90’s Boy Band Playlist

Okay, okay, you win – I’ll post the entire playlist from our “All 90’s Boy Band Show” from a few weeks back after getting nine different e-mails and six different tweets requesting such (daveo@roundtripwithdaveo.com and @roundtrip90s). I normally don’t do so but majority rules in this case! 🙂 Hopefully you were able to check out the special episode, co-hosted in its entirety by Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees, who currently is the mastermind for the E! Television Network’s recent reality show “Men Of The Strip.” Either way, I hope you’re able to download the following and use it as a “master two hour 90’s boy Read More …

Destiny’s Child, BSB & More

We begin this week’s “Back in the Day Buzz” with a bizarre story about former Destiny’s Child member Farrah Franklin, who appears to have partaken in one too many beverages. To be exact, Franklin was arrested earlier this week for disorderly conduct after falling asleep/passing out in a random person’s front yard in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The story is really quite sad and worrisome when you consider that the two men Franklin had been with earlier in the night believe that she was on drugs. Franklin denies this claim, and simply says she was drunk and had nowhere else to sleep. Sounds far fetched Read More …

Tragedy Hits R&B Group Hi-Five

We have some really, really, REALLY sad and disappointing news, as tragedy once again hits the group Hi-Five. That’s because last Wednesday, Hi-Five member Russell Neal was arrested for murder in the stabbing death of his girlfriend. Neal is 40 years of age, and his girlfriend (Catherine Martinez) was 24. Together, they had two young children, who are currently in the supervision of Martinez’s mother. This is just so hard to grasp – from all accounts, the two got along great, but then randomly, last Wednesday, Neal drove himself to the Houston police station and said, “My girlfriend is dead. I would like an attorney.” Read More …

First Ever Rapid Fire Edition!

Welcome to our first ever “rapid fire” edition of Back In The Day Buzz, as there are tons of “snippets” of quick information to bring to you. So without wasting any time, let’s dig right in! -The rumor mill is HOT that Jennifer Lopez is currently secretly dating a man named Maksim Chmerkovskiy. You may say, “who?” Well, Maksim is (besides a great magazine #ZING!) a professional ballroom dancer from the Ukraine. A big thanks to the gossip site TMZ for being first on this “story.” (loosely calling this news) -Next, some mind blowing info. about Michael Jackson’s children (Prince, Paris and Blanket). Because of Read More …

Exciting Round Trip Announcement & More

  We begin this week with AWE-SOME NEWS for all 90’s boy band fans! And it’s two-folded, too!   First of all, hopefully you’ve been able to check out E! Television for Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees’ new show, “Men of the Strip!” As a straight 33 year old man, I still found it fascinating, as it’s an in-depth look at the world of male entertainment and doing so in Las Vegas. Women will DEFINITELY find it worth watching!! Haha.   After you watch the show, you will find it quite courageous of Jeff to have undertaken such a challenge, but it’s quite the entertainment Read More …

A Look Back: Memorial Day

Memorial Day was earlier this week and I just wanted to write a quick note in recognition of that.   I think all of us are guilty of sometimes taking our freedoms and protection for granted, even though we all know men or women currently or who did serve in our armed forces. It’s easy to get caught up in our own world and forget that we have much to be thankful for but more than that, many to THANK for such freedoms.   So with that said, I want to thank all men and women who have died serving this wonderful country AND I Read More …

MJ, Jay-Z/Beyonce’ & More

We told you about Michael Jackson and his NEW ALBUM “Xscape” a few weeks back (which is now out, as of Tuesday) and now, something just as exciting is happening – Michael Jackson is coming back to TELEVISION in a big way!! While we can’t give you all the details at this time (since we don’t know them), this will just be a tease, BUT, this weekend (Sunday night) at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, the Estate of Michael Jackson will show a world premier experience of him that they have developed. I am one who is completely obsessed with Michael’s music, “celebrating his whole Read More …

Tori, Everything But The Girl & More

We begin this edition sending our strength, thoughts and prayers out to Tori Spelling during her tough times. For starters, her husband (Dean McDermott) just got out of rehab for a variety of personal problems, including substance abuse and cheating. The two are likely done, especially after the horrible things they keep saying to each other publicly. Obviously, the reality show True Tori probably isn’t helping matters, either. Then after the news of the marriage issues broke, it’s also been revealed that Tori has been in the hospital for “undisclosed reasons” over the past few days. I have to say that Tori has always been Read More …

Hammer, Crystal Waters & More

A lot of people are making jokes about the trouble that M.C. Hammer finds himself in again, but I don’t think it’s very funny. Mainly, that’s because I’ve always been a fan of his music and had the good fortune of meeting him many years ago – he really was a good guy. So you never want to make light of somebody going through tough times. Still, I’ll admit that it’s a bit ridiculous that he’s once again in trouble with “Uncle Sam,” aka the IRS, which says that he owes them $1.4 million dollars. This of course comes after he owed the same price Read More …

King Of Pop, Christina & More

We might be the only ones, but we thought that Michael Jackson’s music in the ’90’s was just as good as his releases in the ’80’s. After all, how can you not like songs such as “Black Or White,” “Remember The Time,” “In The Closet,” “Jam,” “You Are Not Alone,” “Heal The World,” “Earth Song” and (of course) from Free Willy, “Will You Be There.” Why do we randomly bring up the awesomeness of Michael Jackson? Because he HAS A NEW ALBUM COMING OUT!!! It’s called “Xscape” (not to be confused with the 90’s all-female rad R&B group Xscape) and pre-orders have already begun for Read More …
