00:00It's now time for this weekend's Pointed News Quiz on the road this weekend in the nation's
00:04capital with another guest competitor.
00:06Who do we have with us, Christina?
00:07It's Jeffy Jeff, Jeff Mason.
00:09Jeffy Jeff.
00:09I want to win this game, but you have to tell me how it works.
00:12Oh, well, fortunately, Lisa Mateo is here.
00:15That is quiz master Lisa Mateo's job.
00:17She'll run you through it.
00:17All right, here's how it's going to work.
00:19Okay, so there are three categories, Jeff, okay?
00:21These are stories from the week, okay?
00:22So if you've been keeping up to date with them, you have, we used to have 30, now we
00:26have 12 because you're here, 12 chips in front of you.
00:29And what you do is, as I say, each category, think about how confident you are.
00:32Like, do you want to place all your bets on the first category?
00:35Or maybe do you want to spread them out evenly?
00:37You know, everybody has a difference.
00:38Let's do all White House stories.
00:40It doesn't work like that.
00:41Oh, darn it.
00:42Okay.
00:43But if you get it wrong and you place your chips, I get those chips.
00:46So you lose them.
00:47Yes, very sad.
00:48If you get it right, you keep them, okay?
00:49All right, you ready to play?
00:50There's all for the bonus round as well.
00:51And there's a bonus round.
00:52Okay.
00:53That's the best part.
00:53All right.
00:54Okay, here are your categories.
00:55Okay, first category is insurance.
00:57Great.
00:58Second category is crypto.
01:01Okay.
01:02And third category is media.
01:04All right, great.
01:04So where are we placing our bets?
01:06I think this might be David Gurra's week, finally.
01:09You think so?
01:09I think it is.
01:10I feel like you're a secret insurance spiend.
01:13Insurance spiend.
01:13I am not.
01:15I'm going to split evenly and pray to the news gods.
01:18All right, split evenly?
01:19Putting most of my chips into media.
01:21I like that.
01:21Most on media.
01:23Most on media?
01:24Okay, okay.
01:24And that's half the other two.
01:25And you're putting none on the first insurance.
01:27No, no, no.
01:27It's customary for me to skip the first category.
01:29Okay.
01:29Oh, interesting.
01:30You're getting into it.
01:31Yeah.
01:31Let's get to the question.
01:32Okay, insurance.
01:32Here's the question for insurance.
01:34Live event organizers are using which bespoke form of insurance to protect against nature-related
01:40losses?
01:40Wow.
01:41So what is that type of insurance called?
01:44Wait, this isn't, like, multiple choice?
01:47No, it's multiple choice.
01:48It's Jeopardy style.
01:49What?
01:49If you play it online, they do give you multiple choice.
01:52So if you want to play it online.
01:53But this is the real world.
01:54It's not online, Jeff.
01:55So you've got to use your-
01:56But here in the studio, we give you no choices.
01:58I don't even know if this is a real word.
01:59I have no idea.
02:01So again, live event organizers are using which form of insurance to protect against
02:04nature-related losses?
02:05Do we have answers written on your boards?
02:07Yeah, yeah.
02:07Okay.
02:07I'm going to put you down.
02:08Wait a second.
02:09Oh, she's crossing off.
02:10She's crossing off.
02:11She's trying another route.
02:12Oh, Christine is ready.
02:13All right.
02:13I don't think that's right either.
02:14Are you ready?
02:15Okay.
02:15Okay.
02:15Flip it.
02:15David Reveal, what did you put?
02:16I wrote active dot or force majeure.
02:17I wrote force majeure.
02:19Force majeure?
02:19I wrote disaster coverage.
02:21Disaster coverage.
02:22It's called parametric insurance.
02:25Lisa Mateo, I'm telling you.
02:27Did you know that actually Bad Bunny used it in his concerts in case they get
02:30rained out?
02:31So parametric insurance?
02:33Parametric insurance.
02:34You want to hand over your chips.
02:35Who knew?
02:35Hand over the chips.
02:36Reluctantly.
02:37So at the moment, since David didn't bet on that, he's doing better than us.
02:40We're losing.
02:41We've got to pull it together, man.
02:42I'm acceptable.
02:43I agree.
02:44I've never lost to him.
02:45If I lose to him, it's going to be you.
02:46All right.
02:47It's going to be great.
02:47It's going to be great.
02:48We'll never go back to New York.
02:49But I think I might get you on crypto.
02:51I don't know.
02:51We'll see.
02:52Crypto is the next category.
02:53Crypto.
02:54Digital currency.
02:55And you put, okay, you place a bed.
02:56Good.
02:58Okay, crypto billionaire Justin Sun is suing which crypto company, saying it is on the
03:04verge of collapse.
03:06What is the name of that crypto company?
03:11His name?
03:13Crypto billionaire Justin Sun.
03:14He's suing this company.
03:16What is the name of that company?
03:18Okay.
03:19Jeff, you're not writing anything.
03:20Jeff, do you like the music?
03:22Jeff likes the music.
03:23I can tell.
03:24He does.
03:24It's great.
03:25It's soothing.
03:26Yes.
03:26Okay.
03:27Are we got our answers?
03:28Let's flip it.
03:28Okay.
03:29World Liberty Financial.
03:30Oh, I said Dogecoin.
03:32No idea.
03:32Jeff Mason.
03:33That's definitely not the winner.
03:35You have a chance.
03:37David Garra.
03:38Ding, ding, ding.
03:39This is his time.
03:41I fought for you to come on this quiz, man.
03:43Wait, this is not my fault.
03:44You didn't know the answer either.
03:46It's absolutely your fault.
03:47It can't be my fault.
03:48It's got to be your fault.
03:49I am getting my little tips up here.
03:50All right, Lisa, we've got two minutes left.
03:51All right, here we go.
03:52Next one.
03:53Media.
03:55Media.
03:55You can make up for it here.
03:56Here we go.
03:57I knew this was going to happen.
03:59Satirical news brand, The Onion, trying to license the intellectual property of which
04:04website?
04:05I have to remember the name of it.
04:06It's, um...
04:07Oh, it's on the tip of your tongue.
04:08Come on, come on, come on.
04:09There we go.
04:09I got it.
04:10I got it.
04:10I got it.
04:10It comes to work.
04:11It comes to work.
04:11Okay.
04:12I got it.
04:13What is the name of that website?
04:15Yeah.
04:15Thank goodness.
04:17Jeff Mason's on it.
04:18Sorry.
04:18Flip it.
04:19Info Wars.
04:20Info Wars.
04:20Info Wars.
04:24Good try, Jeff.
04:26I love that.
04:27Give me your chance.
04:27You are right.
04:28It is Info Wars.
04:30Info Wars.
04:31And they've changed the logo, and it's like a rainbow now, and it has the onion in the
04:34middle of it, because they, in the lawsuit, they won it.
04:37Oh, thank God.
04:38This is Ben Collins.
04:39He used to be a colleague at MSNBC way back when, but he's now the CEO of The Onion, and
04:43he has kind of engineered this entire purchase.
04:46It's a wild thing.
04:47That's a great job.
04:48Yeah.
04:48What did they get out of that?
04:49That's interesting.
04:51Us talking about it.
04:52Right.
04:53Here we are.
04:54Ding, ding, ding.
04:55Are you ready for a bonus?
04:56I certainly am, because I believe I've won the game.
04:58Then do I get all the chips?
05:00You've got zero right now.
05:01Can I come back with a bonus?
05:02I can't come back with a bonus.
05:03No, no, no.
05:03You can't.
05:04I think it's all been pre-ordained, but I've won the game.
05:07I'll give it to you anyway.
05:08I'll give it to you anyway.
05:09Okay.
05:09It's podcasters.
05:11Okay.
05:11Oh, yes.
05:12This is my day.
05:14Podcasters.
05:15Frigged.
05:16Frigged.
05:16Okay.
05:17Pull it together.
05:18Here we go.
05:18The company Unwell is in turmoil with staff turnover and an influencer feud.
05:25So, which podcast host is the co-CEO of that company, Unwell?
05:32Oh, no.
05:33Unwell.
05:34Not doing well.
05:36Not doing well, Unwell.
05:37It's the...
05:38It's No Year Podcaster's Day here on...
05:40So, which podcast host is the co-CEO of Unwell?
05:45Time is nigh.
05:46Oh.
05:47Jeff, you're not even trying.
05:48I'm leaving it.
05:49You're not even writing anything.
05:50I used my no-idea shit already.
05:54Alex Cooper.
05:54Okay.
05:55Alex Cooper?
05:56Yeah.
05:56I said, call me daddy Alex.
05:58I couldn't remember my last name.
05:59What?
06:00Alex Cooper.
06:00She gets credit for that?
06:01Yes, she gets credit for it.
06:02Just for what?
06:03Just for what?
06:04Alex, call your daddy Scribble.
06:06Call your daddy.
06:07Yes.
06:08The fourth most popular podcast in the U.S.
06:10She's leading with Alex.
06:11Ashley Parman, our colleague, wrote a big piece about this, and it's been a hit on the
06:15Terminal website.
06:16Check it out.
06:16I feel like this is the cycle of these young leaders who make all this money, and then it seems
06:21to happen across industries, right?
06:23So, I've heard.
06:23I can't speak from experience.
06:24Anyways, the Pointed News Quiz can be taken at Bloomberg.com slash Pointed.
