Old Man Steve recently did an interview with TODAY where he revealed the real reason he makes TikTok videos and other online content isn’t really to become famous. āI’ve always been a jokester, so I guess it’s just me. Besides, I hope it makes people smile or laugh and maybe have a better day,ā
Steve’s mission to make people laugh and have a better day seems to be working, especially with teens on TikTok. Great job steve!
