The accent called "General American English" is what people are taught in speech therapy, what kindergarteners are taught in phonics, and what newscasters are taught in broadcasting It is found natively in **drum roll** parts of Ohio and Indiana. Which makes Tim's East Coast theory really funny to me 😂
I went to that panel solely because Nick was supposed to interview him. I sat through an hour of Henry Winkler talk about shows and movies I have never seen hahaha 1:04:08
Nick, everytime I hear a Californian accent it is a momentary pause and reset. NY is *such* a melting pot that we are running into different accents multiple times daily. Also, ask Roger to say "Water" if you want that NY to come out 😆
Funny story about euthanasia...in 9th grade, our English teacher randomly opened up an encyclopedia and picked a topic for us to do a research paper on. I got euthanasia, but I took it as "youth in asia" because I didn't know about euthanasia so I did a whole paper on children in Asia and he gave me a C for doing the wrong topic hahaha
Tim, Nick and Mike sound like normal, regular Americans. You could tell me they were from Oregon, or Washington, or Arizona and I’d believe it. California has Valley Girl and Surfer, which is pretty much the same thing.
I think one thing you all might be unaware of is that many black Californians have a distinct accent (specifically in south Los Angeles) Listen to how Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Vince Staples or Tiffany Haddish speaks. That accent is specific to black Californians
I’m not sure there’s really a difference between the Midwest accent and the western accent. But Nick trying to cop the Midwest accent (the accent most commonly on News and TV) as a California/main US accent is crazy haha.
I’m from the Bay Area - grew up in Northern California until I was 22. I moved to New York City at 23 and everyone in NYC could instantly tell I was from Cali. Literally, I would only have to say like 2 sentences maximum and they’d know right away. We def have an accent and more over a vocabulary. Also I do a podcast with OMGzus, he’s from Vegas and even he makes fun of me for my Cali accent.
I feel like the majority of the US outside of the far north, south, NE, and the occasional outlier have the same accent but just different word choices. Like Tim, Nick, Blessing, Mike, Barrett, and Joey could all be from the same place. They all sound the same to me
As someone from not-Pittsburgh Pennsylvania all of you except for Mike sound like myself and everyone around me sounds, it's called General American or "Media American".
Hearing them refer to Valley girl as an accent when it’s more of an affectation is driving me crazy, lol. And the reason that the West Coast has less “accents“ is because the way that we speak, minus any affectations like Valley girl, is closer to how the dictionary says words should be pronounce than most other places, including England. I hate to take Nick/Andy side on this, but they’re right.
Drew Barrymore has a text book Californian accent to me. The California accent takes me out of a film all the time and it is not a good default American accent.
Midwest is considered the neutral American accent. It does get a little German/Canadian if you go up into Minnesota and northern Wisconsin, but we make fun of that in southern Wisconsin too in the Madison-Milwaukwee-Chicago area. We do have a little of that Wisconsin-Minnesota accent slip out in Madison/Milwaukee though too and Chicago has a bit of one sometimes too.
As an Australian the California accent sounds like a super generic voice much like Andy describes. New York, Boston and Fargo are like the only unique sounding accents I can think of off the top of my head.
The disrespect of not even mentioning south central cali accent that dominated most of the 90’s of rap and recently with shows like snowfall . Very disappointing
The “American” accent that Andy (and eventually Nick) kept referring to is just called a Midwest accent. That’s what newscasters use. Has fuck all to do with Cali
Andy is so wrong here. Bay Area, SF, LA all sound completely different. Seattle has its own accent, Oregon has its own, just TH-cam it and it’s obvious. It just seems like we have no accent because of Hollywood. It’s the language we export
Dude, as someone who lived around a lot of accents (mostly rural Appalachian) it always sounds cringe when people without an accent say y'all. It's like, you can hear them smiling to themselves for how charming they think they're being. Then again, it's gets annoying when I hear southern folk saying it a lot too. Maybe I just hate words.
@@elsuenosalvadoreno hey if it's natural have at it. I've lived almost always on the east coast, eastern PA and rural NC, so I'm just going on what I know. I lived in Fargo a while but they mostly said yous. Their accents were hilarious, you betcha
Tim gettys is so set on creating a California accent. Sorry but people from California just sound like normal white people, there’s no accent unless you’re a surfer bro
It is "Gettys's." I believe it would only be "Gettys'" when referring to plural possession, like if Mike said "were going to the Gettys' for dinner." Edit- please someone out there correct me if I'm wrong. I've been living my life by these rules!

Andy trying to do a New Jersey accent and just saying fuck a bunch of times is honestly spot on lmao
01:16:30 When Tim says he’s told Andy multiple times that Alfie is Lily Allen’s brother … Andy’s face had me dying lol
Tim gets so pressed when someone doesn't agree with his California love😂😂
Y’all should listen to Fred Armisten’s stand up special where he goes through each state’s accent. It’s hilarious and fun to watch.
Earth day is the same every year, April 22 😅
It literally cannot fall on the same days as 4/20 😂
Kinda Funny! Doing the lords work and deciding whats left, whats right and what accents are out of sight!
This episode was hilarious!
After listening to a shit ton of classic audio drama, I really love the Mid-Atlantic accent
56:12 hit me with that scream, Andy! (The Comedy Button reference - RIP 😢)
The only time Roger sounds distinctly New York is when he says “Automatically” at 18:23
OOWOTOmatcially
I went to that panel solely because Nick was supposed to interview him. I sat through an hour of Henry Winkler talk about shows and movies I have never seen hahaha 1:04:08
this was such a great episode, you guys! so much fun!
Nick, everytime I hear a Californian accent it is a momentary pause and reset. NY is *such* a melting pot that we are running into different accents multiple times daily. Also, ask Roger to say "Water" if you want that NY to come out 😆
Greg-less episodes are a vibe lol
I love Greg, but the vibe without him is immaculate

Omg lmaoo
If someone could do a cut of tim telling Andy about reek would be great
Tim, Nick and Mike sound like normal, regular Americans. You could tell me they were from Oregon, or Washington, or Arizona and I’d believe it.
California has Valley Girl and Surfer, which is pretty much the same thing.
Replying to myself; Floyd said that in Bedrock, not Lil Wayne
The accent talk is so dam funny lol
Andy, any Devolver dev would totally do the Teo Ferns idea. Or like Sam Lake kind of people.
Nick casually saying its OK to go fast enough to turn small children into jam in a school area
Being born and raised in Los Angeles I agree with Andy on the accent stuff. Tim maybe thinking of slang ?? Like Bay area peeps saying "Hella"
Earth Day is always April 22nd my Mom's birthday, coincidence? No
37:22 It's better to be brutally honest than obviously lying

By chance does anyone have a link to the interview they did with Tony hawk because I want to see the awkwardness
new stretch goal : Mike on the streets of boston stream
Love that Andy knows about Ali G. Absolutely golden series by Sasha Baron Cohen. 'Yeah but what gives the youth in asia the right to kill people?'
Lmao, Earth Day is always on April 22nd. not sure how april 22nd and the 20th fall on the same day lololol. oh mike.
It's funny because in the Chicago area we don't call it a new york accent, we call it a brooklyn accent

If they got a Warby Parker near y'all Mike can get a pair of nice looking glasses for 350 with transitions lenses and an eye test included.
1:00:22 almost made me choke. 🤣
Imagine what would happen in that 501st year...cure cancer for sure
Tim turns out the song is called Alfie gonna watch the video after this episode is done in a couple seconds.

Fargo Minnesota has the best accent😊

@andy The Rangers, Astros, Mavs, Spurs, Rockets, etc are all in Western division/conferences!
There are accents in California. Oakland, Long Beach, Compton but those are mostly black and brown people
Happy 40th Birthday Greg.
Drew Barrymore has a text book Californian accent to me.
The California accent takes me out of a film all the time and it is not a good default American accent.
I think it would be a great episode if all of you tried to keep a different accent the whole show.
Midwest is considered the neutral American accent. It does get a little German/Canadian if you go up into Minnesota and northern Wisconsin, but we make fun of that in southern Wisconsin too in the Madison-Milwaukwee-Chicago area. We do have a little of that Wisconsin-Minnesota accent slip out in Madison/Milwaukee though too and Chicago has a bit of one sometimes too.
lol I've lived on the east coast, Texas and CA and can confirm CA does not have an accent.
I suck at lying so tell the truth. The consequence of that is some people ask a question hoping you'll lie to them. But not from me.
Mike did NOT need to ask everyone else if they could read the screen 😂
As a New Yorker I can say the California accent is how New Yorkers think we sound.
i miss kfaf
Michigan had the most normal accent
I’ve come to the conclusion that they bully Mike lmao
I did the same thing as Andy with my pills as a kid. my parents moved the bed n found em when I moved out.
No one speaks queen's English apart from imbreda
how can we get henry winkler on the podcast? justice
The moon because there's no French there.
Liar Liar moral of the story: push through the hard times
South Carolina representing!

I'm 20 minutes in, does ANYONE ever ask why no one knows east and west?!
The left side?!?
American geographical education is terrifying.
Every single speaking person in the world has an accent. No one is accent-free.
as a person who lived abroad, I can agree that people perceived the california accent as the default american accent
The “American” accent that Andy (and eventually Nick) kept referring to is just called a Midwest accent. That’s what newscasters use. Has fuck all to do with Cali
I mean I always tell the truth, even when I lie
Them shorts looks like boxers why they so short

Agreed but as some one born and raised in Reno I’ve been told I have a California accent and I say y’all so idk
@@elsuenosalvadoreno hey if it's natural have at it. I've lived almost always on the east coast, eastern PA and rural NC, so I'm just going on what I know. I lived in Fargo a while but they mostly said yous. Their accents were hilarious, you betcha
It isn’t valley girl anymore it is Kardashian 18:38
Andy isn’t thinking of Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Ohio is the American accent. It's the accent they ask British people to learn when they play Americans in movies
Tim gettys is so set on creating a California accent. Sorry but people from California just sound like normal white people, there’s no accent unless you’re a surfer bro
Every single speaking person in the world has an accent. No one is accent free.
only person with an accent on the podcast is Mike.
It is "Gettys's." I believe it would only be "Gettys'" when referring to plural possession, like if Mike said "were going to the Gettys' for dinner."
Edit- please someone out there correct me if I'm wrong. I've been living my life by these rules!
I think they meant Gettys’ which is what I was taught as well, but I’m by no means a grammar proffesh.
chicagoans say chicago as chi-CAW-go.
The "Boston Accent" isn't a real thing. I am from there, Born and raised I only hear that on TV.
Totally a real thing. Same way some New Yorkers have an accent. I miss it though.
Obviously ignoring the Chicano accent. 956 4 ever bro
andy still bringing up chloe and projecting his need for therapy onto mike
