I first heard this show back in 2005 while visiting Bulgaria. It was on a Sampler CD I bought from OTRcat. What a great show!!! "Over The Falls In An Airplane" was a riot!!!
When I came back to the U.S. I ordered the MP3 next day. The creation of the "physical" Sparky (as seen in the photo above) was based on letters from listeners as to what they imagined him to look like. They may have been fans of "Twilight Zone" as well. That is one bizarre looking little boy!!!

"Big John" looks "Thweet" too. LOLOL

That's the daydreaming Big John making plans for all the loot facially challenged boy is bringing in.
