Summary

Lee King spilled the beans on his family's secret—leading to his father’s arrest. Hannah’s boyfriend, Lee King, is hiding a big secret; and it’s not just about his multiple fiances. It turns out his father, “Fast” Eddie Maher is an international fugitive. Fast Eddie, an international fugitive, was on the run for 20 years until his son gave him up. Today’s episode was brought to us by a long-time PRETEND listener, Kim Evans. Kim knew her daughter’s new boyfriend was no good. So, she did everything in her power to expose him. It turns out, he was hiding a secret that would eventually lead to the arrest of his father, Eddie Maher. What’s your PRETEND story?

0:14.4	get to meet this new man in her daughter's life. It was time to meet the
0:18.7	parents. Lee impressed us. I mean he was just or no sir shake our hands. Look
0:26.2	us in the eye. And so our first meeting in June I was like oh maybe Hannah found
0:31.0	somebody. Lee King was tall had a buzz cut and looked like he was once muscular
0:36.6	and in good shape but maybe had a few biscuits. You know what I mean? He's not a
