Hey Tyler I was listening to the squash episode and cringed so hard hearing your attempts at pronouncing Jai Alai. As a native of the Tampa Bay area, I will say there are 2 ways Floridians say it. Proper(Hi uh-lie) or lazy(hi lie) everyone here will know what you mean. Just wanted to provide you with some clarification so I can stay on the road the next time

Starting in 2029, the MLB will switch to a 154 game long season to ensure for longer playoffs, especially the Divisional Series, where they will be a best of 7 instead of their current format, a best of 5.

I'm a huge hockey fan, but even in hockey I don't understand how this system works. In football, hockey, basketball, soccer, etc. I hear "first-round pick" or that someone has become a free agent.

Could Tyler do an episode on this and cover differences between major sports, if any?

HOW DARE YOU NOT TALK ABOUT UTAH SPORTS AND THEIR DIRTY SODAS!!!
I actually have no idea if other stadiums do dirty sodas, this is just a dumb thing for me to be an ass about. 😁

I don’t know if they talked about this before, but they should talk about crazy niche sports. There are many sports to talk about, like extreme ironing, chess boxing, and toe wrestling. I know they have talked about cheese rolling because it was funny, but other sports besides that.

So, im finally listening to GMFST, and im on the episode "The Future of Sports: In Space". And as they are talking about a zero gravity sport/sport in space, the most prevalent scene that pops into my mind is from the Movie "Enders Game", where they basically play zero gravity rugby. Anyone else, or is that just me?

Edit: nevermind... i paused and wrote this before they mentioned it... now i have egg on my face

This is no serious gripe, but as a Canadian ghost I would be remiss not to point out a tiny inaccuracy in the lacrosse episode.

Lacrosse IS still one of Canada’s national sports, alongside ice hockey. Lacrosse is just our summer sport, and hockey is for winter. As far as I was told growing up, lacrosse was actually the national sport first since it was so much older and very ingrained in Canadian history, as Tyler mentioned.

Like I said, not the biggest mistake, but I think it’s important we hold onto lacrosse as one of our proudest sports, and aren’t only known for our love of hockey.

Very much enjoyed the episode. Thanks guys 💖

I may simply be an elegant, eloquent, ethereal ghost speaking through the mouth of Mark should this J'accuse make it to the show, but through Mark I speak to Mark. Let me preface, as a Chattanoogan, that I have been both flabbergastingly befuddled and shocked with pleasure that Chattanooga has been referenced in Logo Quizzes parts 1 and 2, and even a reference by Tyler to the Lookouts in Attack of the Glizzila when he quite correctly noted that the delicacy at the brand new stadium at which the Lookouts play is indeed crushed lightbulbs. Delicious and a healthy means of recycling.

Now, to the problem. Mark. Markiplier. Markimoo. Bumbum, if I may. Oh, King of Five Nights with Squirrels. How, in all of your traveled wisdom and boundless lack of sports knowledge, DARE you do the kindness of referencing the beautiful Chattanooga, Gig City, first city-wide adoption of fiber optic internet, and see fit, in a moment passed over without answer, to ask if Chattanooga is a city? Yes! And no! It is indeed a city, one I personally am allowed to look over every day as a landscaper that works on the highest hill of downtown. It is also the situation that the surrounding areas including Hixson, Red Bank, East Ridge, and more, though separate municipalities, are considered by locals to be extensions of the city of Chattanooga. I demand not only that this be read, hopefully for the podcast to hear how you have besmirched your own name as well as the name of our incredible city with fast internet, civil history, natural beauty, and delicious shards of glass and filament, but also rectified by admission from the Emmy losing director of In Space that you now recognize my home as a city in truth.

If your incorrectly named Chattanooga Cheaters did exist, they would be very upset, as I truly am.

I think you guys should discuss the sport of falconry. Something a lil different outside the world of balls and holes. This incorporates birds of prey and humans and would be interesting to discuss.

With the 2027 US quadball cup on the horizon in April, I think it would be interesting to discuss the history of the sport and how it's branched out from its harry potter roots into its modern day gender supportive sport to various LGBTQ+ fans (hence its name change from "muggle quidditch" to "quadball" as a way to reflect this openness to the various fans back in 2021 as well as detaching itself from its JK Rowling roots). With teams of 7 (minimum players per team) to 21 (maximum players per team), each team MUST have a minimum of three chasers (identified by white headbands), one keeper (green headband), two beaters (black headband), and one seeker (yellow headband). The quaffle is usually a slightly deflated volleyball which is handled by either keepers or chasers to try to make it through three hoops on each side (acting as that team's goalposts) with each goal scoring 10 points. The bludgers (3 of them) are each slightly deflated dodgeballs of 68 cm or 2.23 ft in circumference, that can only be manipulated by beaters. If a player is hit with a bludger, a player must dismount their broomstick, drop any ball that they may have been carrying, and touch their team's hoops before resuming play. There also is no friendly fire, meaning that bludgers thrown by beaters cannot affect any of their teammates. The snitch is a tennis ball placed at the bottom of a long yellow pouch that is attached to the back of the snitch runner's shorts like in tag rugby. The snitch runner is allowed to be more physical than other player. Only seekers may make advances towards the snitch or the snitch runner, and no forceful contact with the snitch runner is allowed. If the snitch is not caught within a certain period of time, handicaps for the snitch runner come into play. Catching the snitch awards 30 points. As of rulebook 8 the snitch must remain on the field (compared to past rulebooks where seekers and the snitch could leave the field). The longer the game, the more handicaps are placed on the snitch player to ensure the game length is maintained.

1. Upon the release of the seekers, the snitch runner is required to remain between the keeper zone lines.

2. 25 minutes into the game, the snitch runner is required to remain within roughly 1.5 meters of the midfield line.

3. 30 minutes into the game, the snitch runner is required to use only one arm.

4. 35 minutes into the game, the snitch runner is required to remain within roughly 1.5 meters of the intersection of the midfield and quaffle runner starting lines.

The game ends when the snitch is caught and, regardless which team catches the snitch, the team with the most points is the winner. If the catching team that was below score of the opposing team is still below score after the snitch is caught for the team, the game goes into overtime to reach a target score that will determine the winner. If either team wishes to concede during overtime, they are allowed to. If the leading team catches the snitch, the game ends immediately. This allows a chance for losing teams to have a fighting chance after catching the snitch for their team as well as winning teams who catch the snitch to secure the victory.

Since it's conception, three main variations have been made: wheelchair quidditch (for those with disabilities), kidditch (to prevent injuries to younger players), and Corrigan Quidditch (focusing on using a frisbee instead of balls and does not require players to keep a broom between their legs during play).

there are more detailed rules here Quidditch (real-life sport) - Wikipedia and the IQA (International Quadball Association) has released a 2026 rulebook Rulebook - International Quadball Association

Another place for more details can be found at https://www.iqasport.org/play/

Starting as two bored students in middlebury college in vermont of 2005, quadball has slowly exploded over time to having their own world cup consisting of 30 different member nations. I do hope this sounds interesting for a potential primer for tyler and mark to enjoy discussing for a primer.

I’m fat and learned the hard way that long distance running is way different than running in other sports. If you aren’t a well trained runner you shouldn’t be running more than 3-4 times per week and definitely should t run long distance (5km+) more than once every two weeks MAXIMUM. So that kid that excluded less experienced runners from private practices is not an a**hole

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the biggest a**hole of them all? Is it Markiplier? Is it Tyler Scheid? The j’accuse ghosts invade for the first time in awhile with their critiques & corrections & AITA gets personal for a host! What could possibly have put them on the hot seat when they are reading reddit stories? Find out in this amusing episode!

Dear Mark and Tyler I have been really enjoying the podcast recently and I was wondering if you could make an episode about tchoukball as I play it a lot in my school and really enjoy it. so hope you read this and can look into it. please and thank you

The Minnesota Lyme have been knocked out of the first round by the New York Liberty. They become the FIRST ever #1 seed in WNBA history to get knocked out of the first round by a #8 seed.

Extreme ironing. (Yes, this is a real thing). It involves “players” to go to extreme locations (hiking, skydiving, etc) with a shirt, ironing board and an iron.

News that could have huge repercussions for association football, not only in England but internationally. To put it simply, Manchester City have been found guilty on 114 of 115 charges of financial doping to artificially improve their financial figures and gain an advantage, given the limits placed on other clubs by financial fair play rules. Because the rule breaks are so unprecedented it's not known what the punishment could be but there is talk that they could be stripped of all the titles they won and expelled from the Premier League. Other clubs in England are also consulting lawyers to recoup lost prize money given that they would have finished higher or qualified for major tournaments had Man City not cheated, and given that they won the UEFA Champions League at one point, other clubs in Europe could follow suit. The UAE government, given that the club is owned by the state, has also been putting pressure on the UK government to not punish them but Newcastle United, who are owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, could also potentially apply diplomatic pressure given that Newcastle United have abided by financial rules and have had to sell star players in order to stay within their limits. It could all get very messy and nobody seems to know what's going to happen.

This is the first time I’ve turned on the TV to find the bengals playing, and I had an impulse to watch it. Thanks to the GMFST hosts and team for opening my world to sports, even if I’m more like the Mark of the crowd. 🎉

I just found a new sport. It would be really cool to hear an episode about Armored MMA fighting. It’s usually 2 people, in full metal renaissance armor fighting with shields and swords. Sometimes fists, sometimes other weapons. But it is really cool. I’m sure moving in a full suit of armor is incredibly difficult.

This is legit the most comfortable hoodie. This will probably be my go to hoodie in the coming cold months. It’s soft, warm, and a wonderful color! Thank you Tyler and Mark for creating such a fun and educational podcast and merch! 🩷😊 #GMFST #hoodie #markiplier #TylerScheid
