Colin Quinn on O&A #6 — Rich Vos Quits Smoking (Again)

Colin drops by the studio to find Opie & Anthony ribbing Rich Vos about his endless cigarette addiction and failed quit-smoking attempts. The show spirals into a comedic intervention centered on Rich's chain-smoking, his wife's tarot-card obsession, and a horrific medical bit from years past in which a doctor discovered a suspicious lump in a caller's mouth. Colin takes the lead, deadpan and merciless, diagnosing Rich's smoking as a shield against fear and sadness—then pivots to mocking the "Mad Russian" energy healer who supposedly helped Rich quit for six months, and the new auricular acupuncture "Freedom Laser Therapy" he's about to try. The crew also dissects America's Funniest Moms Season 2 (Nickelodeon), sampling clips of Paula Bell, Donna, Jess J., and others, with Colin and the hosts agreeing most female comics lean too hard on motherhood stereotypes. A caller named Tyler brings up his father-in-law's jaw cancer, leading to discussion of smoking-related oral cancers. The episode closes with tangents on midget reality TV, a Homeland Security official caught in a child-predator sting operation, hot-teacher-student affairs, and various call-ins, plus a Stalker Patty clip featuring a vibrator demonstration. Bonnie McNeill and Jim Norton are in studio; Opie and Anthony round out the panel.
