What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWelcome back. Amazon is promoting a wearable AI that, the company says, can recall everything you hear, so you never forget a thing.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith us from an undisclosed wellness retreat is life coach Sorrel Vandermeer-Oyo. Thanks for being here. Is this a gadget or a manifestation issue?

  3. Sorrel Vandermeer-OyoHank, it's a manifestation issue. You attract what you remember, and the universe forgets nothing. Well, it forgets parking, but nothing else.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo who is the witness? The device hears it, but the company keeps it, and a witness with a shipping address is still a witness.

  5. Sorrel Vandermeer-OyoMemory is abundance, Hank. I hold my best moments in this jade egg, and I also keep three devices that record my day.

  6. Sorrel Vandermeer-OyoWhich is purely spiritual.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThree devices.

  8. Sorrel Vandermeer-OyoFor gratitude. And, universe forgets nothing, so it also remembers I once told a whole dinner party that I was a licensed dolphin therapist.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBut you didn't answer the question. If this thing remembers every party, who gets to play the dolphin dinner back, you or Amazon?

  10. Sorrel Vandermeer-OyoThe universe forgets nothing, Hank, and it also bills nothing.

  11. Sorrel Vandermeer-OyoEventually the universe ships it in two days with free delivery, and I'm making peace with that.

  12. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorComing up later, which actor did Kevin Pollak call the craziest he ever worked with? We'll find out.

  13. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Sorrel. I'll be at the desk, unrecorded, which I'm told is now a luxury feature.
