Welcome to the Advisory Opinion Podcast. I'm David French with Sarah Isger and my goodness,

0:26.0

Sarah, between yesterday morning when you slapped quote, hmm, what do we have for tomorrow? And now,

0:37.2

it turns out we got a lot. We've got a lot of really interesting things to cover,

0:43.9

kind of an interesting popery that's going to hit a few different things, but there's going to

2:20.0

that that's a misleading phrase, but that's what everybody knows it by, but it's a challenge to
