00:00All right, welcome back. Now for this weekend's Pointed...
00:02Have you had that drink yet? Either of you?
00:05No.
00:07She's going for it.
00:08Now for this weekend's Pointed News Quiz.
00:12It's tasty. It's very sweet.
00:13I also have my emotional support, French fries.
00:16Lisa is going to go through our Pointed News Quiz,
00:19and I am going to try to retain my streak of beating David Gurra.
00:22I think that streak's been broken in recent weeks.
00:23It's not been good. It's not been a good run.
00:25So Lisa, I'm looking at you. I'm looking at you.
00:27Regain.
00:28I'm going to hook you up, okay?
00:29If you're two women on the show, I need you to telepath me some answers here.
00:32Girl power. Okay, here we go.
00:34Three categories. Are you ready?
00:36If you're playing at home, we ask them three categories.
00:38They have 30 chips in front of them,
00:40and they place their bets depending on how confident they feel about each category.
00:44All right, so the first category is retail.
00:47Retail, okay.
00:48Second is crypto, and third is obituaries.
00:52Obituaries.
00:52Yes.
00:53Ending on a high note, Lisa.
00:54Now you've had this streak where you go 10 across the board.
00:57Yeah, I'm going to stick with that, I think.
00:59Yeah, because it wasn't working, and now that he's stolen my tactic, he's beating me.
01:03And I'm going to emulate it thus, because it actually has boosted my confidence greatly,
01:08and I've won, I think, two weeks in a row.
01:10I have emotional support, French fries.
01:11You can't hurt me today.
01:12Lisa, what we got?
01:12Okay, let's start with retail.
01:14Retail.
01:15Chinese e-commerce giant, Xi'an, is acquiring which San Francisco-based retailer for $100 million?
01:23I feel like David knows this one, too.
01:24I know, you were just talking about this the other day.
01:26I know women.
01:26I literally was, I pitched a segment on this, yeah.
01:28This is like the fight in my house.
01:30I say, Xi'an, my daughter says, no, it's Xi'an.
01:32No, it's Xi'an.
01:33Oh, okay.
01:33Yeah, I think that's right.
01:34Correct.
01:35Mom is always right.
01:36I'm going to always be on Mama Mateo over here.
01:38Mama Mateo's correct.
01:39Let's flip it and see if you guys.
01:41Everlane.
01:41Very good.
01:42Yes, you both have it.
01:44They're buying it for about $100 million.
01:45Tell me about this brand, because I confess, I don't know what Everlane is.
01:48It was really big a couple years ago, and it's big thing was sustainable fashion, and
01:52it's gotten less and less sustainable, and the quality, in my opinion, as someone who
01:56used to buy it, has gone down a lot, and now they are selling to one of the most
02:00legendarily unsustainable companies.
02:02Yeah.
02:02I know the buzzwords.
02:04You're doing so well.
02:05Thanks for that.
02:05It's a very controversial.
02:06Are we tied?
02:06So are you sad about this?
02:07You're sad about that?
02:08I stopped talking there a couple years ago.
02:09Your stages of grief have surpassed this already.
02:11Yeah, as did most of my friends.
02:12So good luck to them.
02:14Sure, daughter, good, Everlane.
02:14We've got Xi'an packages coming to our door all the time.
02:17All the way from Shenzhen and other far-flung cities in China.
02:20All right.
02:21It is.
02:21All right.
02:22You want to go to crypto?
02:22Absolutely.
02:23You're feeling confident.
02:23I'm feeling so confident.
02:24Yeah.
02:25Okay.
02:25Okay.
02:25Okay, here we go.
02:26Before Bitcoin Depot had filed for bankruptcy, it was once North America's largest operator
02:32of which crypto transaction tool?
02:35What's the name of that tool?
02:37Because I thought this was so weird.
02:38Yes.
02:40Crypto transaction tool.
02:42Yes.
02:43The largest operator of which crypto transaction tool?
02:47Fine.
02:47All right.
02:48You want to try it?
02:49I'm ready.
02:49Okay.
02:50Blockchain.
02:50Blockchain?
02:51No, Christina?
02:51It's ATMs.
02:52Yes, it is.
02:54Wow.
02:54Is it that people just don't need it to be cash anymore?
02:56They were the largest operator of crypto ATMs.
02:59You know, I've always enjoyed seeing those and wonder who actually uses them.
03:02Apparently no one.
03:03I don't know.
03:03They're just saying the business model is not sustainable anymore.
03:06Well, I could have told them that.
03:07Nobody asked me.
03:08I use an ATM all the time.
03:09I do.
03:10I don't use like a Bitcoin ATM though.
03:11Exactly.
03:12You guys carry cash like regularly?
03:14Yeah.
03:15You know, I've got a tip.
03:16A couple bucks for tips.
03:17Exactly.
03:18My kid goes to lunch.
03:18I have to pay for his out to lunch.
03:20In cash?
03:21Oh.
03:21Yes.
03:22Oh, wow.
03:22Oh.
03:23My daughter just uses the Apple page.
03:24Oh, no.
03:25See?
03:26Brooklyn.
03:27Slippery slope.
03:28We've got to learn how to tell time.
03:29We talked about that earlier.
03:30Yes.
03:30With an analog watch.
03:32And you've got to learn how to count your change.
03:34I think that's smart.
03:34Or you can be taken advantage of in a retail setting.
03:36This is a good point.
03:37All right.
03:38All right.
03:39We're even.
03:39Sorry.
03:39I lost that one.
03:40Take those ten.
03:41Oh, no.
03:41Oh, no.
03:42You lost.
03:42Oh, yes.
03:43I lost.
03:43Sorry.
03:44Yeah.
03:44I don't want to count to be unfair.
03:45All right.
03:46Christina.
03:47You're up.
03:47Lisa.
03:47Lisa.
03:47Okay.
03:48Okay.
03:48Here we go.
03:49Obituaries.
03:49This one.
03:50I'm not feeling good about this conversation.
03:50Okay.
03:52Obituaries.
03:52Here we go.
03:53Democratic Representative Barney Frank died on May 20th.
03:56Oh, okay.
03:56What year was he first elected to Congress?
04:00Well, that's ridiculous.
04:01Okay.
04:02It was an easier question, but they changed it to make it harder for you guys.
04:05Control room.
04:08What year?
04:10Okay.
04:10Okay.
04:11I can accept two answers.
04:12Two answers?
04:13I have absolutely no idea.
04:14What does that mean?
04:14If you get close to it, maybe I'll throw you a chip or two.
04:18Okay.
04:18Great.
04:19I'm ready.
04:201978.
04:2178?
04:21I said 1987.
04:22Oh, it's 1980.
04:24Oh, I feel very close.
04:26This is like if we were a competing game show.
04:29I got the lower number.
04:31You know, it's like the $1.
04:32Just give her your chips.
04:34So, the election was actually in 1980.
04:36He began the term on January 3rd, 1981.
04:39So, either one I would have taken.
04:41Well.
04:41Who do we got here?
04:42Closing, closing.
04:43Okay.
04:43Christina's up, up, up, up, up.
04:45All right.
04:45We got a bonus question.
04:46We got the bonus, and it's beauty, girl.
04:48Yes.
04:49Sorry, David.
04:52I can't wait.
04:53We'll get Elena Papina back.
04:54We'll do, like, an investigation of the dramatic collusion that's been happening in this game.
04:58I feel like we'll get the equities team in here.
04:58Jessica, because you're losing doesn't mean I'm cheating.
05:00Lisa, continue.
05:01We're happy.
05:01We got burgers and fries.
05:03Beauty.
05:03Okay.
05:04South Korean beauty giant.
05:05What young is coming to the U.S.?
05:09Its name contains a food that comes in a manzanilla variety.
05:14Oh.
05:15Wait, that comes in what?
05:17I don't know.
05:18It comes in a manzanilla variety.
05:21I have absolutely no idea.
05:23So, beauty giant, blank young.
05:27Okay.
05:27Okay.
05:28No, that doesn't.
05:29I know.
05:29I didn't know.
05:30I feel.
05:30I'm going to write.
05:32It's coming to the U.S.
05:32How about face?
05:33Face beauty.
05:34No, no, no, no.
05:35Oh, she's erasing.
05:36She's erasing.
05:37Wait, wait.
05:38Blank young.
05:38You can't erase.
05:39You showed yours already.
05:40I'm done.
05:40Soul?
05:41Soul.
05:42Soul, no.
05:43Olive young.
05:43Olive.
05:44No.
05:44Manzanilla olives.
05:46No, no, no.
05:46Nothing but happy to have some more K-beauty.
05:49Korean beauty, man.
05:49I know.
05:50More K-beauty.
05:50All right.
05:51Well, we're going to forget this happened.
05:54I'm going to blame it on this fluorescent soda that you guys have been drinking here.
05:58I'm going to put my neon orange chips for our radio listeners next to my neon blue soda,
06:03and I'm going to take a victory sip.
06:05There we go.
06:06We're going to check your sugar levels.
06:08Lisa, thank you very much.
06:08I'm going back to my burger.
06:09All right.
06:09You enjoy.
06:10You can test your knowledge on all ten questions.
06:12If these three were enough, there are seven more.
06:14Or you can take the pointed news quiz at Bloomberg.com slash pointed.
