Tyrone



Tyrone is one of Ghost's 'special guests' on True Capitalist Radio, representing probably his most tenuous defense at claims of racism. He was introduced after a caller doubted that Ghost had 'a whole bunch of friends that happened to be black'. Tyrone is of African-American descent and grew up 'in da hood'. He speaks through thick ebonics and peppers his sentences with "yknowamsayin" and "ch'yeah".

Note that Tyrone is pretty much indistinguishable from Ghost's voice impersonation of an African-American. Ghost also often uses phrases such as "Chillin' like an insane villain", whether 'acting black' or not. Another example of Tyrone being Ghost is in the broadcast of October 4th 2011. In the "After-show Radio Graffiti", Ghost plays "Guess the Minority" with a black man, Ghost claims that "He could sound more black than the caller." He uses Tyrone's voice, as well as saying "Name's Tyrone up in this mother fucker" to add insult to injury. Tyrone has recently came back in the return on Episode 326 after someone made Ghost say the "N" word during Twitter Shoutouts that Ghost had the Engineer call Tyrone only to come in during the end of the third hour.

On an August 2016 episode, Ghost called on "T-Bone" to prove that he wasn't a racist, who sounded exactly like Tyrone. It's unclear if they're the same person, or if Ghost was too lazy to do another voice.
