0:00.0	What is up, you sexy bastards? It is your boy Hot Tea, aka Rabbi Can't Lose, aka King Diper,
0:10.4	aka your boy Noah Kagan. Coming into you hot right after Tax Day, and I don't have an interview,
0:19.6	I don't have a specific topic, but I have musings. So after I just sent a lot of
0:24.5	money to the government, shout out, Mr. Sam, I wanted to share a few different topics. A few of them
0:29.9	include, how did I use AI with my taxes and AI in general? Weeds, no, not the ones you smoke,
0:40.8	but just weeds in general. My 80% line,
0:46.9	what the hell is that? A few books that I've been reading. Family Fun, not F-U-N-F-U-N-D.
0:51.1	And I don't know. I'm going to try to riff on what is a good life because sometimes I'm noticing that there's times where you work just a bunch and that's a good
0:54.5	life and there's times where you just walk in the woods and that's a good life too. And maybe

I've noticed with the weeds, though, it was really fascinating because weeds spread. So like you have one weed and then maybe you pick it out and you don't throw it away. You just pick it out a little bit.
1:28.3	The root's still there.
1:29.2	It'll grow again.
1:30.0	And then it'll also spread.
1:32.2	And then I was realizing, holy shit, if you're watering your lawn, which honestly,
1:37.8	I don't know why we even have grass.
1:38.8	Like, I'd rather have just rocks.
1:40.5	It's much more efficient.
1:42.2	And I was thinking about, okay, you water it, then the weeds keep growing.
1:45.6	And not only that, when you water it, it's taking away water from the actual grass because it's going to the weeds instead.
1:51.8	And it really made me think about business.
