Hello and welcome to SciShow Tangents, the lightly competitive science knowledge showcase.

I'm your host, Tank Green, and joining me this week is always our science expert,

Sarah E. Riley. Hello.

And our resident, every man, Sam Schultz, everybody in the room knows that I got everyone

together so that they could watch me write an email in a panic.

We get, uh, it's like a private Hank's channel live stream productivity stream, except we've

already done our work, and we're just watching you de yours.

It was a little bit understood because the person I was emailing who desperately needed

the email is Sam's partner, Rachel, who works at DFTBA.

That's just the way you're justifying it to yourself, though.

That's it. Yeah, because that way it was like at least one person aside from me is going

to benefit from me sitting in this email, though I'm sure as soon as this podcast ends,

Rachel will be like, I cannot believe what Hank did to me today to create a bunch of

extra work when I have been working so hard to not have extra work.

Oh, it's my fault, but it's more past me's fault than current me's fault, isn't it always, though?

Is it always? Yeah. I feel like past me is like the ultimate.

He's got, he's just like full of power moves. Yeah.

Where he's like, Oh, you didn't want to do that?

Well, you have to because I didn't.

Past me is also, uh, over ambitious, I think, like thinks too highly of future me.

Future me is just kind of regular, just kind of okay, but past me is like,

oh, you got this. You can wake up early for the first time in your life and do all that homework.
