Scot: [0:40] Jason and welcome back Jason Scott show listeners yesterday Facebook announced an exciting new feature for Instagram called checkout on Instagram those marketing Geniuses over there so today we wanted to give you our hot take on that. Jason: [0:58] I am excited to talk about that Scott but before we jump into it you are officially podcast cheating on me now. Scot: [1:07] I am I am you know we need full disclosure I told Jason I was going to do a podcast use very supportive so we have an open podcast relationship if Jason wants to do a podcast that’s fine but I really know he doesn’t have time to so when your Chief Commerce retail e-commerce strategy officer don’t have time for one podcast baby new podcast is really kind of a spiffy thing so it’s the future Vehicles so I was framework called vehicle 2.0 where we talked about what’s eclectic are changing car ownership electrification an autonomous vehicles so if any of those things are interesting to you at over the vehicle to. Get spooky., and you can find a new podcast would love to bring some Jason Scott show folks over there another funny thing is we got a call a couple weeks ago from Lyft they’re having a big event in Houston it’s a rodeo to Sunday your. [2:10] Find out your first review and 30 Day Rodeo can you imagine a lot of people that go to the just a lot of radio and so we didn’t experiment which is pretty interesting we did a kind of driver rewards thing where we set up right near this rodeo and lift would send messages out two drivers that were doing a lot of work on their Network and giving free car washes so that was fun we wash over 400 vehicles in a pretty short 3-day. It was three days around but it’s really time or in the evenings so does a lot of car washing soap not it’s exciting to partner with companies like Lyft there are also in their IPO process if people are interested in IPOs the lift. [2:57] Roadshow is available it’s really cool by 30 minute video I think it’s well worth your time you go to Retail Road show.com the SEC makes companies now publish their Roadshow and it’s a little known fact that they do that so I can go out there and do that it is only up there for about a week so we’re recording this on the 20th and I think I’ll probably be down by the 3rd or 24th so rachaelrayshow.com to watch Lyft IPO it’s a really cool another aspect of what looks spelling so that’s what’s going on in my room. Jason: [3:30] That is very cool you in one of your first podcast episodes for vehicle 2.0 you broke down the Lyft s-1 filing which was also very informative and interesting. Scot: [3:43] Yeah yeah and unkind of swing that back over here diepio pipeline is is just bursting with with all kinds of convenience really goodness so we could lift in there Ubers rumored to be in the pipeline instacart Postmates are also candidates and then as he sings come out we’ll be covering all the distance cop show if they’re little more relevant than this was.
