Steve Kelly, that's Lauren Smith, Brett Bakeda, and Adam Arrocho. It's Thursday, June 27th, 2024. That gets top five time, and I'm pretty sure you start, Shmini. Hey, at number five, have you guys in person seen these new Tesla cyber trucks? Yeah, there's one in Grand Rapids. They're terrifying looking to me. Imagine that driving into your home. Oh, no. Yeah, that's what's going to happen, allegedly, because this guy had the worst possible security footage caught of a Tesla cyber truck careening into his home. After the driver apparently lost control of the accelerator, it's weird. It's speeding up down a narrow valley slams into the wall as the owner apparently furiously tried to pump the brakes in Maine. Not sure if the back wheels were locked up, if there was anything wrong with the actual cyber truck itself, but this thing caused some serious damage. You should see the house. I'll try to find this and put it on our Instagram number. I'm probably not going to get one then, because I was thinking about sneaking out today and grabbing a couple of them right into the building. Number four in the list, traffic snarled for several hours in a California highway when a truck overturned and spilled a load of avocados on the road. CHP Redwood City Office said truck carrying eight tons of avocados. Holy guacamole. I'm just here all morning. It's spilled. It's loaded. Why do they call it a superfood? I'm just not a big fan. It was just over after 4 a.m. The crash involved two other vehicles. I'm not sure if any were Teslas. CHP said it took several hours to upright the truck and clear the avocados out of the roadway. Probably something that will not happen to you today. Steve Kelly, what were you doing at the age of 15? Oh boy. There was a lot of angst and confusion. Getting into some trouble maybe. Now I was kind of silent for about two years around this. Lauren, how about you? I was working on a learner's permit. Well, can you imagine teeing it up today in your first ever PGA tour tournament? That's what's going to happen with maybe the new lefty on the PGA tour. Of course, Phil Mickelson, the veteran, now on the live tour, Miles Russell. You're going to have to check him out today three to six live on the golf channel because it's the opening round of the Rocket Mortgage Class and get Detroit Country Club. And I'm looking forward to this. This kid has won everything at the junior level. He's 15 years old. He's won on the Corn Fairy Tour and now got an exemption to play this weekend. Obviously, if he can make the cut, but he's done everything in junior golf. And what's nice about this, he's coming to play the Detroit Golf Club for this event, but he's also scouting out for Oakland Hills because he will play in that big junior event that we talked about with the likes of some great golfers. He posted a picture yesterday of the clubhouse and the clubhouse on there says no admits under 16. And he's only 15. So they're saying this kid though, the new Tiger Woods. Wow. Watch out. At number two, a Washington DC artist is learning a science lesson today. She's been creating wax sculptures outside of elementary schools of famous presidents. And so she made one of Abraham Lincoln and the Washington DC heat has melted the wax sculpture. I was just going to say, what about the heat? Yep, the head started slowly tilting backwards and then yesterday it finally fell. Oh, it went back though. It didn't lean to the left or right because that would have been a political joke. So never mind. You just came with your A game today. I'm ready. Wow. What do you got? I felt like that though before, haven't you? When it's really hot, but you're just like a wax figure? Yes. Is that like shaking it like a Polaroid picture? I call it Madam to Soding. Oh, nice. Madam to Soding. Finally, at number one of the list, where are we? Maryland man's lost dog turned up two years later and ending up 1,000 miles away from home. Can you imagine Tony Duncan and his lost dog Luna vanished from her, this Mardella Springs home after chasing some wild animals in the nearby woods and failing to returns. Duncan said he never gave up hope that he would see Luna again, but shock to get a phone call from La Belle Animal Control in Florida. Is that by Del Boca Vista? Animal Control told Duncan a dog had been found wandering in a parking lot. They scanned the microchip. Luna is now home. Wow. And there it is. Today's top five. Thank you for your continued support.
