Miley Cyrus and Mindy McCready being 15 Years Old, Roger Waters has a Pig, and Happy Birthday Theta Xi!

By: The Dude on the Right
I almost forgot this is supposed to be a "Weekend Wrap-Up" podcast during this podcast, especially since Stu Gotz isn't around to remind me, but I did remember I saw "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay" and "Baby Mama" towards the end of my 15 minutes of talking.  The thing is, with the scandal of 15 year old Miley Cyrus and her "embarrassing" pictures in Vanity Fair, and the story about Mindy McCready being involved with Roger Clemens when she was 15 years old, I couldn't help but wonder what is the deal with 15 year old girls, and I give my 2 cents worth of commentary.  There is also a story of the not 15 year old Cheri Oteri and the death of her dad which caught my eye, and at the end of the podcast I wonder why the story of Roger Waters at Coechella is a surprise since he's been releasing a giant, inflatable pig scribbled with political writing into the air at least since I saw him in 2006.  Maybe it was because we have found out that Roger is a Barack Obama fan.

I also do some singing during this podcast as tomorrow, being April 29th, holds a sort of special place in my heart as it is the 144th birthday (if I added things correctly), of my fraternity, Theta Xi.  Thankfully, back in 1864, Peter Fox, Ralph Packard, Christopher Waite, George Brainerd, Samuel Buel Jr., Henry Farnum, Thomas Raymond, and Nathaniel Starbuck decided forming a fraternity at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York would be a good thing.  This event resulted in my having a group of lifelong friends, and especially meeting The Dude on the Left with the two of us forming "The Unknown Reviewers" for beer money, which eventually developed into Entertainment Ave!, which eventually led to this podcast.  Funny how something 144 years ago influenced today.  Sadly this last paragraph should have probably been told during my podcast as my podcast tribute to Theta Xi's birthday is kind of lame, except, for, well, my singing.

Happy listening!

Movie Talk, Artie Lange Talk, End of the World Talk, "Survivor" Talk, and more Talk.

By: The Dude on the Right
It's mostly my fault that Stu isn't here for our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, but as it turns out I've got a lot to talk about.  I discuss male nudity thanks to the movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," I discuss the convergence of two Martial Arts stars thanks to "The Forbidden Kingdom," and I am happy that Artie Lange is back on The Howard Stern Show after his fake tirade, set up just to give all of us fans a cliffhanger before the Stern Show went on vacation for a week.  I'm just kidding.  I don't care what anyone says because I think the fight with Teddy Microphone was real, that it was a damn good thing Artie didn't actually hit Teddy, and why am I telling you all of this when you should be listening to the podcast?

I also think the end of the world might be near, what with an earthquake here in the Midwest and the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox now in first place (Come on Cleveland Indians, get your act together!), and thought Ozzie getting booted from "Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites" might have been the best tribal council ever last week.

See, I told you I have a lot to talk about.

Happy listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Golf, Movies, Religion and More!

By: The Dude on the Right
Here comes the Pope, here comes the Pope!  Actually here comes another podcast of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!," but I thought I would welcome Pope Benedict to these United States, and for whatever reason, Stu Gotz found it necessary to bring up religion for this podcast.  He also brings up the fact that Grandma Gotz and Mama Gotz, and for that fact himself, are sometimes on different wavelengths in raising the little Gotz's, and it oddly enough relates to "Scooby Doo" and "SpongeBob SquarePants" (Did you know he lives in a pineapple under the sea, and Stu, I hate to toss you to the wolves, or at least Mama Gotz, but did you realize the absorbent and yellow and porous one is rated TV-Y7?) which all came to a head this Sunday with the little Gotz's singing a song and being afraid of monsters.

Not having kids I didn't have the difficulties Stu encountered over the weekend, mostly because I was watching Tiger Woods not be able to sink a put to save his life and lose The Masters, am still backed up on my watching "Battlestar Galactica" because my TiVo decided it wanted to watch Skinemax instead, but we both talk about a lot of movies, namely "Prom Night," "Smart People" (which, the more I think about it, I over-rated it for my written review), "Enchanted," and "The Kingdom."  We also talk a bit about TV, and my recommendation for watching the finale of "The Biggest Loser: Couples,"

At least we don't talk about politics.

Happy listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Prairie Fires, Movies, Dieting, and Poop.

By: The Dude on the Right
With the weather breaking Stu Gotz and I did what we do best when the weather is nice - see a lot of movies.  So, for this podcast Stu gives his take on "Run, Fatboy, Run" and his Netflixed movie "License to Wed."  Meanwhile, I tell Stu what is wrong with "Leatherheads," and the fact that I liked "Nim's Island."

I did get out to enjoy nature, or at least a prairie fire, and while I was grilling a great steak, Stu tells me that Mama Gotz was on a diet that actually caused her waistline to grow.  Either that, or she should have pooped first before measuring that waistline.

And, oh yea, we talk some "South Park" where Stu can't understand the making fun of Canada.

Happy listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! The Dude's a Handyman and Stu's Bad Days.

By: The Dude on the Right
Easter weekend has come and gone, but Stu Gotz and I are still here and podcasting.  Aren't you excited?  Well you should be because during this podcast I relate how during the weekend I found I can still shovel snow and am still a handyman (much to the surprise of my sister), while Stu, and I, I suppose, forgot that stores are closed on Easter Sunday, much to the dismay of the little Gotz's.

In the meantime I relate to Stu my inability to pick the NCAA March Madness Final Four, why quitting the TV show "Survivor" is lame, while we both discuss "South Park" blowing off the top half of Britney Spears' head and no one going to see "Drillbit Taylor" yet still seeing "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who."  Stu, meanwhile, has been having a bad day because he had to poop, learning a valuable lesson.  Listen to make sure you learn the lesson, too.

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Stay Awake on a Plane, Horton, DVD's, and Child Rearing.

By: The Dude on the Right
I give Stu Gotz a live listen to how I might want to start our podcasts, but with him being here for our "Stu & The Dude Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, he just thinks it might make you not listen because who wants to hear a reason why I don't fall asleep on an airplane.  The new opening is inspired by a web site called "Wallstrip," but after telling Stu another reason I don't sleep on airplanes, and Stu telling how he can't not help but sleep on an airplane, we get into the heart of the podcast with both of our takes on "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!"  Movie time discussion then turns into raising and disciplining children, and I tell Stu about my DVD Sunday because Stu's weekend was pretty boring.

For what it's worth, by the time you read this synopsis, Erin Go Bra-less, and if there isn't another podcast before this weekend, and you are a Christian, Happy Easter!  If not, I hope you can at least save some money during the Easter Weekend sales.

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! "10,000 B.C.", DST, Stu's Netfilx Movies, Killing a Hawk, Some Politics, Arena Football, and More!

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz tried to blame me for our not getting together last week, but never fear, we set our differences aside for a new podcast of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!", and what better way to kick of the episode than my telling Stu about "10,000 B.C."  Stu doesn't get to the movies that often, but he does use his Netflix queue diligently, and let me know about the movie "Next" starring Nicolas Cage, while we both recall "Live Free or Die Hard."

Stu wasn't the only one to watch a DVD this weekend, because after discussing both of our not liking the change to Daylight Saving Time anymore, I tried to compensate by watching "Spiral," which I briefly tell Stu a little bit about ahead of my full review this week.  Stu wonders what the consequences will be for a pro golfer who killed a hawk, we actually talk some politics, Stu went to a Chicago Rush game while I reminisced seeing one of the first ArenaBowls (I thought it was #1, but Wikipedia says it was #2), and what would a Stu & The Dude podcast be without some talk about boobs.

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Oscar Talk, Who's Jimmy Kimmel "F"-n, and Stu Won't Shut Up.

By: The Dude on the Right
For this blue (and I'm not talking sad, I'm talking bad language) episode of our "Weekend Wrap-Up Podcast!" Stu Gotz just doesn't want to shut up (nor keep it clean), not that there's anything wrong with that.  What it does do, though, is lend this to a podcast of topics just about everywhere and anywhere.

We give our wrap-up of "The Academy Award" broadcast, how some missed out on the coveted Oscar, and both Stu and I thought it was really cool that they let Marketa Irglova come back out and give her speech for winning the best song Oscar for "Falling Slowly" from the film "Once" after the band cued her and Glen Hansard off the stage after Glen spoke.  We also discuss fashion, which is scary, and found it funny that John Stewart slammed "Norbit" even though it was up for an Academy Award.

Stu saw a couple of movies over his weekend, one via his Netflix, namely "The Ex," the other without Mama Gotz, namely "Be Kind, Rewind," and lets me know what he thought of them, while I tell Stu about the joys of buying a meat slicer.  There's also talk of the return of "Saturday Night Live" with a fake commercial called "Annuale" that Stu said nearly had Mama Gotz fall out of bed (we both found it very funny), and I have to admit I was wrong because it was Fred Armisen who was doing the Barack Obama impression during the opening, not someone new, although I still think Darrell Hammond doing Jesse Jackson doing Barack Obama would be better.

I did hip Stu to the fact that Jimmy Kimmel has figured out how to get back at Sarah Silverman, namely because Jimmy Kimmel is fucking Ben Affleck, and we find that Jimmy has the star power Sarah only wishes she had.  Stu also wants us to start a porn site because that's where the real money is, only I have trouble with the domain name he wants to buy.  Finally, since Stu still can't stop talking, he now hates Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel because Jim woke the Gotz family up at three in the morning just to tell him about an upcoming Winter Storm Warning and not a tornado.

Thanks for listening!  And Mom, get well soon!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! At the Movies, Watching the Grammy's, A Song Not for The Grammy's, and The Dude isn't a Pimp.

By: The Dude on the Right
Maybe it took the bone-chilling cold, or maybe the threat of snow, or just the never-ending winter, but whatever the reason Stu Gotz and I were able to get back together for a new episode of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcast. First off, I won’t apologize for offending anyone with some of our content for this podcast because it is labeled “Mature,” but Stu is pissed at the ongoing writer’s strike and he can’t take it anymore. Meanwhile I give some quick Grammy Award talk followed by spotlighting a song by Riskay – The Drama Queen, which most likely has no shot in hell at winning a Grammy Award. And no, I’m not a pimp.

But as is usually the case with our weekend wrap-up we also talk about movies. Stu mentions his seeing the movie “Atonement” in the theater and catching “The Nanny Diaries” via his Netflix queue, while I get to break the news to him that the Paris Hilton movie “The Hottie & The Nottie” didn’t do too well at the theaters, but I did see “Fool’s Gold” and “Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show….” We also discuss “The Spiderwick Chronicles” because Stu’s kids want to see the flick. It is rated PG, but Stu wonders just how kid-friendly it is especially after his disaster in letting his kids see “Zathura.”

Here's for hope and thanks for listening!

An Apology, Movie Talk, Some New TV and MTV, but No Stu.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz and I couldn’t get our schedules to meet today so I’m flying solo for this weekend wrap-up podcast. Starting off I do some apologizing to my mom and anyone else who might have read the early version of yesterday’s blog where my writing got a little blue, and not blue as in being sad. Personally I was grumpy, and I probably should have just written about my grumpidom, but instead the f-bomb and s-bomb showed up. Oh well. There’s also a little bit of analysis on my movie viewing over the weekend, namely seeing “Rambo” and “Meet the Spartans,” but a lot of this podcast deals with TV stuff, and maybe it’s finally time for MTV to change its name, maybe to something like ANTMMTV (America’s Next Top Model Marathon TV). You know, thinking about it as I type this, maybe MTV is appropriate, but instead of Music Television maybe it’s time for them to rebrand it to Marathon Television. I wish I had thought of that as I was recording this podcast. C’est la vie!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Lots of Movies, Mama Gotz's Issues, A New Ringtone, and Peeing on a Stick.

By: The Dude on the Right
After my being away for a week for some sadness, Stu Gotz and I are back together for some happiness, and what better way to be happy than with a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. My return to normalcy has been all about movies so I tell Stu about "Cloverfield," "27 Dresses," "Jimmy and Judy," and my attempt to keep my niece innocent and wholesome by taking her to see "The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything." But while I was attempting to promote wholesomeness it seems Stu got a provocative photo from Mama Gotz, and he also describes a commercial he saw about a pregnancy test.

We also talk some football during the podcast, what with the upcoming Super Bowl and all, and I also let Stu know what I’ve changed my ringtone to for him (it’s also the new ringtone for my nephew and sister). And, oh yea, Stu wants you to watch "psych" on the USA Network, and I still don't know why.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Movies & TV, Britney & Lindsay, Weather & Delilah.

By: The Dude on the Right
Man, those holidays on a Tuesday really screwed with our “Stu & The Dude Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcasts, but thankfully tomorrow is just January 8th so Stu and I got together to reflect on weeks gone by, or at least to talk about last weekend. Movies were a big topic of conversation as I told him about “One Missed Call,” while Stu’s Netflix cue was working overtime. And as much as movies are important, Stu and I have different views on Dr. Phil’s intrusion into the latest BUI episode (that would be Britney Under the Influence for those of you who don’t read our sister site, mostlyentertainment.com), and why not talk about Lindsay Lohan if you’re talking about Britney?

Stu’s looking forward to a lot of TV shows returning on cable, I school him on "American Gladiators," and I still like my concept for The Golden Globe Awards, but the weather in Chicagoland is still a warm topic, and as much as I hate Delilah I’m also starting to hate Stu’s obsessing about my hating Delilah.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! They Both See Movies, The Dude has a Cold, and Stu's Getting Old.

By: The Dude on the Right
Even though I’m sporting a head cold, and Stu Gotz just got over one (go ahead, make your own conclusions), we stuck it out and got together for another episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast.  Both us saw "I Am Legend" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks," so of course we dissect them. We also talk a bit about the death of Dan Fogelberg, and I was correct, he died from prostate cancer and not skin cancer which is what Stu thought. I also hip Stu to the latest doings of Mr. Chocolate Rain, Tay Zonday, while Stu wonders what movies are coming out over the Christmas holiday (I tell him, of course).

There are a few more tidbits during our podcast, so I don’t want to spoil them here, but let’s just say I’m not buying the fact that Stu injured his right hand and arm doing real work, but rather doing something right-handed dudes are likely to do with their hand and arm.

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! "The Golden Compass" Analysis, Weather Woes, and More Movie Talk.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz and I brave the ice and snow to get together, but it will take a lot more than Stu falling on his ass to stop us from doing our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast.  Both of our weekends were filled with seeing "The Golden Compass" with both of us not really liking it.  Our analysis is one for the Hollywood books!  And as we discuss a current film, we also talk a bit about the upcoming "I Am Legend" movie, which I couldn't remember is based on a book from the 1950's and a couple of films, namely "The Last Man on Earth" and "The Omega Man," and as much as Stu might want to add those movies to his Netflix queue, it seems Mama Gotz has taken over the Gotz Netfilx selections, unless, well, Stu has a thing for Marie Antoinette.

Sure, we talk a lot about movies, but we also discuss some football, including the streaks of the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins, some TV with Mama Gotz's solution to the writer's strike, and how Stu has no taste in music anymore, possibly costing me some concert clearance.

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! A Weekend with Friends, Sports, and TV.

By: The Dude on the Right
Both Stu Gotz and I survived a weekend of seeing old friends, although for this episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, well, I’m feeling blue about the latest Chicago Bears’ loss while Stu just lets his talk lean to the blue side. Podcasts like this are why sometimes I wish I had never gotten my Mom a computer so she couldn’t listen. Don’t blame me, Mom – it’s Stu!

So we reminisce about a weekend of seeing old friends, some new bars, and Whammy’s sex life, but we also talk some about a Jennifer Love Hewitt controversy and Stu’s liking her curvy body and boobies, how I think James, whom I originally wanted so much to win the latest "Survivor,"  is an idiot even if he could bury me, and yes, "American Gladiators" is returning for your TV viewing pleasure - thank you writer's strike!  And me, I fill Stu in on how I humor myself in my mind, this time because of smelly perfume and smelly soap.

This week is a little more normal so I should also have a new, solo, podcast this Thursday, but for now we just have a podcast showing why we probably will never get a show on terrestrial radio even though Don Imus is still there.  Maybe Stu and I are too edgy for terrestrial radio anyway?  Maybe Howard Stern could use a new radio show on Channel 101?  Maybe I'm still just humoring myself in my head?  And no, Mom, I never slept with a hooker in Las Vegas.

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend (and Thanksgiving) Wrap-Up! The Dude Calls 911 Twice, Stu Sees Movies and a Parade.

By: The Dude on the Right
No one should have to get good at it, but my Thanksgiving weekend honed my skills at dialing 911, which I briefly explain why to Stu Gotz during our "Weekend (and Thanksgiving) Wrap-Up!"  I did get to see "March of the Penguins" complete with 40 minutes worth of commercials, but Mom laughed at some of my jokes during the movie so it was okay.

Stu, though, had a hugely busy Turkey Day weekend filling me on his seeing "Enchanted" and "August Rush" on the big screen, seeing "The Guardian" on the small screen, and taking the Gotz family to see the Chicago Thanksgiving Day Parade from the comfort of a hotel room.  Stu can be very ingenious at times.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Tig old Bitties, Mots of Lovies, and Gama Motz!

By: The Dude on the Right
It's a Monday, it's another podcast of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!", and we've got a special guest, namely Mama Gotz, and this time she is more talkative, as opposed to the last time she was a special guest.  Maybe it's because this time we have so much to talk about.

First we talk about "Tig old Bitties," which seemed to be a way the TV show "30 Rock" found to get around the FCC censors, and Stu gets into a huge rant about the TV writer's strike and its affecting his favorite shows.  I try to calm Stu down so eventually all of us discuss our movie going weekends, including "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium," "No Country for Old Men," and "Beowulf."  Stu wanted to make fun of me for missing Garth Brooks at the movies while I tell him it's probably a good thing I lost my ticket, but I do hip Stu to my seeing "Shaw/Blades," even with my valet disaster.

Thanksgiving is also upon us all, so from all of us to all of you, Happy Turkey-Day!

By: The Dude on the Right
Again, finally.  Stu and I have been able to connect again, finally to do a podcast.  Again, finally.  As much fun as it is doing a podcast alone, it is so much funner to do them with someone, and for this episode of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!" we've got a lot to talk about, and it's not even about when Stu was away.

Nope, our weekends were action-packed, with both of us seeing Fred Claus and giving our takes on it, and I hip Stu into many things football, especially the Chicago Bears new quarterback controversy and the Ohio State Buckeye's implosion.  Stu tells me that I was right about printer cartridges, and I was at a 60th birthday party.  We also talk some about my seeing an upcoming Garth Brooks' concert, Stu has a lot of scuba talk, and intermixed in all of that is even more, like both of us digging Natalie Portman!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! The Bears Blow Up, Stu saw Movies, The Dude and a Wheel, and a Bachelor Meltdown.

By: The Dude on the Right
Thank God it's a Monday and Stu Gotz is here for our "Stu & The Dude Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast because I'm a little distraught that I wasted a Sunday afternoon watching the Chicago Bears. I was also able to get a lot of things off of my chest, like feeling bad for the people who dumped their loved-ones ashes along the vines at Wrigley Field, and my not getting picked to go on stage for the "Wheel of Fortune" auditions. Back to Wrigley Field, Stu and Mama Gotz had an idea for making some money for a charity via sod, with Stu boasting about his heritage brothers, and Stu also saw a couple of movies, "Smokin' Aces" and "Employee of the Month," thanks to cable and his Netflix queue, but couldn't understand a dude he observed while he just wanted some breakfast. Lastly, I give Stu a listen as to why last week's "The Bachelor" might have been the greatest episode ever.

So much to talk about in under twenty minute.  Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! The Dude does Movies, Stu does Jewel, The Dude Walks, and Stu MySims.

By: The Dude on the Right
The fall weather finally seems to be upon us here in Chicagoland today, but the weekend was anything like fall.  I’m surprised Stu Gotz was able to make it, but here we both are for our Weekend Wrap-Up Podcast!  Me, I did catch a couple of movies, namely “The Comebacks” and “Rendition,” so I give Stu my take on them, while Mama Gotz took Stu to see Jewel who still hasn’t sent Stu some of her underwear.  We also talk some sports especially since the loss by the Cleveland Indians left me in mourning, but talking with Stu about the Chicago Bears win got me to afternoon.

As far as the enjoying the weather part I at least got out to enjoy it with a couple of walks, while Stu missed it although he did walkthrough his MySims game.

I also tell Stu about my dream to be on "Wheel of Fortune," and since they are having auditions in Chicago this weekend, I'm thinking of giving it my shot as the "Wheelmobile" visits nearby for an upcoming Chicago taping.  Sure, the website says over a million people tried out with only 600 getting on the show last year, leaving my chances at actually making it all the way to the show at something like a whopping .06%, but hey, what else would I have to do on a Saturday afternoon other than see "Saw IV?"

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! The Cubs are Gone, The Bears are Back, "Balls of Fury" is Done, and Stu is "Sim"ed.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz was so anxious to get things started for our weekend wrap-up podcast that he talks over our intro music, but that's okay because we both have so much to talk about. Stu got the privilege of attending the last Chicago Cubs game of the season and witness the culmination of the last 99 years of Cub history. Me, I had a chance to go to the game but opted out to feverishly finish our "Stu & The Dude Reviewin' the Movies for You!" episode of "Balls of Fury" before it's totally out of theaters.

With the Cubs done with their season I also fill Stu in on the Chicago Bears and how they are turning their season around and now are destined for the Super Bowl. We also discuss The Chicago Marathon, especially since neither of us had any delusions of running in it, even without the high temperatures of the day. Stu, meanwhile, has become an addict and might need an intervention soon. Nope it's not alcohol and it's not drugs - his lawn still needs mowing because he's becoming addicted to the MySims for his Nintendo Wii.

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! "The Big Bang Theory" and More TV, The Cubs and More Sports, and eBay Dummies.

By: The Dude on the Right
On a dreary Monday, after a Chicago Bears' loss, nothing brings joy to my heart like chatting with Stu Gotz about our weekends for our podcast. Thank God Stu was around to actually participate, so we chat a lot about new TV, especially "The Big Bang Theory," a little about "Chuck," Stu got weepy at Flower’s death on "Meerkat Manor," and I’m getting sucked into "The Bachelor" again.

On the movie front I regale Stu with my tales of seeing "The Kingdom," while he gives his breakdown of his Netflix viewing of "The Darwin Awards." It also being the Monday after a Bears' game we also talk some sports, especially since the Chicago Cubs won their Division and are in the playoffs. Stu also gets worked up a lot, especially about a stupid eBay bidder and helping an elder with a computer, so he drops a few F-Bombs here and there, but just feel lucky that you didn't get to see him scratch his balls.

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! A Family Outing, Watching Movies, Chicago Sports, and Breaking in Shoes.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz is back from his cruising the highways and byways of these United States with the Gotz family, in his tenement on wheels, and rejoins me for this week's Weekend Wrap-Up Podcast! Stu talks a tad about his trip and his seeing "Invincible" and "Shooter," while I tell Stu to stay away from "Good Luck Chuck," even though it has tons of what Stu likes to see, namely boobs. We also breakdown, well, I breakdown The Chicago Bears loss to the Dallas Cowboys yesterday, and hope the Chicago Cubs can hang on and not have the worst collapse, or at least one of them, in baseball history. Stu also tells me the proper way to break in new running shoes, or at least his way, sadly two days too late for the back of my heels, and we are both excited about the new TV season starting, especially the return of "Heroes," but were disappointed in the Christian lady who bolted from the "Welcome to Our Land" ceremony on last week's "Survivor."

Thanks for listening.

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

O.J. Simpson, The Bears, The Browns, Mr. Woodcock, Once, The Emmy's, and No Stu.

By: The Dude on the Right
It's a Monday which would normally mean it's a Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Podcast, but sadly Stu Gotz is traveling in his RV, or as he calls it his "Tenement on Wheels," with Mama Gotz, the two little Gotz's, and the two dog Gotz's.  Lucky him!  In any case, that leaves me flying solo for this podcast which had more things happening over the weekend than I can fully discuss in about fifteen minutes, but I give it a try.

I've got football talk about the Chicago Bears and the Cleveland Browns;  I've got talk about O.J. Simpson being arrested in Las Vegas;  I've got talk about the movies I saw over the weekend, namely "Mr. Woodcock" and "Once"; And we find out that you might not be able to say "Goddamn," "Screwing," or mouth the word "Shit" on broadcast TV anymore.  We found that out during the Emmy Awards last night, and also found out having an award show "In-The-Round" probably isn't a good idea.  I just can't believe the Fox folks censored Frog from "Smokey and The Bandit."  Welcome to "We really aren't sure what we can broadcast anymore" TV.

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Britney's Mom-Ass, "Shoot 'Em Up" Talk, and Smelly Coffee.

By: The Dude on the Right
Sneezing is a part of allergies sometimes, and Stu's nose is all full of allergy, but he's muddling through it for this podcast of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!" Stu's weekend wasn't that exciting, just finishing up his basement cleaning and being amazed at the olfactory senses that his son possesses. Me, I regale Stu with my seeing "Shoot 'Em Up," but for the most part both of us caught Britney Spears on the MTV Video Music Awards so, much like everyone else broadcasting today, we give our take. Stu totally recognizes Ms. Spears' mom-ass, and I almost feel sorry for her. Sometimes I can be sympathetic, but I will say that the entire VMA package was a complete train wreck.  Even so, it's a good thing the VMA's were on because I really didn't want to talk about watching the Chicago Bears nor the Chicago Cubs respective losses, which I also viewed over the weekend.

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Stu is Leaking at Both Ends and The Dude Walks 10 Miles.

By: The Dude on the Right
Well, Labor Day Weekend has come and gone so what better way to see if our lives are exciting than by doing a weekend wrap-up podcast!  Stu, sadly, was waylaid by a lot of things leaking, some of them human, and one structural.  The leaking did allow him to catch up on some TV watching, including the movie "Idiocracy" on cable, and think about re-doing the Gotz basement.  He also let the Gotz boys get a good sugar buzz at a Chicago Cubs game, and even though the Cubs lost, the Gotz family didn't think it was cool for the fans to boo Carlos Zambrano.

Myself, I started my extended weekend with a viewing of "Balls of Fury" with Stu, and continued by seeing the Chicago Cubs win.  I also caught the movie "Halloween," cleaned the dude-pad, and maybe more importantly, walked ten miles.  No, not all in one day.  Now if I could only follow my eating plan I would probably lose weight.  Oh well.

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! "Mr. Bean's Holiday," Stu Saw "Superbad," & The Dude Left His Pad.

By: The Dude on the Right
Sometimes I wonder how we fit it all in, but Stu Gotz is here for another weekend wrap-up podcast so let's get to the summary before your listening pleasure.

For this podcast the both of us saw "Mr. Bean's Holiday."  Stu's perspective is a little different since he has kids, but we both liked the ending.  Stu finally got to see "Superbad," and although Mama Gotz probably won't admit it, Stu says she sure laughed a lot and agrees that if we were best friends in high school, that yes, he would be Seth and I would be Evan.  I question Stu about door etiquette, especially since I ventured out of The Dude Pad to interact with the outside world, and I also hoped for a bike accident while I went for a walk.  I also tell Stu why I think Michael Jackson might actually be a good parent, thanks to seeing "Rescue Me," and Stu mentions The Gotz's Sunday Family Ritual, as well as his grass cutting woes.

But as summer is coming to a close that only means one thing:  The Fall TV season is almost upon us.  Shows like "My Name is Earl," "The Office," "The Biggest Loser," and "Survivor: China" are on their way, I have to prep my TiVo Season Passes, and Stu would like some help with his TiVo to see if he can really transfer shows to his laptop.  Since I'll be back to watching TV again, we'll have even more to discuss in the fall.

See, I told you we talk about a lot of stuff!

Thanks for listening.
