| 0:14.6 | Hello and welcome to the high stakes negotiations edition of Slate Money, your guide to the business and finance news of the week. |
| 0:27.4 | I am not just parroting corporate cliches in this episode title, because this is actually Jordan Weissman's pun. |
| 0:40.1 | It's not my, well, okay, I lifted it from a news article. We're all just sharing around the table. Hi, everyone. I'm back. |
| 0:43.5 | Jordan Weissman is back. Hello, Jordan. Hi. Jordan has been delving into the business of |
| 0:51.3 | cannabis. Yes, I have been.
