One of San Diego's native sons has been lightheartedly accused of speaking in a "San Diego monotone."

If you're from San Diego (or not), you should ask yourself (out loud), "What exactly does a San Diego monotone sound like?"

No, we didn't know, either, so we asked around.

On one of ESPN 's most well-known podcasts, "The Lowe Post," Bay Area reporter Ethan Strauss called out the way Luke Walton answers questions in press conferences.

"His best attribute in my opinion is his charisma," Strauss said. "That's something that doesn't quite come across in the press conferences. He sort of mumbles and San Diego monotones his way through a lot of the questions."

The comment in question ESPN’s Ethan Sherwood Strauss says Luke Walton has a "San Diego Monotone"

For those of you who live outside of the sports world, Luke Walton is the assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors who was recently named head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers . He was born and raised here before heading off to become an NBA champion.

And oh yeah, he's the offspring of Hall of Famer Bill Walton, also a son of our fine city.

So yeah, Luke is likely a fair representative of how we talk.

But what the heck is a "San Diego monotone?" Is it even a thing?

We took to Twitter to ask around, and Strauss himself got involved to talk it out.

Do we talk with a monotone voice here? Let us know by tweeting to @sdutIdeas or commenting below!
