One thing I've noticed in Southern California (and here in Denver) is that, at least among white native people, the lower class/working class people don't really have an accent different from educated people. Anywhere east of Colorado and that's not the case.
^ don't some southern Californians talk country too?
Not that I've ever heard. There really isn't much "country" in SoCal. Once you're outside of the L.A. Basin or east of San Diego, it's desert, and not many people live there.
I have heard a lot of people from Northern to Southern California that have a little twang in their slang, and then you have all the migos, so that gives some of the accents a little dash of Mexican on top of that. The white people don't talk like that tho, because they have their own way of speaking.

I watched a documentary recently and one of the guys was born and raised in San Diego, and if I didn't know he was from SoCal, I would have thought he was a Southerner by the way he talked.

Places like Victorville would probably fall into that category, don't you think?
Yes, bubbler = Wisconsin
I had never heard the phrase "budge in line" until my kid went to preschool here. I grew up in New England, where we called it "cutting in line". Her teacher grew up in MN, so she might be picking up some Minnesota-based wording/accent, too.
