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

This sort of reminds me of my experience with Quebecois French. That shit gets pretty wild the further north you go, and I can barely understand Montrealers

Not too dissimilar. It rapidly devolves into "What in the utter fuck?!" in both cases.
