Call zone media. Welcome back to Behind the Bastards, podcast hosted by who I assume is the new pope based on reading the first two-thirds of an article title that showed up in my phone the other day. How long is this bit going to go on for is my question.

Exactly one more episode, Sophie. I have slightly more bit to do here. I think it's for life, right? Well, yeah, that is how it tends. Well, no, that one guy got to quit. The Nazi. That's true. Nazis, famous quitters. So we are joined once again by Sophie Rae Lichterman and Blake Wessler, our guest for today. Blake, how are you doing? I'm doing great. I can't wait to hear more about this guy.

Yeah. Well, I can't wait to figure out my Pope name. I've been thinking about it, right? What am I going to do? Who am I going to be as Pope? Because every Pope gets to pick a name. You're going to be Pope Sophie. No, no, no. I figured it out, Sophie. I think I'm going to have a lot more fun if my Pope name is just the whole script to be movie. Oh, my God.

Just going to really take that bit to its ultimate extent. Oh, my God. Just destroy the computing systems at the Vatican. Oh, my God. The entire Catholic Church's online infrastructure falls apart. Priest with Chromebooks just lighting on fire in rectories. It's going to be beautiful. B-movie, 90% improvised though. So I don't know how long the script is. Seinfeld did a lot of improv in that.

I do know how long the script is because it's been printed on a number of t-shirts at this point. Oh my God, that's amazing. It's an older meme, but it checks out. You're listening to an iHeart Podcast.

I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. How far would he go to cover up what he'd done?

137.241 - 144.705 Unknown

The fact that you lied is absolutely horrific. And quite frankly, I question how many other women are out there that may bring forward allegations in the future.

Something unexpected happened after Jeremy Scott confessed to killing Michelle Schofield in Bone Valley Season 1. Every time I hear about my dad, it's, oh, he's a killer. He's just straight evil. I was becoming the bridge between Jeremy Scott and the son he'd never known. At the end of the day, I'm literally a son of a killer.
