  Wow,

• 1:01
  with
• 1:01
  all,
• 1:01
  with
• 1:02
  all
• 1:02
  that
• 1:02
  out
• 1:02
  of
• 1:02
  the
• 1:02
  way,
• 1:03
  do
• 1:03
  you
• 1:03
  think,
• 1:04
  Mr.
• 1:04
  He
• 1:04
  just
• 1:05
  goes
• 1:05
  by
• 1:05
  Jason

  friends
• 1:06
  with
• 1:06
  him.
• 1:07
  But
• 1:07
  do
• 1:07
  you
• 1:07
  think
• 1:07
  that
• 1:07
  Beagle
• 1:08
  is
• 1:08
  the
• 1:08
  right
• 1:08
  person
• 1:09
  to
• 1:09
  head
• 1:10
  Amazon's
• 1:10
  grocery
• 1:11
  strategy?
• 1:12
  Whoa.
• 1:13
  All
• 1:13
  right.
• 1:13
  We're
• 1:13
  getting
• 1:13
  started
• 1:14
  off
• 1:14
  hot
• 1:14
  here
• 1:14
  again
• 1:15
  and
• 1:15
  man,
• 1:16
  I
• 1:16
  mean,
• 1:17
  I
• 1:17
  got
• 1:17
  to,
• 1:18
  I
• 1:18
  got
• 1:18
  to
• 1:18
  think
• 1:18
  about
• 1:18
  how
• 1:19
  I
• 1:19
  want
• 1:19
  to
• 1:19
  answer
• 1:19
  that
• 1:20
  question.
• 1:20
  You
• 1:20
  know,
• 1:20
  I
• 1:20
  think
• 1:21
  Jason
• 1:21
  seems
• 1:21
  like
• 1:21
  a
• 1:21
  good
• 1:22
  dude,
• 1:22
  but,
• 1:22
  you
• 1:23
  know,
• 1:23
  I
• 1:23
  got
• 1:23
  to
• 1:23
  be
• 1:23
  true,
• 1:24
  true
• 1:24
  to
• 1:24
  the
• 1:24
  show
• 1:24
  and
• 1:25
  give
• 1:25
  my
• 1:25
  opinion
• 1:25
  here.
• 1:25
  But
• 1:26
  there's
• 1:26
  a
• 1:26
  lot
• 1:26
  to
• 1:27
  unpack
• 1:27
  in
• 1:27
  this
• 1:27
  headline,
• 1:28
  which
• 1:28
  is
• 1:28
  why
• 1:28
  I
• 1:28
  think
• 1:28
  we
• 1:28
  started
• 1:29
  out
• 1:29
  with
• 1:29
  it.
• 1:30
  And
• 1:30
  I
• 1:30
  think
• 1:31
  it
• 1:31
  all
• 1:31
  depends
• 1:31
  on
• 1:31
  what
• 1:31
  Amazon's
• 1:32
  goal
• 1:32
  is
• 1:32
  here
• 1:32
  with
• 1:33
  their
• 1:33
  grocery
• 1:33
  strategy.
• 1:33
  You
• 1:34
  know,
• 1:34
  if
• 1:34
  it's,
• 1:34
  if
• 1:35
  it's
• 1:35
  retreat,
• 1:36
  which
• 1:36
  given
• 1:36
  the
• 1:37
  Amazon
• 1:37
  Go
• 1:37
  headlines,
• 1:38
  I
• 1:38
  kind
• 1:39
  of
• 1:39
  think
• 1:39
  that
• 1:39
  might
• 1:39
  be
• 1:39
  what
• 1:39
  it
• 1:40
  is.
• 1:40
  It's
• 1:40
  just
• 1:40
  like
• 1:41
  throw
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  white
• 1:42
  flag
• 1:42
  and
• 1:42
  call
• 1:42
  it
• 1:42
  a
• 1:43
  day,
• 1:43
  then,
• 1:43
  sure,
• 1:44
  give
• 1:44
  him
• 1:44
  more
• 1:44
  responsibility.
• 1:45
  Wind
• 1:45
  down
• 1:45
  Amazon
• 1:46
  Fresh
• 1:46
  and
• 1:46
  Amazon
• 1:47
  go
• 1:47
  make
• 1:47
  that
• 1:47
  part
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  his
• 1:48
  job.
• 1:48
  And
• 1:48
  it
• 1:49
  feels
• 1:49
  like
• 1:49
  that's
• 1:49
  what
• 1:49
  they're
• 1:49
  doing
• 1:50
  to
• 1:50
  me.
• 1:50
  But
• 1:51
  if
• 1:51
  it's
• 1:51
  grow
• 1:51
  the
• 1:52
  business,
• 1:53
  honestly,
• 1:53
  I'm
• 1:53
  a
• 1:53
  little,
• 1:54
  little
• 1:54
  skeptical.
• 1:55
  And
• 1:55
  I
• 1:55
  think
• 1:55
  the
• 1:55
  dude,
• 1:56
  sharp,
• 1:56
  he's
• 1:56
  articulate,
• 1:57
  but
• 1:58
  I
• 1:58
  don't,
• 1:58
  I
• 1:58
  don't
• 1:59
  really
• 1:59
  know
• 1:59
  what
• 1:59
  he's
• 1:59
  done
• 1:59
  for
• 2:00
  Whole
• 2:00
  Foods.
• 2:00
  I
• 2:00
  mean,
• 2:00
  the
• 2:00
  record
• 2:01
  sales
• 2:01
  growth
• 2:01
  claim
• 2:02
  kind
• 2:02
  of
• 2:02
  shocked
• 2:03
  me
• 2:03
  a
• 2:03
  little
• 2:03
  bit,
• 2:04
  you
• 2:04
  know,
• 2:04
  especially
• 2:05
  given
• 2:05
  that
• 2:05
  massive
• 2:06
  inflation
• 2:06
  we've
• 2:06
  had
• 2:06
  too,
• 2:07
  in
• 2:07
  the
• 2:07
  grocery
• 2:07
  industry.
• 2:07
  So
• 2:08
  I'm
• 2:08
  a
• 2:08
  little
• 2:08
  bit
• 2:08
  like,
• 2:08
  okay,
• 2:09
  how
• 2:09
  much
• 2:09
  do
• 2:09
  I
• 2:09
  put
• 2:09
  into
• 2:10
  that
• 2:10
  claim?
• 2:10
  You
• 2:10
  know,
• 2:10
  it
• 2:11
  sounds
• 2:11
  like
• 2:11
  something
• 2:11
  trying
• 2:11
  to
• 2:11
  do
• 2:11
  to,
• 2:12
  you
• 2:12
  know,
• 2:12
  you
• 2:13
  know,
• 2:13
  excitement
• 2:14
  the
• 2:15
  daily
• 2:15
  shop,
• 2:15
  which
• 2:15
  is
• 2:16
  like
• 2:16
  his
• 2:16
  like
• 2:17
  bread
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  butter
• 2:18
  strategy
• 2:18
  for
• 2:19
  Whole
• 2:19
  Foods
• 2:19
  is
• 2:20
  just
• 2:20
  getting
• 2:20
  off
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  ground.
• 2:21
  I
• 2:21
  don't
• 2:21
  think
• 2:21
  we
• 2:22
  can
• 2:22
  say
• 2:22
  that
• 2:22
  that's
• 2:23
  successful
• 2:23
  yet
• 2:23
  and
• 2:23
  we
• 2:23
  have
• 2:24
  a
• 2:24
  lot
• 2:24
  of
• 2:24
  skepticism
• 2:25
  about
• 2:25
  how
• 2:25
  well
• 2:26
  that's
• 2:26
  going
• 2:26
  to
• 2:26
  work
• 2:27
  too.
• 2:27
  And
• 2:27
  you
• 2:27
  know,
• 2:28
  I
• 2:28
  just
• 2:28
  go
• 2:28
  back
• 2:28
  to
• 2:28
  what
• 2:28
  I've
• 2:28
  said
• 2:28
  on
• 2:28
  the
• 2:29
  show
• 2:29
  a
• 2:29
  lot
• 2:29
  of
• 2:29
  times.
• 2:29
  Is
• 2:29
  Whole
• 2:30
  Foods
• 2:30
  really
• 2:30
  better
• 2:30
  off
• 2:31
  now
• 2:31
  than
• 2:31
  it
• 2:31
  Was
• 2:32
  back
• 2:32
  in
• 2:32
  2017?
• 2:34
  I
• 2:34
  don't
• 2:34
  think
• 2:34
  so.
• 2:35
  I
• 2:35
  mean,
• 2:35
  I
• 2:35
  think
• 2:35
  Walmart
• 2:36
  is
• 2:36
  stronger
• 2:36
  with
• 2:36
  upper
• 2:37
  incomes.
• 2:37
  Sprout
• 2:38
  is
• 2:38
  doing
• 2:38
  great.
• 2:39
  Sprouts
• 2:39
  is
• 2:40
  doing
• 2:40
  great.
• 2:40
  Like,
• 2:40
  so
• 2:41
  I
• 2:41
  just
• 2:41
  don't
• 2:41
  know
• 2:41
  if
• 2:41
  the
• 2:42
  track
• 2:42
  record's
• 2:42
  there
• 2:42
  yet
• 2:43
  to
• 2:43
  be
• 2:43
  like,
• 2:43
  this
• 2:43
  is
• 2:43
  the
• 2:44
  guy
• 2:44
  that's
• 2:44
  going
• 2:44
  to
• 2:44
  re
• 2:44
  enliven
• 2:45
  our
• 2:45
  Amazon,
• 2:46
  you
• 2:46
  know,
• 2:46
  grocery
• 2:47
  growth
• 2:47
  strategy.
• 2:48
  It
• 2:48
  feels
• 2:49
  like,
• 2:49
  it
• 2:49
  feels
• 2:49
  like
• 2:49
  a
• 2:49
  promotion
• 2:50
  based
• 2:50
  on
• 2:50
  potential
• 2:51
  versus
• 2:51
  like
• 2:51
  actual
• 2:52
  experience
• 2:53
  and
• 2:53
  performance
• 2:53
  to
• 2:53
  me,
• 2:54
  quite
• 2:54
  honestly.
• 2:54
  Yeah,
• 2:55
  I
• 2:55
  mean,
• 2:55
  I
• 2:55
  think
• 2:55
  that
• 2:56
  you
• 2:56
  bring
• 2:56
  up
• 2:56
  a
• 2:56
  really
• 2:56
  important
• 2:57
  point
• 2:57
  which
• 2:58
  is
• 2:58
  where
• 2:59
  is
• 2:59
  the
• 2:59
  future
• 3:00
  for
• 3:00
  Amazon
• 3:01
  in
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  grocery
• 3:01
  space?
• 3:02
  I
• 3:02
  think
• 3:02
  that's
• 3:02
  what
• 3:02
  we
• 3:02
  really
• 3:03
  have
• 3:03
  to
• 3:03
  focus
• 3:03
  on
• 3:03
  here
• 3:04
  and
• 3:04
  now.
• 3:05
  This,
• 3:05
  this,
• 3:06
  this
• 3:07
  like
• 3:08
  placement
• 3:08
  of
• 3:08
  Beagle.
• 3:09
  Now
• 3:10
  if,
• 3:10
  if
• 3:10
  it
• 3:11
  follows
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  way
• 3:12
  that
• 3:12
  it
• 3:13
  should
• 3:13
  go,
• 3:13
  I
• 3:13
  think
• 3:13
  there
• 3:14
  certainly
• 3:14
  could
• 3:14
  be
• 3:14
  some
• 3:15
  positives
• 3:15
  coming
• 3:16
  out
• 3:16
  of
• 3:16
  this.
• 3:16
  Like,
• 3:17
  is
• 3:17
  he
• 3:17
  leading
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  strategy?
• 3:18
  He
• 3:19
  does
• 3:19
  know
• 3:19
  the
• 3:20
  Whole
• 3:20
  Foods
• 3:20
  shopper.
• 3:20
  He's
• 3:21
  been
• 3:21
  in
• 3:21
  the
• 3:21
  Whole
• 3:22
  Foods
• 3:22
  ecosystem
• 3:22
  for
• 3:23
  a
• 3:23
  very
• 3:23
  long
• 3:23
  time.
• 3:24
  He
• 3:24
  knows
• 3:24
  what
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  Whole
• 3:25
  Foods
• 3:25
  customers
• 3:26
  are
• 3:26
  expecting.
• 3:27
  I
• 3:27
  think
• 3:27
  it
• 3:27
  just
• 3:27
  depends
• 3:28
  on
• 3:28
  will
• 3:29
  he
• 3:29
  get
• 3:29
  to
• 3:30
  start
• 3:30
  making
• 3:30
  calls
• 3:31
  about
• 3:31
  the
• 3:32
  daily
• 3:32
  shop
• 3:32
  that
• 3:32
  you
• 3:33
  mentioned
• 3:33
  or
• 3:33
  the
• 3:34
  way
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  direction
• 3:34
  in
• 3:35
  which
• 3:35
  Amazon
• 3:35
  takes
• 3:36
  grocery.
• 3:37
  And
• 3:38
  I
• 3:38
  don't
• 3:38
  know
• 3:39
  that
• 3:39
  that's
• 3:40
  possible.
• 3:40
  Like,
• 3:40
  I
• 3:41
  think
• 3:41
  it's
• 3:41
  a
• 3:41
  good,
• 3:41
  it's
• 3:41
  a
• 3:42
  good
• 3:42
  thing
• 3:42
  to
• 3:42
  do.
• 3:42
  I
• 3:42
  think
• 3:43
  Amazon
• 3:43
  is
• 3:44
  taking
• 3:44
  a
• 3:44
  hard
• 3:44
  look
• 3:44
  at
• 3:45
  what
• 3:45
  their
• 3:45
  grocery
• 3:45
  strategy
• 3:46
  should
• 3:46
  be
• 3:46
  and
• 3:47
  if
• 3:47
  he's
• 3:47
  put
• 3:47
  in
• 3:48
  this
• 3:48
  role
• 3:48
  and
• 3:48
  he's
• 3:49
  really
• 3:49
  in
• 3:49
  control
• 3:49
  of
• 3:50
  driving
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  strategy,
• 3:50
  there
• 3:51
  could
• 3:51
  be
• 3:51
  some
• 3:52
  changes.
• 3:53
  My
• 3:53
  thought
• 3:53
  though,
• 3:54
  Chris,
• 3:54
  is
• 3:54
  that
• 3:54
  the
• 3:55
  more
• 3:55
  likely
• 3:55
  scenario
• 3:56
  is
• 3:56
  that
• 3:56
  we
• 3:56
  continue
• 3:57
  to
• 3:57
  kind
• 3:57
  of
• 3:57
  further
• 3:58
  see
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  degradation
• 3:58
  of
• 3:59
  Whole
• 3:59
  Foods
• 3:59
  as
• 3:59
  we
• 3:59
  know
• 4:00
  it.
• 4:00
  I
• 4:01
  think
• 4:01
  we're
• 4:01
  going
• 4:01
  to
• 4:01
  start
• 4:01
  to
• 4:02
  see
• 4:02
  Pepsi
• 4:02
  in
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  aisles.
• 4:03
  I
• 4:03
  think
• 4:03
  that,
• 4:04
  that
• 4:04
  Jason
• 4:04
  being
• 4:05
  in
• 4:05
  charge
• 4:05
  will
• 4:05
  be
• 4:05
  like,
• 4:06
  yeah,
• 4:06
  this
• 4:06
  isn't
• 4:07
  the
• 4:07
  Whole
• 4:08
  Foods
• 4:08
  that
• 4:08
  we
• 4:08
  know
• 4:09
  and
• 4:09
  love.
• 4:09
  But
• 4:09
  I
• 4:09
  think
• 4:10
  Amazon
• 4:10
  will
• 4:10
  start
• 4:10
  pushing
• 4:11
  and
• 4:11
  be
• 4:11
  like,
• 4:11
  well,
• 4:11
  but
• 4:11
  we
• 4:12
  need
• 4:12
  the
• 4:12
  money
• 4:12
  from
• 4:12
  these
• 4:13
  CPGs,
• 4:14
  the
• 4:14
  concepts
• 4:15
  that
• 4:15
  we've
• 4:15
  been
• 4:15
  testing
• 4:15
  with
• 4:15
  the
• 4:16
  side
• 4:16
  by
• 4:16
  side
• 4:16
  or
• 4:17
  order
• 4:17
  ahead.
• 4:17
  Like,
• 4:17
  I
• 4:18
  think
• 4:18
  that's
• 4:18
  where
• 4:18
  we
• 4:18
  start
• 4:19
  to
• 4:19
  see
• 4:19
  them
• 4:19
  going,
• 4:19
  which
• 4:20
  to
• 4:20
  your
• 4:21
  earlier
• 4:21
  point
• 4:21
  just
• 4:22
  puts
• 4:22
  them
• 4:22
  in
• 4:23
  closer
• 4:23
  competition
• 4:24
  with
• 4:24
  Walmart
• 4:25
  and
• 4:25
  some
• 4:25
  of
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  mass
• 4:26
  merchants
• 4:26
  out
• 4:26
  there
• 4:27
  who
• 4:27
  are
• 4:27
  doing
• 4:28
  organic
• 4:28
  foods,
• 4:29
  who
• 4:29
  are
• 4:29
  doing
• 4:29
  that
• 4:30
  at
• 4:30
  a
• 4:30
  lower
• 4:30
  price
• 4:31
  point
• 4:31
  that
• 4:31
  Whole
• 4:32
  Foods
• 4:32
  is
• 4:32
  never
• 4:32
  going
• 4:32
  to
• 4:32
  beat.
• 4:33
  And
• 4:33
  then
• 4:33
  I
• 4:33
  think
• 4:33
  you.
• 4:34
  You
• 4:34
  kind
• 4:34
  of.
• 4:36
  You.
• 4:36
  You
• 4:36
  push
• 4:37
  away
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  Whole
• 4:37
  Foods
• 4:38
  customers
• 4:38
  to
• 4:39
  places
• 4:39
  like
• 4:39
  Sprouts,
• 4:40
  like
• 4:40
  you're
• 4:40
  talking
• 4:40
  about.
• 4:41
  Wow.
• 4:41
  Yeah.
• 4:42
  Wow,
• 4:42
  that's
• 4:42
  really
• 4:42
  interesting.
• 4:43
  So
• 4:43
  you
• 4:43
  think
• 4:43
  they
• 4:43
  might
• 4:43
  go
• 4:44
  that
• 4:44
  direction?
• 4:44
  That's
• 4:45
  like
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  third
• 4:45
  realm
• 4:46
  here,
• 4:46
  right?
• 4:46
  Of,
• 4:47
  like,
• 4:47
  you
• 4:47
  know,
• 4:47
  where.
• 4:47
  I
• 4:47
  hope
• 4:48
  not.
• 4:49
  I
• 4:49
  hope
• 4:49
  not.
• 4:50
  But,
• 4:50
  I
• 4:50
  mean,
• 4:50
  I
• 4:51
  think
• 4:51
  just
• 4:51
  based
• 4:52
  on
• 4:52
  what
• 4:52
  we
• 4:52
  know
• 4:52
  about
• 4:53
  Amazon,
• 4:54
  I.
• 4:55
  I
• 4:55
  think
• 4:55
  that's
• 4:55
  probably
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  direction
• 4:56
  that
• 4:57
  they're
• 4:57
  about
• 4:57
  money,
• 4:57
  they're
• 4:58
  about
• 4:58
  making
• 4:58
  money
• 4:58
  and
• 4:59
  how
• 4:59
  they
• 4:59
  do
• 4:59
  that
• 4:59
  quickly.
• 5:00
  So,
• 5:01
  yeah,
• 5:01
  I
• 5:01
  was,
• 5:01
  like,
• 5:01
  looking
• 5:01
  at
• 5:02
  the
• 5:02
  resume,
• 5:02
  too,
• 5:02
  Ann,
• 5:03
  you
• 5:03
  know,
• 5:03
  and
• 5:03
  his
• 5:04
  resume
• 5:04
  is.
• 5:05
  I
• 5:05
  think
• 5:05
  it's
• 5:05
  like
• 5:05
  13
• 5:06
  years
• 5:06
  at
• 5:06
  Accenture,
• 5:07
  like
• 5:07
  over
• 5:08
  a
• 5:08
  decade
• 5:08
  at
• 5:08
  Accenture,
• 5:09
  which,
• 5:09
  you
• 5:09
  know,
• 5:09
  is
• 5:09
  mostly
• 5:10
  it.
• 5:10
  Then
• 5:11
  came
• 5:11
  into
• 5:11
  Whole
• 5:11
  Foods
• 5:11
  as
• 5:12
  kind
• 5:12
  of
• 5:12
  an
• 5:12
  IT
• 5:12
  strategist
• 5:13
  guy.
• 5:14
  And
• 5:14
  then
• 5:14
  to
• 5:15
  your
• 5:15
  point,
• 5:15
  he's
• 5:15
  been
• 5:15
  at
• 5:15
  Whole
• 5:15
  Foods
• 5:16
  now,
• 5:16
  I
• 5:16
  think,
• 5:16
  since
• 5:16
  2013,
• 5:17
  so,
• 5:18
  like,
• 5:18
  almost
• 5:18
  12
• 5:18
  years
• 5:19
  at
• 5:19
  whole
• 5:19
  Foods.
• 5:20
  So
• 5:20
  he's
• 5:20
  got
• 5:20
  a
• 5:20
  good
• 5:20
  grocery
• 5:21
  understanding.
• 5:21
  But,
• 5:22
  you
• 5:22
  know,
• 5:22
  how
• 5:22
  much
• 5:22
  merchandising
• 5:23
  is
• 5:23
  in
• 5:23
  there,
• 5:23
  is
• 5:24
  my
• 5:24
  question.
• 5:24
  But
• 5:25
  we
• 5:25
  got
• 5:25
  to
• 5:25
  hear
• 5:25
  him
• 5:25
  speak
• 5:25
  at
• 5:26
  retail
• 5:26
  spaces,
• 5:27
  and
• 5:27
  he
• 5:27
  did
• 5:27
  seem
• 5:27
  like
• 5:28
  he
• 5:28
  was
• 5:28
  very,
• 5:29
  you
• 5:29
  know,
• 5:30
  interested
• 5:30
  in
• 5:31
  understanding
• 5:31
  the
• 5:31
  merchandising
• 5:32
  aspect
• 5:32
  of
• 5:32
  the
• 5:32
  business.
• 5:33
  So,
• 5:33
  yeah,
• 5:33
  God
• 5:33
  knows
• 5:33
  where
• 5:34
  this
• 5:34
  goes,
• 5:34
  but
• 5:34
  it's
• 5:34
  going
• 5:34
  to
• 5:34
  be
• 5:35
  fascinating
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  watch.
• 5:35
  The
• 5:35
  other
• 5:35
  thing,
• 5:36
  an
• 5:36
  I
• 5:36
  can't
• 5:37
  say
• 5:37
  be
• 5:37
  without
• 5:38
  thinking
• 5:38
  of
• 5:38
  Beaker
• 5:39
  from.
• 5:39
  From
• 5:39
  the
• 5:39
  Muppets,
• 5:40
  can
• 5:40
  you?
• 5:40
  I
• 5:40
  don't
• 5:40
  know.
• 5:41
  That's
• 5:41
  just
• 5:41
  every
• 5:42
  time
• 5:42
  you
• 5:42
  say
• 5:42
  be,
• 5:43
  I'm
• 5:43
  like.
• 5:44
  But
• 5:44
  anyway.
