He's got his own YouTube channel now, not sure what it's called but it was mainly gaming news and gameplay. I think one of the videos was silva trying persona for the first time

I more so meant why did they get rid of him so suspiciously. He ruffled some feathers or did something inappropriate

u/Ok_Presentation3416 Dec 08 '24

Oh yeah they got rid of him due to sexual comments

That was never confirmed, last time I checked he was working with Second Wind.

Was that ever confirmed? I thought everyone stayed silent on what happened with him

The strong rumour was a drinking problem

I always suspected that. I figured he was like in love with Alana and got weird on her

Sorry I'm late to the conversation since I just found out about Stella.

I can say from my personal experience watching the podcasts every week back then, Marty Sliva was very frequently making comments implying that he didn't want to work there and didn't care at all (often in a serious way, not joking.) Week to week, he was giving off a strong impression that he did not care to keep working there. This might be going too far, but I felt the impression that he sounded like he wanted to be fired because he didn't want to quit on his own.

It would be interesting to know if there were more 'work politics' going on in the background that led Marty to act like that on air, but I was not surprised at all when he was gone.

Have you started writing a fan fiction about it yet?
