Stu Gotz was stuck in Sandusky, OH, for Easter with a broken down RV and two anxious kids, to The Gotz family made the most of their vehicle troubles with a trip to Castaway Bay, a hotel with an indoor water park. Such was his weekend, as he tells The Dude on the Right during this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. Meanwhile, The Dude spent some quality time with his BFF in Downtown Naperville, IL, seeing "Observe and Report," and hanging with his BFF’s family for Easter. All in all, broken down vehicle and all, it was a nice weekend for the both of them.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Sandusky, OH., Naperville, IL., Observe and Report, and More!
By:
The Dude on the Right
Well, our Weekend Wrap-Up! podcast is a day late because Stu Gotz got stuck in Sandusky, OH, thanks to his "tenement on wheels," also known as The Gotz RV, taking a crapper on The Ohio Turnpike. With Cedar Point still being closed for the season, lucky for him there were a batch of hotels with indoor water parks attached, and The Gotz Family spent Easter at Castaway Bay where they ended up making the best of things. So, for Stu, pretty much his weekend was all about traveling the highways and byways of our great land. Me, on the other hand, spent some quality time on Saturday afternoon with my BFF, hanging in downtown Naperville, IL, and then the both of us catching "Observe and Report." We also did some church-going on Easter Sunday, I’m still the "Crack-the-Egg" champ, and I tell Stu about my Facebook addiction, namely Pirates, and now Hatchlings and Mafia Wars. I’m also addicted to Mafia Wars on my iPhone, so feel free to join my iPhone Mafia crew (My player ID is: 5203 1552 22).
Hopefully our vehicles will be in driving order next week so our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" will be on time, and maybe I’ll check if The W.G.N. is free this Thursday for a podcast, although he might be partying it up on Spring Break. We’ll see!

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Observe and Report.”
The Dude on the Right reviewed the movie "Observe and Report," and wanted to like the movie a lot more than he did. His underlying problem with the movie: The film folks decided that for most of the last third of the movie Ronnie (Seth Rogan), the head of mall security, would turn into a complete nutjob. Sure, part of it is because he gave his bi-polar medicine to Brandi (Anna Faris), but The Dude thought the movie was really holding its own as a comedy up until that part. Thankfully, for The Dude, the movie took a funny, yet bizarre turn, at the end, to save it a bit.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Being Tired, Adventureland Talk, and The Dude Can’t Mix Crap.
The Dude on the Right is pretty tired from being up all night with a dog that wanted to lick carpet. During this podcast episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-up!" he tells Stu Gotz all about it, and then realizes he is happy it wasn’t Stu licking carpet that kept him up all night. The boys also have movies to discuss, mostly "Adventureland" but a little about "Monsters Vs. Aliens," and TV is also a topic of discussion as the boys talk the return of "Rescue Me" and then analyze "Celebrity Apprentice." All that and more in this week’s episode, so listen up!

Well wouldn’t you know it, Stu Gotz and I come up with a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast with not one, but two technical difficulties. But that’s okay, because we make them meld together seemlessly, in fact we talk about so much stuff that you probably wouldn’t even notice if it wasn’t for us pointing them out. Now as for what we talk about, how about this list:
- The movie "Adventureland"
- A sick dog that likes to lick carpet
- The return of "Rescue Me"
- The movie "Monsters v Aliens"
- The ALL commercials on "Celebrity Apprentice"
- Wishing Farrah Faucett get well wishes
I would get more creative about what is in the podcast, but really, I’m tired, just want to take a nap, and if you listen to the podcast you will find out why. Hey, I suppose "Why I’m so tired" should be in the above list.

Inaugural Blu-ray Reviews of “Pinocchio” & “Quantum of Solace” from The W.G.N., and a Movie Review of “Adventureland” from Me!
By:
The Dude on the Right
Finally I am getting back into the swing of things after my vacation to Dreams Villamagna last weekend (more on that in the coming weeks), and thanks to the inaugural Blu-ray reviews from The W.G.N. of "Pinocchio" and "Quantum of Solace," all I had to do was write about seeing "Adventureland." As far as those Blu-ray movies, The W.G.N. liked "Pinocchio" (and who doesn’t?), although he does get a little conflicted with the Blu-ray version because even though it does look good, he still can’t stand the black bars on the sides because it just seems like such a waste. He liked "Quantum of Solace" on Blu-ray a lot more than I did in the theater, but hey, to each their own, and I was as snookered as many of you might have been, thinking "Adventureland" was some kind of "Superbad" remake, but it’s really not, in fact it’s a really good movie but more in an adult/artsy kind of way.
I’ve got my new calendar/todo application for my iPhone to keep me organized now, I’ve got my new "what the hell am I eating and how little am I exercising" tracker was well, and in a matter of weeks the dude-pad renovations will be complete, so "Back to normal!" is now the rallying cry for the 2nd quarter of 2009. Oh, who the hell am I kidding, 2009 is looking like nothing like normal, I guess I should just keep writing, keep posting, and enjoy the ride!
That’s it for this one!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! (Sort Of): Hangin’ With no Drug Lords, Kidney Stones, Idol Talk, and Underwear in a Bag.
With The Dude on the Right being out of the country over the weekend and not returning until Tuesday, there wasn’t an opportunity to do a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast with Stu Gotz, but The Dude connects with Stu today to podcast with Stu about the vacation that he and his BFF took to Dreams Villamagna in Nuevo Vallarta. The Dude has a nice time down there, even learning about using towels to save your beach chairs and putting your dirty underwear in a bag, but the resort seems to be having some growing pains so sadly he can’t highly recommend it at this time (The Dude is hoping to write a full-blown review in a week or so.) Vacation aside, both of the boys watch "American Idol" and have some comments about Megan Joy getting the boot, and Stu isn’t a Lady Gaga fan, and Stu also had what he thinks were some kidney stones last week, but thanks to a homeopathic remedy of lemon juice and olive oil, things seem to have subsided. They’ll be back on Monday for a normal wrap-up, but The Dude was excited to tell Stu that he didn’t see any drug lords in Mexico, to at least there was that.
Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! (Sort Of): Hangin’ With no Drug Lords, Kidney Stones, Idol Talk, and Underwear in a Bag

With my being in Mexico and not finding any drug lords, there wasn’t time for a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast on Monday, so instead we get a Thursday podcast with Stu Gotz. As most of my time for the past week has been being spent on vacation, I give Stu my initial take on the resort my BFF and I stayed at, Dreams Villamagna, where we didn’t hear any gunfire but did find that it took too long to get food and that typos can be funny. And me, not being the seasoned traveler, get confirmation that you should take a bag to put your dirty underwear, as my BFF instructed me. I found that I hated the "reserving your lounge chair with a towel" status quo, and thankfully I didn’t get diarrhea, but damn, did I fart a lot!
Stu, meanwhile, had his own issues while I was off gallivanting the Mexican countryside, or at least laying on a beach, namely that he got some internal distress with self-diagnosed kidney stones, and discovered a homeopathic remedy of lemon juice and olive oil does sort of work, but with some consequences.
Lastly, without seeing any movies in the theater, I give Stu my take on "Rachael Getting Married" with Anne Hathaway, while we both do some discussing of "American Idol" and the booting of Megan Joy.

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Got Junk, The BSG Finale, March Madness, and F.F.W.D.-P.P.O. Syndrome.
The Dude on the Right had some redecorating and key-losing issues to deal with, hence a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast being posted on a Wednesday, but hopefully by now The Dude is getting over his issues he had at church on Sunday, which he relates to Stu Gotz in detail during the podcast. Stu is at least keeping up with some TV watching and regales The Dude with some "Battlestar Galactica" finale talk, The Dude did catch a movie, "I Love You, Man", with his BFF, and tells Stu if he should take Mama Gotz to see it, and with The Dude’s redecorating, he found a company that will take away your junk, yet leave their own junk behind. And lastly but now leastly, Stu may have discovered a new ailment affecting dog owners, namely "F.F.W.D.-P.P.O." Syndrome.
Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Got Junk, The BSG Finale, March Madness, and F.F.W.D.-P.P.O. Syndrome.
By:
The Dude on the Right
As my BFF is kicking my ass in some March Madness bracket games, I’m surprised I even have the desire to talk to Stu Gotz, but alas, we sit together, along with one of the Little Gotz’s, for this fun-filled podcast episode of Stu & The Dude’s "Weekend Wrap-Up!" I give Stu a quick review of "I Love You, Man," which I would really like to sit down and write a full blown review, but alas, I also tell Stu how home remodeling is turning my life topsy-turvy
and introducing me and my BFF to a junk company called "1-800-Got-Junk" that did a great job taking my junk even though they did leave their own junk behind. I also rant to Stu about my experience at church on Sunday and how times like that in church just make me want to quit going and hang out with nature. Stu, luckily, talks me down, and shifts topics to the fact that I’m not watching TV, even missing the "Battlestar Galactica" final, although he does give me a bit of his take on how the series ended.
Stu also questions how "Lover’s Lane" and a Modest Wear for Muslim Women store share the same strip mall, and he finally has discovered "Fu-Fu Wimpy Dog – Psycho Pet Owner" Syndrome thanks to Peaches Gotz getting herself fixed (Bob Barker would be proud). That, and as always, more, in a quick twenty minutes of excitement.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the
Right!! L8R!!!
Dude Note: Sorry for the delay in getting this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" posted. A previous tweet explained it is due to dust and other shit. Part of that "other shit" was due to my losing my keys, which might have been a little pay-back from the Big Guy for my podcast ranting. Thankfully my BFF is still on His good side. Anywho, here’s a slightly delayed posting of Stu and my podcast that we recorded on Monday. DOTR
