Don Cornelius II

Don Cornelius II, aka DCII, aka Donny Baby, aka Donny Sides is a bishop from Des Moines and close friend of Tony. He claims to be the son of Don Cornelius from Soul Train.



Characteristics of a DCII call include a "shalom!" greeting and common complaints about Tony farting, scratching, eating, or thinking he said something racist.

Pre-Divorce
In the beginning Don was a serious caller who phoned in to support Tony and the show. However, the divorce from his wife, putting up his with relation Goldfi$h, and Tony's seemingly lack of respect for him saw him become more troll than friend.

For a while it was theorized that Don was a white man named Jay. The source of this rumor came from Pastor Ken. However, when Don's cousin Clarence was in jail, Tony and Don met in person to visit Clarence in prison, ending that rumor.

In the early days of TonyTalk, Don would inform Tony of Jesco's whereabouts. On one occasion Tony was told of the hotel Jesco was staying at. Tony went to that hotel and loitered in the lobby for an hour, waiting for his chance to strike. He was kicked out and never doubted DCII's intel.

Don's ears are powerful enough to pick up everything on Tony's end. Often he would hear the rustling of food bags, the scratching of a belly, and farts. One time in November 2018 Don was in tears telling a personal sob story and Tony was on the toilet doing his business.

In late 2018 Don broke up with his wife Laquita, who took his dog Charles Cornelius III from him. He had to move out and settle in a dumpy motel. The decline of his life saw him become more embittered, more prone to swearing, and having less patience with Tony. He later on acquired another dog for companionship.

Mitch the Bitch


Midway through 2019 Don purchased a dog from a TonyTalk caller. What he got was Mitch the Bitch, a male Chihuahua. The dog is crazy: it smokes cigarettes, drinks Twisted Teas, drives the car, and has knocked up every female dog in the neighbourhood. Even Cesar Millan couldn't discipline Mitch.

Don has a way of controlling Mitch: shoot him with a tranquilizer gun! Because of this Don only needs to feed Mitch three times a week, which saves money. Whenever Mitch is acting up, such as ordering crates on Twisted Teas online, Don shoots with the tranq gun and puts his lights out. This act of canine pacification was what allowed Don to deduce that Mitch wasn't responsible for shitting on Tony's porch, but rather Jeff was the culprit.

In March 2020 Don pointed out that Mitch is a female (hence the 'Bitch' moniker). This has called into question Mitch's past misdeeds, such as impregnating all the local female dogs, to jacking off to dog porn.

DCII had offered Tony Mitch as he couldn't handle the bitch no mo'. Tony couldn't accept Mitch due to having cats.

Holy Don
Being a man of the cloth, Don tends to see the good in everyone, even BBF and Jesco. One man he cannot tolerate is Pastor Ken. The mountain of alleged lies and falsehoods has depleted the respect Don had for the man, and assures that if Ken were just to come clean with the truth the animosity will cease. Ken to this day has not yet come 'clean' but by now Don doesn't care anymore.

Don is the voice of reason and can talk Tony into forgiving his foes. When Tony talks of quitting the show, Don talks him into staying for the fans. Despite the friendly exterior, getting under his skin is ill-advised. When angered Don can be fearsome; his swearing alone can trigger Tony. Ken and Jesco are usually take the brunt of his vitriol, and even Tony isn't immune to the fury.

After BBF failed to acquire TonyTalk, he reached out to Don for a business proposal. Don complied, so he and Nigglesworth set to work on opening Niggleribs, home of the finest soul food. Plans for the restaurant did appear to have ended upon BBF's demise in September 2019; however, BBF's resurrection has had Don and Nigglesworth making plans again.

Recently
For the past few years Don had been supporting Tony in any way he can... until early 2020. DCII had to put with Tony's drama, his farting and eating over the phone, but the final straw was when Tony suggested that Don was a part of a conspiracy, in cahoots with Jaybo and others to troll Tony. Offended that Tony would suspect him, Don bitterly called him out. The friendship seemed to be over, and predictably Tony blamed everyone else but himself. However, Don and Tony talked things over and are now friends again.

Their friendship was recently tested in March 2020 with Tony's usual gassy self triggered Don. A single belch was all it took to unravel the recent goodwill and reconciliation. Tony didn't even apologize to Don for the errant burp.
