honest here, OK? How old

1:17

would you say that you dress? You

1:23

can't see he's looking at himself head to toe right now. I

1:26

would say anyone can dress this age. OK,

1:28

so how old would you say that you look? Rough estimate.

1:31

Take a guess. I'd say my age. Your age, which

1:33

is? You want to share? Yeah. OK.

1:35

All right. A

1:38

spry 40 year old man? Yeah. OK, I

1:44

Go ahead, Maria. I'm going to get

1:46

them new jeans. I think I

1:48

dress my age. I'm 27. OK,

1:51

I definitely dress older than my age. I am 36,

1:54

and I feel like I dress like I'm 46, for sure. I

1:56

think Maria dresses older. Older? Really? Yeah.

1:58

Like I'd say 30. Oh,

2:00

you know my

2:02

sister is 32 and we dress the exact same Back

2:08

in 2013, I will did you say you dress

2:10

I said 46. No, you don't

2:12

dress 15

2:17

no, no, no American Eagle hoodie. Come on I

2:19

think it depends on the day because I can come in

2:21

here also looking like a 15 year old some days

2:24

Yeah, I think I have like

2:26

Jim teacher or like dad. Yes

2:30

Totally totally back in 2013. This is what we're talking about

2:34

Mora you had a different answer. You'll see Retro

2:38

2013 Do

2:41

you dress your age do you think yeah What

2:46

do you yeah, do you think

2:48

so Just like

2:50

annoy any normal 28 year old dude Okay

2:56

Because you still like wear ball caps

2:59

and yeah t-shirts with stuff written

3:01

on them Yeah, and you always

3:03

match your sneakers to your shirt

3:05

and my watch like I if

3:07

I didn't know you better I've

3:10

always said I thought that It's

3:12

like when you dress a child when like they wear

3:14

garan animals Man when you

3:16

go to the closet and you're just like

3:19

okay giraffe hat giraffe shirt giraffe shoes There

3:21

we go all separate today and everything matches

3:23

right? What is your app? That's

3:25

the throne to giraffe It

3:29

is interesting though And

3:33

I don't know if I necessarily agree with

3:35

a whereby date when it comes to clothes

3:37

and people Okay, but the

3:39

story says women should stop wearing

3:41

miniskirts at 37 says a survey. Oh I'll

3:47

read it to you here. Just because you've got

3:49

it doesn't mean you should flaunt it a whopping

3:51

two-thirds of women Say

3:53

that most female fashion has a

3:56

whereby date Regardless of

3:58

how great your body looks The

4:00

general consensus among those surveyed. Crop

4:03

tops should be ditched to 34. Mini

4:07

skirts and leggings at 37 and bikinis at 40. Meanwhile

4:12

belly button piercings should be removed by the time you turn 35.

4:15

And long hair should be given a chop

4:17

at 42 to a shorter, more

4:20

mature look. Yo, who are these nerds writing

4:22

this out? I don't know. Because

4:25

all of that is 100% wrong. Ladies,

4:28

if you've got it and you want to rock it.

4:30

I don't know though. You go ahead. Do your damn

4:32

thing. I don't know. I don't know.

4:35

Be proud. I don't know. I don't think it

4:37

has anything to do with being proud. I

4:39

know, but if you've got like some silver legs and

4:41

you want to show that off, then go ahead. We're

4:44

a mini skirt. Who cares? I don't know, dude.

4:46

I'm just saying that sometimes maybe this is the

4:49

right way to go. Sometimes maybe we... The

4:54

problem is that we age and our closet just sits

4:56

there. And then we keep going back to it

4:58

and back to it and back to it and back to it. Yeah. And

5:01

suddenly you're 40 years old wearing a

5:03

mini skirt that you had when you

5:05

were 28. Okay.

5:09

But some women

5:11

are smart enough to realize when they

5:13

should stop. I don't... Maybe

5:16

things don't look the same as they used to.

5:18

But that's the question. Is there a best before

5:20

date on fashion? Like

5:25

I have to look at some of the stuff I own and I'm

5:27

like, God, maybe I should wear

5:29

that. Super tight jeans and stuff like

5:31

that. But I do. Yeah,

5:33

this shirt. But I do. I still wear it

5:35

all. I've purged a lot of stuff from my

5:37

closet because it was just... I

5:40

wore it in my younger days and it's just not me. It's

5:43

just not appropriate for all my mini skirts. Shut

5:45

up. I am over 37, so I

5:47

had to ditch all the mini skirts. But

5:50

is there... I guess that's the question. Is there...

5:53

And are you offended by this in any way?

5:55

Are you 37? Maybe you think women should ditch

5:57

mini skirts. Please. By... I'll

6:00

go through those stats one more time before we open the phone line.

6:02

So is there a where by date? Regardless

6:07

of how good your body looks, that's the big thing

6:09

in here, okay? The general consensus among those surveyed, crop

6:11

top should be ditched to 34. Mini

6:14

skirts and leggings, don't they? Problem

6:16

is with leggings, at 37. So

6:18

no mini skirts after 37, a bikini's at 40.

6:20

If you're over 40, no more bikinis for you.

6:24

Regardless of how your body looks. 416-870-8888.

6:30

Give us a call. Let us know what you think. Yeah. No

6:32

more mini skirts. Shut up. I'm

6:37

Because you are young, Maury. I mean, I

7:13

have young skin. You know what? The

7:15

guys clown on you for your multiple things

7:17

that you put on your face, the squid

7:19

7:21

He always got very clear skin. Like, very,

7:24

very clear skin. No, I'm very impressed with

7:26

my skin. That's one thing that I

7:28

got from someone. It's my skin. Skin

7:31

looks great. Okay, for good skin. Maria, why don't you go

7:33

next? Okay, so I also question

7:35

for the room. Have you ever,

7:37

by accident, left your windows open when it's

7:39

rained? Oh. Well, you got,

7:41

like, car windows? Car windows, yes. No,

7:44

I'm not stupid. Well, clearly, Roz

7:46

and Catherine are because they left

7:48

the roof open of the truck

7:50

and it poured. I

7:52

visited my friend Amanda in Ottawa once and

7:55

we went inside for lunch. She has a

7:57

convertible. PT Cruiser, she's the

7:59

only one. And she left

8:01

the roof down at port. We had to like

8:03

literally shovel out rain. Oh Wait,

8:06

what? Shovel up. Oh like it piled

8:08

up. Yeah, and then use towels and oh

8:12

So, what was this from again Maria 2015? rosin

8:16

mocha retro 2015 So

8:20

that storm yesterday that we had last night I was out

8:22

of it. I was out of the city. Was it terrible

8:24

here, too? Five minutes It

8:27

only lasted like five minutes something like that. So I'm like

8:29

that on it. It rained for like Legit

8:32

10 minutes. Okay, so we that was it. We

8:34

had it For

8:36

like 20 minutes. Yeah, like I'm talking,

8:38

you know the amount of rain. Yeah,

8:40

it's pouring Catherine leaves the

8:42

the roof of the car completely open. Oh,

8:44

no completely open

8:48

Right. Yeah, the cup holders.

8:50

Yeah like level

8:55

Full with water my wallet was in one

8:57

of them. Yeah All

9:00

sorts of weird driving back last night all sorts of stuff that's

9:02

going wrong with the car, too Oh, no,

9:05

I think this because she soaked the car and

9:07

then so we have leather seats and

9:09

of course you do We

9:11

have leather seats and then so Catholic goes I want to where all

9:13

the water went and I'm like You want

9:15

to rubble you didn't leave the water. Does this appear up with

9:18

a seat? So it went through the leather and it's now in

9:20

the sponge and I'm gonna have a big wet ass the whole

9:22

way home Evaporated yeah, so I had

9:24

a big wet ass the whole way home everything

9:26

everything in the car was soaking wet Like

9:29

not even pleasant like just soaking soaking

9:32

wet because that rain yesterday So

9:35

we didn't fight about that I Because

9:50

I've been in arguments with Ross and this

9:52

is what you do like what's Ross argument

9:54

So like if I'm you and Catherine, it

9:57

would be more like you know, what exactly

9:59

was your thing thinking with leaving the

10:01

roof open. No, I don't have to.

10:03

No, more and more and more. First of

10:05

all, there are very

10:08

few people in my life too that I talk

10:10

to like a child. One

10:13

of them is my own child. And

10:16

the other? Not

10:18

Catherine. I

10:21

talk to you the way I talk to my kid.

10:23

Like when my kid does something wrong, I have to

10:25

explain to her why you don't do it because you

10:27

might get hurt. That

10:31

was almost getting hurt. Right?

10:34

I fear the same thing for you, so that's how I

10:37

speak to you. Thank

10:39

you. I'm

10:43

Laura Palmer, host of Island Crime.

10:45

Season 6, Sweethearts, is the story

10:48

of three teenage girls who were

10:50

all murdered in Victoria, Canada within

10:52

about 12 months. So

10:54

she was scared. Something out there scared her.

10:56

She just created the playground where

10:59

predators can really thrive.

11:01

She was a 16-year-old

11:03

girl. She was a

11:05

sweetheart. Listen to Sweethearts

11:07

at frequencypodcastnetwork.com or wherever

11:09

you get podcasts. Mind

11:12

your frequency. I

11:15

would be devastated. That would have been

11:17

a very, very, very quiet car ride

11:19

home between Catherine and Roz because she

11:21

didn't leave the window open. That

11:24

would devastate me. I

11:26

know a bunch of people with Jeeps who've done

11:28

that. I'd

11:30

be crushed. I'd be crushed. I want

11:33

to meet someone with a, what do you

11:35

call it, a G-Wagon. A

11:37

G-Wagon? I want to ride in a G-Wagon. Is that

11:39

a goal? Yeah, that's my goal. Fair enough. Oh,

11:42

okay, good to see you. My

11:44

turn? Yeah. Your

11:46

turn buddy. If anyone else wants to go. No,

11:49

no. I mean, we can't go again. We all

11:51

have Siri still and we

11:53

learned that it's voiced by an actual

11:55

person and Roz and Melka interviewed the

11:58

actual voice of Siri. Cool

12:06

Siri will you be on the razamokha

12:08

show? So

12:13

the it was revealed that the voice of Siri is

12:15

actually a real person and Although

12:17

I don't think apples the apples kind of staying away

12:19

from all this They like to keep the the mystery

12:21

with this kind of stuff going and

12:23

I don't even think that Siri knew

12:26

that she was the voice of Siri. Her

12:28

name is Susan Bennett. Mm-hmm She

12:31

does not look like what you would imagine

12:34

Here he would look like I see

12:36

her Susan Susan you there Welcome

12:39

to the razamokha show kiss 92 5 in

12:41

Toronto. How are you? Hello? And

12:43

mocha when did you realize the

12:46

world right now is just sort of realizing who

12:48

the voice of Siri is when

12:50

did you realize that you were the voice of

12:52

Siri? Oh, I knew it immediately. You did.

12:54

Yes a friend Emailed me

12:56

and said hey, we're playing with playing around with this

12:58

new iPhone. Isn't this you? And

13:01

so I had just bought an iPhone 4

13:03

so I did not run out and get a 4s

13:05

Although my husband did and I listened

13:07

to the voices. Oh Yeah, that's

13:09

me But you didn't know that you when

13:12

you were voicing stuff you didn't know that

13:14

you were going to be Siri, right? Exactly

13:17

Because I the original recordings were done

13:19

in 2005 and I was

13:22

recording for a text-to-speech company

13:25

And I knew that the voice was

13:27

going to be used and manipulated and

13:29

changed for different phone systems

13:32

But at that point in time, I guess

13:34

nobody except for Steve Jobs probably Envision

13:38

that The phone system would

13:40

be in the palm of your hand talking back to

13:42

you So that was a that was a real revelation

13:44

now the first thing that people do as what

13:46

I did And I still

13:48

do with Siri on my iPhone 4s is

13:51

I ask ridiculous questions just to see what

13:53

the answers are, right? what were the combinations

13:56

of words and sentences that you

13:58

had to do for this

14:00

particular project? Like how long were the voice

14:02

sessions and were you weirded out by some

14:04

of the answers that you had to give?

14:07

Well, I think I'm hoping that I had

14:09

saved some of the scripts because I'm realizing

14:11

that a lot of people are interested in

14:13

this. I've heard this question before. I can't

14:16

tell you the exact sentences, but I know

14:18

that I read them four hours a day

14:20

for an entire month in 2005. And

14:23

they were sentences and phrases that were constructed

14:25

to make

14:27

the most combinations of vowels,

14:30

consonants, diphthongs, syllables in the

14:32

English language. So that

14:34

after all those things were recorded, the

14:38

technologists, linguists, brilliant big-brain

14:40

people would go in

14:42

afterwards and extract

14:44

different sounds and then reconstruct

14:47

sentences. That's called concatenation. And

14:50

so that's what you hear. So it's what

14:52

the folks at Apple did after

14:55

the fact to construct any kind

14:57

of possible answers that Siri might

14:59

give to any possible questions that

15:01

you might ask. Now Siri,

15:03

the thing with Siri though is that Siri has

15:06

a personality. You know what I mean? He does.

15:08

He has attitude. A little bit snarky. I've never

15:10

used Siri before. I talked to Siri for the

15:12

first time last night and

15:15

I had never done it. And immediately the first thing that

15:17

came to my mind was Siri, where's the

15:19

best place in Toronto to buy? No,

15:23

you didn't! Not that I'm in the market for

15:25

a second. Are

15:27

you serious? Yeah, and Catherine, my girlfriend looked

15:29

at me and rolled her eyes thinking

15:32

that Siri was going to come back and

15:35

tell me off. But Siri, you actually

15:37

gave me the top 10 places in

15:40

Toronto if I were in the market for the first

15:42

time. I was going to say, yeah, almost one

15:44

near you. And there's one

15:46

near me. So

15:50

with stuff like this, you didn't

15:52

actually say that. It's not your

15:54

personality. But do you, and believe

15:56

me, 10 minutes later, like everybody else is, I was

15:58

like, shut up Siri when I was trying to get her to life. I'll put

16:01

a reminder in my phone. Are

16:04

you a fan of Siri? Like

16:06

the personality behind the technology? Well

16:09

I think it's pretty funny because she does definitely

16:11

have attitude and she has a sense of humor

16:13

and you just never know what she's going to

16:15

say. Many times she just gives

16:17

you a stock answer. I think if you ask her

16:19

for a joke she says the same thing. She says,

16:22

you know, two iPhones go into a bar, I forget

16:24

the rest or something like that. Many

16:26

times she will give you different answers to the same

16:28

question. So I think that's why people have a lot

16:30

of fun with it. I myself have not played with

16:32

it that much because I had just bought an iPhone

16:34

4 when the iPhone 4S

16:36

came out. The way that you

16:39

look, you know, people have in their own mind what Siri

16:41

would look like. Oh I know and I'm sure

16:43

with a huge disappointment everyone was assuming that it

16:45

was, you know, that she

16:47

looked like Sofia Vergara with a neutral

16:49

accent, you know. You don't look

16:51

like Sofia Vergara with a neutral accent. You

16:53

know, you look like my aunt. Yeah, well

16:56

I know that my answer to that is

16:58

well, you know, perhaps you need to just,

17:01

you know, use your imagination.

17:04

You know, this is something that

17:06

we all have. Apple

17:08

has not commented one way or another on this.

17:10

That's sort of their rap. Right.

17:13

That's kind of their modus operandi. You

17:16

know, I think that they are probably

17:18

unhappy with the fact that there's a

17:20

face associated with the original voice of

17:22

Siri. But I

17:25

have nothing but good things to say about Apple because

17:27

I was actually very flattered that

17:29

my voice was chosen because our house is

17:31

full of Apple products. There you go. Susan Bennett,

17:33

the voice of Siri. Thank you very much for being a

17:35

part of the Roza Moca show today. Well thank

17:37

you. Take off, eh? Thanks for the

17:39

tips on. Oh, any time. Take

17:42

care. Can you do your own Siri voice? I bet you can.

17:44

I bet you can. Well ask Miri. Oh,

17:46

Miri? Okay, Miri. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm

17:49

sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

17:52

Miri? Okay, Miri.

17:54

Okay. Hey, Miri. What's

17:56

seven times seven? Boop,

17:58

boop. Figure it out yourself. And

18:01

the sass from Simeeri. From

18:03

Meeri, yes. That's exactly what

18:05

I expected. Amazing. Well, thanks

18:08

everyone for listening to another edition of the

18:10
