He’s from a small town in southeast Nebraska (not far from my first parish). They’re small town/rural folk out that way, with a mild twang but not a full-blown redneck accent. (Me, I’m a northern-urban-accented Chicago guy).
Redneck isn’t really a southern thing. There are native Alaskan and Canadian rednecks and everywhere in between.
He was raised from age nine in West Palm Beach. Not exactly Red Neck country.
I grew up about 40 miles straight west of Pawnee City. His accent (on the video) is exactly the same as mine which is no accent. You Chicago guys, now that’s an accent!!(kidding)
Larry (or Dan or whatever) lives down in Lincoln now most of the time. He donates multi millions of dollars to charity and alot to the Husker athletic department so he is a pretty popular guy. I haven’t met him personally but used to go see him in the local comedy club before he hit it big with the Blue Collar Comedy tour. He used to call into radio shows and do comedy bits as Larry the Cable Guy back in the late 90’s and it just kind of blossomed from there I think. Many of his comedy bits on the radio shows were very conservative and not making fun us, either. His tagline on these rants was “what the hell is this, Russia?” even before git r done.
