And yet another:

   say --voice='?' | perl -lane 'my $v = $F[0]; system("say -v $v \"Hi $ENV{'USER'}\"")'

Or just stay in the shell...

   for voice in `say --voice="?" | awk '{print $1}'`; do say -v $voice "Hello $USER, I'm $voice"; done

What are the odds that I see this quote twice on one day for the first time ever?

It happens as often as you should be able to predict it. This usually indicates a limited access to relevant data rather than some kind of exotic mechanism.
