Why does Gerard Whateley sound so weird when he says "so"?

[javaguice]

I honestly can't get my head around it. Have a listen to the bloke try and pronounce "so".

I think it kind of sounds like he says "sho".... especially when he gets passionate about the subject he is dribbling/preaching on about.

I am hoping someone on bigfooty.com has studied linguistics and explain to me why I find it so infuriating.

Thanks. Hit me up if thread needs a poll.

Having now conducted thorough google research, it might be this:

Aphasia: Types, Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

Aphasia is a brain disorder that disrupts how you speak or understand others talking. This happens because of other conditions, especially brain damage from stroke.

That’s irrelevant
His biggest problem is his opinon changes depending on the colours they wear.
When your suppose to be a national football media figure head that’s a massive flaw.

not sure I've noticed the "so", but starting his explanations with "is" sends me

Yeah nah he goes alright for a bloke who's been at the pub since lunch.

Its like a rhetorical question... because you know the f*wit already knows the answer

I don't like the posh way his says "Orstrailia". I reckon he probably got his snootiness from his time at the ABC
