Oh yeah...I've listened several times. I get caught up reading the closed captioning and forget to look at the pictures, lol. I love it when the caption says "He's gone full Scottish and I can't keep up"....

So funny, and I had to read the subtitles!

In my former life I was in the U.S. Army and had an opportunity to visit a site where Scottish soldiers were stationed in Germany, A British Major and I conducted an inspection and I asked one soldier a question about his responsibilities. He replied in English, I'm sure, but I'll be doggoned if I understood a single word. The British Major saw my confusion, laughed and was my interpreter the rest of the day.

'A bendy pool cue'....🤣🤣🤣⛳
I first started to watch it with volume off and just reading subtitles but it loses a lot on translation.
So funny. Thanks Pam

God help me if I have to ask a Scot for directions. Does Google Translate work on Scottish?

Just as good the next day.
I will admit that I was worried when going to Newfoundland that I wouldn't be able to understand the locals. Thankfully, there was only 1 fellow....the security guard at the grocery store. Unfortunately, he was giving me driving directions. I think his ancestors came from Scotland.

you're all really having trouble understanding him? Seemed to flow well to me, but he's not keen on old stuff.... lotsa beaches mind

Hahaha, Nigel! Can you translate the part where "he's gone full on Scottish?" as the CC flaked out then.

I think that was a bit of a cop out. He wasn't hard to hear but he did get exceedingly fast. I didn't take notes but I remember a beach ball I think....

Edit = the Youtube app is working again so I can see it on a big screen. No beach balls in the Full Scottish. Its a pun. A convoluted pun. He's talking about sausages, scrambled eggs, eggs in a roll, sausage in a roll... You've heard of the Full English breakfast, heart attack on a plate. North of the border it is the Full Scottish...

(oh and pinwheels - wind turbines for electric power generation (what are they called in the US?)

Oh, is that what he meant by pinwheels? And yes, "wind turbines" here in the Inland Northwest along the Idaho/Washington border.

Wind Turbines.

I have struck the wee ball with the bendy pool cue into the wee hole, 18 times if I remember rightly, at Troon Municipal. I recommend the Darly Course if you want one of those links courses with blind shots, heather and gorse, and pot bunkers. You could also hit the wee ball at Turnberry, outside Ayr, now owned by a soon-to-be ex-President of the USA.

And Culzean Castle, (pronounced Cullane), the last castle shown atop a rock looking over the sea, is worth a stop. Its really a country estate, part of the National Trust. Use of it was granted to Dwight Eisenhower by Great Britain in thanks for his war service, for whenever he fancied to exercise his bendy pool cues on the Scottish links. There is a palm tree growing in the outdoor botanical garden, if anyone asks if palm trees grow in Scotland.
