Tony Gaga

Tony Gaga (Full name Anthony/Antonio Gagardo), otherwise known as Uncle Tony, Tony G, Tony Sides, 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 is currently living the good life, in opulence and luxury. For instance, he smokes 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).

Recently
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.

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.
