So she survived 9 months of surgery, having cancer, and raising Ethan..? Damn what a hero.

@AcidDust66 gary's a charm so it doesn't count

Got that for you!!

@AcidDust66 highe b

@AcidDust66 I love you

Okay okay babe babee I see we

Ethan's parents look like Hollywood stars in the thumbnail.

1

They are

What are talking about? Gary and Donna Klein are A-List celebs.

@lurker aw

Ethan's Parents ARE Hollywood stars

Ethans mom looks more like she could be Hila’s mom

@cb7pwn ew x 100

well they say you marry your mother so... lol

@Lara You have a pretty name.

If you've very little observational ability, yeah. (Hint: hair color)

@LitGirlablaZe true lol. It freaks me out a little tho haha. When we first met, I was so much like her in personality; quiet, shy, sweet. It was mostly due to the fact I was 15. Now that I’m older, I’m kinda loud, jokey, and outgoing. His mom is still the same as before, but he tells me he loves me so much more how I am now than how I used to be. So, it probably started as familiarity, but, now, I don’t think there’s an ounce of me that reminds me of his mom. However, from day one, he was never like my dad physically or personally. I could make a stretch and say they share their abrasiveness, but I’m dad takes a lot more provocation to reach that point and doesn’t express it the same. Who knows.. psychology is a weird and twisted thing😂

Ethan makes no genetic sense.

Yeah yyyYeah yyyyyy

Yeah you yyyyYeah yyour yyour y

Yeah yYeah yyou yyou yyeah yyou yyyyyy

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Ethan's dad looks like an older but more attractive Stephen King

It’s so funny to see this comment from 2 years ago and people are still saying this about him lmao

Foreshadowing Families

Also if stephen king wasnt a perv

sk is more attractive

Doesn't ethan's dad look like sodapoppin's dad?? are they twins?

Let's be honest, Donna and Gary are the OG memes. Ethan just genetically inherited the goofs and the gaffs.

Yes sir

Well Ethan clearly inherited his talent from his grandpa. The producer of Dallas!! Insane!!

Indeed

sup boy

hey now

who’s here after donna’s appearance in families? 🙋‍♀️

Hell Yh brother

@Crystal Castles 🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞

@Cedar C 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

@Crystal Castles why not?

@Crystal Castles kk

gary is hilarious and cynical and donna is sweet and considerate. ethan is the best of both of them. also donna looks like zelda.

Ugh they are so cute I can’t

WhoAaaaaa

She looks like Shannon Elizabeth

Wow she actually really looks like zelda thats crazy

Ethan's mom is so cute and charming! It's like she forever has the personality of an adorable 16-year-old girl lol

She’s reminds me of my mom

She’s so beautiful

I never realized, Ethan looks nothing like his parents

I’m adopted and HATE adoption jokes. I’ve never said this, but could he be? He looks nothing like either of them.

He looks like his mom. He has her eyes and nose.

Dude no he totally looks like his dad his dad is just older now I wanna see a pic of Him when he was younger

@A agreed would like to know

@kenzie24 how do you look jewish? Genuine question

truly beautiful, a man with his dad, mom and caretaker.

Ferreal Ferrreal go

carer*

*boy

do you know what a comma is, dad mom?

Mikko Huovinen and sister

It’s so cute ethans mom was worried about boring us with her story, I was about to take a nap and couldn’t stop watching because it was so interesting. Glad she’s okay!

We need an updated ep with Ethan's parents an possibly Hilas mom. It would be a dope an wholesome ep. Congrats on your tokens.

Little did you know

@Dr. Krab Indeed, Magic is Real.

You got your wish

Ur wish has been granted

@manuel guizar Bruuuuuuh I know! I was mind blown like a mutha fuck.

I love them referring to each other as mom and dad. Lol classic rents

@A LOL

@Lil butthead Where’d it go🤨

@Lil butthead That's cool! Thanks for replying

@Origami Traveler it's a badge you get when you support the podcast. I think it changes color over time. It's a badge of honor lol

what is that thing next to your name

It’s crazy how similar Ethan’s mom and hila look

Go watch the newest Frenemies, Ethan shares a pic of his mom at 17. She looks so much like Hila it's insane! Both so stunning

@Neo Selah I came to also say my partners are always the opposite of my parents both in personality and appearance. It's like they were the blueprint of what I don't want.

@Cats like salt and vinegar crisps I can attest that this is false

Your spouse resembles your opposite sex parent. Science proves so . You feel safe with your Mam....so you go for someone who looks like her.

Yeah, it’s almost like Hilas really his sister..........

ethan has more of a dad bod than his own dad

Lmao stop😂😭

His dad was from another way of living. Kids these days record themselves on the couch and make more in a year than their parents have in their life

Abba Shemyaza he’s also much fatter

Imposter

this is my favorite comment

I'm literally listening to a guy talk with his parents and wife. I should call mine 😆😆😆

@Trevor Johnson lol

I feel ya, that time is precious

ya but you don’t

Shutbyotch lul

@Javjean hope you have since then lol;@ Jack Daniels I feel ya 😕

1:16:07 Gary Klein, the original "there's no such thing as a coincidence" guy

LMAO i was looking for this comment!!!

We are all spiritually aligned 😂

This came to mind immediately when I heard it lol

@Alexandra Ionica yes hahahah

ethan's dad: *exists* ethan: "Dad, why are you ruining my life?!"

not to be mean but your dad is rocking that white hair like nothing else.

Ethan's mom: painstakingly crafts a thoughtful binder with custom images for her son, a truly one of a kind gift Ethan: ew what is this aspect ratio

It made it way funnier

Ethan's mom and dad look like an alternate dimension version of George Lucas and Carrie fisher who grew old together.

Omg yes!

@Clucky Boi dr

@Nat Le d7

Everytime I hear surgery stories like this I’m just convinced I cannot handle getting old

It's weird seeing Ethan's dad after so many episodes of him talking ill about him.

@A His dad being a creep has caused trauma to Ethan.

@A following

What kind of stuff?

I noticed a few negative things that Ethan has mentioned (in past and recent videos) about his dad in this video, and I scrolled to the comments when his dad said that his mom was a "horrible storyteller" right after she told a story. But the comments aren't talking about this, except for you.

Fr i want ethan to have another podcast with his dad or with both his parents.... see how it is and what would happen if he dug into his dads backround/ relationship with him a bit more

I don’t know about y’all but after hearing this story, I’m ultra glad the Donarch is here with us today

its 2019 and this is the 5th time I’ve watched this. Pls do another with them

@Hari Mohan yo

It’s now 2021 and they have the families podcast 🥰

@Katie T LOL I DID!!!

Lol you got your wish

Sup homie, its 2021

With all due respect, Ethan's mother is so classically beautiful.

you mean “with peace and love, ethans mother is so classically beautiful”

Why y’all so creepy and sexist

nevermind, found out his dad's a real estate agent

does anyone know their occupations before?

Your Mom: oh my gosh all of your viewers are probably tuning out Me: this is probably one of my favorite episodes

I love how Hila is so quiet but when she speaks its comedy gold

Ethans mom,, she’s aging so beautifully wow

Ethan definitely gets his eyes from his mom.

@afridi anindyo oh I know a ton about army. And all I said was true.

@M8DLT army is a dumb fanbase that stalks a group of singers.

Amelia Sommers ?

I love how Ethan’s parents call each other Mom and Dad, it’s like a new level of respect for your partner playing so many roles in your life, my parents do the same so wholesome 🥺

mine used to do the same thing too lol

This whole podcast reminds me of the long conversations you have at the table after lunch with parents or relatives when they come visit. It's so laid back, I love it.

you probably had a bad childhood. Feels bad man. :(

mirrormimi no idea what you're talking bud

mirrormimi perfect way to describe this

You are lucky to have a family. Never forget that.

Ethan's mom is a great story teller!!

2:19:00 Ethan’s mom making a scrap book about the podcast, printing thumbnails and photos is the cutest and sweetest thing ever 🥺🥺🥰💕

Fucking love your mom dude, I could listen to her talk all day.

wow ethan’s mom is so strong. that story was horrifying 😱 i’m so glad she’s okay

If Gary Klein sold merch, it would sell like a god church

Uhh they are jewish

This is such a 2017 comment lol

More like a god mosque

Im still waiting for the movie

YHVH Synagogue.

“So they stabbed the needle in my back......in between your ribs.....it hurt soooo baaaaad” “So anyway” “I started doing yoga....”

Revisiting this after the new "Families"

Same

@vieuphoria1008 *with war and violence, you really came for him 😭 but I was thinking the same thing honestly

same , kinda crazy hearing ethan say the f slur and calling some fans autistic but his growth since then is insane

exactly! 😍

Same and DAMN time has been horrible to Ethan what a difference four years makes sheesh yikes that’s terrifying.. Drinking green smoothies from this point on I don’t wanna look back four years from now and see that I’ve turned into a ziplock bag of mayonnaise Edit : with peace and love

when his dad said he was destined to meet his mom...The smile on her face is everything.

its crazy how i'll watch a literal family conversation for 2 hours and think it's "entertainment"

Imagine having nice parents who are normal, not abusive and actually proud of you. What a concept.

Tbh he did say that in his childhood he wasnt looked after properly because his parents were always busy, he did say he wouldnt have good food to eat only take aways etcetc

Feel this

Feel sorry for you dawg

@Wolf 420 My childhood was the exact same, minus the siblings, I had no siblings. I've overcome A LOT of my trauma & have taken back my self-esteem & confidence! I'm down to chat in detail if you have some kind of social media you don't mind putting in a public YouTube comment thread 🤣

@Henry G I don't think this comment ruins any good vibes. As long as it's not disrespectful, it's just a comment to me.

Wow I didn't know Ethan's dad is a famous author who dabbles in the horror genre and has had many movie adaptations.

i dont get how people say he doesn’t look like his parents he has literally his mother’s eyes! and some other features as well, he looks like his mom a lot he’s just fatter lol

yah the similarities are more noticeable in this older video bc he's a bit thinner here

I love seeing Ethan with his parents. Can't wait for the next Families episode

Pls do another podcast with them they’re amazing

His mom is so calm and loving

Coming back to this and hearing Ethan us that most people don’t sit down and have conversations like this was so true. My mother is dying from brain cancer and we have been having these kind of talks and it’s wonderful for our relationship.

Everyone is good looking on this podcast, damn! Terrible what happened to your mom, a pace maker procedure usually is simple. Incompetent doctor.

this is such a sweet commemt

I've watched this podcast like 6 times, haha. Idk why. It's just really relaxing listening to Ethan's parents speak about their experiences, I'd love to hear them more on the podcast.

Watching for the second time. I totally relate with you.

ethan's parents seem like intelligent, delightful people

Drew his mother is beautiful, I wish I could age so well

I love when his parents start bickering about stuff that happened 30 years ago 😂. If that’s not us in 30 years I don’t want it.

Ethan's dad seems chill to hang out and have a beer with.

“Your heart is being crushed yesterday” - One of Hila Klein’s many iconic lines

We want the full Klein family on the podcast together

I wish Ethan's parents would make another appearance on the podcast🙏

@Marguerite Kreitsek that wish is over damn

It's 2021, looks like you got your wish!

Gary's poster story lesson: There is no such thing as a coincidence.

Ethan's dad just shouting out literally everything and everyone.

My dad died because he couldn't afford his heart medication. He worked hard his whole life, had a good job, had good insurance until he had switched jobs and had a "lapse" in his insurance. Which then didn't pay anything toward his 1st heart attack. After that they laid him off. When he went back to work he had lost his insurance and never could afford to take his meds/miss any work. He died on the job just trying to get through to retirement, he was so close to making it...had a count down on his calendar but he was screwed out of it. My mom is still paying the bill for his first heart attack even after his death.

Thats so sad sorry this happened to you guys

That's devastating 😟

Medicare for All!!

@Becky P I am so so sorry. Sending you and your mother love. These things aren't right. People shouldn't have to pay for emergency care. And no one should have to not take meds theyneed because they can't afford (physically or financially) to pay for them. It is an impossible system and I'm sorry this has been your familys experience. You and your mom are in my thoughts.and I'm sorry for your loss. ❤

this makes me so sad, i’m so sorry god bless you and you’re family

I could listen to Ethan's dad ramble for hours

Saaaame. I’m saving this podcast for sure. I’ve listened to it two different times in the passed two days lmao

a very good conversation

SeanNaut this a good conversation

no colonel is a military term, kernel is the term proper for popcorn and corn.

mazzi spazzi that's no excuse!!! Australians are an intelligent people. Don't dingus up your nation crocodile Dundee!

From this to families 😍 can’t wAit to see more from ethans parents

Gary said it back then, there's no such thing as a coincidence.

Both of Ethan's parents look GREAT for their age... wow.

Who else is watching this again after the first podcast episode with ethan and donna ?

You're mom is a very amazing woman to have gone through all of her health issues and still, she is positive and happy about everything. It was fun to meet them and see how you all interact with with each other. 🥰

i feel like "my heart's being crushed yesterday" doesn't get enough appreciation. I still come to watch it once in a while

Dude,Gary looks so much like Stephen King

donna is such a cool chick!!! i could listen to her talk about her life all day long! i would be really interested to see them interviewed separately, though just because they are both entertaining in such different ways. gary is awesome too and i like the energy he brings but it kind of frustrated me that he interrupted her so much from a listener standpoint. but i do get that that's their dynamic and they are married so i don't mean that as a criticism towards them as people, but just think it would be really fun to see them both in their own element! i hope to see them back on the podcast soon! maybe a split podcast first half with donna, last half with gary?? i also think it would be really cool to watch them play the newlywed game!

Ethans dad loves giving shout outs it’s so cute

This was a lot of fun to watch again now that Families is out. I completely forgot that we already heard the acid trip story in this episode

Wouldn’t it be cool if they had a spin-off podcast where just the parents and Ethan told stories and gave boomer advice 🤠

Honestly this was more interesting and fun than all the other podcasts with famous people

Ethan is so lucky growing up, KFC's always free for him.

Hehe

Early FUPA cultivation.

HillarysClit b

Rendell Valles 😂😂😂 ded

The colonel dropping some wicked zingers as always

This makes me feel like my parents are strangers compared to their relationship

I love his parents lol. They seem very genuine compared like most.

the sound has gotten so much better since this time. Papa bless Zach

Ethan's mom looks like a better older version of princess Leia.

Ethan's mom kinda resembles hila. Kinda weird how people fall in live with people that look like their mothers

@Username ok true

@Origami Traveler ok let’s not go too crazy

came down here looking for this comment

Freud was right

nah

Is this whats its like to have a normal family? Incredible, love this episode.

After watching all of the episodes of families that are currently out, I wanted to go back and watch this first episode with them in it again. Very awesome!

His parents so are amazing and are so great I wish he kept doing families

"I woke up and I screamed for your dad's name..." Gary: "You're not the first woman to do that." LMAOOO! What a legend!

Chitran101 from the post Malone podcast he put it there

lol Gary's Mic says Papa Bless

GrandPAPA BLESS!

1:08:53

1:08:57

i love ethan's parents. his dad is fucking hilarious!

Wait, can Ethan bring his Grandfather on the pocast to spit some Yiddish?!

Ethan's mom was astral projecting. :) it's a perfect description of the experience.

Ethan’s mom reminds me so much of my own, and it gladdens my heart. His dad is absolutely hilarious and entirely awesome.

Ethan’s parents need to start their own podcast. Love this episode!! Papa bless

Ethan: well don’t you want to make America great again? Ethans dad: yeah by not having trump in office I love him lol

Ethan, please do another one of these. Hearing your parents stories is honestly so relaxing and entertaining

I'm quite on the down side today at the office. Listening to this podcast just made my day tolerable.

Ethan's dad is such a dad. He's THE dad

He's cool 😎

He’s my dad

I’m so glade I clicked on this episode all late but definitely a must watch episode

if i even look half as good as ethans mom looks at her age ill consider that a big accomplishment lol

That's gonna be pretty hard considering you don't even look half as good now.

Gary and Donna remind me of my own parents they're great.

I see where Ethan gets his humour from!! His parents are soooo charming ♥️

Ethan's parents are actually cool old people

Miqayel Harutyunyan ayyy i'm exactly the 2100th like

Miqayel Harutyunyan Lol

Miqayel Harutyunyan they probably did alot of lsd in the 80's

the way ethans mom looked at his dad when he said that he was destined to be with/find her made made my heart melt

Thank you guys so much. You are helping me through a very shitty time in my life just by talking, sharing some goofs and gaffs, and just being yourselves. Thank you. ❤️

Ethan’s dad reminds me of Walter White when he’s telling stories at Elliot’s birthday

I hope they sued the fuck out of that hospital. Seriously, just hearing Donna explaining everything that happened made me almost tear up.

Also, I love how dramatic Ethan's mom is. Not in a negative way. Like she's so amazed by everything. I love her

SOS Brigade Chief -.- Please read the book "Guns, Germs, and Steels" also are you saying that your average white person is "superior" (idk how you even define that) to that of someone like Michael Jackson? I'm not even black and I consider Michael Jackson far far more accomplished than myself. He's a musical genius, worked his ass off for more hours straight than some kids in sweatshops, and has over 10 #1 Billboard hits. So please watch what you say especially when you're just spitting out false stereotypes.
