0:00.0	Quick one. My team tells me we actually have very few reviews relative to the weekly audience
0:07.4	numbers. This is no doubt my fault, as I've always felt a little weird about asking you
0:12.2	to do something for me. But clearly, if you don't ask, you don't get. So if you're enjoying
0:17.6	the show, if it's providing you value, please take 30 seconds and leave a review on Apple
0:22.6	or Spotify. In doing so, you'll help the show rank higher, which means we can continue
0:27.5	to attract the brightest and most trustworthy people in science. My team and I have big

1:14.2	not willing to look at that. I don't want my kids to grow up and be like, oh, my dad was
1:19.2	the one the side at guy. I need to look at the bigger picture. I've got the resources
1:23.3	now. I've got the team. It would be irresponsible for me not to. I really, truly sincerely want
1:28.9	them to look at the internet and say, wow, my dad was pretty even killed and he was cool.
1:37.4	Welcome back to another episode of The Proof. I'm Simon Hill, your show host. Today's guest
1:43.8	is Thomas DeLauer. Many of you may already be familiar with Thomas as he boasts an impressive
1:50.6	YouTube channel with a staggering three million subscribers and 15 million monthly views.
