I'm Mani. I'm Noah.

This is Devin.

And this is No Such Thing, the show where we settle our dumb arguments and yours by actually doing the research.

On today's episode, is my phone listening to me right now?

There's no such thing.

No such thing.

No such thing.

No such thing. No. First question. First question. Do you guys use voice assistants, like devices?

Very infrequently, I'll tell Siri to put something put something on my calendar okay i've um for most of

my life have not used a calendar until very recently what at all now i'm needing to use a calendar

busy yeah because you're an adult man you've never used the calendar it's not that i wasn't

busy enough to use a calendar it's that i just

would remember everything but now i'm starting to like i can't remember everything it's not on the

calendar it doesn't exist to me yeah it's it's very important to have have it on the calendar

so you that's the only way you use here yeah it puts up on your calendar only it's only to uh put

hey syri put it add you know add this to my. And that's like on your phone. On my phone. Yeah. Not like, you don't have like a echo or something. Nope. Devin. I'm an Alexa head. So a lot of shit in my apartment is set up to go through Alexa. And I really notice it when I go on vacation.

Talk to like a crazy person.

And it's like, oh.

Or they're like I'm having actually some issues this week with my Alexa it's like I got to restart it whatever it's not working and I just have been putting it off and then I'm like oh like how I'm going to turn off the lights because the lights are tied to the Alexa and music like every everything in my house is tied to these Alexa so when So when Alexa doesn't work, I'm like, oh, I'm very relying on this. Yeah, I don't really do voice. The only voice activation stuff I do is like on my Roku remote where you press the mic and say a movie or whatever. Oh, yeah. Just because it, especially certain apps, it's the way they set up keyboards it's no it's it's insane like why

would you put the alphabet in one straight line it makes no sense you i would rather you randomize it
