It's top five times, Shmini, where do we start? - At number five, I guess this is perfect timing for a new limited edition release. Nissan Foods has just announced they are dropping a limited edition S'mores Ramen. - Yeah, Ramen. - I kind of wondered what your reaction would be. - I love Ramen. - I know me too, but. - A dessert Ramen. - They call it a gooey, sweet noodle experience to satisfy your s'mores cravings. It comes with brown sugar, honey molasses and cocoa all mixed into these instant noodles. And the company says for an extra vibe, you can top it with graham cracker bits or mini marshmallows. - No thanks. I mean, I like all of that stuff, but not independently. - The noodles, I know. - Some salt bath with noodles. - A salt bath. - Oh yeah, that's it. Listen, if you ever want to try kidney stones and you don't, trust me, eat a bunch of that. Get back to me. Number four on the list, an outdoor market in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is asking for the public's help to choose a name for its new tent with finalists, including the pavilion, that makes a nice, and Tenty-McTentface, you knew that was coming. Broad Street Market solicited suggestions from the public between May 23rd and June 22nd. Now five finalists, Tenty-McTentface, tent to table, little Broad Street Market. They're just always layered in with something normal, the pavilion and the farmer's phoenix. She doesn't make any sense to me, you can vote for it. So when we get back to the kinder, kindle, what's the Christmas market down time? - Oh, the Christ Kindle Market, yes. - They've got little sheds down there, built by Mel Trotter, by the way. - Little Broad Street or something. - And next to, yeah, what do we call them? Get back to me on that. - And number three, this one's for former tennis great, Steve Kelly back in the day at Ludington High. We had a stunning Wimbledon upset, a defending champ going down in the first round for the first time in 30 years. You have to go back to Steffy Graph that this happened to in 1994, this is what it sounded like on center court yesterday. - Oh, come on. - Gosh, they were stunned. - I know. Crowd was just stunned. - Thank you, frozen audio, we appreciate that. And by the way, 21-year-old Jessica Busas-Monaro pulls off the upset. As she gets it done over singles champ from last year, Marchetta Vondresova. And 21 years old, it was her first match that she had won on grass. In a major like that, on center court. - She was high. - And she did it in 66 minutes, 6-4, 6-2. - Wow, yeah. What was your congratulations to her? - Was that a hyphen Busas? Jessica Busas-Monaro. - That's fun to say. - Yeah. - At number two, I don't know how responsible you guys were at 14, but I certainly wasn't responsible enough to have a driver's license. Well, Iowa thinks differently. Kids in Iowa can now get a full driver's license at the age of 14 and a half, as long as they're just driving to school, work, or an approved list of locations that their parents work out with their version of Secretary of State. - I mean, I guess if it was work on the farm-- - I was just gonna say it's Iowa. And I think in Michigan, if you've got a farmer's driver's license, you're 14. - That's a thing here? - Yeah. - Oh, you never been to the UP, have you? - No, I haven't, no, no. - Yeah, there's like five-year-olds up there. - By the way, if they can trucks to work. - If you all missed it yesterday, we talked to a guy from Pure Michigan yesterday by a cell phone from the UP. And I think, I don't know how many times that's actually happened, but it was in real time too. It's not like it was recorded and edited because the signal was bad. It actually worked. - It must have really wound that phone up fast, you know? - That or I was gonna ask him what carrier are you on? - Yeah. - Oh, what a commercial that would be. - Exactly. - Actually works on the UP, even from the UP. Primary election in Oregon at number one resolved with a coin flip under state law, but the winner of the flip was ineligible to run. The 8th district in Eugene, which skews heavily Democratic, had no Republicans in the primary ballot last week, so the vote came down to write-in votes. The top two candidates were Democratic nominee Lisa Frigala and her former rival, fellow Democrat, Doyle Canning. Each of them received seven votes, but once they got to the coin flip, the person that won because of their sore loser laws was bar from winning because she'd already lost. So I guess they keep flipping the coin until it lands in the middle and balances, I don't really know how it ends. I just wanted to let you know that coin flips really do happen there too.
