In this episode of The Chris and Andre Show, the guys are buckled in for Election Night in the United States, sharing their predictions for what the night will bring along with a lot of other topics, buy and sell cryptocurrencies, discuss Walmart and McDonald’s diversity changes, talk about rappers and politicians, and express gratitude for their football teams successes this week but agree it’s probably time to cancel the seasons.
(00:00:40) Politics - In this segment, the guys discuss the ongoing election prior to any results being released and the future political landscape post-election on both sides.

(00:32:26) Business - Chris wants Andre’s opinion on cryptocurrency, Andre says he loved the “And I Quit” video recently posted by a now former Walmart employee, the guys share their opinions on the flood of issues McDonald’s has been facing lately, which leads to a larger discussion of the lack of diversity in corporate America.
