This is 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?
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.

Have you ever thought about going voiceover?
I'm Hope Woodard, a comedian, creator, and seeker of male validation.
I'm also the girl behind voiceover, the movement that exploded in 2024.
You might hear that term and think it's about celibacy, but to me, voiceover is about understanding
yourself outside of sex and relationships.
It's flexible, it's customizable, and it's a personal process.
Singleness is not a waiting room. You are actually at the party right now.
Let me hear it.
Listen to voiceover on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
or wherever you get your podcasts.
I've seen a lot of stuff over 30 years, you know, some very despicable crime and things that are kind of tough
to wrap your head around.
And this ranks right up there
in the pantheon of Rhode Island fraudsters.
I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right?
And I maximized that while I was lying.
Listen to deep cover cover The Truth About Sarah on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
A lot of times big economic forces show up in our lives in small ways.
Four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding, but the price has gone up.
So now I only buy one.
two cups of banana pudding, but the price has gone up. So now I only buy one.
Small but important ways from tech billionaires to the bond market to, yeah, banana pudding. If it's happening in business, our new podcast is on it. I'm Max Chaston.
And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith. So listen to everybody's business on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
It's time for To Catch a Cheater and it's been a week.
Seriously, this is day four of us trying to get this guy Matt on the phone.
So real quick, here's what happened.
We first did a To Catch a Cheater with Taylor and Matt.
And this is how that went.
So Matt and I have been together for like three years, but only have been living
together for like three years, but only have been living together
for like six months.
And he recently got a job promotion that has had him travel a lot.
And he came on to like perfume and now I'm concerned.
No Taylor like I'm not cheating on you.
Like this isn't anything devious I'm trying to do.
Yeah, like I love you and I want to be with you forever.
And I know we'll get through this in a moment.
Okay, I'm just, I'm so sorry.
I'm thinking that you would have cheated on me.
And then right after we hung up with Taylor,
this happened.
Samantha?
Hi, yes.
I've been trying to call in this like entire time.
Okay.
What's that?
So that sounds identical to my, no, that, that is my husband.
What?
That's my, I'm like, I'm so confused.
I'm shaking.
I don't know what's going on.
I, I don't know why my husband's on the radio with you guys.
So the call that we just did with.
Yeah.
And then he's saying he's saying he's married to this woman.
I don't understand.
That's my husband.
And then we got the two of them on the phone.
They compared notes and it's the same guy.
So yesterday we tried to call him and have them confront him
but then this happened.
Hey, I was looking for Matt.
Oh, Matt must be the owner of this phone.
I work at Jamba Juice and somebody left his phone here maybe an hour ago.
And so I was answering it hoping it was the person.
Jamba Juice in what city?
Tucson, Arizona. Campbell Plaza.
Oh, what the f*** is Matt doing in Arizona?
So now we don't even know why he's in Tucson.
Why?
When he told Samantha, his wife of five years, that he's in California, and Taylor, his girlfriend
of three years, that he's in New York, he's in Tucson.
And so we set it up today where we know we'll get him on the phone because this happened.
A lot of people want follow-ups to catch a cheater, especially when they're happy.
They want to check in on the happy couple.
Right. I email him today and say, hey, we want to do a follow-up with you that way. He knows he's talking to the show
He's gonna answer the phone. Okay, we want to get you on and we want to talk about how great it is to celebrate non-cheaters
Yeah, get him on
So producer Brad sent the email saying that we're gonna check in with him and Taylor and Taylor you're there, right?
Yeah, okay. So Taylor's there Samantha. You're there. Yep. Okay, and
Producer Brad sent the email seems all good. Yeah, I heard back everything. Okay all good to go. Okay
All right
so we're about to call him and do a cute little check-in to see how things are going and then
Let you talk to him for a things are going and then let you
talk to him for a little bit, Taylor. And then I think it should go like, Taylor, you
can bring on Samantha whenever you feel like you guys can do whatever you want. Go at him.
Yeah. Are you guys, are you guys ready? How do you feel?
I feel I'm ready to just let him have it. Like I have all this energy and like I've
been, you know, haven't been able to tell him about it. So like I'm, I'm, I'm ready to just let him have it. Like, I have all this energy and like, I've been, you know,
haven't been able to tell him about it.
So, like, I'm ready to just like,
hear what he has to say and just..
He is gonna be shook.
I'm dying to hear what he has to say too,
because it's gonna be hilarious.
I mean, this dude has been
cheating on his wife for five years
with his girlfriend of three years.
He's told him he's a different place.
He's in Tucson.
We know all that.
And he's about to find out
that both of them know everything.
Okay, you guys ready?
Yeah. Yeah.
All right, we're gonna play a song,
come back and make our call
in here to catch Cheater next.
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.
Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes.
He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community.
She said you left bruises, pulled her hair,
that type of thing.
No.
How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future.
This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception, lies that left those closest to him
questioning everything they thought they knew.
Listen to Betrayal on the iHeart radio app,
Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Have you ever thought about going voiceover?
I'm Hope Woodard, a comedian, creator,
and seeker of male validation.
To most people, I'm the girl behind VoiceOver,
the movement that exploded in 2024.
VoiceOver is about understanding yourself outside of sex and relationships.
It's more than personal.
It's political, it's societal, and at times,
it's far from what I originally intended it to be.
These days, I'm interested in expanding what it means to be voiceover,
to make it customizable for anyone who feels the need to explore their relationship to relationships.
I'm talking to a lot of people who will help us think about how we love each other. It's a very, very normal experience to have times
where a relationship is prioritizing other parts
of that relationship that are being naked together.
How we love our family.
I've spent a lifetime trying to get my mother to love me,
but the price is too high.
And how we love ourselves.
Singleness is not a waiting room.
You are actually at the party right now.
Let me hear it. Yes.
Listen to VoiceOver on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
She was a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, a hero.
She was stoic, modest, tough, someone who inspired people. Everyone thought they knew her until they didn't.
I remember sitting on her couch and asking her, is this real? Is this real? Is this real? Is this
real? I just couldn't wrap my head around what kind of person would do that to another person that was getting treatment, that was, you know, dying.
This is a story all about trust and about a woman named Sarah Kavanaugh.
I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right?
And I maximized that while I was lying.
Listen to Deep Cover, The Truth About Sarah on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or
wherever you get your podcasts.
A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives
in small ways.
Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding,
but the price has gone up, so now I only buy one.
The demand curve in action,
and that's just one of the things we'll be covering
on everybody's business from Bloomberg Business Week.
I'm Max Chafkin.
And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith.
Every Friday, we will be diving
into the biggest stories in business,
taking a look at what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday lives.
With guests like Businessweek editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams, and consumer
spending expert Amanda Mull, we'll take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms, even
the signal chats that make our economy tick.
Hey, I want to learn about VeChain.
I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing.
So listen to everybody's business on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Right in the middle of To Catch a
Cheater. And if you're just joining
us, this has been a four day long
thing of us trying to get this guy
Matt on the phone because we did a
To Catch a Cheater with Taylor, his
girlfriend of three years.
They just moved in together six
months ago the other day,
and seemed like everything was fine.
Right after we hung up with Taylor, Samantha called in,
and Samantha is the dude's wife.
She's like, I recognize that voice,
that's my husband of five years.
We got the two of them on the phone,
they compared notes, and it is that guy.
And yesterday we tried to call him with both of them,
and he told his wife that he's in California in San Diego
And he told Taylor that he's in New York, but we called and he left his phone at a Jamba Juice
in Arizona like what out of all the places to get caught so he's in Tucson, Arizona right now
But we told him today we wanted to get him back on the phone
So we could do it check in a little update with him and Taylor because it was so cute. Mm-hmm
So so cute. Yeah, so first when we call him Taylor
We'll just play it off like it's the little update thing and then you can bring on Samantha whenever you want. Okay?

Tucson, what do you mean?
You told me you were in New York.
You. Yeah, I'm not in Tucson, babe.

Well, the job of the person from yesterday who answered your phone

I like, I don't believe you at this point.
I don't believe a single thing you said.
Does Tucson know that you're married and have a girlfriend also?
