Ethan appreciation post

I’m rewatching old eps and Ethan used to be so much goofier. Dare I say- jollier. I was making connections to the weight loss and was wondering if that has an effect on my perception of how “funny” he is. But then I thought more about it and realized how much he has had going on the past year+.

He has: 1. publicly reacted to a brutal attack in Hila’s home country 2. Faced extreme backlash for a reasonable response to the war. 3. Dealt with people attacking him and his wife constantly, mostly due to their background or ethnicity 4. Broken up with hasan 💔 4. Had to speak out against antisemitism and then getting even more flack for it, ect 3. Fathered a newborn, a 5 yo, and 3 yo simultaneously and keeping that his #1 priority 4. Health issues. Mystery Autoimmune issues and he gets sick constantly. And for the love of God please stop taking DayQuil it does not work please use mucinex
5. Kept losing weight or maintaining the weight. Do you know how miserable and tired a calorie deficit makes you???

And that’s all we know of.

I know the crew does so much, and im not going to downplay that. But I imagine having to do a show 4x a week having to be funny or entertaining when you’re physically and emotionally drained can’t be easy. And feeling like you have to acknowledge literal neo-nazis on your platform can’t be fun. And though it’s not fun to watch, I understand why it needs to be done.

But mostly I want to thank Dan for keeping this boat afloat and being perfect in every way. Peace and love ✌️
