Speaker 1: We're sixty seconds from your shot caller question of the day.
Speaker 1: It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and there's plenty
Speaker 1: of businesses around the country that are reopening now. That
Speaker 1: means people going back to work. Yeah. Good. That could
Speaker 1: be a rough transition for some, especially those people who've
Speaker 1: become overly dependent on snacking to alleviate boredom while working
Speaker 1: at home. And like, does that mean people have to
Speaker 1: stop wearing elastic waste pants? Oh? I know, that's a
Speaker 1: really good question. I mean because munching on doritos and
Speaker 1: pirates booty in a meeting it's not exactly great office etiquette.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, licking the cheese off every single piece
Speaker 1: of your finger. Yeah, and the person next use fingers too.
Speaker 1: So recently a Japanese office supply company realized the problem there,
Speaker 1: and now they're developing something that could potentially help you
Speaker 1: get over the hump. Okay, it's called edible notepads. Should ye?
Speaker 1: That is awesome? Is it made out of like rice
Speaker 1: paper or something? They're little paper notepads that help make
Speaker 1: your impulsive nibbling a little bit more discreet. Yes, you're
Speaker 1: more like a goat when people see you eating. I
Speaker 1: don't know how this is more discreet, Like ten eating
Speaker 1: pretzels is super annoying, but when he eats a stapler, oh,
Speaker 1: totally normal. I'm not suspicious at all. The printing companies
Speaker 1: not sharing their trade secrets on how they made these
Speaker 1: edible notepads, but they must really work, dude. I remember
Speaker 1: I used to get candy when I was little that
Speaker 1: had edible rice paper, and you would eat the paper
Speaker 1: after you ate the candy. You remember that. I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened to those. They do say they planned
Speaker 1: to roll out the first batch in three different flavors.
Speaker 1: They'll have nacho cheese notepads, sour cream and onion notepads,
Speaker 1: and sour pickle pads. Oh my god, thank god we
Speaker 1: still have to stay six feet apart from each other
Speaker 1: because stak it will also include a special marker with
Speaker 1: ink that's flavored like coffee. Oh so, the more diligent
Speaker 1: a note take or you are, the better your paper
Speaker 1: snack is going to taste coffee with sour cream and onion.
Speaker 1: It sounds like maybe the worst combination ever. According to insiders,
Speaker 1: the Japanese public is very excited for the new product
Speaker 1: to roll out. Yes, but there is a small group
Speaker 1: of die hard food bloggers who are disappointed that banana
Speaker 1: flavored post its were not considered. It does make sense, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at a post it, you
Speaker 1: would think that should be a banana flavor. Again, they
Speaker 1: have all kinds of collars. They are like the starburst
Speaker 1: of edible office supplies. We're going to be tasting colors
Speaker 1: when we get electrocuted this morning. Because it's time for
Speaker 1: your shot caller question of the day, We're gonna draw
Speaker 1: a name out of a bucket to figure out who
Speaker 1: puts on the shot caller. That person gets asked a
Speaker 1: trivia question. If you get it wrong, you get punished
Speaker 1: by being shocked while singing a song. So text into
Speaker 1: seven eight five nine two tell us what tune do
Speaker 1: you want to hear? Jose's drawing a name out because
Speaker 1: he had the shot collar last. Who'd you get? It?
Speaker 1: Doesn't make Oh I haven't unfolded all the way? Sorry
Speaker 1: said something? Okay, brook birth control haircut fox Wow? All right,
Speaker 1: Brooks gonna put on the shot call and joining us
Speaker 1: once again as our social media coordinator, Alexis to help
Speaker 1: us out. She's helped us a key times before because
Speaker 1: we're not that smart. It turns out, yeah, she just
Speaker 1: got out of college, she remembers. Yeah, hopefully all right,
Speaker 1: So Wallbrooks putting on the shot caller Digital Jake, please
Speaker 1: read us the shot caller question of the day. On
Speaker 1: June twenty sixth, nineteen forty four, a once in a
Speaker 1: lifetime event happened in Major League Baseball just twenty days
Speaker 1: prior Allied forces landed on the shores of France. In
Speaker 1: order to raise funds for the war efforts, Baseball decided
Speaker 1: to hold a special attraction game with one absolutely insane
Speaker 1: rule change. The game raised four point five million dollars.
Speaker 1: But what was really remarkable was that the unique rule
Speaker 1: was so bizarre that it was not seen before then
Speaker 1: and we'll probably never see it again. What was so
Speaker 1: special about this particular game? Oh? What could they change
Speaker 1: that would be so exciting? Yeah? And that would raise
Speaker 1: how much money? For four point five million dollars in
Speaker 1: war bonds? Oh my god? Billions today? Yeah, soule change?
Speaker 1: What would be just insane? This is what I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: because why would you really really want to be there?
Speaker 1: And to me, it's for a chance to actually be
Speaker 1: part of the game. So like maybe for your pinch hitter,
Speaker 1: you actually could pick somebody from the audience to come
Speaker 1: down and back. Yes, you know what I mean. Idea
Speaker 1: that is crazy, That is interesting. I remember he said
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. So okay, alexis do you have any ideas?
Speaker 1: Two things I'm thinking One is like a player swap,
Speaker 1: like something with players, okay, or something with the fans,
Speaker 1: like you said, like bringing them down or they get
Speaker 1: to like take home something. Those are very general things. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: something with the fans. Very yeah. Is it something with
Speaker 1: the fans? Is that the answer? Let's read the question
Speaker 1: one more time. In nineteen forty four, Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: had a special attraction game in New York City on
Speaker 1: the hollowed Polo Grounds. They raised money for the ongoing
Speaker 1: war effort by selling tickets to a baseball game with
Speaker 1: one very large and bizarre change to the rules. The
Speaker 1: game has never been played with these rules ever. Again,
Speaker 1: what was it? Okay? What if what if you do
Speaker 1: when you stole the bases, you actually got to pick
Speaker 1: them up and move them to different places on the
Speaker 1: field them. Yeah, steal the base It's just not even
Speaker 1: baseball anymore. At that point. Yeah, just theft. But he
Speaker 1: did say polo grounds. So what if that what if
Speaker 1: they were all riding horses during the game of the
Speaker 1: stadium the polo grounds but large change. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: a large shape. There's no there's no way you can't
Speaker 1: do that. How could you pitch from the top of
Speaker 1: a horse? You know, I'm saying that's why it's never
Speaker 1: been done. Again, imagine batting on a horse. Just like
Speaker 1: way over the strike, I thought horses positive. I'm actually
Speaker 1: going to go back to my original idea. My answer
Speaker 1: is going to be they pulled people from the audience
Speaker 1: to bat. That's my final answer. Last chance to go
Speaker 1: with horses. No, I'm skipping horse. Crowd members could bat
Speaker 1: or play. Yeah, members of the crowd played on the field.
Speaker 1: In order to raise financial support for the Allied forces
Speaker 1: in World War Two, Major League Baseball held a special
Speaker 1: attraction game in June of nineteen forty four with one
Speaker 1: absolutely bizarre rule change. What happened next has been since
Speaker 1: dubbed the Incredible tri Corner Game, where the three teams
Speaker 1: of New York, the Giants, the Yankees, and the Dodgers
Speaker 1: switched off between fielding, hitting, and resting. And played the
Speaker 1: first ever and only three team baseball game in history.
Speaker 1: The score was five to one to zero, with the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Dodgers winning that. Yeah, how long a baseball game
Speaker 1: is already? If you add one more team in there?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? All right, Well, hours was over by
Speaker 1: the time they finished. Well, we didn't get that right.
Speaker 1: And so someone didn't want you to sing take me
Speaker 1: out to the ball game. Oddly, instead, they wanted you
Speaker 1: to sing You've got a Friend in Me by Randy Newman.
Speaker 1: All right, you got a friend in me, You've got
Speaker 1: a friend in me. Story when the road looks rough ahead.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, I forget that part. Then the road looks
Speaker 1: run ahead, and your mouth and mouths from your nice
Speaker 1: womb beard, Oh you got a friend? How that hurt?
Speaker 1: That was Randy Newman on zanix Yah. It was pretty good.
Speaker 1: That was your shot color question of the day. Your
Speaker 1: phone taps coming up in just a few minutes.
