Paul Newburg, or more commonly known by his very simple nickname P-Nut, is the contractor of Galacticon and the Son of Fracturing Boss in the half-hour Squidbillies episode "Thou Shale Not Drill."
Personality[]
At the beginning of "Thou Shale Not Drill", P-Nut is a very charismatic and smooth-talking contractor, with even Dan Halen, all of people, praising his abilities and later copying them — with less success. He is rather oblivious to the environmental hazards of Galacticon's fracking until he has a change of heart and stops the drilling on the Cuyler's land. This was owed to his loyalty to Rusty, whom he amicably referred to as "Ruzzy." Despite thwarting Early and Granny's plans to become rich by having their land drilled, he is accepted by the Cuylers' as family after they had find out Lil is pregnant with his child. Although, he is hated by most of the Dougal County townsfolk, such as Boyd, Reverend, and Glenn, for ripping up the gas drilling rights that they signed, he remains a loyal friend to Rusty and is a dedicated husband to Lil, as he married her, creating a "Ho-Yo" stand to provide for his family, and trying to secure a job at Dan Halen Sheet Rock International. After finding out Early signed a paper that permitted Dan Halen to drill the Cuyler's land, P-Nut's willingness shines through in his attempt to find a way to stop the environment from being damaged by fracking. P-Nut was later taken away by the Red Whiskered Shalemander for not eating any of his "okras." He was most likely eaten alive by the creature afterwards.
Trivia[]
- P-Nut only has one bull in his stadium, which was killed by Early.
