Stu’s Gone, A Missed Opportunity, iPhone Ringtones, and Live Earth.

By:

The Dude on the Right
So I’m flying solo for

this podcast which normally would be a "Stu & The Dude Weekend Wrap-Up!",
but Stu is traveling the nation so for this one, well, it’s just me. The
odd thing was that even though I didn’t think I had much to talk about, fifteen
minutes flies by as I let you know I might have missed my chance for stardom,
namely by not becoming a "Survivor" contestant. It’s also been over a week
since I’ve had my iPhone, and I love it, do not regret my buying decision
because I knew what I was getting when I got it, but am patiently waiting for
the ever-rumored software/firmware update to enhance my ringtone assignments.
For now all of my cool friends simply sound like an old phone ringing (I
couldn’t go the distance and make them sound like ducks), but one day, again, I
hope, when Harry Caray starts spouting "It could be, it is!", well, I’ll know
The Dude on the Left is calling me.

And since I couldn’t stop talking for this
podcast, watching "Live Earth" got me reminiscing about probably the best Stu
Gotz line in a review, ever, located in his

Melissa Etheridge review. Sadly her performance on "Live Earth"
let me down.

That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Part 1 is Entertainment and Part 2 is Stu and his Stories.

By:

The Dude on the Right
Sure, sometimes Stu Gotz and I have a lot to talk about, but Stu had a weekend
that was filled with just too many stories, and we could have talked for hours,
but to simplify things for you, well, this week’s "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap
Up!" has been split in two.

Podcast Part 1 deals with mostly things entertainment like us planning on
seeing "Transformers," (They’re more than meets the eye you know!), my obsession
and getting an iPhone (those Apple folks sure have their act together), I
skipped

"Ratatouille" after both Stu and Richard Roeper’s reviews (Do kids
comprehend cooking?), I saw

"Live Free or Die Hard," and we talk TV about "Entourage" and
"Burn
Notice." I also saw a lady try to cram a patio set into her
convertible Jaguar.

But Stu’s weekend wasn’t a lot about entertainment so we
put that into

Podcast Part 2, and on his plate were things like getting an RV (Never give
a woman, especially Mama Gotz, a challenge), where not to have pictures of your
old girlfriend when you get a new woman (Like his buddy who had them in his "My
Photos" folder), Baptism etiquette,is Mama Gotz a heathen, and Stu just can’t
let go of the photos his buddy has lost.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Kids are Turning Japanese, Journey Scores a Top 5 Single on Sirius, Wii Workouts, and Movie Talk.

By:

The Dude on the Right
This week’s weather is looking hot, but the weekend was cool, just like Stu Gotz
and I, so cool in fact we are back with all of the cool stuff we did this
weekend in this episode of

"Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up" podcast. I hip Stu to the
resurgence of Journey, namely with "Don’t Stop Believing" finding itself at
#5 on the Sirius Hits 1
Weekend Countdown. Stu also has what will hopefully be our last "Soprano"
story ever. Stu was wondering about his fathering abilities as one of the CD’s
his kids love to listen to is a compilation of songs, with one of their
favorites being "The Monster Mash." The thing is that the CD also contains
"Turning Japanese" by
The Vapors,
and "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas, and as little boys will be little boys,
well, Stu wonders about the political incorrectness of his boys when they sing.
I think Stu might at well just get it over with and teach his kids the f-bomb
and s-bomb, but then again I don’t have kids.

With the weekend also comes
movies, and I give Stu my rundown of

"Evan Almighty," and

"1408," and being a little sad that

"Live Free or Die Hard" which opens Wednesday will be rated PG-13.

Stu also has been getting some

exercise lately playing his Nintendo Wii, although sadly he keeps losing at
boxing to his 4 1/2 year old son. Little Stu obviously doesn’t care about
Big Stu’s rope-a-dope or
fancy footwork. I’m guessing Little Stu is just using the punch-a-dope
boxing style, which for the Wii means, well, you’ll just have to listen.

That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up: Stu’s Early “Ratatouille” Review, More Movie Talk, and a Skin Flute.

By:

The Dude on the Right
A weekend full of movies brings Stu Gotz and me together for our

weekend wrap-up podcast. Stu Gotz gives his early opinion on the latest
Disney/Pixar flick, "Ratatouille," that had a sneak-peak screening over
the weekend. He also saw

"Ocean’s Thirteen," and he liked it. Me, I tell Stu what I thought about

"Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" and that yes, he will probably
like

"Nancy Drew." We also do some reminiscing of movies in college, and
discuss sneaking beer into a movie theater in anticipation of the

"Transformers" movie opening soon. There’s all that, Stu and I
realizing we need to get back on the diet and exercise wagon, and the podcast
starts out with some skin flute talk as heard on a TV station from Cleveland, O
Hi O.

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!: Soprano Analysis, Stu Gets Exercise, The Dude’s Cable Woes, and Big & Rich do AC/DC.

By:

The Dude on the Right
Nothing like the most talked about "Sopranos" episode ever to bring Stu Gotz and
I together to talk about our weekend during

this podcast. Of course we do our analysis of the series finale of
"The Sopranos," because, well, who hasn’t, and it’s complete with the changing
of our opening theme music. Stu, also, was quite the athlete this weekend,
doing some bowling, tennis, golf, baseball, and boxing all in the span of a
couple of days. You know what that means? Yup, he bought a Nintendo
Wii, but it’s the way he bought it that is the story. At least he hasn’t
thrown the remote, yet, like my sister did.

We also discuss my seeing

"Ocean’s Thirteen," Mama Gotz’s not really seeing "Surf’s Up," my life
without TV for a couple of days, and I introduce Stu to a new version of AC/DC’s
"You Shook Me All Night Long," covered by Big & Rich. Stu can’t wait to
buy it, but me, not so much.

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!: Importing Cicadas, “Knocked Up,” Baseball, and Chicken Legs.

By:

The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz’s kids got in the way of his seeing "Knocked
Up" and "The Sopranos," but at least his family may be involved in the
migration of the 17-Year cicadas to his neighborhood. He won’t know if their
science experiment worked until, well, 17 years from now, but the family antics
did lead to some fun discussions for this week’s

"Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast.

So what do we talk about?
Well, along with transplanting cicadas (and Mama Gotz’s belief in siamese
cicadas), Stu finally got to see "Spider-Man 3," and also questions some
parenting skills involved with eating chicken legs. I do my best not to ruin the
latest episode of "The Sopranos" for him, nor ruin "Knocked Up" as well
(although I do mention about Chicago radio dude Jonathon Brandmeier seeing the
movie where someone vomited during one scene). I also give my theory on
why Chicago Cubs’ manager, Lou Piniella, is getting suspended for "bumping" into
the umpire, and it’s mostly about Lou’s belly. The iPhone is also coming, June
29^th, and our buddy Wimp gave us some simple advice, namely "Don’t
drop it."

We could talk for hours, but still limit it to around 20 minutes, so thanks
for listening, your comments, and just being cool for visiting our website.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Waitresses, Pirates, Walking, Baseball, Cornholing and Summer TV.

By:

The Dude on the Right
Memorial Day got in the way of our normal Monday podcast, but low and behold Stu
and I hooked up today to

chat about our weekend. Stu, he saw a baseball game, live and in
person, while I watched it on TV. We both saw

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End" and I explain why little kids
shouldn’t see it, and I saw

"Waitress" though Stu didn’t. Stu is getting flustered, already, with
the summer TV season, but I’m happy it’s sucking. Stu was saddened at the
death of Charles Nelson Reilly, while I worry about my townhouse development
burning down and should I be sad about missing the cornholing movement gripping
my townhouse community. We both are still excited about the "Transformers"
movie opening up July 4th, and Stu and Mama Gotz lost count on why Danny Ocean
now has 13.

So much to talk about, so little time. It’s always the same.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! “Shrek” Talk, Stu Missed “The Simpsons,” and Computer Woes.

By:

The Dude on the Right
Stu was back in town, and all we really had in common for our weekend was seeing
a movie, but in any case

"Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" is back, although a day late thanks to
some continuing computer issues.

We did both see a movie, and that movie, of
course, had to be

"Shrek the Third," especially since Stu has kids, and what else would I go
see? We recollect our Shrek memories and rehash the film and Stu Gotz
laments about missing the 400th "Simpsons" episode. Me, I’ve got computer
woes which are making my uploading new content a pain in the ass, while Stu had
travels that he really wanted to get out of. We know who wears the pants
in the Gotz household! "Sopranos" talk is curtailed because Stu hasn’t
seen the latest episode, although I did spoil one line from the episode: "Get a
mop."

Thanks for listening, and hopefully my computer woes will be fixed soon
so I can get new things posted in a timely manner.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Second Life, Spider-Man 3, Yay for a Midas, and Marketing to Kids.

By:

The Dude on the Right
You would think that after all of our weekend wrap-ups Stu and I wouldn’t have
so much trouble not talking over the intro music. Not so: We are
lately having issues getting our timing down, but since Stu was whistling, and I
couldn’t, it’s another episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!"

Stu’s
weekend was spent mostly counter-marketing the movie folks convincing his son
that Spider-Man was great, and that to get great Spidey things they needed to
visit the Burger King, which sadly for Stu, both of the King’s store near him
don’t seem to be the cleanliest of locations. Me, on the other hand, spent
my weekend trying to get a
Second
Life even though I’m not so sure about my first life, not getting screwed
over when I went to get my brakes checked (thanks to the Midas at the Fox Valley
Mall in Aurora, IL.), and actually seeing

"Spider-Man 3," which prompted Stu to question the hot-ness of Kirsten Dunst.

Want to know if I find Kirsten hot or not, what both Stu and I think might be
Tony Soprano’s fate, and if Yau Man can make it to the end of "Survivor: Fiji?"

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Lame Movies, A Lame Weekend, and a Blower at a Ballgame.

By:

The Dude on the Right
Weekends are normally a time of excitement, a time of getting things done around
the house, of enjoying loved ones because you don’t have the daily grind of the
weekday. Thank God Stu had an exciting story to tell because otherwise
this might have been the most boring episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend
Wrap-Up!" ever. My weekend was basically spent working on the
Entertainment Ave! redesign, making good headway in The Movie Theater section
(even though I didn’t see any movies), and enjoying about two hours of the
fantastic weather we had in Chicago. I also had an issue with some meat,
so Stu recommended I visit Beecher Illinois and its meat shop.

Stu, on the
other hand, went to see a ballgame, where he and Mama Gotz witnessed a blower at
a ballgame.

We did talk a bit about the movie "Idiocracy,"
about "The Sopranos," about "Heroes," and Stu saw "Idol Rewind," witnessing the
brilliance that would be Kelly Clarkson while wondering what happened with the
talent on this season’s "American Idol."

Want to know what exactly "a blower
at a ballgame" is. Well,
