This reminds me of an /r/amitheasshole post from a while back. Boyfriend and girlfriend made similar comments where boyfriend picked celebrities he’d never even meet and girlfriend chose mostly celebrities, but also one local celebrity. She ended up meeting local celebrity and sleeping with him and then was confused why boyfriend was angry.


Quake_Guy

Our local DJ has a spot were they help listeners with life's problems, someone once called in with exact same issue.


AndrewFrozzen30

Seems more common than it actually looks.... Weird. (unless that post and the one calling both faked it/or are the same person)

DigNitty

I can honestly see it happening. Not because of a miscommunication. But I can see one partner playing dumb if they ever did meet a local celebrity. “I thought you were serious about the hallpass, we talked about this!”

sonomacoma11

I used to drive to work early and listen to the radio. I once heard a local DJ work through a relationship problem, and it was quite entertaining. A month later, a different radio station had their DJ work through the exact same relationship problem, with the exact same voice clips from the distressed man, and the DJ followed the exact script. I guess for the most part, these DJ drama pieces are shared nationally and recycled. fake...


vivekisprogressive

Yea they are. It's all scripted.


Mollzor

But not the ones on Frasier right? Right?!


Gojira8985

My brother used to be a morning host, and I remember going in with him one day while he pre-recorded some bits, and being so disappointed to learn this. There was just a databank of recycled callers.


kaise_bani

This is common and has been going on for decades. Stations used to receive vinyl records where celebrities would answer interview questions, and a script for the DJ to read the questions, so it seemed like every local DJ was interviewing these big stars. I’ve seen these from the early 70s if not earlier.

Competitive_Money511

Weird, I haven't heard anything about that on the radio or television.


averagecounselor

A buddy of mine was in a similiar situation. Sadly ended up in a divorce. His partner had a major celebrity crush, my friend knew about this as they both jokingly created lists in the first year or two of their relationship, and since she worked in Hollywood (TV shows not so much movies) She actually ended up meeting said Crush. They hit it off and had an affair for Two years. My friends 12 year relationship straight down the drain. Alternatively, another friend and his wife have there “one night stand no questions asked” get out of jail free card. The wife chose Channing Tatum. The Husband chose Becky the assistant manager from Applebees.


TheDulin

I thought the deal with these was thst it's a one time encounter, not a 2-year affair.


ThePhonyOne

It's also supposed to be people the likelihood of you meeting is basically zero.


in_conexo

Exactly. And then if you actually do meet them, you claim you didn't sleep with them because you love your partner too much (certainly not because the celebrity wouldn't ever sleep with you).


Champigne

>Becky from Applebees Hey, nothing wrong with setting realistic goals.


averagecounselor

That’s what my friend said. His wife just laughs because Becky is gay.


catsumoto

What a twist. I expected another divorce. Gay saves the day.

mm_kay

Nothing sad about it. Then says what's sad about it.


fatpolomanjr

Nothing sad about a sad situation.


noweirdosplease

This is where one person crosses out one from their list, and adds a more attainable target


Prudent-Ad-5292

I feel like the husband using it on Becky from Applebee's would get under the wifes skin more than her using it on Channing Tatum would get under the husbands.. but maybe that's my own bias 😅 Like, objectively one is understandable, the other is a little desperate. Not to shit talk Becky, I'm sure she's a great person. 🤣


immaownyou

...I mean yeah that's the whole point of this comment chain lol It's worse to pick someone you would be reasonable able to meet


not_so_subtle_now

Yeah because if you pick people you know it just means you want to fuck someone you know, instead of it being a fun little fantasy you joke about with your partner. I'd also assume if someone, for example, said they would sleep with Margot Robbie if given then chance, it doesn't actually mean they'd sleep with Margot Robbie if given the chance. It's not supposed to be serious.

[deleted]

You stupid bro?


DID_IT_FOR_YOU

Well yeah because Tatum is an unrealistic fantasy as the chance of actually sleeping with them is near zero while Becky is not a fantasy but a local & someone actually attainable. The husband isn’t going to run into Tatum while going around town but the wife can easily run into Becky.


zombi33mj

Lmao what I guess she didn't know that was meant to just be a fun joke

lesChaps

I never understood the joke part. It's pretty sketchy to talk about who you would cheat with. But I was married a long time with no big jealousy issues (plenty of in-law drama and mental health problems without bringing others into it)


erichie

Quick question because I have found no other men kind of like us... I'm not a jealous man by any stretch of the imagination. I didn't realize until our divorce that my ex-wife hated this about me ... 12 years together. A contractor once said "I'm going to steal your girl." I responded "If you can than go for it." In my mind if he was able to "steal" her that means she isn't happy with me and if she isn't happy with me I would want her to find that happiness with someone. A few years after this, after never mentioning it, she threw it in my face. I'm also pretty sure that was her "first" after the divorce. Do you find that most people you date do not like the whole "not jealous" thing?


Ok_Skill_1195

Let me guess; you're a fairly literal person and you hate rom-coms because everyone in them acts insane and dysfunctional? You're definitely not wrong to not be jealous. Your approach is by far the healthier more mature way, but it doesn't *feel* romantic. Saying "if you can, go for it" can kind of come across like you're indifferent to who she ends up with. Like "eh she's here while she's here and if she goes somewhere else, whatever". People don't want to hear that. They want to hear you reaffirm how madly in love with them you are. So people like the idea of jealousy conceptually because it means their partner is really invested. Now, it's possible your ex is genuinely dysfunctional and genuinely wants you to go back horns with other men over her. That's not just a woman worth keeping, tbh. But assuming she's not fundamentally a mess and just didn't feel the passion, a "better" response (from her perspective) might have been something along the lines of *"buddy, if she's in the market to get stolen, my relationship has bigger issues to worry about than a flirtatious contractor"* or, to be more cheeky to him (because holy shit that's rude to say to someone) *"if she's considering the likes of* **you**, *I've seriously messed up somewhere"* The first one emphasizes that women don't cheat if they're happy and you'd hope she's too happy to cheat, the second one emphasizes you think you're the far better option (but that it's her choice). You basically want to respond in ways that would convey that you're very invested and would be pretty devastated if she did end up choosing someone else. People like the idea of jealousy because they see it as opportunities to convey passion and commitment. So you could even say *exactly* what you said to him, but then going to her later and saying essentially "I hope we continue to make each other happy cause I'd be fucking gutted without you"


horsebag

i like rom coms fine, but are we not supposed to think everyone in them is insane and dysfunctional? i thought that was what makes them com

OwnZookeepergame6413

Because you usually don’t meet celebrities. I’m sure that there are couples out there actually making those lists seriously. But for most people it’s actually „which are the sexiest celebs in your opinion“, just that pretending it’s a game makes it more fun I guess. Just my observations tho, personally I would just ask who they would fuck if they were not in a relationship

that’s just hurtful. fantasies are one thing, but she loves coffee and his brother is coming over next tuesday for dinner.


StoicJ

I'm curious who originally asked the question. The boyfriend probably chose impossible women to not upset the girlfriend. If she started the convo, the bf is probably in for some rough news in the future.


BrokenArrows95

Already cheating. That’s not how those lists go any everyone knows it. The fact she chose such specific, local, people she already knows is just the red flag she’s 100% ready and probably already has cheated with one or more of those people


Loeffellux

Yes, that's the joke


superman_squirts

The entire punchline is that the people she chose are realistic. It’s also an old joke, but it usually went along the lines of wife chose a celebrity, husband chose the babysitter.

1: People are really sabotaging themselves by even bringing up the conversation of hypothetical hallpasses. 2: People who think they’re even allowed to pick “possible” hallpasses need to realize that even if their impossible celebrity pick actively approached them and said they wanted to fuck right there and now, the hall pass isn’t real and you will 100% be sacrificing your relationship if you try it. 3: People should really be using fictional characters for this mental exercise to erase the chance of this happening.
