    Alllllll Right my dudes, so I have a Samsung note 9 and I went digging and I have some great news!💯🔥.....I found the answer for Android.....I'm so stoked. Here's what I did. I swiped left on my home screen to access my Google now news feed. In the upper right corner I tapped my user icon and it opened up my Google account page. From there I hit settings and went to Google assistant. In here you scroll down and hit Routines. Inside Routines go to the top and click the new plus sign icon to create a new routine. Then hit the add starter box and then the microphone option. In there you can type whatever you want and when you say ' hey Google' what's the card? .....for example, she will say what you typed. You can customize the language as well. I chose a sexy Australian voice and it's perfect. You can also create a short cut on the home screen but I'll stick with the voice prompt. It's not as good as the Siri settings but hey, we can now do this baby.
    Comment me if you have questions 🤙🤜🤛

    I practiced an performed in a few places just because I could. Actually had a few drinks bought for me. The biggest problem I had was getting over simplicity. I always felt that what I was doing was to simple to fool people, but it wasn’t. Banter was a huge part, but confidence was key. I just had to believe, and they would too. It was truly amazing. Wish I had kept up with it. Quitter never win.

    Hi Chris been a big fan of yours for about 5 years ish now. You do some great stuff and watching your videos helps me with stress and anxiety helps me relax and wind down on a night time always look forward to s new video from you each week. keep up the excellent videos Ive shared your channel with many other people I know. One of my friends brought me one of your packs of cards the v2 black ones. Wish I could afford to buy all the other sets you have out but having a young child makes it hard at the moment. But please keep up the excellent content you post and hope you have a great future in what you do

  • @BrooksMoses
    @BrooksMoses 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey, Chris, that was great. I saw what you did with the card under the box ... but only because videos have a rewind, so when I wondered, "How long has that been there?" I could go see. And when I saw, I thought it was an intentional flash for humor value (like after you "blew away" the card) because it was so obvious. Needless to say, I completely missed it when you first did it. Well done!

    Chris, This is a pretty cool Idea it seems like you can incorporate this if you would like multiple outs example Knock… Message 1 your card is Ace of clubs or cough your card is the King of spades. Etc.. too bad they don’t have 52 separate triggers that you can use with a mneumonica stack for example 50 (6 of clubs in Mneumonica) could be triggered by action 3, etc.. we just need more sounds and memory of a sound stack 😂

    Hey Chris over a long while of viewing your videos and wanting many of the puzzles and cards you try and feature, I wanted to go shopping for myself and others , but realized i had to sort through the videos and individually track down each one , I think you there could be an amazing opportunity to start your own personal website, partnered with the creators of each product so people like me can gaze , and shop / compare all these amazing puzzles to widgets and prices, at one place. Linked with a TH-cam video of you celebrating it , a picture, and maybe an affiliate link of some sort or what ever makes the most sense to by with.
    I think everyone could benefit from this , you , me the long time viewer/ buyer/ and of course the creator of these products. Cheers ! Just and idea , love your latest voice overs and sound editing choices btw 👌, keep up the good work 👏

    That’s why we never saw the inside of the box, with the nanobot, 3 jars of paint and some paintbrushes. Was there also a nano-cup of coffee in the box?
    And, as a bonus, the nanobot doesn’t even call you names!
