I could understand mmmmmaaaaayyyybe like 70% (if we're being generous, and we are, aren't we?) of what the dude in that video was saying.

Regional accents can be really hard for me to understand sometimes, but I still love hearing them. The "standard American" accent and RP get so boring

He's got a weird accent.

In Newfoundland you've got two types of people. Baymen and Townies. Just means whether you're from a rural, small town/village or you're from the capital City that is called St. John's. His accent is very Baymen, so thick and very Newfie. But he's speaking too clearly and enunciating too well. He's clearly someone who spends a lot of time in Town (What we call St. John's) or outside of Newfoundland. So if you are struggling to understand that then you would have a stroke if you ended up where I'm from. A town of 200 people... Our accent is brutal. I do voice stuff so I'm used to turning it on and off randomly. It's fun confusing Americans in group chats lol
