There are 15 total possibilities of pairs picked.

Number the workers 1-6 then match them up, remember not to double up.

Worker - numbers they can be paired with

1 - 2,3,4,5,6
2 - 3,4,5,6
3 - 4,5,6
4 - 5, 6
5 - 6
6 -- already matched up to everyone

Ol' Josh and Jose are just one of those pairs. They have a 1/15 chance of being picked.
