Phone interview caught me choking chicken, Q&A

Hi all, Just got called by a BB for a full-time position. I didn't expect the call but I paused the video I was watching anyway. I answered, got through some of it, and for some reason the video unpaused itself. Well, it was kind of loud, and the last thing I heard over the shit I was watching before they hung up was, "okay, hey can you hold on just one second?" Needless to say, the call back was futile. Any tips here?

Why were you watching a video while you were interning? The place I worked at when I was 22 back in Australia had a list of websites that everyone visited with their name next to it. If it was a non-work related website they would deduct .5% off your bonus which adds up after multiple websites!
