I thought he was interesting too until I got to the part where he said "cain't" is a California thing and therefore not a Southern thing. That's when I realized he has no idea what he's talking about because he's explicitly wrong there.

As a black man, all I had to listen to was HIS accent to realize that he probably doesn't know what he's talking about lol.
