We greatly appreciate it.
Check this out.
Let's start to your latest thing that happened
was you racing Noah Louds.
Oh yeah.
How did that come about?
So look, I was just streaming.
You know Mr. Beast?
Yes, I do know Mr. Beast.
Right, he's another YouTuber. I'm randomly streaming. He always does this. He just calls me randomly. I was just streaming. You know Mr. Beast? Yes, I do know Mr. Beast. Right, he's another YouTuber.
I'm randomly streaming.
He always does this.
He just calls me randomly.
I'm randomly streaming.
I'm in Miami, Dan Orlando.
We called him, he was like, yo,
guess who I got here with?
I'm like, who you got here with?
Noah, I'm like, you know me, I love speed.
You know, like I'm obsessed with speed.
Right.
So I was like, Noah, let's race, let's go.
You know what I'm saying?
Off the rib, I mean, that's your first time.
Have you ever met Noah before?
Have you ever had any? Never met Noah.
Never talked to him, never met him, never talked to him.
Nothing, all I know is he the fastest man alive right now.
I'm like, no, let's race, let's go.
And I was like, where y'all at?
He was like, I'm in Florida.
I'm like, oh, then you know, my heart jumped.
I'm like, I'm in Florida. I'm in Florida too.
Yeah, I'm in Florida too.
Then he was like, I'm in Orlando.
So I was like, Miami, Orlando, it's a three hour drive.
Right. You know what I did? I took that drive. You I was like, Miami, Orlando, it's a three hour drive. But you know what I did?
I took that drive.
You hopped in the wheel.
Yep.
Hopped in the car, took that three hour drive,
no stretch, literally brand new.
It was a random Wednesday.
And I did it and I raced him.
So how much training did you do before that race?
I didn't listen.
Before the race, I'm in a car waiting
because Mr. Beasts has sent up
his whole camera management.
As I'm in the car, I'm looking at him.
He's doing all these Olympic stretches,
the leg overs.
Over, yeah, yeah.
He doing A's, G's, he doing all that.
Exactly, and I drove the whole time,
so I'm in the car tight,
so I had to wait in the car.
They was putting my mic on and stuff,
so I had no stretching, no nothing,
no training, no nothing. So, as soon as I got out the car, it was straight to it, right?
So how serious do you think he took it was he really trying to beat you? Okay?
honestly
Honestly
Okay
He took it serious. Okay
When he see me like accelerated, like. Yeah, you got out. Exactly, exactly.
When he see like I was like accelerated
and it was there, he started taking like 100%.
Then at the end he tried to make it seem
like he was playing, doing all that long stride.
But he took it serious.
Right.
He took it serious.
Right.
What do you think would have happened
had you actually beat him?
You would have crashed the end of that, huh?
Yeah, a huge shift.
It would have been a huge shift in me, in the world of athletes, in the world of everything,
pretty much.
And that was my goal, but I should have said 40 meters.
If it was 40 meters, I had him, but...
You want to rematch?
Yes, I do.
But you're going to take...
I believe I can beat him.
I generally believe...
I believe if we did a rematch that day, same 50 meters, I would have beat So but this time you're gonna get out of strength. You're gonna make sure you loosen up
Yeah, exactly just sitting in the car waiting for him. Exactly. Exactly. Like yeah exactly
But before Noah allows there was a situation that was supposed to take place with you and Tyreek
Did you challenge Tyreek or Tyreek challenge you? Tyreek, Tyreek, Tyreek
I I I challenged Tyreek, no Tyreek challenged me first and I challenged him back. Okay.
I think Tyree was joking at first,
but blah blah blah, then it became serious,
so then it became like a serious speed.
So boom, he told me to pull up to his practice.
He texted me, I can show you the messages.
He told me to pull up to his practice.
I pulled up to his practice.
He ducked me.
He was genuinely scared, you know?
And I get it.
He's an athlete, that's his life,
that's how he makes money, you know? People see him as, you know, like, I he's an athlete that's his life that's how you
make money you know people see him as you know like I'm the fastest man in the
league but and he didn't want to take that risk of racing me because he knew
that it would have been bad for him you think you can be Tyree? 100% can.
100% hold on I want to know you're gonna race him in a 40 or 50? 40.
I can beat Tyree Gill in a 40. So let me ask you, so when you issue challenges to athletes,
or athletes issue challenges to you,
you're like, OK, well, let's do it.
You take it serious from that point on,
because you don't duck no smoke.
No.
You don't turn nothing down.
No.
No.
I don't know.
I don't duck.
No.
I don't.
So what type of athlete were you in high school?
Did you participate in sporting events in high school?
What went on with it?
See, look, see, look. See, people don't know, but I was always in sports my whole life.
Okay.
But my sophomore year of high school, I started doing YouTube, then I just, like, I dropped
all of it, you know, I just, I just didn't touch sports anymore.
I was focused on YouTube.
But from that period from, I'm six, I came around, I was four or five, five, six, I played
sports my whole life.
So I always had it in me, but I just stopped, you know, I just, I came around when I was four, five, five, six. I played sports my whole life, so I always had it in me,
but I just stopped, you know, I just, I stream now.
So what if a college came out and said,
look man, I mean, you're very athletic,
I mean, you can run, you can jump,
we wanna offer you a scholarship to play football.
See, look, no.
No, no. No, no. Football, football.
Okay, what about the run track?
Youngers, like, track.
Maybe track.
Maybe, I think I'm a bit more flexible track.
I'm a bit more flexible.
And I do have a chance to go in like in the 2028.
Like I believe I can be a professional track.
Are you going to train for it?
Yes, I could train.
I know I believe that I could be in an Olympic for 2028.
I believe that.
So are you going to train to try to be in the Olympics in 2028?
I got three years, man.
Yes.
All it takes is me for one year.
All it takes me to one year to a full year of training for me.
I like I already got the speed already like it's already in my legs. I just don't I just don already got the speed. It's already in my legs.
I just don't got the technique.
Right.
I have no technique.
If I learn a technique, it's over.
Bobby Kershaw.
I almost be no with no technique.
None at all.
I never ran track of day in my life.
Now you do know Noah's gonna watch this.
I know.
And he's gonna call you out again.
I know.
And he's gonna take you serious.
And he's gonna look to smoke again. I know. And he's gonna take you serious. Yep. And he's gonna look to smoke you.
Now look, now look.
If it's a hundred meter, Noah we.
Now you ain't touching him in the heart.
Yeah I know, okay, all right.
Let's keep it a 50 meter.
Okay yeah, realistically, I'm not touching him
in a hundred meter, but in a 50 meter,
if we do another 50 meter, it's over for him.
It's over.
Because did you both have on sneakers
or did you have on track spikes?
No, we both had spikes on.
Okay, you both had trikes spikes, okay.
Uh-huh.
Because you got out the gate.
I'm going to give you credit.
I never had spikes.
That was my first time using spikes as well.
Really?
Yes.
Like I said, in raw speed I'm faster than Ola.
If me and Ola was both born in some random village in Cambodia or something, and we both
was 18, 18, and we both raced
each other I'm winning but since he trains he does techniques you know you
know he trained his whole life he won you know do you train at all so let me
ask you a question I understand that you stream an awful lot and it takes like I
mean to create content people don't realize that people that create content
for real that is their job it's not a part-time job job
It is a full-time job. So with that being said how much time do you devote to?
Activities other than screaming so like playing basketball or running or jumping or doing everything how much time do you put into that?
Rarely not at all if you want to be honest rarely like I try to like I try to stay active because I don't want to
Become but like my content is really active like my content is running racing. I'm being honest, rarely, like I try to, I try to stay active, because I don't wanna become, but my content is really active.
My content is running, racing, I'm walking, traveling.
So I'm basically staying active,
but I try to get in the gym,
just four to five times a week for like 40 minutes.
I try to get my body just sustainable,
but clearly not enough.
The race is gonna happen, They say it's gonna happen.
Noah and Tyree.
Who you putting your money on?
Obviously it depends on the distance.
40 yards close.
40 yards close.
Because Noah is not fast when he like...
He don't get out the block.
When he first starts he's slow as shit.
He's slow as shit. you do realize that the world
fastest man you talking about he's slow yo no no no no I'm talking about in the
beginning he's slower yeah he's slow as shit but Tyre Q has good like he's small
he he got good acceleration it'll be close I say I probably got Tyre Q
distance yet is it a 40 50 or 60 40 I got Tyree Q. In a 40-yard. Do we know the distance yet?
Is it a 40, 50, or 60?
40, I got Tyree Q.
50, no, 50 and up, Noah.
Okay.
50 and up, Noah.
Do you want the winner?
So the winner get, the winner get out, get speed.
Hell yeah.
I'm the final boss.
I'm the final boss.
You the final boss?
Yes.
I'm serious. I'm looking're the final boss? Yes. I'm serious.
I'm looking at you, you are serious.
You really do want the winner.
And the thing is, is that you believe you can beat Tyreke
or Noah Lowes.
Listen, Tyreke Hill is scared to race me.
He's scared.
Do you hear this man?
Tyreke Hill, you are scared.
Okay, listen.
Tyreke Hill, all of a to stop put your career on the line
Put your contract on put your contract put everything on your life put your life on the line
Race me 40 yards
40 yards I give you whatever how many weeks you need 40 yards certain date and if you beat me
I'm out
But you're not gonna beat me though. That's like he not going to beat me. But he doesn't want to risk that.
But I bet if it was somebody else who didn't run as much, he'd race him.
But since it's me, he doesn't want to race.
I think because maybe he's seen you run and like, okay.
Exactly.
Even without technique, you do accelerate very well getting out of blocks and that's
half the race.
Because when you're dealing with comparable speed, guys that get, if I get out get out the game we got the same level of speed that's the difference the
difference in the winning and losing all right so you feel you get Tyreek and
Noah all right how's that gonna look you talking about the world fastest man
Tyreek is probably if not the fastest one of the fastest men in the NFL and
here's a guy that all he does is scream he's a YouTube phenomenon and he just beat he beat the fastest man in the world and one of the
fastest men in NFL history. That don't look good on us man. That's what I'm
saying and that's why they don't want it to happen. They don't want the YouTuber to beat
the athlete. They don't want that. They don't want it. But you beat Travis Scott.
It wasn't even close with you in training.
Travis Scott, yeah, he's slow.
He's slow.
I didn't even run full speed.
The last, literally the last time I ran full speed
was against Noah Laos.
Right.
And I like, I usually don't run full speed
when I run against people, but Noah, I ran full speed.
So do people call you out or do you call them out?
Or the little bit of both?
They usually call me out, because my name's Speed, so they try to take it as a joke,
but you're Speed but you're slow.
Or Race, man.
Then when I say Race, I beat them.
Then, you know, the joke's on them now.
So...
Man, I'm...
But you know what?
As I watch you, and I watch some of your stuff getting ready for this interview, you are
really athletic and you pick up stuff really, really quick.
I watched you with this gymnast and you're in the gym doing backflips and like okay you're like
okay I can do one and then he told you to tuck the technique of how do you
suppose to tuck and you did multiple rotations. Right. Had you had you
practiced any of that before? Never. Never. That was my first time in a gym.
Bro. In a gymnast. Yes, how you go on that bouncy floor
and he just basically tell you what you need to do,
how you need to tuck your knees and tuck your chair
and you did multiple rotations
and that's the first time you've ever done that
before in your life.
I mean, it's just, I don't know like,
I can't really explain it but if I see something
and like, if I see it in my head and like if I can visualize it in my head
I can just do it, you know
I like I don't really know how to explain that or even answer that question
So you're like a you're very visual learning type of person you need you need to see somebody do it
So somebody like they're trying to explain it. Yeah, you don't get the comprehension of it
But once you see that person, yeah exactly. Oh, okay Oh, okay. Exactly. I can do that. Exactly.
So if I were to put you, if I gave you,
I'm gonna give you a month to train.
How fast do you think you run to 40?
A 40?
I ran a 4.4 flat last time.
If I, and I stopped a little bit,
I could maybe run like a 4.3.
4.3.
So I guess now you wanna go to the combine where all the new college kids come out next year and you want to challenge the fastest one, whoever the fastest one is, I want you.
Yes, sir.
I'm serious. You keep laughing. Hey, I'm serious. I'm serious.
Why is it? Why do you feel? Why do you want to be NFL players of the fastest man?
Because they're not fat like they're not fast like
Maybe they are fast, but maybe you're fast. Yeah exactly like when I know I'm faster than somebody and people like oh my god
They're so fast. I'm like no they're like they're not fast
Well, but what if that was your also your calling clearly you didn't make a mistake doing what you're doing
You're very successful at what you do now, but maybe what if your calling was running track?
To be honest, I probably would have like
That's not my calling
Um, listen, I respect track. I love track, but I feel like it was maybe something
Bigger like yeah, like I can still run
try it you know I can still be good at truck but I feel like it was something
bigger than try it right I saw you are you caught a pass on sauce Garner mm-hmm
so now you now you wide receiver now you trying to go out there and put work in
on DB's not just any DB listen all the DB's okay this is another one and all the DB's out
there Jalen Ramsey whoever cook wait wait let me talk let me talk listen
listen I played football I was no but like nobody know but I was like a four
star five star I was a force our foster slot for high school freshman year you
had a restaurant that was four star five star?
No, no.
Oh, you're an athlete.
No, no, no.
You can look at me up on huddle.
You can look at my name.
I have four star foster.
You can look at my highlights.
I was one of the best slots in Ohio.
And so now you just want to get, now as a YouTuber,
you just want to get that work to NFL players.
Yes.
I still got it. I didn't lose it Jake Paul wants to race you he says he's gonna put
up what do you put up 25,000 is his charity at that point I don't even know
like Jake Paul I don't even know what he's even thinking it like he's not
beating me like so no professional laugh No, non professional athlete is going to beat you in a race. No
No
So you're the fastest youtuber content creator social media
What whatever you want to say if you're not an athlete you're not out running speed. No, you're just not
The only race I lost in my whole life was against a
Olympic Olympic champion.
Yeah, exactly.
So that shows a lot.
It does.
It does.
It shows that you are very confident.
Even any NFL player, they can't beat me.
Tareq was the only person that I see him like, okay.
What about Xavier Werther?
He had the fastest time in Combine history.
He's not beating me.
Come on now, Speed.
He's not.
He's not beating me.
So you mean to tell me the fastest man in the world
doesn't run track, he's on YouTube?
Yes.
My name is Speed for a reason.
Yeah, I'm not saying, hey.
Yes.
I mean, like, did you not just watch the Noah
Lows race, right? Yeah. Like, does that not picture, does that not help you think that
I'm not the fastest? I do believe you're fast. I think people have underestimated you until
you race Noah. And then I think they got, because when you're out running people that
don't run for a living, that's not saying much, but Noah Liles is a professional runner.
Right.
He's a professional sprinter.
And the race was probably a lot closer than people thought it was going to be.
But then again, I think people thinking, man, Noah didn't take him serious.
Noah was going to.
He did.
I promise you he did.
I promise you he did not want to get seen on the internet.
That even being that close.
Right.
He didn't want that it
No, no the fight last night
Jake Paul Mike Tyson, what do you think?
Yeah, I watched it I stayed up and watched it
Man I was just like
Like so look when it started when I watched it, when it started, they coming out with Mike
Tyson, he got the look, I'm like, oh my God.
I never seen Mike Tyson fight a day in my life.
I'm 19, I never seen a box.
Jake Paul, I seen no box.
And I thought Mike Tyson was going really doing bad, but age just shows.
And that's what I realized, I was like, wow, age is really a thing.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Age is really a thing. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Age is really a thing. And and it showed in that fight, you know, he was
it just wasn't there.
You know, it wasn't the legs.
The mind is willing, but the body is enabled, especially when it's required
for you to do movement.
Now, like if you're like a power lift or something that you can just starting
and just lift a lot of weight, that's one thing.
But when you got to move boxing, when you got to run,
that's something entirely different. Yeah, like I feel like fighting Jay Paul when I seen it.
That might be that might not. You might need to stay away from that. You're not quite big.
Come on now. Don't stop it. I can fight too. I can listen. I believe it. I can do any sport,
but it needs if I have six months, if I have six months
just to learn a sport, I'm a professional at that sport.
But- But what?
What about the size discrepancy?
There's a reason why they have weight classes.
There's a reason.
Middle weight, welterweight, bannum weight, straw weight,
fly weight, super middle, light heavy, cruiser.
It's all in ounces in the gloves.
Yeah, what is it, 135 you fight in like eight ounce glove,
135 or above you fight in 10 ounces?
Doesn't matter.
To be honest, when I listen, I jumped over a car.
When I believe I can do something,
like if I look at something and I believe I can do it, I I could do it. There's that I'm not saying that you couldn't box. I know I'm saying I could be Jake Paul
You're like weight classes. I'm saying I think I can be Jake Paul in a fight too. Even even if the weight class is different
Okay, I'm not I'm not gonna
So let me ask you a question. So would you do a celebrity boxing match? I will but
Again, nobody wants to box me.
No constant creator wants to box me.
Kai doesn't want to box me.
Nobody wants to box me.
Nobody.
No constant creator, no streamer out there.
They're like, no, speed?
Oh, he's going to flub.
Like, nobody.
Because they know that I can really do this.
Nobody wants to box me. No constant creator out there wants to out there. That's why I haven't had a boxing match yet
But Jake Paul is a content creator and he boxes
You still want is Jake Paul thing, you know, I'm just saying you said nobody but I'm just saying there
There's one guy that I can only think of at the top of my head. I don't yeah
Listen, listen, I get that but I rather for my first fight
fight somebody that's like 165, 170. Right. Yeah. You know, Jake weighed in like 227 last
night. Right. And I'm 165. I've been trying to tell you that for the last fight. I know. I just
don't want to fight Jake Paul for my first fight. I don't want to do that. You want to warm up? Yeah, exactly. Like yeah, just that's later. Right. Hold on
KSI would you?
Listen, I fought KSI before it was a spar. I had five days of training and I still did them
You know and I still gave him work
But I believe I could yes and I'm not trolling when I say this
I believe I can be him in a match too
If I like I say as long as I have a few months to train
Mm-hmm. I got it is
Of all the sports that you've competed in is boxing the hardest. Oh
I'm gonna be honest
Yeah, cuz like once you learn cuz like I learned the few stuff but once you're in a ring
You know, you just really rely on natural just natural
Instinct so I feel like for boxing
The best you can do is get your cardio up and just get him enough sparring matches as you can just just to get used
To the field. Yeah, and once I get used to the field, I got it
Well, I saw you had a sparring session with a Manny Pacquiao. Oh
Yeah, yeah, he threw a body punch.
Yeah, but that's because he was only doing body.
But if it was face and body, I could have worked him a little bit.
Speed.
You do realize this man, he's the only man to eight time champ, eight divisions.
I said work him, I'm quick though.
I got fast, I'm quick.
But the sad thing is you actually believe that you could have gave Maddie Paki out some work some yes some work
I'm not saying I'm oh, I'm whooping his ass, but I'm giving him some work
I mean you like what gives him work to like top of them, you know, oh you so you go touch Maddie Paki out. Yeah
So let me ask you a question so when he hit you with the body shot, what went through your mind?
I was hurting.
What you mean what went through my mind?
So that's what you're doing boxing.
So what's up?
He didn't touch your face.
We was only going body.
Thank you.
And I've got listen, listen.
So what'd you do?
You overextended?
Yes.
I left myself open on purpose.
So just to see if he...
Oh, you wanted to see what a body shot felt like.
Yeah, exactly.
So you understand now why Ryan crumbled when Javante caught in with a body shot.
Yeah. Yeah, but you don't feel it after. I don't know why Ryan didn't get up, to be honest.
Like, you feel it for like 30 seconds, but you can...
Yeah, that's time, you know, you only get to 10.
Oh yeah, you right.
You right?
You right?
I mean, because it's kind of like in football, like you get the air knocked out of you.
You try to catch a pass or somebody catch you off guard and you get, you know, you get
the air knocked out of you and you're like, man, get...
Yeah.
Yeah.
It feels like, man, you're trying to breathe. You're trying to say something, but you can't say anything. Yeah. It feels like, man, you're trying to breathe.
You're trying to say something, but you can't say anything.
Right.
And so, yeah, that body shot is.
So what is it like?
So you go in the ring and you understand who Manny Pacquiao is.
He's the only man to win belts in eight different divisions.
So you know what you're up against.
So what was that experience like?
Because it's different than being in there like, okay, I'm here with a regular guy.
I mean, listen, many, like, he wasn't taking it serious.
He was doing that little face, you know, he was doing,
just smiling.
Yeah.
So I tried to, like, you know, I tried to, like,
really try to tick him off a little bit,
tag him a little bit, so we can take it a bit serious.
Because, like, I want to get an actual spark.
Oh, so you wanted to get touched for real,
so you know what it feels like.
Yeah, exactly.
So I wanted him to really lock in. So I tried to tag him a little bit, but, you know to get touched for real. Yeah, it feels like yeah exactly So I wanted to really him to really lock in so I try to tag him a little bit
But you know, he wasn't he wasn't being serious
So I try to you know get him mad, but he didn't fall for it
Then I damn he was doing a body thing then I left myself open, you know
Just to see what it felt like and he tagged me
Who's your go a Floyd you like Floyd would you fight Florida makes a submission fight?
Yes. Yeah. Floyd you like Floyd would you fight Florida next exhibition fight? Yes, yeah, well you get Floyd I
Believe but I'm a many Pacquiao fan. I think many Pat y'all's that go to boxing in my opinion
Man is the goat. Yeah, I take many over Floyd like, you know, yeah, you remember back then. Yeah, I take many
But you would in the next exhibition you try your hand at Floyd. Yeah. Floyd, make it happen.
Floyd, hey Floyd, you don't want the work either, bro.
I promise you. Floyd, six months, let's go.
You do realize like Floyd take this stuff serious.
I take it serious too.
No, but I'm not trolling.
Listen, I'm not talking on my ass.
I'm not trolling.
Like I said, if I have six months, I can do this.
Are you gonna take, if Floyd people reach out
to your people and says, okay, let's put something together
instead in spring, early spring, April, May,
you down to make that happen?
100%.
I've been waiting for a fight.
I've been waiting just to work every day.
Soon as I get done streaming, working,
I've been waiting for that.
Ooh, wee.
Come on, Floyd.
Because Floyd did fight, he fought Logan.
He fought Logan, but he won't fight me though.
I don't think he'll fight me.
Why?
I don't think, like, I don't think, like,
like professional athletes always try to stay away from me, you know,
because they know that anything can happen.
So I don't, so I like, I think Floyd might be pretty like scared and antsy I don't know if
Floyd really had a altercation between another boxer I'm not gonna say his name
but it was a professional boxer I was like yo let's box you like nah man I
don't want to do it to you I'm like okay but you do realize in that man
profession that man if he just boxing somebody, you do realize speed to understand that man hands is a lethal weapons.
Yes.
And you're not a professional boxer. So if he loves what's
what's the benefit in it if he lumps you up?
What do you mean? But that's not going to happen though. That's
the thing. That's not going to happen.
So MMA, that's you want to try MMA? No, I don't know about MMA. That one's just too
brutal. The elbow, like I don't, that's just. Did you choke down, who choked out, was that you?
It was me. It was me. You choked the man out? Yep. Well you know what, I think you'd be great at
MMA. So I got you something. What? I went shopping on Amazon.
Uh-huh.
And I wanted to make sure that I got you something
that even if you do decide to go that way,
you'll have something to get you started.
And hopefully, you know, as confident as you are,
I bought you a gift off Amazon.
I think you're going to really like this.
Oh, he just put it on Amazon.
Yeah.
Oh, so you really want me to fight you
you really want me to fight you know how to fight fight boxing and fighting is two
different things no it's not thank you Shannon I mean you got a I mean them four-ounce gloves man. I don't speed
Like you said that MMA
Elbow knee. Yeah, but that's why that's why I'm amazed kind of tricky on that one. I don't
It's just too like brutal like, you know, yeah, they're different. Yeah, you call them out. They gonna say they go
Yeah, so UFC but
Mmm, so when you choked that eight rows, as am I not mistaken Dana was there right? Yeah, yeah
And you just you you made the man you choked the man out
Yes, how did you know who taught you that technique? You're just watching just wrestling that you know wrestling as a kid
You know just playing with your cousin's wrestling
Yeah, just a move just a chokeout move
so
You're the fastest you the fastest
YouTuber streamer you the most athletic YouTube streamer. You're the most physical
YouTube screen streamer. You're the most gifted YouTube streamer and that's person
Is there anybody that's in the social media space
that creates content that can beat you in anything?
Be me in anything?
What do you mean, anything like what?
Like you said nobody's gonna beat you racing.
Oh. That do what you do. I'm not talking about a professional racing. Oh. That do what you do.
I'm not talking about a professional.
I'm talking about do what you do.
Create content.
So nobody can outrun you.
Is there anybody that create content that can inbox, can outbox you?
Outbox me?
Yeah.
In general, or like my weight class or like just in general?
I mean I don't really know all this no
There's no answers. No
Answers no, I can't think of one and no
Logan Paul gifted you I saw the global Paul gifted you a hundred thousand dollar Tesla truck after you were hit by Randy Orton with the
RTO, uh-huh. So the master question you scream and that takes a lot of time because I understand how creating content
Where do you find the time to say,
you know what, I'm gonna try that.
I'm gonna do that.
What do you mean?
I mean, because you, man, bro,
I see you like one day you're in Japan,
the next day you're somewhere else,
you're back in the States.
Dude, I mean, I was talking to you off camera
and you say you have a residency
or your main residence is in Florida.
But bro, how do you have the time to do all the stuff?
And I understand your age, taking into account your 19,
you have a boundless energy.
But when do you find the time to do all the stuff
that you do outside of streaming?
Outside of what?
Yeah, like the race of Noah Lyle,
you say that's a part of it.
The Randy Orrin RKO.
Stuff like that?
Yes, yes.
I mean, planes is this, it's planes.
That's the plain old answer, you know,
planes and I'm just planes.
How much sleep do you get?
Are you a sleeper?
No.
I was gonna say the way you can sleep.
No, no, I get about six way you can sleep. No, no.
I get about six, seven hours.
That's pretty good.
So how long do you stream per day?
Or do you stream every day?
Every other day?
I stream most of the day.
I stream, and if I do stream, I stream about four to five hours.
Non-stop?
Yeah.
Non-stop.
When I'm not streaming, I'm brainstorming, what I wanna do in terms of content.
So yeah.
As a child, you said, I mean, listening to you talk
and with your athletic ability,
I can tell you were very gifted as a child.
When did you say, you know what,
I'm leaving the athleticism side of it away,
I'm not gonna do football, I'm not gonna do track and field,
I'm not gonna play basketball or any of the other sports.
I'm gonna focus on creating content.
What, eight?
Oh, like what point of my life?
Yes, yes.
So I started, you remember COVID, right?
2020. Yes, yes.
2020 COVID.
I just felt so like, I was around 14.
I just felt, was I 14? Yeah, no like, you know, I just felt was I 14?
Yeah, no, I was 15.
Yeah, I was 15, 15, 2020 COVID.
You know, it was no school.
I was bored and had nothing to do.
I had nothing to do.
You know, everything stopped.
Stuck in a house.
All I did was play video games
and just something sparked in me.
You know, like my friend told me, yo, like you know cuz I cuz I always loved games always I was
always a gamer as a kid and I made like videos and I was a kid you know just
regular stuff as a kid but then 2020 that's like that's the point of my
career where that's that's pretty much my life changed I sparked that first
stream up I gained two viewers. Or was it one?
It was the one of them two viewers.
I had that one viewer, and that viewer made me keep going.
And each day and each day and more, week two, I gained,
I started averaging four viewers.
Week three, eight viewers.
Week four, 20 viewers.
So on and so on and so on.
So then my sophomore year, I just kind of, I kind of gave up on
school. Right. I kind of gave up on school. I kind of gave up on everything that I, that
I had to my old life and just put everything onto my stream. I streamed every day. I didn't
care about nothing else but YouTube streaming. How would, how did your parents take to that,
that you had, like you, you said you had given up on everything
except streaming.
I'm pretty sure they weren't as happy about this
as you were.
Yeah, yeah, that was bad.
So as I was streaming,
there was a clip that kind of blown up.
It was on War Star.
You remember War Star, right?
It wasn't like, it didn't go viral.
It had like maybe 30,000 viewers
So my mom so my dad showed my mom because my dad watches war started my mom seen the video
She's like, what are you doing? Why is everybody talking about you like online blah blah blah?
Because it was like hate comments. Mm-hmm. So she kicked me out
Kick you out where?
No, she told me to quit or I'm leaving.
Or like, you can't do this in my house.
So I'm like, I'm out.
Really?
Yeah, I was like, I'm out.
I'm not about to stop.
I was already averaging like 20 viewers.
I had like a thousand subs, 2,000 subs.
I'm already going.
And once I start something, I'm not stopping.
Right.
So, wait a second.
And so, like, once I'm, so, like, once I start something, I'm not stopping.
So boom, she kicked me out, I moved to my dad in Detroit, then I kept going.
I kept going, my dad didn't really care, my dad let me, shout out to my dad, shout out
to my mom too.
I still love my mom, she was, she didn't know what was going on.
But anyways, I kept going in Detroit and I got here.
Pretty much it.
But my mom, she just now understood it maybe a year ago.
Like she really accepted it about a year or two ago.
So once you started doing it, you're gaining a thousand,
ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty, forty thousand,
and you become what you become.
What was the first thing you purchased?
You know, it's crazy.
Like, I'm not even like a purchase person, like type of guy.
Like my first like my first big purchase was mainly by my mom, probably just by my mom's house.
That's probably like, I was never like a guy like, oh I wanted a chain, or I wanted that
closed, or I wanted that this and that.
Oh you're not a car guy, you're only a guy.
Yeah, and plus I was 16, I was 16, I didn't know what to do.
I didn't want a car because I didn't like the drive. I didn't want a chain because I just didn't want a chain.
I didn't want to close.
I didn't want none of that.
So I just kind of had money.
So what age you become a millionaire?
Were you were 16 when you became a millionaire?
Because you say you started 15 during COVID.
No, no, no.
I became a millionaire at early, early 17. Okay.
No, yes, no 16.
No, I was 16, but it was like, I was about to turn 17.
So now you got this influx of money,
and you're like, damn, I'm 16 and a half,
about to be 17, and I got more money
than I could have possibly imagined just a year ago,
let alone five
years ago so what is that feeling like?
If you want to be honest I was it's kind of so crazy you know when I think back on
it but I was generally as a 16 year old kid I was just so locked in like just on
what like on my craft right I just didn't really like really like take a
realization on the position that I was in as a 16 year old kid
You know and right now I'm still locked in but now when I think like think back on like damn
I was 16. I was a junior had all this money blah blah blah, but
You know, I was just locked in, you know, I didn't really
Think that take that into consideration really. Let me go back
You say your mom says if you don't you you can't continue to stream in my home or you're gonna have to go
So did you drop out of school or did you go to Detroit with your father and finish school? Oh listen? Okay, okay. Oh
So I dropped out my sophomore year. I was filling all my grades my sophomore year then and
Then my mom was like hell no, you know, she put a stop to it. She called my dad.
I moved back, yeah, then I moved back in with my mom
for my junior year.
So I gained my credit for my sophomore year and my junior
because my mom, she was on it.
She put me on online class.
Well, we tried this like a public school, but that didn't last a month
because I was already famous, whatever.
But anyways, I got into my online class.
My mom locked me in because she wanted me to get my high school diploma.
Yeah, she wanted me to get my diploma so she locked me back in but you know I made my ways and I graduated.
Okay.
Yeah.
Did you have, did you have, look I understand the streaming community is one thing but did you have friends,
I'm talking about like friends that were around you.
Did you have those friends when you were like, oh, yes.
But like I said, the covid covid really like, yeah, it just messed up.
It just messed up my social life.
Like I didn't talk to my friends.
Right. I was only talking to my online friends, my gaming friends.
It's just like covid really put a hit on my life.
Right. Put a hit on my life.
Hello. You said you don't you know, you're not big in the clothes. You're not big in the cars. COVID really put a hit on my life. Right. Put a hit on my life. Hold on.
You said you don't, you're not big in the clothes,
you're not big in the cars, you're not big in the homes,
you bought your mama home,
but you bought a $10 million home in Ohio?
$10 million, no, I didn't.
A million?
Yeah, a million.
A million.
Yeah.
Who's in Ohio?
My mom, my mom's in Ohio.
Okay, okay. Your father's in Detroit, your mom's in Ohio? My mom, my mom's in Ohio. Okay, okay.
Your father's in Detroit, your mom's in Ohio,
you're in Florida.
Yeah.
So how often do you guys, do you have any siblings?
Yes.
Yes, I do have siblings.
Are they gamers, are they?
Nah, nah, nah.
I'm the oldest, I'm the oldest, so yeah.
Your mom probably ain't going for that now.
She's like, I got one.
Nah, y'all go focus on school
Yeah, yeah, but yeah, they doing good. My son was doing well. Okay
What is the one thing that you if you say you haven't bought anything too extravagant
But if there anything that you purchase for yourself that you like
Man, I wish I hadn't even bought this. Yeah. Yeah, it was a chain
You want a chance? Oh, what? Yeah, it was a chain cuz I mean look listen listen at 16 17
I didn't buy nothing at 18. I didn't buy nothing, but now I'm 19 now. I'm like
uh, you gotta buy something? Yeah, I gotta buy something. Bought me a few cars, bought me a chain. What type of car you get?
I got me I got two. I got a Lamborghini and I got a Yaris. Okay so you got the car and
and the SUV. Yeah. Okay. So I'm like yeah I'm like yeah okay let me buy a chain
like you know just to see what it's about. Right. Bought the chain haven't
worn it. I just don't wear it. So what is it? Is it Cuban? Does it have speed on it?
I bought it yeah it was a $50,000 chain it was I don't know yes like a Cuban
link like Ronaldo chain yeah whatever right but it's a $50,000 chain. It was I don't know. Yes, like a cumulink like Ronaldo change. Yeah, whatever right
But it's a good chain. I just never wear it like it was just a waste because I don't wear the chain, right?
So what have what have you learned about money now that you have money?
Surplus abundance you're doing very very well in the streaming and online. What have you learned most about money?
What I learned most about money? Money talks. First of all, money just money kind of runs its world, you
know, and you got to really and a lot of people don't got it, you know, so I try to like help
out as much people because, you know, that's why I like I carry cash now you know I always carry cash anywhere I go you know just to hand it out to
somebody you know because some people need it but you know money is just it's
kind of a life what runs on you have a great team around you they talk to you
about like I don't know how long you wanna do this.
I don't know if you have any other,
what are the hobbies or anything that you wanna do
outside of this once this is over.
So how long do you want to stream?
How long you wanna do this?
As long as you can, do you see an end date
and do something else?
I love streaming, you know?
I wanna really, really perfect it.
Like, ah, really, really perfect it, you know, because
I really love the game of streaming.
Like I love the industry of streaming.
I like, I really love it.
And it's not gonna stop.
It's not gonna stop.
What is investing?
Obviously, you know, you say you carry cash because everybody is not as fortunate as you
are.
And sometimes you see people in need
and you want to be able to help them.
And that's a big thing for you.
But what did your team tell you about investing?
Like, I don't know, Speed, we can't save the world.
What do you mean by that?
What I'm saying, like, you said that you want to help people.
Yep.
And as far as, like, your team said,
you know, we got to make sure we invest X, Y, and Z, but you say you carry cash because you want to help people. Yeah. And and as far as like your team said, you know, we gotta make sure we invest X, Y, and Z but you say you carry
cash because you wanna help people. Have your team cuz I
had the same thing cuz I I got a big heart and I wanna help and
my team's like Shannon, you can't save the world. Exactly.
That's true but if you want it, my thing is if you run into
somebody and you know you got it, you know, it don't matter if it's a supporter of like, if somebody asks you, yo,
you know, I want to feel like I was just walking down in Michigan.
Some dudes walking down, yo, I want to feed my daughter some ramen noodles, blah,
blah, blah. Even with like 200 ball, you know, like just, I'm talking about stuff
like that. I get it. I get it. We can't say the world, but if somebody needed,
if somebody need help give him that and
Plus if you got it, right, you know, so I tried it like I'm always sending people money
I'm always sending you money just to help out and it comes a family friends
Supporters anything is this is it hard for you to say no. Oh
No, it's not, you know, obviously I asked like yo like what you need it for you know, I'm not just but No, it's not. You know, obviously I asked like, yo, like what you need it for. You're not about to just, but no, it's not hard for me to say no.
Rinaldo, you have a relationship.
Is Rinaldo to go?
100%.
Over Messi?
Yes.
Wow.
Yes.
You have a Rinalato themed Lamborghini.
And so that's what it is.
You have the chain that's kind of like what he has, like a Renato themed chain and a 200,000 or 200 plus thousand dollar Lambo.
Does I guess does Renato have Lambo?
Because clearly I think you've been to his home.
Oh, no, I haven't quite leave into his home.
You haven't been to his home.
But no, I haven't. But, yeah,. You haven't been to his home. But no, I haven't.
But yeah, he does have a Lamborghini though.
He does.

When did you have this?
I mean, you're a big soccer fan, I'm assuming.
Football.
Football, OK.
When did you have this infinity with Ronaldo?
It's like, man, I really like him starting like in
2022 okay 2022
Like that man, he's really he like he still inspires me now, you know
I like I really like I really like respect people who like inspires me and keeps me going and
You know and in a way they live
So when I see Ronaldo when I seen how you know, he lives talks way they live. So when I seen Ronaldo, when I seen how, you know, he lives, talks, how the way, how his career was, you know,
like his career is a legacy.
Yes.
Everything, just a legacy.
So, and that's what I really like about him.
Is it true that you got Ronaldo's face tatted on you?
Yeah, right here.
And Messi's jersey number?
No.
No Messi?
No. No Messi?
No.
So you're not a Messi?
I mean you respect him, I mean you understand that he's a really good, but you're biased
towards Ronaldo.
Yeah.
What about you?

Ronaldo or Messi?
Messi.
All right, peace out.
Messi?
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Why? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.

See, look.
That's it.
See, look.

What, I mean.
You being too simple-minded.

Does it count for anything?
A ball in the yard?
Yeah. Yes.
Who has the most?
Ronaldo does.
Messi does.
But not Strato.
You don't understand.
You don't understand.
Okay, well help me understand.
You see, I don't wanna get too deep into this.
Get deep.
I don't wanna get, okay, listen, listen, listen.
Ronaldo has Balon D'Ors that he should have won.
No, does Messi doesn't have any he should have won?
He got all the ones, so all the ones that Messi
he should have won.
He ain't get none he should have won.
And there's some that Messi had that he should not have won.
In some years, yes.
Ronaldo should have at least nine Ballon d'Ors.
So does Ronaldo have some he shouldn't have had?
No.
Oh, OK.
Because in each year that he won,
he obviously deserved them.
OK.
And there's more season that he does deserve them.
But he's.
I think it's a preference.
There's no preference.
Yes, there is.
There's no.
It's not universal.
Speed, it's not universal. Speed is not universal that
Ronaldo is the GOAT.
I guarantee you if you poll 100
