    • Trivia
      Attended Millburn High School in Millburn, New Jersey, his time there overlapping with Anne Hathaway's. Their shared alma mater is the source of a running gag on The Flop House podcast, which Kalan co-hosts. When Hathaway is mentioned, another host will remark upon Kalan's (fictional) long friendship with the actress. Kalan then corrects the (feigned) misapprehension.
