The Story So Far
— 62 days in. He still doesn't know.
Dad holding his grandson for the first time — Property of Grandpa shirt
Grandpa mode activated. He still has no idea. ❤️

It started on Day 1 with zero followers and a simple idea: film Dad doing what he does — fixing, building, grilling, being a total goofball — and make him internet famous without telling him.

He's been seen shaving drywall, rubbing his bald head for good luck, glowing in the light of a sunset, doing chores with his grandson, and giving side-eye to cameras he thinks are pointed elsewhere. The internet has decided: he's a legend.

Fans have already made Dad stickers with QR codes — spreading the word IRL. Every piece of merch you wear does the same thing. Every wear is a billboard. Help us get to 100k before he notices.
