Remember That Guy?

Written 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? 120.3: For Your Consideration - Information Super-Guy-way
    Mar 3 2025

    There's no need to call in help from IT, because this week Hosts James and Diaz (along with Very Special Guest Xavier) are joined by the host of the tech podcast Better Offline: Ed Zitron!

    After hearing about how Ed became a tech critic and (more importantly for their purposes) a sports fan (18:05), he leads the Guy-bunal through the browser history of a terminally online former wide receiver (54:00), before a decision has to be made as to whether this Guy can catch on in the Hall. (1:22:48)

  • RTG? 120.2: For Your Consideration - Smor-Guy-sbord
    Feb 24 2025

    The Hall has an insatiable appetite for Guys, and this week Hosts James and Diaz as well as Very Special Guest Xavier know exactly who can help feed the beast: the mind behind the internet's Discontinued Foods, John Finn!

    After diving into some questions about John's discontinued delicacies (22:57), the Guy-bunal is ready to sample his flight of former fallow Orioles. He's got a spicy pick from the hot corner (37:07); a porcine one-time All-Star (41:54); and a raw prospect who unfortunately never got to cook (44:53). The Guy-bunal will need to chew on these selections for a moment (47:56); but after taking some time to mull it over, there's a clear selection for which career was on a Hall of Guy (gastrointestinal) tract. (1:00:36)

    You can find more from Discontinued Foods on his Bluesky or Twitter accounts!

  • RTG? 120.1: For Your Consideration - Guy-dearm Delivery
    Feb 17 2025

    A paper tiger may be a symbol of false strength, but a cardboard Guy's power is very real, and the Guy-bunal knows just the pair to discuss such figures - this week Hosts James and Diaz along with Very Special Guest Xavier are thrilled to welcome the hosts of the 1988 Topps Podcast, David McEllis and Matt Kuzma!

    Once everyone gets a chance to meet Dave and Matt (22:20), it's time to meet this week's pair of Guys coming from the bullpens of 1988: a Berry with a Royal, fruity flavor (34:04); and an Astro who's star shone briefly but brightly (53:18). They've gotten the call in the bullpen plenty of times, but which one will receive the call letting them know they've reached the Hall of Guy? (1:03:48)

    Once your done with this episode, make sure to check out hundreds more of the 1988 Topps Podcast!
