The Real
Happy Hour Cast of Characters
Eggs | Kurt | Estry | AFY | Faux | Barry | Sal
Randal (Randy) Throckmorten (Tom) Bachin (sounds like
bacon) a.k.a. Eggs
Eggs, as he is usually referred to, is the sharp but quirky
mitigating diplomat in the TRHH brew. Known to almost never
leave his house, he has everything he wants or needs at home
in downtown Low Point. Eggs met Kurt and Estry at Low Point
High School, and they soon formed a musical group, Buchanan
Airstrip Main Gate Security Code, which became ground zero
for their continuing co-creative, but not particularly talented
exploits. Eggs has a wife named Sam, and a daughter named
Bunny. He prefers Tanqueray Gin and usually wears a white
tuxedo while recording the show via Skype from his home office.
Kurt Johnson
Kurt is the often unpredictable but
consistently offensive firecracker that keeps everyone
at TRHH studios
on their
toes and plugging their ears. The responsible party for
TRHH's "explicit" rating,
Kurt prefers direct and blunt language at the expense of
decorum, and has a dream of seeing this approach spread to
all aspects of culture. While he has hinted at amazing advertising
voiceover success using the slogan, "It Sharpens Your
Blade," for a panoply of products, the claims remain
unverified. Kurt is married to Estry, and drinks Bombay
Sapphire Gin. A lot.
Estry Mae Will
As the solitary female in the lineup,
Estry has an uncanny knack for using her pithy wit to sum
up the foibles of her castmates in three syllables or less.
Her objective perspective on Kurt, Eggs, and pretty much anything else is impervious
to typically persuasive public opinion. What you see is what you get with Estry.
Although The Real Happy Hour is purported (By Eggs and Kurt) to be "all
about The Gin," Estry reminds us often that it is a 2/3 consensus, and
she prefers to sip a classic red wine instead.
Addison Fritz Yeamon
The once cute and cuddly (according to Estry) nephew of Eggs, Addison went on
to work a 6 month stint for the CIA, and subsequently develop a personality that
is not so much split as it is angrily divorced. Though he first signed on with
TRHH as a staff writer, he soon went on to take the largest office in the building,
fill it with surveillance equipment, put a forest of radar dishes on the roof,
and bug everyone and everything. Odds are you're debuting on a screen in AFY's
monitor wall at this very moment. Recorded evidence indicates that Addison has
a home with a wife and kids, despite how far fetched it seems, where he likes
to kick back with good Cuban cigars and Damrak Gin. Oh, and he likes sports.

James Faux Jones
Once a famous voice talent, the
story goes that his fortunes waned due to the amazing popularity
of Kurt's "It Sharpens Your Blade" campaign. Down
on his luck and needing gainful employment as much as the next baritone, he hired
on as the announcer for TRHH, agreeing initially to work for a salary paid exclusively
in IOU's. Since the purchase of the show by media giant, EverClearChannel Communications
(Listen, Or Else!), Faux has really come into his own. He now holds the critical
position of broadcast engineer in addition to his expanding announcing duties.
Faux may or may not be married, drives a mini van with a condiment rack in it,
once ate an apple that contained spy equipment, and single-handedly started an
obscenity revival with his breathtaking renditions of the words, "Bullshit" and "Goddamnit."
Barry Brumbelow
The cast first met Barry when he and
his crew did an interview with TRHH on-air personalities
for
an Exposé segment on the Daily Global Hourly World
News, where he was then head anchorman. After a two day
party that included some possibly
inappropriate behavior with the TRHH cleaning woman Su Lin, he was very publicly
fired by William Mellon, CEO of PVB (Planetary Voice Broadcasting). Addison
Fritz Yeamon, self-appointed Director of Human Resources
for TRHH, then hired him at
a fraction of his previous salary. Barry loves Svedka Vodka, and apparently,
anything to do with socks.
Sal
Sal is the newest part of the team at
TRHH (Appearing in Episode 11). When the deal was cut with
EverClearChannel Communications, Sal is the guy that showed
up carrying a stack of contracts on a hand truck. As Executive Producer, he
is something akin to the cast's boss, and yet none of them
know his last name. All
information about Sal seems to be available on a need-to-know basis only. He
claims to have been the majority stockholder in Verizon for 27 minutes once
while in the throes of a dynamic business deal, and ran
a glass eye distributorship
of some kind, although speculation is that the latter was less a legitimate
business and more a reminder to business partners that "accidents can happen." Sal
is a Scotch and Whisky man, and keeps a shovel and bag of lime in his trunk.
