I swear I'm not paranoid

[Sleepy Walker]

But I've noticed with my Galaxy S5 and my Nexus 5x that if I'm talking about something with someone and my phone's across the room within the next 24 hours something related to what I was talking about shows up in Google now.

Has anyone else noticed this?

could it be that you're talking about something current and thats what Google is highlighting for you

No...last night I was telling my friends wife a story about a kid I was mentoring that was blasting Nicki Minaj and Beyonce.

Just minutes ago I happened to look at Google now and it informed me of new singles from both artists. Believe me I don't listen to either one nor do I talk about either other than that story.

This also isn't the first time this has happened. I made a thread on another board a couple of years ago when I first noticed it and of course people made jokes and downplayed what I was saying.

Well Microsoft did tell people not to talk about personal things near their xbox camera so it's likely. You have to remember when apps ask to have access to your mic there's a possibility they're listening

Repeat that, again. This time, a little closer to your phone.
