Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! The Hangover, Terminator, Idle Hands, and Bonne Terre Mines

By:

The Dude on the Right

I’m back from Houston-town so Stu Gotz and I can get back into "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcasting mode, and Stu starts out bummed that his favorite Irish Pub, well, as Irish as an American Irish Pub can be, is closed, that pub being Galway Tribes in Frankfort, IL. But as we get to our weekend talk, Stu tells of his travels to Bonne Terre, MO, to go scuba diving in some abandoned lead mines. He had a good time and posted a YouTube video, and tells the tale of the donkeys that go blind. His diving aside, we get into some movie talk with Stu revisiting "Idle Hands" and a "naked" Jessica Alba via a body double, while I let Stu know that a couple of 5 star movies for him to see are "Up" for the kids and "The Hangover" for the adults. I do my best not to give any spoilers for "The Hangover," and let Stu know how the weekend box office went with a bomb in the making of "Land of the Lost," complete with our analysis.

We continue with a little bit of TV talk and my getting sucked into "I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here," and I also set up some topics for next week because I forgot to tell Stu about my being Pretty Woman and how I should have been in San Francisco for the announcement of the new iPhone. Oh well, I suppose it will wait.

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

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Pork-Fest Weekend, Night at the Museum, Grilling, and Gay, Deaf Bikers.

By:

The Dude on the Right

Most people were celebrating Memorial Day over the weekend, but not me and my BFF – nope, it was Pork-Fest Weekend, and I tell Stu all about it during our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. Now before you have your mind in the gutter, much like Stu, we’re talking about pork products, ranging from brats to ribs tickling our taste buds, which leads to Stu Gotz lamenting some grilling woes thanks to a bird. Stu, did, over the weekend, get to see "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian," and lets me know all about it and if I should take the BFF to see it, while I tell Stu about my observation of members of a gay, deaf, biker gang. Okay, they might not have been members of a biker gang, but they did come off as gay, were definitely hard of hearing, and were taking in the sites of Millennium Park in Chicago over the weekend.

And with it being an extended weekend, I hip everyone to helpful hint to stop your house from burning down, Stu caught up on some TV viewing, and both of us are looking forward to seeing "Up" next weekend.

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

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! A Birthday Weekend Part II, The House of Mouse, Star Trek, and Angels & Demons

By:

The Dude on the Right

Gosh, I’m really hating my Apple MacBook, or maybe I should be blaming Garage Band, or maybe it’s just my own screwing up, but there are some drop-outs during this episode of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcast, so I apologize.  This episode, though, with me celebrating my BFF’s birthday, most of it is about me, and Stu is getting sick of our lovey-dovey relationship (what is wrong with two people having the same ringtone?).  Stu and I also do some movie talk, with him finally catching up with “Star Trek,” and I give my take on “Angels & Demons.”  Stu wonders what happened with the Jennifer Aniston/Steve Zahn flick, “Management,” that neither of us saw, and with TV wrapping up, it’s also time to enjoy nature, although I think Stu had his fill of nature with Mom Nature causing travel woes for him back from Mickey’s House, while the BFF and I planted some flowers.  Lastly, but not leastly, I tell Stu that if he likes Soft-Shell Crabs, or Crab Cakes, he should be getting his butt over to SugarToad because they have the best crab dishes (and a kick-ass steak) that I’ve ever tasted.

Next week we might talk about “Terminator: Salvation,” or the “Night at the Museum” sequel, or maybe both.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! A Birthday, Camping, Cubs, and Apprenticing.

By:

The Dude on the Right

As "Celebrity Apprentice" is winding down, and since both Stu Gotz and I are big fans, during this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" Podcast we give our analysis of the upcoming finale with Joan Rivers and Annie the Poker Dudette, and how we both sort of wish it were Jesse James instead of Ms. Rivers. We really don’t care that much about Donald Trump, so rather than him we mostly talk about our weekends, as we are really supposed to do.

Stu, well, he took the Gotz family to Jellystone Campground in Somewhere, IL, and enjoyed the time going to see Yogi Bear. Somehow he also had Mama Gotz watching "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay." Me, it was my birthday weekend, and along with a Chicago Cubs game on Saturday, my Birthday day on Sunday was spent with some quality time with my BFF, a new remote control (she knows me so well), and I even share some awesome chocolate cake, made by my BFF, with The Gotz family.

Neither of us saw the "Wolverine" movie, I’m hoping to see "Star Trek" next weekend, and Stu Gotz will be hanging with Mickey Mouse for a spell next week so we’ll see when we talk again!

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! No Swine Flu, Dirty Uniforms, Movies, a Brickhouse, and Jesse James.

By:

The Dude on the Right

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!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Seeing the Chicago Cubs, Seeing 17 Again, Seeing Slumdog Millionaire, and Seeing More!

By:

The Dude on the Right

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.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Sandusky, OH., Naperville, IL., Observe and Report, and More!

By:

The Dude on the Right

Well, our Weekend Wrap-Up! podcast is a day late because Stu Gotz got stuck in Sandusky, OH, thanks to his "tenement on wheels," also known as The Gotz RV, taking a crapper on The Ohio Turnpike. With Cedar Point still being closed for the season, lucky for him there were a batch of hotels with indoor water parks attached, and The Gotz Family spent Easter at Castaway Bay where they ended up making the best of things. So, for Stu, pretty much his weekend was all about traveling the highways and byways of our great land. Me, on the other hand, spent some quality time on Saturday afternoon with my BFF, hanging in downtown Naperville, IL, and then the both of us catching "Observe and Report." We also did some church-going on Easter Sunday, I’m still the "Crack-the-Egg" champ, and I tell Stu about my Facebook addiction, namely Pirates, and now Hatchlings and Mafia Wars. I’m also addicted to Mafia Wars on my iPhone, so feel free to join my iPhone Mafia crew (My player ID is: 5203 1552 22).

Hopefully our vehicles will be in driving order next week so our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" will be on time, and maybe I’ll check if The W.G.N. is free this Thursday for a podcast, although he might be partying it up on Spring Break. We’ll see!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Being Tired, Adventureland Talk, and The Dude Can’t Mix Crap.

By:

The Dude on the Right

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.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! (Sort Of): Hangin’ With no Drug Lords, Kidney Stones, Idol Talk, and Underwear in a Bag

By:

The Dude on the Right

With my being in Mexico and not finding any drug lords, there wasn’t time for a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast on Monday, so instead we get a Thursday podcast with Stu Gotz. As most of my time for the past week has been being spent on vacation, I give Stu my initial take on the resort my BFF and I stayed at, Dreams Villamagna, where we didn’t hear any gunfire but did find that it took too long to get food and that typos can be funny. And me, not being the seasoned traveler, get confirmation that you should take a bag to put your dirty underwear, as my BFF instructed me. I found that I hated the "reserving your lounge chair with a towel" status quo, and thankfully I didn’t get diarrhea, but damn, did I fart a lot!

Stu, meanwhile, had his own issues while I was off gallivanting the Mexican countryside, or at least laying on a beach, namely that he got some internal distress with self-diagnosed kidney stones, and discovered a homeopathic remedy of lemon juice and olive oil does sort of work, but with some consequences.

Lastly, without seeing any movies in the theater, I give Stu my take on "Rachael Getting Married" with Anne Hathaway, while we both do some discussing of "American Idol" and the booting of Megan Joy.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Got Junk, The BSG Finale, March Madness, and F.F.W.D.-P.P.O. Syndrome.

By:

The Dude on the Right

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
