and Stew, other former DJs present included Long Paul, Thrasher, and Dangerous Darren. Current Gonzo continues to reside in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he works as a voice-over talent. He also moonlighted as an announcer for the local roller derby league, the Sin City Roller Girls, through their 10th season. He continues his love of radio with Gonzo.fm. The internet radio stream regularly features complete podcasts of various incarnations of the show, usually on the anniversary of their air date. He is also a semi-regular guest host on the podcast "Phil Hulett and Friends", which is hosted by former KNAC DJ "Philthy Phil" Hulett, and produced by former KNAC DJ Mike Stark. The show is broadcast from L.A. Radio Studio in San Pedro, California. After a several-year stint working as the sound engineer for the Nuclear Bombshells (a post-apocalyptic burlesque troupe), Gonzo is now the program director for Highway Radio. Broadcasting out of Pawn Plaza (where Pawn Stars is filmed), the studio is responsible for three long-standing stations that broadcast between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Influences Among Gonzo's influences was WRKO-AM morning host Dale Dorman; his first time on the air was calling in to win a contest. He knew for certain he wanted to be a radio DJ when his father took him to WBCN in Boston. He saw Tony Baradini through the window, and he sat watching the DJ for an hour while his dad conducted business. WBCN morning host Charles Laquidara, who hosted a weekend show under the alter-ego "Duane Ingalls Glasscock", was also a huge inspiration. His biggest influence, though, was Frazer Smith of KLOS. Other influences include Freddie Snakeskin, KROQ's Jed the Fish, and Dr. Johnny Fever of WKRP in Cincinnati. Style Gonzo Greg (also called Gonzo, Gonz, or The Gonz) derives his style of reporting from Hunter S. Thompson's Gonzo Journalism, as his name is a tribute. His entertainment can sometimes be crude, and most generally humorous. He tends to report the news with a disregard for accuracy and leans more toward delivery and humor. His daily routine of Morning Radio games, criticism of government and pop culture, and constant sarcasm has resulted in a cult following of listeners, some listening via streaming internet radio.
