I do. Reporter so with all these new services, profits cant be far behind, right . I call it the sheep effect. Reporter not so fast, says retail analyst curt jetta. When it comes to these Companies Jumping in well, theyre just theyre doing it. But, like, just stop and think. Is that right for you . So Grocery Stores are not dead. No, not at all. Reporter he says Online Shopping accounts for just 1. 5 of the 800 billion grocery market. A key reason is that right now he says buying groceries online is work. If im shopping online versus in the store, why is it so difficult for me online to figure out which can of baked beans i want . Well, because at any one time youre getting six on there.

I like personally being able to see the sales. 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 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 . 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 blue crew.

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 t 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 w 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 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 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 graduat 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 beun for decades more to come. 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 . With president obamas term coming to a close in january, he took one more opportunity to honor some of the people who have inspired him and us over the past decades. 21 of americas best and brightest from movies, sports, tv, music, and business were invited to the white house to receive the president ial medal of freedom. Its civilian honor. Jan crawford reports. This is a particularly impressive class. Reporter from a redford to a ross, to the boss.

Reporter this was president obamas final opportunity to honor americans for their the world. After tom hanks was acknowledged for more than his oscarwinning roles. America owes you a debt of gratitude, son. He has been an accidental witness to history, he has championed our veterans, supported space exploration, and the truth is, tom has always saved his best roles for real life. Reporter the president honored Michael Jordan and kareem abduljabbar. He says ab dur jabar wasnt just an mvp on the basketball court. When a sportng you, you are really good. What does that mean to you . To me it means i must have done something good in my lifetime or inspired a few people. Reporter an emotional Ellen Degeneres was acknowledged for her courage coming out almost two decades ago. What an incredible burden that was to bear, to risk your career like that. People dont do that very often. Reporter her challenge she tweeted they havent let me into the white house yet because i forgot my id. . Baby, we were born to run . Reporter as for bruce springsteen, obama had to admit i am the president. He is the boss. Reporter also among the honores, actress cecili tyson, mia lynn, and just retired dodgers announcer, vince scully. None of these honorees could ever be still, except for a brief time tuesday when they paused to pose for a once in a lifetime mannequin challenge.

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.

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 tribe. 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 . 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.
