"dude was trying to convince me that the Fatherhood Web video was a hoax"

I hope you don't think that was me. I've been skeptical of that video from the beginning. With all do respect to you and @pungent that's not John Podesta in the video. It's a guy with a Boston accent. I'm not saying the fatherhood video is real or fake. I'm just saying the father is from Boston and John Podesta's from Chicago. They can't be the same person.

Since they're not the same person everything points to that video being a hoax. Sorry. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

I have to say the man (possibly Podesta) in the father vid is DEFINTELY a Chicago accent. Besides being in complete shock of the poor kid, that was the first thing I noticed. I grew up outside of Chicago. There are differences between Boston and Chicago accents. Chicago tends to not use TH sounds properly or N'T like Don't. Doncha instead of don't ya.

Also the "o" in hot stuff line. The o sound is Chicago.

"Chicago accent"

Sorry but that's a Boston accent. There's no question. Unless you've lived in Massachusetts you'd never know though.

@DarkMath is right about this. I was just mentioning in another thread earlier how I am from chicago. It's not a chicago accent. It sounds to me like it may be a new england accent, but tbh I haven't spent enough time in that part of the country to say. That said, I have heard someone do what I thought was a pretty decent imitation of a Boston accent, but that's pretty irrelevant ;)
