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 thats not the story were 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, whos schemes and lies span over 4 decades. Its been 24 years since Gary has seen his father and he doesnt have a clue what hes up to these days. But Gary is ready to open Pandoras 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. Garys stand-up special It Could Be Worse recently premiered on his YouTube channel. His subtle style of humor took him all the way to the finals on season 10 of Americas 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.
