to be a crossover at No.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
See, Blake Shelton to me is not twangy. Blake, no
really not no.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
But like Timmo Gron, Kenny Chesney used to be incredibly
twain used to be, but aren't anymore.

Shelton talk on the voice, he is not twangy. But
like Willie Nelson, he's got some twins. Yes, you know what,
that's a good one. That's a good one. He didn't
sell out, is Dolly. See, but you know what, you

Speaker 1 (01:50):
But to me, it's like to me, Kristin, isn't twangy
maybe like like like like Midwest hick?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I think is is more accurately saying that because she
used that word I am, I am, I wouldn't have
used it if not. But that's I don't mean it
as a slur. It's not a bad thing. No, what
about that what she just said?

A twangy listener?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Eight six to Elliott eight six six two three five
five four six eight. Here's why I need it. So
they just did a whole study and they wanted to
find out what voice is. And then I'll tell you
what the study was for. But what voices accomplish? Two
things cut through and get listened to, Because you could
(05:25):
say somebody cuts through if they just raise their volume,
but they may not be listened to. Twangy cuts through
and gets listened to. And I won't bore you with
how they did all this test, this testing, but they
want to be able to say, in an emergency situation.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Nope, Kristen, it's a matter of national importance.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I needed to get on a mic. Hey, y'all, I'm
here at the Oval office. No.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
No, but they're saying, like like people on airplanes, people
like in horrible accidents and stuff, if there is like
a or or you know, like like God forbid, there's
something like in a like God only knows what right. Yes,
say yes, y'all gonna hear a tone now, but they're
(06:24):
saying instead of So then they did it with like sirens.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And and and.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
And ambient traffic noise and people and stuff. And they
did several tests and they it goes twangy women first,
twangy men second. Yes, but they were saying a lot
of times people will just raise your voice and start
talking with some.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Aggressiveness, like where and people don't hear it. Number one.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
All you're doing is everything is elevated to get louder.
You're stressing me out, and I'm not hearing anything. I'm
just hearing like, ah, so you're not here like the
stand the guy the Kinnison sound alike who yells stand
up for cancercer.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
But you're saying, or they're saying that at Dollywood everyone
hears everything.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Oh yeah, if a massive fire breaks out at Dollywood
and she y'all need to move to the front tables.
That everybody's fine, So now you'll get on a plane
that God forbid we're losing altitude.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Hey, y'all, put on your mask. Does a twainy voice
have to use slang? What do you mean, like, hey, y'all? Yeah, no, no,
because but we all we do is hick them.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
The descriptors say it's sharp and often nasal. When you're
talking about how you describe somebody's twiny voice.

like words that I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
My old remix from Danville used to say own instead
of on. I'd be like, what are you saying own

They said that like through like especially like in in
in like serious situations, like they want they want to
be able to have like pilots and and people who
would deal with like issues on an airplane, to train
them to speak with a twang, so that that way
people on the planes. Number one will hear them and
(11:24):
be able to react to it.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
And it's probably and it's not alarmist or alarming, Diane.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
If we are like screening, it's alarming when they come
on and they go y'all, hey.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Y'all, why do you keep making it slang?
Speaker 3 (11:39):

were under our roof.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Hi, Elliott the morning. Hello, Hello, this is a good
start though. Hell yeah, there you are, ma'am.

is Twain.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
No, you're a good spokesperson.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Do you think you would be good at delivering direction
in case of an emergency?
Speaker 11 (14:19):
I don't think they. I don't think so I don't
think they'd understand me.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
See, that's where you're wrong. That's where you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And and I'm going to go back to what Tyler
said when he said, like eaes, I'd like to keep
her number on hold because if there is a natural
disaster or something that we need, I don't want Diana
have to deliver that.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Nobody will listen. I need her. Hey, y'all, it's part
of it that you are paying more attention because it
may be a little more difficult to understand.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Or are you paying more attention because it's sweet and comforting.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I bet it's harder to understand.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
Yeah, well, I'm gone do like the drive through and
ordered food, and you know I have to repeat it.
I've asked for a ladders and somebody thought I said
I wanted a ladder. They don't understand when I talk
about putting paints on. They're like well water paints.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Oh you know, so it takes a special gentleman to
get me out of my paint paints.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
By the way, what was.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
The first thing you ordered? Because I thought it was
a ladder? What is the first thing you ordered?
Speaker 6 (15:30):
No?
Speaker 11 (15:30):
So well, Actually, my girlfriend's from Seneca Rox West Virginia
and she's not with me. But yeah, people have a
hard time understanding her. We basically we speak corn bread.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I've heard that. That's so good.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Can you tell me again when you went through the
drive through?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
What did you order? Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
God, you know what that was?
Speaker 11 (15:57):
I don't even remember. It was a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Was she saying light? Oh? She said water?
Speaker 9 (16:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I thought, she said later, I thought you said ladder water.
Speaker 11 (16:08):
Yeah, no I did, I was.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I was.
Speaker 11 (16:10):
Actually one time I was at work and I asked
somebody for a ladder and they thought that I said
a ladder, and I was like, no, a lighter that
you make, you know.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Fire with a.
Speaker 11 (16:21):
Yeah, that's the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
You are Twain City.
Speaker 11 (16:30):
So yeah, when I go down home, it gets worked.
When I come back, it's a lot worse.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Where is where do you disappear to? Where is home?
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Way back down in the mountains, like where Virginia starts.
That's where I'm from.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You ain't got paint, we ain't got we ain't got shure.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
So in a moment of crisis and your life is
on the line, this is what you want.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
That's what you're telling me. Uh huh To best serve
the community. Here come the fire truck. I hope they
brought a big ladder.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Now it's water man, all right, very good. Hey, hold
on one second, let me get you a shirt. You're good,
Hold on one second. That may be our spokesperson, I.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Think the best one that cuts through the noise the
most so far. When the alarm starts going off, that's
who we're calling. But if somebody calls who Kristen can understand,
then we know there's a clear winner. Hi, Elliott the morning,

twangy voice?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Dolly Parton.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Okay, all right, somebody else. That's a great that's a
great answer. By the way, who's the male version of
the Dolly Parton?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Blake Shelton Every country start before they realized they wanted
to be a crossover at No.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
See, Blake Shelton to me is not twangy. Blake, no
really not no.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
But like Timmo Gron, Kenny Chesney used to be incredibly
twain used to be, but aren't anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Right, So like now, like if you you hear Blake
Shelton talk on the voice, he is not twangy. But
like Willie Nelson, he's got some twins. Yes, you know what,
that's a good one. That's a good one. He didn't
sell out, is Dolly. See, but you know what, you
know what sucks like because I don't. I don't just
(00:58):
equate like somebody who has a country accent with being twangy.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Is Kristin twangy to you? No?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Oh, okay, no, you would think you think Kristen's twangy.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Sometimes just I realize there's somewhere she says, yeah, have
a little bit of.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
A Christen, turn yourself on for a second.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
A note to them, Am I am I wrong on
what my definition of twangy is?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
What is your definition? I don't know. That's like, that's
the problem. Well Kristin talking, Let's.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
See, Well, I wouldn't say I'm twangy. I would say
I'm like country hick.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
See.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
But I don't even think you're that.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
When I go home, right, I try to be careful
when I come back because everyone back home has a
twang or act like.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Ah ac see.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
But to me, it's like to me, Kristin, isn't twangy
maybe like like like like Midwest hick?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I think is is more accurately saying that because she
used that word I am, I am, I wouldn't have
used it if not. But that's I don't mean it
as a slur. It's not a bad thing. No, what
about that what she just said?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
It's not a bad thing?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Is that twangy a little bit?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (02:14):
That tick?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I consider twang like country?
Speaker 6 (02:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
See? But you know what, like I don't I just
talk twangy and not just sing twangy? Right?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Okay, so but does Eddy if can you be twangy
and not be from the South.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yes, where.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Maybe like Montana, Okay, maybe from.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's Okay Oklahoma.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Miranda Lambert, she's got a twang.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I don't know Miranda Lambert's voice well enough I know
her singing voice. I don't know. I don't like I
don't hear her talking to me. You just see her
but cheeks the yes, the no. But you know what
I mean, like like, for example, like a lot of
singers and stuff, I hear them singing but not talking.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Uh. You hear Dolly talk a lot? Yeah? No, stand
up to cancer? That's right? Clip Ever, don't I don't
even who is that voice? Sam Kinnison? Uh?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
His death way predates any cancer? Any stand up to cancer?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Isn't it the announcer from the s Night Show? Oh
is it? I think?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Do you have cancer? Oh? I think that's his voice.
But Dolly goes, come on down. We can all get
together and help defeat cancer. She says, I wait for
it every.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Time caitser Christ say cancer cancer.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But can we think of an example that's not like
you said? A singer?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Do we have a listener? Is there any do we
have any?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yes, where's pork? But is he a singer, Yes, no singers.
Is Hoby a singer? Hobby is Hoby twangy? Yes? Hoby?
Hoby is a chemist?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Hoby Aaron and Barlow Barlow.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
She gets it a little sometimes. How is that twangy? Y'all?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
The sing y'all is not twangy? No, but you know
what I mean, Like, that's not that's not.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Twangy to me from rail Christen is twangy as hell?
Will you will you find me a twangy listener? Please?
A twangy listener?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Eight six to Elliott eight six six two three five
five four six eight. Here's why I need it. So
they just did a whole study and they wanted to
find out what voice is. And then I'll tell you
what the study was for. But what voices accomplish? Two
things cut through and get listened to, Because you could
(05:25):
say somebody cuts through if they just raise their volume,
but they may not be listened to. Twangy cuts through
and gets listened to. And I won't bore you with
how they did all this test, this testing, but they
want to be able to say, in an emergency situation.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Nope, Kristen, it's a matter of national importance.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I needed to get on a mic. Hey, y'all, I'm
here at the Oval office. No.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
No, but they're saying, like like people on airplanes, people
like in horrible accidents and stuff, if there is like
a or or you know, like like God forbid, there's
something like in a like God only knows what right. Yes,
say yes, y'all gonna hear a tone now, but they're
(06:24):
saying instead of So then they did it with like sirens.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And and and.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
And ambient traffic noise and people and stuff. And they
did several tests and they it goes twangy women first,
twangy men second. Yes, but they were saying a lot
of times people will just raise your voice and start
talking with some.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Aggressiveness, like where and people don't hear it. Number one.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
All you're doing is everything is elevated to get louder.
You're stressing me out, and I'm not hearing anything. I'm
just hearing like, ah, so you're not here like the
stand the guy the Kinnison sound alike who yells stand
up for cancercer.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
But you're saying, or they're saying that at Dollywood everyone
hears everything.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Oh yeah, if a massive fire breaks out at Dollywood
and she y'all need to move to the front tables.
That everybody's fine, So now you'll get on a plane
that God forbid we're losing altitude.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Hey, y'all, put on your mask. Does a twainy voice
have to use slang? What do you mean, like, hey, y'all? Yeah, no, no,
because but we all we do is hick them.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
The descriptors say it's sharp and often nasal. When you're
talking about how you describe somebody's twiny voice.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Then I'm gonna lean more in the yes column for
Kristen nasal.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I don't know that I hear nasal? Yes, Diane and Kristen,
you do? Is is Dolly?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You point at Chris? I was like, not look behind me,
don't laugh at that one of you. I'm not Diane
is You know what what did Diane just do? She
walked into the kitchen, she.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Grabbed that big spoon and she found a vada poo.
It just started stirning and around. No, no, but like
is Dolly nasal?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Uh see you can lean that way. She can be
Willie's nasal? Yeah, yes, whistling.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I was gonna say his nose, he's nasally and nose whistling.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Ye see. No, that's not no, that's not Willy. That's
not will. It is high. I think he's slung yogurt. No, Hi,

See so my buddy, he's from Jersey. He's got a
Jersey accent. And I'm grew up in Oklahoma, born and raised.
Everybody always asks me where are you from? You're from
the South somewhere, because there's some things that I say
that are like, there's some things that I say that
people are like, holy crap.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Hey, so let me let everybody's panicking and everybody's upset.
Let me hear you say, the house is on fire,
but let's exit out the rear door.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
The house is on fire, but let's exit out the
rear door.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Fire.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
See.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I kind of like, can't I have a question at
the end.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
The thing that the thing that always gets me is oil.
I'm sorry people.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Oil oil oil. Oh oh, like this old house.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Like like motor oil oil. See. I have to really
concentrate and say that oil.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
No, that's the correct way, by the way.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, listen, I'm I'm sure Jackie's family from Texas has
like words that I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
My old remix from Danville used to say own instead
of on. I'd be like, what are you saying own
own an olf? Yeah, well that's okay, but that's dialect.
That's dialect.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
All right. Hey, thank you Dwang, Thank you, sir. Hey,
what about you? What do you do in Ohio?
Speaker 1 (10:34):

Speaker 7 (10:35):
My bad?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I hit the button. Yes, Tyler from Instagram. Finally, a
non musical artist has come in as an example, and
it's a good one. Oh, this will be good. Yes,
go ahead, Michael Waltrip. That's a restricter play perfect.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yes, imagine in a crisis. In a crisis, that's what
you want.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
To hear, Michael, take off your headphones. Take it to
the next step.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
They said that like through like especially like in in
in like serious situations, like they want they want to
be able to have like pilots and and people who
would deal with like issues on an airplane, to train
them to speak with a twang, so that that way
people on the planes. Number one will hear them and
(11:24):
be able to react to it.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
And it's probably and it's not alarmist or alarming, Diane.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
If we are like screening, it's alarming when they come
on and they go y'all, hey.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Y'all, why do you keep making it slang?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Everyone, we done dropped about ten thousand feet just now.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I'm alarmed, ladies and gentlemen, We're losing altitude.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
Michael Line five, Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (12:07):
This is Ian.
Speaker 10 (12:07):
We're I work at a Jimmy John's out in Atlanta.
We listened to they all like every morning. I appreciate
that until we open. Yeah, no problem. But yeah, yeah,
you're talking about like twang invoices and all and and
as I say, it's like normal out here.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Every every customer we get.
Speaker 10 (12:25):
Like an hour north of Atlanta sounds straight out of Appalachia.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
But you know what, you don't sound twangy to me now,
not at all.
Speaker 9 (12:36):
I'm actually from Aurora.
Speaker 10 (12:37):
I'm from Aurora, Colorado.
Speaker 9 (12:39):
Oh yeah, happened to be here.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Right, No, but you have no twang in Colorado? I bet.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I mean, I'm sure there are people in Colorado. Who
have there are people everywhere who have a twang.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
Oh yeah, there's there's farmers and country people everywhere.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, but you don't, you don't, you don't have it?
All right, very good, very good, Thank you me John's
thank you, sir.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
So far we haven't found that spokesperson yet, No, we haven't.
We haven't right now.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I feel like we searched the whole country, but they
were under our roof.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Hi, Elliott the morning. Hello, Hello, this is a good
start though. Hell yeah, there you are, ma'am.
Speaker 11 (13:28):
Oh yeah, hell on, sorry, give me just a second, okay.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Hello, Oh yeah, Hi? Who's this? Hi? I'm Vallery and
where are you from?
Speaker 11 (13:41):
So I'm from southwest Virginia. I'm from Lee County, where Virginia, Tennessee,
and Kentucky all come together in the Cumberland Gap.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Oh yes you are. Cumberland Gap is twanged. Right there
you go.
Speaker 11 (14:00):
Now I get I get made fun of all the time.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
So right by the way, this is Twain. Yes, this
is Twain.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
No, you're a good spokesperson.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Do you think you would be good at delivering direction
in case of an emergency?
Speaker 11 (14:19):
I don't think they. I don't think so I don't
think they'd understand me.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
See, that's where you're wrong. That's where you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And and I'm going to go back to what Tyler
said when he said, like eaes, I'd like to keep
her number on hold because if there is a natural
disaster or something that we need, I don't want Diana
have to deliver that.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Nobody will listen. I need her. Hey, y'all, it's part
of it that you are paying more attention because it
may be a little more difficult to understand.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Or are you paying more attention because it's sweet and comforting.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I bet it's harder to understand.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
Yeah, well, I'm gone do like the drive through and
ordered food, and you know I have to repeat it.
I've asked for a ladders and somebody thought I said
I wanted a ladder. They don't understand when I talk
about putting paints on. They're like well water paints.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Oh you know, so it takes a special gentleman to
get me out of my paint paints.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
By the way, what was.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
The first thing you ordered? Because I thought it was
a ladder? What is the first thing you ordered?
Speaker 6 (15:30):
No?
Speaker 11 (15:30):
So well, Actually, my girlfriend's from Seneca Rox West Virginia
and she's not with me. But yeah, people have a
hard time understanding her. We basically we speak corn bread.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I've heard that. That's so good.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Can you tell me again when you went through the
drive through?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
What did you order? Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
God, you know what that was?
Speaker 11 (15:57):
I don't even remember. It was a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Was she saying light? Oh? She said water?
Speaker 9 (16:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I thought, she said later, I thought you said ladder water.
Speaker 11 (16:08):
Yeah, no I did, I was.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I was.
Speaker 11 (16:10):
Actually one time I was at work and I asked
somebody for a ladder and they thought that I said
a ladder, and I was like, no, a lighter that
you make, you know.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Fire with a.
Speaker 11 (16:21):
Yeah, that's the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
You are Twain City.
Speaker 11 (16:30):
So yeah, when I go down home, it gets worked.
When I come back, it's a lot worse.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Where is where do you disappear to? Where is home?
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Way back down in the mountains, like where Virginia starts.
That's where I'm from.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You ain't got paint, we ain't got we ain't got shure.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
So in a moment of crisis and your life is
on the line, this is what you want.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
That's what you're telling me. Uh huh To best serve
the community. Here come the fire truck. I hope they
brought a big ladder.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Now it's water man, all right, very good. Hey, hold
on one second, let me get you a shirt. You're good,
Hold on one second. That may be our spokesperson, I.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Think the best one that cuts through the noise the
most so far. When the alarm starts going off, that's
who we're calling. But if somebody calls who Kristen can understand,
then we know there's a clear winner. Hi, Elliott the morning,
Good morning morning. Who is this.

Wait, so does that put all those guys in there
like Foxworthy?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I mean, Larry's a character. That's true. That that's that's fair.
That's not his real voice. But fox Worthy definitely is nasally.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yes, Megan with a suggestion of Reba you know what.

actress than singer. Now still a singer, yeah, but she's
she's definitely.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Nasal, Multifaceted's to me. She's a judge. That's a good one.
