"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.

where exactly did you grow up? I've lived on the south side of the city for the majority of my life, and I can tell you with confidence that did NOT sound like a chicago accent to me.

That floors me. You can not hear a Chicago accent? He sounds like every guy in my family and most of the local people I waited on back in the days when I worked at Ditka's.

I don't really want to listen to the video again at the moment, but if I'm not super depressed later on I'll give it another go and see if I can catch what you mean. I don't hear the chicago accent at all, but then again I grew up in Englewood, which is very different as a neighborhood than the areas you mention.

Ya, i get what ur saying about listening to it again. I was going to, I just can't. I cried off and on for three days the first time. I guess there's another vid of it more clear (visual wise) and I just can't do it. Listen to his Os, As and the doncha part. Shit, it sounds like one of my uncles but a higher voice. Of course, I could be wrong and maybe it is NY or Boston, who the hell knows. No mistaking however, the kid is being tortured and scared out of their mind.

I think someone did computerized test on it, like a comparison to the voice and Podesta and it came out a match. It was on YT somewhere but probably scrapped by now.

ETA- maybe first listen to Podesta on some vids. He is from NW Chicago and def has the accent. Usually it comes out more, if people are excited or mad.

I'll never get over how much that sounds like Podesta (in the video).

Regardless of all the back and forth about accents.

People do shill hard against this video even being discussed on the forum, esp. that MagaBoomer person.

yeah, I lost it the first time I saw the video. it's infuriating that people refer to this video as a "hoax" since there's obviously a child being tortured, regardless of who the abuser is.

I actually saw one of those videos with an audio comparison that supposedly matched up to JP also (as I remember, they matched it to one of his speeches on the HRC campaign trail). I don't remember the specifics anymore, but I remember being doubtful because the audio software they were using was pretty much a joke (I did some audio/music engineering when I was a bit younger). I remember specifically thinking to myself that this audio comparison was a lot like the photo comparison from www.twinsornot.net early on in the investigation where someone put in Caris James and Madeline McCann's photos for comparison, and they came back a 100% match despite not really looking anything alike. I tried twinsornot.net myself because I was curious, and more often than not it would return a 100% match for photos of me compared to friends who look nothing at all like me (by which I mean, not even the same race). If you're feeling up to it later and want to try to find that audio comparison again, I might be up for looking further into it.

Ok cool. Ya, I don't know much about that audio stuff. And very good idea for someone different, like you, to maybe run another test.
