Remember the late night war? Made all the news and the tabloids? While all that was going on your four friends behind The Buried Life were raising hell to try and cheekily cross off #18 on the list — Tell a Joke on Late Night. Did it happen? You’ll see at 10pm tonight. Do we get arrested? Yes.
ps we’re on Rachael Ray today (check local listings). What’s up RR fans!
The next episode coming up is one of our favorites. It’s an epic tale that covers New York, Los Angeles and the backseat of a police car.
Thanks for all the emails guys. We’re getting closer. If you know anyone that knows the big guy, feel free to give us a shout: crew@theburiedlife.com

If Obama didn’t know about The Buried Life already, he certainly will now. Thanks to all those that have emailed us with tips! Join the 1,000,000 people on Facebook.
If we can pull this one off then we’re definitely doing #182: Play Shuffle Puck with President Jimmy Carter
The countdown begins.. Tonight night at 10 PM EST on MTV worldwide: #95 Play Basketball With Obama
Zach (left) was recently diagnosed with a life threatening illness. We
met during an event in Seattle. When we asked him what was
on his list he told us one thing: climb a mountain.
Kym (right) we also met during an event in Seattle. She was one of the
group
of strangers who we took out for dinner as part of #49 on the list.
Much of our conversation during that dinner focused on one thing: her
weekend plan to go out and climb a mountain.
Coincidence? We’re not sure. Either way we made sure the two were put in touch. 2 days later this photo arrived. Together they summited a mountain and crossed something off of both of their lists. What do you want to do before you die?
If you wanted it bad enough, how would you and your friends go about playing a game of basketball with The President? (for those that don’t know, MTV doesn’t help with this stuff.. check out the history of The Buried Life here)
#95: Play Ball with Obama. By far the most ambitious item on the list. See the full story: Monday, Feb 22nd at 10 PM on MTV
Many people are asking how they can get involved in each of these stories. If you want, check out the legendary Street Kingdom Krump Crew and the well-known Homeboy Industries, which advocates much of what Travon wants to put out in the world.
And for those wanting Travon’s song.. download it here and pump that shttt!
Time has come. #33: Compete in a Krump Competition. We couldn’t run from this one.. 10pm.
We’re reporting LIVE from the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver and mannnn is it crazy up here!
Jonnie with his new girlfriend Cheburashka (they’re in a fight..)
We’ve been on a whirlwind tour of the west coast these last couple days. Spent this weekend in Seattle taking strangers out for dinner (#49 on the list) and raising money for the kids’ cancer center down there (more than $600 & more in toys!). Couldn’t believe how supportive everyone was that came out. Big thanks.
Then we moved up to Vancouver, where Duncan stole a gold metal from Ross Rebagliati. The police are currently in pursuit so please do not let anyone know our whereabouts.
Can’t wait for tomorrow! Watch the video below to understand #33 on the list. Tune in 10 PM on MTV to see what happened when we rolled into South Central LA to try and cross it off..
KRUMP = intense from traffic9 on Vimeo.
#33: Compete in a Krump Competition has been on the list ever since we saw the documentary RIZE. We don’t know how to krump so we had to go into South Central to find out. Easily the most intense episode of the season. See you in 2 days.
“Holy sh*t!” #33: Compete in a Krump Competition. This is what’s coming Monday: http://tinyurl.com/yaq9w65

Dave’s face moments before #79 goes check
Tonight we go after one of the most ambitious items on the list — #79: Deliver a Baby. We were told child birth was a life changing experience. Some say it’s a miracle, others pass out. We were eager to find out.
btw, photos are starting to surface on our Facebook page from sneaking into The Playboy Masion party in Episode 1. Playboy had no idea what happened that night. We had to ask their permission to air the episode afterwards with a handwritten letter to Hugh Hefner himself. Hugh read it and agreed to let us air. Below are some pics people are posting:

See you tonight at 10.
Ernest Hemingway said you need to do 3 things in order to become a man: write a book, run with the bulls and have a son. We’re working on the book, we’ve run with the sheep in Idaho (a start), but until the day comes that we have kids of our own, we decided to do the next best thing.
Welcome to Episode 4. The most challenging list item to date.. #74: Deliver a Baby MON at 10 PM on MTV
This video was made in the summer of ‘09 to try and win over Megan Fox, Ben’s “dream girl.” It was shown in a parking lot across the road from the premiere of Transformers 2. Valentines Day is coming up. If you want to ask someone out (before you die..) and need a place to post your video/love-letter/knock-off blockbuster, let us know and maybe we’ll post it up here on the 14th for all to see. You can email us here.
What do you want to do before you die? Post it.
This just in. Michael Bay wanted Shia Labeouf to come in for the premiere, so we moved it to tomorrow morning at 9 am. Either that, or it’s taking too long to upload to YouTube. Either way, it’ll be up here by 9.
For all those that missed it last night, here you are. 3 of 5 done so far. Next week.. “#74: Help Deliver a Baby”
“Transformerz 3” will premiere right here on our website at 9:00 PM EST tomorrow night. Micheal Bay said he wanted to come for the big release..
It’ll be up by this time tomorrow. In the meantime — post your list on TBL on Facebook and Twitter.
