I'm Gary Veeder and I have a new limited series podcast called Number One Dad.
It may have been the greatest scam for a sports fan, posing as a Sports Illustrated Kids reporter with your dad and getting into all the games, not to mention the locker rooms.
In the nineties, my dad and I ran a khan for years where we snuck into the world's most prestigious arena, New York's Madison Square Garden. They would give you credentials. He's not yet to show up with credentials. Yeah. To him, just a fun con that he could do with his son. I love sports, he loved lying. Thanks to our scheme, I interviewed some of the biggest athletes and celebrities in
the world, even Michael Jordan. Your dad is the type of person that likes an adventure and likes the possibility of opportunity. As I got older, I learned this wasn't the only scheme my dad was pulling. He wants me to act like my injury is even worse for if payout. He actually represented me. He's posing as my attorney. There were moments where Manny would assume the role of undercover
police officer. My father's never ending string of lies ultimately broke apart my family, and at fifteen years old, I completely cut him out of my life. That was twenty four years ago, but I just had a son of my own, and it brought back tons of memories of my childhood, along with tons of questions I wanted answered. How did my father become this scheming mastermind? Was he like this with everyone? And is it possible after all
these years he's actually changed. I have no idea where he lives or what he's up to, but my goal with this podcast is to track him down and get to the truth about who my father, Manny Veeder, really is.
Courthouse.
My father was involved in a case from the early nineties, and I'm just trying to get information. You better hope that your dad doesn't find out about this before you're ready to talk to him. I'm sorry you have reached a number that have been disconnected or it is no longer in service. This is Number one Dad. Listen to Number One Dad starting on June tenth on Will Farrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
