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 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. 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.

Peanut Butter Solution

Hey Brett, Have you ever heard of the film The Peanut Butter Solution? It’s like a fever dream! I watched it when I was a kid and nobody else had heard of it. When I started talking about the story line everyone though I was explaining a dream I had! This boy goes into a haunted house and gets so scared his hair falls out. He gets visited by a ghosts who tells him to make this paste out of peanut butter to put in his head. He over does it and his hair grows uncontrollably! So then he gets kidnapped by a painter who uses the boys hair to make paint brushes. These magical paint brushes make magical painting that you can travel into… Also Celine Dion does the entire soundtrack! Epic! When the internet became a thing I started looking for it and found all these posts of folks with the same story as me. Didn’t know if the film was real or a fever dream, nobody else had ever heard of it and so on… I ended up finding a VHS copy from a rental store in Canada that was going out of business. Can confirm, it’s real! Let me know if you’d like me to be on the show and talk about it! Hugs and kisses, Adam

A gift to us all. Aside from the films and the funny, it’s a masterclass in how excellent listening can lead to more openness and connection. And I must say, Brett is one of my favorite feminists. Nobody has yet to mention the film I most relate to - Stranger Than Fiction. We’ll talk about it one day. :)

This podcast is just the best thing ever. I went back and started at episode 1 and it was great right from the start. I love comparing opinions with guests and the conversations are just like listening to two friends talking. Some of my dream guests would be Joel McHale (another guy who hates compliments as much as Brett seems to), Kevin McDonald, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Jason Bateman, Amy Sedaris—really anyone as entertaining as the other guests have been. Here’s my controversial answer to worst film: Jurassic Park. I was actually mad watching it. So loud in the theater, so much hype about how much it all cost. Just, no. I’m sure it was just fabulous but I wasn’t in the right mind space when I saw it.

When we were around 23 my best friend picked me up and didn’t tell me where we were going one night, just drove straight to the cinema and bought two tickets for this movie. We continued seeing B action movies together all through our 20’s, and I continue the tradition even now that he’s gone. I like to think he’s sitting next to me in the theater.
