I'm Maria Konnikova. And I'm Nate Silver. And our new podcast, Risky Business, is a show about making better decisions. We're both journalists who moonlight as poker players. And that's the lens we're going to use to approach this entire show. We're going to be discussing everything from high-stakes poker to personal questions. Like whether I should call a plumber or fix my shower myself.

And of course, we'll be talking about the election too.

Listen on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

We never quit. We never surrender from C to shining C and everybody in between. Welcome, Patriots on this great and glorious Savage Wednesday.

I told Savage Rich Bears, and of course, we've already got him in the waiting room. He was psyched and ready to come on the show today because he knows he just, he, he,

he just loves coming on the show to discuss current events.

People in the live chat were talking about Savage Rich watching Savage Rich on Viva's show today.

And I know that Rich is like listening to this and can hear.

So I'm just kind of kind of like poke fun at Rich while he can't really respond while he's vaping off screen.

They like when Rich is buttoned down Rich on Viva.

We wouldn't want that at all.

Folks, so much to get into today.

President Trump is making some very bold and very serious moves at his top level cabinet positions.
