In an interview with Shattered Magazine, Kenney spoke about growing up with his father after his parents’ divorce. “He got custody of us, but he didn’t really want us,” Rob said. “I think he was kind of done by that time.”

When Kenney became a dad himself, he focused on raising good adults. “I never wanted to be wealthy. I never wanted to be necessarily successful. My goal in life was to raise good adults — not good children but good adults — because I had a fractured childhood,” he told Shattered Magazine.

With his kids all grown up, Kenney started the channel to share ‘useful, practical content to many basic tasks that everyone should know how to do,’ as he describes on YouTube.

Meanwhile, two tweets about Kenney and his channel also went viral making more people turn to the channel.

While one tweet has nearly 50,000 retweets, another has over 2 million likes.

Kenney’s YouTube channel now has 1.3 million subscribers and the comments on his videos are overwhelming to say the least.

On a video about tying a tie, a comment reads, “This guy is literally a dad for people without dads”. On another about shaving, some commented, “Dad passed away before he could teach me how to shave lucky I have this video thanks!”

“You became dad for thousands of people, who lost dad or never met him like me. Its warming my heart that somebody making something like this,” posts another individual.

With his channel going viral, Kenney recently shared this video to thank everyone. Don’t miss the bungled up dad joke in the clip, it just makes the whole thing that much more adorable.
