0

50.752 - 59.101 Goblin AKA Nick

I was curious. I had asked you before we came down, too, why you got me on the show, because I looked at your other guests, and I'm like, dude, talk about, like, Mayan hieroglyph guys, and then, like, here I come walking.

59.121 - 67.129 Matt McCusker

Hey, the Mayan hieroglyph guy is not out just yet. Oh, shit. Spoiler. No, I don't care. That's fine. I don't know, dude. I feel like you're a great fit.

100.083 - 104.69 Matt McCusker

Yeah, yeah. Counts. A million is sick, though. It is.

Chapter 3: What challenges did Goblin face with YouTube monetization?

298.983 - 315.966 Goblin AKA Nick

I was like probably mid two thousands, you know? And it was like one of those old style YouTube videos with like the music with the text, like step one, like, you know, the comic sans fonts or whatever. And it was just how to make crack. And it was how to make a personal serving in a spoon and all, I mean, I'm not going to list everything you need here, but it's pretty straightforward.

0

315.986 - 330.664 Goblin AKA Nick

If you know anything about it, you know, you can do it literally with a spoon and a lighter and the stuff you need for normal crack. Really? You don't have to... I'm all about... I'm all from the rap songs, whipping your wrist. You can literally do a miniature version of that to make one bowl worth in a spoon. Whoa. Like, you don't have to make, like, a whole pot worth.

0

330.704 - 332.726 Goblin AKA Nick

You can take, like, a little bit of blow.

0

332.886 - 333.907 Matt McCusker

Yeah, you're not getting the block pot.

0

333.927 - 340.294 Goblin AKA Nick

So... And granted, like, we didn't make good crack. Like, it was not, like, some shit that we would go serve somebody.

340.454 - 340.675 Matt McCusker

Yeah, yeah.

340.695 - 354.83 Goblin AKA Nick

You know? But it was like, dude... It's homegrown. It looks like crack, kinda. You know? So you guys, what did you... So you put it on a spoon. So we... Sprinkle stuff in. We put blow on a spoon and... I mean, do you want me to go step by step here? Is this like, okay, yeah, I don't, if you get in trouble, it's not my fault.

354.851 - 363.281 Matt McCusker

Kids at home, cover your ears, all right? So. Well, I think, well, you don't have to go to, I think it's baking soda, water, and Coke. Yes, yes, that's the essence of it, yeah. If you listen to rap, you know that.

363.321 - 370.81 Goblin AKA Nick

You hold the lighter up under the spoon and just mix it until it bubbles for like a certain amount of time. It's like, if you see like constant bubbles on the top, stop, it's too hot.

Chapter 4: How did Goblin start his YouTube career?

374.234 - 398.537 Goblin AKA Nick

i want to know where he is i want to have i want to meet the guy but um we we did the process and then after you finish mixing it in the spoon and doing your thing you pour it on a tinfoil and throw it in the freezer okay so we grab some tinfoil threw it in the freezer and just throw the spoon in like my mom's sink like thinking nothing of it you know whatever which she found the spoon later that was not good no and she still talks about it to this day like she's like remember when i found your crack spoon and like

0

398.517 - 401.364 Goblin AKA Nick

I'm like, Mom, like... She was not a fan. I don't do that anymore.

0

401.404 - 404.412 Matt McCusker

Yeah, Mom, that was an experiment. That was an experiment for alternative school.

0

404.432 - 405.515 Goblin AKA Nick

Yeah, it was a one-time thing.

0

405.535 - 406.357 Matt McCusker

That was a science fair.

406.457 - 425.907 Goblin AKA Nick

Literally, yeah. She should be glad because, like, I failed all my science classes. So finally, I'm being proactive and experimenting on my own. She should be happy about that. So... You know, we threw it in the freezer for like probably 30 minutes or so, pull it back out. And it's like, I mean, from my understanding, it's not good looking good. It's very cloudy. It almost looked gray.

426.228 - 431.342 Goblin AKA Nick

Like it wasn't good, but we're like, fuck it, dude. We got to smoke crack now. You know, we don't have a pipe though.

431.322 - 458.562 Goblin AKA Nick

so like crap time for a tinfoil pipe you know so we twist up a little tinfoil bowl my friend hits it first and he passes it to me very underwhelming experience very like literally I think it lasted probably two to three minutes really like if even yeah we I took a hit one hit pass it to my friend I don't know if like it was a placebo thing of like oh I just smoked crack or what it was but I got very like

459.942 - 477.326 Goblin AKA Nick

Sometimes when I do a lot of coke and I'm pretty drunk, I'll get like ragey, you know, like I'll get a little angry, you know, and it was like that condensed into like two minutes. I remember I was like, oh, like my friend kind of dapped me up, you know, shook my hand a little bit. I remember punching my mom's cabinet like really hard just for no reason. There was nothing wrong.

Chapter 5: How did Goblin's drug use impact his relationships?

569.581 - 572.524 Matt McCusker

So we would just watch him do blow and just be like, horse head.

0

572.544 - 582.174 Goblin AKA Nick

There's a real connection with pizza employees and just drugs in general. Any staff at a pizza shop, doesn't matter if you're front end, kitchen, delivery, dude, you're doing good.

0

582.194 - 589.887 Matt McCusker

Yeah, there's stuff going on. So what was the lady's name again? Selma. Selma. So Selma was, she was dubious about your crack consumption.

0

590.308 - 591.931 Goblin AKA Nick

She didn't care as much as we thought she would.

0

592.151 - 592.251 Matt McCusker

Yeah.

592.271 - 606.223 Goblin AKA Nick

But she hooked us up with the pizzas either way. Awesome. We hooked her up, a good little trade. And went home that night and it was a thing of like, We all agreed, like, let's never do that again. Okay. Like, definitely. Gentleman's agreement? Yeah, a real gentleman's agreement. Like, hey, we're glad we got that out of the way.

606.583 - 611.171 Goblin AKA Nick

But even at that time, I still had a mental barrier of, like, no meth, no heroin.

611.252 - 611.632 Matt McCusker

Yeah, yeah.

611.652 - 617.743 Goblin AKA Nick

That kind of thing. And, like, the crack kind of felt like it was starting to breach the barrier a little bit. And I was like, boys...

Chapter 6: What is Goblin's perspective on harm reduction?

707.202 - 715.416 Matt McCusker

I've heard that they, this is just like people I've talked to, you just hit the gas station or the smoke shop, and they're just like, yo, try this shit. Like, they're like pushing on you.

0

715.396 - 730.88 Goblin AKA Nick

So they have sample packs like these little like one and two pill packs that they send out to all the shops and they give the shops incentives to give the samples out. Like they're like, hey, we'll give you a discount on your next like wholesale batch if you give out these samples because they know that like all the fiends are coming back.

0

730.9 - 738.332 Matt McCusker

Who are the monsters, though, that are like, yo, you know, the Sacklers? What if we did that again? Dude, what if we did that? But at gas stations?

0

738.312 - 760.015 Goblin AKA Nick

It goes pretty deep, actually. There's a lot of the 7-0, the sketchy hemp products and all the shroom bars that are in smoke shops. A lot of those are the same people. A lot of those different brands are all the same couple parent conglomerates. And I own a brand in the hemp space. So I'm pretty involved with that. And I know a lot of the guys behind the scenes.

0

760.495 - 766.682 Goblin AKA Nick

And dude, listen, if you go to an event and if you see three Indian guys ice the fuck out,

766.662 - 795.066 Goblin AKA Nick

they're selling seven now yeah they're selling seven now they're selling seven now um what about so in terms of like the the you know like the hemp the farm bill compliance stuff do you think a lot of that's just sprayed kind of cannabinoids or like like in terms of like the products that people are selling in stores yeah well no so the crazy thing with the the hemp loophole is like the shit they're selling in stores is the same shit it's just weed yeah like the thca particularly thca is the same shit that's in normal dispo weed yeah that's what

795.046 - 813.687 Goblin AKA Nick

All the other shit like Delta 8, that's like synthetic and bullshit. But the loophole right now, like there's shit if you go to a dispensary in California and you go buy a product off a shelf and you get it tested right now. There's probably a good like 40 to 50 percent of those products that by definition would be legally hemp and like you can shit.

813.767 - 817.251 Matt McCusker

Yeah. And that's because the THCA isn't heat activated.

817.351 - 822.478 Goblin AKA Nick

Yeah. THC. It's because all the laws were made by like 90-year-olds. You know, they've never hit a joint.

Chapter 7: What tragic story does Goblin share about a friend?

1108.674 - 1124.99 Matt McCusker

And she was like, this isn't on the receipt. And I kept going like, but I didn't technically leave the store. I don't think you can get in trouble. I could be like, oh, this is outside. I thought I was going to the gardening section. So I felt like I had a solid case if I had to fight. But she was like, she made me kind of like a humiliation ritual.

0

1125.33 - 1137.831 Matt McCusker

She made me go back and be like, that's not on there. That's not on there. And I kept being like. You got a police escort back to the register? Yep. Yeah, I did. And I was like, wait, that's not on there either? Did that doc scan? Mm-hmm. I remember being like, oh, so it beeps. And she was like, dude, you get the fuck out of here.

0

Chapter 8: How does Goblin view the current drug landscape?

1139.887 - 1141.849 Matt McCusker

So they actually prosecuted you.

0

1141.869 - 1160.746 Goblin AKA Nick

Yeah, they arrested me and took me into the little security room and counted the amount of stuff I had. And I think they did it because I'd been coming back to the same exact Walmart repeatedly. And I would do it all the time. And this is back when Walmart was still 24-hour too. So I was going all times a day, bro. I'd go at night. One time I got a 3DS out of the electronics thing.

0

1160.786 - 1176.633 Goblin AKA Nick

I asked the lady to open it up for me. And then I kept asking for shit in different directions. I'd be like, can you get a game from that end of the thing? And she got fed the fuck up and she just handed the thing to me and she's like, bring it up front and pay for it and just left. And I was like, all right, well, I'm leaving. Into the tote it goes. Yeah.

0

1176.673 - 1183.308 Goblin AKA Nick

But anyway, so I got arrested at Walmart that day. I stole like, I think it was like $900 worth of shit. It was a good amount.

0

1183.649 - 1183.809 Matt McCusker

Okay.

1183.829 - 1201.942 Goblin AKA Nick

Just under, I think, larceny. What's larceny? Like $2,000? It wasn't larceny. It was under that. It was just, I think retail theft, but like the felony level by definition. And like, I just had like some minor, you know, possession charges and shit at that point. So I went to court for it and they were like, all right, I had a good lawyer and everything.

1201.962 - 1220.047 Goblin AKA Nick

They gave me probation for a year and I had to go in for random drug testing like pretty often. Um, and I've was not doing well with that. Like the first month on probation, I was just dropping a ton of acid and like, you know, Oh, well, I won't piss dirty for that. But then while I was tripping, I'd like hit the blunt and like do all the other shit. And you know, I wasn't good.

1220.508 - 1240.555 Goblin AKA Nick

So I kind of gone through the motions the first month, just like, well, I'm gonna go to juvie when they call me, you know? And eventually I bought a couple tabs off a friend that turned out to be fake and I overdosed on them. What were they? 25. I am pretty sure. What is that? So it's I don't think it's like as popular to do anymore.

1240.615 - 1262.827 Goblin AKA Nick

But when I was younger, the like most common fake acid cut was this chemical called 25I-NBOME. And it's this like similar psychedelic. It's like a clear liquid that you drop on blotter. But like the only way you can tell you're taking it is if the tab tastes bitter. And I tasted something when I took the tabs, but it wasn't bitter to me. I didn't think anything of it.
