Playing as an offensive lineman for Lake Eerie College, Dieurnest looked for an opportunity to strike a NIL deal with Popeye's based on his popular video, which has been going strong since 2013, and the fried chicken franchise delivered.

From getting his face on a Popeye's billboard to cooking up collaborations across the restaurant's content streams, Dieunerst is finally hitting the big time.

Dieunerst stopped by Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich on Thursday to share the surreal experience, how it all got started and how the video's impact is still going strong after nearly a decade.
