For this podcast of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!”, The Dude on the Right relives fraternity days thanks to a story in a campus newspaper and Stu Gotz’s recollections. They also talk about recent movies, and words caught on tape, by Stu, at an Easter Egg Hunt that Stu has to try to figure out how to erase so that his kids can watch the tape and not ask “What is a MILF?”

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Freaky Fraternity Visitors, Movie Talk, and Nice Easter Eggs.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Baseball is coming, and so is Easter, and Stu Gotz joins me for another
podcast of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!"
This episode opens with me
questioning Stu if fraternity life has changed as much as a news report seems to
say it has, and he reminds me of the foot-fetish caller that dialed our
fraternity house during meals. We also talk a little bit about
"Blades of Glory," but I let Stu know that if he wants to see a great movie,
"The Lookout" might want to make it to his list.
We both were up to date
that Donald Trump didn’t get his head shaved for
"Wrestlemania,"
although neither of us actually thought it would be The Donald’s hair getting
the cut. Stu’s weekend also took an interesting turn at an Easter Egg Hunt
where, while Stu was filming his kids, a friend of his comes up and starts
commenting on the Easter Eggs on the MILF’s at the hunt. Stu’s got some
video editing to do if he wants to actually show this video to his kids.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

I’m Not Sure What It Costs, But You Can Get Your Own Naked, Chocolate Jesus. Happy Easter!
By:
The Dude on the Right
Easter
is coming, and all of us know that for Catholics, well, Easter is all about the
Easter Bunny, Easter Eggs, breaking out your new spring outfit, and going to
church one of those two times a year. In fact, lately, like Christmas has
become about Santa Claus and presents, Easter has now become about chocolate.
Forget the Christian teachings of Jesus getting crucified and rising from the
dead to save our sins, most of us just want the chocolate, or hope that that
Easter Egg we found might hold a few bucks rather than candy. And yet,
when an artist, sculpturer, dude, decides to sculpt a life-size Jesus out of
chocolate, and wants to display it in a New York gallery, suddenly a bunch of
Catholics get their panties in a bunch and squash the display. Sure, the
Jesus is displayed without a loin-cloth, so yea, that means his wiener is
showing, but maybe people should worry more about their religion rather than a
naked Jesus made of chocolate.
And for me, this seems to be what is so screwed
up about the world today: Religion. The problem is also that this
seems to be what has been so screwed up about the world for, well, forever.
Religions preach tolerance. Religions preach forgiveness. Religions
preach "Love one another" no matter what. Yet when someone’s thoughts,
beliefs, ideals, religion, is different from yours, or you sculpt a six-foot
Jesus out of Chocolate, suddenly all of that is thrown out the window, other
people are heathens, and they will rot in hell because they aren’t one with the
Easter Bunny.
The dumbest part of this story – I would have probably not found
out about this chocolate Jesus if a group of Catholics didn’t complain. It
would have been another piece of art some fool would have spent huge amounts of
money on to put in his living room (which now would have to be permanently
chilled), so that he could say "Look, I’ve got Jesus, made out of chocolate.
Please don’t eat his penis."
Welcome to the season of Easter.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
And, oh yea, the artist-dude who did the sculpture is
Casimo Cavallero,
and that’s where I got the picture of the naked, chocolate Jesus from.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Sanjaya is Safe Again, and Maybe Paula Abdul was Watching “Bruce Almighty.” It’s Good.
For this podcast The Dude on the Right is mostly focused on all things “American Idol.” Sanjaya is safe again, and The Dude is starting to think he might be more influential than Howard Stern. He’s still happy Gina is safe, is thinking of starting a Haley fan-club, and wonders if Paula Abdul might have been watching “Bruce Almighty” before the show.
Sanjaya is Safe Again, and Maybe Paula Abdul was Watching “Bruce Almighty.” It’s Good.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Flying solo for
this podcast all I am really excited about is "American Idol." I know
that’s sort of sad, but that Sanjaya dude is really the only thing keeping me
interested in the show, except, well, also Haley because she is cute, and Gina
because she is from a town near where I live, and she is looking better and
better every week. So I guess I have a triplet of reasons why I am still
interested in the show.
And yes, you probably already know, but Sanjaya is
safe for another week. It might be Howard Stern’s listeners, it might be
the votefortheworst folks, but I’m going to start to take credit and say that it
is the billions and billions of people who can visit our site and can listen to
our podcast that are making the difference. I have been on the "Vote for
Sanjaya" train for a number of weeks now, and that train is heading across the
nation.
Paula Abdul was a little more subdued than normal this week, so it’s
not really a great week for my "Paula Abdul Clip of the Week." Even so I
think Paula might have been watching
"Bruce Almighty" before the Tuesday night show. You know why?
Because "It’s good."
Thanks for listening.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Dammit, I’m Still Voting for Sanjaya (and Haley and Gina)! And Dammit 2, Gwen Stefani is Still Hot.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Gwen
Stefani looked utterly adorable in her little clips, but I have to say she
didn’t come off that great as a vocal coach. Vocals aside, what she really
needed to do was coach some of these folks on stage performance, because, sadly,
some of them seemed to really be lacking this week.
In any case, this episode
was the "music of No Doubt or music that inspired No Doubt" week. What we have
learned is that Donna Summer and The Police seemed to have the most influence on
the band, and that Sanjaya loves to change his hair so we should vote for him.
Here’s what I thought of this week’s performances…
Lekisha: Sang Donna Summer’s "Last Dance." Ugly-ass dress, still sings
great and performs well. I hate being superficial, but she needs to fix those
teeth.
Chris (big hair): Sang The Police’s "Every Little Thing She Does is
Magic." Sounds bad, and is trying to up the performance aspect, but man, it just
doesn’t seem to be working, and he’s still off on the tempo side.
Gina: Sang The Pretenders’ "I’ll Stand By You." Sticking with the punkish
outfit works for her, sounded fantastic, but the only problem I had was she
didn’t work any of the stage.
Sanjaya: Sang No Doubt’s "Bathwater." I looked up at the screen as he
started and yelled "Oh my God!" Why? Because his hair was set up in sort-of
Mohawk mode. He wasn’t good, and I’ll bet the 10 to 12 year olds will still love
him. He had moments of being able to sing, but for the most part he was bad, and
I’m still voting for him. Simon said it best with "I don’t think it matters
anymore what we say." Simon recognizes the magnitude of the Sanjaya movement.
Haley: Sang Cyndi Lauper’s "True Colors." She has the entire pop-idol
package, from the looks to the good-enough voice. It will be interesting if she
can just stick around because they can mold her into the next Kelly Clarkson,
but this performance was just okay.
Phil: Sang The Police’s "Every Breath You Take." Bad skull-cap, but I
think they are using it to cover his bald head that I think looks worse. I
thought the performance was blah compared to what the judges said.
Melinda: Sang Donna Summer’s "Heaven Knows." Still a great voice, knows
how to perform, but back in my superficial mood, could afford to lose a few
pounds (don’t get all anorexic on me now, please), but those couple of pounds
puts her into "Whitney Houston in her prime" mode.
Blake: Sang The Cure’s "Love Song." Took a great song and "bored" it up.
The passion of Robert Smith seemed to be totally lost. I really didn’t like him.
Jordin: Sang No Doubt’s "Hey Baby." I was in the Jordin camp, after
Sanjaya of course, but she didn’t pull this one off at all. Maybe it was better
live for the audience, but for me on my TV it missed the sexiness of Gwen.
Chris (less hair): Sang No Doubt’s "Don’t Speak." Looked stiff as a board
at the beginning, still looked stiff as a board in the middle, and even getting
away from the mike stand, still looked stiff. Sounded okay, but the performance
blew.
I now have only three reasons to watch "American Idol." One is Haley, who
might not be the strongest singer but has the entire "Idol" package. Two is Gina
because she has a good voice and is from my neck of the woods. And of course
three is Sanjaya, because if he won he would be the best Non-American Idol idol
ever.
I’ve been voting for Sanjaya early, and often. I only wish I had some dead
relatives who could also vote. At least Howard Stern has his listeners, I can’t
even convince Mama Gotz to vote for Sanjaya, but hopefully Stu Gotz was able to
sneak in a couple of votes.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Trump Wants The Dude, Stu Saw Some Nija Turtles, The Dude Saw a Sniper and a Sandler, and Bad Starbucks’ Etiquette.
For this podcast of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!”, The Dude on the Right tries to impress Stu Gotz with his letter from Donald Trump. Stu doesn’t really care because he’s got Starbucks’ issues. They both, also, saw some movies, including “Shooter,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” and “Reign Over Me.” And in Chicagoland this weekend, they both enjoyed the nice weather.
Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Trump Wants The Dude, Stu Saw Some Nija Turtles, The Dude Saw a Sniper and a Sandler, and Bad Starbucks’ Etiquette.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Stu sneezed. You couldn’t hear the sneeze because he turned his mike off,
but trust me, he sneezed. I burped, and trust me, you can hear me burp
because I didn’t turn off my mike. Stu Gotz has better manners than I do,
and as disgusted as he might have been with mine he goes ballistic about
someone’s lack of Starbucks’ etiquette. And so we are here for another
episode of
"Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!"
Starbucks aside, and the NCAA March
Madness aside (since I’m now officially a loser in all of my pools), pretty much
for both me and Stu our weekends were about movies and enjoying the nice
weather. Me, I saw
"Shooter" and
"Reign Over Me," and let Stu know whether or not he should add either to his
Netflix cue. Stu, surprisingly for me, went to see "TMNT," that’s "Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles," and lets me know that if I had kids, or a Netflix cue,
that I shouldn’t plan on trying to see the film.
I also brag to Stu about how
important I must be because
Donald Trump sent me a letter. Well, not really a letter, but an
invite to a seminar complete with George from "The Apprentice." It doesn’t
look like The Donald will be there, and Stu is still wavering if he wants to
come along. I still have to check my schedule if I want to give up this
internet career for one in real estate, although I bet the real estate career
might pay better.
I did forget to remind Stu about our rallying cry for
another week, or at least Tuesday night with "American Idol" coming up, and that
is simply: "Vote for Sanjaya!"
Thanks for listening.

Go Oregon, Georgetown, and OSU. And Keep Your Shoes On!
By:
The Dude on the Right
With the Southern Illinois Saluki loss the other night, I figured I was totally
out of my NCAA March Madness pools, but with a little analysis I realized I
still might have a chance. Sure it’s a long shot, but there are only a few
things that need to happen in the next two days of basketball that keep me
alive.
The first thing is simply that The Ohio State must win, since I’ve got
them winning the whole kit and caboodle. But for the rest of everything I’ve got
the underdogs winning, which if it happens, that would be my upper hand. I’ve
got Oregon beating Florida, and then beating either Kansas or UCLA to get to the
championship game. Then I’ve got Georgetown beating North Carolina, but losing
to The Ohio State. That sets up my Oregon/The Ohio State final, with the
Buckeyes winning in a defensive battle.
Sometimes those crazy brackets are so confusing, but not as confusing as my
latest trip to the movie theater.
I went to see
"Shooter," the Mark Wahlberg flick where he plays a sniper. It’s about five
minutes before showtime and in the row ahead of me something disturbing happens:
Suddenly I see two people, and four feet in white socks (at least the socks
looked clean), using the headrests in front of them as footrests. These weren’t
even rebellious teenagers, the couple looked to be in the mid to late twenties.
Cell phones and screaming babies aside, the movie-going experience is quickly
becoming a chore, especially since someone’s parents didn’t impress upon their
kids that A) You shouldn’t put your shoes on the seat in front of you, and B)
Even worse, you shouldn’t take your shoes off and put your feet on the seat in
front of you. Sometimes I just hate people.
Well, I would like all of you out there, no matter your NCAA picks, to cheer
on Oregon, Georgetown, and of course The Ohio State. I would also like to remind
you to keep your shoes on.
And of course, Vote for Sanjaya!
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
Go Salukis, Go Buckeys, and Go Haley, Gina, and of course, Sanjaya.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Stu tells me that Mama Gotz is not on the "Vote for Sanjaya" train, but for
this podcast it seems we didn’t need her this week. Yup, my three
favorites are still safe on "American Idol," namely Haley, Gina, and of course,
Sanjaya. They weren’t even in the bottom three!
But as much as having
Sanjaya continue during this season of "American Idol," nothing is more
important for me tonight than the Southern Illinois Salukis somehow beating
Kansas. Salukis, you are my only hope in my "bragging rights" in my
brackets. I don’t know who any of the players are, but if they can get to
the Final Four I have a chance to win, I mean brag about my picking abilities,
to a couple of people. But then again, if Ohio State loses to anyone, I’m
screwed.
In any case Paula Abdul seems to want to see Simon Cowell naked,
somehow "Paint it Black" becomes "Paint it Purple," and somehow Sanjaya is safe
for another week. And this podcast has the audio to prove it.
Damn I
love TV!
Thanks for listening and your comments.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
