Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
Sorry, I'll be enjoying life at that time.
Tanner (Knightdale)
Well I think Tim Wakefeild should be starting in the All-Star game because, When he has that knuckleball going nobody can even hit at all. He's so AMAZING!!!!!!
Tanner (Knightdale)
I think Manny Ramirez should help the Dodgers a lot this season, and lead them to the World Series because of his hitting, and feilding. Maybe not his feilding.
Heath (Lakeland)

Tyler (Dallas, TX)
It seems like nobody remembers the Michael Finley dunk on Michael Jordan when Finley was in high school. Don't you think this just proves that the worst thing they could do with the Lebron dunk was to take the footage?
Chris (Philly)
Chat's slowing down. Pop Tarts must be ready.
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
Sorry, had to go grab them out the toaster
Greg (boston)
with Sheed, Garnett and Perk, do you think the Celtics might be the craziest team ever assembled or does the Stephen Jackson/Ron Artest pairing still trump them?
Louis (Montreal)
Strawberry pop tarts?
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
Only the best
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Are we really still talking about this dunk? Move on, people.
aaron rodgers (Buzz's closet)
theres always people that can dunk better than nba players
Rickie Weeks (Fatness)
But Buzz, we have so much in common. We both love to eat and are fat. I know there's a lot of people like that, but I'm a major league ballplayer!
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
not a good enough reason
Brett (Butler,PA)
How can you afford a toaster buzz???
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
I can't but the job can
86 Mets (Rehab)
Craziest team ever? Please!
Nathan (Manassas)
We're talking more sports than usual.
Buzzmaster (10:19 AM)
Well what would you like to talk about?
Chris (Philly)
When preparing said Pop Tarts, do you follow the instructions on the box step-by-step, or do you just wing it? Follow up question, I have heard that some people put butter on their Pop Tarts, have you given that a shot before?
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
Wing it. butter on a pop tart? not a good look
Tom (River North)
I've been gone for two days and none of the regulars are around. Did you put a ban on them? Did Nate and Brian go too far?
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
maybe they just didn't want to talk with you today
Drew (Buffalo)
got my first paycheck today on my brand new 21k a year promotion!
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
about time
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
Buzz has killed the regulars.
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
never
Anthony (NY)
Can you do rankings with top 5 poptart flavors: ex: Strawberry, smores, double fudge etc.
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
only one flavor matters ...strawberry
Pillsbury Doughboy (not the oven)
Pop tarts are overrated!
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
crazy
Nathan (Manassas)
Butter on a pop tart sounds interesting
JB (TX)
Buzz wraps his pop tarts in bacon.
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
not everyday
Brandon (Albany)
Cinnamon Brown Sugar is the best flavor of poptart
MJ (Cville)
McD's is up to 21K?
News Casters (USA)
And in sad news, several people have suffered heart attacks due to putting butter on a poptart. The man who came up with this idea, Buzzmaster, has been taken into custody.
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
good one
Brian (Michigan)
I admit it has been months since I've eaten a Pop Tart. I'm not a fatty.
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
not cool
Nolan (Hartford)
Buzz, you feelin snippy today? Pretty short 1/2 word responses... Is everything okay?
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
just peachy
chaz (sa tx)
there is absolutly nothing bacon does not make better!
Trevor (Texas)
I agree with Brandon...Cinnamon Brown Sugar is the be all end all of Pop Tart flavors...
Anthony (NY)
Smores is my favorite poptart
Brett (Butler,PA)
Ive had butter on a poptart before,not bad.but dont drink milk with it!!!
Louis (Montreal)
I wouldn't put butter on a fruit flavored pop-tart, but on a double fudge one... interesting
Nathan (Manassas)
Smores is excellent.
Lady Buzz (Bristol)
I wrap Buzz in bacon
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
ummm
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
I have buttered poptarts before.. good
Abigail (mendham)

Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)

stephanie (cincy)
Cinnamon Brown Sugar pop-tart fresh from the toaster, topped with Hagen Daz vanilla. Ever try it Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
can't say i have, sounds like a bit much for me
Louis (Montreal)
One pop tart makes you fat? Do some exercice Brian!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
So, by Brian's logic, only fatties eat Pop Tarts. FAIL.
Nathan (Manassas)
Whoa, whoa. Pop tarts are plenty healthy. Sorta.
Chris (Philly)
Wow, stephanie (cincy), that may be a game-changer.
jillnorman (norman)
How about scrambed eggs with green chilies.
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
WHAT?
Nolan (Hartford)
Non-frosted strawberry is the best for toasting.
Buzzmaster (10:28 AM)
Only in CT
Brian (Madison, WI)
Lady Buzz wrapping Buzz in bacon reminded me of the Family Guy episode when Lois gets really fat and Peter loves it. Then I grabbed my trash can and vomited.
Tom (River North)
Jill, scrambled eggs with chilis are good. There's a diner down the street that makes omelets with them, and it's delicious.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
That's the worst sounding poptart flavor I've ever heard of, jillnorman.
Trevor (Texas)
Vending Machine in the break room...Frosted Strawberry Pop Tarts...$.85...I win.
Mike (Ohio)
Uh yeah, "Buzz", you can eat scrambled eggs with all kinds of stuff, including peppers. Get with the times!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
You've never had a Denver omelet? They put green peppers in there.
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
I'll stick with Pop tarts, bacon, and steak thank you
toaster strudel (toaster)
but I'm so flaky and delicious....
Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]
Deep fried pop tarts are tasty as well.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
People who try to inject sports into a pop tart conversation need to get lives.
Louis (Montreal)
Deep fried pop tarts? When there is never enough dough...
Matt (IN)
So Buzz, what steak should I grill this weekend, t-bone, porterhouse or a strip?
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
porterhouse
Nathan (Manassas)

Brian (Madison, WI)

Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)

Abigail (mendham)

Anthony (NY)

Buzzmaster (10:33 AM)

Brian (Madison, WI)
The most important part of the day is happy hour.
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
agreed. 4-7pm is the best time of day
aaron rodgers (Buzz's closet)
brat or hamburger?
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
brat
Chris (Philly)
The porterhouse and T-bone are essentially the same cut, except that the t-bone has a bigger strip side, and the porterhouse has a bigger fillet side.
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
thanks Chris for that bit of info
Clinton (Indianapolis)
The best time of the week? Quitting time on Friday. Worst time of the week? Bedtime on Sunday.
Clay (Charlotte)
You have happy hour during the SN show? Might want to rethink your career choices.
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
the show ends at 4 and so do I
Trevor (Texas)
Why work anyday when you don't have too....right Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)

David (Orland Park)
Happy hour is 8am for you Brian
fred (omaha)

Will (Framingham)
Why is everyone grilling Buzz today with dumb questions? Cmon Aaron, we all know Buzz is a Brat nut!
tom* (parkville, md)
Pehaps a sundeck should be built on the ESPN campus.
Buzzmaster (10:38 AM)
sounds good ...i can get out there for a nice tan
David (Orland Park)
Buzz tanning > beached whale
Brian (Madison, WI)
Buzz goes out there for a nice tan and he blinds the whole ESPN staff.
JB (TX)
Buzz, the sun isn't big enough to tan you.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Buzz can never get a nice tan, it will always be uneven due to his flaps, since buzz, you know, is fat.
Brandon (Albany)
Buffalo is a great american city....or that is what the sign says when you drive into buffalo
Brian (Michigan)
Rule #1: No fatties on the sundeck. Sorry, Buzz.
Buzzmaster (10:41 AM)
why not, we need to look good too
Nolan (Hartford)
Anything is a great american city compared to Albany.
Lifeguard (Beach)
BEACHED WHALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keith (MD)

There's a trick to getting fat people to start looking better. Yeah it's stop eating so much fattie!
Buzzmaster (10:42 AM)

Brian (Michigan)
Maybe we can spray tan some muscles on you, Buzz.
Brett (Butler,PA)
Buzz,who would you rather stare at?Jennifer Aniston or Jessica Simpson?!?!
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
Simpson
Brandon (Albany)
Good to know....hopefully we kept the wings
Tom (River North)
As long as Simpson doesn't speak, right Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:44 AM)

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Trevor (Texas)

Buzzmaster (10:45 AM)

David (Orland Park)
people are on fire today. Well done Wingo.
stephanie (cincy)
Simpson? Never saw that coming Buzz. I thought you would go for Anniston.
Anthony (NY)
The Jessica Alba of 2 years ago though
Nolan (Hartford)
Brandon, I personally want to apologize for calling out the city of Albany as scummy. I didn't realize we had people from NJ in this chat...
Buzzmaster (10:46 AM)

JB (TX)
Whats the longest you've ever stared at a kolache before inhaling it? 2 seconds? 2.5??
Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
I saw Hartford once. I reflexively threw trash at it from my car because I thought it was a landfill.
Trevor (Texas)
Buzz, do you start celebrating after you've inhaled 75% of the kolache?
Buzzmaster (10:49 AM)

Keith (MD)
Buzz: being from NJ explains alot.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I think Buzz is a Rutgers alum.
stephanie (cincy)
Nolan, stop watching the "Real Housewives of NJ" to formulate your stereotype.
chauncey (teaneck)
what is so bad about new Jersey?
Brian (Madison, WI)
I was in the Hartford airport once and I felt dirty.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Be nice guys...none of you live in the armpit of America, have you ever driven across Kansas or Nebraska?
Drew (Buffalo)
Lunch: pizza hot pockets and mountain dew.

Michael Scott (@ Chili's)

Clinton (Indianapolis)
I eat mine at 11:30. That's right in the middle of my work day.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)
Get to work at 7 am and therefore 11 am is my lunch time. So there.
Brian (Madison, WI)
