Every once and a while

Whenever a news story comes on about the US or Canada, or a musician or actor we remember from there comes on TV, TFG and I get very interested. Being able to have a moment or two that reminds us of home is really key to surviving homesickness!
That is why when Jason Mraz was on the morning show this week, we were glued to to the television, and hilarity ensued. The hosts, Koshi and Mel, didn't seem to give two shits about Jason or his music and were just filling time before the next segment. They seemed so disinterested that they didn't realize the joke that occurred or it's a case of North American slang not having the same meaning.
In a frightening case of reality/blog crossover, Mraz blogged about the same television incident:

2 is the magic number

...
Tv anchor lady: Good morning Australia! Coming up after a look at our national forecast, American writer/songsinger Jason Mraz performs for us. Don’t’ go away.

Jason: Blah blah blah blah, it’s all about the airplay… (sung to the tune of wordplay)

Mr. TV man: So Jason, your second album, number 2, was it hard getting this one out?

Jason: (pause… a look of disbelief)…

An amazing opportunity stood before our hero. There was only a 7 second delay between our live, on-air antics and what would be seen on televisions in pool halls and retirement communities across the continent. The anchor had unknowingly laid the bait for Jason, the morning news otaku.

Jason: The number 2? Yes, it was hard getting the number 2 out. But I think it’s made quite a splash.

Tv anchor lady: Blah blah blah blah (Turns to Toca)

Toca: Uhhhhhhh…. (using up the entire 7 second delay bringing Tv full speed ahead into the present. So much for that day light savings delay due to the commonwealth games.)

Mr. TV man: We’ll be right back.
