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 Diaz and James (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.

    So sit back, relax, and stop worrying about playoff positioning, draft order, or the dreaded salary cap. Take some time, instead, to Remember That Guy.

  • RTG? 090.2: Who Wants to Be a Guy-llionaire? Goes Global
    Apr 29 2024

    The only trivia show about the show where we mine our memories for nuggets of nostalgia about peripheral players past and present is back and this time the RTG? universe is stretching its arms across the globe to the incredibly diverse nations of the US, the UK, and Canada; as Who Wants to Be A Guy-llionaire? Goes Global!

    Our contestants today include Chief Weeb Correspondent and representative from Canada Gaijin Baseball a.k.a Evan; Chief British Baseball Correspondent and UK representative Leon Brooke; and Chief Journalism Correspondent representing the US of A Jake Adams.

    This installation features such internationally flavored categories as Soviet or No-viet (3:46); Real or Ruse: Rasslers (10:09); Olympic Olympiad (33:13); and the tried and true 69 or 420 (47:00). After the dust from today's final clears, who will remain standing for a chance to face reigning Guy-llionaire Brooks for the international title? (57:21)

    Theme Music by Don Ham; additional audio from Jeopardy!, The Price is Right, and Melo-M and the Symphonic Orchestra of Liepeja

  • RTG? 090.1: For Your Consideration - I'm A Guy Guy
    Apr 22 2024

    Hosts James and Diaz return to the table with fellow member of the Guy-bunal and Very Special Guest Xavier, and this time the three of them find themselves proud to welcome another guest to the show: New York Times bestselling author of Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America and Chief Instigator Correspondent Abraham Josephine Riesman.

    After giving Josie a chance to introduce herself to the RTG? faithful (1:30), our team follows along as she delves into the life of a wrestling Guy who's skill for survival (and bountiful backstabbings) would make Jeff Probst proud (29:01). This Guy has a propensity for persistence, but will he manage to persevere the criteria of the Guy-bunal and find a way into the Hall of Guy? (51:26)

    Be sure to check out more of Josie's work at her website, and find more about Ringmaster (and its brand new paperback copy!) at the book's website.

  • RTG? 090: Reliti-Guy-tion Episode IX: The Rise of Guy-walker
    Apr 15 2024

    "'The time has come,' the Walrus said, 'To talk of many things'". The time is this week, here at the tail end of season 9; and the things that Hosts James and Diaz will discuss along with Very Special Guest Xavier are the Guys ready to be reconsidered in yet another edition of Reliti-Guy-tion.

    Following a brief house call from oldest friend of the show Mr. Medicinal (1:42), the Guy-bunal runs through what's making memories for them (11:26) before getting to the Guys: a Belgian they'd waffled on previously (32:35); a Guy who's facial hair faced a tough challenge last time (37:50); a backup with a strong Morrall backbone (42:48); a Guy pronounced in the French style (44:48); a Newcastle legend far from St. James Park (46:22); and an old-man hooper who Milled about in the league for as long as he could (48:26). They all may have come up short in their first go-rounds, but with any luck, by the end of the episode these hallowed half dozen should also be denizens of the Hall of Guy. (54:23)

    Theme Music by Don Ham; additional audio from 20th Century Fox
