Im not sure what i would do without this podcast

[@StretfordBear]

I really enjoy these podcasts, it adds so much to the events having an official discussion channel :) And you guys are great at it :)

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Thanks! These races have been awesome! Race 86 coming very soon!

[@StretfordBear]

As a Raspberry Racers fan, it hurts to say this....but Slimelime is one handsome marble.

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

We would agree!

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Sorry about the audio towards the end! The mics cut out for an unknown reason and we will avoid this for the future.

No problem Ross! Love the pod

Yeah, I was wondering what happened there.

From beginning to end, top notch takes. Let's go RR!!

Just happy that the chocolatier made it this far

Its crazy how good theyre doing.

BonBon is always showing up in big moments!

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

@@JellesMarbleCastPodcast Look at that. You just said more about BonBon in this one comment than in the entire podcast.

[@maximeloon]

I've been a Chocolatiers fan from the start and seeing them beating the odds and making it into the PLAYOFFS is honestly incredible as someone who is used to mediocre placements. Bonbon has had some scary weeks recently, being in the elimination zone at one point in weeks 9, 10 and 12. However, Bonbon has always been able to navigate the end races perfectly to avoid elimination. The best example of this is week 9 where they had a great first race, but quickly fell off and race 5 left them very far down the standings with a high chance of elimination. Despite the overwhelming odds of elimination, Bonbon did amazing in the last 2 races and escaped elimination! These last few weeks have proven to me that Bonbon deserves his spot in the playoffs and I truly have faith that Bonbon has what it takes to win and I think we're ready for the endgame.

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Bon bon has ben near the elimination line, but he keeps surviving which is the name of the game

[@tedfindler7835]

As a fellow die hard Chocolatiers fan, I agree. Bon Bon has had some in and outs but he's been solid this whole event. I think this might be a turn around point for the Chocolatiers.

[@butdadmygame]

I appreciate the work you guys are putting into these podcasts. Keep it up!

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Thank you for tuning in!

Thanks for this, you guys, this is great!

Thanks for the kind words Eric!

the ghost marble will be on the hazers soon. negotiations are underway.

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Contract talks have begun!

[@sniper2k364]

I think O'rangers went in a very noble way, by dislodging Limers. Thet is greatly appreciated. Also funny to watch fans saying in the comments that they don't know how to continue watching with their teams gone. Being a Limers fan, not having your team in the main event is a common occasion, but you still watch and root for backup teams. This is why Slimelime surviving that long is so precious and gives me joy.

[@Dalton1294]

I want to say that the bell carousel really did number on Shock in the first race. Very similar to Speedy's situation in week 9 where once that happened they couldn't recover. The O'Rangers have competed in every ML since the inaugural one in 2016, fun fact in the first event they were called O1, O2, O3, and O4. After the first event they revealed their true names as Mandarin, Clementin, Kinnowin, and Tangerin. ML 2016 was reuploaded in 2019, and the graphic displayed their names for the first event instead of O1-4

Rip the Fruit Circuit final 4 dream

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Tough to see the Fruit Circuit Marbles go.

[@UnknownRager96]

Getting a little worried as a Primary fan. That last place is helping in a course style that hasn't really been Aryp's strong suit. Making it to the playoffs/F8 is an achievement enough already, so even if we get out here I'll be happy, and Aryp should be getting ready for M1 anyway.

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

We believe in Ayrp and see him having a big race today! He has been racing so well in past races.

[@billko867]

Thanks for explaining the 4 race format. I was a bit confused. All we get to see on race day are the competitive side of the marbles. Maybe we can have glimpses of life away from the games?

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

Could we see a Behind the Scenes Marble Series?

[@Westronin]

As a chocolatiers fan, I was sad to see Mandarin go. They fought their demons together at one point. They seemed like good friends.

[@HHHFan6319]

Loving the podcasts. Unfortunately The Limers are gone. So I’m interested to see who you’ll both be backing now. Hopefully Oceanics😉😂 #TIDEPRIDE

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

I know one of us will certainly not be backing them hahah. We will see on tomorrows episode!

[@HHHFan6319]

@@JellesMarbleCastPodcast Sailed through! We shall see how the rest plays out especially going to single elimination style after the next 4 days. #TIDEPRIDE

[@UnkillableMrStake]

I think Rezzy heard y'all and took that personally last week lol the comeback yesterday was unreal

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

The MarbleCast was blasting in the Racers locker room.

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

As a CCE fan, the crying by Slow Ranger fans is astounding. Teams have good seasons and bad seasons. A Top 10 in a full 32 team event is a great finish. The entitlement of some team's fans makes me dislike their teams.

[@MaracleWolfClan]

I tend to agree with your thoughts as well (also as a CCE fan)

[@konstantinpobedonotsev5589]

Go Bumblebees!!!

[@The_Brian_Banks]

Thunderbolts tend to (at least from what I remember from previous events like m1 or league.) do good at til when it hits late game and they start fall hard down the leaderboard so that’s why I would’ve ranked them low on the power rankings.

[@The_Brian_Banks]

As a team primary fan I am afraid for this week and not because we didn’t do well Monday but it’s because we’re at the point where there is no lay up racers every racer in this race are close in skill and shown at some point that there here to play and they ain’t skating by. Though this is the second time where we are in the bottom two ever and first time we’re dead last.

[@Cake8833]

Chocolatiers and Limers were at the bottom of my list coming in to this week. Really depends on what happens in these next couple of races, but I'm still sticking with one of those teams being in the bottom spot for now. As for my Oceanics, Sea going for mid-table finishes is a tad concerning for our chances going forward. One bad race this week and we are easily looking at a possible elimination scenario, so hopefully we can get a podium finish in here at some point to boost our chances going forward. My winner this week is the Purple Rockets. Saucer is high on my list of candidates to win this whole thing, so them doing well this week would be a launch in the right direction for sure. That's all I got for now. Good luck to all the remaining teams and may the best marble(s) win! :) 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[@JellesMarbleCastPodcast]

The Purple Rockets continue to prove us wrong. Sea seems to be a determined racer...we are expecting a big race from him today.

[@No_Sleepee]

It feels so weird talking about "fallback" teams. I usually have several because out of the 6 or 7 teams I root for, usually only 2 of them make it per marble league. That being said, half of the remaining Marbles are ones I've rooted for in the past, or have considered as my backup for when the Limers got booted. Yet the Limers are still here, and while I don't think we can take home the trophy, they've accomplished so much and I'm so proud of Slimelime. The teams I had in back-up were Team Galactic, Wolfpack, Bumblebees, Team Primary, and Purple Rockets. I enjoy seeing these teams going toe-to-toe against the big names with bigger fanbases, and it's exciting to see them pull an upset.

[@JuriRosenberg]

But it was a hell of a ride thank you Schock

Great effort from the Thunderbolts and Shock

Great showing from Shock

[@sniper2k364]

With bell carousel, the worst part was the placing of half pipes. In the past races, even with carousel triggered, it was not that bad, but the last week you get stuck there and there is no way to recover as this is also the end of the track.

[@MaracleWolfClan]

You make mention of Mmatbula 1 coming then go on to list a number of teams.....and NOT mention CCE?!😮 Come on guys, show some respect!😊
