Tony Gaga

Tony Gaga (Full name Anthony/Antonio Gagardo), otherwise known as Uncle Tony, Tony G, Tony Sides, Tony Poopiligazzi, Clarabelle, Professor Poot, or Uncle Sides, is the host of the TonyTalk show. Tony is a middle aged Italian man from East Boston, Massachusetts.

Personality and Character
Tony has a high pitched voice and a heavy Italian accent, often breaking off into Italian slang at a moments notice, calling callers who annoy him "Stunads", which is slang for "idiot" or "moron". Another notable characteristic of Tony is his poor hearing, leading to some misunderstandings with callers in the past, most notably mishearing Discord as "Titscore", causing a minor falling out with serious caller Pastor Ken.

As his show is an advice show, Tony is always open to help others, and will often tell stories from his past to relate to certain callers situations, occasionally to his detriment, such as when telling a story that is embarrassing.

Tony suffers from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, leading to him occasionally having to take breaks to deal with it. This causes him to be annoyed when callers fart into the phone, or talk about farting/shitting, as well as when people claim he's taking musical breaks to use the toilet.

Tony enjoys singing, and will often produce many songs to play during "Musical Breaks" in the middle of his show. Occasionally, he will even dedicate shows to musicians he enjoys, such as the March 10th show, which was dedicated to Michael Jackson.

Mr. Hollywood
In May 2020, Tony discovered a secret truth about himself: he was adopted. His biological mother was a well known actress and giving him up was a decision pressured by the studio. After all this time she reached out to Tony. After signing an NDA, Tony flew out to Hollywood. He was living the good life, in opulence and luxury, smoking Treasurer Aluminum Black cigarettes that cost $65 a pack.

This upheaval in class and wealth changed Tony. He became more elitist, more hoity-toity, casting his eyes down on his fans and callers. His zero tolerance on songs and troll callers soured the community. The most aggrieved of the fanbase was DCII and Jerome, who witnessed and experienced the brunt of Tony's increasing racism. Tony was accidentally driven through Compton, which led him to believe that "Jesco was right".

All of this power has gone to Tony's head. In early June 2020 he demanded ownership of the Salami Brigade discord chat. He also talked of selling invites to the room at $100 a pop. This angered the fanbase to the point where his true allies went extinct; now everyone wants to troll Tony and slap some sense back into him.

In mid-June 2020 he returned to Boston. He said he was surrounded by toxic people constantly. His advisors suggesting he dox the Discord users who hadn't paid the $100 fee was the final straw. He appeared to be more humble and apologetic to his estranged fanbase, but ruined the moment when he doubled down on his elitist attitude and declared war on Liquid Tony and InsaneEnergy for streaming Liquid's shows.

In late-June 2020 Tony returned to Boston, utterly disillusioned by the rampant toxicity of Hollywood. Tony had finally understood what his fans and callers meant they they said he changed for the worse. In a shocking swerve Tony denounced these pleas for sanity and doubled down on his toxicity, such as refusing to reconcile with Liquid Tony. This has only enraged his fanbase into doubling down on trolling him. This was later reverted after a two week hiatus and return to TonyTalk form, giving everyone a clean slate (some of whom instantly ruined).

2020
Tony has made it his personal mission to bring down Johnny Longfeather and BBF. Johnny's casino has been the site of shenanigans and chicanery, with Ben financing it. Reports and rumours of drug dealing, cockfights, VIP blowjobs, and murder have reached Tony. Tony has vowed to bring them to justice. Despite a few glimpses that Tony thinks he is being trolled, he wholeheartedly believed everything he is told, from the Tony-lookalikes hired to give handjobs to the sinking of Johnny's cruise ship.

The years of torment and abuse Tony has received from trolls and stunads has had him fed up. Now he has gone full Joseph Gibson. He has begun posting the IP addresses of his chatroom trolls and has suggested people dox these offenders. He has gone far enough as to suggest people ought to mess with Doug in the real world. Those comments made Doug report TonyTalk, almost cancelling the show for his stunt. If the long arm of the law nabs Tony for this, he really be the new Gibson.

Towards the end of 2020, Tony was smitten by the nurse who tended to his ill mother. Wanting to impress her, he sought advice. Jesco advised he get a blumpkin pie, which almost got him in trouble with her. When he made his moves he came down with a stomach bug, making him constipated for a week.

Tony has allegedly written a book entitled How to Fart Quietly in Public. Sal enjoys reading it as he drives, much to Tony's horror.

2021
Valentine's Day 2021 had one of Tony's lowest points in the show's history. Feeling unloved and underappreciated, he got drunk on Amaretto, sang the blowjob room song, and made a fool of himself. Despite DCII and Ashley and other callers supporting him, Tony still beat himself down. Jaybo had to step in and forcibly mercy-kill the show to save his friend's dignity.

In late February 2021 Tony was informed by Dewey via email that Jaybo was behind many of the characters that call his show. Tony fell for it and quit the show, seemingly for good. However, Tony eventually realised that Jaybo wasn't talented enough to do all those voices, and that all of this was a plan to make the king of BlogTalkRadio quit so that GRM reigns supreme. A month after retiring Tony returned from the ashes, shining brighter than ever.

In April 2021 Tony revealed that he moved north out of Boston. He hasn't disclosed his new location out of paranoia.

In mid-May 2021 he took a call from Mississippi Mike during the Mother's Day special. Mike's tale of a decade-long incestuous relationship with his mother unraveled Tony to the point he had a panic attack on-air and had to be hospitalized.

Tony's rivalry with Sal heated up in mid-2021. Sal would challenge Tony to a fist fight at a certain location, with Tony showing up and not seeing Sal. In mid-July Sal called Tony out to the local park. Tony arrived wearing a salmon tanktop, American flag boxer shorts, and a bandana. Sal watched Tony get escorted out by the security, which vexed Tony as he assumed Sal cowardly never turned up.

In mid-July 2021 Tony betrayed his fans by putting off the Joshua Higgins tribute show in favour of meeting his girlfriend's parents. Impressing his future in-laws meant more to him than respecting the memories of one of the most important people in his BlogTalkRadio career. Fate was kind to this betrayal: he broke up with Anna.

Tony reinvented his show as Tony Gangsta, the breaker of hearts, user and abuser of women, giving advice to fellow heartbroken men. However, his hot mic revealed he's simping for his ex.

Tony's friendship with Jaybo was severed when Tony called Jaybo a Judas for doing an interview with Bruce. Jaybo later on called Tony out on the air for being such a miserable childish buffoon who has no one to blame but himself for losing his friends, his girlfriend, and 'real fans'. Tony quit the show in a huff.

In late 2021 Tony had been nicknamed Tony Poopiligazzi. This name infuriates him and distinguishes him from other Tonys, like Tony Ferrar, Liquid Tony, and Future Tony.

In late October 2021 Tony ragequit his show for good after receiving abuse in Discord. Since he had an interview scheduled with famed personality Tonya Todd, Alfonso took it upon himself to run the show himself. Tony eventually got control again and seemed adamant in that show being his last. TonyTalk's future was uncertain.

Tony was going to soft-reboot the show into a Q+A format with Jaybo co-hosting, named ASSk Tony. However he quickly realised it would be a non-serious show called by trolls and wacky characters. Tony cancelled the show and took Christmas break off.

2022
2022 saw Tony embrace fitness and better living. As a result of a more active lifestyle he has so far lost 4 ounces since the start of 2022. Tony attributes his weight loss to going to the gym, but the fans misunderstood him as having sex with a man named Jim.

In January 2022 Tony had allegedly sent Jeff's ex Nessa a saucy voicemail encouraging a sexual encounter. This enraged Jeff, who promptly declared war on Tony, erasing all the goodwill they had built up. Tony asserts his innocence, claiming it his future self impersonating him.

In February 2022 Tony took a photo of his email inbox to prove to Discord of Johnny's rudeness. This photo revealed his disturbing web browser tabs, such as plus-sized porn and old meatball recipes.

Tony took a trip to Las Vegas in February 2022. He had a less than pleasant time. He almost got into a confrontation with four men but was able to intimidate them out of conflict. Tony thinks they were hired by Johnny to ass-fuck him. At one point Tony's ringtone - the Sal x Rico Blowjob Room song - almost got him in trouble. Then he got drunk at the craps table and went to bed.

Tony took a hiatus during most of March 2022. He had allegedly gotten a computer virus from a porn website. He blames BBF purchasing XVideos and embedding viruses into the videos. He joined the Discord voicechat on 14th March to complain but he instead watched porn with a hot mic.

Tony had to take extra shifts at his new job to pay his bills. TonyTalk was saved from hiatus by an anonymous fan who donated enough to pay the BTR fees. During his hiatus he talked with Anna and they decided to get married. The wedding day was yet to be decided but Tony has banned his callers from attending.

TonyTalk seemingly ended in April 2022 due to Tony moving on from the show. He declared himself too old and tired to bother entertaining his fans. Tony no-showed the Roast Show and the subsequent JayboTalk when Jaybo was unable to host it. This apathy and indifference to the show has made fans speculate that Tony truly does not care for it anymore, and that TonyTalk should not return if he remains this way.

TonyTalk returned in early June 2022 and was off to a strong start with Jaybo hacking the show, bringing farts, burps, cluster calls, and jacking off noises in his wake. Tony is not very optimistic of the show but he is sticking around so long as Jaybo pays him.

In late June 2022 Jaybo stopped paying Tony as he has a family to support. In a Discord voicechat Tony admitted Jaybo had been paying his BlogTalkRadio bill for years. This revelation rocked the community, with even hardcore supporter Jeff chewing Tony out. There was even a rumour floated in that voicechat of Tony borrowing money from Jaybo to buy his fiancee a wedding ring from Walmart. Such statements weakened Tony's image, decreasing trust and support from fans, many of whom swearing off financially supporting Tony.

In the weeks that followed the latest hiatus, Tony talked to his fans in the Salami Brigade Discord. Some users there were not kind with his attitude. Bothered by the toxicity, Tony disguised himself as a fan named Domineco. His ruse was instantly blown by the fact he changed his name on the same account. The criticism he got for this stunt rattled him enough to cancel the show, money for bills be damned. His outburst was dismissed as childish as Tony, the attention seeker he is, will likely return.

In either June or July 2022 his fiancee physically battered Tony for some unknown reason. Tony assured his fans he "handled it", which they interpreted as violent retaliation. This landed Tony in a lose-lose situation: he either engaged in domestic violence or took the beating like a bitch. Either way it was his loss as he soon became single, the wedding called off.

Tony sought to rebound quickly. In late July 2022 by chance he encountered his ex Chinkie and demanded a blowjob from her lest he call the cops on her for stealing his money. She objected, citing her mouth sores, so she begrudgingly gave him a handjob under duress. Some time later in early August he sweet-talked Veronica, a female fan, on Discord. They planned a dinner date with sides-hitting. She arrived at Kawloon first but she too ran into Chinkie, who told Veronica of the extorted handjob. Disgusted, Veronica fled the restaurant, leaving Tony to eat plateful of food alone waiting for a hot date that never came.

In late July 2022 Ken Fishman sent Tony an email, demanding a rematch at the Embassy Suites. Tony rushed there to brutalize Ken. He wore rings on his fingers as makeshift brass knuckles. He also planned to tape a metal vacuum cleaner pipe to his leg but found he couldn't walk properly with it affixed to him. Tony loitered in the hotel until he was physically removed by the police and banned from the premises. That is when he realized he had been trolled the same way Jesco had trolled him years prior. The incident had his blood pressure drop so he went to his doctor prior to his Discord voice chat skirmish with Ken.

In early August 2022 Tony was uncharacteristically friendly to Johnny. Suspicions were confirmed when Tony suggest they both meet in person, which Johnny declined. Later on in the next show, Tony accidentally revealed his plan: befriend his victim until they meet in person and then physically thrash them. This plot got exposed by Tony attempting the same trick on Ken Fishman, who immediately saw through the deception.

In mid-August 2022 Tony had a spat with Kent Hopper. Hopper had the belief that Tony was possessed by a demon. Tony played along with these delusions, resulting in some bizarre statements made by Tony on Discord.

In mid-September 2022 Tony had an intervention by Pastor Ken, Pastor Veal, and Pastor Leroy. The holy trio confronted Tony for his bigotry and growing apathy to the show and his fans. After much soul searching, helped by Jaybo threatening to assault Tony for calling Tony Ferrar a faggot, Tony sheepishly apologised but condemned them. Tony was so enraged by the ordeal he hosted a new show for an hour later but no-showed, either out of cowardice or crashing into a drunken stupor.

In November 2022 Tony reemerged with a show thanks to his schedule opening up. In the two month gap between shows Tony got a new job (janitor); a new car (Toyota Prius); and a new girlfriend (details currently undisclosed). The show ended on a bad note when a failtroll insulted his deceased mother, a trolling technique that was bound to end in a ragequit.

In December 2022 Tony contracted COVID-19. He had no symptoms during the Christmas show but he got hit hard soon after, thereby cancelling the New Year's show.

2023
In early January 2023 Tony was seemingly let go from his job but it was a mistake from his employer. Around this time he had an axe to grind with Barry due to him gambling at Johnny's casino under Tony's name. Many times a Discord voicechat was scheduled but Tony either no-showed or the VC simply never happened. Tony did do a Discord voicechat a week later but it was to apologise to Jeff for badmouthing his daughter on TonmyTalk. He yelled at black people but did not apologise.

In late January 2023 Bruce took it upon himself to host a show with thanks to producer Jaybo. Tony went ballistic during the show and raged and seethed like a madman. He told his fans he would be on Discord voicechat after the show but he never appeared. A few days later the mystery was solved: Tony was hospitalized due to dehydration and stress from Bruce's show. Tony told the chat he was hooked up to a IV but mistakenly said he has HIV, worrying his fans.
