WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.360 A M. Six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show on 3 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:07.240 demand on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:09.759 In a few minutes, right after the first break. In 5 00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:12.160 this hour, we're going to talk more about the death 6 00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:16.280 of actor Gene Hackman and his wife in a very 7 00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:20.760 strange situation. Although the sheriff dog and a dog. Yeah, 8 00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:23.039 the sheriff has said that there's no signs of any 9 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.000 foul play, but they're not ruling anything out yet because 10 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:32.560 there are some mysterious what would you say, mysterious circumstance circumstances, yes, 11 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:36.079 of what had happened there at the house in Santa Fe, 12 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:36.640 New Mexico. 13 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.640 I'm Gary, and I'm a better baseball player than you. 14 00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:42.079 I go to baseball cap. 15 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.000 I have never claimed to be a better baseball player 16 00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:49.719 than anyone ever. 17 00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.079 I think you did hit a couple doubles from what 18 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:56.039 I remember. 19 00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.359 I did, but that doesn't mean I'm better than anybody. 20 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.679 We have a run saving double plays, weren't you on 21 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:01.159 the end of that. 22 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:05.519 I do remember if we prevented the run from scoring. 23 00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:07.280 I mean, I don't remember. If there was a run. 24 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:08.799 I do, and it was masterful. 25 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:10.319 Well, thank you. I appreciate that. 26 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.319 Trump says Canada and Mexico tariffs will go into effect 27 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.879 next week, after saying it would be April yesterday. We 28 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.599 got clarification today. It's where we kick off swamp watch politician, 29 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.959 which means I'm a cheat and a liar and when 30 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.319 I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. Here we got. 31 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.239 The real problem is that our leaders are done. 32 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:30.599 The other side never quits. 33 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.439 So what I'm not going anywhere? 34 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.519 So that now you train the. 35 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.560 Swamp, I can imagine what can be and be unburdened. 36 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:39.799 By what has been. 37 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.879 You know, Americans have always been gone at present. 38 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:44.079 They're not stupid. 39 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.040 A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth. 40 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.159 Whether people voted for you were not swamp Watch, They're 41 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.400 all Canada. So there were some questions about whether or 42 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.680 not or I should say the timing of tariffs, when 43 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.439 they would come in, whether the proposed tariffs on Mexico 44 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.719 and Canada we'll go into effect, and when it turns 45 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:05.359 out according to a truth social post this morning, which 46 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.719 we've come to look at every day just to see 47 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.719 what the day is going to hold. Trump clarified that 48 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.080 in fact, those tariffs would go into effect on March fourth, 49 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.120 next Tuesday, that China would also be charged in additional 50 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.560 ten percent tariff starting also on March fourth. 51 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:26.400 He's blaming the flow of drugs, specifically fentanyl that has 52 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.879 not stopped now Mexico, no doubt about it, and there 53 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.280 was about ninety six hundred kilos that were intercepted at 54 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:39.919 the border with Mexico last year alone, ninety six hundred kilos. 55 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.400 At the border with Canada, there was just nineteen intercepted. 56 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.840 I'm still drugs, but clearly the issue is at the 57 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:48.719 Mexico US border. 58 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:49.080 There. 59 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.319 Canada not known to be a major source of fentanyl, 60 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.800 nor the precursor chemicals involving it. 61 00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:00.800 British Prime Minister car Starmer, the newb PM, is meeting 62 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:05.120 with President Trump today. They're talking about boosting defense spending 63 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.159 for both countries, talking about peace deal for Ukraine. 64 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.919 We'll be discussing Russia, Ukraine, We'll be discussing Craine and 65 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.319 lots of other items, and I think we can say 66 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:17.960 that we're going to be getting along on every one 67 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.520 of them. We've had a tremendous relationship. 68 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.800 Thank you for changing the conversation to bring about the 69 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.520 possibility that now we can have a peace deal, and 70 00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.240 we want to work with you to make sure that 71 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.280 peace deal is enduring, that it lasts, that it's a 72 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:32.960 deal that goes down as. 73 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:33.759 A historic deal. 74 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.400 Those two leaders are expected to hold a news conference 75 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.719 the old fashioned two podiums and a lot of questions 76 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:40.759 coming up in a few minutes. 77 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.439 Trump was asked what he will do if Putin ultimately 78 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.199 doesn't stick to the terms of that peace deal they 79 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.479 we're talking about. He said, I've known him for a 80 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.439 long time now, and I don't believe he's going to 81 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.199 violate his word. He said about Trump, I do not 82 00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:59.280 understand that, he also said, or he was asked, Trump 83 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.439 was if he's still thinks Zelensky is a dictator, and 84 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.719 Trump said, did I say that? I can't believe I 85 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.080 said that, he said. But the thing is is like 86 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:13.240 the words they do matter, you know. It's like, take 87 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.600 the tariffs alone, right like yesterday when he said it 88 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.120 was going to be in April. It's like, you know, 89 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.639 just things like that matter on the when it comes 90 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.720 to the markets. You know, investors interpreted those remarks yesterday 91 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.800 as a sign that Trump was going to continue delaying 92 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:36.120 the tariffs. The value of the peso the Canadian dollar increased, 93 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.079 and then everything went the other way when he clarified 94 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.040 the comments today. So I mean dictator, not dictator. Tariff's 95 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.079 in effect in March, in April, you've got a free, 96 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.439 willing president. The way he speaks, they do matter. The 97 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:59.000 words aren't just for our entertainment. They do matter, you know. Okay, 98 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.680 that's wi. 99 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.040 A female and male. Probably, I don't know. 100 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.160 I don't know if there's somebody quick. 101 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.680 That was a nine to one one call that led 102 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:11.079 sheriff's deputies in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to find the 103 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:16.720 bodies of actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 104 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.600 yesterday afternoon. And that call was made apparently by a 105 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:27.319 handyman caretaker who saw Betsy's body on the floor inside 106 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.759 the house and went down to call nine one one 107 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.639 had to escort deputies back up because apparently there's no 108 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.759 street address, or it's a gated community or something like that. 109 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.759 When the deputies got there and they found the bodies, 110 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:47.279 they saw enough suspicious circumstances that they backed out of 111 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.000 the house could basically just retraced their steps and got 112 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.720 a search warrant on the off chance that this was 113 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.600 more than just natural causes. 114 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.439 So she is found in the back room and there's 115 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.879 a pill bottle a bunch of pills scattered around her. 116 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.959 Her body shows signs of decomposition, much more so than 117 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.560 Gene Hackman's do. It appears from people in the know 118 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.319 that she's been dead much longer than Gene Hackman, at 119 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.079 least upon first glance. Her hands and feet are even 120 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:24.480 mummified to a degree. He's in another room. It appears, 121 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.680 according to the deputies that responded, that he kind of 122 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:31.399 fell down suddenly. The dog is in the closet that's 123 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.199 adjacent to the bathroom where the wife, Betsy was found. 124 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.439 The dog, German Shepherd, found dead in that closet as well. 125 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.439 The kids came out right away, three grown children Gene 126 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.360 Hackman has, all from a previous marriage. These two got 127 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.439 together in about nineteen ninety one. They were married. She's 128 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.800 much younger. She's in her early sixties, so about thirty 129 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:54.079 year age difference there. She's actually younger than his oldest son. 130 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.920 But anyway, the kids came out right away and said 131 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.879 it was carbon monoxide poisoning. Now firefighters and police agencies 132 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.519 and even the gas company have come out and said 133 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.759 there's no signs of that being the case. So what 134 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:11.439 was the case? Is this something where she died first, 135 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.160 and then the dog died, and then she died because 136 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.480 she was so distraught about the dog dying, and then 137 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:21.800 he dies he's ninety five from natural causes because he's 138 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:23.519 in another part of the house. I mean, there's just 139 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.399 so many questions about this. You've got three dead bodies, 140 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:28.879 including a dog. Remember there's two other dogs found in 141 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.319 the house that are perfectly healthy. Yeah, at least one 142 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.040 found in the house, one on the grounds. 143 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:37.439 Sources have told deadline dot Com that they had not 144 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.680 been seen for a few weeks. Neither Betsy nor Jeene 145 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.560 Hackman had been seen for a couple of weeks. Now, 146 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.240 that might be too long for the dogs to kind 147 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.439 of well, that would be too long for the dogs 148 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:54.480 to go without having food. But the question that I have, 149 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.720 or the sort of the scenario that could play into 150 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:02.879 this is when it's ninety five years old, fully within 151 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:08.800 the arena of potential dementia, and if something happens with 152 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.639 his wife, who, like you said, is much younger, she's 153 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.639 thirty year young, thirty years younger something like that than 154 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:21.439 he is. If something happens to her, then who's there 155 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:23.120 to help take care of him. 156 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.399 That's really the big question too, I mean, if was 157 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.319 she his caretaker, and if that was the case, did 158 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:34.279 she try to, for whatever reason, try to kill herself 159 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.000 with the pill? You just don't know how many pills 160 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.519 she ingested, what the pills were, if she ingested any 161 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.000 of them, or if she was just taking a morning 162 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:44.559 one a day vitamin and fell down and died for 163 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.200 whatever reason. You just don't know anything. You don't it's 164 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.000 hard to speculate because you don't know what the pills were. 165 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:51.919 You know, you don't know the state of the dog. 166 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.759 And if she was the caretaker, then why would the 167 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.960 family come by? If she's gotten things altogether and she 168 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.440 takes care of things for a couple of weeks. A 169 00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.799 couple weeks is a long time when her dad's ninety five, 170 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.519 not to make contact pretty long time. I don't know 171 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:11.519 what the relationship is with him and his kids either. Yeah, 172 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:14.200 but that's odd too, and that they wouldn't have help 173 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.600 for him. I mean, even though she's a lot younger, 174 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.799 she's sixty three sixty four something like that. If he's 175 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.679 ninety five and he's a big guy, I don't know 176 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.559 how she'd be able to take care of him on 177 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.399 her own if that was the case, if he was 178 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:29.399 well into dementia. 179 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:30.480 Yeah, and it's sound. 180 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.440 I mean, the last pictures that I've seen of them 181 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.120 were from a year ago, basically, when they were out 182 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.879 for dinner somewhere in Santa Fe. The last time anybody 183 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.200 that I've seen so far that says that they've spoken 184 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.600 to either one of them in person would have been 185 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:48.679 a neighbor who said that she saw Betsy Arakawa at 186 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.559 the home decor business back in January, and she said 187 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.320 at the time a gene Hackman seemed to be growing frailer, 188 00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.440 but that he was still painting and drawing. They were 189 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.360 always so what reclusive, even though everyone loved to be 190 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:07.200 around them. In my scenario, and again it's complete speculation 191 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.000 because we don't know the details of it. Something happens 192 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:16.840 to her and she dies. He either can't comprehend that 193 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:22.200 or doesn't comprehend that. And if he died after a fall, 194 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:23.919 which is what they said, it looks like because his 195 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.960 sunglasses were next to him, like he had put him 196 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.120 on to go out, or maybe was just coming back. 197 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.600 I don't understand any of that, Like why you would 198 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.919 base the fact that his sunglasses are next to him 199 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.240 that he fell. I don't understand how you could come 200 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:37.559 to that conclusion that quickly. 201 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.840 Well, where do you keep your sunglasses? 202 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.360 You don't keep them on the floor, but you could 203 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:46.240 be holding them. 204 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:47.600 Well, yeah, you're right. 205 00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.200 I mean, I don't know how they terminal if he's 206 00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.159 wearing them or holding them, but he had them. It 207 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.639 looks like and does that mean that he was going 208 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.799 out to get help or whatever. 209 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:58.399 I mean, it's one of those things. 210 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.320 Better when you're ninety five, you don't get out to 211 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.480 go help. To get help, you call, you pick up 212 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.519 the phone and you call nine one one right again. 213 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:08.200 If he but if he's in the. 214 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.600 Throes mobile at very few people. 215 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.480 They said also that the door, like the front door 216 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.799 was open, but no signs of any forced entry or anything. 217 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.840 Listen, it's well a number one of the dogs is 218 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:27.240 running around the property too, So uh yeah, it's not 219 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.840 out of the drama possibility that she dies for whatever 220 00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.879 reason and he is ninety five and maybe not all 221 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:36.480 there together, and he's he's got the dogs in the house, 222 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:38.960 and he's letting the dogs out and what have you, 223 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.639 and and then he succumbs to just being ninety five. 224 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:43.279 Who knows. 225 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:44.960 Yeah, and I don't think anybody why did. 226 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.480 The family come out right away and claim carbon monoxide 227 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:49.919 like they had not been there, They don't know anything, 228 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.399 And all of a sudden, they say, I mean, I 229 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.480 don't know. I didn't hear the interview, but to be 230 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.600 that definitive about your dad dying that quickly is just 231 00:11:58.639 --> 00:11:59.120 odd to me. 232 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:03.159 Yeah, make a whole lot of sense. No, it's time 233 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:04.759 for tech talk. 234 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:09.159 The machines are getting smarter. This is tech talk, brought 235 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.720 to you my sky net. 236 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.039 So Alexa's begin going to become even more powerful in 237 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:19.960 my household. I don't know if I can handle that. 238 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:22.960 I mean, I will say this, She does handle things 239 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.080 that I don't want to handle, Questions I don't want 240 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.360 to have to answer. So it is kind of nice. 241 00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:31.360 We've kind of come to an understanding. It's just it's 242 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.679 funny the way I hear my husband speak to her. 243 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.679 It's almost like he wants to yell at me like 244 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.919 that and can't, so he kind of takes it out 245 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.720 on Alexa. Or you know your name, that's better. 246 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.519 Mark Saltzman, our tech guru, joins us to talk about 247 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.039 Alexa plus. 248 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:48.720 What's going on, Mark. 249 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.840 Yeah, Hey, So I'm just returning from a coming out 250 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.720 party for Alexa plus. This is how they're celebrating how 251 00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.600 Amazon is celebrating the tenth anniversary of Alexa, the personal 252 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:07.639 assistant used by more than on the world. Alexa Plus 253 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.480 is a much smarter Alexa. That's the bottom line. It's 254 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.519 leveraging generative AI, large language models that have been all 255 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.799 the buzz. It's all the age, of course since Chatchipt, 256 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.480 but Amazon's been working on their own for a long 257 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.960 while as well. So she's going to get a lot 258 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:28.639 more intelligent, a lot more personal, meaning like not just conversational, 259 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:32.720 but she's going to remember things about you and even proactive. 260 00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:34.639 So let me give you some examples of what we 261 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:38.440 testro of yesterday in New York. And just so you know, 262 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.679 when you launch her for the first time, you just 263 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:43.480 say the wake word once and then after that you 264 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:47.240 do not need to keep saying burning. It's more conversational 265 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.159 like some of these other chatting platforms. So for example, 266 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:53.879 you can tell like you Gary Shannon, you can tell 267 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:57.200 Alexa that when you've got a food preference, like I 268 00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:02.240 love Thai food, but I'm also pescatarian, for example, and 269 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:05.399 so when you asked to recommend some recipes to make 270 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.600 it home, it'll remember all of that, even if it's 271 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:08.559 a year down the road. 272 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:09.000 It will. 273 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.960 It may include a tie recipe with no beef for 274 00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.000 pork in it, for example. Or if you ask for 275 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:17.519 a good restaurant to make a reservation, she'll recommend one 276 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:21.159 based on proximity to you and number of positive reviews. 277 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.000 It leverages data from Open Table, it'll make a reservation 278 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.519 for you. Or if you want to take out you know, 279 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:31.759 or whatever food delivery options, it'll remember what you tell it. 280 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.840 It will access your calendar in contacts with your permission. 281 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:39.039 So Alexa may notice that you have double booked your 282 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:42.200 daughter's dance recital with picking up a friend from the 283 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:45.279 airport same time, and so she will call that out 284 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:45.600 to you. 285 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:47.919 Maybe the day it's a real ding dong, isn't it? 286 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:48.240 Mark? 287 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.200 What's worse going to lax or going to the kid's recital? 288 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.720 I mean, I don't know that those are two hotherful 289 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.120 selections for my day. 290 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.919 Well, assuming you would rather be at your dance recital. 291 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.480 She Alexa may recommend that you book an uber to 292 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.919 pick up your friend instead, and she'll book it for 293 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:10.279 you and even text your friend up. Put it so 294 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:14.000 that that's kind of cool where it can analyze it proactively, 295 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:19.600 Eliza calendar and make those changes and message people you know. 296 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:25.519 It could advise and summarize documents that you update blowed 297 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.240 rather to Alexa dot com of a PDF from the 298 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.840 hoa from your local hoa and in the future you 299 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.480 can say, can I install ANALS on my roof? 300 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:36.080 Am I allowed? 301 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:39.360 And so we'll look at that docum that you uploaded 302 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.960 in the past and she'll say, yes, but it seen 303 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.360 from the road, go for it, or let me order 304 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.159 it for you. You are the popular solar panels, you 305 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.440 can buy it that kind of stuff. It could find 306 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.799 video clips. If you have not just a smart speaker 307 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:56.919 but a smart display, you can say, hey, did anybody 308 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.120 walk Buddy today? Buddy? And she'll remember that Buddy is 309 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.799 the name of your dog, Okay, and so Alexa then 310 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.840 will scrub forward through all of the ring video clips 311 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.360 from your home and show you if fog was seen 312 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.720 and if anybody was walking him or so yeah, I deah. 313 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:18.480 So it's a lot more conversational. It can create stories 314 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.039 for kids, including images on the if you have a 315 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:22.960 smart display, not just a smart speaker. 316 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:25.600 So it was actually really impressive. 317 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.399 I got to say. It was a two hour demonstration 318 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.600 and then some demos after that. And it's going to 319 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:36.399 be free for Prime members. That's otherwise it'll be nineteen 320 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:40.039 ninety nine a month. It's a plus and it's going 321 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.279 to start rolling out in Yeah. 322 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:44.879 But the price point I know that. I mean you 323 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.080 mentioned the price is there, nineteen ninety nine a month. 324 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:50.840 The issue you don't have Prime. 325 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.720 If you don't have Prime, my husband would never pay 326 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:54.799 for his side piece. 327 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:58.480 Well that's that's kind of what I'm saying, is that 328 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:02.080 the send all these you know, helpers. They can do 329 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.759 a lot of stuff. Does it really need to be 330 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:06.440 that tailored for people? 331 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.160 Well, it's just it's supposed to help you get more 332 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.039 done in less time, right, it's supposed to be more intelligent. 333 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:15.079 And you don't have to change how you speak to 334 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:17.759 her either, like in the past you had to talk 335 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.279 Alexa speak for her to understand you, or if you 336 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:24.839 cut her off, she you had to ask it again, 337 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:34.559 or if you said you stuttered now leveraging like hundreds 338 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:38.160 and hundreds of other apps like Uber or you know, 339 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:40.079 open table. I gave those examples. 340 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:41.279 So it's just. 341 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.720 Getting a lot more intelligent. It can analyze documents. Whether 342 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.720 you deem twenty dollars a month is reasonable or not. 343 00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:49.559 I mean, I think that's steep. But if you are 344 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.519 already a prime member, which to me, there's a huge 345 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.759 value proposition there with free deliveries and same day delivery, 346 00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:01.000 next day delivery, and access to prime music and videos, 347 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:02.920 you know, like movies and TV shows. To me, it's 348 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:05.119 a no brainer. But I can tell you from a 349 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:09.160 tech standpoint, price notwithstanding, it was really impressive. 350 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:12.440 All right, Mark, you. 351 00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:13.400 Don't sound convinced. 352 00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:13.720 I'm not. 353 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:15.519 I'm not.
