In an anomaly of a weekend during the summer movie season, I explain to Stu
Gotz,

during our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, that I didn’t see any new movies over
the weekend, although Stu and Mama Gotz did get a chance to see

"Get Smart."  My reasoning for not seeing any new movies was because of
a trip to the old country,
Lorain, OH, with my BFF, to visit some of the members of my family. 
Sadly it was a trip with my mom not feeling well (Mom, get well soon!), but I
think mom meeting my BFF did help lift mom’s spirits a bit.  I also tell
Stu of my taking some of the family to
Applebee’s,
giving my girlfriend a tour of the old country that she hasn’t seen in nearly 20
years, how we went to get some ice cream sundaes (thanks to my observant
nature), and played some miniature golf (thanks to my iPhone, which wasn’t even
updated to my having a lightsaber yet), with both the getting sundaes and
playing miniature golf not happening in Lorain :-(.  I did forget, though,
to mention to Stu about my BFF and I winning the lottery, thus necessitating a
trip back to Ohio.  If The WGN and I have a podcast on Thursday, well, I’m
sure he will want to know the portion of the winnings he might be getting!
(Don’t hold your breath The WGN!)

Stu Gotz, along with his movie viewing, did
have a lot of excitement over his weekend, some of it family related which
caused him to miss a Cubs’ game, but also some of it dealing with his love of
SCUBA.

The podcast also talks about the Mr. Men show, Stu’s love of cable TV
shows on USA, and how Deanna on "The Bachelorette" picked the snowboard dude,
Jesse, even though I keep referencing him as "the skateboard" dude.  Oh
well. 

We also talk about new movies coming out this weekend, even though there is
really only one movie for everyone to see, and me to review, namely

"The Dark Knight," though the dudettes can go and see

"Mamma Mia!"

You know what, chicken butt, but this podcast synopsis is
already too long, just go and

listen to it for yourself!

And because I can, because this is my website, another shout-out to my mom – “Mom, get well soon!”

Thanks for listening!

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

Stu Gotz’s delay in getting back to the Chi-Town area after an RV-ing adventure
(complete with a trip to
Herkimer N.Y.) led
to our

"Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast being a day late, but even with an extra day of
preparation, I somehow manage to screw-up our opening.  Oh well!  We
don’t do a lot of movie talking, just a quick thought about

"Wanted" from me, some quick thoughts about

"Wall-E" from both of us, but the movie clip that actually had all of us
laughing, from Stu and Mama Gotz to the Little Gotz’s, and from myself to my BFF,
was the animated short, "Presto," that preceded "Wall-E," about a cute little
rabbit, just wanting to get fed, and a magical hat.

Stu did manage to catch up
on some of his Netflix viewing, loving "Letters from Iwo Jima," while I regale
Stu with my loving the new season of
"Penn & Teller: Bullshit,"
especially their take on "New Age Medicine," the magic of a kazoo, and I can’t
believe I forgot to tell Stu about the toilet plunger therapy and how Penn &
Teller seem to know their audience is a bunch of men because suddenly their
booby quotient is a lot higher than in past episodes.  I do advise Stu that
now might be the time to get Sirius Satellite Radio, and no, not because of the
merger with XM, an approval decision that has so far lasted longer than it takes
for a baby to be conceived, born, and eating solid food, but because for a
couple of weeks they are going to have "ABBA Radio," all ABBA, 24/7, in
celebration of the upcoming

"Mamma Mia!" movie.  We also have some tattoo and piercing talk, and as
I tell Stu to go and look for
the video,
there was a fight during the one of the latest Chicago White Sox/Chicago Cubs
Crosstown Classic games, and nope, it’s not about rival fans beating each other
up, but rather about joining together in the love.

And, go figure, Stu has
toilet paper issues.

Happy listening!
