CITY SLANG

This week on the show, we fend off late-night hooligans to talk to the great YVES JARVIS! (formerly Un Blonde)

Otherwise known as Jean-Sebastien Audet, we learn the wisdom of watching and learning from reality shows, the psychological zen of Kanye West, and the long-term harm of living under the stairs.
