sorry about it, smute your micWolf. And finally we are joined
by a former JMA or JMR manfuck JMA were joining crow Bar shut out

(04:30):
Steve read your out live. Finallywe are joined by a former JMRC member
Uh, a guy who has beenrunning Project Marble Earth and doing it fantastically
for a long time. Good friendof the show, great friend of mine
period. That is stive and stintilating. Is very weird right now. He

(04:50):
looks like he's either going to bean emo album cover or maybe like a
Christian rock well rhaps isbe I alwaysget from it, report it, copyright
trick, will stop it. I'min hell right now. It feels like
purgatory. I think, yeah,maybe maybe it's purgatory because the Project Marble

(05:15):
Twitter was blocked and then it wasunblocked, and then it was blocked again,
like within a couple of hours,and now it's unblocked again last time
I checked, which was like earliertoday, So you had Jack right now,
maybe you're might be blocked. Itmight be blocked right now. I
just could you know what if theydidn't block you? Hey, stint block,

(05:38):
reported copyright trick, sorry about it? Hashtag not sorry though, uh
so this is gonna be a differentepisode than most because, uh, we
would love to cover the events.We would love to cover this Barble League
and all the graphical errors and theproblems with the track and make fun of
the rollers are in third place,the Roo Rollers winning a limited Asian race,

(06:00):
Absolute legends. Yeah, the roller'slife is for me, but not
tonight because there has been some controversy. This is why we have these beautiful
guests here. And Stinth has goneout of his way to make a very
uh intricate timeline about what has beengoing on with U with Billy Billy,

(06:24):
I think that's a really fun thingto say, which is basically China's YouTube
and the the Starus Dinosaurs video thatgot taken down and then jmr censoring and
blocking all of the YouTube accounts thathad any bullshit to say them and then
doubling down on it later. Andyeah, so Stinth oha got unlooked.

(06:50):
Just as a dumb preface. I'vebeen listening to a lot of New Heights
clips lately. It's Jason as Kelsey'spodcast about their football experiences, and Jason
always says like every time something happenswith Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. He
says, we got to talk aboutit, and then Travis goes, all

(07:13):
right now, so we do.He does, So, what's going on
in the community right now? Wegot to talk about it all right now.
What's happening right now in the communityis totally unprecedented, just like the
level of bad faith, engagement anddisrespect that the fans has been the fans

(07:38):
have been treated with in the pastmonth and a half, but especially in
the past few days. That's whatthis episode is going to be about.
So thank you for having me.Let's talk about it all right now.
So let's go through the timeline.Basically, the Chinese people who are doing
the subtitles to be that's what theygo by, like for short. Once

(08:03):
there like actual name, it's like, yeah, okay, cool there.
They got locked out of their accountto upload the subtitle videos on October fourth,
so we're talking about what month anda half ago. There's a whole
Reddit thread about it, there's blowbackfrom the fans, and Dion commented on

(08:30):
it about a week later. Sojust to provide some additional context around that,
the jmr China Billy Billy space wasoriginally founded by a bunch of fans
who want who saw the videos Iguess like going viral in the West,
and wanted to bring them all tothe Chinese community, like Chinese fans,

(08:54):
so they founded the Billy Billy spaceas fans. It kind of exist like
Billy Billy operates like Reddit, whichis something that Dino said in his subtitle
fiasco video. So they ran itand they built up like tens of thousands,
eventually up to hundreds of thousands offollowers, and JMR working in the

(09:18):
Netherlands became aware that the page existed, but for a very long time they
were comfortable with it existing as likea fan community, and the fans who
were running the space like also didn'ttake any of the revenue from the channel,
so it just existed like they didn'tdeposit any of it. They basically

(09:43):
were there to just grow the communityfurther, like we are technically. Yeah,
they didn't want any of the money. Yeah, I do remember Saratoby
saying that they kept roughly ten percentfor funding the channel itself, but never
for profit, right, Yeah,so that's not like they're not gaining anything
from that. It's just like operatingcosts of the channel. So the JMRC,

(10:07):
actually the former JMR Committee of whichI was a part of, people
like Fuk and Mel discovered that therewas a Billy Billy space and it was
gaining tractions. So we were theones who first reached out to them to
try to collaborate a little bit.And then the JMRC ended. We dissolved

(10:28):
due to concerns of working with Dion, which are indirectly related to what's going
on right now. And Dion contactedToby and was like, I guess started
arguing with him and said something likeyou don't know what's going on with JMRC,

(10:52):
and then Dion just didn't talk tothe JMR China Billy Billy space until
this past summer where he asked themfor all the income that they had received.
And that's all explained in star Wartobased video, which was real uploaded
to YouTube, but it's also onVimeo. Yes, it is on Vimeo.
I also re uploaded Tsar's disauruses videoto video that got taken down.

(11:18):
My account got blocked nine hours ago, just completely deleted because I was bullying
and harassing. I mean, somebodyactually reported my video re uploading tsars disaurs
is shit, not even an hourago. Yeah, this is very problematic.
And it was like a secondary emailthat I have. It's uh,

(11:41):
you know one they used like piebirds and stuff, so you guys don't
know who the fuck I am actually, But so that's problematic and uh,
it's a problem. So after andit's a problem, it is shout out
to bo Burnham. So so afterthat we had Dinoh release his video commenting

(12:05):
about the whole situation. I thinkthat was a break round, like the
beginning of October. I'm not exactlysure on the date of it, because
Dinah releases a lot of content,which always includes JMR stuff. Yes,
so the Dino video came out onOctober thirteenth, which was the same day
as qualifiers. It may have evenbeen like within two hours of the Marble

(12:30):
League qualifiers releasing. So he postedit on a day that would kind of
get like a lot of attention fromthe community, and it did. It
got like several thousand views. Andthis was not even a week after Toby
posted the Reddit fred and YouTube videoexplaining what happened with the jmar community.

(12:58):
The jmar Chinese community managers getting lockedout of the account and having their account
been taken over five JMA members.On top of that, like Dyno releases
knee jerk reaction videos like literally anhour after every video that's posted, and
none of those videos have ever beentaken down, and the foe from JMR.

(13:20):
Yeah, exactly, And it isjust the criticism of getting the video
taken down and also a copyright strikewith that, right, Yeah, I
believe Also, like the Dino cameout and said like he went through each
timestamp and like the specific JMR MarbleLeague that it was claimed for was not

(13:41):
Like I don't think even in mostof it. I think not a single
timestamp had anything to do with theMarble League that it was claimed for.
It was claimed for the twenty twentyMarble leagues, all videos, and he
did not include Eddy clips, likereally from that video. There was some
twenty twenty thing, but not fromthat video specifically. Right, they were

(14:03):
from individual events, is that right? Yes? It is individual events.
And I also think they were weren'tthey more recent than twenty twenty? There
weren't a lot of them of themwere few and far between. Yeah,
I think the only reason was,like he mentioned John Oliver oh, until
they cut back to a twenty twentyexactly. It makes sense. But so

(14:24):
Dina releases his video October thirteenth,qualifiers, we're now a month past that,
like towards the end of Marvel Leetwenty twenty three seven on November nineteenth,
You're welcome, scot So. Threedays ago, on the sixteenth,

(14:45):
Dino posted on Reddit and also likediscord about his and Twitter of course,
about his video about the subtitle fiascogetting copyright strup moved. So do you
mind if I read the tweet?Yeah, read the tweet? Go ahead.
So it's kind of man, it'scaptured. Hashtags saved the showdown.

(15:09):
And there's this notesap too that saysnote which says if you're wondering where the
subtitle fiasco video went? So amI This is a series of events.
I never saw comic the NFL orMLB never issued copyright strikes to me before
claims. Sure, but they nevertook the step to remove a video of

(15:31):
mine. For the fact that thisclaim was done manually, and the fact
that all of my other videos Marblevideos have not been affected, this is
not a good look for the JMR. Too many strikes and my channel would
be removed from YouTube permanently. I'lltry my best to appeal, but we
all know how good YouTube is atthat this tweet has thirty seven thousand views.

(15:54):
And yeah, the second picture itshows this video no longer available due
to a copyright claim by Yellow's MarbleRuns. So I have the original hyperlink
to the YouTube video. If Iclick on it, it's just the same
thing. It shows the same exactthis video has been removed due to a

(16:17):
copyright claim by Yellow's Marble Runs nolonger available the same thing, so we
got bib. Yeah, there's justno way that they could possibly pass this
off as a mistake, considering thereare several several videos from various different people
that use clips from the Marble League. Helplated a video that was exclusively clips

(16:38):
from the Marble League set to amusic and somehow that's fine. Mm hmm.
Yeah. I got into a bitof a discussion with someone read it
like saying, oh, like meetsme to post saying oh you you can't
like claim something video and we willget to that more like like very very
much. Somebody was saying, yeah, there's no option to do it.
It's like, what are you talkingabout there's literally a button within the copyright

(17:00):
tad that says requests a video takedown. It's literally a feature within YouTube system
to allow people to take down anyor at least request a takedown of any
video that they want. So Dinosees this. I see that. Dino
like that. This happened to Dino, and I decided to, like,

(17:22):
look at Toby's video, see ifthat also got removed, and it was,
and you can click the link forthat too, and it shows the
same message no longer available due toa copyright claim by Yellows Marble rus So.
Then this was posted to the subredditDino said, captioned the thread,

(17:45):
jmrs removed my video covering the subtitlefiasco. Toby's video has also been removed.
It's received three user reports. It'spersonal and confidential information. Post comment
was not real into the subreddit,and it's targeted harassment at me. And
that's also why my repost of Dino'svideo has been taken down on Vimeo.

(18:11):
UH. Basically, the email thatI got, which I said to you
guys, said your account has beenremoved from by the video staff for violating
guidelines. We do not permit accountsto that upload content which is abusing,
harassing, bullying, and timidy orotherwise targeting individuals with malicious insults or attacks.

(18:33):
That's not what it is. Justspeaking the fucking truth here. It's
criticism, and criticism is allowed.Yeah, for sure, It's not like
we're going JMR is terrible. JMRis the worst thing on the planet.
Listen. And then on top ofthat, it's like it's the Sarus dinosaurs,
Like he is a guy who hasbeen the Marble roaster for years.

(18:56):
He sits on everyone equally. Heyou can get it with the fucking dinosaurus.
And but that's the thing though,It's that he didn't even I watched
the video before it got removed.It's still, man, I'm posting,
honestly, roast Dion as bad ashe's roasted the pinkies in the past.
The fact that there's just this criticismand these are the only videos that are

(19:21):
taking being taken down. And thenon top of that, when we're spreading
the information on Twitter, not callingit X, never fucking calling it X,
and we're retweeting all of these issuesgoing down, and that Dion is
going into the JMR account and blockingthe accounts that have criticism against them is

(19:41):
just fucking appalling, and I amthis is why we're here today. This
is why I'm not fucking standing forthis ship is goddamn bullshit. And Minos
can cover his fucking ass all hewants, but Dion needs to take accountability
because he's a little fucking manchild.So I think we need to talk about

(20:02):
why this is so big. Twovideos getting removed, Like JMR might not
think it's a big deal, butthey probably don't understand why it's a big
deal to us. In my opinion, Thesaurus Dinosaurs is the largest JMR adjacent
content creator in the community. Hehas almost seven thousand YouTube collars, block

(20:29):
reported U copyright harassment my channel,Yes, hear me out, Do you
have a million views? Million channelviews on YouTube? Because Dino does.
Dino's videos over four almost five yearshave had incredible, incredible exposure. He's

(20:51):
been creating since the downfall of theOceanics in twenty nineteen. He was there
when John Oliver when he sponsored thechannel and the channel became viral a few
months before. He's been a prolificcontent creator within this community and he's done
all this out of such passion andlove. I talked about this so much

(21:14):
when I was on MSWP a coupleof weeks ago. Like the creators in
this podcast, thanks right, welcome, Well, I think you should block
and content cling for that term.You're blocked and you're not allowed on this
check. Aren't the content creators thatexist within JMR, who are like the

(21:41):
community, who like they create videos, they write lore, fan art,
photography, create like analogy and statsand fantasy tournaments, like all of them
are just podcasts, podcasts that they'reall so special, and our podcast is
specifically special because we're all idiots here, it is specifically special. Copyright striking

(22:08):
and removing Dino's video at all,it's sad. What makes us worse is
that it was due to criticism fromd about Dion. You know, I
think JMR has to realize that thiscommunity is the reason they have a following.

(22:32):
They have to realize that they ina way they kind of owe us.
I don't think respect, they alwaysrespect. They transparency. Transparency.
Yeah, that's the word I waslooking for. Yes, they owe us
that. But another thing I wantto bring up, but this was brought
up by a Dino in his tweetthat he's got enough of a following on

(22:56):
YouTube that this does kind of influencehis livelihood a little bit, like he
make some money off of this.It's not, I don't think enough to
support himself. I don't know howYouTube pays anything like that. I think
he does have a job outside ofthis. But Mike, that's I can
still influence a person's livelihood and aperson's life. And if he gets enough
copyright strikes, he loses his channeland you can't just get that back.

(23:19):
And so if you have to rebuildhis following over like four years that he's
gotten to this point, it's not. That's not a good That's not good
for him at all. I thinkthe fucked up thing too, is like
when JMR they deleted their Google Plusaccount and got rid of their entire backlog
of the fucking videos happening. Theykind of know how it feels like to

(23:44):
lose all of that shit. Andthen also, hey, go shop at
the Csarus Dinosaurs shop at Red Bubble. That shit's awesome. If you got
tiny arms and big waist, thatshirt's gonna fucking fit you great. Tell
me, hey, I bought abunch of ship from his fucking store just
recently. And if you want togo support him, go to the Stars

(24:07):
Ditasaurs shop a red bubble. Welldoesn't need to go instinct what do you
got? It's saying that we deserverespect. It feels kind of needy,
and I don't want to like makethat assumption that like we need respect,
Like we can choose how we engagewith the channel, But if we're engaging

(24:29):
with the channel and we're getting disrespected, that's a problem and that shows distrust
and creates a negative brand and businessperception for JMR. I think we just
kind of need to recognize both usand the people at JMR, whether it
be Dion Mino's Yellow, et cetera. Everything in this is going to be

(24:51):
a two way street, right Like, if you give us great content,
give us things interact with, we'regoing to respond positively. If they're us
negative things like removing videos some contentcreators that support you and basically only you.
You know, this is a methodof you know, they're they're trying

(25:11):
to show how much they like yourthings by making videos of their own about
them. Like that's that's gonna giveus something negative to react to, and
we're going to be negative back.It's is going to be two ways.
Yeah, I will say I wastalking to Billy for the Greed Ducks coming
out on a new song suit It'scalled Billy a show because they're a showdown.

(25:33):
But on top of that, it'sjust like any time, like every
account that was on Twitter using thehashtag free the Die Now was getting blocked
actively by by Diod. It's prettyclear that it was Dion. At that
point, Vitos unblocked. Dion wentback on social media because Vito said it

(25:57):
is right at post because at thetime looking sotion media. Eon does though,
apparently, and just continue to startblocking people again, including Project Marble
Earth, which is one of thegreatest accounts that have made the whole war
of Yeah, these Marble runs andwhy we like humidize these Marbles and why

(26:21):
we appreciate them and care about themso much and like their backstory and like
where we're going. And it's justlike he just tried to fuck it,
blow this whole ship up, andStith, we still blocked there not right
now, Actually I checked. Okay, so Minos were recording tonight, Okay,

(26:42):
Well continues that was a that wasa good point to him because it's
not like it's it's accounts big andsmall, like compared to Project Marble Earth,
I would say the Big Gets BigTakes podcast is pretty small. We
were also blocked by JMR at thispoint, as we were well by the

(27:03):
team JMR. My bad, mybad, by Dion, by Dion,
and but we also have larger accountslike the team primary Twitter account that's been
around for forever. They were aroundwell before I was here and I joined
in twenty twenty with John Oliver.They were also blocked. I don't know
if they're unblocked. This the restDinosaurus I'm sure was blocked, and several
other smaller accounts that are literally justhere to feast on JMR content he being

(27:30):
shutdown. I will say that theoranges were blocks, So fuck you,
Dion. You can't block us.You were so getting blocked now he blocked
the funk out of me. Let'sstart a riot. So to keep things
going a little bit, I'm gonnamention like this Reddit thread was posted and

(27:52):
it blew up pretty much for thereasons that we were discussing right like there
was Oh this is what Dynau posted, saying his video was removed, and
so was Toby's it as so I'ma moderator. It is twenty one thousand
views, seventy two comments, onehundred and forty five likes on it,

(28:14):
and those three reports that I mentionedearlier. So it's received just a lot
of attention from the community for allof the reasons that we talked about,
like because Dina is such a bigcontent creator, because we don't want to
be disrespected, like all of thishas happened. I want to bring up

(28:34):
what one user said that was kindof it was attempting to be a counterargument.
They said, a lot of thefans here have a weird power social
relationship with the channel, and theylike to overreact to minor drama like this.
It's pretty funny seeing how dramatic someof these comments are. So I

(28:55):
was talking to a fellow community memberyesterday, have a very close relationship with
them, and they said, liketo be honest, in some cases,
I agree, because like it's aclose knit community. Some people in the
community genuinely do have connections, butothers feel like they do too and don't.

(29:18):
But then let's think about this fromthe people who were directly affected from
Dino whose video was removed as aresult of this copyright strike, whose channel
might go under if another if anotherinfraction like this were to occur. It

(29:40):
had legitimate repercussions on Dino's channel,and he was targeted because of the content
within the video, which we canalso trace back to Toby and saying like
oh like these were both about theJMR China subtitle fiasco. The nuances are
much more complex and every fan accountwho was directly blocked, that's also like

(30:06):
a direct impact. That's not parasocial. If it was parasocial, Dion would
not have blocked them. You wouldn'thave done anything right. Somebody just DMB
the Big Gets Big Things account.I'm not gonna mention who it was,
just to keep their privacy. I'mjust gonna fucking read this right now because
it is okay, Oh okay,this is why ten stamps Live Reactions seven

(30:33):
seven fifty seven est. Also,can we just fuck off of stated time?
We just go to Daylight Savings?Please please please dark out room.
It's really dark. He gets lastSteve is a recording in a park and
as we can see, is likethe side of his news. It's time

(30:56):
we got a couple of repeat mailbaggers. It's toime to open the Take
a look at this, Jesus Christ, that right there is the mail.
Now let's talk about the mail.Can we talk about the mail? Please?
Mac? Can we dine and talkabout the mail for you all day?
Okay? So I just got amessage, he said, Hi,
their apologies for the delay. I'mworry that you may be recording your podcast
at this point, and I didwant to take advantage of the offer you

(31:19):
gave me. Regarding information, I'llstart with dead matters, as that's what's
most important. This comes from acabo I had with a friend of mine.
I won't reveal their info. I'mnot reveally your info too, but
Soup, we're good, but believeme it's important. Yelly has actually tried
to get Dion out of the picturemultiple times, as parents have forced Yelly

(31:41):
to keep Diad around. At somepoint, Yelly gave up and focused completely
on the Marble runs while Dion handledthe business side of things. I know
it's disappointing to hear this. Iwas hit with some hopelessness regarding that matter
when I first heard it. Butperhaps if another noise is made that could

(32:01):
change you never know. I'm alsoconsidering making my own video relaying my own
experience and comparing them to the recentincidents going on in the JMR community and
staff, a sort of expansion onmy initial threat. This will be my
last major piece regarding the JMR incidents, barring interviews and a possible AMA,

(32:24):
so be on the lookout for that. I wish you and the rest of
the gang involved in the podcast today, I think he just I don't always
wish. I guess you did sayhopefully you can do your part of the
spread reform among Yelli's marble runs asI will try to do the same.

(32:46):
This guy's oh there's a smoking guyjust got this fucking like two minutes ago.
I don't know who he is.I don't know. Hey, allegedly,
we're just gonna cover our asses allegedly. As someone who used to work
with JMR, I can confirm everythingthis person said to be true. And

(33:07):
I know, like all of youwere, like your jaws dropped when you
listen to this bomb show. Andit's not something anyone who previously worked behind
the scenes wanted to talk about,just because it was very unsettling, just
like the kind of news that makesyou stick to your stomach feeling like you

(33:30):
can't do anything. But I thinkthis is the time to do something right
now. Yeah, I like knowingthat like that that does surprise me,
as like I honestly for the longesttime when I like I did my deep
dive for episode ninety four, likeI interviewed several people, and I really
thought I actually had like the fullstory knowing like, but I can understand

(33:53):
why you have withhelda I'm not likesaying that, I'm not blaming anyone for
like highen information for me, Likethat's very valid because like that is very
depressing to hear, like yet,like he didn't want this at all and
his parents are forcing him. Butthis is his channel, this is his
creation. They should have no sayin what he has to do for his
channel. That's unacceptable. It's soheartbreaking. Allegedly allegedly allegedly they shouldn't but

(34:20):
it became a family business. Allegedlyonce Yella moved back closer to Amsterdam,
like in with his family. Andthis was not long before like the channel
went viral too, and once thathappened and JMR got all the sponsorship deals,
Uh, the everyone's interest in whatYella was doing became much greater.

(34:46):
So this was when Dion started tohave greater influence in the channel. And
now you see like on the JMA, Piet who is Yell's father, is
on it, so he's directly involved. Now let's all decompressed for a second
stint. Also, you're blocked,reported can't be right strike, sorry about

(35:07):
it. Uh, let's take abreak and uh we'll come back because this
that was big take of the week. I think your parents make you play
with a fuck. We'll be rightback, all right, and we are

(35:31):
back and we are good. Wehave one mail bag and Pivot's gonna read
it. I think you might betag TV. It was somebody else,
Pivot, you can get this right, I just said, yep, I
see it all right, post MasterGeneral, play drop. Let's go.
We just got a litter. Wejust got a letter. We just got

(35:52):
a letter. Wonder who it's funactually off day as it was me a
letter from our friend. So thiss mail bag is from Wolf who is
that guy? Get blocked before CobYep, yep, this isn't get blocked

(36:20):
by him. Surprisingly, I useda free Dino hashtag in the same here
I'm not that they must just bebig MSWP people and not big GETS people.
Okay, onto the mail bag.First time sending a message into the
show, and I wish it wasunder better circumstances. But here we are
shout to our mail bagger today.I've publicly spoken out against Dionne numerous times

(36:46):
over the past two years or so, never afraid to speak my mind.
However, I always gave some benefitof the doubt whenever the circumstances behind the
drama were big. I wanted tobelieve that he could learn from his mistakes
and grow, but after everything thatis transpired is clear he won't anytime soon.
Wi Cook. Dion has been aplague on this channel for too long,

(37:07):
destroying the sense of community we havewith the channel, and other members
of JMR seem hell bent on defendinghim every step of the way. I'm
sure you've all discussed everything that's takenplace, so I won't repeat it here.
Instead, I'm just going to saythat I'm exceptionally disappointed in how many
bridges they've burnt and how many liesthey've told. Minos Jmar can't take on

(37:28):
another person's video, YouTube's video removalsetting in the copyright tab on YouTube studio.
Am I a joke to you?It's so sad that a community meant
to be an escape for real lifedrama conflict has developed to this point.
I want to go back to thedays where I could laugh about how absurd
the role play of all of itis at only negative the only negative to

(37:52):
worry about, or some event flaws. But now it's all being tadd by
greed, malice, deception, andfucking incompetence. I hate it. I
really fucking hate it. Hey shoutout to Wolf. The first fucking was
added by him, but the secondone was me. Yeah, we fuck

(38:13):
here. Fuck copyright strike reported,yeah, reported twice. I reported them
too. Okay, I see allright. So, yeah, this is
a tough topic. Thank you Willfor the wet mail bag. You didn't
know you were gonna be out here, so I did not not at the

(38:35):
time. No, I had tofucking it though. So uh, I
guess basically to just jump back intothis minos fucking love vetus, fucking love
vetus. Uh. He posted onBreddit a thread basically covering Dion's ass and
stinth you want to take it.Yeah, So a couple of days before

(39:00):
this was on Friday, Mino's posteda message saying an individual's opinion. Oh
this was in a Marble based discord. By the way, so Friday three
am Eastern times still banned from there. By the way, an individual's opinion
on a specific matter doesn't reflect theview of the entire team. I understand

(39:23):
then individual may cause mayhem, butthat doesn't mean I agree nor Jim does
with what this individual says about fanmade communities. We hugely admire the people
here and on Reddit. Your messageis negative or positive, paved the way
of Jmr. I am with you. He also said if I were you,

(39:43):
I would ignore such individuals. Onlythe individual can fix these issues,
since it's beyond my ability. Ifocus on important things, meaning you all.
I don't see this as a communityfallout. First of all, let
me all. Let me let youwell know. People were blocked on x
Twitter are now unblocked. When Isee a problem, I resolve. I

(40:05):
don't like fallouts. Rather action,keep the issues coming in. I will
do my best of the ability tofix these. You know what I can't
fix mentality. Then you talked aboutthe copyright strike, which we'll get into.
As I say, I can't teama Maverick, but I cleaned its
ship. Apologies for the language.Then you said, also Project morbor Worth

(40:25):
was blocked. Geez, that isfixed. T O d R clean up.
And then who else is blocked?Tell me I will fix it.
I don't know which accounts should beremain blocked because of fishing or fraud,
but if you are still blocked,DM me and I will fix it A
S F P A P. Andthen today today Minos posted a j MR

(40:47):
controversies and petition for Mino's Joe andCompany. Before before you continue with that,
I also just idm Jim uh,probably about two days ago. I
just told him, Hey, doyourself a favor and just like stay out
of this ship as much as youpossibly can. And his response via DM

(41:13):
and Hey Jim, sorry about it. He said, he's my direct boss
and the guy that pays me shrug. So if that's a valid excuse for
you, I mean, maybe timeto get a better job. Yeah.
Continue, So in line with that, talking about people who've worked with JMR.

(41:35):
Since Mino's posted that and since thekind of controversies and petition fred today,
two members of the JMA have resigned. One of them is the emperor
who works with the JMA something.The other is shout out, m thank
you for everything you've done for thecommunity. We love you. He was

(41:58):
the guy was giving us intel oflike who's raising it events, I shout
out to a crucial member. Yeah, my opinion, it's not a leak.
He didn't have to do that,and he really cared about this community
and wanted to see it succeed,and I bet he still does even if

(42:19):
he's resigned. The other is FireMarble, who I didn't know was onto
JMA until he told us in there. Make sure you go watch basicit Marble,
basket, Marble, soccer, Marble, whatever the hell he's promoted.
I guess I don't know welt disgenuous, but I still do love Fire
Marble. I'll also say this regardingintern Jim, who is an intern who's

(42:46):
getting paid by JMR. I postedsomething yesterday on I run the Marble Leak
Twitter I have since twenty eighteen,saying it seems that the official JMAR account
is reblocking Ocean media accounts that wereunblocked by minos who said who we just
said, unblocked them, committed tounblocking them and then Jim commented on that

(43:08):
and said, to the person whoruns this account, you are ridiculous,
And I retweeted that quote, tweetedthat say Dion manually reporting Vella criticism about
YouTube giving Contact creators a copyright strickblocking JBR dedicated accounts for criticizing that Minos
unblocking them, Dion doubling down onblocking, removing hashtag free the Dino comments

(43:35):
on YouTube on the elimination race video. Hey fuck it, we're the ridiculous
ones. I guess right. It'sjust really unsettling because we saw what Minos
said the day before, and itseemed to us that Minos stands with the
community, and all we want isto feel like other members of JMR feel

(43:55):
the same. And I did notget that sense yesterday when I was replied
to by Jim, and and that'sa real shame. Like I'll just say
about Minos, like I know,I kind of bashed him in my mailbag.
Here's the thing I can understand,like like his position does not allow
him enough power to really do anything about Dion, but at times it

(44:16):
really does feel like he's kind ofalso defending him too. So I don't
know how to feel about Minos.On one minute, it sounds like he's
like on our side, but theother times it sounds like he's trying to
defend Dion, so like it ishe on our side. I genuinely can't
tell. I don't know how tofeel about him. I don't want to
assume the worst I think when itcomes to Medos, like he has good

(44:38):
intentions but is ill informed, ifthat makes any sense. The fact that
he was talking about like YouTube postsnot being able to be like manually removed
via like you know it's YouTube doingit? Hey, YouTube doing this?
It wasn't. And I don't knowif he understands like the working hib but

(45:00):
I think he has best intentions inmind. And I really fucking love Minos
because he's a good guy and he'sdoing a lot of work to make this
channel awesome while also like trying tocover Dion's ass, which is like at
this point, like how can youseriously Minos has done the job of a

(45:21):
graphic designer, a composer, acommunity manager, and so much more in
the past two years, Like youcan choose to disagree with him. You
may not have even had like themost pleasant experiences with him in the community.
But what he's done to keep JMRrunning, Like, you can't deny

(45:43):
any of that. You have tohave respect for that. No, I
always respect that. He doesn't askfor it, but he should. He
should receive that based off of atleast what he has done. So like,
unless I'm mistaken, Minos has basicallytaken all the role of uh mel
Melochis is forward job which he usedto do. A bunch of the editing

(46:06):
he used to do, like thegraphics kind of run the JMRC. I
believe we have a quote from Melicusabout the whole situation as well. Well,
real quick, what'd you have?Uh, it was kind of mainly
this the same thing, like yeah, like he like, I can respect
everything he has done because, yeah, the amount of roles he has,

(46:28):
Like I've done bits and pieces ofsome of the roles things he's done in
other projects, so I know howhard a lot of the things he does
is that he has to do everysingle week, Like that is that's a
lot. I can respect the amountof stress that he is under. But
it's still still like the way heresponds to me sometimes really gives me,
rubs me the wrong way, andit doesn't send put in paint himself in

(46:52):
a very good light at times.I understand why you feel that find that.
So I found this and it isa lot of reading, but I'll
try to speed through it. Somel and Friday said, I think I
caught up with all the message isnow good to see at least someone approaching
the community and being able to handlecriticism, Thank you Minos. But to

(47:15):
see jmr and I would assume Dionblocking fans on mass on Twitter over valid
criticism has got to be an alltime low. I can speak for everyone
when I say, we're well awarethat this is not the general teams doing.
We're not stupid, and it's reallykind of you and also Jim to
step in and shed light on thesethings. But ultimately it's not up to

(47:35):
you to own up to these mistakes. Whoever is responsible for this controversy needs
to do that themselves. But sincethese controversies are nothing new and rather an
all repeating cycle, I think youcan understand why so many fans are pessimistic
about the situation. They feel likethe community isn't valued at all. I
often hear that fans should just enjoythe content and don't be so negative about

(47:55):
everything. Hear me out when Isay, from my experience of running the
merge, the Patreon, and thecommunity for years, that these aren't the
fans that make the channel successful.If the community doesn't flourish at its core,
the regular positive vibes only viewers arenot going to carry the channel to
success. Basically the effect you seeat the moment, they simply don't care

(48:19):
enough to be invested, both emotionallyand financially to such a degree that really
helps the channel. Maybe think aboutthat more, really insightful. Glad to
Semel's perspective. There. Hey anddon aka melochisk sh sh hell yeah,

(48:43):
Mel, you're the fucking best man. We miss you. We missed the
JMRC. This ship did not happenunder the jmrc's watch, and I guess
that's probably why they disbanded. Nowwe got the JMA deal with, You
got a bunch of people spreading misinformationmetos dot knowing how the YouTube id content
versus copyright strike works, and we'rejust kind of in this thing. I

(49:07):
don't know how much of this youcan honestly blame on the JMA, though
they zero none. The way youphrased it, We're gonna get to them
later. Ok, Okay, yeahthat's fair. But like it's all yeah,
there's there's just there's nothing that anybodycan do about this except for Dion.

(49:29):
Honestly, I think Meno said itpretty pretty well. All he needs
to do is say sorry and bebetter. Yeah, be better. Yeah.
I think just to wrap up thelike talk about what Minos does.
It's very clear days she should nothave this many responsibilities and he also just

(49:49):
shouldn't have to deal with dion shipbehind the scenes. So like, if
I were him, I would tellhim to move on. Uh JMR controversies.
This post that he made today hebrought to light like kind of four
issues. One the video is beingremoved to the Twitter users being blocked.
Three the subtitle fiasco, and fourProject morbil Worth versus JMR, which is

(50:14):
tangential and to be honest, Idon't want to talk about it. So
then a bunch of people responded tothis too. We pinned it as the
subreddit mods because we wanted people tosee and engage with this side of the
conflict, just as we did withDinoside. It's totally relevant to what's happening

(50:35):
in the community. So again,like we got to talk about it,
and the responses were mixed if youtake a look, so I'd encourage everyone
to like click the link. Iwant to beat a dead horse here.
Look at the thread. There's inaccuraciesfrom Beatos about how YouTube works, and

(50:58):
that's not his fault. He doesn'tactually run the YouTube channel. But between
content ID and actual manual copyright strikes, there's a whole right thing in between,
right, it seems the issues werethat what Minos was explaining was a
content I do you claim and thatisn't what happened. These videos were copyright

(51:22):
struck and taken down, so someonefrom the channel had to have manually filed
a verified legal takedown request, whichis how both of these got removed.
And there are links in that commentthat I made that show everything. And
then my post my comment got reported, which I don't know how when I

(51:43):
I I copyright straight now, hey, enjoy that. Enjoy that copyright.
What other people were commenting is thatlike, this doesn't address that there have
been repeated issues with Yawn interacting withfans, and they feel like it's not

(52:05):
going to like like what Minos postedis him trying to be open, but
he doesn't think it's going to changeanything, so cut like people don't think
he'll change anything. It's it's tough. You know what, I'm here right
now. That's your third fucking trike. Get off the goddamn podcast right down.
That's a copyright pak. No,It's like, all right, so,

(52:34):
uh, I think we summed itup pretty well. Do do better?
Just take some personal responsibility for theshitty fucking things that you do.
And hey, we loved when youwere on the podcast. You know you
told us tss covid doo vod thatwas all baggers, marble mediacs. But

(52:55):
listen, man, if you wantto live in your own fucking bubble and
you want to just like throw criticismto the wind and not take accountability for
it, we're not going to standfor it. Sorry. You know your
brother like you need to stand upfor him in some ways, but this

(53:15):
ain't the fucking route that you needto take, Dion, And we're sick
of it. We're sick of yourfucking shitty attitude and how you respect,
your disrespect your fucking employees and yourfan base that supports you financially. And
this is fucked up, you knowwhat. I wish that we could have

(53:36):
just talked about the events tonight,but that's that's not happening. We will
give a fancy update to Bett.It's got you're ready for that? Yeah,
I got it all right, wellefullyyou got. There's just one last
piece of the story and I'm gonnaget through this as fast as i can.
Uh. Basically, so we kindof mentioned there's one jam A member
who probably should be unblast, andthat's Underwood Underwood Francis, Oh yeah,

(54:01):
Conrad Uh, Conrad Hines also FrankUnderwood, like the problematic guy from What
the Hell's that Move? That showon Netflix, Kevin Spacey. Uh,
I'm not sure what you're referring toUnderwood. You know. No, it's

(54:23):
ironic because their Facebook profile picture wasKevin Spacey. I can't believe Kevin Spacey,
that problematic fuck watches jfr Hey,everybody, Well from the future here.
I thought that I should clarify somethings because when we recorded this segment,
I felt like I kind of rushedthrough it and also didn't have all

(54:43):
the full information. So I'm hereto give you both an abridged version of
what I said. But also amuch clear version of what I said.
So essentially, there's a JM membernamed Francis Underwood who the community has recently
found out goes by the name ofConrad Hines. On Reddit. They were
considering their identity as a JMA memberthrough their user name Conrad Hines and posting

(55:04):
results early but under the guise ofstrangely accurate predictions. Steve gave some great
examples, so term I want toput those in right here. I did
a lot of research on Reddit onyou Conrad Heinz's page, and the results
that I found of just like kindof teasing and also like anti marble hate

(55:28):
was shocking. So there's a commentfrom October fifteenth, twenty twenty two.
So someone said there's one problem withlike taking an optimistic view in the pinkies,
The pinkies are trash, and ConradHines responded, you're gonna regret what
you have said today. A littlebit after that, they made a comment

(55:52):
on this thread saying hold on'sloading itwas the haters guy to Marble League twenty
twenty two that are posted, andConrad responded with why not make something quite
bold like pinky smash everything? Andwin the league. Another comment said on

(56:15):
a water race discussion, Fred said, someone said, as a Pinky's diehard
fan, this is the greatest dayof my life, and Contract responded,
so far, thank you Stint,thank you Tom, and now back to
this. They also did things likeposting articles that directly attacked other marbles like
prim Hazy and Red Number Three.Because of this behavior, people suspect that

(56:37):
Francis may have actually been the onewho's influencing Greg's scripts. There's been a
lot of scripted drama in Greg's commentaryrecently, and people suspect that they're either
influencing the person in charge of thescripts to put it in, or they
themselves are in charge of the scriptand are adding it themselves. Obviously,
there's no way to know until someoneon the jay actually, you know,
like posts some evidence of this personbeing the one to influence it. But

(57:00):
it definitely makes sense. This lastbit that sorrow Toby left me with was
also speculation, But I think it'sfair to bring up this perspective because it's
just as valid as the one we'vebeen putting out here of like saying that

(57:20):
it's all Dion's fault. Essentially,they gave the hypothetical situation that Dion may
not have made this decision on theirown, and instead someone like Francis,
given their history, actually went directlyto Dion spread some false information about the
Chinese community and how poorly it's runand whatnot to justify everyone being kicked off
and having the job passed over tothem. There's actually some evidence to back

(57:44):
this up, as the team that'snow in charge of the Billy Billy channel
whiteboard is made up of at leastthree JMA members, Francis being one of
them. And in case you're wonderinghow they're doing, they actually blocked an
active marble Gajinka artist someone who areRick I really enjoy you gu on Billy
Billy after she commented that she didn'twant to see controversial content that emphasized the

(58:07):
conflicts between teams, which again furthersupports the idea that Francis is actively trying
to include drama within the scripts andthey don't like that people are complaining about
their choice. So with that inmind, it's entirely possible that Dion did

(58:29):
these things not out of malice,but out of the false belief that he
was doing the right thing. Thismay make things a little bit better for
Dion, but not by much,because he still made this decision without actually
asking the other side about their opinionand their side of the story, which
is so incredibly incompetent and shortsighted thatit's just it's it's insane. It's so

(58:57):
insane if this is actually the caseat the end of the day, at
this point, Dion should recognize thathe made a mistake just from all the
backlash and how everything's been going,But as we already know, he has
not apologized nor gone back on hisdecisions. He refuses to ever take responsibility
for his actions, regardless of whetheror not he made this choice on his

(59:19):
own volition or what he was influencedby a third party. It honestly doesn't
matter. Francis sounds like a prettyterrible person, so honestly, get them
out too. But for Dion itdoesn't change anything, really, because that's
just one instance on top of amultitude of others. Who cares if he
made the choice on his own ornot. He's still doubling down, He's

(59:40):
still continuing to be the irredeemable pieceof crap that he's always been. Well
that's all I have. Uh,So I believe that this next segment in
the show is more light hearted.So here you go, so hopefully,

(01:00:00):
you know, brighten things up justa little bit. All right, back
to the show. All right,we're getting too deep in this ship.
So what I'm going to do issaid it was a trans perfect means of
city Bull winner, Jesus Citrus bullparticipant, great son, half man,

(01:00:22):
half marathon runner, our favorite commissioner, my best friend, a man of
many classes, and the astro Dinjatake over a fantasy. All right.

It would be like te te butthey had to go do the Fruit
League prophecy and some bullshit that didn'tfucking matter. I didn't watch everybody didn't
watch it. The prophecy didn't panout. It did pan out, but

Pass. Yes, I just showedup for the podcast. Yes, I

(01:05:15):
have been busy with my Toronto mapleleaves, and I do not go in
diving in to the bullshit with thebehind the scenes. But I knew that
the Snowballs, knew that hy twoqu was not for you, and I
knew that the Royal Rollers would rollto glory, and we saw the elimination

(01:05:40):
race. And I'm gonna get thefuck out of here before you guys talk
about the ot anymore. Fair enough, fair enough, all right, right
hand, Just a quick little thingwhere Decker is. He's actually sixteenth place
overall, so he's doing pretty yeah, you know. I know. Anyways,

(01:06:00):
since this was an episode where wetalked a lot about certain individuals,
a lot of these individuals we've talkedabout are also enrolled in our Big Yets,
Big Takes fan fantasy, so Ifigured why not highlight them as well.
Let's figure out who got blocked duringthis time while you're doing the top
five god all right, well,in twenty fifth place in the fan fantasy,

(01:06:24):
we have stint with the team ofO Rangers, Savage Beaters, Team

now. Reported Wait so I am. I tried saying that, but Term
was louder than me, and Iwas blocked. The Marble Wars account was

(01:06:49):
double blocked. You got a multipliertriple blocks, all right. And then
one other person that I've noticed we'vetalked a lot about out just kind of
quickly scrolling through the fan fantasy roster, it's our man Thesaurus Dinosaurus hashtag free

(01:07:09):
for the dino well hashtag he's joinedour fan Fantasy and I hate to say
it, guys, he's kicking everysingle one of our asses because in fifteenth
place, just one over Decker,we have the Thesaurus Dinosaurus, the team

point five points, just one pointahead of Decker. I did ask him

(01:07:30):

(01:13:02):
Dion. You fuck let it rollfor all. I don't even know where

(01:13:29):
to start with this. All Ido know is that I need to talk
about this before I can get excitedabout the qualifiers. This past week has
been nothing but bad pr for thischannel. Since the start of the Marble
League back when it was still theMarble Olympics, JMR wanted to be a
real sporting league, despite the competitionbeing composed of marbles and not you know,

(01:13:54):
humans. With a k fabe firmlyin place and a niche market starting
to grow, the time was rightto hit the mainstream. The Oat Show
on ESPN was a good start,and the pandemic shutting down everything led for
John Oliver and last Week Tonight toshine a huge spotlight on it. This

(01:14:14):
got them the larger international attention,but it still wasn't enough. They needed
to be a mainstream sports league.And what better way to act the part
than with the power hungry co commissionerwho makes wildly unpopular opinions against the will
of fans and who screws over thepeople who put in the most work.
That's right, Dion, Come ondown. I've roasted balls of glass and

(01:14:39):
called out teams in good fun.These are marbles, mind, you,
But now I need to call outthe person who needs to be called out.
Now. Those who have been inthe community for long enough know that
Dion is no stranger to controversy.Most of it is embarrassing posts from his
time in control of the official JMRsocial media, including but not limited to

(01:15:02):
posting a picture of his kid takinga shot on Instagram. But what transpired
this past week is even more heinousthan that. For years, JMR had
built up a rapport with the Chinesecommunity over on the site Billy Billy,
which is sometimes referred to as ChineseYouTube. A group of fans reached out

(01:15:23):
and wanted to make these videos accessibleto a larger audience by adding subtitles and
posting them to the site. SeeWhile Billy Billy is often referred to as
Chinese YouTube, it's more like Reddit. While it's still a video site,
there's a community feature where JMR fansin China make their own art, fan
fictions, and even lower. Whilethe subtitle team was working on translating the

(01:15:47):
Freak Marbles tournament, they realized theycouldn't access their Billy Billy account. They
thought they were hacked. They didn'tknow what was happening, and then two
hours later a message appeared on thepage saying that new JMA members would take
over the Billy Billy account for translatingand uploading. The new owners then deleted

(01:16:10):
articles from the page that were previoustranslations, and some of them were originals.
This is basically a coup. Theformer manager took to Reddit and discord,
telling their side of the story,which is what I'm reading off.
They also put out a video whichyou should watch. I linked it in

(01:16:30):
the description and in one of thosetag thingies on the screen. Keep in
mind, when this group started translatingthe videos, they were in communication with
the JMRC, but when the jmrSED dissolved, they had to make contact
through don and the only times thatDion even reached out to them was for

(01:16:53):
the money that the channel made.Just like YouTube, Billy Billy allows monetization
on videos. Now I get thatit's intellectual property and all that, and
you're using the site to expand business, but I don't know, man,
maybe a hey, how are you? Once in a while, you can't

(01:17:14):
treat people like this. At leasttell someone they're fired if you fire them,
if it were incompetence, that wouldbe one thing, but Dion is
well aware of his actions and thelack thereof. This is vile treatment of
fans and of staff. If youwanted someone in the JMA in charge of

(01:17:38):
the translation and the channel management,you could have brought in the crew that
was already doing just that nothing else. You could always make the subtitles yourself.
You even had an opportunity to saveface, and this is what you
do with it, arrogance, guests, lighting, and all around behavior on

(01:18:01):
company time. There's a reason thatJMRC voted to dissolve rather than continue working
with Dion. And I hate tosay it, but the channel has gone
downhill ever since Eon wanted creative controlat the expense of what made the channel
what it is. Marbula one hastaken mainstage well, the Showdown is left

(01:18:23):
as an asterisk, and the sandrally is all but dead. It's time
to face hard facts. If Dionweren't yell as Family, he would have
been fired long ago. Is thisany way to talk to someone airing out
a grievance against you? If someoneat any other company made this remark,

(01:18:44):
their ass would be grasped before theyhit send. I'm willing to bet if
anyone else who works in the JMAdid the same, they would at least
be reprimanded. Why does he getpreferential treatment? We need to remember it's
called Yella's marble runs, not Dion'sand thank God for that. Is this

(01:19:08):
a call for Dion to step awayfrom the channel. Let's see if he
at least apologizes to the subtitle crewfirst. But I won't hold my breath.
So Dion, appreciate and pay thepeople who put in thankless work for
you, or, in the immortalwords of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, get

(01:19:30):
ready to learn Chinese, buddy.So where do we as a community go
from here? Well, as Tobyput it in their video, don't take
it out on the marbles. Themarbles are innocent, and I agree we
shouldn't boycott the league we love justbecause a higher up doesn't appreciate the product
as much as we do. I'mactually calling for the opposite, an anti

(01:19:56):
boycott. If you recall this pastMLB season, the Oakland A's had very
loud whispers of moving the team toLas Vegas, alienating the fans and desecrating
the history of the franchise. Winswere at an all time low, attendance
was at a record low, andthe stadium was decrepit and decaying in an

(01:20:17):
obvious attempt for locals to stop caringso they could move and no one would
miss them. The thing none ofthe higher ups accounted for is that fans
loved their team more than the assholewho called the shots. The fans staged
in anti boycott to show support fortheir team in spite of their owner.
They sold out the stadium, broughtT shirts and signs that called for the

(01:20:41):
owner to sell the team and forthe A's to stay in Oakland. Those
chants echoed throughout the Bay Area andtraveled with the team as other fans showed
their support at their away games andeven at the MLB All Star Game.
We need to do an anti boycottof the showdown. It turns out that
it's just one video. Make itthe most viewed video on the JMR channel.

(01:21:05):
I mean that we can't let goodthings die on our watch. I
will see you after the qualifiers andafter every single JMR video this season,
So make sure you like and subscribeso you don't miss out. Support me
on KOFE and Red bubble. Rememberthere's a made cord out there, and

(01:21:30):
now we can be hype about thequalifiers. Oh,
