Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Lame Movies, A Lame Weekend, and a Blower at a Ballgame.

Weekends are normally a time of excitement, a time of getting things done around
the house, of enjoying loved ones because you don’t have the daily grind of the
weekday. Thank God Stu had an exciting story to tell because otherwise
this might have been the most boring episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend
Wrap-Up!" ever. My weekend was basically spent working on the
Entertainment Ave! redesign, making good headway in The Movie Theater section
(even though I didn’t see any movies), and enjoying about two hours of the
fantastic weather we had in Chicago. I also had an issue with some meat,
so Stu recommended I visit Beecher Illinois and its meat shop.
Stu, on the
other hand, went to see a ballgame, where he and Mama Gotz witnessed a blower at
a ballgame.
We did talk a bit about the movie "Idiocracy,"
about "The Sopranos," about "Heroes," and Stu saw "Idol Rewind," witnessing the
brilliance that would be Kelly Clarkson while wondering what happened with the
talent on this season’s "American Idol."
Want to know what exactly "a blower
at a ballgame" is. Well,
download and listen to the podcast.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

What’s New? A Podcast of: “American Idol” Conspiracy Theories, Writing Can Get You Jailed, and Bobby “Boris” Pickett is Dead.
For this podcast The Dude on the Right is still trying to further develop his “American Idol” conspiracy theories, especially with the “mysterious” booting of Sanjaya one week before the “Idol Gives Back” broadcast. He’s also worried about how creative writing now might get you arrested, and is saddened by the passing of Bobby “Boris” Pickett. Long live Bobby “Boris” Pickett.
“American Idol” Conspiracy Theories, Writing Can Get You Jailed, and Bobby “Boris” Pickett is Dead.

It might take another couple of weeks for me to drop this, but I still have my
conspiracy theories about Sanjaya getting booted from "American Idol,"
especially the week before "Idol Gives Back." A lot of it has to do with a
clause for the producers to get rid of people, and the other has to do with
telephone technology. I’m also on the "I’m sad for the people who got shot
at Virginia Tech, but don’t think the incident deserves flags flying at
half-staff" group. In Illinois we’ve now got a student who has
gotten arrested for completing a writing assignment, and Bobby "Boris"
Pickett is dead. Long will live Bobby "Boris" Pickett thanks to his song.
And if you are wondering about Bobby "Boris" Pickett and his song, feel free to

Dear American Idol, at Least Sally Struthers Sent Me a Picture of Who I Was Helping.
By:
The Dude on the Right
"American Idol" gets all self-righteous this week because now they want you to
vote because your votes will click into donations to "Idol Gives Back." We
get a bunch of "tear-jerking" of how things suck outside of the United States,
how things suck inside the United States, how, like those old Sally Struthers’
commercials, it only "costs less than $.50 a day to feed a child," and I hate to
sound soul-less, but Sanjaya is gone, I already have the charities I give my
money to, and don’t really care about any of the singers that are left, but
here’s my take on their performances anyway:
Chris: Sings "Change the
World" by Eric Clapton. Did okay but the song is boring, except for this
being "charity" week so of course it fits.
Melinda: Sings "There Will
Come a Day" by Faith Hill. I still think she has been losing weight (good
for her), now needs some slight dental work, but more importantly did a great
job with her singing, and performing.
Blake: Sings "Imagine" by John Lennon. First thought – You
should never sing "Imagine" unless you are John Lennon. Second thought –
You should never sing "Imagine" unless you are John Lennon. Simon saw
sincerity in the performance. He might have had sincerity, but Blake
didn’t seem to portray emotion.
LeKisha: Sings "I Believe" by
Fantasia. Why do they keep "squishing" her into these dresses, especially
her bust-line? She almost seems to be trying too hard in her singing.
Phil: Sings "The Change" by Garth Brooks. Sticking with the country
side since he can this week, but man, I loved Garth’s version while am cringing
while Phil sings the song. It must have sounded a hell of a lot better in
the studio than it did on TV because the judges seemed to have liked it.
Jordin: Sings "You’ll Never Walk Alone." I hate to say this, but as
inspirational as this song is supposed to sound, on my TV she didn’t sound
uplifting, but rather depressing.
I honestly have to say this might be my last
"American Idol" synopsis because I can’t take their "we are better than the
world" attitude anymore. The reason for this comes from some of Ryan
Seacrest’s final lines in the show, namely "This might be the most important
call you’ll ever make." and "You are saving your favorite, and you are saving
lives." I could vote to save a life, but is "American Idol" going to send
me a photo of the child I’m "feeding" in a far-off land? I don’t think so.
I also don’t have a favorite so sadly it seems all of my 300 or some odd votes
that I cast for Sanjaya, while I was on the "Vote for Sanjaya" bandwagon and
hypnotized by The Howard Stern Movement, aren’t going to feed anyone.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Alanis’ Humps, Movies to See or Not to See, and T.V. Sweeps are Coming.
For this podcast of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!”, Stu Gotz and The Dude on the Right are finally able to get together after a couple of weeks to actually do a wrap-up. There’s some quick talks about Alanis Morissette and her humps, they trade movie notes on what to, and what not to see, and both are looking forward to the return of “Heroes.” The Dude is now hooked on “Entourage” and is looking forward to the episode with Artie Lange from Howard Stern’s show, and the nice weather also had The Dude reflect back to college and finishing off a Vicodin prescription.
Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Alanis’ Humps, Movies to See or Not to See, and T.V. Sweeps are Coming.

The Dude on the Right
First it was the Chicago Cubs getting in the way, then a nor’easter kept Stu at
bay, and then Stu and I actually recorded our weekend wrap-up but I had a
brain-fart and left my mobile podcast studio at Stu’s. So it may be a
couple of weeks, and a day or a few dollars short late, but finally Stu and I
are back for our weekend wrap-up!
We had a lot to talk about, but not enough
time, so I quickly introduced Stu to a fantastic version of
"My Humps"
by Alanis Morissette. And then it was off to the races as I told Stu he
should see
"Hot Fuzz," he told me not to see "Meet the Robinsons," and how him and Mama
Gotz disagreed on
"Rocky Balboa." Quickly things shifted to television where lots of
shows are starting back up again, namely "Heroes," and I let Stu know that I am
getting sucked into "Entourage," and that next week (April 29th) is supposed to
be the episode with Artie Lange from The Howard Stern Show.
We also enjoyed a
super-nice weekend weather-wise in the Chicago area, and reminisced college days
when we used to hang out on the roof of the fraternity house, and how I once
finished up my Vicodin prescription by getting a sun tan.
Next week should be
a little bit less scatterbrained, since we’ll only have one weekend to wrap up,
but for now feel free to
download and listen.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Hot Fuzz.”
For this movie review of “Hot Fuzz,” The Dude on the Right isn’t always a fan of British humor, but for the last twenty minutes of this movie alone he recommends seeing it. He also admires probably the best use of a swan in a movie, ever.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Why Watch “American Idol” or “Dancing With the Stars” Any More?
For this podcast The Dude on the Right laments about his having no desire to watch “American Idol” anymore since Sanjaya has been booted. It also seems the producers of the show have left themselves an “out” to “eliminate” any contestant because of “power dialing.” Sadly Howard Stern and the dialidol site may have given the producers their “reason” to toss out some of Sanjaya’s votes. He’s also sick of “Dancing With the Stars,” or at least the “Heather Mills is an amputee story. He’s now only watching for Julianne Hough and Edyta Sliwinska.
Why Watch “American Idol” or “Dancing With the Stars” Any More?
By:
The Dude on the Right
It was a sad day today as Sanjaya was kicked off "American Idol" last night, and
I really have no reason to watch the show anymore except to give my updates.
But, there is controversy brewing because, it seems, the producers have left
themselves an "out," to maybe kick off anyone they want, at any time.
Howard Stern brought it up on his show this morning, but at the end of the
"American Idol" broadcast there is a message on the screen, "Production will
have in place weekly monitoring procedures designed to prevent individuals from
unfairly influencing the outcome of the voting by generating significant blocks
of votes using technical enhancements. The producers reserve the right to
remove any identified "Power Dialing" votes." Howard Stern, in
conjunction with the dialidol website, may have become victims of their own
success in keeping Sanjaya alive this long, only to have "the producers" play
the "Power Dialing" card this week. I demand an investigation into the
voting by the accounting firm of Dewey, Cheatum, & Howe, to find out the exact
votes cast last night!
Enough writing, the podcast is about talking, and I
also talk about how I’m almost done with "Dancing With the Stars," except for
Juliane Hough, Apollo Anton Ono’s partner, and
Edyta Sliwinska, the Cheers dude’s partner, because I am sick of the
"Heather Mills is dancing as an amputee" angle, especially since the judges
don’t really seem to be treating her as an equal, but as an amputee.
Thankfully she was in the bottom two last week, but sadly Clyde "The Glide"
Drexler was voted off.
Again, enough writing, I delve into these two topics a
little more in the podcast, so feel free to
download and listen.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
