Those who work in live television every day learn quickly how to keep their cool in all kinds of situations. Every once in awhile, however, something happens on air that throws even the most seasoned television anchors for such a loop that they can’t help but descend into giggle fits. That’s exactly what happens in the video below this story!

During a live broadcast on Global Calgary in Canada, meteorologist Jordan Witzel became confused when he saw that the “ParticiPACTION 150 Play List” activity of the day that he had to present was “swinging.” This initiative was meant to get Canadians out and doing 150 different activities this year in honor of Canada’s 150th anniversary, and the activity on this particular day meant children going out to swing on the swings on playgrounds.

Witzel’s mind, however, went right to the gutter. He assumed that this meant swinging as in a “party” for adults, and he could not believe that he was actually supposed to present this as an activity for Canadians to partake in as a celebration of their nation’s anniversary!

“I can’t do this … What?” he began.

“Go to the dollar store and get a fishbowl,” Witzel continued, seemingly starting to describe a key party before the shoe finally dropped. “Oh swinging at a playground.”

His cohosts Scott Fee and Amber Schinkel could not help but completely burst out laughing at what their colleague had just said. 

“Yeah I know what you’re talking about, unfortunately,” said Fee, to which Witzel responded, “Either way you get your activity in for the day, I guess.”

“Good cardio,” Fee agreed with a laugh.
