I've gotten comments to get you on my show, too. Really? I've gotten quite a few. There it is, dude. You got to line it up. That was just the universe. That was the great mind just working. Yeah, came together. 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 walk. Hey, the Mayan hieroglyph guys on out just yet.

1:01Shane Gillis:Oh, oh, shit. Spoiler. No, I don't care. That's fine. The I don't know, dude, I feel like you're a great fit. I don't even know what you're talking about. Well, no, I was just I more so meant like category of person, you know, like you're having like celebrities on the show, you know, I mean. And then I walked in. Sway, the cookie crumbles, dude. I like that Here's the thing You're no small fry dude You've had How many followers You got a bunch of followers I have a million on my main YouTube channel But That's You know Come on now YouTube doesn't like that You're more than me You're fucking What are you talking about Well It's an honor to have you on here I appreciate it I'm really I'm truly honored I'm truly honored to be here Cause that's all that matters Yeah Yeah Counts Follow A million is sick though It is Did you get the plaque No What No They denied me my 100k plaque They deny me my million sub plaque why and I have three channels that are owed plaques and they deny all of them except one Why is it because of the content matter?

1:56I mean, bro I'm gonna go on my channel right now and you're not subscribed to my like homepage video is like my first time smoking crack It doesn't matter what country the support agents in they're going to that channel and they're saying no Well, you know, so it's yeah, I got was fake crack No, like we really cooked crack when I was 17 and smoked it. Whoa, so that's how far it goes back.

2:18Shane Gillis:Take me all the way back. So how did you... So how did I what? Just get started like fucking around? Well, yeah, but what I want to know is at what point... Was that a crack idea to be like, let's just YouTube this? It was a coke idea. It was after school on a Tuesday. It's a funny thing to say at a podium. Well, actually, it was not a crack idea. It was a coke idea. A little less. Yeah, so take me all the way back. Give me the origin story. So when we'd gotten out of school one day, it was junior year high school, and I was going to this alternative school with like all the D-Gen kids. And I got sent there because my GPA was below one at a 0.8.

2:55So they didn't like that. And they're like, dude, you might be retarded. Like you got to go to the alternative school. And at the time, I was just like smoking weed and taking Xanax. So like it wasn't too bad. You know, I was still like kind of doing my thing, you know, just not doing too good in school. but after i got sent to the alternative school it's like okay these kids are all like actually like nodding out in gym class and shit yeah yeah like these kids are bad so i i was right in there with them you know i was like fuck it let's have some fun that's kind of nice yeah just got you know got worse so i had uh met a friend named ashton who was like just a really big coke head and like kind of into everything he did coke heroin like the whole shebang and one day he comes over to my house after school we got a ride home together and we're sitting in my kitchen and We've been doing blow for like every day for like probably at least a week.

3:43You're 17. Yeah. Yeah. And it was like, I was very fortunate to have him as a friend because he sold a lot of shit and I was broke, but he would let me do everything because I drove him around.

3:51Shane Gillis:Yeah. So it was like, Hey, like driving to the serve and like, I'll give you two lines. Dude, it's the best offer I've ever had. It's going to fuck working at Wendy's. We're driving the plug around, you know? So he comes over to my house and he's like, dude, I'm really tired of doing blow. Like this shit's boring, honestly. And like objectively blow is kind of a boring drug, you know? So I got where he was coming from. And I don't remember who said it. My other friend Kyle was also there, but it came up at one point like, what if he made crack out of it? And it was a joke at first. Like, ha ha, we could.

4:19You know, that's funny. But like none of us knew what we were doing. We don't know how to do that.

4:22Shane Gillis:Did you guys listen to rap? Yeah, of course. Everyone did, dude. I wanted to cook crack so bad. I grew up in the like SoundCloud rapper era. So like when I was in high school, like Lil Pump was the biggest thing. Yeah, yeah. And like, dude, that guy made cocaine music. Like that guy's music. like if you've ever heard any of his songs it's just straight nose drop yeah you know so we were kind of joking around like haha that would be really funny if we made crack and then it became more of like a how do we even make crack you know we i remember we went on earwood and we found this thread post like really detailed thread with a youtube video linked and it was a step-by-step like old like dude this thread was like probably mid-2000s 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 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 gonna list everything you need here but it's pretty straightforward 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 crap 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 bulworth in a spoon whoa like you don't have to make a like a whole pot worth you can take like a little bit of blow yeah you're not getting the block so and granted like we didn't make good crack like it was not like some shit that we would go serve somebody yeah you know but it was like dude it's homegrown it looks like crack kinda you know what did you so you put it on a spoon so we put blow on a spoon and i mean do you want me to go step by step here is this like uh okay yeah i don't if you get in trouble it's not my fault cover your ears all right so well i think well you don't have to go to d i think it's baking soda water and coke yes yes that's the essence of it yeah and you if you listen to rap 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 the guy who made this video is so funny dude i wonder where he is today 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 it in the freezer okay so we grabbed 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 i'm like i'm like mom like she was not a fan i don't do that anymore yeah that was an experiment that was an experiment for alternative yeah it was a one-time thing that was a science fair 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 like it wasn't good but we're like fuck it dude we gotta smoke crack now you know we don't have a pipe though 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 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?

7:46And 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. There was nothing going on. You're just amped. Yeah. I was just amped up. You know, I punched her cabinet and my friend hits it and he likes it very nonchalant about it. He's like, Oh yeah. You know, like that was cool. And like hours of our time and got fucking two minutes of this out of it you know yeah um and after we smoked the little bowl we made it was more of a thing of like we were riding on the high of like we just smoked crack yeah yeah like holy fuck this is awesome and we drove up we got in my mom's car and i don't know why she ever left the keys at home with me but she would leave the keys at home with me and we drove up to little caesar's that my friend worked at there was this girl named salma who worked there shout out to her and we would always go and give her shit for free pizza and we walked in and we're like selma we just fucking smoke crack like and she thought we were joking she's like oh haha yeah like that's so funny we're like no like we really just did it like you should come next time like if you want to like i'm trying to mac her up a little bit you know you know like hey we're not like these other guys you do drugs with dude we cook crack now

9:01Shane Gillis:like we're really different um which by the way the coke pizza trade is a real thing oh yeah oh yeah briefly briefly sold coke when i was younger and we had a guy who would come in called horsehead okay he was a delivery guy i can tell he's fun yeah we would be like horse we would call and be like yo it was like my friend's cousin worked there but tell send horsehead with the pizzas then like he would just bring about a bunch of extra shit and we would just give him blow fuck yeah he literally did look like he had a horse's head he had a giant long face so we would just watch him do blow and just be like horse there's a real connection with like pizza employees and just drugs in general like any any staff at a pizza shop doesn't matter if your front end kitchen delivery dude you're doing good 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 she didn't care as much as we thought she would yeah but she hooked us up with the pizzas either way you know we hooked her up a good little trade and went home that night and it was a thing of like Like, we all agreed, like, let's never do that again.

10:01Okay. Like, definitely. Gentleman's agreement? Yeah, a real gentleman's agreement. Like, hey, we're glad we got that out of the way. But even at that time, I still had a mental barrier of, like, no meth, no heroin. Yeah, yeah. 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, let's leave that in the past. Let's dial it back. You know? Yeah. So it was cool, you know? But did you YouTube that experience, you're saying? I've talked about it, yeah. I didn't like film the actual thing in the moment, but a lot of what I do online is like, I just kind of recount and tell stories of my past.

10:32Okay. So they're mad that you just told that story on YouTube. Pretty much. Yeah. Well, my channel two, no, actually three years ago now got fully demonetized. So I get no ad revenue off my million sub channel. What? I basically post for free and I get no sponsors. Cause you know,

10:49Shane Gillis:what? Well, you know, there, are you familiar with psyched substance? Did you ever follow his arm? I am very familiar with psyched substance. of course he lost he like kind of lost it didn't he lost the sauce a few times yeah he spilled the pot probably five times kratom got him dude in the end kratom is getting more people than ever right now i know the seven seven oh is bad bro so that i was i had read about seven oh so i just going to seven oh eight seven oh and i was like i was going to talk about it but i just brought it up and then like got on to something else i was like yo did you ever hear about seven oh and then like we started talking about something else i got like nine million dms like don't do it bro Go do it.

11:26Shane Gillis:Don't even try. It's just like morphine you can get from the gas station. Honestly, I think morphine's even low-balling it. Like, morphine is probably weaker than what 7-0 is. That's crazy. Like, it's nuts, dude. And it's just at the gas station. It's gas station, every smoke shop in the whole country, bro. You can pick any smoke shop in a two-mile radius a year, and I promise they sell it. Yeah, that's not good. It's really bad. 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, push it on you.

11:55So 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. Who are the monsters, though, that are like, yo, you know, the Sacklers? What if we did that again?

12:16Shane Gillis:Dude, what if we did that? But at gas station, it goes pretty deep. Actually, there's a lot of the like the 7-0, the sketchy hemp products. and like all the shroom bars that are in smoke shops a lot of those are the same people yeah like a lot of those different brands are all the same like couple parent conglomerates and i own a brand in the hemp space so like that's i'm pretty involved with that and i know a lot of the guys behind the scenes and like dude listen if you go to an event and if you see like three indian guys ice the fuck out they're selling seven now yeah they're selling seven now they're selling seven know um what about so in terms of like the the you know like the hemp the farm bill compliance stuff 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 all the other shit like delta eight that's like synthetic and yeah 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 of those products that by definition would be legally hemp and like you can shit yeah and that's because the thca yeah isn't heat activated yeah thc it's because all the laws are made by like 90 year olds you know they've never hit a joint it's it's like kind of like laughable though because you can just grow it and be like It's 30 % THCA, but it's just...

13:48And there's no oversight. There's not even like a... It's the Department of Agriculture. Yeah. They're not exactly tops. They don't do shit. No.

13:55Shane Gillis:Which is good for them. I think it's a nice loophole. As far as loophole, that's a great loophole. Dude, you're talking to a guy who's made plenty of money off it, dude. It's a great loophole. But with that being said, I still am not that against it getting closed. Because it's pretty bad out there, bro. When you say bad, you mean there's a lot of dirty, shitty... For every one like solid product you can buy in the hemp market right now, there's probably five more that are like borderline poison. Yeah. What makes them poisonous? That's what I'm curious about. So there's no testing and oversight in any hemp products.

14:26The only thing you have to do to like prove that it's hemp is get a lab test done on the batch itself. Yeah. But like there's no like, you know, authority that's coming in and actually double checking that.

14:36Shane Gillis:So it'd be like mold, heavy metals, pesticide. Everything, bro. There's companies that like have weed that's testing positive for E. coli. There's companies. Yeah. Like there's a lot of synthetic like shroom products in particular where like they're advertising. This is a blend of lion's mane and it's just research chemicals. Yeah. That's what. So my, uh, my brother put me onto that because there's, what is it? It's like, it's not five. I mean, it's like five, it's like MEO DMT or something. But that, so that's like the frog stuff. There's another MEO something that is a, it's just a powder. or you can get it online.

15:09Shane Gillis:I can research chemical, but it's like similar to shrooms. That's what I think a lot of the shroom chocolates are. I've talked to people like, yeah, I had like a one square and I was just launched. And it's crazy because like that shit hits too. Like it works and it feels good. It's not even a bad experience. It's more like you just don't know what you're getting. Yeah, it's kind of scary. Like I personally, I think all the shit in the smoke shop should still be legal to possess and consume, you know, but like should they be sold at the smoke shop?

16:51Shane Gillis:like guests and then they come back and like kind of case your shit up and dude they're just smoking fent casually outside i'm not gonna lie bro we don't have much to take i mean we are in a living room um my homie's living room and like yeah there's just not much to take that's good and the cameras we have aren't even ours they're loaned to us you know like good take the couch you know yeah sure take the fucking couch so yeah that's kind of awkward yeah so how did you know they're out there smoking fent you could smell it there's a very specific smell that like smoking like pills gives off yeah and like you can tell then they came the dude came back in he was talking to me totally normally he's like i go smoke a cigarette i'm like yeah comes back in yeah it's like all right bro i know what that smell is you know you're not fooling me so okay so going back to so there you had the you know the the first one was just you're recounting smoking crack that was your first youtube that wasn't my first youtube video that was the first one i'd say that really like popped off popped off a lot like that's like my my most notorious probably okay i think when really like i started getting any traction doing what i do is i got sent to rehab and i was on probation when i was 17 i got put on felony probation because i would go to walmart's and like load up a cart full of shit and like a plastic tote i'd have inside the cart and i'd leave the lid open i'd fill it up with all the clearance like games and dvds put the lid on pay for the tote and just leave and i got away with it like three or four times one day i got really brazen and it was like a friday at 5 p.m and i was drunk as fuck and i drove to the walmart walked in at 5 p.m loaded up my tote try to walk out the door and they stopped me like this big like butch lesbian security guard came and grabbed me what's funny is because like i i when they did the self-check at ice to get like real you know i would just start taking stuff all the time crazy you go nuts in there but and it's like not even nine times out of ten it's like 99 times out of 100 the person checking receipts looks like they're dead they're just like and you just walk past but they i had one hardo one time it was like why is your receipt this big and you have a cart full of stuff and what i did i just i just went like wait what i just went full alzheimer's and was like completely confused did i not check all this stuff out did he let you go back and just yeah it was a lady and she was like this isn't on the receipt and i kept going like but i didn't technically leave the store yeah i don't think you can get in trouble i'm gonna be like you haven't committed a crime yeah i thought i was going to the gardening section so i i felt like i had a solid case if i had a fight but she she was like she made me kind of like a humiliation ritual she She made me go back and be like, that's not on there.

19:24Shane Gillis: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? What? I remember being like, oh, so it beeps. And she was like, dude, you get the fuck out of here. So they actually prosecuted me. Yeah, they arrested me and like took me into the little security room and like counted the amount of stuff I had. And I think they did it because I've been coming back to the same exact Walmart. Yeah. Repeatedly. Yeah. And I would do it all the time. And this is back when like Walmart was still 24 hour too.

19:52So yeah, I was going all times a day, bro. I'd go at night one time I got a 3ds out of the electronics thing I asked the lady to like open it up for me And then I kept asking for like shit in different directions Like 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, but anyway, so I got arrested at Walmart that day I stole like I think was like nine hundred dollars worth of shit. It was a good amount.

20:20Okay just under i think larceny what's larceny like 2000 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're like all right i had a good lawyer and everything 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 acid 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 that wasn't good 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 um i don't think it's like as popular to do anymore but when i was younger uh 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 that's right yeah and i tasted something when i took the tabs but like i it wasn't like bitter to me i didn't think anything of it and this was like a good friend that i'd known for a while so i was like well fuck dude this shit's not hitting me i only took one i need another one so i get to my friend's house take my second tab and then i like started freaking the fuck out and my parents ended up when i went back home my friend dropped me off because i was tweaking parents called the cops because like they called an ambulance because i was tweaking out went to the hospital went to rehab and i spent two months in a residential facility out of state like with all the real tweakers and shit you know i'm in there like damn dude shit's fucked and i got out and i made a series where i just documented like everything i went through in rehab and that was the first thing that like popped off my youtube channel that was really the like oh shit yeah you really really made lemonade out of lemons man i did what i could you know great yeah i mean it all like when i was a kid i still made youtube videos i would just do like call duty gameplay stuff yeah because i played a shit you'll still do that because yeah i still do that you know which is kind of nice it's it's like how it's morphed because when i started i would do the gameplay but i just like talk about mundane shit like here's the best gun in call of duty right now and eventually like when i started smoking weed i was like fuck that shit dude no one cares about the best gun in cod like i want to talk about smoking weed and fucking chicks you know so like it's kind of just what i ended up doing gotcha so made the switch i mean

22:58Shane Gillis:that is pretty i've seen some of your stuff i mean it's just like call pretty good call of duty gameplay too pretty nice i try and then it's just like the one time me and my friend smoked crack i'm like this is might be the best combination of shit ever just a guy like checking the quarters yeah i um i think honestly the only reason my channel exists is just like a product of the time i feel like if you tried to make this channel today you'd get banned yeah you know well you can claim educate well it is kind of educational honestly oh i i have a disclaimer in all my videos it's like this is bullshit yeah like this story's not even real yeah no it's never fucking happen these are fake names you know the drug ranking one is one of my favorite i know you said oh i have an annual one the annual drug ranking i do them every year it's so funny i mean i noticed you have it out for uh robo tripping i mean that's the bottom of the barrel i have i have a two-tiered problem with dxm yeah first off is like it's by definition a struggle drug it's a poverty drug like you're an adult with money and like options on plugs is not going to buy dxm true you know so it's a poverty drug and dxm users when you tell them it's a struggle drug they don't like it is there like for real avowed dxm users dude you're gonna see them in the comments of this video just for talking about this dude post a clip of this on shorts and see how fast they they appear they're coming dude yeah they come in my comments all the time every year and they're like god i really wish goblin wouldn't be so narrow-minded about dxm like it's really opened my mind to all these possibilities and i'm like dude like i'm just i'm not tripping off del sim anymore i'm sorry yeah you're saying it's bottom the barrel only when you're the high just sucks too what is it like it's like imagine if like you had a like every acid trip you had was kind of and didn't last as long and your stomach hurt the whole time that's like pretty much what a dxm trip is that stinks yeah it's not fun and i never liked it but like i guess i don't know dude poor people do yeah so it's a struggle it's a great yeah it's a good drug to go steal at the store nothing better but right so you rank that bottom that yeah that's the very bottom you're saying that's the bottom of the bottom that is the bottom what's slightly above that in your opinion i mean okay a reminder that it's all personal preference because objectively speaking we can be like oh fence actually the bottom but like no it isn't dude people don't do that shit because it sucks like people don't do fent because it feels like shit like that's not true you know so you can't put that you can't put that at the bottom objectively dxm feels like shit and is not a good look you know and it's just i can go on about that but i'd say next up probably like fuck man oh fuck it gets kind of weird in the d tier because like it's the d tier yeah i mean if we're saying f is is dxm yeah then the d tier is kind of a weird place to be because it's like well it's hard to find a drug that sucks but doesn't suck enough to be really suck true yeah you know it's kind of tough but i would say like fuck man i i personally don't like opiates that much yeah so like i'd say like specifically opiate pills like perks narcos like oxys that kind of thing just because like you still get the grimy like opiate feel and day after and the cloudiness but like you're not going all the way like just do the fucking heroin at that point yeah opiates suck to begin with just do the good ones at least the ones that actually feel good because you're going to be a fiend either way like and if like with the perks you're taking like a near liver canceling dose of oh yeah it's like tylenol yep yeah your liver's getting annihilated i i saw a guy one time the guy i worked with uh we were in like a construction trailer we had like cleaned the house we got to like take a break and he just he was like he was bad on heroin though or he would take anything but he just grabbed it was the weirdest thing he grabbed tylenol because there was like a first aid kit and he just dumped like 10 tylenols in his hand just swallowed them all and i was just like he just casually did this no it didn't say what though like i don't know i still to this day i guess he probably was like withdrawal he probably didn't feel that good just testing his liver so he just abused tylenol and i remember just being like what the fuck is this yeah what are you doing what a strange like so that's d that's d oh yeah percocets opiates for me or d yeah you know like i've done them and like sure i've had enjoyable moments on them but like i don't like it's kind of laughable and i well it's definitely not very chic right now to be addicted to like perks no it's kind of no the times went dude Kind of like a throwback.

27:23Yeah. Time has went. It is a dying breed. 10 years ago, 2016, that was peak. Yeah. The era. You want to be a bar tard? You want to be an opiate fiend? That's when to do it. You know, times have changed, dude. Times have changed.

27:36Shane Gillis:Yeah. Even the bars aren't popular. Zanny bars. What would you class? Where would you class them? Oh, my God, bro. I mean, I love them. Yeah. I hate I hate to admit, like when I talk about Xanax, there's a certain like feeling that comes over me of just like warmth you know like oh you know and that's how i know that out of all the drugs i've ever done xanax is the one that i really can never try again like i can i will immediately feed for that shit yeah like it's bad for me with xanax and i have so many friends who got so addicted to that shit and the withdrawals are horrible it's like the the ratio of like how accessible it is to like how addictive and horrible the withdrawals are is crazy like it's literally the most accessible version of like a borderline heroin addiction like it's the same withdrawal process it's the same like if you cold turkey xanax you'll literally just have seizures you can die yeah you can you could full-on die from a xanax withdrawal if you like just completely cold turkey and don't do any prep and like despite all that it's fucking great really now i i love it i love xanax it's literally a problem solver pill like any issue you are concerned about in your life dude if you you got court coming up you behind on your taxes fucking your girl just left you your homie stole your drugs take his aunt you can they're they're all gone find some peace the problems are gone you know and they're you know they're gonna be gone for an extended period and like you might even solve the problems while you're barred out you might get the courage to solve those issues and it might not be in a healthy way but like you're gonna take care of them true you know that's what's shocking to me is that like it's not that crazy to be prescribed Adderall and Xanax.

29:11Shane Gillis:No, fuck no. Like the average person, it's not like, oh yeah, I take a Xanax for my anxiety and I take Adderall to focus. That's a pretty potent, if I took an Adderall and a Xanax, I'd be trashed. It's not fun. Yeah. It's not fun. All right, here we go, guys. Does anyone want to go first, by the way?

31:45Shane Gillis:I saw these, when I was younger, there was like this, you know, whatever, apartment complex full of people that I knew, and they're like all knew each other and lived together, and these girls would take Ambien and then do as much coke as possible i've never tried that dude well they say you start tripping because you want to go to sleep but you take the i mean then the uh i literally they were like really trying to sell me on it all like you got to try this and i'd always give it a go i had the wherewithal to be like no i don't think i'm gonna do that and uh dude one day they just collapsed in front of me oh just were fell the one of them fell and just hit the floor thank god you didn't try it and i said i fucking told you guys i was i was a very i was a very like nervous nelly about drugs when i was young really i would do like like weed and mushrooms were great but like you would avoid like combining stuff or just pills coke i never i never did coke i've never done it virgin really totally virgin i just never everything i saw people doing it i was always like it never worked out good i don't think of a single person they were like yeah that was sick oh coke is very destructive yeah it's horrible it costs too much money it doesn't last long enough for you to ever make it stretch and like it does suck but also like i feel like coke is the perfect adult drug like the moment that like you got bills to pay it's time to buy it back it's time to buy the bag it's time to buy it back so how's that the adult drug oh that's you're saying when you when it's it's a drug that like you can do on a regular basis and still function and like i personally like although i don't do it anymore i functioned when i was geeking like it wasn't until the end it wasn't ever really a thing where it was like debilitating me you know until like towards the end of my coke use what about financially well that's a different story you know i mean yeah that's a different story but like I mean dude when I function as a person when I first like started so back in like 2020 I got a DUI and I was living with my parents still at the time I was 20 um it was 2019 actually and my mom threw me out of the house she was like get the fuck out you know you got seven days put all my stuff in a trash bag and there I went you know um and I moved down like three hours south to this town that was like really far from my hometown and very cheap cost of living and I had brought like my final like hoorah bag of blow down with me I bought like a pretty I don't remember how much it was but I brought a pretty fat bag of blow I got like a pinealine I got like a bunch of weed and just brought it all down I was like once I run out of this I'm fucked dude all the blow down here is fent you know so it's gonna be bad so I started railing a bunch of it and like kind of trying to pace myself which didn't work and around that time I had started doing these like live streams every day and like I would drink for donations.

34:18I was trying to make money and it worked and I started making good money and like instead of being like, oh, finally I can afford my blow. I just bought more shit. And like, since my plug at live three hours North, I started going on the deep web and buying everything with like all my YouTube paychecks. So like I would have months where I'd get like seven or eight grand from YouTube, which was like incredible money for me at the time. That was like YouTube tip basically. Yeah. yeah that was like my that was my all all my income at that point i didn't have sponsors i didn't have like business stuff going it was literally just whatever youtube paid me for my donations and my ad rev was my fucking net worth you know and i remember i would pay my rent which was 650 a month it went up to 1100 eventually when i moved but 650 a month the entire rest of that was weed zans ketamine blow and i would just order it all and like the more money i had the more i just bought but then they keep scaling up yeah yeah i kept scaling up all the way until until like it got really bad, bro.

35:14Like it was, I'm kind of drunk right now, so it's not going to be a great estimate. You know, I had some drinks at lunch, but probably like fall of 21, I'd say is when it got the worst. And I was like staying up for like two or three days straight at a time. And I would just be like sitting at my desk, like cold sweating, railing lines. And I had this, like, I developed this really extreme, like paranoia and anxiety in my brain from doing so much uppers that like i would do uppers to bring me like bring my heart rate back up because i was really paranoid about my heart like i'd be like oh my shit's beating too slow i need to wake up yeah yeah do a bunch of lines and i'd be like oh my shit's beating too fast i need to take a xan i need to do a line okay yeah and i would go through cycles of that for like two or three days straight trying to get it back to just like a sober heart rate yeah and the whole time it's like bro i'm not fucking dying like you know but i might i was just so paranoid in my brain that i thought i

36:07Shane Gillis:was so that's pretty scary though if you're not a horror by yourself just like constantly up and down up and down bro i had this big house by myself i had no friends in this town i had no job and like the only thing i did all day was just sit inside and do drugs like all fucking day and then so pretty much yeah i would go live so that's oh god dude i might get banned for this um when i used to stream like my early days of streaming on twitch uh i got started because i I was trying to see how fast I could get banned. So like I played a porn game and like railed a bunch of ketamine like during the stream.
