[@marywood8794]

@@charlesfu3726 I've noticed that when Kevin isn't performing in Scotland, he purposely tries to soften his accent. I'm from the U.S., but watch a lot of U.K. and Irish stuff and sometimes I find it hard to get everything that Kevin says, even though I've become accustomed to the accents. I did get what Kevin was saying here but it's probably because I was concentrating, knowing that I might miss part of what he said.

[@alicemestria4373]

I’m actually impressed John picked it up the second time around 😂 I only understood it while reading the comments! But I love that they keep their accents and don’t try to tone it down!

No one from Canada (or the US) says “Calgary Alberta,” we just say “Calgary.” Adding the province/state name is not an American thing unless there is likelihood of confusion.

And...they werent shooting in Calgary but up in the Canadian Rockies. Kananaskis country. Higher elevation=colder.
