G. I. F. Friends welcome back to Between Bells with Asia Celestino baker Machado.
New Asia living through history.
It's just downright exhausting and we miss everything as a result of that.
So that mine it's time for this week in trivia.
And of course we need to introduce our
very own executive producer and hostess with the mostest
Conor white. Hello,
how's it going guys?
Alright, Asia, good to have you on this week. Here's how the game works.
I'll recap a big story from the past week and ask a question that's
kinda sort of related to it.
Listen, we make the rules so I'm going to decide what counts baker and Asia,
you gotta agree on the same and we got this, this got it easy, easy.
Alright, alright. Here we go.
Now listen,
while many of us may have turned to pellet in
when we are stuck at home during the pandemic,
it seems demand for the bikes might be waning.
The connected fitness brand announced on Tuesday morning, lost $757 million 2022.
I think I was close to that peloton now has a market value of about four billion,
which is a 90% drop from its high of 47 billion.
In early 2021
Average monthly workouts per user are also down 28
peloton founder john Foley was removed uh from uh from
being ceo and an executive shakeup earlier this year,
but he remains executive chairman.
Alright, here's our first question, where did john Foley work
prior to creating the company,
He was president of one of these major companies? A Target B weight watchers? See
Home Depot de
I'm glad you clarified that he was president because I was like,
did he work in the lumber department?
No, he wasn't
targeted. Fun fact. Did you know I worked at Barnes and Noble
and Fun fact, my first job at 16 was at Target.
So it's basically like you and I should go run pelican here.
Didn't you work? He just worked at Abercrombie and Fitch
jenny from the block. Okay, so where are you thinking about with this?
Do you?
Where do you think john Foley would have worked at before
because I I don't know that's an answer at all.
Yeah, this is tough.
I want to stick with the theme of like fitness and health and wellness,
maybe a weight watchers, but I honestly don't know into his career.
I do know the new management had a background at Spotify Also netflix. Yes, yes.
But yeah, this one's tough with john Foley. Yeah. You know what you do? What's weird?
I almost weirdly think I remember seeing somewhere Barnes and Noble,
so I almost want to say because you work there.
I almost want to give it credence and Sadie on this one. Okay,
Dee Barnes and Noble.
Alright
Asia, did you guys never run into each other yesterday.
How was your review of
the president? Me and the president over at Barnes and Noble.
I'm putting books and I'm like, hey mr. President,
all right, listen up.
Prior to starting Culloton Foley was president of E commerce at Barnes and Noble.
Funny fun fact.
He put himself through college working overnight shifts at a skittle,
sell lots of sugar.
So I guess you could say
before Barnes and Noble, he served as ceo of
fight dot com and Ceo and co founder of pronto dot com.
Now, thanks to pollutants drop fully fell off
the Forbes billionaires list this year. Isn't that tragic?
Well clearly you don't have to like have you know
anything in health and wellness to work at peloton.
You just go from books to to bikes. There you go. Alright,
look away, look away. Sixers fans after another season of huge expectations,
Philly once again reached the second round of the playoffs, but once again we
got no further.
The Sixers were knocked out of the playoffs thanks to a 99 90
lost to the Miami heat at Wells Fargo Center on thursday night.
Jimmy Butler outdid his former team with a game high 32 points,
Joel Embiid,
who missed the first two games of the series with concussion and with a concussion
And facial injuries had 20 points and 12 rebounds yesterday.
Now the team's big acquisition this year, James Harden nowhere to be found,
he scored 11 points and took only two shots in the entire second half.
While Harden said after the game,
he will be back in Philadelphia next year after jumping from
Houston to Brooklyn to Philly in the last three years.
It's kinda anyone's guess where the future hall
of fame will be lacing up next season,
which leads us to our next trivia question.
Which of these NBA all stars has James Harden not played with goodness,
is it john wall, joe johnson, Carmelo Anthony or vince
carter.
So I don't know God vince carter by the way I think is like played with like everybody.
Um
I want to say speak Carmelo Anthony for some reason, you know,
I usually defer to you on this
but
I'm with you. Okay,
let's go mellow, I'm feeling mellow in this,
feeling mellow on friday. Let's
sanity.
Listen up while James Harden and Vince carter have both traveled all over the N. B. A.
They actually never played on the same team.
James Harden played 28 games with joe johnson in Houston seven with
Carmelo in Houston and six games with in Houston with john Wall
that Houston Rockets team saw a lot of guys come and go for a while. Okay.
But by the way to Asia,
my defense like six games with Carmelo Anthony is also not very many games you go.
Listen, but when you're, you know, pouring through your list of teammates.
Okay, there you go. Alright some sad news from the tech world this week.
The device that helped apple change the entire music
industry soon will be a relic of the past.
The tech giant announcing it is discontinuing the ipod touch,
which was the last version of the device still being made.
The digital music player was first introduced on october 23rd, 2000 and one.
It's older than my sister.
The ipod helped redefine how people bought enjoyed and shared music.
Now of course,
it started to lose popularity of smartphones took over as
the main source for listening to music on the go
Now. Apple says its newest ipod touch will be the final iteration
of the device.
But listen,
you can still buy them online and at stores for about $200 while supplies last
and then a couple of years they're gonna be way more expensive on ebay,
so you might as well do it, we all know that.
Listen up, here's our question,
how many gigabytes of storage did the first ipod have a
one gigabyte B five C
10 D.
Okay, so asia, um,
we're all three of us were about the same age
and I remember when my dad got the first generation,
I ipod, I lost my mind,
I've never been more jealous of anybody in my life because I had,
because I had one of those clunky like, you know, Zunes at the time,
so I think it was really small because obviously the technology got better.
So I want to say it's got to be either one or five gigs.
If anything, I'd probably go five gigs here.
Didn't it hold
1000 songs if we do a rough translation. Is that five gigs?
So it's yeah it's probably five or one. Yeah
let's go with five. Okay I'm with you. Let's go five
control room. What do we got? Yes.
On october 23rd 2001,
Apple unveiled the very first ipod which had five gigabytes of music storage.
It held 1000 songs and sold for $399.
While they were already six mp three players on the market,
the ipod changed how just about everybody listened to
discovered it's such an end of an era.
I'm so depressed.
Not only because it's so old,
it makes me feel old knowing how old the ipod is but basically that
was the best thing ever when you're finally able to get up there.
I remember when I had an Mp three player that held like 25 songs.
Alright listen up the
the Multiverse may be in peril but the box office is alive and well.
Thanks to Doctor Strange,
the latest entry into the EMC You Doctor Strange in the
Multiverse of Madness brought in $185
million domestically and $265 million internationally
in its opening weekend at the box office.
That's a massive 450 million in its first few days. And guess what?
It's earned another 80 million over the past week,
bringing its total over 500 And $30 million.
It's also the fourth highest grossing worldwide opening weekend of the M. C.
You ever behind Only Avengers infinity war Avengers, Endgame and Spider man.
No way home.
Here's our question, what is the highest grossing superhero movie of all time?
That is not part of the M. C. U. Or the dc extended universe? Is it a
the Dark Knight rises? Be the Incredibles to see
Spiderman three or D.
Deadpool. Okay, so this is one Asia.
I clearly would defer to you because I know nothing about any
of these but I always thought Deadpool was part of the EMC.
No, not yet actually. Well no, never mind. No spoilers.
No, it's not part of the mm Okay. Not yet any.
Okay, one of these by the way, a Disney movie,
we know Disney tends to make a ton of money.
I mean the Incredibles, I remember doing really well.
The Dark Knight rises. Is that the one with heath ledger?
No, that's the sequel that's with Bein Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So Asia, look I I defer to you and stuff like this. Any any guesses here,
do you want to go be the Incredibles two?
Just because like so many families were not for these movies. Right.
I would think so too.
Given the fact that all these other ones are like kind of marvel esque or D. C.
S all right. That one's Disney, I say Incredibles. Control room. Let's see it,
baby. Come on
the end of the week. On a high note question. Yes.
As if Disney possibly needed another win. The Incredibles two is the answer.
The 2018 film raked in 1.25 billion at the box office.
The Dark Knight rises made 1.8 billion. 2007. Spiderman three grossed 894 million.
Here's a fun fact. Not only is incredible to the highest grossing movie, not in the M.
C. U. Or the D. C. E. U. Also made more money than any film
in the D. C. E. U. To date. Alright, I'm wrapping this whole thing up.
We gotta go, we gotta date at a bar.
That's it for between Bells, join us again on monday 12 noon Eastern for some
more fun.
When you're the executive producer, you do whatever you want,
huge guests coming up next week.
