Nick and JP back live here in the West Lake Dave and Busters and I have to announce on air with great shame to my family to this lineup. And to my hometown of Wattsworth Peninsula I've lived everywhere guys. I we traveled a lot as a kid. Yeah, but Jonathan Peter Lynn not just beat me pop a shot number wise. He smoked me. He had 47 shots or 47 points. I had 37. I stink at this and the college boulder beat my booty when it came to pop a shot. I bow down to you, sir. Why do you have to say college boulder like that? I think I think you know why I had to say like that. I like Phelps' interpretation of all this much better by the way.
I mean, where he glides to you for other ways. I mean, we have one one guy that went to college on an athletic scholarship in the entire lineup. And that's it's not it's not Nick. It's not Ken. It's not Anthony. It's not Baskin. It's not Phelps. It is in fact me like when I when I work with Dustin, it was always about like, well, you played in college. I was wanted to do that in case people forgot. When you were in the NFL, do I just do I do I just skip the bowling part and just go? No, yeah, yeah. John, then when you were a college athlete, I think you yeah, well, it would make me sound better for sure. But I do think you just yeah, skip over it. I'm not saying that. But I'm not you know, I'm I'm glazing over the bowling part and I'm glazing up the college athletics part. Listen, I left I left dead free out of college guys. That's a you guys you guys would have done it too. I would have tell Phelps all about Linden Woods two national titles 2005, 2014. When he shows up later, he'll be really excited to know that. Hmm. Now we also we have a fun time. So for the round table later, we we we kind of got some of like what's going to be asked of us. Yeah, I'm having a hard time with some of these questions.
They're like softball questions, but I'm having a real hard time. Yeah, like I don't know what it is about the the question here. What is your favorite memory from 15 years of the fan? My favorite memory is one that I didn't experience firsthand and I'm pretty sure Keith will be furious with me if I talk about it on air. And I was in the room. I was I was there firsthand for that one. And we definitely not talk about that. Yeah, no, Keith is the one that saved everything. I said I was an innocent bystander. I just sat there. I did not I didn't do anything. Well, and I wasn't and I wasn't going to do anything by the way. I was I was firmly planted. I'm going to say update chair not moving at all. I think the only thing that I regret is I think it would have been funny if Keith and I had gotten involved in the scenario. Keith got involved in it as the the producer of the show. It broke it up. It just would have been funny if that if if the unit over there, Mr. Smedium and one high, sorry, 1% high, 1% weight with a guy's a broke anything that may or may not have happened up. I mean, I didn't happen. You know, I tend to think I was part of the reason why the whole thing started.
But we get to that story maybe later on. But literally, I have like I have like memory block because all I can think about is a memory that I don't have. I've had a memory of a story that's been told to me for years now. Well, so do people want I imagine people want stories like that. But the reality is is that our favorite stories from the fan come from like when I was on the air when Kevin Saphansky was announced the head coach of the Browns. Yeah, you know, that might be the one I end up telling. I'm not sure but nothing really interesting. That's out of that happen outside of the reaction from the fans and how funny that reaction was, I guess, but is that a good enough story to tell? All right. I think they want the inside dirt. Do they not? I think they want the inside dirt, but I don't think Keith wants us to give the inside dirt. Well, not that is I dirt, but like for grit. Oh, no, Keith gave a thumbs up. Maybe he does. All Pierre, maybe this is exactly what he wants. Now, who gets it? Tell it. I was the only one that was actually there. Oh, no, you get to tell that one. Yeah. Okay. Good. All right. Now, I get to say the time that I almost fought somebody off air at the station. Who convinced? Come on. Sorry, convincingly. I don't know where it's going with that word. Who coincidentally was involved in the story you're talking about.
Good. As long as I get to say that we just get a whole topic tree just to that guy. I'm going to say names. I'm saying names. I'm doing all of it. Now, you better show up because this is the one time only. We're going to maybe tell a story or two that doesn't. Hey, be cool and don't post it on the internet later. Okay. Yeah, people, you know, I just be cool. It's the honor system. Just be cool. Just be cool, guys. All right. And we know we can trust y'all. Yeah, just be cool, you know, and plus well denied denied deny. Oh, yeah, never said it. You can have the video and I'll just like it's clearly AI. I'm not that fat guys. Yeah, yeah. Or maybe I'm fatter. Maybe maybe that'd be the more realistic play there. Do they post your video pop a shot? Yeah, they sure did. I went for a lot of backboard, honestly. Yeah, you were just. I was just trying to go. I was just trying to go volume shoot. And I feel like I was shooting too quickly. And there was only four basketballs. So I just wasn't able to constantly reload in a way that would have made my defeat to you less humiliating. And the answer to Roberto Shenanigan's on you goes, JP is a lefty because I shoot with my left hand.
I do, I switch it up. Some things are right handed. Some things are left handed. I bowled right handed. I played baseball right handed. I shoot pool left handed. I shoot basketball is left handed. I I switch it up. I'm glad that you kept it open-minded. Because when you say I do everything one handed. I think we know where we're going with that. Now this being said that one I do like that. I do basketball and shoot pool. Yeah, okay. Just a brutal loss for the Guardian. That game stunk. And I listen, I never thought that much of Joey Cantelo in the first place. So the fact that his pitches has become not very hard and not very straight does not surprise me. I would like to put Tanner Bible on a milk carton. Well, so no, back to back days. And this is what this is. This just showcases the weakness in the starting lineup in a high level. It's back to back days. We have two pitches you're not particularly fond of. And we're saying go out and win games and they're not able to win these games. Yeah, but Tanner Bible should be able to win this game. No, it should be. Like I think that's the like Joey Cantelo had no business winning last night's game.
He didn't have any business giving up nine runs last night. Joey's had a better season than Bobby this year. Oh, he has 100%. But what was it? I think it was nine or 10 badgers. Joey's also getting into a high mark in innings in his MLB career. Like there's certainly make excuses for Joey that you can't with 10. Yeah, exactly right. But even either way, like the, and I get it, I know if he wants to take this team extremely seriously. And we are taking them seriously. It's going to be like pivotal 20 more games before the end of the season. But you win nine or eight out of nine. Excuse me. I'm just facing the weakest three teams you possibly could. And then he lose two out of three to Kansas City. Now you lose two out of three to Toronto. And the good time Charlie is kind of exhausted itself. Yeah, but the problem is they're still because the Baltimore lost last night. You're still in a wild card spot. So we're in a spot where they're not playing good baseball. But they're still in the cat bird seat. And for the playoff spot. So like I can't really get hyped when you play. What was it? Today one error from now yesterday that was obviously the kind of fate.
One of the fatal flaws in yesterday's game. So there's self-inflicted young players doing what young players do injury. Self-inflicted injuries. But also there's still probably going to be a playoff team. So in some weird no man's land that it's like, well, that afternoon of baseball sucked. And also we had Lenny and her husband here. That game took forever. It game started at one o'clock. It's almost five o'clock and it just wrapped up in the last 20 minutes. So long baseball game. Like that's ridiculous. So long baseball game. In this heat in this economy, what are we doing? But now they've lost four out of their last six. And it's just such a completely different tune than what people were talking about with this team. I don't know, 15 hours ago. Like not like not a long time ago where we just talking about how good this team was starting to look. And now they were turning things around. And they and by the way, it's still probably true. It's probably true. When you get down, I can't remember. It was five to one or six to one. I think it was five to one. You did claw back a couple runs. Last night was just an absolute. That was Jumauk show. You got on no chance.
You got out scored 17 to three in the previous two games. Okay, when you put a big picture, yesterday's carrying a lot of the weight here. But I don't think it's as bleak as it feels right now. It's just every time you think they're over the hump and you can trust them to do something. Just not hurt themselves. You give them scissors and all of a sudden you're going to the ER looking for stitches. That's the right way to put that. That's exactly how I feel about this guardians team. I can't trust them with sharp objects right now. Not that they're all children, but they basically I have to treat them like children. And ironically with Tanner Bible, we should get sharp objects around his hair because that is just not working out. Yeah, it's not good. Maybe that's it. Can you just have such a bad, again, I have no style. So who the hell the dog is? I don't think the hair is the problem, but I'll explore it with you. I just feel like maybe it's like Lenny Kravitz in the mid 90s. I was like, I had to cut the dreads off. I felt the weight of the dreads. And then all of a sudden he's got the American woman cover and Lenny Kravitz is big again. He said he felt like that was pivotal. Maybe that's what Tanner Bible is here.
I thought Kravitz was made by the dreads. He was and then he was unmade by the dreads. You remember the American woman figure? I thought part of his start-up was the dreads. Like part of that was like a... I think part of his start-up was the fact that he rocked. I mean it was like Anthony Davis having the unibrow. Wasn't it like one and the same? Wasn't you thought Kravitz for the longest time? You thought of the dreads. Yeah, I think people thought that was his superpower and then realized that the entire shreds in the guitar and the guitar. It's him. It just has goofy mop hair. Man, the man ran into Nicole Kidman in his prime. I will not have Lenny Kravitz. No, it's not about the hair. People get news about the hair wrong about Lenny Kravitz. I don't know why I said it that way. I said it like a drunk. The lead in five minutes on 92-3, the fan.
