Not only is this again a sign of them being on the edge of healthy creativity, but they&amp;#x27;re also the only show that just has all episodes for free to watch.&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#x27;s a documentary on how they make each show &amp;quot;a la carte&amp;quot; each week, and never missed its deadline except once, but it&amp;#x27;s often been a close call of just a few minutes.&lt;p&gt;Edit: &amp;quot;6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=gQ-Un8JjUwo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=gQ-Un8JjUwo&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

You presume no one else has access to the device because it is physically locked in your house, but sound travels through walls and through speakers. Heck, you can even make a window pane into a speaker with some simple gear.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s no big deal when the worst case scenario is being served up a search result you don&amp;#x27;t need or listening to a song you didn&amp;#x27;t request, but you definitely wouldn&amp;#x27;t want to link voice recognition tech up to anything non-reversible like a stock trade or the lock on your front door.</text></comment>
