Remember That Guy?

As the turn of the century philosophers The Beastie Boys once said, "You gotta fight for your right to earn fair compensation for your efforts as a laborer in the field of professional and amateur sports". We personally couldn't agree more, and so this week Hosts James and Diaz bring in Very Special Guest Xavier as the three of them discuss Guys Involved In Athletic Labor Fights.

Xavier takes some of his knowledge about soccer transactions and transfers it to us and you (20:25); then James brings in a baseball player who opened the Flood gates for his fellow athletes (38:20); and Diaz brings it home with a eulogy for a beloved EA franchise (1:03:01). All three of these Guys have earned a place in history, but which of them will earn a place in our hallowed Hall? (1:26:06)

Happy New Year! Never a better time to think about potential than when the calendar turns anew. We know there's so much potential in all of you, so we sure do hope you won't leave early this time as Hosts James and Diaz welcome back their Very Special Guest Xavier, as the crew gets ready to discuss Guys Who Left More On The Table For A Higher Calling.

Leading the way this week is Diaz, grabbing the Bison by the horns (14:53); Xavier talks about a Guy who has such a way with words as to not leave a Dry eye in the house (41:50); and James takes us out with a football player who decided he'd rather enter the matrix (1:01:49). But which one of these Guys who had an early exit will be given a chance to enter the Hall of Guy? (1:25:12)

Time to buckle up folks, as it's time to endure another episode. No, wait, I misspoke: this week Hosts James and Diaz have brought on Very Special Guest Xavier to do an episode about enduring, as they discuss Endurance Sports Guys.

James begins our long slog as they discuss a Guy who had that dawg directly in front of him at all times (13:16); Diaz takes a brave stance in saying that just about everything is better than the Holocaust (41:42); and then it's time for Xavier, who thankfully doesn't need 24 hours to discuss a race that separates the Guys from the Mans (1:06:07). Will our listeners finally hear a presenter threepeat, or will someone else successfully argue for the induction of their Guy? (1:24:50) Tune in to find out!

It's a sensitive snowstorm as we, a bunch of liberal snowflakes, let you know that we are attaching some content warnings this week, as Hosts James and Diaz reconnect with Very Special Guest Xavier so that the trio can discuss some Incredible Injury Guys.

James is up first this week and they are bloody excited to be talking about a Sabre who had a notable run in with a blade (21:53); followed by Diaz, who takes a different angle as we discuss the legacy of a notable midship-Guy whose leg also took a different angle (44:35); and then Xavier tries to wash that all out of our mouths with a lighter injury that still is definitely a whammy (1:05:43). But in addition to these aforementioned injuries, which Guy will avoid suffering a broken heart by nabbing induction into the Hall? (1:19:53)

Content warning timestamps: Gore (31:27-34:24), Gore and Suicide (40:20-41:48), and Gore (59:42-1:01:31)

Hosts James and Diaz are back in the saddle this week with Very Special Guest Xavier, and they're going to take a ride on some coattails as they get ready to talk about Guys With A Front Seat To Greatness.

Xavier begins by talking about what else but the World Cup (20:01); Diaz uses his corner to pander to James by talking about a STOCKy defender (38:43); but James is far too coxy, and can't be steered away from their own choice (1:05:18). But the question is, can they coax and convince the others of the greatness of their Guy, or will someone else find their way into the Hall this week? (1:26:36)

It's the long-awaited crossover between the Yankees' 27 rings and Katherine Heigl's 27 Dresses, as Hosts James and Diaz call up Very Special Guest Xavier so that the trio can kick off a new season with Guys Who Were The Bridesmaids But Never The Bride.

Diaz leads things off this time with the least offensive Republican politician we've ever discussed (15:06); James discusses the only shared point in the Jamaica, Slovenia, and University of Nebraska Venn diagram (38:49); and then Xavier talks about a hooper who maybe didn't make it rain, but still knew a thing or two about Snow (1:01:05). Time to find which one makes the cut this time, and which ones remain at the sides of the altar (1:18:59).

Hosts James and Diaz consulted with Very Special Guest Xavier to determine exactly how long to wait after detailing the many failings of FIFA ahead of the 2022 World Cup before they could put that behind themselves and discuss the sport. Turns out, the answer is just about one week! So, in the interest of helping people like James's "friend" who don't typically follow the Beautiful Game, the team looks through a number of storylines to follow entering the world cup (17:14); their expectations for the group stages, which are already happening as you listen (32:34); their picks for the ultimate winners of both the Cup itself (42:24) and the even more highly coveted Guy d'Or award (49:54). Happy Turkey Day RTG nation!

As we continue our seasonal interludes with another round of For Your Consideration; the Remember That Guy? Team is proud to bring to the table for the first time our E-Sports Correspondent, Rob, to let us know about all the hot news that's fit to print in the world of competitive videogames.

After Hosts James and Diaz, along with Very Special Guest Xavier and Rob, take some time to talk about who's making memories for them right now, Rob gets right into an epic tale about a Legendary League and a player with particularly Deft skills (25:35). After he weaves this web, it'll be up to the Guy-bunal to make their decision as to whether the Hall of Guy has room for gamers, and if they're ready for the meta to change (1:16:52).

Hosts James and Diaz called up Very Special Guest Xavier this week, but then decided that wasn't enough! And so for the second straight week, we welcome an additional RTG Special and Spousal Guest, Jesse Lentzwiler.

After the crew talks about the many mostly miserable Memories being Made, Jesse leads them down a figure skating rabbit hole as a trailblazing Latino tries to bring some spice to the ice (28:24). But will her plea for induction into the Hall hold up to cross examination by the Guy-bunal (1:05:08), or is James sleeping on the couch tonight?
