CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: The first player we introduced on our program today is Lewis Black. Not the comedian but an attorney from Utah, who was once the chauffeur for a wolf?
Lewis: I was. I was doing an internship in Washington, D.C., and the congressman that I was working for introduced a bill to do the environmental impact study for reintroducing the gray wolves into Yellowstone. And he wanted to have a wolf on the floor of Congress when he introduced the bill. And my job was to rent the van and meet the wolf handler and the wolf at the airport and drive them around. And so I did. And somewhere I've got photos of me petting the wolf.
Alex: Oh. Good for you.
Alex: Stephanie Stein, editor from Brooklyn, New York. Volunteers with a professional women's hockey team. What position?
Stephanie: I--nobody wants to see me skate, I promise. So I volunteer off the ice, mostly.
Alex: Oh.
Stephanie: I sell raffle tickets and sometimes tickets at the door.
Alex: Have you ever had a desire to get out there and play?
Stephanie: I'm actually learning.
Alex: Oh, really?
Stephanie: Yeah.
Alex: All righty.
Alex: James Holzhauzer is our--Holzhauer. Why do I keep mispronouncing your name?
James: It's a hard name.
Alex: Yeah.
James: Try saying it for 34 years.
Alex: You had a lot of practice. Now, tell me about--your mom had a coupon to go to a beauty parlor.
James: My mom was an extreme couponer before there was a term for it. So when I was six, she had a buy-one-get-one-free perm coupon, and she couldn't find anyone else to take with her, so she took me. And I know where the only existing photo of me with this perm is. And you can only see it with express permission.
Alex: Okay.
