an iconic crossover. some of the best storytellers and creatives on the platform.

hahaha loved this dude, ur welcome anytime at ur mom’s house :)

I love the effort you put into making friends. It's easy to go into a hole and stop trying as an adult with no traditional job.

My favorite creators coming together right here. Fire video man, both you and Kelly's videos have massively improved my storytelling

"don't get lost at looking what everyone has, your own brilliant adventures are waiting for you" love this

Annemarie is a lowkey underrated genius influencer…the way she talk is just PERFECT i hope she get more attention in this industry I LOVE LOVE LOVE HER

If Annemarie is reading this, I love your interview in this video. You have a lot of knowledge and perspective to share. 🙂

"I can never have what they have, and that's fine" I think that speaks magnitude more than just how it's said. Makes things much more exciting, cherishable, and memorable.

By far, this one in addition to the "asking strangers to eat" one are DEFINITELY on the top of my favs list. Keep these spontaneous clips coming, we stan !

This was so sweet & much needed🥺

One thing I’ve learned this year is life’s better when you put yourself out there. Be genuine and open with others because it will open so many doors for you in your relationships. Class act video as always👍🏼 all love ❤️

THIS STORYTELLING IS TOO GOOD, everything in this video is so honest and authentic. Having the right mindset is difficult but acknowledging it is a start, so thank you for the reminder:> "The truth is, I'll never have what they have. Don't get lost looking at what everyone else has. Your own brilliant adventure and experiences are waiting for you."

“Don’t get lost looking at what everyone else has”. Moving words which we all need to hear sometimes. Love it, Nathaniel!

Making friends as an adult is so difficult and being in the age of social media it's so easy to compare our lives to everyone else's. I know it's just highlights of peoples days but I still want what they have lol 😭✨

This was so interesting, it’s like a creation of the very thing many of us wonder “I wish I had their life” when seeing people online. Thank you for making this.

"Dont get lost in what everyone else has." That really struck me. Coming from a place where I'm starting off as a creator oftentimes I'm comparing to be like someone I want to be. But instead, trying to show you're genuine self to your audience is I think the hardest part. Thanks for this video! Very well made and honestly definitely changed perspective for me. Just subbed (:

So powerfully and authentically expressed. I’m so glad that your channel exists and captures these kinds of truths, and although I don’t know them, appreciate the creators here as well. As a family doctor, literally my day job has been to listen to people’s lives. No matter how successful or not someone seems, and no matter how confident or happy, people have a depth about them in their daily lives that strangers and not-so-close friends will never usually see. But there’s nothing particularly special about what I ask people, I think. Medical school isn’t necessary for the kinds of questions that reveal what someone is truly thinking. So fortunately, available to anyone at any time is the ability to ask others open-ended questions that don’t have single word answers. And then listening - really focusing and listening - you’ll hear the reverberations of everything that happened to them and the chimes of everything they care about. Almost always, the sound you’ll get from listening is a small echo of yourself, even if the person is completely different from you. I think that knowledge makes things less lonely.

meeting people online is a very two edged sword to me. On one hand it is easier than ever to meet new people, on the other hand that means there is no need to commit to one person and its all very superficial. I prefer meeting people in real life.

YES to this entire video, from talking about addressing privilege, to being vulnerable about feeling jealously towards what other people have created within their own lives and then how you ended with reminding yourself that you have your own unique life and destiny to fulfill. This video shows why you're one of my favourite content creators and film makers. I especially appreciate it because the youth need to hear this, thank you Nathaniel!

wow. before i type this, I want to make it clear that I appreciate all the creator's in ur mom's house and watch their content pretty regularly- BUT i cannot tell you how many times I've unsubscribed from Kelly in particular LOL. and it's nothing against him at ALL, I just realized that sometimes I would end up feeling bad about myself and my life after watching his videos. this video gave me a whole new perspective on that. Instead of thinking, "oh wow my life is so boring compared to his- what am i doing with my life?", I'll remember that a) he's worked hard to get where he is and b) he's simply an amazing storyteller and entertainer. in fact, i think this a good mindset to adopt when watching any and all internet creators in general. anyway, I loved all their perspectives on privilege and happiness+internet. Elliot's perspective on being a creator vs. a consumer also really hit home. Damn, Nathaniel- you really hit the mark with this one.

This documentary was really authentic and I feel like it shows the whole picture of how the internet shapes our lives. I was not really expecting that though, rather a love story due to both the title and the thumbnail. These "false expectations" actually illustrate a lot of the things sorrounding the topic of the video. If you had given the video a more straigthforward title and thumbnail, a lot of people might not have clicked. Having this "mistery" sorrounding the title going along with the thumbnail of course gives you a higher click rate... It is the way to do it if you want to play the game I guess, but it comes to show the "fakeness" of the internet and that we should take it with a pinch of salt. The problem with social media is that it is packed with fear based marketing, showing you "what you will never be" unless you buy XXXX product. If you are feeling vulnerable or you are too young to understand, it can really harm you. It has made it even worse for toxic environments, like anorexia promoting communities or similar... But on the other hand, the internet and social media can help you connect with other people and get inspired by others. So I think it is a great thing if consumed responsibly, which is not always easy.

This was such a cute and refreshing video! love the discussion about privilege. Especially hearing her bring up her parents and how they worked to get her to have an easier life. Puts a lot in perspective. I fee like it always falls back to just being mindful and just balance. People shouldn't feel guilt for what they were given but at the same time being mindful that not everyone has it like that so be a lil sensitive in certain situations. idk I really appreciate the insight and the healthy talk on how to have a better relationship with the internet. Im starting to learn that creating more on the internet is much more nourishing than consuming a whole lot. So hearing that was a nice confirmation. Thank u Nathanial for this video

This is probably the most unexpected collaboration, which i'm so happy for this 😭❤️

the crossover i didn’t know i needed 😭❤️

Just recently started watching Ashley and can't deny the fact that we needed this collab so bad but we didn't know.

Your editing and storytelling is so freaking good dude. I really see myself adopting and being inspired by your style and hopefully soon will post more and be able to tell more of my story like you. Keep at it bro, and thank you ❤🙌

This is great. subscribed!

I re-read Homo Sapiens, the book by Yuval Harari. At the end, he talks about happiness and he raises some interesting points of view. First, happiness is just the effect of a bunch of neurotransmitters that react to certain situations. In comparison to thousands or million years ago, we generally probably aren’t more happy humans. The level of happiness is bounded in a preset scale. A hunter-gatherer, that kills a mammoth, which can provide months of food to the tribe, chemically responds the same way as we humans react on eating an ice-cream. A farmer that builds his first clay house receives the same dopamine rush as we humans buy the next big television. Maybe you can even suggest that modern humans, especially at this very moment, are less happy, because they get an overload of information, sugar-rushes. And there is a constant stream of media that makes us rushed and very insecure. The fact that we get more and more dopamine shots, doesn’t make us happier. It makes us more addicted and burnt out than ever I guess.

I have a love/hate relationship with the internet. On one hand, it's amazing to have all the information of the world at your fingertips. The fact that I can learn a language, learn any skill or craft, communicate with people from all around the world, share my own art, videos, and creations with everyone... It's all amazing. But at the same time, I do miss that feeling I used to have when I didn't have the internet, or a phone, or a computer. It was just me and my creativity. Time went by more slowly, and I didn't have the same overwhelming anxiety and stress that inevitably comes from the internet, in forms of comparison or seeing these ideas of "a perfect life". I try to use the internet as a tool. To learn and to educate myself (and of course to enjoy and be entertained), but I also am trying to get to a point where I can step back and go without always feeling the need to be connected, because a lot of times it ends up being the opposite of connection. I definitely think that the internet has changed me and made me a better person in a lot of ways, and also the opposite can be said. I struggle with it every day, but I'm trying to get to a better point of balance. ❤️

Your filmmaking is so beautiful! You're a huge inspiration to so many creators out there

this was such a heartwarming video with brilliant takeaways about privilege, the realities of content creation, and how to perceive content/content creators. things can be created for entertainment and metrics but at the top level, the things people post can really affect the psyche of the generation watching them. as is any form of entertainment. i watch ur mom's house every week and its so nice to see this side of them as well, and to realize they have a sense of self-awareness which i hope they retain throughout their successes

I've definitely been feeling this over the past few days after watching a lot of different vlog channels. I think those types of videos can help keep me inspired to make the most out of this life, just as long as I don't compare myself too hard and remember they're just highlight reels.

The way I recognized Annemarie from the thumbnail just made me more excited to watch. This is literally like my worlds colliding in one video 💗

This is such a cool video! It came up on my recommended to me and I feel its the MOST transparent and honest youtube video -- and reflects a thought I feel many people have but don't know how to communicate. You did a BEAUTIFUL job of communicating the duality of social media and the inside look into the realities of our current digital age. Hope to see more videos like this!

Good stuff here. Once again giving us a meaningful takeaway through well crafted storytelling. I enjoy your content because it feels wholesome and not vapid or contrived. I've wanted to start a channel based on holistic wellness for several years but haven't taken the leap primarily due to financial barriers like affording good equipment and editing software, time commitments like holding a fulltime job to pay bills etc. I know if I want to do it, I have to just start somewhere but coming from a very low-income background has been a consistent obstacle to following my passions. This video was kind of validating. I won't let it stop me, I will always keep working on my dreams...but I shouldn't beat myself up for the timing or not having resources. Having creators to watch like yourself helps keep me focused on creating content that is helpful and meaningful, but also grounding myself in daily life, my relationships, and what feeds my soul. Much love ❤️

Annemarie could talk for 3 hours straight and I'd still watch

I love seeing two channels I’ve really enjoyed over the past two years come together seeing you and Kelly was a cool perspective. Both of you have been awesome inspirations for me

Thank you Nathaniel for this beautiful little film. You are talking about something, that I guess a lot of us are feeling right now, the loneliness, feeling stuck in life and trying to find out what's wrong with us by watching other people who seem to have it all. And there already are videos out there about the danger in watching instead of living. But your way to connect to others through your videos is so special, because you take us with you on your journey instead of just letting us watch. I just feel you have found a special language and part of that is your effort to be as honest and vunerable as possible. I always take a piece of good advice from your work, but never feel pressured to change myself or feel like something is wrong with me. Instead I feel understood. Thank you ❤

This series on happiness is amazing

I’ve been watching your videos for a long time, and this video couldn’t have come at a better time. As a consumer, I’ve been struggling with a lot of the issues you laid out. We should definitely treat the internet as a tool which requires discipline. Love your videos man!

Loved this on Nathaniel. Really made me stop and think about what I want to build for myself and what I want to share and create on the internet. Ps. As a complete bystander I'm super proud of you for going this outside of a comfort zone to make the trip and reach out to these guys. So cool that you made this happen.

Omg yes! I love watching Annemarie, never thought two random KZfaqrs I watch would be in a video together

Why did this kinda change my perspective of the internet in general. This is so moving, even disturbing. But very impactful nonetheless. Amazing work here, Nathaniel!

"La verdad es que nunca tendré lo que tienen. No puedo vivir la vida de otros, y esta bien" eres asombroso Nathaniel, que buena conclusión y gracias de nuevo por compartir tus pensamientos, I love it :)

This really does counter the image of your "perfect life" as it can be seen from the internet. The transparency about that you also look at other people's lives and want what they have. Really good video!

Ugh I’m so happy I was subscribed to Ashley cuz then I got introduced to ur moms house plus all new creators I acc want to spend my time watching.. all these ‘crossovers’ have introduced me to such awesome creators n now ur one of them !! So much food for thought in this one keep it up ❤️

i've been following you and everyone from ur mom's house for so long and seeing you all together makes me so happy :))) loved this video!

Thanks for this video. It's really nice to watch you be vulnerable about these topics. Not to mention how brave it is of you to do in front of such a massive audience. Feels like a break from constant comparison and an opportunity to relate to everyday struggles.

Such a great storyteller. I had the similar feelings recent days. If I stand at the consumer perspective. I gotta know I have my own path to go. And appreciated every content creator’s effort. Make us closer. Sometimes.

For years I've been inspired by your videos, grinding away so that one day I could have the type of life you live. Traveling the world, meeting new friends in other countries and spending each day to the fullest. It's just wild seeing someone want something that I'm trying to get away from. For me I have that friends styled life. Hanging out with roommates, my close friends are always nearby my brother and parents always ready to sit down and talk about games and tv shows. Now here I am about to move across the country and it's got me thinking again. Do I want this adventure?

It's interesting to hear and see that these KZfaqrs have the same thoughts about our relationship with the internet! Super insightful, Nathaniel! Keep it coming please...

I've always love the content you put out but recently these happiness series have been amazing. I am struggling on this area in my life making new friends as an adult is really hard especially find the right ones who share your passion and mindset. I love how you hit all these different points and acknowledge living this type of lifestyle in a privilege in some ways. Again I love what you've been putting out!!

this is beautiful! a mirror to ourselves shows all things, even the best parts of who we are. thank you good sir, as always

This is amazing, when I was annemarie in the thumbnail I had such an overwhelming feeling of two worlds colliding. Love all of you guys!

the pure joy that comes from two of my favorite things coming together!

These are the typa collabs I love seeing. Two awesome youtubers. Great personalities. THANK YOU✨

This was great. I really think the fact that they live together and have in-person interactions built into their daily lives is what keeps them more tethered to reality and thus authentic and interesting, relative to a lot of solo KZfaqrs who don’t have that community to ground them and challenge them to grow. (Like Ashley said, it’s important to have real human interactions!) They’ve all talked about how lonely being a KZfaqr can be, and they seem to thrive in their communal situation even tho they’re quite different personalities.

omg thank u for making this video!! i just finished watching Ashley and Kelly's second date video alone in my room, thinking how much i want that kinda life, and a romantic partner. But then ur video immediately reminded me of my life and my own unique path. thank uuuu!! it makes me less lonely

I never expected you to meet ur mom's house, that's crazy! So happy to see my fav KZfaqrs interacting with each other. Great collab!

Your videos always put me in such a good mood afterward. They always have me think outside the box about how I view things, and it really makes me appreciate things about myself through this self-reflecting aurora your videos always give off. :)

You’re just so talented- the editing skills. I’m inspired! ❤️

This was really well made. Amazing production and story telling. Good Job

Really loved everyone's perspective about the internet life. I feel we definitely need to deal with it well because the internet will only grow and evolve. amazing video. 😊✌✅

Beautifully done Nathaniel! These just keep getting better and better. Thank you!

I have been watching them for a while, but love that you gave a outside perspective. I think it is really important to talk about this stuff as the majority of people on social media are consumers instead of creators.

ur mom’s house vlogs is what i look forward to every wednesday when they all upload at the same time 💜

I can't believe the impact this content creator house is going to have

I appreciated hearing about them, but am really drawn to your unique, creative style/content and couldnt agree more that everyone has their own journey. Keep doing you!

This is the best video I've ever watched from you. I watch their whole house on KZfaq, and it's great to hear them talk about their priviledge. I've never even thought of mine like this before. I love it.

This video was absolutely amazing but it was total clickbait, Nathan. Haha! But thank you for these videos, I love watching your experiences and the knowledge you share

Truly meaningful and entertaining work here. The discussion on privilege is a big insecurity for many and it’s refreshing to hear my favourite creators talk about it. We should acknowledge our privilege but not be so paralysed to not use it for the better at all

Really great video! This brings up very interesting points that I don't hear very often about privilege being seen as sucess. The whole point of working hard is so you can create a better life for those who come after you. Also, if you are an aspiring creator and feel like you can't do what others are doing, DON'T! We should all focus on our own experiences and what we can all bring to the table as individuals from all different places and walks of life. Don't compare yourself to others because there is only one of YOU. Tell YOUR story

Great video. I've watched you and this group a lot and the way you describe everything and reshape it to say hey, let's not get carried away in what others have. The shift then gets put on what we DO have and that makes life beautiful.

Annemarie is so wise. She's gonna go far

No way man, this is like my favorite internet crossover ever. What a day for me 😭😭❤️❤️

this video was beyond beautiful! you are a wonderful storyteller filled with such valuable knowledge! loved how you documented these experiences with the internet so well!

So crazy how the algorithm works. It started recommending me your videos as well as Kelly around the same time a year 1/2 or so ago and now youre making a video. Some of my favorite creators in one place !

Can’t believe it! I Ashley and the whole group ♥️

I really love Annemarie! She’s so pretty and she speaks in an intelligent manner. She deserves more subscribers tbh

I totally watch these guys on their separate genres and like you said like the show friends, but, to explain the joint conversation about life around social media you just freaking opened my mind, no wonder you're well known, thanks for sharing. Subscribed

There are so so many categories of information on the internet that sometimes we keep scrolling and just miss out on what's important without even realising. Thank you, Nathaniel, this message got to me right when needed❤️

I've actually noticed recently my youtube taste has changed more towards more chill "boring" content. I've been really enjoying vlogs that are mostly quiet, calm. Ofc they are filtered lives to make videos that focus on perfect aesthetics rather than entertainment. I wonder if that's more 'filtered' than the typical prank or crazy stunt video? Love that your videos make me think 🤔

this crossover with ur mom house is unreal

Nathaniel, this was amazing. I love every single person at “ur mom’s house” and the narrative you portrayed. Beyond a great video!

I would never heard about you unless @AnnemarieChase announced in her IG Story about your vlog. Amazing interview with Annemarie, Kelly and Elliot and what I like about this vlog is your honesty, knowledge and most of all great storytelling.

im speechless with how good of a content creator you are from storytelling, the meaning, editing, and so on. so perffff

Would love you to meet Peter McKinnon and make a collab with him,guy is a whole different vibe

omg it feels like my worlds are colliding!! love this nathan

Amazing message! Great way connecting the beginning with consuming life of others with how you shouldn’t live one others life.

I loved what you did in this video, it bring a whole new side to their house and creators in general. Amazing work!

Wow .. from the thumbnail, I almost thought for a second, he’s introducing us to his new girlfriend. 😆

loved these 💎📝: 11:00 “social media is a tool that requires discipline, if you don’t gave discipline you can get lost in the abundance” - 13:00 “your own brilliant adventures and experiences are waiting for you”

Your content and the script has so much quality 🔥 Great job Nat!

This was an awesome crossover! I first started with Elliot choys internship videos about 4-5 years ago. Then found your channel Nathaniel about 3 years ago. And it’s just a lot. I wish I could meet all of you and have y’all as friends. Y’all will always have my support!!

Nathaniel- "Why I'm never going back to the U.S." Also Nathaniel- "I'm at New York lol

From the title i thought you got a girlfriend:’D

It's crazy that your videos are still getting better and better. It reminded me of a Terence McKenna quote: "The world is in a state of perfection moving toward a state of higher perfection" 🙏🏽🕉️♥️

This is so good, the editing, the story telling, great job.

I audibly said “aw” when I saw the title and thumbnail. So happy to see a new video!
