Speaker 1: We're sixty seconds from your shot call a question of
Speaker 1: the day. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and
Speaker 1: a random musician named Cameron Ferguson was playing songs on
Speaker 1: Twitch the other day before we get to the rest
Speaker 1: of the story. Okay, let's just sit back and listen
Speaker 1: to Cameron for a little bit. Okay, down pleased. Oh
Speaker 1: that's enough, thanks Cameron. I mean I sit back and
Speaker 1: listen to that. Pretty good, all right. Anyway, while he
Speaker 1: was doing his thing on Twitch, literally no one was watching,
Speaker 1: zero viewers as he was playing, until one guy who
Speaker 1: was big into the cryptocurrency world noticed him. He thought
Speaker 1: he was good, and he jumped onto his other social
Speaker 1: media accounts to tell other people to come watch Cameron
Speaker 1: oh my god and shout out. So in five hours,
Speaker 1: Cameron kept playing because more and more people started joining
Speaker 1: the room. He's playing for five hours. He hasn't run
Speaker 1: out of covers by this point. First half. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: just played it like twenty thirty times in a row. Okay,
Speaker 1: And by the end of it, they'd tipped him over
Speaker 1: eighty five thousand dollars. The thing is, Cameron didn't realize
Speaker 1: he was getting tipped until the performance was done. He'd
Speaker 1: never been on Twitch before. Here's his reaction when he
Speaker 1: finally saw the money in his account. This is all
Speaker 1: coming from you, guys, Like I'm I have to apologize.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what's going on. He's definitely yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So to know the stars or whatever, you can send
Speaker 1: eighty five thousand dollars. He got tipped during his performance,
Speaker 1: So congratulations to Cameron does not like crying. Oh sorry, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm just a little Oh this is interesting. He probably
Speaker 1: it's probably a rich engineer that works at like Amazon
Speaker 1: already is making six figures. Is this my paycheck? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is from you, guys. It's a tip. That's what
Speaker 1: I left a waitress the other day. I'm really happy
Speaker 1: for him. But do you guys feel like radio should
Speaker 1: have a feature where listeners can leave a tip while
Speaker 1: they're listening. Just push a button and then you know,
Speaker 1: five bucks comes our way. I mean, jealous of streamers.
Speaker 1: It's hard to get into with the huge guys, all
Speaker 1: this money to play video games. We're doing it. We're
Speaker 1: doing it old school school, yeah, free, We're the respectable
Speaker 1: form of entertainment. Now let's put on a shot caller.
Speaker 1: In shock each other for the shot Callar Question of
Speaker 1: the day. We have a blugget full of names. We're
Speaker 1: going to draw one out. So who gets asked the
Speaker 1: trivia question? If you answer incorrectly, the punishment is to
Speaker 1: be shocked while singing the song. So text into seventy
Speaker 1: five nine to two. Tell us what you'd like to
Speaker 1: hear Alexis is drawing a name out because she had
Speaker 1: the shot callar last, who'd you get Alexis Jose? Butterbean?
Speaker 1: Jose's putting on the shot caller while that happens, Digital Jake,
Speaker 1: please read us a shot caller question of the day.
Speaker 1: You may have heard the phrase throwing in the towel.
Speaker 1: It's actually a boxing reference that originated all the way
Speaker 1: back in the nineteen tens. When a fighter's corner believed
Speaker 1: their person had enough and shouldn't continue a fight, so
Speaker 1: they throw in an actual towel to signify surrender. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but before the phrase became popular, boxing cornermen used to
Speaker 1: throw a different item into the ring to surrender before
Speaker 1: the nineteen tens, Jose, what would they throw? Just their
Speaker 1: loose teeth it had fallen. I've imagine a little bench
Speaker 1: they stand on it. Yeah, that's interesting. What would a
Speaker 1: boxing coach have at his disposal rights so much? The
Speaker 1: towel makes sense because they've been using it to you know,
Speaker 1: wipe them off, right, cool them down. Well that's the thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: So what do they have. They have buckets for water
Speaker 1: so they can put like sponges in and they can
Speaker 1: sponge them in between round. That'd be such a mess
Speaker 1: to throw a hoody even, Yeah, that would stop the
Speaker 1: fight though instantly. Yeah that everybody Back early before the
Speaker 1: nineteen tens, everybody smoked cigarettes. So maybe he just tossed
Speaker 1: his cigarette into the ring and was like, we're done cigars.
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, a real boxing put his
Speaker 1: cigarette out. Yeah. Yeah. Something that everyone had in the
Speaker 1: nineteen tens is a hat. Everyone had a hat, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like those news reporter hats. Though, let's get the question
Speaker 1: one more time. Throwing in the towel is actually a
Speaker 1: boxing reference that originated all the way back in the
Speaker 1: nineteen tents, when a fighter's corner believed their person had
Speaker 1: enough and shouldn't continue, so they actually threw in a
Speaker 1: towel on the mat to signal to everyone that it
Speaker 1: was enough. But before the phrase became popular. Boxing cornermen
Speaker 1: used to throw a different item into the ring to surrender.
Speaker 1: What would they throw I'm trying to think about it.
Speaker 1: We're mouth guards invented yet I doubt it. There's like
Speaker 1: big wooden pieces that make the whole situation worse because
Speaker 1: now in a box matchup, the mouthguard falls out. They
Speaker 1: stopped the fight and they love it. They didn't care
Speaker 1: about safety back then. That's true. I mean they're literally
Speaker 1: beating each other. I feel like there was a lot
Speaker 1: of animals rolling around. Maybe there's a chicken. They grab it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a fight. They'll stand it out
Speaker 1: in the middle of a street with a boxing ring. Okay,
Speaker 1: something else they had a lot of back then. Newspapers.
Speaker 1: There was newspapers everywhere. Oh yeah, you're just reading the
Speaker 1: newspaper while he's watching the match. Go on, just say it.
Speaker 1: I just when I'm pictured, when I'm closing my eyes
Speaker 1: and picture in a nineteen ten boxing matchups see people
Speaker 1: with cigars with hats and newspapers in hand. What about
Speaker 1: what about whiskey? Just don't I don't think you would
Speaker 1: waste your whiskey that it gets everybody's attention. The smell.
Speaker 1: Everyone would be like, oh no, everyone fight off the screen.
Speaker 1: Party foul has alcoholics prohibition. All right, what do you
Speaker 1: think was there? We have? We have, you know, cigarette,
Speaker 1: bucket of water bowler hat. I'd say they threw a
Speaker 1: hat into the ring. Final answer. In the early nineteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: boxing cornermen would use towels as a signal to surrender
Speaker 1: by throwing them into the ring, but they were also
Speaker 1: used to wipe off sweat from the fighters. Prior to that,
Speaker 1: a cotton shortage made having a good quality boxing towel
Speaker 1: a luxury, so coaches and trainers had to find other
Speaker 1: ways to keep their fighters dry. Rather than throwing in
Speaker 1: a towel to give up, they would toss in a different,
Speaker 1: cheaper item used to wipe sweat and keep their fighters cool,
Speaker 1: Hence the prior term throw in the sponge. You had
Speaker 1: said that, yeah, between and besigns throwing your hat into
Speaker 1: the ring means that you want to join something. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: come all right, Well really screwed that one up. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna get shocked and somebody wants to hear you
Speaker 1: sing I have the Tiger. By survivor, it's the I
Speaker 1: have the Tiger it's the three out of fight, rising
Speaker 1: up to the challenge of arrival. Throw your towel in
Speaker 1: on that song. That's your shot caller question of the day.
