[Silence]
Spice: I was gonna wait until you asked to stop.
S: Hello spicy people of the internet, I'm Spice8Rack- don't wave.
Hello spicy people of the internet. I'm Spice8rack aka
oooh, your uncle and welcome back to the channel.
With me on Spice8rack's famous, uh, quiz show that it's doing now is Gavin Verhey! Say hello Gavin!
Gavin: Hey nice to see everybody out there. I've been told this is one of the most famous
quiz shows in all of the greater uk area and I'm very, uh, should be very thankful to be on this-
S: Okay I literally just asked you to say hello mate.
And today we're going to be quizzing old Gavin here, who's a little bit of a Magic:
the Gathering fan I've heard, on Magic: the Gatherings goblins. Are you excited Gavin?
G: I love goblins yeah, Hobbes Q will be very excited about this discussion. I'm stoked.
S: Again literally just asked you for a very short-
and through the magic of cinema
we're no longer in my home, we're in a magical place. How do you feel about where we are Gavin?
G: Very afraid. Honestly it's frightening.
S: and if you win today's quiz show gavin you get one of, uh,
England's treasured artifacts which is, uh, a two-disc uh version of Snatch by Guy Ritchie.
S: and we're gonna kick off- G: Ah!
S: don't f___in scare me in my old f___in video!
Question number one: what was the first set in which goblins were printed?
G: First Magic set? Just to make sure that I'm being very clear.
S: The first Magic set in which goblins were printed.
G: He's tricky I don't trust him.
[Sound of Silence on Kazoo plays]
G: I'm gonna say Magic: the Gathering Alpha.
S: The correct answer is Magic: the Gathering Alpha! Gavin you have to trust me,
it's a very simple quiz show. Magic: the Gathering Alpha is absolutely the correct answer, well done!
G: Can I name some goblins from Alpha?
S: No.
G: all right-
S: F___ off you don't get any-
G: Sorry Mons, I tried.
S: Don't get- don't try and get extra points from me.
Don't do that. I give out the exact amount of points you need. You've got one right now,
but if you continue being a little smart ass you'll have none.
Question two: Who draws the horniest goblins in Magic?
G: Oh, well, I think, um,-
G: I guess I'll say, uh, let's see it's the elves on Lorwyn that have horn so
that's not the goblins. I guess I would say, uh, it's gotta be someone who's really good
at drawing Tarkir goblins. Um, I'm just gonna say, um, Donato cause he's good with his hands.
S: okay you've answered Donato. Unfortunately the correct answer was Pete Venters.
Everybody knows that Pete Venters paints the horniest goblins of all of Magic's cannon. So that's one and nothing unfortunately for you.
G: What's the citation here?
S: The audience could see that this is the correct answer.
G: Are there any goblins with horns? Because those would be the horniest goblins right?
Is there something else we're talking about here?
S: Question number three: I am a red card printed after Magic's frames transitioned away
from the modern design to their current look.
On my turn, for three mana, I can create three 1/1 red goblin creature tokens. What am I?
G: Wow. On your turn for three mana you can create three goblin creature tokens
it's a card that's been printed since M15, um...
and this is originally printed since M15. Not, like, a reprint or something like that?
S: It just says 'printed'.
G: Wow, so tricky. You can make three goblin tokens for three mana.
Oh I feel like I know I'm gonna say the wrong thing, and I'm gonna lose but...
uh, slowly but surely the mic is gonna touch my nose.
S: I've only got so much arm mate.
G: Yeah I- I go fish, I don't got this one.
S: That's a shame. You know it's quite a simple one,
you kick yourself when you get it. So the answer was:
Krenko Mob-boss when enchanted with Oppressive Rays, whilst I already
control two other goblins on the board and my opponent controls a Grand Abolisher. So-
G: I should have thought about that.
S: I know but i forgot about that the simplest answers are the ones that escape you.
Question four: On april 15th 2022 you were quoted as saying "I am quitting my job at Wizards of the
Coast and putting Spice8Rack in charge because he isn't a coward and will bring Slobad back to
life". My question to you is, what drove you to say something so extreme and so legally binding?
G: Can I get a citation besides myself?
S: That is the incorrect answer unfortunately Gavin, the correct answer was because you know
in your heart that it is true. So that's, uh, one against three unfortunately now Gavin.
G: Hashtag free Slobad.
[NFL theme plays with people cheering]
S: Okay... That's not the right one hang on. Ah it's all backwards and s___. Was that correct...
G: I know that feeling, I feel like that all the time.
S: Bl-...
G: Ah
S: Oh it's the bonus round!
As we all know the goblins of Magic: the Gathering fit into one of three categories. You have,
funny little guy, precious little baby, and bastard. I'm going to name some
goblins from Magic: the Gathering, and it is your job to put them in the correct category!
G: Sounds fun!
S: All right so starting with Slobad.
G: Precious and perfect baby.
S: That is correct, Slobad is a precious and perfect baby.
G: Ironically he's neither slow nor bad!
S: The next one, Squee. Squee, Goblin Nabob.
G: A funny little guy.
S: He's a funny little guy folks, Squee- in fact the archetypal funny little guy I might say.
G: His name *is* Squee.
S: Squee! Ah!
S: Ou final one, Nibb. What's your opinion on Nibb?
G: Nibb? Uh, I'd say cute, yeah.
S: Unfortunately not, Nibb is a bastard. You know Nibb?
G: Yeah, Nibbmizzet. S: No, Nibb the- the goblin.
G: Yeah. S: The goblin.
G: Yeah. S: Famous goblin.
G: Yeah. S: Famous.
G: Yeah from the flavor text of of Nibbmizzet.
S: are you sure you work at magic and I haven't just found you?
Gavin for question fivem and bear in mind you are three down... no you're
four down with the bonus round and you've got one point you need to get something.
G: How many how many points is this one worth I'm just curious, asking for a friend.
S: you know we'll bump it up a bit but, this can be worth two points.
G: Wow! S: Let's go for that, all right, question five:
what has been your favorite goblin related experience working at Wizards of the Coast?
G: Oh this one is easy for me. I work with Mons Johnson every day who was the namesake
of Mon's Goblin Raiders. Richard Garfield named Mon's Goblins Raiders after his friend Mons who
later came to work at Wizards of the Coast, and now we get to design Magic cards with him.
He mostly works on duel-masters, but he's literally Mons, and he's in the
office every day! It's his goblin raiders that are out there, so it's pretty cool experience!
S: Jesus I had genuinely no idea about that. That's really really cool.
Unfortunately not the correct answer, the correct answer was overseeing the introduction of Ixalan's
monkey goblins into the multiverse. I'll give you a point we'll- we'll split it.
G: The Mons thing is so good! S: The Mon's thing is so cool.
G: It's so cool you gotta meet Mons sometime he's a total fellow.
S: Oh I'd love to meet- I'd love to meet THE goblin.
Question number- what is this? Question number six? Yes.
G: It does say five on the back.
S: yeah I f___ed it mate.
Question number five: what's your opinion?
G: My opinion?
S: Yeah, what do you think?
G: I think it's- i think this is Mystery Booster ready!
I think we're ready for the slot. Mystery Booster two let's get this guy in there!
S: Uh, unfortunately a very charitable answer
not the correct answer. The correct answer was "Oh that's Nibb".
G: I see you- yeah. I see what's happened yeah.
S: it's Nibb.
G: So not nibbmizzet.
S: No, that's Nibb.
G: Well, he looks very friendly.
S: He's a bastard. We covered this in the bonus round.
This is the eighth question, okay? The eighth and final question. This is worth some marbles. Okay...
It is a fact that the collective bargaining power held by organized labor in countries like the USA
during the great depression & post-war rebuilding period has slowly been frustrated and dismantled
during our epoch of neo-liberalism. The gap between the rich and the poor is colossal and
ever-widening. It is only through the resurgence of labour unions and industrial leaders like
Amazon and Starbucks as well as organized workforces throughout smaller industries,
community organizations, and building dual power within a revolutionary political movement
that this will change. The reformist compromise of the Labour party in the UK
and FDR's new deal in the US merely delayed the gutting of the working class for a few
generations. Now is our time, for if not now, when? The exploitation inherent in capitalism-
[Gavin Begins to Snore] if you snore you're getting no points.
There are exploitations inherent in capitalism, chief among them:
workers may be pressured into not pitching ideas like "goblins ought to be included in every Magic:
the Gathering set regardless of if it makes sense or not"
is there protection within Wizards the Coast which fights against these kinds of injustices?
G: Can you repeat the question?
S: it is a fact that the collective bargaining power held by organized labor in countries like...
Well we did have fun didn't we. Hello spicy people of the internet! it's been a little while since
I've uploaded something onto the channel, but I've been a little busy bee uh last month. I
went to america for, like, a week and a bit to do some filming over there with uh with The Professor
and just you- you'll see all the funkadelic stuff that's coming in the pipeline at some point in the
future. Or maybe it's out already. I don't know when I'm going to release this video. I also
moved house which is a f___in' hassle and twice as hard as I thought it was going to be.
But don't worry that silver borders video that I talked about in my Monee video is 100% on its way,
and I'm really excited to get it out and for you to see it. I also want to say a massive
thank you to everyone who came and supported the channel directly after the Monee video. We
smashed through so many patreon goals! I now have a regular streaming schedule! At the moment we
are doing a item randomized Elden Ring run, and we are raising money for, uh, fund texas choice which
is a reproductive rights and abortion advocacy group and charity. So if you fancy seeing me, uh,
flail about in Elden Ring and also want to support a good cause head on over to twitch.tv forward
Spice8Rack every thursday at 6pm GMT. And now it is time to thank my suddenly
engorged credit section! Okay so there are so many new patrons, I'm gonna have to do this incredibly
quickly otherwise the credit section will be longer than the rest of the video so here we go:
