Speaker 1 (00:00):
On Canberras hit one O four point seven. It's Roden
Gaddy thot.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I went for a walk on the weekend and there
was three no it was cold. Every night. There were
three magpies sitting on the pole above me, in a
light pole. Oh my god, I had a heart attack.
None of them attacked, though, which was nice.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
One of them got me the other day. Fortunately I
had the cap and a hood over because it was
windy and so it was. It was as close to
a helmet as one can be wearing. But it's still
scares the Bejesus out of it.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
How close did it get? Like, did you hear that
as it came past?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
You can pass? He went? He gland, He didn't. He
got on my head.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
He got on your head.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, and he did with the beak. He did the
osia into the top of my head. But I had
enough layers on, but he oh my god. Then he went.
And so then he sat in a tree and I'm
looking at him and I'm like, well this this come on,
We're gonna We're gonna loose. And so he was like, no,
we're not going to do this now that you know
I'm here, And so I continued to walk, but I
took note of where it happened.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
You know, I've never had a Maggie actually like land
on my head and go me.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
He got me if I was if I was capless
and hoodless, hoodless, he would have drawn blood. Absolutely. So
I'm coming back and I'm keeping an eye out. And
this is like in the in the fields of Muhumbatement,
so there's nothing around so you can see what's going on.
(01:26):
I saw the tree, I saw him, he saw me,
and then he flew across the street up into a
big pine tree where he was hard at a spot.
And here we go. This is his move. He hides,
he goes high. But there's they're often a couple, and
I get it. It's his job. He's trying to protect
his eggs.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Do you look like you're going to have a go
with it?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I looked like the unit bomber. I'm like, I've got
the sunglasses on and I got the hood and the
whole thing. He was right, eggs he was. I could
not have looked more suspicious. And so I see him
up there and all right, all right, I've seen you.
And then oh, hang on a second, as you make
right there I'm about to be double teamed here. And
then I'm nervous there that there's a third because you
(02:08):
said your head three times. I said, if these two
are distracting me while there's a third coming from behind,
I'm a dead I'm sitting duck team attack, right, So
it's my concern. So I'm doing this and then this
Who cares what I look like. I'm just nervous that
someone's going to come from behind and almost looking over there.
And then I go past and I'm passed, and I go,
I'm in the clear, and I go, that's what they
(02:29):
want you to think, right, So I'm walking along and
then I keep doing that and I keep just turning around.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Just trying to catch him, liking in red light green lights.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
So I'm way past. Now, I'm way past, and I
do just the quick turnaround for the last second. I
see him come out of the tree and here we go.
This is on right, And so he goes across the road.
I'm down the road and he gets across the road,
he aarcs around and then he's coming at me like
a like a like like a bullet. He is just
(02:58):
and you know you see those photos when they photo.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Of them staring at him.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
So I'm looking at him, going the rule is that
if you see me looking at me, you know me, right,
that's the rule. And I'm looking at him and I go,
you don't shake me, bastard. At the last second, he goes,
and he goes up, and then he sits on the
power line above me. I have not laughed so hard.
(03:23):
It was a laugh of relief where you're just like,
ha ha, I'm in the paddock, but I'm surrounded my
paddocks by myself in the wilderness. Me and and and
a magpie that share common bond now because we shared
a wild experience, and so I think Magpie season's over
(03:43):
is because that's the news. This happened like two weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well, careful on that walk because he's waiting for you.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
That's a good point. I think we share a common bond.
He goes, you are enemy number one. Let's see how
we go.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
This is wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Rapped on camera four point seven. I'm blown away that
we're about to speak with the most well known voice
on the planet.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I think, yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
We've been listening today to the TikTok girl voice. If
you make a TikTok. It says, do you want to
put a voice to this? And you got a choice
of voices, and there's one called Jesse and that's the
one that every second TikTok content creator uses. Hi.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
There, I'm that voice. You're here on every second TikTok video.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And I always thought that was just an AI model,
but it turns out it's a human being behind the AI. Well,
but who's don't add to her voice? We can make
her say anything, which is saying Kat Callahan live from Canada,
good morning and good evening.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Good good morning, and good yes afternoon where I am
good morning to you. You're in the future, I think,
or something I don't, or I'm in the past. I
don't know what's going on, but thank you for having
me on.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I can hear a little bit of the TikTok voice.
But when you were a pro to donate your voice,
it sounds very sci fi. Do you adjusted it a
little bit? Did you from your normal speaking tone?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yes, And that's exactly what they were looking for. Was
very happy read. But then times time, you know, because
like a happy read when you're doing voice work, is
you know, this is really happy. But then it was like, no,
we need it happier, and like, does anyone even want
to hear that? And so it turned into the one
that sounds like this that we all know.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yes, that's the one.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
There's Jesse right there.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
One.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
How do you feel hearing your voice with anyone anywhere
in the world can make you say anything? And I'm
sure some things are thoroughly outrageous. But are there times
that you go that wasn't the right time to use
my voice?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Oh? Certainly, certainly there has been times. And I remember
when it first was out on social and people were
using it, and this is before I even told people
it was me. But sometimes I come across ones and
I'm thinking there's a few options at the time for voices,
but they just be like, you know, my uncle died,
we went to go visit his grave site.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I've seen.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Surely there's a more somber voice in there somewhere.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
You've got to be one.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
But I love your voice. But You're absolutely right, they're
trying to commemorate someone or a moment and they just
go to the Jesse voice. And I like it as
a broadcast that I hasn't quite mastered it. However, when
you hear you do you got Oh, I wouldn't have
really said it like that, Come on, I I catch up.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, I mean absolutely, it's it is frustrating, but at
the same time, it's been kind of cool because I've
had companies reach out to me being like, can you
do the voice? But can you do it like right?
Like can you see this correctly? Can you fix our
company name? Can you say like that? I'm like, yeah,
we can work together. So in a weird way, I've
been like, okay with it, And much to your point
(06:54):
about being a broadcaster, I'm like, I don't want it
to be like sound like quite like a person. I'm
okay with it.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Not something like that. That's a good point.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Only people, right, only people in personalities can do that
and should do that. But I feel like we're going
closer and closer to a place where it's going to
be it's going to be kind of harder right to
figure out what is real and what isn't.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It's a good point in regard to the voices that
we do deal with on our day to day that
a lot of them did start as humans before they
took on their own I guess persona are are you
mates with the real life Siri and the real life
Google Maps girl. And do you know any of these
other voice artists?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
We all live together in one place. No, I do
actually know some. So the original voice of Siri, the
woman who voice that, and if you heard her voice,
you wouldn't recognize it. Her name is Susan Bennett, and
she's a sweetheart of a woman. And we have actually
had the opportunity to chat and meet a lot of
(07:54):
these people, though what you may not realize, are not
allowed to say anything. I do know the voice of
elect I will not say, but if you do enough
research you can find out she actually can't even confirm it,
but everybody who knows her knows. But the reason why
a lot of these companies don't want you to say
anything is because it does humanize it and they don't
want that. They don't want people to know that there's
(08:15):
people behind it. So I mean, I have my own
ways to make sure that I could do that that
was important to me. But yeah, there's definitely a lot
of humans behind it, and I have had the chance
to connect with some of them, which has been really.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I'm teat talk will be waiting for us in the
car park, nervous to speak to you. Thank you so
much for your time. I know you are so busy.
And the congratulations on this tremendous success. I don't know
whether or not TikTok was, you know, the dominant beast
it was when you first signed up to this, but
this has evolved into something rather extraordinary. The most famous
voice on the planet Cat Callahan, thank you so much
(08:48):
for the time today. Look forward to seeing you visit
us in Australia.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yes, I look forward to the visit. I'll come say
hi at the studio. Oh yeah, Jesse co host, There
you go. I won't irritate you at all.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
This is wrong, Gabby rats on camera even though you're
a camping girl and I produced a Chelsea in camping
last weekend, I'm not No, I'm not a camping So
what's this next bit?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
All that?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Well? I got an email and we get a lot
of pr emails all the time for different people who
want to spook their different things.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Is this from the boating, camping, fishing people.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
No, surprisingly, I'm sure we do get those as well.
But this one caught my eye because the title was
camping as therapy and then it says New research commissioned
by Arcmate reveals two in five Australians go camping to
film karma, more balanced, to switch off from screens, notifications
(09:42):
and constant demands of work and life, and over half
spend meaningful time with loved ones and two thirds simply
reconnect with nature. It's like that all sounds lovely, right,
Maybe that's the answer. Maybe I need to go off
the grid, go camping and reconnect with nature and get
off my socials. And thinking about it then started to
(10:04):
stress me out because where am I going to shower?
Where am I going to go to the toilet? Do I
think you take a shovel?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, absolutely not. You skip just putting the tent tap.
There's nothing relaxing about any of them.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
And the blow up mattress going down halfway through the night,
getting you end up lying on the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Get involved on the way in, all the way out
at some point. No, no, it's not for everybody. Produced
Chelsea's a big camping girl and went to camping in
the Gong, which is a city, so I suppose there's
camping areas around there. So that was last weekend produced Chelsea.
How many times do you need to go camping before.
It is ultimately relaxing, because if you don't know what
you're doing, you're setting yourself up the fury.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I think I've been doing it since I was a
little girl with my family, so to me, it's just normally.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Oh, I love doing it because you know how to
do it.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
The ultimate question is, though, are you camping where you're
disconnecting from social media or are you still using it
while camping.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
I'm still using social media, yeah, but definitely sometimes I'm
with Bota phones and sometimes the recession doesn't great point
so not by choice, not by choice, but yeah, definitely
off the work emails?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And are you camping where there are facilities or do
you have to create your own?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Sometimes on the weekend it was with facilities, but majority
of the time in Wa on the beach, no facilities.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
It sounds idealistic, but I'm gonna I'm going to side
with you on this one. Gabby. That is a recipe
for you. Put an email out to people and tell
them don't do it. All right, I will, I'll reply
all good, that's balanced.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
This is wrong.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Gabby rapped on camera four point seven. I have been
accused of being in the mood, and I stopped and
I booked to myself and I've gone you might be
you know what I mean. And sometimes you look at
youself and you know, I'm just having a date. But
it also might be everyone else. So well, a single gabby,
(11:54):
a great self awareness.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Time will tell might bait might be because you maine
a really annoy mood or are you just in a
really irritable mood?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
See that sort of question.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I'm in the middle again.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
So let's see how we go here, because you've brought
something that could unite us all as a nation and
the city as the capital, not just the of the country,
but of roundabouts. Oh yes, okay, no one knows roundabouts
better than Canberra drivers. True, because there are more roundabouts
per capita here than anywhere else perhaps in the world.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Yes, no, there is a lot here.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
So why roundabouts making.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
The news today? Well, roundabouts are making the news not
in Australia but in America in a town called West Hartford, Connecticut.
And this is the first ever roundabout this town has
ever gotten. So roundabouts a new a new thing in America,
a new thing in Connecticut.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
As can bearans, as Ossie is, we need to mentally
reset because this is the terrifying thing when you drive
in America. Everything's in reverse.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
On the roads.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yes, right, okay, so remember our rules always give way
to the right.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
There's would be give way to the left, there would.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Be give way to the left, and of course we
always go clockwise round and roundabout. They would go anti klopp.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Oh that is confused.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh you pull up it around, but you're on the
other side of the road. So one thing naturally leads
to the other. And the first rule is just follow
the person in front and hope that they're not a psycho.
So this place has never even seen around it. No,
people who've traveled outside this state would have seen around about.
But small town USA, there are people who are born
(13:28):
and raised they haven't seen around about.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Yes, so as you can see in this video. But
for the listeners, their roundabouts are quite flat, so not
the ones with like a garden bed in the middle
of it or anything. And drivers were driving straight over it,
not even acknowledging that the roundabout was there. So they've
had to put these orange bollards up around the roundabout
(13:53):
so people stop driving over them. Okay, and now there's
this video that you can describe what's going on of
Americans driving around this roundabout.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
And so there's journalists down there and he's reviewing an
NBC journalist reviewing the big news that there's a roundabout
in town.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Oh, someone's trying to make a left. So there is
education with this. You can't make a left. Roundabouts are
relatively new in Connecticut.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Could be an Aussie instinctively going the wrong way round
the roundabout. However, think about that. We get a round
about for the first time you pull up there. Instead
of going left, which is the way you would go,
someone goes right. Gee, these people really have never seen
a round about.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Instead of going around the roundabout to turn right, they've
just gone right.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Okay, there's more.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I don't know what else could happen, but that is
basically what traffic engineers are up against. Even with the barrels,
someone still trying to make a left and round about. Hmmm.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
It seems like a few of them know what's going on,
but yeah, they've.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Set themselves up for failure straight out of the gate.
You know how we sometimes have a roundabout that might
have a garden bet or whatever in the middle, or
it's quite raised, but then it's kind of it splays out,
and it's quite flat, almost as flat as the road,
and a lot of us will just we'll cut that,
just touch it. Yes, we'll cut right over it. I
mean it's ridiculous. Just do build the full roundabout what
(15:17):
you're laying.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
It's each other again.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Advice for life
On Canberras hit one O four point seven. It's Roden

you hear you do you got Oh, I wouldn't have
really said it like that, Come on, I I catch up.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, I mean absolutely, it's it is frustrating, but at
the same time, it's been kind of cool because I've
had companies reach out to me being like, can you
do the voice? But can you do it like right?
Like can you see this correctly? Can you fix our
company name? Can you say like that? I'm like, yeah,
we can work together. So in a weird way, I've
been like, okay with it, And much to your point
(06:54):
about being a broadcaster, I'm like, I don't want it
to be like sound like quite like a person. I'm
okay with it.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Not something like that. That's a good point.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Only people, right, only people in personalities can do that
and should do that. But I feel like we're going
closer and closer to a place where it's going to
be it's going to be kind of harder right to
figure out what is real and what isn't.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It's a good point in regard to the voices that
we do deal with on our day to day that
a lot of them did start as humans before they
took on their own I guess persona are are you
mates with the real life Siri and the real life
Google Maps girl. And do you know any of these
other voice artists?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
We all live together in one place. No, I do
actually know some. So the original voice of Siri, the
woman who voice that, and if you heard her voice,
you wouldn't recognize it. Her name is Susan Bennett, and
she's a sweetheart of a woman. And we have actually
had the opportunity to chat and meet a lot of
(07:54):
these people, though what you may not realize, are not
allowed to say anything. I do know the voice of
elect I will not say, but if you do enough
research you can find out she actually can't even confirm it,
but everybody who knows her knows. But the reason why
a lot of these companies don't want you to say
anything is because it does humanize it and they don't
want that. They don't want people to know that there's
(08:15):
people behind it. So I mean, I have my own
ways to make sure that I could do that that
was important to me. But yeah, there's definitely a lot
of humans behind it, and I have had the chance
to connect with some of them, which has been really.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I'm teat talk will be waiting for us in the
car park, nervous to speak to you. Thank you so
much for your time. I know you are so busy.
And the congratulations on this tremendous success. I don't know
whether or not TikTok was, you know, the dominant beast
it was when you first signed up to this, but
this has evolved into something rather extraordinary. The most famous
voice on the planet Cat Callahan, thank you so much
(08:48):
for the time today. Look forward to seeing you visit
us in Australia.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yes, I look forward to the visit. I'll come say
hi at the studio. Oh yeah, Jesse co host, There
you go. I won't irritate you at all.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
This is wrong, Gabby rats on camera even though you're
a camping girl and I produced a Chelsea in camping
last weekend, I'm not No, I'm not a camping So
what's this next bit?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
All that?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Well? I got an email and we get a lot
of pr emails all the time for different people who
want to spook their different things.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Is this from the boating, camping, fishing people.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
No, surprisingly, I'm sure we do get those as well.
But this one caught my eye because the title was
camping as therapy and then it says New research commissioned
by Arcmate reveals two in five Australians go camping to
film karma, more balanced, to switch off from screens, notifications
(09:42):
and constant demands of work and life, and over half
spend meaningful time with loved ones and two thirds simply
reconnect with nature. It's like that all sounds lovely, right,
Maybe that's the answer. Maybe I need to go off
the grid, go camping and reconnect with nature and get
off my socials. And thinking about it then started to
(10:04):
stress me out because where am I going to shower?
Where am I going to go to the toilet? Do I
think you take a shovel?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, absolutely not. You skip just putting the tent tap.
There's nothing relaxing about any of them.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
And the blow up mattress going down halfway through the night,
getting you end up lying on the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Get involved on the way in, all the way out
at some point. No, no, it's not for everybody. Produced
Chelsea's a big camping girl and went to camping in
the Gong, which is a city, so I suppose there's
camping areas around there. So that was last weekend produced Chelsea.
How many times do you need to go camping before.
It is ultimately relaxing, because if you don't know what
you're doing, you're setting yourself up the fury.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I think I've been doing it since I was a
little girl with my family, so to me, it's just normally.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Oh, I love doing it because you know how to
do it.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
The ultimate question is, though, are you camping where you're
disconnecting from social media or are you still using it
while camping.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
I'm still using social media, yeah, but definitely sometimes I'm
with Bota phones and sometimes the recession doesn't great point
so not by choice, not by choice, but yeah, definitely
off the work emails?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And are you camping where there are facilities or do
you have to create your own?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Sometimes on the weekend it was with facilities, but majority
of the time in Wa on the beach, no facilities.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
It sounds idealistic, but I'm gonna I'm going to side
with you on this one. Gabby. That is a recipe
for you. Put an email out to people and tell
them don't do it. All right, I will, I'll reply
all good, that's balanced.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
This is wrong.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Gabby rapped on camera four point seven. I have been
accused of being in the mood, and I stopped and
I booked to myself and I've gone you might be
you know what I mean. And sometimes you look at
youself and you know, I'm just having a date. But
it also might be everyone else. So well, a single gabby,
(11:54):
a great self awareness.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Time will tell might bait might be because you maine
a really annoy mood or are you just in a
really irritable mood?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
See that sort of question.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I'm in the middle again.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
So let's see how we go here, because you've brought
something that could unite us all as a nation and
the city as the capital, not just the of the country,
but of roundabouts. Oh yes, okay, no one knows roundabouts
better than Canberra drivers. True, because there are more roundabouts
per capita here than anywhere else perhaps in the world.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Yes, no, there is a lot here.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
So why roundabouts making.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
The news today? Well, roundabouts are making the news not
in Australia but in America in a town called West Hartford, Connecticut.
And this is the first ever roundabout this town has
ever gotten. So roundabouts a new a new thing in America,
a new thing in Connecticut.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
As can bearans, as Ossie is, we need to mentally
reset because this is the terrifying thing when you drive
in America. Everything's in reverse.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
On the roads.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yes, right, okay, so remember our rules always give way
to the right.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
There's would be give way to the left, there would.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Be give way to the left, and of course we
always go clockwise round and roundabout. They would go anti klopp.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Oh that is confused.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh you pull up it around, but you're on the
other side of the road. So one thing naturally leads
to the other. And the first rule is just follow
the person in front and hope that they're not a psycho.
So this place has never even seen around it. No,
people who've traveled outside this state would have seen around about.
But small town USA, there are people who are born
(13:28):
and raised they haven't seen around about.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Yes, so as you can see in this video. But
for the listeners, their roundabouts are quite flat, so not
the ones with like a garden bed in the middle
of it or anything. And drivers were driving straight over it,
not even acknowledging that the roundabout was there. So they've
had to put these orange bollards up around the roundabout
(13:53):
so people stop driving over them. Okay, and now there's
this video that you can describe what's going on of
Americans driving around this roundabout.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
And so there's journalists down there and he's reviewing an
NBC journalist reviewing the big news that there's a roundabout
in town.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Oh, someone's trying to make a left. So there is
education with this. You can't make a left. Roundabouts are
relatively new in Connecticut.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Could be an Aussie instinctively going the wrong way round
the roundabout. However, think about that. We get a round
about for the first time you pull up there. Instead
of going left, which is the way you would go,
someone goes right. Gee, these people really have never seen
a round about.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Instead of going around the roundabout to turn right, they've
just gone right.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Okay, there's more.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I don't know what else could happen, but that is
basically what traffic engineers are up against. Even with the barrels,
someone still trying to make a left and round about. Hmmm.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
It seems like a few of them know what's going on,
but yeah, they've.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Set themselves up for failure straight out of the gate.
You know how we sometimes have a roundabout that might
have a garden bet or whatever in the middle, or
it's quite raised, but then it's kind of it splays out,
and it's quite flat, almost as flat as the road,
and a lot of us will just we'll cut that,
just touch it. Yes, we'll cut right over it. I
mean it's ridiculous. Just do build the full roundabout what
(15:17):
you're laying.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
It's each other again.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
