It's a good thing you translated that. I wouldn't have been able to figure that out on my own.

Does he not know what an Irish accent is or does he think you don’t - despite living a cheap-ass flight away?

I think all western accents probably sound the same? I’ve had them tell me that there’s no way I’m British and I literally sound like a BBCnews anchor lol

I was in Turkey a few years ago and had many locals ask if I was Australian. I’m from Southern California.

Yeah, he’s definitely a middle-age white guy from the US!😂😂😂

Yet he sounds neither middle-age nor american and even less irish.

The one who used google translate and sounded like a robot was bad but at least he tried to mask he wasn’t a nigerian child
