All I can tell you is that people from Baltimore do not sound like that. At all. You must have never even heard the accent before. To us on the eastern seaboard, this is an unusual accent.
Well, it's clearly not Southern or Western = what we have in Oklahoma. I lived in Boston for a year; this guy, while more understated than A New England accent, is clearly from the east coast or eastern Midwest. The person who said he is most likely a transplant who lives in FL is probably right.
It all sounds Yankee to me. Sorry.

I'm telling you, he sounds an awful lot like Baton Rouge, particularly the younger set.
As soon as he started talking I was reminded of this guy...
(Warning: not safe for work or the sensitive because of language, but you only need to hear the first couple of minutes. I only know of him because my son sent me some of his videos when he was on watching "in your face atheist" kick.)

No not NYC, I agree.
The PA sentiment isn't far off since most of the southern tier is essentially a northern extension of PA, and that's where I live, lived, and will probably be for a long time. So me hearing "farr" may not be too "farr-fetched". HAHA I made a funny.

Western? Isn't a Western accent essentially an extension of the Midland? Most people I meet from Western States have no distinguishable accent except maybe for a few odd phrases but that isn't an accent, anyway.
