Jasmine went to Denmark and kindly brought back candy, which Leah and Jocelyn try... after a long discussion about how to score a perfect bowling game and the history of Dominick's grocery stores.

Jocelyn Geboy and Leah Jones are back in time for Easter and Passover with the ultimate Jelly Bean taste test including the Fiery Five from Jelly Belly which came with a very serious warning. Spoiler alert: they are very very very very very spicy beans and one host is too wimpy to try them all.
