Yacht-to-Dot. With 85 minutes, we'll demo show. For everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa. Hey guys, we're here.
Different sound today. I'm up north with Judith's folks, so no mixer, no microphone, that sort of thing. And the Echo is still probably my favourite one. It's the original Echo Dot.
Actually, I think it's the second gen one here. But I don't know, I just like the sound. I think it's a bit crisper than Modern Dots. Maybe not the fourth gen?
Not sure. But anyway, that's what we've been listening to, and we're going to be revisiting a skill by those fab guys at Volley. It's called Volley Daily Trivia. And the last time we looked at it was over 1,600 episodes ago.
Alexa, open Volley Daily Trivia. Okay, here's Volley Daily Trivia again. Ask you seven true or false questions. With Volley Daily Trivia, there is a new set of questions to try each day.
