Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Fitting in with Kate Richie podcast. Happened again.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I want to talk to you guys about foreign accent syndrome.
It sounds you love this stuff, I know.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Do you know the Christy Do you know the meat
Life story?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
No?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
When high school he didn't have a voice at all.
And in high school he walked across the shop put pit. Yeah,
that's somebody threw a shot put into his head and
knocked him out. When he woke up, he had his voice.
You joke, No, he woke up. Happened to this.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
I got hit by a twelve pounds shot at sixty
two feet, but I didn't nearly die.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
In fact, it didn't even knock me out. I could
not sing a knock before I got hit in the
head with the sharp.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
But you are not true swear to gain.

Speaker 5 (00:43):
And then just before I got hit, I got hit
in the left boob by a softball.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Right, all it did, All it.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
Did was make me go ha ha, all right, that's
where you got your vocals from, which was a better
performance than Meat Life at the A. In fact, I would,
oh my god, I would have paid batmobile year.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
That was angry and Anderson, hang on, we've got it
here meet life.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
Oh my god, I wish I'd had another shot for
j Black at him at that stay.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
I would have paid to see your breast thing before
I paid to see that.

Speaker 6 (01:29):
Foreign accent. Syndrome can happen, and often it's from an
aneurysm that you might have or some sort of rare
brain condition. Quite often it'll be an incident where you
find yourself in hospital, a comatoseed, and then you wake
up and you don't sound anything like you did before.
It's happened to a bloke in the US and he's

(01:49):
woken up and I don't have audio for you, but
his accent.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
He's from Utah.

Speaker 6 (01:53):
His accent is now British, so he sounds as though
he's British.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
So I know you don't believe me, Ryan James.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
And that's why we always revert to our friend who
is British as well. Now, she had an incident where
she had an aneurysm.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
She woke up.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
She's an english woman and all of a sudden, she
sounds like she's Chinese.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Now what does that sound like?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, she's gonna ash, well I won't. I won't do
it because I haven't had the brain issue, but.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
You could have a guy.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
I mean, it feels wrong to have a go and
I would never do that on live radio. He's her
trying to say the word battery.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
But butter, butter, buttery, butey, buttery, charger, but charier.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
So you can see there's a little bit, little bit
of a role there. She goes on to the talg
about the restaurant she could work.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
It was until I was in ambulance on the way
to the hospitally say are you aware of the way
us speaking? And I say, oh, I sound like a
and she said, no, you sound like you can work
at a Chinese restaurant.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
There's something untoward about this?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Is it because you.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Would like to get it when you're about sixty or seventy.
Wouldn't it be fun to have for at.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Least ten years of your life?

Speaker 3 (03:09):
You cannot take her seriously. I'm sorry. And if it's
an actual condition, and I think.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Her trying to book a table at a Chinese restaurant,
they'd hang up the phone immediately. But she can also
sing happy birthday.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Ha de do deha da de do dea dadi do
dadi how di dahati do.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
Do oh, okay, so that's made up. I've got a
couple of questions, go ahead. One does this explain Alec
Baldwin's wife, Hilaria also known as Hilary from you know, Chigan,
suddenly saying things like how you'll say cucumber in Oh, it.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
Could because there was another British woman that sounded French?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
What she had a stroke? Does she do that as
a joke, chrisy or no?

Speaker 5 (03:59):
You must watch the series. Yes, And she's called all
her kids like Spanish names, even though she grew up
in like Boston.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
That's weird.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
If you could have a stroke or an aneurysm or
something and wake up with any sort of accent, what
would it be Japanese?

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Would you?

Speaker 5 (04:16):
What would that sound like? We Oh, so you're speaking Japanese?
You can no longer speak.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
English, the language of French. When I want to be.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
Like, you know, one of those angry Russians, I've got
this fantastic Russian seamstress down the road and she, like
you know, takes up my boys shorts and all that.
She's so angry all the time, and it's so refreshing
to see someone so honestly angry and even When she's happy,

(04:52):
she sounds mad. I would like that. I would be like,
you know, even if I'm just saying, what's for dinner,
I like to sound angry about what would that sound
like Christmas?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
She's throwing it to me.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
I'm throwing get back to you.
