How intelligible are Turkish and Azeri? I know they are close enough, but I wonder if it similar to Scottish English vs. American English or farther, more like Spanish vs. Portuguese?

I think he’s talking about this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_English
As the article you just linked to say, “Scottish Standard English is at one end of a bipolar linguistic continuum, with focused broad Scots at the other”. Some people consider Scots to be a dialect of English, others don’t.
Either way, American English and Scottish English are very much not “the exact same language”
