Joshua Higgins

The late Joshua Higgins was a caller who was there in the beginning of TonyTalk and propelled it into the show it is today.

Characteristics of a Joshua Higgins call include unsavoury accusations, threats, pleas not to talk over him, and blackmail.



Genesis
Back when Tony was fresh from his failed wrestling radio show, Joshua Higgins put TonyTalk on the BlogTalkRadio map. With repeated mentions of munging and Tony's ensuing revulsion, it was a hit that saw the show explode in popularity.

Higgins helped Tony out by co-hosting a show early on. His repeated mention of questionable content, such as the Alabama Hotpocket, had Tony enraged and he booted off Joshua off the air.

Joshua Higgins is a learned man, with degrees with homosexuality and Jewish studies. His prostitution lifestyle saw Tony become reluctantly worried for Higgins' well-being.

Leviticus
In mid-2018 Tony held an emergency Joshua Higgins special to help him. It turned out that Joshua was on a beach in LA, receiving a blowjob, and selling his body to make ends meet. Jesco White took him up on an 'Around the World' for $80, much to Tony's chagrin.

Higgins loved manipulating Tony. He gave threats of becoming a drug-abusing and homeless, and will blame Tony after the fact. Such threats kept Tony on his toes. He also accused Tony of calling Madeleine Mitten fat and hitting on her. Tony conceded that she was fat but denying hitting on her or her sides.

Joshua is good friends with Pastor Ken and took his side when Ken was the subject of a slander. Joshua claimed to have resurrected Ken by munging his corpse back to life, with Ken humorously agreeing that was the case. Josh then accused Tony of hitting on Ken's estranged wife Rosemary.

Later on Joshua saw the light and christened himself as Yeshua, the Messiah. He began work on rewriting the Bible, assisted by his uncle Moishe Higgins. Joshua alleged that Ken help as well, to which Ken denied it and denounced the book as false teachings. Tony has read this x-rated Bible and was sickened.

Revelations
There was a long absence after Joshua's last call. Some assumed that life had gotten in the way or maybe he had retired the character. The worst fears were confirmed: Joshua Higgins (or rather the man portraying him) passed away on July 19, 2019.

Tony was in tears and held a Joshua Higgins memorial show. The featured song was a parody of R.E.M.'s Man On The Moon (with lyrics written by Jaybo). Everyone chipped in with thoughts of Higgins and shared their stories. You will be missed, Higgins.
