It was weird talking to Stu Gotz for this episode of the "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast because I had a great Father’s Day, and I’m not even a dad unless you consider Milo, our dog, while Stu, who is a dad, with human children, had a Dad’s Day that left a lot to be desired. I got some bubble tea (twice), saw "The Proposal" with my BFF," and bought the new iPhone 3GS, while Stu, well, he pretty much got some cards. Kinda a bummer for him, but a great weekend for me, and I brag to him all about it! Yup, along with some new toys and enjoying some quality time with my BFF on Sunday, I got to meet one of our biggest podcast fans at the 50th Anniversary party of my future in-laws, as well as see a tornado of moths. Stu, well, on opposite spectrum, he tore down a gazebo, set up a kiddie pool, saw a blah movie, and had his TV recordings erased before he could see them. Maybe next year the kids will make him breakfast, Mama Gotz will rub his feet, and he’ll be at a Cubs game, or something cool like that. At least he has "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" opening up this week to keep him happy.

All of that and more in this podcast episode! Thanks for listening!

I have to say that when Stu Gotz opened up this “Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcast saying he needed a back-brace, a corset, and a Taiwanese basket, I was a little worried that somehow I might be involved in something kinky, instead we find out that Stu is getting old and he thinks he might even be too old for a drinking party across the pond thanks to the students of Cambridge University and the makers of jelly.  But our weekends had nothing to do with drinking and jelly, nope, we discuss some “The Hangover,” even if it has been out in the theaters over a week.  And, what the heck, to stay current, I tell Stu if “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3” is any good and give my recommendation if you should spend the extra couple of bucks to see the 3-D version of “Up.”  The Sarah Palin v David Letterman boxing match brought some discussion of flight attendants, with Stu letting me in on a secret a week too late, and why not, let’s talk some TV, where I guess I got it wrong after watching this week’s episodes of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here,” that it won’t be Lou Diamond Phillips getting it on with Patti Blagojovich after the series, as I state during the podcast, but from the looks of things, here comes John Salley for the steal.  Poor Rob!

All of that and more in this podcast episode! Thanks for listening!

And a Dude note:  Yea, yea, I know this podcast is a tad late in getting posted, it being Thursday when I’m posting it and all, but I do have a good reason and might announce it during next week’s podcast.  Then again I might not, and the way Stu has been acting lately, I might be looking for a new podcast partner.  Any takers?

Neither Stu Gotz nor myself have Swine Flu, at least not yet, so why not podcast during our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" about it. Yup, we’re not Doctors, and we don’t play them on TV, but we sure seem to know a lot about this Pig Virus hitting Mexico and also its effect on the financial markets. But as the flu was hitting people over the weekend, I went to another Confirmation and think maybe I should start reviewing religious events, while Stu got a chuckle at the T-Ball Newbie parents and their not understanding the concept that baseball jerseys are meant to get dirty. The weather also helped keep the both of us inside where I saw "Role Models" again (and highly recommend it), while Stu caught "Leatherheads" and agrees with me on how good it might be. Stu found a restaurant called The Brickhouse that I won’t be taking my BFF to visit, my BFF showed me she can cook some kick-ass ribs, and both Stu and I are fascinated with Jesse James on Celebrity Apprentice, but for different reasons. See, we don’t always think alike!

Thanks for listening!

Another Weekend Wrap-Up! podcast, so it must be a Monday, or, well, it’s at least Monday, and traffic aside, I finally meet up with Stu Gotz to talk about many a thing. There is the thing like The Gotz Family at The Chicago Cubs’ game where Stu witnessed a seagull invasion while me, I got to see the Zac Efron film, "17 Again," where I saw glimpses of Matthew Perry being a great actor. Stu was able to catch "Slumdog Millionaire" via his Netflix queue, so we have a Netflix movie to chat about, and my Blu-ray player is finally hooked up with the inaugural movie not being "The Dark Knight," not being "Ironman," but "The Secret Life of Bees." Stu, of course, makes fun of me for this, but at least I got to see Donald Trump bust on Jesse James during "Celebrity Apprentice" over the weekend. Hey, we also talk about pretty girls, namely discussing the "Miss U.S.A." pageant a tad.

Thanks for listening!

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.

Thanks for listening!
