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.

What’s New? A Podcast of: Bears, Emmy’s, T.V., TiVo, and No “Buddy Christ” Explanation.

The
Dude on the Right is lonely, and
flying solo for this podcast, and doesn’t even
explain to the audio world why "The Buddy Christ" is back where he belongs, at
least in the world of The Dude on the Right.  He does, though, talk about
his football team, the Chicago Bears, still sucking, how the Emmy Awards sucked,
but the only thing infiltrating the mind of The Dude right now, other than
wondering how his BFF will accept him into the fall season, is how he will be
able to TiVo all of his favorite T.V. shows, especially since he now owns an
HDTV.  On a Monday when The Dude could have probably used someone to talk
to, namely Stu Gotz, especially to tell him about the secret to maybe relieving
his congested nose during allergy season, well, The Dude is relegated to viewing
television, on a crystal clear, high-def TV screen, yet wondering how to record "Survivor:
Gabon" in high-def.

The Dude really needs to win the
lottery.

What’s New? Hurricane Ike talk with The W.G.N. gets decimated by the tornado that is The W.F.N.

The
Dude on the Right just wanted

a nice podcast with The W.G.N., maybe talking about Hurricane Ike that hit
the Houston area, but then a tornado infiltrated the podcast, namely The W.F.N. 
All of a sudden it was talk about graduating from high school, The Dude
disrespecting The W.F.N., her wanting her own podcast, and well, just about
anything else she wanted to comment about because that girl has things to say,
and she damn well will do her best to make sure you hear it!

It was a fun diversion for The Dude, talking to The W.F.N., but with podcast
time running down, it didn’t leave too much time left for The Dude to converse
with The W.G.N., but they did get in some sport’s talk, some college talk, and
yes, even some hurricane talk.

The W.F.N. definitely needs her own podcast platform, but The Dude just
wonders if he’ll be able to control her so he doesn’t lose any advertisers.

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Rain, Movies, TV, and A Loud Starbucks.

Stu Gotz somehow convinced The Dude on the Right that they should record
their

"Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast at a Starbucks, and even though the music was
loud, it did make for some nice, background music, even if it distracted The
Dude.  The both of them, though, overcame the background music to talk
about the boatloads of rain that were dumped on the Midwest over the weekend,
they both talk a bit about Hurricane Ike and the people who want to be rescued
in Galveston now that the storm is gone, and hey, why not critique Tina Fey
playing Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live?"  Sure, they both liked Tina,
didn’t think Michael Phelps did that great on SNL, Stu’s got questions about the
ending of "3:10 to Yuma" while The Dude thinks Stu might piss his pants during
one scene of "Burn After Reading," but a podcast with Stu and The Dude wouldn’t
be complete without some talk about TV, and The Dude on the Right needs to quit
reviewing his visits to church.  The Dude does give a shout-out to his BFF,
if you followed The
Dude’s Twitter you would have been texted to see Carlos Zambrano of The
Chicago Cubs get a no-hitter, and if you’re looking for Sarah Silverman in
skimpy underwear, go ahead and rent "I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With." 
Just don’t ask The Dude what a "Hoagie Shack" is because he couldn’t remember
the term during his "review" while talking with Stu.

What’s New? A Podcast of: I Hate Ike, Getting Shot, Forgetting “The Goonies,” and Remembering The World Trade Center

The
Dude on the Right is flying solo for this podcast mostly because he didn’t
want to invite The W.G.N. to be a guest podcaster, thereby delaying The W.G.N.’s
getting out of Dodge, or at least Houston.  The Dude realizes he missed his
opportunity for "I Hate Ike" buttons and bumper stickers, but is happy that he
only got shot in a dream, by a dude who looked like Chunk from the movie "The
Goonies."

The Dude also does some reflecting on the anniversary or September 11th,
remembering that he was actually at the top of The World Trade Center in 1985,
and is kind of sad that Presidential politics has come to sound bites about a
"lipstick on a pig" comment that has been around for years, rather than the
actual issues we really care about.  The Dude isn’t perfect by not joining
in with the stupidness of it all, but hey, he’s only a dude.

What’s New? A Podcast of: Bears Win!, A Dead TV, The MTV VMA’s, and no Stu Gotz.

This should be a “Weekend Wrap-Up!”, but The Dude on the Right is flying solo for this podcast because Stu Gotz decided to see Mickey Mouse. Actually, it was mostly Mama Gotz and the LIttle Gotz’s that wanted to see Mickey, but, in any case, The Dude is left to lament about his TV woes by himself now that it is confirmed that his TV is really dead. And as The Dude contemplates purchasing a new TV, he sort of wonders why he should, especially since he fell asleep while watching the Chicago Bears beat the Indianapolis Colts, it was probably easier to watch the Cleveland Browns lose on a smaller TV, and there really didn’t seem to be a reason to watch the MTV Video Music Awards, especially since Britney Spears wasn’t a train wreck this year, she was just inserted into a lame skit. And yea, blah, blah, blah, the joke is old, but why is MTV still having a Video Music Awards ceremony when they don’t show many videos anymore?

What’s New? Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Cheese Curls, Google Chrome, A Favorite Shirt, and More!

Stu
and The Dude survived their respective Labor Day Weekends, and

for this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast they both show that hanging with a BFF,
and doing some painting, can really be exciting.

Okay, maybe the more exciting parts of this podcast are about The Dude on the
Right getting his BFF addicted to Snyder of Berlin Cheese Curls, and Stu Gotz
loving his favorite shirt, but don’t be mad at them.  At least they don’t
try to discuss Sarah Palin, churches wasting money, or the difference between
sluts and whores.

You know what, go ahead and be mad at them.

What’s New? Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! The Democratic Convention, Dancing With the Stars, and Disney Disappoints a Gotz.

This podcast episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" isn’t
really about The Democratic Convention, nor The Olympics, but during this
podcast there’s a trip to the Old Country and peeing. Sure, other stuff is
associated with this podcast, but doesn’t that quadfecta explain it all?

Podcast wise, well, Stu ruins some "Dancing With the Stars" talk, and the
reputation of shows with Ted McGinley is subtlety talked about, but more talked
about is a Little Gotz having his birthday ruined thank to the folks at Disney
thinking "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" should be released in October rather on the
Little Gotz birthday.

Summer is almost over, women giving Labor is upon us, and pretty soon the leaves
on the trees will tell us that the end-of-the-year holidays will lead us to a
new year that will probably influence us in ways we can’t control, no matter if
Barack Obama or John McCain is our new President.

In the end, we can only control our boat.

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

The Blue Angels at The Chicago Air and Water ShowThis
podcast episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" is about living a
long life, and putting yourself in danger.  The Dude on The Right put
himself, and the life of his BFF, in danger, by going to see the Chicago Air &
Water Show, where, at any time, planes could have come crashing down on them, or
more likely, they would have been sunburned beyond belief if it wasn’t for the
level-headedness of The Dude’s BFF.  Stu didn’t actually put himself in
danger, but he did take the Gotz family to an event of others putting themselves
in danger, namely a Demolition Derby, and he also found out that as cool as the
iPhone might be, it does have a stupid limitation that Stu’s Sprint Instinct
might want to exploit a little more in commercial advertisements.

Both of the boys are almost sick of The Olympics and the coverage of Michael
Phelps, Stu is still watching shows like "Psych" on Cable TV, and The Dude
realized that the nightly light and music show that accompanies Buckingham
Fountain in Chicago is pretty cool.

And, oh yea, they also talk about "Tropic Thunder" and upcoming movies.

What’s New? The Chicago Air & Water Show, “Tropic Thunder,” Mark Your Calendars, and The Olympics!


The Dude on the Right flies solo for this podcast, though talking about
flying is exciting him about seeing the "Chicago Air and Water Show" this
weekend with his BFF.  Hopefully that will go well, and Monday’s podcast
will be all about fun at North Avenue Beach in Chicago.

The Dude also does a large rant on The Olympics with Michael Phelps and Mark
Spitz, the Chinese deceiving us, and his loving Fencing and not Women’s Beach
Volleyball.  He is also strangely fascinated with the Norwegian
weightlifter who blew out his arm during his competition.

"Tropic Thunder" talk also is in the podcast, though The Dude is worried that if
you don’t see the movie, well, you must be a reta$#, though, never mind,

he doesn’t want to get boycotted.

Maybe you better just listen to this podcast to find out when "Harry Potter and
The Half-Blood Prince" will be in theaters in 2009.
