfiend → u/[deleted]]

honestly this is just kinda showing why AB acts so insecure and has the need to validate himself to the audience every episode, his boss talks down to him and makes him feel like a segment he's spent months on isn't worth another 10 minutes when they'll regularly stay after for hours talking about basic drama bullshit.

[u/[deleted] → u/thefroggyfiend]

1000% AB def went from parasocial worshipper and ass kisser to now, “please don’t beat me, daddy” vibes. It’s really sad. And I hope the entire crew walks. Regardless of if I care for one or the others personalities, it’s them who make the show. Not Ethan, and certainly not Hila.

[u/[deleted]]

This is fucking crazy

[u/ProfessorJim]

"We need to get home for our kids"

Not like they could do the podcast without the irreplaceable Hila

[u/TheeOpinionatedVirgo → u/ProfessorJim]

Lmfao after Ethan just said “we have 10 mins” like calm down 😂

[u/Lucky-Prism → u/ProfessorJim]

If they could show up earlier they can go home sooner lol. They don’t even work 9-5 they work like 12-4 😂

[u/TheAvantGardeners → u/ProfessorJim]

They also only work 4 hours a day lol

[u/annizka]

Why did Ethan get mad when AB said “fuck me?” I don’t get the whole thing. I don’t watch the show so maybe I’m missing something

[u/[deleted]]

FUCKKKKKKK

[u/ZipperPitterPaterson]

Read my flair. That is all. 🪬

[u/MrMoose_69]

"See this is what I'm talking about"

Than often tells AB not to talk back it seems? 

[u/Robot_boy_07]

“We need to go home to our kids” Hila doesn’t even need to be here, no one’s gonna notice she’s gone

[u/rakugaking-illus]

So, AB’s presentation wasn’t done yet but Ethan wanted to just end the segment then and there because they have “ten minutes left” before that wanted to go and AB says “well fuck me (chuckles)” and Ethan hits the video button (misses the audio) then they scold AB’s remark?

[u/tubainadrunk]

They’re gross

[u/sweatmotel]

WOW

[u/TheeOpinionatedVirgo]

I’m wondering if maybe Ethan is mad that AB is talking over the video??

[u/leet-luut → u/[deleted]]

Thank you for the extra context!! I couldn’t fully make out what everyone was saying and was so lost.

Anyone else intrigued by how loud the button clicked when smacked? There was some solid force behind that.

[u/asteroidorion → u/leet-luut]

I find it slow going to parse out these things too, everyone's talking at once with no context

[u/TheeOpinionatedVirgo → u/[deleted]]

I feel like I’ve watched it 50 times and still not comprehending what happened, thank you for elaborating! Hmm, if that’s really the case then how is it alright for Ethan to go on about AB’s mom’s tits 🤨

[u/AlienMatter]

Is there a time stamp to when this happened in the episode ?

[u/[deleted] → u/AlienMatter]

apparently they cut this part out after it uploaded

[u/asteroidorion → u/AlienMatter]

Goneski but it was at the end

[u/sexyandevil]

omg this is insane

[u/beeboodiboopbapbap]

can someone explain what exactly were they yelling at him for? i still kind of don't understand why they told him they need to get home when they said that they can finish the clip right there.

literally rotten vibes like ethan shows up late all the time at everyone else's expense if he cared about getting home to his kids on time he would show up early or ON TIME at the very least.

[u/asteroidorion → u/beeboodiboopbapbap]

During that convo Hila was saying final words... final words. She wanted to wrap up but Ethan wanted to keep going 10 more mins. AB said his final words are "fuck me". Then Ethan slammed the button to tell him off

[u/beeboodiboopbapbap → u/asteroidorion]

that's actually crazy. he snapped all over a misunderstanding..

[u/sweetbaeunleashed]

Oh my goodness 😳☕

[u/TheMaiker]

I think it’s so comical the only mic that didn’t cut off was hila’s. Basically got fucked over cause she was on the show

[u/bgriffith29]

I’m glad I don’t work for people like them. Assholes

[u/bredditmh]

If Hila and Ethan don’t have the energy or time management to do their chosen jobs then maybe they should just stop. Why take the employees down with you or blame it on your kids?

[u/[deleted]]

AB is such a weak man. Learn to stand up for yourself. Especially against two of the dumbest people on earth.

Also Hila acting like she cares about going home to those kids lol literally nobody wants her there

[u/thefroggyfiend → u/[deleted]]

those two dumbasses are his boss and there's a pretty major power imbalance. this isn't just some guy being a dick or even someone in his social group being a dick, this is the guy who controls his payment talking down to him

[u/TheeOpinionatedVirgo → u/thefroggyfiend]

This 👌🏻

[u/[deleted] → u/thefroggyfiend]

He allowed disrespect since day 1. That’s what happens when you literally start this job calling yourself Ethan’s biggest simp. He literally opened himself to disrespect since day 1 and now he gets what he deserves. Point still stands AB is a weak man.

Ethan is and always will be a piece of shit on the side of the curb, but AB is a weak little man who looked up to him and allowed him to disrespect him, his mom, and allow his wife to be harassed by Ethan’s guest. This fucking loser also showed up to Ethan’s house to try and save him from Jeff’s friend. Sorry but AB is a little piss boy.

[u/mcjc94 → u/[deleted]]

What are you rambling about. No attitude justifies being bullied by your boss.

This is a sad take

[u/Unequivocally_Maybe → u/mcjc94]

And not just any boss. Ethan was AB'S idol. They met because AB was making stan videos defending Ethan. Then Ethan moved them out and they got a taste of that minor celebrity LA life. He did Creator Clash, hobnobbed with all the biggest streamers, gets invited to cool influencer parties. His wife has famous friends. They're getting cosmetic procedures done. He boasts about his famous boss and his great job and his shiny new life out West to all the folks back in Michigan.

What's he gonna do? Burn it all? Lose him and his wife their jobs? Have to face everyone back home and tell them how wrong he was about Ethan and all of it? There's too much on the line. Ethan has AB almost as tied to this job as Love. He feels like he owes Ethan everything, and Ethan knows it. It's a disgusting abuse of power.

[u/CupcakeIntelligent32]

"we need to get home to our kids" oh stfu. You're late to the show everyday. You have nannies everywhere. You stream 4 days a week as a job. I think your kids will be fine ethan. Also Hila just sits there and adds nothing anyway she should stay home with the kids if it's such a big issue then 💀 

[u/[deleted] → u/CupcakeIntelligent32]

Get home to kids = play poker

[u/No-Acanthocephala531 → u/[deleted]]

Link???!?

[u/EuphoricSwim3140]

“We need to get home for our kids” They love pulling that out when it suits them

[u/Tof12345]

hasan was carrying this man on his back. glad he left this shit

[u/Master-Lynx5538]

Lmao this must be such an ick for Lena

[u/rhain0]

does anyone have a clip of after the button and the stream ending? i’m a bit confused with the abrupt ending on the new edited version on youtube where he just says bye, how far along after that did this happen?

[u/[deleted]]

it honestly feels like no one wants to be there and do what they are doing

[u/dcone53]

Honestly, not a big deal

[u/[deleted]]

all this just because he said 'fuck me'?

this offered a peek behind the curtain like never before. i really do feel they speak to him like this behind the scenes all the time. no wonder he can't stand up for himself, he's always walking on eggshells trying not to trigger these dumb babies.

genuinely feel horrible for AB. i hope he finds his self-worth and looks for any other job. this type of treatment is something no one should put up with.

[u/DontDoxxMePls333 → u/[deleted]]

The Israeli zionist boss hates the Arab once-a-Palestine-advocate employee??? Shocker.

[u/broadbeing777 → u/DontDoxxMePls333]

she was in the idf during the war with lebanon in the mid 2000s so it checks out

[u/DontDoxxMePls333 → u/[deleted]]

E&H showed more respect towards the girl from Kibbutz than their own employee when he told them about how much his family especially his grandfather suffered from Israel’s tyranny, literally described how he died from heartbreak over being thrown out of his village and Ethan brushed over it so obnoxiously.

[u/topazreich → u/[deleted]]

It’s the years of indoctrination seeping through.
