In this episode, Fake Cop returns in an absurd satire of the 1976 film Taxi Driver. Working nights as a deeply unqualified Uber driver in Newmarket, Ontario, he descends into obsession while battling unleashed dogs, a collapsing Uber rating, hockey players, local politics, and his own questionable grip on reality. Taxi Driver collides with suburban Ontario in the latest Fake Cop story. This is Uber Driver. Five stars or else. Featuring the very popular Steve Hughes as the Mayor of Newmarket.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2609939/support">Support the show</a>Host: Brad Cartner Show Producer: Greg O’Brien Sound Engineer: Derek WelsmanGuy at the Beginning: Adam Carter FOR FULL PODCAST DETAILS, NEWS AND DIRECTORIES visit us on our MAIN WEBSITE at <a href='https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7117757584682317765/327311981518330039#'>https://www.fakecopshow.com/</a> Keep up to date and LIKE US ON FACEBOOK at <a href='https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7117757584682317765/327311981518330039#'>https://www.facebook.com/sickmantalking</a>Join our FACEBOOK COMMUNITY <a href='https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7117757584682317765/327311981518330039#'>https://www.facebook.com/groups/1113434209965784/</a>and on INSTAGRAM at <a href='https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7117757584682317765/327311981518330039#'>https://www.instagram.com/luigivampa44/</a> SUPPORT THE FAKE COP AT<a href='https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7117757584682317765/327311981518330039#'>https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sickmantalking</a><a href='https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7117757584682317765/327311981518330039#'>https://www.buzzsprout.com/2352199/support</a> QUESTIONS OR COMMENT DROP US AN EMAIL AT<a href='https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7117757584682317765/327311981518330039#'>sickmantalking@gmail.com  </a>

Brad Cartner

Originally featured on Brad Cartner’s pod show Sick Man Talking, these episodes are now appearing here in a dedicated companion series focused entirely on Fake Cop. In 2006, Brad bought a retired Ontario Provincial Police cruiser under questionable circumstances from a used car lot that shouldn’t have existed. Brad became Fake Cop, and the ongoing decline of Newmarket, Ontario is widely considered to have started that day. Part surreal crime saga, part fractured mythology, Fake Cop follows an escalating chain of disasters stretching from suburban Canada to Los Angeles and beyond. A darkly comic fever dream where every decision could’ve been avoided, but wasn’t.
