Note: There's a bit of swearing in this one, so it might not be safe around the kiddos!

Kel and Joshua discuss some really crap interview questions... and making them better!

Warning!! Joshua swears more times in this episode than all other episodes combined... I think it was a total of 2-3? Still probably not the best episode for children!
