My niece filmed me trying to fix a garbage disposal with a broom handle, now I'm the 'Garbage Disposal Guy' on TikTok

I was at my sister's house in Phoenix last month and her sink was backed up. I grabbed a broom handle to jam the disposal blades loose like my dad always did. My 14 year old niece filmed it for like 10 seconds and posted it. Woke up the next morning with 2 million views and now people DM me asking for plumbing advice. I'm a accountant, not a plumber. Has anyone else had a random skill go viral that you don't actually have?

My niece filmed me fixing a leaky toilet with a wire hanger last year, now I'm apparently the "Toilet Whisperer" to 400,000 people on Facebook. I'm a tax consultant, I don't know why a flapper valve is or how to replace it without flooding my own bathroom. The DM requests are getting weird too, one guy wanted me to diagnose his sewer line over video call.

@christopher_wells4 so when are you starting your plumbing YouTube channel?
