It’s a graveyard – a looping image of a graveyard and in the description it says “Ethan”. “He changed the video and it scared the living Christ out of me. “It was originally counting down 300 hours to December 1 at midnight,” Klein recollected. Twenty-four hours after the shower curtain incident, however, Wilson’s livestream changed again. Klein was spooked but not yet fleeing for the hills. And there were shots of him walking through a graveyard.” “We pulled up the live stream… and the countdown faded to a shower curtain.
“It was super creepy,” Klein would recall on a later episode of his podcast. Wilson's response was to put a countdown clock on his YouTube channel, containing a reference to h3h3. The cheesy ditty included head-smackingly simple lyrics such as “7 AM, waking up in the morning/ Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs/ Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal (cereal)", and was accompanied by a low-budget video of Black riding in her car with her friends. When comedian Michael John Nelson called it "the worst video ever made" on his YouTube channel, the song became an unlikely viral hit.īut by 2017 the hits had dried up for Wilson and ARK Music, and Klein had lately used his h3h3 podcast to deride Wilson's track record of working with young teenagers.
In 2011, Wilson had achieved overnight celebrity – or at least “internet celebrity”– for writing, producing and rapping in a novelty song, Friday, for 13-year-old wannabe-singer Rebecca Black, whose mother paid ARK $4000.

I’m sitting there, expecting him to come out of the backseat.” “We get in the car, we drive… I’m… looking over my shoulder. “I was legitimately freaked out,” he recalled on his podcast h3h3. In November 2017, podcaster Ethan Klein was seated in his car in the parking lot of a Ralph’s grocery store in Los Angeles “sh_ bullets”.
