Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! The Chicago Olympics, Monday TV Viewing, Surrogates, Jim Cantore Calls Stu, and More!

By:

The Dude on the Right
Maybe it’s just a guy thing, but as I started our “Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcast Stu Gotz caught on immediately to the saying “Here I sit, broken hearted…” But farts and pooping did not last long in our talking as naked women and Stu Gotz getting a call from Jim Cantore with The Weather Channel immediately took precedence. Then with President Obama heading to Copenhagen to boost Chicago’s Olympic big, and the return of the Chia Obama, why not hit some politics as well, so we do.

Now the both of us know that politics can be controversial, and since our weekends try to stay fun Stu tells me about the martial arts talents of the Little Gotz’s, we both saw “Surrogates,” (okay, so much for fun during our weekend), and the new TV season has us both stymied as to A) Recording all of the shows we want to, and B) watching them, especially since Stu wants me to watch some show on cable called “Pawn Shop.” We talk a tad about the Chicago Bears, Stu wonders if Saturday Night Live will get fined by the FCC for dropping the F-Bomb, and Stu made the discovery of the century – He found Franken Berry, Boo Berry, and Count Chocula at his local target, and brought in the boxes to prove it.

We cover a lot of topics in eighteen minutes, and hope you enjoy some of them.

Happy listening!

Goodbye Summer, Lots of TV Talk, Melting Cars, and A-Holes.

Stu Gotz and The Dude on the Right get together for their last "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast of summer, and right off the bat Stu needs The Dude’s help as to what he can call a Chicago Cubs’ player without getting sued. The Dude isn’t a lawyer, so he uses Penn & Teller logic, but the podcast quickly shifts to movie watching as Stu gives his feedback if "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" is good for the kids. The boys do a lot of talking about TV, what with the Emmy Awards being the night before, The Dude liking "Community" and "Survivor: Samoa," and they both have TiVo setting to do with the next couple of weeks kicking things into high gear. The Dude watched "Smart People" with his BFF, Stu went to a Demolition Derby again and saw a car melt, and they both wonder if the side effects of Latisse, a drug that gives you longer, fuller, and darker eyelashes is worth it. Luckily for them, neither of them need it.

Stu Gotz wonders if you can get sued for calling someone an asshole, so as we begin our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast I let him know the rules as I know them, thanks to Penn & Teller. Luckily Stu calms down (he’s a little peeved at the Chicago Cubs) so he can let me know if the Gotz boys, and Mama Gotz, liked "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs," and with the Emmy Awards being last night, we give our Emmy Award run-down, or, well, we talk about them a bit. Me, I’m a little sad to see summer go, what with Autumnal Equinox happening tomorrow (maybe I should try to stand an egg on its end), and a little sad I don’t remember all of the movies I have seen because I had "Smart People" in my Netflix queue for me and my BFF to watch, and then I was surprised to find I had seen it already.

But new TV is upon us so I tell Stu if "Community" is any good, he can’t help but get in a word about a cable show, I’m looking forward to "Survivor: Samoa" and the dumb blondes, we both have TiVo setting to do, and finally, Stu is wondering if the potential side effects for Latisse, a drug that can give you longer, fuller eyelashes, is worth it because unlike the song lyric "Don’t it make my brown eyes blue," there is a possibility of making your blue eyes brown.

Happy listening!

Jay Leno, U2, Football, Extract, Mini Porterhouse Steaks, and Pee.

Who knew there were tiny porterhouse steaks, but during this podcast episode of Stu & The Dude’s "Weekend Wrap-Up!," The Dude on the Right tells Stu Gotz all about it. They both deconstruct the new Jay Leno show, Stu saw "Extract," The Dude isn’t off to a good start this football season with losses by the Bears and Buckeyes, Stu has grill issues, The Dude is cheering on The Fab Five on America’s Got Talent (though he thinks The Texas Tenors will win), and the fall TV season has both of them scrambling for TiVo options. Their life’s are so simple, yet so complex.

For reasons beyond the comprehension of human thought, Stu Gotz and I couldn’t get together yesterday for our normal "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, but that’s okay because it gives us a chance to talk a bit about Jay Leno’s new show, how both myself and my BFF didn’t find it funny, and Stu has his wish what Kanye West would have really said. But our Monday wrap-up aside, my weekend was about football (nice Chicago Bears and Ohio State Buckeye’s losses) and computer programming, while Stu was able to get away with Mama Gotz to see "Extract," and Stu lets us all know if it’s any good.

Stu is finishing up his summer TV viewing of cable shows, I’m cheering on The Fab Five, kind of hoping they win America’s Got Talent (although I wouldn’t be surprised if The Texas Tenors win), and with a Matt Damon movie hitting the big screen in "The Informant" next week, I might be telling Stu of my escapades to the movie theater…

And hopefully a Bears win over the Steelers.

Happy listening!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! A Lot of Trees, Crashing Cars, Inglourious Basterds, The Fab 5, and Don’t Forget the Boobs

Who knew you have to now account for installed body parts, or at least breast implants, so The Dude on the Right and Stu Gotz talk about it during this podcast episode of their "Weekend Wrap-Up!" Along with boobs, the boys both are able to talk about "Inglourious Basterds" because they both caught the movie, only The Dude is able to talk about "Monk" this weekend, Stu is getting his boys hooked on demolition derby’s and the Boy Scouts, while The Dude saw a lot of trees, and appropriately, went to the new Apple store in Naperville. Summer is winding down, The Dude is cheering on The Fab 5 on "America’s Got Talent," and the boys keep things going, at least for another weekend.

Something I always wanted to do, but it just seemed sort of weird to do it when I was single and alone, was go to the Morton Arboretum in the Chicago Suburbs, but now that I have My BFF, a perfect weather Sunday brought about a lovely afternoon looking at trees, and I tell Stu all about it during this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast episode. While I was enjoying nature this weekend, and a visit to the new Apple Store in Naperville, IL., Stu and the little Gotz’s were enjoying destruction, as in car destruction at the Route 66 Raceway for a demolition derby. We both saw "Inglorious Basterds" and give our verbal reviews, I actually watched "Monk," but did Stu?, and we discuss that if you’re going to plan on being a nutjob murderer, don’t forget to add "See if girlfriend has breast implants and then remove them after killing her," because whoever killed Jasmine Fiore, well, Ryan Jenkins found himself dead, and Fiore was ID’d via her boobs.

Another nice weekend, Stu got to see The Mystery Dude, and neither of us are that excited about the movies opening next weekend, but I am looking forward to cheering on The Fab 5 on "America’s Got Talent" the next time they are on. We talk about so much in so little time!

Happy listening!

The Goods, Monk, Harry Potter, and a Light Fixture.

Stu Gotz wonders why there aren’t any science explanations at the "Harry Potter" exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, but during this podcast episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!", the boys at least have something in common – their laughing during "The Goods," a movie most nobody went to see. The Dude tells Stu about "The Rocker" and "The Soloist," Stu can’t figure out when "Monk" ends on TV, and Stu is sort of amazed that The Dude didn’t burn the Dude-Pad down while doing some home improvements. All of that and more for your listening pleasure.

I don’t know how it happened, but both Stu Gotz and I saw "The Goods" over the weekend, and even though, during our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, we discuss our differing opinions, we both agreed that the movie made us laugh. Sure, most people went to see "District 9," but since we aren’t most people, why not let you know if you should see a movie you might not have planned on spending your bucks on – that’s our gift to you. And speaking of movies, I also got to see "The Rocker" while watching my local cable TV, saw "The Soloist" while watching my Blu-ray, while Stu was confused as to exactly when the last episode of Monk is.

On other notes, Stu went to the Museum of Science and Industry here in Chicago and caught the Harry Potter exhibit (I’m still trying to figure how he thought the "science" of Harry Potter would have been explained), while my Saturday of a lot of little projects turned into replacing a light fixture over the stairs, but that’s okay because it was a project that needed to be done.

Next weekend Stu and I might sneak off and play hooky to see "Inglorious Basterds," and not "Inglorious Bastards" as you might spell it.

Happy listening!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Lots of Traffic, New Spectacles, No Funny, and a Lazy Sunday.

By:

The Dude on the Right

Sure, in Chicago they say there are only two seasons, winter and construction, and usually it is construction season that causes all of the traffic delays, but Stu Gotz tells me during our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast that there is another form of traffic, related solely to the reemergence of football season, and he was just lucky he was heading out of Bourbonnais, Illinois, when training camp for the Chicago Bears started. He also had some traffic woes when he was going to pick up Mama Gotz, but luckily he had some gorgeous weather for a diving excursion. Me, I was chastised by my local optometrist who wondered how I was getting contacts for all of these years without a prescription, and I told him I didn’t realize it was that long since I got my eyes examined because 1-800-CONTACTS would just send me an e-mail asking if I needed a refill, I told them yes, and low and behold – more contacts. I also told Stu about a nice time that was had by all at the Grand Opening my BFF held, how Sunday was lazy without any movie watching, although thanks to "The Soup" on E! I found out my brother was in Key West and got to hang with Al Roker on the Today Show. That’s him, sitting behind Al. Sort of wish I had known and set my TiVo. Oh well.

Since neither Stu nor I saw "Funny People" last weekend, maybe next week we’ll both try to catch "G.I. Joe." Stu, though, did see "G-Force," and lets you know during the podcast if it’s good for kids, and maybe adults as well.
