00:00Get comfortable.
00:02Time for this weekend's Point of News Quiz.
00:04Christina getting ready.
00:04A little far away from the table, sorry.
00:06I was helping with something.
00:07Yeah, I know.
00:08Always attentive to what's happening here on set.
00:10Getting anxious, I think.
00:11Maybe some anxiety, apprehension about the quiz to come.
00:14This is so unfair.
00:15That's run by one Lisa Mateo.
00:16I have so much more useless knowledge than you do,
00:19but the useful knowledge you're really much better at.
00:22Pack it in.
00:23Hi, Lisa.
00:24This is everyone's favorite part of the show.
00:26It is usually mine.
00:26I tell you, we get the emails
00:29and I love this.
00:30Okay.
00:31Only when he wins.
00:32When he doesn't win, he doesn't like it.
00:34Fortunately for me, it is frequent.
00:37It's picked up a bit.
00:38I'll give you that.
00:38Lisa!
00:39It's picked up a bit.
00:40I love that.
00:41I think the tides will turn.
00:42Oh, interesting.
00:43Here we go.
00:44For those of you who are saying,
00:45what are these guys talking about?
00:47What are we talking about?
00:47This is Pointed.
00:49It is a news quiz.
00:49You can play it online.
00:51They give actually multiple choice,
00:53so they have a more difficult time
00:54because we are not giving them multiple choice.
00:56I will give them three categories.
00:58They have chips in front of them.
00:5930 chips into 10, 10, and 10.
01:03So, I will give you categories.
01:05If you feel pretty good about the first one,
01:07hey, place your bets.
01:08See how you feel.
01:09Do you feel 10?
01:10Do you feel 20?
01:10Do you feel 30?
01:11We'll see.
01:12I do think Gura has been doing better
01:13since he started stealing my split-across-the-board method.
01:17Well, you recall last week I put 20 on the first one.
01:19Fine, fine, fine.
01:20Lisa?
01:21I haven't forgotten.
01:21Okay.
01:22Hush.
01:22Here we go.
01:23Categories.
01:24Yes.
01:24Let's take it away.
01:25They are shipping is the first category.
01:28Shipping.
01:28Airlines is the second,
01:30and food and beverage is your third.
01:32That's kind of a recurring category.
01:34Are we shipping like moving commodities?
01:34I feel like we often do food and beverage.
01:37Shipping as in moving commodities,
01:38or shipping as like,
01:39I ship these two people to get into a relationship together?
01:43No.
01:43Shipping like shipping.
01:45I'm doing celebrity crushes.
01:46On the water.
01:47All right, fine.
01:48Shipping on the water.
01:49I'm going to do the usual.
01:50I'm going to split.
01:51I'm going to put 20 on the middle on airlines.
01:52On the middle on airlines.
01:53I want to think what airlines I saw this week.
01:55Yeah, well.
01:56All right.
01:56Let's see if it works out for you, David Gura.
01:58That's when I can just sit back.
01:59Let's start with shipping, which you placed nothing on.
02:02So, okay.
02:02Okay.
02:03Here's your question.
02:04The busiest U.S. container port for global trade foiled over 120 million cyber attacks in August.
02:12Which port is it?
02:14Oh, God.
02:14It's one of the two.
02:16It is the busiest U.S. container port.
02:18One of the busiest.
02:19The busiest.
02:21Which is the busiest?
02:22We talk about it often.
02:24I know.
02:25And we have the guy on who runs it.
02:27That guy.
02:28Yeah.
02:28It's in.
02:29It's in.
02:30I.
02:31Okay.
02:31All right.
02:33The port of where?
02:35Long Beach.
02:36No.
02:37LA.
02:37Nice.
02:38Long Beach.
02:39Long Beach is there.
02:41No?
02:42Christina.
02:43No, it's not called the port of Long Beach.
02:45It's the port of Los Angeles.
02:46Yeah.
02:46I had to do that story a couple times.
02:48I didn't know that.
02:49Yeah.
02:49All right.
02:50Okay.
02:50Darn it.
02:51He didn't lose any money on that.
02:51So that seems unfair.
02:53Okay.
02:53Oh, see?
02:53That's why he bet zero.
02:54All right.
02:55Lisa, let's keep going.
02:55Keep going.
02:56Let's see the airlines, okay?
02:57You're betting 20 on this.
02:58Yeah.
02:58All right.
02:59Which Irish airline is seeking a $1.6 billion expansion across Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania?
03:11Oh, interesting.
03:12So an Irish airline.
03:13I only know one.
03:14I know.
03:14So if it's not this one, we're in trouble.
03:16I know.
03:16I know.
03:16That's the problem.
03:18Okay.
03:18I think you both have it.
03:21Ryanair.
03:26Oh, well, well.
03:29Oh, well, well.
03:31Oh, he's handing them over.
03:35Matteo gets the Ruffini chips.
03:37I'm sorry.
03:39Are you sorry?
03:41Sorry, not sorry.
03:42I've flown on.
03:43You know, they have lots of events.
03:44Like you can do scratch tickets in the middle and buy things.
03:47There's a lot of stimulation that happens.
03:49Oh, really?
03:50I flew it once and I remember a woman got in a fight because they would love it.
03:53And let her have her duty-free vodka out of the bag and drink it.
03:55Oh, no.
03:55That is or was, in my experience, common.
03:59All right.
04:00Yes.
04:00Food and beverage.
04:01Food and beverage.
04:01Yes.
04:02Let's get right to it.
04:04European farmers, they predict which staple crop will grow smaller after a summer of heat
04:10waves and drought.
04:12Okay.
04:12All right.
04:13Okay.
04:13So what is this staple crop?
04:16Pick one, name it, and we'll see if you are correct.
04:20I wrote wheat.
04:20Flip it.
04:21You wrote wheat?
04:22I also wrote wheat.
04:23No.
04:24Potatoes.
04:24Potatoes.
04:25You both got it wrong.
04:26No.
04:27But fortunately, because of my ambitious bet on the middle one, that leaves me with a sizable
04:32margin over my friend Christina.
04:34Still at the 20.
04:36Potatoes.
04:37But it's running higher prices.
04:39Smaller potatoes.
04:40Smaller fries because of this.
04:42Your fries might get smaller.
04:43Oh, that's disappointing.
04:44You know, that is sad.
04:45It's very sad.
04:45Waffle fries.
04:46Chips, as they call them in the UK.
04:47I do love a waffle fry.
04:49Yeah.
04:50All right.
04:50Do we have a bonus question?
04:51Sweet potato fries.
04:53Let's move on to health.
04:54The aggressively healthy one at the end of the table.
04:56Health is the next category.
04:57There we go.
04:58Speaking of.
04:58That's why.
04:58Health is the next category?
05:00Health is the next category.
05:01Yes.
05:01It's right up my alley.
05:02A.I.
05:03Startup.
05:04Sword Health is acquiring what meditation and mental health app for nearly $300 million.
05:12Yeah.
05:13Exactly.
05:13Exactly.
05:14Name a meditation and mental health app.
05:17What can you think of?
05:17Ohm?
05:18Is it like ohm?
05:18No.
05:19No.
05:21Headspace.
05:22Headspace.
05:22That's the other one.
05:23I use it sometimes.
05:25Yes.
05:26It gets me in my zone.
05:28You've tried that?
05:29Yeah.
05:29It has like cute graphics.
05:31I gave it a shot.
05:32I did.
05:32It didn't make me calmer.
05:33I know it's going to surprise both of you.
05:35It's not going to surprise me.
05:36You have quite the tall little tower.
05:36Look at that.
05:3720 chips in front of me today.
05:40Christina, count yours up for the radio audience.
05:42Looks like 10.
05:43You can test your knowledge on all 10 questions.
05:45Take the pointed news quiz at Bloomberg.com slash pointed on the Bloomberg business app.
05:51That was really well.
05:52You loved that.
05:53You loved it.
05:53That's a good entreaty for people to try it out.
05:55Thank you, Lisa.
05:57I can't tell you enough how many people love this part of the show.
06:02I get the emails and the tweets.
06:03I will say when we have to kill it for breaking news, I do get emails being like, where's the
06:07news quiz?
06:08But I think mostly they enjoy my humiliation.
06:10So it's fine.
06:11They like the banter.
06:12They and we and the banter.
06:13Who doesn't like banter?
06:14And what we learn.
06:15I mean, we learn things as well.
06:17I think one of these days I should get to quiz Lisa.
06:19I think that seems only fair.
06:20That would be a tragedy.
06:21That would be a tragedy.
06:22That would be a tragedy.
06:23That would be a tragedy.
06:23It's been a tragedy.
