The Kid Who Conned the Sports World | PTFO

On one level, standup comedian Gary Vider’s childhood was a dream come true. He and his father, Manny, had virtually unlimited access to some of the biggest games and athletes and celebrities in the world. The only problem is that the whole thing was built on a complete lie.

I thought Pablo was about to tell us Jeremiah conned us all & I was going to be heartbroken

[@fortmoney]

I want an episode on Jeremiah

This is the third podcast I've seen Gary on this week, and by far the best one.

Story is tragically humorous

[@gabdex83]

Another absolute banger. This show doesn't miss.

[@thebigoaktree8401]

This is tragic for him. He seems to be caught in an emotionally traumatic vacuum. It seemed to have aged him terribly.

[@AJ-ox6yi]

Isn't he in his 40's? Looks pretty young and happy to me. Where's the tragedy?

This story is wild... definitely needed this to get my day started. Thank you Pablo! Please do a story on the LA Clippers rebrand soon! It's a fascinating story and coincides with the "new direction" that Ballmer is trying to take the team in and the whole Kawhi/PG stuff. Similar tone as the T-Wolves story but less about the ownership group and more about the actual sports going on. I'm sure you could find some really good info for us!

every time I tune in I don't think I can love this show more, but y'all drop the str8 fire 🔥🚒🔥🚒🔥

My dad took me to the Jordan 55 point game at the garden (as far as I know under completely legitimate pretenses). For a 9 year old it was overwhelmingly electric. I wore my MJ jersey, my bulls hat, and red and black air force ones. I think this was the point at which my dad, a life long Knicks fan, realized I was a lost cause.

What metric are John & david using to hypothesize that Catlin would have a major financial & viewership impact on an international event?

[@ILL_WILL912]

If you think the wnba is rough on Caitlin, imagine her playing against Australia or Spain and they don't give AF who she is or her "brand"

[@omnivant6788]

True….what’s your point?

[@ILL_WILL912]

@@omnivant6788 that Americans or new women’s basketball fans will have a fit when they see how physical international women play who don’t know what Iowa is

What does that have to do with my question?

[@ILL_WILL912]

The real question is did you watch the video of those 3 talking about that before you asked the question on a separate Pablo video

[@billharris7235]

How can you not ask the question - "Why?". Con men have a motive, usually money. What did the dad get out of it? Did he sell the photos or stories? Major journalistic error. Too many years on Highly Questionable!
