Hey Google. Start the Inside the Hive podcast. John, I have a question for you. Do you know about the Google Assistant on Google Home?

Nick, do I know about it? I'm living it every day.

We have a home in our living room.

We have the Hockey Puck in our den and we're looking to install another home somewhere else in our house.

I love it. So I just got one and the

hockey puck the little is beautifully designed. It's like this it looks kind of like a

hockey puck and it comes in white and black and we have one on our bookshelf in the living room.

But I'm amazed at all the ways I've been using it.

I went to CES this week, of course, in Las Vegas and I used the Google assistant to I said

hey Google what's the traffic like to the airport I said hey Google what is my

flight on time I asked I asked it to play a podcast, the Inside the High

podcast. What do you guys use it for in your house? The first thing we do when we wake

up in the morning is we ask Google for the weather that day, what the

temperature is going to be.

My son asks Google to play his favorite songs or soundtracks from his favorite movies.

I always use it to ask sort of nagging questions and and then I ask Google just play the news

so that while I'm buttering my toast and making coffee I'm hearing all these

different podcasts that I listen to and and news reads from from other brands that are terrific and I feel totally informed and I'm frankly I'm used to

Searching verbally now as much as I am on a keyboard and do you use it for I've heard people that use it for, you know, to figure out what

meetings they have that day or to set reminders to themselves.

Do you do that stuff too?

Oh, absolutely that.
