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. This is the Jesse Kelly Show.

It is the Jesse Kelly show on a Monday.

There's all kinds of news we could talk about,

and we're going to talk about like NBC being

mad about Ron and McDaniel getting hired and people are moving and the spending thing and all kinds

of stuff. The comments from Mexico's president. So of course we're not doing any of that.

I mean, I'm going to get to it. Don't you're wrong. That's coming. But look, you know what time it is.

It's Monday.

It's the start of the second hour on Monday, so it's Medal of Honor Monday time.

And I warned you last week that this was going to be a double whammy, a two-banger.

I've been doing a bunch of different reading.

I've written like three different books right now on Pelaloo.

Well, that's not really true.

I read one.

Then I read another one.

Now I'm on my third one on Pelaloo, one of the Pacific War battles.

And there's just some backstory, a little expanded stuff on a couple of medals,

medals of honor that were won on Pelaloo that I wanted to talk about.

Someone had a question about Vietnam, I thought was fascinating. Essentially, we're going to do some battlefield

war history, Medal of Honor, honoring some heroes stuff. So buckle up and enjoy the ride.
