Creator Career

How Max VanderAarde became Cheddy

Max VanderAarde is the comedian and creator behind Freezer Tarps. Bloomberg reported in January 2025 that he was a University of Tampa graduate who had become known for a distinctive mix of sports humor, golf, slang and short-form sketches. A 2024 profile traces the launch of Freezer Tarps to October 2020, when VanderAarde began posting funny videos and expressions for friends before his audience expanded.

Cheddy’s comedic identity is built on rapid-fire phrases, invented vocabulary and a recognizable sports-fan voice. His catchphrases became part of his online brand, and his creator work grew beyond short clips into interviews, livestreams, products and collaborations. The 2024 Freezer Tarps profile describes his move from viral videos into business ventures; the details of individual products and commercial relationships can change over time.

Cheddy’s golf content and creator collaborations

Golf is a recurring part of Cheddy’s comedy and sports content rather than a conventional professional-tour career. His official Freezer Tarps YouTube channel has hosted a Big John vs Cheddy Full Livestream golf match. A separate October 2026 creator-stream clipping campaign describes golf footage involving Cheddy, Johnny Manziel and DOD King. These are stronger direct examples of his golf involvement than an unsupported college golf biography.

His official social accounts use the Freezer Tarps name. Cheddy’s style emphasizes humor, personality and competitive challenges. His public golf profile centers on creator matches and entertainment rather than a professional tour career.

Freezer Tarps audience and social platforms

Cheddy built his audience primarily through Instagram and TikTok, with a smaller YouTube channel supporting longer video and livestream content. The November 3, 2026 Blinkfire Analytics profile identifies Instagram @freezertarps, TikTok @freezertarpsss and the Freezer Tarps YouTube channel as part of the same creator network. These verified accounts provide a direct route to new golf clips and longer videos.

2026 Tournament

Cheddy at the 2026 Internet Invitational

VanderAarde was on captain Wesley Bryan’s Green Team for the 64-player 2026 Internet Invitational at Big Cedar Lodge, Missouri. He partnered with Kyle Forgeard in both opening matches against Brad Dalke’s Red Team.

Episode 1 — Scramble

Cheddy and Kyle Forgeard faced Keith Yandle and Paul Bissonnette. The Green pairing won. Contemporary match trackers differ on the exact hole margin, so the biography does not claim a specific winning score.

Episode 2 — Alternate shot

Cheddy and Kyle faced Josh Richards and Mason Nutt. The Red pairing won 3 and 2, leaving Cheddy and Kyle with one win and one loss in the opening team phase. Green Team advanced by defeating Red Team 10½–5½ overall.

These are dated event results, not a complete career win-loss record.
