I just posted it to our Facebook. Steve Kelly, that's Lauren Smith, Brett, Kita, Adam, or Rocho. The most insulated here may be the only voice you hear in a little bit. Again, we're not worried about that severe weather. It's just good sized thunderstorms are rolling through and they're rolling through right now for most of West Michigan. Just as a reminder, as I did to Steven Spidey and they went out and got those great photos, it is metal. You're around. So please be careful. Yeah. Let's get to today's top five. Lauren, where do we start? Hey at number five seems pretty perfect with Snoop Dogg once again on board as a guest commentator for NBC at this year's Summer Olympics in Perry and over the weekend, he decided to give it a go himself rocking American flag themed pants. The dog father laced up some Nike kicks and ran the 200 meter, did it in 34.44 seconds, which as Snoop said, 34.44 for a 52 year old, a baby, just for reference, the 2020 Olympic gold medalist did it in 19.62 seconds. Well, still, still 52 in Snoop, the life he's lived, get a great stride. I mean, you don't think of anything fast when you think of Snoop, right? No. I would like to just see the video. If you think of a con trail, but that's just me at number four in the list, a mysterious object that streaked across the Las Vegas area sky leaving a tadpole shaped smoke trail in its wake was not Snoop Dogg either. It was identified as SpaceX. I love it when they have these stories, people freak all out and they're like, oh, yeah. Well, that's NASA. This time, it was SpaceX and everything is OK. But do you believe it? That's the thing. Hang on, you can't. You got to do that if you're going to say, but do you believe it? Where's the guy with the, you know, rain jacket? Yeah, he's smiling too, right? Exactly. Those were cigarettes. Then you know, it's probably not true. Another championship last night besides the one that was on the ice and the Stanley Cup being awarded to the Florida Panthers for the first time in their franchise history. Well, it was the first time for this two last night in Omaha, Nebraska. Swang it on this and for the first time, Rocky top reaches the mountaintop of college baseball. They are the World Series champions. Very cool for the University of Tennessee Vals baseball team. So many good teams, so many good players, but everyone was in attendance to see this one was a game three decider and they pull it off six to five over Texas A&M with Peyton Manning fitting right in Omaha to watch it all number two on the list. The longest active losing streak in professional sports is now over the Detroit mechanics professional ultimate Frisbee team snapped an 81 game losing streak this weekend. Wait a minute. What's the name of that team again Detroit mechanics? OK. They're actually is a professional ultimate Frisbee League. It's called the Ultimate Frisbee Association. They had not won a game since 2017. Well, you know why right poor mechanics and that's different than Frisbee golf. What is ultimate Frisbee? It's like I played on Western's ultimate Frisbee team. It's like a combo between soccer football, but you play with a Frisbee didn't even know they had a losing streak or was well, they don't have any fans that many even your like loved ones don't show off spectator an ultimate Frisbee game finally at number one on the list speaking of drinking games a trio of Michigan friends having a backyard bonfire ended up rescuing a raccoon choking on a piece of cheese Bill Boske Tyler Whalen and John Patcinchkin ski one of those were hanging on fire in Boske's Burton backyard when they made friends with a local raccoon. That's when they noticed it was choking we have some audio interlaced with some anchor talk here a little bit lower bill rocket didn't attack he welcomed the help to get the two large cheese out of his throat and sure enough the cheese came out and he sashied off yeah any time you scream and let's go after you whack some cheese out of a raccoon stroke drinking might be a fact exact just saying I'm amazed they were able to help they were there everybody is fine and the raccoon lives again that's today's top five
