"That's a good question," Smith-Wade said. "I feel like it's a trick question."
Nick Scott, as always, has an answer.
"It's still the same, but like I said, we kind of understand, like something sounds a certain way, but it doesn't sound like nothing, the closest thing it sounds like is probably what it is," explained Scott, giving an example, "OK, 'anything alert (mumbles).'"
Anything alert what?
"Exactly," he nodded, as Mike Jackson laughed in the background, "yeah, yeah, that's it."
"The faster he talks, the more his accent comes out," Scott continued, "but the better we've got at understanding him, plus we've got hand signals and whatnot."
