Swine Flu probably would keep Stu Gotz and The Dude on the Right from doing a "Weekend Wrap-Up" podcast, but since neither of them have it, well, they decide to talk about the flu since, well, everyone else is, and since everyone else thinks they are an expert, the boys try to be experts, too. Thankfully their weekend escapades bring them away from pig talk and on to other conversations like a Confirmation ceremony, T-Ball pictures for the Gotz boys, Stu finding a restaurant called The Brickhouse, and The Dude finding out his BFF cooks some kick-ass ribs. Of course they have some movie talk, and who knew they were both fans of Jesse James on Celebrity Apprentice?

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! No Swine Flu, Dirty Uniforms, Movies, a Brickhouse, and Jesse James.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Neither Stu Gotz nor myself have Swine Flu, at least not yet, so why not podcast during our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" about it. Yup, we’re not Doctors, and we don’t play them on TV, but we sure seem to know a lot about this Pig Virus hitting Mexico and also its effect on the financial markets. But as the flu was hitting people over the weekend, I went to another Confirmation and think maybe I should start reviewing religious events, while Stu got a chuckle at the T-Ball Newbie parents and their not understanding the concept that baseball jerseys are meant to get dirty. The weather also helped keep the both of us inside where I saw "Role Models" again (and highly recommend it), while Stu caught "Leatherheads" and agrees with me on how good it might be. Stu found a restaurant called The Brickhouse that I won’t be taking my BFF to visit, my BFF showed me she can cook some kick-ass ribs, and both Stu and I are fascinated with Jesse James on Celebrity Apprentice, but for different reasons. See, we don’t always think alike!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Seeing the Chicago Cubs, Seeing 17 Again, Seeing Slumdog Millionaire, and Seeing More!
Crappy traffic couldn’t keep The Dude on the Right and Stu Gotz apart this morning, especially since they had a "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast to record! Stu had quite the adventure because he took The Gotz family to see The Chicago Cubs play the St. Louis Cardinals, and little did he know but Wrigley Field would be invaded by seagulls. The Dude tells Stu that "17 Again" isn’t that horrible and Matthew Perry might actually be a really good actor, and Netflix queuing abounded with Stu seeing "Slumdog Millionaire" and The Dude seeing "The Secret Life of Bees." Stu missed out, though, because The Dude saw Donald Trump make fun of Jesse James on "Celebrity Apprentice," but the both of them got to see some large breasts during The Miss USA Pageant. Such are their weekends, sometimes.

Another Weekend Wrap-Up! podcast, so it must be a Monday, or, well, it’s at least Monday, and traffic aside, I finally meet up with Stu Gotz to talk about many a thing. There is the thing like The Gotz Family at The Chicago Cubs’ game where Stu witnessed a seagull invasion while me, I got to see the Zac Efron film, "17 Again," where I saw glimpses of Matthew Perry being a great actor. Stu was able to catch "Slumdog Millionaire" via his Netflix queue, so we have a Netflix movie to chat about, and my Blu-ray player is finally hooked up with the inaugural movie not being "The Dark Knight," not being "Ironman," but "The Secret Life of Bees." Stu, of course, makes fun of me for this, but at least I got to see Donald Trump bust on Jesse James during "Celebrity Apprentice" over the weekend. Hey, we also talk about pretty girls, namely discussing the "Miss U.S.A." pageant a tad.

This is “American Idol” and Quentin Tarantino is in Da House! But why?
By:
The Dude on the Right
I know I’ve been lax in my "American Idol" analysis this season, but what the hell, there’s no time like the present to start it up again!
Anyway, people were pissed last week because their TiVo missed the ending or cut into whatever show was after "American Idol" because it ran long. To trim time this week, now we can’t hear what all of the judges think about each contestant, instead they are broken into groups of two. You know what? I think they should have a shock buzzer on Kara DioGuardi so she shuts up some times because Randy is usually just inane but we like him saying "Dog,"
Paula is wacky and we never know what she’ll say, Simon has the only comments that matter, and Kara just keeps talking. Well, it’s Quentin Tarantino week. I agree he picks great songs for his movies, but as a vocal coach? I guess we’ll see.
Here we go…
Allison Iraheta
– Sings – “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” Aerosmith
– I generally like her, but thought she overdid the song a bit. I think it came across better live, as Paula and Simon really loved her.
Anoop Desai
– Sings “Everything I Do, I Do for You” Bryan Adams
– I thought he was really good singing-wise, and he’s getting a decent stage presence. He’s almost getting a chance to stick around a few more weeks.
Adam Lambert
– “Born to be Wild” Steppenwolf
– He’s keeping his persona, he’s trying to channel Elvis body movements, and Simon is probably just licking his chops because he sees the commercial potential Adam has. Simon, though, has the best looks at Paula when she talks. Everyone loves him.
Matt Giraud
– Sings – “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?” Bryan Adams
– Wow, this is a mess. I really, really, really, didn’t like him. He started nice enough, but in making it his own I couldn’t stand it.
Danny Gokey
– Sings – “Endless Love” Lionel Richie
– This dude has no soul. I didn’t care for it, Paula seemed to love it (maybe it sounded better in the studio), and Simon had the right take on his performance. Could be time for him to go.
Kris Allen
– Sings – “Falling Slowly” The Swell Season
– I absolutely love this song, but cutting it into pieces really ruins this song, and as okay as he sounds, he doesn’t have nearly the passion that Glen Hansard has and it really needs a true duet partner like Marketa Irglova to be pulled off. I think Kara is crazy for liking his version.
Lil Rounds
– Sings “The Rose” Bette Midler
– Well, she can sing, but I thought she was doing better keeping the song toned down. When she hit the middle where she gospel’ed it up, it seemed messed up. She needed to do it one way or the other, and not both. And what did Paula say? Simon had it right becuase f you’re into the R&B, the soul, and the gospel, then why did you pick “The Rose” which is none of them.
Let’s wrap this up…
Even with them limiting what the judges said, the show still ran long. Someone needs to adjust some scheduling on Fox. As far as the performances, they can probably just shut the show down now because the person with the potential to be a star is Adam Lambert. That said, I’m thinking Kris Allen or Lil Rounds will be going home tomorrow night. Kris’ song choice was too obscure and just plain bad, and Lil Rounds doesn’t seem to be able to pick a song in her wheelhouse. The rest were probably good enough to stick around another week, but I’ve been wrong before.
That’s it for this one!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Sandusky, OH., Naperville, IL., Observe and Report, and More!
Stu Gotz was stuck in Sandusky, OH, for Easter with a broken down RV and two anxious kids, to The Gotz family made the most of their vehicle troubles with a trip to Castaway Bay, a hotel with an indoor water park. Such was his weekend, as he tells The Dude on the Right during this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. Meanwhile, The Dude spent some quality time with his BFF in Downtown Naperville, IL, seeing "Observe and Report," and hanging with his BFF’s family for Easter. All in all, broken down vehicle and all, it was a nice weekend for the both of them.

By:
The Dude on the Right
Well, our Weekend Wrap-Up! podcast is a day late because Stu Gotz got stuck in Sandusky, OH, thanks to his "tenement on wheels," also known as The Gotz RV, taking a crapper on The Ohio Turnpike. With Cedar Point still being closed for the season, lucky for him there were a batch of hotels with indoor water parks attached, and The Gotz Family spent Easter at Castaway Bay where they ended up making the best of things. So, for Stu, pretty much his weekend was all about traveling the highways and byways of our great land. Me, on the other hand, spent some quality time on Saturday afternoon with my BFF, hanging in downtown Naperville, IL, and then the both of us catching "Observe and Report." We also did some church-going on Easter Sunday, I’m still the "Crack-the-Egg" champ, and I tell Stu about my Facebook addiction, namely Pirates, and now Hatchlings and Mafia Wars. I’m also addicted to Mafia Wars on my iPhone, so feel free to join my iPhone Mafia crew (My player ID is: 5203 1552 22).
Hopefully our vehicles will be in driving order next week so our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" will be on time, and maybe I’ll check if The W.G.N. is free this Thursday for a podcast, although he might be partying it up on Spring Break. We’ll see!

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Observe and Report.”
The Dude on the Right reviewed the movie "Observe and Report," and wanted to like the movie a lot more than he did. His underlying problem with the movie: The film folks decided that for most of the last third of the movie Ronnie (Seth Rogan), the head of mall security, would turn into a complete nutjob. Sure, part of it is because he gave his bi-polar medicine to Brandi (Anna Faris), but The Dude thought the movie was really holding its own as a comedy up until that part. Thankfully, for The Dude, the movie took a funny, yet bizarre turn, at the end, to save it a bit.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Being Tired, Adventureland Talk, and The Dude Can’t Mix Crap.
The Dude on the Right is pretty tired from being up all night with a dog that wanted to lick carpet. During this podcast episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-up!" he tells Stu Gotz all about it, and then realizes he is happy it wasn’t Stu licking carpet that kept him up all night. The boys also have movies to discuss, mostly "Adventureland" but a little about "Monsters Vs. Aliens," and TV is also a topic of discussion as the boys talk the return of "Rescue Me" and then analyze "Celebrity Apprentice." All that and more in this week’s episode, so listen up!

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.
