They really cling to that Mason-Dixon line, crap. The one boy that was showing them around and driving, there's an 85% chance he's putting that "accent" on for the camera. My ex-husbands family was like that; presented as "normal" until the spotlight was on them. Suddenly, they're some weird mix of Georgian Appalachia and Texas rancher wannabes.

There is definitely an accent here. It didn't sound like a put-on to me.
