Off On A Tangent

I was watching Dateline on NBC, and Stone Phillips was on top of 30 Rock I guess, because of the Anthrax, and it was daytime. He introduced the next story, and the tape rolled.

I turned to my wife and said, "Hey, that wasn't live!"
She said, "It's all taped. Didn't you know that?"

Hmm... No I didn't. I guess I never thought about whether Stone Phillips' leadins were live or not.

I said, "I thought it was live."
She said, "You think The Real World is Real too."

Huh?
