Aisles and seeing the ones that i didnt get to see. It just makes me feel good to see the products. So by trying to move this process out online, they are essentially solving a problem that doesnt exist . I would say they are, and theyre also shooting themselves in the foot, so theyre trying to invest in something that they make less money and undermines a business that is successful and people are generally happy with. Reporter but dont tell that to amazon steie i see Real Solutions to peoples problems and lives today, which are very busy, very hustle bustle, and i think that were providing a solution that makes peoples lives better. Reporter so maybe on a thanksgiving to come your cooking will be out of the box. Definitely good enough to eat. That looks insanely good. Reporter but in the long run will the recipe last . The cbs overnight news will for the past quarter century the Blue Man Group has been a new york city institution. Playing in a small theater in greenwich village, but over the years the blue man have gone global. Blue crew. Reporter two and a half miles south of broadways theater district theres a show unlike any other in town. For the last 25 years three men painted in blue have been giving this eyepopping, mindbending performance using the unlikeliest of props like marshmallows and pvc pipes to wow the crowd. How did you even come up with the idea of creating instruments like this . We just love the tubes when you hit them. Theres actually no overtone. It doesnt sound like a zbliel phone in that wooden or metal way. Reporter chris wink and phil stanton are two of the three founding members of the Blue Man Group. When we started out, we were really interested in kind of asking through this project through the character kind of whats essentially human . I didnt feel like i had a tribe. I fit in everywhere, but i felt on the inside like i fit in just guy. Reporter they started as street and Club Performers in the consumerdriven 1980s, and with the help of cofounder matt goldman, a singular character began to develop. We instinctively wanted blue man to be universal. We wanted it to feel like he was not from any particular nation or culture or race or anything. We didnt know we were creating a show, actually, but what we were really doing was doing what the Marx Brothers d, developing pieces that would later become the signature pieces in our show. At what point does it become viable and something that you realize youre going to be doing for a long time . Well, it was all kind of a series of accidents. We would do a performance as a guest in someone elses show, and then next thing you know they asked us to do a full show, and we said we dont have that much material, but well see what we can do. At a certain point we had enough lets do this. Reporter the idea of a silent trio of blue men performing oddball tricks and satireizing culture confused some at first. What is it . What is it you do . Reporter as the founders told charlie rose back in 1992. Heres stanton and wink. All the Great Technology that people were coming up with was sort of the purpose of keeping people in their apartments with the vcrs and fax machines and everything. Our sensibilities about people getting together and not being isolated. It allows us to be an outsider in the mundane world. Its a familiar technique. You know, a mermaid, a martian, a brother from another planet. . Reporter the show is constantly evolving to keep up with the times. While the earliest versions tackle the just emerging issue of information overload, it now incorporates giant Smart Devices or gipads vying for your trengs a. Were curious about the loss of the tribe. Were all about moving forward into the future and into, you know, innovation and all that, but theres a few things from our ancient past that we need to bring with us. If youll notice, at our show theres a vibe kind of in a weird way with all this weird modern stuff happening, but its probably similar in our minds to being around the campfire in the hunter gather period, in the cave. You know . Just playing some drums and just grooving because thats kind of in our reporter as its profile groove, the Blue Man Group got bigger. The show would expand to seven locations around the world from las vegas to berlin, which meant there needed to be more blue men able to perform. How did you go about casting other blue men . I dont think we could envision at first that other people can and should play the character. It was actually an incredible infusion of energy for us because we stopped talking about it wasnt my version of it was, you know, the blue man. So the blue man typically leave their hands by their side. Reporter they now hold tryouts around the world. This was the first audition for a group that we visited back in august. Okay. Very good. Reporter andy tallon and stephan rue have been training to be blue men for two months. How does it feel to be coming in to this group of performers . Its pretty special. I mean, its a long process. Its an eightweek process. Sort of a graduate of class in the character and in the performance and it feels like an honor. Reporter stephan first auditioned four years ago in berlin. Both are now performing in shows. Thats stephan throwing marshmallows. You are just thinking thats my job. Thats just like really fun. We need to find your individual root into this character. Theres just hours and hours of discussion around the training because its a subtle other, or too funny, it doesnt work. If someone is too dead and doesnt have any life force, no charisma to it, it loses its profundity. Its a sophisticated kind of balancing act that gets to a very simple but very soulful performance. Reporter this week the Empire State Building paid omage to their blue empire for a night. Chris wink and phil stanton hope their experiment will bero our test is what are the 15 er 15yearolds, 22yearolds we dont want it to be their parents show. We want it to be a show that resonates with them. Half of it is timeless, and half is a snap shot, and have you to keep taking the picture. The change that happens we can all see that in realtime. Its almost more interesting to kind of play around with whats going to remain the same. You know . Whats essentially human . Were betting on drumming by , coughs that cough doesnt sound so good. Well i think you sound great. Move over. Easy booger man. Take mucinex dm. Itll take care of your cough. Fine ill text you in 4 hours when your cough returns.

Jamie wax has a story behind the blue crew. Miles south of broadways theater district theres a show unlike any other in town. For the last 25 years three men painted in blue have been giving this eyepopping, mindbending performance using the unlikeliest of props like marshmallows and pvc pipes to wow the crowd. How did you even come up with the idea of creating instruments like this . We just love the sound of theres actually no overtone. It doesnt sound like a zbliel phone in that wooden or metal way. Reporter chris wink and phil stanton are two of the three founding members of the Blue Man Group. When we started out, we were really interested inkind of asking through this project through the character kind of whats essentially human . I didnt feel like i had a on the inside like i fit in just about as much as a bald and blue guy. Reporter they started as street and Club Performers in the consumerdriven 1980s, and with the help of cofounder matt goldman, a singular character began to develop. We instinctively wanted blue man to be universal. We wanted it to feel like he was not from any particular nation or culture or race or anything. We didnt know we were creating a show, actually, but what we were really doing was doing what the Marx Brothers did, which was we were developing pieces that would later become the signature pieces in our show. At what point does it become viable and something that you realize youre going to be doing for a long time . Well, it was all kind of a series of accidents. We would do a performance as a guest in someone elses show, and then next thing you know they asked us to do a full show, and we said we dont have that much material, but well see what we can do. Material to go that it was a show and we said, all right, lets do this. Reporter the idea of a silent trio of blue men performing oddball tricks and satireizing culture confused some at first. What is it . What is it you do . Reporter as the founders told charlie rose back in 1992. Heres stanton and wink. All the Great Technology that people were coming up with was sort of the purpose of keeping people in their apartments with the vcrs and fax machines and everything. Our sensibilities about people getting together and not being isolated. It allows us to be an outsider in the mundane world. Its a familiar technique. You know, a mermaid, a martian, a brother from another planet. . Reporter the show is constantly evolving to keep up with the times. While the earliest versions tackle the just emerging issue of information overload, it now incorporates giant Smart Devices or gipads vying for your trengs a. Were curious about the phenomenon of a global loss of the tribe. Were all about moving forward into the future and into, you know, innovation and all that, but theres a few things from our ancient past that we need to bring with us. If youll notice, at our show theres a vibe kind of in a weird way with all this weird modern stuff happening, but its probably similar in our minds to being around the campfire in the hunter gather period, in the cave. You know . Just playing some drums and just grooving because thats kind of in our dna. Reporter as its profile groove, the Blue Man Group got bigger. The show would expand to seven locations around the world from las vegas to berlin, which meant there needed to be more blue men able to perform. How did you go about casting other blue men . I dont think we could envision at first that other people can and should play the character. Infusion of energy for us because we stopped talking about it wasnt my version of the blue man or phils. It was, you know, the blue man. So the blue man typically leave their hands by their side. Reporter they now hold tryouts around the world. This was the first audition for a group that we visited back in august. Okay. Very good. Reporter andy tallon and stephan rue have been training to be blue men for two months. How does it feel to be coming in to this group of performers . Its pretty special. I mean, its a long process. Its an eightweek process. Sort of a graduate school kind of c the performance and it feels like an honor. Reporter stephan first auditioned four years ago in berlin. Both are now performing in shows. Thats stephan throwing marshmallows. You are just thinking thats my job. Thats just like really fun. We need to find your individual root into this character. Theres just hours and hours of discussion around the training because its a subtle thing. If someone is too quirky, too work. If someone is too dead and doesnt have any life force, no charisma to it, it loses its profundity. Its a sophisticated kind of balancing act that gets to a very simple but very soulful performance. Reporter this week the Empire State Building paid omage to their blue empire for a night. Chris wink and phil stanton hope their experiment will be around for decades more to come. 15yearolds, 22yearolds we dont want it to be their parents show. We want it to be a show that resonates with them. Half of it is timeless, and half is a snap shot, and have you to keep taking the picture. The change that happens we can all see that in realtime. Its almost more interesting to kind of play around with whats going to remain the same. You know . Whats essentially human .

Honored Michael Jordan and kareem abduljabbar. He says ab dur jabar wasnt just an mvp on the basketball court. When a sport changes its rules to make it harder just for you, you are really good.
