With the Guy-bunal temporarily fractured, Host Diaz and Very Special Guest Xavier welcome back friend of the show and Graphics Extraordinaire Mike Canter for another Guy presentation.
Canter's pint sized superhuman from the largest subcontinent certainly has a puncher's chance (16:36); but with still two Guy-bunal members to win over, will it be enough to punch a ticket into the Hall of Guy? (37:47)

The show is on the other foot as this week Hosts James and Diaz welcome not just Very Special Guest Xavier but also Guest At Large and author of A History of Basketball in Fifteen Sneakers Russ Bengtson.
After the Guy-bunal gets to hear Russ speak from his sole on his areas of expertise as an introduction (22:20), it's time to hear about the pair of basketball goons that are the Guys for consideration this week (49:21). They may have both crossed the ocean for the NBA, but only one will cross the threshold into the Hall of Guy. (1:12:08)

It's one better than ten, or at least that's what Hosts James and Diaz along with Very Special Guest Xavier are banking on as the Guy-bunal convenes for the 11th edition of Reliti-Guy-tion.
Some of the Guys considered include a known thief (15:13); an Argentine Owl (22:23); yet another Argentinian (26:04); a true Giant (29:10); a Phishy muse (32:50); and a Hurricane (37:47). They may have come up short on their first go round, but unless there are any objections, they should have no trouble this time finding their way into the Hall of Guy. (39:29)

It's not the longest episode, and it certainly doesn't have the most guests, but it is the biggest episode of RTG? yet as Hosts James and Diaz welcome Very Special Guest Xavier on the show so the three of them can take some time to discuss Big Guys.
Diaz is first up and brings in a real Giant struggling with their size (10:55); James stands tall with a typecast titan at tending goal (37:32); and Xavier gets a little sexy with it... well, not exactly little (57:02). They'll need to carve out a bigger spot in Hall of Guy, but who will be the one to fill it? (1:33:52)

This week, one dimensional isn't just something defined as a mathematical space in which location can be specified with a single coordinate; it's also a descriptor for the skillsets at the heart of this week's discussion between Hosts James and Diaz welcome back Very Special Guest Xavier as the Guy-bunal debates Guys Who Were Only Good At One Thing.
James begins the proceedings with a show-stealing Guy who's been running through their mind (21:13); Diaz gets the ball second and makes a passionate plea for an all-time glass polisher (42:19); Xavier takes a shot from way outside with a setpiece specialist (1:08:19). No need to have a diverse application this time - as long as just their one skill is good enough, just one Guy will make their way into the Hall. (1:26:48)

There'll be no discussion of revolutions or coups bloody or otherwise this week - instead, Hosts James and Diaz along with Very Special Guest Xavier will convene as the Guy-bunal to discuss Dynasty Buster Guys.
Xavier is the first to serve up and hold court on a challenger who bested a Big Three (19:45); James chronicles a life of ball and brotherly lover (47:50); and Diaz manages to find a bicoastal bum who battered the Bronx bombers (1:14:52). These three won't be up against any dynasties this time, but they will square off against one another to see which gains entry into the Hall of Guy. (1:40:07)

Whatever you do, don't look down! It won't be safe while Hosts James and Diaz along with Very Special Guest Xavier convene as the Guy-bunal to discuss Guys Who Fell Off A Cliff.
Diaz talks about his favorite character from The Office (13:33); Xavier catches a train from Moose Factory to Shark Country (43:49); and James covers a Maddeningly brief star turn (1:04:22). All three of these Guys fell off, but which one will land on their feet and land a spot in the Hall? (1:28:45)

Hosts James and Diaz are back with Very Special Guest Xavier and no, you're not seeing (hearing??) double this week; but rather sextuple as all three members of the Guy-bunal are ready to tell the tales of Guys Who Lived Double Lives.
James begins with a booksmart ballplayer who parlayed that into working in intelligence (21:40); Diaz asks folks to lend an ear to the tale of (41:04); and Xavier wraps it up with an Olympian described in a three-act three-ring story (1:24:57). Multiple lives might be a package deal this time, but there will still only be one Guy that can make it into the Hall. (1:54:06)

These are the Guys now, dawg: the Guy-bunal reconvenes as Hosts James and Diaz team up with Very Special Guest Xavier to surf the web and sound incredibly out of touch while discussing .Guys Who Became Or Inspired Memes.
James swaggers up to the line first with cocky, cockeyed, and confused sharpshooter (24:48); Diaz brings in a Guy who told some foul jokes that came to a head when he became the butt of one (49:15); and Xavier Spices up the final entry with a former lineman who has a talent for punchlines (1:26:23). These Guys are already immortalized in the ephemeral World Wide Web, but which one will end up getting uploaded to the Hall of Guy? (1:41:17)
