We're definitely not in Pamplona... the Running of the Bulls looks very different in New Orleans. This Saturday morning, the 18th annual highlight event of San Fermin in Nueva Orleans will dominate Downtown with thousands of white-clad "runners" chased through the streets by bat-carrying derby skaters known as RollerBulls. Bayou 95.7's "Best Damn Morning Show" hosts Gonzo and Ashley O spoke to Big Easy Roller Derby's "RestN Peaces," a local Bull with years of experience under her horned helmet. Listen to the full interview to learn what to expect at this uniquely New Orleans twist on a famous Spanish tradition, what it means to be a NOLA Bull, and the local roller derby scene.

The Best Damn Morning Show broadcasts live each weekday morning from 6am-10am in Audacy New Orleans's Bayou 95.7 studio, but on Saturdays Gonzo and Ashley O are free to enjoy copious amounts of sangria and a few friendly "fat bats."
