Yacht-to-Dot. With 85 minutes, we'll demo show. For everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa. Hey guys, we're here.
A really weird thing happened the other day when I asked the A-lady in the kitchen for the flight time between Florida and Costa Rica. Sam, our son, is jumping on a plane with his girlfriend any moment now, actually, flying off to Costa Rica via Miami. And I'd already asked about the first leg of the journey, and that was just a straightforward answer. But the second leg of the journey, when I asked from Florida to Costa Rica, it said something like, according to an Alexa or something like that, and it said something completely wrong, completely different.
But afterwards, I said interesting in a kind of a slightly hmm way, and I don't think, in fact, I'm pretty sure I've not got follow-up mode on. And after I said interesting, she said this. She said, and I can reproduce this now by just saying, Alexa, thanks for your feedback. Thanks for your feedback.
Wow, can you imagine how weird that would be to get a wrong answer and then just sort of mutter interesting and then get that out of the blue. Not just an answer, but a close harmony sung answer. Thanks for your feedback. I have no idea what's going on there, but that was weird.
And it's weird that you can just say, hey, lady. Because normally if you want to say something, you have to say, hey, lady. Say, blah, blah, blah, and she'll repeat what you asked her to say. But no, thanks for your feedback.
Give it a go, guys. Now, we've got the email newsletter today, and in there it asked us to say, are we there yet? And I think we've covered this before, but it's a really, really good song, so let's give it a go. Alexa, are we there yet?
We've got a question from the back seat, and we're going to ask it on repeat. We'll quiz the whole family, even our pet. The question goes, are we there yet? Are we there yet, mum?
Are we there yet? Dad? Are we there yet? Grandma and Grandad, will we ask it again?
You can bet, are we there yet? Are we there yet? I'm bored now, are we there yet? I just saw a cow, are we there yet?
Her trip's long, are we there yet? Sing along, are we there yet? We've got a question from the back seat, and we're going to ask it on repeat. Are we there yet?
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? I don't think we've played that one before.
Now, a moment ago, I asked her to sing me a song talking about pets in that song, and she sung me the song about cats, which I haven't heard either. We've done the dog one, but I haven't heard the cat one, so to make sure I get it, I'll ask her to sing a song about cats. Alexa, sing a song about cats. There is something I've observed about our friends with fluffy fur.
Meow. A one, two, three, four, pass cats, big cats, they've got one thing in common, eating, feasting, snacking, like a session all with what called cats, bat cats, watch how they can pounce on, anything that moves mice and spiders to laces on your shoe, that's just what they do, that's nice, so try to hide and can't pull, so to rather not be blind, hungry all the time. Hee hee, and equal it up, let's do the dog one. Alexa, sing a song about dogs.
Doggies, are all I want to see. Doggies, they're all so friendly. Doggies, I just love doggies, and that's because doggies are so lovely. Greyhounds, rot-viles, cock-a-poos.
Dachshunds, pull to your favorite shoes. Poodles, of lovely poodles, a canine parade will raise a name. Shippoos, uphugs and labradors. Great games, with their enormous cores.
Raza, it's a schnauzer, there ain't a doggie that I don't adore. Spaniels, chihuahuas, and a dales. Huskies, wagging their glorious tail. Mugs, with floppy butts, a doggie the ship will raise to their...
Classic, classic stuff. Oodles, is that just a British word? I don't know. Cool, there you go, guys.
I've seen that lady to sing songs. She's got loads of others, hasn't she? And, yeah, a weird song response, out of nowhere. This is Robin Signing off, and we'll see you again tomorrow.
