Key Insights

• The stream is day seven of a 35-day IRL series in America, with this leg based in New York City. Speed opens by greeting both his YouTube and Twitch audiences and telling them the day is about to start once he finishes getting dressed.
• Viewers can call directly into the stream by pressing the ring button on screen, a feature Speed says he had never mentioned before. He announces it mid stream after realizing the audience may not know the option exists.
• Speed runs two chats at once, a YouTube chat and a Twitch chat, and at one point asks each side to greet the other. The two chats immediately start insulting each other, with messages like "L YouTube chat" and "L Twitch chat" trading back and forth.
• The crew is missing a camera stabilizing stick that Daryl says they no longer have, so they plan to buy a replacement in New York. Jamal takes over as cameraman and is told not to let the shot wobble while filming.
• The 0.5 wide-angle camera setting cannot be switched once recording has already started, which the crew explains on stream when asked to change it. They also note the audio is coming through the phone mic, so Speed has to stay close to the phone to be heard.
• Speed's voice is still recovering during the stream, and after a test sentence someone estimates it is about 80% back. Speed argues that people who really know him can hear the difference, while others insist it already sounds normal.
• Speed is considering changing his hairstyle on the trip, floating braids or twists, and suggests booking a hairdresser as a bus segment. He also says his hair feels dry and repeatedly talks about putting cream in it before leaving.
• Speed insists strawberry jelly on a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit tastes better than the sandwich alone, describing the sweetness as something that brightens the bite. He asks chat whether this is an Ohio thing and tells skeptics not to say "ew" until they try it.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is the IShowSpeed day 7 New York stream about?

It is day seven of a 35-day IRL streaming run across America, with this leg taking place in New York City. The clip covers the start of the day: choosing an outfit, putting on a shirt with Luffy on it, debating hair cream and earrings, sorting out camera problems with the crew, then heading out to a breakfast spot where the group orders food, plays pool and reads chat donations.

Q: How do you call IShowSpeed during his live stream?

Speed tells viewers they can call him by pressing the ring button shown on the stream. He mentions it partway through the broadcast, saying he does not think he ever told the audience about it before, and someone in the crew responds that he should have said it earlier. He then confirms he has just announced it so viewers know the option is available.

Q: Why does IShowSpeed keep saying he already showered?

Chat repeatedly tells him to go take a shower during the getting-ready portion of the stream, and Speed insists several times that he already showered before going live. He asks what viewers are talking about and tells chat to stop with it. A crew member also asks whether he showered, and Speed confirms again that he did before moving on to getting dressed.

Q: What did IShowSpeed order for breakfast on the New York stream?

He asked chat whether to get a breakfast biscuit sandwich or cinnamon rolls, then decided to order both: a breakfast biscuit sandwich with a cinnamon roll. Jamal ordered an OG bacon and egg sandwich, and the group also added a chorizo wrap, water and an apple juice. Speed said he was starving while placing the order at the counter.

Q: Why does IShowSpeed put strawberry jelly on his biscuit?

He says a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit tastes better with strawberry jelly on it because the sweetness brightens the bite and makes it feel more like a proper sandwich. He asks chat whether it is only an Ohio thing or if others do it too, tells skeptics not to say "ew" until they try it, and repeats "just trust me" while eating.

Q: What camera problems did the crew have during the stream?

The crew could not find a camera stabilizing stick, and Daryl said they no longer have it, so they decided to buy a new one in New York. Jamal took over as cameraman and was told to keep the shot from wobbling. They also could not switch the camera to the 0.5 wide setting because the recording had already started, and the audio was running through the phone mic.

Q: Is IShowSpeed's voice back in this stream?

Not fully. The crew debates it on camera, with Speed testing his voice by repeating the sentence "the dog bit the apple" and asking whether it sounds different. Someone tells him it is about 80% back, not all the way. Speed argues that anyone who really knows him would be able to hear that it is not fully recovered, while others say it already sounds normal.

Q: What does IShowSpeed say about changing his hair on the trip?

He says he does not like his hair anymore and thinks it is time to switch it up, floating braids or twists as options. He also complains that his hair feels weird and dry and keeps talking about putting cream in it before leaving. He suggests turning it into a stream segment by having a hairdresser come and twist their hair while they are on the bus.

Summary & Key Takeaways

• The stream opens in a room with Speed choosing an outfit for the day, saying he does not like the fit he has on because it feels like pajamas. He puts on a shirt with Luffy on it, considers putting cream in his dry hair, and hunts for his earrings before heading out for day seven in New York.

• A running bit involves chat insisting he take a shower while he repeats that he already showered, plus a dropped toothbrush he refuses to pick up and use, saying he is getting a new one. He also tells viewers for the first time that they can call him by pressing the ring button on the stream.

• The crew debates whether Speed's voice has recovered, with Speed testing it by saying "the dog bit the apple" and someone estimating it is 80% back. Camera issues come up repeatedly: a missing stabilizing stick has to be rebought in New York, and the 0.5 wide setting cannot be changed mid recording.

• The group heads to a breakfast spot where Speed orders a breakfast biscuit sandwich with a cinnamon roll, Jamal orders an OG bacon and egg sandwich, and someone adds a chorizo wrap, water and apple juice. A name mix-up over an order for "Gabby" versus "Gavin" plays out at the counter.

• Between waiting for food, Speed plays pool and calls out shots, including an eleven in the top right and a thirteen. He also reads a donation asking him to visit Giannis in Milwaukee for a Bucks game, and closes the clip defending putting strawberry jelly on a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit.
