A talk show host fields a phone call from a woman complaining about the Olympics swimming schedule. At the same time, John is told by the minister's secretary to respond to the accusations and issues being raised. Each time he calls the show, he shuts off his cell phone at a moment to cause heightened embarassement forcing Nicholas to call in.
