Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Relaxing for the 4th, Airport Travel, Beach Tales, and the Chicago Cubs

By: The Dude on the Right
While I was seeing most of a Chicago Cubs game, Stu Gotz was in Florida getting sunburned, so for this “Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcast we discuss our time apart, me in The Windy City and him in The Sunshine State. With his airport travels, Stu had some interesting stories to tell about idiot travelers and watching “Psyche” on the plane, while, even though I might be getting to old to hang in the bleachers at Wrigley Field, there is usually something more entertaining than the baseball game, and last Friday’s game was no different with “Mr. Popularity.”

As weekends go, Florida had sun and The Gotz Family, while Chicago had smiley fireworks and my BFF. For the hell of it Stu has some comments about The Hedgehog, Ron Jeremy, I relived a little bit of my fraternity days, and Stu said there was some weird boycott of Zynga games on Facebook though it wasn’t about Farmville like I thought, but some grumpiness about Vampire Wars that I still don’t understand. At least we both have “Bruno” to look forward to next weekend!

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Being Tired, Adventureland Talk, and The Dude Can't Mix Crap.

By: The Dude on the Right
Well wouldn't you know it, Stu Gotz and I come up with a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast with not one, but two technical difficulties. But that's okay, because we make them meld together seemlessly, in fact we talk about so much stuff that you probably wouldn't even notice if it wasn't for us pointing them out. Now as for what we talk about, how about this list:

The movie "Adventureland"
A sick dog that likes to lick carpet
The return of "Rescue Me"
The movie "Monsters v Aliens"
The ALL commercials on "Celebrity Apprentice"
Wishing Farrah Faucett get well wishes

I would get more creative about what is in the podcast, but really, I'm tired, just want to take a nap, and if you listen to the podcast you will find out why. Hey, I suppose "Why I'm so tired" should be in the above list.

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! (Sort Of): Hangin' With no Drug Lords, Kidney Stones, Idol Talk, and Underwear in a Bag

By: The Dude on the Right
With my being in Mexico and not finding any drug lords, there wasn't time for a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast on Monday, so instead we get a Thursday podcast with Stu Gotz. As most of my time for the past week has been being spent on vacation, I give Stu my initial take on the resort my BFF and I stayed at, Dreams Villamagna, where we didn't hear any gunfire but did find that it took too long to get food and that typos can be funny. And me, not being the seasoned traveler, get confirmation that you should take a bag to put your dirty underwear, as my BFF instructed me. I found that I hated the "reserving your lounge chair with a towel" status quo, and thankfully I didn't get diarrhea, but damn, did I fart a lot!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Getting Domestic, Oscar Talk, SCUBA, and Playboy for the Articles

By: The Dude on the Right
Since it's the day after The Academy Awards, Stu Gotz and I get together for our podcast and have Oscar talk for our “Weekend Wrap-Up!” Well, we don’t have Oscar talk right away, first I get pummeled by Stu, and Mama Gotz from afar, for being domestic by being “Frank the Tank,” even though we incorrectly reference the Will Ferrell character from "Old School" as "Hank the Tank," (yea, go ahead and pummle the both of us for screwing that up, and yes, I am ashamed at myself) with my trip to Lowe's and Bed, Bath & Beyond with the BFF over the weekend. And then comes our Oscar talk.

We both have our thoughts about The Academy Award broadcast, thought there were some decent moments, both wonder why there were only three nominees for best song, and I thought the making fun of Joaquin Phoenix was a little much, although very funny. And as movie reviewers, we found it totally odd that neither of us have seen “Slumdog Millionaire” yet, even though my BFF has, and both think Goldie Hawn should just accept her age and strive to be the hot, older lady.

Stu did see some movies, though, liking, as I did, “Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay,” liking “He’s Just Not That Into You” more than me, and he was bummed he missed Friday night at the “Our World Underwater” SCUBA Expo with his Bonica friend.

Me, sadly with the domestic shopping, there wasn’t any time for new movies over the weekend, though I did catch “Hitch” (I need to really thank Will Smith one day for that movie) on TV Saturday night, and I did attend a Confirmation ceremony on Friday evening which made me wonder about proper "Confirmation" attire.

And finally, our podcast also includes another installment of “I Read Playboy for The Articles” segment. It's about Governor Sarah Palin and a turkey.

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Valentine's Day, Lots of Movies, and Not Spoiling SNL - much.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz is back from vacation so I've got a partner again for our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, and what better way to start than with a discussion about Valentine's Day, my meal fit for a King, some differences in what might have been in a box, and that people should be out buying mattresses. But enough about love and mattresses, we also discuss a ton of movies with Stu seeing "The Love Guru," "Semi-Pro," "You Don't Mess With the Zohan," and "Hotel for Dogs," while I saw "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," and "High School Musical 3: Senior Year." And in some blast-from-the-past viewing, Stu caught "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," the movie not the TV series, and was able to pick out a young Ben Affleck as "Basketball Player #10." Finally, I do my best not to ruin two very funny Saturday Night Live skits from over the weekend, one about the "Sir Mix-A-Lot's Photo Shop" and the other having Alec Baldwin playing Wii.

By: The Dude on the Right
As we are slowly getting recording our podcast on my MacBook laptop a little more consistent, it was kind of weird because as much as this was a long weekend for the both of us with Turkey-Day involved, I still wonder why our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast is usually about the same things.

Stu, well, with the holiday, started getting the Little Gotz's involved in science with a trip to the "Museum of Science and Industry" in Chicago, and then introduced them to bad food at "The Walnut Room" while I advise people just show up there to see the Christmas Tree and get dinner somewhere else. He also saw the movie "Bolt" in 3-D and thought the story sucked but was good for the kids, and Mama Gotz wouldn't let him finish watching "Delta Farce" thanks to his Netflix queue. He also tries to analyze an episode of "The Big Bang Theory," and we both loved the "Naked Man" episode of "How I Met Your Mother."

Me, I tell Stu about me and my BFF having dinner with The Dude on the Left and Trash; lunch with The Mystery Dude and Mama Mystery Dude; how I didn't see any movies over the Thanksgiving weekend (but am looking forward to a review of "Australia" from The W.G.N.); how little ones are becoming gamblers; and am thankful that the Chicago Bears loss to the Minnesota Vikings might save me some hours from watching football for the rest of the season, although that time might be now taken by listening to Britney Spears' new CD, "Circus."

So much more, so much less, but as always, thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Fireworks, Movies, Manners, and a Cheap Dude

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz is here for our "Weekend Wrap-Up! Podcast" and he started grumpy, but now is just perturbed at me because I'm too cheap to take a quick Apple class to get our podcast to sound better with the two USB headsets I'm trying to use. Me, I'm just stubborn, and yes, I am cheap.

My cheapness aside, myself, I skipped the movies with my BFF, instead catching the end of the Magnificent Mile Festival of Lights Parade, where maybe our vantage point was crap for float viewing, but if you want the perfect view for the fireworks, I know the spot and I'm not telling. Stu didn't catch a parade, didn't take the little Gotz's to see "Bolt," but his seeing "Quantum of Solace" did lend us to some James Bond talk. On the funnier front, Stu revisited "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," while I have Netflix viewing to catch up with, including "Tropic Thunder!"

There is a little talk about The Chicago Bears and their leading the division yet still sucking, Stu ponders his Twitter Tweets, manners, and a way to help save the environment because you only wipe your butt with one hand.

Stu, being the Scuba man that he is, lastly reminisces on the ending of the YMCA Scuba Training, with a little but of animosity.

Neither of us know if we will see "Transporter 3," "Australia," or "Four Christmases" at the movies this week for Thanksgiving, but did enjoy Justin Timberlake in a black unitard on Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago.

Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! "Quantum of Solace," The Chicago Bears Suck, A Crabman, and More!

By: The Dude on the Right
I think I had a more exciting weekend than Stu Gotz, but to really find out, I suppose you'll have to listen to this week's "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast.

For Stu, well, most of his weekend was about family. He caught a movie with Mama Gotz, "27 Dresses," a movie I watched a few weeks ago with my BFF, and Stu kind of liked it. He also is keeping track of "Entourage" on HBO, and really isn't that sad that "My Own Worst Enemy" got cancelled from his TV schedule because he thought the show blew its load way too early in the season. He did find it surprising that YouTube booted his short video of one of the Little Gotz's when he got a message that his video was booted for having copyrighted material, even though it did contain copyrighted music. so, I guess, ahh, the Wild West of the universe might have really found a new sheriff, but I was just surprised that Stu actually knew what an algorithm was!

Me, I prognosticated, via Twitter, that the Chicago Bears would beat the Green Bay Packers by a score of 96 to 3, whereas sadly the score was almost exactly the opposite. I tell Stu how much the Bears sucked, even though I didn't get to see most of the game because the BFF and I went to see, "Quantum of Solace," which I still haven't decided if that was a good or bad thing, and we also went to the NBC Travel Expo at Navy Pier in Chicago and were both kind of disappointed at the representations of some Caribbean locals we were thinking of vacationing to. I did get to see Crabman and Catalina from "My Name is Earl," though only from afar, my BFF and I got to admire Mike Adamle (and I so wish I had a video camera) eating popcorn, and nothing wraps up an exciting weekend like cleaning your garage!

Sure, there are some other things we talk about, but for those, well, you'll just have to listen to the podcast.

And as always, thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Bubble Tea, Families, Movies, and an Injury.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz is here for our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, where he makes fun of the fact I've been dating my BFF for six months. But this podcast is not only about Stu making fun of me, somehow we cram tons of talk of tons of things into almost twenty minutes of a podcast.

Included in our talking is a quick discussion about bubble tea, with me and the BFF finding "Chill Bubble Tea" at Woodfield Mall on the way to an early Thanksgiving family get-together where "Mexican Fiesta" was the theme, and I am still in wonderment at the family gatherings of my BFF because they are so different from how mine are. Of course we talk about movies, with Stu Gotz seeing "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" with the Little Gotz's and Mama Gotz, at the IMAX theater at Navy Pier in Chicago, while I got to see "Role Models" and really enjoyed it, in an R-Rated kind of way. I was surprised to learn Stu actually knew of the movie "Like Water for Chocolate," which I watched with my BFF thanks to my Netflix queue (and liked it), and Stu reminds me I might want to catch up on "Entourage" on HBO and reminds the ladies that if they want to see wieners in movies, they might want to catch "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," "The Piano," or "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."

We also give our breakdown of the Chicago Bears' loss to the Tennessee Titans, and Stu is injured thanks to digging dirt and playing with his Wii. That's his Nintendo Wii, and playing with his other Wii didn't seem to help build up any muscles.

So much to talk about, so little time, but somehow we cram it all in, and are both looking forward to the new James Bond flick coming this weekend, "Quantum of Solace."

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Making a Porno, Don't Forget Sarah Marshall, The Elections and More!

By: The Dude on the Right
After re-listening to our latest "Stu & The Dude Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, it doesn't sound as bad as I thought it might, though there is a slight echo, being recorded on my new MacBook and all, but there are still some microphone issues, some sound effects issues, and issues of shutting up Stu Gotz at times that I still need to deal with, but for about 18 minutes we have a bunch of topics to cover as quickly as we can.

Sure, there is a brief discussion about the passing of Mom on the Right, but as sometimes happens for us, especially over the weekend, movies seems to be a part of our lives, so I saw "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" and Stu liked, via Netflix, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" sans the wiener.

Stu and Mama Gotz didn't get to see a movie, but they did hit some places for the kids over the weekend, namely a place with jumpy stuff for the kids at a birthday party, and someplace called "Space Golf" where Stu wonders if the people who run the place bought too much over-priced sci-fi crap. It does, though, give a new place for my BFF and I to continue our miniature golf competition.

TV talk also proliferates this podcast, with talk of "My Name is Earl" and "South Park," and what would a podcast on the eve of the Presidential Election be without talk about the Presidential Election, or in Chicago, voting early and voting often.

It was great to talk with Stu again for a podcast, even if there were some audio issues, but as Stu comments about Studs Terkel, it ends up obvious that neither of us read many books, but we do watch TV and both liked John McCain on "Saturday Night Live."

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! No More Hooters, Football, A Chihuahua, and More!

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz is back! That's right, he's here in all his nasally glory for another episode of our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. With Stu back he tells of a birthday party for one of the Little Gotz's, complete with a trip for a group of little tykes to see "Beverly Hills Chihuahua." Stu mentions if he liked the movie and also if it good for kids, that even though he saw it a while ago he didn't think "Speed Racer" was that bad, and hated the ending of "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People." Movies aside, I tell Stu about my and the BFF's experience at Hooters which was simply supposed to be a to-go order of ten medium flavored wings which turned into a forty minute odyssey resulting in two giant orders of cold fries, two orders of blue cheese and celery, two large glasses of water, ten wings that had no sauce whatsoever, and a feeling that the BFF and I will not be visiting, at least not together, a Hooters anytime soon.

And if that isn't enough for fifteen minutes of conversation, Stu and I also discuss Mama Gotz wanting to sell Beanie Babies on eBay, guns for kids, a fake e-mail about Barak Obama dealing with The American Flag and The National Anthem (come on people, use snopes.com), and, ever so briefly, we talk about movies that will be opening this weekend.

Chicago Sports, Stu's Schnoz, Apples, and A Happy Faced Barn.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz was worried about his ticker but found out it was only his giant nose, so I'm flying solo for this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, and even though my impression of Stu sucks, and I don't keep it going throughout the podcast (mostly because it would have probably been really annoying), I let you know what Stu sort of sounds like right now, or maybe not. But this is a podcast about my weekend, and like many Chicagoans, it was a lot about sports. Sure, the Chicago Cubs finalized their meltdown, with this year's team securing their history in Cub's lore as the team that made them not win a World Series in 100 years, and the Chicago Bears are actually looking good, and as a Kyle Orton athletic supporter, I was happy to see him do well, but were the Detroit Lions really a good indication of their Bear-ness? And then there are the White Sox, breathing life into the hopes of Chicago baseball fans, or at least south-side fans, for another game. The crappy part is that as I'm typing this, and recorded the podcast, the White Sox aren't doing well (in fact they lost), and I'm blaming their losing this series on the fact that the White Sox management people urged fans to wear black, but then gave the fans those dumb-ass, white, towels, which you might as well just call "Homer-Hankies," or something else gay like that, instead of refilling the order at "Bed, Bath & Beyond" for 40,000 black towels. Blackouts only work when everything is black, and I hate to create my own conspiracy theory, but what the hell? When the Chicago White Sox had their original "blackout" for the one game playoff, well, fans donned their black outfits, the fans were given black towels, and on TV it looked eerily cool, especially with Halloween coming. Then came the playoffs, and on TV you know what looks contrasting? People dressed in black while waving white towels. Do you know who waves white towels? Managers in the corners of a boxer, a boxer who is about to be pummeled beyond all recognition. They don't throw in a black towel; they throw in a white towel, and that's what the White Sox fans are flailing above their heads during this game. Black towels are south side Chicago - White towels are lame-asses.

Enough about sports and TV conspiracy theories, my weekend also included something way out of normalcy for me, thanks to my BFF, and it might be something both of us needed - a trip to do some apple picking, at some place called The Elegant Farmer, which plunged me into a world of wondering if people have fallen off of the hayride, why we kept getting in line at the donut shack only to have them run out of donuts, and I don't care how the apple people try to sell it - hail damaged apples look gross, I'm not putting them in my basket, and I have no idea how I didn't fall off of that ladder!

Most of my weekend was really about apple picking, so I'm sorry for the baseball rant, but in a bizarre way I thought the Chicago White Sox could actually pull off a second win, but with those dumb-ass white towels, the White Sox fans now look like every other dorky fan in the Major Leagues. A blackout means black, that you are a bad-ass - white towels mean you give up.

And, oh yea, during this podcast I also tell how I might start a new spotlight dealing with "The Biggest Loser."

This is probably the longest synopsis for a fifteen minute podcast ever, but I can't believe both Chicago baseball teams sucked this bad.

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Lots of Movies, Sports, and Spelling Julio.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz is back for a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, just in time to ruin the story of what I thought was a lovely moment at dinner with my BFF, at "Uncle Julio's Hacienda" (and you spell "Julio" with a "J" and not an "H", and the drink I thought was called something like "The Squirrel" is actually called "Swirl" , and they have way-good food), in Chicago, and he also explains that he doesn't know how to hang up his phone.

Politics aside, Stu ruins my pronouncement of the latest contestants of "Dancing With the Stars" for this podcast, there's a marriage that was done, I had to pee and didn't want to cut my wiener, and one of the Little Gotz's gets some disappointment and doesn't understand how the "movie" world works thanks to the changing of the release date of Disney's "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" from his birthday weekend, to, well, October 3rd. With Little Gotz's dreams now crushed, the next thing you know he'll be asking Daddy Gotz to watch "The Bad Lieutenant. Like Father, Like Son.

Even with my trip to the old country, both of our weekends were kind of boring. Since I don't know if I'll get a podcast posted this Thursday (we'll see if I can get things together with The W.G.N.), I hope your upcoming Labor Day weekend is more exciting, especially, well, if you end up in labor. Screw the workers - birthing babies is really about labor, at least so I'm told, read, or see in the movies. Happy labor! Or just enjoy the day, and think about working, or having a baby.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! A Long Life, Beautiful People, Car Crashes, and More!

By: The Dude on the Right
The Blue Angels at the Chicago Air & Water Show This podcast episode of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!" opens, and sort of closes, with how to live a long life, care of Ernest Borgnine, although it might not cause you to prosper. But living a long life wasn't a part of mine nor Stu Gotz's weekend, instead, I risked my life, and the life of my BFF, by going to the "Chicago Air and Water Show," where I sort of wished I were part of "The Beautiful People" crowd, though I'm also happy that I wasn't a part of "The Beautiful People" crowd, because, well, they can be assholes. Thankfully no airplanes crashed on us, and thanks to my BFF my feet only got a little red because I'm starting to think she might be the smart one of our duo.

Meanwhile, in risking lives, Stu risked his life, and learned a lot about car crashes, boobs, and mullets, by taking the Gotz family to a Demolition Derby, he still has dude-love for Minor League Baseball with a bachelor party night out with Officer G, and of course is still watching cable TV series, and comments about "Psych."

Buckingham Fountain in Chicago, at Night We are both tired of The Olympics and Michael Phelps, although Stu is still watching women's beach volleyball while I'm watching fencing, I recommend The Buckingham Fountain light and music show in Chicago to Stu, and the both of us recommend seeing the movie "Tropic Thunder." Stu also thinks if you are totally dedicated to Starbucks, well, getting a tattoo of their logo on your arm might just show your love for your coffee, though might not advance you in the company.

And lastly, Stu found out about the new Lara Croft (although, as I researched her for this podcast after we recorded this episode, Alison Carroll is not the new "movie" Lara, she's the new "video game" Lara - Stu, get your story straight before you try and brag about something I try to think I know about), and I tell Stu that there is one reason why I don't like my iPhone, and Stu found out why.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! RIP Chef, Calliope Music, and Stu Doesn't See "The Scorpions" but Does Eat Tamales!

By: The Dude on the Right
For this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast with Stu Gotz, we do a different kind of tribute than most folks did to Isaac Hayes, especially since we are bigger fans of "South Park" than we are of "Shaft." R.I.P. Chef, we'll miss your "Chocolate Salty Balls." And other than tributing to dead people, we also do some movie talk, namely my seeing "Pineapple Express" with my BFF, and I might just get struck down my lighting yet with my observations of attending church at what is right now the church of Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago.

I do explain to Stu that my BFF and I also watched "Blazing Saddles" on DVD, but Stu has his own movie, and also TV talk, with his Netflix queue (not really liking "Someone To Eat Cheese With" yet) and cable TV viewing of shows like "In Plain Sight," "Psych," and "Burn Notice."

Stu apologizes about his making fun of me about my Twittering thanks to Twissney, and renews his loves for not-so-hot tamales, instead of the hot tamale girl he found, when his normal tamale girl was missing.

I didn't realize Stu was such a fan of The Scorpions when I got clearance to cover their show, so sadly he wasn't my +1 for seeing the show (that review should be posted in a day or so), and what would the end of this summer be without some talk about the 2008 Olympics.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Movie-ing, Salespeople-ing, Turtle-ing, Food-ing, but No Twittering (yet).

By: The Dude on the Right
This podcast of Stu & The Dude's "Weekend Wrap-Up!" begins with Stu Gotz's explanation of what "turtling" is, which he had going on at a Starbucks, to which I incorrectly reference it as something about a gopher when actually I meant "prairie doggin" it, a term I was introduced to during the movie "Rat Race." But enough about animals, my weekend, as has been happening lately, included time with my BFF where car shopping was the order of the day, I ordered a pork chop with some fufu when we went to dinner at Carnivale, and with no time to watch the "Blazing Saddles" DVD, we did go and see "Swing Vote" together. Stu is becoming delighted with my BFF and her influence on me.

Stu's weekend wasn't very exciting, just catching up on some things around the Gotz house, but he tries to entice me to visit the Apple Store near him for a total "why I should buy an Apple" class, and also temps me for lunch at Ricobene's for a breaded steak dripping with red sauce, mozzarella, and for me, sweet peppers, with of course, their fabulous fries. Do I cave in? The podcast might answer those questions.

And finally, I try to explain to Stu why I'll be seeing "Pineapple Express" this weekend, and hope an old review of Melissa Etheridge doesn't ruin my chances to cover one of her shows this week in Chicago. I also tell Stu that maybe I should be twittering, because, well, I ran into a dudette in the elevator who was twittering and asked me if I twittered, and lately it seems likes blogs and podcasts aren't cool anymore, that the hip people twitter, and I so want to be hip. If I were twittering, right now I could twitter that I'm writing my podcast synopsis and it includes talk about twittering. Then later I could twitter how I posted this podcast which included talk about twittering. And then later than that, if the weather forecast holds, I could twitter that we are getting deluged by a big thunderstorm. And then later still, I could twitter that I survived our big thunderstorm. And then later than later still, I could twitter that I am going to bed. And then during the night, if I have a dream, I could wake up and twitter about it. Now I'm almost wishing I was twittering because I would twitter about how I'm wondering how I could incorporate my tweets (those are Twitter postings, as if you didn't know) instantly into Entertainment Ave! What the hell am I thinking? I haven't even finished building our virtual "Entertainment Ave!" in Second Life yet, and now I'm thinking of twittering? Although if I were twittering I could twitter about wondering if I should be twittering instead of building our virtual bar in Second Life. Maybe I should just concentrate on reviewing concerts again, although if I were twittering I could twitter about how I should concentrate on reviewing concerts again. Ugh!!!!

Please just listen to the podcast.! I promise I don't talk nearly as much about twittering as I have written in this synopsis.

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.

Thanks for listening!

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.

Thanks for listening!

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.

By: The Dude on the Right
Computer issues seem to be proliferating the lives of myself and Stu Gotz, so for this podcast episode of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!", well, we, among other things, lament about our computer problems. Mine deal with not getting new reviews posted, namely I haven't gotten my movie review of "Get Smart," nor the concert review of "The Swell Season" posted yet (those are coming soon since things are fixed, I hope, with the testingness of getting this podcast posted should show things are resolved), while Stu is waiting for a package to solve his computer issues, although Mama Gotz might have come up with a cheaper solution.

Stu, along with his computer issues, also talks about his Netfilx viewing, and Mama Gotz still hating me because, now, of their seeing "No Country for Old Men," and even though I didn't give my official review of "Get Smart" yet, I do give Stu my take on the movie during the podcast. Me, I also saw more of the family of my BFF over my weekend, (happily, or maybe sadly, without them greeting me with bags over their heads), I lent Stu the extended version of "Stripes" because of the deleted scene of P.J. Soles, and the UPS Store Girl aside, Stu and I are sad to hear of the passing of George Carlin who died yesterday. We talk about his comedy, our seeing him, his great movie roles (and yes, screwing that up George Carlin was actually Cardinal Ignatius Glick instead of a Bishop, as we referenced him, in the movie "Dogma"), and neither of us really knew why Mr. Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words" joke ended up being so controversial. We are both so young, yet getting old.

By: The Dude on the Right
So I made a significant change to my MySpace Page, and the fallout is now happening. Sadly Stu Gotz and I recorded our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast prior to the fallout, but Stu had his own way of avoiding a question he has asked two times before, and to my dismay I can't believe I actually enabled him by supplying him with a music clip. Weekend-wise, though, Stu's wasn't that exciting, but hanging with your family on a little vacation doesn't have to be that exciting, just relaxing and showing the kids that you can catch a fish, take a picture, and throw them back in the water (the fish, not the kids) can be time well spent. Me, I tell Stu how my BFF got me to expand my culinary horizons at a variety of restaurants in Chicago, such as Red Light, Sushi Wabi, and Marche, how we went to see "Sex and the City" and both liked the movie, and how I was a little surprised to hear opera singing at Chicago's Gospel Fest.

But the podcast isn't all about us, nope, I regale Stu with clips from a Pastor/Minister/Whomever, wondering how he doesn't get sued, and Stu leaves me high-and-dry for part of the podcast, searching the Internet for potential nip-slips from yesterday's "MTV Movie Awards" gold-carpet show.

Now I just have to wait and see when my other BFF disowns me!

Happy listening!

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Skype Works, Stu's Sick, A Cougar Movie, and an Indy Movie.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu and I couldn't meet up together for our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, but through the magic of Skype it's almost like he was sitting next to me, if sitting next to me means an ever so slight delay in our conversation and occasionally losing his voice for a second or two. Actually, our internet experiment worked, complete with sound effects, so I know that guest podcasters is an option for the future. But this a podcast about our respective weekends, so here's the basic rundown of what we chat about...

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.”

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!

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.

"Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! "The Bourne Ultimatum," Debating - Gladiator Style in Chicago, Chocolate Rain, and Poo.

By: The Dude on the Right
We had some slight audio issues to start this podcast, or at least Stu Gotz and I thought we did, but maybe we're just suffering from heat exhaustion since the both of us did so much work outside this weekend. We happily share all of our outdoor exploits with you during this episode of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-up!", and along with all of our outside activities, I thrill Stu with my talk about "The Bourne Ultimatum" and "Hot Rod," two movies that I caught this weekend, and I actually overtook Stu in watching "Rescue Me," ruining a couple of plot points for him from the last episode.

Stu, though, is ahead on the "Entourage" viewing and loves "Who Wants to Be a Superhero," but that isn’t nearly as important as our discussion on how to make the Democratic debate at Soldier Field more exciting (think "Gladiator" combined with a wet t-shirt contest when it starts to rain, complete with Pay-Per-View). And as exciting as that might sound just remember, everything "Comes Down to Poo" and "Chocolate Rain," because sometimes there isn’t anything as compelling as poo, which, I suppose, could sometimes be chocolate rain.

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! "The Simpsons Movie," It's Not Stu's Fault, and Boinking Animals.

By: The Dude on the Right
After weeks apart Stu Gotz and I are back together again for this podcast, and because the news is so timely, only happening a couple of weeks ago, I was happy to find out that Stu didn't find out who the Emmy nominees are for “Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics,” and I hip him to a couple of the potential winners (Go Dick, boo Poo).

In other news Stu tries to defend himself after my last podcast stating he is not the reason I am chubby, and we both reminisce of our catching "The Simpsons Movie." Stu didn't do much else over the weekend, it seems he’s too busy listening to “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” Yup, that’s right, he’s too lazy to read the book and bought the audio version. His latest Harry Potter issues don’t seem to be helping his sex life any, but Mama Gotz got a free ride for the younger Gotz at a carnival, and Stu had to hip her as to the probable reason why.

Me, I missed "Entourage" yesterday, but Stu says I should watch it soon, something about animal boinking. Thank God for HBO On Demand - animal boinking here I come! Wait a minute, that sounds really wrong. I mean "Watching animal boinking, here I come!" I guess that doesn't seem to sound any better, now I'm just a voyeur and not a participant. Third times a charm - "Entourage," here I come!

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! An RV, Not Running Drugs, and Harry Potter.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu's back, barely, so we're back to our standard podcast programming of a weekend wrap-up. I say Stu's back, barely, because thanks to his not believing Mama Gotz would be diligent enough to find one to his specifications, well, the Gotz family is now the proud owner of a recreational vehicle. Yup, that's right, better than a family truckster, the Gotz's have an RV. So, for Stu's weekend wrap-up, his was all about flying out to Arizona to drive the thing back with his buddy, Cell-Phone John. He saw a giant cross, got pulled over by a cop who helped him learn a thing or two about drug smuggling, and made it back to the Gotz household at 3AM this morning. He also explains why you can't always count on Google Maps to be correct in telling you how long your trip will take (the Google folks seem to forget something very important in their calculations).

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Kids are Turning Japanese, Journey Scores a Top 5 Single on Sirius, Wii Workouts, and Movie Talk.

By: The Dude on the Right
This week's weather is looking hot, but the weekend was cool, just like Stu Gotz and I, so cool in fact we are back with all of the cool stuff we did this weekend in this episode of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up" podcast. I hip Stu to the resurgence of Journey, namely with "Don't Stop Believing" finding itself at #5 on the Sirius Hits 1 Weekend Countdown. Stu also has what will hopefully be our last "Soprano" story ever. Stu was wondering about his fathering abilities as one of the CD's his kids love to listen to is a compilation of songs, with one of their favorites being "The Monster Mash." The thing is that the CD also contains "Turning Japanese" by The Vapors, and "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas, and as little boys will be little boys, well, Stu wonders about the political incorrectness of his boys when they sing. I think Stu might at well just get it over with and teach his kids the f-bomb and s-bomb, but then again I don't have kids.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!: Importing Cicadas, "Knocked Up," Baseball, and Chicken Legs.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz’s kids got in the way of his seeing "Knocked Up" and "The Sopranos," but at least his family may be involved in the migration of the 17-Year cicadas to his neighborhood. He won’t know if their science experiment worked until, well, 17 years from now, but the family antics did lead to some fun discussions for this week’s "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast.

By: The Dude on the Right
Baseball is coming, and so is Easter, and Stu Gotz joins me for another podcast of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!"

This episode opens with me questioning Stu if fraternity life has changed as much as a news report seems to say it has, and he reminds me of the foot-fetish caller that dialed our fraternity house during meals. We also talk a little bit about "Blades of Glory," but I let Stu know that if he wants to see a great movie, "The Lookout" might want to make it to his list.

We both were up to date that Donald Trump didn't get his head shaved for "Wrestlemania," although neither of us actually thought it would be The Donald's hair getting the cut. Stu's weekend also took an interesting turn at an Easter Egg Hunt where, while Stu was filming his kids, a friend of his comes up and starts commenting on the Easter Eggs on the MILF's at the hunt. Stu's got some video editing to do if he wants to actually show this video to his kids.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Trump Wants The Dude, Stu Saw Some Nija Turtles, The Dude Saw a Sniper and a Sandler, and Bad Starbucks' Etiquette.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu sneezed. You couldn't hear the sneeze because he turned his mike off, but trust me, he sneezed. I burped, and trust me, you can hear me burp because I didn't turn off my mike. Stu Gotz has better manners than I do, and as disgusted as he might have been with mine he goes ballistic about someone's lack of Starbucks' etiquette. And so we are here for another episode of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!"

Starbucks aside, and the NCAA March Madness aside (since I'm now officially a loser in all of my pools), pretty much for both me and Stu our weekends were about movies and enjoying the nice weather. Me, I saw "Shooter" and "Reign Over Me," and let Stu know whether or not he should add either to his Netflix cue. Stu, surprisingly for me, went to see "TMNT," that's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," and lets me know that if I had kids, or a Netflix cue, that I shouldn't plan on trying to see the film.

I also brag to Stu about how important I must be because Donald Trump sent me a letter. Well, not really a letter, but an invite to a seminar complete with George from "The Apprentice." It doesn't look like The Donald will be there, and Stu is still wavering if he wants to come along. I still have to check my schedule if I want to give up this internet career for one in real estate, although I bet the real estate career might pay better.

I did forget to remind Stu about our rallying cry for another week, or at least Tuesday night with "American Idol" coming up, and that is simply: "Vote for Sanjaya!"

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!: Vote for Sanjaya, Movie Talk, Chris Rock, Building Shelves, and More!

By: The Dude on the Right
I think Stu is now on board the "Vote for Sanjaya" train! Yup, Stu Gotz is here for another unbelievable episode of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!", and what an action-packed podcast it is. I fill Stu in on the beginning of last weekend's "Saturday Night Live" where Chris Rock kicked off the show, and I am a little off during the podcast because Carol Burnett tugged her ear for her grandmother and not her mother, but in any case she is suing "The Family Guy" folks. I remind Stu about coming on board the "Vote for Sanjaya" train, and he suggests we start an e-mail and cell-phone texting list to remind people when to vote and what number to call. Stu got to see "Premonition" and is fascinated by Sandra Bullock's butt, while I saw "I Think I Love My Wife" and think Chris Rock lost focus of exactly what the film was supposed to be.

Then there is some NCAA Basketball talk (Go Salukis!), a redesign of mostlyentertainment.com, I might try to lose weight again, and Stu tries to build some wacky shelves but mostly just pisses off Mama Gotz.

Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! The Bag-Lady, "Norbit," Scuba Diving, and TV Talk.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu is back from his travels, so I'm not flying solo for this installment of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!"

Stu's weekend was capped by a lot of scuba diving stuff, complete with a night out with way-competitive scuba folks (thankfully they weren't diving, or with knives) and meeting the "Deep Sea Detectives." His travels last weekend also took him to Disney's Pirate and Princess Party where he dressed up Mama Gotz in a skimpy pirate outfit, and makes fun of the dudes who didn't grow a pair and dressed up as Prince Charming. He wouldn't elaborate on any Pirate booty he may have gotten, but the kids were with him so there was probably nothing to brag to the guys about.

Me, I saw a dear old friend of mine, The Bag-Lady, with her daughter, and could still kick myself in the ass for not going to see her daughter's tennis match in lieu of seeing "Norbit." I give Stu some of my take on The Grammy Awards telecast, as well as my initial thoughts about the new season of "Survivor."

So much to talk about, so little time.

Thanks for listening and your comments.

Thank God in Heaven because Stu Gotz is back town and I was able to send Lou packing for now! That means Stu and I give our weekend wrap-up, and as he questions me as to what I've been up to while he's been gone, I can't really remember. He got to see "Happy Feet" with his kids and did he like it? Not so much. Me, I tell him of my escapades seeing "Casino Royale." Stu was also a little worried one of our favorite restaurants might be on the City of Chicago's shut-down-because-of-shit list, or just shut down for health code violations, but happily it wasn't on the list. There was a place, though, with an unknown food source, and you stereotypically might think is was a Chinese restaurant, but it wasn't.

We also try to catch up on our TV viewing, and Stu wants me to come back from my Thanksgiving travels with a good story and an interesting picture. We'll see how that goes.

By: The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz is back for our weekend wrap-up, and with Halloween being tomorrow I find out that his oldest Gotz is quite fickle when it comes to his costume. But that's not all our weekends were filled with. Nope. For one I show him that Ashlee Simpson isn't the ugly-duckling Simpson sister anymore, and he tells me he thinks "The Break-
