Tomorrow morning, I’ll be returning to the days of AquaNet over on errorfm. com … playin’ Guns N’ Roses, Motley Crue, Scorpions, Dokken, Poison … etc.
It’s a 4th of July Special:

Over the five years that the Big Dumb Show ran on the mighty X-103 in Indianapolis, we welcomed hundreds of talented people to be guests on the show.
And with the exception of only maybe Kato Kaelin, they all made for fairly interesting guests.
However, upon reflection, I would have to say that the a cappella singing sensation known as “Da Vinci’s Notebook” trumps most, if not all. Why?
They have a song called “Enormous Penis”, and they were kind enough to perform it live, in-studio.
Enjoy. And sing along. Loudly.

Okay, sure the i-pod is a pretty cool way to listen to your favorite music, but had Steve Jobs and the design guru’s at Apple actually put some thought into the thing, they might have beaten the Big Dumb Show to the most revolutionary entertainment device in history, the Thigh-Fi Personal Stereo.
(Although, as cool as it is, we don’t recommend using it while driving.)

Finally, we found a way to combine the two things that make Indianapolis great. Racing, of course, and drinking!
Drinking and driving is, of course, a spectacularly bad idea. Drinking and racing? Even worse.
Welcome to “Drink N Race!” (For safety reasons, drivers are required to supply their own beer helmet.)

Now … finally … you can once again enjoy the Classic Big Dumb Show Bit that Godsmack frontman Sully Erna himself called, “awful.” It’s Godsmacks!
F*ck those pansy-ass kids that eat their Wheaties … all the cool kids start their day with Godsmacks!

Hey everybody, it’s America’s Favorite Misogynistic, Crown-Royal-Bag/Sock-Puppet On-Air Sex Therapist … Dr. Shotski!
Now sure, there’s some people who might find it outrageous that women would take advice from what was once simply packaging for hard liquor, albeit now with added “googly eyes”. What they should be more concerned with is the fact that we had a radio show that regularly featured a puppet.
Enjoy … especially the Shotski theme song; nice work Beau!

This is one of my favorite Big Dumb Show bits ever, and, sadly, it’s still fairly current, given Scott Weiland’s continued, erratic rock-star behaviour.
But really, you gotta give the guy credit; he’s certainly embraced the lifestyle and hasn’t pussed out like so many others. So, we salute you, Scott Weiland … the Keith Richards of our generation.
Listen and enjoy.

Sure, former Big Dumb Show co-host Don Stuck has an impressive musical pedigree, but his performance in this “Classic Bit Of The Day” overshadows anything he ever did in the Three Chord Orchestra or any of the other eleventy-billion bands he’s been in.
In 2003 or so, rock radio was beset with “Mud” bands, and this, if it were allowed to continue, would have been the obvious conclusion.
Listen, and it will all make sense. Or not.

For today’s “Classic Bit Of The Day”, I wanted to share an in-studio performance by comedian Stephen Lynch.
There were so many great “Best-Of” moments from the Big Dumb Show that we weren’t able to use any more when Beau left the show, so it’s great to be able to share them here.
This happy, toe-tapping little ditty should have you squirming with uncomfortableness in no time.
Enjoy!

To kick off the “Classic Bit Of The Day” feature here at GONZO.FM, I am pleased to offer up for your enjoyment the single-most-requested thing we ever did at X-103 in Indianapolis, the critically acclaimed, and much-misunderstood, “4-Bolt Main”.
This techno-rave favorite is the result of a voicemail that Don Stuck received when he was selling his dune-buggy … I’m sorry, “pipe-buggy” in “The Trader”, of course.
I don’t think the sale was ever completed, but what we gained in knowledge about auto mechanics far outweighs whatever monetary compensation Don would have received from the sale of his off-road vehicle.
And just to stop the arguing right here, Wikipedia has finally weighed in with the definition of a “4-Bolt Main”:
“A 4 bolt main refers to the number of bolts attaching the main bearing caps to the block of an internal combustion engine. Four bolt mains are considered much stronger for high performance use than a 2 bolt main. Using 4 bolts to secure the main bearing caps reduces the amount of flex within the crankshaft as compared to 2 bolts.” (For more, click here.)
A mystery solved.
Now grab your glowsticks and enjoy.
