Popular streamer IShowSpeed showed up in Philly to try cheesesteaks and hang with Paul George:
I’ll never get mayo on cheesesteaks. That’s what we called a cheesesteak hoagie back in my day, but that also came with lettuce, onion, and tomato. Mayo just by itself is crazy to me. I know that’s how they do it in the papi stores with salt, pepper, and ketchup but I never understood it.
After he got a cheesesteak and a quick haircut in the Italian Market, he linked up with Paul George and had no idea PG played for Philly:
Then they got more cheesesteaks at Jim’s. I gotta say, I know PG hasn’t worked out here so far, but he seemed like a really awesome dude. He took pictures with everyone and seemed down to Earth interacting with Sixers fans in an insane environment.
Speed then went over to chill with the Super Bowl Champs and asked Howie Roseman what he does:
You could see Howie’s gears turning a little knowing the Birds need a CB2 and safety.
It looks like Speed and Saquon will race next offseason for charity:
I know a some of our older fans don’t understand who or what a Speed is, but that’s because it’s not for them. Just like the Beatles weren’t for your parents’ parents and more. Good or not, you can’t deny his influence on the youth. This dude is like the President of Gen Alpha. Everywhere he’s gone so far there’s been a hundred kids waiting for him and one even climbed over the fence to NovaCare:
He also did some good for the community, like give money for a girls soccer team to get some new jerseys:
I’ll post anything else nuts that happens…
