It's an action-packed Flashback Podcast, featuring Indy's own Blue Monkey Sideshow, a visit with comic John Bizarre, and a phone sex line for married guys.

Plus some other stuff unearthed from right around twenty years ago.

There are far too many of our favorite guests that have left the planet since we had the pleasure of hanging out with them in the early aughts. Please take a moment to remember comic John Fox from this visit in 2002, and take a moment to read this awesome tribute to the man from another friend of the show, Scott Long.Also included in this Flashback Podcast: Fat Johnny and Drunk Tad with more Big Dumb Fun in the Fall Creek parking lot, Don Stuck is clearly President of the Sebastian Bach Fan Club, and the announcement of the biggest concert event of the summer of 2002.

Our 25th-Episode Anniversary: A fun reunion, and a fabulous first time

In the early 90’s, Gonzo landed at legendary rock station WMMR in Philadelphia, which is where he met the super-talented singer/songwriter/comedian Pat Godwin. This episode of the Flashback features their first reunion after nearly a decade. Enjoy Pat’s in-studio performance of “C’est La Vie”, a touching love-gone-slightly-wrong song, as well as a special romantic Springsteen-style performance dedicated to Angela, our favorite Hooters girl.

The cavalcade of A-list talent continues with our first visit with comedian Jimmy Pardo. He covers making the move from his hometown of Chicago to Los Angeles, and somehow along the way we invoke the ghost of Kip Winger* and debate the finer features of the Plymouth Sunfire.

(* Kip Winger is not dead.)

Pat Godwin’s still touring and a regular on the bigger, meaner, show. Jimmy Pardo is touring as well, and hosts the hugely popular Never Not Funny podcast.

Did you ever take a statistics class? It’s a waste of time. Folk-singing hippie extraordinaire Todd Snider explains it all in this October 2002 appearance on the Big Dumb Show. 

Plus, we've got the best reason ever to not wait 'till the last minute to get your taxes done.

And finally, Fat Johnny embraces his inner Daredevil Santa as he takes a spin on his decidedly hillbilly sleigh in this leftover holiday-season clip, with the able assistance of Drunk Tad.

For the record, Tad was rarely actually drunk. He’s just a naturally enthusiastic person. Fat Johnny however, is actually fat.

Few people give the Big Dumb Show the credit it deserves for helping people with their inter-personal relationships. In this episode of the Flashback Podcast, the lovely Monique Marvez delivers some solid truth about how men and women see each other and the world around them.

Then, our resident life-coach/sock puppet Doctor Shotski Wadsworth offers a perspective that only a repurposed Crown Royal bag with googly eyes can really deliver without any serious blowback, even in 2002.

And, oh yeah ... there's one of the earliest in-studio appearances of Hell Horn.

This Flashback Podcast contains the single biggest Hellhorn disaster in the history of the Big Dumb Show, and you might (not) be surprised to learn that it involved Fat Johnny. Also, Splurge paid another in-studio visit to deliver a gigantic stack of pornography, as well as the under-rated Big Dumb Show Theme Song. Plus, Don’s fascination with the late Sammy Terry leads to fun with Comedian Mike Toomey and Hitler’s head.

Confused? It wouldn’t be the Big Dumb Show if you weren’t. Listen and let us know if you get it figured out.

Tradition dictates that if it's Saint Patrick's Day, Fat Johnny's in Jail. Although all of the clips in this Big Dumb Show Flashback Podcast are from the summer of 2002, Dave Dugan's appearance is still, somehow, unceremoniously interrupted by a phone call from an incarcerated fat guy.

Rob Haney has some fashion critiques for Don, and we remember “Wild” Bill Bauer with a brief conversation about Foghat’s tour schedule. Plus, you'll enjoy a visit from Doctor Shotski and General Admission.

If only there were a fun, friendly place where you could blow the lid of the breathalyzer, and then get behind the wheel and race your friends. Well, now there is. This episode of the Big Dumb Show Flashback Podcast is brought to you by Drink N Race. And also, Barry.There’s a couple of comedians with us on this one. There’s friend of the show and very frequent guest Scott Long, as well as Pat Dixon, who accidentally stumbles upon the secret homicidal tendencies of the program, and weirdly went on to create and host the NYC Crime Report podcast.

And oh, yeah. Nipples. Enjoy!

Yes, it's another episode with arguably the greatest band in the history of recorded music, the Fuglees. Emphasis on "argue". Comedian Dobie Maxwell makes a return visit, and reveals Bo's secret double-life impersonating iconic 1970's television characters. (None of them from "Emergency!".) And the family that enjoys the Big Dumb Show together ... obviously has issues.

Enjoy this latest regurgitation from Indianapolis, early in the twenty first century.

Comedian Ron White visits Indianapolis for the first time, and inexplicably decides to spend some time with Gonzo, Don, and Bo. Every comedian has bits about air travel, but Ron takes it to the next level and shared his experience from early December 2002.

Also in this reasonably-sized regurgitation, a quick conversation with Green Bay fans Butch Vig and Shirley Manson of Garbage.
