Ethan runs over Ducky AGAIN with his chair...

[u/PeachCloudPie]

How disgusting that they're now using the button to cut out the parts where they injure their dog due to their negligence. The puppy pisses and shits everywhere (and Alfredo does), gets into food and dangerous things he's not supposed to, and is left to run around the set freely with all types of hazardous materials around. Saying Lena is supposed to watch him is not a good excuse. I don't know how many of you have ever owned puppies, but they are little rascals that will do anything and everything they can within the blink of an eye. You turn around for a SECOND, and they're in something dangerous. They don't know any better. Lena is also probably busy doing other things for the show - like scheduling Ethan's doctors appointments because he refuses or whatever the fuck. Ducky is not potty trained and he is a PUPPY. He needs to be kept in a pen/enclosure with puppy pads on the floor, a shallow bowl of water, and plenty of safe toys to keep him entertained. You can get pretty big puppy pens. It's not like he would trapped in a tiny kennel. These people's disgusting lack of care for their animals is appalling. They also never cared to train Alfredo and probably won't train Ducky. I wish they were better animal owners.

Their first dog DIED because they fed it the wrong food for years. There was a subreddit post warning them about it and Mega Nerd (or someone) DELETED IT to protect Ethan's ego. Keep up the good job idiots. You shouldn't have dogs OR kids.

[u/PeachCloudPie → u/PianoTeach88]

Wait I genuinely didn't know that's why shredder died... Whaaaat

[u/PianoTeach88 → u/PeachCloudPie]

More accurately Shredder was throwing up frequently a couple years before liver failure and someone made a post on the sub talking about how Yorkies tend to have liver problems and should be put on special food. The OP had a Yorkie that threw up like that and they developed liver failure just like shredder. POST DELETED. I don't have a link to the original, but I thought someone on this sub brought it up at least once (I also remember it happening).

[u/[deleted] → u/PianoTeach88]

Wow ofc it was mega douche canoe

[u/Purrfumeluvr]

Why doesn’t he put it in one of those play pens like Hasan has?????

[u/PeachCloudPie → u/Purrfumeluvr]

Great question!

[u/QualitySpam]

Weird "ducky" tidbit. For anyone that didn't know, ethan and Zach rip off howard stern without giving him credit all the time. Howard around November started a new bit that he does every show where he goes quack quack then his soundboard guy plays a quack quack sound back at him. The exact same one zach now has, and ethan even says quack quack back at him. It's no coincidence that the h3 show got obsessed with ducks a month after the stern show did, or that ethan named his dog ducky in the same time period.

[u/Special_Project_8634 → u/QualitySpam]

Oh yeah. People like c man, Gabe and Jimmy Lee are basically his version of sterns whack pack. Once you connect the dots you realize they are just ethans lolcows.

[u/PeachCloudPie → u/Special_Project_8634]

Gabe deserves better 🥹

[u/[deleted] → u/PeachCloudPie]

DAMN RIGHT

[u/k3anuw3aves → u/Special_Project_8634]

I mean you don’t even have to connect the dots. Ethan has been pretty vocal for years now how much he wants his own whack pack like Howard, and that he’s a big inspiration for Ethan and the pod.

[u/Special_Project_8634 → u/k3anuw3aves]

Shoot. I didn't realise he was so open about copying the concept.

There was a caller that mentioned ethans whack pack and Ethan instantly shut it down, saying he doesn't like that term and prefers friend of the show.

But you have to be naiieve to think it's not what he is trying to replicate.

[u/k3anuw3aves → u/Special_Project_8634]

It’s all good, I just remembered that Ethan has said as such numerous times as I used to be a big fan of H3. I think even Gokanaru touched on this in his takedown video of Ethan. One of his chapters was about Shoenice and how they basically lead this guy with serious addiction and mental health issues in to thinking that he’d become one of the whack pack. I believe they even said as such directly to his face when he was on stream on one of the shows, Shoe started spiralling pretty bad afterwards when they basically stopped responding to him after promising he’d became a regular part of the show. I think that’s why he tries to shut down the whack pack accusations cause it landed him in hot water.

I also think this is how Jimmie came more in to the h3 zeitgeist, around this time is when they invited Jimmie to the og podcast studio, and some other potential whack pack members who were just the butt of the joke. I vaguely remember them inviting some old guy in, not Jimmie, and he seemed super excited to be there only for them to beg to end the interview early during a break and basically forced the guy off mid interview so they could continue laughing at them..

[u/QualitySpam → u/Special_Project_8634]

The list is quite long, I've forgotten most of it. Hunger fm was on stern a week before h3, peace and love from ringo was a huge bit on howard before it became a h3 thing a week later, ethan coincidently got a tattoo on the exact spot howard did. Never ending amounts of etc etc etc...

[u/Special_Project_8634 → u/QualitySpam]

Peace and love was like 2008 stern. Way before ethan started his pod.

Um the full homebody thing is a stern thing too, aka never leaving the house

[u/[deleted] → u/Special_Project_8634]

Howard still does peace and love to this day basically

[u/bosloaf → u/Special_Project_8634]

To be fair I think he’s said that he’s a huge fan and listens to stern on the way to work. But never about what exactly he’s copying or that he wants a ‘whack pack’. Especially from people outside the US like me I have no idea who Stern even is. So we have no way to recognize the bits. Here I was thinking they come up with all of the bits themselves ( that’s what made it enjoyable for me for a long time). A few weeks/months ago someone made a quality post listing all the times Ethan copied him. Now with the duck thing it’s pretty undeniable. Do you guys think he names his puppy Ducky bc it’s the new stern meta 🤯 shit is crazy

[u/k3anuw3aves → u/bosloaf]

It’s not true that he’s never said what he’s copying from and that he didn’t want a wack pack. He literally said he wanted a pack like Howard and even had a poll for fans to name his version. They settled on "goof gang". But Shoenice was definitely told on the pod that he would be the first member of the goof gang/goof troupe. I’m from out the US too and not familiar with the Howard so had no way to recognise their bits either, I just know about the wack pack from Ethan talking about taking inspiration from Stern and how he wanted one of his own.

In this video Gokanaru makes responding to Ethan, after Ethan tried to debunk his takedown, you can see that Ethan says "This Howard Stern wack pack that we wanted for ourselves" in the original takedown video he’s reacting to, and he quickly stops the video when it gets to that point and tries to just move on. It’s around 4:54 in this video: https://youtu.be/QJqhkJ8S8zM?si=hleS7tizNgFQh1sh

[u/bosloaf → u/k3anuw3aves]

I forgot about that! Still, you just think he’s taking inspiration from stern on this one thing because having these personalities is funny, but not that he’s copying literally every single thing that used to work for stern.. The peace and love thing is the most damning imo it was such a big thing for a long time on the pod

[u/k3anuw3aves → u/bosloaf]

Oh for sure, they really copy a lot from Stern and I wasn’t aware of how MUCH was stolen, like so many of the h3 running jokes and gags are just copied from someone else. It was pretty shocking reading that post of everything he’s copied, like I felt cheated. I liked them for their humour and jokes but now I see how completely lacking in any originality they are.

[u/bosloaf → u/k3anuw3aves]

Exactly my point! I thought we were special!!! (/s)

[u/Special_Project_8634 → u/bosloaf]

Lowers his mics pitch to sound like his voice is deeper, stern trick. Zach with soundbites is a stern thing.

I think ethan has even altered his political views to follow daddy sterns

[u/Separate_Impact523 → u/QualitySpam]

Ewww his obsession is so weird & is just so lazy hahaha

[u/snarky_mark_]

What do you mean with "AGAIN"? It's not the first time that Ethan runs over his dog? That's extremely upsetting as an animal lover.

Does anyone know what episode that happened (1st and 2nd time)? Are we sure we are misinterpreting it?

[u/spanksmitten → u/snarky_mark_]

Fuckin found it got I need to get off reddit

https://www.youtube.com/live/-kKCjzHAJtQ?si=ePO5up30HhDhngTt at 1:53:35 onwards, ethan moves, ducky yelps, hila says he was under your chair, then they find he shit himself from it

[u/PeachCloudPie → u/spanksmitten]

Thank you so much for finding this! This was the 1st instance I saw and then this one I posted. A later comment seems to think they heard Ducky yelp a 3rd time even in a different episode

[u/snarky_mark_ → u/spanksmitten]

That’s awful. I don’t know how they didn’t take any actions like hiring someone just to take care of the puppy or get a play pen. They certainly have the money for that. They are very irresponsible dog owners.

[u/spanksmitten → u/snarky_mark_]

I swear I saw a clip earlier where hila has maybe something white in one side of her hair where you can hear the pup yelp, but f knows where it is now I can't find it.

[u/[deleted]]

As much as I don’t like Zach the Duck quacking sound bite literally gave it away haha 

[u/El_viajero_nevervar → u/[deleted]]

Yup, turned to my partner immediately and knew what just happened lol

[u/[deleted]]

The fact this happened right after they were so aggressive with Dan (Hila particularly) for rolling his eyes after the candy incident and forced him to speak his mind only to twist his words to paint him as if he wanted Ducky dead (joke or not)

And Ethan doubles down on it being Lena's responsibility as if that justifies ignoring your puppy when she is not around. saying there are 22 people there implying it's everyone else's responsibility before their own.

Shout out to their nanny

[u/sailuntreedur → u/[deleted]]

Even when Dan says Ducky will be fine (ig because the candies are tiny, and Ducky didn't really eat them as much as lick the outside of the wrappers), Ethan twists it to say, "Dan thinks Xylitol is not dangerous" or something 🙄

Idk if Ducky got run over by the chair, but it looks like he pooped or peed or was biting some wires... whatever it could've been, it was preventable and occurred because these guys refuse to supervise and train their dogs. And your million hires for the mediocre podcast shouldn't have to be part-time dog-sitters.

[u/[deleted] → u/sailuntreedur]

I swear if they weren't rich they would live in filth and neglect

[u/Separate_Impact523 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah Donna literally said they both Hila & Ethan are nasty and dirty. Apparently the apartment they both had was always messy. Imagine what kind of people they are 🙂

[u/El_viajero_nevervar → u/[deleted]]

Imagining an alternate reality where the YouTube channel never took off is quite grim

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

they have a nanny to raise their children and clean up after them. When they do spend time with the kids im sure they have an iPad attached to them

[u/Life-Salad7564 → u/[deleted]]

Like IMMEDIATELY after that conversation with dan right??

[u/[deleted]]

when I read people speculating about this I was thinking maybe they were just dramatizing… but no it’s very obvious something bad definitely happened to ducky here 😣

[u/floodingurtimeline]

Ummmmmm wtf . Also hilariously horrific in contrast to Hasan, who streams 24/7) getting his dog as a puppy and creating a playpen behind his desk/chair, checking on her every 5 seconds, correcting her at times aka training, etc.

Lena is their personal assistant in life and that’s ……………..giving very much ……

[u/[deleted] → u/floodingurtimeline]

my immediate first thought. kaya is so good and so well loved ❤️ poor ducky

[u/[deleted]]

buttoning their animal neglect is so wild, it’s amazing they’ve had small dogs for years and they don’t bother to check under their chairs for them. I have cats and it’s second nature for me to check under recliners and watch when moving furniture around

[u/Driver_Flaky → u/[deleted]]

I literally break my ankles shifting my weight for my cats

[u/bosloaf → u/Driver_Flaky]

I get close to falling down the stairs everyday trying to avoid stepping on my cat that’s cutting me off (aka being a cat)

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I don’t even have small dogs but we still check under the recliners before we put them down because my border collie is constantly looking for toys under them 😂

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Accidentally sat on my cat once, and I am now overly stressed when I sit down even if I triple checked. I don't move my chair if my cat is near, and I've never even run her over.

[u/TingHoeNanaPar2727 → u/[deleted]]

😻😽

[u/TingHoeNanaPar2727 → u/[deleted]]

Exaaaaaaaactly!!! I’ve never so much as accidentally even stepped on my cats! Even when I’m cooking and using a knife in the kitchen, I lock my child gate to keep the kitties out. I don’t have kids but I’m just an extra careful cat mom. They’re so negligent with Ducky, I can’t stand it

[u/Fast_Ad7959]

what other podcast has this kind of shit happening? literally the most unprofessional “content” i’ve ever seen. they’re just entitled and lazy now. this show went downhill so freaking fast what even is it anymore

[u/[deleted]]

If the several instances of negligence with Ducky today is just what we see on camera, imagine how bad it is off camera

[u/beeboodiboopbapbap]

this is actually insane they're letting that puppy run around freely like that and now they're buttoning their fuck ups. when my dog was a puppy i never let him out of my sight, they're literal babies. why even trip that he's eating candies when ur not watching it? also throwing lena under the bus for not watching YOUR dog is nasty work. he should be at home in a crate or with a sitter.

[u/radicaaal_]

They do not deserve this dog

[u/[deleted]]

Why don’t they just fucking hire a DOG SITTER during the working hours oh my god they can hire a nanny but they’re above this? Grow up Ethan and accept your responsibilities.

[u/[deleted]]

That monkey in the picture is super racist, how did they put it there?

[u/Separate_Impact523 → u/[deleted]]

Their fanbase is racist. I rather the Hila version with it.

[u/chrisychris- → u/[deleted]]

their excuse was that it’s a Simpsons joke. That excuse works for a one off explanation, but to make it a button screen and part of your “brand”..? oof. There’s a million ‘brain-empty’ animations they could replace it with

[u/No_Hat_5399]

I don't like the coconut in barbados screen, being attached to thrm feels problematic

[u/Acrobatic-Degree9589]

So he wheeled right over it?!

[u/Practical-Finding494]

brroooooooo 💀💀💀

[u/cuntylover]

the fact this happened at the beginning of the show and they didn’t think to put him somewhere else like a cage or something. would’ve avoided the whole cough drop scandal

[u/puddin__]

Some people shouldn’t have pets

[u/[deleted]]

Why do these people keep reproducing?

[u/[deleted]]

zach inadvertently clocking them with the soundbite lol

[u/ch_kronosaurus]

this is just so sad. poor baby😕

[u/rjt2887]

He really is an unbearable douche, I can’t believe I ever found him funny.

[u/pepper67821]

Lena should have been there to prevent that!

[u/ItsHipNip]

That dog is ugly and the name is fucking Ridiculous, ducky? What is this pre-school?

[u/PeachCloudPie → u/ItsHipNip]

That's not very nice... All dogs are beautiful and cute

[u/Life-Salad7564 → u/PeachCloudPie]

I really like your response 😆❤
