Crawford wins! John can't contain his excitement, but Gordy puts a sock in him in order to cover the National Day Calendar. Amidst some more chatter about the election, we cover Today in History with Sam, then enter Idiocracy. We first take a detour to talk with a longtime listener, but new caller, about his renewed hope in the wake of yesterday's election, then transition into discussion about Cory Booker's record-breaking Senate speech, calling for unity, and for the nation to look itself in the mirror.
