Career
Thogdad started his social media career alongside his son Theo Ogden, who created his channel Thogden as a child in November 2014. He always supported his son and became his “sidekick” when Theo started making YouTube videos. Initially, he was only supposed to work out of the camera view, but he accidentally ended up appearing in a few videos and the viewers liked his character so much that he eventually became a regular feature in his son’s videos. He also started making videos on his own channel, which he had since 2011. He is known for making football-related content on the channel, covering historic moments, and also makes predictions for upcoming games.
He surfaced in the news in May 2021 after he challenged Greg Paul, the father of YouTubers turned boxers Jake and Logan Paul’s, into a boxing fight. The news was revealed by his son Thogden on the Happy Hour Podcast and confirmed by his father, who revealed that he had correspondence with Greg on Instagram and again challenged Greg on camera to get ready for a fight in six months time, adding that his only condition was that every penny made from the event went to mental health charities.
