Just when you think you have Americans worked out....
One comes along sounding like a Goober and talking perfect sense.😷

This gentleman rocks.
PS: Seems like an Aussie making cracks about sounding like a Goober is the pot calling the kettle black.

Or, in this case, to hear oursels as others hear us.

@Mamapolo2016 I stand guilty as charged of judging his accent, and look and the fact the whole thing was done from the drivers seat of a pick up. But I cant fault his logic one bit.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Weird truth is, a pickup truck (looks like a crew cab, too, wow) can cost more than a Mercedes these days.
I knew a guy from Georgia who was quite the wheeler-dealer and most of the time, when he was emptying the pockets of the client he was talking to, he sounded like a Goober. When he wasn't, he sounded like a Harvard law professor.
And, I love the Aussie accent. It just doesn't say "Rhodes Scholar" to me. I'm sure mine doesn't either.

@Mamapolo2016 Like American accents, Australian ones also vary. The Steve Irwin would be your "Goober" equivalent, with Paul (Dundee ) Hogan a little more educated, and Hugh Jackman next, with San Neale and Russell Crowe. (Both actually Kiwis next.)
And I did pick up on a rewatching that the "pick up" wasnt. More like an RV. Differences of accent dont really carry much weight here. The population is a lot more mobile and blends with travel. Plus 15 to 20% have "real" foreign accents and they are still Australians. Its all "same same".😷
