I almost forgot about Blechmans stoner son working at MD. I think his daughter or some other female member worked there too.

They screwed up on the youtube front too. They had a decent channel in the early days of youtube. They had good content and had built up a good following. Then something happened (guessing someone in charge of the youtube channel lost their job) and MDs access to that youtube channel was lost. After that it was an uphill battle for them on youtube with their new channel.
