your call.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
My dad.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
It's Gary.
Speaker 5 (00:15):
I am.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I know it's been a long time, but I am
calling you because I been thinking a lot about.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Memory full.
Speaker 6 (00:27):
So I know this is like a weird question.
Speaker 7 (00:30):
I was wondering if you get out.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
So I have a number for my father, who I
haven't spoken to in like twenty four years, and I'm
not sure if it's his phone number.
Speaker 7 (00:38):
What's the Pune number?
Speaker 6 (00:39):
So it's six ' three one, what's what's his name?
Speaker 8 (00:44):
Manny Veeter?
Speaker 7 (00:47):
I mean that's the number that is showing one here.
Speaker 9 (00:54):
It's a young boy looking for his father. It's hard
to be funny in a situation like this.
Speaker 7 (00:58):
You make fun of me all the time about it. No,
I say, Gary, is that your dad over there?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (01:04):
Look nope, no, Look I wish I was your dad
and wasn't here.
Speaker 7 (01:08):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I'm on tour with my friend, comedian Nate Barghetsi. We
just finished up a show in Toronto, and I caught
Nate up on everything that's been going on with my dad.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
Since we last talked. I called my house.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Last known address he's had is my old house, but
that information is from that he lived there three years ago,
so nobody has seen him in the last three years.
Speaker 10 (01:29):
Oh really yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (01:30):
So I called the house phone.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I'm leaving a message and then the machine just cuts
off halfway through the message.
Speaker 9 (01:36):
Was it his voice on the message?
Speaker 7 (01:38):
No, it was an automated message. Yeah, I hold message?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Did you leave?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I mean I'm talking like it was just a short,
like ten second message, and then I got cut off.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
I'm like, hey, dad, this is Gary.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I just want to let you know, and then like
just cut off. So I've been trying to find somebody
who has the most recent number, but I've been striking out.
I did send him also a Facebook message and that
has turned up empty off.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
So I don't know what to do. Did you go
to the house?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I went to the house to just see, like if
there's any sign of him living there, and it looks
like a young family lives there, So I have no
idea if he lives there, but the house, like I
looked up the house, it's not in his name.
Speaker 9 (02:21):
What if he moved though, man like, because I mean
a lot of people moved out of New York and.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Maybe everyone I spoke to so far, no one has
seen him in the last three years.
Speaker 9 (02:30):
You think he's I mean he's still alive, right.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
Yeah, this is where you told me that he's there.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Yeah, I go, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
I don't know to tell you if it's scary.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I thought about him possibly being dead, but I think
he's he's alive.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
He's just hard to get in touch with clean.
Speaker 9 (02:45):
Maybe it's that family though, and they're like, we can't
be here for this old man calling for his dad. Yeah, goes,
they can let it. What if that family just screamed
at the answer machine, just let it go?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yeah, I hope you do try though.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (03:01):
I think I feel like if you track him down,
I think he's going to be in your life more
than you know, because it seems like someone like that,
they're gonna, you know, like it. And then it's like
now they can like walk in there. You're giving him some.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
I'm opening the door front. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And and he seems like a guy who wants to
take advantage of the situation. Yeah, as soon as he
sees that your name's on this.
Speaker 10 (03:26):
He might be on the bus.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (03:31):
It seems crazy that no one knows where so he
talked to does he have friends like they have lifelong
friends or.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, there's one guy, this guy Howie, and he's an option.
Have you talked to him as I sent him a message?
So hopefully he gets back to me. And then the
other big one is the local rabbi. I'm like, maybe
he still like goes to temple.
Speaker 9 (03:55):
Yeah, so so there's a good chance today it's kept
up with everything except you.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, this is number one Dad, Hey Gary, Hi, Rabbi,
how are you?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
How are you? How's everything?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Everything's good. It's been a while, long time, long time.
That's my old rabbi from Long Island, Rabbi Sacks. I
sent out emails to anyone who might still be in
touch with my father in the hopes of getting his number,
and so far he's the only one who responded. We
haven't spoken since nineteen ninety six when he helped me
with my bar mitzvah. My father was pretty religious when
(04:39):
I was growing up, so I'm hoping he and the
rabbi might still be in touch.
Speaker 11 (04:43):
I remember your dad asking me whether I would accept assignment,
and I said.
Speaker 12 (04:48):
Of course.
Speaker 11 (04:49):
He brought you in you with this skinny, little runt,
a lot of hair, and I saw you quite a bit.
I do remember at that point of time, your parent
were going through a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Yeah, it was a tough situation.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, Rabbi, when was the last time you saw my father?
Speaker 11 (05:08):
That I don't remember, but I remember your dad came
into synagogue and he said, you're not going to believe this,
but Gary is you know, he's climbing up the ladder.
When America's got talent, you should watch him.
Speaker 12 (05:20):
And he was.
Speaker 11 (05:22):
He was smiling like a cheshire cat, you know, from
every ear was. He was happy, he was proud, and
I wasn't the only one he.
Speaker 12 (05:29):
Told you know, Gary, I loved your first performance.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I thought you were terrific and you were very memorable
with your family excited that you got through the next round.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I actually didn't tell them that I got through the
next round.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
Why is that?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Just in case?
Speaker 7 (05:44):
You know, I keep on advancing.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I want to keep the money to myself.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
So that would have been twenty fifteen.
Speaker 11 (05:50):
Somewhere around there. I have a very funny recollection of
him telling me, look, you see that they're following me.
I said, who's following?
Speaker 5 (05:59):
You?
Speaker 12 (05:59):
See that car?
Speaker 11 (06:01):
Watch when I leave, they're gonna leave, I said, who
are they?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So he goes.
Speaker 11 (06:07):
They're making sure that I don't go to work. I
guess some type of sure it's work has come. I'm
not sure what, but sure enough. There was a son advisor,
so you couldn't see there was anybody in there. So
your dad got in and he smiled at me. He's
a gun in the car. I was looking from the
window and he left right away, so he knew he
(06:29):
had a tail.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, there's always some type of insurance thing going on
with him, but.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
That's my dad. That's exactly what he would do.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, Rabbi do have my father's phone number, so I can't.
Speaker 11 (06:44):
Get the number. Enough people here have his number, I can.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
Get the right one.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I so appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Thank you so much for your help with this, and
please let me know if you get that number.
Speaker 11 (06:57):
Sure of course anytime.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, waiting for the Rabbi to get back to me
with my dad's number, I actually heard from one of
the other people I had reached out to. It was
an old high school buddy of my father's, Howie Robertson,
who he met a couple of times when I was
a kid. He also happens to be a former warden
at Riker's Island.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
You give me.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Goosebumps, man, because it sounds just like it.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Really, really, he sounds just like him.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
That's the truth.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, I was gonna say, it's interesting, you know that
you say that I sound like my father because you know,
we haven't talked in twenty four years, so I don't
think he and I have spoken since my voice has changed,
so to hear that, it's weird.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I mean, there's fletching in your voice. He sounds just
like it.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Since my father and Howie were so close, I had
to ask if he had any stories to share. He
told me one about my dad having his payphone business
in a halfway house.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
It was a halfway house in Brooklyn. I knew three
guys who worked there. And listen during the time when
your father had a payphone business again, we're call him
back now before cell phones. And I had a guy
and his name is Kenneth McGriff, aka Supreme. He was
one of the biggest drug king pins in the history
(08:08):
of New York City. And Supreme and everybody petrified inside
of the buildings. Guys like Supreme, they're running their housing
they're running to jail.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Investigators say a lot of drugs moved through these two
buildings in the past six months to a year.
Speaker 12 (08:25):
They estimate that in excess of one thousand miles of
crack were sold and bought here each day.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Supreme was the founder of the Supreme Team, an organized
crime syndicate that operated out of the Baisley Projects in
South Jamaica. Queens his gang focus on the widespread distribution
of crack cocaine. At its peak in nineteen eighty seven,
the Supreme Team was making two hundred thousand dollars a day.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
No, your father would come in. We got his phones
there and they walked around talking to people. And he's
walking amongst these guys, sitting down with them, having long conversations,
and you know, everybody love them. And the guys that
I knew there that can't allow them to come in
and put the phones there to say, Man, I don't
know what your friend is doing in terms of manny,
he said, but this guy has these guys eating out
(09:11):
of his hand. But that's who he was. You know,
he didn't care who he was, what your status was,
whether you're black, white man.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
He could get down with you wow.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
But his main thing was, Hey, nobody messes with my phones.
Nobody messes with my phones. If you got to make
a phone call, do it in here. Don't go outside
and use the phone that's down the block. Use these
phones here, you know.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
So, when's the last time you talked to my dad.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
It's been a while, right before COVID hit. Yeah, so
we're going back, what three years something like that?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Do you have his phone number?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Let's have a phone number? Yes, okay, that's six y
two five?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
All right, amazing, I appreciate it. Howie, all right, buddy,
dank it bye.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I I am about to call the number that how
he gave me and hopefully talk to my dad.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I'm sorry, be killing me.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
If you're doing, have reached this recording error, len you
check the number and try to work all again.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
In one thousand feet, turn right onto Darlington Avenue.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I am on my way to Long Island once again.
And the reason is because it's been two weeks since
I started this thing, and the number how he gave
me has been disconnected. I still haven't heard back from
the Rabbi, and I still haven't heard back from my dad.
After leaving a message on what may or may not
(11:05):
be his answer machine. I guess you could add that
to the twenty four years he and I haven't spoken. So,
using my best judgment, I've decided I'm gonna do a
stake out of my child at home.
Speaker 12 (11:27):
Like sausage and Caprica.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
How you doing good?
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Coyotea A large cheese pizza.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
All right, to go?
Speaker 8 (11:37):
Please?
Speaker 7 (11:38):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
All right? We want to put this in the DoorDash bag.
Speaker 13 (11:51):
It's designed to keep it warm.
Speaker 10 (11:53):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I've enlisted the help of my friend Chris Roach. He's
going to pretend to be a DoorDash delivery guy to
get confirmation if my dad lives in my childhood home.
I'm still not sure, and I can't just go up
and ring the doorbell myself.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I see it. Well, let's see the seat.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I put my seat warmer.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
On the I feel like these people should get the best.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
We were ready.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I had a live mic, a pen mic, and a
keychain mic taped to the bottom of the door dash bag.
I wanted to make sure if Chris had contact with
my father. I didn't miss a second.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
So this is the plan.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You are gonna knock on who I think is my
dad's neighbor's door and deliver them a pizza. You're gonna say,
I have a pizza for many Vitter and hopefully they say, oh,
you know, he doesn't live here, he lives next door,
and that will give us confirmation that my dad actually
(12:45):
lives in that house. So you then go next door,
knock on that door, and hopefully he answers and I
see my dad for the first time forever Inviner.
Speaker 13 (13:02):
Yeah, you old Manny Viner. I've been fucking waiting to
meet you.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So why am I going to my neighbor's house first?
If we go directly to where I think my father
lives with a fake pizza delivery and he doesn't answer,
that gives me nothing. And then I can have Chris
walk across the street to the neighbors and say we
have a pizza for Manny Vider, because they'll go, that's weird,
we just saw you over at his house. Also, I'm
having Chris say Manny Vider instead of Manny Veeter. My
(13:28):
last name is constantly mispronounced, so this is a little
added detail that helps sell the mix up. As a
son of a com man, I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
When you were a kid, and somebody asked, ship, what
your dad did for a living?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
What did you say?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Well, I mean he had a payphone company that was
like his main gig of legit. That was no, it
wasn't legit, but it was. He found a way to
come into that too. But I'm pretty much everything he did,
he always found a way to hustle.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Alright, am with the test.
Speaker 13 (14:02):
Check one two, check one two, check one two three,
pizza for many vider.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Okay, you're good for testing one too, testing one too.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
All right, I am good to go.
Speaker 13 (14:16):
It's a real deal, don't get n Yeah, we're going
in delivering a pizza Manny vitter viter Mani viter pizza viter.
Speaker 5 (14:26):

Speaker 1 (14:37):

I was freaking out. Then Chris and I parked and
set up to make the delivery at the neighbors.

of his s u V. And now I'm waiting, peering
through his windows with binoculars. He is approaching the house.
All right, Chris is approaching the house. The neighbors we
need them to answer. Hopefully they give us something.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Dad, Hello, we are not available now. Please leave your
name and phone number after the beat we will return
your call.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
My dad.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
It's Gary.
Speaker 5 (00:15):
I am.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I know it's been a long time, but I am
calling you because I been thinking a lot about.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Memory full.
Speaker 6 (00:27):
So I know this is like a weird question.
Speaker 7 (00:30):
I was wondering if you get out.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
So I have a number for my father, who I
haven't spoken to in like twenty four years, and I'm
not sure if it's his phone number.
Speaker 7 (00:38):
What's the Pune number?
Speaker 6 (00:39):
So it's six ' three one, what's what's his name?
Speaker 8 (00:44):
Manny Veeter?
Speaker 7 (00:47):
I mean that's the number that is showing one here.
Speaker 9 (00:54):
It's a young boy looking for his father. It's hard
to be funny in a situation like this.
Speaker 7 (00:58):
You make fun of me all the time about it. No,
I say, Gary, is that your dad over there?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (01:04):
Look nope, no, Look I wish I was your dad
and wasn't here.
Speaker 7 (01:08):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I'm on tour with my friend, comedian Nate Barghetsi. We
just finished up a show in Toronto, and I caught
Nate up on everything that's been going on with my dad.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
Since we last talked. I called my house.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Last known address he's had is my old house, but
that information is from that he lived there three years ago,
so nobody has seen him in the last three years.
Speaker 10 (01:29):
Oh really yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (01:30):
So I called the house phone.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I'm leaving a message and then the machine just cuts
off halfway through the message.
Speaker 9 (01:36):
Was it his voice on the message?
Speaker 7 (01:38):
No, it was an automated message. Yeah, I hold message?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Did you leave?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I mean I'm talking like it was just a short,
like ten second message, and then I got cut off.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
I'm like, hey, dad, this is Gary.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I just want to let you know, and then like
just cut off. So I've been trying to find somebody
who has the most recent number, but I've been striking out.
I did send him also a Facebook message and that
has turned up empty off.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
So I don't know what to do. Did you go
to the house?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I went to the house to just see, like if
there's any sign of him living there, and it looks
like a young family lives there, So I have no
idea if he lives there, but the house, like I
looked up the house, it's not in his name.
Speaker 9 (02:21):
What if he moved though, man like, because I mean
a lot of people moved out of New York and.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Maybe everyone I spoke to so far, no one has
seen him in the last three years.
Speaker 9 (02:30):
You think he's I mean he's still alive, right.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
Yeah, this is where you told me that he's there.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Yeah, I go, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
I don't know to tell you if it's scary.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I thought about him possibly being dead, but I think
he's he's alive.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
He's just hard to get in touch with clean.
Speaker 9 (02:45):
Maybe it's that family though, and they're like, we can't
be here for this old man calling for his dad. Yeah, goes,
they can let it. What if that family just screamed
at the answer machine, just let it go?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yeah, I hope you do try though.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (03:01):
I think I feel like if you track him down,
I think he's going to be in your life more
than you know, because it seems like someone like that,
they're gonna, you know, like it. And then it's like
now they can like walk in there. You're giving him some.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
I'm opening the door front. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And and he seems like a guy who wants to
take advantage of the situation. Yeah, as soon as he
sees that your name's on this.
Speaker 10 (03:26):
He might be on the bus.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (03:31):
It seems crazy that no one knows where so he
talked to does he have friends like they have lifelong
friends or.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, there's one guy, this guy Howie, and he's an option.
Have you talked to him as I sent him a message?
So hopefully he gets back to me. And then the
other big one is the local rabbi. I'm like, maybe
he still like goes to temple.
Speaker 9 (03:55):
Yeah, so so there's a good chance today it's kept
up with everything except you.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, this is number one Dad, Hey Gary, Hi, Rabbi,
how are you?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
How are you? How's everything?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Everything's good. It's been a while, long time, long time.
That's my old rabbi from Long Island, Rabbi Sacks. I
sent out emails to anyone who might still be in
touch with my father in the hopes of getting his number,
and so far he's the only one who responded. We
haven't spoken since nineteen ninety six when he helped me
with my bar mitzvah. My father was pretty religious when
(04:39):
I was growing up, so I'm hoping he and the
rabbi might still be in touch.
Speaker 11 (04:43):
I remember your dad asking me whether I would accept assignment,
and I said.
Speaker 12 (04:48):
Of course.
Speaker 11 (04:49):
He brought you in you with this skinny, little runt,
a lot of hair, and I saw you quite a bit.
I do remember at that point of time, your parent
were going through a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Yeah, it was a tough situation.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, Rabbi, when was the last time you saw my father?
Speaker 11 (05:08):
That I don't remember, but I remember your dad came
into synagogue and he said, you're not going to believe this,
but Gary is you know, he's climbing up the ladder.
When America's got talent, you should watch him.
Speaker 12 (05:20):
And he was.
Speaker 11 (05:22):
He was smiling like a cheshire cat, you know, from
every ear was. He was happy, he was proud, and
I wasn't the only one he.
Speaker 12 (05:29):
Told you know, Gary, I loved your first performance.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I thought you were terrific and you were very memorable
with your family excited that you got through the next round.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I actually didn't tell them that I got through the
next round.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
Why is that?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Just in case?
Speaker 7 (05:44):
You know, I keep on advancing.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I want to keep the money to myself.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
So that would have been twenty fifteen.
Speaker 11 (05:50):
Somewhere around there. I have a very funny recollection of
him telling me, look, you see that they're following me.
I said, who's following?
Speaker 5 (05:59):
You?
Speaker 12 (05:59):
See that car?
Speaker 11 (06:01):
Watch when I leave, they're gonna leave, I said, who
are they?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So he goes.
Speaker 11 (06:07):
They're making sure that I don't go to work. I
guess some type of sure it's work has come. I'm
not sure what, but sure enough. There was a son advisor,
so you couldn't see there was anybody in there. So
your dad got in and he smiled at me. He's
a gun in the car. I was looking from the
window and he left right away, so he knew he
(06:29):
had a tail.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, there's always some type of insurance thing going on
with him, but.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
That's my dad. That's exactly what he would do.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, Rabbi do have my father's phone number, so I can't.
Speaker 11 (06:44):
Get the number. Enough people here have his number, I can.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
Get the right one.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I so appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Thank you so much for your help with this, and
please let me know if you get that number.
Speaker 11 (06:57):
Sure of course anytime.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, waiting for the Rabbi to get back to me
with my dad's number, I actually heard from one of
the other people I had reached out to. It was
an old high school buddy of my father's, Howie Robertson,
who he met a couple of times when I was
a kid. He also happens to be a former warden
at Riker's Island.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
You give me.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Goosebumps, man, because it sounds just like it.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Really, really, he sounds just like him.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
That's the truth.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, I was gonna say, it's interesting, you know that
you say that I sound like my father because you know,
we haven't talked in twenty four years, so I don't
think he and I have spoken since my voice has changed,
so to hear that, it's weird.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I mean, there's fletching in your voice. He sounds just
like it.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Since my father and Howie were so close, I had
to ask if he had any stories to share. He
told me one about my dad having his payphone business
in a halfway house.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
It was a halfway house in Brooklyn. I knew three
guys who worked there. And listen during the time when
your father had a payphone business again, we're call him
back now before cell phones. And I had a guy
and his name is Kenneth McGriff, aka Supreme. He was
one of the biggest drug king pins in the history
(08:08):
of New York City. And Supreme and everybody petrified inside
of the buildings. Guys like Supreme, they're running their housing
they're running to jail.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Investigators say a lot of drugs moved through these two
buildings in the past six months to a year.
Speaker 12 (08:25):
They estimate that in excess of one thousand miles of
crack were sold and bought here each day.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Supreme was the founder of the Supreme Team, an organized
crime syndicate that operated out of the Baisley Projects in
South Jamaica. Queens his gang focus on the widespread distribution
of crack cocaine. At its peak in nineteen eighty seven,
the Supreme Team was making two hundred thousand dollars a day.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
No, your father would come in. We got his phones
there and they walked around talking to people. And he's
walking amongst these guys, sitting down with them, having long conversations,
and you know, everybody love them. And the guys that
I knew there that can't allow them to come in
and put the phones there to say, Man, I don't
know what your friend is doing in terms of manny,
he said, but this guy has these guys eating out
(09:11):
of his hand. But that's who he was. You know,
he didn't care who he was, what your status was,
whether you're black, white man.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
He could get down with you wow.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
But his main thing was, Hey, nobody messes with my phones.
Nobody messes with my phones. If you got to make
a phone call, do it in here. Don't go outside
and use the phone that's down the block. Use these
phones here, you know.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
So, when's the last time you talked to my dad.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
It's been a while, right before COVID hit. Yeah, so
we're going back, what three years something like that?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Do you have his phone number?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Let's have a phone number? Yes, okay, that's six y
two five?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
All right, amazing, I appreciate it. Howie, all right, buddy,
dank it bye.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I I am about to call the number that how
he gave me and hopefully talk to my dad.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I'm sorry, be killing me.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
If you're doing, have reached this recording error, len you
check the number and try to work all again.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
In one thousand feet, turn right onto Darlington Avenue.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I am on my way to Long Island once again.
And the reason is because it's been two weeks since
I started this thing, and the number how he gave
me has been disconnected. I still haven't heard back from
the Rabbi, and I still haven't heard back from my dad.
After leaving a message on what may or may not
(11:05):
be his answer machine. I guess you could add that
to the twenty four years he and I haven't spoken. So,
using my best judgment, I've decided I'm gonna do a
stake out of my child at home.
Speaker 12 (11:27):
Like sausage and Caprica.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
How you doing good?
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Coyotea A large cheese pizza.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
All right, to go?
Speaker 8 (11:37):
Please?
Speaker 7 (11:38):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
All right? We want to put this in the DoorDash bag.
Speaker 13 (11:51):
It's designed to keep it warm.
Speaker 10 (11:53):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I've enlisted the help of my friend Chris Roach. He's
going to pretend to be a DoorDash delivery guy to
get confirmation if my dad lives in my childhood home.
I'm still not sure, and I can't just go up
and ring the doorbell myself.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I see it. Well, let's see the seat.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I put my seat warmer.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
On the I feel like these people should get the best.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
We were ready.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I had a live mic, a pen mic, and a
keychain mic taped to the bottom of the door dash bag.
I wanted to make sure if Chris had contact with
my father. I didn't miss a second.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
So this is the plan.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You are gonna knock on who I think is my
dad's neighbor's door and deliver them a pizza. You're gonna say,
I have a pizza for many Vitter and hopefully they say, oh,
you know, he doesn't live here, he lives next door,
and that will give us confirmation that my dad actually
(12:45):
lives in that house. So you then go next door,
knock on that door, and hopefully he answers and I
see my dad for the first time forever Inviner.
Speaker 13 (13:02):
Yeah, you old Manny Viner. I've been fucking waiting to
meet you.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So why am I going to my neighbor's house first?
If we go directly to where I think my father
lives with a fake pizza delivery and he doesn't answer,
that gives me nothing. And then I can have Chris
walk across the street to the neighbors and say we
have a pizza for Manny Vider, because they'll go, that's weird,
we just saw you over at his house. Also, I'm
having Chris say Manny Vider instead of Manny Veeter. My
(13:28):
last name is constantly mispronounced, so this is a little
added detail that helps sell the mix up. As a
son of a com man, I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
When you were a kid, and somebody asked, ship, what
your dad did for a living?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
What did you say?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Well, I mean he had a payphone company that was
like his main gig of legit. That was no, it
wasn't legit, but it was. He found a way to
come into that too. But I'm pretty much everything he did,
he always found a way to hustle.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Alright, am with the test.
Speaker 13 (14:02):
Check one two, check one two, check one two three,
pizza for many vider.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Okay, you're good for testing one too, testing one too.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
All right, I am good to go.
Speaker 13 (14:16):
It's a real deal, don't get n Yeah, we're going
in delivering a pizza Manny vitter viter Mani viter pizza viter.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
Excited, all right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I'm messing around multiple many veater study coming at you.
I was freaking out. Then Chris and I parked and
set up to make the delivery at the neighbors.

of his s u V. And now I'm waiting, peering
through his windows with binoculars. He is approaching the house.
All right, Chris is approaching the house. The neighbors we
need them to answer. Hopefully they give us something.
