Conversation cleary monitored and not sure how

Isn't it possible that the recipient of your email forwarded the email to someone? Maybe some of your quotes or other content you sent was worth sharing on FB, and your email got copied along?
 
There's dozens of simple explanations for this that do not involve your phone "listening" to a spoken conversation.
 
I mentioned Taco Bell to my wife about an hour ago and am now seeing ads on my FB feed. The only app that had microphone access was Instagram Edits, so we can narrow it down to just that. Makes sense that I'm seeing it in the Meta platform as well. Total scumbags, the lot of them.

Artificial Stupidity. You mention Thing, so suddenly you get a bunch of ads for Thing, which you clearly already have awareness of, so the ads seem not only superfluous, but also obvious evidence of being monitored. If you mention Thing in conversation, a sensible algorithm would look at the ad base and say, "he might not be aware of Other Thing, which is also one of our advertisers, so we should feed him ads for that."

I'd just be happy if they stopped going full surveillance and monitoring my every word in my private home. Surely I checked a box somewhere that says "sure, go ahead" buried in some obscure language 10 pages deep in their ToS but I don't fucking want it. You would think you could press charges for this sort of thing.

That said, I know the exact source for the first time but the reality is I need to remember to turn these services off when I'm done using them.
 
Had a conversation with my wife about Bill Belichick and his 20 something year old girlfriend, telling her there's no way she's physically attracted to that guy and we had a good laugh. Then 2 hours later I got several videos of older men and younger women on TikTok. BTW something I never looked up online, it was just a quick chat in passing.

I know exactly where this conversation took place and checked every device in earshot, mics are turned off on all Apple devices, in this case I have an iPad, Macbook Pro and iPhone and I again confirmed each device as well. The only other thing is an Amazon Echo but it's on constant mute and is only ever unmuted if we need to ask it something then re-muted again. It's like my house is being bugged.

Apple TV remote?
You only use the MacBook for FacetTime/Video chats? Me, I have both a Logitech headset as well as an Anker 2k Webcam (which has stereo mics) connected to my Mac - so MacOS can definitely be spying all of the time. (as can the two Apple Home Hubs - AppleTVs).

Do you trust the mute for Echo? It’s mute not deaf

This is why I’m not piling on despite being curious, I have a good suspicion from the context so far, but I’ll leave it at that.

I can at least report that it has nothing to do with bigfoot so there's that.
