Frenemies is a collaborative podcast between Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas, two YouTube personalities with a history of feuds between one another.[1] The podcast began in September 2020, and includes discussions on current social media topics. The podcast also features occasional challenges such as the duo performing the Presidential Fitness Test, trivia games, and a cake baking competition.
Background
The podcast name comes from the fact that Paytas and Klein have an antagonistic relationship, with a number of feuds between the pair.[2] The podcast is primarily distributed on the YouTube channel H3 Podcast and is produced by Klein, his wife Hila, and the H3 Crew, consisting of A.B. Ayad, Dan Swerdlove, Ian Slater, and sound editor Zach Louis.
In March of 2021, the podcast featured a cook-off in Klein's home, guest judged by Canadian musician Mac DeMarco.
Topics discussed
The podcast has discussed Paytas' past friendship with former YouTube stars Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star,[3] as well as Paytas' relationship with Klein's brother-in-law, Moses Hacmon.[4]
In February 2021, Paytas discussed sexual assault allegations against David Dobrik and members of the Vlog Squad on the podcast, and claimed he included her in sexual vlogs without her consent.[5][6] Frenemies was also the first platform to come out against Dobrik and the Vlog Squad.[7]
In May 2021, Paper said that Paytas revealed they were almost on season 2 of Euphoria as "plus-sized social media influencer" guest star.[8]
Controversies
The show has been controversial for its depiction of mental illness. While Frenemies has received praise for its openness regarding the topic, which advocates suggest may help break down the stigma surrounding mental illness, others have argued that the podcast is exploitative. Some have accused the podcast of purposefully provoking Paytas into a mental breakdown for views and content, a claim that the podcast's creators deny.[9]
Todd Grande, a professionally-licensed mental health counselor and YouTuber, has argued that the series is voyeuristic. Donna Yatz of Psych IRL (a YouTube channel which discusses mental health and psychology) said that while she views the podcast as exploitative, "Trisha has repeatedly said she wants to do the show. Why shouldn't she able to make this decision herself?" The physician and media personality Drew Pinsky—commonly known as Dr. Drew—has appeared as a guest on the podcast, asking Paytas and Klein questions about their personal relationships and what led to Paytas' breakdowns on the show.[9]
Paytas' husband Moses Hacmon and co-host Ethan Klein are both Jewish; however, comments on Judaism and the Holocaust made by Paytas on the show have been criticised as ignorant and offensive.[4]
