Welcome to the advisory opinions podcast. This is David French with Sarah Isker. And Sarah's

0:10.3

going to sound a little bit different because she is not in her home podcasting studio.

0:16.5

She is in the great state of Texas Tennessee's first and only colony. And Sarah, what were

0:22.5

you doing in Texas?

0:23.5

I mean, first of all, I came for the case. So as you all know, my husband did not bring
