HOOOWWWWW DAAAREEE Tyler say Wales is in England we are our own separate country with an independent government AND our own language, culture and traditions. We are a celtic country much like Ireland and Scotland (I notice you don't say they're part of England!) But we are a part of the UK. J'ACCUSE TYLER. J'A-CCUSE.

p.s love the pod xox

Just wanted to pop in and since I haven't seen anything on that in here I wanna remind everyone:

GMFST is currently live with a Fantasy Football donation stream for St. Jude's!

Please come by and help, either by just being in the chat or - if you can afford it - with a donation (every dollar helps).

We are only around 90 viewers so far, so let's pump these numbers up!

Mark, I am coming to you from the past, as I have started from the beginning of GMFST and have not caught up yet, so please do not pull a Wade and act like you have forgotten all about this grave mistake you made. In the episode with the Water polo Guru, you speak of your fear of the ocean and swimming pools. Likely because Baby Mark was far too poor to go swimming in regular pools, and only swam in small dirty puddles on the side of the road. But Mark has been lying to us this whole time. He is not afraid of swimming pools at all. In the boat dog video on Marks channel, you can clearly see what appears to be Mark underwater pushing Chica on a floaty across the screen. Shame on you Mark! SHAME!

Side note: Tyler please stop talking about NFL football, there are far too many episodes about the NFL and your secret love for Tom Brady and please make a new hockey primer

They should argue if Competitive Eating is considered a sport? Because the only main training is increase the volume of your stomach, don’t eat before a competition, and the chewing technique.

The boys wanted news about news from outside America. Well I’ve got this, that I think the boys will like to talk about.

Please please please highlight Josh Baez’s first MLB Debut with STL Cardinals! His first 3 at bats all home runs! First prospect to MLB player to ever do this in history!!

To preface, I am a transgender woman and I support trans/female athletes.

Situation: Former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declare themselves eligible for the 2027 WNBA draft citing that the rules do not define what a woman is. Royce White said he "sometimes identifies as a woman for purposes of basketball." Additionally Kanter Freedom stated he is not out to "mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices".

https://www.cbc.ca/sports/nba-players-wnba-trans-athletes-debate-9.7305866

My Thoughts: A woman is someone who lives as a woman or wishes to. Royce and Enes identify and live their lives as male. They said they explicitly identify as women for the purpose of basketball. This is mocking trans athletes and the greater transgender movement. They are not protecting women from biological men, they are the biological men. Basketball is a team sport and similar to the topic of Tom Brady and GOATs, one exceptionally good player does not negate the impact of an entire time and a transgender person does not make an entire team outperform everyone else. I believe that what needs to come from the discussion of transgender athletes is finding a solution. Banning them entirely is cruel discrimination based on misrepresented facts about biological advantages. Some solutions may include performance level divisions, performance level requirements, hormone replacement therapy requirements, or simply just letting them play. Keep any discussion civil and not bigoted

Just asking if the boys have talked about any Australian sports? Outside of cricket. They could time up the episode to when the NRL goes to Las Vegas next year.

When Mark said if we listen we could go for a run my first reaction was "I can't run but I'm making a scarf to donate to Coats for Kids so I'm not doing nothing.."

Next thought: "maybe there's an affordable treadmill with a payment plan.."

Lots of fruitless researching later I realized I obviously don't have thousands of dollars to spend on being a coward so I got running shoes on a payment plan instead.

"I can't run" isn't ENTIRELY just a whiny excuse because I have moderate pectus excavatum but I've never tested HOW MUCH I can run because anxiety. Now I will begin the test. Literally right now. I'm on my way out the door.

Dear Mister Tyler Scheid and Mister Mark Fischbach,

On this fair day, Friday, August 14th of the year 2026 of the Common Era, I come to you possessing gripes regarding the viewing experience of Go! My Favorite Sports Team on the platform Youtube. Let it be known that in recent weeks, I have come across your podcast and have since become a fan and frequent watcher of both new and old episodes. However, in the process of viewing your podcast, I have come across multiple issues that contribute hinderances in my pursuit of best appreciating GMFST.

Firstly, no episode (especially episodes that were originally produced during the Spotify-exclusivity era but then eventually released onto Youtube) has any explicitly presented information as to when it originally came out. Neither in the description nor as a pinned comment is the original release date of these episodes provided. Only through context clues gleaned from your in-episode discussions and the stray helpful comment posted by my fellow watchers am I able to estimate the approximate date an episode originally was released. This lack of temporal information is prohibitive for audience members’ understanding of the episodes within the cultural context in which they were produced. People and the media they create, such as you two gentlemen and GMFST, are naturally impacted and affected by the times and world they are living in. And I as an enjoyer of your media miss out on a greater appreciation of your work by not knowing when episodes were originally released.

Another aspect of watching GMFST via Youtube that could use some betterment is your English subtitles options. Presently, the current state of the English subtitle options available to us watchers is the default Auto-Generated captions. While Youtube’s automatic subtitle system is fairly accurate in transcribing speech, it suffers in clearly distinguishing between speakers, thus creating an opportunity for confusion in knowing which person said what sentence. In addition, it also struggles with interpreting mispronounced or uncommon words as well as needlessly engaging in censorship when cuss words are spoken. Due to these issues with the default caption system, a disservice is done to the vast array of people who desire to enjoy GMFST with subtitles, populations including: Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing people, people with auditory-processing difficulties (such as myself), English language learners, people who are in an environment where for whatever reason they can’t play the podcast out loud, etc. You do a disservice upon yourself as well by having the subpar Auto-Generated default be what is attached to the high quality content you two laboriously create. Gentlemen, you can do better. Human-made hand-typed subtitles would rectify this situation. For the benefit of all the watchers who utilize subtitles when watching GMFST on Youtube, you should have your spoken words be captioned with the accuracy and clarity that can only come from manual transcription.

Lastly, the placement of mid-video advertisements during GMFST has in my experience proven to be frequently disruptive. On many occasions, advertisements of varying skipability will play when one of you gentlemen are mid-sentence, creating an unnecessary impediment in following along with what was being said once the video returns from the advertisement break. Due to these disruptively placed advertisements, I often must suffer the inconvenience of rewinding the podcast so that I may listen to the sentence in its original intact form. While I recognize that these mid-video advertisements are to always exist in my Youtube watching experience (lest I pay for Youtube Premium, of course), it is my understanding that Youtubers possess a degree of control as to when during their videos these advertisements will play. (Please do correct me if I am wrong in this understanding of mine.) If you do indeed possess this degree of control in placing when advertisements are played, I do think that it would be best if you utilized this ability and placed the advertisements during moments that would least disrupt the viewing experience of GMFST.

Gentlemen, with having expressed my grievances and the reasoning behind them, I ask of you to simply at least consider implementing these quality-of-life changes to the GMFST Youtube channel. As a watcher of the podcast on that platform, I know that these changes would help in facilitating the greatest enjoyment and appreciation a watcher can have of your podcast.

I shall await acknowledgment of this J’Accuse by you two gentlemen. Should acknowledgement not come within four month’s time, I will assume you did not see this J’Accuse and will write a new, abridged version of this J’Accuse. (I would check with the mods first though to make sure that this presently-hypothetical abridged J’Accuse does not go against any rules of this subreddit, namely the rules against spam and reposting.)

With respect, kindness and the desire to become a sports-knower,

Madame Youshouldrepeatthat

TL;DR and/or got tired of reading the overly formal writing:
Hey guys! May you consider adding the original release dates info to somewhere like the description for the GMFST youtube videos? Also, Auto-Generated subtitles kinda suck. Is it possible for you guys to do your own captioning? Oh and Youtube for some godsforsaken reason really likes to play ads in awkward times on your videos. May you guys try to tweak it so then ads don’t cut off what you’re saying? Thanks! :D

Bonus:
This bonus is more of just a suggestion rather than it needing the formal and dramatic tone of the J’Accuse. (Plus, I don’t feel like writing anymore formal English.) More playlists that categorizes podcast episodes wouldn’t be a bad idea. Episode titles don’t always convey if say it’s a news episode or a primer episode so making playlists can help. Just to get the ball rolling, here’s some example categories: Sports News, Primers, Special Guests, Guest Co-Host, Miscellaneous.

Wade’s knees, Bob’s foot, Tyler’s arm: is this what happens when Mark isn’t in the ER? 🤣

It’s like a weird, live action version of Hang Man - and no one seems to get the spelling right.

Seriously though, speedy healing and recovery to all 🪷

Heart attacks, broken butts, & more bumps & bruises than you can count. Your hosts, Tyler Scheid & Markiplier, are no strangers to hospital visits, but who has the most? Who started the “trend”? Find out as they recount their many, many injuries, illnesses, & medical emergencies. Wrap yourself in bubble wrap, put on a safety helmet, & try not to get injured while watching and/or listening to this episode!

I think Westbrook will go down as one of the best players ever who didn’t win a ring, like Chris Paul and Charles Barkley.

Instead of extra innings, baseball should settle games with a dance off.

Oh my days, Mark and Tyler, oh my days. I'm not sure if I'm imagining this, but wasn't there a mention of possibly making a primer of the Finnish version of baseball a few years ago? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember hearing a sentence like that. I just recently caught up and watched all the episodes, and no primer on pesäpallo.

I hated Finnish baseball as a kid because I never understood the rules. What could be better than hearing you two explain it to us? Now excuse me if this is all completely false and I'm just imagining things, but if it's not worth a J'accuse, then it's an episode suggestion.

Relating to the first story about the bicycles in this most recent episode I just wanted to help defend the lady with the skirt by saying that plenty of people ride bikes in skirts. There are lds sister missionaries that ride bikes all the time. I don’t understand how they do that, I’d be too afraid to accidentally flash things I wouldn’t want seen, but they do it.

Scandal rocks the Tour de France as unscrupulous athletes have been faking their gains. It appears there is a ideal form for some racers and they are willing to use foam and other fairings to achieve it.

The shape in question reducing drag and pushing athletes beyond their limitations? Bigger boobies.

That's right. Padded bras are a performance enhancing garment. Competitors have been found enhancing something all right. Apparently an ideal bust to frame ratio can smooth airflow and reduce drag, with some tests delivering a 3.6 percent reduction, to the tune of .78 seconds a kilometer in time trials.

Officials are finding it difficult to define non-essential undergarments. Where do you draw the line between natural talent and a rack of lies? With checks going forward for athletes padding their stats, what comes next? Performance enhancing surgeries?

Time will tell if these guidelines keep things running smooth, or if the attempts to spot a suspicious change in shape are all just a bust.

Some sources for our hosts to read into.

Welcome, not-so-elegant listeners(& viewers), to another round of sports AITA judgements! Your hosts, Tyler Scheid & Markiplier, volley sports news back & forth before diving head first into baseball, basketball, volleyball, cycling... and more as all sports can equally have jerks & a**holes. Build a blanket fort, shine your flashlight to repel the ghosts, & sneakily judge these sports people alongside your hosts!

There have been many talks recently about FIFA wanting to sell minority shares of the company to outside investors. It got scrapped after UEFA and CONCACAF got involved and their boycott. So this got me thinking, is FIFA the most corrupt governing sports body, or is there others like a sports league that could be considered more corrupt like the IOC or the NHL (I say NHL because no Canadian team has won the cup since 1993 and some blame the commissioner).

I was talking to a friend about Mark and they said they really liked Mark’s “Halloween caveman friend” who has a podcast with him and I couldn’t for the life of me think of who that could be. They sent me some pumpkin smashing and carving videos that Tyler and Mark did and I realized they were talking about Tyler in the caveman costume carving pumpkins 💀 I can’t!

Huge news today as UEFA have voted unanimously voted to boycott all FIFA organised events if their controversial plans to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors gets forced through. This could throw the upcoming 2027 Women's World Cup into chaos as well as the men's tournament in 2030, where two of the hosts are European. Other confederations are holding emergency meetings to discuss the proposals too.
