Pointed! Bloomberg's Weekly News Quiz For Risk-Takers
154 segments
Time now for this weekend's Appointed News quiz.
I've been waiting all week for this. You know, it's used to be your weekly
dose of humiliation, and it has turned into my will.
See if that changes today. Lex Christopher's here filling in for
Lisa Mateo. Alexis, if you let me win.
Oh, she's bribing me. Oh, I like it.
I don't look well just in the regular first time doing pointed bazookas.
Maybe I'll be a lucky charm for you. So, listen, if you're also watching this
for the first time, just a quick primer. So there are three categories.
Uh, everybody gets, uh, 30 chips, which, frankly, I really think the purple chips
should have gone to Christina today because of that tree.
But that's just what David insisted on having.
The wisdom and the power. Yeah.
And depending on these, uh, categories, you could bet the house and put all 30
chips. Or you can only bet in increments of
ten. Okay.
So, like, you can't put, like, eight each.
Christina always does that. She never beats the house.
Yeah. That's true I do, I like it.
It's sort of like her portfolio. No, I'm only kidding.
We don't need to go. All right, here are the categories.
Here are the categories. You ready for yesterday?
Streaming. Transportation appliances.
Uh. Uh, I confess I wasn't in the office
several days this week. I was out of office, and I feel like I'm
equally going to be equally bad at all of this.
I might know the first one. I have no idea what the second two hour.
I'm. I'm going to do the usual.
I'm going to just put ten. Ten.
Are you as willing to do as well? Okay.
I like doing that. I like to usually roll the dice, as it
were, but no. All right.
Okay. I like I like your approach.
All right. First one streaming.
Streaming. YouTube is offering exclusive deals
worth millions to prevent creators from posting content on which streaming
platform. All right.
Oh. All right.
Feeling pretty good about this. I feel like.
Guys. Yeah, I did read this.
And you read this one. Oh, you read it.
Oh my God. Okay, then go.
Christina. Netflix.
Yay! I wrote TikTok.
Uh, you were out this week. You were right.
It was hard. But don't fear not.
Oh, so, Alexis, here's a really fun for you to take away from.
Do I get you to. Yes.
You know, you play the role of the dealer.
Do I get to cash them in later? Like.
Like what? I wonder what I get.
Unclear. They're kind of just to offer you worth
a little fractions of our egos, but you know, you can hold them over us.
Okay. Should we move on to transportation?
Okay, so Fiat Topolino is coming to the US with a maximum speed of.
Hold onto your hats 25mph. Yeah.
What kind of a vehicle is it? Okay.
Topolino. Lina.
It's really cute. Pictures of this on the internet along
the way. Lina.
Which means little mouse. Little tails.
Oh, I love that. I love that fact.
So that gives you any clue as to what kind of car this is?
Yeah. Oh, okay.
Oh, shoot. Oh.
She's racing. We're not even.
Are you confident about this? No, but confident in my lack of
confidence. Okay.
Are you ready for a road scooter? Uh, I just try, as you said.
Car. Yeah, so I said good art.
Yes. Uh oh.
Maybe I did give her an edge. Maybe.
Oh, boy. There it is, too.
Isn't it cute? Yeah, I like it.
People are actually using it now in communities like, you know, gated
communities. They're using it to sort of bop around.
Not even this young woman, of course, but she shouldn't be in the car.
Come on. It looks very much.
She must have a large property for our radio listeners.
Yeah. And how about that color?
I mean, I would drive that, so I drove it on is a street legal kind of drive
that on here. It looks like it doesn't have any doors,
no doors or some rope, I would say no, not in New York City.
All right, let's move on to, um, science or chips.
Oh, I think we're getting to collect his chips.
Alexis. You're welcome.
Christine, I think I'm your lucky taco. Okay, appliances.
It has been a hot summer in Europe, and that's no joke.
Chinese exports to the European Union, of which product made Hisense um, uh,
made by Hisense, are up 43% from a year ago.
So let me repeat. Chinese exports to the EU, of which
product made by Hisense are up 43% from a year ago.
All right. I think you guys got it.
I wrote air conditioner, uh, where I am. You know what?
Close, but no, sir. Sorry.
I'm so sorry. So I get ten of these.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. There's control room laughing in my
ears. Yeah, I didn't realize this till I read
it on the terminal. Chinese companies control two thirds of
the global market for air conditioning. And I'm surprised it's not fans because
I was just in London. It was ridiculously hot and no one would
allow themselves to have an air conditioner.
The guy at the corner shop, I was talking to him about it.
He said every time he installed one, because he was in historic districts,
the council would come and tell him to remove it.
So I assumed think those are two thirds. He says two thirds should run on a
platform with air conditioner sovereignty.
I like that, I think you think you mean gain trust.
You know who I'm not a fan of? Well, yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
I'm going to say he was a bonus when he split.
Look into many. They got to get a mini split.
All right. I have a bonus.
Are you ready? This is exciting.
Japanese food. Yeah.
Okay. The bonus.
The restaurant chain married my program. Okay.
And that Mario game, I see it there on this is expanding in the U.S., which
noodle thicker and chewier than ramen does.
The chain specializing. Okay, so we're looking for a noodle
here. And your noodle leader, Christine, I do
like noodles. Oh, I you know, I made ramen the other
night. Did you?
I'm really enjoying it. I love the recipe.
I do the broth and I do the egg. Oh, I do the egg.
I got to be. The egg is key.
So was. It was wonderful.
I took a picture of it actually, because it was so good.
All right, let's see. What did you put down?
Soba. Udon.
Udon is right. Oh, man.
You. I did it almost right.
So better be fair. All right, well.
All right, David. Well, I got them all.
I'm actually back. I'm on my way back.
I'll read the news. Am I allowed to come back?
Yeah. Of course.
Relented? Absolutely.
Lisa has got some competitions that I seem to have better luck this time.
I will note you can test your knowledge on all ten questions.
We did three. There were seven more.
Take the point of news quiz at Bloomberg Commodities Edge.
You can also find it on the much ballyhooed Bloomberg.
But this at yes. Main difference?
Yes. If you take it at home, you get choices
here. You guys.
Choice. I've been advocating for this for many,
many days now. We just got a note from our executive
producer, so I think that's not happening for me.
I guess it's more entertaining or more work.
I don't know, maybe it's more entertaining when you're embarrassed and
we get to watch a little bit. So we did have one of our bosses do it
once, and he said that was like the most stressful five minutes I can imagine.
So I'll stay on this side of the desk. Thank you for the dealer.
