Remember That Guy?

By: James Diaz and Xavier
  • Summary

  • The show where we mine our memories for nuggets of nostalgia about peripheral players past and present.

    Every week, Hosts James and Diaz along with Very Special Guest Xavier do what sports fans love to do best: sit around and remember some Guys.

    But just what is a Guy? To paraphrase Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of [players] I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [...] But I know it when I see it".

    Whether it's a perennial postseason over-performer, a hometown hero who only appears that way through rose colored glasses, or just a really great story that has to be shared - Guys of every shape, size, sport, and gender are welcome in the storied halls of our memories.

  • RTG? 119: Guy-er's Remorse
    Feb 3 2025

    First is truly the worst this week as the Guy-bunal reconvenes, with Hosts James and Diaz joined by Very Special Guest Xavier to discuss Guys Who Were Failed First Overall Picks.

    James begins with this week's first overall Guy, a non-Laker from the shores of Ontario and Erie (13:49); Diaz has pick number two, a football Guy with two first names and zero self-awareness (36:33); and Xavier rounds things out with a Guy who ended up not just not being a jackpot, but being so bad as to inspire a lottery (1:10:12). All these Guys have been selected at least once by a number of franchises, but which one will be selected by the Guy-bunal for induction into the Hall of Guy? (1:34:04)

  • RTG? 118: Ball Don't Guy
    Jan 27 2025

    Like the great orator Yogi Berra once said, "the future ain't what it used to be", so today the Guy-bunal will look backwards for some other wise words instead as Hosts James and Diaz team up with Very Special Guest Xavier gather to discuss Guys You Don't Remember With Quotes You Do Remember.

    Xavier gets us up and running with a Guy as good as gold many times over (14:21); James brings to the table a noted anti-imperialist from the baseball world (36:00); Diaz talks about how for some Guys, ball is not just life, but truth as well (58:53). Their quotes may have outlived their careers, but one of them will get an even more lasting legacy with induction into the Hall of Guy! (1:41:21)

  • RTG? 117: A Guy For All Seasons
    Jan 20 2025

    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 (1:31:45). 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)

    Theme Music by Don Ham; additional audio from The English Football League
