The Dude on the Right is just as flustered about the stock market as you might
be, but he just tries to make you remember the motto – "Buy low. Sell
high." Sure, his other tip is "Don’t pet a burning dog," but if the stock
market is nearing its low, you know what, ten years from now, unless the world
totally falls apart, your buying now will be flying high!
Inspiration is a big topic of this podcast, granted it might not have to
do with "South Park," or any of the movies opening this weekend, or if you are a
subscriber to "Rolling Stone" you now have batteries to properly dispose of, but
The Dude is now fascinated with
Jillian Michaels
from "The Biggest Loser," and introduces his new feature, "Jillian Michael’s
Inspirations of the Week." Go ahead and add it to your iPod for some
inspiration just when you are thinking of quitting.

Stock Market Woes, Movies I Won’t See, and Jillian Michaels’ Inspirations of the Week.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Okay, I admit, I’ve been a little lax in getting some new reviews posted, but
that doesn’t mean I have nothing to say, so here I am with
another Thursday podcast. Sure, I’m flustered that the stock market
lost 679 points, but you know the saying – "Buy low. Sell high."
Well, things are low, so it might be time to buy, unless, of course, things go
lower, in that case you bought too soon. I don’t think anyone really
understands the stock market, except maybe Warren Buffett, but then again, he
likes to hang out in Key West drinking margaritas. Oh, wait, that’s Jimmy
Buffett. Actually, drinking margaritas might not be a bad idea right now
if you look at your 401K, but don’t worry, at least the boys of "South Park" are
handling our worries about China and the raping of Indiana Jones.
There is a
bastion of movies opening this weekend, which leads me into a rant that, thanks
to an add in "Rolling Stone," I now have batteries to properly dispose of.
Maybe to dispose of them I should walk, or maybe jog, or maybe run, to the
appropriate disposal place, but if I did try this I know I would want
Jillian Michaels,
the dudette trainer from "The Biggest Loser," to kick my ass to get there.
And
so comes my transition to our new feature, which still needs a new title, but
for now it’s simply "Jillian Michaels’ Inspirations of the Week." Yup, she
has sayings to get you through your exercise regimen, she has a saying to
inspire you in your life, and and think a line from the first episode this
season will remain a staple of this feature through this fall’s run of "The
Biggest Loser."
I guess I’ll just wrap this up and say have a good weekend and
thanks for listening!
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Elevator Etiquette, Duh, Steve Fossett Isn’t Found Yet, and Simple Math.
The
Dude on the Right is fired up for this podcast but it’s not about the
Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox losing their first games in the baseball
playoffs. Nope, The Dude can’t understand the actions of a dude in an
elevator, he’s worried that he missed out on some easy grant money for studying people
at a Chinese Buffet, and even though Steve Fossett’s plane has been found, he
wonders about Steve Fossett actually being found. And if you have found,
in your e-mail, how you might be better off getting a financial windfall rather
than AIG getting their bailout, you might want to pull out your calculator to
figure out how you’re going to be spending your "windfall" of $425.00, and not
$425,000. And if you are a dudette or a gay dude, you might want to start
watching "Survivor: Gabon" and tell the PTC (Parent’s Television Council) to
butt out of your newfound hap-penis.
Elevator Etiquette, Duh, Steve Fossett Isn’t Found Yet, and Simple Math.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Sure,
for this podcast, I could rant and rave about the Chicago Cubs and Chicago
White Sox losing both of their first games in the baseball playoffs, but
something more important crept into my psyche today, and this might sound
stupid, but it simply dealt with pushing a button in an elevator. And
speaking of stupid, well, there was a study done about people who eat at a
Chinese buffet, and I just worry that I lost out on grant money for a study of
"duh." And speaking of studying, a hiker found some stuff that Steve
Fossett owned while the dude was hiking, stuff that didn’t burn up in the crash
that has now been found, but where is the body of Steve Fossett, and is there
any reward money for the dude or should he at least be able to keep the cash
that he found? And speaking of cash, there’s an e-mail going around about the
bailout of AIG that would net adults in the United States $425,000 each, but the
math is wrong. No, you don’t get $425,000 which might save you from your
own financial crisis, you would actually get $425 which probably won’t help you
pay off your mortgage, might help you get into the world’s crappiest college,
you could buy a shitty car, or purchase about 1.08 shares of stock in
Google should you decide to invest your windfall in the stock market. Me,
I’m not so much pissed that I’m not getting $425,000.00, I’m pissed I didn’t
think of writing that e-mail and let my sister disseminate it to the rest of the
world.
Lastly, the PTC (that’s the Parent’s Television Council) is upset with
CBS again. You figure out why, but if you’re a dudette or gay, you might
just start TiVoing "Survivor: Gabon."

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Lots of Movies, Sports, and Spelling Julio.
It’s
a Monday so it must be time for
a new episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, and right
off the bat Stu Gotz decides to put a different spin on a romantic moment that
The Dude on the Right and his BFF shared while having dinner at
"Uncle Julio’s Hacienda"
in Chicago. Stu tries to make up for it with a not-that-humiliating story
about not hanging up his phone after leaving a message, but as the podcast goes
on there is a lot of movie talk, with "Hoot,"
"Eagle Eye," "The Hammer," and "Ghost Town," being some of the topics.
There is also some talk about the new design of the Chicago Tribune, and the
both of them discuss sports, especially since, in Chicago, it’s been weird with
the Chicago Bears beating the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chicago Cubs waiting for
the post-season, and the Chicago White Sox needing to win things in the weirdest
ways to keep the nightmare of a Cubs-White Sox "World Series" alive.
The Dude also does his impersonation of Tina Fey impersonating Sarah Palin, but,
well, The Dude’s not that good.
Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Lots of Movies, Sports, and Spelling Julio.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Stu
Gotz is back for a
"Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, just in time to ruin the story of what I thought
was a lovely moment at dinner with my BFF, at "Uncle Julio’s Hacienda" (and you
spell "Julio" with a "J" and not an "H", and the drink I thought was called
something like "The Squirrel" is actually called
"Swirl"
, and they have way-good food), in Chicago, and he also explains that he doesn’t
know how to hang up his phone.
Dinner and a cell phone aside, the both of us
saw some movies over the weekend, with Stu not liking the Jimmy Buffett-backed
movie, "Hoot," that he saw on cable that much, my liking both
"Eagle Eye" with Shia LaBeouf, in the theater and "The Hammer" with Adam
Carolla, on DVD, and both myself and my BFF thinking "Ghost Town" with Ricky
Gervais was too long. Both Stu and I are happy the Chicago Bears won, and
Stu gives his detailed analysis of the new design of the Chicago Tribune
newspaper. Thankfully he let me take his paper because my subscription is
still on vacation hold and the store was sold out, although, since they were
actually free today, wouldn’t they have actually been free out? And me, I
also give Stu my quick analysis of my TV viewing, complete about "Dancing With
the Stars," "Survivor: Gabon," and "The Biggest Loser: Families."
Anyway, what
would a timely podcast be without my impersonation of
Tina Fey impersonating Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live," with the both
of us amazed at Tina Fey’s impersonation of Sarah Palin, though Stu was not
amazed at my impersonation of Tina Fey impersonating Sarah Palin.

What’s New? A Podcast of: Remote Control Madness, “Survivor: Gabon,” and Who’s to Blame?
The Dude on the Right is flying solo for this podcast, but that’s okay,
because his life is now in turmoil thanks to his buying a new T.V., and Canada.
It seems that getting a new T.V. also required getting a new cable box, and now
his way-cool remote control isn’t way-cool anymore because it needs some major
reprogramming. And as much as he can still control his T.V. viewing with 4
different remotes, and as much as he can now record 5 shows at one time, the
success of the Chicago Cubs, and the impending doom of the Chicago White Sox,
throws a small monkey-wrench into The Dude’s viewing plans because sports are
best watched live.
The Dude also had a nice weekend planned, but as things are in turmoil in the
United States, in the end, it might just all be Canada’s fault. At least
it was on
"South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut," a movie he didn’t let The W.G.N. see
when he was youngin. Sometimes The Dude tries to be a good uncle.
Remote Control Madness, “Survivor: Gabon,” and Who’s to Blame?
By:
The Dude on the Right
Who knew that buying a new TV would send my life into a remote control meltdown,
but for this podcast, as much as I’m happy I have my new HDTV, all of a
sudden I have realized that my way-cool Philips Pronto remote control, that
works through walls, needs to be reprogrammed, and if any of you know a good
location to get hex remote codes (I used to have a link through Premise Systems,
but I guess they are gone), I would greatly appreciate an e-mail with where to
go. Sure, this last sentence probably means absolutely nothing to most of
you, but to us remote control programming nuts, trust me, it makes total sense.
But my lame remote control woes aside, TV is starting to kick into high gear,
especially with "Survivor: Gabon" starting tonight, and yes, I’m still watching
Survivor, much to the worrisome of my BFF. I have to say I haven’t gotten
sucked back into "Dancing With the Stars," but I am back on board for "The
Biggest Loser: Families" and "Heroes." The tricky part about T.V., though,
right now, is that The Chicago Cubs have secured a playoff spot, the Chicago
White Sox are letting the end of this season be a nail-biter, and even though I
now have five ways to record shows, sports are always best watched live.
And I don’t have my programmable remote set up to help me with any of this yet.
Lastly, there’s also some blame to go around for a change in my weekend plans,
and who better to blame than a country.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Bears, Emmy’s, T.V., TiVo, and No “Buddy Christ” Explanation.
The
Dude on the Right is lonely, and
flying solo for this podcast, and doesn’t even
explain to the audio world why "The Buddy Christ" is back where he belongs, at
least in the world of The Dude on the Right. He does, though, talk about
his football team, the Chicago Bears, still sucking, how the Emmy Awards sucked,
but the only thing infiltrating the mind of The Dude right now, other than
wondering how his BFF will accept him into the fall season, is how he will be
able to TiVo all of his favorite T.V. shows, especially since he now owns an
HDTV. On a Monday when The Dude could have probably used someone to talk
to, namely Stu Gotz, especially to tell him about the secret to maybe relieving
his congested nose during allergy season, well, The Dude is relegated to viewing
television, on a crystal clear, high-def TV screen, yet wondering how to record "Survivor:
Gabon" in high-def.
The Dude really needs to win the
lottery.
Bears, Emmy’s, T.V., TiVo, and No “Buddy Christ” Explanation.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Yup,
I’m totally on my game. Not.
I open this podcast simply stating "The Buddy Christ is back where he
belongs, and Stu Gotz, isn’t here.", and do I explain? Maybe I explain a
little about Stu, but other than during the opening there is no other mention of
"The Buddy Christ," who is now back, where he belongs, after a "leaning over"
issue that sent a candle, speaker, mouse charger, and The Buddy Christ careening
to the floor. Things were picked up, though something seemed to be
missing, and all of a sudden I realized my Buddy was missing. There he
was, on the floor, behind the podcast computer, so I used my "Bull Penis" putter
to wrangle him out of a mess of cables, and now, The Buddy Christ, is back where
he belongs! This is such a longer story than I can relate in a preamble to
a podcast summary.
But enough about something I don’t talk about during this
podcast, I lonely-ing talk about my disgruntleness with The Chicago Bears, how
The Emmy’s still suck, and as this TV season begins, and my BFF only knows me
from my summer, mostly miscellaneous T.V. viewing, she might just be in for the
shock of her life come this Fall Season. Yup, I’ve got a new TV, one of
those newfangled HDTV’s, and now I might need another new TiVo, which might not
be bad a bad idea so I can actually record all of the shows I want to, in HD, or
move my computer bunker, but for now I’m just torn what Monday night shows
should end up on my TiVo Season Pass, between "Heroes," "The Big Bang Theory,"
"How I Met Your Mother," "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," "Dancing
With the Stars," and next week "Chuck" comes back to really throw a
monkey-wrench into the mix.
I’ve got three, boring, normal, TiVo tuners, so
I’m still studying the TV schedule as I type this, but it looks like "Dancing
With the Stars" will get the boot, for now, because if Cloris Leachman does fall
down, I know it will be on YouTube. And don’t get me started about my
Thursday TiVo-ing, with the premiers of "Survivor: Gabon," "My Name is Earl,"
and, to be able to talk with my BFF, I might have to fit "Grey’s Anatomy" in my
TiVo-ing!
A blog might come later about TiVo-ing "The Biggest Loser:
Families," but maybe I should watch that when I wake up and groggily get on my
exercise bike.
What I would almost give for another writer’s strike right now.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
