I am named checked around 19:00! Mispronounced but such is the fate of a person with a surname so perplexing as Nicoll.

When will you change your name to something easier like Raymond Luxury-Yacht?

About what you'd expect from someone who pronounces "laser" as if spelled "lazor". :-P

Now that I've listened to this I suspect a slight speech defect, which as a person who fought with rhotacism for years, I won't criticize.

He pretty much says straight out that he has a speech impediment in earlier videos, and asks viewers to turn on captions if they have trouble understanding him.

I did wonder what accent that was.

There was a Glaswegian fan active in UK fandom many years ago who English fans had trouble understanding. They thought it was just a thick Glasgow accent but it turned out that he had a speech impediment and the Glasgow fans had trouble understanding him, too.

I was wondering about New Zealand sound shift. (I don't recall how they've shifted their vowels, so I don't know whether the vowel shift here matches.)

Thanks. This is the first video of his that I've seen.
