Arcs Involved:

Michael Quinn, commonly known as Quinn (born 1965), is Josh's first manager and one of the most significant figures in the lore. Quinn encouraged Joshua to found and operate an unlicensed NYC tour business. The period of Josh's life that Quinn was a part of is known as the Michael Quinn Era.

Meeting Josh

Quinn first became involved with Joshua Block sometime in late 2021 or early 2022 as he explained in a video.. As Josh's first manager, Quinn encouraged him to start an unlicensed (illegal) NYC tour business, which became known as "The World of T-Shirts Experience." Quinn's influence on Josh had become significant, as he has been involved in various aspects of Josh's life and online presence.

A notable example of Quinn's involvement occurred on April 1, 2024, during an incident on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). Quinn made several TikTok posts claiming that Josh was attacked by "thugs" who attempted to steal his phone, hat, and wallet. Quinn stated that he had taught Josh to "flex and roar like a beast" as a defense technique. He also mentioned trying to convince Josh to take up karate. These posts illustrate Quinn's role in managing and commenting on Josh's activities, as well as his efforts to shape Josh's public persona.

Family

Quinn has two brothers, Joe and the late Jimmy Quinn. Jimmy Quinn was a victim of the 9/11 terror attacks at age 23. Quinn credits Jimmy with being his motivation to lead a successful and fulfilling life. Joe Quinn is a U.S. Army veteran and served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, returning home in 2015.

Business Ventures

Along with his brother Joe, Michael Quinn revived and sold the successful Feltman's hot dog brand, now known as Bristol Farms. Quinn often makes the claim that this was the first American hot dog brand.

Catchphrases

Quinn has several catchphrases that complement his eccentric personality:

• “Jagg” - An exclamation Quinn often uses to punctuate his posts as an expression of coolness or excitement, also an abbreviation for "Just a Great Guy."
• “Babe”
• “Quinn Effect” - A term Quinn uses to describe his positive effect on Joshua Block’s life, as well as general success in all his endeavors.

Controversies

Quinn's involvement with Joshua Block has been a subject of controversy and speculation. Some viewers have questioned Quinn's true intentions, suggesting that he may be exploiting Josh for personal gain or encouraging his problematic behavior, such as alcoholism.
