The Best Singer on the "American Idol" Finale Didn't Win, and Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
By:
The Dude on the Right
So, yes, I wasted two hours and five minutes of my life watching an over-bloated
finale of "American Idol," and even though I recapped it yesterday
in my blog,
for this podcast I've got some audio! Yup, product placement was all
over the place, the Idol people had two hours to tell us who was this year's
"American Idol," but if Ryan Seacrest had held the suspense about 30 more
seconds, well, millions of TiVo viewers would have been (or at least me),
cursing hell and high-water because the TiVo broadcast would have ended with
"This year's 'American Idol' is David.... bing '(Would you like to
delete this recording?)'". At least, thank God, they gave us the return of
Renaldo Lapuz, singing "We're Brothers Forever," or "I Am Your Brother," or I
don't care, because he was great, especially with the USC Marching Band, and I
can't help but sing along! David Archuleta fans, I am so sorry, but David
Cook fans, well, one last "Hooray!!!!"
It is, though, the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend, I almost came close to cancelling my cable TV service, and hopefully the only TV show I'll get sucked into this summer will be "The Bachelorette!"
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

I Could Have Won $0.40, or even Millions, I've Got Too Much Stuff, and Here Comes Indiana Jones!
By:
The Dude on the Right
Boo hoo! I'm flying solo for this
"Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, and even though I could try to blame Stu, I've
really only got myself to blame. But that's okay, because this upcoming
week brings the finale of "American Idol," which I'm predicting might have
the weakest ratings for any Idol final because do we really care if David or
David, as in Cook or Archuleta, wins? That said, this is a podcast about
my weekend, so my weekend brought about a chance, that I didn't take, to make a
couple of million bucks (Sure, I would have needed about $10,000,000 to do it,
but hey?), a movie I didn't care for (Maybe I should have
seen the first "Chronicles of Narnia," well, first?), and a revelation that
I have too much stuff (Do you want a Chicago Suburban Area phone book from 1995,
a movie idea on a 3 1/2" floppy, a "Southern Comfort" flag, or a hand-held,
black & white scanner?). It might be time to rent a dumpster.
And, oh yea, here comes Indiana Jones, a crystal skull, and maybe some aliens!

Shania Twain is Unattached, Starbucks Almost has Nudity, David Will Win American Idol, and a Tease for Monday.
By:
The Dude on the Right
So I sometimes steal story ideas from other radio people, and while I usually
try to give some credit where I heard something,
for the start of my podcast, well, this story is all mine. You see, I
suppose that if I am going to woo Shania Twain now that it has been announced
she is splitting from her hubby, Mutt Lange, I might have to actually get a
passport, what with her being from Canada and now living in Switzerland, and
all. But as much as that process of getting a passport is in the works, I
heard on "The Roe Conn Show"
here in Chicago, and no, Christina Filiaggi still isn't back on the air there as
of my typing this, that Starbucks is a detriment to society now that it is
bringing the naked mermaid back to its cups of coffee as a logo. I'm just
pissed that I didn't think of trying to organize a boycott, therefore getting
the publicity that some resistance group is getting.
I am still sad that Amanda didn't win "Survivor: Fans v. Favorites," I do know that David will win "American Idol," and yea, I know that's a bad joke that I stole that from a whole ton of places, and the Spring TV season is coming to a close. Boo hoo. But I also tease some earlier audio I first heard on "The Howard Stern Show," leading to more audio for Stu Gotz and me when we hopefully meet on Monday!
And this podcast also has a couple of shout-out "Happy Birthday" wishes!
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! "Speed Racer," The Dude Leaves his Bunker, and Baseball Nuts.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz and I finally got back together for an actual
"Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, and with our being separated for so long we end
up with a lot to talk about, and actually it's only about this past weekend!
Stu gives his synopsis of "Speed Racer," actually saying that even though it is rated PG, well, it's probably not that great a kid movie, and since I didn't see a movie on Saturday I had to inform Stu as to what my diversion was, namely I left my computer bunker and had a great time visiting a classmate from years gone by. Stu, of course, goes "blue" about my nice day, and then goes more "blue" talking about his trip to see the Chicago Cubs with the little Gotz's (thankfully he, nor Mama Gotz, didn't let loose in front of their kids).
I also give Stu my analysis that Amanda Kimmel should have been the winner on "Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites," but instead Pavarotti, I mean, Parvati Shallow, actually won the million bucks, Stu saw some British film I didn't care about, movie season is coming into full bloom, and in the middle of this podcast there is so much more!

So, Like, It's Like Idol, Survivor, TV, and Like, So, Girls Just Want to Have Fun!
By:
The Dude on the Right
The spring TV season is starting to come to a close, but not, like, so, I talk
about, like,
during this podcast, like, this dudette who, so, well, like, she likes to
talk with, like, the word like "like, and so, well, so, she also likes to like
talk with the word "so." But back to that TV season.
"Survivor: Fans v. Favs" is quickly coming to a close, with the finale being this Sunday, on Mother's Day (hope you already sent your card), and "American Idol," like, well, thank God, Jason Castro is gone because, like, I didn't like him that much. I so don't like David Cook that much either, but I am so in the Syesha camp.
I also did get a chance to see the DVD of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," (with a full DVD review coming soon) where if you want to see what Sarah Jessica Parker looked like when she was 19ish, what Helen Hunt looked like when she was 21ish, and what Shannen Doherty looked like when she was 14ish, this is the rental for you. Also, if you are a mom from who was a teen in the 80's, and you want to torment your daughter, rent this DVD.
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Happy Birthday to Me!, Vote for Syesha, Jason was Dumber, and Here Comes "Iron Man!"
By:
The Dude on the Right
As I quickly approach year 41 in my life, yet still act like I'm about 22, I
sing myself
"Happy Birthday" during this podcast because right now I have no birthday
plans. But that's okay, because now that I'm going to be out of my 40's,
well, happy days are here again! In anticipation of my birthday, though,
and having to renew my driver's license, I got a haircut by one of the most
entertaining of people today, she who blamed her "sounding like she was stoned"
on a hoarse throat from a previous cold, as opposed to sounding, well, like she
was stoned because, well, she was a stoner dudette.
But stoner haircutting dudette aside, I try my best not to make fun of Paula Abdul's blunders during the recent "American Idol" and now throw all of my support to Syesha because do we really want to see a final three of all dudes? And if "American Idol" wasn't goofy enough, how about maybe the dumbest contestant in "Survivor" history, that being Jason who, after witnessing Ozzie be too cocky to play the immunity idol and getting blindsided, the dude actually trusted the dudettes not to vote him out, so alas, he didn't play the immunity idol he found and got blindsided. I would like to think I wouldn't be that stupid if I were on "Survivor," but I'm more confused as to what family member or friend I would beckon to visit me on some remote island, this being "family reunion" week for "Survivor."
None of that matters, though, because the coming of my birthday generally signifies fantastic movies, and for the past many years it has meant a "Spider-Man" flick. This year has "Iron Man" opening up, which I almost think I am looking more forward too than the Spidey flicks. Dudettes, you are lucky, though, because if you don't want to see a superhero you can at least go see Dr. McDreamy in "Made of Honor." In maybe ruining my birthday weekend, I'll probably see that movie as well.
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Lee Elia Rants, Carly Smithson is Booted, and RIP Kenneth Keith Kallenbach.
By:
The Dude on the Right
In Chicago Cubs' lore there are many things that tickle the fancy of Cubs'
historians, but as the 25th anniversary of Lee Elia going ballistic approaches,
I give a salute
during this podcast to the fact that 15% of those without jobs pissed off
Lee just enough so that he gave us some of the sweetest audio ever. A word
of warning, though, because my salute is uncensored, with no bleeping, with all
of the f-bombs in full glory. And as much as Lee was a master of words, it
seems Carly Smithson wasn't the master of music because she got booted from
"American Idol," and I have to say I'm not that sorry to see her go. What
is exciting me, though, is that next week we get to see five people butcher Neil
Diamond songs, while I'm just hoping that he actually tries to teach some of
these people to be performers.
TV is back in full bloom and "Lost" returns, again, Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay this weekend, and I actually have a Kenneth Keith Kallenbach story, he a wack-pack member of The Howard Stern Show. R.I.P. Dude who could blow smoke out of your eyes.

Kristy, Priscilla, and a Cougar are Gone. But Not Google.
By:
The Dude on the Right
As it turns out
it's a sad day for the podcast, and so I vent about it. I vent about
my sadness in seeing Kristy Lee Cook getting booted from "American Idol"
because, well, she was the best looking of the remaining contestants in my eyes,
and she was one of the few of them actually listening to the judge's comments,
seeming to take them to heart, and trying to really make herself better. I
also vent not so much about any sadness that Priscilla Presley is gone from
"Dancing With the Stars," but I'm still devastated that Adam Carolla got booted
because that also meant buh-bye to Julianne Hough. I'm also sad, but yet
sort of happy, a cougar, got killed in Chicago, but I'm also sad that on
Google's announcement that it did well during the first quarter this year, it
just reminds me that I should have spent all of my parent's money in getting a
college education back in the late 1980's on a little company called Microsoft.
Sadly, I guess, had I done that, there would be no Entertainment Ave!, but then
again, I'd have about $50 million dollars worth of not having an Entertainment
Ave!

Artie Lange, Tiger Woods, and Paula Abdul. How About That Mix?
By:
The Dude on the Right
Just in time for a vacation hiatus for The Howard Stern Show, Artie Lange has a
meltdown, resigns, quits, and may or may not be going to Amsterdam, because of
many reasons people are surmising/assuming (even myself) especially since there
are no real updates, anywhere, and not ever here,
during this podcast, though I do talk about it. There will probably
never be another day when "Artie Lange" and the "Stern Fan Network" share the #1
and #2 position on Google Trends, especially when Tiger Woods and The Masters
would normally be the Google interest of the day.
So even though I wonder, during the podcast, if Artie will come back to the show, wonder if Tiger Woods can win The Masters and the Grand Slam of golf, I also report that during my extensive studying of my TiVo'd episode of "American Idol" from Tuesday, there does not appear to be a nip-slip by Kristy Lee Cook. And trust me, I studied that area as extensively as I could once I heard the rumor. We've also got this week's inclusion of "Paula Abdul Clips of the Week," where if anyone was close to a nip-slip during Tuesday's "Idol," it was Paula, but no, that didn't happen either, as I studied her as well.
