“I make prank and blog videos just to get people’s reaction,” TJ says, describing some of his videos which include pretending to be blind and tripping in stores.

The 20-year-old currently lives at home with his mom who pays for his food and puts a roof over his head. He says he doesn’t make any money for his pranks, “But I’m loving every single minute of it.”
