Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) is from KC and people from Kansas speak in a Midwest accent. I don’t get it. I grew up in STL and lived in KC for 3 years. We don’t have southern accents. I’m I missing something?

    I grew up an hour NW of St Louis and now live the next school district over from where Jason Sudeikis grew up in KC (and my wife went to the same school district as him.

    You won’t hear that accent anywhere in St Louis or KC unless it’s someone not from here or cosplaying a southern accent.

      I love how everyone who actually lives in bigger cities in Kansas - you know, like Ted’s character AND the actor himself - gets downvoted for saying, “hey, we literally don’t sound like that”. Meanwhile, people who are like “oh I traveled to Kansas before”, or “I have family there” can INSIST that we sound like that and get upvoted. Make it make sense 🫠
