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.

Thanks for listening!

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

Sure, this Stu & The Dude “Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcast is a day late, but since yesterday was Casimir Pulaski Day, both Stu and I were celebrating our people.  We tried to justify not getting any work done today, it being Square Root Day and all, but figured we should at least try to podcast, especially since Stu is sort of lonely with Mama Gotz on the east coast.

First off, I’d like to give a hugemoungous "Shout-Out" to my Sis who follows the weight-loss plan I profess, but in my advice terms, she does as I say, not as I do. Next up for me, doing what I say, not what I do, and doing what my sister does, thus becoming svelte. Good job, Sis!

Anywho, with Mama Gotz gone, Stu has been torn about catching up on his TV viewing, with his shows like Battlestar Gallactica and Burn Notice, while Mama was away, but he finally, over the weekend, said “Screw it!” and started his catching up.  Me, I didn’t see any movies in the theaters (although this upcoming weekend has “Watchmen” opening, which I’m planning on seeing solo – with a review next Saturday), although I did catch the DVD of “Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” “Henry Poole is Here,” and in Owen Wilson marathon fashion, sort of, I also caught the end of “Old School.”  TV side, I regale Stu with my re-enactment of “The Bachelor” finale (and realizing that Jerry Taft, Meteorologist Extraordinaire in Chicago, is very witty thanks to Twitter), with Jason picking Melissa and Molly, and even though new iMacs are out, I explain to Stu that other things are taking precedent over a new computer right now, that is until I win the Mega Millions jackpot tonight!

All of that, and more! Thanks for listening!

Since it’s the day after The Academy Awards, Stu Gotz and I get together for our podcast and have Oscar talk for our “Weekend Wrap-Up!” Well, we don’t have Oscar talk right away, first I get pummeled by Stu, and Mama Gotz from afar, for being domestic by being “Frank the Tank,” even though we incorrectly reference the Will Ferrell character from "Old School" as "Hank the Tank," (yea, go ahead and pummle the both of us for screwing that up, and yes, I am ashamed at myself) with my trip to Lowe’s and Bed, Bath & Beyond with the BFF over the weekend. And then comes our Oscar talk.

We both have our thoughts about The Academy Award broadcast, thought there were some decent moments, both wonder why there were only three nominees for best song, and I thought the making fun of Joaquin Phoenix was a little much, although very funny.  And as movie reviewers, we found it totally odd that neither of us have seen “Slumdog Millionaire” yet, even though my BFF has, and both think Goldie Hawn should just accept her age and strive to be the hot, older lady.

Stu did see some movies, though, liking, as I did, “Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay,” liking “He’s Just Not That Into You” more than me, and he was bummed he missed Friday night at the “Our World Underwater” SCUBA Expo with his Bonica friend.

Me, sadly with the domestic shopping, there wasn’t any time for new movies over the weekend, though I did catch “Hitch” (I need to really thank Will Smith one day for that movie) on TV Saturday night, and I did attend a Confirmation ceremony on Friday evening which made me wonder about proper "Confirmation" attire.

And finally, our podcast also includes another installment of “I Read Playboy for The Articles” segment. It’s about Governor Sarah Palin and a turkey.

Thanks for listening!

Stu Gotz is back from vacation so I’ve got a partner again for our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, and what better way to start than with a discussion about Valentine’s Day, my meal fit for a King, some differences in what might have been in a box, and that people should be out buying mattresses. But enough about love and mattresses, we also discuss a ton of movies with Stu seeing "The Love Guru," "Semi-Pro," "You Don’t Mess With the Zohan," and "Hotel for Dogs," while I saw "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," and "High School Musical 3: Senior Year." And in some blast-from-the-past viewing, Stu caught "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," the movie not the TV series, and was able to pick out a young Ben Affleck as "Basketball Player #10." Finally, I do my best not to ruin two very funny Saturday Night Live skits from over the weekend, one about the "Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Photo Shop" and the other having Alec Baldwin playing Wii.

Who knows what next weekend will bring, but you can be sure to find about it next week during a new episode!

Thanks for listening!

Stu Gotz is back, and then Stu Gotz will be gone, and then Stu Gotz will be back, and then, well, since it’s Groundhog Day, and Stu Gotz is back, or is he gone, well, I decided that the opening of our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast needed to honor the tradition of the movie "Groundhog Day." But this podcast isn’t all about repeating ourselves for Groundhog Day, nope, it was also the ending of Super Bowl weekend, and both Stu (crappy mic for this podcast and all) and I, and my BFF, and the little Gotz’s watched it, with my viewing being a lot more exciting than Stu’s thanks to a safety, a touchdown, and cheering on two pickets to Tittsburgh, I mean, the Pittsburgh Steelers, even over the phone with my BFF. Stu wanted to analyze the Super Bowl commercials (he liked the Teleflora one), even though I didn’t pay that much attention to the commercials, but at least I did get my website updated to the year 2009. We talk about TV stuff and I sort of ruin "Chuck" for Stu. I’m such a dick!

Along with the Super Bowl and T.V., Stu is having trouble with Google thinking he is German, I’m happy Manuary is over, and Stu, during his last visit to Disney World, was disappointed that Disney World is getting dirty, maybe thanks to some job cuts, and also parents not beating their kids for spitting out gum. We also talk some movie, with "He’s Just Not That Into You" opening this week, and our feature of "I read Playboy for the articles" is back, since, well, I got my new issue of Playboy. And, oh yea, read Stu’s video review of "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Chipettes."

Thanks for listening!

Manuary is starting to change me, especially as I tell Stu Gotz about my weekend during this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" Podcast. I let Stu know about my exercising, a trip to Nordstom’s, going to the movies to see "Bride Wars," and watching a couple of DVD’s, "Funny Face" and "Breakfast at Tiffany’s," all with my BFF. I have to say I was a bit surprised at Stu suggesting he just needed to drag me to Hooters and not to some other place with hooters, but maybe it was because I let him know that I found Audrey Hepburn as a very pretty dudette so there might still be hope for me this Manuary, especially if I stop shaving. The exercising topic reminded Stu of a 5K that Mama Gotz is looking to run/trot/walk in, as well as some old clothes she is trying to wear, and he didn’t head to the movies but gives his reason why he can’t recommend "Eagle Eye," although he does think little kids, both boys and girls, will like "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Chipettes."

With the Golden Globe Awards yesterday, we also talk about those, with Stu enjoying Tina Fey’s win, although not her dress, and Stu does his best to try to convince me to watch TV shows on cable, although with Battlestar Galactica returning this Friday, there will be one cable show I’ll be watching.

No matter what TV I’ll be watching, thanks for listening!
