Later in the stream, Amy Flamy gifted IShowSpeed a special One Piece-themed iPhone cover. The Ohio native was surprised by the influencer's thoughtful gesture and hugged her. While expressing his gratitude, Darren claimed he was "catching feelings" for Amy:
"I'm catching feelings, chat. No! Oh, why are you doing this, bro? You know what you're doing, bruh. (Amy asks, 'Do you like it, though?') I like it. I actually do like it. So cute. Thank you!"
A few moments later, the YouTuber admitted he "liked" Amy Flamy. However, he was not ready to ask her out.
"Yes, chat, I do like her. Chat, I do. I'm going to be honest, I do like her. But I don't know if I'm ready yet to ask her out, though."

"First of all, I got to meet the IShowSpeed and I went on a date him. That's crazy! And we had our cute little moments, and it was all cute! And when I tell you - IShowSpeed has a crazy amount of fans in Korea. Whatever you're thinking, double it, because honestly, I thought we were literally filming Train to Busan with, like, a zombie apocalypse because fans were coming from all over!"
A few moments later, Amy Flamy responded to those claiming she collaborated with Darren for "clout and money." The content creator said:
"I see a lot of comments saying like, 'Oh, she's just doing this for clout. She's capping. She's lying. She doesn't think Speed is good-looking. She's just doing it for the money, blah, blah, blah.' First of all... I was not lying. Second of all, I don't need no money. Like, I don't need money. I'm good."
Amy then shared her thoughts about IShowSpeed, describing him as "really cute" and a "great person":
"Third - I honestly, genuinely think Speed is really cute. Like, if you see him off-camera, he's really good-looking. Seriously! And he has a great personality on-camera and off-camera, as well as, like, he's just a great person."
Amy Flamy also addressed allegations that her association with Darren was "scripted." She remarked:
"Oh, and I see a lot of you guys commenting if the video was scripted. I don't know, believe what you believe because if I say it wasn't scripted, you're still not going to believe me. If I say it was scripted, you're still not going to believe me. So, believe what you believe."
On May 24, 2024, IShowSpeed and Amy Flamy got together for a date stream in London, United Kingdom. At one point, the YouTube streamer decided to impress Amy by staging a robbery and instructing a viewer to snatch her shopping bag. The incident has since gone viral on social media platforms like Reddit and X.
