I could only make out, maybe 10% of what was said. Reminds me of the time,
long ago, when I was driving in rural Scotland and picked up a hitchhiker.
Although he was (in theory) speaking English, the only words out of him I
could make out were "speed trap". OTOH, the Scots have seen enough American
TV that they understood me just fine.

Which comes as little surprise to one who lived in the UK for some time and
listened to them talking!!
Perhaps we may conclude that the Scots are a tad smarter or at least less
gullible?
You have to imagine the accent, like Billy Connolly's Terrorist At Glasgow
Airport sketch, or Bundy the Budgie....or this young fellow who is stuck on
a roof:

Oh my word, I need to be done with this. Can't remmber when I last laughed
so much!
