Having someone geek out over something unexpectedly cool is one of life's little pleasures. That's especially true if the person is normally on the more reserved and professional side - like a newscaster, for example.

Their moment of shameless joy can become a contagious little bit of wholesome in everyone's day.


You'd think there's not much in the way of "unexpectedly cool" left to discover when you've been on the job for over a decade, but tech is constantly changing.

Enter meteorologist Greg Dutra. He's been an on-air personality for over a decade, and been with ABC since 2019, so he's not exactly new to the job.

He is, however, new to the touch screen.

Dutra's broadcast went adorably off-book when he accidentally tapped the screen he normally uses during broadcasts.

Evidently he had never done that before because he was caught completely off guard by the fact that his map moved.

The attempt at maintaining professional stoicism lasted about .08 seconds before Dutra couldn't hold back his grin.

The next few moments of the broadcast were part news, part playing-with-the-new-toy. Co-hostTerrell Brown jumped in on the action for a moment, sharing the joy.

Because this happened during a live broadcast, viewers got to share in the joy as well.

So did Twitter! People loved his tweet of the clip, mostly because it was so relatable.

The people get it, Greg.





Think back. When was the last time a day at the office/school/house resulted in something bringing you this much joy?

If you're a celebrity's kid, you just can't win. Use your family's pull and you're a "nepo baby"; try to fundraise to start your own business and you're a shady grifter.

At least, that's how one celebrity spawn seems to feel.

Treasury Secretary Shows Off New $100 Bills With Trump's Signature—And Critics Have Thoughts

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent did not get a positive response after appearing on Fox News host Jesse Watters' program to show off bills that include President Donald Trump's signature set to enter circulation soon in honor of the nation’s 250th birthday.

Federal law generally prohibits depicting living people on U.S. currency. However, the Treasury Department has argued that the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, which Trump signed during his first term, provides the administration with legal authority to make an exception for commemorative designs tied to the nation's semiquincentennial celebrations.

Alison Hammond reacted to seeing Prince Harry the same way many people probably would—she just happened to do it on live television. In a matter of seconds, the live segment transformed into a decidedly Prince Charming encounter between the presenter and the royal.

Hammond was in her hometown of Birmingham on Friday to speak with the Duke of Sussex about the Invictus Games, which will arrive in the city next year. The interview, however, briefly became secondary the moment she spotted Prince Harry approaching from behind.
