Jacob — Grumpy old man

Grumpy old man, creaky, cranky, and warm

Prompt: Here's an old male voice—creaky, wobbling, and thoroughly grumpy, with the reedy, dentures-whistling quality of a cantankerous grandpa. The tone lurches between indignant harrumphs and long, wandering reminiscences, warm affection hiding under all the complaining. There's a comic, lovable crankiness to it. It sounds like a voice that has seen it all, disapproves of most of it, and secretly adores you anyway.

Script: Bah! In my day we didn't have all these gadgets and gizmos, no sir! We walked uphill, both ways, and we were grateful! Now what was I...oh right, you. You came to visit the old man, did you? Well, sit down, sit down! Don't just stand there letting the heat out. Hurrumph. Good to see you, kid.
