It's a fucking disaster.

Hello, welcome to another episode of the Weeds,

Box's policy podcast and the pen and plea network. I'm Matthew Glacias,

through with my colleague Sarah Cliff and his replying in the shiny new pen and plea

DC offices. Yeah, very fancy.

Recording studio, the comfort level in this room, just temperature wise, it's like off-the-charts

improvements. So I think podcast itself is going to get that much better to go with the better

equipment. Excellent. We're hoping. Happy to hear it. Oh, by the way. Yeah.

My other podcast this week, the podcast for I cheat on you guys and interview people.

Is it also going to get better? It is presumably going to be also not that hot in there, but I have

Tony Pesta, who is a Washington DC super lobbyist and we talk about how lobbying actually works,

what it is. I think Weeds fans who care about lobbying and feel upset about it will be

interested in the conversation. Yeah, absolutely. It's a subject shrouded in mystery.

I know I look forward to listening to your other podcast that might love more than the Weeds.

As Bill Matthews would say, all will become clear when you listen to Tony Pest explain lobbying.

So you can search the Ezra Klein show and you'll find it.

Man, it's the Ego Mania. But now to the Weeds show.
