00:00All right, it's time now for this weekend's Pointed News Quiz.
00:04This might be your week.
00:05It might be my week.
00:06Yeah, I don't feel like I've been up on my random headlines that Lisa can torture us with.
00:10We'll see how kind Lisa Mateo is.
00:11Lisa Mateo is here.
00:12Lisa.
00:12Lisa.
00:13That's my job, guys.
00:14Okay, so those of you playing at home, if you're wondering why we have all these chips on the table,
00:18here's how it works.
00:19So they have 30 chips in front of them for you on radio.
00:21You can hear them rustling them nicely.
00:24They will place their bets on three different categories.
00:27So, you know, if you feel a little confident out of the first category,
00:30then you put more of your chips there.
00:31Or if you're like Christina, you just go 10 across the board each time,
00:34and it seems to be working.
00:35I like to hedge my lack of knowledge, so that's what we do.
00:38All right, are you ready for your category?
00:40Yeah, put them up there.
00:41Okay, let's go.
00:42So the first category is Reddit.
00:44Reddit.
00:45Yes.
00:45Social network.
00:47Oh, wait, I tried something about Reddit.
00:49I didn't read anything about that.
00:50I can't remember what it was, though.
00:51Okay.
00:52Think about it.
00:53The second category is music.
00:55Music.
00:55And the third category is YA novels, or young adult.
00:58Oh.
00:58Young adult novels.
00:59Gosh, take me back.
01:00So place your bets.
01:02What do you think?
01:03Reddit.
01:03Take me back what?
01:04To like last week when you were reading young adult fiction.
01:07Sorry, it was Reddit.
01:08Reddit first.
01:09Music second.
01:11YA novels.
01:11YA novels.
01:12You know, I'm going to do the Rafini 10-10-10 this time.
01:17It seems to work.
01:17It works very well.
01:18It's a very diverse number of categories.
01:20All right.
01:21It's the, yeah.
01:22I think you've heard this first story.
01:24Really?
01:24Are you ready?
01:24Here we go.
01:25I'm going to get annoyed if I can't remember what this was.
01:26Yeah.
01:27Traders on the Wall Street Bets subreddit chose which struggling fast food chain as the latest
01:33mean stock.
01:35I should have gone all in on this one.
01:36I can't remember which one it was.
01:38Hang on.
01:39Oh, that makes me so...
01:40It wasn't Arby's.
01:41It wasn't Pete's a hug.
01:41It always makes me angry when I know.
01:42When you know and you should have bet more.
01:44You know.
01:45Have confidence in yourself, David.
01:46Yeah.
01:47Well, you know.
01:49Okay.
01:49Are you ready?
01:50I'm ready.
01:50Okay, Dave, what do you say?
01:51Wendy's.
01:51Wendy's.
01:53Wendy's.
01:53You guys are correct.
01:54Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
01:55I thought I was going to get meds.
01:56So they urged traders to, quote, save Wendy's before it's too late.
02:00Okay?
02:01But it actually spiked the stock price.
02:03That's how the markets work.
02:04Yes, yes.
02:05I'm telling you.
02:06A little word.
02:07And a fun fact for you, for those who are Wendy's fans, Dave Thomas, you know the owner,
02:12appeared in all the commercials.
02:13He appeared in more than 800 advertising for the brand.
02:16I know him well.
02:17That is more than any other company founder in history.
02:19We're Paul Sweeney here with us.
02:20He's a graduate of the Fuqua School of Business at Duke.
02:22He would say that Dave Thomas endowed a lot of that business school.
02:25There's a Dave Thomas building on the Duke University campus.
02:27See, I used to love those commercials.
02:29I guess he's not, you know, obviously he's not around, but they're not doing anything
02:32with the founder anymore.
02:33No.
02:34Or the president.
02:34It's not very personal.
02:36Burger King fire the king, famously now.
02:38That's right.
02:39They've gotten rid of him.
02:40How sad.
02:40I don't know if that was a great idea.
02:41Well, I think they needed to.
02:42Bring back Dave Thomas.
02:43You've got to move on.
02:44All right, sorry.
02:44All right.
02:45The colonel still is at Kentucky Pride, right?
02:47Yes.
02:47Yes, of course.
02:48Music.
02:49Are you feeling confident about music?
02:50Okay.
02:51That's a David category.
02:51Let's see.
02:52Let's get to it.
02:53Clive Davis.
02:54Okay, so he passed away this week at 94.
02:56He launched Arista Records in 1974 after being pushed out by which record label?
03:02So where, what company did he get fired from before he started his new company?
03:08Okay.
03:09Ooh.
03:10I'm going to re-evaluate.
03:12I'm going to re-evaluate.
03:12You're going to re-evaluate?
03:13Oh, gosh.
03:15Okay.
03:16All right.
03:16I'm ready.
03:17You're seeing this confident.
03:18Yeah.
03:18No, I'm not.
03:19I just only have...
03:19I said RCA.
03:20That was my other guest.
03:21I said Motown.
03:22You should have kept it in Columbia.
03:24Oh!
03:25That's 30 years.
03:26She's sad.
03:26I was going to write RCA.
03:28She's sad.
03:29I was like, don't erase it.
03:31Don't erase it.
03:32It was Columbia.
03:33Oh, it was Columbia.
03:33He actually joined Columbia as a lawyer in 1960.
03:36He was appointed president seven years later, but then he was let go, but he went over
03:40to Arista, and Whitney Houston was the big, you know, name.
03:43Yes, of course.
03:43Yeah, that would help.
03:44That would be a little bit helpful.
03:45Did you just lose?
03:46Ten?
03:46Okay.
03:47All right.
03:47I will give up my chips.
03:48My goodness.
03:49I don't want viewers to be confused by the state of affairs.
03:52David Gurra.
03:53There you go.
03:53There you go.
03:54Okay.
03:54You guys are still tied.
03:55That's a good lesson.
03:55Going with your gut, I guess.
03:56I should have stuck with...
03:57Young Adult didn't, and now we're even.
04:00YA novels.
04:01All right.
04:01Young Adult novels.
04:02This is where you're going to pull through.
04:03Okay?
04:03Here we go.
04:05Okay.
04:06The country, Namibia, has denied Starlink a license.
04:11So Starlink's name...
04:12Here's a question for you.
04:14Starlink's name was inspired by what 2012 young adult novel?
04:19I have no idea.
04:21Not into those, huh?
04:21I actually have no idea.
04:22No, I'm not into those.
04:23Sorry.
04:23Kids don't have them on the shelf.
04:24It's been a while since I've been a young adult.
04:27Starlink's name inspired by what 2012 young adult novel?
04:31I don't know.
04:32I'm going to leave that.
04:33All right.
04:33I'm ready.
04:34What are you writing?
04:35What is that?
04:35I'm going to leave it blank.
04:36Blank.
04:36I have no idea.
04:37The Fault in Our Stars?
04:39The Fault in Our Stars.
04:39The Fault in Our Stars.
04:41It's the only one of the stars I can think of.
04:43Christina, yes.
04:44He said it in a Twitter post.
04:46So you actually did that.
04:47So it's John Green's novel.
04:48John Green.
04:48It comes from actually Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
04:50Oh.
04:51Who knew?
04:52Who did know?
04:52My dog is named Brutus.
04:54This is a quote I'm familiar with.
04:55All right.
04:55There we go.
04:56David, you're behind here.
04:57So this is your chance for redemption.
05:00Because we have a bonus.
05:01All right.
05:01You ready?
05:02I'm wrote, yes.
05:02The bonus category, though, is birthdays.
05:05Okay.
05:06Okay?
05:06I believe you both are going to nail this.
05:08The U.S. is marking its 250th anniversary.
05:12What is the term for this milestone?
05:16It's a long one, and you need to spell it correctly.
05:19Oh, it's got like 8,000 syllables in it.
05:20It's like a...
05:21You need to spell it correctly.
05:25250th anniversary.
05:26There was a term for that.
05:27I can't remember.
05:28I wrote...
05:29Wait, it's a...
05:30The week, the...
05:31Not yet, David.
05:32It's got to have sense in it.
05:34I can't remember.
05:36You can't.
05:37Sesquicentennial.
05:38Yes.
05:38Oh, yeah.
05:39I wrote like quinces and ten...
05:41No, I don't get that one.
05:41Sesquic...
05:42Hold up.
05:43Hold up.
05:43Snow.
05:44No, it's semi.
05:46Oh, semi, because it's not the...
05:47Correct.
05:49That is...
05:49Hand over to Chips.
05:50There you go.
05:51Take it.
05:51What's bonus?
05:51No, it was a bonus, Lisa.
05:53Anyway, all right.
05:54Come on.
05:55All right.
05:55Always a pleasure.
05:56Thank you, Lisa Mateo.
05:58But we have a lot of 250 stuff going on.
06:00Yeah, we do.
06:00More on that in just one moment.
06:02But first, test your knowledge on all 10 questions.
06:05Take the pointed news quiz at bloomberg.com slash pointed, where it's multiple choice.
06:09Remember, it is multiple choice.
06:10It is less difficult, but, you know, less fun for Lisa because she doesn't get to torture
06:14you like she does us.
06:15Yeah, well, torture away.
