Yes.
Hey, Kalen.
Hello.
OK, so tell me how this started.
Is Are you like a
huge cooking fan?
Or what made you start watching
them and then critiquing 'em?
OK.
So, the way that the first video
started-- so I was literally,
like, on my way to work.
And so I sat there and I was
scrolling through my Facebook
feed and I was like, oh,
this video's kind of funny.
And then I watched
and I was like,
you know what, I should
make a reaction video
and post it for my friends.
So I put my little phone
up and I pressed play
and I pressed record.
I edited it.
I published it.
And then, when I went
to sleep that night,
it had maybe like
20 likes on it.
Then I woke up the
next morning, I
had like 6,000
followers on my Twitter.
Now listen, I'm a
little boy from Kansas,
so that don't
happen all the time.
so that was iconic for me.
So that's when you knew
you were on to something.
Yeah.
All right.
So there's another video that
I saw that I want to show.
Let's take a look at this one
that you're also critiquing.
What the hell is this?
Oh!
Oh!
Why y'all putting all
them pickles on there?
Ooh, that's a fancy compartment.
Oh no.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh!
Y'all better not--
oh, this is nasty!
Uh uh.
Watch y'all doing
with them hot dogs?
Child, whoever eats this, I
know your breath is funky.
[APPLAUSE]
So you watch these
things-- first of all,
I've never seen food
like that in my life.
I don't where you find these
videos of food like that.
But you're-- so you're
an honor student.
Where do you go to college?
I go to Temple University.
OK.
And you have how many jobs?
I have five jobs.
You go to college and
you have five jobs?
What are they?
OK.
So, I do all this because
I want to make sure
that my mother doesn't have
to worry about me financially.
I try to be independent.
So my first job is, I'm a front
desk worker for the residence
halls.
Second job is, I'm an Amazon
Prime student brand ambassador.
Also I do marketing for the
theater and film department.
And then the fourth job--
child, what is that?
Uh.
Lord, I done forgot that.
You do something for
some medical thing.
Yes.
Well that's the fifth one.
OK.
So for that I'm a student
standardized patient
for the University
of Pennsylvania
in their medical school.
Oh.
Isn't that clever.
Yeah.
And that's fun,
because you get to act
and you're helping
these medical students.
So I'm worried about
your fourth job
that you're not showing up to.
[LAUGHTER]
Maybe you haven't been
there for a while,
because how do you forget a job?
Because there's so many.
I know.
And I do them all.
Oh, I remember it now!
OK.
I remember.
What do you do?
I am a co-host for Temple Talk,
which is the show on campus.
You forgot that you're a
co-host on a talk show?
Umm hmm.
Wow.
All right.
And do you cook yourself?
Yes I do.
Actually I a very
mean peach cobbler.
People actually pay me to
make these peach cobblers
during the holidays.
Really?
Yes.
And I'm more of a homestyle
traditional kind of cook.
I don't like adding
extra seasoning.
I don't like being
all extra with stuff.
Right.
But one thing I
don't understand is
why people just put
salt and pepper on stuff
and just call it a day.
That's not seasoning food.
No.
No.
It's not.
It's not.
No.
But that's got nothing
to do with peach cobbler.
You right.
OK.
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
Well, first of all, I
think you're hilarious.
And when I saw that video, I
said, I want to meet this guy.
And then the more
we thought about it,
and we started
talking about it, we
want to make a deal with you
so you actually have a platform
and help you make these videos.
And so we want you to
help put these things out?
Oh, stop playing with me, Ellen!
All right.
Do we have a deal?
Yes, we have a deal!
All right.
We have a deal.
We're going to do this.
Yay!
All right.
