The following recording may contain explicit language. I can't get more explicit than may.

Let's just say it may.

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, then play it, gist on the Alexa.

It's Monday, January 6th, 2020 from Slate, it's the gist I'm Mike Pasca.

Unnecessary clarification of the month. I know it's early in the month, but I thought I had this one nailed.

When I read the New York Times story, headless body and cave is identified as 1916 axe murder suspect.

I thought I came across the unnecessary clarification of the month.

Well, under that headline, about the 1916, headless axe murderer was a graphic of the actual wanted poster,

wanted for murder, Walt Karen's about 40 years old, not his actual name.

So anyway, here's how the story goes.

In the spring of 1916, a bootleger and Idaho escaped from jail by hiding a saw in his shoe and using it to cut his way out of his cell.

Okay, I gotta say, if that's indicative of your pat down procedure, you Idaho jail, you deserve to be broken out of.

Sorry, good citizens of Idaho who don't want an axe murderer wandering around, but the jail cannot be allowed such laxity.
