Time now for this weekend's Appointed News quiz.

0:03

I've been waiting all week for this. You know, it's used to be your weekly

0:08

dose of humiliation, and it has turned into my will.

0:10

See if that changes today. Lex Christopher's here filling in for

0:13

Lisa Mateo. Alexis, if you let me win.

0:16

Oh, she's bribing me. Oh, I like it.

0:19

I don't look well just in the regular first time doing pointed bazookas.

0:23

Maybe I'll be a lucky charm for you. So, listen, if you're also watching this

0:27

for the first time, just a quick primer. So there are three categories.

0:31

Uh, everybody gets, uh, 30 chips, which, frankly, I really think the purple chips

0:36

should have gone to Christina today because of that tree.

0:38

But that's just what David insisted on having.

0:40

The wisdom and the power. Yeah.

0:42

And depending on these, uh, categories, you could bet the house and put all 30

0:46

chips. Or you can only bet in increments of

0:49

ten. Okay.

0:49

So, like, you can't put, like, eight each.

0:51

Christina always does that. She never beats the house.

0:54

Yeah. That's true I do, I like it.

0:56

It's sort of like her portfolio. No, I'm only kidding.

0:59

We don't need to go. All right, here are the categories.

1:01

Here are the categories. You ready for yesterday?

1:03

Streaming. Transportation appliances.

1:07

Uh. Uh, I confess I wasn't in the office

1:10

several days this week. I was out of office, and I feel like I'm

1:14

equally going to be equally bad at all of this.

1:16

I might know the first one. I have no idea what the second two hour.

1:18

I'm. I'm going to do the usual.

1:19

I'm going to just put ten. Ten.

1:20

Are you as willing to do as well? Okay.

1:22

I like doing that. I like to usually roll the dice, as it

1:25

were, but no. All right.

1:26

Okay. I like I like your approach.

1:27

All right. First one streaming.

1:28

Streaming. YouTube is offering exclusive deals

1:32

worth millions to prevent creators from posting content on which streaming

1:37

platform. All right.

1:39

Oh. All right.

1:41

Feeling pretty good about this. I feel like.

1:42

Guys. Yeah, I did read this.

1:44

And you read this one. Oh, you read it.

1:46

Oh my God. Okay, then go.

1:47

Christina. Netflix.

1:49

Yay! I wrote TikTok.

1:50

Uh, you were out this week. You were right.

1:53

It was hard. But don't fear not.

1:55

Oh, so, Alexis, here's a really fun for you to take away from.

1:58

Do I get you to. Yes.

2:00

You know, you play the role of the dealer.

2:01

Do I get to cash them in later? Like.

2:03

Like what? I wonder what I get.

2:05

Unclear. They're kind of just to offer you worth

2:07

a little fractions of our egos, but you know, you can hold them over us.

2:10

Okay. Should we move on to transportation?

2:12

Okay, so Fiat Topolino is coming to the US with a maximum speed of.

2:18

Hold onto your hats 25mph. Yeah.

2:21

What kind of a vehicle is it? Okay.

2:24

Topolino. Lina.

2:25

It's really cute. Pictures of this on the internet along

2:27

the way. Lina.

2:29

Which means little mouse. Little tails.

2:32

Oh, I love that. I love that fact.

2:34

So that gives you any clue as to what kind of car this is?

2:37

Yeah. Oh, okay.

2:39

Oh, shoot. Oh.

2:40

She's racing. We're not even.

2:42

Are you confident about this? No, but confident in my lack of

2:46

confidence. Okay.

2:46

Are you ready for a road scooter? Uh, I just try, as you said.

2:51

Car. Yeah, so I said good art.

2:53

Yes. Uh oh.

2:55

Maybe I did give her an edge. Maybe.

2:58

Oh, boy. There it is, too.

2:59

Isn't it cute? Yeah, I like it.

3:01

People are actually using it now in communities like, you know, gated

3:05

communities. They're using it to sort of bop around.

3:07

Not even this young woman, of course, but she shouldn't be in the car.

3:10

Come on. It looks very much.

3:11

She must have a large property for our radio listeners.

3:14

Yeah. And how about that color?

3:16

I mean, I would drive that, so I drove it on is a street legal kind of drive

3:20

that on here. It looks like it doesn't have any doors,

3:22

no doors or some rope, I would say no, not in New York City.

3:26

All right, let's move on to, um, science or chips.

3:29

Oh, I think we're getting to collect his chips.

3:32

Alexis. You're welcome.

3:33

Christine, I think I'm your lucky taco. Okay, appliances.

3:36

It has been a hot summer in Europe, and that's no joke.

3:39

Chinese exports to the European Union, of which product made Hisense um, uh,

3:45

made by Hisense, are up 43% from a year ago.

3:48

So let me repeat. Chinese exports to the EU, of which

3:50

product made by Hisense are up 43% from a year ago.

3:57

All right. I think you guys got it.

3:58

I wrote air conditioner, uh, where I am. You know what?

4:02

Close, but no, sir. Sorry.

4:05

I'm so sorry. So I get ten of these.

4:08

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. There's control room laughing in my

4:11

ears. Yeah, I didn't realize this till I read

4:13

it on the terminal. Chinese companies control two thirds of

4:17

the global market for air conditioning. And I'm surprised it's not fans because

4:21

I was just in London. It was ridiculously hot and no one would

4:24

allow themselves to have an air conditioner.

4:26

The guy at the corner shop, I was talking to him about it.

4:28

He said every time he installed one, because he was in historic districts,

4:31

the council would come and tell him to remove it.

4:33

So I assumed think those are two thirds. He says two thirds should run on a

4:37

platform with air conditioner sovereignty.

4:40

I like that, I think you think you mean gain trust.

4:42

You know who I'm not a fan of? Well, yeah.

4:44

Yeah. Okay.

4:46

I'm going to say he was a bonus when he split.

4:48

Look into many. They got to get a mini split.

4:50

All right. I have a bonus.

4:51

Are you ready? This is exciting.

4:53

Japanese food. Yeah.

4:55

Okay. The bonus.

4:55

The restaurant chain married my program. Okay.

4:58

And that Mario game, I see it there on this is expanding in the U.S., which

5:03

noodle thicker and chewier than ramen does.

5:06

The chain specializing. Okay, so we're looking for a noodle

5:09

here. And your noodle leader, Christine, I do

5:13

like noodles. Oh, I you know, I made ramen the other

5:16

night. Did you?

5:16

I'm really enjoying it. I love the recipe.

5:19

I do the broth and I do the egg. Oh, I do the egg.

5:21

I got to be. The egg is key.

5:23

So was. It was wonderful.

5:24

I took a picture of it actually, because it was so good.

5:27

All right, let's see. What did you put down?

5:28

Soba. Udon.

5:30

Udon is right. Oh, man.

5:32

You. I did it almost right.

5:33

So better be fair. All right, well.

5:35

All right, David. Well, I got them all.

5:37

I'm actually back. I'm on my way back.

5:40

I'll read the news. Am I allowed to come back?

5:42

Yeah. Of course.

5:43

Relented? Absolutely.

5:45

Lisa has got some competitions that I seem to have better luck this time.

5:48

I will note you can test your knowledge on all ten questions.

5:51

We did three. There were seven more.

5:52

Take the point of news quiz at Bloomberg Commodities Edge.

5:55

You can also find it on the much ballyhooed Bloomberg.

5:58

But this at yes. Main difference?

5:59

Yes. If you take it at home, you get choices

6:02

here. You guys.

6:03

Choice. I've been advocating for this for many,

6:07

many days now. We just got a note from our executive

6:09

producer, so I think that's not happening for me.

6:11

I guess it's more entertaining or more work.

6:13

I don't know, maybe it's more entertaining when you're embarrassed and

6:15

we get to watch a little bit. So we did have one of our bosses do it

6:18

once, and he said that was like the most stressful five minutes I can imagine.

6:22

So I'll stay on this side of the desk. Thank you for the dealer.
