Nie czuję sensu tego zdania, a już na pewno nie wiem czemu wywołuje śmiech u słuchaczy :/ Proszę o ratunek i bardzo dziękuję.

Niestety gość ma trudny akcent południowo-amerykański, tak zwany drawl:

A drawl is a distinctively slow, drawn-out way of talking that's especially common in the U.S. South. A writer might describe a cowboy as speaking in a lazy drawl.

A drawl tends to lengthen and extend vowel sounds in particular, so that words like "pet" or "pen" might be pronounced with two syllables, rather than one short one.
