The Dude on the Right has turned in his guy-card. Yup, we find in his movie review of “Definitely, Maybe” that The Dude got weepy, even during a scene that was telegraphed from miles away. He does think it is a great date movie, but is sad the with Ryan Reynolds entering the realm of being a more serious actor, odds are there won’t be a “Van Wilder: He’s a Professor Now.”

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Jumper.”
The Dude on the Right thinks “Jumper” had the potential to turn itself into a movie about a new superhero, and he tells you how in his movie review. Sadly, though, for The Dude the movie just turned into a movie about a dork with a cool power, looking to get his girl. Maybe the book the movie was based on was better, but The Dude doesn’t read so that really doesn’t matter.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Why Johnny Fairplay Might be Gone, Goodbye Josiah, TV is Almost Back, and Getting Howard Stern off the Air.
The Dude on the Right is here for his Valentine’s Day podcast, and he doesn’t talk about love. Instead The Dude gives his analysis on Johnny Fairplay being booted from “Survivor: Micronesia” last week, feeling bad for Josiah who’s back living in his car after “American Idol,” and being happy some of his favorite TV shows will be back, soon. He is also worried that Howard Stern might be off the air soon recalling the movie “Spies Like Us” and the government looking to shoot down a “broken, spy” satellite.
Why Johnny Fairplay Might be Gone, Goodbye Josiah, TV is Almost Back, and Getting Howard Stern off the Air.
By:
The Dude on the Right
First, to our dudette listeners, Happy Valentine’s Day! To our dude
listeners, it’s Thursday.
Anyway, TV has, or will be soon, kicking back into
gear, and
during this podcast I give you my reason why Johnny Fairplay looked to get
his butt off of the island as soon as possible in last week’s "Survivor:
Micronesia." I was also sad to see that Josiah is probably back living in
his car after being booted from "American Idol." The good news is that
some of my favorite shows, like "How I Met Your Mother," "The Big Bang Theory,"
"My Name is Earl," and "30 Rock," will be back on the air in a little over a
month!
Also on my topic of discussion is a potential government conspiracy
coming in the next week or so. It has to do with trying to shoot down a
government spy satellite, the movie "Spies Like Us," the Sirius and XM Satellite
radio merger, and the government’s, I mean radio industry’s, last chance to get
Howard Stern off the air. I’ll just tease it with this: Sirius has
three satellites in space, I think. The government has three shots to take
down the spy satellite. Hmm?
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

So Much Mis-Information: Bob’s not Dead and the DOTL isn’t Engaged. We Think.
By:
The Dude on the Right
In that last week I heard a friend of mine got engaged and another one died.
So much for proper communication.
First the death that didn’t happen.
The
e-mail subject simply read "Bob died." I know a few Bob’s, but only one
came to mind from the person who sent this e-mail to me and my buddy Stu Gotz.
I met Stu before I got a chance to read the e-mail myself, he mentioned the
e-mail, and it was a bummer. We both knew Bob had his health problems, but
it was still sort of shock. The problem came because our buddy who sent
the e-mail, Fruitcake, didn’t add a last name in the subject line, only
forwarding along the e-mail he received, and Stu didn’t read the supplementary
parts of the e-mail, namely that which would have given the last name.
Nope, Stu assumed it was the Bob we were familiar with, but luckily we both
found out that this Bob was one we knew from ten year’s ago and not the Bob we
were thinking of, before we spread the word out, which would have gotten to the
Bob we know, who would have probably said "But I’m not dead."
And no, the DOTL
is not engaged. Either. We think.
What’s a good reason to go to
Las Vegas? Why a bachelor party, of course, and late last week Stu got a
text message from Wimp stating a quick trip was being planned to the land of
gambling and boobs for the bachelor party of the DOTL. Damn, we didn’t
even know the DOTL was engaged! Stu investigated, or rather contacted
Wimp, who said the DOTL was planning to elope with Trash at the end of March,
getting married during an already planned trip to Vegas, so he was working to
put together a quick bachelor party weekend for the DOTL and all of his friends.
Stu had lots of plans for the upcoming weekend already set up but quickly worked
to cancel them, mostly because Mama Gotz told him to get his ass to Vegas (trust
me, that does not happen often), and me, well, I did some quick investigating
realizing I couldn’t afford a trip to Sin City on short notice (damn airfare),
that, and I’m afraid of losing all of my money on a Blackjack table and, well,
fake boobs scare me (I suppose they would scare me less have I had the chance to
feel them, but sadly,
Vegas strippers only seem to let other women feel them, or at least Trash).
I even almost posted a "Congratulations DOTL & Trash" blog over the weekend, but
then feared what if Whammy read the post and didn’t know about the engagement?
Stu still seemed to be getting innuendos of upcoming nuptials, but something
didn’t seem right so I had to get Trash involved in this rumor, sending off a
quick e-mail, to which she squashed the story of the wedding plans, pretty much
throwing Wimp under the bus.
It seems Wimp, not knowing how to "justify" for
Mrs. Wimp a quick trip to Las Vegas for him and his friends, instead decided
using the DOTL getting engaged and needing a bachelor party was the way to go.
I’m not sure how he’ll explain things to her when the DOTL and Trash don’t
actually get married, but I’m thinking he’s also got that figured out, unless
Mrs. Wimp reads my blogs (which I’m pretty sure she doesn’t), in which case,
Wimp, I’m sorry.
Important plans almost got changed, maybe I could have
conquered my fears, felt fake boobs (if only allowed, of course), and lost all
of my money in the casino, but the next time, Wimp, you can tell Mrs. Wimp
anything you want, just fill us in on the "truth" so we don’t blow it for
others. That is, unless the DOTL and Trash are now lying and plan to get
married at the end of March. Or maybe it’s just the DOTL is lying, and was
hoping to get married at the end of March. Or maybe no one is getting
married, but we should all just plan a great trip to Vegas at the end of March.
At least, right now, Stu and I know the Bob we thought was, isn’t dead, and the
DOTL we thought was, isn’t engaged. Right now, all we do know, is Stupid
Wimp.
That’s it for this one!

What’s New? A Podcast of: 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.
Stu Gotz and The Dude on the Right finally got back together for their “Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcast, maybe just to stay warm. The Dude talks about The Grammy Awards and then spotlights a song that probably has no chance to win one, while Stu worries if his kids should see “The Spiderwick Chonicles.” The Dude can’t help with the “Spider” movie, but he does tell Stu about “Fool’s Gold” and the Vince Vaughn comedy movie, while Stu saw “Atonement” and “The Nanny Diaries,” but warns The Dude that those who hire a nanny might not get the funny of the latter.
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.

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!

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Fool’s Gold.”
The Dude on the Right went to see “Fool’s Gold,” and guess what? That’s right, he wrote a review. The Dude’s always had a thing for Kate Hudson, and now he has a thing for Alexis Dziena, he just wishes the movie was rated R. As far as the movie goes, you will get exactly what you will probably expect, The Dude just wishes the film people could have made up their minds if that should be comedy or adventure.
What’s New? A Movie Review of “Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show.”
The Dude on the Right was looking for some laughs, and he got them when he went to see ” Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights – Hollywood to the Heartland.” The title might be long, but the movie is a great look at 30 days, and nights, with four comics and some special guests thrown in for good measure. A word of warning: If you are a blue-hair who doesn’t like the F-Bomb please stay away from this movie, or just get through it to realize that comics are people, too.
My Dream Woman at The Post Office
By:
The Dude on the Right
As is part of my problem in life I’m shy. The other problem is that I
don’t know the right thing to say until maybe 30 minutes later. That case
in point came about during a visit to The Post Office today when I had the
chance to maybe meet the woman of my dreams. There she was, waiting for
some Passport help, her paperwork in hand, and doing some texting. And as
people are wont to do these days, then she starts a conversation on her cell
phone. Now there are times when people try to be discreet when they’re on
the phone in public, but not my girl, dressed in tight jeans, a tight shirt, and
a giant, silver belt. Nope, she wanted everyone waiting in line at the
post office to know that she was planning on going to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight
because they have some drink specials, and she was pissed at her friend.
She was so pissed, in fact, that she told all of us he had called her the
P-word, was upset he asked if she was having sex with some other dude, then in
her conversation dropped an "F" him," and an "F" that "S," of course not using
the shortened version of the words, but the full-blown F-Bomb and S-Bomb.
What a woman of class! What a woman for me! What a woman I couldn’t
take home to meet mom!
And at the time I couldn’t think of a thing to say.
Sadly there weren’t any little kids around so I couldn’t go up to her and ask
her to watch her language (for the children, of course), and sadly I was in the
line to get stamps rather than get a passport so I couldn’t strike up the
conversation of where she might be going. Also, from her conversation, it
sounded like she might be in college, at least I assume so because she talked
about some classes she was taking and it would be kind of sad if she were 21
years old and still in high school, so maybe I could have offered to help her
with some of her classes.
And then, sadly, while she was still in
mid-conversation, I finally got my stamps and had to leave my dream woman
behind.
It was then, thirty minutes later, when I figured out how I could have
made my move: "Excuse me, can you tell me what Buffalo Wild Wings you will be at tonight and at what time? I would really like to buy a woman of your class a
drink."
Looks like I let another great girl slip away. Damn.
That’s it for this one!
