 I won't use any voice assistant, because I reckon the Big Brother companies of the Internet world, would try to record you at every opportunity, even if you do have microphones switched off. I reckon it would take very little to activate a switched off microphone.

No takers?     It's Werner Klemperer, who played Colonel Klink on Hogan's Heroes, on the condition that he was made to look like a bumbling fool. Klemperer is Jewish and was a holocaust survivor

He's been dead for 25 years! No wonder I didn't recognise him!

It's Neil Diamond. I was very fond of his songs when I was younger.

The poor bugger has had Parkinsons since 2018, it's gradually slowing him down. But they say you die with Parkinsons, rarely from it. Loss of balance and falls are the greatest risk, especially with advanced age.
