. . . For listening to news/podcasts with a bonus if it lets me talk to it and take notes (or asks weather or whatever) in the shower.”

For my daughter. (How about a scarf or something?)

Don’t know where to begin and proper wording to do a search.

Thanks for any help any of you tech experts can send my way.

How freaking long do you take in there doing your business anyway?
Simply wait till you are crowning, 3 pushes, scrub and a flush. No time for chit chat.

We were in a hotel not that long ago and I noticed that the bathroom mirror had a BT symbol on it. I had no effing idea WTH it could be for. There were no instructions. But I figured out that I could pair it with my phone and before you know it Aerosmith was blasting through the bathroom. I assume it's to listen to stuff while you shower, but I never went beyond the "gee whiz" stage of it all.

Pour some sugar on me?
 
Why do you say that? It's a legit (funny) question for my man. Squeeze and scoot! No time for talking.
There's no crying in baseball!!! :)
Quietest room in the house and all our man really wants is to make it a little more comfortable and increase his productivity.

You're telling him to remain in the fray until he's about to shit himself and demanding he push it and risk giving himself a roid & get back to the battle.

Before I retired my routine was to go through all my morning and overnight work email while doing my morning business. I bet people had no idea my email was coming directly from atop my toilet to their desks. 😄

I set my chat status to "away" to avoid real time interaction while I go through email and answer the time sensitive stuff.

During COVID we did a lot of telework (which I personally dislike) and I did a bunch of virtual hiring interviews of candidates while sitting at my home office desk in a shirt, tie and coat, and a pair of shorts. They couldn’t see that part. 😉

I'm still working remote 95% of the time. Shorts in the summer, pajama bottoms/lounge pants in the winter.

Have to love the solid, practical advice you can count on here.

Yeah, should have known. Thought I might get just a little bit of assistance. I’ve had no luck finding something that meets her needs. I thought she just wanted something for the counter in a bathroom. From her request it sounds like something she’s seen. My bride sent a text: “Who makes this?”

Her response, “I don’t know. Ask Dad.”

As if I’d fvcking know.

I use a Google mini. You connect it to your Wifi network, and then if you phone is also connected to the network, you can stream through the mini speaker. Can also talk to it, etc. It's cheap and easy to set up. We have five of them in my house.

Alright. Thank you. I’ll check this out now.

All KC fines rescinded. No future fines to be allowed. You are free.

Now get back here and coach these Hoosiers to our rightful glory. We’re counting on you.

I'm too busy investigating these "drones" in NJ. Might take years to unwind the twisted layers of deception here.

Re scarf, can I interest you in an oversized cashmere wrap?

I learned a long time ago that buying clothes for women is dangerous business. I think burgundy/maroon/wine sweaters/blouses/jackets look great on women who are blonde.

“When the hell are you going to learn I hate this color on me?”

I don't think there is any special bathroom / waterproof smart speaker. Could be wrong. There are Bluetooth waterproof speakers, but they aren't smart speakers.

She trying to put this thing in the shower with her?

Mayorkas says we’re all just confusing these things with drones you can buy at convenience stores.

Yeah, cause I’m always looking at the Ford Explorer-size drones in various colors on the shelf whenever I stop in to buy a Pepsi.
