I think it was real. Seriously, the John Jay and Rich show on Z100 do this all the time. They have someone on the show who thinks their significant other is cheating. They have their female co-host call and pretend to be a flower company. They ask where the guy wants to send the flowers, if he sends them to his GF or wife, it exonerates him, but if he sends it to his mistress....... it's on. I've heard some epic breakups on that show and usually the gf/bf stay on the line for a good amount of time. I think it's because they're so stunned by what is happening.
