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.

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. 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 a 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.

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 appear to have ended upon BBF's demise in September 2019.
