00:00All right, now for the weekly public humiliation that is this week's pointed news quiz.
00:06Bailey, I tried to get you to stay for once this once before, and you, like, ran out of here.
00:10You were like, do you want to do it?
00:12You were like, absolutely not.
00:13I said, I don't need to prove to a live television radio audience my IQ is about that high.
00:18Well, we're going to do it today, and I do it every week with the help of our quiz master,
00:22Lisa Mateo.
00:24Oh, Bailey, I'm so excited for you.
00:26Okay, let me give you the rules, okay, just so that you know how to play.
00:29Okay, so basically there are three categories, right?
00:32In front of you, you have three rows of chips.
00:35Each row is 10, okay?
00:36So you have 30 chips.
00:37Okay.
00:38So there's three categories.
00:39I'm going to tell you the first, the second, and the third.
00:41Depending on how confident you feel about the first, yeah, you might want to keep 10.
00:44Or maybe you feel real confident you want to put 20 on it.
00:47But we don't like math here, so you have to do it in iterations of 10.
00:49Yes, it has to be in 10.
00:49Can I go all in on the first question?
00:51You absolutely can.
00:51You totally can.
00:52I don't have to answer the second two?
00:53No, you still have to answer.
00:55It just doesn't count as much.
00:58I've never asked that before.
01:00And you write your answers on the whiteboards in front of you, and then when I tell you
01:04to flip it, you flip it, and we see who got it right.
01:06Okay.
01:06Are you excited?
01:07Okay, here we go.
01:08The categories.
01:09The first category is toys.
01:12The second category is...
01:14I don't think I've read any stories about toys this week.
01:15There was one.
01:17Dolly Parton is number two, and Vegetables is number three.
01:20I'm going all for three.
01:21Okay, so how do you want to place your best?
01:23We call this the Rafini.
01:24I hedge, and I just do 10, 10, 10.
01:2710, 10, 10?
01:28I'm a simple math guy.
01:29Okay.
01:29I do the same.
01:30All right.
01:30Lisa?
01:31You're making it easy for me math-wise.
01:32Okay.
01:32Let's see what we got.
01:33Here's your toys question.
01:35Which Denmark-based toy maker reported record first-half sales and said it will not let
01:40AI design its products?
01:42Wait, I know this one.
01:43Oh, see?
01:44You said you didn't know.
01:45I'm going to try to draw one.
01:46Hang on.
01:47Oh, gosh.
01:48Here we go.
01:48She's getting creative.
01:49Here we go.
01:50Ooh.
01:50Wait, you said Denmark, so it's not American.
01:53No, it is Denmark.
01:54I just erased.
01:56Denmark, there's only one.
01:57Hurry up.
01:58Come on.
01:59Denmark-based toy maker.
02:00Yeah, I can tell by what you were writing.
02:01Okay, ready?
02:02Go for it.
02:03Legos.
02:04Legos.
02:04You both did it.
02:05Correct, correct, correct, correct.
02:06Yes, they said they are sticking with human designers.
02:09They want to do that and use AI for things like, you know, making their instruction manuals
02:13and things like that.
02:13I think that's really important because people have such an emotional attachment to Legos,
02:16and if you start building them and they're, like, not good because, you know, the AI hasn't
02:20built, like, you need human hands.
02:22You need to make sure people still enjoy the process.
02:24And did you know, Lego actually comes from the Danish phrase that means play well.
02:28Oh, no.
02:28I didn't know that.
02:29Well, play well.
02:31All right.
02:31So, we're holding on to that stack of chips.
02:33All right.
02:33So, you guys are good so far.
02:34If I miss a question on Dolly Parton, I'm going to have to, like, leave the set.
02:37But, okay.
02:38What do you got?
02:38What do you got?
02:39You're going to get this.
02:40Okay.
02:40Dolly Parton.
02:41Here it is.
02:41What was Dolly Parton's first number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100?
02:47I know one Dolly Parton song.
02:49There you go.
02:49I don't know if it's this one or not.
02:51I know one Dolly Parton song.
02:52I don't know if it's this one.
02:53I have a feeling you might be on the right track.
02:55Oh, no.
02:56That makes me feel worse.
02:57Flip it.
02:57What do you got?
02:59Jolene?
02:59No, it's not Jolene.
03:00It's 9 to 5.
03:01What a way to make this.
03:03Bailey.
03:04When did Jolene come out?
03:06Jolene was after.
03:07Well, actually.
03:08But it wasn't as commercially popular because that was, like, the one that was everywhere.
03:11It was written for a motion picture.
03:14So, it actually won an Academy Award.
03:16Not a nomination.
03:17The year that it came out?
03:18I don't know.
03:19Do you know, I will say 9 to 5 is streaming right now on Hulu, and if you have not
03:24seen
03:25it, it is still an amazing movie, and it's just the best.
03:28Everyone should watch 9 to 5.
03:30We lost the legend.
03:31All right.
03:32All right.
03:32We want to move on to vegetables.
03:35Okay.
03:36I mean, this is normally a subject I'm good at.
03:38Okay.
03:39Wait.
03:39Hold on.
03:40Thank you for your chips there, Bailey.
03:42You did hand them over very nicely.
03:44Vegetables.
03:45Okay.
03:45South Korea is tightening inspections on what vegetable after sellers use formaldehyde
03:52for freshness?
03:54That can't be good.
03:55I don't know if this is right or not.
03:57So, what vegetable?
03:59Pick one.
04:00Pick a vegetable.
04:02Yes.
04:03Pick a vegetable.
04:04What do you think?
04:05I put bok choy.
04:06Bok choy?
04:06Cabbage?
04:07Cabbage!
04:08Kimchi!
04:09Are you kidding?
04:10Kimchi.
04:11Exactly.
04:11Exactly.
04:11So, you're thinking critically.
04:12I'm just thinking, like, hypothetical vegetables that could be grown.
04:18We have talked about kimchi a lot on this show.
04:20We've talked about how it helps with microplastics.
04:22I love it.
04:23Probiotics.
04:23I just want to say, you act surprised that I didn't want to play this.
04:26I think we just saw arguably the worst showing.
04:29I had to think through XUS.
04:32No, no.
04:32You haven't gotten a shot out.
04:33I'm still alive.
04:34You still haven't gotten a shot out because we have a bonus question and you can make
04:37these two back.
04:39I'll give them back to you.
04:40We're just changing the rules.
04:41That is not how this works.
04:44She does this sometimes with the boys.
04:46She's like, oh, you can have all of your chips back.
04:48You can have all of your chippies back.
04:49Okay.
04:50Your bonus question is Australia.
04:52Okay.
04:52Here's your question.
04:54Mystery packs of Disney Ooshies.
04:56I hope I said that right.
04:58You know what that is.
04:58Are boosting sales at Australia's Woolworths.
05:01What kind of store is Woolworths?
05:03Oh, I do know what that is.
05:04Okay.
05:05Okay.
05:06Woolworths in Australia.
05:09Oh, is it not the same as the one I'm thinking?
05:11Uh, just letting you know.
05:13Uh, I only-
05:14This is Australia's Woolworths.
05:16What kind of store is it?
05:18See, now I feel-
05:19No, I mean, there's only-
05:20Now I feel like I've got it wrong.
05:22You're saying store over and over again.
05:23I feel like I need to diversify.
05:26I'm going full-
05:27All right, we've got 90 seconds of control of it selling us.
05:29All right.
05:30What do you got?
05:31I-
05:31Because I have to make up for it.
05:32What kind of store?
05:32I have to go to a bar.
05:33A bar?
05:34A bar?
05:35Nope.
05:36I thought it was an apartment store, but I thought maybe it was a grocery store?
05:39Grocery?
05:39You changed it.
05:40You got it right.
05:42No, because the U.S.
05:43What are these?
05:43The U.S. is a department store, right?
05:45Right, that's why the departments are here.
05:47So when they went and made it, they didn't license the name in Australia, so Australia
05:50took the name and made it.
05:52Oh, funny.
05:52And now it's a grocery store.
05:53But these are the Ushis.
05:54They're like all different characters.
05:55I don't know what this is.
05:55It's like from Juana, Marvel, Spider-Man.
05:57They're like little, little, tiny, little characters.
06:00And they gave them out as like these mystery prizes and became this huge thing.
06:03So that was a big thing.
06:05So it's like pushing grocery sales?
06:06I guess.
06:08People liked it.
06:09They enjoyed it.
06:09They liked the character.
06:10All right, here, look.
06:11Bailey, because you did such a good job this weekend, and we
06:13appreciate you so much.
06:14I will donate my chips to you, and you can claim at least a tie.
06:19You never do that with David.
06:21Well, you technically only have 10, so I won.
06:23Okay, you know what?
06:25Play along at home.
