Can You … Stream Netflix?

Go ahead and try … we’ll wait. If you concentrate really hard, are you able to stream Netflix? Maybe Hulu? No? You aren’t able to stream either of them, no matter how many times you go to yoga or how many smoothies you drink.

Can You … Magically Control Things With Your Voice?
