In the old Garmin GPS days, I changed the voice on my wife's to Yoda. She had to drive from Chicago to DC and didn't know how to change it. Surprisingly, I'm still alive.
I had to turn my Aussie voice off. She didn’t understand me. The British one pronounces my street (& others) so strangely, I had to turn her off too. I don’ tink I have da irish option.
I grew up in Galway, on the wesr coast of Ireland (my Bluesky name literally means "Galway love"). My son's voicemail uses a posh Dublin TV presenter accent, and it always makes me laugh.
I used to have my phone set for Irish Siri. But I think it also expected ME to be Irish, because she couldn’t understand half of my queries.
I just wanted an Irish Siri! 😭 I didn’t want to break into my Liam Neeson when I wanted something!
🤣 reminded me yrs ago called Irish friend who worked as a bartender and asked about a mutual friend. She replied, “she comes in when she gets a bit of da tirst on her.”
I just imagine a modern version of you and Ryan driving somewhere giggling the entire way to ridiculous GPS pronunciations. Times have changed and yet the simple things still make good comedy.
