Anyone up for an ice-cold bath at 7 a.m.?
Watch NBC 5 morning hosts J.C. Navarrete, Michelle Relerford and NBC 5 Meteorologists Alicia Roman and Kevin Jeanes try to hit the bullseye and dunk traffic reporter Kye Martin into the tank.
First up was Relerford, who threw a few balls to kick things off. After that, Roman, reaffirming her competitive edge, threw a ball directly at the tank instead of the bullseye.
"I did that on purpose," Roman insisted.
After that, it was Navarette's turn, who whipped a bullet straight at the button. Martin slid right in.
Martin got dunked a second time too, thanks to another throw from Relerford.
Last year, reporters dunked Navarette into the tank, thanks to a line-drive from Roman.
