The following recording may or may not include instances of words being said that the FCC would find me for if their long arm could ever reach.

Hey, do you want to listen to the gist at home on your Alexa? Turns out we at Slate have built a new Alexa skill we're perfecting it.

So what you do is you say Alexa enable the gist to enable the skill on your Alexa device and then you begin playing the show.

And to play it after that you can say Alexa play the gist first enable them play it just on the Alexa.

It's Thursday January 9th 2020 from Slate. It's the gist I'm Mike Pasca. Maybe our leading thinkers on the right came under a misimpression regarding a category error.

She loved gardening. He always had time for his grandchildren. When she left the room, it was a more joyous place than before she entered.

Morners do not say things like, Uncle Jerome's death, though warranted, will destabilize the region.
