Idol, Loser, Lost, Survivor, Twitter, and a Lava Lamp!

By:

The Dude on the Right

Obama Lava LampFor my last podcast I explained how The BFF and I got hitched, but for this podcast I explain how she might break up with me if I do, in fact, order the Collector’s Edition Inaugural Lava Lamp from lavalite.com. As much as I would really like to get that lava lamp, I love my BFF, so I might have to hold off a purchase such as that, but I’m still wrapped up in TV, and it’s getting good. Yup, "American Idol" is back and I can’t wait for them to get to Hollywood because, well, I know a lot of people can’t sing already; I have to say I’m disappointed in the editing of "The Biggest Loser" because this season it looks like Bob is the hard-ass, and I’m getting gipped on my Jillian Michaels’ clips for the podcast, although she did show some butt-crack this week and wears funky shoes; "Lost" returned with a vengence, or at least making me like the show again; and "Survivor: Tocantin’s" kicks in on February 12th, and I can’t wait!

Lastly for this podcast, as much as I Twitter, and some new people are following me, I wonder how, or if, some of these people actually follow 20,000+ Twitterers, and also wonder if Facebook will lift their 5000 limit on friends so that local personalities can be more friendly.

I might be flying solo for next Monday’s podcast like I was for this podcast, but if you are Skypable and might want to chat for about 20 minutes, e-mail me at podcast@entertainmentavenue.com and maybe we can podcast together.

Thanks for listening!

Hail to the Chief!, Happy Birthdays!, Happy Anniversary!, and Getting Hitched!

By:

The Dude on the Right

Yup, let me start this podcast summary simply by saying that yes, The BFF and I got hitched together, and yes, yesterday in Las Vegas it was 65 degrees and sunny. I say this because yesterday I posted a Tweet mentioning our uniting, and the day started out with a lot of joy. The thing is, as much as Dino was doing a decent job at officiating, in the end our getting hitched wasn’t exactly what we were hoping for. I so much wanted to help The BFF "Pull My Finger," but sadly she’s still just flipping out. Such are some of the trials and tribulations with getting relationships upgraded, so as much as this podcast is about me and The BFF, with the Inauguration of Barak Obama as our 44th President upon us, I do try to also include some other topics in the podcast.

So, part of my trying to not make this podcast all about me (and The BFF), well, it also has to do with my reflecting on if Barack Obama keeps himself clean, thereby reminiscing the lyrics of “Hail to the Chief,” (I would love to know if Barak actually sang this in the Presidential shower – I know I would), how I really didn’t like “Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” and a bunch of shout-outs to my sister, The World’s Most Fantastical Niece, and Stu Gotz.

And, oh yea, Bob actually had the "Clip of the Week" for "The Biggest Loser," and not Jillian Michaels.

And, oh yea, yea, AT&T, you need to do a better job at your officiating!

Thanks for listening!

What’s New? A Podcast of: The Dude & The W.G.N.: A Haphazard Opening, Terrorist Geese, Las Vegas, American Idol, and More!

The W.G.N. is back, and no thanks to The Dude on the Right, he sounds great. Yup, The Dude screwed up this podcast by not recording the first 5 minutes of their conversation, and then tries to sum it all up with some talk about the US Airways plane landing/crash in the Hudson River in New York City, but since The W.G.N. knew nothing about it, well, he just tries to reiterate the undocumented story that The Dude told about the terrorist plot of the Canadian Geese. Geese aside, The W.G.N. took a trip to Las Vegas and talks about winnings and losings, about a non-trip to "Thunder From Down Under," and how he really wants to take a college final exam, while The Dude is obsessed with "American Idol," sort of, but at least recognized that Bikini Girl had a nice body though not a great voice, while The W.G.N. professed that he only listened to Bikini Girl, because he only has eyes for one girl. Hmm?

They also talk about the weather, what with Chicago in a deep freeze for The Dude, while The W.G.N. is bitchy about the 50 degree weather he has, but with the schedule The W.G.N. has, well, he might be a more frequent guest for Thurday podcasts, so feel free to comment him at will.

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! A Lot of Movies, Manuary has Changed The Dude, and The Golden Globes

The Dude on the Right is changing during Manuary, but probably not in the way Manuary is supposed to change a man, so during this episode of Stu & The Dude’s "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, well, The Dude takes a little while to get out of his weekend transforming, thanks to going to Nordstrom’s, seeing "Bride Wars," and watching DVD’s of "Funny Face" and "Breakfast at Tiffany’s." Stu Gotz does his best to get The Dude back into the real meaning of the month, although really, does his "listening" to "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Chipettes," really count? The both of them do talk about some exercising things, The Golden Globe Awards, and Tina Fey’s boobs, so maybe Manuary is back on track.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! A Lot of Movies, Manuary has Changed The Dude, and The Golden Globes

By:

The Dude on the Right

Manuary is starting to change me, especially as I tell Stu Gotz about my weekend during this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" Podcast. I let Stu know about my exercising, a trip to Nordstom’s, going to the movies to see "Bride Wars," and watching a couple of DVD’s, "Funny Face" and "Breakfast at Tiffany’s," all with my BFF. I have to say I was a bit surprised at Stu suggesting he just needed to drag me to Hooters and not to some other place with hooters, but maybe it was because I let him know that I found Audrey Hepburn as a very pretty dudette so there might still be hope for me this Manuary, especially if I stop shaving. The exercising topic reminded Stu of a 5K that Mama Gotz is looking to run/trot/walk in, as well as some old clothes she is trying to wear, and he didn’t head to the movies but gives his reason why he can’t recommend "Eagle Eye," although he does think little kids, both boys and girls, will like "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Chipettes."

With the Golden Globe Awards yesterday, we also talk about those, with Stu enjoying Tina Fey’s win, although not her dress, and Stu does his best to try to convince me to watch TV shows on cable, although with Battlestar Galactica returning this Friday, there will be one cable show I’ll be watching.

No matter what TV I’ll be watching, thanks for listening!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! A Fraternity Dinner, TV Talk, and Girls in Skimpy Outfits

The Dude on the Right shirked his duties for a few days to reunite with some
friends from his fraternity days, and since Stu Gotz was also a friend in The
Dude’s fraternity days, and since friends came in from near and far, for this

"Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast
, Stu & The Dude reminisce a bit, reflect on a
weekend with friends, and aren’t really sorry that they can’t party any more
like it’s 1999.  And as they reflect on a weekend of getting together with
old friends, they don’t forget new things, like the Chicago Bears beating a
different football team, Stu seeing some old movies like "Bring It On," "Stick
It," and "The Day the Earth Stood Still," and they both love TV, with The Dude
really loving "Chuck," even if it is very predictable, and Stu eagerly awaiting
the return of "Battlestar Galactica" to the TV airwaves.

Who knows what they’ll talk about next?

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! A Fraternity Dinner, TV Talk, and Girls in Skimpy Outfits

By:

The Dude on the Right

Back from an extended weekend of fun with old friends, well, most of this

"Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast
is about Stu and I getting together with
friends that we have been friends with for over twenty years, mostly thanks to
our fraternity days in a place called Theta Xi.  We’ve been having these
Christmas (or P.C. correct "Holiday") parties for years, and as the years are
going by, most of us don’t have the stamina to party until closing time anymore. 
Instead, well, we find ourselves tired and just decide to head back to our hotel
rooms and go to bed.

The years have also brought about some change in
locations for food and drink, where
"English"
has taken the place of "Hooters," for lunch on Friday, for some
reason we seem to like
"Reagle Beagle,"
and a festive dinner happened at
"Tavern at the Park"
where people came in from Florida, New Jersey, Minnesota, and places around the
world, or at least around Chicago.

We also talk about the Chicago Bears, TV (I
really like the show "Chuck,") and Stu and Mama Gotz caught up on old movies
like "Bring It On," "Stick It," and the really old (yet coming this weekend new)
"The Day the Earth Stood Still," while Stu is worried about the Jim Carrey movie
coming out, "Yes Man," namely that it might suck because of all of the publicity
it is getting.

So much
more, so much less, but as always,
thanks for listening!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Black Friday, A Walnut Room, Painting, Gambling, Movies, and More!

Thanksgiving
led to the lack of a Thursday podcast last week, but The Dude on the Right & Stu
Gotz do their best to make up for it during this episode of

their "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast
.  The thing is, with an extended
weekend, they talk about a lot of the same things, like movies ("Bolt," "Tropic
Thunder," "Iron Man," "Delta Farce," and "Australia"), music (Britney Spears has
a new CD, "Circus," coming out), TV ("The Big Band Theory" and "How I Met Your
Mother"), and The Chicago Bears losing, but the holidays brought some new stuff
like a visit to the Museum of Science and Industry for the Gotz’s, a new holiday
tradition that should probably stop in its tracks (it’s a visit to The Walnut
Room at Macy’s, which used to be Marshall Fields), The Dude having dinner and
lunch with a variety of friends, and both Stu and The Dude disgusted at people
who helped lead to the death of a dude at Wal Mart on Black Friday.

They both cover a lot of ground, but the podcast is under 20 minutes, so what
the hell, go ahead and

give the podcast a listen
.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Black Friday, A Walnut Room, Painting, Gambling, Movies, and More!

By:

The Dude on the Right

As
we are slowly getting recording our podcast on my MacBook laptop a little more
consistent, it was kind of weird because as much as this was a long weekend for
the both of us with Turkey-Day involved, I still wonder why

our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast
is usually about the same things.

Stu,
well, with the holiday, started getting the Little Gotz’s involved in science
with a trip to the "Museum of Science and Industry" in Chicago, and then
introduced them to bad food at "The Walnut Room" while I advise people just show
up there to see the Christmas Tree and get dinner somewhere else.  He also
saw the movie "Bolt" in 3-D and thought the story sucked but was good for the
kids, and Mama Gotz wouldn’t let him finish watching "Delta Farce" thanks to his
Netflix queue.  He also tries to analyze an episode of "The Big Bang
Theory," and we both loved the "Naked Man" episode of "How I Met Your Mother."

Me, I tell Stu about me and my BFF having dinner with The Dude on the Left and
Trash; lunch with The Mystery Dude and Mama Mystery Dude; how I didn’t see any
movies over the Thanksgiving weekend (but am looking forward to a review of
"Australia" from The W.G.N.); how little ones are becoming gamblers; and am
thankful that the Chicago Bears loss to the Minnesota Vikings might save me some
hours from watching football for the rest of the season, although that time
might be now taken by listening to Britney Spears’ new CD, "Circus."

So much
more, so much less, but as always,
thanks for listening!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Here Comes Britney Spears’ Circus, Here Comes “Twilight,” and Here Are “Jillian Michaels’ Clips of the Week!”

The Dude on the Right is

a little melancholy for this podcast,
what with Thanksgiving coming up and
his not traveling to the Old Country this year (and it’s not even because he’s a
Radio Shack Manager anymore), but at least he’ll be spending time with his BFF,
which is nice.  It’s also nice for him that he’ll be thinking about seeing
"Twilight" and "Bolt," rather than actually seeing the movies "Twilight" and
"Bolt," but nothing beats his anticipation like getting the initial word that
Britney Spears might be showing up on her "Circus" tour in the Chicago area, in
March of 2009.

Thankfully he still watches "The Biggest Loser" giving him a new batch of
inspiration thanks to "Jillian Michaels’ Clips of the Week!"  The Dude is
now inspired to fight another day!
