I was doing a very important project in the garage.

I feel like I should be giving this exclusive to the Vergecast,

where I have spent many hours.

And in fact, I FaceTimed Nelai from the garage.

But fans of mine and the Vergecast and my interview with Craig Federigi

will know that I've been on a month's long journey to get my garage working

with Siri.

You've got to break it here.

Come on.

And I want to break some news.

I know.

Let me break this news here.

Joanna Stern has finally gotten

her garage to open by saying, and you know what, I'm going to say it here.

So everyone who's listening, if you have this set up, it will do it on your phone.

Hey, Siri, open the garage.

What was the trick?

Can you?

No, now you're opening your garage.

No, it needs my face ID, so it's good. It didn't do it. Good. That's why I use on the podcast, if I can think of it, I called all of the various devices, hey, dingus.

You know, you got me. I watched your, everyone, I want to talk about a couple of your recent videos and columns, but I watched your most recent one where you went on the weekend or was it a weekend? I don't know, but you went on an overnight trip with a bunch of voice assistants. And some of a gun, the home pod in my office set a timer for six minutes or whatever, whatever you were asking for. Oh, I've heard from quite a few people that I've done that. But I wish there was a way,

like, for the systems to know this is not a natural voice in the environment. You should not.
