once in a lifetime a product so revolutionary
so unlike anything we've ever seen before
gets released and today it's my privilege
to introduce to you big mouth billy bass the speaking
sensation now with amazon alexa
thermaltakes a500 has a modern minimalist design with brushed aluminum
panels and dual hinge swing tempered glass doors check it out today at the
link in the video description
come on in close come on in close let's have some fun this truly is
as Jake put it a marvel of modern engineering so this is big mouth billy
bass who you might remember from such television shows as
big mouth billy bass the infomercial and big mouth philly bass the other
infomercial lip syncs to the spoken responses of
alexa that is so cool dances to the beat of amazon music reacts to alexa timers
notifications and alarms has a realistic appearance okay we'll be the judge of
that and includes power adapter so in this box you will find
a usb cable uh it's a micro b oh no type
c no type c disc you know what return it forget it yeah we should return it
yeah i'm not going to throw it it actually looks pretty fragile so there's a battery uh
door on the back here you got some oh you got a stab you got
your mounting options here you got your two mountain holes here which you can
just throw up you know i mean let's face it
you've got a big mouth billy bass in your rec room you don't mind putting a
couple holes in your wallet this will be on the wall of the new
employee lounge not negotiable not negotia it's alexa
naval david not negotiable david the
crazy thing about this thing is that it's not even expensive yeah it's like
40 bucks yeah something like that which is less than an echo dot yeah so let's
go ahead and plug that there buddy in there
oh loud mouth billy battle big mouth excuse me loud mouth big mouth
he's a nice guy you're you are something you or something else i don't know about
this realistic appearance i think it's okay for what we paid
my life just hanging around
and they ain't
i don't know
oh wow this is great
in the instructions which looked you know pretty complete
they've got a lot of filler here so first there's the important note then
there's the note not to be confused with the important note
then there's the caution then there's the warning
then there's the if using batteries instead of adapter please follow the
instructions put batteries in
they'll in the in the most verbose possible times the batteries in they've
got the lyrics of the song it sings no way
oh my gosh that's the actual instruction so this if this looked overwhelming
don't worry big mouth billy bass fans you can handle this
oh so it's not a fish-shaped echo dot i was
even more excited about this when i thought that it was a stand-alone
amazon alexa enabled smart device so you could basically just put a big mouth
billy bass in every room of your house and have alexa everywhere
but unfortunately that is not the case so it actually synchronizes with
your existing echo now in setup mode oh okay follow
the instructions in your alexa app okay add alexa add device hey james
will be there
i swear the old big mouth billy bass did more than one song am i wrong i don't
know
that's its realistic look james you're just confusing the realistic look for a
message it feels kind of weird you know like it kind of looks sticky yeah
hey alexa what's the weather like currently in surrey it's three degrees
celsius with clear skies and sun today
you can expect partly sunny weather with a high of five degrees and a low of
minus five degrees and you only ordered one of these
i know right play monster cat
well what you can't just play monster it's a record label on amazon
so basically you just have like a fish out of water on your wall
whenever music is playing that's a bad kitty
what even is this i don't know hey alexa that swap
hey alexa start a 15 second timer
15 seconds starting now okay so we need
to get a notification too should i try message you or something after after the
timer wait wait
what why would anybody want this
i don't know but i also want it so much we need to get a couple more of these i
think hey alexa are there any games you can play
here are three of the most popular games and trivia skills first is the speak the
room i put this behind me in a room it's up to you he's not even reacting
search oh yeah and solve puzzles to find your way out
so he only does some stuff no
the next one is question of the day now he starts trivia
every day question of the day poses a new challenging question for you to
respond to from arts and entertainment to literature and science do you want to
enable it yes welcome to question of the day
interesting so it's only like top level menus
no question correctly and earn points oh and if you would like for me to repeat a
question just say repeat the question here is your first question of the day
the topic is history it is worth four points in what year did american
president franklin d roosevelt declare that december 7th would be a date that
will live in infamy you can choose from 1917 1939
1941 or 1945
39 41 41
1941 sorry but i did not understand your response dang it in what year did
american president 1941 wait it's working now would be a date that
will just be a little glitchy you can choose from 1917.
i know right 1941.
that's right oh you have earned your first history badge in four points so
all that's left now then just to see what's inside is for us to
gut poor billy here and see what makes him tick
so what do we got here we've got uh is it just one
motor that drives both the tail and the
head how does that work okay so this motor probably drives the tail i guess
okay so first of all so here's our power switch so that's just going over to the
motherboard here then we've got our speaker which is going off the
motherboard here we've got our uh front button
right there that little doodad right there we've got power to our battery holder so
that's right there you can see the bluetooth antenna there too then we've got other more different power coming in
from our uh micro b uh what do you see oh yeah there right
there there's our bluetooth antenna
and that's probably then our bluetooth chipset there's got to be another thing in there
i mean we can pull this foam out not really actually what is this
just like why is there foam it's like kind of like a silicone kind of
feeling oh uh what does this just pop
off this part of the fish i think
come on billy oh he's probably got a separate motor for the mouth too wow that's quite good
oh yeah that's what it's for yeah so it's just one so this one's for the
mouth so yeah the whole body is just how
do you use i mean i'm sure we're gonna have everyone in the comments telling us what
very simple eight-point uh helical
idiots we are but uh yeah so just uses this one motor
here for the head and the tail action
oh that was somewhat anticlimactic
does big mouth billy bass with amazon alexa integration really
need to do more than dance around on your wall to your music and then mouth
along with alexa sometimes probably not
so then i guess that's where we leave it with a song
that feels good
