From Detroit, Gonzo went on to WRZX (X103) in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was here that he created "The Big Dumb Show" with co-hosts Don Stuck and Beau Asner. The morning show was a success, with ratings at one point surpassing "The Bob & Tom Show". Highlights from "The Big Dumb Show" include "Who Wants to Get Married at XFEST" (featuring reality TV star Rick Rockwell), where Gonzo dressed as the Pope, and their "Pumpkin Propulsion" competition, which made international news. Due to budget cuts, Gonzo and his co-hosts, which later included Nicole Padberg, left X103.
