A Florida weatherman was recently interrupted while attempting to deliver the forecast live from home when his well-meaning but attention-seeking golden retriever sabotaged the shot.
FOX WTVT’s meteorologist, Paul Dellegatto, teasingly scolded his dog, Brody, when the pup wandered into the makeshift studio and crashed his owner's broadcast with hilarious results.
That is, until Brody decided it was snack time and came looking for his owner to provide him with some treats. But during his quest for food, he managed to sufficiently throw off Dellegatto's entire forecast.
“The map’s not gonna move because he just whacked the computer with his head, so let me just verbalize the forecast, OK," the meteorologist tells viewers as he instructs an oblivious Brody to climb up onto his lap, “That wasn’t very smart."
Meanwhile, Brody, who obviously isn't such a big weather fan himself, looks around the studio, indulges in Dellegatto's generous scratches, and even yawns at one point.
"Didn't mean to keep you up," Dellegatto quips dryly before pressing on.
Well, until his furry little head pops up in front of the camera, giving the mysterious object a curious sniff and a good once over while the anchors in the studio laugh.
"Don't take this the wrong way, Paul," a woman off-screen says, "but this is amazing. I love it."
The woman in the studio perfectly summarizes all of our feelings towards the hilarious interruption when she says, "We don't need to look at that forecast map. We'll just look at Brody."
Honestly, if every weather segment went this way, I just might actually check in to hear the forecast more often.
"If we don’t come out of this with pet-featured forecasts, what are we even doing," one Twitter user wrote, prompting another to reply, "Right? Why did it take a pandemic to bring us this?"
"Why have we been doing news any other way?" this person implored, "What idiocy made us build sterile studios? I want to see everyone in their pajamas with their pets and a glass of wine telling me how stupid everything is."
"Brody should have his own segment," this user proclaimed, "Y'all just cut to Brody for 2min/day report on what he's doing. 'And now for a special report we cut to #Brody what's he doing?' 'Taking a nap.' 'Awww...' One of his legs twitch. 'What's Brody dreaming about?' 'IDK.' '...and now Sports!'"
I don't know about you guys, but I'd definitely watch that.
