Remember That Guy? – Details, episodes & analysis

As the Guy-bunal reconvenes for a new era, they first check in with some Memories being Made: some footy finals (2:40), Korean idols (8:03), and delayed international arrivals (13:49). Then following some brief Big Structural Changes (22:19), Xavier uses both hands to serve up a striking Guy (24:13).

With the first round of May Madness behind them, the Guy-bunal buckles down as they run through the remaining matchups that will help determine their arbitrary champion, starting this week with the Round of 32 (17:35), a mishmash of the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 (53:02), a devastatingly difficult Final Four (1:13:32), and then a 3rd Place Championship (1:20:01) and Final Matchup (1:23:16) to determine who amongst the Hall of Guy inductees is the true Guy of Guys,

It's time for another round of trivial Trivia with our 3rd installment of the gameshow about the show where we mine our memories for nuggets of nostalgia about peripheral players past and present: Who Wants to Be A Guy-llionaire?

This time, Hosts James and Diaz welcome not only Very Special Guest Xavier, but a slate of new contestants for the show in Richard-Francis-Burton-Reincarnate Brooks Rudy, returning Super Mega Guest Dante Lammendola, and Longtime Listener Now Third Time Caller Kevin McFall (15:52). The contestants this time will be put through the ringer with categories like Head to Head Hardware (18:43); College Championships (27:43); Taking A Charge (38:21); We're Going Streaking (45:09); and of course, 69 or 420 (1:02:58); before all culminating with the Final-Not-Copyright-Infringing-Jeopardy Round to determine who will be the Guy-llionaire this time!

As we wind down another season, the Guy-bunal's Veterans Committee convenes once again as Hosts James and Diaz welcome Very Special Guest Xavier onto the show for a sixth edition of Reliti-Guy-tion.

After some extended Memories being Made, the gang gets down to brass tacks with their new dirty half dozen: a Guy with a story that's just the ticket for induction (30:27); another who saw the landscape of their nascent sport and thought it needed something Moore (37:05); one who this time has better than a puncher's chance at induction (40:19); someone who proves that cheaters do in fact prosper a lot of the time (43:46); yet another oft injured Portland Trail Blazers big man (47:29); and finally, Bernie Madoff's biggest fan (52:04). And just like that, it's time to welcome this sextet into their new home here in the Hall of Guy. (58:56)

The show has been on a hot streak recently, so it's never been a better time for Hosts James and Diaz to bring back Very Special Guest Xavier to cool things off, as they discuss Guys With Historically Bad Streaks.

Diaz gets things started, and tries to score some points by talking about a Guy who did anything but (17:17); then it's Xavier's Guy who may lose a lot and doesn't really know how to take it on the chin (45:36); and then James tries to bring it home more successfully than their Guy could for quite some time (58:27). It's such a tough decision that the trio nearly turns to AI, but in the end they do land on an induction this week into the Hall of Guy. (1:23:36)

It's time to break out the grills and coolers because this week, Hosts James and Diaz welcome to the show Very Special Guest Xavier so that he can convene the Guy-bunal to discuss some Lawn Game Guys.

First, a call-in from Friend of the Show and Chief Despondent Correspondent Rego doling out some schadenfreude from Boston in spirit if not body (2:00). Then it's finally back to regular programming, with some Memories being Made (14:13) before the aforementioned Lawn Guys can be presented. Xavier starts with a Guy he figures is a shoe in (33:26); but James can counter with a Guy even cornier than that (44:44); not to mention Diaz's Guy, who would never wiff on an opportunity to make the Hall (1:05:44). But, as we know all too well by now, only one of these Guys will (1:28:47).

With one of the illustrious trio once again out of the country, Hosts James and Very Special Guest Xavier find themselves pleased to welcome back friend of the show and Local Baltimore Man Connor Newcomb from the Locked On Orioles podcast.

After James and Xavier take some time to introduce Connor and his ornithological expertise (15:11), he presents to the partial Guy-bunal a particularly choice make and model of Guy that they can safely say is one of the foremost Designated Hitting Coaches of our era (23:24). But will this tale of a Guy and his avian legacy be granted entry into the Hall? (47:18)

Be sure to check out Connor on the Locked On Orioles podcast, as well as on the show's Twitter and his own

This episode was not produced in conjunction with Shonda Rhimes, but you'd be forgiven for thinking so as Hosts James and Diaz welcome back Very Special Guest Xavier so they can all discuss Scandalous Guys.

Xavier begins this week's slate by trying to make a point about gambling that, hopefully, his Guy doesn't shave (15:02); then it's Diaz, who brings to the group an umpire known for some foul behavior (33:06); and finally James finishes up the marathon session with an unconventional marathon finish (57:40). But which of these three scandals will be inducted and cause the Hall to become vicariously embroiled in? (1:18:25)

In an attempt to class the place up a little bit, this week sees Hosts James and Diaz (along with Very Special Guest Xavier) welcoming the creator of ArtButMakeItSports, LJ Rader.

LJ has brought before the Guy-bunal this week a Guy who, among other achievements: played for nearly half of a professional sports league; joined the Traded-Twice-in-the-Same-Day fraternity; and threw, statistically, an much worse No-Hitter than when Doc Ellis tripping on acid. (10:33) It's a storied career and the Guy-bunal agrees it's a well told story (36:36), but is it a story worth storing in the Hall? (40:43)
