The flames that burn the Guy-est burn the fastest, and so this week when Hosts James and Diaz reconvene the Guy-bunal along with Very Special Guest Xavier, the three of them will discuss just that: Only One Top Flight Season Guys.
Diaz brings a story from across the pond that goes beyond the pale (21:21); Xavier (46:57); and James presents history's only ever Detroit Liger (1:13:45). They may have each managed to get their one top seasons, but only one will spend the rest of their seasons enshrined in the Hall of Guy. (1:32:51)

Verdigris. Lime. Kelly. Neon. Emerald. Mean Joe. There are many shades of green in the world, and they're the focus this week for Hosts James and Diaz as they bring back Very Special Guest Xavier to discuss Guys For Whom The Grass Was Not Greener.
James clears the airspace about a story regarding baseball buyer's remorse (24:46); Diaz logs an entry about Guy who looked for a shade of green besides midnight (44:55); and Xavier gives us the long-awaited third volume of the Kill Bill saga (1:15:33). The grass these Guys sought might not have turned out to be greener, but maybe maroon and orange will better suit whoever can get to the other side of the Hall of Guy. (1:41:36)

There's a mental side to sports, sure - but is there a sports side to mentals? That's what the Guy-bunal is set to find out this week as Hosts James and Diaz get some help from Very Special Guest Xavier in discussing Mind Sports Guys.
Xavier is first on the docket with some show-stopping Shogi (15:56); James responds next in the form of a question (36:50); and Diaz makes the final move with one last Guy for us to check(mate) out (55:25). These Guys are all pretty smart, so hopefully it won't smart too much when only one of them is selected for induction into the Hall of Guy. (1:16:35)

Join Hosts James and Diaz along with Very Special Guest Xavier as they welcome you to the festivities for this year's edition of the GOTYs.

What is the value of something that doesn't exist anymore? That's what the Guy-bunal hopes to figure out as Hosts James and Diaz alongside Very Special Guest Xavier gather to discuss Guys Who Were MVPs Of Defunct Leagues.
James leads off this week with A Guy of Their Own (13:34); Diaz relives the career of a Cougar looking for Brotherly Love (36:46); and Xavier finds a Guy with whom he shares an abiding love of the indoors (1:10:32). Their leagues may no longer exist, but one of them will get a chance to remain forever enshrined in the Hall of Guy. (1:33:56)

What happens when Guys stop being polite, and start being real? This week the Guy-bunal sets out to answer that questions, as Hosts James and Diaz welcome back Very Special Guest Xavier so they can discuss Reality Competition Show Guys.
Xavier first introduces the category as well as a modern Gladiator that you might not have heard of (18:30); followed by Diaz and a Guy working in The Miz-ery business (40:31); James recounts one Guy's journey to the (Steel Demon) Mountaintop (1:14:20). No one has any kind of Immunity idol, so all of their fates will be up to the council that will determine who makes it into the Hall of Guy. (1:39:45)

Let no Guy be an island unto themselves this week - it's time for Hosts James and Diaz to team up with Very Special Guest Xavier to discuss a trifecta of Island Guys.
Diaz begins the conversation by setting a new PR for mentions of Puerto Rico (23:44); James brings a Guy hopping from island to island as much as Douglas MacArthur (43:40); and Xavier gets off on a technicality with the Korean Kurt Angle (1:02:21). The Hall of Guy may not be quite as isolated as the island homes of these Guys, but it's still tough enough for only one to find their way in! (1:28:44)

If you need to take your mind off of things, there's likely no better episode than this one wherein Hosts James and Diaz along with Very Special Guest Xavier will get down to discussing Sports-As-An-Escape Guys.
Xavier begins the proceedings with a serious Syrian matter (20:06); Diaz lightens things up with the Pelé of lying (37:09); and James talks about the beginnings of a baseball Revolution (1:04:02). They might be concerned with escapes, but which of these Guys will the Guy-bunal help break in to the Hall of Guy? (1:24:54)

With the Host Diaz scattered to the winds for a week, Host James and Very Special Guest Xavier decide to take their Guy-bunal rubrics that have taken form over the past few years and apply them to a new pool of candidates, players eligible this year for induction into a different venerable institution - the Baseball Hall of Fame.
After explaining their premise (12:24), James and Xavier make their ballot for Guys that may not make it to Cooperstown but just might someday find their way to the nebulous geographic location of the Hall of Guy, including: a Tiger who changed his pinstripes (18:40), baseball's premier speed-runner (22:27), the man that crowned the Monarchs (27:35), the world's most crooked ballcap (32:53), Diaz's least phavorite Philly (35:12), an erstwhile Israeli (39:03), a Guy looking for elbow room (43:55), a misprinted prince of Denmark (46:20), un receveur québécois (50:28), and Baltimore's premier pie aficionado (55:11).

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)

What is Guy? Just ask Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart.
