"I think you've done enough damage, Michael."
The words of 4FM presenter Niall Boylan, who thought he was speaking to a man who had admitted on national radio that he had cheated on his wife with many of her friends.
Well, it turns out it was all a hoax, courtesy of Dublin man Michael McLoughlin.
Michael told the Examiner that he hadn't planned to go so far with it, but the prank took on a life of its own when social media took over.
Yes,
we fell for it too.
"I actually wanted to talk about the previous topic, which was about jobs. I wanted to say I had gotten three jobs in the past three months but they moved on so I chatted about the new topic, which was about defending people having affairs," Michael says.
Not planned
"It wasn't a planned prank, I just came up with it on the spot.
"Niall asked if I'd tell on a friend if I knew he was cheating so I said no, sure haven't I had three affairs myself. It just exploded from there."
And as for the women who went on air?
"They were all friends of mine that rang up. I rang a few of them and they were more than happy to help me out with it.
"I couldn't believe some of the abuse I was getting about it on social media. Reading the comments on Facebook I was shocked people actually fell for it. That's why I rang my friends and got them to involved too when the Niall Boylan Show asked me to go back on air.
"People will believe anything."
