(17:02) First the Guy-bunal gives a nod to some Gamebreaking Guys who didn't make the cut for this season (18:26), before turning to three Guys who did make the cut for induction: the season's most literal and least nerdy Gamebreaking Guy (25:52); one whose flop became a hit (32:43); and one who broke the glass finish line (39:13). That's three, but will the class size stop there when it's time for induction into the Hall of Guy? (44:20)Theme Music by Don HamFind more at bit.ly/rememberthatguy

Let's make one thing clear: there is no nerd shit in the episode. There's no nerd shit when they're talking about pre-professional soccer (02:04); nothing nerdy about Japanese horse racing anime girl games (07:04); certainly nothing nerdy regarding Northwestern athletics (11:21) or the new RTG? trivia game "Backyard Fakeball" (17:00); and most of all there is absolutely zero nerd shit during Diaz's presentation of our final Gamebreaking Guy from the world of Zelda speedrunning (20:25).Theme Music by Don Ham; additional audio from Nintendo and ZFGFind more at bit.ly/rememberthatguy
