Gabe Aranda Talks Balloonfest, Tornado Damage [AUDIO]

Buzz Adams — Tue, 21 May 2013 18:45:47 +0000

We've gotten to know Gabe and Dameon Aranda pretty well over the past few years. They've played at several of our events and, if you've ever seen them perform, you know they are a super, super talented band.

They're also good people. We'd been scheduled to talk to Gabe since Saturday about their upcoming performance at Balloonfest. Then the tornadoes hit Oklahoma right near where they make their homes. They'll still be here Sunday for Balloonfest, but our interview this morning took a different direction in light of the recent weather in OKC.

(AUDIO) The Buzz vs. Lauren Prank War Escalates

Buzz Adams — Thu, 16 May 2013 18:15:12 +0000

Here's what's happened in the Buzz vs. Lauren Prank War so far:

Last week, Lauren or one of her henchmen put confetti into the air vents of my car and turned the air conditioner up to high blast. When I started my car, confetti blew everywhere. I thought may a filter or a manufacturers label had gotten shredded and I was considering taking it into the shop. A full day later the truth dawned on me.

Yesterday, I did this to Lauren's car...

How well did this prank work? Why don't I let Lauren tell you. Click below to hear the audio for yourself....

15 Gay Sounding Basketball Terms

Buzz Adams — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 18:43:48 +0000

Celtic center Jason Collins made history today as he became the first active NBA player to come out as gay. Former player John Ameche came out a couple of years ago, but that was after he had retired from the NBA. Also, he's British, so that hardly counts. 34 year old Collins, however, is still active in the league. '

In honor of Jason Collins' courageous announcement, I've compiled a list of my top 15 NBA terms that sound gay.

1.) Man-to-Man

2.) Take it to the hole

3.) Reach-in foul
