    As many of you might recall from my posts my wife is the IT person in this household.
    Not quite sure what to think of this but my wife has taught Alexa to be a potty mouth. You can give her a command and you will now get a R rated reply. I come in to my wife laughing and saying "tell Alexa to do this" and then I'm just sitting here with my mouth open and her laughing so hard she's crying.
    I'm thinking this lockdown needs to end soon..

    I copied this from another gun board we are on. Thought some here might like it-and yes It was SASS that came up with this.:rolleyes:

    Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

    It's not very hard to get Alexa to cuss. I"ll walk you through a fun set up.
    --You have to have the Alexa app and pair it with your Alexa device.
    --Open the Alexa app, and touch the three lines in the top left corner.
    --You'll see several choices. Touch "Routines".
    --There is a + in the upper right corner. Touch the + to create a new routine.
    --It's very self explanatory from there. You'll name the routine, such as "Intruder Alert".
    --It'll prompt you to fill in "when you say" as Alexa's cue, such as "Alexa, intruder alert."
    --Then you add your actions for what happens when Alexa says whatever. This is the part where you can program Alexa to cuss.
    --To get her to do it, you have to add an apostrophe strategically in your word. For example, to get Alexa to say F&%k, you have to put an apostrophe behind the F. Same thing with an S for S#!t; an apostrophe goes behind the S.
    --You can add a song to start playing after Alexa says whatever, if you'd like.

    Let me know if you have any issues. Enjoy teaching bad things to Alexa.

    UPDATE:
    We have created a monster. I blame all of you for giving her the attention.

    So I'm setting here watching the TV and all of a sudden Alexa shouts," REVEILLE REVEILLE REVEILLE! DROP YER @#$% AND GRAB YER SOCKS!!"

    It would appear she can make Alexa do her bidding whenever via the cell phone

    If it can hear me, it will NOT be electronic. (Good job, Sass. Maybe you'll now have an assistant with controlling Tully.)

    Ok, so I gotta ask, does it swear in a sexy female voice, or is it Gunny Hartman, or something else?

    Can it talk dirty to you,..............................

    And I thought it was bad that my wife did something to my computer where a voice says on log in " You have had yer daily screen time for the day, now F Off Mike." In her voice to boot. Must seek this start up program out and destroy it!!!!
