00:00Let's get to the quiz. Okay, so for those of you who have never played with us, here's how it
00:04works.
00:04They have 30 chips in front of them, 30 each, and they're going to base those poker chips.
00:08Yes, poker chips. There you go.
00:10And we have three categories, so they're going to base how much they're going to bet on each category.
00:15They're betting on a wager.
00:16How you feel confident about each category, all right?
00:20You've been doing the 10 across the board, David. It's been working for you.
00:22Well, I didn't do it last week. I did like 30 on one, and that was really stupid.
00:26So he learned his lesson.
00:28I'm going to go.
00:29Let's get to the categories.
00:30All right, what do we got? Hold on.
00:31AI is the first category.
00:33Second category is securities fraud, and third category is movies.
00:37So where do you feel more confident?
00:40I saw a securities fraud story, and I'm not sure I read it.
00:42I'm going to go to that there.
00:43I'm going to do.
00:44I'm doing my usual. I'm doing 10, 10, 10.
00:4610 on AI.
00:47Okay.
00:47None on securities fraud.
00:50And then 20 on movies.
00:51I'm not feeling great about that.
00:53Good strategy, good strategy.
00:54Okay, ready for your first question?
00:56So ready.
00:56Let's get to AI.
00:57Okay.
00:58Chip makers have discovered that the cooling ability of which lab-grown stone is superior
01:03to copper and aluminum.
01:05Woo-hoo.
01:06Lab-grown stone.
01:08Where have you been hearing a lot about lab-grown stone?
01:12I don't know.
01:12I drew a little visual aid for you.
01:14Really?
01:15I wrote crystals.
01:16I wrote crystals.
01:16Crystals.
01:17What did you do?
01:17Diamonds.
01:18Diamonds, David.
01:19Oh, for God's sake.
01:20Yes.
01:20Can AI get more expensive, please?
01:22Maybe.
01:23But shares of Chinese companies that produce those diamonds, they jumped as much as 50%
01:27in a matter of days because of this news.
01:29I hear you can't tell the difference now between lab-grown diamonds and the real thing.
01:32No, and I have to say, the diamond did fall out of my engagement ring when we were away
01:37in Washington, and I think I might be going to...
01:40I forgot this wild story, Lisa, and I never followed up on it.
01:43The diamond fell out and I lost it, so Mama Mateo may be going for the lab-grown replacement.
01:48Lisa!
01:48I feel so sad that that has remained lost.
01:51You mentioned that, and it was a chaotic weekend.
01:54All right, lab-grown, it's fine.
01:56If you found a diamond at the Washington Hilton, you can send it to the care of Bloomberg.
02:01Like, we'd have a bad enough weekend.
02:02Lisa also lost her brain.
02:04All right.
02:04Okay, securities fraud.
02:05Let's move on so I can forget about this.
02:07Oh, my gosh.
02:08Okay, investor Andrew Left was found guilty of securities fraud.
02:12Yeah.
02:12What trading strategy is Left best known for?
02:16What is the trading strategy called?
02:18It's definitely not because it was in a movie.
02:20Well, that's why she knows.
02:22Hey, whatever it takes.
02:23You know, I'm sad I put nothing on this, but...
02:26Yeah, that's okay.
02:26Go first.
02:27Short selling.
02:28Short selling.
02:29Oh, both of you.
02:30You got it right.
02:31Correct, correct, correct.
02:31Also, that story was absolutely everywhere.
02:33It was.
02:33He's found guilty of using social media posts to manipulate stocks, and that's the issue.
02:37That's a no-no.
02:38All right, so how are we doing on PointsWise?
02:40Oh, I have, like, all of my little chips here.
02:42David, are you missing some of your chips?
02:43I am missing 10 of them.
02:44David, you're missing a couple of your chips?
02:45Lisa, Matteo.
02:46Okay.
02:47We're ready for this next category.
02:47All right, you better hope you know this.
02:49You gave them to me.
02:50Okay.
02:50Movies.
02:51All right.
02:51This is where we're going to do good.
02:52Okay.
02:53Backrooms.
02:54Have you heard of the movie?
02:54Thank God.
02:55That's the title I couldn't remember.
02:56Yes.
02:56Okay, yes.
02:57It earned $118 million on its opening weekend.
03:00What genre of internet horror folklore is it based on?
03:05Oh, it's...
03:06Internet horror folklore?
03:07Oh, it's such a weird term.
03:09It's a weird name.
03:10It's a weird name?
03:12Yes.
03:12While I've lost it.
03:13It's a genre of internet horror folklore.
03:16What is it based on?
03:18I don't know if it's great.
03:19This is a tough one.
03:20I know.
03:20I know the movie.
03:22I literally saw this and thought, Lisa's going to use this for pointed, and I can't remember
03:26if I got it right.
03:26I wrote ScareTube.
03:28ScareTube?
03:28What did you write?
03:29It's...
03:30I couldn't remember if it's creepy spaghetti or creepy pasta.
03:32Creepy pasta?
03:33I got it right.
03:34You totally can't.
03:35Awesome.
03:36Okay, you have to explain this to me.
03:38I don't know what it is.
03:39I just saw the term.
03:40I don't understand what it is.
03:42It's called that because memes with the genre offerings spread via Control-C and Control-V,
03:45which is paste.
03:47So maybe...
03:48It's like Control-V duplicating it.
03:50I don't...
03:50Keyboard strokes?
03:51Maybe, because it's creepy.
03:52Copy-paste.
03:53Any stuff?
03:54Any younger people in our controller?
03:55Do you know what this is?
03:57I'm trying, people.
03:58I'm trying.
03:58The youngins.
03:58I'm really trying.
03:59The youngins, I know.
04:00Have you watched these movies?
04:01No, but Obsession was the other one from a YouTube filmmaker that my son was really talking
04:05about.
04:05He's like, you've got to see this movie.
04:07Do you have to see it?
04:07No.
04:08Yeah, I do know it started on YouTube, and it's now being distributed by A24, which
04:12is a very big company, and it's like, what, isn't it like the number one movie right
04:15now?
04:16It is really...
04:16You've seen none of these movies?
04:18No, I don't do like that kind of horror.
04:20I'll do like...
04:21Too scary.
04:22No, I just...
04:23Too gripping.
04:24Too emotionally heavy.
04:25I don't...
04:26Okay, you know what?
04:26Lisa, what's the bonus question?
04:27Too scary.
04:28All right.
04:28Bonus is protein.
04:30Yes.
04:30Okay.
04:32I'm so excited for this.
04:33I've got nothing to wager or live for here.
04:35Is this about...
04:36This is about a shortage?
04:38A dietary craze caused shortages of which cheese byproduct?
04:44Cheese byproduct.
04:44That's found in caramel protein lattes.
04:46Think about your nursery rhymes.
04:48High-protein waffles.
04:49Oh.
04:50Okay.
04:51I know this.
04:51You do?
04:51Oh, do you know this?
04:53Yeah, that's a pretty big hint.
04:54You don't...
04:55You're fine.
04:55Not so good, so you need it.
04:56I want you to feel included.
04:58Yeah.
04:59What is this cheese byproduct?
05:01Do you use this?
05:01Do you enjoy it?
05:02Oh, I enjoy it every morning.
05:04Your exercise routine?
05:04Yes.
05:05I've got to get better about this.
05:06Lisa yells at me about my protein intake all the time.
05:08There we go.
05:09Way.
05:10You guys are right.
05:11Yes.
05:11No way.
05:12How do you decide what to take of all of these things?
05:15What?
05:15For protein?
05:15Yeah.
05:16Well, yeah.
05:17I just see the tubs of this stuff.
05:18Yeah.
05:18Yeah.
05:19I go...
05:19I don't know.
05:20I look at, like, different things.
05:21Calories, too.
05:22How much sodium is in it sometimes, too.
05:24But it's all, like, the protein craze.
05:26So now, like, these companies are starting to alter what they put.
05:29Like, how much whey?
05:30Maybe we can find something else.
05:31Maybe they'll use pre-protein instead of, like, the whey protein.
05:34It's a lot.
05:35I have to say, I'm very suspicious of protein being in things that it doesn't need to be in.
05:39Like, not like a shake or a bar.
05:40But, like, yes, our EP just says Doritos.
05:42I don't need protein in my Doritos.
05:44Or you're a Starbucks.
05:45I don't need protein in my clear Starbucks drink.
05:47Like, I find that...
05:48I don't know.
05:49It seems too chemical-y for me.
05:50It's a marketing thing, I feel like.
05:52I don't know how effective it really is.
05:53If you say it has it, you'll buy it.
05:55Okay.
05:55So I'm going to just go home with all of my...
05:57Well, that happens.
05:57You can test your knowledge on all 10 questions.
05:59The Pointed News Quiz is available on the Bloomberg Christmas app.
06:02I'm going to keep making this out for our radio listeners.
06:04I'm slash pointed.
06:05I want to make sure our radio listeners...
06:06Do you want to thank our fine viewers and listeners for their attention?
