Hey, everybody, it's Kalen Allen,
and today is very special because I'm going
to do a Kalen Reacts to who?
Kalen Allen.
OK, so this video is so funny.
Sometimes we would do clips with people
that had been on the show.
So we would wait after the show to film
with whoever the guest was.
And this specific instance was Marshmello and Kane Brown.
Yes.
I was about to say Danity Kane.
What the hell?
Right?
What in the world?
So this one was Marshmello and Kane Brown.
And Marshmello was releasing his own line of marshmallows.
So they were like, ooh, can we do
something centered around that?
So we brought this stovetop that I said,
we should probably get a better stovetop than this
because it was very finicky.
And so we only had like 15 minutes to shoot with them.
Like, these are people-- they got to go,
you know?
And I think, at this point, Marshmello was in Vegas,
doing a residency.
And so they both come.
And let's see how this turned out.
Hey, everybody--
OK.
--this is me, Kalen Allen, and I'm here today--
Look at Marshmello with his marshmallow head on.
I still don't know what he looks like.
And he don't talk.
Now, Marshmello--
He did talk to me after this, though.
--you have a YouTube channel about food.
OK.
And coincidentally, I do too.
And today--
We got the marshmallows set up.
--we're going to make Rice Krispie treats--
There's the introduction.
--which, I understand, is your recipe, correct?
It was Marshmello's recipe to make marshmallows, right?
That's not what I made.
I made s'mores.
I believe, first, we need to melt the butter.
Is that right?
OK, here we go.
We need to melt the butter.
So we got this on.
And is this enough butter?
The stove is on.
OK, good.
Here we go.
We're going to
oh, Jesus.
That's-- ooh, it's already frying.
It starts sizzling.
This got hot real quick.
So it's working.
I just turned this thing on.
OK.
There we go.
Now, do I need to spread this out?
OK.
How are you-- you about to be a daddy, right?
Oh, yeah, Kane Brown was about to have a kid.
- --for your child.
OK.
I told him he could make it for his kid.
So we got the butter.
Now what do I need to do?
Marshmallows?
OK.
OK, we need to cut these marshmallows,
because we can't put them in there whole.
The marshmallows was too big.
So we start cutting the marshmallows.
Now, these are your brand of marshmallows.
See, you--
Marshmello's brand of marshmallows.
Look at them.
And they're filled with stuff.
Uh-huh, they're filled with chocolate.
Now, I'm going to toss that in there.
Right?
Am I doing this right?
OK, good.
Boom, boom, boom.
I toss the marshmallows in there.
It's been a while since I made Rice Krispie treats.
Oh, we's making Rice Krispie treats?
I've only made ramen noodles.
OK, OK.
What about you?
Well, yeah, because you-- that's your recipe.
So yeah, of course you done made it.
How long we got to keep the marshmallows in here?
OK.
Do you know?
OK.
Could you stir so it don't burn?
Yeah, watch out for your head, though,
because I don't want you to get burnt either.
Good, good, good.
Yeah, mix that on up.
Ooh, look.
So he mixing it up.
You doing OK over here?
I'm trying.
So far, so good.
Keep getting them stuck on there.
That's OK.
Do you cook usually?
No.
Now I'm talking to Kane Brown.
Well, there's a first time for everything.
Ooh, I threw that one.
That missed target.
OK.
Good, good, good.
And then Kane Brown is giving me his marshmallows to cut.
And I'm trying to figure out how
I keep getting extra marshmallows, because I thought
I put them all in there.
OK, good.
This thing still on?
Because these marshmallows sure ain't melting.
OK, the marshmallows are not melting.
Yeah, but you probably got an expensive stovetop.
Yep.
I got a budget over here.
I'm talking about the budget.
Let me turn this up a little bit.
Excuse me.
I turned it up.
It stops working.
It looks good.
Does it?
[LAUGHS] The marshmallow's not melting.
It would look better if it was melting.
[LAUGHS]
Damn, we real broke over here, y'all.
I'm talking about we broke.
That's a struggle, [? bitch. ?]
[LAUGHS] Nobody knows what to do.
This is a real struggle.
Everybody's just looking at it.
Good god almighty.
Look at Kane Brown.
This thing ain't melting.
Stirring, stirring.
The chocolate melted.
Oh, OK, there we go.
All we have us chocolate melting.
It's getting a little gooey now.
It's still not working.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Marshmello's, like, right here, and I can hear him laughing.
OK, here we go.
Throw this up in here.
Yeah, be careful.
But it's still not melting.
It's just chunks of marshmallow.
[LAUGHS] Look at it.
What the hell?
Everybody can't keep it together.
We've got like 20 people standing.
--stir this too.
Woo, this is some--
[LAUGHTER]
I spilling the damn Rice Krispies.
Wonderful.
How delectable does that look?
It looks--
--crazy.
--this pan, right?
It looks a mess.
I guess I should probably spray it.
Shake, shake shake.
At this point, I was like, abort.
Abort mission--
There.
That's beautiful.
--because there was nothing to fix it.
OK.
So now I'm just making crap.
We just got loose Rice Krispies--
Scrumptially delicious.
The marshmallow not--
And now we're going to let this set.
So we let it set.
And we're going to have Rice Krispie treats.
Ain’t got no Rice Krispies treats.
“Woila!”
But luckily, we have some pre-prepped.
Look at us.
We're chefs.
A mess.
Would you like one?
Sure.
Why not?
I made them myself.
A mess.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He can't eat.
That's OK.
[CRUNCH]
Pretty good.
That's great.
Yeah.
Well, that was--
Those were great.
--Scrumdiddlyumptious.
Not made by me.
I want to thank Marshmello and Kane Brown for joining me.
Oh, my gosh
And be sure to check out their new song, "One Thing Right."
Bye bye, now.
Chaos.
[BEEP]
Chaos.
Oh, oh, that's the swap out of the mess to the good stuff.
“Woila!”
[LAUGHS]
Look at us.
Also, why did I say woila?
It's voila.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So as you can see, anything can go wrong.
Anything can go wrong.
Luckily, I am very good at figuring it out on the spot.
Other people would probably just have a meltdown
and just start going to hyper mode, and just discombobulated.
Luckily, I was like, well, we just going
to have to make some comedy out of this and make
do with what we got, because this burner's not working.
Luckily, after this, we got rid of that burner--
This thing still on?
Because these marshmallows sure aren't melting.
Did they melt quicker when you did them?
Yeah, but you probably got an expensive stovetop.
We got a budget over here.
--and got a better burner.
And we never ran it to that situation again.
So after we finished taping, Marshmello, very secretly,
in my ear, because he not supposed to be talking,
was like, that was hilarious.
And I was like, thank you.
And mind you, I still haven't ever
seen what the man looks like.
I'm talking to a marshmallow head.
I'm like, OK, thank you.
Yeah, sorry about that.
And then Kane Brown is just still finding it so hilarious.
And I think what was also funny is--
because this was backstage.
So it's like 20 people standing there.
And everybody is cracking up, laughing.
They think this is the funniest thing in the world.
And I'm sitting here panicking, like, what do we do?
This is not working.
I have yet to see Marshmello and Kane Brown since this,
but I'm sure they probably remember this.
I mean, it's pretty unforgettable.
Luckily, I have made Rice Krispies treats since then,
and I'm actually very good at it.
So, yeah, but at my house, I got a stove that works.
So this video, I haven't seen since we released it.
There's so many videos that--
but I am able to, even though I haven't seen it,
I'm able to pinpoint my favorites.
So watching it back, yes, it's definitely funny.
I think it's also because, when I'm watching it,
I'm not watching it just to see what
the content is, I'm thinking about what
it was like experiencing it.
I'm thinking about what was going on in my mind,
and what I was saying, and what I was trying to figure out,
and what was going through my head.
Oh, my goodness.
That was probably one of my favorite shoots, definitely.
Mind you, we had 15 minutes.
And we got them out of there because what were we
going to do about it?
