Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!: Vote for Sanjaya, Movie Talk, Chris Rock, Building Shelves, and More!
By:
The Dude on the Right
I think Stu is now on board the
"Vote for Sanjaya" train! Yup, Stu Gotz is here for another
unbelievable episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!", and what an
action-packed
podcast it is. I fill Stu in on the beginning of last weekend’s
"Saturday Night Live" where
Chris Rock kicked off the show, and I am a little off during the podcast
because Carol Burnett tugged her ear for her grandmother and not her mother, but
in any case she is suing "The Family Guy" folks. I remind Stu about coming
on board the
"Vote for Sanjaya" train, and he suggests we start an e-mail and cell-phone
texting list to remind people when to vote and what number to call. Stu
got to see "Premonition" and is fascinated by Sandra Bullock’s butt, while I saw
"I Think I Love My Wife" and think Chris Rock lost focus of exactly what the
film was supposed to be.
Then there is some NCAA Basketball talk (Go
Salukis!), a redesign of
mostlyentertainment.com, I might try to
lose weight
again, and Stu tries to build some wacky shelves but mostly just pisses off
Mama Gotz.
And, oh yea, I’ve also got mini bananas.
See, I told you it’s an
action-packed episode!
Thanks for listening and your comments.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Sanjaya is Still Alive on “American Idol,” Paula Abdul Quotes, and the SIU Salukis in the Final Four.
For this podcast The Dude on the Right tries to explain how the Southern Illinois Salukis will get to the Final Four of the NCAA tournament. He is also on the “Keep Sanjaya Alive” movement for “American Idol” and has his favorite Paula Abdul moments. He also ponders getting another degree, but wonders if it might be legitimate.
Sanjaya is Still Alive on “American Idol,” Paula Abdul Quotes, and the SIU Salukis in the Final Four.

Sanjaya is safe! Sanjaya is safe! The movement has begun, and sure,
the dude is only 17, and maybe it’s sort of cruel to keep him around, but he did
audition for "American Idol" and the judges let him get into the top 24, but
most of everyone wonders why he is still on the show. He is the focus of
the Vote for the Worst website, Howard Stern is working to rally his troops to
vote for him next week, and if Gina or Jordin don’t win, I’m all aboard the
Sanjaya train. But
this podcast isn’t all about Sanjaya, I’ve also got my Paula Abdul clips of
the week, and since the NCAA tournament has started, I treat you to my picking
magic and the Southern Illinois Salukis getting to the Final Four.
If that
weren’t enough I received an e-mail saying I could get a degree because of my
life experience. I don’t think I trust it because the subject was "yuor
ceirdt crad has been seespunpd." For some reason I don’t think the offer
is legit, but maybe I should call the phone number anyway. I’ve already
got an Aerospace Engineering degree, why not shoot for another one?

Who Gets Booted from “American Idol?” Hopefully not Sanjaya.
By:
The Dude on the Right
So the final twelve got their truly first taste of "Holy shit, I might win
American Idol?!?", and it’s not looking good for any of the dudes, but it
looks like Simon has figured out who would be the money-maker if only she would
sing better. Here’s my take on last night’s singing, on Diana Ross
night…
Brandon: Not a good start for the dudes. He seemed rushed, or
the band seemed to playing the song too fast for him. Then he blew it when he
couldn’t recover after his pelvic thrusting.
Melinda: She was great, but she needs to drop a few pounds to get into
a different league.
Chris (with hair): Ruined a beautiful song by trying to do a new
arrangement.
Gina: I think she did a decent version and is in a weird league on the
show being the "rocker-chick."
Sanjaya: He was fantastic in his Sanjaya way and
so deserves to stay, just so we can see Simon pull his hair out.
Haley: Boring but nice legs. I think Simon is secretly rooting for her
to pull it together because of most of the contestants she has the look to pull
off the pop-idol career.
Phil: So far he was the best of the dudes, but still nothing special,
and doesn’t have a pop-idol look.
Lekisha: Great voice, in that Motown style of way.
Blake: Why do these dudes think they need to "update" these songs, and
then suck at it?
Stephanie: She just seemed okay, nothing special.
Chris (with less hair): He was just bad.
Jordin: She sounded and looked great. She’s the closest to
having the entire idol package.
Looks like the competition is between Melinda, Lekisha, and Jordin, with Gina
tossed in as a wild card if only because she is the exact opposite of that trio.
None of the dudes are close to the girls at this point, but I’m still throwing
my hat in Sanjaya’s corner, just for the shear humor of it.
Who gets booted? We’ll find out tonight, but from one web site it’s
looking good for Sanjaya sticking around for awhile. Hooray!
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
I Might Just be Voting for Sanjaya on “American Idol.”
By:
The Dude on the Right
After watching "American
Idol" last week I have a prediction that next season there might be some
changing in how the top twelve finalists are picked, namely that from the "top
24" to the "top twelve" the judges will have a vote for who gets booted, kind of
like how the voting is handled for
"Dancing With the Stars," where the judge’s scores are averaged with the
phone-in vote. From the looks on Randy, Paula, and Simon’s faces, they did
not seemed pleased with everyone who made it to the top twelve.
And since I’m
not that pleased with everyone who made it to the top twelve either, and after
listening to
Howard Stern this morning, I am really close to jumping on the
"Vote for the Worst"
bandwagon and pledge my allegiance to
Sanjaya. As I write this I am even closer to trying to keep Sanjaya
around, especially after witnessing Brandon’s opening number for tonight’s show,
where he forgot the words to the song after his "Elvis Pelvic-Thrust Maneuver."
I suppose I’ll see how Gina does, since she’s from my neck of the woods, but for
now, as Howard put it, I would love to see Simon pulling out his hair as Sanjaya
gets closer to being our next "American Idol."
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
What’s New? Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up Podcast: Bet on Heather’s Leg, Happy Birthday Stu, A Trip to Ohio, and “300.”
For this podcast of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up” The Dude on the Right went home to Ohio, and his city wasn’t gone. Instead he tells Stu Gotz of things like bad radio, restaurant reviews, math, and “Dancing Queen.” The Dude also saw “300” and lets Stu know if he can expect nudity, sex, and violence in the film. Stu, on the other hand, celebrated a birthday but is in a bad mood because he didn’t get the present he was expecting.
Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Bet on Heather’s Leg, Happy Birthday Stu, A Trip to Ohio, and “300.”
By:
The Dude on the Right
For
last week’s episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up" Stu Gotz told a
great story about boobs during his trip to Las Vegas. For
this week’s episode I only went to visit the parents in Ohio, and my stories
have nothing to do about boobs, but I do have exciting topics such as bad radio
bits, bizarre restaurant reviews, people who can’t divide $30,000, and whistling
an Abba song. Along with that we both talk a bit about the latest South
Park episode, "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson," and Stu Gotz celebrated a
birthday without getting what he really wanted for a birthday present.
I also give Stu my recap of the movie "300," and if I ever get to writing the
review, I’ll give it 4 out of 5 stars, and maybe I’ll also place a bet on
Heather Mills and her leg.
Thanks for listening and your comments.

Tyra Banks says “So What!”, I Say “Just Come, and Celebrate.”
By:
The Dude on the Right
I’ve got two topics I want to blog about this evening. One was brought
about by listening to Howard Stern the last couple of days when he was
commenting about Tyra Banks’ new "So What!" campaign where you can, as I’m
typing this (nice typo Tyra people),
"Upload You ‘So What!’
Video". The other is a quick comment about the Olympics. Sure,
maybe as a blogger I should separate them into two different blogs, but read
about what you want.
So let’s get to the Tyra Banks’ "So What!" campaign.
It seems Tyra is trying to empower women (and maybe dudes) to be happy and be
one with some self-esteem issues by simply saying "So what!" On its
surface it seems like a nice campaign, but what bothers me is that, for the most
part, it pretty much only deals with weight issues. She had women on her
show, wearing one-piece bathing suits, with their weight plastered on them, I
guess as a testament to their being proud of their bodies (if they were that
proud, shouldn’t they have been in two-piece suits? I’m sorry, I
digress.). Her website spotlights three women from the show, one who "So
what"-ed that her thighs rubbed together when she walked, another who "So what"-ed
she couldn’t lose the last 15 pounds, and another who "So what"-ed that her
thighs jiggled when she walked.
My problem is that weight should never be a "So what!" issue, and as someone
who continues to struggle with his weight, I’ve joked, thanks to Homer Simpson,
"I’ve been an obese man trapped inside a fat man’s body" many a time, but never,
as self-esteemish as it is, did I ever dream of shouting "So what!" about my
weight. From the way I see it "So what!" things should be left for things
like "Sometimes I like to pee in the shower," or maybe "Every now and then I
don’t shave my legs for a week," or maybe "Yes, I’m almost 40 and I like ‘Smallville,’"
or maybe "I like to smell my own farts," or maybe "Some days I like to wear
sweats and not do my hair," or maybe "I still watch ‘Survivor,’" or maybe "I’m a
women and have no problem going to ‘Hooters.’" And I could go on and on.
But do you recognize
something about all of the above "So whats!"? None of them are really
health issues.
Having a "So what" attitude about your weight is a health issue, and a life
issue, and if I were Tyra my campaign might be "It’s My Struggle, not Yours" and
not "So What!" Here’s what "So what!" about your weight might lead to:
Diabetes, heart issues, cholesterol issues, high blood pressure, higher
insurance costs, depression, and just dying before you want to.
I know there
are two things I need to do to get myself back to being a healthy person, but
for reasons not for here, not right now, I am not progressing at those two
things like I would want to. But even as I don’t do those two things have
I ever had the attitude Tyra Banks seems to want me to have about my weight,
namely "So what!", because at that point I might as well come back to another
quote I used to joke about, "I’m one with my fat self," and then maybe wonder
when being my fat self would make me have to take at least a half-dozen pills
just to stay alive.
For me I’m thinking I might have to focus a little more on
the two things I need to do to keep me alive a little longer in this world
rather than listen to the advice of "So what!" Sadly, for other people,
they will say "So what!" for a while, and then wonder why, when they are older,
they have to pop a lot of pills and say "Why me?"
Enough Tyra Banks.
Oh yea,
there’s that Olympic thing. This blog has gone on a little longer than
planned so I’ll just say this. The United States Olympic Evaluation
Commission is visiting Chicago this week to see if Chicago would be a better
place to host the 2016 Olympics as opposed to Los Angeles. Chicago is a
better place. Los Angeles already has stuff built. We get to build
new stuff. Isn’t that what the Olympics are about – New Champions, and new
stuff!
"If Chicago builds it, they will come. The World will.
Come. And Celebrate."
And if the Chicago Olympic folks want to pay me
for that slogan, I’m up for negotiations, that’s the Chicago way
"So What!" is
a crappy campaign, from Tyra Banks, but for the USOC, hey, just come, and
celebrate.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
What’s New? Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! “dirt,” Movie Talk, and A Sweet 16 Party vs Vegas.
For this podcast of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!”, The Dude on the Right gets to tell Stu Gotz about his “exciting” weekend, seeing “Black Snake Moan” and “Wild Hogs,” while Stu tells The Dude about what happened while he was in Las Vegas, and that if The Dude had spent his travel money going to Vegas instead of his niece’s birthday party, well, The Dude could have also been a part of it. The Dude on the Right now has to keep reciting “Family comes first” instead of “I could have seen boobs.”
