I asked Alexa(http://amzn.to/2hvrdtZ) to set a reminder for 1 second
The reminder: ‘bark Alexa set a reminder for 1 second.’

This repeats….

If you say Alexa first then Alexa will begin listening for intents while you are trying to set the reminder phrase.
Adding the random word, could be any word that isn’t a keyword, word keeps the intent listener from getting triggered while setting the reminder phrase.
