Kelly Wakasa's Origin Story, College Dropout - EP 3 

hey guys! plz b nice to our lovely roomie ashley! we’re all learning how to podcast and sometimes we might talk over each other, etc! we hear what u guys r saying and will improve! love - all of us

DO WHAT EXCITES

Kelly knows when to be serious and when to joke. He knows what he wants and goes for it. Good job Kelly.

Woah. Anne marie knows how to handle a podcast.

It would be fun to see the Roommates go visit each of their hometowns. It's already fun and interesting seeing and hearing them talk about their origin stories but a visit to where each of them grew up would be a whole new different experience. I also would love to see them travel together to South Korea.

Annemarie would make such a great motivational interviewer haha, she recallls the things Kelly says so he can elaborate & expand why he thinks that wta

You can tell Kelly and Ashley spend a lot quality time together. She’s constantly budding in with little comments just about every time Kelly says something. Plus, the fact that Elliot and Annemarie are sitting there listen to them both is great. And I can’t forget about the way Ashley and Kelly look at each other when one another is talking. Man, what a duo.

These episodes just make me love annemarie more !!! She’s hands down the best listener and ask the deepest questions and brings sooo much depth to the podcast.

I like how AM is being so like philosophical almost like such a proper vibe and then the rest of them are just chillin saying the most random things and adding things in

Annemarie should do more interviewing videos!! She is so good at it

no bc annemarie is a natural podcaster

I am so impressed with Annemarie's facilitating and interviewing skills! She definitely went beyond the surface with the questions and had great listening skills. Appreciate Kelly's thoughtful responses as well, he's so goofy in other videos (Btw, Kelly, I love Remy Drives a Linguini)

yess Annmarie was right kelly did say my mom!!

Such an authentic portrayal of Kelly, learned a lot about him. I think it's super interesting to have these informations about his mentality to better appreciate his videos. Annemarie is such a good lead for this podcast and seeing Ashley interact with Kelly is super cute 😊

These podcasts have shown such a raw and honest side to your mom's house, and Annemarie really shined through in all of them. She asks insightful and deep questions, listens well, and connects shared experiences with the subject without making it about herself. I can't wait for Annemarie's origin story episode, and I hope that she gets to lead other podcasts in the future!

Annemarie's really out here feeding my psych major soul

Annemarie really knows how to bring out a different side of people through her questions.

You can acctually see Ashley really loves kelly.

honestly this podcast got me hella motivated, esp when listening to kelly talk abt his inspirations

These podcasts are super entertaining. I used to listen to podcasts all the time but for around 2 years I stopped because I couldn’t find any that interest me. I’m super happy they are doing this because it’s so interesting and something I really enjoy listening to.

this episode was so good. I love how much more we got understand about kelly’s passion and mindset in this video because he’s sooooo infectious with his energy and I feel so good listening about how his brain works that, it literally me so hyped because of his energy through this pod. I love yall so much good ep

Kelly's story is very inspiring, I first found him through braille probably around 7 years ago now, and it is very cool to see how far he has come

Kelly getting so excited during the whole podcast is so wholesome, everyone in this friend group is just so wholesome and gives off the best positive vibes

I remember seeing Kelly hesitating about moving in with Elliot for the first time. Crazy to see how much you've grown and how the risk has brought you so many more opportunities

Annemarie's questions were so good!

i feel like annemarie's questions are so insightful

What an amazing group of individuals. I like the way Ashley really gets Kelly and vise versa. Much love roomies.

i agree with annemarie!! kelly's inspiration from the ratatouille soundtrack is fascinating -- he really has defined his strategy to create content

Kelly is 4 years younger than me and i find a lot of inspiration and relatability in his life story. Aspire to be as successful one day

It was really very nice to know Kelly this close. Can't wait the girls to share their stories. Thanks for your time and effort guys

wow, i can really resonate with kelly and quitting a sport you’ve spent so much time investing in for so many years of your life and also having your parents be disappointed in your decision. i ran track for seven years and telling my parents i didn’t want to do it anymore was one of the hardest things ive done in my life. props to you kelly for doing what you wanted to do!

Kelly is just goat and too good at everything he does man. It's strange how he's so confident but never cocky and always humble and down to earth. You're an inspiration dawg DWE!!❤️

Loving the podcast so far! I like how supportive and uplifting you all are for one another. Also I have been listening to the Ratatouille soundtrack for several weeks now and it's such a motivating way of studying or just getting editing done 🙌🏽

I love Kelly’s brain, he’s very intelligent, passionate and interesting

These podcasts are so great, the content everyone shares individually is already amazing and this group gig is an absolute cherry on top. Thank you Guys for the blessings !! 🌞

annemaries questions made this interview so much more interesting and insightful!!

OMFG! Kelly is literally an ocean of things! Such a creative soul. One of the most interesting personalities I've ever seen in my entire life!

This homie series is so epic. Can't wait for Ashley's and Annemarie's!

been watching kelly since the 'road to sponsorship' days. crazy how long it's been! glad to see it all worked out

I relate to Kelly in every aspect of what he talked about! I watched one video of his then went back and watched his entire catalogue and now I know why!

Nobody: Ashley: "That's soooo funny"

Wow this was actually awesome and unexpectedly relate-able! I have been watching Kelly's videos for years and didn't know so much of this. I also grew up where soccer was my life and was my path to college. I even did freestyle soccer and made videos and an instagram posting it all and became known for that to an extent. But I also loved snowboarding and even was into skateboarding until high school when I stopped because I didn't want to be a typical "skater girl" or be part of that crowd, even though everyone I knew in the skating community was for the most part super kind and good people. Not all exactly the same of, but honestly one of the more similar stories I've heard. Makes me feel even more connected to Kelly's content, definitely my favorite creator. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to hear more about ashley and annemarie next!

I just watched this earlier and during my art homework I saw there was a quote by Picasso saying “Good artists copy, great artists steal” and it reminded me of Kelly!

It was funny listening to Kelly talking about his idols and what they mean to him because Kelly made me look at life differently. Since watching him I’ve really tried to do what excites

this was genuinely really insightful

I love how Kelly has really influenced each of them, particularly Ashley in stepping outside of her comfort zone to ‘do what excites’

Love it all Kelly 😎 loved hearing you talk about your idols. I feel the exact same way, and draw so much inspiration from mine as well. I relate to you so much brotha, much love your way 🙏🏻

Everyone needs to watch this. Wow we love Kelly so much more

Kelly man, one of my 5 role models is you. Your content, work ethic and creativity is truly inspiring!

love putting these on while studying

It would be so fun if you guys had your show on Netflix y'all are so inspiring funny relatable natural and chill there is no drama nothing is fake and everything is genuine

Kelly lowkey is my role modell i love the way he's passion about making videos and i want to be like him one day and follow my passion 😌

AHHH thank you for listening to our suggestions, guys!!

This is my favorite podcast to listen to on Sundays :D

I’ve been watching Kelly for a long time, and always waiting for new videos

I LOVEEE THIS!! Fav episode currently! Thank youuuu🤍

I've started watching Kelly since Ur Mom's House started and I really expected him to really have that "monster energy" and hyper and messy, so I was really surprised when Annemarie said in a vid (i cant remember which one) that Kelly is surprisingly calm and organized, which is also a contrast i guess from how he was before in The Bay as he talked about. I love how he somehow controls or balances out his competitiveness. Kelly killin' it with the personal development

This was actually a very very inspiring and energizing episode!!! Yayy

Kelly singing ´´le festin´´ is music to my ears.

Seriously,what a episode..i mean this inspire me to dream and go for it ...♥️

So fire im coming to new york soon yall gotta make more food spot reviews also if yall could add timestamps that be sickk. Love from the Bay Area keep goingg

This podcast was really inspiring for me thanks guys 😁😁☺☺☺

This provided a surprising peek into what's "behind the curtain" of Kelly Wakasa's personality. The most revealing element for me was the "moral compass" he uses to navigate his decisions. Prior to this, I would have assumed he was somewhat "without a moral rudder" based on some of his antics packed older videos. I was relieved to learn of his respect for commitment, family values, and the innocence of true belief. He is more likable than ever. I'd like to see him transition to short films. With his roommates providing expertise, of course!

I learned a lot from this. Amazing backstory kelly

kelly's story is so inspiring. thanks for sharing i haven't been motivated in a while and this HELLA motivated me. makes me wanna try to be more passionate about life like he is.

Kelly's Life is fascinating. Even the smallest part of his life is so fascinating; I can listen to his stories, All-day

Annemarie asks such good questions!!

everything about this video is an inspiration

we need a "and they were roommates" vine recreation with Ur Mom's House!

Kelly, you are my role model. Also, you have a really good meditation voice. If you were to make a meditation guided video I would watch on repeat no cap.

Kelly playing w the fabric of the blanket for like The whole podcast is so funnyyyy

no way I'm JUST like kelly with how he thinks about videos.... like when i hear songs i'm like damn this would be good in a video, or when I go somewhere I'm like oh this would be a good clip or have a random idea for a movie.

I love how most of the comments are about Anne Marie

best podcast according to me

communication styles (ur mom's house edition) Kelly: Expressive Annemarie: Driver Elliot: Analytical Ashley: Amiable

can't wait to enjoy it on Apple podcast!!!!!

I knew KELLY and Luke from BRAILLE. Their vids are sick so I stuck around. Then life of luke and kelly happened sad with the split of the channel but still supporting Luke and Kelly together or separately!

i love every single one of you guys, i looks up to you guys

i would love to hear a podcast episode on being asian american! since 3 of you are half asian, it would be interesting to hear about ur experiences compared to elliot's

Best Podcast 👀🤷🏾‍♂️

hands down to the best content house on earthh

Been waiting all weekend for the podcast 😂

Annemarie is a great interviewer

Excited to find out if the thumbnails for the episodes with Annemarie's and Ashley's origin stories will also consist of them staring into the camera like they're slightly creepy and insane

The Do What Excites origin story 🥺

i'm a middle child too, and it's true that we are somehow forgotten

love this pod

Ashley let yo man speak for himself 🤣🤣

ive been following kelly since 2018ish, Crazy to how much kelly has grown

thank you so much for this amazing open and inspiring video i find i super valuable , i whana keep on doing what excites

kelly's story is so inspiring

ik i’m just a 13 y.o but when an older i really hope i have kelly’s mindset. kobe has also been one of my role models in life so far since i’ve played basketball most my life . and i really do see that kelly has the mamba mentality.

I love when Kelly calls Luke his best friend

I LOVE YOU GUYS 😭❤️

Would be cool if Kelly did a video on how he visualizes his videos and what scenes he sees before he writes it down like how Ashley was mentioning he saw a car passing by and thought it would make a nice mask. Agreed in terms of interruption for the podcast. This is ok if you were having a normal conversation but podcast listeners will bring pitchforks if one more person is interrupted LOL maybe wear headphones too bc the volume is really inconsistent here :(

Kelly Wakasa, you are an inspiration my guy. Keep doing what you are doing :)

BAY AREA BOI. It's crazy to me that you also think of life like a soccer field. I used to take my rage out on the field too through college. Honestly anyone with anger issues should play soccer lol. Another great episode 👏🏽

46:38 its so interesting! @Kelly you are the first person in whole world that said what i feel when i see things, i love making photos and since last year start doing videos and im so inprest that there is someone who also looking at situations like you said, im happy i found you on youtube cuz it make me just see in to the future with just biger perspective that there is more only i have to start creating, thanks for the chance to get to know your story more 🙏🏼🔥

This was so interesting!

I'm gonna have to search for that 10 minutes meditation with yellow thumbnail that ends with I love you 🔥🔥
