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?

As someone from that region and now living in the south, his accent struck me more “rural western/southwestern” than southern. More Colorado, west Texas, western Oklahoma, New Mexico than a quintessential Midwestern accent. My mother and grandmother have Midwestern accents, but Ted sounds very much like my father’s side of the family.
