| 0:00.0 | See, if you were just to sit on your couch and never do anything and then God would have to somehow make you rich while you sit on your couch all day, you'd have to do an obvious miracle. |
| 0:10.8 | But if you have some alibi for God where you can say, oh, it wasn't a miracle, I have a company, I made some investments, I bought something. I sold something. Now, God could say, |
| 0:23.6 | I didn't do a miracle. It happened naturally. We all know it didn't happen naturally, but that's, |
| 0:28.8 | again, that's the plausible deniability. So when you're working, don't think that your work generates |

| 1:18.2 | Rabbi Shea's Talb, when you think of money, the need for money, money in today's generation. What comes to mind? |
| 1:29.2 | Are you completely honest with you? |
| 1:31.6 | When you said money, I pictured like green bills. |
| 1:36.2 | That's what I pictured. |
| 1:38.5 | Old school. |
| 1:39.5 | Old school. |
| 1:40.2 | Yeah, I don't know why. |
