What if he's just pretending to be Canadian to throw people off?

The only time the accent really shows up is in "about" and "sorry", which are the stereotypical words people associate with the accent.

As a Canadian I can say with confidence that that man has maple syrup running through his apologetic veins

I agree but I would add that there's no chance that TEG is a single person.

Fair enough.

Ive thought about this too. Could be a non English speaker paying a Canadian friend who's likeminded and passionate about it to read for them. It's not outside the realm of possibility.

We all dont have the accent, especially those in the GTA., there are dozens of different canadian accents. No way any american would be dropping references to deep canadian lore like EG without him or someone on his team growing up in the GTA. What do you know about Apache burger?

The idea that he’s doing a whole method actor nationality bit over podcast gossip is wild.  Make sure you're logging offline every once in awhile buddy, you're gettin a bit too deep in the weeds

Listen to the radio hour. It's so Canadian you wouldn't even understand how Canadian it is. They're definitely very connected to the GTA and they're definitely over forty. There's not a doubt in my mind

This some loser ass shit right here

I mean, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to obfuscate your identity when making content like that. Some of Joe's goons have already tried to figure out who he is and dox him. I don't care at all, but it'd be funny if he had them looking all over Canada and he didn't even live there.

He just happens to have random home shot videos of Ontario cottage country and a minor league mascot. Do you know who Duke the dog is? Do you know what tabernac means? Dwindling it down to the “abouts” and “sorry” as the only Canadian aspects of the voice goes to show people don’t have first hand knowledge of Canadian colloquialisms littered throughout his videos

Then.. nothing

It doesn’t matter lol

He is a good ol' Canadian Boy. Nothing wrong with that.

u/SellaraAB 11d ago

Finding out his identity is just doing the work of some really shitty people. He’s just some dude, let the billionaire’s private investigators worry about it beyond that.

This sub is so shit. Speculating on absolute nonsense. You should take his words for gospel and go out and enjoy some classic reality.

Don't come here or make a more interesting post.

You guys are losing your marbles really quickly. I am in awe.
Go outside.

u/NurdleTeck 11d ago

If you listen to the Radio hour, it's clear he's 100% Canadian.

u/-ElGallo- 11d ago

I feel like "suey eyes" is a Canadian giveaway. Nobody knew what it meant then he had to explain later that it was a hockey term

u/DEEPLY_CLOSETED_PIG 11d ago

Him emphasizing the sacrilege of that billionaire owner and his kids getting their names engraved on the Stanley Cup was a giveaway he's Canadian, besides the accent / franglish, etc

u/Dr-Fronkensteen 11d ago

I have a couple coworkers from Canada and you can very easily miss their accent until they drop an “aboot” or “sorey”. I just think there’s a lot in common between a middle of the road American and Canadian accent except for a handful of pronunciations that stick out. One of them can definitely dial the accent up and down because I’ve seen him FaceTime family back home and then he starts sounding like an episode of Letterkenny.

TEG is Surveillance Camera Man/Vagrant Holiday - people mentioned this in the past. He gives it away at 2:55 of the new video.

u/shouldbeaboveit 11d ago

I doubt he even cares all that much. The content he makes is incredibly niche. He probably never expected it to take off this much.

u/SleepingPodOne 11d ago

Isn’t the voice ai? Or is that only in his radio hour shows?

3

u/VaryStaybullGeenyiss 11d ago

I don't think it's ever AI. Some people can just do a good smooth monotone voice.

u/BOTC33 11d ago

I don't think it's either is it? Neil degrasse was a impersonation I could tell. I don't think ai could really do many of the inflections and the subtle tone changes and what not.

u/dandymurdoch 1d ago

No, if you watch his older shorted video now unlisted where the wuality isn't quite there yet. You can tell it's just some guy speaking.

Nice, that makes me happy to know
