# Early life and childhood

Ramez was born on November 3rd, 2000 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Juliana DeLano and former MMA fighter Markus Callahan. Growing up, Ramez had a very large admiration for video games. He loved to play video games (especially Mario Kart) with his older sister Vanessa (he would always beat her). Ramez was quiet in elementary school but had a group of friends he liked to hang out with. At the age of 9, Ramez was diagnosed with Scoliosis, which is when the spine bends in a curve. He was also diagnosed with ADHD.

Along with video games, he also had a love for sports (especially American football). Ramez, along with his father, is a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan, and his father got him interested in the sport when he was watching a Monday Night Football game between the Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys in November 2004 (The Eagles won the game 49-21).

# School

Ramez excelled in school and always had the top grades in his classes. He graduated from high school as valedictorian, and was awarded a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania, one of the hardest schools to get into in all of America. He is currently on track to graduate from UPENN with high honor.

# Content Creating career

Ramez joined YouTube on September 27th, 2009. His father created his account for him so he could show his friends at school how good he was at video games. Ramez' first video was a video of him playing *Crackdown 1*, recorded by a laptop webcam. Since then, his channel has ammassed over 800,000 subscribers and 715 million video views. Around 2012, he started to upload gameplay videos of *Madden NFL*, which started to get people's attention.

## Arm wrestling video

On February 10th, 2014, a video titled "arm wrestling my dad" was uploaded to his channel. The video shows Ramez arm wrestling his father, Markus. To the surprise of Markus, Juliana, and even Ramez himself, Ramez beat his father with ease. The video became viral, and even got on local Philadelphia news and on *Good Morning America*. As of right now, the video has over 9.52+ views.

## Meeting Saint Dreezy

Sometime in July 2015, Ramez joined a *Call of Duty: Black Ops 3* TDM lobby. In the lobby was Sean Robinson (aka Saint Dreezy), who is known for being one of the best Call of Duty players in the world. As the match went on, the two became very impressed with each other's skills, and they became friends. Ramez and Sean are now best friends online, and almost always play Call of Duty together.

## Meeting iGumdrop and OfflineTV

In May of 2015, Ramez was bored, and decided to watch random Twitch streams. He then found a stream of a user named "iGumdrop" aka Jaime Horan, and decided to watch her stream. After 10 minutes, Ramez donated $100 to Jaime with the message "RANDOMLY SLAMMING MY KEYBOARD AIHFEAENDUIWF OK DONE". iGumdrop read it out loud and started laughing. After the stream, Ramez and Jaime started talking in DMs, and became friends. Jaime also convinced Ramez to stream on Twitch. Later that year, Ramez and Jaime met in person in NYC.

## Rising fame and 2017 Madden Bowl Championship

In 2016, Ramez' friends told him about the 2017 Madden Bowl, and convinced Ramez to join the tournament. When Ramez got home, he asked his parents if he could enter the tournament, and they agreed. When the tournament finally started, many people already wrote off Ramez, due to his young age (he was only 16 at the time). He silenced all of the doubters by steamrolling his way to the Madden Bowl Championship round, blowing out every single one of his opponents on the way there. On January 29th, 2017, Ramez defeated Chris "Dubby" McFarland to win the 2017 Madden Bowl championship. At just 16 years old, he is the youngest person to ever win the Madden Bowl. He gained tons of popularity both on the internet and at school because of this, and was dubbed "The King of Madden".

### Back to back Madden Bowl Championships

Ramez saw an ad for the 2018 Madden Bowl Tournament. Inspired, he once again entered the tournament. People were again doubting him, saying last year was a fluke and he only won because his opponents felt bad beating up on a kid. Ramez shut them all up for a second time, as he won back to back Madden Bowl Championships, the first person ever to do so.

## Philadelphia Eagles win Super Bowl 52, popularity within Eagles fanbase

On February 4th, 2018, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52 by a score of 41-33. Ramez was at the game with his friends, and Ramez gained popularity within the Eagles fanbase for both his reaction, and the speech he gave on local news shortly after landing in Philadelphia returning from Minneapolis. He is the most popular Eagles fan on the internet, and is referred to by the Eagles fanbase as "Mr. President".

## OfflineTV

Jaime introduced Ramez to OfflineTV. Ramez' first encounter with OTV was when he met Pokimane at TwitchCon 2019, and to Ramez' surprise Imane actually already knew who he was. He isn't an official member of OTV but is a very close friend of the group.

## Leaving Philadelphia and current life

After Ramez graduated from high school, he (emotionally) announced that he would be relocating from Philadelphia to Los Angeles to further pursue his YouTube career. This was a decision supported by his friends, family, and fans. Nowadays, Ramez spends his time hanging out with the other members of OTV, trolling Dodgers fans, playing Madden and other games, and losing to DisguisedToast in Among Us.

# Relationshps

## Jaime

Before Ramez and Jaime started dating, their relationship would develop by them playfully flirting with one another and they would also sometimes stream together. Jaime helped Ramez move his stuff into his new California home. When they announced that they were dating, literally no one was surprised, some people even noted that it was extremely obvious. Ramez and Jaime love to cook together, go out to eat, and play games together. Ramez sometimes likes to make fun of Jaime's height (5'4), which Jaime always responds to by standing on her tippy-toes.

## Sean

Sean is Ramez' best online friend. They are referred to as the "Batman and Robin" of Call of Duty, and are regarded as one of the best gaming duos in the world.

## Vanessa

Ramez and Vanessa have a very "little brother-older sister" relationship. Vanessa always gives Ramez advice on life and motivates him to be the best version of himself. They love each other very much and always look out for one another. Vanessa likes to mess with Ramez sometimes as he's a full 10 years younger than her, and Ramez is doing everything in his power to make Vanessa finally take him seriously (a fact that Vanessa is completely oblivious to).

## Sykkuno

Ramez is very fond of Sykkuno. He almost always refers to him as "Syk" (Ramez is the only person who is allowed to call him that). Sykkuno seems to have a mutual liking of Ramez himself, as Ramez once caught him in 4k simping for him during an Among Us game.

## DisguisedToast

Ramez and DisguisedToast have a friendly rivalry, mainly because the latter always beats the former in Among Us. Other than that, Ramez and Toast are very good friends, Ramez even considers Toast to be his best friend in OTV.

## Valkyrae

Ramez and Rae get along very well. Rae is probably the biggest fan of Ramez and Jaime's relationship. Ramez once tried to teach Rae how to speak Spanish, which failed miserably.
