Ok - from UP Michigan but my Dad’s from OKC so I get you. In Minn, Wisc, and Northern MI, we don’t have a midwestern accent. We have a Northern accent, and I’m told that’s how God talks. Midwestern for Ted Lasso seems about right, MI Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has a classic midwestern (Lower Michigan) accent. Ted’s is a combo midwestern with Western (my Dad’s dialect - not Southern). Basically an OKC accent but spoken slightly faster.
