LISTEN TO THE FIRST TWO EPISODES

WHAT: As kids, most of us look up to our Dads. A Dad should be a positive role model who shows us the value of hard work. Dads are supposed to teach us the difference between right and wrong. But that鈥檚 not the story we鈥檙e telling here. This is the story of Gary Vider, a successful stand-up comedian, who grew up with a Dad unlike any other. Manny Vider was a con man, who鈥檚 schemes and lies span over 4 decades. It鈥檚 been 24 years since Gary has seen his father and he doesn鈥檛 have a clue what he鈥檚 up to these days. But Gary is ready to open Pandora鈥檚 Box and take listeners on a deeply personal and comedic journey to uncover the outrageous truth about his Dad before he attempts to meet him face to face. Does Manny regret his con man life? Is he finally on the straight and narrow? Or is he still wearing a fake neck brace, forging documents, and creating sham businesses to scam anyone who will take the bait? Welcome to the hilarious and heartfelt true story of Gary Vider and his #1 Dad. 

WHO: Host Gary Vider is a New York City based comedian who has made a name for himself in the national comedy scene. Gary鈥檚 stand-up special 鈥淚t Could Be Worse鈥 recently premiered on his YouTube channel. His subtle style of humor took him all the way to the finals on season 10 of America鈥檚 Got Talent. His dry delivery has also earned him TV appearances on CONAN and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. His jokes have been published in the New York Times and Time Out NY Magazine. He was named a "Comic to Watch" by Esquire and was the winner of the 2014 Carolines on Broadway March Madness competition where he beat out 63 of the best young comedians.
