Sounds like German to me

Probably not harsh enough to sound German, maybe more Scandinavian (the first guy). The second guy just sounds rural Western Irish.

reply

First guy doesn’t sound like he’s speaking English, maybe a dialect of Irish, the second guy I can understand fine.

The three of them should do a remake of The Field!

reply

No they were speaking English, just with mad accent. There is a transcript in the comments.

The sheep rustler posted that! 😁

It helps if you turn the playback speed to a slower setting, but it's still hard to understand without viewing the transcript.

I can only pick out bits from the first man. He just has a thick Irish accent. But he's a rural farmer so that's expected.

I think most people from outside the UK and Ireland don't realise how many accents & dialects we have (along with various celtic languages). You can literally travel 20 miles and have a completely different accent and dialect in Britain/Ireland. The more rural it gets, the stronger the local language gets.
