Remember That Guy?

The Hall's Veterans Committee convenes once more. In their first round of reminiscent reconsiderations, James expresses a preference for older men, Xavier likes Buffalo wings, and Diaz makes a foul choice (18:03). Then, round two finds James short on time, Xavier in bloom, and Diaz hungry for donuts (30:14). And after that, induction isn't just the stage of the working cycle of an internal combustion engine in which the fuel mixture is drawn into the cylinders (46:42).

100 points. 56 games. 17-0. Some records are indelible enough that they need no further introduction. But the Remember That Guy isn't concerned with those. No, this week Hosts James and Diaz bring in Very Special Guest Xavier so that they can discuss some Guys On Lesser Known Pages of The History Books.

Diaz has a red hot start just like his Guy known for blocking shots as well as taking some of their own (12:33); Xavier takes that red hot start and then really gets the rubber hitting the road (36:50); and though they may be last, James still manages to get things cooking with their gastronomic entry (1:03:58). Then we celebrate an inductee of our Hall of Guy, as well as a future inductee of some of other halls (1:29:51).

Did you know that the poisoned beverage at Jonestown wasn't Kool-Aid, but actually Grape Flavor Aid? Well, Host Diaz has his co-Host James and Very Special Guest Xavier drinking all the Philly Phlavor Aid that they can guzzle right now, as we ride his Sixers-high and take a week to discuss Philly Guys.

After taking stock of today's memories, James starts by whisking us back to 2013, when they first found a seat for themself on that beautiful bandwagon (21:06). Diaz follows that up with a coach deeply woven into the fabric of the school formerly known as Philadelphia Textile (42:32); and then Xavier brings the crew home with a guy who Combined the history of Philly and some of their greatest rivals (1:07:11). Spoiler: today's induction discussion is brief as hell (1:33:44).

HBC Who? HBCU! Hosts James and Diaz have reconvened and brought in some help for this one: Very Special Guest Xavier is back so the trio can discuss their next topic: All-Time HBCU Guys.

Xavier gets our engines started with the hottest bat in college baseball history, and 2009 hottest player according to Cosmo (10:45); James continues by talking about a Big House that helped build a school (and arena, and Hall of Fame) (31:37); and Diaz brings us a calm and collected coach who nonetheless came out of his Shell (1:00:48). With three such deserving candidates, only time will tell how long deliberation will ta- oh, that was fast (1:19:53).

Just as the plains nations used every part of the bison, we are committed to wringing as much content as we can from the Winter Olympics. So, join Hosts James and Diaz once again, as we welcome Very Special Guest Xavier to discuss an often contentious matter in international competition: Guys Representing Multiple Countries.

Diaz gets back in the saddle first, with a rare story of a blonde Argentinian without any German background (16:40); Xavier follows it up with a story of how we all just want to be wanted (38:34); and finally, after a quick pit stop to clown on the Lakers (1:01:50), James brings up the rear with the next chapter in the epic saga of the Mexican Ski Federation (1:04:59). But who will emerge as the ultimate Guy without a country? (1:20:51)

Wow! What a game last night that we all definitely have already seen at the time of this recording! So crazy, in fact, that Host Diaz managed to go on a bender/bacchanal/walkabout so intense that he ended up somewhere in New Orleans. While the authorities help us track him down, Host James is joined by Very Special Guest Xavier as they ̶k̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ make a Big Game Bonus Episode all about not the thrill of victory, but rather Guys With Agonizing Postseason Defeats.

Xavier first asks the crowd if they believe in Magic in a young franchise's heart (2:52), before James goes through some on-air therapy about the 2011 AFC Championship Game (21:31). But are either of these fellows, famous for falling short, fit to find themselves in our Hall? (46:24)

If talking about the Winter Olympics got our hosts thinking about any one thing, it was technicalities. And so this week, Hosts James and Diaz welcome back Very Special Guest Xavier to talk about some of their favorite instances of stupid rules and the Guys that flaunt them. In the immortal words of Bill Veeck, "[we] try not to break the rules, but merely to test their elasticity".

James gets us going with their favorite short baseball player's short lived career (17:08); Xavier can't help but offer some appe-guy-sers (43:35) before proceeding to his main course (53:30); and Diaz gives us yet another reason to never sign anything before reading it closely (1:07:42). Then all that's left is our deliberation and some parting shots at the Pro Bowl (1:24:29).

I scream, you scream, we all scream for the Winter Olympics. Hosts James and Diaz give anything but a frosty welcome to this week's Very Special Guest, Xavier, as we find some of our favorite fools from those cold weather games.

Xavier breaks the ice with a child prodigy with an eye for technicalities (18:36); Diaz somehow, despite all odds, finds a way to still make his entrant related to the Philadelphia Eagles (35:35); and James lifts the scales from our eyes that were placed there by Big Inspirational Disney Sports Movie (51:30). Then, after Xavier interjects with just a few hidden gems we couldn't fit in otherwise (1:17:52), some spirited debate over the very nature of our institution occurs as we select this week's inductee into the Hall of Guy (1:21:49).

Has this show been too positive for you up until this point? Have we been too precious and treacly with beloved athletes and their philanthropic efforts? Well guess what, that won't be a problem this week, as Hosts James and Diaz welcome Very Special Guest Xavier back into the studio to discuss some of their favorite Villainous Guys.

James leads off this week, and makes sure not to throw away their Schott (14:08); Xavier brings in a pint-sized pugilist with a history of poultry based brutality (41:42); and Diaz posits that if you can dodge a machete, you can dodge a punch (1:04:47). But will any of these scoundrels make it into the Hall of Guy? Who knows where that answer could possibly be found (1:24:42).

It's a barnburner this week, folks, as Hosts James and Diaz this time host a Very Special Guest: Xavier! And this week, it's time to discuss some Guys That Were here For A Long Time, Not A Good Time.

Diaz gets things started with the spiritual (and melanin deficient) reincarnation of Satchel Paige (16:55); followed by Xavier's deep dive on a truly Mannelly man (42:56); before James brings us home by talking about someone who changes homes again and again and again... and again then seven more times (1:00:10). Then, it's time for deliberation, before we welcome a new sport into the hallowed Hall of Guy (1:23:39).
