1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm Gary Veeder and I have a new limited series

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: podcast called Number One Dad.

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: It may have been the greatest scam for a sports fan,

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 2: posing as a Sports Illustrated Kids reporter with your dad

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: and getting into all the games, not to mention the

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: locker rooms.

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: In the nineties, my dad and I ran a khan

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: for years where we snuck into the world's most prestigious arena,

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: New York's Madison Square Garden. They would give you credentials.

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: He's not yet to show up with credentials. Yeah. To him,

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: just a fun con that he could do with his son.

12
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: I love sports, he loved lying. Thanks to our scheme,

13
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: I interviewed some of the biggest athletes and celebrities in

14
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: the world, even Michael Jordan. Your dad is the type

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: of person that likes an adventure and likes the possibility

16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: of opportunity. As I got older, I learned this wasn't

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: the only scheme my dad was pulling. He wants me

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: to act like my injury is even worse for if payout.

19
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: He actually represented me. He's posing as my attorney. There

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: were moments where Manny would assume the role of undercover

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: police officer. My father's never ending string of lies ultimately

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: broke apart my family, and at fifteen years old, I

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: completely cut him out of my life. That was twenty

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: four years ago, but I just had a son of

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: my own, and it brought back tons of memories of

26
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: my childhood, along with tons of questions I wanted answered.

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: How did my father become this scheming mastermind? Was he

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: like this with everyone? And is it possible after all

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: these years he's actually changed. I have no idea where

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: he lives or what he's up to, but my goal

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: with this podcast is to track him down and get

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: to the truth about who my father, Manny Veeder, really is.

33
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: Courthouse.

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: My father was involved in a case from the early nineties,

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: and I'm just trying to get information. You better hope

36
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: that your dad doesn't find out about this before you're

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: ready to talk to him. I'm sorry you have reached

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,920
