CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Justin Bender is a technical engineer in languages who helped save a language.
Justin: Yeah.
Alex: Where? And what language?
Justin: Sure. So I worked with speakers of Amazigh, which is an indigenous language of Morocco. It's--it's not necessarily in danger of dying out, but it's very politically disfavored in Morocco. And I helped them not only to make the case that it should be taught and have equal status as a language, but also helped to develop some teaching materials to continue teaching the language.
Alex: Is it only oral? Or is it a written language as well?
Justin: No, it's a written language as well. They have a script called Neo-Tifinagh, which they got from stones in the desert, basically, and reinvented.
Alex: Neo-Tifinagh. Yes, I'm very familiar with that.
[Laughter]
Alex: Liz Hutchens. Registered nurse from South Carolina who didn't do a good job...
[Liz laughs.]
Alex: ...in her first experience with snowmobile. I'm going to make the assumption that it didn't happen in South Carolina.
Liz: No, I grew up in North Dakota.
Alex: Ah.
Liz: And my family decided to take some snowmobiles up to Bottineau, North Dakota. I was about 4 or 5. And at the end of the trip, my dad said, "Well hey, I'll let my 5-year-old daughter try to get this up on the trailer." So he's standing right next to me. I had my hand--he's like, "Just squeeze it. Just give it a little touch," and boy did I. We went off the trailer into a snowbank. I was fine, but the next thing I heard was my mom yelling for my dad, not in a good way.
[Laughter]
Alex: Yep. Dads do stupid things.
[Liz laughs.]
Alex: Andrew Lee is our champion. He was charged by some wild animals while on safari in Africa.
Andrew: Yes.
Alex: What are we talking about? Cape buffalo? Elephants? Rhinos?
Andrew: Nothing that exciting.
Alex: Aw.
Andrew: There were impalas. But their horns were, like, very big and sharp, so it was still scary.
Alex: I've seen the Chevrolet commercials. I know how their horns look.
[Laughter]
