What’s New? A Podcast of: The Dude on the Right & The BFF: Tatiana is Back, The Suburbs, Home Improvement, and a Toaster.

The Dude on the Right and The W.G.N. couldn’t align their schedules to podcast today, so The Dude enlists the help of the most special of special guest podcasters, his BFF! The Dude is a little off his game because, well, his BFF gives him butterflies, but he powers through and discusses, with her, things like "American Idol," "Dancing With the Stars," and "The Real Housewives of New York City" which then diverts the podcast into talk of how the suburbs are different from city life (Why are the stop lights so long in the suburbs, anyway?).

Since they have family things coming up, The BFF reminds The Dude of some upcoming events, and since they have home improvement going on at The Dude-Pad, they also talk some painting tips and toaster alignment. Somehow The Dude thinks The BFF’s toaster alignment will win.

Another Thursday, another no-show for The W.G.N., but that’s okay, because for this podcast I have the most special of special guest podcasters – My BFF! Was I nervous having My BFF as the guest podcaster? You bet, so I thought I would break the ice and go instantly to Tatiana’s triumphant(?) return to "American Idol," even if it might be for only one night. As such, we do a little bit of TV talk, and even though she does share some of my TV viewing habits (here comes "Dancing With the Stars,") there are some shows on her radar that I didn’t even know existed.

For her there’s a transition she is making that is a large change in her life, and that is finding life in the suburbs after a stint in the downtown area of The City of Big Shoulders and also The Big Apple. Transition #1 is the volume of traffic, including the number of lanes of traffic and how long stop lights in the suburbs tend to be, but even more of a pain is that of the layout of the suburbs, i.e. street addresses, aren’t nearly as organized as the big city.

And since it’s a podcast with My BFF and since home improvement is a big part of our lives right now, we discuss painting and my "Honey The Dude-List," and she reminds me again of the number of family events I have coming up with her!

And, oh yea, nothing is more exciting than toaster-talk, so we throw some of that in, too.

All of that, and more! Thanks for listening!

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

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Casimir Pulaski & Dupa’s, Square Roots and Pi’s, The Bachelor and BSG, iMacs and Flooring, and More!

The Dude on the Right and Stu Gotz are a day late for this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, but it’s only because they were celebrating with their people, thanks to Monday being Casimir Pulaski Day. They tried to celebrate Square Root Day, but Stu had trouble with his math, so instead, for most of the podcast they talk about Stu catching up on his TV viewing without Mama Gotz being around, The Dude saw "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" and some other movies on TV, but neither of them hit the movie theater. There’s a huge shout-out to The Dude’s sister (well, maybe not huge, but at least a "good job") for her latest accomplishment, The Dude has to re-enact "The Bachelor" finale since Stu didn’t watch it, and a new iMac isn’t as important as other purchases that The Dude on the Right is planning to spend his money on, at least, until, The Dude wins the Mega Millions jackpot.

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!

What’s New? A Podcast of: I Twitter, I Facebook, I Cubs Tickets, I TV, I Tiger Woods Lost, and I Don’t Know Why!

The Dude on the Right is lonely again tonight because he has to podcast alone, but much like many lonely nights, he sometimes finds that he has a lot to talk about. With that, The Dude is fascinated about his Twittering, his Facebooking, and his TVing. He is kind of bummed that Tiger Woods lost today so he doesn’t have a justification for watching golf this weekend, wonders why Bob was crying on "The Biggest Loser," and is perplexed how you can be out of the "Virtual Waiting Room" on tickets.com, to the area you are supposed to be able to actually order tickets, and then be told you can’t order tickets yet. Sadly The Dude didn’t think quick enough that when he realized The W.G.N. couldn’t podcast with him tonight, well, he should have sent out a Tweet to see if anyone out there in Twitterland wanted to podcast with him. Maybe he’ll be on the ball next time.

The W.G.N. had basketballing to watch so I’m flying solo for this podcast and for most of it I wonder why I do a lot of things that I do. For example, I Twitter, and sure, the sort of instant feedback you can get when you Tweet "I went for a walk with the dog" is great, but when a famous TV meteorologist Tweets back on something you Tweeted, it feels even greater for some reason. So, Jerry Taft, thanks! I’m also Facebooking, more now than I thought I would, and I don’t know why I’m now Facebooking but not really MySpaceing anymore. I’m also watching TV, or just proverbially playing catch-up with my TV watching (I need a Slingbox), still liking "The Biggest Loser" and wondering why Bob cried, need to re-commit to my "American Idol" watching, and am a little bummed because with Tiger Woods losing today, well, there won’t be any reason to convince my BFF that I need to watch golf this weekend.

And finally, after getting some Chicago Cubs tickets last week, I’m still confused as to how you can finally get out of the "Virtual Waiting Room" hell and then, when you can actually try to order tickets, you get a message "We’re sorry, we were unable to process your request due to high transaction volumes. Please try again to submit your request again." Isn’t being out of the "Virtual Waiting Room" the reason you are now supposed to be able to order ticket? My bleacher seats should have been so much better!

Thanks for listening! And have a great weekend!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Getting Domestic, Oscar Talk, SCUBA, and Playboy for the Articles

First The Dude on the Right has all of his testosterone taken away on Saturday afternoon, and then Stu Gotz can’t help but rub it in during this episode of Stu & The Dude’s "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. Domestication aside, it’s the day after The Academy Awards, so the boys also give their take on the good and the bad, although if they really dived into it, this podcast would be about three hours long only discussing the Oscars. And speaking of diving, Stu was sad he missed the Friday evening portion of the "Our World Underwater" SCUBA expo over the weekend. The boys also compare notes on "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay" and "He’s Just Not That Into You." and The Dude questions Stu about proper attire at a Confirmation ceremony. Last but not least, The Dude on the Right got a new issue of Playboy, and relates to Stu that he reads it for the articles.

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!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Valentine’s Day, Lots of Movies, and Not Spoiling SNL – much.

Stu Gotz is back from vacation so The Dude on the Right has a partner for this episode of their "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. Since Valentine’s Day was last weekend, well, the both of them talk a bit about their weekends, with The Dude’s being a little more romantic than Stu’s, and it included a meal fit for a King. They also settle into a lot of movie talk, with Stu seeing a bunch of rentals that didn’t get high reviews from many reviewers, The Dude seeing "High School Musical 3: Senior Year," and neither of them realizing that Ben Affleck was in the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" movie. Since Stu was back from vacation, well, he didn’t get to watch too much TV, and so as not to ruin the surprises, The Dude tells Stu to check the website for links to a couple of pretty funny Saturday Night Live skits, and that even The Jonas Brothers were funny on the show, too.

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!
