Why do male computer voices sound gay? Is it their nasal superiority, their stoicism, or their crazy synthesized lisps that make them so?
On today’s show Marc and I recreate two of the most famous computer voices- “Hal” from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey and “Fred,” Apple Computers MacInTalk Speech synthesized voice. We hook them up online with HILARIOUS RESULTS.
See our podcast really will make your iPod go gay.
Listen to the internet’s favorite gay couple as we talk about how computers are being used to write jokes for children (they aren’t that funny so don’t get too excited), guys with two cocks, genetic pre-dispositions to surviving plagues, and whale vomit (and why it’s so valuable.)
Whale vomit? Eeeew. Yes whale vomit.
The podcast that makes your iPod go gay (but from the looks of your playlist, it already was) the Feast of Fools.

August 21, 2007 at 09:51As much as I love this installment. I loved it so much that I made a remix of your voices in the beginning. The thing is, I get this strange feeling I have heard it before…. hm.
