Hello and welcome to data driven, the podcast where we explore the emerging fields of data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

00:00:39 Frank

If you like to think of data as the new oil, then you can think of us as well Car Talk because we focus on where the rubber meets the verb.

00:00:46 Frank

Road and with me on this epic virtual road trip down the information superhighway, as always is Andy Lander. How's it going, Andy?

00:00:54 Andy

Good Frank, how are you brother?

00:00:56 Frank

00:01:59 Frank

Uh, while twelve. That weekend, my wife and I counted it like 12 dogs who kind of come through our house the last two years. Three years.

00:02:06 Andy

Nice.
