The
Dude on the Right is fired up for this podcast but it’s not about the
Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox losing their first games in the baseball
playoffs. Nope, The Dude can’t understand the actions of a dude in an
elevator, he’s worried that he missed out on some easy grant money for studying people
at a Chinese Buffet, and even though Steve Fossett’s plane has been found, he
wonders about Steve Fossett actually being found. And if you have found,
in your e-mail, how you might be better off getting a financial windfall rather
than AIG getting their bailout, you might want to pull out your calculator to
figure out how you’re going to be spending your "windfall" of $425.00, and not
$425,000. And if you are a dudette or a gay dude, you might want to start
watching "Survivor: Gabon" and tell the PTC (Parent’s Television Council) to
butt out of your newfound hap-penis.

Elevator Etiquette, Duh, Steve Fossett Isn’t Found Yet, and Simple Math.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Sure,
for this podcast, I could rant and rave about the Chicago Cubs and Chicago
White Sox losing both of their first games in the baseball playoffs, but
something more important crept into my psyche today, and this might sound
stupid, but it simply dealt with pushing a button in an elevator. And
speaking of stupid, well, there was a study done about people who eat at a
Chinese buffet, and I just worry that I lost out on grant money for a study of
"duh." And speaking of studying, a hiker found some stuff that Steve
Fossett owned while the dude was hiking, stuff that didn’t burn up in the crash
that has now been found, but where is the body of Steve Fossett, and is there
any reward money for the dude or should he at least be able to keep the cash
that he found? And speaking of cash, there’s an e-mail going around about the
bailout of AIG that would net adults in the United States $425,000 each, but the
math is wrong. No, you don’t get $425,000 which might save you from your
own financial crisis, you would actually get $425 which probably won’t help you
pay off your mortgage, might help you get into the world’s crappiest college,
you could buy a shitty car, or purchase about 1.08 shares of stock in
Google should you decide to invest your windfall in the stock market. Me,
I’m not so much pissed that I’m not getting $425,000.00, I’m pissed I didn’t
think of writing that e-mail and let my sister disseminate it to the rest of the
world.
Lastly, the PTC (that’s the Parent’s Television Council) is upset with
CBS again. You figure out why, but if you’re a dudette or gay, you might
just start TiVoing "Survivor: Gabon."
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Ghost Town.”
The trailers for the movie "Ghost Town" showed a kinda funny, kinda quirky
movie, and for the most part it was, but The Dude on the Right does his best,
during
his movie review of "Ghost Town," to try and explain that funny and quirky
are fine, but dragging things out during a movie is not. The Dude liked
the jokes, laughed a bit, but thought the movie was too long. His BFF was
a little more harsh in her rating for the movie, so it’s probably a good thing
for the movie folks, at least for The Dude’s rating, that The Dude really likes
a good dick joke, even if it was about a dead dude.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Lots of Movies, Sports, and Spelling Julio.
It’s
a Monday so it must be time for
a new episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, and right
off the bat Stu Gotz decides to put a different spin on a romantic moment that
The Dude on the Right and his BFF shared while having dinner at
"Uncle Julio’s Hacienda"
in Chicago. Stu tries to make up for it with a not-that-humiliating story
about not hanging up his phone after leaving a message, but as the podcast goes
on there is a lot of movie talk, with "Hoot,"
"Eagle Eye," "The Hammer," and "Ghost Town," being some of the topics.
There is also some talk about the new design of the Chicago Tribune, and the
both of them discuss sports, especially since, in Chicago, it’s been weird with
the Chicago Bears beating the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chicago Cubs waiting for
the post-season, and the Chicago White Sox needing to win things in the weirdest
ways to keep the nightmare of a Cubs-White Sox "World Series" alive.
The Dude also does his impersonation of Tina Fey impersonating Sarah Palin, but,
well, The Dude’s not that good.

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.
Dinner and a cell phone aside, the both of us
saw some movies over the weekend, with Stu not liking the Jimmy Buffett-backed
movie, "Hoot," that he saw on cable that much, my liking both
"Eagle Eye" with Shia LaBeouf, in the theater and "The Hammer" with Adam
Carolla, on DVD, and both myself and my BFF thinking "Ghost Town" with Ricky
Gervais was too long. Both Stu and I are happy the Chicago Bears won, and
Stu gives his detailed analysis of the new design of the Chicago Tribune
newspaper. Thankfully he let me take his paper because my subscription is
still on vacation hold and the store was sold out, although, since they were
actually free today, wouldn’t they have actually been free out? And me, I
also give Stu my quick analysis of my TV viewing, complete about "Dancing With
the Stars," "Survivor: Gabon," and "The Biggest Loser: Families."
Anyway, what
would a timely podcast be without my impersonation of
Tina Fey impersonating Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live," with the both
of us amazed at Tina Fey’s impersonation of Sarah Palin, though Stu was not
amazed at my impersonation of Tina Fey impersonating Sarah Palin.

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Eagle Eye”
Going into seeing this movie, The Dude on the Right pretty much figured he would
have to suspend reality if he were
to review "Eagle Eye" properly, and he tried to do as much. He thinks
Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan were okay, but liked Billy Bob Thornton a
little bit more. In the end, though, he wonders if the film people became
infatuated with a couple of films, like "I, Robot," "War Games," "The Italian
Job," and any other movie where cell phones and street lights can be controlled
by computers. The Dude was also bummed the poignant ending wasn’t played
out rather than the feel-good ending that made The Dude drop his rating 1/2
stars. In the end, though, if you’re looking for action-packed
non-reality, go and see "Eagle Eye." Escape from the financial crisis and
realize that yes, computers might be the downfall of us all!
What’s New? A Podcast of: Remote Control Madness, “Survivor: Gabon,” and Who’s to Blame?
The Dude on the Right is flying solo for this podcast, but that’s okay,
because his life is now in turmoil thanks to his buying a new T.V., and Canada.
It seems that getting a new T.V. also required getting a new cable box, and now
his way-cool remote control isn’t way-cool anymore because it needs some major
reprogramming. And as much as he can still control his T.V. viewing with 4
different remotes, and as much as he can now record 5 shows at one time, the
success of the Chicago Cubs, and the impending doom of the Chicago White Sox,
throws a small monkey-wrench into The Dude’s viewing plans because sports are
best watched live.
The Dude also had a nice weekend planned, but as things are in turmoil in the
United States, in the end, it might just all be Canada’s fault. At least
it was on
"South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut," a movie he didn’t let The W.G.N. see
when he was youngin. Sometimes The Dude tries to be a good uncle.
Remote Control Madness, “Survivor: Gabon,” and Who’s to Blame?
By:
The Dude on the Right
Who knew that buying a new TV would send my life into a remote control meltdown,
but for this podcast, as much as I’m happy I have my new HDTV, all of a
sudden I have realized that my way-cool Philips Pronto remote control, that
works through walls, needs to be reprogrammed, and if any of you know a good
location to get hex remote codes (I used to have a link through Premise Systems,
but I guess they are gone), I would greatly appreciate an e-mail with where to
go. Sure, this last sentence probably means absolutely nothing to most of
you, but to us remote control programming nuts, trust me, it makes total sense.
But my lame remote control woes aside, TV is starting to kick into high gear,
especially with "Survivor: Gabon" starting tonight, and yes, I’m still watching
Survivor, much to the worrisome of my BFF. I have to say I haven’t gotten
sucked back into "Dancing With the Stars," but I am back on board for "The
Biggest Loser: Families" and "Heroes." The tricky part about T.V., though,
right now, is that The Chicago Cubs have secured a playoff spot, the Chicago
White Sox are letting the end of this season be a nail-biter, and even though I
now have five ways to record shows, sports are always best watched live.
And I don’t have my programmable remote set up to help me with any of this yet.
Lastly, there’s also some blame to go around for a change in my weekend plans,
and who better to blame than a country.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

What’s New? A DVD Review of “Baby Mama.”
Is
"Baby Mama" a movie for the dudes? Well, The Dude on the Right saw the
movie in the theater, and now does his DVD review of "Baby Mama," and he still
thinks most dudes will find it funny. It’s pretty obvious the dudettes
will find it funny, because, well, it’s about dudette stuff, and the dudettes
could easily use this movie as an excuse to have a dudette posse party, watching
a funny movie a lot of them can relate with, but hopefully their dude isn’t
really like Carl (the Dax Shepard character).
Tina Fey is on a roll, with her Emmy Award winning show "30 Rock," and if
John McCain dies, leaving Sarah Palin as President, and then Sarah has a brain
aneurism, Tina could actually be the next President of the United States, in
disguise, much like Dave became the President in the movie "Dave," and we
wouldn’t even know it. Wow, that last comment isn’t even about the DVD
"Baby Mama." You know what, just rent the damn thing – The Dude on the
Right says that it’s funny.
What’s New? A DVD Review of “I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With.”
The Dude on the Right was going to save
this review of "I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With" for a rainy day, just to
get something posted, but right now he is so sucked back into the Fall TV
season, well, it might as well be a rainy day. So here is his posted
review of the DVD, where more people than he can recognize are actually in this
movie, but to name two, Jeff Garlin (duh, he wrote, directed and starred in
it), and Steve Dahl (unless you live in Chicago you might say "Who?") have big
or small parts, but hey, if you are a fan of Sarah Silverman, and want to see
her in some slinky lingerie, this movie will probably be worth the rental, just
to, well, see Sarah Silverman in slinky lingerie.
The Dude does find the movie funny, in terms of dialogue, but also thinks the
movie drags a bit, even though he still thinks it’s funny. The Dude is
really confused.
