Well, it's time for one of my favorite moments of the show The Point of News
Quiz. Now it's your favorite cause I've got my
chips right on the table in front of me. Christina counting hers up as well.
Lisa, Mateo here is with me. Where's the weak?
The questions. What do you have questions?
Okay, for those playing at home, here's how it works.
Okay, so they each have 30 chips in front of them.
They're broken into 30. Yes.
Okay. Looking very, very talented.
There really is. And what they will do is they will place
their bets on each category to figure out, you know, if you feel like you're
confident about the first category, you might want to put all your chips on
there. Or maybe you might want to not put
something on the second category category because you're like, I don't
think I know enough about about it. Um, so let's get right to it.
Okay. Are you ready to play along?
I'm ready to play your three categories. Here we go.
The first is trade wars. Trade?
Yes. The second is malls.
Very good. And the third is outbreaks.
Oh okay. So what did you know the most about
running the gambit? There I go, I go to confident.
Are you placing your bets? You know, I haven't used the Ruffini
strategy in recent weeks. It has worked to my advantage.
But today I'm going to lean on it. I'm going to go ten on each, ten on each
category. I'm also going to take ten on each.
Lisa, look at me. If you let him cheat this week, I will
follow you to your car. Okay.
Here we go. Here we go.
Trade wars. Here is your question.

Sorry DJI limiting exports to the US of what tech product commonly made by DJ.
Uh um what is this product I. Okay.
We need a hint now. We do not know.

I feel sad, I feel good about this category.
Christina, you're going to get this, okay?
Okay. Which edgy American mall staple is being
sold to the parent company of Spencer's and Spirit Halloween Spencer's store.
Spencer's is the clue. Okay, but it's being sold to the parent
company of Spencer's. And let's see.
Gosh, I remember that. I'm gonna say something, but I don't
want to give them a hint again like I did last week.
So I'm going to wait. I'm gonna wait.
Come on. David.
Okay. All right.
Uh, edgy mall staple. An edgy store that I wrote, I wrote
Claire's. It's not edgy.
What are you talking about? This is a place David has never shopped
in his life. I believe in a
topic you are kind of edgy. Hot Topic and Spencer's are always next
to each other. What is hot topic?
I'm sorry, what is Hot Topic? I like goth a little bit goth.
What do you say? It is 100%.
Yes. If you were an aspiring goth in Colorado
Springs, Colorado who went to Catholic school and had to wear uniforms.
Oh, you wanted in life was to dress in all the things your mother wouldn't let
you buy it, huh? So if any seniors are watching the
program and want to send in photographs of that era in your life, which may or
may not be shown on air. None of their seniors are watching.
They can't. That would be amazing.
I don't know where they're going to talk to my brother.

me. And you've got ten there.
Yeah, you seem to be online. All these little piles I have.

I think you're going to get this one. I'm not sure about this.
Okay, okay. Outbreaks.

Varieties include Tam and Goliath. So what food is salmonella?
Oh, great. Gosh, I am not talking about Cyclospora
vegetable. I can come up with.
Is that one? What food is with it?
Um, it's a type of food. Yes, it's a type of food.
I wrote tomatoes. No lettuce, which I know was not right.
No how I looked in my gym reading. I love our kids so much.
I didn't even know that. Yeah, I feel like I was down for, like,
sweet green. It was.
It was a it's a pretty bad time. So what can we eat?
That's too bad. What can you eat?
I know you can't, Cerrito. If you had the the Cerrito.

None. But you.
The bonus isn't all there is. No, it is not in all.
In the situation at least. Should we be changing the rules?
Bonus. Bonus round.

Uh, it did say it could be used for aviation palm oil, but I got it.
Um, oil? Nope.
Sorry. It's a fruit.
Guercino put me in a hold on. Yes.
Um, it grows on palm trees. Okay.
Brazil is investing $3 billion. That's my palm.
Yeah, that's why I couldn't remember. But you had the palm oil.
But it doesn't look like a fruit. I saw this article.
I thought it was a nut. Eventually.
Yeah. And they're trying to modify it to
become, like larger oil. Safer to handle because it has thorns on
it and it's not going to handle hard to harvest.
So yes. So that means Christina is our champion.
