A Contest, iPhone Talk, and Hints for Beggars.
By:
The Dude on the Right
This was supposed to be
a podcast with The WGN, but he got sidetracked due to some stuff with his
main girl. With his not being able to podcast, well, I turned a portion of
this podcast into a contest, where if, after listening to the podcast, you are
the first person that I don't know who uses the comments section of this
podcast page to fill in, correctly, the blank of the portion of the saying that
is missing for this podcast, well, if you actually leave me real contact
information with your answer, and if your are the first to do so, and "Did
I mention the first person to actually comment the correct phrase wins?", well,
I'll send you a free shirt & hat. Yay for maybe you!
This podcast, though, isn't just about winning things, it's also about my loving my iPhone and "Shazam," how whistlers don't have "America Having Talent," but I do give those of you, looking to be beggers, peddlers, or hoping to base your money-making scam of "My Family Needs Gas", well, a better idea of how to make a few more bucks.
And what would a podcast be without some Pierce Brosnan singing a song from the "Mamma Mia!" soundtrack.
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Baseball, A Carnival, and Dogs.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Well
this is different. Normally the
"Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast with Stu Gotz talks a lot about movies, but,
oddly enough, this weekend had neither of us actually going to see a movie, and
both of us are tired. Yup, there's only a little "Step Brothers"' talk and
a little "The X-Files: I Want to Believe"' talk, instead my weekend started by
being spent in the old country (that's Lorain, OH, for those of you who don't
normally follow my blog or our podcasts) where I comment on how, if the
residents of Lorain shoot down a $20 fee to improve the roads, well, they
deserve to live in a ghost town, and wonder why they are going to lengthen Tower
Blvd. rather than rebuild the original Tower Blvd.
But this podcast isn't really about a town that has tons of potential but right now is just a giant speed bump, nope, a lot of this podcast is about baseball, namely seeing a Chicago White Sox game last Monday where my BFF got to meet Stu and Mama Gotz, and then yesterday where she got to meet The Dude on the Left, Trash, Slick, Boner, and Stinky, saw Stu in a slightly different light than when she met him last Monday, and her not being mortified at meeting four, slightly over-served, college buddies of mine.
Stu,
though, did get to have some family time over his weekend by attending a local
carnival where he found out one of the Little Gotz's might be a future roller
coaster enthusiast, Stu's family has a new puppy that was almost dead, and I
explain to Stu why I have fish and have never gotten a dog.
And, oh yea, this podcast also gives Stu's scientific analysis/theory of why he thinks teenage girls are being endowed with larger boobies.
Finally, we do discuss the upcoming movies of next weekend, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Swing Vote, and both agree that our significant others will probably want to see Kevin Costner as a schlub rather than see another mummy movie. The strange part - both Stu and I, also, would rather see Kevin Costner as a schlub instead of another mummy movie.
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Nakedness, Lottery, Movies, and a Noid.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Sure, normally
the "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast with me and Stu Gotz is posted on a Monday
night, but even though we recorded this episode yesterday, a trip to the Chicago
White Sox game (where the White Sox lost - bummer) got in the way of getting it
out in the internet for all to hear, although my BFF did
get to meet Stu and Mama Gotz at The Cell for the game, and that might be a topic of
conversation for next weekend's wrap-up. For this weekend wrap-up, though, I
tell Stu about my walking around naked on Saturday, thanks to my BFF getting me
some sandals to show off my "pedicured" feet, and I also tell Stu about a story
missed from the weekend before where my BFF and I won the lottery.
As is
normal for Stu and I, we do a lot of movie talk, with me discussing
"Mamma
Mia!," and both of us talking about "The Dark Knight," the Batman sequel where
Christian Bale is great as Bruce Wayne/Batman, except for his vocal affectations
when he is Batman, and the, as everyone else also professes, fantastic
portrayal that Heath Ledger gives The Joker. Stu has some issues with the
movie, I have none, but then again, Stu also got to see "Space Chimps," because,
well, Stu's got kids.
TV talk is also present in this podcast, Stu is becoming a Mac guy, and I state my case to, well, Stu, as to why I still have a "Noid," and why no one should ever underestimate the power of The Noid, and although not part of this podcast, you also shouldn't underestimate the power of an M&M dude getting a sun-tan, nor a wind-up Mr. Potato Head, nor a purple armadillo, nor a plastic chick with a big sword, nor Partying Smart, nor Normy for President, and in no way, ever, a Transformer.
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Technology Sucks, No WGN, iPhone Schematic Requests, and a Cowbell.
By:
The Dude on the Right
I recorded
tonight's podcast a few hours ago, and my intermittent internet connection
is somehow allowing me to actually post it, tonight, being on July 17th.
I'm sad because I was worried about doing this podcast with The WGN, so I told
him to go back to his normal programming for the evening, because, with my
internet issues, I was afraid of intermittent connections screwing up our Skype
connection. So, for this podcast, I'm flying solo, mostly because I haven't
easily set up swapping my cable TV internet connection for my DSL connection,
nor figured out (and hey, if you have the "iPhone" headphone stripe connection
for audio and voice schematic, I would really appreciate a copy) how to connect
my iPhone to my podcast mixing board.
As lame as this solo podcast probably is, I do reiterate my upcoming love for "Batman: The Dark Knight," and tell of my love for the music of Danny Elfman for when Jack Nicholson played The Joker rather than Heath Ledger, although I have a feeling Mr. Ledger will do a better job, in his own right, and I can't wait.
The other thing about this podcast is simply that, thanks to my iPhone, I now have a cowbell, and what better song to put it to good use than Ram Jam's "Black Betty." I love my iPhone!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! The BFF Meets the Family, Lots of TV Talk, and an iPhone Update.
By:
The Dude on the Right
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!"
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! "Hancock," Fireworks, Cars, Church, and More!
By:
The Dude on the Right
I am happy to say that both Stu Gotz and I made it through the 4th of July
weekend with all of our appendages attached, however, during
our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, Stu regales me with a story of some friends
who are sort of lucky to have done the same! But this podcast isn't all
about danger - though my going to mass over the weekend did bring thoughts of a
lightning bolt occurring on a sunny day - in any case, nope, we talk about
simpler things like the movie
"Hancock." I tell Stu of my time with my BFF which included my making
her dinner, going with her to test drive some cars (showing I don't really know
BWM models, but that doesn't matter because I preferred the VW Eos anyway), and
putting my life into her hands as we stepped through the church doors. I
also want to know where my Netflix movies disappeared to. Stu lets me know
that he liked the movie
"Nancy Drew," and gave some bombshell news about one of our friends.
And what podcast would be complete without talk about Pringles and my realizing, because I'm slow sometimes, that they aren't really potato chips.
And lastly, a shout-out to my Mom to get well soon!
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Apologies to The WGN&N, Bro-i-l, Sis, and Night Ranger. That Said, Happy 4th of July!
By:
The Dude on the Right
This podcast is about apologies and Happy 4th of July - hoping you keep all
of your appendages.
The first apology is to Night Ranger, their fans, my fans, and the fact that I obviously don't have an AMS Seal of Approval because my weather forecasting ability sucks. I didn't go to their concert at the Arlington Heights Frontier Day's Festival because I was afraid of thunder, lightning, and general storminess, although from the looks of things as it panned out, well, the weather didn't seem to end up being that bad at all by showtime, and I probably missed a great show. Hopefully I'll get to see them in Ottawa, IL, at the end of July, but at least I do have their new CD, "Hole In The Sun," to listen to. If you're a Night Ranger fan, you should go and get your copy of the CD to listen to, too.
On the second apology front, well, it looks like I'm now in the doghouse with my family, so I would like to apologize to The WGN&N (That's "The World's Greatest Niece and Nephew"), my Bro-i-l (No, that's not a way to cook, it's short for my brother-in-law), and also my Sis, but with some prejudice for her. For what it's worth, I didn't sleep much last night, not because of pissing off my sis or Bro-i-l, but the last two people I ever want to upset are The WGN&N, so to them, I am sorry.
What I won't feel sorry for is you, the reader, if over this 4th of July you blow off an appendage or two because you wanted to test the "firecracker" theory you saw in the movie "Armageddon," decide to "look inside" the launching tube of the firework that didn't go off yet, or don't impress on your kids that the reasons sparklers, well, sparkle, is because they are on fire, and that flaming part on the sparkler rod, well, it can reach about 1800 degrees F, and for comparison's sake, if you want to get yourself cremated, whether you are dead or alive, cremation takes place at about the same temperature, even a little less. If you give kids sparklers, for goodness sake, be a good parent, make sure they "sparkle" away from their bodies, and for the love of your kids, and your neighbor's kids, don't ever let them have "Sparkler Sword Fights."
Happy 4th of July. Be safe. And We'll C. U. Next Monday. That just doesn't have the ring to it like The Dude on the Left used to sign off. Oh well.
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! RV-ing, Penn & Teller, Movie Talk, Toilet Paper, and More!
By:
The Dude on the Right
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.
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
