  I
• 1:34
  find

  it's
• 1:35
  really
• 1:35
  interesting
• 1:35
  that
• 1:35
  Amazon
• 1:36
  is
• 1:36
  launching

  that's

  what
• 1:40
  they're
• 1:40
  talking
• 1:40
  about.
• 1:41
  That's
• 1:41
  crazy
• 1:41
  when
• 1:41
  you
• 1:42
  stop
• 1:42
  and
• 1:42
  think
• 1:42
  about
• 1:42
  it.
• 1:42
  That
• 1:43
  tells
• 1:43
  me
• 1:43
  Amazon

  jonesing

  They

  are
• 1:48
  100%
• 1:48

• 1:50
  Number
• 1:50
  two,
• 1:50
  Alexa
• 1:51
  has
• 1:51
  an
• 1:51
  installed
• 1:52
  user
• 1:52

• 1:52
  and
• 1:53
  the
• 1:53

• 1:53
  owners
• 1:54
  like
• 1:55
  I
• 1:55
  think
• 1:55
  of,
• 1:55
  like
• 1:55
  our
• 1:55
  old
• 1:55
  buddy
• 1:56
  Carter
• 1:56
  Jensen
• 1:56
  used
• 1:57
  to
• 1:57
  be
• 1:57
  on
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  show
• 1:57
  a
• 1:57
  long
• 1:57
  time
• 1:58
  ago.
• 1:58
  They're
• 1:59
  probably
• 1:59
  likely
• 1:59
  the

  for
• 2:00

• 2:01
  So
• 2:01
  that
• 2:02
  is
• 2:02
  also
• 2:02
  a
• 2:02
  very
• 2:02
  good

  good
• 2:10
  a
• 2:10
  chance
• 2:10
  as
• 2:10
  any
• 2:11
  to
• 2:11
  win
• 2:11
  that
• 2:11
  battle
• 2:12
  in
• 2:12
  my
• 2:12
  opinion,
• 2:12
  even

  though
• 2:13
  ChatGPT
• 2:13
  may
• 2:14
  have
• 2:14

• 2:37
  It

  did
• 2:37
  it
• 2:37
  and

  then

  in
• 2:39
  10
• 2:39
  minutes
• 2:39
  or
• 2:40
  less
• 2:40
  because
• 2:40
  I
• 2:40
  don't
• 2:40
  want
• 2:40
  to
• 2:40
  do
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  work.
• 2:41
  It
• 2:41
  gave
• 2:42
  me
• 2:42
  more
• 2:42
  options.
• 2:43
  I
• 2:43
  didn't
• 2:43
  have
• 2:43
  time
• 2:43
  to
• 2:44
  go
• 2:44
  and
• 2:44
  order
• 2:44
  it
• 2:44
  and
• 2:45
  see,
• 2:45
  and
• 2:45
  trial
• 2:45
  it
• 2:45
  out
• 2:46
  and
• 2:46
  see
• 2:46
  how
• 2:46
  many
• 2:46
  of
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  items
• 2:47
  can
• 2:47
  come
• 2:47
  directly
• 2:47
  from
• 2:48
  Amazon
• 2:48
  from
• 2:48
  the
• 2:48
  recipe.
• 2:49
  But
• 2:49
  hey,
• 2:49
  it's
• 2:50
  got
• 2:50
  me
• 2:50
  intrigued
• 2:50
  and
• 2:51
  I'm
• 2:51
  interested
• 2:51
  in
• 2:51
  it.
• 2:51
  So
• 2:52
  yeah,
• 2:52
  I'm,
• 2:52
  I'm
• 2:52
  buying
• 2:53
  this
• 2:53
  one.
• 2:54
  Yeah,
• 2:54
  I
• 2:54
  think
• 2:54
  I
• 2:54
  agree.
• 2:55
  I
• 2:55
  mean
• 2:55
  I
• 2:55
  get
• 2:55
  why
• 2:55
  Amazon
• 2:56
  is
• 2:56
  doing
• 2:56
  this
• 2:57
  for
• 2:57
  all
• 2:57
  the
• 2:58
  reasons
• 2:58
  that
• 2:58
  you
• 2:58
  shared
• 2:58
  there.
• 2:59
  They're
• 2:59
  really
• 2:59
  trying
• 3:00
  to
• 3:00
  continue
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  build
• 3:02
  out
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  Amazon
• 3:03
  ecosystem
• 3:03
  similar
• 3:04
  to.
• 3:04
  It
• 3:04
  reminds
• 3:05
  me
• 3:05
  of
• 3:05
  now
• 3:05
  of
• 3:05
  like
• 3:06
  how
• 3:06
  Apple,
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  Apple
• 3:07
  ecosystem
• 3:08
  is.
• 3:08
  So
• 3:08
  I
• 3:08
  like
• 3:08
  that
• 3:08
  a
• 3:09
  lot
• 3:09
  because
• 3:10
  I've
• 3:10
  never
• 3:10
  been
• 3:10
  an
• 3:10
  Alexa
• 3:11
  fan.
• 3:12
  So
• 3:12
  I've
• 3:13
  always,
• 3:13
  I've
• 3:13
  always
• 3:14
  kind
• 3:14
  of
• 3:14
  kept
• 3:14
  it
• 3:14
  outside.
• 3:15
  It
• 3:15
  didn't
• 3:15
  seem
• 3:15
  to
• 3:15
  have
• 3:16
  enough
• 3:16
  use
• 3:17
  or
• 3:17
  enough
• 3:18
  use
• 3:18
  cases
• 3:18
  for
• 3:18
  me
• 3:18
  to
• 3:19
  actually
• 3:19
  bite
• 3:20
  down,
• 3:20
  bite
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  bullet
• 3:21
  and
• 3:21
  get
• 3:21
  one.
• 3:21
  But
• 3:22
  you
• 3:22
  know,
• 3:23
  the
• 3:23
  problem
• 3:23
  that
• 3:23
  I
• 3:23
  have
• 3:24
  with
• 3:24
  this
• 3:24
  is
• 3:24
  that
• 3:24
  you're
• 3:25
  still
• 3:25
  reliant
• 3:26
  on
• 3:27
  two
• 3:28
  retailers
• 3:29
  for
• 3:29
  your
• 3:29
  groceries.
• 3:30
  And
• 3:30
  that's
• 3:30
  the
• 3:31
  problem
• 3:31
  that
• 3:31
  I
• 3:31
  have.
• 3:32
  Like
• 3:32
  I
• 3:32
  don't
• 3:33
  know
• 3:33
  that
• 3:33
  one.
• 3:34
  You
• 3:34
  know,
• 3:35
  I
• 3:35
  can
• 3:35
  go
• 3:35
  to
• 3:35
  Chatbots
• 3:36
  and
• 3:36
  get,
• 3:37
  put
• 3:37
  in
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  same
• 3:38
  query
• 3:38
  and
• 3:38
  get
• 3:39
  a
• 3:39
  whole
• 3:39
  list
• 3:40
  of
• 3:40
  different
• 3:40
  options
• 3:41
  I
• 3:41
  can
• 3:41
  get.
• 3:42
  Retailers
• 3:42
  across
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  board
• 3:43
  are
• 3:43
  not
• 3:43
  limited
• 3:43
  to
• 3:44
  just
• 3:44
  Amazon
• 3:45
  Fresh
• 3:45
  Delivery
• 3:46
  and,
• 3:47
  and
• 3:47
  Whole
• 3:47
  Foods.
• 3:48
  And
• 3:48
  I
• 3:48
  think
• 3:48
  that
• 3:49
  there's
• 3:49
  still
• 3:49
  a
• 3:49
  price
• 3:50
  price
• 3:51
  perception
• 3:51
  problem
• 3:51
  with
• 3:52
  Whole
• 3:52
  Foods
• 3:53
  when
• 3:53
  I'm
• 3:53
  ordering
• 3:53
  Paleo
• 3:54
  breakfast,
• 3:54
  things
• 3:55
  like
• 3:55
  those
• 3:55
  products
• 3:56
  are
• 3:56
  expensive.
• 3:57
  So
• 3:57
  I
• 3:57
  think,
• 3:58
  you
• 3:58
  know,
• 3:58
  without
• 3:58
  quality
• 4:00
  being
• 4:01
  significant
• 4:01
  enough
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  me
• 4:03
  and
• 4:03
  with
• 4:03
  the,
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  price
• 4:04
  perception
• 4:05
  that
• 4:05
  I'm
• 4:05
  going
• 4:05
  to
• 4:05
  be
• 4:06
  paying
• 4:06
  more
• 4:06
  for
• 4:06
  my
• 4:07
  products
• 4:07
  delivered
• 4:07
  from
• 4:07
  Whole
• 4:08
  Foods
• 4:08
  even
• 4:08
  though
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08
  can
• 4:09
  get
• 4:09
  them
• 4:09
  in
• 4:09
  one
• 4:09
  cart.
• 4:10
  I
• 4:10
  think
• 4:10
  my
• 4:11
  best
• 4:11
  move
• 4:11
  as
• 4:11
  a
• 4:11
  consumer
• 4:12
  is
• 4:12
  to
• 4:13
  independent
• 4:14
  source
• 4:14
  like
• 4:14
  ChatGPT
• 4:15
  type
• 4:16
  in
• 4:16
  the
• 4:16
  same
• 4:16
  query,
• 4:17
  have
• 4:17
  those
• 4:17
  items
• 4:18
  added
• 4:18
  to

  my

• 4:19
  check

  out
• 4:20
  through,
• 4:20
  you
• 4:20
  know,
• 4:20
  Walmart
• 4:21
  Chat
• 4:21
  GPT.
• 4:23
  Assuming
• 4:24
  they
• 4:24
  add
• 4:24
  groceries,
• 4:25
  which
• 4:25
  I
• 4:25
  guess
• 4:25
  that
• 4:25
  that's
• 4:26
  something
• 4:26
  that
• 4:26
  they
• 4:26
  haven't
• 4:26
  done
• 4:27
  right
• 4:27
  now.
• 4:27
  But
• 4:27
  check
• 4:28
  out
• 4:28
  and
• 4:28
  see,
• 4:28
  do
• 4:29
  a
• 4:29
  price
• 4:29
  comparison
• 4:30
  and
• 4:30
  say
• 4:30
  where,
• 4:30
  where
• 4:31
  in
• 4:31
  all
• 4:31
  of
• 4:32
  my
• 4:32
  grocery
• 4:32
  universe
• 4:33
  can
• 4:33
  I
• 4:33
  get
• 4:34
  this
• 4:34
  list
• 4:34
  of
• 4:35
  ingredients
• 4:36
  for
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  best
• 4:36
  price
• 4:37
  possible
• 4:37
  and
• 4:37
  then
• 4:38
  be
• 4:38
  able
• 4:38
  to
• 4:38
  make
• 4:38
  a
• 4:39
  decision
• 4:39
  versus
• 4:40
  just
• 4:40
  being
• 4:40
  limited
• 4:41
  to
• 4:41
  what's
• 4:41
  within
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  Amazon
• 4:43
  and
• 4:43
  Whole

  Foods
• 4:44
  product
• 4:44
  environment?
• 4:45
  Yeah,
• 4:45
  and
• 4:46
  yeah,
• 4:46
  it's
• 4:46
  a
• 4:47
  great
• 4:47
  question
• 4:47
  and
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  question
• 4:47
  comes
• 4:48
  down
• 4:48
  to
• 4:48
  how
• 4:48
  many
• 4:48
  people
• 4:48
  are
• 4:49
  like
• 4:49
  you
• 4:49
  versus
• 4:50
  how
• 4:50
  many
• 4:50
  people
• 4:50
  are
• 4:51
  just
• 4:51
  okay
• 4:51
  with
• 4:52
  getting
• 4:52
  products
• 4:53
  they
• 4:53
  can
• 4:53
  trust
• 4:54
  enough
• 4:54
  from
• 4:54
  Amazon
• 4:55
  and
• 4:55
  then
• 4:56
  supplementing
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  higher
• 4:57
  priced
• 4:57
  products
• 4:57
  they
• 4:58
  want
• 4:58
  to
• 4:58
  from
• 4:58
  Whole
• 4:58
  Foods
• 4:59
  and.
• 4:59
  And
• 4:59
  the
• 5:00
  other
• 5:00
  options
• 5:00
  too.
• 5:00
  Let's
• 5:00
  not
• 5:01
  forget
• 5:01
  Amazon
• 5:01
  has
• 5:01
  a
• 5:02
  marketplace
• 5:02
  of
• 5:02
  grocers
• 5:03
  available
• 5:04
  to
• 5:04
  it
• 5:04
  that
• 5:04
  are
• 5:04
  selling
• 5:05
  through
• 5:05
  the
• 5:05
  platform.
• 5:05
  We've
• 5:05
  always
• 5:06
  asked
• 5:06
  why
• 5:06
  they're
• 5:06
  doing
• 5:06
  that.
• 5:07
  I
• 5:07
  don't
• 5:07
  really
• 5:08
  understand
• 5:08
  that,
• 5:08
  but
• 5:09
  they
• 5:09
  do.
• 5:09
  And
• 5:10
  we're
• 5:10
  going
• 5:10
  to
• 5:10
  talk.
• 5:10
  You
• 5:11
  know,
• 5:11
  there's
• 5:11
  quite
• 5:12
  a
• 5:12
  few
• 5:12
  of
• 5:12
  them
• 5:12
  that
• 5:12
  are
• 5:12
  out
• 5:12
  there
• 5:13
  that
• 5:13
  are
• 5:13
  part
• 5:13
  of
• 5:13
  that
• 5:13
  stable,
• 5:14
  so
• 5:14
  it's
• 5:14
  wild.
