Thanksgiving, An Apology, and I'm Jealous of Oprah.

By: The Dude on the Right
Well, Thanksgiving is over, and there is usually at least one story from a Thanksgiving that is sort of entertaining, and I'm pretty boring at telling them, but this Podcast has a story about me, my sister, and my under the age of seventeen year old niece, going to see "Saw II."  Also is some talking about staying at the old homestead instead of a hotel, and my being jealous of Oprah, especially as her "My Favorite Things" show came around.

As always, I welcome your comments.

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

"Walk the Line," Weepy During "The Biggest Loser, " and Some News.

By: The Dude on the Right
Catching up on my television watching, I admit, and fine, call me a "puss," but I got weepy as I was watching "The Biggest Loser."  I also found a couple of interesting news articles, but for most of this podcast, I talk about the movie "Walk the Line," and brought some totally high-techness into our podcast.  I found some classic Johnny Cash music, complete with pops, clicks, and skips.  I've been a fan since I was 2 1/2, and loved the movie, but my podcast rambles a bit and forgets to talk about my re-found love for Reese Witherspoon.

The CMA's Seem to be About One Thing - Cutting Off The Winners

By: The Dude on the Right
I watched the CMA Awards last night, but in the end, figured I might have been more entertained by what was originally set to record on my TIVO, namely "The Biggest Loser," and "My Name is Earl" (thankfully I set up my VCR for some extra taping).  I thought Garth was great, although from a couple of the country bulletin boards I check into every now and then, the Garth haters are out in full force, and even though Bon Jovi is getting wailed on for being there (oh, how they forget the soundtrack to "Young Guns II") I finally figured out who Jennifer Nettles is.  But for this podcast, it's about Big and Rich who probably got the most publicity thanks to Chevy and Target, and the fact that for this year, and least for me, the CMA Awards were all about giving someone an award and cutting the winners off before they could actually thank everyone and enjoy the moment.  And until there is an apology, it will be a long time, or at least a year, until I forgive them for how they cut short Alabama's acceptance speach.

The Edmund Fitzgerald, Cheerleaders in the Bathroom, the FCC, and Chicken Little.

By: The Dude on the Right
This podcast is just a recap of some stories I found amusing and scary as last week went on.  Here's the link to the entertaining Richard Roeper article, a scary article on the FCC and their upcoming fine frenzy, I talk some about Chicken Little and The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and I wonder what happened to Nancy O'Dell's eyebrows.

The World Series and Why Can't They Just Get the Anthem Folks to Sing

By: The Dude on the Right
This is my last podcast, at least for this year until next year when it's the Chicago Cubs' turn (yea, right, like that's gonna happen), on the super-duper, most-fabulous, unbelievable, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, World Series that just went down between the Chicago White Sox and the Houston Astros.  It was a great series, except for the singing, and maybe it's just my opinion, but I don't think that the Major League Baseballs, the NBA's, the NFL's, or even the hockey folks, understand that we don't really need to have someone famous singing the National Anthem, just someone who can sing it well, or at least just enjoying it (like a kids choir), at least at the playoff/finals time.  Most singers can't sing the Anthem, and we are constantly reminded of this, during these championship games, so why can't the league folks just grab the people who can do a great job, and plug them in.  My favorite is the dude who does the Cubs' games, Wayne Messmer.  For baseball all I ask is a couple of things:  Drop the singing of "America the Beautiful" at the 7th Inning Stretch and go back to either "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" or a local favorite for the team, like the Houston fans singing "Deep in the Heart of Texas."  Let the famous person butcher these songs, at least we can have a laugh, as we, in Chicago, always laugh at Mike Ditka singing at the Cubs game.  This is almost turning into a blog rather than a podcast, but click on the podcast link and listen to it, because my favorite World Series audio is from a news broadcast after game 4.  As much as I make fun, I'd probably be doing the same, but it's pretty funny, at least for me.
