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’s not the story we’re 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, whose schemes and lies span over 4 d... more

Such a powerful and well-crafted podcast. I laughed, teared up, and felt so many emotions listening to the story of reconnecting with his dad after 24 years. It struck such a personal chord with me and left me really hoping for a season two. So glad I was listening to old episodes of Nikki Glaser’s podcast, or I might never have discovered this gem. Brilliant storytelling.
Want to know how bad and desperate a podcast is for listens/downloads and ratings? They play ads for the same podcast twice at every commercial break when listening to the radio, whether online or in the car.
Yes, this is one of those, and sometimes there is only one commercial separating them.
I fully enjoyed this podcast. Gary did a great job telling the story of his dad’s cons…he was funny, yet was able to stay serious as well. Super easy to listen to and I highly recommend it!
Great podcast! I love Gary
great story telling. i hope to hear more about the dad at some point when he feels like he can tell everything without getting in trouble.
