Great segment on My58TV's morning show. Every Thursday, meteorologist Dirk Verdoorn answers a viewer weather question. Today's query: "What is rain?"
What captivated me most was the teacher-pupil vibe going on between Dirk and anchors Chris Riva and Adrienne Bankert. They all played their parts to perfection: Dirk the wise, somewhat condescending, professor; Bankert the smarty-pants A student who knows all the answers and tries to impress teacher; and Riva the deer-in-the-headlights slacker who came to class unprepared.
Excerpt:
Dirk: "The water cycle. Are you familiar with that?"
Bankert: "I remember that."
(Riva: blank stare)
After Dirk explains it all, Bankert enthuses: "Looks just like what we saw in third grade."
Still later, Bankert gushed: "How do you know all this stuff?"
Riva, deadpanning: "He's a meteorologist."
