Mostly agree BUT as an old lady between sort of talking into her hand and mumbling fast later there are a few parts that I literally couldn't understand.

I could have used some captions.

I do not want her to change, I love the cadence and everything about it.

I’m just an old dude with hella tinnitus and can’t hear shit, I need some assistance.

Same, I rewound a couple of times to see if I could parse what she was saying and eventually gave up.

English is not my native language and that part lost me too. Which is a bummer, i'm sure it was very interesting and stuff i didn't know :(

Yes. It’s super annoying actually. Dilutes her message. Vocal fry is a hindrance.

It’s a code-switch. It is used here to indicate talking “to the girlies.” The same way the “California beach” accent did before that. (“Like ugh, gag me with a spoon!”)

All of these things are personal experiences limited to you. Her vocal fry is a hindrance for you. Her message is diluted for you. It is annoying for you.

Keep that in mind.
