Buy an older pixel and install Graphene
Keep it off/in a faraday bag at all times, never turn it on at home. Go to elsewhere to set it up.

Graphene should obviate this by disabling Google Play services by default anyway.
You should leave your regular phone at home, go to another place, power on your other device, speak your part in public, then travel another location and power off. This provides no consistent start or end location to work with for a particular device.
