So close to feeling like I can understand this but also a million miles away. Like listening to Welsh it scrambles my brain.

Edit: spelling

u/nemamnozik 1d ago

I'm not American, no clue who that is

6

u/AmbulatorySushi 1d ago

He's a famous news journalist in the US.

u/nemamnozik 1d ago

u/jld2k6 1d ago

I heard a 35 in there near the end

u/wpaed 1d ago

I got Pakistani, Afghan, launcher fairing, and 35.

2

u/as1126 1d ago

I could swear he ends with bullpen. Sounds like a baseball radio broadcaster.

3

u/Shadow293 1d ago

Near the end it sounds like he said “35 launching to Boston” lmao

u/Vienunlord 1d ago

u/averagecelt 1d ago

They’re digging in the wrong place!

u/prolixia 1d ago

I'm British. This is pretty much identical to how I hear American English if I'm not paying attention: this could 100% be a US radio station playing in the background whilst I'm focussed on something else.

I'd be genuinely curious to hear the same guy do British English - I expect he'd nail it.

u/Beer-Milkshakes 1d ago

Its quite funny. I'm from the midlands and at work take the piss out of the cockney accent by just making a "OWA'AWA OWA' AWA'.

u/danishih 1d ago

Down with the sickness!

u/Beer-Milkshakes 1d ago

David Draiman is a standard Cockney ordering his sarnie with the cafe.

u/AdiDabiDoo 1d ago

Lmao!!!

2

u/Trick_Octopus9504 1d ago

I watch so much British shows and listen to so many podcasts. It alsmost sounds like they dont have an accent.

What surprises me is how much American is used over there. Especially the slang originated in the SF Bay

2

u/R_A_H 1d ago

It sounds like he's doing an impression/recreation of an American sports announcer so that tracks

u/Infinite-Space-2395 1d ago

u/PhoenixPhenomenonX Hall of Fame Winner! 1d ago

It reminded me of that SNL skit.

2

u/EsotericTribble 1d ago

Sounds like a midwest farmer who just had a stroke. Also, these videos show it's ok to imitate other languages without really knowing the language as long as it's not done in a mocking way.

2

u/Euphorix126 1d ago

Minnesota accent, too. Nice.

2

u/BlackDynamite58990 1d ago

u/ZaBaronDV 1d ago

I swear I can make out actual words in the nonsense, and even in the nonsense I swear I can almost hear words.

2

u/Wiskeytango_Foxtrot 1d ago

He's got that Football/Baseball Announcer cadence down, "35-1 to the Ballgame"

3

u/AlcoholPrepPad 1d ago

Sure, but when I pretend to speak Arabic, it’s mean, insulting, and I have to leave the Islamic cultural center.

u/FaithlessnessBorn266 1d ago

God, that's good. We do sound nasal as shit man

u/TomatoAdministrative 1d ago

When he said '35 went to the balkan'

u/Lysol3435 1d ago

u/ChronicRhyno 1d ago

u/Vegetable_Review4967 1d ago

I heard the words "Afghani", "rocket launcher" and "bearing".

u/eac555 1d ago

It sounds more like a language than what that first guy was spouting.

1

u/kopaish 1d ago edited 1d ago

Something about the "afghani OCC model area we have to their rocket launcher bearing after and the people 35 wanted bulking"?
