These days, the notion of representation mattering is more crucial than it has been in a long time, especially when it comes to trans/gender non-conforming/non-binary folks.

For much of the last century, a victim's sexual history was allowed as evidence at trial. It became legally admissible after a state Supreme Court ruling in 1931, which was the result of a high-powered and well-funded effort to protect one of Hollywood's biggest names. In 1929, 17-year-old dancer Eunice Pringle alleged that early Hollywood mogul Alexander Pantages attacked her in an office of his Los Angeles theater. Moviegoers that day witnessed Pringle running into the street in a torn dress and screaming that she had been assaulted by “the beast.” In today's episode, host Tracy Pattin and Variety's Matt Donnelly go back nearly 100 years in the Variety archives to tell the story of Alexander Pantages.

When the Enterprise D runs out of story ideas…. I mean, when the Enterprise D runs into a field of two-dimensional entities, the ship's resident empath loses her empathery! That's right, it's a Deanna Troi focused episode! She holds her forehead, she emotes, She buries her face in Riker's chest -- It's Deanna! Deanna! Deanna! Now at the Pantages! The Enterprise encounters invisible lifeforms that drag the ship in their wake. Eventually that dragging is going to take them into a Singularity String. You might say “ Singularity String, what the hell is that?” And the answer is “Who the fuck knows?” but it's bad… Real bad. It's going to destroy the Enterprise, all the kids on board, and Deanna Troi, too! Meanwhile, Troi has lost her powers and is dealing with what it's like to be a regular ol' human, aaaaand she's really not that good at it. Troi gets cranky, loses her shit, and gets down right tired of everyone not understanding how disabled she is. Will the Enterprise break loose of the two-dimensional threat? Will Deanna get her empathic powers back, Will Jean-Luc fondle a crystal while he's trying to figure things out?

We are live, on-location at the TCL Chinese Theatre for the 19th annual Oscar Qualifying HollyShorts Film Festival, as the official podcast partner. These shorter, special episodes are with selected filmmakers. In this episode Hae & Inde sit down with Erin Lovett (writer/director) & Moka Pantages (Producer) to discuss their Psychological Horror film “The Knowing”. Based on biographical events surrounding infertility, Erin's background in documentary helped her craft moments in her film. They talk about the ‘sixth sense' documentary cinematographers have and how the DP for “The Knowing” conveys isolation and personal fear on camera. For such a sensitive topic, creating a safe space on set with priority. Logline: After several failed rounds of IVF, an artist retreats to her remote cabin to throw herself into work -- only to be met by a dark, sinister presence that ultimately forces both a confrontation and a choice.

Ep 457 - Can Fish be Farmed on Land? Guest: Tony Pantages By Stuart McNish In February 2023, federal Fisheries Minister Joyce Murray announced that licenses for 15 open-net Atlantic salmon farms around British Columbia's Discovery Island will not be renewed – a planned cancellation that has now been delayed in large part due to concerns raised by indigenous leaders, who point to problems associated with moving fish farms on shore. Norway has generated a depth of knowledge and experience in the field of land-based salmon farming in state-of-the-art recirculating aquaculture systems and is leading the way, including identifying challenges. According to Norwegian SciTech News, “ land-based fish farming is not free of challenges. The sector suffers from mass mortalities and fish meat tainted with an earthy flavour because the biological conditions in land-based facilities are difficult to control and very young fish are sensitive to poor water quality. In the worst cases, many thousands of smolt can die relatively suddenly, which can lead to major losses.” BC-based Octaform has developed a land-based construction system that is addressing the issues associated with land-based fish farms in Norway and around the world, and is poised to offer the same technology and construction methods to the sector in BC. Tony Pantages, the CEO of Octaform, says, “We have a technology that addresses the issues related to land-based fish farming.” We invited Tony Pantages to join us for a Conversation That Matters about protecting wild salmon through the use of new tank materials and construction materials and processes.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by three of the talents behind the new play The Bottoming Process: playwright Nicholas Pilapil and actors George Salazar and Rick Cosnett. The play, which runs through June 12th at the Renberg Theater in Hollywood is a romantic comedy about two writers in different stages of their careers who fall in love and grapple with issues of race, sex and power. Nicholas talks about what inspired him to write the play, where the title comes from, how living all your life in LA effects how you feel about your dreams and how his mother dragging him to see Rent at the Pantages when he was in high school changed his life forever. George talks about the thrill of playing a lead character who is lot like him, performing love and sex scenes on stage, what it was like to play George Conway (Kellyanne Conway's husband) in Ryan Murphy's Impeachment and why he's ready and willing to star in George Santos: The Musical. Rick talks about what drew him to the play, growing up on a farm in Zimbabwe, co-starring in The Flash, which is airing its series finale this month, playing twins in a TV movie and appearing opposite Joel Edgerton in the new Paul Schrader film Master Gardener. Other topics include: Be More Chill Tony night trauma made worse by James Corden, what it's like to play a Tiny Desk Concert at the NPR offices, Rick's playing the Succession theme song on the piano, the wit and wisdom of Anne Hathaway and why they do theater. https://culturalarts.lalgbtcenter.org/the-bottoming-process/

Betsey and Ken review the intense emotional impact of election day on the nation and on themselves personally. Betsey has been invested in the process, volunteering, addressing envelopes, and participating in social media (see her on Twitter @newenhuyse). "There is so much at stake" - Democracy is on the ballot. The morning after, both were relieved. Both Illinois (Pritzker vs. Bailey) and Pennsylvania (Fetterman vs Oz) signaled the retention of Democratic control of the Senate. House races and gubernatorial races were a repudiation of the Trumpist agendas of election denial, women's rights, voter suppression, and most important of all, the attack on democracy. The two comment on Trumpist candidates Kari Lake in Arizona and Ron DeSantis in Florida. Michigan is a strong example of the impact of the election with the victory of Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Ken shares his evening taking in the Aaron Sorkin stage play To Kill a Mockingbird at the Pantages in Hollywood starring Richard Thomas as Atticus Finch. Pete Buttigieg has had a high profile during the election.Become a Patron: www.patron.com/beachedwhitemaleSupport the show

Devon tells Liz about the Flower of the North, Klondike Kate Rockwell! Content notes: Kate gets engaged while underage (probably), and toward the end of his life, Pantages was accused of sexually assaulting a minor. No details, we basically just say 'this was the accusation, he went to trial, he was convicted, then acquitted,' but wanted to give you the heads-up. Ouija & Broads is available at this link.

The Feet. Ugh, love ‘em or hate ‘em, we're stuck with them. Many people experience foot pain and may not know what to do about it, but Joe Pilates understood what to do, in fact, he invented two small devices to help correct the feet. The foot corrector and the Toe exerciser or sometimes referred to as the Toe Gizmo, were designed to strengthen and make supple the very foundation of our skeleton. I've asked our guest today, Karen Moran, a physical therapist to explain from her perspective how the feet play a major role in developing and maintaining a healthy functioning body. Karen is the founder and CEO of Fusion Arts Physical Therapy in Los Angeles, CA., where she specializes in Dance Medicine. Theaters such as the Pantages, the Ahmanson, Mark Taper, and various other theaters in the Los Angeles area have employed her to keep their performers healthy. In addition, Karen has treated professional dancers in companies such as Los Angeles Dance Project, Los Angeles Ballet and Hubbard Street Dance.

Liz shares how this week has been dragging for her and also how she is so desperate for a little adventure. She is so tired of the quarantine lifestyle and the days feeling like Groundhog's Day.Then Bree shares how Miles is sick again, surprise surprise, and how the exhaustion of taking care of a sick baby is wearing on her emotionally. Bree also shares about her night out with Sam in LA. Sam told her how he thinks every man gets in a fight in public at least once in his life... is this a real thing? I have never heard of this theory. Also how Bree wants to go to the Pantages theater to see Hamilton. Then we start talking about this week's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. PK and Mauricio were the life of this episode, can they get a spin off? We loved watching PK this episode and realize that his personality os growing on us. Also Liz is finally starting to question Erika a little, she is still team Erika but this new story is just a little far fetched for even Liz to believe.Of course we couldn't skip over Bachelor in Paradise. How is this show just so good. Natashia deserved that rose to stay in the game, and we are excited for all the new men to come. Also can we just dwell for a minute on how cute Tia and her new date were, obsessed.As usual Bree couldn't remember if she watched the Potomac ladies this week. Liz did a brief run down of the episode, and even though Bree did watch it, Potomac still doesn't seem to be what it once was.Real Housewives of Salt Lake City premiered this week, and WOW did it start strong. Neither of us could keep our respect for Coach Shah after he was aware of Jen doing something illegal and still warning her that the feds were coming. Also it is so sad to see Meredith and Lisa's friendship disintegrate. Even though Bree and Liz both think that Lisa is DEAD wrong! How could you pick someone that has been scamming people over your friend of over 20 years?!?!Lastly we went over Megan Fox, MGK, and Kravis at the VMAs and Bree has a thought that Travis and Kourtney have a 50 shades vibe about them. And of course we talked about our fav looks from the Met Gala!Don't forget to follow us on instagram @relatablerealitypodcast.RATE and COMMENT below
Eunice Pringle saw the man accused of sexually assaulting her, vaudeville and movie impressario Alexander Pantages, go to prison—and then Jerry Giesler jumped in and they had a retrial with a predominately male jury this time. Guess what? He was acquitted! Along the way, Pantages' wife ends up convicted of a crime in the same courtroom, rumors swirl that Pringle died and left a deathbed confession admitting that Joseph P. Kennedy put her up to it, and Pringle releases one of the all-time great statements ever uttered when told that Pantages's conviction was overturned. Jump in for another exhilarating ride through 100-year-old bad behavior that feels shockingly contemporary. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/american-scandals/support

Jessica and Melanie have a heartfelt, frank, and funny discussion with Carla about auditioning for the production, rehearsing at the El Capitan Theatre, the star-studded opening night, and her favorite moments as part of the original L.A. cast. Jessica also discusses the impact that "The Lion King" had on Broadway and the show's journey to becoming an international sensation, while Melanie shares details about the extensive remodel of the historic Pantages that was done to accommodate the production and bring the theatre back to its former glory.

Hey Playground Peeps!! In this episode, we go over the history and Hauntings of one of the world's most iconic theatres..The Pantages. Our creepy pasta comes to us from a submission to creepypasta.com by author LupusCreepus. The first of ourt two true ghost stories was given to me via Facebook Messenger by a memember of The Paranormal Playground Sandbox, Nina Terrible and our second is Demon In The Dark from an article "9 Real Life Ghost Stories That Will Scare You" (in the audio, I stated that this was from a reddit user..of this I am not really sure). This episode is lacking the background music found in the other episodes. I've done this for a reason. Please let me know which format you prefer..with music, or without. I am also still on the hunt for a co-host. You do not have to be local to be my co-host. We can do this remotely. If you think you want to give it a spin, send me a message on FB, Insta or email me at info.theparanormalplayground@gmail.com. Thanks..and enjoy!!

Check it out at HomegrownGeneration.com now, enjoy the rest of my conversation with Caleb. I wanted, I want to talk a little bit deeper about what's actually happened happening in the, in the culture of the public school system. Yvette Hampton (01:07): you know, I hear we're, we're from California. I'm just like you, which is how we know you. and so, we're, we're removed from it a little bit right now, but we still hear of all the craziness that's happening. And I know it's not just in California that these things are going on. you're on the inside. We often hear it. It almost feels like hearsay. And sometimes to be quite honest with you, I hear about things that are happening in public schools and I think that can't be true. Like that can't actually be happening. Maybe it's happening at one or two schools, but it certainly can't be happening all over the country. And several months ago, I had an old friend from high school, she, she called me and she was considering taking her kids out of public school and she's in Northern California actually. Yvette Hampton (01:56): And so she just said, yeah, just talk to me about this homeschool thing. You know, cause I feel like I need to take them out, but I, I don't understand homeschooling and I just don't know. And she, she really didn't know a whole lot of what was happening in her own kid's school, even though she was involved. And so I started doing some research and there were some things that I just found that just appalled me in a million different ways. you know, one of the things I saw was, the state of California of course, you know, you can take a girl at any age to have an abortion and you not only do, you not have to tell her parents, but you're not allowed to tell her parents. You could take a little girl to murder her baby and you're not allowed to tell her parents or you know, kids can come in and they can say, you know, a little boy can come and see him. Yvette Hampton (02:45): I think I'm going to be a girl today. And they have to honor that. And they can't tell his parents. And they've completely removed parental authority from everything that they're doing with these kids. And they have become the authority and hear these things. And I read them and I know that they're true. And then I think, but certainly that can't be. Yeah. So how, what is the culture looking like as a, as a public school teacher, what are you faced with day in and day out? And then how have you seen that change over the years? Cause you've been teaching in the public school system for quite some time. I mean, yeah. So for a long time. So you've seen, I'm imagining quite a shift from when you first started teaching to what is happening now. So, so talk to us about it. What's going on? Caleb Schroeder (03:34): So, I really don't think I would've survived as long as I have. if I was in, like LA unified school district, I am in Kern County and Kern County is the wild West of California. That's how we like to describe it. So, in the community that I teach in, our biggest claim to fame is we have the Willow Springs race track, which is one of the original, paved serpentine race tracks, or I don't, I don't know exactly what it is, but it's popular. So that employs a lot of people in our community. I don't know if you know NASCAR folk, but they're usually pretty conservative. the next big employer in our community is the air force base. and usually air force personnel are more conservative. So all those laws have gone into effect. So, you know, if a boy decides he's a girl, he needs to be allowed to use the girls restroom locker room. Caleb Schroeder (04:29): That's the law that we have to observe. and we have had a couple kids in our, in our school who have decided they want to play that game. and so, it's sort of up to the school for how they're going to, how they're going to deal with it. because I'm in a conservative community, they've, they've dealt with it very cautiously. so we have all of our restrooms locked in. We let one kid in the restroom at a time on, there has to be a security guard at every restroom. and that's a problem, you know, but that's, that's how we deal with it, you know. they have to, in the health classes, the thing having to teach the children, they're required to teach the children. About all of the different genders now and all the different ways that those genders can have sex. Caleb Schroeder (05:17): The sex ed piece of, of health has gotten very, very crazy. I mentioned that my daughter is in my public school. and so she's, she's independent study, but she still has to do, you know, the state approved curriculum. And so, this last semester her teacher came to me and she was like, Hey, I can do the health course, the full health course or I could do the health course without the sex ed piece. You can elect to not have sex ed for her health. And I was like, yes, please. You know, and so like in a conservative community, the way we interpret it, we can sort of say, Oh, we didn't get to that. I'm sorry we didn't get to that part of the curriculum. I'm sorry. You what I'm saying? And so there's, there's ways around it. My dad taught for 37 years. Caleb Schroeder (06:01): He taught intelligent design in the public high school. his students actually would actually sort of get confused sometimes they'd be like, wait a second, Mr. Schroeder, are you, are you saying that you believe intelligent design or are you saying that you believe in evolution? Cause he wouldn't tell him what he believed in, but he would present both sides of the argument and then the kids would sometimes they'd be like, wait, what side are you arguing for? We don't understand. So eventually one of his students made him two hats and one of 'em says intelligent design. And one of 'em says evolution. So he'd put the hats on when he was arguing from the different views. So the kids would sort of like be able to keep track of what's going on. So my conservative community, we've sort of been protected from that. But what you'll notice, I'm in California right now. Caleb Schroeder (06:44): Over 10% of students have left the traditional public school. and they're going to charter schools that don't have to stick to the same crazy curriculum rules that some of the public schools have to stick to. they can have a little more freedom for how they do things. They're going to private schools on their homeschooling. there's a lot of charter homeschools in California now. Our kids are being taught independent, subtle study through charter schools and they have a lot of freedom. So, there's, there's a math mass Exodus, so every year they're losing thousands of students from the public-school system because parents in California are fed up with it. What's interesting is during the Obama era, I don't know, a lot of conservative people realize this. Obama actually was a big proponent of charter schools, but like these public schools are failing our kids. Caleb Schroeder (07:36): They need a little bit of competition, a little bit of competition, never heard anybody, which isn't usually what you hear from a liberal. Right. and so, he started, sort of supporting those systems and it was sort of one of the first times that in California, our union didn't have a lot of support from the Democrats. Well, now it's shifted. and so, I don't know if you follow, follow the recent teacher's strike in LA. A lot of that had to do with the massive amount of students that they've lost to charter schools. The public schools are losing funding and the decision they made after that strike was a huge sort of, below two. With the charter schools, the homeschool parents, they're going to start making it harder for parents in California to homeschool. There's been well, uh, how, how they're doing it is through our, uh, through our social care program. Caleb Schroeder (08:31): So, they're trying to get legislation passed that if you, have an affidavit. So we tell a friend, you have to file an affidavit if you're homeschooling your children and they're trying to get legislation passed where if you file an affidavit, then you have to be visited by a social worker. In California, social workers have absolute power. So if a social worker comes in and decides you're a bad parent, they can tell any lie they wanted the judge, you had no recompense whatsoever. You can't do anything to get your kids back. One of my, one of my good friends is going through this right now, her son away, they're about to take her other two kids away. They're accusing her of abuse. and there was no abuse at all. and so, and it's just her word against a social worker and a social worker doesn't like her and it's like, it's not normal core situation at all over a period. Caleb Schroeder (09:23): So like she can't even like call other moms who've been in these situations and are like this lady's line. She can't even call them to type testify. so, it's getting scary here in California. but what I tell people, the safest place to be is where your shepherd tells you to be. And so right now I know this, this is where I'm supposed to be. I'm supposed to be on the front lines of this. I'm not going to put my kids in the public school. And, and there's ways for me to get around. those bills going through so far, they haven't gone through, but we, this last election, our state got a lot more liberal and they're getting away with a lot of things. but we can't make decisions based on fear. And so, uh, there's there, there's a battle brewing. our enemy recognizes that what we're doing is preventing him from having the minds of our child children and he hates it and he's coming after us and he has a lot of people who are doing, doing his bidding. so that he has a strong foothold in California and it is, uh, it is scary. but I know, I know whom I have believed in. So that's, that's why I have hope. Yvette Hampton (10:41): So what can parents do? What can Christian homeschool parents, and Christian public-school parents do to fight this culture war that's going on? Caleb Schroeder (11:36): in addition to praying? Of course. Yeah. I would say to, to keep yourself educated, you know, pay, pay your dues with HSL da and like be following them. Be paying attention to the cases that going on in California. and, and be, be praying specifically by name for the different situations involved in the homeschool community. You know, whatever it is, whether it's costal conversations or another one, find a homeschool community so that you're aware when these things are going on. So you can be providing support to the people that surround you. the, uh, and we w what I think, what I'm confident of, I'm a public-school teacher. It's not going to be hard at all for homeschool students to outperform public school students. We do a good job of educating your children and guess who's tomorrow's leaders are going to be. Caleb Schroeder (12:38): Yeah, they're going to be our children. And they'll, the liberals are aborting themselves out of existence. And unfortunately, I mean, that's sort of a, maybe a crass way of saying it, but, they're, they, they're not interested in having families and homeschool parents as a rule have really large families. I know several, I have six kids and I know several families. I have more kids than I do. And so as, as we stick to our guns, as we hold onto our children and we educate them and we don't just educate them out of fear, but we recognize that Jesus says, I'm going to build my church and the Gates of hell won't stand against it. And we need to have that attitude in, in this battle for the hearts of our children and for the hearts in our communities. And so, what that means is, we don't, we don't try to homeschool in a bubble. Caleb Schroeder (13:28): We homeschool with our why and our doors wide open. And what happens when, when your unsaved neighbors are coming in and they see your kids, they're blown away. They're like, what? This is amazing. What you're doing here is amazing. You know, they see there, they see that they're learning Latin and they see they're reading the classics and they hear them studying with each other and they hear them talking about the books they're reading. They're just like, what? Like my kids, I can't even get them to read a graphic novel, you know? and you know, so, so when, when homeschoolers actually live transparently in their communities, what's going to happen? Where it's going to get out is what if somebody reports me or what if somebody, you know, tells people what I'm doing, what you're doing is good. What you're doing is awesome. And so shine that light, shine light to the people around you. Be inviting people over for meals in your home, have barbecues, do block parties, invite people over and do an amazing job discipling your children and [inaudible] we'll win a generation. Yvette Hampton (14:34): Yeah, that's right. And the best way to disciple them is to teach them the word of God. And Ephesians six when they lay down, when they walk, when they stand, when they, you know, throughout the day, always looking for opportunities. You talked about that with your dad and how he would just take you out and he'd just, by his very nature, he introduced you to the nature of God and the creation of our, of, of our Lord. And there are so many opportunities that we have to point our kids to Christ. And when we take advantage of that day in and day out, and when, when we are not sending them off into a system that's teaching them everything that's contrary to the word of God, we have the ability to teach them. And you know, it doesn't mean that they have to know Latin. It's okay if your kids don't know Latin. Yvette Hampton (15:21): It's okay if your kids don't reach calculus. It's okay if they're not historians or scientists or whatever, you know, they are going to be who God created them to be. And that's the beauty of homeschooling is we get to, we get to cater to our kids' learning style, to their desires, to how God has created them individually. And they will make a difference in this world. And I love your stance on be hospitable, open up your home to people and they don't have to be just homeschool people. Invite the neighborhood kids over. We had a house that we did that with, several years ago and we, we had a nice backyard and we had one of those big Costco play sets. And so we would invite all of the neighborhood kids to come over to our house. And it was so much fun. And I remember one summer we took, it was like 12 neighborhood kids to VBS at our church that year and they were so excited. Yvette Hampton (16:14): And then we moved to another neighborhood and we did the same with those kids and we brought those kids to church with us and they're still going. As matter of fact, when we went back to California, well guess it's about a year and a half ago now. we, we went back to our home church and the neighborhood kids who would go every week when we were there, they were still going. And it was so exciting. And these are kids who come from a very broken home, but grandma would take them and she was there and we were so excited to see them there. And we thought, this is it. You know, this is the purpose of coming alongside of our neighbors and love your neighbor as yourself. And what a great opportunity we have to be able to do that as homeschool families. Caleb Schroeder (16:54): Let me tell you about one like that that reminded me of just this amazing opportunity we have and California right now. So because our state is liberal, they require schools to allow any club to have a presence on campus. so that includes child evangelism fellowship in our community in California right now, we can't keep up with the requests from local principals for us to have a good news club on their campus. where if we, we just need more people who will help staff those and the primary people who are staffing. Those are until families, you know, they're the teenagers from some of these homeschool families that the good news club is usually at the end of the school day. So it's like two 30. So a lot of working professionals can do that. But the homeschool moms and their kids, they can go do that. Caleb Schroeder (17:42): So, I don't know if any of your listeners are familiar with their local CEF, but CF loves homeschool families and you get to bring your kids on the public-school campus and be salt and light right there with you and what you're doing. You're sharing missionary stories, you're sharing Bible stories. I don't know if you're familiar with CF, but it's, it's one of the largest missions of organizations in the world. And that's, that's really how, how missions is done in America. It's true. We call it backdoor evangelism, the children. And then through the children you reach the parents and, and there's, there's, the harvest is right there is the workers are few. And so there's so many opportunities in California to be on those campuses and to be doing, to be doing outreach. You don't have to send your kids to public school to send your kids to public school. You have a presence right there and do amazing things with your children in your, in your local community through CES starting. Encourage your listeners to look up their local CF chapter and try to help them Yvette Hampton (18:47): or too young life. Cause I'm familiar with young life. Yeah. Caleb Schroeder (18:50): Young life is usually sort of like junior high, high school age. And then there's also my, my high school actually has a campus life program, which is another one. But CF is for elementary school age kids junior high. But yeah, it's, it's sort of the first one that was ever started. It's been around for a long, long time. Have you ever seen like the wordless book? That's a CF thing. Yvette Hampton (19:12): Okay. Yes. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I'll, I'll link back to those in the show notes. I just did an interview recently with Elizabeth Johnston, the activist mommy, I don't know if you're familiar with her, but we were talking about the impact that we can have on, abortion clinics, and, and pro-life centers. And you know, as homeschoolers, we have such a great advantage because we have, we have time and I know that there are homeschool moms who are rolling their eyes at me going, I don't have time. I don't have extra time to do anything because I've got my kids with me all day. Yeah. There's time for ministry when God calls you to it, you know, pray and ask God, what are you calling our family to pray with your kids, get on your knees, pray and ask God to show you and your kids what ministry you can be involved in. Yvette Hampton (19:57): And he will give you the time to be involved in those ministries because he does that. He, he, he wants us to serve in his world. And I think as Christians, so often we get into our little bubble of church and homeschooling and, and we forget that there's another world out there who desperately needs to hear about Christ. And you know, I've really, I've been thinking a whole lot lately about, just those who are in, in leadership in our country, who are making all these horrific decisions and taking the lives of innocent children and, and telling lies to these kids who are so confused about, you know, their gender identity and this and that. And, and it starts with our, it starts with our leadership there. The, we need to be praying for those people. And, you know, I mean, obviously my heartbreaks in a million different pieces for those babies who are being, whose lives are being torn out of their mommy's wombs. Yvette Hampton (20:56): I just, I, I can't even wrap my mind around it and how we as a nation are saying that this is okay. but I, I just again read, uh, one of my favorite books is the hiding place by Corrie 10 boom. for those of you who have not read it, I please read it. I, I think, I mean, you know, if I was stranded on a desert Island and I could only take three books with me, it would be the Bible, the hiding place, and the little house on the Prairie series that counts as one book to me. but I love the hiding place. And one of the things I love about that book is that, Betsy, who's Corrie 10 boom's sister and their father, Casper 10, boom, they are so passionate about praying for those who are torturing and executing, you know, all of the innocent people and their hearts break for them. Yvette Hampton (21:44): And, and they're, you know, a couple of circumstances where, you know, Betsy will just say, Oh, I feel so sorry for them when someone's being tortured. And Cory saying, you know, she's thinking, she's talking about the person that being tortured and she's not talking about that person though she feels sorry for them too. She's talking about the person torturing because they need Jesus. And if we're going to say that we care about human life, care about those people who are literally heading straight to hell and, and they need Jesus, they need him desperately. And so, you know, as homeschool families, we need to just be praying and asking the Lord, where would you have us to serve? Where would you have us to spread your truth and spread your gospel to every end of the earth? We don't have to go to Uganda to be on the mission field. Yvette Hampton (22:34): I love that you talk about, you know, you felt like God called you to missions that you are on the mission field. Caleb, you are on the front lines. You are witnessing to these kids, witnessing to teachers. You are showing by your very life that you have Jesus. And so, and I know you're making a difference. I've known people, you talked about Christian earlier. you know, I know people who you've had a great impact in their lives because you have taken a stand for what truth is and use the platform that God has given you to be able to do that. So, um, Caleb Schroeder (23:04): I think one of the, one of the big ways that we can reach out and make a difference, especially with the abortion issue, is finding ways to support single moms. Just, just finding the local networks to be going there and doing classes for them. Do everything you can to give them support and to not make them feel like there's nobody there for them. That's really where that bottom battle's going to be. One, the way that we wage war in our culture is by loving the center. That's what I saw Jesus doing. And that's how he changed the communities that he was preaching the gospel amendments to us by loving the centers. And so we go and we love, we love those centers. Well, we pray for those people who are making the decisions. We go on the marches, you know, as a kid, I was out there with my sign, you know, at our local hospital when they're trying to have an abortion here and we got 'em out of here, you know. Caleb Schroeder (24:04): and so, like you do those things, and you're teaching your children as you do that. And you're raising up a new generation of people who are going to be engaged in the culture. Right. And it's important to distinguish between being engaged in the culture and being at war with the culture. We're at war with sin. We hate sin, but we love the people. And that's really where, that's where the 10 booms got it. Right. They were praying with people, they hated their sin, but they, but they loved those people. Well, and even just praying to God to give you that love and said, the Holy spirit is shed abroad his love in our hearts. And so we have that love for those people. And when we act out of that, when we pray out of that, that's what's going to change this world. And that's what's going to teach our children. Wow. Yvette Hampton (24:48): Yeah. And, and it's, it's when we realize what we've been saved from and we're still sinful to, you know, we're just as sinful as the next person. but we, I was just talking about this with my girls the other day saying there's a difference between being a sinner and living in sin. And we are all sinners desperately in need of a savior. and once we realized what we've been saved from, we will, we will have such an earnestness to go out and share that with other people. You know, when you eat a dessert that is so unbelievably delicious and you bring your friends all around you, you want to say, Oh, you've got to try this dessert. It's so good. It's the best chocolate cake I've ever had. Or, or you know, whatever cheesecake, you know, you, you're excited and eager to share that with them. Yvette Hampton (25:40): And we need to be that way with the gospel. We need to, to just cry out to the Lord, to give us the boldness to share Christ with those who, who desperately need him because we are sinful too. Jesus died for us. He died for them. I love that you talk about single moms and reaching out to them. We actually interviewed Mary Jo Tate for the movie and she was a single mom and, and we asked her, you know, what is the one thing that, that single moms need? And she said they need other people to come alongside of them and help them. And if that means coming alongside of a single mom and saying, I know that you're not comfortable having your child in public school, but I know you have to work to provide for your children. Let me take some of the burden off of you and let me homeschool them. Yvette Hampton (26:24): There's no better way to love. I mean, that is amazing. And I know of parents who are doing that. we stayed with it, really neat family in Tennessee, and, and Franklin and they have a farm and they just have a really good friend, a really good family friend who is a single mom, just a really neat lady. and this has just kind of taken this mom and her son under their wing and they're part of their family now and she helps to homeschool their son and, and you know, we get so comfortable in her little like, okay, it's going to, it's going to disrupt our homeschool day. If we bring on another child. It's okay. It's okay to disrupt your homeschool date just a little bit if that's what God's calling you to do. and so yeah, step out, do something John says, get off the bench. Caleb Schroeder (27:13): You know, my wife and she's, she's pretty awesome, but what are things she's taught me is, just go with it. You know, like a lot of times we're so overwhelmed at the uncertainty of tomorrow we'll love what if I start having people in my home or whatever. I started going doing these ministries. Really it's messy, you know, but be build, be willing to have maybe a little more of a messy lifestyle, you know? like Rosaria Butterfield, I really highly recommend her book, but she just talks about these single moms from her neighborhood or just coming over to her house in the evening and all the laundry is on the table. So what do they do? They start, well, no, she says they just put it back in the dryer for her to do right. Or you know, they help her with the dishes or they help her get dinner on the table. Caleb Schroeder (27:53): And so they're just doing life together. If you've ever read any of Edith shepherd shapers writings, that's the way she would do her. And Francis Shaffer just they did life together. And so that's, that's how Christians are going to win this generation. One of the things I find about millennials, they love and they're desperate for community. They want connection there. They're one of the least connected generations because of social media and because of all these issues, but they're desperate for that and like having them into your home, it goes so far to communicate the lower price. Let me just give a little bit of encouragement to your listeners. I personally am a very task oriented person. I'm sort of a go getter and I always have things that I'm doing and things that I'm pursuing, and God's really taught me to slow down and be present with my children. Caleb Schroeder (28:45): I think that's extremely important, especially for homeschool dads. And moms are there all day. They're going to be with their kids. one of the, one of the little things I did that it might seem, it might seem minuscule, but it's made a huge difference for me. I put an overstuffed chair in my son's bedroom and so when I go in to pray with them at night, I sit in the chair. That makes just a huge difference for me because I'm instead of like, okay, the task is pray and then, and then leave. I sit down and I just, I can sort of relax while I just listened to them and I just give them my year and I give them my face and I let them tell me about their day and I'll ask, let them ask me the million questions. At nine year old boys have, you know, anything from science to the Avengers, you know, they wanted to come before bedtime. Exactly. The bedtime turns them into, you know, philosophers. Caleb Schroeder (29:37): But just to be present with my, with my daughters, I pursue their hearts. I take them out on dates for, Sophie just had her 14th birthday and I took her to this local place, the Odyssey. I don't know if you've been at Odyssey, it's beautiful down in Granada Hills. And then we went to the Pantages and we saw Wicked on the, on the stage, you know, off-Broadway and it's just, it was a special time for me to let her know I love you and I'm sure to protect your heart, you know, as you, as you go on into the culture and just taking that time to slow down, to be present with your family. We love reading. we are constantly reading for the month of January we went completely off screens and we just read, and it was such a blessing. I would come home and all my kids would be like sprawled out on the couch, all reading different books. Caleb Schroeder (30:24): the weaker readers, we use audible and they're listening and, and that's just, those are treasured times to just grow together. So just I challenge your listeners, you know, be, be active in the culture, but understand that's something you do as a family and you can present with your children while you're doing that. I love what you guys are doing. Just taking your girls along with you. You know, this is our adventure. This is our family and venture. We're doing it together. That's how God designed the family to work, is to increase our ministry, not decreasing. Yvette Hampton (30:51): That's right. And it's not always easy and it's not always fun. but it is always a blessing to be where God has called you to be and to be doing what he's called you to be doing. He brings blessings and obedience, so for sure. I love that. Well, thank you Caleb. You are a huge, huge blessing to us. thank you for what you're doing in the public-school system. Thank you for being on those front lines and making a difference in the lives of these kids who desperately need to hear truth and love for sharing that. So anyway, have an awesome rest of your day. Thanks for your time. I had mentioned this at the beginning of the podcast, but we have a great interview with Caleb that we did for the movie and there's a pretty good portion of it on, I think it's on the Backstage Pass membership site, but you can actually see it for free. so we will put a link to that in the show notes. You can click on that if you haven't seen it yet. So, so thank you guys. Have a great rest of your day and we will see you next week.

Transcript Jason: [0:25] Welcome to the Jason and Scott show this is episode 156 being recorded on Thursday November 29th 2018 I'm your host Jason retailgeek Goldberg and as usual I'm here with your toes Scot Wingo. Scot: [0:40] Hey Jason welcome back Jason Scott show listeners well this is the third and final part of a three-part series around our holiday 18 quote-unquote halftime coverage in the first episode we covered a lot of the news that came out of the holiday then we had Tamara Gaffney from Adobe to share sure do love how their day that was shaping up and we are excited to welcome as the third part, property Rose s VP of strategy and insights Keys Anderson to the show. Keith: [1:12] Thank you Scott thanks Jason great to be with you both. Jason: [1:16] It is awesome to have you I've been wanting to get you on the show for awhile Keith I'm a Avid follower of all the content you put on the internet so I'm excited to have a lot of conversation about it tonight. Keith: [1:26] Well likewise whenever I mention did I have a podcast people say I would like the Jason Scott show and I said yeah yeah I've always enjoyed it so good to be a guest. Jason: [1:37] That's a fabulous compliments so as you know from listening to the show when we have a guest on we always like to start by getting kind of a a brief synopsis of how you matriculated in your career and came to property row so what was your story. Keith: [1:53] Up my whole career has been in retail and consumer goods Consulting and Industry analysis and now, product management profitero's so started at kantar, Consulting is it sound known in in those days it was a company called MPI and then help start another industry Analysis company called three telnet Group which is now part of, Edge by Central and in what while I was there, my practice was really focused at the intersection of Technology with retailers Brands and consumers both in-store and in out of store, import of that work was helping some of the brands cope, even in those days this is seven or eight years ago with the proliferation of Technologies and Solutions in all of the inbound email that comes with the business development teams those companies, and there's a lot of noise and folks saying. [3:00] Which types of capability should we be exploring who's good until I had to have built up a view of the landscape and have been doing work with some investors and as it turned out the investors and profitero's, work with us that I had met before and really admired and they asked me hey we are thinking of trying something new what do you think, and I don't think they were expecting five pages of notes but I had a lot of ideas and they said well. [3:37] That actually sounds like a pretty good plan do you want to do it so I've been here for about 5 years and, in that time we built a global performance analytics platform for brand manufacturers so it it's been a nice way to apply, tell me what I know about the work in and apply it in a pretty different business than anything I didn't previously. Jason: [4:06] Nice you can quickly Avail me of a misperception if I have one but I I think of you guys as one of the Pioneers in a new category of analytics that I I tend to call digital shelf Analytics and is a a is that like a good description to you is that too narrow. Keith: [4:29] I think it is we we sometimes say performance analytics because we in a grade. At least for Amazon traffic conversion tail share data but you're exactly right one of our court date is at this correct collected directly from, the digital shelf it's public domain data on Amazon and any other retailers site or mobile app that tells you how your position than search. Is your content completing compelling do you have enough reviews did you get a negative rating yesterday. That needs a response are you available in stock in an ultimately you know what's the score in in why are you winning or losing so, I wouldn't necessarily say we pioneered digital shelf data wait we've got, great piers in the industries that were there first what we may have done first is connect some of the data points or data sets that allow you to look a little more holistically and we think make better decisions fast. Jason: [5:39] And that's why I said you know one of the pioneers and so in my world and I'm super old and so in the old days of traditional Shopper marketing we used to partner with brands that would spend a bunch of money on in-store displays and we would actually pay school or college kids to go visit stores and take pictures of shelves and we would look at things like with our share of shelf in the house our product showing up on the shelf and all these sorts of things and so I sort of think of, that digital shelf is the the way better Modern equivalent where you guys are are essentially sending Bots to all the product detail Pages for these major retailers in your collecting all this super interesting, structured data around how everyone is merchandising their their product on on the digital shopping. Keith: [6:27] Yeah that there is definitely. An alignment of some of those disciplines you know for p and and shelf management disciplines in and some Shopper marketing concepts that definitely translate from brick and mortar. To this domain and some of the benefits of using technology or obvious you can collect a lot more data more frequently more accurately and having been. What are the people collecting data like that manually in the store a lot more efficiently so so that is one of the benefits I think now where we sorta see things trending. Ultimately those are Audits and audits are great for telling you whether you're doing what you think you should be doing but given the the pace that. E-commerce and an Amazon continues to evolve at in and out Dynamic it is a lot of the questions are about what should I do and how do I do it. So one one key Elementos what tools like these I think, can help you do it is they keep evolving is certainly see whether what you think should be there is there and things are being executed the right way but it's it's definitely moving deeper and deeper into optimization I think. Jason: [7:52] A long lines of optimization tieu you reference some performance analytics data beyond that the periodic can you just talk like in a little more detail about like what kinds of data that is. Keith: [8:03] Sure yeah and I think. What's important to to distinguishes some of the data sets that all describe now, we can do on Amazon but we can only do it on Amazon and there are a couple reasons so we can, show up I mean you fax your daily glance fuse for their Paisans on Amazon we can show him there conversion we can tell I'm not only there, volumetrics that is daily unit volume and and. [8:37] Sales but we can we can also ask them ate their competitors daily unit volume and sales and then ladder that up to a category View, aligned with whatever hierarchy they may be accustomed to report again there's two reasons we can do it at Amazon and only Amazon one is Amazon's site structure is is revealing, there are things like best-seller ranks and who's winning the buy box that are observable in the public domain and with with one of the other inputs to Armada, which is actual sales for Branson products where we don't have the specific data points we need we can model them really accurately a nation level everyday. [9:28] The natural question is when can you do that for any other retailer in in I think God's are slim that, it'll work the way we do it at other retailers but there are companies that operate panels of different kinds in a browser and and device monitoring and, a receipt modering dead that can also, provide similar metrics for a broader set a Retailer's too I think the real value is in what we do is at least in in Amazon's ecosystem having those status at seamless integrated, with workflows that are that are oriented around. [10:12] The tassel you got to do that's one of the ways that that it comes to life in our world. Jason: [10:19] . it's just so I make sure I'm I'm tracking like Amazon because it's so so rich gives a bunch of signals about how products sell or perform relative to each other so you notice all those signals and then you know I was your client tell you what my actual sales are for my products and then you can use that as sort of the seed to them say alright well here's, people that are performing acts and not better than you in X-Men worse than you and you can kind of interpolate, the whole category using my my data and all the signals that you noticed is that. Keith: [10:55] That's a that's a pretty accurate explanation. Scot: [11:00] Jason, Smiley paying attention so let's it sounds like a great set of Daedalus let's jump let's go swimming in their start with holiday at a macro level what are you guys seeing here at about half time of Holiday 8. Keith: [11:15] I'd say there are two things that I've noticed we had actually just done sort of a 3-month study of of prices at around 20 Us online retailers, in generally what we see is that Amazon is is the cheapest across, a broad set of categories both hardlines offline discretionary, NN consumable what with exceptions on some items in in every category and in occasionally entire categories where they get beat what it looks like over the period from November 21st to 26 the basically just before Black Friday it into, today after cyber monday it looks like Amazon was really aggressive with similar price gaps to a lot of the the same retailers that, that we compared in the last study but larger in in a few cases. Scot: [12:17] So during the holiday so it's a lot of people don't realize on Amazon it's like a real time stock market for products right products are changing channel. So we have to replace her so we're probably part of the problem you're the the solution depends on how you look at it I'm sure you guys see this a lot right does does that like go crazy during the holiday where it's usually like an 8 out of 10 and during the holiday you're just seeing these retailers react to each other more fever space or doesn't settle down during holiday what do you see what's kind of in the day that you can tell us about that. Keith: [12:52] We see definitely more Dynamic pricing especially on the 3rd party seller so I'd soak. As you know on the one piece side as with any retailer all pricing decisions or at the retailers discretion it is dynamic an algorithmic. But the Brand's get no input into Amazon what while nobody really knows how their algorithm Works across the board. They have been from what we what we've observed. A little more selective about the items that they don't want to be beat on or that they really want to win on I think that. We did a study of hourly pricing a few months ago and I unfortunately don't have it pulled up but I think we saw orders of magnitude more intraday price changes. From the third party seller side and that's what we see over holiday to what one of the things that we've seen a lot of retailers. Last year but especially this year is what appeared to be somewhat constrained Supply so that's one of the other reasons you may not see. [14:11] As aggressive price matching between retailers during the promotional period because if they're not promoting the item they probably don't have to supply and so I think they they are getting to the point where. [14:23] They'll consider matching on items that are. [14:28] Key items for them or that they're promoting but the rules engines are getting sophisticated enough that there's less of the Brute Force price-matching across the landscape. Scot: [14:40] It it feels like Amazon's everyone's being particular aggressive on toys because this is the first holiday where we haven't had a Toys R Us and then the Adobe folks were talking about Dad and Amazon called out apparel and toys in their press release can you see you talk about this kind of macro view of Amazon compared to other folks can you look into your data and say, my gosh they're going crazy on toys or any other kind of categorical stuff there that was interesting. Keith: [15:08] Yeah and toys at Walmart looks like they're being aggressive although a little less aggressive than they were in the second quarter on price, and in jet actually looks like they win. Much less aggressive but it it certainly makes sense there's definitely a vacuum that's been left, you know we've seen some other supply chain related complexities in in some of those categories over the same. So I'm really looking forward to the the final read on what the cell through was just to see how that compares to what we see in our pricing and promotion, data as I I think everybody wants to win those those Shoppers looking for their Toys R Us substitute. Scot: [15:53] Aromatic wants to have plant their flag and toys this holiday so they're they're being super aggressive. Keith: [15:58] Yeah we also saw a lot and in baby which I think is sort of a similar idea just not a seasonally aligned, but naturally when you went when your family expands especially For the First Time suddenly you're looking for new products that you've never bought and doing a lot of research and that makes you more receptive to. The Retailer's so I think some of what we we saw in the baby category was was potentially related to it too. Scot: [16:26] Cool swim if it's kind of already covered toys do you want highlight the Mack. Marker 05 Keith: [16:31] I do electronics I think was was pretty competitive with Walmart and Jet being most competitive followed by Best Buy Best Buy was was 15% more expensive jet. Marker 06 [16:45] 10.4 Walmart. 5.9 appliances not quite as is closed Amazon but Walmart. Closest Home Depot 2nd close closest in in tools and Home Improvement or another one where. What one of the rare ones where a specialist in the category really, let our price in that case I will not let Home Depot's a little more expensive than Amazon but Home Depot is less expensive the Walmart so it's been interesting to us to watch, it is we've seen over the last decade with a lot of the brick-and-mortar category specialist in their online counterparts. Feeling to find a a point of difference, you know do these players eventually capitulate and try to compete on price or do they give up I haven't mentioned Staples but they're commonly 35 to 50% more expensive, so when I see Home Depot or somebody pricing is close to parody with Amazon as it looks like they did over this. It's sort of notable. Jason: [17:58] Interesting is it what category that I'm particular interest in then and I'm curious of it if you had much visibility in your in your data so I know you guys are really strong in the cpg space and obviously cpgs the a category that I feel like is quickly getting disrupted by digital like there's not huge adoption to sales yet but it's it's Rapala daily involving and particularly on food I feel like coming into this holiday. A lot of the retailers have really muscled up there they're digital food capabilities he had Walmart with 2,000 stores you have Target with the whole ship infrastructure you had, Whole Foods doing a digital orders and rectal home and you know of course she had you know instacart continuing have a strong present so in my mind this this Thanksgiving was really the the first holiday that people had a very likely had an option to do there their Thanksgiving meal shopping as curbside pickup or home delivery and I'm curious to see if it it look from the data like like there was traction in that category. Keith: [19:06] I don't know that are dated will reveal if we're talking about fresh and perishable groceries are they won't reveal it from a sales perspective, I think you're exactly right it's clearly been an inflection point this year with with massive expansion I mean the last two years but this year especially massive expansion of availability. Click and collect and delivery models. Especially in some of the the tier-2 tier-3 you know less less Urban parts of the country that. Prior to models like instacart really scaling meant that. [19:50] Let you know any previous Thanksgiving for the last 20 years you could have ordered online groceries if you lived in Chicago New York Boston and a handful of others, big metros but what I think is really notable is almost anywhere you can buy groceries you can buy them online now that the, gross trajectory that you'll see though for online grocery is pretty different at least local on my groceries pretty different than 10 for typical e-commerce there are a lot of. Surmountable but but important hurdles to triggering or prompting that first order in so I did see. Retailers like Amazon and Walmart doing some interesting promotional stuff at some times with their suppliers in a komarketing. Campaign trying to trigger that that order with either waived delivery fee or you know discounts if you if you buy in bulk. To a few different ideas but my suspicion is it's going to take a few years of. [21:09] Extended exposure to persuade you no more than a quarter of the the Target shopper base in any of those areas to try it once they do try it, if it's a if it's a good experience then they start shifting some of their stock up trips and some of their there. Routine grocery consumption to that model and that's where things get sticky I do think you know things like instacart lowering their annual membership fee to put it now actually a little below. Prime and definitely below Prime including Prime fresh. Where where before they were more expensive you know there's definitely that eagerness to. Drive drive trial and then through those membership models which not all the online groceries have try and unlock a household in. Jason: [22:03] Yeah it is one of the thing that's been fun for me about grocery is that it's both familiar and feels a lot like traditional e-commerce and then it's it's very different in for him anyway and one of those Pig ways people have talked about it all that much but for most categories of e-commerce what super important is the capture that second order from a customer right bike so it is actually not that hard to get a customer to make a one-time purchase but until you get a second order from that customer you really haven't formed at Habit in it you can spend much money to acquire the customer selling something wants and not be very successful so you have to work really hard to get that second order in groceries potentially the one category where that flips its so list based that it's super important that you be the first brand that gets in that list because like it's very likely that you better, had it thanks for that Chopper they're going to continue to to reorder off that list and Serta manicure that list rather than, like make new product decisions every single time. Keith: [23:08] Yeah that's exactly right and I was thinking even from the Retailer's point of view you know part of that. Complexity is the larger order size that there in the average amazon.com order there's between one and two items. But a typical grocery in in online grocery orders or even larger, will have 25 or 30 items under 20 or $150 and that that take some planning in in a little deliberation to build that basket. And as a result there's a lot of Abandonment of the online carts when you add three or four of your items and then. Say you know what I know exactly where those items are if the the Stop & Shop. [23:58] Three-quarters of a mile down the road I can get down there and get in and out and just have this stuff in the kitchen in an hour so you know there's it and then all the concerns about. Produce freshness and I want to pick my knee and and all those things and in a lot of those things are some out of all but yeah once you get the Shopper to try on my grocery from the Brand's point of view you're exactly right. You know search still matters but it it matters, Less in the online local full basket models then then on amazon.com and that favorites list is a big part of it in there there have been some clever things folks have done, like letting you link an in-store loyalty card to your online account so that they can pre-populate your first online order. [24:48] Based on what what you typically Buy in their stores so people for years has had a a feature called guess my order like that and I think that's clever and we're actually starting to see, at least a b testing or or piloting if not full scale. Roll out of sponsored products in shopping list and Registries and some of those things you know just this week we were noting that some of the baby registries on Amazon are are. Displaying inline sponsored products alongside what the the new parents are actually asking for that it's getting very interesting because there's all this disk Clarity that. You do need to be on the list but. Getting on the list is much less straightforward than how you drive traffic to a product page or a lot of the things that other brands have spent the last decade or two optimizing for in a. Spearfishing amazon.com style model. Jason: [25:55] Yeah and you did highlight I think one that that getting a lot of covers this week I want to see Wall Street Journal may have ran an article exposing some of the, the Amazon sponsored listings in in baby registry and I have to say that feels and looks to me like particularly oil. Like literally what's happening is is Shoppers Bill the registry list they send it to all their friends and Procter & Gamble has the option of spending a half million dollars to have, to add their own products to your list with in a very settled sponsor branding and it it it literally says on it you know zero of one purchase just like any other item on that, gift registry and so your friends are buying the stuff out the Procter & Gamble ad because they think you've requested it and if you know Amazon to me is a very good shopper friendly, company that like you know claims they always really focus on the user and this is to me one of the most over cases where, like they could we are not focusing on the user and that in that execution. Scot: [27:00] Yeah it's hard to say what's going to Sticks Amazon is like you doing multi-grain testing counseling so web see if something like that 6 I think but it feels oily Amazon is typically done a pretty good job of pulling back on it but we'll see. Keith: [27:14] We obviously see a lot of the knot, unit test by test what's what's being tested but we were like like Channel advisor would be wear on their side all day and in the testing is really escalated this year and a lot of it has been around sponsored products, every week you see an article about not only the gross but the importance of that Revenue to there. To their profit model so I think they are really just testing the boundaries and not only saying what works but listening for the reaction and seeing out. Ruffles feathers that doesn't around the ecosystem. Scot: [27:57] That was a good summary of what your scene in Holiday lets this kind of pull back up to 30 thousand foot level 1 of things we've been wanting to get you on the show to talk about is just the more general pricing I report you guys put out there, give us a an overview of what you're seeing and kind of more of a macro Sensa and any interesting highlights you want to call out we would love to hear. Keith: [28:21] Sure bite I think by this point it's it's evident that most retailers have some. [28:32] Competitive intelligence and repricing capability and the the margin compression. That that has resulted in when it's not widely deployed I think he has become a big topic so I mean the tactics I think you're really important but we we just did a big, survey with kantar Consulting of 200 brands. Globally and in the number one challenge that they cited above all the other challenges was pricing and profitability, I think one of you mentioned you had seen the the recode story about the big shift. It seems to be underway between how Amazon had been. Essentially tolerating this emerging one p3p hybrid strategy that some suppliers have been operating are exploring what what what Amazon basically did was, Crackdown and say if you're doing business with us directly is a vendor we want you to be a first party vendor and even if you've identified and authorized reseller, is trying to enforce that authorization against unauthorized resellers. [29:54] We we need you to consolidate on the one piece 5 in and you know when you hear some of the commentary and that record article from folks around the industry, it's pretty alarmist or at least it sounds very alarmed but I think innocent it's a fair characterization. You know this is not a particularly new problem but is the growth is compounded especially in these low-margin hot high velocity consumables category. That there quickly Awakening to. The supply chain in and unity conomic realities in realizing boy we have to, contain cause and we have to raise a species until what where that leads us is wheat we definitely see a handful of retailers competing aggressively, everyday shelf pricing on the items that everybody carries in common but there's also been a big escalation of. What I think I was more strategic investments in in either value or non price point of difference. [31:09] An example would be something like jet smart card which I'm not suggesting is widely adopted or or loved by shoppers but it is a way to make the economic trade-off that, impact the retailer explicit to The Shopper so that they can align interest and say, hey if you waive the privilege of overturning the product that saved us so will pass some savings on. But much more investment in private label and exclusive Brands very aggressive Push by Amazon over the last few months in what in some categories might be a bit of a pivot from. There their previous private label. Strategy to more of an exclusive strategy a lot more tie-ups with some of the. Direct-to-consumer Insurgent Brands and a Target is been partnering with a lot of those brands that. [32:08] Built a little awareness through direct consumer model but then hit a ceiling and needed a partner to scale so I don't know if that's exactly what you had in mind on the price something but what I'm going to harden to see is. That the retailers are starting to think of ways to transcend, Brute Force matching hourly on every item regardless of other impacts cuz I think we can all see that's not going to be sustainable for five years. Jason: [32:42] Yeah I know it's early as a race-to-the-bottom maybe a close cousin or lated to like you know all the the, Dynamic pricing and and controversies there is just sort of General product visibility right like so a super common narrative all have is every three piece our thinks they're being disadvantage invisibility versus stuff that Amazon selling directly so they they think. [33:09] Amazon somehow cheating and making one p product more visible than their 3p version, and like increasingly as Amazon has more more their own products all the all the you know National Brands feel like there, there somehow disadvantaged invisibility versus Amazon zoned products and the the newest iteration of this I've heard is a lot of them, there's several of my clients that are from very large Brands like have asked if, I believe that Amazon is disadvantaging a large brand versus smaller digitally native Brands because their perception is, that that sort of small Challenger brands are emerging and and doing really well with his ability on Amazon and their their perception is that it must not be a completely Level Playing Field like my overall reaction all that is that it's, Amazon has a pretty fair system and they just know the system best of the they're able to take most advantage and there's not anything nefarious going on there like I mean. You guys have about that. Keith: [34:17] I definitely have a few thoughts I think Amazon. With their own labels we've seen a couple a B test that they seem to be running only for their brands not for others so that you might argue could be. Putting a thumb on the scale but I generally agree I think it's a pretty fair system overall and I don't think that big brands are necessarily disadvantaged I think they just don't. Have some of the Scale based at Pantages on Amazon's platform. They're accustomed to in brick and mortar where it's a lot more relationship-based and things like, category management are really relevant whereas, they are relevant but less so at the end LaSalle I do think though you know when you look at some of the inherited limp inherently limited selection. Platforms like Prime now in Fresh & Pantry those are certainly biased towards. Mainstream National best selling items so it in some of those areas they have the benefit and I think as the. Is the sponsor product in any Amazon advertising. [35:43] Options continue to expand and grow in importance again he who can pay is going to play so I think there are signs that. [35:56] Yeah I think it's a Level Playing Field in the broadest sense but there are Pockets where brands of any scale can can get it banned. Scot: [36:05] Cool see you talk a little bit about sponsored products what kind of things can you guys either can you can you see like lift that brands are getting from doing this or or anything like that in any interesting Abe. Keith: [36:24] Yeah yeah I mean I think we see things like who's sponsoring which keywords. What which is is always interesting because Amazon is a lot more Wild West than thing Google is at this point and in some of the targeting you can do just week by week seems to get, more interesting. You can Target competitive products brands that there's a lot that's interesting but we see it at least where it's our clients product. [37:01] You know traffic conversion in that gets really helpful. When you're trying to optimize campaign spend because some of the the internal reporting doesn't tell you things like you can pay to drive a lot of traffic to this page but. Nobody buys a product it doesn't convert so I think some of the brands are are just trying to ramp up as quickly as I can understanding. How the platform Works what are all the metrics and interesting time because in that area in particular is we've been, repeating it it's becoming so important in most companies we've encountered it was manage historically. [37:49] Bye-bye the Amazon team. Where it can be argued it should naturally live cuz it's a lever that drives growth but it's not the only lever the trash growth on Amazon but because the work is so similar to sem. In traditional search engine a lot of the marketing teams are really starting to get interested. And and I think it's just going to be interesting to see how how the work ultimately gets managed and and whether this ends up being more of a, lever among many, in the context of growing on Amazon or is Amazon media Network. Transcends Amazon properties and in more more resembles a Google Network it's just going to be so interesting. Who ultimately does the work are you going to merge sales and marketing. Scot: [38:45] Yeah I think we can you and I can both agree you wouldn't want like one of these ad agencies to do it or you know like this like a sapientrazorfish or anyone like. Keith: [38:55] No it should definitely be the analytics companies. Jason: [38:59] I feel like the on-demand Car Wash company should really be doing it. Keith: [39:03] I was wondering how we were going to work that in I will say something Jason that make you may find hardening when we ask these 200 brands. What are you spending on it what are you going to spend on you know thankfully e-commerce data analytics and insights was number one but search agencies and product content agencies were number till 3 so. The Outlook seems somewhat Rosie. Jason: [39:32] Yeah well I mean I feel like there's headwinds and Tailwinds and and I'll ask you a question that like potentially highlights one of the Tailwind, are headwinds weather at the moment it does be like most brand Outsource all this work like they Outsource a lot of the content development work for optimizing digital shelf and they optimize a lot of the the Amazon media works sponsoring visibility on the site what I run into a ton is usually their Outsourcing both of those pieces of work to two different entities. Disappointed maybe their traditional paid search agency that they're having do they Amazon marketing stuff or or they may find a specialty friend that does that and they have someone else focusing on on Rescue optimization, in the long run it won't surprise me of a lot of that work comes in house cuz it's quarter their brand building and, you know I think Amazon has a vested interest in building a tool set that's easy enough for the, the clients to use directly but at the moment we're the Outsourcing it I feel like it's a tragic mistake to to divide those pieces of work because in my mind if so, critical to have Synergy between like you both need glasses on the products and then you need conversion on the products right and so. Don't spend much money on visibility for excuse that that you haven't optimizing are going to be able to convert and vice versa don't spend a bunch of money optimizing excuse that no one's ever going to see. Keith: [40:59] Yeah no I like you I'm a big fan of not covering one eye when you don't need to and in a lot of how we structure our analytics is trying to. Give me the complete picture so I think if if you're. So specialized that you're you're doing great work in a narrow domain that has implications for the rest of the flywheel. You're never going to. How to execute and you might end up causing a lot of problems and we do see that scenario sometimes where the left hand isn't talking to the right and you have wildly different creative below the fold. The contrasts with. Clearly heavily SEO optimized above-the-fold content and you just look at his page and you're like what is going on. Was there nobody that had final sign off and looked at this and said this is not coherent. Scot: [42:02] So you're you guys have this survey data and then like the pricing data maybe just kind of top-of-mind what are some things brands are doing right and wrong that you see obviously don't call out any friends and stuff wrong and then any other you know maybe there is a certain brand AC that is kind of like the case study for for how you knock down all the best practices in anything like that you can share with us. Keith: [42:29] Yeah what one thing that we noticed in some some other research we did was there's been an uptick in the. Especially the high end of the consumer products industry that is the largest companies. Doing things like corporate venture capital and either technology or brand accelerators and going back to the sort of unfair Advantage discussion, we were having as it relates to Big brands of small Brands I think you know that gets. [43:02] Interesting because there are some disadvantages that a big brand has not because of a decision Amazon is making but inherent to that. Retail model in other words in a drugstore there's four feet of shelf space and very limited Choice I've been a lot more Choice than one might need but. You know limit of choice so you can manager for peas and really get unfair advantage. But at the endless aisle whenever shop researches differently that there's no question the demand curve is not going to be is concentrated at the Hat. And that. That I think is going on a lot of the big Brands who have seen the share shift to Insurgent or emerging brands in a realizing we need to. Think differently about building Brands and and watching friends and I see him moving with more jiloty so you know what an example is setting up. Essentially a standalone business unit that has the autonomy to go and then decide. All facets of it what they want to do we see about 16% of Brands doing that that's one thing that I think it's is interesting I think the biggest thing that they're missing although some of the. [44:29] Smart Ones in the ones that that have been directly impact that are getting really serious about supply chain and unity economics and that means you know deeply involving. E-commerce in the R&D process and new product development process so that you're thinking of product form and packaging and pack configuration in summer even to jointly funding. Research and automation both Warehouse in in last-mile automation both of those are areas that are just seeing tons of capital. Inflow right now and I don't think there's at least outside of the warehouse there's no clear model that is. Dominant but but I think you know not not paying attention to the unity candle makes it is the biggest Pitfall I can see. Jason: [45:22] Yeah it's it's not hard to imagine why that's not a good practice keeps running up on time I want to get one more question in before we we do wrap up though maybe kind of, taking our head out of some of the the minutiae and the tactics like big picture how do you see all of this. Hannah playing out over the next I don't know you know 3 to 5 years are we still. Do you sell see a market that has a similar number of competitors with a consumer with a similar market share that we see today or, you think it's going to feel a lot different. Keith: [46:03] I think you know I interviewed Liza landsman when she was. I think Chief customer officer a jet in this was about a year after they launched and she said. Everybody thinks that e-commerce is going to be a winner-takes-all market just like most technology markets we think it's not we think it's going to be a binary Market with two dominant choices and we're going to be, one of those two choices and it's starting to look like that you know I think from a Marketplace perspective. It is winner-takes-all in the broadest sense most countries or regions seem to have one dominant, Marketplace in a lot of niche market places but I think it's plausible that you'll see Amazon at Walmart. With dominant share in the US I think you'll see Alibaba and JD. In China Inn in scenarios like that I do think because of. [47:14] The capital intensity of owning and operating the infrastructure. There are advantages that that scale brings to an Amazon or Walmart that is time goes on it just gets harder and harder to to catch up without renting some of that infrastructure Pro. Jason: [47:34] Yet no I wholeheartedly agree I feel like we're currently moving towards a lot of duopolies the smart alec Amy has to wonder was that Liza interview before or after the jet acquisition because I sort of agree with her where we're probably you know part of a duopoly after the Walmart Acquisitions but I'm not sure jet was well-positioned to be but one of that part of that duopoly before the Equus. Keith: [47:58] If I recall it was before but I interpreted her to be sort of projecting. Into the distant future that jet either independently or perhaps as part of a larger entity like Walmart they thought they had a Playbook that would. I think fill in the space at the opening price point in really price oriented. [48:24] Value equation that that Amazon had frankly seated a little bit with a lot of its bundling, you know baked into the idea of we want Prime membership to be so valuable it's irresponsible not to be a member is we're just going to keep doing some stuff for you, that you may not know about care about value and I think Mark Lower. Well you know we can just go back in at the low end and and we can beat them on price if we get creative, so I think there's there's value there I am always watching with the hard Discounters like Aldi and Lidl who are are quietly doing a bit, online those folks are always interesting at least in the grocery and tpg contact and there's more more chatter about Alibaba coming to the u.s. It in a much different way than they have so far and what that looks like everything is just going to be interesting but it's it's hard when the market is at this stage. To enter from afar and make an impact I don't know we really haven't seen it online outside of Amazon. [49:46] And in some of their International expansion but we definitely saw him brick-and-mortar and and I think there's been a lot of, retrenchment retrenching over the last 10 years following the 90s so it'll be an interesting 5 years. Jason: [50:02] Yeah. For sure to me that is one of the fun Parts about being in the industry right now is it does not feel like the play book is written or or certainly not set in stone. Keith: [50:14] No I meet you at just think of all the new I know you said we have to wrap up and I promise we're almost done but think of all of the new devices and user interfaces that are actually starting to, materialize any voices the big break out and it's not really there for e-commerce but I think is it continues to improve and people get more experience with it. It's going to open all kinds of environments in contacts to. Commerce in a lot of other things as May augmented reality it if it reaches. Mainstream adoption so I think when you look back at it how. Markets gettry architected especially in technology markets whenever there's a platform shift like that it tends to Crown their winners so it if ways continues to expand and becomes a bigger deal. Whoever owns voice is going to be interesting and I think there's going to be a lot of surprising new hardware coming over the next 18 months it's going to keep us all fascinated and busy. Scot: [51:25] Amazon said that 10,000 people working on the Alexa team. Keith: [51:30] I saw that there's a robot rumored to be launching and I have a new love of robots so that's one of the things I'm looking forward to. Scot: [51:40] Jason be all over that. Jason: [51:41] Yeah it's a double win like not only could those things drive more Commerce but just acquiring those things will drive more calmer. Keith: [51:48] Exactly right. Jason: [51:49] It's another flywheel and that's going to be a great place to leave it because it's happening again we've used up all our a lot of time if you were itching to make a comment or ask a question feel free to continue the conversation on our Facebook page and will be monitoring that as always if you enjoy the show the that never went on the Christmas list for Scott and I this year is for you to jump on the iTunes and give us that 5-star review. Scot: [52:14] Keith thanks for joining us I know you're super busy we really appreciate it where can folks find you online. Keith: [52:19] They can reach me at Keith's at profitero's. Com for just find me on LinkedIn thanks God thanks Jason big fan and and really grateful for the invitation.

For Halloween let's take a look at some of the most haunted locations in and around Hollywood. From the Pantages to the Hollywood sign to a couple of my own personal experiences.
In 1933 debris from an explosion flew through the window the Vancouver Cafe and Grill, a restaurant Tom Carter’s grandfather owned on the Hastings strip. It was the end of his grandfather’s restaurant, but years later it would be the starting point for Tom’s investigation into Vancouver’s nightlife history. Tom started collecting artifacts from The Pantages - the theatre across the street from his grandfather’s restaurant that had been bombed by the Chicago mob. He started painting scenes from the city’s nightlife district as well - neon lights, rainy streets, and Vancouver’s once vibrant Vaudeville performance culture. But the history Tom started rescuing is at risk of disappearing without a trace. Real estate development, old age, and fading memories make it difficult to conserve the city’s past. Tom is collecting stories and archiving Vancouver’s nightlife history - all while trying to recreate the scenes he feels on the canvas. You can view Tom’s artwork at his website here: http://www.tomcartergallery.com/ www.interestingvancouver.com

This week we move away from our normal format to bring you the first of a three part trillogy called "His Dark Matterials." It's a series that was written by Philip Pullman and for those of you who remem ber the film "The Golden Compass," well .... this is it. It's called "Northern Lights," and was originally broadcast on Jan 4 2003 as "The Saturday Play." I don't want to say much more but if you like it or wanna chat about it the voice mail is open at 206-338-5879. Btw next week I'll be seeing Phantom Of The Opera on Opening night here at the Pantages in Hollywood so I'll say a little. Enjoy.
