“Incoherent mumbling” is a disrespectful yet accurate description of a Brummie accent

He does a weekly talk with his buddy on his radio channel, and man he doesn't sound well. His accent mixed with him getting old is rough.

One could even say it sounds like "incoherent mumbling".

It's not just the accent, it's his age/health combined with the accent. He was at least understandable with effort back in the day, now he practically needs a translater when he's not using his singing voice.
