MONOstreaming18:29

Transcription

From how things went sideways with his mother: "Chill, well, you chill, stop. I mean, no, you stop!" to the bond between Speed and his father: "Stay till the end; we're revealing the real truth about Speed's mother." To start all this, we need to go back in time, to when Speed was a kid. His father divorced and lost the lawsuit against Speed's mom, forcing him to move out without the kids. Although he had to live separately, he always looked out for his children. Stick around; later in this video, we're going to talk all about it. But before that, let's talk about how Speed lived with his mom.

[ __ ] "Come on, turn me up! Shut the hell up! Hey, you're good, you're good. Hey, you good? Chill, well, you chill, stop. I mean it, no, you stop talking to people like that! Cut it out! Not in my house, and not with your siblings in here. I mean it!" At this point, Speed was living with his mom, and it was the most challenging part of his life. We all know how Speed celebrates his subscriber milestones, but this was the worst milestone ever for him.

"Come on, let's go! Let's go! Let's [Music] go! Let's go! I swear to God! Say the... Hey man, I love y'all boys, man. I love y'all boys, bro. You know what, bro? I'm not about to let a... You know what? I will on my... You know what? I want to yell so bad, you feel me? I don't... You feel me? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? Bro, you know what? You know? You know? You know? Hell no! Hell no! Say 7k! Say 7k! Say k! Mom! Come on! I don't give a... All right, okay, okay. All right, I don't give a... All right, I'm going to be on the recording. Okay, all right, all right." That was embarrassing, but you know what? "CH, I'm sorry, I got to... In this... This is very embarrassing, you feel me? But you know what? I'm not about to let... Bring me down. I'm not about to let that bring me down, you feel me? We going to get hype! I know, I know, I... I don't give a, cuz we not going to let that bring that down, bro. You feel me? Yeah, yeah, yes! That's L, you feel me? But I... Yeah, like, come on! I just want... Oh, my mom! I just want to yell, bro! I can't get hype! Like, I can't get hype being silent, bro! Like, I want to get hype as... I can't get..."

Speed didn't even get a chance to celebrate after that stream. He uploaded a video apologizing to his audience: "Y'all, apologize. We could celebrate this uh, special how we usually do, man. I really apologize, the bottom of my heart, man. I just got done, you feel me? Turning out, man. I... I really wish we could just celebrate our such special how you do, man. I'm sorry, man, but it's just... Hey, I'm sorry. Y... Like, I really am. I really am sorry. We could celebrate how we usually did, man. I swear to God, I'm sorry, man. I love y'all boys to death, man. I really love y'all... Bo... Everybody who showed out to that stream today, man. Everybody, dog, you feel me? Even if we did, you feel me? Even if we really didn't really get hype, man. We got hyped in our soul, bro. You feel me? Bro, you feel me? I still got hype, but I really couldn't get hype. I really wanted to do, man. But anyways, man, I love y'all boys, man. Big 600k, man. You feel me? I really appreciate y'all boys, man. I just... I'm sorry we could really celebrate. I love y'all boys, though, man. Big 600k, man. Sub special. Y'all hit that like button right now, y'all. Come on, y'all. Big 600k, man. Get hype, bro! Just get hype for me, y'all, cuz I can't get hype, dog. I love y'all, boy."

Speed cares about his family, and every time his mom asks for money, he doesn't hesitate. "Let me in, huh? Let me in! I'm doing something right now. M... I don't care! I need change! You need what? Change? What? Like some money? Yes! 15! You got..." But this is what he got in return: "Damn! M... Popping up there, J... This is embarrassing. I'm not going to lie; that was embarrassing."

In another stream, while Speed was gaming and having a wild time with his friends, his mom suddenly walked in and hit him on stream. The moment left him totally embarrassed. "That's what your auntie did, a... Bro, what is you doing? Quick... Cing... Damn, man! No, no, no, no, no! I'm talking about the game! Then his friends started roasting him, making the situation even worse for Speed. "Talking about game... Your mama going crazy on yo... Yo, what's up? [Music] [Music] Dog..."

Speed was so mad and complained about how hard it is to stream at his mom's house: "When it's 8:23 p.m., 8:23 p.m., 8:23 p.m., bro! Not even being L, bro! Damn, dog! Can't stand it on my mama, no, bro! On some real [ __ ] bro! It's not even funny, though! Like, I... Bro, like... No, bro! Some real [ __ ] bro! And a evening funny, bro! Sick bro! Like, real bro is annoying as... I can't do... Bro, what you mean? Be quiet! It's... Be... Be quiet! It's 8:23. It's... It's 8:24 p.m. This the reason, CH, if y'all wonder why I start my streams early, it's because of her! That's the reason why I'm starting my streams early, cuz she got a rule of saying, 'Be... Everybody... Everything's... Everybody needs to be quiet at 11:00 p.m.' So basically, nobody can't make noise at 11:00 p.m. So you... So chat, y'all know what I'm doing? I start my stream up early, right? I start my stream up early, 8:00, and she still got a problem! Come on now, bro! Come on now, dog, man!"

Speed's mom didn't stop there. One time, she shut off the Wi-Fi to cut his stream. "Mom, get out! So now my mom want to come off the internet! Now my mom want to cut off the internet! My mom want to cut off the internet while I'm sitting here on YouTube doing what I love to do! You see y'? That sound? I want to... Off the internet! Why you put off the internet? Because you know why! I ask you to quit cussing! Quit cussing! Quit cussing! Do that make sense? I'm a man!"

As soon as he turned 18, he made the long-awaited decision to live on his own. This was the most important decision of Speed's life, and from that moment, everything changed. He also grew even closer to his dad. "As you guys know, I've been living with my mother for the past 209 years, you know what I'm saying? I've been... You know, I've been living with my mother for a very long time. So, chat, I will be officially, for the first time in my life, I'll be moving out of my mother, and I'll be Liv... living on my own for the first time in my life. For me, this is a very big thing for me, you know, cuz I've been... Cuz I've been Liv... with my mother for a very, very, very long time. So it's happening very, very soon. But it's happening very, very soon. I'll be moving out. You know..."

Unlike Speed's mother, he and his dad are like homies; they actually act more like brothers than father and son. "My boy, do a Thanksgiving bark! Happy Thanksgiving! That's better! [Music] CH, I'mma bring my dad in here to make you feel complete! I show... Make you feel complete! Want to play me, bro?"

One time, Speed showed his dad his search history and pulled a hilarious prank on him. "Just press this button! Press... Oops! Press that! You press it! Yes! Wait! Wait! Enter! What the heck? Enter! What? Dude, you got a sick mind, man! Hot jocks... Releases... Release energy... What is fisting? I'm sorry, Dad! What is... Do they do it like this?"

"Do you guys remember this chica? I miss you, on my... You chica, you baby! What happened to you? Oh my God, you look awful!" After this scene went viral, people started calling him "I show meat," but the best part: his dad made a whole song about it. When Speed found out, he was mad as hell and definitely not feeling it. "I show the me... Oh mying God! You have to be kidding me right now! You have to be kidding me right now! There's no way! My dad may... I show the me song, bro! You just made aing song about the worst situation that ever happened to me in a day in my life! Dad! My dad made a song that ruined my life, and he thinks it's off! Dad! No! I'm about to beat your ass! I'm about to beat the... Out of you! Dad! Oh God! You're not my daddy no more, bro! I'm never calling your... On my... B... No, bro! The... Is going on with this, bro! I'm about to... Chat, I swear to God, bro! What the... Is my dad doing, bro? I swear to God, this [ __ ]... He... He don't get it, bro! I might got a real life fight my dad! I'm not playing with y'all, bro! I might got a real out fight my dad, bro! He just made this... Just made a song about I show to me! I told him... BR... My dad... This is my dad, chat! Keep that in mind! That's my dad and my little brother Jamal! So that's Jamal, my dad, and my... Unle... Y'all... M... You... CH... I'm about to leak my dad's number, bro! And he's dancing! You doing all these Michael Jackson moves! And why you talking about my me?"

After he finished watching the song, he wasted no time calling his dad, and what happened next was crazy [ __ ]. "Dad! Hello? What's the matter? What the... Dad? What was that video? Dad? You don't like the banger? Dad? This is not... This is a private talk, and I'm being serious right now! Okay, okay! My bad! I'm like... Like, I'm being really serious! Like, I'm being serious! I'm like... I'm about to really cry, dude! You are not... Eyes... Show to me! I'm... Is show me! I am... I show me! You ain't me! You are... I show Steve! I have two names! I'm Daddy Speed and I... Dad! Bro, I'm being serious! I'm not playing! Okay, all right! D... I'm being serious, bro! I'm sorry, man! Like, I'm really being serious! Dad! You not listening to what I'm saying! Dad! You not listening! This is real now!"

Speed is enjoying his life so much. "Love you all right, y'all! We got our first house, y'all! I got some candy! Wait, that... What is that fit you got on? I don't know! This is my apron, cuz I showed a me to make you feel compl... The... Come on, Dad! Cut it out! Cut it out! Like... CH... Come on [ __ ]! Yeah, you a grown man! We going this way! No! He a grown man! Alone! Me alone! Leave me alone! Don't you do it! Get your... Bro! Get these weird... Damn! Dad! You a gr... No! I'm not! Not today! Dad! You are not today! Look at this...it! Dad! What are you doing? Not today! You are a grown man! I'm grown, but not today! Got me in this... Why you behind? Dad! This is how he truly sees his dad! Super... I love you, Dad! You are my inspiration! I love you, Dad! You're my inspiration!"

"That was huge, man! That touched me, dude! JT... WX... N... WLD... D donated $1.9! Thanks, man! Can you say hi? Y... That was deep, man! When they were little, Speed's dad went through a lot of hard times for his kids, man. We are so happy for Speed! W... Speed! W... Dad! I don't know the name of this team! I don't know what that means! I don't know what the colors mean! All... All I know is that it's a messy jersey, and I'm about to let Speed see me in this! So let's see how he going to react to [Music] this! Bro, take this off!"

The hard truth is difficult to swallow. We don't need to hate Speed's mom. This is all normal. Just think about Speed doing all those crazy things in her house: the yelling, the chaos. For one second, imagine if you did the same things. How would your parents react? "Hey, you're good, you're good. Hey, you good? Chill, well, you chill, stop. I mean it, no you stop! Fu... You talking to people like that! Cut it out! Not in my house, and not with your siblings in here! And I mean it! I'm not in the mood right now, man! I'm not in the mood! I'm not in the mood right now! Worst thing... No, I'm... I'm straight! I'm straight! I'm not in the move! I just... I already hear my... I already hear my head! I'm... I'm straight! Straight, too! I'm straight..."

Speed curses and yells while his mom is only asking him not to do that. He has siblings, and she just cares about him and his brother. One time when Speed got swatted, she was there for him. "Listen to me! Someone called a 911 Center and said with your name that you wanted to hurt your family and hurt yourself, so we came... We came to make sure you're okay. All right, just listen to me. Okay, I am a popular streamer! I am a YouTuber! Okay, I have 10... Let me talk! So guess what? Okay, okay. You mom... They prank at my house. Are you Mom? Yes! They prank my... They prank our house all the time. Okay, well, let us figure it out! Oh my God! We were concerned! This about to stop! No! Y'all taking my son over! Keep pranking my son! Y'got him in handcuffs right now! Well, we're going to make sure he doesn't want to harm himself! He ain't going to harm himself in our house right now! Friend... Pleas... Come here! I'm on your side! I got five kids! Calm down! First hand for no reason! Well, because people were called saying he wanted to kill you! I don't know if you knew that, but we didn't know that! Yeah, they called and said he had in the gun, want to kills mother! He ain't no guns a... Well, come talk to us! We can let him out of cuffs! He about to go with us! But because of school shootings, we take it serious! I understand that! He's not about to kill nobody! He is constant pranks! Constant prank! Hey, sorry!"

At first, she didn't support Speed, like any typical mother would. She cared about his future. She didn't know anything about streaming; she just wanted him to have a good life. Think about it for a second: if after college you decided to fully commit to streaming, sacrificing everything, how would your parents react? I think there's nothing abnormal about that. "And the winner, Mr. Universe, is... I show... [Music] Speed! Yeah, boy!"

"That's about it! Appreciate the whole world! Appreciate all my fans! Love y'all! That's [Music] my... Just look at how proud she is right now! And the Streamer of the Year award goes to... I go... [Music] Man! Framer of the year! That's a crazy one! But look, I want to thank a lot of people! I want to thank my mom, my dad, the countries that allow me to, you know, streaming them places, you know? I want to... I want to thank everybody!"

The sad truth is that now Speed has to protect his mom from the toxic fanbase. Despite everything, his success is bringing his family together, and now he is happy. The past is the past, and everything is good now. "House supportive! I mean, obviously, you know your mom... You bought your mom a house! He wasn't at first, like when you said you wanted to stream, she like, uh-uh! We got to... We going to get you out of school, so forth and so on. So, having a family that supports you in what you wanted to do, how instrumental was that in your success? Well, at first, I didn't really have support, right? But my mom always supported me, you know? She just didn't understand it! I really... I really... I really, really love my mom, you know? She even now, to this day, she still supports me! She still... As her little mom talks, you know? I love... You know? I... I love the mom talks, you know? Of her yapping! My dad... My dad, you know, he just always support... He just like... My dad is just a guy like, 'Go, you know, do it! Do it! Be... Go be happy!' Yeah, exactly! So I'm really glad that I still got them in my life, you know? And yes! Yes! And it does help! That's why I see them every now and then! They come down, and it's just good for the mental, right? It's good for the mental!"

Let's just change our perspective, and it's all good. "If you liked this, hit that subscribe button! You're definitely going to love these videos! Check them out! Peace!"
