Scot & Jamie:  [0:39] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason and Scott show listeners, well yesterday was the third annual Amazon Prime day and it's Day show we want to go over the highlights with a Jason and Scott exclusive Prime Day hot take. [1:09] Well Jason did you take advantage of Amazon Prime. Jason:  [1:12] I did not as voluminously as I might have thought I would but I found a few things to buy. Scot & Jamie:  [1:18] I think the problem with you and I as we're probably at at Peak Echo so it was, it's actually frustrating day when you're at pekic Echo and you paid no I think I paid north of like 18190 for my couple of my Echoes and to see it there at at a.
