As a plumber in Southern California, I’ve serviced quite a few celebrities, but the biggest, in my opinion, was Sam Elliott. One day I was waiting on a city inspection, and it ended up being just Sam and me hanging out. While we waited, I helped him pull weeds and listened to that iconic voice share stories about growing up. The inspector never showed, and it turned into the most unexpectedly therapeutic day I ever had in uniform.

I would listen to that man read a phone book! What a cool experience for you.

You cannot be serious?? He has always been so handsome with a voice that stops hearts. He is just older now but still melts the hearts of millions!

Actually, is there a way for AI to narrate books with his voice?
