	<p>Crooks talks with Joyce Slaton, proclaiming his love for Fluffernutter and <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/Real_Housewives_2"><em>The Real Housewives of Orange County</em></a>, unsuccessfully traverses Wikipedia for a definition for <i>black bone</i> (we like the one kept in a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Cat_Bone">mojo bag</a>), and explains how Marcel’s hair proved impervious to the blade of the <em>Top Chef</em> razor.</p>
