Transcript Jason: [0:24] Welcome to the Jason and Scott show this is episode 240 being recorded on Friday October 16th 2020 I’m your host Jason retailgeek Goldberg and as usual I’m here with your co-host Scot Wingo. Scot: [0:39] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott show listeners. Well it has been a very busy week of e-commerce news we had prime day this week earlier Tuesday and Wednesday that was exciting and then also one of your favorite days Jason the US Census Data dropped so, and we talked about that just way back in episode 239, so we thought we would put a short show out there really just kind of review the news and make sure everyone was up-to-date because we’re heading into the holiday period. Jason: [1:10] That’s awesome and it feels special for me because we’re recording this show on a rarity for us you and I are spending Friday night together so I feel like I’m usually only good enough for a week night with you so I feel special that I got a weekend. Scot: [1:24] Yeah I’m going clubbing later so I had time to squeeze you in. Jason: [1:27] Nice I appreciate it well before we jump into all the awesome content for this show, I wanted to remind listeners that if you’ve been enjoying the podcast the best way to reward us for all the hard work we put into it is to jump onto iTunes and give us that five star review, it’s annoyingly difficult you you actually have to go into the podcast app, is the only place to write reviews and you can write a review or you can just click on the five-star and be done with it, but that really helps us with discoverability on the on the various platforms and help us find new listeners so if everyone would take a moment to do that we’d greatly appreciate it. Scot: [2:08] Yeah and then also today was kind of exciting you and I were both quoted in the New York Times. Jason: [2:16] Yeah yeah I know I feel like we finally made it. Scot: [2:19] Yeah we can did your mom see what did you tell your mom what’s that. Jason: [2:24] Yeah yeah I did share it with some family but more fun my social network just has a lot of people that read the New York Times regularly and even, number of people apparently there’s this till this thing where they, they take all the Articles from the website and they somehow recreate them on Papyrus and I guess mail them to people, so apparently there’s some kind of physical thing called The New York Times that you can read and I actually had several family members that read the Papyrus reach out and say I have no idea what you do you seem like a total fraud but you’re in the New York time so you’re legit now. Scot: [3:05] Wow good I’m glad that that strengthen your relationship with your family. Jason: [3:10] Yeah well they still don’t like me but they were impressed by that one moment I think they all correctly assumed I was riding on your coattails. Scot: [3:17] Yeah they’re they’re tiny so it’s good that you can fit on there the. The will put a link to the article in the show notes but it was really a
