Okay, hang on a second. So first of all, prime day is two days now. Amazon cannot even accept

the limits it set on its own, completely made up holiday that it only started in 2015.

Here on Prime, however, we have, of course, observed the holiday, which has taken place

this year on June 21st and 22nd. So I thought I'd talk about prime day before we get to

the main interview for this episode. It was rolled out in 2015 to commemorate 20 years

of Amazon and 10 years of Amazon Prime. Prime day lasted all of two years before it started

expanding. In 2017, it went on for 30 hours and more countries joined in. In 2018, Prime

day lasted 36 hours. By 2019, Prime day was 48 hours and encompassed 18 countries. That

was the year Taylor Swift had lined what was called the Prime day concert. Alive stream

people, of course, could naturally watch on Amazon Prime video, in which was a very

strange event full of plugs for Amazon products and TV shows.

I wanted to say a special shout out to, you know, everybody here. It's so sick to see

you here. We also know that we have, but it's like 200 countries all over the world are

watching this on Amazon Prime video. So hey guys, anybody's watching this? Wherever you

are in the world, you really appreciate you watching this and wanting to see this show.

I want to say thank you so much to Amazon for having us all.

To be clear, by this point, we're talking about 175 million items purchased and sales

in the billions of dollars. What is Prime day now? Well, for consumers, it is still about

deals and for workers. It is, in fact, still about mandatory overtime, which shifts extended

from 10 to 12 hours and extra shifts added. One worker told me recently that he'll be mandated

to work 55 hours this week. That worker says he's in pain and a doctor told him that he

has carpal tunnel, but he hasn't formally filed with Amazon any information about this
