Here is my entry. The background was a general map of American accents, but in uploading, it turned into a strange green background. No matter, as the sound is still good.
Lol, you don't sound Irish, but the way you said five is how it would be pronounced in the Irish accent (somewhat), it's the only example I can think of.
