The coolest thing I’ve heard in a while

We have friends near Houma, LA and it's always a pleasure to be in their company. The first thing I noticed was the men have more of the Cajun accent and the women all sound like they're from New Jersey or New York! And these are people who all grew up in the same town! Nice video. Oh, my Wife is from Ohio and I'm from SC. When we go up there someone usually says “Oh, I like your accent”! I say “Really? Didn't even know I had one – none of my friends at home ever mention it”!
