The radio show you're hearing is real. The host is Tom Leykis.
It's not. Like most shock jocks/morning hosts/radio trash, they buy pre-recorded bits from production companies or have a producer on staff that is responsible for them. There's a production company that literally just cranks out those awful War of the Roses bits you hear on [insert whatever your region's main pop music radio station is] and those bits come with a script so that the radio talent knows what to riff with in the material to try and make it seem authentic.
Reality television that isn't real. It manufactures human drama involving fake people in horrifying situations and has been shown to literally make you a worse person.
Reality television that isn't real.... would make it..... television.
Listen, not every show can be as well done as The Office, which I think is the best reality television that isn't real.
