Well, everybody.
I am back.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Welcome to season 4 of OMKalen.
Now to be honest, I've missed doing this.
It's been three months since our season 3 finale
and for our premiere episode of season 4,
I thought I'd update y'all on what's been going on with me
these past few months, OK?
Now first off, I'm sure you've noticed my new set.
Ain't it nice?
Well, I moved into a new apartment this summer
and we built this set you see right here in my loft.
OK, so you are still in my home, I
ain't went nowhere, I promise, OK?
Now, fun fact, I've moved five times since I've been in LA.
And that was January of 2018, so that means on average
I've lived in each space for six months.
Now, do I think I'll stay here longer than that?
Yes.
But we'll do another check in six months from now
and see where we're at.
Who knows.
All right, now I'm not going to lie, this summer was
a little rough, baby.
Let me sum it up for you like this--
hey Kalen, how was your summer?
Trash.
Absolutely trash.
But that's OK, because I am still what?
Blessed, and highly favored.
Won't he do it?
Will he won't?
Okay.
Now if you saw my reintroduction video,
I made a statement that I feel as though people don't really
know me.
So, let me give you the tea on my summer.
First and foremost, I had the absolute pleasure
of being on Ellen yesterday with tWitch as the guest host.
And what's great is tWitch and I have always been friends.
I mean, anytime I'm on the show is a good time.
But now that I've grown and have a new energy about me,
it felt even better, and I looked good,
if I do say so myself, OK?
Period.
Now the next thing I want to discuss
is something that I never talk about--
dating.
[ROMANTIC MUSIC]
So, I decided to start dating at the beginning of the pandemic.
And let me tell y'all, dating has never been my forte.
Mainly because I'm a Capricorn, so I overthink,
and I'm not really good at going with the flow.
So I don't date as an experiment, OK?
I date to marry.
Nothing less, nothing more.
Now, with this recent situation, I
can honestly say I believe that I met the right person for me,
just at the wrong time.
But in the words of the elusive chanteuse, Mariah Carey,
if they should return to me, we truly were meant to be.
But to sum it all up, I'm not emotionally built
for this [MUTED].
Now, onto more trivial things.
I told y'all I got a guitar.
[STRUMMING GUITAR]
Rock on!
Haven't touched it since.
I recently bought a cello.
[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Haven't touched it since.
And I've started reading.
I've bought five books and I've read all of them--
if you're only counting the titles.
All in all, pretty productive, right?
And lucky for us, we're still currently
in the thick of COVID.
At the beginning I was like this--
[SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYING]
And now, I'm like this--
[SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYING]
OK.
But in all seriousness, in these past few months,
I've taken the time to disconnect, self-reflect,
and recharge.
And in turn, it's helped re-spark my creativity, which
led to the launch of my new YouTube channel, Personally
Kalen, and my upcoming podcast, I'm Your Biggest Fan.
And that's all you're getting in this new season.
You're going to get the very real and candid and grounded
Kalen.
You're going to become my best friends,
and my hope is that OMKalen will be your Saturday
morning one stop shop to be entertained and enlightened.
We are going to go on adventures,
talk about some real stuff, and just have
one big old grand time.
But before I go, keep in mind that I'm an artist
and I'm sensitive about my ish.
So, before y'all start in the comments, don't worry--
we'll talk about food every now and then--
but I've got more tricks up my sleeve.
That's why I got two degrees.
But anyway.
Happy SaturKay, y'all.
I'm Kalen Allen, and I'm just happy to be here.
