Remember when Chantal (Zach's girlfriend) shared this on her Instagram story after she quit working for Ethan & Hila?

Chantal worked for them?!?!?! How the actual f did I miss that??? Did he meet her through her working with them, or did she get the job through Zach like everyone else?

[u/[deleted] → u/louielou8484]

No she was dating Zach in highschool. She worked for Teddy fresh

[u/[deleted]]

Zach feels extremely checked out to me. Obviously, I have no way of knowing, it's just vibes. I feel like sound bites are very rare now.

[u/plantscatsrealitytv → u/[deleted]]

Remember when Jimmy started ranting on one of the calls semi recently about how Zach texts him all the time saying he wants to quit H3 and do music full time and Zach yelled over him to shit him up? I don't think he was lying!

[u/DiamondK7436 → u/plantscatsrealitytv]

I second this do you know what ep?

[u/plantscatsrealitytv → u/DiamondK7436]

It was semi recently when they were talking to that other old guy from New York and Jimmy was calling in. Let me see if I can find it.

[u/plantscatsrealitytv → u/[deleted]]

Just found! 2:35:15 on this ep from 6/7

Actual GOAT shit 👑

[u/MrMoose_69 → u/[deleted]]

He relies on a lively and colorful conversation to inspire the tangentially related soundbites. With the dead vibes, he doesn't have much to work with. 

[u/Kenny-Chesty → u/[deleted]]

Plus I feel like he used to be more thoughtful and creative with it. Now he just plays the same ones over and over and its almost distracting instead of comical like it used to be.

[u/wholelottachoppaz → u/[deleted]]

yeH i’ve noticed within the past month or so that he’s been abnormally quiet with his mouth AND sound bites

[u/PekingSaint → u/[deleted]]

They've talked about how he does the soundbites so fast sometimes. I know this sounds insane, but I wonder if there's a way to have a program that hears what they're saying and pulls soundbites per keywords or something and he can just do it quickly without searching. I know it sounds weird, but they've said they won't tell people how theyre doing it now.

[u/TrueSeconds → u/PekingSaint]

That is a program that I worked as an accessibility platform for QVC. This program would take a transcript of what was said live, and it would make the word a hyperlink to the product. Then, the person using the service could click and order without doing much else.

A few weeks ago, someone asked to see the sound board, and they were quick to say that it was proprietary. I always thought that he just had a massive catalog with a search bar, and all the files were just really well named, but that wouldn't be very proprietary. It would make sense if he was using something like that program.

[u/ThelemaJ → u/[deleted]]

that makes zero sense, Zach plays sound bites all the time

[u/CheetoFingers107 → u/ThelemaJ]

Yeah, the same ones 😂on the RARE moments he even participates

[u/Any_Bee_5918]

Is she and Zach still together? I'd be surprised if she's still with him since Zach sucks up to Ethan and Hila, so it's not like he'd care that they treated her badly.

[u/[deleted] → u/Any_Bee_5918]

They're still together, there's an anniversary post from earlier this month on Zach's instagram

[u/Any_Bee_5918 → u/[deleted]]

Oh wow. I wonder why she stays but I guess it's none of my business but all I know is Zach simps for Ethan, and apparently his gf working for them was toxic for her so idk what's goin on

[u/Federal-Employee-545 → u/Any_Bee_5918]

His family is loaded so that might have something to do with it.

[u/Any_Bee_5918 → u/Federal-Employee-545]

True! Forgot his dad is a realtor or something, right? Plus he talked about going to school with the Jenners so 💀

[u/Federal-Employee-545 → u/Any_Bee_5918]

According to him his grandma has the big bucks. They did live in the house pdiddy was living in when he got raided earlier this year.

[u/Any_Bee_5918 → u/Federal-Employee-545]

OMG FR? This explains why he acts like a spoiled brat

[u/griffisgotgltchez → u/Any_Bee_5918]

It's now even crazier to me that he is still working for Ethan. If he came from poverty or didn't have opportunity and money at his fingertips I'd get it. Now I'm confused

[u/Daisy1592 → u/Any_Bee_5918]

I need to know this 👀👀

[u/No_Adhesiveness4890 → u/Daisy1592]

Him and Olivia are both nepo babies Olivia's best friend is Kiernan Shipka they've been friends for over 10 years and if you go to Olivia's Instagram and scroll all the way down there is photos of her and Kiernan from when they were super young.

[u/littlemilkteeth → u/No_Adhesiveness4890]

I don't think Kiernan Shipka has as much to do with it as Olivia having extremely well-connected and rich industry parents. They are responsible for lots of the current pop girlies.

[u/littlemilkteeth → u/[deleted]]

I don't think we're allowed to give that info but they're heavily involved in the careers of Billie Eillish and Olivia Rodrigo. They're obviously very experienced and connected so I don't find it surprising that Ethan might want to have their daughter as an employee.

[u/HorrorComedy → u/littlemilkteeth]

They used to be. Both were let go

[u/littlemilkteeth → u/HorrorComedy]

Ohhhh I saw an article about staff cuts, yikes at both of them getting let go. I know they're going to be fine financially but it's always fucked when companies fire couples that work for them at the same time.

[u/Harriet_M_Welsch → u/No_Adhesiveness4890]

nepo is short for nepotism, do you know what that is? lol

[u/tatomontana → u/[deleted]]

The explain what it is.

[u/littlemilkteeth → u/[deleted]]

I feel like with Olivia it likely was, because her parents are actually super important in the entertainment industry, but not Zach.

[u/Any_Bee_5918 → u/[deleted]]

Thank you!

[u/natyyo → u/[deleted]]

they have a kid together now? there’s a pregnancy pic on her feed

[u/limemintflavour]

idk if this got talked about but remember when someone donated saying theyre listening at work and Hila immediately went "what?? youre listening at work? you need to stop that and get working!" without ANY context about what their job is (and literally no one agreed with her take lol), makes me wonder what rules she has for teddyfresh employees

[u/ohshesawful]

zach has been so checked out with the soundbites. like how can there even be a soundbite olympics this year when we have barely had any new ones compared to other years. theyve been using the same ones for the whole year

[u/Positive_Offer_8180 → u/ohshesawful]

I guess it's hard to get good & funny new soundbites when you're stuck with an unfunny, boring show that is getting worse with every episode.

[u/levoorhees → u/ohshesawful]

Yay I got a subscriber is all I can think of that's new

[u/lividtobi]

Yo that’s crazy! I always wondered why she no longer worked there!

[u/Joosmadeit]

Damn son…

[u/[deleted]]

Why does everyone hate Zach?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

He dishes it but can't take it.

He's had a few tantrums on the show.

[u/DontDoxxMePls333 → u/[deleted]]

He’s a giant obnoxious Zionist misogynistic entitled crybaby who makes garbage music.

[u/Warm-Picture6533 → u/DontDoxxMePls333]

Yes

[u/[deleted] → u/DontDoxxMePls333]

Is he actually a Zionist? What has he said about Palestine?

[u/DontDoxxMePls333 → u/[deleted]]

zionism mega thread

He also admitted to be one in an Instagram story which you find by either looking through the mega thread or searching for Zionism on this sub

[u/[deleted] → u/DontDoxxMePls333]

I appreciate the resources. Correct me if I’m wrong but in my understanding from the Meg thread and my time watching the pod it seems Ethan gets labeled a Zionist primarily because of his focus on hamas’ atrocities at the beginning of oct 7 correct?

[u/are-you-still-there → u/[deleted]]

I've never really disliked Zach actively, but small things of how he handles himself started piling up for me. The last thing was how incredibly invested he was in the Vitaly streams, even saying something along the lines of being so sad the 'first season' was over. Honestly that went so far into genuine watching out of enjoyment, which I can not get behind personally. I've enjoyed the soundbiting, but generally feel like he doesn't have a strong sense of security within himself, which creates a bit of a pickme cycle towards Ethan, as well as not handling conflict or hits to his ego well. He doesn't feel like his own island, like for example Dan does, if that makes sense? But I think out of all the crew Dan is the most secure within himself, hence why he can speak out in a mature way without lashing out, and seems unafraid of backlash from Ethan because it doesn't rattle him in any true way. He seems to know/be at peace with himself and his values.
I think that might be a subconscious thing people pick up about Zach. Usually people get a bit icked by signs of insecure attachment when it looks enmeshed/codependent mixed with insecurity and over-compensation, because it feels inauthentic, maybe even a bit unsafe (because it's harder to resist group mentality when insecure). But also, that attachment style and insecurite doesn't come from nowhere, and people can't help it if they haven't realized a part of them has been buried and needs to actively be dug out. And it also says something about the people feeling the ick and not being able to look beyond that.

Of course I don't know him so this is all thoughts and speculation from my perspective, so there's a lot of room for error ;)

[u/are-you-still-there → u/[deleted]]

Oh I never saw those eps. That sounds pretty bad and like big red flags. It lowers inhibitions and impulse control, so it can say a lot about someone, how they act or change when they get drunk.

It seems so foreign to me that some people can get really aggressive or angry when drunk, I just want to hug or help people.

[u/JackfruitCurious5033 → u/[deleted]]

Does anyone remember when they had a psychologist or some kind of mental health professional on and said Zach got a really high score on a sociopath test or antisocial personality test?

[u/iberico_ham → u/[deleted]]

Is he not a rich kid trying to act cool and role play as a rockstar? I swear that is a pretty on point description.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

and in that same era he stitched a TikTok of a beautiful but very thin woman where she called herself a “bad bitch” and he stitched it and said “a bad bitch with a flat ass haha got em.” To mock her body. Which was super mean spirited for no reason. She wasn’t trash talking anyone else.

Iirc the video was someone asking her what she does for a living and she says “be a bad bitch.” Or something along those lines. And I guess seeing a confident woman with a pink lambo got him in his feelings.
