doing0:00:43.440,0:00:49.039an experiment and what's data science0:00:45.989,0:00:53.489without experiments right Andy so true0:00:49.039,0:00:55.980so how's my audio your audios awesome0:00:53.489,0:01:00.469okay could you hear0:00:55.980,0:01:05.700all right I've turned my camera on main0:01:00.469,0:01:07.680using the app that came with it so the0:01:05.700,0:01:10.350software that we were explaining for0:01:07.680,0:01:14.220folks and for you Andy I'll bring our0:01:10.350,0:01:18.960listeners into this the image we haven't0:01:14.220,0:01:20.790started three years ago plus or minus a0:01:18.960,0:01:27.229few weeks we wanted to hold off on the0:01:20.790,0:01:30.060celebrations for a number of reasons and0:01:27.229,0:01:33.840we originally envisioned this show to0:01:30.060,0:01:37.110become a video podcast so technology and0:01:33.840,0:01:40.770costs have come down that if Sumi Annie0:01:37.110,0:01:45.360gets his camera going we will be able to0:01:40.770,0:01:49.770do there we go I see yeah I am here I0:01:45.360,0:01:53.250found the Settings button awesome so0:01:49.770,0:01:58.229this is good this is good so we have the0:01:53.250,0:01:59.219ability now to kind of do something more0:01:58.229,0:02:01.350long a lot to think what we were0:01:59.219,0:02:03.719originally envisioned so as awesome as0:02:01.350,0:02:05.520you may think the show has been we0:02:03.719,0:02:08.929actually had even we had even grander0:02:05.520,0:02:11.489plans so this is just an experiment0:02:08.929,0:02:12.770might even put this live on the feed is0:02:11.489,0:02:14.420kind of like a0:02:12.770,0:02:17.300call it a data point how about that Andy0:02:14.420,0:02:18.860I like it I like that a lot because the0:02:17.300,0:02:21.770advantage is that because I'm using a0:02:18.860,0:02:24.110product called restream that I can pipe0:02:21.770,0:02:25.340two different output so this is actually0:02:24.110,0:02:28.190going to Frank's world TV YouTube0:02:25.340,0:02:31.400channel our Facebook live feed and0:02:28.190,0:02:35.180because of the magic of automation this0:02:31.400,0:02:38.930is also going to be I'm actually going0:02:35.180,0:02:41.360to once this ends will see that it0:02:38.930,0:02:45.530should pick up the arm the video feed0:02:41.360,0:02:47.570from Facebook and then pipe that into an0:02:45.530,0:02:50.870mp3 file which should be ready for0:02:47.570,0:02:56.180upload to the scene so again it's data0:02:50.870,0:02:57.490science right in data magic it's not0:02:56.180,0:03:01.400science0:02:57.490,0:03:03.890I told that to customers a lot like you0:03:01.400,0:03:05.690know it's ok to fail because it's called0:03:03.890,0:03:09.740data science it's not in Dean in the0:03:05.690,0:03:11.660perfection so you know and and silently0:03:09.740,0:03:13.700calling it science what you say well it0:03:11.660,0:03:19.010failed but you know we weren't sure it0:03:13.700,0:03:20.600was gonna work so it's kind of so how's0:03:19.010,0:03:23.270it going I know you have a call in like0:03:20.600,0:03:27.380five minutes but yeah it's I'm I'm0:03:23.270,0:03:29.150waiting on someone and if they if

and0:03:34.010,0:03:39.620he's older but he is a data scientist as0:03:37.190,0:03:42.140well and he sometimes gets distracted0:03:39.620,0:03:43.550heads down that's why you pinged me0:03:42.140,0:03:45.080about five minutes till the call I was0:03:43.550,0:03:46.280like well I got a call in five minutes0:03:45.080,0:03:50.510five let's do it0:03:46.280,0:03:53.180I was upstairs

that's0:03:56.810,0:04:02.960why we registered data-driven dot TV so0:04:01.370,0:04:04.700okay there's another reason we want to0:04:02.960,0:04:07.340register theirs right there's a reason0:04:04.700,0:04:08.930why we're distr dot TV but the real0:04:07.340,0:04:13.340reason we didn't do coms because it was0:04:08.930,0:04:16.460taken so well there was that full0:04:13.340,0:04:18.020transparency minor and convenience minor0:04:16.460,0:04:19.670inconvenience I turned it into a0:04:18.020,0:04:21.950potential opportunity to make it into a0:04:19.670,0:04:25.070video podcast but the and0:04:21.950,0:04:28.010look here we are so don't give up on0:04:25.070,0:04:29.450your dreams kids that's right no things0:04:28.010,0:04:33.200are

it's usually0:04:38.900,0:04:46.520feast or famine but there's a lot of0:04:42.410,0:04:47.690factors kind of weighing in on all of0:04:46.520,0:04:50.480that today0:04:47.690,0:04:53.990I think 2020 has been that kind of year0:04:50.480,0:04:58.040where it's just been you know one thing0:04:53.990,0:05:02.000after after another but Frank you and I0:04:58.040,0:05:04.070are both people of faith

that0:05:08.960,0:05:15.830kind of stuff that way if you're if0:05:13.760,0:05:19.300you're don't believe in God then you0:05:15.830,0:05:22.940know you can take the stoic approaches0:05:19.300,0:05:25.100um anyway I mean well and we have you0:05:22.940,0:05:27.410know we had I remember a couple of0:05:25.100,0:05:29.090people that we interviewed brought
