Buzzmaster (10:00 AM)
Gooooooood morning!
Usain Bolt (still running)
Buzz I'm gonna make this the fastest chat in history
Marc (Big D)
It is Friday, I feel wide awake and I haven't had any caffeine yet. Are they related? I think so. TGIF!
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
Before we get too far into this, I want to say Happy 50th Anniversary of Statehood Hawaii!!
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
If we had an ESPNHawaii, I'd move there in a second.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Good morning, folks! Happy Friday!
Anthony (Ny)
Good Morning Buzz
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Aloha Hawaii!!!
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
What's the Buzz, Buzz?
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Happy Friday SN, and Happy 50th Birthday Hawaii!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Hawaii 5-0 is the big 5-0 today!
Ryan (San Diego)
You have ESPN on the westcoast...it's pretty close
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
No SNTV chat at four today. Now all I have to look forward to is the weekend.
Trevor (Texas)
Good morning SN.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Clinton remembers when Hawaii was just one small island.
Zack (Louisville, KY)
I don't think Hawaii is up this early.
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
I don't care. I'd get up at 4 a.m. to do this chat if I were living in Hawaii.
Jason (Tampa)
Man... no cool graphic of google in like a grass skirt.. How am i supposed to know about this holiday
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
But, Buzz, if you moved to Hawaii you'd have to have the MB at 5:00 a.m.
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
Buzz, you've let too much nonsense go on around here lately. Let's have a good, clean chat or else I'm gonna have to drop the hammer on these scrubs.
Michael Crabtree (Holding out)
I can't believe you posted Usain Bolt before me. Everyone knows I'm better. I'm holding out.
Clay (Charlotte)
Morning Buzz, Happy Friday everybody, think we can have a conflict free TMB? Me neither.
Chris (Philly)
Buzz, you can't even wake up at 10 for this chat.
tom* (parkville, md)
Remember that winless season when Memphis made the Final Four?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Conflict free? No. Less conflict than last Friday? Absolutely.
JB (TX)
If Buzz moved to Hawaii they'd confuse him for a new island. Because, you know, Buzz is fat...
Zack (Louisville, KY)
If Buzz lived on Hawaii, the island he lived on would sink. You know, 'cause he's fat.
Buzzmaster (10:05 AM)
Which is it?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Not sure you could handle the pineapple-flavored pop tarts though, Buzz.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
I think I'd rather stay up til 4 a.m. to do this chat, if I were living in Hawaii.
Jason (Tampa)
Usain bolt could run faster in the 200 than it took me to type this message
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
More likely that this chat would be held in the afternoon for the mainlands.
Matt (IN)
Good morning everyone. I hope the days go by quickly.
Patches O Hullahan (Dodgeball arena)
If you can dodge wrenches, you can dodge balls.
Michael Jordan (Nike HQ)
JB's comments are overrated.
Plaxico Buress (Rikers)
Does accidently shooting myself in the leg give me enough 'street cred' to survive prison??
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
I'm tired of you.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I must be the only person in the world who has no desire to go to Hawaii. Not a fan of the beach or volcanoes or 14 hour plane rides.
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
I know. I'd rather hang out in Scranton.
Zack (Louisville, KY)
Afternoon Buzz. That's just weird, man.
Clay (Charlotte)
I really don't know how anyone graduates from the University of Hawaii, would you go to class? Cause I wouldn't.
Louis (Fredericton. NB)
First step toward a conflict-less MB: do not post Jon from Madison weird logic
Ryan (San Diego)
I dont even think the Patches imposter spelled his own name right
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Actually Buzz, I'll take Olrando, FL over Hawaii. As for Scranton, we Dunmoreans tolerate it but don't embrace it.
Ritch Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
Imposters who can't spell their own name right need to get lives.
Ryan (San Diego)
Hawaii is amazing...especially Kauai. Although it is only a 6 hour plane ride, which makes it easier. Lazy Scranton is nice too though
Awayne (INDY)
Never understood why Hawaii doesn't have the best college sports programs.How could a 17yr old turn down 5yrs on the Big Island?
tom* (parkville, md)
Scranton and Hawaii aren't that different. For one, I've never been to either, so I make ridiculous statements comparing them.
Clay (Charlotte)
Louis it's actually more lack of logic than weird logic.
Jason (Tampa)
How does it work for fantasy is Ochocinco cathes a TD and also scores the extra point? BONUS?
Ryan (San Diego)
How does one say Orlando is better than Hawaii without having been to both?
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
I hate ACL tears... Especially in the preseason.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I don't think any of the Madison residents have posted yet today. Must have overdone Thirsty Thursday a little too much, even for them.
Justin (Chicago)
Hawaii isn't exactly sports capital USA, or a big sports market for that matter
Louis (Fredericton. NB)
The Bengals should use Ochocinco kicking skills more frequently in game. The risk of trick play would keep the other team tacklers at bay
Jason (Ellicott City)
Can someone inform awayne from indy that U. Hawaii is on Oahu and not the big island?
Jason (Tampa)
Well if i went to U of Hawaii, i would hope my major was like Beach sitting or beach sports or if it had to be serious Marine Bio... who would want to be a IT major in Hawaii?
Anhony (NY)
It's a day that ends in Y so the people from Madison were drinking for the special ocassion
Clay (Charlotte)
Ryan it's easy to say it, here I'll do it, Orlando is better than Hawaii...not that hard.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Well one difference is that Scranton has never had to worry about a volcanic eruption wiping out an entire city. So they've got that going, which is nice.
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
I'm pretty sure the Big Island is the only one with active volcanos and that's not one of the big tourist islands. So I think you'd be OK.
Jason (Tampa)
Why Orlando? unless you really love Disney... its hot and humid with no beach
The Suits (Bristol)
Buzz even if we had an ESPNHawaii you could never move there. There isn't anything capable of hauling your fat rear end that far.
Bob (Lowell)
Who you trying to kid. You can't move anywhere in a second at your weight.
Clay (Charlotte)
Beach sitting? As in sitting on a beach or babysitting people on a beach?
Marc (Big D)
I may be in the minority, but I still can't believe Chad actually changed his last name to Ochocinco. Well I can believe it, but you know what I mean.
Aaron (Virginia)
Hey Buzz, Do you expect the braves/marlins, and rockies/giants series this weekend to leave a clear cut favorite, or just leave the teams in the same spot after they beat up on one another?
Don (San Francisco)
I saw the U of Hawaii basketball team play once - full of players from all over the world. They beat our team, but I can imagine that they have a hard time concentrating at practice too.
Pete (NC)
A girl I knew went to U of Hawaii because apparently they have a good architecture school. That and great beaches.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I may be in the majority, but I don't care about Chad Ochocinco.
Jason (Tampa)
Beach sitting = sitting on beach as class 101 and people watching as class 201
Tom (Peoria)
Ahhhh, the good old days. I remember when I was here every day eating my oreo's. I feel like I haven't been here in years.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Jason: Considering that I've vacationed at WDW 14 times, I think it's a safe bet that I love the place.
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
Thanks for my computer and desk chair.
Rigidy (Hartford)
Hawaii would never allow it. Can't risk Buzz tanning on the beach in a thong. The tourism would never recover.
Clay (Charlotte)
Tom, I'll second that.
Dave (vt)
I mean baseball is alright and all but once football starts they should just have a 16 team playoff and call it good.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Someone needs to hint to Chad, after his kicking debut, that Pele Ochocinco has a nice ring to it.
Justin (Chicago)
Rigidy, they have beached whales in Hawaii all the time
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Did any of you catch that I really don't care for beaches all that much? I mean I told you how much I didn't like Ocean City, MD just last week.
Buzzmaster (10:19 AM)
Hold on...I gotta get out my J.B. notebook that I keep daily.....yup, right here, two weeks ago, I have an entry that says you don't like Ocean City. Dang, I should have checked my J.B. journal first.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Honestly, if I had to pick one between baseball and football, gun to the head as Simmons puts it, I'd pick baseball.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
So I turn 30 tomorrow, I believe it's all downhill from here on out.
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
At least it falls on a weekend. Glass half full.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Hey, Buzz, be sure to clean up all that sarcasm you spilled on your keyboard.
Dave (vt)
J.B. that would be like a foreigner saying that since they've been to NJ they dont like the USA all that much.
Clay (Charlotte)
J.B., Buzz has slept since then, he doesn't keep up with our lives.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
That's the way I feel about the NBA, Dave. Once the MLB season starts, the NBA should just gracefully fade away.
Jason (Tampa)
J.B: Im a fellow PA resident in the past. Went to PSU, been to Orlando about 5 times, its great. But i guess never been to hawaii so it has a mystique.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
But the downhill parts of the rollercoaster are the best parts, Johnstone, so just throw up your hands and shout WHEEEEEEE!
Mike Gundy (Stillwater)
Whatever Johnstone! You're not even a man! I'm a man! I'm 40!
Hayden (logan, utah)
Clinton, you would be shot dead if I was holding the gun, football is way better
Don (San Francisco)
Yup, say goodbye to your metabolism Johnstone.
chaz (sa tx)
plaxico got 1.5 years for wearing sweats to a club.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
The one thing in Hawaii that interests me just a bit is this hot dog stand where they actually insert the dog into a hollowed out bun. Not worth the expense of getting there to try it though.
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
Isn't that a corn dog?
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
That's a bunch of garbage, and the editor that let it be printed makes me wanna puke!!!
Jason (Tampa)
Ive been to Ocean City, MD and been to the bahamas. I have to agree with Dave. There is a difference between beaches in the northeast and tropical places
Louis (Fredericton. NB)
Johnstone, just drink until you black out. That way you won't remember turning 30 and can keep pretending you're still 29
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I remember turning 30. I think it was the same year Indiana became a state! That was a good year!
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Johnstone, you're just below middle age. You still have some more hil to climb before you descent into the grave.
Justin (Chicago)
No, I believe it's a bagel dog
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Everyone here remembers everything about everyone else. My bad for assuming anyone would remember me posting that I didn't like O.C., MD. Thanks for the serving of sarcasm this morning, Buzz. I missed breakfast.
Scott (Brewtown)
Never been to Hawaii, but I have been to St. Lucia and it is awesomsauce!
Don (San Francisco)
Nope, Buzz - puka dog - http://pukadog.com/
Matt (IN)
Life in your 30s > Life in your 20s. You will figure that out.
Dave (vt)
I was just in St Lucia on my honeymoon 2 weeks ago. Twas dankness.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I don't think I could live in Hawaii. I think the tourists would bother me too much. I don't have that problem living in Metro Detroit.
Ryan (San Diego)
I like the golf in Hawaii...and the pools. And all of the complimentary cocktail parties at the hotels
chaz (sa tx)
maui was awesome. i snuba dived and hiked this 15 mile bamboo forrest to get to this 200ft water fall.
Scott (Brewtown)
There's no difference between our beaches here and in the Carribean....except for the temp difference......and the smell......and the dead alewives on the beach.....and the lack of good looking women.....and....oh never mind
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Matt, that;s what thirty-somethings say to make themselves feel better.
Greg (Ellicott City)
No, Matt. Your weight in your 30s > your weight in your 20s.
Marc (Big D)
Mmm I could go for a puka dog with some awesomesauce.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
These are all encouraging posts, I knew I could count on the MB...
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I'm sure Hawaii is great for those who enjoy beaches and lounging around and who don't have or mind long plane rides. Just not worth the effort for me. I think it's best we move on now. How about some ONB, Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
OK..but just a warning, it's going to suck extra today. But, let's do it.....
Rick (Philadelphia)
As a dedicated Eagles fan, I have a question about the public perception of Michael Vick. Why do you think people are so caught up with Vick's dog fighting offense, but don't speak out about Plax having a gun in a public place or Stallworth driving under the influence and killing someone? I understand dogs have a special place in our hearts, but to neglect addressing vehicular manslaughter and possession of an unregistered weapon is ridiculous. What do you think?
bell (florida)
sport center sucks bolt break the 200 record and cant make the top ten. we see baseball everyday and night. alittle bit of bias or alot of hate. haters pity.
Bill (Treasure Island, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA)
Hey Buzz, what did you eat for breakfast this morning?
Rick (Somerset, NJ)
Regarding Memphis - The problem with college basketball is that the NBA is forcing kids to go to college and the colleges are admitting them.If the kid cannot get 700 on the SAT he will not be able to the work.
kamren (new york)
do you think the eagles should have two great quartebacks on the same team
Dylan Bernhardt (Jackson, New Jersey)
Should the Jets sign Marvin Harrison or should they try and trade for Brandon Marshall?
S Jackson (Lexington, Ky.)
I think that the NCAA needs to take some of the blame for the Memphis situation. It was them that cleared Rose to play, not Memphis or Coach Cal. If they're going to issue sanctions, then issue some to themselves.
ruckus (sa tx)
I'm not sure I'll make it to TMB, so... lunch chat: I'll probably lick chaz before he leaves for work, so to get the taste out of my mouth... I'll be having some of my own poop.
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
And that's it.....or, that's all I can handle for today.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Holy chat overload, Buzz! Slow it down!
Godish (Chicago)
Happy Birthday Jim McMahon.
Justin (Chicago)
Man I hate the ONB...
Louis (Fredericton. NB)
I like the ruckus post. But way too much NCAA basketball. Somebody might have mistaken you for Andy Katz
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Don't you think the Eagles should get 1 great QB before they get 2?
Brian (Madison, WI)
When I went to Hawaii my buddy and I went golfing with a local. Regardless if the putt is downhill or uphill it goes fast towards the water and slow away from it. My buddy couldn't figure it out and finally one putt he missed the local reminded him and my buddy freaked out and yelled "We're on a (expletive) island!" One of the funnier things I've seen.
Matt (IN)
No on both accounts. Life is great for me and I haven't gained any weight. Sorry.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
No this is an actual hot dog roll hollowed out. I saw it on the Travel Channel, I think. It keeps the condiments from dripping all over you.
Clay (Charlotte)
Where's steph's story about the guy getting stabbed?
Keith (MD)
Here is an interesting story about Hawaii. Eating dinner at a restaurant and a roach crawls across the table. The waitress takes a napkin and kills the bug. She states that it is impossible to get rid of the bugs and leaves the dead cockroach in the napkin on our table and walks away. TRUE Story
Chris (Philly)
It's funny, I didn't see any Eagles fans sticking up for Vick a few years ago. Now they are pointing the finger at other players.....interesting......
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
lol, S Jackson from Lexington throwing out a UK basketball defense for coach Calipari. Didn't see that coming...................... not
Jessie (BB jury house)
What's that? Lydia will be here this week. Sounds good to me, she will be really happy to see me. *flexes*
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
I don't get why they kept Natalie and not Lydia. Lydia is on the verge of self-destructing. She's not going to win anything if you keep her around.
Louis (Fredericton. NB)
Steph must be keeping her story for th elife network movie of the week: The killer chef
Drew (Buffalo)
I have to come up with a way to market state quarters for my company..... how can one appear to make quarters interesting enough to pay more than the value of the quarter?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
The only thing I know about BB is that one of them got prematurely evicted by the producers for, ahem, freaking out.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Man, with Robert gone I thought the Big Brother chat would go with him. Whoever is keeping that alive: for SHAME!
Hayden (logan, utah)
Are there any restaurants in Jersey without cockroaches? I really dont know, someone please answer.
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
That's illegal procedure against Brendan for using "lol" in the chat. You know better than to do that. 5 yards and it remains 2nd down.
Cory (PA)
Well, I'm an Eagles fan. I didn't care about Vick before the charges were brought, during the trial, during his incarceration, or now. My powers of apathy are truly yawn inspiring.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
True that Buzz, Natalie is better at physical and mental challenges. Lydia is just useless.
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
The only thing is one of the groups wants to try and get her on their side to help win stuff.
Scott (Brewtown)
Well, I knew it was too good to be true. No BB chat for ages, but like ole #4 it's back........
Rigidy (Hartford)
no, it wouldnt work on the Life network. For Life to pick it up, the chef would need to be beating his wife at home and she ultimately gets revenge on him somehow.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Drew, say the quarters once belonged to famous people. Use obscure B-List stars to make your story more believable.
Chris (Philly)
If you plant the quarters, a magic beanstalk will grow.
Blueman (IN)
82% of Eagle fans will demand Vick starts if the lose a game at any point of the season.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Maybe talking about Hawaii and my not desiring to go there wasn't so bad after all.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
I really think that Jeff is planning on getting rid of Russell after Kevin told them the little lie about Russell talking to Michelle about getting rif of Jeff. Next week is going to be good.
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
They have to make a move at some point. When is the key.
Mike (St. Louis)
Ahh. The sweet sound of Cubs fans crying over another lost season.
Jason (Tampa)
We should have a Shaq vs. Usain Bolt. Shaq runs 100m and Usain runs a 1000. any bets?
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
For instance, "This quarter once belonged to Bea Arthur"
Don (San Francisco)
Drew: Have a vending machine that flattens the quarter like it was run under train tracks. Make it be worth 50 cents. Works for pennies, at least.
Drew (Buffalo)
Once, while working at a restaurant between MD and NYC I saw a cockroach and chef fight to the death, they both ended up dying. We left both there and just kept working
Drew's Boss (Buffalo, NY)
We really want to get rid of that Drew fellow but don't have a reason, so I gave him some stupid quarter project that he will fail at miserably. He's as good as gone
Hayden (logan, utah)
Hold on, note it buzz, JB doesnt want to go to Hawaii.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Out of all the boring dreck that comprises reality television, Big Brother is the boringest dreckiest of them all.
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)
LadyBuzz got me watching. But I'm storing up the points for football season.
Nate* (Madison)
I suck, I suck, I suck, I suck....... oh yeah and I suck.
Louis (Fredericton. NB)
Jason, have you seen Shaq running recently? Bolt would have top run his 1000 uphill for Shaq to have a slim chance
Ryan (San Diego)
I couldnt stand the people on this season of BB so I quit after 2 shows
Snagglepuss (Boomerang)
Heavens to Murgatroid! Tom's grasp of the linguistical arts are stupendferous!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I confess that I used to watch Survivor and I watched one season of Big Brother, but just lost interest in it. I guess the novelty of it wore off.
Clay (Charlotte)
Tom, I totally agree with you, but I think you might get your point across better if you used real words.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
OK gang, just got a warning over the radio about a possible tornado not all that far from where I am. No direct warning for us...yet.
Tim (NJ)
how did Plaxico get 2 years in prison for shooting himself? thats weak. And I dont even like him but he didnt hurt anybody all he did was have a weapon. Donte Stallworth killed somebody and got less. OJ Simpson killed somebody and got none at all, same with Ray Lewis
Buzzmaster (10:38 AM)
Please don't start this...Plax got 2 years for carrying an unregistered, concealed gun in NYC, the strictest place for gun laws. Stallworth settled with the other family and they were OK with it. OJ...well, who knows with that. And Ray Lewis actually didn't kill anyone.
Tom (Peoria)
Get under your desk J.B.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Is it a warning or a watch? Being an Oklahoman, I tend to not worry unless it is a warning for my neighborhood specifically.
Rigidy (Hartford)
Thanks J.B. Im writing that down. i feel like im learning so much about you today.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
That movie Twister was awesome!
Jeff (BB House)
I'm keeping my eyes on Russell and Michelle. Especially Russell. You know, when I'm not looking at Jordan.
JB (TX)
Never watched Survivor, BB, AI, or DTWS. I did watch the first couple seasons of the Apprentice, but then it turned into an hourlong commercial for whatever Trump was pushing that week and I quit. Best reality show in TV right now: Hard Knocks w/the Bengals.
Drew (Buffalo)
Wow, Tim, you make a great point that no one ever brought up before ever. It seems so obvious once you say it. PS- Ray Lewis didn't kill anyone.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Tim, just stop it. I'm in too good a mood to have this "debate" again.
Hayden (logan, utah)
I with buzz, earn points with the lady with shows like survivor, amazing race, etc, but know when to draw the line. I will not watch the batchelor
Scott (Brewtown)
I don't worry about tornados until the siding is being ripped from the house
Louis (Fredericton. NB)
"And Ray Lewis actually didn't kill anyone" .....That we know of
Buzzmaster (10:41 AM)
"And Ray Lewis didn't kill anyone in the case that he was investigated for."
JB (TX)
You know what would be awesome? If that tornado picked up other J.B.'s house and dropped it on a beach.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
But, but, the jury ACQUITTED OJ. Don't spoil my illusions, please!
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
The only reality show I ever watched was the first few seasons of The Real World. Back in the days of Puck and Pedro.
Buzzmaster (10:42 AM)
I did watch some of that. I since stopped watching the "Real World" all together when they were set up with multimillion dollar homes and jobs for their time in the house...cuz, ya know, that's exactly how it works in the "Real" world.
Justin (Ohio)
I know I'm loser because I am enjoying the Solheim Cup.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Come on Buzz, even the law isn't 100% effective. Just watch Law and Order. Still, he wasn't accused.
Drew (Buffalo)
Psh, save up points? I don't have to do that at all. I sit home alone every night and watch whatever I want on tv...............
Chris (Minneapolis)
boom roasted Louis (Frederiction, NB)... i hope someone gets this reference
Steve (NJ)
I want to thank Tim (NJ) for making NJ look worse than usual.
Jordan (Peoria)
So catching up, this is the J.B. and stupid subjects we already covered, chat?
Tim (NJ)
does anyone watch soccer? I am psyched ESPN is showing premier league games on weekends now.and c'mon now why do you guys believe the atheletes?
Brian (Madison, WI)
I agree. The new Real World they should set you up in the slums in some run down house and make them find their own jobs. Maybe set them up in Detroit and tell them to go find a job.
Steve (NJ)
As opposed to the first season, Buzz? When they got the entire top 2 floors of an East Village building to call their own, and DIDN'T have jobs?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
You know what would be better, Best Buy JB? If no tornado hit anyone's house because it isn't funny.
Drew (Buffalo)
I have watched a few episodes of the real world this season but none in a row and I feel like every time I watch it, someone left the house. They started with 8 and are down to 5, as far as I can tell.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
If they made a Real World: Detroit, I would watch that. So long as they lived in Detroit, not a ritzy suburb like Birmingham or West Bloomfield (applies to all parts of West Bloomfield but the one I live in).
Scott (Brewtown)
And we enter the JB wars....
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Yeah, I live near the Real World house in Chicago and it has been turned into a gym. It would be one of the most expensive houses in Wicker Park/Bucktown.
Steve (NJ)
They should set people up in a 2-bedroom apartment but put 4 people in it, and make sure the A/C is a window box made in 1976. Then, they should systematically fire all four of them to see if they can keep paying rent. THAT I would watch.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Real World = Drunken Big Brother
Dorothy (Not in Kansas anymore)
No it's not very funny. Especially that annoying scarecrow.
Don (San Francisco)
I don't know about everyone else, but I go into my closet every day and talk to a camera and get things off my chest.
Godish (Chicago)
Yeah, those stupid Real World kids in Chicago lived across the street from a delicious pizza place called Piece. Lucky punks.
Chris (Minneapolis)
Lunch: Whatever Buzz doesn't eat, so nothing.
Jordan (Peoria)
Lunch: Getting the house ready for our first showing tonight! Hopefully we sell quickly
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
A better Real World would be to drop them all off in the middle of a city with no lodging, no money other than what they bring with them, and no jobs. Now THAT'S the Real World I'd watch.
Zack (Louisville, KY)
What's for lunch, SportsNation?
Brian (Madison, WI)
I'm convinced the house I lived in when I was 21 could have easily been taped as a reality show. I lived with Nate and 6 other guys that were as ridiculous or more ridiculous than Nate and myself. Entertainment came at all times in that house. Not the healthiest of houses either.
stephanie (cincy)
I've heard that pizza place had a stabbing in the kitchen
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Steak 'n' Shake. Bowl of chili and a big ol' plate of fries.
Keith (MD)
Lunch: beef stew
Don (San Francisco)
Lunch: Going to try to find a bagel and a hot dog
Cory (PA)
Lunch: Subway to make up for the horrible decision that was a Hot Pockets breakfast.
Scott (Brewtown)
Lunch: With the first blast of fall weather (low 60's and stiff northerly winds) I think I will be having Chili - from Real Chili
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Lunch, something on the run. Traveling over lunch to the Chicago 'burbs. Was hoping I would be a near a 5 Guys, but no dice.
Brett Favre (via mobile)
This chat is boring. Let's talk about Favre.
JB (TX)
The Real World lost me after the Vegas season. San Diego was good, but since then they've all been downhill.
Buzzmaster (10:52 AM)
I never watched a full season, just episodes here and there. That last one I can remember watching was when that guy slapped that girl who had lyme disease or something and he was kicked off the show.
Awayne (INDY)
No Steph it was a delivery driver that got stabbed and the pizza place sued his "estate" for the cost of the pizzas he didn't deliver.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Lunch: 5 miles, I probably need to do more since I am apparently going to get fat starting tomorrow.
Clay (Charlotte)
Lunch: ..... I got nothing, I just want to contribute to the lunch chat
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Lunch: Eggplant parmesan pizza made by my wife. Outstanding work!
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Lunch: We'll see when the storm passes. If all is well, probably a grilled chicken wrap with some Frank's hot sauce, chips, and a diet Sierra Mist. Skies seem to be lightening so I'm hopeful.
Ryan (Florida)
mmm i want pizza now lol.
Marc (Big D)
That was like '93 Buzz. It is an awful show, but just really entertaining. Another reason why people hate this country.
Hayden (logan, utah)
Lunch? What about breakfast?
fred (omaha)

Drew (Buffalo)
Lunch: Psh... I dunno, roast burger combo at Arbys.

J.B. staying with the chat even through a tornado. He's like the post office, except probably slightly more functional.

Flirt with the cop Brian.
Anthony (NY)
Brian your lucky that they didn't give you a breathalizer test than you would be in some real trouble.
Brian (Madison, WI)
The large, burly cop probably would not have enjoyed me winking at him. And it was one of the few times throughout the week where I was completely sober.
Awayne (INDY)
Lunch:Tums with a Pepto Bismol chaser.
Clay (Charlotte)
