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?

In an interview I saw, Jason said Ted’s accent & colorful turns of phrase are based on one of Jason’s real life high school baseball coaches (who was southern). Ted’s accent is definitely not a suburban Kansas accent. A Kansas/Midwest accent is more nasal and flat. Am from Kansas.
Thank you! I’m from the Midwest and that is NOT a Midwest (KC) accent.
