Comedian Hilariously Details 'Greatest Scam' Growing Up With Con Man Father

Dads exist as someone their children can look up to, model their lives after, and count on for protection, but what happens when the father figure who is supposed to teach you right from wrong is a scheming criminal?

Comedian and podcast host Gary Vider 's father Manny is a con man, and it's all he's ever known, as detailed in iHeartRadio podcast #1 Dad . Per the summary:

"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 decades. It’s been 24 years since Gary has seen his father and he doesn’t have a clue what he’s up to these days. But Gary is ready to open Pandora’s 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."

In the latest episode, " The Garden ," Gary takes listeners back to his "fondest memory" with his father, which includes sneaking into Madison Square Garden and posing as a reporter and photographer to avoid paying for tickets.

The hilarious comedian turns to humor before coming face to face with his father after all these years, and he has questions.

"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?"
