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.
In this episode, Fake Cop returns for the shocking and explosive final chapter of the latest Fake Cop Trilogy, Frontier Fake Cop: Part III Dead Eye Dolan gets his shot. Fake Cop gets his gun - from a very unconventional holster. Jasper Creed gets… exposed. Karate is involved. So is Connor McDavid. Again. This is Frontier Fake Cop: Part III - Bottoms Up.

13 Fake Cop: Part I. You ain’t from around here
In this episode, Fake Cop returns for Part I of the shocking and explosive new Fake Cop Trilogy: Frontier Fake Cop. Fake Cop wakes up in a Wild West town called Devil’s Kettle in 1887 - no explanation, no room temperature water, no Froot Loops, no pizza, but somehow a hockey league. He gets arrested for existing too loudly, and he totally doesn’t use his shoelaces to strangle somebody. Or maybe he does. Kind of. Sort of. Allegedly. This is Frontier Fake Cop: Part I. You ain’t from...
