There’s nothing like a crazy flight experience to bring people closer together, which is exactly what happened to influencer Steve Schenberg, who goes by “Husband TikTok” online.
In a recent video, Schenberg recounted a harrowing moment from a flight he was on from Nashville to Chicago.
“As soon as we took off, there was this huge noise,” Schenberg says in the video. “It sounded terrible, and the whole plane started vibrating.”
According to Schenberg, the pilot came over the loudspeaker and told passengers that the plane had hit a flock of birds, and that they were unable to bring the vehicle’s landing gear up, so they would have to turn around and land the plane.
“It was pretty tense there for a second,” Schenberg says. “I’m not going to say that we were in danger, but it wasn’t great.”
Schenberg recalls being met by fire and rescue vehicles on the Tarmac when they landed.

When he got off the plane, Schenberg was waiting at the gate for the gate agent in order to figure out how he was going to get back to Chicago, when he noticed a familiar figure disembarking behind him.
“All the sudden, I see Kaleb, the Montana Boy, handsome as can be just walking right off the plane,” Schenberg says in the video. “And I go ‘Kaleb?’ and he goes ‘Steve?'”

Schenberg recently went viral for his playful feud with Landon Barker where he comedically called out Barker for his overuse of The Fray’s hit “Look After You” as lip-sync music in more than a few of his TikToks.
Another similar staple in his content is videos he makes imitating and poking fun at the Montana Boyz, a TikTok group who have become popular online for their videos showcasing their cowboy lifestyle and music. Kaleb Winterburn is one-third of the trio.

“I go, ‘Oh my god, were you just on that plane?'”
“We were both just like what are the chances that this is the reason we see each other is because we were on the same flight that had all that stuff and now we’re back here,” Schenberg explains.
And in true content creator fashion, the pair agreed that their only option to close out their IRL-meeting successfully was to make a TikTok.
In the video, Coffey Anderson’s song “Mr. Red White and Blue” plays while Schenberg lip syncs in a busy airport walkway. Suddenly, on the line, “It’s the pledge of allegiance on the Fourth of July,” Winterburn appears out of the side of the frame and begins lip-syncing alongside Schenberg.
“Loved meeting him, great guy,” Schenberg said of the encounter.
Schenberg has a folder on his TikTok account titled “The Boyz,” where he has posted imitations of the group dancing and lip-syncing to the same song (“One Number Away” by Luke Combs) — similar to his feud with Barker.
Fans in the comments were quick to remark on the chance encounter.
“This feels like a full circle moment😂,” one user commented.
The official Montana Boyz account also left a comment, saying, “Truly an honor.”
Speaking exclusively with PEOPLE in January, Schenberg explained how the playful feud between him and Travis Barker’s son came to be.

“I started seeing Landon’s videos pop up on my feed,” he recalls, noting that he “got served a couple of his in a row” at the time and remembers him “posting the same thing.”
Noticing that Barker was “getting a ton of engagement” on his TikToks backed by The Fray’s song, Schenberg decided to “spoof” it with videos of his own because he was confident “people will know what [he was] referencing.” He says, “Once he engaged, that’s where it took off.”

Of his feud with Barker, Schenberg also hinted that an in-person collaboration between the two “would be the final chapter there.”
Perhaps now that he and Winterburn have met in person, Schenberg will put an end to posting into his “The Boyz” folder. Or perhaps he’ll have to wait until he collects videos with Mark Estes and Kade Wilcox — the other two-thirds of the group.
