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. All right. Thank you, Scott Shannon. Thanks to all of you for being

with us. Here's our toll-free telephone number.

If you want to be a part of the program, it's 800, 9-41. Sean, if you want to join us, Temple University, we have our eyes on it, Kamala Harris, who called and conceded to President. I'm sorry, what is it? Oh, I was thinking of Temple University. Where the, I know. I got it wrong.

Howard University.

I was thinking about Temple yesterday where all the kids were lined up to vote.

Anyway, let's get to our phones in the meantime.

Let's say hi to Brent in the great state of Michigan, a clean sweep of the blue wall.

Brent, how are you?

Glad you called. Sean, how are you glad you called?

Sean, I first of all, my congratulations on what you have done. The time slot that you have filled on radio, I believe, has changed the total election and the results of the election

because of our media. But the real reason I wanted to

talk, it was a gentleman that has not been mentioned much, and that is Rush Limbaugh. He opened my

eyes to the dangers of what has happened in our country. And it's been, he has not been mentioned.

And I have to tell you that he opened my eyes, and you have contended that.

And I believe this election was won because of beginnings of him, but what you have continued to do.

Well, first of all, you're very kind.

I actually spoke with Russia's's brother david just the

other day is a dear friend of mine and nobody can replace rush i mean there's just was one rush

and i just know that i know what he would want he this country, had a passion for this country.

He believed in this country.
