Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for July 22, 2017

Siri, can you remind Elliot to do his homework? Oh, wait… that’s DAD’S job

Orange you glad?

Tony asked, about 11 hours ago

Do you use Siri?

No Apple.

I don’t talk to any computers.

No Apple for me, either….

well, I like apples, and apple pie….

but no Apple electronics, so no Siri.

Nor do I have Alexa, or Samsung’s new Bixby.

 

Don’t cry for me, though… I have Cortana and the Google assistant,

and I’m sure more will be popping up.

But I don’t use ANY of them anyway,

 

For one thing, I feel dopey talking to my phone or my computer….

and for another, when I tried them, they were about as talented as Autocorrect at guessing my intent.

And we all know how that goes.

 

Meanwhile…

Peter should NOT need an electronic helper to tell him that anyone who stayed up so late

he’s tired enough to mistake a garage door opener for a phone

SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING A CAR!

With his kid in it, yet.

And setting such a fine example. … Not.

Siri? Only for the Baseball scores

Who is this Siri and why would I use her?

Siri you jest.

I don’t use any of those and I hate when I have to speak to a computer on the phone – I’d rather punch in numbers.

@Tony:

Don’t have any of those, though I’m sure they’d come in handy. Kind of like “voice-activated Google”! But you all won’t need your voice to answer today’s…

Second “Daddy’s Home” Question:

What have you binge-watched, or would like to?
