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!
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.
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.
