00:00Well, it's time for my favorite part of the show.
00:02That is Pointed, the news quiz for risk takers right here on Bloomberg this weekend.
00:05We've narrowed down the larger quiz that you can play online to three categories.
00:09And Lisa is going to test our knowledge.
00:11And I'm sorry, who is currently leading?
00:13You are in fact leading by a one-point margin.
00:16It is still anyone's game.
00:17I'm very nervous about this, though.
00:18I did overhear them saying how hard the quiz was this week.
00:21So this is going to be your week, David Gurra.
00:23This is going to be a good one, guys.
00:24OK, so for those of you at home who are like, what are you talking about?
00:27Pointed?
00:28OK, so here's exactly how it works.
00:30In front of David and Christina, they each have 30 chips, OK?
00:33So they've split it up, and they have three categories.
00:36And they're going to place their bets depending on how they feel,
00:39how confident they feel about each category.
00:41This is for a radio audience.
00:43No, it's for a radio audience.
00:44Here we go.
00:45Really the sound effect.
00:46She does.
00:46OK, so we've got everyone covered.
00:48You're not intimidating me.
00:49Are you ready for the categories?
00:49I'm sorry, Lisa, yes.
00:50Yes, please.
00:52Ready, David.
00:52OK, the first category is ammunition.
00:55Ammunition.
00:56The second category is trade.
00:58And the third category is hoarding.
01:01Hoarding.
01:01Hoarding.
01:02So it's quite a category.
01:03So place your bets depending on how confident you feel.
01:07Where are you going as far as ammunition?
01:08What do you think?
01:09I'm going to go none on ammunition.
01:12OK.
01:13I'm going to go double on trade.
01:16And then hoarding, I have no expertise, but I'm interested.
01:21I'm going to split across the board because I don't feel overly confident in any of these
01:24categories.
01:24So I'm doing 10, 10 and 10.
01:26Excellent.
01:26All right.
01:27Are you ready for your first question?
01:28Yes, we're ready.
01:28It's a very evil look.
01:29Ammunition.
01:30Oh, I'm excited about this.
01:30How hard do you think this is?
01:31We've got to do it.
01:32This is the hardest week.
01:33I only got one of them, so.
01:34Oh, great.
01:35Sorry.
01:35All right.
01:36OK, here we go.
01:37Ammunition.
01:38Arms manufacturer ZVS was once a Cold War casualty, but is being revitalized in which European
01:45nation, which European nation is it starting to get back into it and see a surge?
01:53It's actually the world's biggest car producer per capita.
01:56Oh, I just got that wrong.
01:58Hold on.
01:58Thank you for that.
01:59That was very good.
02:00Did I change your idea?
02:03Yeah.
02:03I gave you a little help.
02:04All right.
02:05Now I have no idea of it.
02:06Yeah.
02:06Did it help you?
02:07OK.
02:08Car producer.
02:08You ready?
02:09Go ahead.
02:10Flip it.
02:11Three, two, one.
02:11Germany.
02:12No.
02:14They make a lot of cars.
02:15They make cars in Slovakia, right?
02:16They make cars in Slovakia?
02:18That's what threw me.
02:19How did you know that?
02:20I had no.
02:20Because I read something about the arms manufacturer, but I had cars?
02:24Cars.
02:25The world's biggest car producer per capita.
02:27Slovakia.
02:28Per capita.
02:28Yes.
02:29Oh, for God.
02:29See, I confused you there, David.
02:31Thank God I didn't put any chips on that one.
02:32But what is a Slovakian car?
02:34I mean, it's not a Yugo.
02:35They don't make those anymore.
02:36But actually, they have been ramping up their ammunition output.
02:38Some 30,000 before NATO started ramping up that Ukraine-Russia war full invasion.
02:45In 2022.
02:46So you bet 10.
02:47Yeah, it's one of those places they're getting those big shells.
02:49Correct.
02:50Yeah.
02:50You bet 10.
02:51So you keep your 10.
02:52David, you got nothing.
02:53You bet nothing.
02:53You bet nothing.
02:54Okay.
02:54Darn it.
02:55You know, all right.
02:55It's a free move on that part.
02:57All right.
02:57I'm going to get you in trade.
02:58Trade.
02:59So that got me nothing.
03:00All right.
03:00Here we go.
03:01Play along at home.
03:01Due to national security concerns, the FCC is banning imports of foreign-based, foreign-produced models of which product?
03:09Do you know this one?
03:10Because my brother's a nerd.
03:11She's also talking a lot about this.
03:12Yeah.
03:13Ah.
03:13So you both know.
03:14Though I didn't read up on this.
03:15I just know from Christina's talking about it.
03:17See?
03:18Sometimes I'm helpful.
03:18Sometimes he listens, Christina.
03:21Only occasionally.
03:22Intermittently.
03:23Let's go.
03:23Okay.
03:24Flip it.
03:24What do you got?
03:25All right.
03:25Routers.
03:26Routers.
03:26Wireless routers.
03:27Correct.
03:28We both get it.
03:29You both get it.
03:30Thanks, Joey.
03:30Let's see.
03:31Cyber attacks.
03:31There's been a lot of talk about them for cyber attacks.
03:33Yes.
03:34All right.
03:34So you each have.
03:35Okay.
03:35So Christina has 20.
03:36Do you want to add anything to this before we move on?
03:37I mean, you've talked about it a lot.
03:38No?
03:39No.
03:39I mean, my brother's concern is there are really no domestically manufactured wireless routers at the moment.
03:44Of that next generation, they're all made overseas.
03:45So it is going to be a problem.
03:47Like, if we can't upgrade them, we can't get them from anywhere.
03:49I see.
03:49All right.
03:50That's the issue.
03:50Well, there is one company, Netgear.
03:52They might, um, investors might, you know, think because they, they moved them to their
03:55supply chain outside of China.
03:56So that might be one company.
03:58Here we go.
03:59It's the more, you know, and shooting star.
04:02Okay.
04:02Here we go.
04:03All right.
04:03Moving on to hoarding.
04:05Okay.
04:06Which household staple hoarded during the 1973 oil shock?
04:10Did Japan just warn shoppers not to buy in bulk?
04:15Is it the same thing we hoarded?
04:17It's a household staple.
04:18Hmm.
04:18I wonder.
04:19I don't know.
04:22It's a good thought.
04:23It's a good thought.
04:24This music is very good.
04:26You know?
04:26It's like soothing.
04:27It's very soothing.
04:28What are you writing?
04:29You're writing too much.
04:30You're writing too much.
04:31Okay.
04:32Okay.
04:32I wrote.
04:32Flip it.
04:33What did you write?
04:33Toilet paper, AKA bathroom tissue.
04:35I also just wrote toilet paper.
04:37You both got it right.
04:38Yay.
04:39Good job.
04:39Which leads to, I think, a tie.
04:41Oh, a tie.
04:42Yes.
04:42You know what that means if we're tied.
04:43There's got to be a bonus question.
04:45There's a bonus question.
04:45Oh, no.
04:46I was so close.
04:47Okay.
04:48You know, we have to take it to the bonus.
04:50Okay.
04:50The bonus is gaming.
04:52Gaming.
04:52Okay.
04:52This is not looking good.
04:53Okay.
04:53No, no, no.
04:54I think you got this, Christine.
04:55Okay.
04:57Fortnite's parent company.
04:58Cutting 1,000 jobs due to spending concerns.
05:02What is the name of the company?
05:04So, what is the name of Fortnite's parent company?
05:07I do know this.
05:08It's going to be a real tie.
05:10Uh-oh.
05:10What if you both get it right?
05:12Then we have a tie again.
05:14Then we have another breaker.
05:15We'll just leave.
05:16We'll just leave and date on.
05:18All right.
05:18Okay.
05:19Flip it.
05:19What do you got?
05:20Epic.
05:20Epic.
05:21Epic.
05:21Yes.
05:21Epic Games.
05:22The CEO said they're spending a lot of money, more than we're making.
05:25That's what they say.
05:26This is a North Carolina-based company.
05:27We end in a tie today.
05:28All right.
05:29That wasn't as bad as I thought.
05:30You guys said well.
05:31Thank you so much.
05:32We'll shake and be friends.
05:32Nice job, Lisa.
05:33Thank you to our production team as well.
05:36That's always fun.
05:37And you can always find the rest of the game?
05:38Yes.
05:39Yes.
05:39Yes.
05:39You too can do it.
05:40Bloomberg.com slash pointed.
05:42Play at home.
05:43At home.
05:43Hey, they give you some options.
05:45You have multiple choice.
05:46You don't have to write them on a whiteboard.
