In this week’s episode Greg and Patrick continue their discussion from last week in the Mättrix Part deux in which we continue to explore the magic of matrices including estimation, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Along the way they also discuss flawed audio transcripts, 50 shades of Greg, drunkenly shoving a matrix, drug mules, things you need, isomorphic interdigitation, plywood and tennis balls, heroin filled condoms, talking to volleyballs, bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy, meat grinders, not going to prom, vector bouquets, and the Wright Stuff.
