Hey, what's up! I'm Gavin, and this is a standard American English accent!
...and people saying, "well why am I gonna... I might as well lose my fifty thousand dollar deposit."
Well sellers are freaking out, because the buyers are backing out.
We're hearing from a lot of sellers who sold their homes in March or April. Got great prices, you know.
They've bought something else, they've moved in, and they're getting calls from their buyers saying they can't get financing now.
So someone who paid, you know, nine hundred thousand dollars for a house in March or April...
Yeah, we did an advert that started here in the UK, and it was during a program called X-Factor that we have.
And um, yeah, it just came on. And it was just like a black screen with white writing, just with the lyrics of a bit of the first verse of "Hello"
And then it ended with three dots, as in "to be continued," and um... I mean I was watching it...
I, I like X-Factor, so we were watching it, and I just like shit myself! Like, I absolutely lost the [??] when it came on!
And I got really excited, as if it wasn't me as well, and then afterwards,
I, I'm really, I'm very new to like, being on social media, and afterwards I was like trying to check Twitter
but I didn't have a Twitter account so I just saw what was on there if you're not on there.
The weather's never good! They always say in the Borders, if the mess is on the Hiltons, we never get the good weather.
And as you can see today, there's no sunshine. It's a typical Scottish Borders day.
Fantastic! Well, yeah, tell me a bit about Tweed Guide, about what you, what you guys do.
Tweed, Tweed Guide's, it's just been set up. It's about in it's third year now, like.
And we bring people all, from all walks of life, and we bring them fishing anywhere they want to go.
Well are you used to the snow up this far north?
Well, ach, well there's [??] gonna be a good wee bit of snow, you know.
There [??] way better snow there, many Christmases ago there. Oh, no!
Ah, but [??]
What do you make of it today?
Oh, well, it's not just as bad, as bad as it was back then, but sure... ach!
[??] little but it will be alright! It's a... but it's not, it's not a great day though, right enough.
It's sorta a day for the house, now, right enough!
Uh, not really! It's, it's just something you gotta do for the community, mate.
It's like, you look after your mates, and your mates'll always look after you!
There you go. Good attitude, there you go guys. Daniel, quite the Australian hero here this morning.
As for the owners of the fish-and-chip shop, well they are insured but there is a big mess to clean up this morning.
Oh, wouldn't you like to live nextdoor to Daniel!
But by then, around three quarters of the pod had already died.
Yeah, this is the third-largest mass stranding that we've recorded in our history, and so it's a very large one.
Logistically, it's a, it's a massive undertaking. Uh, the whales started stranding last night, around about ten o'clock last night.
Um, we were notified of that. And then, um, this morning when they went out and checked on them, most of the whales were already dead.
And then, you know, I thought about it and I'm like, "Yeah, that'd be interesting!" Because it would look different.
Was it equally hard for you to imagine?
The first time I heard it, I had thought they'd gone crazy. And my bigger thing was,
even if I agreed to do this, will people believe me? I, I thought over this, I, and I negotiated with them.
Right.
We tried to make changes in the script. But when they made changes and they softened the character, the whole zing was gone.
...you have come from nothing [??] stayed humble, and I respect that about him.
And for me, that make you feel good, understand?
...me think 'bout it, me love goat-belly soup. And me mother used to make hog-foot.
But since me live abroad, me don't get that no more. Me love any kind of Jamaican food.
Me favorite thing 'bout Jamaica is the sunshine. Can't beat that. Nice and warm.
You never really get no cold weather down there. And the people. Jamaican people are the warmest, kind-hearted people in the whole world.
Stop along there, 'bout where you turn up to Tony's there in them pine patch, right?
And along with that logged house, you'd probably see a boomer right there!
A lady come through, and she said, oh, I said, "That's a pretty boomer!" She said, "A boomer? What's a boomer?"
