6:50 the fact of the matter is that Caleb takes Nick seriously, which is why nick is so genuine to him, and they are able to riff on each other, even harshly at times, and still come out as two human beings not one guy and a crazy character. The H3 podcast situation was very much like that scene in the joker movie where Murray wanted to bring him on the show to make fun of him pretending to be nice to lure him there, and I’m very surprised at reading these comments everyone knows that Ethan is in the wrong. I have never seen such a cesspool of yes-man and insane people than the H3 Reddit. I used to love Ethan and his content but now he has become the number one thing he used to be against
sadly they ignore the comments from the Highlights channel exactly because apparently it's hard for them to act like adults, it blows my mind that every time they're in a controversy or drama they take zero accountability, everything is "just a joke"
@@lllucasm You know that’s ironic too considering that’s exactly how the people that they don’t like.. like Steven Crowder are in their content. I’ve seen clips where Crowder makes an insanely racist joke that could be funny in a way, but he says it with a straight face and not one of them laughs and then they pretend like it was just a joke, and that’s exactly how Ethan is now. He may not be racist, I’m not sure I haven’t watched since the first H3 set, but he makes worse “jokes” than old h3h3 with not one ounce of comedy in it and uses that to shrug off criticism.
just cause nick has a character and looks silly and is over weight doesnt give the right to treat him as a joke and not respect him everyone deserves respect and the fact you say "just look at him" nick is asking for respect and it wasnt given its not hard to be nice to people espcially nick since everyone makes fun of him
@@jgirl982 you notice how his persona of "nick avacodo" IS HIM HAVING RESPECT FOR HIMSELF AND MAKING MONEY RIGHT?? he's winning he made a character and what he does with it is his business . i don't think ethan is really a nice person if he's low enough to talk about someone else's weight. i don't think he ever did that to trisha paytas .
In the English language, the word nir is an ethnic slur used against black people, especially African Americans. Starting in the late 1990s,[1][better source needed] references to nier have been progressively replaced by the euphemism "the N-word", notably in cases where ner is mentioned but not directly used. The term nr is also used casually and fraternally among African Americans, most commonly in the form of nia. The word originated in the 18th century as an adaptation of the Spanish word negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective nier, which means "black".[2] Over time it took on a derogatory connotation[3] and became a racist insult by the 20th century. Accordingly, it began to disappear from general popular culture. Its inclusion in classic works of literature has sparked controversy and ongoing debate.
Yeah like i have a lot of mixed feelings on Nick but i dont blame a gay man doing sex work online to be comfortable with being treated like an oddity about it online. ESPECIALLY since thats most of what people were talking about regarding him at the time.
11:36 Ethan is such a hypocrite. Remember when Trish got him vip tickets to Disneyland, but didn’t like how he was being treated by Trish so he said tickets doesn’t mean she can “shit in his fucking open mouth then”. And now he’s criticizing Nick because he bought him first class tickets but didn’t tolerate how mean and nasty Ethan was to him. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Trish has grown and fixed her toxic habits and Ethan is the same mean, gaslighting, and toxic instigator that he’s always been. Goes to show who the real problem of that relationship was.
Did you know that Nik did the same exact thing to a youtuber named Stephanie Soo? You should watch her video on him. A while ago they collabed and he was acting weird as fuck and disrespecting her privacy to the point where she cried. He doesn't respect other people's boundaries so why should his be respected?
Why? He is fat AF though. Daniel Tosh brought him on his show years ago and butchered him. Nick being a beached whale is his schtick? His belly is literally hanging out to make fun of himself
I’m so happy to see the comments speak the truth… Ethan was pretty, nasty in the whole interaction… and frankly Nik… was totally in his right saying what he said on the d fire podcast…
It makes it funnier that he’s talking about this…… you’re literally proving his point 😭 you’re making so many videos and blowing this out of proportion to profit off him. He literally couldn’t care less about you which says a lot because it’s literally nikocado
The difference is that Caleb actually treats Nik as a person. Ethan clearly wasn't planning on doing that. Something about Ethan has always rubbed me the wrong way, and I've been continuously proven right.
Dawg I was a big fan when you were trying to get him on. You were really rude about him and you leaked private info. Your "fans" were shitting on him everytime you talked about him. I remember people were so nasty about him canceling saying how dare he when you paid for his tickets even though nic offered to pay for the plane ticket yall paid for (which you didnt mention until after he said it). You made so many videos about him and made him uncomfortable and didn't do anything to settle your fans going after him. Nic is a goof but he didn't deserve to be treated like that.
It’s so crazy how Ethan admitted in past podcast that Nik OFFERED money to reimburse Ethan for the tickets but Ethan declined the offer to be nice. And is now using those very same plane tickets AGAINST him. How petty, Ethan I used to have so much respect for you.
@@intensehummingofevil I know, right? I used to do the same with h3, then the hypocrisy and political hack stuff came in and I just couldn’t bare it anymore, he turned into the type of person he would’ve made fun of. Unironically nikocado Avocado is more genuine
@@CameronF305 i feel like nicks political views would never be a topic for The podcast He would sprinkle some opinions if a major thing happens but nothing more
I do not really consider what Ethan was joking about light ribbing like he straight just talked about nikos private parts and stuff for a very long time and I would also not feel comfortable going on there after that. Like I understand it is odd looking but if he's booked as a guest or you ever wanted him as a guest maybe dont go in on every aspect of his life and body. Lol
@@jgirl982 very true but at the same time Ethan is still strange to talk about dick and male ass for awhile. I wouldn't. But Ethan is just weird in general
@@jgirl982 it’s behind a paywall? if he’s so gross why did he pay to see it just to talk shit about it? it’s clearly bullying and fatshaming. not cool, if ethan did the same thing to a woman y’all would see the problem .
@@NONE.Dragon he was nothing like this before. He used to know he had no place chastising people about politics or pretending to know best about them. He was always a lefty, but he wasn't always am egotistical malicious shithead that acts like a high school girl.
@@jackchop1576 no he wAs into vegan shit and crossfit. ( I only knew him After he was already fat, but people told me and I Saw pictures ) I Never actually Saw him working out, so you could bé right ....
Countdown to Ethan digging into Oompa’s past to find something he can cancel him for since he’s becoming too popular. D-fire is the new Frenemies and Ethan is going to get jealous of their viewership and sponsors.
As much as I love H3H3, with peace and love I agree. It was a good decision to not go on this podcast. I think the dynamic of D fire is better suited for him.
Nik clearly doesn't take himself seriously, he gets the joke. But that doesn't mean he isn't allowed to set healthy boundaries and refuse toxic invites to make fun of him.. Your behavior wasn't cool, you mislead your audience and abused his good faith in a way that if any other creator did to you, you would be outraged. Also "zemblence" isn't a word. You've become pretentious and need new staff, you're way too insulated and it's influencing you to make horrific choices for your brand. Get better help.
@@jgirl982 He's a creator making content and putting on a persona, its one thing to make jokes about the actual content he puts out but for Ethan to harrass him personally, make half a dozen videos ridiculing him as a person, leaking personal/private dms out of context to intentionally make Nik look bad, outright lying about Nik (something that was proven and yet Ethan still refuses to take responsibility for it), and even weaponizing the H3 audience into harrassing Nik too, is all extremely abusive and unacceptable. It is not ok to treat anyone like that, creator or not. If anyone else did that to Ethan he would absolutely moral highground TF out of the situation, call them an obsessive stalker, rail about TOS and targeted harassment and clutching his pearls over leaked dms (something he has absolutely called out before because he really doesn't like it when people do it to him).. Just look he responds to Keemstar, yet he is treating Nik exactly how Keemstar treated him. As for the implication that because Nik "exploits himself" he therefore has it coming; Would you also say that about a creator like Amaranth? Does she deserve to be constantly sexually harassed, verbally abused, stalked, and dehumanized, just because she is an attractive woman who puts herself out on the internet? It's essentially the same thing. Just because Nik is disgusting and his content is vile doesn't mean he deserves to be treated like he's less than human, his online persona is not an open invitation to be abusive towards him. That's not how any of this works. Ethan went too far and just because Nik is unlikable doesn't make it ok.
@@andrealynell89 I was watching him for years and legit stopped watching when he changed to be the “woke” police. Now the podcast is mostly insufferable and has bad vibes.
I don’t think Ethan understands that nobody really likes him or respects him anymore. He genuinely thinks people are going to sit here for 23 mins and listen to his opinion. We aren’t. Hell I didn’t. I just wanted to read the comments. Clearly they did the same. Just go Ethan. Nobody wants you around.
Ethan is actually the biggest hypocrite. Ethan is like someone who desperately wants to be seen as cool so much that he'll literally attack anyone, even right after saying he wanted to squash the beef. Actual man child, way more so than nikocado lol
As usual Ethan reaching for anything he can to hate on and blowing minor things waaay out of proportion. Just leave the internet already this is the saddest shit I've ever seen. Dudes 40+ starting internet beef with anyone and everyone and I can only imagine as a fan it gets to be exhausting. This show is genuinely depressing
Nice Profile pic 👍🏻 . Also it’s just so sad and embarrassing to watch him pretend like he cares and then talk about Nicks ass the whole time like it’s going to get at him or something. As if he would be ashamed of some he put online on purpose. Ethan has turned into that one “friend” who keeps bringing up that one thing he thinks you are embarrassed of regardless if it actually affects you or not and then when you tell him to stop calls you a pussy and says “I’m just joking”
@@realdaemania6792 I agree somewhat but honestly this shit and all of the politics and the virtue signaling to the common man is not what a majority of the people want to see. I saw his instagram last night and saw him smiling and his awesome cosplays he does every year for Halloween and it got me remembering that he’s a funny respectable guy. He’s genuinely hilarious when he does things like the Oliver tree podcasts and other stuff when he’s actually being funny. He’s just so misguided, he thinks just because the audience puts up with the shit he’s been doing that they want to hear it and he just wants to talk about politics and shit like he is some noteworthy thinker when he’s not, what happened to just having fun with interesting guests? You are not some Deep sociopolitical philosophical thinker, you are Ethan Klein. You’re funny, not interesting. You don’t have to be interesting to catch the heart of the listeners we already know you we know you’re interesting in your own way, it’s like they say, don’t be different be better, you don’t have to change everything and you don’t have to be old H3 you just have to do it for the viewers, not what you think they want or what you think is popular cause I’ll tell you everyone is just so sick of hearing about politics nowadays.
Omg Ethan is so jealous of their podcast which is now almost at a million subs within a week! Also it’s sad you keep mentioning Trisha and interrupt her peace but that’s what happens when you have flatlining relevancy ✌🏼
its not the same , ethan you were talking about a private area while he maybe open in every other facet he still seems like he wants to have relationships so you cant blame him for drawing the line somewhere
18:25 you can tell this man ethan is REACHING, my god this is insane how quiet and uninterested the others look/feel when hes talking about. Nik gave a genuine response on d-fire granted he may have over exaggerated a few things but never said anything harsh towards ethan but all ethan can do is sit there and make jokes about his OF, just imagine if he actually showed up the insults would have been flying
Nik is doing a character. Caleb gets that and can make jokes in good spirit, why does ethan have to be like "hur dur fat man in little shirt what disgusting piggy piece of crap" and then not understand why nik doesn't want to work with him. i think nik didn't want to come on because he knew ethan would be mean spirited
I hate to say it but nikocado and oompaville together are greaaaat! I Love you guys but I understand why nik chose the path without you! Peace and Love
oompa doesn't use his channel to shit on everyone he knows for content, it's a healthier way of being a RU-vidr Ethan just keeps burning down bridges over the dumbest reasons, the podcast has become so boring I unsubbed
I feel bad for Ethans employees, they are just “YES” man except for the girl who tried her best to have Ethan stop talking about nicks private area…. Such a weirdo
so glad he didnt come on, that was the one episode i was going to skip. why enable him? weight aside, hes rude and eccentric in an annoying way. run far away Ethan its not worth it
@@randallrohr623 the point of the highlights is to advertise for the original and drive traffic. It's not a big deal really, and how can u blame them 🤷♀️
Me: clicks on video to see if maybe Ethan has become more respectful since I unsubscribed. Ethan: you know, an avocado seed does look like...... Me: gotta go 🏃♀️
If you are referring to these comments, they are not foot soldiers. This highlights channel is mostly subbed by people who hate him. Quite silly really and imo a huge self own to all you idiots commenting here. Like, why are you here if you dont like h3? I cant imagine subbing to a channel just to rant how they have "fallen off" or whatever.
Honestly h3 is so annoying, nick didn’t say anything he made a joke about it, he just doesn’t want to go on that was it but you’re dragging this out as if he was starting drama
Do you listen? Nik’s hotel room and first class plane tix (accommodations they did not have to do) were purchased for him by H3 and he didn’t pay them back after cancelling. He took advantage of being talked about, then expensive flights and an expensive hotel in LA just to not show up.
@@laken118 I mean the accommodations they did have to do, he’s got a lot of health problems so to not put him in first class would just be horrible, that’s all he asked for, sure it was rude to not pay them back but Ethan can afford it he’s not struggling, he just doesn’t like Ethan so he changed his mind
@@mrsir9158 They could’ve put him in business class (a step down from 1st) which accommodates larger folks and lots of leg room, minus the free food. He got DELTA FIRST CLASS. For FREE
They are just trying to distinguish the highlights, especially because a lot of their traffic on this channel comes from people who arent subscribed. Just watch the original lol
because the highlights are basically just an advertisement for the actual channel. Many people only watch the highlights and aren't subscribed, so they are just distinguishing the highlights better as a way to draw attention for people to watch the original
Just watched the new d fire podcast episode and Nick addressed this.... Nick is right about Ethan y'all. Ethan chooses circus freaks and people he sees as beneath him and uses them and throws them away by finding a reason to dispose of them as soon as it's not fun for him anymore.
Tbh Ethan just wanted someone to make fun of in his podcast to make people forget how unlikable and boring he is. Now that trisha quit hes trying to find someone else. LOL.
ethan scared cause d fire was way more funny and entertaining then h3 podcast ever was, i was a fan of h3 for so long, i gave his podcast a chance for so long but jesus dude its just boring
How can Ethan take his success for granted so much he still hasn't wrapped his head around how every other personality that gets retention by toeing the line of too far falls off because you run out of controversy steam if that's your shtick? Those who do not learn from history truly are doomed to repeat it. Dude has employees literally telling him he's not endearing himself to having a long career by sticking to his guns and he won't take the hint.
I don’t even understand who Ethan’s audience is anymore. How is he still breaking 1 million views a podcast? Logan Paul literally has more substance in his podcast. I remember when I thought he was a clown but now look at H3.
Cuz we all like to come see him embarrass himself even his co-host look uncomfortable and know he's going way to far. Still making fun of nicks appearance when hes a ugly fck himself
he probably started his weight loss journey 2 years ago, but didn't start releasing the pre recorded videos until later. There are several videos where he talks about losing weight around this time, but nobody actually thought he was serious
olivia is usually the voice of reason, or AB, it’s usually olivia though. once the h0m0phobic stuff with the fan that called in after the james charles diaper situation, i lost all faith in dan honestly
Ethan is just upset he couldn't use Nick like he did everyone else. Ethan has a bad toxic cycle of finding people and using them for clout and videos and throwing them away. Shoenice, bowblax, Jimmy, Trisha and white claw Gabe. Wonder what reason he'll find to get over white claw Gabe.
Ethan is 100% a weasel, this isn't the first time he stirred things up for content. He does something shitty and then plays victim all the time. How do people still support him?
Is Ethan not fat or something??? It seems like he found someone bigger than him and chose to make fun of his body cause he finally found someone fatter.
Who the hell are all those extra people? And why does Ethan act so different? H3H3 used to be my number 1 channel and the podcast at the beginning was pretty good but I haven't seen it in years. Now it kind of feels like a hollow shell of itself.
@@prettyme4387 I liked how personal it was when it was just Ethan and Hila. It was just a couple people having nice conversations. Now there's a lot of people jumping in and it's a bigger studio so it doesn't feel as personal.
