Then fifteen of Marble League twenty twentythree is in the books, and we
have one man. He is tentwo. Thank for keeping fun on the
menu. Thank you Tandor and somuch. We're here to talk about Sam
Marble Rally. We're here to doa fantasy kind of prediction. Read your
mail bag, all the other bullshit, sit back, strap it down,
and let it roll. Whoa,whoa, Hey everybody, welcome to the

(00:39):
number one podcast in Marble sports.Let it roll. I'm your stnight.
I am joined by It's the numberone Canadian of all time, that of
the year, Wilson, Canadian lightenthusiasts, a good bookie, a great
combler, Bog's best friend. That'sDecker. It's up, Deck Mad.

(01:03):
I'm pissed. I'm pissed the fuckoff man? Wait wait, Quizzy fan,
How does jam R go and fuckit up in one of their greatest
events. We'll get into it,man, But I'm not a happy marble
fan right now. Huh. Youknow, not many people are. But
we are also joined by the GreatSpix and Basic ass Bitch Record to get

(01:25):
a sound studio. Wow, whata professional operation. That's not a god?
Hey dog, what's up? Yeah, because I was at work,
and then Decker was like, I'mgoing to be super mad this episode,
so I absolutely have to be on. So I am at the sound booth
of a concert hall recording and usingabsolutely none of the equipment in it.
I'm using my own mic and computerstill, So if I sound echoey,

(01:49):
that's why, And tune in nexttime to see where I record from next.
No, the acoustics sounds great,and uh, you know it might
not be alone with not a God, but it's somewhere with Donog and I
appreciate that. True, We're onlocation in somewhere completely unrelated to Marbles.
Just do it remotes, but nobodyelse is there? That little chuckle right

(02:14):
there, that's the most handsome manI know. That's the postman, the
duckboy e Shore there fucking ductor anda member of the autorial board of Project
Barbler. That's Hector. What's up, Hector? Oh? Just living my
best life, recording my dressing gowns, something on whiskey, Just enjoying myself

(02:37):
because I'm fully aware that a Deccarant is in coming and I want to
be ready that what the fuck isa dressing gown? You meat? A
robe that looks like a robe.Yeah. Yeah, it's the proper word
for what you would call incorrectly abathrobe because they don't actually wear it in
or after the bath. You dowear it after the bath, not the

(02:59):
See is it like a smoking jacket, just look it up. Those are
more like silk smoking jackets. Yeah, they're fantastic. Thing looks like a
towel, it does. That's all. This is why I'm confused. All
right, whatever, let's get intoit. We had said Rally and hey,

(03:21):
I just gotta shout out to myboy to Andred. You know,
not a great pick from Rango ifthe THEO Rangers were still technically in contention.
Rango saw the writing on the wall, though, and he said,
what are we gonna do. We'regonna put in the guy who beats up
everybody, and you know what he'sgonna do. He's got to beat up
the Savage Speeders. Make sure theykeep fun on the menu. Don't clinch

(03:45):
with sand Rally. I'm fucking hypedabout it. Hell yeah, dude,
But like I feel like some managershere just made a bad decision. Rango
included, sure he wanted to holdback the Savage Speeders and did his job
doing that. But there was nine. There was nine coaches out there that
made the right decision putting their captainsin their leaders to go out and produce

(04:08):
in the sand Rally. Speeders didn'tdo it. Look at their results.
Arrangers didn't do it. Look attheir results. I mean, you kind
of nice to each other both rounds. You kind of need that solid presence,
the one who brings it every time. You need the captain for the
penultimate event here. I just thinkit was a bad decision by a few

(04:30):
coaches. Honestly, I think withthe arrangers like Clem would have been the
move because twenty seventeen Clem quinch thetitle with the sand Rally. I would
have been happy with Kenny out therethough, you know, anybody but Tandrid.
But then once I saw what Tandradid on the track. He you
know, usually I call these guysegregious sponsors like blue Eye, but you

(04:51):
know, Tandra did his job.He made sure the fun stayed on the
beduar. And I'm fucking hyped aboutit because we're going into the final.
You know, Speeders haven't glinched yet. Yeah, I don't know if they
ever will. Yeah. I mean, there's five teams that can still win
it, but I like to it'sjust amusing that it's egregious monsters when someone
else does it, but when it'syour team that does it, it's absolutely

(05:13):
fine and very good play. Listen, blue Eye was an egregious monster because
the Rojo Rollers can't defend themselves.We all do this. There's fun still
on the menu for that, right, So it's not bullying if it's against
the Savage Speeders, if it's againstthe team that just won Marbula one has
already won like two Marbula one titlesplus what also two Marble Leagues, Like,

(05:38):
I mean, this is I'm notjudging. I'm just amused. I
fully agree what's Taedre did everything forthe greater good out there, and I'm
fucking hyped about it. Yeah,thank you for your work, Tangerin.
Yeah, congratulations of fifteenth or whateverthe fuck you guy? Hey, hey,
it closed the gap for the bumblebeesthere it's now what fourteen points?
It was job well done? Butguys, can we talk about it?

(06:00):
Like I'm still fuming. I justwatched this. I just watched this event
for the first time forty five minutesago, and I don't think I've ever
been this angry with the decision onhow to score the points in an event.
This was the most ridiculous style ofracing scoring I have ever seen in

(06:25):
any sport. In what world doyou have two heats and there's no such
thing as points. It's just basedon one time in a race. So
you can DNF aka the Pinkies,what they did in the first heat.
DNF had a great time in thesecond race and got on the podium,

(06:45):
came second, where the Snowballs camefirst in the first heat and fourth in
the second heat, and they comethird place. Guys, this is the
most ludicrous scoring system I have everseen in racing. Jam r please please,
I hope I'm not the only onewho's very upset about this. This
needs to change. If this happensagain and Greg tells me this is the

(07:06):
way we're doing it in San Rallynext year, I'm turning the video off.
You're not getting my view. Ihave never been so mad watching Marble
sports. Yeah, I'm not quiteangry to the same degree, but I
agree absolutely with every point you've made. It's like there are a lot of
ways to do scoring if you're doingtwo races, Like, personally, I'd

(07:28):
rather just have one race and thatbe the be all end all, Like
that's yeah, that's the way itshould be. But if you're doing two
races, there's so many better waysto do it. Like the obvious one
is points, Like do a pointsystem so that teams that do well in
both are rewarded and teams that dowell in one get sort of middle of
the pack where they deserve to bebecause they fucked up one race. Don't
just do one race of the twodetermines everything. Like, even if you're

(07:51):
doing it off times, there's abetter way to do it. Just the
lowest cumulative time from both races,exact, because like that still rewards all
of the score, all of thescoring, Like you have to do something
for DNFs, but like you canstill do that, and like they get
a massive time penalty. Yeah,why are erasing twice? Why are we
racing twice? Right? Yeah,Like I can understand racing twice in terms

(08:11):
of they have to make the videolonger to try and improve their metrics or
whatever. Like I can understand thereading behind that. I don't think it's
the best move for the event.But from a YouTube perspective, I can
see that. But this is justthe worst way they could have scored it,
given that they were doing it withtwo races. Like, just keep
it as a point system. Pointsystems work, they're tried, tested and
true racing. Does that point systemhonestly, Like, yeah, I don't

(08:39):
understand the fact that they had tworaces. If anything, put eight on
each, you know, of thefirst two races, have a third race
with like the top eight. Withthat, do what they did in twenty
seventeen. Yeah, get rid ofthe DNS, like get rid of like
the lowest period. Obviously they didn'tmake changes to the track because there was

(09:00):
that very slow bend where Pasa gotstuck, Lizzy got stuck, I don't
know, everybody got stuck during thefirst race. They didn't improve it at
all. And it's just like noneof this really made sense to me.
But I do have to shout outto buy Boytander, And I mean,
what a dog, you know,taking one for the team, taking one

(09:20):
for the team of all of theMarble League teams. Yeah, he should
be celebrated today. And uh,you know, I'm not going to back
down for that, but Snowy.Yeah, we need to free him one
back in Marble. Absolutely, itis a second place in that absolutely down.
And you know what, I don'tknow if this is some fucking Underwood

(09:41):
Francis bullshit Pulleygue paid lace in here, but go listen to the MSW podcast.
They did a breakdown on that guy. He's an egregious sponsor, just
like blue Eye what you got ONIGN. Okay, we don't need to slander
blue Eye that much, but Ithink Underwood John, why whatever the fuck

(10:01):
is David way worse? I agree? I think the reason how bonkers the
way the event results were tabulated wasjust swept under the rug because as soon
as the event ended, Subreddit everywhereelse got swarmed with Wow, fun isn't
canceled because Wizzy was bad lull xD. That's probably why I feel like

(10:24):
if it was like a normal event, or if it was like if it
was like instead of the Pinky's doingthis, it was Whizzy dnfing in the
first race and then getting second inthe second race and getting a silver medal,
everyone would be exactly exactly exactly noteveryone but losing it. Also,
Now, on top of that,fun wasn't canceled because Whizzy did bad.

(10:46):
Fun wasn't canceled because Tangerine went outof his way to destroy Wizzy absolutely took
him to the car wash, leftthem in the fucking gutters where the fucking
all your dirt and bullshit goes offinto the bottom of the fucking thing gets
all drained. Now, yeah,this is all Dandreid's doing, and I'm

(11:09):
very happy with him, and alsofuck you Wizzy. Love it. I
don't remember where I saw this.I think it might have just been some
random Reddit comment. I heard thatpossibly they did two races because weather was
bad and they didn't want anyone screwedover in one race that has a bunch
of DNFs. But like what itwas, it was five DNFs for one

(11:33):
that's not even that bad. Andsend marble rally does that all the time,
all the time. Agone, Pleasetell me what you just said.
There is all hypothetical, Like II really hope pretty this was not from
a This was not from a JMAmember, I know that much. I'm
pretty sure this was just a whatif statement, which is okay, Like,

(11:56):
if that's what they did, that'svery dumb. That's more than dumb.
That's egregious. We want to talkabout Blue Eye. That's egregious.
You're out there manipulating results in eventfifteen, like whether you don't want to
see I don't want to hear anyof that ever again. And if that
comes up, I am honestly donewith Marbles. If they're manipulating stuff this

(12:18):
late in the season. And ifit's what Hector said, if it's just
like a view thing and one raceis too short, then just do the
eight heat eight per heat thing.Yeah, longer. It's also easier to
see. You might have to makethe core shorter. Yeah, well,
I'm glad you brought that up.Not a gone it would have been much
easier to see. For a longtime there in the first heat, we

(12:39):
didn't even see the battle between theSnowballs and the Crazy Cat's Eye. We
didn't see any of it. Wejust watched the midpack battle and then they're
like and then you realize, oh, there is actually red Eye and who
was it Snowy I believe for thestory snow Yeah, And Snowy was up
there, and I'm like, ohmy god, these guys are actually at

(13:00):
the front, not the pinkies andwhoever else they were showing way back there.
Yeah, so I think like,like one thing that would definitely benefit
this race is if they had basicallylike the marbio wide like board of how
marbles were moving. I felt likeit was kind of like done, you
know, kind of just throw togetherlike haphazardly, and the story league Yeah,

(13:26):
just watching like I don't know thefour marbles that were in like fifth
through ninth for an extended amount oftime, watching Wizzy and Tandrid, but
not even see when Whizzy fucking wentoff the course of the first like heat.

(13:46):
You know, I really would thatsatisfaction of Tan fucking you know,
killing that guy, and I didn'tsee it, and you know that's why
he didn't get called for it too. But thank you Tandre, and I
appreciate you. But we need afucking scoreboard though, of like what's happening
in the cabra angles. Fuck hey, gabra time, Fuck this Camerangleah.
Funny it brought up camera time becauseit does feel almost homely to be back

(14:09):
at yelling at JMR for screwing upSam Marble Alley Races. Caver Time started,
yep, exactly, and it's backbecause they have forgotten everything we tried
to teach them in camera, Sime. But also Sam Marblerelly has a scoreboard
like you mentioned, the Sam Marblerelliseason has a scoreboard. Why do they

(14:33):
not just use a damn scoreboard likethey've been doing it since twenty sixteen.
This is simple stuff for you,JMR. You know how you're doing this,
So why are you getting it wrong? Because it takes a shit ton
of time to put up a scoreboard, and when you're trying to cram a
marble league together in thirty days,well, I guess now it's longer than
thirty days. Slight tangents a week? One event a week is so slow,

(14:58):
White? Why did they? Yeah, events a week is too fast,
that's too one. Yeah, Iknow. And you know what.
The scoreboard isn't just about knowing thepositions of the racer. The scoreboard does
so much more than that. Youknow how how far you are into the
circuit, how much time is leftfor your marvel that you're watching to try

(15:20):
and gain that extra position before thefinish line. I had no idea when
this race was gonna end. None, Like jam Art, you have to
have the scoreboard in sand Rally comeon, yeah, is this stuff you've
been doing perfectly for years? Whyare you fucking it up now? Yeah?
I mean, like I completely agree. It doesn't make any sense and

(15:41):
like aesthetically doesn't make any sense visually, like we don't know where the fuck
anybody is at because you know,it's a fast race and Greg Woods is
trying to keep up with it.We didn't even hear about half of the
DNFs until the end of the race, yep, because and then like just
the pan up of going like hey, when the fuck did the Raspberry racers

(16:04):
get the d NF and like justrandom ship like that was just like fucking
mind blood to me, honestly,trying very very hard to be positive for
a second, like it is sanRally, like the course positive about my
boy, Tanny. You've done that, Puny, you don't need to need

(16:25):
helper, and so like it's stillsand Rally. The course was fine.
It's you know, it was adecent course that we just had no sense
of the length of the races,as far as we could see, was
good and if it was two separate, really good races that got mashed together
in a weird way. But youknow, I think that was fine.

(16:48):
Also Red Eyes gold medal made mevery happy, and like it is a
very undisputed one. Red I didvery well in both races. Think unblocking
Lord, but like also if ifthey're doing the two races at ones thing,
Like, I'm not inherently opposed tothe format. The fact that you
do it based off times is weirdbecause it's like it's like funnels when you

(17:11):
have marbles bumping into each other.Just doing purely based off track time,
it just doesn't work. So scoringwould be better. And also it's very
weird that they're trying out this newformat that is not necessary to decide the
results in the event that are goingto decide the starting order for honey Dome,
which is already controversial in and ofitself. That's a whole different argument.

(17:33):
So when I heard that, Ithink we had talked about it on
the previous episode, and then Iheard Greg reiterate it in this event,
I thought to myself, Guys,I feel like you're shooting yourself in the
foot. You can make Event sixteenthe Grand Finale. It's a Marbula one
event in a sense, why nothave qualified to a Q one, do

(17:57):
a Q two and then give usthe five a race. Make it,
make it a weekend, guys,make this like the real deal to end
the Marble League. Why are youshooting yourself in the foot and cutting out
more video time? Is it?Is it because they feel rushed, because
they feel crammed? Like we likewe talked theres what are the view counts
on qualifiers? Though no one watchedthose two theys, But you would you

(18:19):
not watch qualifiers if you're invested inthe Marble League and your team had a
chance to win, you would watchit? No? I would yeah,
yeah, okay. So the SavageSpeeders they have been at how do you
do twice and the one time thatthey were there, they had the pole
position and they won. And thesecond time that they were there they got

(18:41):
eleventh place. I don't know wherethey started, but it wasn't pole position.
So with these standings from after saidrally, I have absolutely stoked about
this. They're not starting a poleposition. They're starting at what seventeenth,
sixteenth place? You know, thisis a free cup, true for me,

(19:02):
and we're gonna have ourselves to dobarbar League champion, I think,
but uh yeah, we're gonna Wow, that's a bold prediction. There gotta
be the fucking Savage Spears because oncethey were on pole, they want it.
Once they weren't on pole, theyfinished eleventh. So not exactly a

(19:23):
perfect system. Listen, I knowthis is not a perfect system, but
this is a perfect system for me. And I don't want the Savage Spears
to wait again. I don't wantthem to run away with this bullshit.
Do you want a whole year ofthe Savage Speeders and fucking Slimer because winning
ship? No, I don't.I want the fucking ro Rollers. Still

(19:45):
a contention, yep. Yeah,Let's get those babies on the bodium.
Let's put them at the top ofit. Let's win a let's row ho
roll ourselves into a goddamn champion.Yes to do that, me too,
and we will discuss, like youknow that, all the outcomes that could
possibly happen. It a little bit, but yeah, we got the final

(20:06):
countdown coming up. What you gotYeah, bringing things back down to a
level of less hating the Savage Speeder. It's not hatred, it's love of
other teams. Yeah yeah, yeah, what did you say? Yeah,
it's just like I spoke of alot about this last time. And my
opinion has not changed. This isjust not a good way to do qualifiers.
Like sure it worked out well forthe savage speeders not doing good and

(20:29):
qualifying, But like Decker, Ithink you're onto something like it doesn't even
need to be a weekend, butlike make it a big thing. Have
the qualifiers. Even just if yourun a Q one round and don't bother
running a Q two round, that'sa good qualifier system. It's why you
do it. In Mabula one,yep, like I wasn't the I was
probably the least unhappy person with thetwenty twenty system out of the entire fandom,

(20:49):
because like I thought it worked quitewell with reverse starting grid for a
five lap qualif when are you everhappy? But when am I ever unhappy?
When the you know didn't qualify anywayall the time. But yeah,
but yeah, like doing time trials, there's a reason you do it for

(21:11):
everything in popular one like it andif you want to pad the run time
to get better view metrics, likewhy on earth would you not just do
that? It makes a video longago which helps you out in that sar.
You could make it a se video. You make a sheperd ficial people
might not watch, but people dowatch them still, Yes they do.
We're living proof of that, butwe have to talk about it every time

(21:33):
you do them. Well, wewatch it, but like the casual fan
base that makes up the majority oftheir views wouldn't. And I also personally
don't want to watch a ten minutetime trial video or a ten minute time
trial tacked on before the thing.I think the twenty twenty placement thing worked
fine. The only thing that wasweird with it is in fact, the
red egg got P five for noreason. The red I think should That's

(21:56):
the only thing that was wrong withthat. Personally, I think it was
fine. I agree, and likeeven with the reverse standing things, I
think it's better that the reverse standingsapplies to a placement rais instead of the
actual race. But Ram and Powderhad a post on Reddit saying that the
reverse standings the only reason it wasbad in twenty twenty one was because eleven
full teams could win, Like nowit's only five. They're all grouped together

(22:18):
at the back, so it's fairlyeven like stakes between all of them.
That would probably work better. LikeI'm not, I'm also not the maddest
in the world of sand Rally beinglike the prelude to the finale and deciding
the standings. But it's also veryit's still weird, like it's a weird
fix to a problem that doesn't exist. Yeah, I just I want to

(22:41):
agree with what you're saying. Nota gone but I personally, coming from
a big racing background, I loveeverything racing. I watch it all.
I think there should be a qualifier, especially for any style of racing event
other than sand Rally. Sand Rally, we don't need that. Get that
out of here. But if it'sgoing to be Marvia Wan qualifying, and
if it's not going to be qualifying, give me reverse standing sort I will

(23:04):
take that easily. Over what they'vedone here this year. I think it's
a fiasco. It makes zero sensebased on how they did sand Rally.
They did it dirty. Like goingback to my points earlier, the scoring
system was bad. So now you'vetaken this really bad event and now you've
kind of tainted your final event becauseof how bad event fifteen and the scoring

(23:30):
was. I mean, I completelyagree. I also wanted to shout out
to the Shining Swarm because they didn'tput Ster again again. You know,
they ended up a fifth place.Going on with this team, I don't
know. They're at last place rightnow, no, fifteenth place right now,
right by the last I didn't evenfucking realize it was still in this

(23:52):
competition, which was a gliding glaciers. They're not gliding for glory. They're
gliding for last place, gliding forthe showdown. Possibly, I mean good
finish. Maybe that guy, maybehe's like Phil Collins. Maybe he plays
drums. He'll have his own successfulsolutor along with Starling having his own successful
solotor. Well, I have tosee, you know, the songs haven't

(24:14):
been written, but the writing's onthe wall. And I will say that
I don't understand the scoring for thisthough, and I don't understand why as
implications on the next thing like firststandings would be awesome. But yeah,
I don't know where I'm going withthis. And he shut out the tandard

(24:36):
this again, I really think though, honestly, like he got shafted yet
again five plus like second fastest timeequal silver medal when it's just you know,
first overall, and then yeah,like basically at the same time he
was so he was only with ittwelve thousands of a second of his first

(25:03):
run to the second run and likethat's not equal fucking broadsity, that equals
fucking gold well along with red Eyered Eye Dog. Yeah, the goats
back can't wait for this this wholedude, two separate things combined the times
works and like relay and qualifiers andblock pushing because it's like separate lanes and

(25:26):
it's like a sterile environment or whatever. Not a race at that point.
The fact this was a race.The fact the fact that this idea of
comparing two races is stupid. Itshows up when you just look at like
the highlighted green numbers on the finalchart and you find that only two results
from the first race. Mad rightat that point, why we even have

(25:47):
the first race one that red Eyewon. I mean, move on,
guys, I'm over sand Rally.All right, well let's be talking about
sad things. Yeah, so let'smove into the bits. Watch by segment
it in Marble Sports podcasting history thatis fuck overreactions. I guess we just
kind of overreacted. It's okay,I'm used to it. It's not caring

(26:11):
too much. It's in terrible justcalm down, rage, no, this
place to the ground if you pickedthat one. We put the hashtag out
there. There's hashtag I know it'sonly about fifteen to twenty three bus,
And we got one from Pinky Winkynice said hashtag I know it's only about

(26:33):
fifteen to twenty three bus. Backto back Baby Pinky Panthers starting p two
at honey Dome is a dream cometrue. Pinkies are the best championship defenders.
It's podiums all the way down.Wow, hey, talk to your
ship man with all the ship comingout with big pinkies. Jmamember, who

(27:00):
knows. We also got one forbig Brothers watch egg who If you guys
haven't been paying attention, that isthe Solar Flares account. They used to
be so what who cares? Nowthey're big brother is watching? They said
hashtag I know it's only about fiftytwenty three bus story. I like my
two heats and then a final notthis order stuff magicate first of this event

(27:25):
and winning the next one. StupidAlso Roo Rollers third place curse incoming.
Fuck you Solar Flares. The Rollersare winning this goddamn shit. He's a
fuck. We also got one forfucking plader Raiders him but he's just talking
to Jel tanger and so I'm notgonna fucking read it. Also, he
put the E at the end ofTangerine, So come on, get together.

(27:48):
Come on, Bob, what youdoing that? Autocorrect off? Add
tangentent to the fucking dictionary on yourphone? What are you doing? Fake
fan? He said, Taman's gracetoo of marble history, No doubt,
that's not even a real action.And I'm not reading the rest of it.
So that's been over reactions. Wehave a couple of mail bags.
Any thoughts, on said rally,how to fix it? Uh? And

(28:12):
where we're going in the future.You guys already know my points. I'm
don't do this, yes, yeah, back to basics, jam On,
you were good at this before,you could be good at it again.
Hell, I love it. AndI don't put sticks in the road either.

(28:33):
Yeah, and clear all those rocks. What was going on with all
the rocks? Yeah? Oh yeah, where the fact that like there was
the rocks, there was like thesand clumps, there was like just take
the trench deeper a little bit.Yeah, let's make it kind of a
halfpipe and then Tan's gonna fucking killit. Yeah, will Is It almost

(29:00):
felt more like a pebble rally wizCho. It was good. I like
else today. All right, we'llbe back, all right, and we
are back. And because we havenot got ed Hector here tonight, Decker,

(29:21):
congratulations, you do not have tofucking read. Oh thank God,
Christmas miracle. I am sure thatour listeners are very happy about this as
well. I will join then,I will join them in that happiness.

Blood of Rangers. And this isdirected at Hector again, and he said,
hey, it's grunch time. Actortwenty one point deficit with Marbula style
event remaining. Your team has donenothing one nothing one wait what they have?

(30:29):
One nothing? Your team has donenothing one nothing team against Marbula one
championship team. That's what it sayshere. Okay, I'm not starting this
over again. I started this overtwice. This is a test of how
delusional you are. Would you liketo concede defeat now? I'd consider reducing
your punishment or are you going downwith your sinking fucking ship. Make the

(30:53):
right decision, actor, and maybeyou keep some of your fucking hair.
Oh wow, what do you takeme for a Frenchman? Okay, So,
like, let's theoretical. Last Ichecked, you hadn't won the bet
yet. Let's think about this,all right, So Plasmo would have to
get cold, yeah, okay,is that happening? Yes, okay,

(31:18):
and then the Rangers would have toget what like fifteenth sixteenth four points,
so bottom bottom five, which consideringyour starting bottom five, that's easy.
Yeah, But I mean, like, you know, what if origins in
there like somebody like that, Like, aren't you worried about that? I
mean we were the Marbulla one seasonthree champions last I checked, neither of

(31:42):
the Arrangers could climb. All right, Hector, he's given you it out
here. Do you want to takeit? Or? Now? Be serious?
Do you really think I'm going totake the out here? No,
okay, well let's stubborn British man. There we go. There's your answer
at as your lawyer. You knowyou got you're my lawyer. Okay,

(32:04):
well you know, maybe this isa good legal advice that you should take
it. I advise again, takean advice from you never maybe? Okay,
Well see your whole head, Paul. Look next week, I guess
Well, if if Team Plasma winsthis event and a Ranger's tank, and
if I remember the Fantasy standing correctly, I'm gonna be happy about that because

(32:28):
Hector's delusions influenced me to picking TeamPlasma for or Fantasy for some reason.
It's absurd thing. But uh,all right, we got another one and
it is from Ellen Cermo. Wehaven't got one in a while from longtime
for a month now, which Idid not read that last one because it
was during Event eleven at a time. But he's a bail bag. Lots

(32:52):
of questions. Did Snowy race?If they can't, who will? Do
we know which marbles are racing?Is it worth while try to win m
v MD? There? What happenedwith Missy and Mallard? How could the
Savage Speeders lose? Well that theSpeeders get fourth again? What is the
hashtag for the final predictions? Iam feeling lucky, great show, great

(33:14):
season? All right? Can Ican I try answering all of those?
Sure? Okay? No storm?No, no, yeah, no,
even without that, I don't know. Yes, I question nobody. Nobody

(33:36):
knows what those questions were. CalStowe Race, Yeah, sure, why
not? If they can't, whowill it's no storm? Do we know
which marbles are racing? Nope?Is it worth while trying to win?
No? Happened to Ballard? Eveneven without that, No, I don't

(33:58):
give a ship. How can theSpeeders loose? They get under fifth place?
Bumblebees fuck pinkies, they fuck aswell. Yeah, basically we realistically
be the Savage Speeders to stay wherethey're at term It's really easy. You
put tangerine in for the honey DomeGP and he just fucks over whatever spears

(34:21):
right behind him. Bang, thereyou go. And then and then you
let the other teams go ahead andtake the win, leaving the Savage Speeders
in the dust, and knowing youhelped is uh So I'm assuming that the
Raspberry Racers aren't gonna have like Ruzzior somebody. And is that a factor
for the arrangers and tanger I meanprobably, you know Tangerine doesn't go by

(34:43):
anyone's rules. Okay, And whatis the hashtag for the file predictions?
We'll get to it. Shut up, it will come when it comes.
Hey, be nice telling Timo.Love that Tierro, but like you know,
he's answer too many questions. Arethe mail bags? And that's been
the mailbags. Thank you for sayingit's a great show, thanks man.
Those are great questions. Thank youmissed a couple, but we'll recap them

(35:07):
next week along with the finale.And it's only that set eleven. I
think we did a pretty good jobthis season. But that's the mailbags.
I'm gonna give l zero a bigtake of the week. Just yeah,
so many fucking questions right there.That's a great way to get no one
else to send a bunch of questions. We got our answers and they're all

(35:28):
from not a god and have offor me and yeah, we all throw
two cents in there, so Iappreciate that. Shout out to you,
El Teero. Here's a big takeof the week. Boo week Now gonna
send it over to the great Sphinx. Amazing bitch. A man in a

(35:50):
sound room not using any sound equipmentfor fantasy. I don't know on pressolve
them. I I like my jobtoo much for that, Okay, Well,
and so that give us a fantasyup tape fantasy tool because I'm going

(36:15):
back to my role of a budgetdollar store sky I don't we got a
fantasy at home. Yeah, exactlythe food. So I don't have the
fan fantasy. It's going to bea big surprise for after the whole thing
is over. You guys can speculate, you know it'll be great or you

(36:44):
know, you guys can do somemath on your own, because it's not
a mad podcast. But in ourstandings, in sixth place with six hundred
and twenty four points, it's misterPlasma himself Brooks six hundred. You did
break. Yeah, I consider itout a win, a full sixty eight

(37:08):
points ahead, almost nice. Infifth place is Pippin with six hundred and
ninety two points. Yeah, you'refairly you're you're fairly middle of the road,
straight up backing into sky Spot withoutany permission move from from Pippin over

(37:29):
here and term play the drop.I don't want fourth. Yep, that's
where Sky is even if he doesn'twant it. With six hundred and ninety
five point five's not even in abowl game this year. He's not yetting
more accolades. Really had three wins. He looked it up today just to

(37:50):
see if he's going to be ina bowld. Everything's looking downhill. Come
back to the podcast, man,everything will be better, missus Sky the
love Sky in third place with sevenhundred two points is term fuck all right,
yeah that makes sense. I meanby yeah, Rangers are doing your

(38:14):
teams did not have a great day. No, my teams are doing a
great thing for the whole community though, So that's true. Yeah, so
you will appreciate that sacrifice. Yeah, you know, for the greater good.
Yeah, out here doing God good. They're really doing their best to
keep down the two people who pickSavage Speeders. But it's still a fifty
one point gap up to me withseven hundred and fifty three point five okay,

(38:36):
fifty one and a half whatever,seven hundred and fifty three point five
points. This is this is whyI really need Team Plasma to like hand
Hector his bet win because Decker isn'tfirst, but seven hundred and seventy one
points and oh yeah, that gapseems slightly feasible for me to break.
And yeah it's close. That's realbecause it's honestly at Decker. You bake

(39:00):
up for something for the Leafers,you know, so you know this,
take this win, fucking push theLeafers into the playoffs. Mes hey,
maybe in June after San Marble rally, some random thing like maybe Marble maania
Z and I hold and Marble whyit will be lifted lordo kipping Marble Mania

(39:27):
y yeah, yeah, because youknow you gotta gen z. They neat
their ship and that way we callMarble. That was fantasy segment of why
we need Skuy back on the Padpodcast Scott about the Bowl games. But

(39:49):
that means you're free on Saturday,so let's do it. But thank you
dog On, who's the first Deckeryep ish points. Fucking dad of the
year. Shit, let's go baby, trying to reclaim that title. Hell
yeah, So with that, I'mgonna editor Hector because Hector he actually updated

(40:12):
all this ship by himself. Iappreciate him for doing that. And it's
predictions and we don't have a hashtagyet I got to think of one while
Hector's talking, So, you know, pleasing doorby if I ask Hector,
hey, what'd you just say?Right there? But you know he's gonna
start talking right at this drop whatOh yeah, it's predictions with the Pullman,

(40:42):
all right, Predictions update time andfresh off his fantasy first place in
sixth for the podcast with seventy fivepoints. Decare, I have no easy
way to say this. This isa terrible season for you, terrible,
terrible. You know what. Iwish I tried harder, but I don't.
I mean, it's Marble League,you guys know, come Marbula one.

(41:02):
I'm not going to miss any predictions. I'm going to be rally.
I'm going to be there every timepredicting Marble League is in my gym.
That's that's third on the list here. So I missed a couple of predictions.
I'll be back for the racing season. Well, I'm looking forward to
having the good Gambler back because rightnow it's sad with you in the bottom,

(41:22):
very sad. But in fifth placefor the podcast with one hundred and
two points, no change from lastweek at all, because he wasn't able
to predict. It's Sky right wherehe belongs, all right, so maybe
he's kind of taking on purpose.Maybe it's been rough. This whole schedule
is fucked, so it's just likeSky is way to see what he's guaranteed.

(41:45):
Yeah, I mean he's guaranteed tostay in fifth at this point because
he can neither pass Pippen nor bepassed by Deca. So there we go.
That's a win. Speaking of infourth place, I just mentioned one
hundred and twenty eight points. Onewin. It's Piven, all right,
shut out it. Yeah, Pippincan still make the top three for the
podcast standings, but has a bitof work to do because need the top

(42:09):
four prediction and the top three rightnow. I think Pippots take a hiatus
from the podcast, although if it'sjust waiting for the to Go stars to
come back or what, but knowingit probably is. Yeah. I mean,
she's a wild child, and I'msure starts back on Pippo. It's
gonna be back on this track.And Pipsen call her first year of college,

(42:32):
so you know she's said partying,having fun, so yeah, you
would hope, So I think so, all right, back to the standings
in third place with one hundred andthirty nine points one correct win. Snowbel's
paid off for me. I'm inthird and I can still win. Nice,
let's go. What were you inFantasy last? Oh? Dead last?

(42:57):
Yeah? Okay, so hey,you come up so we can keep
this whole tradition going. Yeah.I mean it's standard for me to be
amazing at one and terrible at theother, so I'm just keeping that going
all right. In second place withone hundred and forty three points, also
one win, only four ahead ofme is term bully four head. It's

(43:19):
tight. Yeah, it is verytight. I am right on your heels.
I could have swore that I didall of the predictions. I looked
through everything for probably about an hour, like while I was just listening back
to a podcast and could not findmy prediction for the one that I missed,
So I think thirteen whichever that was. Yeah, we'll put an asterisk

(43:40):
right next to my shit out ofluck, buddy, I mean elimination.
Yeah. If you can't find it, then you're out of luck. It
might have just been on an episodethat I have it not withsten back to,
but I think I have shipped outof luck, but in first place.
The only person in the entire fieldof everybody could the fans to have

(44:00):
three wins one hundred and sixty points. It's not a god damn fucking beauty.
No, no, no, no, god, no, no god.
It's a story point from the eventterm missed. So yeah, I
mean I fucked myself the Rangers.I should have picked Lactic, but they

(44:21):
like, I don't know better notmight have gotten four points higher. Well,
be a couple of points, youknow, every point counts with this
ship. Yeah, for the record, I did put Galactic in as your
actual pick. Cool I would deletemy message to you, so thank you.
Yay. All right, but thatis the podcast standings, and now

(44:42):
on to the fan standings. Now, as we usually do, if you
are in contention to win the title, you're not going to be doing your
prediction in the normal way, justtweeting it out and putting it on ready
whatever, We're gonna need you toDM it so that we don't get people
just deliberately screwing each other over totry and stay at the top, which
mean that the top ten people aregoing to need to DM their predictions.

(45:05):
Well, nine of the top tenat least Nonigan's in there, so we'll
do something special for you that doesnon is currently in Well, that would
be a spoiler, wouldn't it.Just say it. I'll get to it
in a minute. Suffice to say, Cyani Crazy, Craziest CATSI Pinky Winky
Solar flares, pinky toe. Youare ten through six. You need to

(45:30):
DM your predictions rather than just puttingthem on Twitter like you usually do.
And now the top five. Infifth place with one win, one hundred
and fifty seven points, it's DonovanDrayton, Donovan Dan Dragon, let's go.
Oh yeah Dan? Yeah. Infourth place with one hundred and sixty

(45:51):
points, three wins. Have youbeen paying attention? It's non Agan?
Ye wow? Can I get thedrop? Two? Nobody wants fourth,
but you are in the running.I told my fourth, but I want
to drop what fourth? Apparently?What the hell is your guys problem for

(46:13):
yourself? Let's go. Let's willyourself at the fucking first place. Yeah,
I mean you're not that far off. In third place with one hundred
and sixty one points and one win, we have Mia one, two,
three, four, four, five, Hell yeah, shout out here.
She went down a spot. Isee yeah, yeah, second before Yeah,

(46:34):
got passed by a second place predictionfor the for the last event,
now second place runner Conrad Hines.No, I don't think so okay good
Yeah, but in second place withone hundred and sixty seven points, shockingly,
no correct wind picks. We haveloco all right, love that chicken.

(46:58):
Let's go. He's crazy. Yeah, no correct wind picks, but
five correct second or third picks,so you know, no correct How many
do you have three win picks?No? No, one has three wins,
and it's seven points behind a coupleof times, you know it happens.
Yeah, but in first place stillthe one that everyone is chasing.

(47:24):
With two wins one hundred and seventytwo points, it's tumult two more let
chaos, rain baby, shit's gettingchaotic at the top. I love it.
Yeah, it is is a fairways ahead of most people, but
can still be passed by potentially ninepeople ifpredates the last place person for the

(47:50):
final event, so the top ten. Please d m your predictions rather than
putting them out publicly, because thatmakes it a lot fairer. And I
know it might be one, butplease don't all go crazy. He's crazy.
Cat size please, it'll make itmore fun. Also, like,
yeah, if you do want toput about publicly, like feel free to
do so, but to make itfair to I mean, you're giving yourself

(48:12):
a disadvantage if you put it outpublicly. Exactly. So yeah, DM
Big Gets Big Takes or Hector hWalker music. If you're in predictions,
you're definitely you definitely have a wayof contacting us privately. So yeah,

(48:34):
exactly, don't DM Sky he's upsetabout not being a Bowl game this year.
It'll just be like, yeah,they all picked the sixteenth place guy,
all right. So with that outof the way, I'll just run
down who it is that needs tosend dms for a version that is Cyani,
Craziest Catsie, Pinky Winky, SolarFlares, Pinky Toe, Donovan Raising

(48:55):
Nia one two, three foot fourfive, Pyo Loco, and Tumults and
then only go and we'll give youthe choice now because it's time to make
our predictions for the final event.Is that Does that mean it's the final
countdown? Yeah? Yeah, we'renot making the predictions for the final event
right now. We're going to doit's the final awesome yew. We're heading

(49:39):
I'm going first, give me thecrazy Cat's eyes. If they don't put
red Eye out there, I'm donewith this team. Give me red Eye,
all right. If they don't poleposition, they have to use red
Eye in this event. If youdon't fire the coach, fire all management.
If you're not using the if you'renot u in the best marble to

(50:00):
ever put it down on plastic andMarbula one, you're you're dumb. You
deserve to lose your job. Giveme red Eye, all right, duggar
to be a little bit of acontrariant. If red Eye was in the
said rally and you can't use thesame marble for Barbula one track, what
are we doing? Yellow eye orblue eye? Yellow eye? All day?

(50:22):
Man? A question? I wouldsay, even a question. Let's
give green eye shot maybe, yeknow what, I think bullseye might hit
the mark. Put the coach inside, I could go himself. Okay,
all right with that? You gotnext? I mean, yeah,

(50:46):
crazy Cat's eyes, red eye oryellow Eye. I don't think they could
both do it. True, youcould cut them and them together and have
them I don't know the Wayne Gretzelall right, So like just to be
clear. Savageers have one sixty six, Crazy Cats Eyes have one forty seven.

(51:07):
Put that out there. Yeah thatis a pretty big gap. It's
a pretty big gap. But thanksto this this clusterfuck of a system we've
got going on there in the back, we're in the front. You know,
you can argue if it's fair andsquare, but well, we'll win
based on the system. I feelyou bild it if it's fair square,

(51:29):
but yeah, I appreciate Heck there, Okay, finding out I'm breaking with
tradition here. I'm not going withthe Savage Speeders because screw then. I'm
not going with Crazy Cats because Idon't want them to win. There's two
teams left in that I actually wouldbe happy winning, and those are the
Pinkies in the Rowho Rollers. Andbecause I want them to win a lot
more than I want the Pinkies towin, give me the Rowho Rollers.

(51:50):
Hell yeah, I love that.Heck there, I love that fucking shit
also. All right, so yeah, I'm just gonna do mid as well.
Tadred he's start or you know aRangers they're starting twelve. I'm hoping
it's Tan Tree again because you knowhe's right behind a pharoh, that's what
te plasma. That means blood ofRangers. Chip would win the bet if

(52:10):
Tandre does tangerate things, Whizzy rightbehind them, So that means savage,
not way this entire thing, butby winner for the final count out.
I'm going with you, hacked there. The Rollers life is for us,
baby, I need this? Canyou can you sing it for us?
No? So Roby Rollers Life isnot for me. Crazy Cat's eyes followed,

(52:40):
Joe said, we go come backfrom Showdown for one season and think
they can take the circuit like that. You might think we're clouds and then
we're Rollers and then we win theGold roll A. Getting into productions,
well, I just wanted to saythat the Rower Rollers only one point behind

(53:00):
the Crazy Cat size right now,So you guys can go fuck yourself and
the Rollers life is for be aactor for predictions. I'm assuming we all
have the same pick here going intopredictions because it's the final event. I
mean, give me the crazy Catseyes, it's all that coming in mine

(53:21):
win it all right on the backof red Eye. That's my prediction,
all right. Nothing for Sca andPippin. I am going to immediately prove
you wrong deck or I'm not goingwith crazy cat size. I'm going with
the snowballs. Wow, I holdfor fantasy. If they put Snowy in,
then I want Snowy to finally proveJmr wrong for kicking them out.
That'd be nice. They deserve Snoweyis fired up and ready for revenge Stowey

(53:45):
racing. I don't hope so weget snow blasts, all right, I
haven't paid attention to snow with theonly one does any good. No,
I've assumed your pick of red Eye. I'm definitely picking Eye. Lest I

(54:05):
pull a fast one and change itin secret after the episode to throw off,
which you are entitled to do.You are entitled to change your prediction
in secret. You very much are. Oh that just leads you ten?
Uh for me? Is it bythird right now? It is? Indeed?

(54:25):
Fucking give me ro fucking zero.Man, let's go give me the
rose. I mean like, that'sprobably that we win. They're coaching for
the for the last event. Isthat what I heard? Yeah? Man,
you know fucking red Gold gets thegoddamn gold. Yeah we're good.

(54:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Imean pinkies did it? You know what
term? I will accept the Snowballs, winning the ROO is coming second and
me being able to beat you inthe prediction standings whilst the roar role is
still win the league. If theseven sween is lose, I feel like
I win fantasy. If that happens, you probably did. I'd be perfectly

(55:15):
five with it. I'm not givingit my title belt. And uh fuck,
yeah, we only got one moreevent left. Then then we're onto
Marbula one League show Down. Ohyeah, don't forget the Showdown. Yeah,

(55:37):
don't forget s m R. OhSMRs after that and then Marbile for
sm R. Let's go. Yeah, I knew you would be yep.
Uh so to make your predictions forthe final event of Marble League twenty twenty
three, Uh, honey, doGP use the hashtag it wasn't it on

spell it, so it's hashtag IT w A s N t A n

Yeah, I mean, you gottaget bombed on a stew but he might
melt into fondue so fire. Imean, that's the bars he comes out
with. But did you just raiseyour hand? I'm trying to switch tabs,
all right? Well, uh soYeah, everybody make their predictions using

(57:55):
the hashtag it wasn't in on youAnd with that, hey, we got
actor. Remember if you are inthe top ten, like I listed off
earlier, don't make your predictions publicly. Send them to us privately unless you
want to give yourself a disadvantage.Yeah. I mean, if you're that
confident in your pick, your team'sgonna win still publicly. If not,

(58:19):
yeh old Hector yep or us andI will set it over to Hector.
But uh, yeah, good luckto everybody. Uh, there's been hell

fucking letter? Roll? Let itroll? Let it roll, and Mellow
Yellow could still get fourth. Whoa, whoa, Welcome to not quite alone

(59:17):
time with Hector redonegham. The finallyit was almost good. It could have
been good, like you could havebeen great either one of this this this
is gonna be the worst fucking alonetime segment because it's gonna be an extension
of the previous moments. Yeah,they had two perfectly good races. Either
of them you could have used.Yeah, I'm partial towards the second one.

(59:42):
Obviously you could have used either ofthem. Yeah, like, oh,
Betty, I just do a pointsystem with both of them. Like
red Eye still win snow he doesn'tget shafted. I think you still gets
some recognition for doing well in thesecond race, just like it would actually
make the first race matter for morethan just Snowy and whoever else did better
in the first race. Yep.Yeah, it's just sad to see Jamol

(01:00:09):
fucked something up that they have doneso well in the past, Like they
do this for they used to dothis for block pushing and I forget what
else, like the two tries andtake the better one thing. Yeah, it's just
