So Stu Gotz calls me and says, "Dude, I can’t meet you at my place, so let’s do
our
‘Weekend Wrap-Up!’ podcast at the Starbucks in Bolingbrook, IL." I
should have known better, because I’ve met Stu at that coffee shop before, and
the music is always WAY loud, but rather than doing another solo podcast, oh, I
thought, "What the hell? Let’s give it a try!" At least we get
background music.
But loud, Starbucks’ music aside, our podcast deals with
talk of rain, because here in the Midwest we got tons of rain. Sure, it
wasn’t as much rain as those folks in Texas, with Hurricane Ike making landfall
over the weekend and my sister almost getting thrown out into the storm (a topic
for a future podcast with The W.G.N.), but one must wonder if God, or maybe the
Devil, or who is Mother Nature anyway, might be pissed at us, and I think those
people who "stuck it out" in Galveston should be left to fend for themselves.
Sure, that’s a segue into some religion talk, but with the rain, both of our
weekends dealt with some movies having Stu catch "3:10 To Yuma" via his Netflix
queue, and my seeing "Burn After Reading" at the theater and "I Want Someone to
Eat Cheese" thanks to my Netflix queue, both with my BFF. Stu is freaked
by a "Joe’s Crab Shack" commercial, I got to see Carlos Zambrano pitch a
no-hitter, and Stu is excited about his cable TV shows finishing up while I have
TiVo setting up to do as "The Biggest Loser," "Heroes," "Chuck," and nearly
every other show I love to watch on TV starts up in the next couple of weeks.
And we both thought
Tina Fey was great as Sarah Palin, yet Michael Phelps, not so great as most
of anything (except
his "diet" skit) on Saturday Night Live this past weekend.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
