Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Movie Talk, Football Talk, Scuba Talk, Garth Talk, and More Talk.

Again, finally. Stu and I have been able to connect again, finally to do a
podcast. Again, finally. As much fun as it is doing a podcast alone,
it is so much funner to do them with someone, and for

this episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" we’ve got a lot to talk
about, and it’s not even about when Stu was away.

Nope, our weekends were
action-packed, with both of us seeing

Fred Claus and giving our takes on it, and I hip Stu into many things
football, especially the Chicago Bears new quarterback controversy and the Ohio
State Buckeye’s implosion. Stu tells me that I was right about printer
cartridges, and I was at a 60th birthday party. We also talk some about my
seeing an upcoming Garth Brooks’ concert, Stu has a lot of scuba talk, and
intermixed in all of that is even more, like both of us digging Natalie Portman!

Thanks for listening!

A Funny SNL, A Literally Crappy Saturday, and A Couple of Movies.

By:

The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz and I couldn’t arrange to get together

for this podcast, and even though we anticipated this last week, we didn’t
try to get a Skype-type connection together either. I was able to test my
magic box to try and have Stu call in and do a phoner weekend wrap-up, but it’s
one patch cable away from maybe working. Technology aside, my weekend was
kind of an up and down kind of thing. My Saturday was perfectly planned,
including calling mom, seeing "Bee Movie," having some tacos for lunch, and
eventually ending up seeing Johnny & The Leisure Suits that night. All I
know is I should have broken my streak of not having fast food rather than the
tacos, and now I’ve got to find a new taco joint because at about 4PM intestinal
distress destroyed my Saturday night, hence a crappy Saturday.

And speaking of Saturday night, thanks to my TiVo, I watched "Saturday Night
Live," hosted by Brian Williams, on Sunday, and have to admit it was probably
the first time I made it through the entire episode. I thought Brian
Williams did great, his

SNL Short was funny as hell, there was a

funny, fake, iPhone commercial (complete with a hacked iPhone), and I want
to compliment whomever is doing the sound for the bands this season.

Intestinal woes aside, I was able to see "Bee
Movie" and "American
Gangster," and thanks to my friend Crash I’m now okay with not liking the
"Bee" thing.

Stu and I should be back together again next week, I hope. Thanks for
listening!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! The Bears Blow Up, Stu saw Movies, The Dude and a Wheel, and a Bachelor Meltdown.

By:

The Dude on the Right
Thank God it’s a Monday and Stu Gotz is here for our

"Stu & The Dude Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast because I’m a little distraught
that I

wasted a Sunday afternoon watching the Chicago Bears. I was also able to get
a lot of things off of my chest, like feeling bad for the people who dumped
their loved-ones ashes along the vines at Wrigley Field, and my not getting
picked to go on stage for the
"Wheel of Fortune"
auditions. Back to Wrigley Field, Stu and Mama Gotz had an idea for making some
money for a charity via sod, with Stu boasting about his heritage brothers, and
Stu also saw a couple of movies,

"Smokin’ Aces" and

"Employee of the Month," thanks to cable and his Netflix queue, but couldn’t
understand a dude he observed while he just wanted some breakfast. Lastly, I
give Stu a listen as to why last week’s "The Bachelor" might have been the
greatest episode ever.

So much to talk about in under twenty minute. Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! The Dude does Movies, Stu does Jewel, The Dude Walks, and Stu MySims.

By:

The Dude on the Right
The fall weather
finally seems to be upon us here in Chicagoland today, but the weekend was
anything like fall. I’m surprised Stu Gotz was able to make it, but here we
both are for our

Weekend Wrap-Up Podcast! Me, I did catch a couple of movies, namely “The
Comebacks” and “Rendition,”
so I give Stu my take on them, while Mama Gotz took Stu to see Jewel who
still

hasn’t sent Stu some of her underwear. We also talk some sports
especially since the loss by the Cleveland Indians left me in mourning,
but talking with Stu about the Chicago Bears win got me to afternoon.

As far as the enjoying the weather
part I at least got out to enjoy it with a couple of walks, while Stu missed it
although he did walkthrough his MySims game.

I also tell Stu about my dream to be
on "Wheel of Fortune," and since they are having auditions in Chicago
this weekend, I’m thinking of giving it my shot as the "Wheelmobile"
visits nearby for an upcoming Chicago taping. Sure, the website says over
a million people tried out with only 600 getting on the show last year, leaving
my chances at actually making it all the way to the show at something like a
whopping .06%, but hey, what else would I have to do on a Saturday afternoon
other than see "Saw IV?"

Thanks for listening.

Who Cares About Don Imus, O.J. and Jail, Paris Hilton is a Good Girl, and Go Cleveland Indians.

By:

The Dude on the Right
Well, I’m flying solo

for this podcast even though it’s a Monday, because Stu Gotz and I couldn’t
get our schedules to match to do a weekend wrap-up. In any case I tell you
a little about my weekend, namely seeing "We
Own the Night" and "Michael
Clayton," and posting a review of Michael Stanley’s latest CD, "The
Soft Addictions." More of this podcast, however, is about some things
to hit the news today, like O.J. Simpson’s "friend" ratting on him, thus maybe
securing jail time for "The Juice," and how Paris Hilton wants to now
leave her mark on the world, and she’s starting by going to Rwanda. I also
can’t figure out why Don Imus getting a new job is news especially since
I think my podcast can be a hell of a lot more entertaining, and even more so
when Stu throws in his five cents worth. I can’t wait for the first full
radio rating’s book to see if Don has more listeners than we do. Fine, he
probably will, but we’re still more entertaining!

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! The Cubs are Gone, The Bears are Back, “Balls of Fury” is Done, and Stu is “Sim”ed.

By:

The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz was so anxious to get things started for our

weekend wrap-up podcast that he talks over our intro music, but that’s okay
because we both have so much to talk about. Stu got the privilege of attending
the last Chicago Cubs game of the season and witness the culmination of
the last 99 years of Cub history. Me, I had a chance to go to the game but opted
out to feverishly finish our

"Stu & The Dude Reviewin’ the Movies for You!" episode of "Balls of Fury"
before it’s totally out of theaters.

With the Cubs done with their season I
also fill Stu in on the Chicago Bears and how they are turning their
season around and now are destined for the Super Bowl. We also discuss The
Chicago Marathon, especially since neither of us had any delusions of
running in it, even without the high temperatures of the day. Stu, meanwhile,
has become an addict and might need an intervention soon. Nope it’s not alcohol
and it’s not drugs – his lawn still needs mowing because he’s becoming addicted
to the MySims for his Nintendo Wii.

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! “The Big Bang Theory” and More TV, The Cubs and More Sports, and eBay Dummies.

By:

The Dude on the Right
On a dreary Monday, after a Chicago Bears’ loss, nothing brings joy to my heart
like chatting with Stu Gotz about our weekends

for our podcast. Thank God Stu was around to actually participate, so we
chat a lot about new TV, especially "The Big Bang Theory," a little about
"Chuck," Stu got weepy at Flower’s death on "Meerkat Manor," and
I’m getting sucked into "The Bachelor" again.

On the movie front I
regale Stu with my tales of seeing "The
Kingdom," while he gives his breakdown of his Netflix viewing of "The
Darwin Awards." It also being the Monday after a Bears’ game we also
talk some sports, especially since the Chicago Cubs won their Division and are
in the playoffs. Stu also gets worked up a lot, especially about a stupid eBay
bidder and helping an elder with a computer, so he drops a few F-Bombs here and
there, but just feel lucky that you didn’t get to see him scratch his balls.

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! A Family Outing, Watching Movies, Chicago Sports, and Breaking in Shoes.

By:

The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz is back from his cruising the highways and byways of these United
States with the Gotz family, in his tenement on wheels, and rejoins me for this
week’s

Weekend Wrap-Up Podcast! Stu talks a tad about his trip and his seeing "Invincible"
and "Shooter,"
while I tell Stu to stay away from "Good
Luck Chuck," even though it has tons of what Stu likes to see, namely boobs.
We also breakdown, well, I breakdown The Chicago Bears loss to the Dallas
Cowboys yesterday, and hope the Chicago Cubs can hang on and not have the worst
collapse, or at least one of them, in baseball history. Stu also tells me the
proper way to break in new running shoes, or at least his way, sadly two days
too late for the back of my heels, and we are both excited about the new TV
season starting, especially the return of "Heroes," but were disappointed in the

Christian lady who bolted from the "Welcome to Our Land" ceremony on last
week’s "Survivor."

Thanks for listening.

O.J. Simpson, The Bears, The Browns, Mr. Woodcock, Once, The Emmy’s, and No Stu.

By:

The Dude on the Right
It’s a Monday which would normally mean it’s a Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!
Podcast, but sadly Stu Gotz is traveling in his RV, or as he calls it his
"Tenement on Wheels," with Mama Gotz, the two little Gotz’s, and the two dog
Gotz’s. Lucky him! In any case, that leaves me flying solo

for this podcast which had more things happening over the weekend than I can
fully discuss in about fifteen minutes, but I give it a try.

I’ve got football
talk about the Chicago
Bears and the
Cleveland Browns; I’ve got talk about

O.J. Simpson being arrested in Las Vegas; I’ve got talk about the
movies I saw over the weekend, namely

"Mr. Woodcock" and

"Once"; And we find out that you might not be able to say "Goddamn,"
"Screwing," or mouth the word "Shit" on broadcast TV anymore. We found
that out during the Emmy Awards last night, and also found out having an award
show "In-The-Round" probably isn’t a good idea. I just can’t believe the
Fox folks censored Frog from "Smokey and The Bandit." Welcome to "We
really aren’t sure what we can broadcast anymore" TV.

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Britney’s Mom-Ass, “Shoot ‘Em Up” Talk, and Smelly Coffee.

By:

The Dude on the Right
Sneezing is a part of allergies sometimes, and Stu’s nose is all full of
allergy, but he’s muddling through it for

this podcast of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" Stu’s weekend wasn’t
that exciting, just finishing up his basement cleaning and being amazed at the
olfactory senses that his son possesses. Me, I regale Stu with my seeing

"Shoot ‘Em Up," but for the most part both of us caught Britney Spears on
the MTV Video Music Awards so, much like everyone else broadcasting today, we
give our take. Stu totally recognizes Ms. Spears’ mom-ass, and I almost feel
sorry for her. Sometimes I can be sympathetic, but I will say that the entire
VMA package was a complete train wreck. Even so, it’s a good thing the
VMA’s were on because I really didn’t want to talk about watching the Chicago
Bears nor the Chicago Cubs respective losses, which I also viewed over the
weekend.

Thanks for listening.
