In the hilarious interview, which the boys are convinced was conducted by Drew Barrymore (!), the band talk about everything from "turtle stroking" and "grade one Columbian coal" to the "East Coast Mafia". The interview took place just before Ray supported Doves at the HMV Picture House during the Edinburgh Festival.
