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 final hour of the Jesse Kelly show on an eventful Wednesday, a hump day. I will touch on the Tulsi

Gabbard pick. I already touched on Hegseth and Gates. And we'll deal with some big pharma

stuff, some fun sound, some other things before we get going on on all the doings of the hour.

Let's, let's rewind really quickly back to last February.

John Thune, who should have been primaried forever ago, but of course he's handsome and speaks

very well on TV. John Thune's probably going to be our next Senate minority or majority

leader. Hey, Chris, when was that again? That was, that wasn't from earlier today, was it when I said that?

Chris, why are you leaning back?

I'm just asking, that was, correct me if I'm wrong, that was almost a year ago when I said that.

Wow, pretty impressive, isn't it, Chris?

Anyway, it's me, Jesse the Oracle Kelly, and let

us begin on this stuff. First, I have to address the Clay and Buck situation. I blasted Buck

for his pistachio creme brulee on my show. Clay and Buck today return fire.

I fully support having pistachio creme brulee.

Eating a tasty dessert with salty nuts is much better than any type of Brussels sprouts.

I look to Brussels sprouts.

I'm going to continue to defend.

Excellent dish.

I'll just point out that Jesse Kelly has ordered $75 tequila shots.
