00:00Pointed is a game that tests not just what you know, but how confident you are that you know it.
00:05And so we are going to wager our points.
00:08You're going to weight the questions based on the categories that you see.
00:11And then as you play, once you see the question, you can leverage your bet.
00:16This works just like any financial leverage.
00:19Triple your score, double your score, or hedge it in half.
00:23And in Pointed, if you answer incorrectly, you will lose points.
00:27This is not just adding.
00:28So you're going to get to a category screen and, Ashley and Lucas.
00:32So we're doing five questions, right?
00:33Five questions, yes.
00:34You have 50 points of a pool to play around with.
00:38Movies, music, casting, video games, and stars.
00:42Where's your expertise?
00:45Yes, agreed.
00:46Okay, so music, bring it up.
00:48Bring movies and music all the way up.
00:51Okay, I'm not, yeah.
00:52Let's see what happens if we double both here.
00:54I feel like we're both weakest.
00:56We're going to have to give, we can't, we're going to have to give up all, we actually can
00:59only go to 15 with one of the top two.
01:01Okay, so choose which one you want.
01:02Would we want to go 15, 20 for movies or music?
01:05I think.
01:06You know movies.
01:07I have a, can I, can I use my one inside piece of Bloomberg knowledge to ask you a question
01:12about this?
01:13Sure.
01:13Now I just want to know what it is.
01:14Well, my understanding, and maybe you've changed it, is that historically the earlier questions
01:19are a little easier than the later questions.
01:22These questions are written by our quiz master, Amy Lucido, who has no mercy for you.
01:28Okay.
01:28So there is no easy to hard.
01:30Okay, well I still feel like movies is.
01:33Yeah, I think this is right.
01:34Okay.
01:35Feeling good?
01:35Yeah.
01:36All right.
01:37So we're going to start.
01:37Audience, are you're.
01:38So they're playing with the same weights?
01:40They're, no, they're making their own weights.
01:41Oh, okay.
01:42Sorry.
01:42They're going to try and beat, they're going to try and beat your score.
01:44All right?
01:45Here we go.
01:45Question one.
01:47Don't forget to use your leverages on these.
01:48I think your first two questions were the, the big questions, right?
01:51So don't forget to use your leverages on them.
01:52All right.
01:5220 points.
01:54K-pop demon hunters.
01:55Okay.
01:55Was the surprise Netflix phenomenon of the year?
01:58Triple red notice.
02:00Triple red notice.
02:01Would you like me to finish the question or no?
02:03All right, audience.
02:04All right.
02:04Get your.
02:05I gave everyone this.
02:06Why the red notice?
02:07This is what I cover for a living.
02:09Okay.
02:09So red notice is Lucas's guess for the first, uh, for what was formerly number one.
02:14Do you have any difference of opinion, Ashley?
02:15No.
02:16Okay.
02:16Red notice it is.
02:17That's 60 points for Ashley and Lucas.
02:20Question two, everyone, and then, you know, there's a little blurb that you can read in
02:24the audience.
02:25Uh, Palm Springs is Hulu.
02:26What happens if people are answering after us and just replicate what we do?
02:30I cannot control the ethics of your, of your audience.
02:33I'm sorry.
02:34It's very serious business.
02:35Question two.
02:36This is music.
02:3715 points.
02:38A modern country singer and rapper shares a stage name with an early 20th century pianist
02:43who says he invented jazz.
02:45That person's name is Ferdinand Joseph Morton.
02:47That is the jazz inventor.
02:49The modern musician was born Jason Bradley DeFord.
02:53What song does Jason Bradley DeFord sing?
02:56It's got to be the only one we know.
02:59I actually feel like it's me.
03:02Oh.
03:03I think it's Jelly Roll.
03:05Is that Jelly Roll's name?
03:07Man, music was hard.
03:08And then I'm now realizing Sunflower is Post Malone.
03:11Oh, shoot.
03:14Who would share a stage name with a jazz inventor?
03:18When the music stops, we can't.
03:21Share a stage name.
03:23Oh.
03:24It's, uh, it's Jelly Roll because it's, it's yes.
03:27So I think.
03:28Which song is Jelly Roll's song?
03:29I think it's B.
03:30I don't know his discography.
03:32I think B.
03:33Okay.
03:33Are we, are we leveraging here?
03:35I think we should save our leverage.
03:36Yeah.
03:36Even though we have more points on that.
03:38Well.
03:38I'm not confident.
03:39Are you confident in it?
03:40No.
03:42Maybe.
03:42Let's just go for it.
03:44Who cares?
03:44B.
03:45We're doing B.
03:45No leverage.
03:46Do we want to do half?
03:47Should we have?
03:47What?
03:47No, half means we're go ahead again.
03:49But this is so high up.
03:51But you could lose 15 points here, guys.
03:53Yes, no.
03:53Leverage, no.
03:54So then it's.
03:55Well, there is a famous jazz.
03:57Jelly Roll Morton is a jazz singer, which is why I'm now more confident that it is Jelly Roll.
04:01Yeah.
04:01And Jelly Roll's song is what?
04:02If you're confident that Son of a.
04:04I'm not 100% confident.
04:05I think we should just leave it as is.
04:07All right.
04:07And B is your answer.
04:08That's correct.
04:09You guys should have leveraged it.
04:11All right.
04:11You're up to 75.
04:14We'll fall short of the maximum as a result of this.
04:17All my stories about Jelly Roll are paying off.
04:19Good.
04:20There you go.
04:20All right.
04:21This is casting for five points.
04:23The studio was a big winner at the Emmys.
04:25Seth Rogen won four trophies.
04:27Three supporting stars were nominated.
04:30They have been in lots of things, but not everything.
04:33Which of these movies did not feature one of the three nominees, supporting nominees from
04:38the studio?
04:39A, Glass Onion and Knives Out Mystery.
04:41B, Suicide Squad.
04:43C, Best in Show.
04:44D, Barbie.
04:45This is where I have to...
04:48Okay.
04:48Well, C is out.
04:49Why is C out?
04:50It was Catherine O'Hara.
04:51Yeah.
04:51This is where I have to confess, I did not watch or like the studio.
04:54Oh.
04:54You liked it without...
04:56You did not like it without watching it.
04:57I watched the first two episodes, did not like it, and stopped watching it.
05:00Too close to home.
05:01No, I just didn't think it was funny.
05:05This is hard because I really have to remember all of these movies and their casts.
05:10Okay, so Seth Rogen...
05:12Was Seth Rogen in Barbie?
05:13Seth Rogen is not involved.
05:14These are just supportings.
05:14I've been paid with three supporting actors.
05:16Ike Barinholtz was one of them.
05:18Which of those is Ike Barinholtz in?
05:20I don't know.
05:21Was it Glass Onion?
05:23I don't know.
05:23I don't remember.
05:24All right, let's get an answer.
05:25The music is over.
05:26I'm going with...
05:27I think, no, Ike Barinholtz was in Barbie.
05:30I think Suicide Squad.
05:31Let's go Suicide Squad.
05:32Would you like to hedge?
05:33I'm not asking that because I think you're wrong.
05:35Would you like to hedge?
05:36You seem uncertain.
05:37I'm uncertain.
05:39Okay, we're hedging.
05:40And we're going Suicide Squad.
05:41You're wrong.
05:42It was Barbie.
05:44Ike Barinholtz was in Suicide Squad.
05:46O'Hara was in Best in Show.
05:49And...
05:50Bahan was in Glass Onion.
05:52All right.
05:52Question four.
05:54Uh-oh.
05:54This is video games.
05:55Five points.
05:56Team Cherry.
05:57It's a small game you see that made one of the most successful independent video games.
05:59You look confident, Ashley.
06:00Is that what that's...
06:01No, no.
06:01Let me be taking a deep breath.
06:02I think it's better than this one.
06:032X Silksong.
06:052X Silksong.
06:06We're going to finish reading the question.
06:07After seven years in development, the sequel was released.
06:10Its title contains the fiber produced by the Bombix Mori.
06:16Are you familiar with your Latin animal name?
06:19I'm just going off Jason Schreier coverage.
06:21Okay.
06:22And that is what?
06:23Silksong.
06:23And you would like to double it.
06:24Yeah.
06:25Ashley, any thoughts?
06:26If I'm wrong, I'm sorry, Jason.
06:27All right.
06:28There we go.
06:28Right.
06:29You are correct.
06:30Yeah.
06:30So you're up to 82.5.
06:35Last question.
06:36You're three out of four so far.
06:39Really?
06:39We should have doubled that music one.
06:41Stars.
06:41The following list of first names.
06:44All share something in common.
06:45Kirk, George, Christopher, Dean, Tom, Brandon, Henry, Tyler.
06:50That is a list.
06:52Someone joined the list in July of 2025.
06:55What was the first name of that person that now shares something in common with those stars?
07:05What is the list of?
07:07I mean, the only Kirk I can think of as a star is Douglas.
07:11Dean has got to be Dean Martin.
07:14But I don't know what all these people share.
07:18Nothing.
07:18We're out of hedges.
07:19It's going to be.
07:20Can we ask an audience?
07:21Sure.
07:22Let's play Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
07:23Yeah.
07:23We're changing this game.
07:25Who knows?
07:25Who has a thought on this one?
07:27Dave?
07:28Superman.
07:31Who's the star of Superman?
07:32Dave and Cornswit.
07:33Yeah.
07:33All right.
07:33We're going to go Dave and Cornswit.
07:34We cheated.
07:35There's an asterisk on this score.
07:37But it's correct.
07:38A7.5.
07:39Those are all Superman.
07:41Thank you to the audience.
07:42All right.
07:43So, 87.5.
07:44Guys, that was...
07:44Ben, you did very well.
07:45Is that good?
07:46You did very well.
07:48If we could bring up and see if you did better than the audience.
07:5092.5.
07:51The average score in the audience is negative six, which you can see behind you guys.
07:55Oh, my God.
07:56Appreciate all of your bravery.
07:59So, you're sitting pretty.
08:00You're in the top percentiles.
08:02Very nice, guys.
08:03You're in the top of your mind.
08:04I'm going to go.
08:05You're in the top.
08:05I'm going to go.
08:06So, you're in the top.
08:06I'm going to go.
08:06You're in the top.
08:07All right.
08:08I'm going to go.
08:08I'm going to go.
