Need tech help for a “Bluetooth-enabled smart bathroom speaker . . .

[Univee2]

. . . 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.

You must live a miserable existence...

Or you live alone.

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.

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!!!

Pour some sugar on me?

Pour some sugar on me?

That's my least favorite Aerosmith song.

They're just not themselves in that one.

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.

By the way, I told my Deputy about my efficiency in the morning and he said I was sending dirty emails.

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

Love when you’re getting financial advice and later learn it’s from someone not even remotely connected to the financial industry

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.

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.

I guess. But this Google Home mini can go on a wall close by so I’m guessing it should fit the bill.

I've spoken about this before, and your post made me think of it again. My Poor 2nd daughter (35f btw), is short just like her mother. Not midget short, she 2" too tall for that. But she has trouble pooping. She'll go to the crapper and simply set for 2 hours. I've always been like "WTF" do you do that, just do dishes, read a book, solve world peace, when you have a Turtle head pokin through, go set down and get it done.
The funny part, she's so short (and her mother has this issue also) that her feet don't touch the floor. Daily she sets there, only because "I've always done it this way" and "I'm so got damn stuborn that I will not change anything, no matter what other way may work, NO MATTER. You can't tell me"!!!!
Anyway, her (and her mother also does this) feet go to sleep while she's on the shitter because they are too short for them to reach the floor. They poop with their feet just hanging there dangling in the air. WILL NOT CHANGE HER PROCESS to poop. So she sets there for 2 hours (Total purgatory to me!) makes a little turd, wipes (probably about 13 times knowing her, and wads the paper instead of folding, efficiently!), stands up and falls on her face.
I thought that she would get over it by 7 yrs old, NOPE. Raising daughters, Sometimes you just gotta shake your head and pick them up off the floor, bare assed............ but they've locked the bath room door again, and forgot that the last 3,379 days (she's 36 yrs old) that you (dad) installed the door knob and know how to unlock it.

Oh her poor husband. His only hope is that at 36 yrs old, she still drive to my house to poop. Its a 26minute drive. .... My father would never have put up with this shi.......... (ok I meant that pun).
Someone please explain this to Alhoa, I am sure that he won't understand it. OUT

It’s part of my morning routine. Ask it the weather, use it to set alarms, play music, and if you have two or more, you can use them as an intercom system

Buy her a squatty potty

Okay, stop it.

I couldn’t hear any of that. My knees and one shoulder are too loud in the morning.

Wait, I thought that I was supposed to still be out looking for you.

You are killing this whole story line. Get back in the hole damnit.
