The real world as well as the digital version is laced with different types of chaos. However, every now and then, a few minutes of wholesome content shifts the perspective back into place. Nathan Apodaca or commonly recognized on TikTok as @420doggface208 is a perfect example.
Nathan is now a fan-favorite after the video of him skateboarding and drinking Ocean Spray’s cranberry juice while Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” played in the background, went viral. The 37-year-old TikToker has been posting content on the platform for about two years where he followed common dance and lip-sync trends.

He later told The Washington Post how after a while, he “started doing his own thing.” “I started listening to music from the past that reminded me of my mom and dad”, Nathan expressed.
The growing creator has a very carefree and calm personality and reminds most of the audience of their own fathers. In most of his TikTok videos, Nathan is in different settings, dancing and truly vibing to different music.

The carefree creator’s videos did not translate only to the audience. Mick Fleetwood from the Rock Band ‘Fleetwood Mac’ himself was in awe of Nathan purely enjoying his time on this planet. Mick followed suit and posted a video of himself on TikTok reminiscing on old days while enjoying his own cranberry juice!

So is Ocean Spray (The Juice Company), who adored the video to such an extent where they further decided to help Nathan by gifting him a cranberry red colored truck filled with multiple bottles of cranberry juice!
Nathan later posted a TikTok of him enjoying yet another sip of Ocean Spray as he drove in his brand-new wheels!
@420doggface208 Thanks for the new wheels ocean spray! @tomhayes603 ##oceanspray
The backstory from his viral TikTok is that Nathan’s truck had run out of battery and could not run for any more miles as he intended to make his way to a potato warehouse in Idaho, where he had worked for almost two decades. He then proceeded to pick up his longboard to make the trip and, on his way, made a TikTok on his account @420doggface208. While on the road, he lip-syncs a verse from the 1977 hit single “Dreams” by the band Fleetwood Mac, written by Stevie Nicks.
Apodaca’s chill attitude towards creating content on TikTok has captivated the audience on another level. “I didn’t think people were gonna vibe to it on a level like this”, Nathan told The Washington Post.
“There’s just too much chaos right now. Everybody just needed something to relax to and vibe out with”, Nathan expressed in a report by NPR.
“Dream” by Fleetwood Mac is reportedly back on the charts and is tripling in sales. Reports also state that the band is on its best week ever in regards to streaming!
