D.J. U.A. Ungolaleh, in a graphic, by the way, so you know this is real. This is official. You can't make that up. No, you can't. He said, I was honored to be invited by the conference to represent Florida State at this year's ACC kickoff. The experience of attending that event in 21-22 is among the highlights of my time in college.

And I appreciate being viewed as one of the conference's top players heading into the season. However, I feel strongly that Florida State should be represented by players who were part of last year's ACC championship team. The players who helped put this program back on top of the ACC should have the opportunity to be recognized for their contributions. This team is more than its quarterback. We're excited for my teammates who will experience this fantastic event. I'll tell you what, I want a lot of respect for DJ Leungole right there.

Not that I had any disrespect for him or there's anything not to like about him, but from a personality standpoint, specifically a quarterback,

Whoa. Yes. To turn down an opportunity to, especially with NIL and everything happening, to put yourself in front of a lot of cameras and a lot of microphones and put yourself on a platform to give that up for one of your teammates, essentially because you had not been a member of that university's football program and put that uniform on. I don't know about you, Greg, but I gained a lot more respect for DJU when I saw that yesterday. Yeah, he's really...

He's a really good kid, man. I don't know how else to describe him. He's a kid that I've enjoyed getting to know over the last handful of years. And I look forward to seeing what he does this year. I think he's got a chance to have a nice season. And having perspective like this, I think can aid in that. Now, let's not get it twisted. Saying...

Things like this at media days isn't going to lead to you throwing accurate passes 40 yards downfield. I understand that they're not connected, but it just goes to show you he's mature. He's a very mature young man that in the event in which things start to go a little sideways, he'll be fine. He'll be he's weathered the storm. He's experienced all aspects of success and failure in college football. And I think he'll be just fine.

Pretty cool to see, though, that he shows that maturity and is able to throw that off to one of his teammates for them to benefit from it there at ACC Media Days.

Something caught my attention this morning. I was kind of flipping around channels in the office getting ready for the show, and

And there was a preview or a countdown or a rundown or a let's get ready for a show on the Olympics. Yes. And it kind of caught me off guard because this is something that we have not even mentioned. The Olympics. Correct. Yeah. I think I did mention something about we went to lunch over the weekend. The Olympics are coming. Right. My wife was interested in the diving portion and she kind of got stuck to it for a little while. But.

I don't feel like there's a lot of buzz for any particular athletes. I don't feel like that there is the one or two events, outside of just people enjoying that event for what it is in general, that people are hyping up or wanting to talk about. I feel like we used to really get excited for the Olympics. I feel like there were multiple events, multiple athletes that we used to really get pumped up to see. And not that I'm saying people don't want our country to do well. I feel like we'll all be rooting for Americans either way, no matter what. But...

Even the Dan and Dave situation that kind of went south that didn't happen. Michael Johnson competing in multiple events. Whether it was a gymnast that we were excited to see. The men's basketball team was something that we all clamored over for a long period of time. Swimming with Michael Phelps or going up against the Torpedo, Ian Thorpe or other guys. The Torpedo? I guess that's the one. Yeah, you loved him. That was right there.

Are you referencing his uniform? That was his nickname, Ian Torpedo. You don't remember this? No, I'm not a big nickname guy. Old CeCe's not a nickname guy. Who knew? Yeah. Old Cube Kicks. Old Cube Dog. So... Big Cole. Where has the fascination for the Olympics gone? Or let me just ask this. Are you excited for the Olympics? No. Yes, but not now. Like I will be in like two weeks. Like not right this second? Right, yeah.

But it's weird because, yeah, there's not only a countdown. There's a good bit of advertising, promotion, letting you know that the Olympics are coming. Do you know when it starts? Yes, Friday the 26th. Wow, you're right. Because I got roped into doing something and going to attending a watch party. For the opening ceremony? Yeah.

Which may be the most overrated thing in all sports. Things you do when you're not worried about children's bedtimes. Like, I look forward to having an opening ceremony party someday. When? Actually, it may not be that bad because... 2038. France is a good bit away, so maybe at like 3, 4 in the afternoon. You're going to be lit up by 630. Here's what I need from the opening ceremony. City lights make sense. It's about in line with the NBA draft.

Tell me who's first off the board and then I'll figure the rest out later. Let me see how the torch is lit and I'll figure the rest out later. I don't need to see if Ralph Lauren or Gucci or Prada or Buckle are making the uniforms for all the different countries' teams. I do not care. I don't care what they look like. I don't care about the uniforms. I don't care if there's two people or 152 people coming out with each country. Why do

we watch these people walk around this is the most overrated thing literally called the parade of nations yes right i don't i don't need it though is what i'm telling you like and the fact that you're going to get together with other people to watch that is hilarious to me now if we're talking about events we can get to that but i just feel like the opening ceremonies are overrated it is the most it's the only thing worse in sports and it's technically not a sport than the olympic opening ceremonies is the pre-race coverage for the kentucky derby

which is the epitome of stupidity is what it is. Oh, boy. Because it's literally looking at people in dumb hats and watching them stand in front of stood-up backgrounds to take photographs for people and horses walking in a circle outside the venue where they're going to go in and race. You would not have done well. Don't need any of it. We got haters. I don't need a single minute of it. You would not have done well at moment times. Haters everywhere we go. Sorry. I don't need it. I'm here for the actual stuff, the event. I want the event.

You guys can have all your tapas and appetizers and all the other crap. I want the full course meal. All right? I want the events. I want the athletes competing. I want to see real things happening. If y'all care about how people dress and what their gait looks like when they walk into the track that they're going to be running around later, good for you. I don't need that. No pageantry for you. Not a single moment of it. Pageant list Joe Jackson. I don't need all your stupid hats at the Kentucky Derby and –

The ones that you had to pin sideways to your head so it doesn't fall off. I don't care how many pastel suits you can wear in at one time. I don't care about it. I don't need it. But what if you're breaded? Good for you. I got a feeling if you're breaded like that, you don't need Cole Kubrick to know that by wearing a pink suit on NBC. Just saying. But what if you're about that life? The PJ you flew in on probably tells that story. And where you're sitting for said event. Not out in the mud with the normal people in the infield.

Just saying. That's why the party's out, though. I used to love the Olympics. I used to stay up and watch. I used to get excited for certain events. You say you're excited for the opening ceremonies. I don't even know how we have a conversation about that. But is anybody else excited for any other portion of it? I'm looking forward to watching Suni Lee, obviously, because she's a former Auburn gymnast. Take a break. No, I won't. Nobody cares. I do care. I care about Suni Lee. There we go.

That portion of the gymnastics team can't. Simone Biles, I think, made it. Yeah. Cool. We'll watch her compete, too. She's good. I think she's good at that stuff. Yeah. But, I mean, I don't. What else are we excited about is the question. Track. 100 meters. Really? 100 meter race. Who are we? Who's the. There's a couple Jamaicans. Sha'Carri Robinson. Noah Lyles. Noah Lyles. Sha'Carri. What about Sha'Carri? Richardson. Richardson. I'll be excited to watch her. I'll watch the 100. Probably the 200. But you watch that every year.

You could watch that. If they put sumo wrestlers in that, you'd watch it. You would. I wouldn't. Yeah, you would. Because it's a 100-meter dash. Especially if they can come close to Usain Bolt's record. I would definitely watch if they put sumo wrestlers in it. Because it wouldn't fit in the lane. Someone like Aaron Donald running down? Oh, yeah. That'd be awesome. Aaron Donald would probably rip. Yeah, he'd be different. Rather watch the real 100 or sumo wrestlers 100? The real 100. The real 100.

There are numbers that we probably won't. I guess as long as sumos aren't wearing their normal uniform, they're wearing like a track uniform. It would make it more entertaining. Yeah, but I don't know if I want that. I don't think I got enough material. Being less aerodynamic may help that race, actually. I don't know. What else are we looking forward to, though? Here's the thing about the Olympics. And I don't have, like, this is not some rooted theory, in fact. Like, I don't know. This is just a theory. It's not science. No, it's science. It's theory. I think we are less patriotic as a country than we once were. Oh, boy. Yeah.

I do. I think we are less patriotic. We are. I think that's the reality. I think that the I think we are so everything is so bipartisan and everything. Excuse me. Everything is so partisan that it's like it's overwhelming. You know what I mean? And I do think politics have infiltrated the Olympics to a certain extent, whether you like it or not. I think it has. Yeah.

I don't think there's like the animosity that there once was in the 80s when the Soviets would come over. They'd talk about potentially protesting and potentially actually not even participating in the Olympics. I think there was a time when the Olympics were massive. I think it's a little like FIFA. There's a little bit of people that are like, I don't know, maybe it's a little bit corrupt and it's kind of uncomfortable. Plus, who's the heroes that we have? Like when...

Usain Bolt was an Olympic hero. You know what I mean? He was the people that I have to watch Usain Bolt. Michael Phelps, an Olympic hero. Don't get me wrong. I have an interest in Katie Ledecky. I do, to an extent. But I don't even know what she specializes in. You know what I mean? Dominance.

Yeah, she's great. But I knew Michael Phelps, he was going to dominate the butterfly. He dominated it all, but he really dominated the butterfly. So I guess I just don't know, who are the people that we are gravitating towards? And has it become a little bit more specialized, too? In the Olympics, you had Michael Phelps that could do it all, and now you have sprinters. You have longer...

I guess like 400 – I don't even know the terms for swimming because I don't swim. 400-meter experts, backstroke experts, breaststroke experts. Like I don't know. No, it is the specialization of sports. There's just more individuals. Yeah, it's highlighted through the Olympics in that we do this one event, and that is literally all we do. And can't even do very similar events. It might be a little bit longer or shorter. How much do you think that the –

I don't know another way to say this, but I guess that amateurism is essentially dead in our country. Sports have to do with this as well. I wonder if maybe that's why Olympics, they're just emulating what's happened to the rest of college sports. When Greg was talking about how he doesn't know the people, you replace Olympics with college basketball. And I feel like that's the way a lot of the nation feels.

And that you don't know because players leave after a year. You don't get time to know the really, really good players unless they stick around. And even then, sometimes they don't. And so this way you have four years of waiting, but you don't really see anything about it up until maybe a little bit before. Because everything's become so specialized and amateurism has died. It's probably just filtered its way into the Olympics now. Also, are there too many events?

No, I don't think there's too many events. Really? Would you like me to run through some for you? Oh, you don't need to go through the individuals. I really like the Olympics, personally, but I don't find it to be appointment television.

As much as I once did. I do think part of it, though, part of the challenge of it is that if you look at the last few Olympics, several of them have been in Asia, which is really difficult for the time change. If they're in Europe or the United States or in Canada or in South America, it's much easier to consume the Olympics. If they're in Beijing or Tokyo, it's hard. They do an amazing job. I mean, the opening ceremonies in Beijing were just mind-blowing.

but it's a lot more difficult to be able to watch it at a time that would be convenient for us. And I don't like spoilers. Nobody wants to wake up and see the still pictures of Phelps winning the gold, and then tonight at 7, Michael Phelps in the 200-meter freestyle. So social media kind of killed some of it because there was a time where –

I remember we would watch, my mom would have the figure skating on. She had no idea who won because she didn't listen to sports talk radio in the car, and SportsCenter was not 24-hour SportsCenter coverage. Because you can get anything anywhere at any time now, they air the stuff live, and then they'll repackage it later. So when it is in Sydney back in 2000, even though the Internet was kind of early and young, you could still find out what was going on. You could watch it live.

But back when we were growing up, even if it was in Barcelona, six, seven hours ahead of us, they would just wait and air everything live as opposed to just putting anything out. Because back then, how would you get that information? You wouldn't. You had to watch.

There's only way to get it. Now it's not only on television stations, radio, but like you said, social media as well. So I think I think all the things that we mentioned have a little bit to do with it. And maybe there's maybe it's a little bit of lack of star power also. But is there like a star power? Like, I don't know. I'm asking. I mean, I think there's stars. They're not multiple. They're not seven, eight, 10 athletes that I have followed their careers. And I'm really excited to see what they do in this year's Olympics. I'll watch. I'll tune it in.

But, like, am I dying to see the three-on-three basketball? Eh. I don't need to see that. Do I need to see canoe slalom or canoe sprint? Eh. I'll be all right. Nah.

Break dancing, I'm telling you. It's not break dancing. It's breaking. Oh, I've seen that movie. Breaking! No, just breaking is all it is. It's a little strange. It's all it is. It doesn't bother me. It feels like a copyright infringement, but all right. I don't know. I just have a difficult time. I really do. I have a difficult time with the Olympics. I used to love it. It'll be interesting in four years when it's in L.A.,

To see how we feel. Because at that point... I'm definitely not watching. It's California. I don't know. I think so much of our attention, too. Think about the sports that have grown. Back in the 80s, what was going on? We followed what was going on with the decathlon. We did. And now, I couldn't even tell you who's in the decathlon. I couldn't even tell you what events...

We're in the decathlon. Like we as a society are so consumed and sports have become year round that we have so many sports avenues. Like we can watch every team that you're every single sport that your college team has. I think there was also, so that's also something that has hurt the Olympics. Like I, my whole life could not just turn on on Friday nights and watch gymnastics. But guess what? Now I got Friday night lights and,

At Friday Night Heights, excuse me, every Friday night. But on the flip side of that, should that not want people to consume more of that because you're actually able to see it and you enjoy parts of it now? I think there was that kind of weird, like, oh, I really want to see this short track speed skating.

This is interesting. But if I want to watch short track speed skating, I can watch it whenever I want. I don't have to wait four years to watch it. Well, you know what? You can't get rhythmic gymnastics or sport climbing on any conference network, so you'll be able to watch that. I can on streaming. If I really wanted to watch that, I would watch it on streaming. Where would you go watch trampoline other than in the Olympics? I can go right down the street. We go to that Urban Era right there.

It's the other direction. It's the other direction, actually, but okay. That way. All right. Whatever. You know the direction. Okay. One direction. So, yeah, I don't know where you get fencing other than the Olympics, but... The Ocho? Cool. I went to high school with an Olympian fencer. For real? Yeah. From Southlake, Texas. Christy French. Can we get her on the show to break down the Olympics? Not sure. I don't have the digits. Okay. Yeah.

There's other avenues. Other than your backyard, where do you watch badminton? We don't have... Well, in our backyard, it's sloped. And luckily for us, my friends at Backyard Adventures have put in a basketball goal for us. But they're not on the schedule today. You can get basketball and three-on-three basketball in the Olympics. I do like the three-on-three.

I know that you were making fun of it earlier. But the first time I saw it, I was like, is this really an Olympic sport? I didn't even know it was a thing until the last Olympics. And I watched a little bit of it. Don't need it. It's always fun to see Jimmer for debt out there grinding. He's on the team. If you had your choice, are you taking science?

Cycling BMX Freestyle, Cycling BMX Racing, Cycling Mountain Bike, Cycling Road, or Cycling Track? That's BMX Freestyle. Okay. I'm just asking the question. Oh, you don't think mountain biking can get hurt? Yeah, but it's boring. You're just going to see them ride the lights to Tour de France.

One dude in a car on the camera just watching. Yeah, it's live action Peloton. All right, cool. Live action Peloton. Don't let a fan step out on that cycling road in front of the whole thing. No, no, no, no. You can all go down. Okay, all right, cool. And I got to tune in for 30 hours of coverage just to see that. Okay, so regardless of athlete affiliation, what they've already done, anything, what are sort of must-see events for you in the Summer Olympics?

Swimming? Certain swimming events? 100 meter? You mentioned that, Damien. That's going to be one. Gymnastics for me would be one. Gymnastics. The men's gymnastics, God's honest truth, doesn't do a lot for me. Like...

I'm amazed at the strength, but I don't like their events as much as I like the ladies' events. Like the single bar. I like the uneven bars. The rings, the pommel horse, I don't even know what I'm looking at. No one can do it better than Vince Vaughn. The men's events just don't do a whole lot for me. Table tennis? You can have that one. Water polo. Water polo is a great sport. Sailor?

Have you ever watched Water Polo? Yes. That could be intriguing. It's not an awesome watch, but it's incredibly difficult. I'm not saying it's not, but it's not a great watch. But it's a physical game. I would think you would like it. So it is a sport, right? Oh, yes. Big time. There's physical interaction. You're competing against

They hit each other and stuff. They're trying to drown each other. I wouldn't go that far. Dude, they're pulling each other's bathing suits down. I'm dead serious. I'm dead serious. Water polo is hardcore. Seriously. Water polo is hardcore. It's really intense. Track used to do it for me. It's just so short.

I look forward to the 100, and it's over before it begins. That's the thrill of it because it's so fast. That's why I enjoy it. But it's also the... Not the decathlon. No. No, no, no. The... Like the 2600 or whatever that... Yeah. 8,000 laps. I'll tell you one of the events that I'm always amazed by. I watch the long jump. The long jump blows my mind. Oh, yeah. I don't know how...

More so than that, the triple jump. How ACLs are not blown on a regular basis on the triple jump, I do not know. You'd feel like Andrews would just be sitting there waiting on the side of that thing. You like speed walking? You know I don't need it. That's what you look like around your neighborhood trying to get your 20,000 steps. Here I go. Don't poop in my yard, everybody.

On that note, we'll be right back on McElroy and Kubrick in the morning. Catch up with all things McElroy and Kubrick in the morning by subscribing to the podcast. Mythically, he's grown. He's almost like a little bit bigger than a player, right? Like the myth of Bo Jackson. Like, rate, and download the show from the Jock Gap or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, welcome back in. McElroy and Kubrick in the morning, Wednesday, July 10th, 826 a.m. right here on Jocks 94.5.

Bill Smith Buick GMC is the GMC dealer of the year. Seven times they've won the national championship of GMC dealers, and they've sold more GMC cars in the last 18 months than anyone here in the entire southeast. And right now you can go get yourself one of the nicest trucks on the road, man. This thing will just absolutely blow you away with how nice it is. A GMC Sierra 2500.

Four-wheel drive crew cab Denali. This thing is loaded. Absolutely loaded. You're paying over market in many places for this vehicle. $91,270 is market. They're going to take $5,500 off, taking it down to $85,770, and you're going to get 5.9%. That's unbelievable financing rate on a vehicle that you just can't buy very many places, and it's a short drive up to Coleman to go see it for yourself.

You also can shop online, have it delivered right to your driveway at BillSmithBuickGMC.com. All right, you can always tweet into the show, be a part there, at Mac and Cube is where you can give us your feedback. A couple of you responding to our conversation on the Olympics we just had. The Unhipster tweeting in, very good chance of seeing a wardrobe malfunction in women's water polo due to suit pulling. It's pretty intense.

Super intense. All right, Sicko. Once again, I feel like Damien's in. Oh, correct. That's all it took. It's crazy intense. I can't believe you've never watched it. I feel like, of all people, Cole would really enjoy it. I do feel like it falls in the category of hockey and soccer where there should be a lot more shots on goal. Ah, maybe that's, yeah. They don't. But maybe with some malfunctions, they will. Carl Bono tweets in, women's beats volleyball 100%. I like volleyball in general. It is fun.

And I don't really know now, but I do feel like for a long period of time there were some household names that were competing in beach volleyball, which made it a little bit more exciting. But now Lane Jim's the household name for volleyball, so I've gone out. Well said. Yeah, USA. And he said in the tweet, the tweet says women's beach volleyball. I don't think there is a men's beach volleyball in the Olympics.

Yeah, there is. I want to say. I'm looking at it right now. Maybe there was at one point because I feel like there was. That's ridiculous if it's not. Where's Title IX? It's in college. Athletics. Surely they have men's beach volleyball. I feel like I've seen the guys with the weird yes for part of the cats and strange glasses. No, I'm not saying there never was. I just don't know if there is right now.

If you hate it, fine. Just tell us. Louis DeArmond, winter or summer? I'm a big fan of skiing and shooting things, curling bobsleds. I can see basketball whenever I want. He's all about the biathlon then. Well, good for you that there is a shooting event in the Summer Olympics. Oh, there we go. Check that out. Winter or summer? I'm more of a summer guy. Why? I guess it's more of a relation to the sports that I'm watching. Like surfing?

I like the obscure. More like the basketball and track and things like that. All the swimming events for you? Breaking. Sure. Okay. I like personally the... The Taekwondo? The winter Olympics are interesting, but it's like, eh. I think about it. I like the obscure sports a little bit in the Olympics, and short track speed skating of all the Olympic events is probably one of my favorites. So I might lean winter just a little bit. And, dude, they also fly down the mountain.

At like 120 miles an hour. That's always cool to see. The only problem is it's like the rich kids.

are the ones competing in the winter. It's like, in order to become a downhill skier, your dad has to be worth 100 mil. There's no way. Because fencing, equestrian, and tennis in the Summer Olympics, those aren't the rich kids. That's the sport for everyone. Anybody can play tennis. I don't know. 100%. Anybody can play tennis. You can't play at Wimbledon, necessarily. That's why they need a pickleball for people that can't play tennis.

Okay, tennis requires a racket and a friend. That's literally all you need. All the kids coming out of the ghetto right into sailing at the Olympics. Yeah, you can have sailing. I got no time for it. Now, I don't know about this. Jay tweets in, how come some sports are for amateurs and others aren't? Can't we just make it pros and everything? I mean, the Olympics doesn't matter, right? They're not certain things. They can do what they want, right? Yeah, I didn't think it was...

I don't think that was an issue. Rebecca tweets in, the swimming portion is the only part of the Olympics I truly get into. Can't wait to see Caleb Dressel crush it and Katie Ledecky and a bunch of others also like gymnastics too ready to cheer on fellow Auburn Tiger at SUNY League. There we go. See, I'm in. Shit.

She was in America before she was Auburn. Justin Thomas was playing. We'd be hearing about that. You know we would. No, not usually. RTR on 18th hole. It's just great that Auburn finally has some representation in a sport. Wow. Goodness gracious. Don't be mad at me. I don't know how to. Will she be done, make the Olympic team? She's coming back for another year at LSU. Five years, baby.

Who do we think has more gold medals, Auburn or Alabama? I'm trying to think. You feel like it's Auburn? I'm trying to think if I care. Let me think. Okay, then definitely it's Auburn now. You should. It's definitely Auburn now. Definitely. That's Auburn. Yeah. Let's see. I was just asking. I don't know how we get the tail of the tape on that, but I do feel like that. I would bet with Auburn swimming, they probably have a bunch of medals. But I really don't know, to be honest with you. I mean, national championships, Auburn got in football. Barkley's got one.

How many national championships have Auburn gotten in football? Because unless your gold medal is a 9-to-1 ratio, we got you beat. Hey, say it with a chance, big dog. Just being real. Broke the eye. Barkley got two, by the way. Two of them. Yeah, Jordan carried them. Ruthie Bowden-Mollefield got a couple. No, he didn't. Yeah, there's a lot. You're right, there's a lot in swimming. Surely Robert Ory's got a gold medal. Harvey Glantz got a couple. He's got some Larry O'Briens. Margaret Holzer got a couple in swimming.

It's Auburn. Willie Smith? It's Auburn. Yeah, I'm going to go Auburn. Just outside the top 20 in all the schools. How have we not made a graphic of that? Do you get to claim Suni Lee's gold medal even though she was USA before Auburn? Says who? She might have been Auburn when she was born. You don't know. You're born into a family. Yeah, that's right. We bleed orange and blue, Greg. Oh, yeah, y'all do. That's right.

We play bow at Bama. Cornell has more gold medals than Auburn. Cornell? I bet they're all fencing, I bet. Most likely. Sailing? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, no doubt. Handball? Andy, all I can think about when you say Cornell is Andy. Actually, field hockey, I bet they're a couple in there. That makes sense, right, yeah. Cornell, worst Ivy League school?

Well, I don't have no idea. Like, are you talking education wise or sports? I have no idea. I don't know either. I don't know either way. I honestly have no idea. The worst Ivy League school. Does Harvard have more gold medals? It's like my kid asked me the other day, is this the best or the worst Hall of Fame? Well, Harvard is not. I don't think there's a worst Hall of Fame, actually. What's the most in the Ivies? It looks like Yale. Yale. By six. Speaking of Oliver. But they're both tied in terms of gold medals. So soon. It's just so soon.

Does it show you what they're in? I can't believe it. I can click and see. Rolling. A lot of rolling. A lot of rolling. Financial planning, like we looked at the other day, all those obscure ones. Oh, speaking of which, I have more national championships for you guys. Oh, let's go. Okay, we'll get to a few of those when we come back next on McElroy and Kubelik in the morning. The capital of the sports talk nation. This is Jocks 94.5 and jocksfm.com.

All right, welcome back in. McElroy and Kublik in the morning. We'll get to some more obscure national championships here in just a moment. Wednesday, July 10th, 8.38 a.m. on JOX 94.5. Greg, tell our listeners about Polar Bear Services. Polar Bear Services is the one-stop shop. I call them for everything around my house, and I know that Wes and the guys can take care of it. They are the experts.

when it comes to heating and air. And hot weather's here. We know higher temperatures can lead to your system overworking itself. That's why you need to have it checked out by the independent train dealer, Polar Bear Services. You don't want that air conditioning system giving you problems when triple digits are heading our way. So go check them out right now. And remember...

If you have a problem with your electrical, plumbing, heat, or air, just pick up the phone and call the Bear. It's 205-497-BEAR. It's 497-BEAR. All right, if you missed these segments in previous shows, we have found obscure national championships amongst college activities. I'm not going to say sports because some of these, no way they would qualify as sports. But in collegiate activities, um...

Collegiate competitions, if you will. We have national championships that have been named. Some of these may be the most obscure that we've had, and we've had some random ones. We have meat testing, meat grading, financial planning. We've had some randoms. Financial planning rips. Here comes some more. Biomedical engineering. UAB? No. Oh.

I appreciate your passion there. John Hopkins. Great guess. No. I'm going to say Illinois. Close. Purdue. Really? Purdue's got a lot. Purdue must be a good school or something. Cardboard recycling. We know it's not any of those California. It's Cal Berkeley. Uh-uh. No, it's got to be. Uh-uh. It's not. It isn't. It's Washington State. It is a state, but not Washington. It's Boise, isn't it?

Michigan State is your cardboard recycling national champion. I don't understand how you do that. I don't know either. Combat weapons. Army. Yes. Some of these I'm going to give you are going to be obvious and be easy. Yeah, that one feels a little bit more. If they don't win, we need to have a discussion. We should be concerned. Racquetball. Men's and women's. Two different schools. On the men's side, it's... I'm going to say Yale. I'm going to say Pitt. Pitt.

Neither correct. Yale, good guess. That's not a hint actually towards the actual winner, but I feel like that's a good direction. Men's is Oregon. Women's is Grand Canyon University. Wow, you were so close. I'm going to say Fresno State on the women's side. Men's, Oregon State. Okay. Women's, BYU. Okay. Really? They won breakdancing championship too, so yeah. Ethics Bowl. Ethics? By the way.

Completely backwards here, but yes, Ethics Bowl National Championship. No, it's got to be USC because they allowed all those celebrities to buy their way in. It's not USC. It's an SEC school. You said it was backwards. It's not an SEC school. It's not where I was going in. I'm going to say Northwestern. No. I'm going to say it is a North. North Carolina. Yes. Really? Ethics. Business ethics. No, just Ethics Bowl. Ethics.

I don't know if that's business. I don't know if that's – it's not basketball. No. Not a postseason game, no. Tractor, loader, backhoe, national champion. That's Texas A&M. It's not. No, no. Then it's got to be Auburn. Nebraska Lincoln. As opposed to what? Wesleyan? I'm sure there's other Nebraskans out there. Nebraska Omaha. It's Creighton. It's not. It's a good guess.

Michigan State. No, not Michigan State. Michigan State's racking up here today. That Big Ten is so serious. They won Tractor Loader Backhoe National Championship. I have no idea what that is. Solar Decathlon. Whoa. It's a real thing. Solar Decathlon. It's a real thing. Whoa. Arizona State. It's in their name. Good guess. It's a good guess and it's close.

Arizona. Arizona is your solar decathlon national champion. I don't know what that means. On the complete opposite side of that. The lunar decathlon. That actually would have been correct, but yes. Your snowshoe national champions are? No one would. I could give each of you a thousand guesses and you wouldn't get this. Snowshoe? Correct. Montana. Paul Smith College. Would never have any idea. They are the? Paul Smith. They are the Explorers.

Bobcats. Opera scenes. Opera scenes national champions. I'm going to go. Juilliard. Grambling. No. No. Sabre's on the right track. Really? With Grambling? I'm going to go Southern then. Prairie View A&M is your opera scenes national champion.

Scenes? Like S-C-E-N-E-S? Correct. As opposed to what? Oh, I just said Scenes. I was like, I don't know. The Opposite Championship. Like I said, some of these are obscure and difficult. Some of these make total sense. I've got to see the tape. Ranch Horse Team. That's Texas A&M. It isn't. No, no. That feels Purdue. It is not. No. It's North Texas.

Texas Tech. All right, so I'm just going to give you – entomology? I have to look it up. I'm not going to lie. That's what? Study of words or where they came from? Cornell. No. That is – that's Toledo. The branch of zoology concerned with the study of insects. Okay, I was way off. That's Toledo. It is not. No. Actually, I feel like this one doesn't make a lot of sense. I feel like it would be a southern school, like maybe an LSU or a Louisiana Monroe. Yeah.

Maybe a Florida school? Boise State. Penn State. National champions in entomology. They study insects better than anyone. That makes sense. Solid. I'll roll through a couple others for you. Roller hockey. D1, Lindenwood. D2, Arizona. Lindenwood always up to no good. Arizona? Roller hockey, D3, Yeshiva. Okay. Roller hockey, D3. They exist, but Birmingham Southern doesn't. Wow. Yeshiva are the Maccabees.

All right. Pretty intimidating. Your guess is as good as mine. Bowling men's national champion went to Weber International. Not state. Not Weber State. Not state. International. Good job. Steel Bridge Building. Anyone want to take a shot at that? It's got to be Pete. La Tech. Yeah, it feels like Purdue. I would have said like...

There's a Jacksonville College, correct? Yeah. Like Jacksonville, Florida? I would have guessed that. I would just think Steel Bridge Engineering. Yeah, somewhere along those lines. Your Florida Gators are national champions in Steel Bridge building. It's like you maybe switched –

Penn State and Florida. That would have made a lot of sense. Washington won the men's rowing national championship. Indiana won the men's table tennis doubles national title. Texas Wesleyan doubled up and won table tennis co-ed and table tennis women doubles national championships. Wow. Put them on the board. Yes. And finally...

Your last Obscure National Champion of the Day goes to Artistic Swimming, and that would be won by? That was Prairie View A&M. Artistic Swimming? Close. Geographically. Think former Auburn quarterback. Texas State? No. That is a good guess also. He ripped it up this past year.

Incarnate Word. Incarnate Word is your artistic swimming national champion for 2023-2024. Where is Prairie View? Prairie View is in Texas. It's in between Houston and College Station. I didn't know where it was. I would have no idea. You go right by it. Those are some of your national champions. Incarnate Word. Zach Calzada. When we come back,

A couple questions around Southeastern Conference football that I have for the guys. Some what-ifs, if you will, when we return. But first, I'll tell you about our friends at Wayne's. If you want to keep the entomology away from your house, Wayne's can help you do that. Roaches, ants, fleas, ticks, they know all about them. They know how to keep them out of your house. Also, if you want to keep some of the pests out, like...

Maybe you have raccoon issue, squirrel issue. Wayne's going to keep those out of your house as well. They monitor against unwanted rodents and immediately alert Wayne's of any rodent problems, prompting an in-home visit to eliminate the issue. They got the Mosquito Plus also, Greg. A lot of reasons this time of year to call Wayne's. Yeah, call them at 866-WAYNES1. They'll take great care of you.

A couple of quarterback numbers that I want to know if you think they can get to this upcoming season. And the top three winningest teams in the SEC the past three years.

Right off I-65, exit 234 in Alabaster. It's Airport Marine. Winning his program's last three years in the SEC. You guys want to take a shot at that? Won the most games? I mean, Bama, Georgia, LSU? Those are my three. In that order?

Yeah, I'll go in that order. Why not? Damien? Bama, Georgia, LSU. No, because Georgia went 15-0, so it would be Georgia, Bama, LSU. Georgia, Bama, Ole Miss. Ooh. 42-36-29 wins over the last three seasons. Will it be the same three over the next three seasons? No. Texas will be in there. Who are you taking out? Ole Miss. Ole Miss. Okay. You agree? Greg, Texas will be...

Is it just take Ole Miss out, put Texas in? I think Texas has a really good shot, but I also would not look over LSU. I think LSU's coming. Damien, most wins in the SEC the next three years, if the last three it's been Georgia, Alabama, and Ole Miss. Yeah, I'd take Ole Miss out, and I'd put Texas in. No Tennessee? Nah. The Joe Milton year throws off a little bit. Well, it wasn't that bad.

It just wasn't enough. I mean, we act like it was like they went four and eight. It wasn't that bad. It felt like it. It just wasn't what people thought it was going to be, so I did think it makes it feel a little bit worse. Or it was exactly what we thought it was going to be, some of us. Correct. There were a few of us that weren't necessarily tooting that horn as loud as some other folks were, but that's okay. It happens. Some of us were a little bit more pointed in our evaluation that he might be good, but we just don't know.

We mentioned those 42 wins for Georgia over the last three years. Do you know how many losses? Two? One? Two. In the last three years, yeah. Oh, yeah, two. This would be Bama and Bama. Yeah. Sorry. Last time Georgia lost to an SEC team not named Alabama. Can you give me the team and the year? That would be...

South Carolina? It'd be Florida 2020. That's a good guess. It was Florida in 2020, 44-28 in Jacksonville. That's wild to think about. My B, my B. I mean, two losses in the last three years. Insane.
