Chapter 1: Who is Jeff Bezos and why is he significant?
I also want to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer because you guys paid for all this.
And now the world knows the real Jeff Bezos as well as Jeff Bezos knows himself.
I always worked really hard. I was nerdy. You were nerdy. I was nerdy. That hasn't changed, by the way.
Let's take a moment to get into business and talk about Amazon. They're the reason you were able to do all of your holiday shopping without wearing pants. That shit doesn't fly at Best Buy. Trust me, I've tried. And now Amazon is finding new ways to keep you coming back.
Chapter 2: What was Jeff Bezos's early life like?
Amazon is sending shoppers free samples curated to their taste as part of the company's push into advertising. Axios reporting, products free of charge that you may like are gonna show up on your doorstep, and it's all based on your purchase history on the website.
Okay. I like the idea, but how's Amazon gonna send you a sample of something? I mean, I get how that would work with like food or shampoo, but Amazon sells everything. Are they gonna send you like half a TV? The handle of a coffee mug? Just the tip of a dildo? They're like, if you enjoy this sample, you'll love the shaft. But...
But free samples aren't the biggest story about Amazon today, because just this morning, Jeff Bezos, Amazon CEO and the winner of capitalism, announced that he and his wife Mackenzie are getting divorced. Now, we joke a lot about Amazon, but it is sad to see any relationship not work out.
Thankfully, it does sound amicable, and we wish both of them the best, because at the end of the day, we're all people here. We know how it feels to go through a tough breakup. I don't think there's a joke about that, unless...
you are a financial analyst at CNBC, then there is something funny, you know, because you watch these people who are trying to talk about human emotions on air for the very first time.
Jeff Bezos tweets a few moments ago that he's getting divorced.
Yeah, that was somewhat surprising, yeah. Mackenzie Bezos will become one of the richest people in the world. Unclear what and where her interests may lie in terms of that. But listen, you know, I don't care if you're the richest guy in the world or not, getting divorced is... It's never fun, I'm sure.
You know, it's a courageous thing to tweet this. It is, I don't know what else to say other than the fact that he didn't need to do it. The man tweeted it. You didn't need to. A lot of times you kind of don't really kind of talk about it. Kind of, you know? I mean, kind of. I mean, you know what I mean? Kind of.
It's like, wow, business Louis C.K. over there didn't do well with that information. Yeah, emotional news is not his strong suit. I'm glad he's on CNBC and not working as a veterinarian, you know? Just be like, so your cat, he kinda, you know, his thyroid and then his kidney kinda, which for felines, I don't know, but anyway, here's his ashes, you know what I mean?
