Tim gets Colin Quinn on the phone and Quinn spends the call explaining why he's still not doing the podcast despite Tim's repeated invitations. They cover Quinn's disdain for podcasts, Bobby Kelly's claims of inventing MySpace and the first podcast, manager Brian's outlandish outfits and picking a 'heart attack outfit' for the hospital, Quinn's health and Irish genetics jokes, America potentially breaking up, avoiding LA, and reviews of Quinn's show Red State Blue State.
