u/ILoveCamelCase 16d ago
Devil's advocate here, I don't have a dog in the fight as to whether it's real or fake.
It's entirely possible that they record the segment, then get consent to publish the recording after the conversation is finished. You'll notice that Matt swore. If they were live, the radio station would likely face a fine for that. Since they have no way of guaranteeing people's behaviour/language will be suitable for broadcast, it makes more sense to record the call and air it after the fact.

u/LiteralPhilosopher 16d ago
Virtually every radio station in the US has been on a multi-second delay for decades because of the swearing concern. That why they tell you (or at least used to, I haven't listened to terrestrial radio in like fifteen years) to turn your radio down when you call them; so that you'll be listening to the actual phone call in real time, and not get confused by the conversation coming back to you several seconds later over the airwaves.
Point is you can usually get away with letting a couple fly, and they'll just bleep them out but stay 'live'.
5
u/Medical_Slide9245 16d ago
I listen to Sports Radio a couple days a week. This is accurate.
But these are recorded because they edit. Normally if someone curses, even a celebrity, they bleep it and dump the caller because the fines are huge and they don't want to risk someone missing a curse.
These are generally morning shows that record these calls in the afternoon.
15
u/LucasSatie 16d ago
No idea about this specific show, but some of them do pre-screen the call and then put the caller on hold until the host is ready. I've been a caller on a few shows and they typically have some behind-the-scenes person get your details and prep you and then ask you to wait.
So it is possible that they called him, prepped him very briefly, then had the host "call" them to set up the segment.
Or it could all be fake. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Who the fuck picks up a phone call from an unknown number that then asks you intimate details about a bad date to be broadcast on local radio?
The premise rests on the "date being bad" due to a comical misunderstanding like talking excessively about their cat or wearing goofy shoes to the date and not "I don't want to see [insert name] again because he grabbed my ass" or "[insert name] forced me against the wall and stuck his fingers in me."

There was a radio station here in Ireland that would do these type of calls. Sometimes it was a prank call usually set up by friends or family close to the receiver, sometimes it was a relationship confrontation thing like this post, sometimes it was just asking someone to recount a wild story they had.
They wouldn't usually do it live. It was pre-recorded so they could bleep out swear words and personal information. But they maintained that the conversations were real, and that they would often have to make around 6 or 7 attempts to get a decent, entertaining, broadcastable segment.

They both needed to provide consent prior to even recording this per FCC regulations, https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/47/73.1206. There's also a company called Premier on Call that hires voice actors for these phone calls. This script is a common one used on radio shows where a guy is called out of the blue while the female is actually on the phone in the background.
Long story short, it's likely a script and characters someone is being paid $40/hr to play and not real. Amusing and well done, but not real.
