[2012.88 --> 2013.58] The microwave.
[2013.72 --> 2016.46] The Alexa enabled microwave is actually the best thing.
[2016.96 --> 2017.34] I think.
[2017.58 --> 2018.54] Sell me on it, James.
[2018.72 --> 2018.86] Okay.
[2019.08 --> 2019.32] Well.
[2019.56 --> 2020.88] Sell me on it, salesman James.
[2021.00 --> 2023.38] They kind of botched some of the coolest things about it.
[2024.18 --> 2029.34] So Amazon's, Amazon basics microwave with Alexa voice functionality will cost 60 bucks
[2029.34 --> 2030.86] when released on November 14th.
[2031.72 --> 2037.12] So originally I thought this is kind of cool because a lot of people want to add these assistants
[2037.12 --> 2039.58] to their kitchen, but it always takes up more space.
[2039.58 --> 2042.90] Like you're going to have like one of these tablets on your kitchen countertop and I don't
[2042.90 --> 2043.68] have space for that.
[2043.78 --> 2044.88] I'm going to interrupt you again.
[2044.88 --> 2048.12] Wired has been trying to link to these things the whole way through.
[2048.24 --> 2048.64] I'm pretty sure.
[2048.70 --> 2052.78] Cause they're trying to get affiliate revenue, but they linked to the microwave, but it's
[2052.78 --> 2054.16] not on Amazon yet.
[2054.24 --> 2060.28] So the, you click on the microwave and it tries to like their automatic link identifier
[2060.28 --> 2065.94] thing tries to bring us to .ca and it just lists like some random black and Decker microwave,
[2066.18 --> 2068.88] which has like three stars out of five.
[2068.98 --> 2070.04] Like people don't even like that much.
[2070.04 --> 2076.20] It also costs $772 because there's only one used one for sale and the pricing is just
[2076.20 --> 2076.56] broken.
[2076.74 --> 2077.92] So I was like, Oh, okay.
[2078.00 --> 2080.40] I'll just, you know what their automatic link thing.
[2080.40 --> 2081.36] He just derped us.
[2081.42 --> 2083.44] I'm going to switch that to.com.
[2083.56 --> 2084.32] Did that.
[2084.74 --> 2085.14] Nope.
[2085.14 --> 2088.96] Just a whole bunch more random microwaves.
[2088.96 --> 2092.74] I thought this was all like news links, but no, no, it's just affiliate links.
[2092.88 --> 2093.20] Okay.
[2093.68 --> 2094.42] Sounds good.
[2094.68 --> 2095.26] Thanks guys.
[2095.46 --> 2096.98] So you want an assistant in your kitchen.
[2097.30 --> 2100.02] You usually have to add some extra device on your counter space.
[2100.08 --> 2100.84] That sucks.
[2101.04 --> 2102.96] So I thought you can just buy a whole new microwave.
[2103.36 --> 2104.50] It's in your microwave.
[2104.50 --> 2105.80] That's already taken up space.
[2105.88 --> 2106.24] Sweet.
[2106.24 --> 2109.54] But it turns out it's not actually completely built into the microwave.
[2109.72 --> 2113.00] The microwave just pairs with, with an echo.
[2113.14 --> 2116.10] So it doesn't have mic microphones on the microwave.
[2116.50 --> 2120.80] So you still have to have your echo device within earshot or something like that.
[2120.88 --> 2122.04] But it, okay.
[2122.20 --> 2122.48] Nick.
[2122.58 --> 2125.82] I was just going to say, with the amount of avocado toast that millennials are buying,
[2126.68 --> 2131.42] all of our places are so small that one Alexa just fits your whole home anyway.
[2131.52 --> 2132.00] Yeah, it does.
[2132.10 --> 2134.14] Like I'm not Shaquille O'Neal with 17 bathrooms.
[2134.14 --> 2136.20] No, that's what I was saying.
[2136.26 --> 2140.52] Like the reason my Google home can hear me, even if I'm in bed, it ends in the living room.
[2141.06 --> 2142.40] Because my room doesn't even have a door.
[2143.46 --> 2144.66] My house is one room.
[2144.98 --> 2148.12] Also like just use your phone with Google Assistant.
[2148.74 --> 2149.22] Yeah, sure.
[2150.08 --> 2154.52] But the reason I think this actually kind of works on a microwave is for a few different reasons.
[2155.06 --> 2158.48] Number one, you don't want to learn how to do stuff on a microwave.
[2158.50 --> 2160.52] I want to dash order popcorn.
[2161.14 --> 2162.04] You don't want to learn.
[2162.14 --> 2163.00] Have you seen a microwave?
[2163.00 --> 2165.92] And you're like, okay, how do I, how do you set a timer on this thing?
[2165.94 --> 2167.20] I don't think that's ever happened.
[2167.30 --> 2169.32] How do you, they're confusing.
[2169.60 --> 2172.22] Number, number, number, giant green start button.
[2172.26 --> 2173.62] That's for the basic stuff.
[2173.86 --> 2176.40] I just hit start and hope that it works.
[2176.46 --> 2178.30] What are you doing in a microwave more advanced than that?
[2178.32 --> 2179.92] Like defrosting a fish.
[2180.08 --> 2183.80] And like there's tons of different advanced crap that no one uses.
[2184.00 --> 2187.86] And partly because you just don't want to invest that much time into learning how to use it.
[2187.86 --> 2189.44] Instead, you're just like, yeah, put it in for 30 seconds.
[2189.50 --> 2189.96] I'll check it.
[2189.96 --> 2194.70] But also partially because like if you use the popcorn setting, it burns your popcorn.
[2195.08 --> 2198.14] So just learn how much time it takes to cook your popcorn.
[2198.14 --> 2200.90] So this has presets.
[2200.90 --> 2202.48] So you can put something in.
[2202.60 --> 2209.80] And the example they have is, hey, assistant, heat up my, heat up one cup of coffee.
[2209.80 --> 2211.26] Heat one cup of coffee.
[2211.54 --> 2212.24] And it knows.
[2212.68 --> 2214.58] Jeeves, heat my coffee, please.
[2215.12 --> 2216.72] It knows what the item is.
[2216.72 --> 2225.66] See, if it was an oven instead of a microwave, you could at least be like chilling on the couch and be like, preheat to 400 degrees, Alexa.
[2226.08 --> 2226.54] Heck yeah.
[2226.64 --> 2227.62] Because you didn't want to get up.
[2227.74 --> 2228.14] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[2228.14 --> 2229.18] What are you going to do?
[2229.24 --> 2230.18] Preheat your microwave?
[2230.44 --> 2234.10] Dude, I'd be way more down with an oven-based version of this.
[2234.10 --> 2234.24] Yeah.
[2234.40 --> 2240.42] Even if you're not on the couch, even if you're just in the meal prep stage, if you're chopping something up and you're like, oh crap.
[2240.42 --> 2241.60] You get chicken all over your hands.
[2241.64 --> 2242.38] Switch to broil.
[2242.66 --> 2242.88] Yeah.
[2243.04 --> 2243.24] Yeah.
[2243.24 --> 2243.50] Boom.
[2243.96 --> 2244.96] Yeah, I'm sure it's coming.
