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. Donald Trump Jr. is here. That's exciting stuff. Joe Biden gave a speech. He wants some unity. Steve Day's local election wins, all that and more coming up on I'm right. All right, we've all had a day to process that wonderful, wonderful election win.

And I guess we don't know exactly how many election wins we have,

courtesy of idiotic states like Colorado and Arizona and California,

who are somehow still counting their ballots.

And there are more.

But now that we have this tremendous victory, and it was a tremendous victory,

and we spent yesterday celebrating and cheering, let's do a little bit of reflection, shall we?

First, Democrats are nasty towards each other.

And this is not actually unique to Democrats.

I should clarify here, whenever you lose a presidential election,

it is standard for everybody to start pointing fingers.

It's the old sports analogy, right?

Everyone loves a winner.

As soon as you win, everything you do

is the smartest thing ever. You're the best. He's great. She's great. I love him. We're all friends.

That's how it goes when you win. When you lose, you wake up the day after losing an election.

You've been there before. I've been there before. Shoot, I've personally been there before running for

Congress. You wake up the day after you're losing.

It's the bad part of human nature, but it's how we're built.

Start looking around for people to blame.
