Hello.

I'm a host.

Hello, welcome to the third episode of the weeds Fox dot com's policy podcast on the panoply network.

I'm Matthew Glacias here with me as always, my colleague Sarah Clip and as recline.

And one of them was this law, which you've probably seen the impact of at your local Chipotle McDonald's, whatever.
