Come In, We're Open With Austin Langely Ep.14 (Trending In China & Shattering Expectations With Kellan)

<p>This show features open and honest conversations with host, Austin Langley. This week on the podcast we have child golf prodigy/standup comedian/Chinese Rockstar, Kellan Duffy. Identifying as "emotionally dumb", Kellan struggles with expressing himself and managing expectations within relationships until things boil up and he disassociates. Kellan believes "the key" to his mental issues stem from coming from a family of star athletes and specifically a father with achievements like playing in a high-level baseball team (until he went into a coma while crabbing), and teaching golf lessons to Snoop Dogg after cutting off his toe with a lawn mower (and also a 2nd coma). After talking about how drug use and Kellen did not mix well, a discussion about writing for music vs. comedy leads to a wild conversion about Kellan's 6-week tour in China with a rock band full of strangers. Moose Light Kingdom played in front of 1000's of screaming Chinese fans and this led to Kellan falling in love everyone that showed him admiration and later dealing with a shattering amount of perspective after returning home from his experience of being a trend in China. Austin gets inspired by this insane story and quickly puts out the idea to start up a band himself. Supposedly there is a national park in China now dedicated to Moose Light Kingdom and although Kellan feels like he over shares, this entire story is new to Austin, and it is clear Austin was not expecting to hear Kellan share his experience. Guests on the show are encouraged to be genuine, while no subject is off the table. It is a judgment free space to talk about those subjects that aren't normally discussed in everyday life. Guests open up about those stories and personal experiences that maybe they haven't shared before or would like to get off their chest. The goal is to be unrestricted and transparent.</p>
