[Ishowspeed]

So look, I was just Streaming. You know Mr. Beast.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yes, I know. I do know Mr.

[Ishowspeed]

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, he 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. So I was like, noah, let's race, let's go. You know what I'm saying?

[Shannon Sharp]

Off the rip. I mean, that's your first time. Have you ever met Noah before?

[Ishowspeed]

Had you never talked to him, Never met him, never talked to no nothing. All I know is he the fast in 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 that my heart jumped. I'm like, I'm in Florida too. Yeah, I'm in Florida too. Then he was like. He was. He was like, I'm in Orlando. So I was like, miami, Orlando. It's a three hour drive. But you know what I did? I took that drive.

[Shannon Sharp]

You hopped in the whip?

[Ishowspeed]

Yep. Hopped in the car, took that three hour drive. No stretch. Literally. Random. I want to. It was a random Wednesday. And I. And I did it and I raced him.

[Shannon Sharp]

So how much training did you do before that race?

[Ishowspeed]

I didn't listen. Before the race, I'm in the car waiting because Mr. Beast has sent up, you know, his whole camera management. As I'm in the car, I'm looking at him, he's doing all these Olympic stretches, the, you know, the leg overs over.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ishowspeed]

You know, you do it.

[Shannon Sharp]

He doing all that.

[Ishowspeed]

Exactly. And I drove the whole time. So I'm in a 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.

[Shannon Sharp]

Right. So how serious do you think he took? It was he really trying to beat you?

[Ishowspeed]

Okay, Honestly. Honestly. Okay. He took it serious.

[Shannon Sharp]

Okay.

[Ishowspeed]

When he seen me, like, accelerated, like.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yeah. Cause you got out.

[Ishowspeed]

Exactly, exactly. When he seen, like, I was, like, accelerated, and it was there. He started taking it, 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. He took it serious.

[Shannon Sharp]

Right. What do you think would have happened had you actually beat him? You would have crashed the other day, huh?

[Ishowspeed]

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.

[Shannon Sharp]

But you want a rematch.

[Ishowspeed]

Yes, I do.

[Shannon Sharp]

But you go to take.

[Ishowspeed]

I believe I could beat him. I genuinely believe. I believe if we did a rematch that day, same 50 meters, I would have beat him.

[Shannon Sharp]

So. But this time, you're gonna get out and stretch. You're gonna make sure you loosen up office instead of just sitting in the car waiting for him.

[Ishowspeed]

Exactly. Exactly. Like. Yeah, exactly.

[Shannon Sharp]

But before Noah Lyles, there was a situation that was supposed to take place with you and Tyreek. Did you challenge Tyreek or Tyreek challenged him?

[Ishowspeed]

Tyreek, Tyreek, Tyreek. I challenged Tyreek. No, Tyreek challenged me first, and I challenged him back.

[Shannon Sharp]

Okay.

[Ishowspeed]

I think Tyreek was joking at first, but 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 texts 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'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.

[Shannon Sharp]

You think you can beat Tyreek?

[Ishowspeed]

100%. Oh, hold on.

[Shannon Sharp]

I want to know. You're going to race him in a 40 or 50?

[Ishowspeed]

40. I can be. I can beat Tyreek hill in a 40.

[Shannon Sharp]

So let me. So when. When you issue challenges to athletes or athletes issue challenge to you, you're like, okay, well, let's do it. You take it serious from that point on, because you don't duck. No. Smoke?

[Ishowspeed]

No.

[Shannon Sharp]

You don't turn nothing down.

[Ishowspeed]

No. No. I don't know. I don't duck, no. I Don't.

[Shannon Sharp]

So what type of athlete were you in high school? Did you participate in sporting events in high school? What. What went on with.

[Ishowspeed]

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 can't remember when 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 stream now.

[Shannon Sharp]

So what if. 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 want to offer you a scholarship to play football.

[Ishowspeed]

See, look. No, no, no.

[Shannon Sharp]

Football. Football. Okay. What about the run? Track?

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah. Track, maybe. Track, maybe. I think I'm a bit more flexible. Track, Right? I'm a bit more flexible, and I do have a chance to go in, like, in a 2028. Like, I believe I can be a professional track.

[Shannon Sharp]

Are you gonna train for it?

[Ishowspeed]

Yes, I could train. I. No, I believe that I could be in a Olympics for 2028. I believe that.

[Shannon Sharp]

So are you gonna train to try to be in the Olympics in 2028?

[Ishowspeed]

I got three years, man.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yes.

[Ishowspeed]

All it takes is me for one year. All it takes for me to. One year, to a full year of training for me. Like, I already got the speed already. Like, it's already in my legs. I just don't. I just don't got the technique right. Like, I have no technique. If I learn a technique, it's over. Bobby Kersey, I'd be. I almost be know. With no technique. None at all whatsoever. I never ran track a day in my life.

[Shannon Sharp]

Now you do. Noah's gonna watch this.

[Ishowspeed]

I know.

[Shannon Sharp]

And he's gonna call you out again. I know. And he's gonna take you serious. And he's gonna look to smoke you.

[Ishowspeed]

Now look. Now look, if it's a hundred meter, Noah, we.

[Shannon Sharp]

Now, you ain't touching him.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, I know. Okay.

[Shannon Sharp]

All right, let's keep it the victim, okay?

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah. Realistically, I'm not touching in 100 meter, but in 50 meter, if we do another 50 meter, it's over for you.

[Shannon Sharp]

It's over because did. Did you both have on sneakers or did you have.

[Ishowspeed]

No, we both had spikes on.

[Shannon Sharp]

Okay, you had both had track spikes, okay? Because you. You got out the Gate I'm gonna give you.

[Ishowspeed]

I never had spikes. That was my first time using spikes as well. Like really? Yes. Like I said, like in raw speed, I'm faster than Noah. Like if. Like if. If me and Noah was both born in some random village and Cambodia or something, and we both was 18. 18. And we both race 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.

[Shannon Sharp]

Do you train at all? So let me ask you a question. I understand that you stream an awful lot and it takes, 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. It is a full time job. So with that being said, how much time do you devote to activities other than streaming? So like playing basketball or running or jumping or doing everything, how much time do you put into that?

[Ishowspeed]

Rarely. Not at all, if you wanna be honest. Rarely. Like, I try to, like, I try to stay active. Cause I don't wanna become. But like my content is really active. Like my content is running, racing, I'm walking, traveling, you know, so I'm basically staying active. But I try to get in the gym, you know, just like four to five times a week for like 40 minutes. You know, I try to, like, I try to get my body just sustainable, but clearly not enough.

[Shannon Sharp]

The race is going to happen. They say it's going to happen. Noah and Tyreek, who you putting your money on?

[Ishowspeed]

Obviously it depends on the distance. 40 yards close. 40 yards close. Because no. Is not fast when he like, he.

[Shannon Sharp]

Doesn'T get out the block when it's.

[Ishowspeed]

Like when it first start. He's slow as. He's slow as shit.

[Shannon Sharp]

You do realize that the world fastest man. You talking about he's slow, Yo.

[Ishowspeed]

No, no. Yeah. No, no, no. I'm talking about in the beginning. He slow. Yeah, he's slow as shit. But Tyreek Hill has good, like he's small. He. He got good acceleration. It'll be close. I say I probably got Tyreek Hill.

[Shannon Sharp]

Do you know the distance yet? Is it a 40, 50 or 60 minute?

[Ishowspeed]

40? I got Tyreek Hill. 50. No, 50 and up Noah. Okay, 50 and up Noah.

[Shannon Sharp]

Do you want the winner? So the winner get the winner. Get out, get speed.

[Ishowspeed]

Hell yeah. I'm the final boss. I'm the final boss.

[Shannon Sharp]

You the final boss?

[Ishowspeed]

Yes. I'm serious.

[Shannon Sharp]

I'm looking at you. You are serious. You really do want the winner. And the thing is that you believe you can beat Tyreek or Noah Lyles.

[Ishowspeed]

Listen, Tyreek Hill is scared to race me.

[Shannon Sharp]

Do you hear this man?

[Ishowspeed]

Tyreek Hill, you are scared. Put your. Put. Okay, listen, Tyreek Hill, all jump aside. Put your career on the line. Put your contract on. Put your contract. Put everything on your line. 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 going to beat me, though. That's like. He's 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.

[Shannon Sharp]

To race, I think because maybe he's seen you run and like.

[Ishowspeed]

Okay, exactly.

[Shannon Sharp]

Even without technique, you do accelerate very well getting out of the blocks, and that's half the race. Because when you're dealing with comparable speed, guys that get. If I get out of 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.

[Ishowspeed]

Damn. Yes. Yes.

[Shannon Sharp]

How's that going to look? You talking about the world fastest man? Tyreek is probably, if not the fastest, one of the fastest men in the NFL. And Harold's a guy that all he does is Stream. 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 ain't gonna look good on us, man.

[Ishowspeed]

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.

[Shannon Sharp]

But you beat Travis. It wasn't even close with you in chat.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah. Travis Scott. Yeah. He's slow. He's slow. I need to run full speed. The last. Literally, the last time I ran full speed was against no allowance, right? And I like. I usually don't run full speed when I run against people. But, no, I ran full speed.

[Shannon Sharp]

So do people call you out or do you call them out or the little bit of.

[Ishowspeed]

They usually call me out because my name's Speed. So they try to take it as a joke. Oh, you speed, but you slow. Or race me. Then when I say race, I beat them. Then. You know, the joke's on them now.

[Shannon Sharp]

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 backward flips and like, okay. You're like, okay, I can do one. And then he told you to tuck. The technique of how do you supposed to tuck? And you did multiple rotations. Had you. Had you practiced any of that before?

[Ishowspeed]

Never. Never. That was my first time in a gym, bruh. In a gymnast?

[Shannon Sharp]

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.

[Ishowspeed]

I mean, it's just. I don't know. Like, you can't really. 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.

[Shannon Sharp]

So you're like a. You're a very visual learning type of person. You need. You need to see somebody do it. So somebody, like, they're trying to explain it to you. Like, you don't get the comprehension of it, but once you see that person do it.

[Ishowspeed]

Exactly.

[Shannon Sharp]

Oh, okay.

[Ishowspeed]

Exactly. Exactly.

[Shannon Sharp]

So if I were to put you. If I gave you. I'm gonna give you a month to train. How fast you think you run? The 40.

[Ishowspeed]

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.

[Shannon Sharp]

3.

[Ishowspeed]

4, 3.

[Shannon Sharp]

So I guess now you want to 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.

[Ishowspeed]

Yes, sir. I'm serious. You keep laughing. Hey, I'm serious. I'm serious.

[Shannon Sharp]

Why? Why. Why is it. Why do you want. Why do you feel. Why do you want to beat NFL players or the fastest man?

[Ishowspeed]

Because they're not fast. Like, they're not fast.

[Shannon Sharp]

Like, maybe they are fast, but maybe you're fast also.

[Ishowspeed]

Exactly. Like, when I know I'm faster than somebody and people like, oh, my God, they're so fast. I'm like, no. Like, they're not fast.

[Shannon Sharp]

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?

[Ishowspeed]

To be honest, I probably would have like, ah, that's not my calling. I mean, listen, I respect track, I love track. But I feel like it was maybe something bigger. Like. Yeah, like I can still run track, you know, I can still be good at track, but I feel like it was something bigger than track.

[Shannon Sharp]

Right. I saw you. You caught a pass on Sauce Gardener. So now you, now you wide receiver. Now you trying to go out there and. And put work in on DBs. Not just any DB.

[Ishowspeed]

Listen, all the DBs out. Okay, this is another one. All the DBs out there. Jalen Ramsey, whoever, cooking.

[Shannon Sharp]

It's just charity at that point. Like, I don't know. I don't even know. It's late. Jake Paul, I don't even know what he's even thinking. Like, he's not beating me.

[Shannon Sharp]

Like, so no professional, no non professional athlete is going to beat you in a race?

[Ishowspeed]

No. No.

[Shannon Sharp]

So you're the fastest YouTuber, content creator, social media, whatever you want to say. If you're not an athlete, you're not outrunning speed.

[Ishowspeed]

No, you're just not. The only race I lost in my whole life was against a Olympic.

[Shannon Sharp]

Olympic champion.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, exactly. So that, that shows a lot.

[Shannon Sharp]

It does, it does. It shows that you are. You are very confident young man.

[Ishowspeed]

Even, even any NFL. Any, any, any NFL player, they can't beat me. Tyreek Hill is the only person that I see. I'm like, okay, what about Xavier Worthy?

[Shannon Sharp]

He had the fastest time in combine history.

[Ishowspeed]

He's not beaming.

[Shannon Sharp]

Come on now, speed.

[Ishowspeed]

He's not.

[Shannon Sharp]

He's.

[Ishowspeed]

He's not beaming.

[Shannon Sharp]

So you mean to tell me the fastest man in the world doesn't run Track. He's on YouTube.

[Ishowspeed]

Yes. My name is Speed for a reason.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yeah. I'm not saying, hey, Yes.

[Ishowspeed]

I mean, like, did you not just watch the no allows race, right?

[Shannon Sharp]

Yes.

[Ishowspeed]

Like, does that not picture. Does that not help you think that I'm not the fastest?

[Shannon Sharp]

I do believe you're fast. I think people. 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 Lyles is a professional runner, right? He's a professional sprinter. And the race was probably a lot closer than people thought it was gonna be. But then again, I think people thinking, man, Noah didn't take him serious. Noah was.

[Ishowspeed]

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. He didn't want that. No, no.

[Shannon Sharp]

The fight last night, Jake Paul, Mike Tyson. What do you think?

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, I watched it. I stayed up and watched it, and, man, I was just like. Like, so look when it started. When I watched it, when it started, like, you know, they coming out. Mike Tyson, he got the look. I'm like, oh, my God. Like, I never seen Mike Tyson fight a day in my life. You know, I'm 19. I never seen a. I never seen no box. Jake Paul. I seen no box. And I thought Mike Tyson was gonna really do bad, but, you know, age just shows, you know? And, like, that's what I realized. I was like, wow. Age is. Age is really a thing.

[Shannon Sharp]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Ishowspeed]

Age is really a thing. And it showed in that fight. You know, he was. It just wasn't there.

[Shannon Sharp]

No, it wasn't legs. The mind is willing, but the body isn't able.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, exactly.

[Shannon Sharp]

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 static and just lift a lot of weight, that's one thing. But when you gotta move, boxing, when you gotta run, that's something entirely different.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah. Like, I felt like fighting Jay Paul when I seen it, to be honest.

[Shannon Sharp]

That might be. That. That might. Now, you might need to stay away from that. You're not quite big enough.

[Ishowspeed]

Come on, now. Don't stop it.

[Shannon Sharp]

Speed.

[Ishowspeed]

I can fight, too. I can. Listen, I believe it. I can do any sport, but it needs to. If I have six months. If I have six months just to learn a sport, I'm a professional at that sport.

[Shannon Sharp]

But.

[Ishowspeed]

But what.

[Shannon Sharp]

What about the size? Discrepancy. There's a reason why they have weight classes. There's a reason. Middleweight, welterweight, bantamweight, straw weight, fly weight, super middle, light, heavy cruiser.

[Ishowspeed]

It's all in ounces in the gloves.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yeah. What is it? 135. You're fighting like 8 ounce glove. 135 or above, you're fighting 10 ounces.

[Ishowspeed]

Doesn't matter. To be honest, when I would listen, I jumped over a car. When I believe I can do something, like, and I like, if I look at something and I believe I can do it, I know I could do it.

[Shannon Sharp]

There's that. I'm not saying that you couldn't box.

[Ishowspeed]

No, I'm saying I could be Jake Paul and you're like weight classes. I'm saying I think I could be Jake Paul in a fight too. Even, even if the weight class is different.

[Shannon Sharp]

Okay. I'm not, I'm not going. So let me ask you a question. So would you do a celebrity boxing match?

[Ishowspeed]

I will. But again, nobody wants to box me. No content creator wants to box me. Kai doesn't want to box me. Nobody wants to box me. Nobody. No controversy, no streamer out there. They're like no speed. Oh, he's going to like nobody because they know like that I can really do this. Nobody wants to box me. No content creator out there wants to fight. That's why I haven't had a boxing match yet.

[Shannon Sharp]

But Jake Paul is a content creator and he boxes.

[Ishowspeed]

You still on this Jake Paul thing?

[Shannon Sharp]

No, I'm just saying. You said nobody, but I'm just saying there, there's one guy that I can only think of off the top of my head. I don't think.

[Ishowspeed]

Listen, listen, I get that, but I'd rather for my first fight, fight somebody that's like 165, 170.

[Shannon Sharp]

Right? Yeah, the, you know, Jake weighed in like 227 last night.

[Ishowspeed]

Right. And I'm 165.

[Shannon Sharp]

I've been trying to tell you that for the last five.

[Ishowspeed]

I know, I'm, I just don't want to fight Jake Paul for my first fight. I don't want to do that.

[Shannon Sharp]

You want to warm up?

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, exactly like. Yeah, just. That's later, right?

[Shannon Sharp]

Hold on. KSI, would you listen?

[Ishowspeed]

I fought KSI before. It was a sparrow. 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 said, as long as I have a few months to train, I got it.

[Shannon Sharp]

Of all the sports that you've competed in, is boxing the hardest?

[Ishowspeed]

Oh, I'm gonna be honest. Yeah, because, like, once you learn. Because, like, I learned a 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 enough sparring matches as you can just to get used to the fuel. And once I get used to the field, I got it.

[Shannon Sharp]

Well, I saw you had a sparring session with Manny Pacquiao.

[Ishowspeed]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharp]

And he threw a body punch.

[Ishowspeed]

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.

[Shannon Sharp]

Speed. You do realize this man, he's the only man, eight time champ. Eight divisions.

[Ishowspeed]

I said work him. I'm quick, though. I got fast. I'm quick.

[Shannon Sharp]

You. But the sad thing is, you actually believe that you could have gave Manny Pacquiao some work?

[Ishowspeed]

Some. Yes, some work. I'm not saying I'm. Oh, I'm whooping his ass, but I'm giving him some work.

[Shannon Sharp]

I mean, you like what? Give him some work, like chopping him, you know? Oh, so you gonna touch Manny Pacquiao?

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharp]

Lord have mercy.

[Ishowspeed]

Ooh.

[Shannon Sharp]

So let me ask you a question. So when he hit you with the body shot, what went through your mind?

[Ishowspeed]

I was hurting. What you mean, what went through my mind?

[Shannon Sharp]

So that's what you're doing? Boxing. So what's up? He didn't touch your face?

[Ishowspeed]

We was only going body.

[Shannon Sharp]

Thank you.

[Ishowspeed]

And I've got. Listen, listen.

[Shannon Sharp]

So what'd you do? You overextended?

[Ishowspeed]

Yes, I left myself open on purpose. So just to see if he.

[Shannon Sharp]

Oh, you. Oh, you wanted to see what a body shot felt like.

[Ishowspeed]

Exactly.

[Shannon Sharp]

So you understand now why Ryan crumbled when Javante caught in with a body shot?

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, yeah. But you don't feel it after. I don't know why Ryan ain't get up, to be honest. You feel it for like 30 seconds, but you get.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yeah, that's time. You know, you only get the 10.

[Ishowspeed]

Oh, yeah, you right, you right, you right.

[Shannon Sharp]

I mean. Cause 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 like, man, get.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharp]

You feel like, man, you Trying to breathe. You're trying to say something, but you can't say anything right. And so, yeah, it's. 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? Cause it's different than being in there. Like, okay, I'm here with a regular guy.

[Ishowspeed]

I mean, listen, many. Like, he wasn't taking it serious. He was doing that little face, you know, he was doing, just smiling.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yeah.

[Ishowspeed]

So I tried to, like, you know, I try to, like, really try to tick him off a little bit, tag him a little bit so we can take it a bit serious. Cause, like, I want to get an actual spar.

[Shannon Sharp]

So you wanted to get touched for real to see what it feels like.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, exactly. So I wanted really him to really lock in. So I tried 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. We was doing a body thing. Then I left myself open, you know, just to see what it feel like, and he tagged me.

[Shannon Sharp]

Who's your goat? A Floyd. You like Floyd? Would you fight Florida next exhibition fight?

[Ishowspeed]

Yes. Yeah, I will.

[Shannon Sharp]

You get Floyd, I believe.

[Ishowspeed]

But I'm a Manny Pacquiao fan. I think many Pacquiao to 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.

[Shannon Sharp]

But you would in an exhibition. You try your hand at Floyd.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, Floyd.

[Shannon Sharp]

Make it happen, Floyd.

[Ishowspeed]

Hey, Floyd. You don't want the work either, bro. I promise you, Floyd, six months. Let's go.

[Shannon Sharp]

You do realize, like, Floyd, take this stuff serious.

[Ishowspeed]

I take it serious, too.

[Shannon Sharp]

No, but I'm.

[Ishowspeed]

I'm not trolling. Listen, listen. I'm not talking on my ass. I'm not trolling. Like I said, if I have six months, I can do this.

[Shannon Sharp]

Are you gonna take. If Floyd. People reach out to your people and says, okay, let's put something together in spring, early spring, April, May. You down to make that happen?

[Ishowspeed]

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. Come on, Floyd.

[Shannon Sharp]

Because Floyd did fight. He fought Logan.

[Ishowspeed]

He fought Logan, but he won't fight me, though. I don't think he'll fight me.

[Shannon Sharp]

Why?

[Ishowspeed]

I don't think, like, I don't think like, like professional athletes always try to stray away from me, you know? Cause they know that anything can happen. So I don't. So I like, I think Floyd might be pretty like scared and antsy.

[Shannon Sharp]

I don't know if Floyd really.

[Ishowspeed]

Because I 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. He like, nah, man, I don't want to do it to you. I'm like, okay.

[Shannon Sharp]

But you do realize in that man's profession, that man, if he just boxing somebody, you do realize speed to understand that man hands is, is a lethal weapons.

[Ishowspeed]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharp]

And you're not a professional boxer. So if he loves you, what's. What's the benefit in it if he lumps you up?

[Ishowspeed]

What do you mean? But that, that's not going to happen though. That's the thing. That's not going to happen.

[Shannon Sharp]

So mma, that's you. You want to try mma, right?

[Ishowspeed]

Nah, I don't, I don't know about mma. That one's just too brutal. They elbow like. I don't. That's just.

[Shannon Sharp]

Did you choke that Aiden? Who choked that Aiden? Was that you?

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, it was me. It was me.

[Shannon Sharp]

You choked the man out?

[Ishowspeed]

Yep.

[Shannon Sharp]

Well, you know what? I think you'd be great at mma, so I got you something.

[Ishowspeed]

What?

[Shannon Sharp]

I went shopping on Amazon 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, with as confident as you are. I bought you a gift off Amazon. I think you're gonna really like this.

[Ishowspeed]

Oh, he just put out an Amazon. Oh, so. Oh, you really want me to fight you, you really want me to fight? You know how to fight?

[Shannon Sharp]

Fight? Boxing and fighting is two different things.

[Ishowspeed]

No, it. Thank you, Shannon.

[Shannon Sharp]

I mean, you got a. I mean them four ounce gloves, man. I don't speed like you said that mma. Elbow, knee.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharp]

Foot.

[Ishowspeed]

That's why, that's why MMA is kind of tricky on that one. I don't. It's just too like brutal. Like, you know.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yeah, they different because you call them out, they gonna say, they gonna accept, they gonna excel. Yeah.

[Ishowspeed]

So ufc, but so when you choke.

[Shannon Sharp]

That Aiden Rose, if I'm not mistaken, Dana was there, right? Yeah.

[Ishowspeed]

Dana White. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yeah. And you just. You. You made the man. You choked the man out.

[Ishowspeed]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharp]

How did you. How did you Know who taught you that technique? Are you just watching just wrestling.

[Ishowspeed]

You know wrestling as a kid. You know, just playing with your cousins. Wrestling? Yeah, just a move, just a chokeout move.

[Shannon Sharp]

So you the fastest, you the fastest YouTuber streamer. You're the most athletic YouTube streamer. You're the most physical YouTube screen streamer. You're the most gifted YouTube streamer, Internet person. Is there anybody that's in the social media space that creates content that can.

[Ishowspeed]

Beat you in anything, be mean anything? What do you mean anything? Like what?

[Shannon Sharp]

Like you said, nobody's gonna beat you racing. Oh that, 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. Do. Is there anybody that create content that could inbox. Could outbox you?

[Ishowspeed]

[Ishowspeed]

There's no, there's no. Answer's no. Answer's no. I can't think of one. And no.

[Shannon Sharp]

Logan Paul gifted you. I saw glo gifted you $100,000 Tesla truck after you were hit by Randy Orton with the rtl.

[Ishowspeed]

Uhhuh.

[Shannon Sharp]

So let me ask you a question. You stream and that takes a lot of time. Cuz I understand how creating content, where do you find the time to say, you know what, I'm going to try that, I'm going to do that.

[Ishowspeed]

What do you mean?

[Shannon Sharp]

I mean because you man, bro, I see you like one day you in Japan, the next day you somewhere else, you back in the States. Do 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, take into account you're 19, you have a boundless energy. But where do you find the time to do all the stuff that you do outside of streaming?

[Ishowspeed]

Outside of.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yeah, like the, the, the race of no allows. You say that that's a part, that's a part of it. The Randy Orton RKO stuff like that? Yes, yes.

[Ishowspeed]

I mean planes exist. It's planes, you know, that's the, that's the plain old answer, you know, planes. And I'm just. Planes.

[Shannon Sharp]

How much sleep do you get? Are you a sleeper? No, I was gonna say no way you can sleep.

[Ishowspeed]

No, no, I get about six, seven hours.

[Shannon Sharp]

That's pretty good. So how long, how long do you stream per day or do you stream every day? Every Other day, I stream.

[Ishowspeed]

I stream most of the day. I stream. And if I do stream, I stream about 4 to 5 hours.

[Shannon Sharp]

Non stop.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, non stop. When I'm not streaming, I'm brainstorming, you know, on what I want to do.

[Shannon Sharp]

Okay.

[Ishowspeed]

In terms of content.

[Shannon Sharp]

So, yeah, as a child, you said. I mean, listening. That 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.

[Ishowspeed]

What, eight. Oh, like what point in my life? Yes. So I started. You remember Covid, right? 2020.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yes, yes.

[Ishowspeed]

2020, Covid. I just felt so. Like I was around 14. I like, you know, I just felt. Was I 14? Yeah, no, I was 15. Yeah, I was 15. 15, 20, 20, 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. Cause, like, you know. Cause I. Cause I always loved games.

[Shannon Sharp]

Always.

[Ishowspeed]

I was always a gamer as a kid. And I made, like, videos when 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 pretty much where my life changed. I sparked that first stream up. I gained two viewers. Or was it one? It was the. It was the one of them. Two viewers. I had that one viewer, and that viewer made me, like, 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 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.

[Shannon Sharp]

How would. How did your parents take to that? That you had. Like you. You said you had given up on everything.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharp]

Except streaming. I'm pretty sure they weren't as happy about this as you were.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, yeah, that was bad. So as I was streaming, there was a clip that kind of blown up. It was on War. So you remember War Star, right? It wasn't like. 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 Star. My mom seen the video, she's like, what are you doing? Blah, blah. Why is everybody talking about you like online? Blah, blah, blah. Because it was like, hate comments. So she kicked me out.

[Shannon Sharp]

Kicked you out where?

[Ishowspeed]

No, she told me to quit.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yeah.

[Ishowspeed]

Or I'm leaving. Like, you know, or like, you can't do this in my house. So I'm like, I'm out.

[Shannon Sharp]

Really?

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, I was like, I'm out, you know, Like, I'm not about to stop. Like, I was. I was already averaging like 20 viewers. I had like a two. A thousand subs. 2,000 subs, right? Like, I'm already going. So I'm like. And once I start something, I'm not stopping, right? So wait, give me 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 doesn't know what was going on, right. 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.

[Shannon Sharp]

So once you started doing it, you're gaining a thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty, forty thousand. And you become what you've become. What was the first thing you purchased?

[Ishowspeed]

You know what'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 probably just buy my mom a house. That's probably like. Like I was never like a guy. Like, oh, I wanted a chain or I wanted that clothes or I wanted that.

[Shannon Sharp]

This, you know, the car guy.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah. And plus, I was 16. I was 16. I didn't know what to do, right. I didn't want a car because I didn't like to 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, you know.

[Shannon Sharp]

So what age you become a millionaire when you were 16, when you became a millionaire. Oh, because you started. You say you started 15 during COVID.

[Ishowspeed]

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.

[Shannon Sharp]

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?

[Ishowspeed]

If you wanna be honest, I was. It's kind of so crazy, you know, when I think back on it, but I was genuinely as a 16 year old kid, I was just so locked in, like just on what? Like on my craft. 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.

[Shannon Sharp]

Let me go back. You said your mom says if you don't, 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 where your father didn't finish school?

[Ishowspeed]

Oh, listen, okay, okay. So I dropped out my sophomore year. I was failing all my grades my sophomore year. 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.

[Shannon Sharp]

Okay, okay.

[Ishowspeed]

So I gained my credit for my sophomore year and my junior. Cause my mom, she was on it, she put me in an online class. Well, we tried this like a public school, but that didn't last a month. Cause you know, I was already famous. Whatever. But anyways, I got into my online class, my mom locked me in. Cause she wanted me to get my diploma. Yeah, she wanted me to get my diploma. So she blocked me back in. But you know, I made my ways and I graduated.

[Shannon Sharp]

Okay.

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharp]

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.

[Ishowspeed]

Were like, 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.

[Shannon Sharp]

Right.

[Ishowspeed]

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 bought a chain?

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, it was a chain because, 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 and I'm like, oh, you got to buy something. Yeah, like, I got to buy something. Bought me a few cars. Buy me a chain.

[Shannon Sharp]

What type of car you get?

[Ishowspeed]

I got me. I got two. I got a Lamborghini and I got a Urus.

[Shannon Sharp]

Okay, so you got the car and the suv.

[Ishowspeed]

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.

[Shannon Sharp]

Right.

[Ishowspeed]

Bought the chain. Heaven Warden. I just don't wear it.

[Shannon Sharp]

So what. What is it? Is it is a Cuban. Is it. Does it have speed on it?

[Ishowspeed]

I bought a. Yeah, it was a $50,000 chain. It was. I don't know. Yes, like a cumulink, like Ronaldo chain. Yeah, whatever.

[Shannon Sharp]

Right.

[Ishowspeed]

But it's a good chain. I just never wear it. Like it was just a waste because I don't wear the chain.

[Shannon Sharp]

Right. So what. 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?

[Ishowspeed]

What I learned most about money? Money talks. First of all, money, just money kind of runs his world, you know? And you gotta 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 what life, what runs on.

[Shannon Sharp]

You have a great team around you. They talk to you about, like, I don't know how long you want to do this? I don't know if you have any other, what is it, hobbies or anything that you want to do outside of this once this is over. So how long do you want to stream? How long do you want to do this? As long as you can, do you see an end date and do something else?

[Ishowspeed]

I love streaming. You know, I want to really, really perfect it. Like, 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 going to stop. It's not going to stop.

[Shannon Sharp]

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. That's a big thing for you. But what do your team tell you about investing? Like, I don't know, speed, we can't save the world.

[Ishowspeed]

What do you mean by that?

[Shannon Sharp]

What I'm saying, like, you said that you want to help people.

[Ishowspeed]

Yep.

[Shannon Sharp]

And as far as, like, your team saying, you know, we gotta make sure we invest X, Y and z. But you say you carry cash because you want to help people, have your team. Cause I had the same thing. Cause I got a big heart and I want to help. And my team's like, shannon, you can't save the world.

[Ishowspeed]

Exactly. That's true. But if you run 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 feed. Like, I was just walking down in Michigan, some dude was walking down, yo, I want to feed my daughter some ramen noodles, blah, blah. Gave him like 200 ball, you know, like, just. I'm talking about stuff like that. I get it, I get it. We can't save the world, right? But if somebody need it and somebody need help, give them that. And plus, if you got it right, you Know, so I try to like, I'm always sending people money. I'm always sending people money just to help out and it comes to family, friends, supporters, anything. Is this.

[Shannon Sharp]

Is it hard for you to say no?

[Ishowspeed]

Oh, no, it's not. You know, obviously I asked like you're like what you need it for, you know, just. But no, it's not hard for me to say no.

[Shannon Sharp]

[Ishowspeed]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharp]

Wow.

[Ishowspeed]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharp]

You have a Ronaldo themed Lamborghini and a. So that's what it is. You have the chain that's kind of like what he has like a Ronaldo themed chain and a 200,000 or 200 plus thousand dollar Lambo. Does, I guess. Does Ronaldo have Lambo? Because clearly I think you've been to it home.

[Ishowspeed]

[Shannon Sharp]

You haven't been to his home?

[Ishowspeed]

[Shannon Sharp]

When did you have this? I mean, you're a big soccer fan, I'm assuming. So when did football. Okay, when did you have this Infinity with Ronaldo and like, man, I really.

[Ishowspeed]

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 the way they live. So when I seen Ronaldo, when I seen how he, you know, he lives, talks how. The way, how his career was, you know, like his career is a legacy.

[Shannon Sharp]

Yes.

[Ishowspeed]

Everything just a legacy. So. And that's what I really like about him.

[Shannon Sharp]

Is it true that you got Ronaldo's face tatted on you?

[Ishowspeed]

Yeah, right here.

[Shannon Sharp]

And Messi's jersey number? 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. You're biased towards Ronaldo.

And there's some that Messi had that he should not have won.

[Shannon Sharp]

Huh?

[Ishowspeed]

In some years. Yes.

[Shannon Sharp]

[Ishowspeed]

Ronaldo should have at least non Ballon d'ors.

[Shannon Sharp]

So does Ronaldo have some he shouldn't have had?

[Ishowspeed]

No.

[Shannon Sharp]

Oh, okay.

[Ishowspeed]

Cause in each year that he won, he obviously deserved them.

[Shannon Sharp]

Okay.
