IShowSpeed shares that his family had one shower growing up and he had to use the sink to take baths

YouTube streamer Darren "IShowSpeed" recently embarked on a mission to complete Rockstar Games' hit 2018 video game, Red Dead Redemption 2 in a marathon broadcast. As of this writing, the streamer is about 24 hours into his playthrough, and at around the 17-hour mark, he took a break to shower. During the break, he shared a heartfelt story about his childhood.

Speed was born on January 21, 2005, in Cincinnati, Ohio and he spent his early years in his hometown, developing a keen interest in YouTube and video games.

He shared that while growing up, his family faced challenges with limited resources, including having only one shower for everyone. As a result, he often had to adjust his routines — sometimes even using the sink to freshen up, so his brother Jamal could have enough time to shower properly:

"When I was a kid... we only had one bath, in my family, we only had one shower. So what we used to do, me and my sibling... Either Jamal would be in the shower, and I used to wash up at the sink."

IShowSpeed then proceeded to show the technique he used to wash up at the sink. The trick is to use a rag or some sort of cloth to scrub the body using soap and water. Speed performed this technique for his chat with a smile on his face, perhaps reminiscing his childhood days:

"Get [the cloth], boom! Quick, easy... Imma do this off camera, but then you go wash your balls."

While in this intimate position, the streamer's chatbox claimed his privates had "leaked," hinting at the famous IShowMeat incident, where Speed accidentally flashed himself while playing a Five Nights at Freddy's game. However, Speed soon put a stop to the trolling, as he said:

"Stop trolling, chill chill. Stop saying I got leaked bruh."

After this, Speed brushed his teeth and went to bed for a good 5-hour nap. Following that, the streamer donned his cowboy attire and hopped back on Red Dead Redemption 2.
