Thought the same thing about Ky., judging from the accent. One of his other videos he says hes in Georgia.

...or maybe Texas
I'm pretty good with understanding foreign English accents but in the first part of it, even after playing it a few times, I heard: "... that's the problem with paralining today .... boontip digger with a pole on a headache rack ..."

You pretty much got it right.
ParLining = power lining. Im a pretty good terpretater cause I work around several guys that talk just like that ( might even include myself at times).

Encouraged, I went to the www:
"http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Paralining&apos ;">Paralining
A sport in which a trampoline floats towards the ground at http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=20&apos ;">20,000 http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=feet&apos ;">feet, suspended by four or more parachutes, and a skydiver http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jumps&apos ;">jumps up and down on the trampoline without his parachute deployed. When the trampoline gets low enough, the skydiver jumps off and deploys his parachute for a http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=safe&apos ;">safe landing. Parachuting + Trampolining = Paralining"
So yes, "power lining" would make more sense. And:
Common conversation between two Okies.
"Et yet?"
"Nawsinch breakus."
"Yawnt to?"
"Sump'n smawl prolly."
"Raylene's a worgin tuh thu diner. Wanna gosee whuh shezza wearin?"
"Ite."
The New Zealand accent is heavily mocked by Aussies for replacing all of the vowels a, e, i, o, u with just "u", such that an Aussie will often ask, for self indulgence, a NZ'er to say some key phrases:
fush un chups = fish and chips
sux cuns u puss = six cans of p*ss (that's Aussie for a six-pack of beer).
And I must say when I go back to NZ I really hear it and have to concentrate hard on what is being said and often have to ask for a repeat. Funnily, after opening my gob, I often get asked if I'm on holiday from England, or South Africa.
