I think this strengthened Ethan’s relationship with Donna and Gary. It’s beautiful that they even agreed to this. You can tell how much Ethan loves his parents and vice versa. This is bitter sweet. But we all love you Donna and Gary!
Families was like a Monarch Butterfly. It only lasted a little while, but in the time it was around it served its purpose was well and made the world a better place 🦋🧡
I'm pretty sure he did families to complete the agreed deals with the sponsors. Trisha even said he started families bc of the contracts with the sponsors. Frenemies started roughly one year ago and Trisha said it was a one year contract so that checks out.
@@nifoob977 ? what are you on about man. He literally says in this episode that he wants to continue doing a segment of some kind with his parents. Even if this was just to finish out Frenemies ad obligations, it's clear he had a lot of fun doing this with them. Hell, at the very end of this episode he mentions for a second time that he wants them to check in for a segment every once in a while going forward.
The fact that Gary had a 0 on psychopathy makes me laugh because this is the man that was grabbing beach balls and stabbing them at a dodgers game lmao
Honestly just a MASSIVE thank you to Donna amd Gary for giving us this experience. It was really just an absolute gift to see the family together and had me laughing every episode. We all Love you guys, Donna and Gary!
Ending it is probably Ethan's way of protecting his mom. Donna just became a main character in internet drama because of TP and KS and he didn't want that for her. This was my favorite RUclips series ever but I understand. Everything is gonna work out. Thanks again for the show
I’m heartbroken Donna is the sweetest person on this planet and I love hearing her tell stories!! I even got a cameo from her the other week and it was the sweetest thing I’ve ever received I truly love her so much!!
I agree that the world was such a different place, their little “sayings” when they were adults. I can’t believe that they are just in their 70s it feels like a new world.
With a % of proceeeds going to some sort of charity that would help!! I would buy in a heart beat also hilas art is so beautiful I'm sure she could make some amazing butterfly clothes
I would love a podcast where Donna talks about her life and gives advice to young people. She is such a gentle, admirable woman. Her perspective of things is just so interesting. I would definitely tune in to that.
Donna and Gary were such a breathe of fresh air in the youtube podcast ecosystem. Nice to see a perspective that’s mostly detached from internet culture.
You guys always try out a new podcast on this slot, so why don't you rotate shows? Sometimes have content court, families, and any other show format you want to try. It could be a fun space for the show to rotate different content styles!
I supported leaving frenemies in the past BUT I cannot support saying goodbye to families!! This is the most chill, happy, wholesome content I have watched in forever! I’m devastated. Donnarch forever 🦋🥺
Ending off with Donna kindly acknowledging the crew was great, such a full circle moment! It really needed to be said after everything that's happened.
With Frenemies the saying “when one door closes a window opens” applies greatly because Families was the window to so much more opportunity and a more positive environment. I love the segments with your family and I can’t wait for more. Definitely a Donarch for life
❤️ Donna reminds me of my own mom in some ways. My mom had an aneurysm in 2014 and she’s changed so much. I love this version of my mom. But miss who she was before her aneurysm as well. Donna reminds me so much of her 🦋
Trisha ruins everything...I feel like her drama with Donna is part of the reason why they're ending it. Ethan wants to protect his fam from internet drama. ugh. I LOVED this podcast. So sad. ***EDIT: Welp, guess I was right. Ethan literally said it today (Friday) on After Dark...
I think you're giving Trisha a lil too much credit there. Trisha having to bring everything into the public light is annoying as hell, but when you interact with Trisha (especially in the manner Donna did) you have to anticipate Trisha responding.
Donna’s graceful exit has me CRYING. She is so sweet and I’m going to miss her calming energy so much. Thank you for teaching us and loving us, Donna. Much love to you and Gary. 🤍
Please same here why am I so emotional about this??? I feel like I’m part of the family listening to them talk about their family 😭😭 I’m going to miss families so much!!
It seems to me Ethan is doing this to protect his parents, since Donna in particular got so much hate from TP and her fans. Very sad but I understand it :(
Ethan don’t you dare end families now, Donna have made me actually look forward to the new weeks. I will be absolutely devastated 😩 // Uni student from Sweden
I haven't seen anyone say this, but props to Gary for saying that him and his daughter have become self aware of their narcissism and are constantly fighting it/working on it. good for them! We all have our faults, but I'm proud of them for actually acknowledging and working towards being a better people!
It was nice but tbh people took it a BIT too far, maybe a gentle nod sure but some people were very disrespectful to what are essentially strangers ngl

Thank you for giving us “Families” H3 Crew 💜💙
This show reminded me how seriously important it is to continue to bond with my parents. Once I had my own kids, I’ve been focusing on them so much that I didn’t realise how important it was. I love it, they love it, please don’t end this show.
@@DMMinthehouse as a gag. Did you not watch the episode? but many of us liked it so much it kept going. I'm glad they're going they don't need Trash drama. Donna could make her own podcast on monarcs though but Ethan would have to help her
I’m extremely upset this is the last episode. I didn’t think this was a temporary thing. I looked forward to this every week. This podcast will be truly missed 😭
As someone who struggles severely with bipolar disorder, being able to listen to your mother and her calmness was a very positive thing for me to be able to experience, however short lived it was. It will be severely missed.
as someone with severe bipolar myself- you are doing the best you can! be kind to yourself and no matter how dark it gets- it won't always be that way! take care of yourself, get plenty of sleep, and be compassionate towards yourself

Speaking as Someone who has lost his mom this year, cherish your mother. Watching these episodes have definitely made me emotional but it was a good watch and some good laughs thank you
Honestly, having Ethans parents on a podcast with him made him a bit more human to me. We see his relationship with his parents and it honestly was just an overall wholesome show. This made me have a whole new respect for Ethan and see the growth he had over the past couple of years. Thanks Donna & Gary. 🦋💜
Gary should be the cohost of Off the Rails because that is what that man truly is and I love it! Thank you for introducing us to your amazing parents 💜
@@plamoretti673 he's rude, attacks trishas physical appearance (I'm not a fan of her but it's still wrong), and he's constantly interrupting and I just wish he would stop talking every time I watch. not a fan of the boomer energy
I feel like this is ending because Ethan realized what it meant for his parents to be public figures after the Trisha drama and decided not to put that kind of stress on them, because let’s be honest they don’t need that kind of energy when they seemed to have a peaceful lowkey life before all this, really enjoyed it while it lasted, it’s been amazing to see how much the H3 podcast has grown 💕✨
I think so too. I mean, they bought the new decorations for the show just one episode ago, I'm sure it has to do something with Trisha shitting on Ethans' mom . Maybe its a coincidence (although there is no such thing as a coincidence) that he meanwhile got a new co-host but nonetheless i don't think it was planned for them to have 10 episodes only
I realized this, too, after my initial upset. Especially after seeing comments verbally abusing Donna, even here. With certain people targeting him, it is best to take them out of the line of fire.
Maybe a families episode once every few months? Treat us to it once a year? At the very least check in with Donna and Gary every now and again, with peace and love 💖🦋
Why is this so heartbreaking to me? I’ve never been so emotionally attached to a podcast. Even frenemies didn’t come close. I’m struggling to press play because I don’t want it to be over
Anyone got a timestamp to the why? Is Donna tired of doing it or something? 10 episodes is kinda a tease wtf? This is just 4x better then any other episodes they post so I dont see why they would do this.
I’m living for this ! Last episode and she finally used one of the phrases right ! I had to pause , rewind ,and show my husband lol such a memorable moment 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I am going to miss this. Especially Donna and her butterflies. She inspired me to make a segment about them for my school's Daily News Show. I am still currently working on it. I bought my own Monarch larvae and everything! I am still super excited though. I am hoping the other students help the butterflies, too. But I is high school so I doubt they care. I am also going to be a butterfly for Halloween, just thought I'd add that because it's fun. I'll miss Donna, and Gary, and this show in general. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
Same! I’ve gotten my students hooked on butterflies and how to help them because of Donna’s passion. I want to start a butterfly garden if possible thanks to her 🦋
Donna & Gary passed the parenting vibe check. 100%. I appreciate everything I've learned from both of them and their participation with this Families series. You two will definitely be missed by me. Just want to add.. Ethan, there is no perfect way of parenting. Be grateful for the type of parents you have now, despite what you dealt with as a child. Your parents are a blessing. Thank you for having them on the show.
I am more sad about this ending than when Frenemies ended! Proud Donnarch right here and I will be looking forward to the Family segments y’all do. I know it started as a joke, but this was just AWESOME. All the love!!!!!!
This podcast was a true safe haven. It reminded me of growth and rebirth. It had a unique feeling of coming from a very cold, dark winter into a peaceful springtime. Thank you guys for your hard work and entertainment.
@@bubblegumbxtchh it’s not condescending, parasocial relationships can be really damaging and have really negative effects. OP indicates this feels similar to losing her own family. I would rather take that seriously and literally in the event that it is serious rather then say nothing and assume it’s a joke. It’s not condescending to help people be aware of things that can cause harm. Also it’s text, which anyone can interpret, you’re the one who read it in a condescending manner, so perhaps look in the mirror- I’m saying this in love and encouragement so please try to read it with some positivity ✌🏽&❤️
Petition for the h3 crew to help Donna create a RUclips channel dedicated to butterfly education/updates on her Monarchs, then maybe 1x a year ya’ll can hold a “families reunion” podcast. ☮️&💙 to you & your family, I agree with ending it on a high note. Just happy to be apart of it all.
Yes it has been! ugh! I miss Frenemies so much (before Trisha turned it into something toxic) and now I'm gonna miss Families so much too! So much loss this year! I had a bit more higher hopes for 2021 but it's been such a disappointing year! :(
Don't know, it was hard for a while, especially when some people obsessively hated Ethan, and still are You know who, right wing trolls, and k*em style community
Omg I'm so sad this is ending 😭it was genuinely something I looked forward to every week! Regardless, thank you Donna for all the great advice on life and the monarch butterflies. I have a much greater appreciation for them, Donarch forever 🦋🦋🦋
@Anatol Asian people are more likely to eat butterflies. You know that. I can gear your dog whistles from a mile away. Just because butterflies are beautiful we shouldn't eat them? So are cows and dogs.
the ending really made me tear up. this was such a wholesome and stress-relieving series and we'll all miss it very much. we love you donna and gary!! i hope you come back to visit often
This saddens me. As someone who grew up with a toxic mother, it was nice to see that loving supportive mothers do exist, I got to be mothered a little bit better because of her, even if it was just through the screen. We got to live vicariously through E & H. Families was so wholesome. Donna is emotionally intelligent, considerate and naive. Which is very sweet to see. She helped heal us after the crap fest of how frenemies ended. I loved to see how prepared she was for every episode. I now have a better understanding of butterflies and how important they are. Applique', is the technique used on donna Long Sleeve T.
I literally love it when Donna talks. She has a very nurturing voice and it just therapeutic. She should have a book reading channel I'd fall asleep to that every night 😁 ✌❤
As much as I love Ethan's parents, I think he did the right thing ending it but only because I wouldn't want my folks to have to deal with the toxic and negative crap that comes with this kinda gig. They're way too nice.
Truly a sad end but it was great while it lasted! Also Donna, I run a true crime channel and if you would like to come on and talk about the crime cartels and butterflies I’d be honoured.
This show was an absolute gem. Glad this was Ethan's response to Frenemies blowing up, he truly turned a negative into a positive for everybody involved. Thank you Donna and Gary Klein, the internet owes you alot in a strange way.
This podcast was honestly so cathartic for me as someone who doesn’t have a close relationship with his parents. It has been so lovely getting to just experience this familial love from the audience and get to know the Kleins on a more personal level. Thank you, Gary and Donna! And thank you Ethan!! We will miss Families!!!
I really loved this show. It's so sad it's over. I was shocked when Ethan said it was the last one. I felt like Donna was everyone's mom and I'm going to miss her and her butterflies, sincerely. I'm heartbroken.
Frenemies should have been a limited run. Families was my everything. It was great tuning in and not being put off listening to it because something Trisha said was cringeworthy or just shitty. I knew Donna and Gary joining would be all wholesome and loved watching each episode. I'm truly sad because Donna gave me so much comfort.
“End while the show is good” is for shows with like 5 seasons!! Not 10 episodes!! Come on I know y’all can definitely make a lot of great episodes even if they’re not every week. And usually with those situations you can tell the show has run it’s course. With families I just want more!!
This really is hurting my heart. I don’t know what I’m going to do without Donna and Gary :( this podcast was one of the most wholesome and happy parts of my week. I really hope that this podcast comes back again. It was really such a refuge to tens of thousands of people across the world.
Donna's such a good actress. We all know that the real reason this ride is ending is because Ethan takes that five percent.
😅😅😅😅
He takes that 5% 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😵
He TaKeS tHaT 5 % 🙎🏼♀️
Stop it 😂
@@Taylaaaaa562 it hurts that I read that in Trishas sisters voice lol
I think this strengthened Ethan’s relationship with Donna and Gary. It’s beautiful that they even agreed to this. You can tell how much Ethan loves his parents and vice versa. This is bitter sweet. But we all love you Donna and Gary!
Agreed!! We all love your family so much. Hopefully it won’t be the last time your folks are on!! ❤️🤗
Ethan is sooo family driven. It was so nice seeing where he gets it from
@@alex-ut1rh lol he said he wasn't raised by anyone. Doesn't sound like Donna and Gary were very family driven when he was growing up.
For real. Couldn't imagine ever doing something like this with my parents and I'm sure other RUclipsrs feel the same way
Thanks to Trisha I guess things happen for a reason
Gary asked for 5% didn't he that's why this is ending. In all seriousness I'll miss families it's so wholesome and enjoyable.
Families was like a Monarch Butterfly. It only lasted a little while, but in the time it was around it served its purpose was well and made the world a better place 🦋🧡
🦋🧡🖤
Like the butterflies, everything is trying to kill the show.
That is beautifully put!!!!!!
Beautiful, so sad it has to end 💖
Are you saying all the monarch butterflies are going to die?!
This actually makes me feel sad. This show became something I really looked forward to every week.
Me too
Me too. Idk what I’m going to listen to on my way to work now :(
Same. It was like a cool place to hang out.
Agreed!
Me too I absolutely adore Donna!
Ethan protecting his folks from the toxicity that is the internet is pretty touching tbh
Ethan’s commitment to putting family first even when it’s not the safe choice for his show is definitely really admirable
I'm pretty sure he did families to complete the agreed deals with the sponsors. Trisha even said he started families bc of the contracts with the sponsors. Frenemies started roughly one year ago and Trisha said it was a one year contract so that checks out.

i lost my mother too. sending love ❤️
im in the same boat bud you're not alone
Ethan has almost no ticks and is so relaxed with his mom ❤️
i could tell there was something different about ethan on families but just now realized it was this
I’ve noticed that too, it’s lovely
So lovely to see
I completely forgot about it... wow
Wow good observation skills.
Donna is an actual angel and I’m truly going to miss Families, she has such a pure heart and I’m going to miss her genuine advice and opinions :’c
Donna is made for this job. She's a good entertainer, is able to build an audience and she never misses the chance to plug her cameo.
Yessss, I hope they make a families pod once a month or something 🥺
This is literally the biggest blue balls in the history of RUclips.

I love the way Donna looks at Ethan when he’s talking, you can tell she loves him so much and is so proud of him 🥺
I always notice this!! It’s adorable
Honestly, having Ethans parents on a podcast with him made him a bit more human to me. We see his relationship with his parents and it honestly was just an overall wholesome show. This made me have a whole new respect for Ethan and see the growth he had over the past couple of years. Thanks Donna & Gary. 🦋💜
Good comment. 100%
thanks ankles
Same
I absolutely feel the same!
@@AxxLAfriku f. Fff is f
Donna nailed that Gabe impression and I’m obsessed.
We JUST got the DUMPUM button and new curtains come onnn you can't bail on us now Ethan!!! 🦋🦋🦋
Gary should be the cohost of Off the Rails because that is what that man truly is and I love it! Thank you for introducing us to your amazing parents 💜
Absolutely
I cannot stand Gary
So true. Gary's energy fits off the rails
@@onthesquare1104 why?
@@plamoretti673 he's rude, attacks trishas physical appearance (I'm not a fan of her but it's still wrong), and he's constantly interrupting and I just wish he would stop talking every time I watch. not a fan of the boomer energy
I feel like this is ending because Ethan realized what it meant for his parents to be public figures after the Trisha drama and decided not to put that kind of stress on them, because let’s be honest they don’t need that kind of energy when they seemed to have a peaceful lowkey life before all this, really enjoyed it while it lasted, it’s been amazing to see how much the H3 podcast has grown 💕✨
I think so too. I mean, they bought the new decorations for the show just one episode ago, I'm sure it has to do something with Trisha shitting on Ethans' mom . Maybe its a coincidence (although there is no such thing as a coincidence) that he meanwhile got a new co-host but nonetheless i don't think it was planned for them to have 10 episodes only
I realized this, too, after my initial upset. Especially after seeing comments verbally abusing Donna, even here. With certain people targeting him, it is best to take them out of the line of fire.
Oh yeah great point!! Seems like it was a recent decision (because the new curtains were only used twice) and that would make TOTAL sense!!!

Trisha ruins everything
I shouldn’t be crying over a podcast but Families was actually so comforting and helpful for my mental health. Fuck.
Same 😞
Same here. I wish it wasn't ending 😥

Same. I lost the ability to walk and this show kept me from going completely insane. I’m really sad. Like really.
Yesss
DONNAS IMPRESSION OF WHITECLAW GABE IS THE BEST THING EVER
Gary manipulating his dark triad scores is the most Machiavellian move 😂😂😂
Maybe a families episode once every few months? Treat us to it once a year? At the very least check in with Donna and Gary every now and again, with peace and love 💖🦋
Why is this so heartbreaking to me? I’ve never been so emotionally attached to a podcast. Even frenemies didn’t come close. I’m struggling to press play because I don’t want it to be over
Same times a million. OMG you have no idea
Completely agreed. This is rough.
Me too! Kinda nice to know im not the only one feeling that way

I can’t keep losing my comfort podcast. Jenna julien, frenemies, families… :,(((
Dude. Right 🥺
Exactlyyyy 🥺
I feel this hard.
Anyone got a timestamp to the why? Is Donna tired of doing it or something? 10 episodes is kinda a tease wtf? This is just 4x better then any other episodes they post so I dont see why they would do this.
YES I have no idea why they would end this 😭😭
Donna's smile beaming after she successfully used "go touch some grass" is SO PURE
Loved that! ☺️☺️☺️☺️
I’m living for this ! Last episode and she finally used one of the phrases right ! I had to pause , rewind ,and show my husband lol such a memorable moment 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
WE THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN AND FAMILIES CANNOT END, ETHAN! WITH PEACE AND LOVE!
Lmao the Gary emoji
‼️‼️
🙌
These emojis have me fucking crying
AMEN
Your parents are so wise and Gary’s humor is everything , i’m gonna miss this feeling so much 😭💕
this news is unfathomable. I'll miss Donna and Gary so much. I'm not sure why I'm crying in the club right now... I love u all. sending peace and love
Your watching a podcast in the club …
@@nenej5705 if this is true, I'd imagine she just read title then commented but isn't actually watching the podcast
y’all ain’t ever heard the phrase “crying in the club” OH MY GOD HAHAHAHAHHA ITS NOT LITERAL AT ALL BOOMERS
epic thread😂

I am going to miss this. Especially Donna and her butterflies. She inspired me to make a segment about them for my school's Daily News Show. I am still currently working on it. I bought my own Monarch larvae and everything! I am still super excited though. I am hoping the other students help the butterflies, too. But I is high school so I doubt they care. I am also going to be a butterfly for Halloween, just thought I'd add that because it's fun. I'll miss Donna, and Gary, and this show in general. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
You should tweet her & let her know! I bet she’d love to hear!
Yes..I agree!
How sweet! You should tweet @ her, she’d love to know, thanks for sharing (:
You sound adoreable for a highschooler. Good job you!
Same! I’ve gotten my students hooked on butterflies and how to help them because of Donna’s passion. I want to start a butterfly garden if possible thanks to her 🦋
When Donna said, “whaaaaaaat?!” I was relieved thinking Ethan was a joking.... :(
I teared up at first, then was relieved, then burst into tears when he actually confirmed it. I’m so heartbroken
@@RavensLateNightASMR Actually cried? I wish I could cry that easily for the relief feeling
Same!
Same :(
Same :(
Donna & Gary passed the parenting vibe check. 100%. I appreciate everything I've learned from both of them and their participation with this Families series. You two will definitely be missed by me.
Just want to add.. Ethan, there is no perfect way of parenting. Be grateful for the type of parents you have now, despite what you dealt with as a child. Your parents are a blessing. Thank you for having them on the show.
Donna is the cutest human, I’m going to miss the weekly reminder that there is still pure, sweet souls like her out there
I am more sad about this ending than when Frenemies ended! Proud Donnarch right here and I will be looking forward to the Family segments y’all do. I know it started as a joke, but this was just AWESOME. All the love!!!!!!
Home away from home!!
aww how pathetic that you’re ending it because it gets so many less views than frenemies, Trisha really won huh. enjoy your celiac, Donna.
@@Hqhqhqhqhhwhw wtf lmao
Fax 💯💯
❤️
This podcast was a true safe haven. It reminded me of growth and rebirth. It had a unique feeling of coming from a very cold, dark winter into a peaceful springtime. Thank you guys for your hard work and entertainment.
Am so heartbroken. Can Gary and Donna just start their own podcast? They are so wholesome. It feels like I’m losing part of my family 😓😢
Yeah I honestly feel like the better option is just they do this monthly or bi-monthly
With peace and love, please work on para-social behaviour. It can be really detrimental ✌🏽&❤️
@@jumlee5215 With peace and love, work on your condescension. ✌🏻 & 💜.
@@bubblegumbxtchh it’s not condescending, parasocial relationships can be really damaging and have really negative effects. OP indicates this feels similar to losing her own family. I would rather take that seriously and literally in the event that it is serious rather then say nothing and assume it’s a joke. It’s not condescending to help people be aware of things that can cause harm. Also it’s text, which anyone can interpret, you’re the one who read it in a condescending manner, so perhaps look in the mirror- I’m saying this in love and encouragement so please try to read it with some positivity ✌🏽&❤️
@@jumlee5215 youre right in some ways. but yanno not everyone has a nice supportive family.
Petition for the h3 crew to help Donna create a RUclips channel dedicated to butterfly education/updates on her Monarchs, then maybe 1x a year ya’ll can hold a “families reunion” podcast. ☮️&💙 to you & your family, I agree with ending it on a high note. Just happy to be apart of it all.
Donna and Gary healed so many of us from broken families! We are going to miss you!
This 😪
this year is an emotional roller coaster for H3 fans.
Yes it has been! ugh! I miss Frenemies so much (before Trisha turned it into something toxic) and now I'm gonna miss Families so much too! So much loss this year! I had a bit more higher hopes for 2021 but it's been such a disappointing year! :(
I agree, fully believe anything could happen with this channel know
Yeah wtf I’m hurt! Lol
Omg seriously 🥲
Don't know, it was hard for a while, especially when some people obsessively hated Ethan, and still are
You know who, right wing trolls, and k*em style community
I still can get over how Ethan said “ I’ll snap the little babies neck” pls 😭
Omg I'm so sad this is ending 😭it was genuinely something I looked forward to every week! Regardless, thank you Donna for all the great advice on life and the monarch butterflies. I have a much greater appreciation for them, Donarch forever 🦋🦋🦋
Donarchs unite 🦋
Actually nice if you fry them up with garlic butter and a bit of salt. Crunchy little snacks 🦋.
@Anatol your white privilege is showing. I'm being serious they are a source of protein in some places that are not America.
@Anatol internalised white privilege is a terrible thing. Do better.
We be horrible about other people's eating habits.
Stop Asian-hate.
@Anatol Asian people are more likely to eat butterflies. You know that.
I can gear your dog whistles from a mile away.
Just because butterflies are beautiful we shouldn't eat them?
So are cows
and dogs.
I don’t know how many more times I can read a title like this Ethan! 😭
He can’t keep getting away with thisss!!!
Is this seriously done? I am too anxious to wait

the ending really made me tear up. this was such a wholesome and stress-relieving series and we'll all miss it very much. we love you donna and gary!! i hope you come back to visit often
This saddens me. As someone who grew up with a toxic mother, it was nice to see that loving supportive mothers do exist, I got to be mothered a little bit better because of her, even if it was just through the screen. We got to live vicariously through E & H. Families was so wholesome.
Donna is emotionally intelligent, considerate and naive. Which is very sweet to see. She helped heal us after the crap fest of how frenemies ended.
I loved to see how prepared she was for every episode. I now have a better understanding of butterflies and how important they are.
Applique', is the technique used on donna Long Sleeve T.
Felt this
@@momomelon8380 yes! This!
Well said
I literally love it when Donna talks. She has a very nurturing voice and it just therapeutic. She should have a book reading channel I'd fall asleep to that every night 😁 ✌❤
As much as I love Ethan's parents, I think he did the right thing ending it but only because I wouldn't want my folks to have to deal with the toxic and negative crap that comes with this kinda gig. They're way too nice.
Yes… maybe he also doesn’t want them to change because of it
@@sydneyc3259 Yeah probably. It would be hard not to.
When there's an emergency meeting for drama news, they should call it "Donna Alert "
My heart can't take this podcast ending when my college year is starting. This is too much bestie
same ! it was going to be something i look forward to every week :(
@@emeluzun4731 literally, and it's only syllabus week 🥲
Yes!
Same.. and i don’t start until next week NOT FAIR😔
Makes sense. H3H3 is children’s content that appeals to children.
I feel like Ethan’s parents belong in the podcast world now.
Agreed! They are so entertaining.
If they made their own I would definitely listen to it
Saaaame!
They better come back and make appearances in these podcasts!
Call it parents. Post whenever. We’ll watch! We promise.
Absolutely! Love them! ❤️
Truly a sad end but it was great while it lasted! Also Donna, I run a true crime channel and if you would like to come on and talk about the crime cartels and butterflies I’d be honoured.
This is the crossover I need!!!
Yes yes and yes!
i need this
Love your stuff!

This show was an absolute gem. Glad this was Ethan's response to Frenemies blowing up, he truly turned a negative into a positive for everybody involved. Thank you Donna and Gary Klein, the internet owes you alot in a strange way.
This podcast was honestly so cathartic for me as someone who doesn’t have a close relationship with his parents. It has been so lovely getting to just experience this familial love from the audience and get to know the Kleins on a more personal level. Thank you, Gary and Donna! And thank you Ethan!! We will miss Families!!!

Pls do special episodes with them once in a while they’re literally a breath of fresh air! Love you Donna & Gary!
I'm glad I know Donna exists, I was really worried about getting older but now I know that I can still be beautiful and stylish even around her age
She's so beautiful!
Yes! Same here!
She is such an icon I love her ☺️I felt the same way
Also so smiley and positive, seems like she is satisfied with life 💖
You could tell filming Families was such a highlight of both Donna and Gary’s week, it’s upsetting this has to end
Donna’s White Claw Gabe impression was so gentle and pure. I’m going to miss seeing her face weekly 🥺❤️
I was shocked to hear her say all that lol
I really loved this show. It's so sad it's over. I was shocked when Ethan said it was the last one. I felt like Donna was everyone's mom and I'm going to miss her and her butterflies, sincerely. I'm heartbroken.
Donna is a treasure and she should have her own educational podcast where she shares her research with us. Low key love her
i high key love her
high key*
HIGH KEY
All hail our butterfly queen 🦋👑✨
@@michaelaxx8149 the positive vibes are immaculate 🦋 ✨ 💕
Frenemies should have been a limited run. Families was my everything. It was great tuning in and not being put off listening to it because something Trisha said was cringeworthy or just shitty. I knew Donna and Gary joining would be all wholesome and loved watching each episode. I'm truly sad because Donna gave me so much comfort.
Yes, I agree so much, donna is wholesome and helped heal a lot of us.
“End while the show is good” is for shows with like 5 seasons!! Not 10 episodes!! Come on I know y’all can definitely make a lot of great episodes even if they’re not every week. And usually with those situations you can tell the show has run it’s course. With families I just want more!!
Unless the show is Westworld. lol
Like the walking dead 🙄
Yesss
Every great UK show ends after 2 seasons, 10 episodes to me is pretty good, to you it's unheard of
His parents aren't in the business and they prob have busy personal lives in retirement
Aw he should keep this one going . His mom clearly is loving this.
This really is hurting my heart. I don’t know what I’m going to do without Donna and Gary :( this podcast was one of the most wholesome and happy parts of my week. I really hope that this podcast comes back again. It was really such a refuge to tens of thousands of people across the world.
Yesss
