CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Travis Rojakovick is his name, and he plays in a 1980s baseball--
Travis: 1860s. Even further back.
Alex: What?
Travis: Yeah, and we play--it's a very different game. No gloves, underhand pitching, no called balls or strikes. It's just a lot of middle-aged guys having a lot of fun, so it's a good time.
Alex: Terrific.
Alex: Vaishali Shetty from Melville, New York, is an attorney who has a fear of heights. And yet you did something kind of brave.
Vaishali: Yes. I went hot air ballooning while I was in Turkey, over in an area of Turkey called Cappadocia, which really, there's no other way of experiencing other than a hot air balloon. So I'm not over my fear of heights, necessarily, but--
Alex: But you weren't in the balloon alone. There was an operator. There were other passengers. And that should have made you feel more secure. Did it?
Vaishali: It did. It was worth it.
Alex: Okay. That's great.
Alex: Kevin Foley is our champion, folks. He's a police captain who has worked for the Suffolk Police Department for how many years?
Kevin: 34 years, Alex.
Alex: And you are also a member of an elite group.
Kevin: Well, I don't know if it's elite. But the Brotherhood--
Alex: Special. Special group.
Kevin: Special. There's seven chapters around the United States right now, and what we do is when an officer is killed in the line of duty, makes the ultimate sacrifice, someone from each of the seven or eight chapters, they fly to the funeral and make the family aware that they're not by themselves.
Alex: That's why we always see police officers from different parts of the country at the funerals for our special guys.
Kevin: Yes. Yes.
Alex: Okay. Good for you.
