Fake Cop

About

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.

12 Uber Driver
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.Support the showHost: Brad Cartner Show Producer: Greg O’Brien Sound Engineer: Derek WelsmanGuy at the Beginning: Adam CarterFOR FULL PODCAST DETAILS, NEWS AND DIRECTORIES visit us on our MAIN WEBSITE at https://www.fakecopshow.com/Keep up to date and LIKE US ON FACEBOOK at https://www.facebook.com/sickmantalkingJoin our FACEBOOK COMMUNITY https://www.facebook.com/groups/1113434209965784/and on INSTAGRAM at https://www.instagram.com/luigivampa44/SUPPORT THE FAKE COP AThttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/sickmantalkinghttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2352199/supportQUESTIONS OR COMMENT DROP US AN EMAIL ATsickmantalking@gmail.com
11 The Mendoza Line
In this episode, the Sick Man returns with the shocking and explosive finale of the latest Fake Cop Trilogy. The Toucan Man is still on the loose and Fake Cop can’t find him. So he does something he hates more than anything: he gets introspective. So he’s going to do what he usually does: double down in the worst possible direction. Going deeper. Not into the streets, but into whatever the hell is going on inside his mind. Trying to track down the Toucan Man the only way left… by meeting him face to face. Inside… his own mind… Will that clear anything up? Probably not. Will it make things worse? Almost definitely. Will there be some kind of calm, rational understanding of reality by the end of this? No. Absolutely not. And most importantly - will he finally get rid of that body in the trunk? Yeah, actually… that one might get handled. This is a Greek tragedy in the cereal aisle. This is… The Mendoza Line.Support the showHost: Brad Cartner Show Producer: Greg O’Brien Sound Engineer: Derek WelsmanGuy at the Beginning: Adam CarterFOR FULL PODCAST DETAILS, NEWS AND DIRECTORIES visit us on our MAIN WEBSITE at https://www.fakecopshow.com/Keep up to date and LIKE US ON FACEBOOK at https://www.facebook.com/sickmantalkingJoin our FACEBOOK COMMUNITY https://www.facebook.com/groups/1113434209965784/and on INSTAGRAM at https://www.instagram.com/luigivampa44/SUPPORT THE FAKE COP AThttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/sickmantalkinghttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2352199/supportQUESTIONS OR COMMENT DROP US AN EMAIL AT
