Haven't watched this video, but it was debunked million times that it's not possible with current technology.
OP experienced confirmation bias, a common illusion of the human brain. Google scan emails, a lot of ways they could knew about this, not via the microphone.

Funny enough tho I searched for a guillotine when Bezos overrode the WaPo to send a message in the logs but have yet to see any ads for them.
Just an anomaly I’m sure.

Meanwhile, Twitch, a company owned by Amazon, gives me ads for things that I'm not even interested in. I mean, they totally fail at targeted advertising. I got an ad for the VA yesterday, which is fine, but it can't be targeted at me because I'm not a veteran. The military wouldn't even let me in because I have asthma. Never change, Twitch.
