00:00It is that time for the news quiz. The news quiz for risk takers. Yes, you guys. You're ready for
00:04it. I'm ready. We have the categories. I'm very nervous this week, Lisa. You're very nervous. Don't be nervous. Explain
00:09once again, just because my memory is short and perhaps the audience's as well, what we're going to be doing
00:13here. So this is pointed. Okay, so you each have 30 chips in front of you. Yes. Okay. Christina has
00:1830. David has 30. Yeah. I'm going to propose a question. There are three categories. Okay. You have to bet
00:24your wagers based on those categories. The confidence that I have in my knowledge of those categories.
00:30Correct. Okay. So if you feel really good about that first category, I don't know if you want to bet
00:34at all, but you know, she knows how badly I performed over the last two weeks.
00:37But now I'm scared because I overheard our producer working on this and he was like, oh, they're, these are
00:41all too easy or really, really hard. We can't make them too easy. And I was like, well, don't make
00:45them that hard. So I don't know. I'm, I'm shook. I'm shook. Let's see how it goes.
00:48She's shook. What are the categories? There we go for the categories. All right. So let's get right to it.
00:52Three categories are diplomacy. That is the first one.
00:55All right. Bankruptcy is number two and Oscars is number three. So wait. Oh, he's going heavy on the Oscars.
01:04Despite not having seen, I did. I saw a movie. I saw a movie. What did you see?
01:11Okay. Very good. Based on a Dennis Johnson novel, but not one of the marquee favorites standouts of the night.
01:17It's in your queue. Anyways, I did watch the Oscars. I'm going to go 20 on that and 10 on
01:21diplomacy.
01:22All right. I'm hoping I don't embarrass myself. I'm going to. Oh, you're going 20. I'm nobody. Nobody's excited about
01:2720 on diplomacies. I'm not confident in bankruptcies. And then I will hopefully not.
01:32No one's confident in bankruptcies. No, no. Including the companies that are going bankrupt. No, no one's confident. All right.
01:36Are you ready for your first question?
01:38First question. Okay. You have your whiteboards. You have your pens. Get ready. Here it is. Okay.
01:41My expo dry erase is open. Diplomacy. Let's start there. Okay. The question is, this week, the Taoiseach made a
01:50traditional visit to the White House. Which country does he lead?
01:54Taoiseach. Can I ask you to spell it? And that will just give it away for the world here.
01:58Would you like a spelling? Oh, no. He's looking. He's going. He's going.
02:03Oh, you guys. I even see like little pictures that you're doing here too. I'm peeping over it.
02:09Yeah. Okay. I'm ready. I think so. Okay. All right. Let's flip it. Okay. He's Irish.
02:14You both say Irish. What country? Oh, sorry. Did I not listen carefully? He's fine.
02:19It's just a failing of mine. We'll give it to you. Oh, Lisa, thank you so much.
02:22I know that that could have been overruled on a technicality.
02:25All right. So, Christina keeps her 20. Deirdre keeps her 10. We should have said who had the better shamrock
02:29illustration.
02:30I think they were both not good. For our radio listeners, you did not miss much.
02:33But he is. Yes. The prime minister, ironically, called the Taoiseach. He met with President Trump, you know, St. Patrick's
02:38Day.
02:38A bowl of shamrocks was given. The meeting was okay. You know, he did defend British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
02:45Yes, I saw that. After President Trump criticized him. But other than that, it was a wonderful meeting.
02:50Fountain was bright green. Now, this is not the guy who has the dog, right?
02:52That's the president who had the dog. He went around with him everywhere. I think he's out of the office
02:56now.
02:56Stay tuned for our next hour when we get into the intricacies of the Irish government.
03:00Sorry. Continue, Lisa. Please quiz us on bankruptcies.
03:02Are we ready for bankruptcies?
03:03Bankruptcies. Question number two.
03:04But you didn't bet anything, either of you. Okay.
03:06All right. Which company that produces a fiber sometimes called Elastane has filed for Chapter 11?
03:14Yes. We're naming the fiber or the company or both?
03:17Which company that produces the fiber sometimes called Elastane has filed for Chapter 11?
03:25So what is the company that produces that fiber?
03:28I haven't. My God.
03:33Okay. I don't know. I really don't know.
03:35I have to pick one. I have to pick one. Okay. I'm going to pick this one. Okay.
03:38I wrote Chapter 11 Incorporated. I don't know. I really have no idea.
03:42That's a good guess. Good guess, Rob.
03:43What do you have?
03:43Lycra.
03:44Lycra. Yes, that is.
03:45Wait, really?
03:47I can't. You don't get any points for it, but that was great.
03:49I will relish that she got no points for that.
03:50I thought it was spandex, and then I thought, oh, okay.
03:53No, the parent company.
03:54Yes, the maker of spandex. Okay, so Lycra, the maker of spandex.
03:57Oh, those are the same company.
03:57You know, struggling with the supply chain issues since the pandemic.
04:00But, again, inflation, tariffs, a lot has affected the company, so that's why.
04:04I think the lack of leggings in David Gurra's life put him at a disadvantage for this.
04:09Yeah. No, I don't tend to wear them.
04:10No?
04:11Unless I'm on a winter's run.
04:14All right. Are you ready for Oscars? I think we're going to do a lot better in this.
04:17Yes, Oscars.
04:18Although Christina's on a roll.
04:19All right. Oscars. Here we go.
04:21So the two films that took home the most Oscars were both distributed by which studio?
04:27So which studio?
04:30Okay. Christina betted 10. David went all in on 20.
04:34Yeah. I'm all in on this.
04:36I'm not feeling good about this.
04:37You're not feeling good? Okay.
04:39Me and the Animaniacs.
04:40Are you...
04:40Oh, well, okay.
04:43Live it. There you go.
04:44Warrior Brothers. Warrior Brothers.
04:46Living in the water tower.
04:48MGM. Christina, you've got to hand over your 10 to Mateo.
04:51I believe MGM was the subject of a joke by one Conan O'Brien because MGM is now Amazon's company,
04:57and I don't think they had any combination.
04:58No.
04:59They also are the producers of Project Hail Mary.
05:02We thank them for that.
05:03Let's break down, okay, the awards.
05:05So they took home 11 Oscars, right?
05:07Yes.
05:07Six for one battle after another, four for Sinners, and one for the horror film Weapons,
05:11which I haven't even seen.
05:13I haven't seen that one.
05:13Well, that was, you know, did you watch the Oscars?
05:17Oh, I didn't.
05:18No.
05:18Okay, anyways.
05:19I watched the Oscars.
05:19There was a whole send-up of it, but anyways.
05:21With the character from Weapons.
05:22Yes.
05:23Because then she won.
05:24Anyway.
05:24All right.
05:25All right.
05:25Is there a bonus?
05:25David, you're ahead.
05:26I know.
05:27Hold on.
05:2810.
05:28Oh, 20, 20.
05:29Wait.
05:30Okay.
05:31Are we?
05:31No, you've got 30.
05:32This is 30.
05:33I just wanted to stack them all there because we're here for the bonus round.
05:35All right.
05:36He's got 30.
05:36Christina's got 20.
05:37We're going to go for the bonus.
05:38All right.
05:38Here we go.
05:38Okay, ready?
05:3990 seconds.
05:39Let's go for the bonus.
05:40I'm going to lose my winning streak because it's very upsetting.
05:42Okay, here we go.
05:42We're going baseball.
05:43Oh.
05:44That is the category.
05:44Just give it to him now.
05:46All right.
05:46In the World Baseball Classic, Team Italy had a viral home run celebration consuming
05:51which product?
05:53What were they drinking?
05:54Wait, I know this one.
05:55It wasn't Negroni's.
05:56That would have been interesting, though.
05:58Would have been very, very interesting.
06:00All right.
06:01I wrote espressos.
06:02Espressos.
06:03Yes, David.
06:04Espresso it is.
06:05Lavazzo is espresso.
06:06Well, we didn't ask for the name brand.
06:08We didn't ask for the name brand.
06:10I object.
06:12They had a whole machine in their dugout.
06:15And they would, like, take shots of espresso.
06:16As someone whose last name is Ruffini, that is the most Italian thing ever.
06:19I know.
06:21Ruffini.
06:21Fine.
06:21Very good.
06:23David Guerra is the winner of this pointed.
06:26You guys, play along at home, too.
06:28It's a lot of fun, actually.
06:28Yes, you can find it where?
06:30Bloomberg.com?
06:30Yeah, Bloomberg.com.
06:31And you get multiple choice at home.
06:32You don't have to just come up with the answer.
06:33You do.
06:34You get a little bit of help.
06:35Multiple choice.
06:36It's a fun game.
06:36Go try it out.
