Lost Episodes

Since starting the H3 podcast in December of 2016 a few episodes have been lost, erased or are put behind lock and key. One the shows first episodes, the Lost Bert Kreischer episode, was destroyed due to them having no idea how things worked.

## The Lost Bert Episode (H3 Podcast #1)

As discussed in H3 Podcast #80 with Bert Kreischer, Bert and Ethan discussed an earlier episode where they got drunk with Bert but either accidentally erased the episode or never pushed record. Either way it is now the *infamous lost episode*. Bert did post an Instagram story on December 26, 2016, showing him in the studio and it appears they are about to start a podcast.

## Jordan Peterson interviews

Jordan Peterson did two interviews (H3 Podcast #37 and #48) with Ethan on the H3 Podcast. After Peterson drifted further and further to the right Ethan made the decision to erase the episodes.

"Years ago I interviewed Jordan Peterson before I was very familiar with his politics - he was an interesting guest who I enjoyed sitting with. But, especially now, I can see he's a dangerous gateway to alt-right, transphobia, and covid misinfo. I removed both interviews today. "
## The Lost Triller Episode

Main article: Triller Lawsuits

On the, Off The Rails #63, episode the Crew talked about how at the beginning of the Triller lawsuits Ethan was playing very safe and was still not trying to get sued. They taped an Off The Rails episode and sent it to their lawyer who said they couldn't release it. Dan said that once the gloves came off against Ryan Kavanaugh (Kav Kav) they have since said and done way worse things against Triller and Kav Kav.

## Frenemies #40

Frenemies lasted for 39 episodes before underlying issues between Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas boiled over in an argument on Frenemies #39, and destroyed the relationship. There had been three big blowouts before the Frenemies #39 episode final fight but things were said that destroyed the whole show. They filmed a Frenemies #40 but it never aired. Both Trisha and Ethan have different versions of what happened during the taping. Trisha claimed that Ethan apologized for everything while Ethan claims that it quickly devolved into more fighting and arguing, ultimately not getting anywhere. Ethan further claimed that Trisha recorded the episode without permission.

## H3 After Dark #46

When Keemstar (then 39 years old) announced that he was dating a 20 year old Ethan called out the age gap. During the August 6, 2021, H3 After Dark #46 episode, the crew did a skit. Keemstar complained and the episode was pulled as well as a clip of the incident that was uploaded on H3 highlights channel. The H3 Podcast also received a strike.

H3 responded in a Tweet:

>
> We’re very sad to announce we can’t post on YouTube for 7 days, which means no Off The Rails, After Dark, or Families in the coming week 😔 were very sorry we won’t be there for you guys but we’ll see you in a week

## H3TV #54

Main article: Shapiro Strike
While filming the October 17, 2022, episode of H3TV #54 Ethan Klein said "I was just gonna say if there's another Holocaust and people start rounding up the Jews ... I just say if they start rounding up the Jews again I hope [ Ben Shapiro ] gets gassed first."

## Leftovers #29

> Main article: Shapiro Strike

>

In the midst of Ben Shapiro and right wing Twitter making an effort to get H3 banned for Ethan's Ben Shapiro/holocaust critique, on Leftovers #29 (3 days after H3TV #54), Ethan explained the context of his Ben Shapiro/holocaust and discussed it further. Some hours later he'd be informed that he'd get a strike for his original Ben Shapiro critique on H3TV #54, thus this Leftovers episode being promptly deleted shortly after it aired, likely to avoid any possibility of another strike or to prevent giving further fodder to right wing Twitter over the matter.

On December 11, 2019, Episode #165 aired (titled "K-pop Stans Cancel Us On Twitter - H3 Podcast #165"). In this episode, Ethan reacted to K-Pop Twitter being mad at his comment about K-Pop in Episode #164.

Sometime in 2021, Episode #165 was taken down by YouTube citing a violation to YouTube's Community Guidelines. The reason for the removal is publicly unknown.

Clips of the episode can still be watched on the H3 Clips channel (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) and a version of the episode can still be listened to on Spotify: H3 Podcast #165

## H3 Podcast #226

On November 26, 2020, Episode #226 was published (titled "Thanksgiving Extravaganza SPECIAL! - H3 Podcast #226"). The episode was a clip show, containing funny or shocking clips to which Ethan and Hila reacted.

A year later, on December 20, 2021, Ethan tweeted that the channel had received a strike for Episode #226 because YouTube claimed that one of the clips they showed was "too dangerous to watch". The episode was taken down by YouTube citing a "community guidelines violation". The strike prevented the H3 Podcast channel from streaming their 2021 Christmas special near Christmas. After the podcast returned from break, the Christmas content eventually aired on January 21, 2022 on After Dark #64.

The episode was never uploaded to Spotify/Podcast feeds, likely for being video centric. An archive of the episode can be watched on the Wayback Machine.
