Stu Gotz returns for his duties with The Dude on the Right for another episode
of a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. The Dude explains to Stu why he probably
won’t be going back to Hooters with his BFF anytime soon, Stu gives his insight
into "Beverly Hills Chihuahua, and who knew that Beanie Babies aren’t worth $30
anymore? There is also some talk about the Chicago Bears, guns for kids,
and people who forward stupid e-mails that pretty much have no chance in hell of
being real, along with more movie talk and Stu explaining he wasn’t have a heart
attack last weekend.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! No More Hooters, Football, A Chihuahua, and More!
By:
The Dude on the Right
Stu
Gotz is back! That’s right, he’s here in all his nasally glory for another
episode of our
"Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. With Stu back he tells of a birthday party
for one of the Little Gotz’s, complete with a trip for a group of little tykes
to see "Beverly Hills Chihuahua." Stu mentions if he liked the movie and
also if it good for kids, that even though he saw it a while ago he didn’t think
"Speed Racer" was that bad, and hated the ending of "How to Lose Friends and
Alienate People." Movies aside, I tell Stu about my and the BFF’s
experience at Hooters which was simply supposed to be a to-go order of ten
medium flavored wings which turned into a forty minute odyssey resulting in two
giant orders of cold fries, two orders of blue cheese and celery, two large
glasses of water, ten wings that had no sauce whatsoever, and a feeling that the
BFF and I will not be visiting, at least not together, a Hooters anytime soon.
And if that isn’t enough for fifteen minutes of conversation, Stu and I also
discuss Mama Gotz wanting to sell Beanie Babies on eBay, guns for kids, a fake
e-mail about Barak Obama dealing with The American Flag and The National Anthem
(come on people, use
snopes.com), and, ever so briefly, we talk about movies that will be opening
this weekend.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stock Market Woes, Movies I Won’t See, and Jillian Michaels’ Inspirations of the Week.
The Dude on the Right is just as flustered about the stock market as you might
be, but he just tries to make you remember the motto – "Buy low. Sell
high." Sure, his other tip is "Don’t pet a burning dog," but if the stock
market is nearing its low, you know what, ten years from now, unless the world
totally falls apart, your buying now will be flying high!
Inspiration is a big topic of this podcast, granted it might not have to
do with "South Park," or any of the movies opening this weekend, or if you are a
subscriber to "Rolling Stone" you now have batteries to properly dispose of, but
The Dude is now fascinated with
Jillian Michaels
from "The Biggest Loser," and introduces his new feature, "Jillian Michael’s
Inspirations of the Week." Go ahead and add it to your iPod for some
inspiration just when you are thinking of quitting.

Okay, I admit, I’ve been a little lax in getting some new reviews posted, but
that doesn’t mean I have nothing to say, so here I am with
another Thursday podcast. Sure, I’m flustered that the stock market
lost 679 points, but you know the saying – "Buy low. Sell high."
Well, things are low, so it might be time to buy, unless, of course, things go
lower, in that case you bought too soon. I don’t think anyone really
understands the stock market, except maybe Warren Buffett, but then again, he
likes to hang out in Key West drinking margaritas. Oh, wait, that’s Jimmy
Buffett. Actually, drinking margaritas might not be a bad idea right now
if you look at your 401K, but don’t worry, at least the boys of "South Park" are
handling our worries about China and the raping of Indiana Jones.
There is a
bastion of movies opening this weekend, which leads me into a rant that, thanks
to an add in "Rolling Stone," I now have batteries to properly dispose of.
Maybe to dispose of them I should walk, or maybe jog, or maybe run, to the
appropriate disposal place, but if I did try this I know I would want
Jillian Michaels,
the dudette trainer from "The Biggest Loser," to kick my ass to get there.
And
so comes my transition to our new feature, which still needs a new title, but
for now it’s simply "Jillian Michaels’ Inspirations of the Week." Yup, she
has sayings to get you through your exercise regimen, she has a saying to
inspire you in your life, and and think a line from the first episode this
season will remain a staple of this feature through this fall’s run of "The
Biggest Loser."
I guess I’ll just wrap this up and say have a good weekend and
thanks for listening!
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Chicago Sports, Stu’s Schnoz, Apples, and A Happy Faced Barn.
The
Dude on the Right thinks he knows how Stu Gotz would sound if he were here for
this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, but he does sound kind of lonely doing this
podcast (The W.G.N. – Where are you?). He’s not lonely, though, because he
and his BFF did something way out of normalcy for The Dude – apple picking, in a
state called Wisconsin, in a city called Mukwonago, at a place called
The Elegant Farmer,
where a barn with a smiley face brings in the kids, only to have them in
kid-crabbiness about four hours later. Thank God for those Apple Cider
Donuts, which aren’t always made on time!
The Dude also laments about the downfall of the Chicago baseball teams in the
extended season, with the Cubs imploding and the White Sox becoming another lame
fan base with white towels (bad-ass would have been black towels for the series,
throwing in the towel is for losers, white ones, and that’s what the White Sox
became – at least says The Dude on the Right).
The Dude, at least, had a Chicago Bears win to be happy about.

Stu
Gotz was worried about his ticker but found out it was only his giant nose, so
I’m flying solo for
this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, and even though my impression of Stu sucks,
and I don’t keep it going throughout the podcast (mostly because it would have
probably been really annoying), I let you know what Stu sort of sounds like
right now, or maybe not. But this is a podcast about my weekend, and like
many Chicagoans, it was a lot about sports. Sure, the Chicago Cubs
finalized their meltdown, with this year’s team securing their history in Cub’s
lore as the team that made them not win a World Series in 100 years, and the
Chicago Bears are actually looking good, and as a Kyle Orton athletic supporter,
I was happy to see him do well, but were the Detroit Lions really a good
indication of their Bear-ness? And then there are the White Sox, breathing
life into the hopes of Chicago baseball fans, or at least south-side fans, for
another game. The crappy part is that as I’m typing this, and recorded the
podcast, the White Sox aren’t doing well (in fact they lost), and I’m blaming
their losing this series on the fact that the White Sox management people urged
fans to wear black, but then gave the fans those dumb-ass, white, towels, which
you might as well just call "Homer-Hankies," or something else gay like that,
instead of refilling the order at "Bed, Bath & Beyond" for 40,000 black towels.
Blackouts only work when everything is black, and I hate to create my own
conspiracy theory, but what the hell? When the Chicago White Sox had their
original "blackout" for the one game playoff, well, fans donned their black
outfits, the fans were given black towels, and on TV it looked eerily cool,
especially with Halloween coming. Then came the playoffs, and on TV you
know what looks contrasting? People dressed in black while waving white
towels. Do you know who waves white towels? Managers in the corners
of a boxer, a boxer who is about to be pummeled beyond all recognition.
They don’t throw in a black towel; they throw in a white towel, and that’s what
the White Sox fans are flailing above their heads during this game. Black
towels are south side Chicago – White towels are lame-asses.
Enough
about sports and TV conspiracy theories, my weekend also included something way
out of normalcy for me, thanks to my BFF, and it might be something both of us
needed – a trip to do some apple picking, at some place called
The Elegant Farmer,
which plunged me into a world of wondering if people have fallen off of the
hayride, why we kept getting in line at the donut shack only to have them run
out of donuts, and I don’t care how the apple people try to sell it – hail
damaged apples look gross, I’m not putting them in my basket, and I have no idea
how I didn’t fall off of that ladder!
Most of my weekend was really about
apple picking, so I’m sorry for the baseball rant, but in a bizarre way I
thought the Chicago White Sox could actually pull off a second win, but with
those dumb-ass white towels, the White Sox fans now look like every other dorky
fan in the Major Leagues. A blackout means black, that you are a bad-ass –
white towels mean you give up.
And, oh yea, during this podcast I also tell
how I might start a new spotlight dealing with "The Biggest Loser."
This is
probably the longest synopsis for a fifteen minute podcast ever, but I can’t
believe both Chicago baseball teams sucked this bad.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Elevator Etiquette, Duh, Steve Fossett Isn’t Found Yet, and Simple Math.
The
Dude on the Right is fired up for this podcast but it’s not about the
Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox losing their first games in the baseball
playoffs. Nope, The Dude can’t understand the actions of a dude in an
elevator, he’s worried that he missed out on some easy grant money for studying people
at a Chinese Buffet, and even though Steve Fossett’s plane has been found, he
wonders about Steve Fossett actually being found. And if you have found,
in your e-mail, how you might be better off getting a financial windfall rather
than AIG getting their bailout, you might want to pull out your calculator to
figure out how you’re going to be spending your "windfall" of $425.00, and not
$425,000. And if you are a dudette or a gay dude, you might want to start
watching "Survivor: Gabon" and tell the PTC (Parent’s Television Council) to
butt out of your newfound hap-penis.
Elevator Etiquette, Duh, Steve Fossett Isn’t Found Yet, and Simple Math.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Sure,
for this podcast, I could rant and rave about the Chicago Cubs and Chicago
White Sox losing both of their first games in the baseball playoffs, but
something more important crept into my psyche today, and this might sound
stupid, but it simply dealt with pushing a button in an elevator. And
speaking of stupid, well, there was a study done about people who eat at a
Chinese buffet, and I just worry that I lost out on grant money for a study of
"duh." And speaking of studying, a hiker found some stuff that Steve
Fossett owned while the dude was hiking, stuff that didn’t burn up in the crash
that has now been found, but where is the body of Steve Fossett, and is there
any reward money for the dude or should he at least be able to keep the cash
that he found? And speaking of cash, there’s an e-mail going around about the
bailout of AIG that would net adults in the United States $425,000 each, but the
math is wrong. No, you don’t get $425,000 which might save you from your
own financial crisis, you would actually get $425 which probably won’t help you
pay off your mortgage, might help you get into the world’s crappiest college,
you could buy a shitty car, or purchase about 1.08 shares of stock in
Google should you decide to invest your windfall in the stock market. Me,
I’m not so much pissed that I’m not getting $425,000.00, I’m pissed I didn’t
think of writing that e-mail and let my sister disseminate it to the rest of the
world.
Lastly, the PTC (that’s the Parent’s Television Council) is upset with
CBS again. You figure out why, but if you’re a dudette or gay, you might
just start TiVoing "Survivor: Gabon."

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Ghost Town.”
The trailers for the movie "Ghost Town" showed a kinda funny, kinda quirky
movie, and for the most part it was, but The Dude on the Right does his best,
during
his movie review of "Ghost Town," to try and explain that funny and quirky
are fine, but dragging things out during a movie is not. The Dude liked
the jokes, laughed a bit, but thought the movie was too long. His BFF was
a little more harsh in her rating for the movie, so it’s probably a good thing
for the movie folks, at least for The Dude’s rating, that The Dude really likes
a good dick joke, even if it was about a dead dude.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Lots of Movies, Sports, and Spelling Julio.
It’s
a Monday so it must be time for
a new episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, and right
off the bat Stu Gotz decides to put a different spin on a romantic moment that
The Dude on the Right and his BFF shared while having dinner at
"Uncle Julio’s Hacienda"
in Chicago. Stu tries to make up for it with a not-that-humiliating story
about not hanging up his phone after leaving a message, but as the podcast goes
on there is a lot of movie talk, with "Hoot,"
"Eagle Eye," "The Hammer," and "Ghost Town," being some of the topics.
There is also some talk about the new design of the Chicago Tribune, and the
both of them discuss sports, especially since, in Chicago, it’s been weird with
the Chicago Bears beating the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chicago Cubs waiting for
the post-season, and the Chicago White Sox needing to win things in the weirdest
ways to keep the nightmare of a Cubs-White Sox "World Series" alive.
The Dude also does his impersonation of Tina Fey impersonating Sarah Palin, but,
well, The Dude’s not that good.
