Funnily enough, I'm from there and my parents are NYers and we have never pronounced things this way. |

It’s not Long Island. It’s Minnesota or mid western. |

That sounds southern.
Trying to phonetically write accents almost never comes across as one intends. Do you have a clip or something? |

Absolutely Michigan. Where “dad” and “bag” and “pop” become two syllable words. It’s not Minnesota. The vowels are distinctly rounder in that accent. |

| I could see someone writing a Cleveland accent that way. |
