00:01Well, it's time for one of my favorite moments of the show, the Pointed News Quiz.
00:04Now it's your favorite.
00:06I've got my chips arrayed on the table in front of me.
00:08Christina, counting hers up as well.
00:11Lisa Mateo here is with Quiz of the Week.
00:14Questions, what do you have?
00:15Questions.
00:16Okay, for those playing at home, here's how it works.
00:18Okay, so they each have 30 chips in front of them.
00:21They're broken into 30-ish.
00:22I was looking very tall today.
00:2430-ish.
00:26And what they will do is they will place their bets on each category.
00:30To figure out, you know, if you feel like you're confident about the first category,
00:34you might want to put all your chips on there.
00:36Or maybe you might want to not put something on the second category because you're like,
00:39eh, I don't think I know enough about it.
00:42So let's get right to it, okay?
00:43You ready to play along?
00:44I'm ready to play.
00:45Your three categories.
00:46Here we go.
00:47The first is trade wars.
00:49Yes, trade wars.
00:50Yes, the second is malls.
00:52Malls.
00:52Very good.
00:53And the third is outbreaks.
00:55Ooh, okay.
00:56So what do you know the most about?
00:58Quite a running the gambit there.
01:00Okay, I'm going to...
01:02Confident in malls.
01:02How are you placing your bets?
01:03You know, I haven't used the Rafini strategy in recent weeks.
01:05It has worked to my advantage.
01:07But today I'm going to lean on it.
01:08I'm going to go 10 on each.
01:0910 on each category.
01:10I'm also going to go 10 on each.
01:1210 on each.
01:13Come on, guys.
01:14If you let him cheat this week, I will follow you to your car.
01:17Okay, here we go.
01:18Here we go.
01:19Okay, trade wars.
01:19Here is your question.
01:20In a retaliatory move, China is limiting exports to the U.S. of what tech product commonly
01:26made by DJI?
01:30Did you hear this?
01:31So what is the name?
01:33DJI.
01:33Sorry.
01:34DJI.
01:35Limiting exports to the U.S. of what tech product commonly made by DJI?
01:41Ah, okay.
01:42What is this product called?
01:44I, okay.
01:45We need a hint?
01:46Yes.
01:46No, we do not.
01:47No, we do not.
01:48We do not need a hint.
01:49Yeah.
01:50All right.
01:51I rode microchips.
01:52Microchips?
01:53No.
01:54Drones.
01:55And she drove Victor.
01:56I even drew a little picture.
01:57Oh, look at that.
01:58You are correct.
01:59I know.
02:00So President Xi Jinping, he's scheduled to meet with Donald Trump in the U.S. next month.
02:03Yes.
02:04They agreed to build this relationship for constructive strategic stability.
02:08Strategery.
02:08Yes.
02:09So, yeah.
02:10Christina is up.
02:11All right.
02:11All right.
02:12David Gura.
02:12I gave you the chips.
02:13They also make very good wireless microphones with a lot of podcasters.
02:17DJI.
02:17Yeah, those little clip on ones that are the square.
02:19Those are DJI mics.
02:20They're very good.
02:20Oh.
02:21Do we use those?
02:22Are these DJI industry?
02:23This is not a DJI industry.
02:24No, no.
02:25This is more like if you're like a YouTuber.
02:26They're very popular.
02:27Not an endorsement.
02:28Not a paid endorsement.
02:29Not at all.
02:30All right.
02:31All right.
02:31Are you ready for malls?
02:32I feel sad.
02:33I feel good about this category.
02:35Christina, you're going to get this.
02:36Okay.
02:36Okay.
02:36Which edgy American mall staple is being sold to the parent company of Spencer's and Spirit
02:44Halloween?
02:46Spencer's?
02:46It's an edgy store that's in the mall.
02:48Yeah.
02:48Okay.
02:48But it's being sold to the parent company of Spencer's and Spirit.
02:52Is wet seal still in business?
02:54Gosh.
02:55I remember that.
02:56I'm going to say something, but I don't want to give him a hint again like I did last week,
02:59so I'm going to wait.
03:00I'm going to wait.
03:00Come on, David.
03:01Okay.
03:02All right.
03:03Edgy mall staple.
03:04An edgy store that maybe...
03:06I wrote Claire's.
03:07That's not edgy.
03:08What are you talking about?
03:09This is a place David Gurra has never shopped in his life.
03:12I believe it is Hot Topic.
03:14Hot Topic.
03:15You are correct.
03:15I thought Claire's was kind of edgy.
03:16Hot Topic and Spencer's were always next to each other.
03:19What is Hot Topic?
03:20I'm sorry.
03:21What is Hot Topic?
03:22It's more like goth.
03:22A little bit goth.
03:23What did you say?
03:24Right?
03:24It is 100% goth.
03:26I didn't even have a goth state.
03:26Yes.
03:27If you were an aspiring goth in Colorado Springs, Colorado, who went to Catholic school and had to wear uniforms,
03:32all you wanted in life was to dress in all the things your mother wouldn't let you buy at Hot
03:36Topic.
03:37If any Rafinis are watching the program and want to send in photographs of that era in your life,
03:42which may or may not be shown on air.
03:43None of the Rafinis are watching.
03:45They can't hear you.
03:45That would be amazing.
03:46No, it's cute, too.
03:48They're going to text my brother.
03:49Oh, Lord.
03:49Okay.
03:49David Gurra, I have 20 tips in front of me, and you've got 10 there.
03:53Yeah, you seem to be...
03:54Oh, look at all these little piles I have.
03:55Look how nice.
03:57It's the summer doldrum.
03:58I feel a little hubristic over there this morning.
04:00Okay.
04:00I think you're going to get this one.
04:01I'm not sure about this category.
04:03Okay, outbreaks.
04:04Which food is being blamed for a salmonella outbreak across 27 states?
04:10Varieties include TAM and Goliath.
04:13So what food?
04:14A salmonella outbreak.
04:16Oh, gosh.
04:17We're not talking about cyclospora.
04:18No, that was a different vegetable.
04:20All I can come up with is that one.
04:22What food is with it?
04:24Oh.
04:24Mmm.
04:26It's a type of food.
04:27Yes.
04:28It's a type of food.
04:29I wrote tomatoes.
04:31No.
04:31No.
04:31I wrote lettuce, which I know was not right.
04:33No.
04:33No.
04:33Jalapenos.
04:34Oh, I did read that.
04:36Do you remember?
04:36I love jalapenos.
04:37Like, codoma.
04:38I did read that.
04:39Yeah.
04:40I feel like I just let us all down here.
04:42Sweet green.
04:43It was a pretty bad time.
04:45What can we eat?
04:46It really is a pretty bad time.
04:48What can you eat?
04:48I know.
04:49The lettuce.
04:50The charito.
04:51Have you had the encharito?
04:52What is it?
04:53There's like a tarito.
04:53Encharito.
04:54The charito.
04:54It has no lettuce.
04:55And maybe no jalapenos in it as well.
04:58All right.
04:59Guys, we're not doing, David Gurr, I think you got that wrong.
05:02Yeah.
05:02I'm sorry.
05:03So you have, how many chips do you have left now?
05:04You've got none.
05:04You've got none.
05:05But unfortunately, the bonus is an all or nothing situation, right?
05:07No, it is not an all or nothing situation.
05:10Lisa, stop changing the rules.
05:13Bonus.
05:14Bonus, Rhonda.
05:14We always go all in.
05:15Is aviation.
05:16Aviation.
05:16We do not always go all in.
05:18Brazil is investing in Macauba, okay?
05:22Hoping it will become a source of sustainable aviation fuel.
05:27What is Macauba?
05:29Can you spell it?
05:30Please, I hope I said that correctly.
05:32Macauba.
05:33Macauba.
05:33M-A-C-A-U-B-A.
05:34It's part of when those vowels are dancing with one another, the A and the U.
05:37Oh, like Brazilian, yes.
05:39Yes.
05:40The Brazilian dance.
05:41I don't know.
05:42It might be an aviation fuel.
05:44What is this?
05:47I did say it could be used for aviation fuel.
05:49I wrote palm oil.
05:50But I got it.
05:50Oh.
05:51Palm oil.
05:52Nope.
05:52Sorry.
05:53It's a fruit.
05:54Fruit.
05:55Christina.
05:56It's a champion.
05:58Hold on.
05:59Yes.
05:59It grows on palm trees, okay?
06:01Brazil's investing $3 billion in it.
06:04That's why palm, yeah, that's why I couldn't remember.
06:06But you had the palm oil.
06:07Sorry for that modifier.
06:08But it doesn't look like a fruit.
06:10I saw this article.
06:11I thought it was a nut eventually.
06:13Yeah.
06:13And they're trying to modify it to become, like, larger oil, safer to handle, because
06:17it has thorns on it, and it's kind of hard to handle.
06:20Oh, that seems hard to harvest.
06:20So, yes.
06:21So, that means Christina is our champion.
06:24And you know what you win.
06:25You have a prize today.
06:26Yes.
06:27A camo jacket from our camo.
06:30Loan from our colleague Madison.
06:31Luxury camo segment.
06:33All right.
06:33I'm going to disappear with my win here.
