Episode Transcript

(00:00):
That's let's try and have her doneby Let's try and have this done by
eight, because I want to watchsome of the Leaf game. You have
three TVs in front of you,but I'm watching Marbles. You have three
TVs. So what you don't haveto talk about the marbles anymore? Just
if I can't watch it and thegames. Fun may have been taking off

(00:24):
the menu last week, but weare back and guess what the Savage Beeters
might be taking fun off the menuagain. We're here to try about the
last three events. To sit back, strap down, let it roll.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Hey, everybody, Welcome to the number one

(00:57):
podcast in Marble sports. That isI'm your host term to night. I
am joined by the number one Gannadiotof all time, Dead of the year
mostly Gannadian invited enthusiast, a goodbookie, a great gambler, and Bog's
best friend. That's Decker. It'sup Deck. Oh, you know,

(01:18):
just chilling man. Catching up onthe Marble League at two events a week
is hard, but I've just beenslacking so caught up on everything, and
I'm very very excited about the RojoRollers. I'd be yeah, I hoped
about the Roo Rollers, but weknow your front running ass is probably ecstatic
about the goddamn Savage Speeders. Again. We might have to get into that

(01:41):
this episode, all right, Andwe are also joined by the Postman,
the duck boy, Shore There,the conductor, and a member of the
editorial board of Project Marble Earth.That's Hector. It's up, Actor.
I'm good. It's nice to finallybe back on an episode after missing so
many due to just being too busyhe in real life. But I am

(02:04):
back, and I'm ready to talkmarbles because it has been too long.
I maany have you missed like one, two, two? Probably at most?
Like you know, I don't missmany, but Hector had like one
hundred episode streak where he didn't missone. No, I know, and
I finally started losing it this league. I'll just do that to you.
But uh yeah, transfer music,bullwear. He couldn't be here, Wow,

(02:27):
child Pippet she couldn't be here,and basic bitch Nhanigan could not be
here tonight. So it's just threeamigos here hanging out and uh hey,
that's our new title, Three Amigos. Nah sorry been taken. Yeah,
I like it so we're gonna getinto the last three events, which is
Swingwave. Well, actually, wasit Legion Fuck March or something? Legion

(02:52):
March Wave, which is a wayworse name, yeah, way worse Liminationia
Race, which was awesome and bangerthe G Force G Force, So it
was that like a G Unit reference, right, That's exactly what it was.
I tried. I tried to givevey it on Twitter as well.

(03:13):
I was just like G Force isin the books. We're old man,
Yeah you're old. Yeah, wellyou know fifty centence like a water company
or something. Now, so Ubut let's get into uh, the Legion
fuck March not not gonna lie guysdidn't watch it. I don't blame you.

(03:36):
I did watch it, and whatOkay, so it was fine,
it was swing wave again, butwhat the fuck was the deal with all
of these marbles get stuck in likenumber two, number three like this never
has happened before in the past,and for some reason immediately fucked the Orager's
over. I had a couple ofother teams that I don't really give a
shit about, but I didn't lovethis thing. Did that actually happen?

(03:59):
Because no, no joke, Ididn't watch this. I literally can only
do the swing wave once a year, and Qualifiers is just lucky enough to
have it. So that's where theyget my view, marbles were getting stuck
in like two and three. Ahman, Yeah, I mean that was
probably because we were They didn't changethe track. It was the same size
track, but they had five marblesper team instead of four, which like,

(04:21):
honestly, I'm not sure if Ilike that or NOTx Like it does
mean we get more use out ofa lower tiers, but like also like
that kind of when they finally movedinto the cumulative scoring, like it both
runs count now rather than just thebest run. I feel like because so
many teams lost out on that.Like you had teams that were having really
good runs not putting any marbles inthe catch basin at all, but like

(04:43):
you're still getting lower scores because onerun you have a lot of them trapped
in the earlier bit. And I'mnot sure I like that. Yeah,
I mean, I'm back here onthis one. Just get rid of it.
Yeah, it's just one of thoseevents that you know, it feels
like a filler event, and it'snot even a good filler. It's like
it's like a Boston cream donut whereand the bar and the jelly is no

(05:06):
good. It's already expired, Likeyou know, it's just it's it's no
good. Get it out of here. I like the doughnut as a whole,
but I don't like the filler.Man, there's no jelly at a
Boston cream donut. There's cream.What's the other one called with the red
jelly in there? Ut? Isthat just a jelly donut? It's like

(05:27):
if you're the same ship. Yeah. Like I really like this event when
it first came out, but likethe novelty is worn off, and like
I agree, it definitely feels likea filler event. So just like I
wouldn't be overly upset. There's alot of events that I think could do
with going first, but I wouldn'tbe overly upset if it's pipe, half
pipe, way better half pipe,Newton's Cradle, long jump, long jump,

(05:50):
high jump pipe on the jumps back, yeah, I mean I would
jump back because that's guaranteed gold forthe oragers. Hi. I always found
was exciting, especially when they're breakingrecord after record on multiple runs. It's
super cool. That was a whata half pipe back? Because that's guarantee
goal for the overrange, right,I mean, but it's just a classic

(06:12):
too, man Like, Yeah,it was super fun when it came out
the swing waves. You've done it, You've tried it. I don't think
there's anybody out there that would argueremoving it for something else. Yeah,
Like, it's just one of thoseevents. Is like, it's not the
worst thing in the world, butremoving it would free up a spot for
a more interesting event, like justthe Pinkies. It was their first gold

(06:36):
medal and also team moment finally didsomething. They got second. Oh right,
I did open the video just togo check the standings. Fast forward,
everything got to the end, sawwho I thought was the Snowballs on
the TV. I'm like, oh, my team got a gold and no,
it turned out to be the Pinkies. Then I'm like, definitely not
watching this. Yeah, and sorryto say that the Snowballs came full given

(07:00):
that runs had three in the zero. Who's in last place? Crazy cat
size? Nice? Yeah, Ithink had the lowest score of the day
with fourteen on their first run.I think the last episode or the least
event that we cover that last episode, but uh yeah, Block pushing,
where they also did fucking terrible.Oh yeah, I mean that's just because

(07:23):
they're crap at block pushing. Everyoneknows that. Yeah, they're missing.
But I don't really have anything aboutsweet Wave. I hate it. Get
out of here. Bringing Dude's greatwill bring it? Uh anything anything?
Literally, yeah, literally anything elsediving at this point, Well, don't
go too far Decadeyeah no, hey, at least I'll watch it. Don't

(07:46):
go too far. Yeah, justbring back one of the jumps or the
half pipe, like something a bitmore interesting next year. Yeah, for
sure. So speaking of interesting,Yeah, speaking of interesting is act.
They're just fucking said, Hey,let's get to the best event of the
goddamn year. Elimination race. Itis man every year this is in the

(08:09):
league. I always explain this ismy favorite event jmar I've ever done.
This year just once again proved whyI think this might be my favorite go
around of it at all, ifnot for a few things they'll get into
later. This was easily the mostmemorable elimination race ever. It was the
most iconic. This could be oneof the best single events in all of

(08:31):
the Marble League and in Marble Sports. It was exciting, it went down
to the wire and like the RojoRollers, the underdogs of the century twenty
sixteen to over two thousand days,over two thousand days since they sat upon
that podium. My god, yourtime. That is the longest gold draught

(08:54):
that we've seen in Jmr gar Maady. I loved it. Finally ended and
it was such a good moment.Like I was looking at breakdowns on Reddit
and stuff because like I'm the personout of the three of us that does
that. And like they were insecond for the entirety of that final until
like the last second. Yeah,like they were behind for the entire thing,

(09:16):
but just nailed that line. JustI love this week to buy them
too, Like we were we weremillimeters from each other. Yeah, like
team Plasma one taking a line thatyou usually think is a bad line rote
her role has just found the perfectrun through the entire middle of it.
Yeah, they did a crazy job. It was absolutely ridiculous And I couldn't

(09:39):
even be mad that my team didn'tget gold, because like how could I
be mad at that? Oh?You kid? And if you guys,
it's not just the finals, it'snot just the photo finish, It's not
only the event it was everything,all the teams, everybody was exciting to
watch, and there was so muchups and downs in the early stages of
the event. Oh my god,the Old Rangers staying alive a couple of

(10:05):
times, you know, crushing itin a couple in a few Like I
was really watching them a lot becauseI got them as my three times points
and no single don't single points,and I need they're on your team.
Yeah, yeah, but that's becauseyou're a clown. And uh yeah,
you should be rapping double points atleast with that. We don't even have
triple points. We should talk whatever, double points, triple points, whatever.

(10:28):
Man, who's the leading with thecommissioner. I don't know. I
haven't looked at it yet for surprise, all right, I haven't checked since
Nanagon was killing it by like eightypoints. Yeah. I had a look
earlier, but I only saw thetop five and none of us were in
it. Yeah. I know youweren't odd last week, and you don't
listen to like the bullshit when thereis bullshit. You worried the lead last

(10:50):
week, Maybe let's go, let'sgo. I don't know if that's all
it off. Yeah, you're youwere the lead was pretty fucking dope,
all right, But yeah, likeelimination Raceman, hands down that that event.
If that ever went away, Imight stop watching the Marble League because

(11:11):
I'm here for that. Yeah.Never take out the elimination race, please,
it is the best event. Uhyeah. I like the track layout.
It's fucking amazing, with the grabtracks, with all like the trap
doors, like the little pieces thatcan fall if like a marble triggers them,
like the sea saw that, They'rejust everything. So dope, do

(11:35):
you think taking this highlight or thelow line was more bad ficial? I'm
saying highlight. It's hard to say. I would say high line. But
you know what, I saw alot of guys stay alive taking that low
line. You just have to takeit right. It's fair. Yeah,
I mean, honestly, my onlycomplaint about the entire event was just like
compared to previous track layouts for theelimination race, this one wasn't my favorite,

(11:58):
but like it's tiny in comparison,So everything else about this, like
I'd like to see maybe more changeto the track now was we got fewer
marbles like they had last year,But like this is just nitpicking for the
best event. Wait wait, Hector, you're telling me they would actually change
it as the event. Yeah,like you go back and watch the twenty

(12:18):
twenty two version, Like they changedup the they didn't change up the whole
thing, like they changed up thestarting layout of the whole thing. No,
where they had more marbles. Also, there was like one point in
the past where like they left thestuff that was like triggered down, Yeah,
instead of resetting it. I can'tremember when that was, but I'm
not sure, but we've definitely talkedabout it on the podcast. But one

(12:39):
thing that I didn't love was thestarting gate going into like basically a funnel.
I feel like that kind of game. Yeah, that was a bit
dullgy the middle teams like seems startingin the middle like a little bit more
of it. Admitted it's like thewater last year. Yeah, water race
last year, the same thing,like we I remember we argued for eight

(13:00):
just about that. I mean Maysdid as well, which we have not
covered base. We're gonna do thatin our all We'll cover it eventually,
but all events, video or podcastwhatever. I remember why you want to
cover it, and of course youwant to cover it, Yeah, because
the guys on the outside. Theygot screwed. That's what everybody's telling me

(13:20):
on the air that we'll get tothat talked about, talked about it.
That's the only like that and eventsare the only ones that were skipping at
this point right now. Yeah,that video overshadowed. Yeah, it's just
a little bit of budget. Inmy mind, it looks like the marbles

(13:41):
I have in my little bin righthere. Yeah, but you know there's
that, there's a little budget things. That's what the kids can make.
I know, we get their ownbase. Think about the kids, come
on. Oh yeah, but yeah, elimination race was crazy. I can't
believe that throw a roller swad likethat was absolutely absurd, so exciting.

(14:01):
Yeah, and I talked about itwhen I when I drafted them on my
fantasy team this year, I said, this team ever since they made that
coaching change last year mid Marble leaguerto the end of the Marble League,
it was so beneficial. Red andGold baby, let's go. Yeah.
Yeah, Like, honestly, ofthe teams around the top five right now,

(14:22):
the Roho Rollers are the one Iwant to win the most because,
like something about the Bumblebees irks meSavage Speeders. Of course, I don't
want them to win Pinky's rather racesthey've won before. Roo Rollers they're in
third right now. I want theirredemption. I think everybody does at this
point. If you're not a bigSavage Speeders fan, bumble Bees fan,
like you want the Rojo Rollers.Yeah, like, if you're not a

(14:43):
Savage Speeders fan, you want somebodyelse to win. If you're not a
Bumblebees fan among those, then youwant the Roha Rollers to win. I
will say one thing. So theShotting Swarm they got last of this sad
sterling was it it? The soloartist was not it? And uh yeah,
that's a mistake. It had tobe the problem because yeah, Shiny

(15:05):
comes in he's probably the bass playerof the whole band and just trying to
go solo again, like just like, hey, the band's breaking up,
I'm going solo too. It's justlike, nope, no, you're not
last place. Sorry about Yeah,that's uh, that's that's pretty tough.
And uh, just notice that theGliding Glaciers are actually in this league.

(15:28):
Anybody know that. I keep forgettingabout them. They've had glimpses, but
they just never finished. They can'tfinish. They have zero finish this team.
They're gliding for something and it hatefucking glory. Yeah not this time.
Uh you guys got any other thoughtson elimination race? Never take it

(15:50):
away, one of the greatest ofall time. Keep doing it, bingo.
I have nothing to add. Shoutout to Roussie Gig fifteenth. That's
what I sholker off the last year. But the only fucking time they ever't
got our way this whole season.It's me of events where the Raspberry Racers

(16:11):
get metal with the Oragers. Let'smove on the g Force. I didn't
watch the original thing, so Iwas coming to this blind. I thought
it was kind of like the blackHole funnel. Just in my mind,
is not that at all? Nothinglike that, especially the start man when
they're all just sitting there all slow, with that little spin, like everybody's
getting warmed up. Okay, who'sgonna do it, Who's gonna do it?

(16:33):
Okay, let's go, and theydo a little They do a little
dance around the bell for a second. They do a little dance, and
then everybody gets going and out comesto chacha and everybody's salsa and they're getting
going it's crazy, man, I'mall about the g force, so I
was thinking, like it says alsolike when they're in their their gates respectively,

(16:53):
kind of rolling around, it feltlike a hakka like yeah yeah,
where it's just like we're dude,put on your scariest face. Yeah yeah,
yeah yeah, like warriors getting readyto go into battle. It's rare.
This event was unbelievable in my opinion. It's super cool man. Yeah.

(17:15):
I was kind of mediocre on itwhen they had the one off tournament
before this league, but like it'sgrown on me after watching it now because
like seeing more of it, Likeit's a really exciting event once you actually
have more to care about. Ohtotally man. And the length of it
an eighteen minute video, and Iwasn't bored at all watching it. I
felt like Greg was really tuned in. He had enough time to pause and

(17:38):
think about what he was going tosay next, and it was everything just
flowed nicely in the video and itall in all, great event. I
thoroughly enjoyed it. The one offI remember watching it, but I don't
remember much about it. I thoughtthe Marble League iteration was bang on great.
I want to see it again.Yeah, same, Honestly, Like

(18:00):
the only thing I remember about theoriginal was like I thought it kind of
meant and the line is one whichfulfilled the line as I remember talking about
this. Yes, yes, man. I love how they get warmed up
in that little like what do youcall a little bridge thing that holds them
all in there, and they're allgetting revved up. It's like it's like

(18:21):
a like a like a motocross racewhere they're all like at the thing and
you know, it drops and theyjust ran they rip out there. It's
so cool. Like even with thatlike kind of like barrier cart and like
some teams they hit the gas liketoo too quick and they start to spin.

(18:41):
Yeah, like the other ones.You get a boost and you're fucking
looking good. Like how the teamsalso just sneak up on each other,
like they're kind of eyeing each otherup once as just a case of hoo
blinks first. And like, honestly, another thing I really liked, like
they I don't think they had thisrule in the original and it didn't come
up, but like at of therule of like if a marble goes off
and then comes back on, thenthey still count like I really like that

(19:04):
because like it doesn't come up often, but it did happen a couple of
times, and it's really cool.Like if you think you've got it and
then you know, if you thinkyou've got it and then someone you knock
one of the opponent marbles back ontothe board, then like that's entirely your
own fault and that marbles live now. And I love how Greg had time
to explain that to, you know, just the average viewer and let them

(19:26):
know the rules. So if itdid happen, you weren't like, what
the fuck, why is it?Why is this marble? Why what's happening?
We knew exactly in the first event, in the first heat. Sorry,
Greg told us the rules and wegot to see it first. Yeah
it was great, yeah ye,and good thing too because it did actually
happen this time exactly. It wasn'tIt wasn't a massive moment like there was

(19:47):
one in one of the later rounds, like it might have been the third
place round where one marble was wentoff and nearly came right back on from
being miles off, but it didn'thappen. But they were a couple where
they were off right by the startinggates and just came back on. Storry
did it? I believe that wasSnowballs did it? I don't remember,
I think so. Yeah, Ithink it was Snowy coming back on,

(20:08):
but not a percent short at all. I watched it like two days ago,
and I did not have time towatch That's fair. I mean,
like it's still pretty fresh in mymind. The thing that I loved about
this video too, is like howI like the Crazy Cat's eyes, but
that has nothing to do with it. How Green Eye went out there and
show boted in the first heat andand got everybody like, oh man,

(20:32):
what the fuck this guy's out therejust show boning. Gonna be honest,
I was really hoping the Crazy Catsize would lose dramatically in the next round
because of that showboating, just becauseit would be so poetic, right and
it was Blue Eye too, thatfucking egregious monster, And yeah, I
was I was ready for them tojust fall off a cliff right after that.
But I mean, you know,they got they got the brons and

(20:53):
beat out t Mobo in the thirdplace. One root for Moo because like
this kind of felt like I thinkeveryone was rooting for Momo except for Sky.
Everybody does Sky hates Sky is theonly person that doesn't like tea.
Yes, we can all agree onthat. This also kind of this this
is event felt violent like as well. It really did like sort it sort

(21:15):
of felt like a cross between funnelsand collision, honestly. Yeah, so
that's why I was room for Mobo. I was like, all right,
let's get a redemption on like thefidget spinner collision. I knew this is
gonna come up. I knew andspinners don't usually mix. Well yeah,
and uh yeah, just see themjust getting like tossed around from like those

(21:37):
little like ramps that they had thatlike go into each other. Yeah.
I was just like, somebody's goingto break, like somebody. I don't
know if the bells here to stopthat, but yeah, they were going
very fast by the end, onceit was thirty there, because I'm pretty
sure it ramps up, it rampsup, and then and then it slows

(21:59):
down. It ramps up, slowsdown and then ramps up again. Yice.
Yeah, I'm watching it right nowagain just because it's such a cool
event. Yeah, it is supercool. Yeah. Bubbed out about the
orangers. Bubbed out about midnight West. I thought they might have had this
midnight wist not even breaking twenty seconds. Fun that was. That was crazy

(22:22):
party, Like it's nineteen ninety dad, Yeah, mind mind you. They
didn't have the worst time of theday. Like, what the hell happened
to Team Plasma in that second run? That was? It was just horrible
awesome. It's so funny watching themall just like, hey, follow leader.
We're all off at once, wereguys. This isn't balancing. Let's
follow. You're not supposed to followthe leader. It's not balancing. But

(22:45):
guys, we got to talk aboutit here. Savage Speeders winning the event
are denying the Thunderbolts their first goldin forever should have been real. Are
they the greatest marble team ever inmarble sports? Why? All by a

(23:06):
side, guys, all bys aside? Is this team the greatest we've ever
seen? All byas aside, Statistically, yes, they're the best. Man.
I'm an no Rangers fan, butthe Savage Speeders this is greatness here,
guys. The things they've done overthe last few years, winning,

(23:30):
winning the Marble League, winning Marbulaone. Everything they're in, they win.
And if they don't win they're stilltop five. Like, you know,
they have some of the greatest Marblesever individually on their team, and
they just always show up. I'mnot a big fan boy of this team,
but like respect gotta respect greatness,man, Like when I like Tiger

(23:56):
Woods. Like I'm not a bigTiger Woods fan his wife a bunch of
times. Right, Yeah, you'regood, honest Canadian, it's right,
But but still I respect greatness.I'm an MJ guy over Lebron. I
still think Lebron is the greatest ofall time. You know, I just

(24:18):
wanted, I just wanted to bringit up. I honestly think this team
is amazing and and everything they've donein the last three years, you gotta
you gotta say they're the best Marbleteam out there. Somebody's got to go
dethrown them. Yeah, I wishthe stats lied, but sadly they don't.
I fucking hate him over there,bullshit. Most of the fan base

(24:44):
hate the speed. We thought theywere done. Remember a year ago,
we talked about it. They weregetting old old man speedy, all that
stuff. No, No, theyare not done. They're not. They
just they just want to prove everyonewrong at this point. Yeah, yeah,
so it's gonna be a tough hillclimb. I think in the what
do we have left last two events? Yeah, twenty points, it's far

(25:06):
from They're fall from invincible, andI'm like, oh, the Speeders have
never Also, the Speeders have neverwon where they've been leading into the end
of the season. Like, looklike twenty sixteen they came from behind,
twenty twenty they came from behind.Yeah, I remember theybe no Rangers.
Yeah, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, they were lead, they were leading
going into the end of the season, and they got beaten both times.

(25:30):
Okay, well we can hope.I just think I think at twenty point
us hope, guys, they canstill lose. There's hope. I mean,
there's it's a twenty point gap.I mean, if it was the
Raspberry Racers up there and it wasa twenty point gap, I would say
it's anybody's game still. But youknow, you got the best Marvel team
in the world. Currently, it'sgonna be hard. The Rojo Rollers,

(25:51):
the bumble Bees, they got tomaybe work together. They got to get
together say hey, there's got tobe a way we got to close this
gap in you know, event fifteen. Yeah, there her roles in the
Bumblebees are not the teams you'd expectto be challenging the Savage Speeders when they're
running for their third title. Yeah. Yeah, what a what a crazy
league so far? A few hiccupshere and there, but all No,
I've enjoyed it. I've enjoyed watchingall of it. I think sticking the

(26:15):
schedule for the most part, nota lot of complaints. Yeah, Rangers,
this is your chance. We aredown thirty four points with two events
to go. It's doable. It'sdoable, especially thirty eight thirty eight,
so that would be more. Thatwould be more than twenty. We need
to do Kenny Rango, Manny,what's the what's the final event? The

(26:40):
final two events are Sound Rally andthen the Honey Dome GP. Honey Doome
GP. Oh, pretty good,reigning Marbule one champions. I like to
see a GP at the end,Rangers. Maybe I thought the reigning champions
with the savag Speeders. What amI just missrom bring that compaign Mabula one
the Rangers, You're reigning champions?No? That was season three? Oh

(27:04):
ship was it? Yeah? Thisis why everybody hates your fucking team.
Dude, it's not my team,man, they are your team. You're
fucking turned as red as them.It's not my team, it is your
team. You pick them first,and fantasy every fucking year to my team

(27:27):
is easy. In Marbula one alwaysthey didn't win. Wow, that just
goes That says a lot about myargument since we've mentioned it, though,
I do want to point out butpeople are probably wondering about how the qualifying
for the honey Dome is going towork, and should probably cover it because

(27:48):
there is a system for that.The results of the sand Rally are going
to be the qualifying round for thegrid for the honey Don GP. So
winner of the sound Rally starts atP one for the final and so on.
That's how they've decided to do it. Okay, I'm not sure I
like it, but it's as goodas system as any Frankler. It makes

(28:08):
sense. So wait, what wasit? Reverse? No standing the grid
is standing's order for the sand Rallymakes sense? I guess. I mean
personally, my favorite option would belike reverse standings order for a qualifier and
then like you do a five lapqualifier based on reverse standings order. Then

(28:30):
from that, you do the actualright, why reverse standings order? Because
it then it gives the teams atthe back a chance to catch up.
It would only make sense. Itwould only make sense if this was a
racing event, like a racing series, but it's not. This is the
Marble League, so it wouldn't makesense to do reverse here. You're you're
awarding the ship teams. I mean, you're only giving You're only giving a

(28:52):
better chance to qualify if they're stillship at the last event and they'll lose
out in qualifying and then the otherteams get a start. No, I
think the teams that have done wellshould always deserve that. There's not really
a perfect answer, just like that'swhat they're doing this year. It's the
Sound Rally is also qualified for thehoney Dome. True, we got anything
else on the last three events,not really, Just like Wave was boring,

(29:15):
the other two were great. Yep, all right, So good to
the most electrifiicing segment in Marble Sportspodcasting history. And that is overreactions.
We put some hashtags out there,you guys responded, I can't find the
last two events hashtags, so I'mjust gonna cover one tonight. Honestly,
turn guess we just kind of overreacted. It's okay, I'm used to it.

(29:40):
It's called caring too much and it'sin terrible Just calm down, rage,
no this place to the ground.If you picked that one. We
got one actually, no cover three, all right, we got one from
the solar Flares, which they've changedtheir name on Twitter to big Brother is
Watching. They're not they're not sowhat who cares anymore? And they actually

(30:04):
started caring. Uh no, butthey were like solar Fase or something at
some point too. But Big brotheris Watching is their new stick. I
guess they said hashtag. I knowit's only a fourteen twenty three, but
yeah, there we go. Yeah, a streaker. That's all we care

(30:25):
about. Let's go, baby streakerlike this, let's go. Oh yeah,
I forgot to mention that we finallygot another streaker. Yeah, I
forgot so good. Uh yeah,he got fucking destroyed by security. Yeah,
they were on him, fuss hecould not handle this gs in the
g force. And it looks likethere's two, but I think they were

(30:51):
actually yeah, yeah, like Idon't know if that was like security chas
again, but there were two differentmarbles and then security. It was like
enough security to get them both.I think you might Even's story because he's
like, yeah, I get stuckon the edge and like I'll get him,
like I'll pull them off. Andthen our next two are from Lily

(31:15):
Rubian r U b I E edRubine sounds like you're pronouncing that right,
Rubian's probably all right, Well,they're from Lily. So I posted the
force is in the books, andyou know it's a wild blub blah blah
blah on Twitter, and she repliedto it, the Speeders will win it

(31:37):
all with one event despair but nah. She also said hashtag I know totally
at fourteen l twenty twenty three,but the Speeders are gonna choke it all.
And I love this because she's sidesso she'll always come out on top
of the reverse js. I loveit. I have no clue if she's

(31:57):
tried the reverse jiggs. But regardlessof if they win or if they don't,
wait, Lily was right wink nudge, nude. I mean there is
a scenario where she's not right,and that's if they don't clinch it after
even fifteen but still win it.I don't want any of that that's happened,
but you know she's not completely covered. Yeah, I completely agree,

(32:17):
and uh with that, that's beenof reactions. If I find more maybe
and posts or like at the end, just read some funny ones, because
there was funny ones. I justcan't find it with all the drama.
If your reaction did not get readtoday, blame hern yep, blame me
or hey, maybe it wasn't goodenough, so do better. But with

(32:40):
that, let's go to break anduh, we will come back with the
mail bags. We will come backwith predictions update, make our predictions update
and yeah, I'm gonna do fansy. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
So we'll be back, all right, And we are back, and

(33:06):
uh, stay tuned to the endof the episode. Uh, we don't
have an episode of a load withNanagon, but we definitely have singing with
Hector and I nobody has heard thisyet. I'm gonna hear it once I
start editing this thing. But hyees, stay tuned for that. It's
gonna be at the end, regardlessof if it's good or bad. Yeah,

(33:30):
make yourself a long a load base, well load base. I guess
trying out like shiny Uh for hissolo tour. But we got a bail
back and I'm gonna send it over. Well, shut up, Decker,
this is your job. I wantto know. I'm gonna send it over
to the number one Canadian of alltime mostly Canadian lighted those years. That

(33:53):
of the year. Good bookie,great gombar guy. You can't read read
the mailbags? What's up? Deck? What we got? It's time.
We got a couple of repeat mailbaggers. It's time to open the let
it roll mail bag. Look atthis, Jesus Christ. That right there
is the mail. Now, let'stalk about the mail. Can we talk
about the mail? Please? Macom, we dine and talk about the mail

(34:15):
for you all day. Okay,I don't know, man, Let me
open it up. Let me openit. Here's the mail and never feel
me. Oh oh, I thinkI know from the first sentence who this
is from? Is this my bestfriend ranger? Well that explains why Tom

(34:37):
didn't give me my joke back?Why that would make sense? All right?
My best friend sends in the lonelymail bag, the only one,
thank god, because I can't read. But he says, two events left
and the least shocking news ever,Team Hector's curse has been eliminated and are

(34:58):
twenty points back from the Rangers.Should we just call this a win for
me and be done with it?Maybe maybe bad news for Hector that I've
been in contact with your legal representativeagain and I think we should add hashtag
free Saurus dinosaurus tattoos to our ORangers tattoo you have to get. Are
you actually getting a tattoo? Hector? No, because I'm going to win

(35:22):
the beds. But no, you'renot going You'll say to that is remember
twenty twenty, it can happen again. Yeah, it's gonna happen for the
Arrangers against the Savage Speeders where theywill fall off. We plus he doesn't
have a much lower points gat tothe Arrangers than the Arrangers have to the

(35:42):
Savage speed Is then yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. So he goes
on to say, I'll let youchoose how to do that, but I
but I won't really what. I'lllet you choose how to do that,
but I won't really. So he'sgonna let you choose, but not really.
But he's not gonna let me choo. You gottaut I have to let

(36:02):
him choose. Man Like Hector,this is up to you. Goddamn mail
back. Hector can't choose. Allright, let's get back into it,
termin I agreed that the old Rangerslogo will cover your freshly shaved head,
and you will have a hashtag freeSourus Dinosaurus tattoo on each shaved eyebrow.

(36:29):
That would suck. I think it'llbe a good look as you conduct your
next concert. Heyone's coming up thisweekend, buddy, cheers. Mate,
Thanks for you've been folding my signaturebecause I fired you as my legal rep.
I keep getting emails and I don'treally read them at this point,

(36:50):
but they are very secure files thatI have to send to other people,
So send them to me. Ihave your email. But also, yeah,
so it's gonna be like one eyebrowsays freeosaurus, the other eyebrow says
dinosaurus, and then where the youbrow would connect, you get a nice
t rex logo right there, ormaybe even the Saros diosaurs logo there once

(37:15):
your head shaved, nice big Rangerslogo right on the back of that fucking
head. It's gonna be great.I mean, one I'm not gonna lose
the bets, so none of it'sgoing to apply. Okay, well,
maybe I should start picking out whatI want blet Rangers Jim to have as
a tattoos. And two, you'renot getting away with this. I'm gonna
hire Pippin as my new legal counseland sue you for all of this.

(37:37):
She's not even old enough to belike anywhere close to a lawyer. Yep,
it doesn't matter. You're going topick somebody over. I'm invoking loopholes
to get a legal student to dothe job. She's not even a legal
student. She's cous she is nowshe's a community college Okay, well,
good luck with that, and thankyou Decker for trying to read the mailbags

(38:02):
once again. Hey, I alwaystry my best. You did, You
did your best, and that's sowe can really ask did all right?
It's fine, all right? Souh yeah, now sip for fantasy and
I'm gonna fucking do it. Playthe goddamn drap. So in fifth place

(38:27):
out of the podcast standings, Waitsix fifth sith. Fifth place is Hector
with Team Plasmas, Shining Swore,Midnight West and Raspberry Racers. Oh that's
your team. Yeah, that's gottabe one of the worst. Yeah,
well, there's only two teams thatare worse than him, and I'll tell

(38:49):
them no stops five hundred and ninetyone point five points. The only teams
that are worse than him is theReactor Gamer with Gliding Glaciers, Team Black
and Shikeswo Rows five eighty five pointfive and uh Exo set with Clyde Glacier,
Steve Blasma, Shouting Swarm and DeepBlack. They get five forty seven.

(39:10):
So they basically all have the sameteam and they all fucking sticked.
But oh god, I missed thedays of Sam Marvel Rally Fantasy where I
was a god among men. Yeah. I pulled up that like before pulling
up this lake, and I waslike, how's hector in second? No
period? Third to last? WasI was in second one? How many

(39:30):
people are in the league one hundredand five? Yeah? I am not
doing well. Yeah, I gambledtoo much on Team Plasma, the Shining
Swarm in the Midnight Wisps. He'sa bad gambler. I am a bad
gambler. So for the podcast,let's go to fifth place. That's Sky.

(39:51):
He's got Team Gliding Glaciers, MellowYow. He has six hundred and
twenty one points, so basically thirtymore than you if it was anyone else
like cool that a bad team.Yeah, and he doesn't have fourth so
he's fine. But in fourth placeis Pivot with the Snowballs, Raspberry Racers,
t Bobo and Team Plasma. Shehas six fifty eight. Not bad.

(40:15):
It's not bad, not bad,nobody wants no, it's not great.
Yeah. Also Sky is in ninetyfifth overall, Pivot seventy eighth overall.
That wow, child, Now wegot a big gap. That gap
starts with me in third place withthe Rangers, Raspberry Racers, Mellow Yellow,
and Tea Bobo. I got sixhundred and eighty four points. I

(40:39):
am in fifty first place overall andfine with that because the Rangers are going
with a bad Orangers are with thewhole thing. Momo gets on the podium
a couple couple of times here,Yeah, you do, all right,
I mean I just I still justwish the Livers were here. But that's
besides the point, because in secondplace we got the great six not again,

(41:02):
and with his basic gass bitch team, he's got crazy Cats, Eyes,
Team Plasma, Savage Speeders, RaspberryRazors. He's got six hundred and
ninety seven points, so he's onlyup on me by thirteen. Uh,
pretty good. He's forty fifth overall. Wow, everybody went with Team Plasma
except for me and you a turn. Yeah, I had no faith in

(41:22):
him, me either. Yeah,everyone had high hopes and clearly they were
misplaced. No, they would winthe showdown for sure. I mean,
they bring Doug to this, sothey probably have a bit of a brun
for the money either. That werethe Thunderbolts would win showdown if they were
in a showdown. Yeah, andthen Y two K becomes real and you're
happy about it, and yeah,then we're all good. But in first

(41:47):
place, it is the number oneCanadian of all time, that of the
year. Good bookie, great cobbler. This is proving it. He's a
twenty third place overall. Wow.Oh, Rangers, Rojo Rollers and Savage
Speeders roh seven hundred and twenty sixpoints. God damn. So you were

(42:08):
up about about thirty from Noagon nodsabout thirty up from me. No.
Last last time we checked this,Nanagon was up seventy eight or eighty two
I can't remember what it was.It was right in that range. He
was up about eighty two points aroundnow now it's a whole rollers. Yeah,

(42:29):
I was here. We did doit last week, Scott Dann,
you were in first place. Una God was in first place four Predictions
and Fantasy last time you were onthe pod, so two weeks ago.
Yeah, killer, But you're twentythird overall, and like I said,
total points seven hundred and twenty six, but we got top five for the

(42:55):
fans. And number five kick itoff with Chloe, who has the Raspberry
Racers, Savage Speeders, t Boboand the Old Rangers seven hundred and fifty
five points, so only up thirtyfrom you Decker. That is one of
my IURL friends who I suggested takepart, and she is completely wrecking me

(43:15):
in this as you normally happens.Hell, yeah, Chloe, keep it
up. Let's go. Hey,we'll replace Hector with you if you absolutely
if you win this thing, that'syour price. And number four we got
Emperor Postos. I still say thathe's got a Ragers, Raspberry Racers,
Savage Speeders, and the Bubble Beesseven hundred and fifty six points, so

(43:39):
one point higher than Chloe, shehad seven fifty five. Number three,
we got Paul Ordina, he's gotthe Savage Speeders, Team Mobo, Crazy
Cat's Eyes. Wait what this hasto be a TYPEO because he has Ta
Bobo here twice. Sky figure itout. Second place, we have Shadow

(44:01):
Hacks. He's hacking, he's blocked, he's reported, he's got a copyright
strike. He's got the Old Rangers, Savage Speeders, Crazy Cat's Eyes,
and row Ho Rollers seven hundred andfifty nine points. Glad to see another
row Ho Roller believer. And infirst place we have Jay from Germany.

(44:23):
He has Savage Speeders, Raspberry Racers, t Bobo and the O Rangers seven
hundred and seventy two points. Jesusso he's up by thirteen on second place.
A lot of people believed in theSavage Speeders in the fan fantasy.
Yeah, I believe. Why theyhave to be right, you believes,

(44:45):
Sky best off with Paul Cordneta.This is my first time looking at this
thing, Big Bobo twice. Honestly, can't do that because the rules allowed.
Yeah followed, God, they haverules. But congratulations a Jay from
Germany, h Shadow Acts. Yougot a little bit of work to do
if you want to win that merch. But we got two events to go,
babysit events. Lots of time,lots of times. Guy. Also,

(45:07):
you have a lot of work todo with Paul Cordia. Figure out
what the fuck he actually picked.Yeah, where his team just gets vetoed.
I mean, that's that's on thethat's on the manager, one of
the rules. But uh yeah,I'll let the commissioner decided that that's been
fantasy. So I said there weretwo the Postman, the duck boys short

(45:28):
there, the conductor, the guywho's about to shave his head, his
eyebrows, get a bunch of tattoos, all speak too soon, yep,
yep, yep, kind of lookbadass. Yeah, he's gonna look fucking
dope man like bam bam bigelow.Yeah. Yeah, and that's actor with
predictions. Well yeah actor what ohyeah, it's predictions with the Postman.

(45:57):
Alright, it's been a lot sinceI updated predictions, So sorry about the
weight, don't click. I won'tsorry about the weights, and let's kick
things off with the podcast. Standingsin sixth place, understandable since he's missed
four events but didn't stop pipping seventyone points no wins. It's Decca,
yep, I missed a bunch ofpredictions. Yeah, you've missed four events

(46:23):
for predictions, same as Pippin.But Pip you've not done well. Yeah,
you've missed four. Yeah, Imean Decker was like you like the
ball being to get pick you know, I know, I know, I
do love them all. I'll dobetter when we get to Marbula one.
Yeah, Decca is in sixth placefor the podcast and thirty first place for

(46:45):
the fans, in fifth place.You know him, you love him.
It's Sky one hundred and two points, no wins. Wow. Yeah,
who's that in Sky? Sky guysin fifth at both. Yeah, Sky's
in fifth in both shut out.It's my best friend. Oh yeah,

(47:06):
right back where he belongs in fourthplace, also for both one hundred and
eighteen points one win and also likeDeca has missed four events, it's Pippin.
Wow. Seems like a US problemif we're all missing for events,
Yeah, I mean not again's theonly one of us that's predicted every event.

(47:27):
The rest of us have got atleast one missed because all of us
not missed elimination race. Well,done as ah, No, I think
I predicted it. I'll let youknow after the episode, but let me
know. It might change the standings, as we'll see in a minute,
in third place with one hundred andtwenty four points, one correct win,

(47:47):
all the way like at the startof the season. It's me actually doing
well in this two ways. Thankguy. Well, we're just continuing the
tradition of you're good at one orthe other, which I I mean,
that's wonderful time of the year whenthat's happening. It happens pretty much every
uh yeah, every single season isthe most wonderful time of the year.

(48:08):
Because yep, I'm doing really wellin one and really terribly in the other,
but ahead of me but still withinstriking distance with one hundred and thirty
five points and one win. Thismight be changed after Term gets back to
me, but Term is in secondplace with one hundred and thirty five.
Oh yeah, I got my MarbleMaster Championship title belt right here. That's

(48:32):
why I got up and grabbed whileyou're talking about Sky my best friend,
and I'm gonna hold onto this thingbecause I'm pretty sure I predicted the liberd
Asia race. Well, it dependingon what you predicted. It might not
get you in first, but itmight well considering that in first place with
one hundred and thirty five points aswell, but winning the tiebreaker with two

(48:53):
wins, it's nonigan. I comeget it, man, I'm gonna find
my fucking prediction because I know itsomewhere. Yeah, been an episode,
it might have been on just ourdiscord, but I'll say, yeah,
if you send the evidence, Iwill update this and we'll get back to
you next week. But just arundown where we all are in the fan

(49:15):
standings. Decca, as mentioned before, you're in thirty first place and cannot
make the top five. The Skyis in twenty second and can't win,
but can make the top five ifhe gets very lucky, and the rest
of us, the rest of thefour of us can all still win.
Pippin needs a perfect two weeks andthen the first place to get no points,

(49:37):
but she can still do it.She's in twentieth, I'm in seventeenth,
Term is in ninth, and nota one is in eighth. Nice.
Nice, Yeah, it's pretty closeactually, But on to the top
five in fifth place with one hundredand forty five points. One win,

(49:57):
it's Donovan Drayton. Let's go,very regular face and predictions. He's good,
he knows that he's definitely up thereevery year. Yeah. In fourth
place with one hundred and forty sevenpoints and shockingly no correct wins. It's
Poyo Loco good, ready for SanMarvel Rally, but let's go oh yeah

(50:25):
yeah, in third place with alsoone hundred and forty seven points but two
correct wins. We have the onlymember of the top five to be missing
an event. That's craziest cats eyWow, missed two events and still missed
one event. Okay, yeah,he missed g Force, but is still
in the top five top three evenyep, but ahead of that in second

(50:52):
place with one hundred and fifty threepoints, so six ahead one win.
It's Mia one two, three,four, four, five, yes,
hell yeah, regular predictor. Hehas even been dming like what we did
have the one episode covering guy.I think it was against ten and eleven.
Yeah, he has been dming youwith predictions. She's the best.

(51:14):
Wow. Yeah, well not quitethe best, because one person is doing
better with one hundred and sixty eightpoints two wins. It's another regular predictor
in the top five, it's twomault two mold. Let's go. Finally
something good for the BOC. Comeon, let's go. I think he's

(51:35):
probably just too worried about winning thiswhole thing that showing up at the should
Yeah we'll see though, I guess, yeah, we'll see. Yeah.
One quick fact I want to mentionbefore we just wrap this up is that,
shockingly, in the entire field,no one's correctly predicted more than two

(51:57):
wins. Wild nobody's managed that inthe entire series, because there's ridiculous.
There's some ship where we get likefour or five wins. It has to
be fair though, to all thepredictors out there. It has definitely been
a very unpredictable Marble League this year. It really has. Who would have

(52:19):
seen the Rojo Rollers where they areright now? I mean sure, if
you're picking Savage Speeders all the time, yeah you probably have what three No
Savage Speeders just got their first metalso yeah, I mean it's all over
the place. This Marble League two. Good for you? Like you guys
are you guys up at the topare definitely putting in the work and the
dedication prediction, So keep it going, guys. Yeah, all right,

(52:44):
but that is it for the rundownof scores. So onto predictions for right
now, just the sand Rally,because we've actually got time to do it
like this, which makes my lifea lot easier for the final. So
a lot of people have sent intheir predictions already for the same rally.
You have a chance to change them. But for the three of us,

(53:04):
now, let's just get on withit. So starting at the bottom,
Decca, who do you want topick to win the sand Rally? I
believe I've already said my pick forthe sand Rally? Have given one already?
Do you want to keep it going? Yes? Of course? Give
me the old Rangers saw that cominga mile away. Yeah, all right,
very nice. I'll go next.I am going to pull the same

(53:24):
thing as Decker and stick with myprevious prediction. I'm taking the Snowballs.
I believe snow He's got it.I hope so, dude, I really
hope so too. Like we saw, Yeah, and well at least term
are you gonna do the same asus and stick with your pick? Now?

(53:45):
Oh? Give you the savage Speeders. Wait, he's he's back.
The only way we can fuck it. Wait, let's go baby, I
do have to ask, though,do you have a team to pick for

(54:06):
second place? Deep galactic shouts.Okay, all right, well let's see
if the term gambit pays off thistime. But yeah, just for reference
already to those who aren't in ourgroup, chat not Age has picked the
Gliding Glaciers to win, and thenfifteen Pippin has picked the Midnight Whisps to

(54:27):
win. A fifteen Sky has notyet picked anything. Come on, he
probably is. You want to getconfirmed he's still living in that twenty seventeen
like, hey, story Ward Boy, the Orangers would at all. But
that is it for predictions. Soget your predictions in with term Do we

(54:47):
have a hashtag? Oh, Idon't have a hashtag yet, God damn
it. Insert the hashtag in posthashtag Doper's dune Light, hashtag Dorn's gat
Light. Use hashtag Billy the Showto make your predictions. Yeah, rally

(55:15):
that is spelled hashtag b I LL Y T h E s h o
W. It's got a new songcoming out, that's the title of it.
And yeah, so use hashtag Billythe Show to make your predictions for
said rally if you want to changeit. If you don't want to change
it, then you want to doship Freezaur Dinosaurs still applies for that.

(55:38):
We just thought the event was comingout before that. So yeah, Like,
if you want to stick with theprediction you've already put in. I've
got them all written down, soyou don't need to do anything. But
if you want to change your pick, that's the hashtag to use. Billy
the Show that spelled hashtag b IL L Y t h E s h
O W. I heard Bond Pondon the song Oh no Way that's fire.

(56:04):
Yeah Berry got bon Bond. Yeah. Well, I mean they've been
doing nothing all Marble week, youknow, they've just been sitting there.
Yeah, somehow I gotta listen tothis. Ah, but thank you Hector
and get use hashtag Billy's Show tomake your predictions. If you want to
change your predictions, you know,I have to change your prediction. And

(56:24):
if you're just gonna make the samething twice, don't do that make Hector's
life easy. Yeah, come on, even you blood Arranges Jim. I
know you exist to make my lifehell, but please don't. Ah,
but thanks everybody listening. This isgonna be exciting. Last two events because
the savage theaters are going to tagand I can't wait for it or they

I was worried you weren't going tothrow that. Wow. You had me,
You had me fucking worried. Ididn't think you were going to throw
in the wing wink nudge nudge.Well, you know, the first win,
kids see then the nudge nudge countsout the wink wink. Nobody knows.
