The Dude on the Right is flying solo for this "Weeked Wrap-Up!" podcast, and wonders what women are dreaming of having sex with President Obama. Okay, The Dude doesn’t make this podcast all about sex, he also blames The Prez for any problems with his TiVo viewing this night, and wow, how the mighty "Dancing with the Stars" has fallen, at least in terms of contestants, although maybe this is exactly what the show needs to do to bring people back – bring in wacky people. The Dude on the Right better re-edit his TiVo schedules.

The Prez Screws Up TiVo, Who is Dancing with the Stars, and Are You Sleeping with Barack Obama?
By:
The Dude on the Right
As much as I hate flying solo for a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, and with Stu Gotz hopefully getting a sunburn, for a change I have a lot to talk about, thankfully, mostly, to the new season of "Dancing with the Stars." Yup, the dancing show is back, and how many of you can tell me who "Steve Wozniak" is? The first person who e-mails me (that I don’t personally know) (podcast@entertainmentavenue.com) who he is, will win an Entertainment Ave! shirt and hat! Other than Steve, and L.T., what the hell is Jewel doing on "Dancing with the Stars?" Part of me wants to watch this season’s train-wreck of a show, but the other part says "Dude, it’s time to just let it go." And as I’m also typing this, I’m wondering how my TiVos are responding to President Obama’s press conference this evening, but even more wondering how many dudettes, or hell, even dudes, are having dreams of sleeping with President Obama.
I also have an idea for how to spend Valentine’s Day with my BFF, but that will have to wait for a talk with The W.G.N. on Thursday. I hope he’s free for a podcast because I think I need his advice.

What’s New? A podcast of: The Dude & The W.G.N. – It’s Relative: Tires, Fat, Scary Movies, Racing, and Jillian Michaels’ Clips of the Week!
The W.G.N. is back for another "It’s Relative" podcast, and even though The Dude on the Right talks too much, The W.G.N. does remember that he was an important part of office camaraderie. The Dude reminds them both that they can’t be commercials airline pilots and that he isn’t such a wus when he can’t change a flat tire, The W.G.N. went to see "My Bloody Valentine 3D," Bikini Girl is gone from American Idol, and even though you might be sad that Joelle and Carla are gone on "The Biggest Loser," at least Jillian Michaels is in fine form for the "Clips of the week" segment. Happy listening.

It’s a Thursday and The W.G.N. is here for this "It’s Relative" podcast, and both of us quickly realize that we can’t be commercial airline pilots, but thank God Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and the dudes in the airport towers were the fixtures of calm. Me, I almost lost some man-points because I couldn’t change a flat tire, but since the big, burly dude also wasn’t able to crack my nuts, I gained them back. In further podcast, somehow The W.G.N.’s mom went to go and see "My Bloody Valentine 3D," and he gives a little synopsis of the movie, he’s hoping to do well at an upcoming bowling tournament, and he brought the office workers together for a simple foot-race, with The W.G.N. being Mr. Fleet-Feet!
Me, I’m still stuck on TV viewing, warning The W.G.N. to clear his schedule for a new season of Survivor that starts next week, how Bikini Girl might be gone from American Idol but probably won’t go away, and what would a Thursday podcast be without my Jillian Michaels’ Clips of the Week, and trust me, she is in fine form this week.

I’m Ready for the Digital TV Resolution and Can’t Take any more Commercials. Can You, for Four More Months?
By:
The Dude on the Right
And so the United States House of Representatives decided to delay the switch to digital TV, just like the Senate did, and now President Obama will most likely sign the bill into law, just like in the Schoolhouse Rock cartoons. What does that mean for you and me? – Four more months of inane commercials asking if we are ready for the switch to digital TV.
Here’s what I don’t get… So they set up this date for the transition, it was supposed to be February 17th, and the government web site still says that’s the day (because it’s a bill, it’s only a bill, and it’s sitting there on Capitol Hill as of my typing this), we got bombarded by tons of commercials asking if we were ready for the switch (my favorite is the one with Vanna White, Pat Sajak, and Alex Trebek, because, well, in my mind, that one probably applies to most of the 20 million people who haven’t made the switch yet), and now, because millions of morons watching analog TV didn’t pay attention to the commercials, because millions of morons let their $40 coupons expire, and the government ran out of coupons, because, and I’m just assuming, millions of morons let their $40 coupons expire, we will get 4 more months of some of the dumbest “public service announcements” about the digital TV transition bombarding our airwaves, thus taking up quality commercial time where we could be seeing Danica Patrick and other scantily clad dudettes in low-cut tops on TV.
My proposal is this: On February 17th, switch all programming to digital TV for most of us, so that most of us can be spared any more stupid commercials telling us how stupid those that didn’t figure out this switch are, yet. The bill should state that rather than instantly abandoning those who didn’t switch, or get their coupon, or listen to Vanna, Pat, and Alex, well, still beam an analog signal for two months, without the TV show people were expecting, instead broadcast a simple, text message that scrolls the screen saying, “You are stupid. We’ve been telling you for months to upgrade your TV, or get the damn digital box to be able to receive your TV program. Since you are reading this message you might now realize you can’t see someone win a million dollars on “Wheel of Fortune” because you didn’t get that little box, and/or ask your grandson/neighbor to hook it up because you don’t want to change your little world. Since you are reading this message it is also probably obvious that you don’t have Internet access, so asking you to visit www.dtv.gov will be stupid, but instead, in XXX days, if you don’t do the upgrade we’ve been telling you about for months, well, this screen will be blank and you won’t be able to yell at your TV “What is ‘The St. Louis Arch?’” Have a nice day!”
I don’t think I can take four more months of people asking me if I’m ready for the switch to digital TV, and I wonder, can you? You better be, because I’m guessing President Obama will sign this bill.
There will be people screwed over by this transition, I understand that, but in the words of Larry the Cable Guy, git r done! You know what, maybe he should be the spokesperson for this digital TV transition!
That’s it for this one!

What’s New? A podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Groundhog Day, a Super Bowl, Disney is Dirty, and Playboy For the Articles!
The Dude on the Right and Stu Gotz are back for a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. The Dude on the Right and Stu Gotz are back for a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. The Dude on the Right and Stu Gotz are back for a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. Oh wait, this isn’t "Groundhog Day," the movie, this is a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast on Groundhog Day, and Stu Gotz is here! With the Super Bowl over The Dude and Stu talk about the game, how The Dude’s BFF has a few more M&M’s, and how Stu watched the commercials even though The Dude didn’t pay that much attention. And even though the Super Bowl was on TV, there is a lot more TV talk for the two of them to have, Stu wonders why Google thinks he is German and why Disney World is dirty, complete with a lot of gum, while The Dude is happy that Manuary is over and talks about why he reads Playboy for the articles. Oddly enough, Stu asks The Dude if he could borrow his Playboy later to read the interview with the dude from "House," Hugh Laurie, and not to investigate who the centerfold is. Odds are Stu is lying and will check out the centerfold before even looking for the Hugh Laurie interview.
Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Groundhog Day, a Super Bowl, Disney is Dirty, and Playboy For the Articles!

The Dude on the Right
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."

What’s New? The Dude & The W.G.N.: Gov. Blago, Las Vegas, the PBA, Super Bowl, and Jillian Michaels’ Clips of the Week!
The Dude on the Right is joined by The W.G.N. for this podcast, but The Dude is in way-talkative mode so The W.G.N. does a lot of listening. There is talk, though, of the Nephew’s trip to Las Vegas and meeting members of the PBA, and his abiltity to be a decent tour guide in Houston, while The Dude talks of the imminent destruction/sale of his Second Life property, if the Pittsburgh Steelers should win The Super Bowl, and debuts his brief song parody about ex-Governor Rod Blagojevich. And as much as both The Dude on the Right and The W.G.N. probably need some inspiration, sadly the Jillian Michaels’ Clips of the Week didn’t seem to do it for either of them.
The Dude & The W.G.N.: Gov. Blago, Las Vegas, the PBA, Super Bowl, and Jillian Michaels’ Clips of the Week!
By:
The Dude on the Right
The W.G.N. is back from Sin City, that’s Las Vegas to the rest of you, and he doesn’t have a lot to say about it for this podcast, although he did get to meet some members of the PBA, and I’m not talking about the Policemen’s (or Patrolmen’s) Benevolent Association members on the east coast, I’m talking about members of the Professional Bowlers Association, which was having a tournament in Vegas, which I guess is more appropriate since The W.G.N. was in Vegas for a bowling tournament, but not the professional bowlers’ one. In any case, he seemed to have a good time, and I had a good time explaining the likes of how Governor, or rather just now, Rod Blagojevich, got booted out of office, how I wish a PETA commercial had better audio, and we both give our thoughts on who to root for during The Super Bowl.
I was a tad disappointed at the lack of The W.G.N.’s T.V. watching, but I suppose I’ll cut him some slack since he is trying to graduate college and get into law school and all, so, for his listening pleasure, I did enlighten him with my "Jillian Michaels’ Clips of the Week." The W.G.N., sadly, wasn’t inspired.
It was great to have him to chat with during this podcast, it’s always more fun to do a Podcast with someone, and who better than the World’s Greatest Nephew, even if he isn’t that much of a Bruce Springsteen fan!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Idol, Loser, Lost, Survivor, Twitter, and a Lava Lamp!
The Dude on the Right is flying solo for this podcast, and if he’s not careful his BFF might just break up with him. The sad thing is it would be over a Lava Lamp, and not something serious like putting the toilet seat down. But relationship difficulties aside, The Dude is also sucked back into all kinds of TV, like "American Idol" (He wants them to get to Hollywood already), "The Biggest Loser" (He hates Joella, likes Jillian’s butt-crack, but misses Jillian being a hard-ass), "Lost" (He wonders what the hell is going on), and "Survivor: Tocantin’s" (He wonders how you actually say "Tocantin"). And even though The Dude Twitters, he wonders how you can actually "follow" 20,000+ Twitterers.
