We just wanted a report on Spotify Wrapped. Siri had other plans.

Our producer Alex Cheng, who is also a comedian, was trying to bring us a report on Spotify Wrapped, the yearly listening retrospective Spotify releases to its users every December — but then Siri woke up on his phone.

We still aired the segment, though. Sorry, Alex.
