Captain Sig Hansen and Captain Keith Colburn

The two are part of the reality TV show "Deadliest Catch" but their real fear is giving their final answer. What makes the show the "Deadliest Catch" is that people die. They experience 30', 40', 50' waves and 100 knot winds (the monitor shows scenes from the show). Because of that boats capsize and other things go wrong. Meredith asks why do it if it's so deadly. "It beats flipping burgers," Sig says. She then asks if there are any superstitions they have. Sig says once upon a time it was bad luck to have women aboard. Keith chimes in, saying that women are too smart to go. They are playing for the Seattle Children's Hospital Research Foundation.
