And now it's time for the Daily Doorspag.
I, Joe or Jane Listener, hereby promise to lie to all my friends and tell them how good
the show is.
And finally, I, Joe or Jane Listener, promise to visit Montrose, Missouri to take advantage
of the power plant, campgrounds and junkyard all within its quarter mile radius.
Here at Two Douchebags and a Microphone, we don't stand behind our journalistic integrity.
Go ahead and assume we got the story wrong.
At least we admit it.
Not like all those other guys, we can and will lie if it makes the story better.
Two Douchebags and a Microphone.
We are...
Gazers.
You watched the news.
It looks grim.
Is this an apocalypse?
Inevitable?
We suggest you download all our podcasts beforehand and have multiple mobile chargers.
We have the most apocalypse.
Very important for survival is to know the predators in your area.
Study up on them and grab a few wildlife books to keep in your shelter.
Find information for ways to kill the animal if edible and not damage the meat.
A crossbow is usually most effective.
Tools such as a duck call or a moose call could help when to seek out possible food
to kill.
Search all uses for an animal after it is killed such as the pelt, the hooves or antlers
can make a handy weapon if needed.

We offer you...
First world problems.
Dammit!
I can't decide between nachos, chili or wings for the game tonight.
This is bullshit.
I should not have to make decisions like this.
Every now and then I like to report on conspiracy theories like Rob and I did a couple of them
like Wyoming Didn't Exist.
I think Topher and I went into a couple of them too.
I can't remember exactly what they were.
But this latest one really got me.
I mean, it's possible, yes.
But I just, I don't know.
I think it's so far-fetched and I don't know why it's coming up now.
But here's the outlining of it.
Okay, back in 1982 maybe something like that,
Pepsi did a push to overtake Coke as the number one soft drink in America.
What it did was this thing called the Pepsi Challenge.
And this is where Pepsi went into schools, libraries, malls, public places
and they set up a table and they had two drinks there and they had people come up and try them.
And they had a piece of cardboard paper that like one and two over the front of it.
And then you're to drink both samples of soda.
And then you would tell them which one you thought tastes the best.
Well, Pepsi of course won this.
And not because it's a better drink, but because they were the ones doing it.
So their advertisement was called the Pepsi Challenge.
And they said that more people picked Pepsi over Coca-Cola in a blind taste test.
Well, it seems like there's this group of people that emerged from someone that used to work at Pepsi or something like that.
And they said that the whole thing was a big hoax.
That Pepsi was actually paid by Coca-Cola because Coca-Cola had some ingredient in their drink.
All this is allegedly.
And that they needed to get out of there like it was too expensive or I don't know or maybe they thought it's harmful or something.
But in order to do that, they needed a diversion.
And so they told Pepsi, hey, can you do this Pepsi Challenge deal or whatever?
And then they paid him the money supposedly.
And Pepsi did.
And the whole thing is, is when this happened, here's what it here's what Coca-Cola did.
When Pepsi came out and said, hey, our drinks better than yours and we have proof.
Then Coke said, OK, you're right.
And they took away Coca-Cola, the regular one.
They call it classic.
That's the reason they call it classic now is is because they took it away and they replaced it with a thing called New Coke.
New Coke was even sweeter than Pepsi.
It was a disaster.
People hated it.
I mean, people are going to stores and like throwing the cans everywhere and just, you know, after they buy them and go, this is garbage.
So they didn't have the Internet then.
Otherwise, there'd be all these tick tock videos of people blowing up Coke cans or something.
So supposedly, Coca-Cola needed this diversion.
They paid Pepsi and these two companies actually working together like that, I find ridiculous.
But I'll be the first to admit, it's entirely possible.
I mean, other things have happened that I like going, no, that would never happen.
And actually it did.
So, I mean, I don't know what else to say on that, except that is a very interesting conspiracy theory.
And whoever if this isn't true, whoever came up with this, I give them mad props.
It's genius.
And now on to the adventures of Elon Musk.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk surprised attendees of the we period robot event by presenting a new unexpected vehicle, a passenger van.
Of course, it was far from a conventional van.
The Tesla Robo van is supposed to look like a van.
It I guess you can kind of tell it's a van.
You'll have to take a look at the picture.
The inside looks really cool, though.
It has some futuristic love seats in there and it looks spacious.
And Elon saying that this is a great way to take a lot of people somewhere because he hates public transportation.
And excuse me.
And the electric van space is actually starting to heat up quite a bit.
Volkswagen is doing an ID buzz.
Mercedes is doing an e-Sprinter.
And then in the commercial segment, there's also the Ram Promaster EV, the Ford e-Transit and the bright drop ZEVO.
And I don't know who makes bright drop or whatever.
Anyhow, he showed this he showed the image of the van to the shareholders and they are reportedly pretty stoked about it.
It's the front.
The van looks kind of like a bullet train, actually.
I mean, like one segment of it, one compartment, like maybe the front is rounded off in the front.
I really don't know how to describe this.
Just take a look at the Robo van, Tesla's Robo van, and you'll see exactly what I mean.
Actually, I think this thing may have legs.
I think it has a lot of potential.
I mean, it really, I don't know, it looks cool.
The only thing is, is I'm not real keen on Tesla anymore because recently, like TOFA reported in the NFL, in the NFL show that we do the sports bastards that GEICO is going to stop ensuring the Tesla truck.
And I guess that's because of all the problems.
So this thing here, I mean, I would hope that it would do better than work better, I guess, than the Tesla truck.
So I guess it's remained to be seen.
Of course, it's not out yet, and I'm pretty sure it's still development developmental stage.
So so here recently, there has been a lot of northern lights around Kansas City.
As a matter of fact, I'm on this page for Eureka Springs, and people saw them down there.
People saw them in Florida.
There's this meteorologist that follows hurricanes, tornadoes and all this called Reed Timmer.
He had some great northern light pictures from Florida.
So obviously, it was very visible around here.
It was even visible in northern California because the intense geometrical storms going on on the sun.
Anyhow, I found out there's a lot more to it to get the pictures.
So you really kind of need a tripod because you need the phone to be steady.
You need to put the phone in dark mode and you need to let it load.
And then when it loads, then you push the button.
It was the weirdest thing.
You push the button again.
I've never done this before.
And then it will start snapping pictures.
But unless you are completely, completely steady with it, it won't snap a good picture.
So needless to say, I didn't have a tripod for my cell phone, my smartphone, not cell phone.
And I didn't get any good pictures.
We could see some of it, but we actually probably needed to head out further south
because there's too much light pollution around here to get a really good picture.
If I still lived in Cleveland, Missouri, that would have been a great place.
I know like 30 places out there to go on a huge hill.
Places where we used to watch thunderstorms roll in like bad ones and kind of raid them and go, oh, OK, this one, we better get back to the house.
And this one we could sit here and watch, you know.
So there's a lot of hills like that out there with not very many trees on them to where you can look over and see.
So I imagine out there it was probably brilliant.
And the lights, they range from deep purple to Chief's red and orange.
And I'm not kidding you.
It is Chief's red and orange, the colors that you see on the jerseys.
And then there was like a deep purple with kind of a yellow in it, infused in it, and kind of a bluish infused in it and some dark green around the edges.
It's very cool.
And if you have not seen the pictures, they're everywhere.
If you have not seen the pictures, I encourage you to take a look.
And also I encourage you to look up some of these either astronomical websites or meteorologist websites,
because they are the ones that are telling us when these geometrical storms are going to hit and the best times that you can see the northern lights.
They even have graphs of where you can see them at.
You know, they have like, you know, this is a best zone.
This is a second best zone.
This is a third best zone.
So anyhow, I mean, and I don't even consider this nerdy territory.
I just think this is cool.
Next up, Kings of the Heard in Hell.
K-Rite Cola is the only soft drink available in Hell.
And now, Deep Thoughts with Mark.
Why do they call it quicksand if it takes so slow to sink?
Hmph.
I may never know.
Runnin' and we're all very happy for him.
So I'm going to give him a call when he has the time and we're going to talk for a while.
But he sent me an article about this because he reported on it quite a while ago.
There's an amusement park going into Lake of the Ozarks and it's over there near Sunrise Beach
and kind of in between there and Bagnall Dam if I understand the map correctly on it.
So they're building really quickly on this and suddenly they stopped.
And people are like, well, what happened?
Well, in order to build this place up to where it needs to be with the land, they have to blast for rock.
And where they're blasting for rock evidently is all the utilities from all the timeshares along the lake.
Now, this lake, Lake of the Ozarks, a lot of people watched the Ceres Ozarks so they know this.
And some people go there so they know this.
The Lake of the Ozarks has more shoreline than the entire state of California.
It is a huge winding lake and it's a beautiful lake too. It's a great one.
So there's all these timeshares on it and homes and everything.
Well, when they built all these timeshares, I don't know, maybe 25 years ago or whatever,
they had to bury all the utilities in the ground.
And where this amusement park is going in are the buried utilities.
And evidently they need to blast some of that rock to build up where they're going to build certain things on this amusement park.
So right now it's kind of at a standstill because they're trying to figure out what to do if I understood the article correctly.
So anyhow, that was an interesting article.
And I thank Rob for sending that to me and actually taking the time and giving a shit to send me that story.
But anyhow, Rob's a good guy and he's doing well and we all love him here.
So like I mentioned earlier, we do a show called the Sports Bastards.
We do this every Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on our schedules.
And we usually record about three and a half, four hours of this.
And we divide it into two shows.
And what it is, is it's a prediction show of the show of the of the games coming up.
And it's also an analyzation of the games that were played and also a scorecard of Topher and I's predictions.
Well, we do this thing called Bullet Points.
And it's a really people love this segment.
So anyhow, here are some of the bullet points that are coming up, just so you'll know and maybe you'll want to listen to the Sports Bastards a little bit.
I mean, it's doing well, but trying to give a little push here.
One of it is, should all NFL players be forced to wear white shoes?
The reason is all the disgruntled fans.
I mean, there are people just all pissed off about this.
And I mean, there's only one way to end it.
And that is make everyone wear white shoes. And that way, you know, if you're over there near the sideline, you're just going to get it.
And it's not going to be a big deal. And that's it.
Another question is Lamar Jackson was approached in Cincinnati when having dinner at a restaurant.
The owner let people in even when he said he wouldn't.
It was supposed to be a private dinner.
And I guess Bengals fan is came up to Lamar Jackson while he was eating and telling him that they were going to kick his ass or their ass, the Raven's ass.
And Lamar Jackson came up with a really, really, really good statement.
And he said, If I kick their ass, you're the reason why or no, no, if I beat them, you will be the reason why.
So I thought I thought that was pretty cool.
And then there's other questions, just simpler ones that are like Roger Goodell.
Is he doing a solid job? Another one is the FC Dark Horse is.
So anyhow, these are the bullet points that we do.
And we we really like them. It's a lot of fun.
So if you get a chance, check it out along with other stuff.
We also go into other things, too. We talk about a little bit of everything, but it's mainly the main focus is the NFL and sports.
So give us a check. I usually post the first one if we do it Tuesday.
I posted Tuesday. The second one gets posted Wednesday.
And take a listen. It's pretty good.
We may not know what we're talking about, but we're entertaining.
In. 2024, as Halloween approaches, there's nothing quite like indulging in a sweet treat, whether you're a chocolate lover or a sour candy aficionado.
There's a perfect confection for every palette in 2024.
Consumer spending on Halloween candy is projected to reach three point five billion, a slight decrease from 2023.
So this brings us to what is the most popular Halloween candy in 2024.
This is according to a website called Candy Store Dotcom.
M&Ms finally overtook Reese's Cups. It's owned by the same company, but anyhow.
M&Ms finally overtook Reese's Cups for the top spot for the first time.
In nine states, Reese's was the top one.
And I think that's how they formulate this is interesting.
So I don't know about the rest of states if they're number two or whatever, but that's just what it said here.
So all of them put together, this is the top ten, all the states put together, all of America.
Number one are M&Ms. Number two, Reese's Cups.
Number three, Sour Patch Kids. That surprises me. I didn't think they'd be on there.
Number four, Skittles. I've never been a huge Skittles fan, but a lot of people like them.
So, okay, I guess I could see that.
Number five, Starburst. Starburst are good, but I don't consider them really good. I don't know.
Halloween candy. For whatever reason, it just seems to me like at Starburst or something, someone gives you a friend of yours, gives you, you know, hey, here have a Starburst.
Okay, thanks. It doesn't seem like a viable Halloween candy to me. Maybe that's just me.
Number six, Hot Tamales. They're good, but again, I don't think they're a Halloween candy, but okay.
Number seven, Candy Corn. Oh, no, no, no, no. You dish out candy corn to someone, they should egg your house and hit you in the nuts.
Immediately. No questions asked. That's just the way it should be.
Number eight, Hershey Kisses. They're good, but they're too small. You gotta give them five or six. Don't just give them two. Come on, give them five, six or seven. Give them a handful.
Number nine, now these are, I hear angels. Hershey's mini bars. Those things are crazy good.
But then again, if you're going to give them out, give a couple. Don't give one.
Number ten, Butterfinger. Okay. I don't really have an opinion on that, I guess. Butterfinger is okay. It's good. It's got chocolate. It's got that, I don't know, whatever that orange stuff is in it.
So, anyhow, the top candy, according to states, Alaska, Sour Patch Kids.
Second place, Twix, Alabama Skittles. Second place, Hershey mini bars.
Arkansas, Butterfinger. Second place, Jolly Ranchers. And third place, M&M's.
Arizona, Hershey Kisses, Sour Patch Kids, and M&M's are third. California, M&M's, Reese's Cups, and Skittles.
Colorado, Hershey's Kisses, Milky Way, Twix.
Connecticut, Omen Joy. Oh yeah, I like the way Connecticut. Thanks.
Milky Way and M&M's. Connecticut is the best so far. All chocolatey bars.
DC, M&M's, Tootsie Pops, and Blow Pops.
Delaware, Sour Patch Kids, Skittles, and Life Savers.
Florida, Reese's Cups, Skittles, and Hot Tamales.
Georgia, Jolly Ranchers, Swedish Fish, whatever that is, and Reese's Cups.
Hawaii, Hershey mini bars, Butterfinger, and Skittles.
Skittles, not Skittles.
Iowa, M&M's, Reese's Cups, and Hershey mini bars. Oh, Iowa's smart. I like them.
Snickers is number one in Idaho. Starburst is second in Candy Corn.
Illinois, Sour Patch Kids, Kit Kat, and Starburst.
Indiana, Starburst, Hot Tamales, and Jolly Ranchers. Oh, Indiana's stupid.
Ugh, one of the worst three. Well, I don't know, Candy Corn.
And Kansas, M&M's, Sour Patch Kids, and Reese's Cups.
Kentucky, Reese's Cups, Hot Tamales, and Swedish Fish, whatever the hell that is.
Louisiana, Lemonheads, Reese's Cups, and Saltwater Taffy.
Okay, whatever. Massachusetts, and this is the last one. They don't have any more.
Listed, Butterfinger, there's no other states listed.
Sour Patch Kids, and Double Bubble Gum.
Okay, the only reason Double Bubble is good is because they have comics. Other than that, it's horrible.
Alright, and this right here is according to CandyStore.com, here are the rest of the candies America is not loving in 2024.
Circus Peanuts, I agree.
Peanut Butter Kisses? Mmm, I don't know. I don't even know if I have one. That sounds good though.
Number three, Candy Corn, yay. 100%.
Number four, Necco Wafers, those are good. But then again, I don't think of them as Halloween candy.
Number six, Wax Bottles, and that's where those little liquids in them, they have like green and blue liquid or whatever. They're supposed to be different flavors.
Number seven, no way. Liquorice. Oh, oh, no, no, this is the kind that they hate. Yes, I agree, liquorice is horrible.
Number eight is Smarties. Yeah.
Number nine, Bit O' Honey. Yeah, I always thought Bit O' Honey was horrible.
Number ten, Good and Plenty.
So there you go, there's your candy roundup, if you will. So there you go. Like it, love it, whatever, there it is.
Tomorrow morning while grinding your coffee beans for your double mocha latte, remember to not get your genitals caught in the grinder. It really hurts. Who can afford plastic surgery? Stay safe, everyone.
The apocalypse just happened. You don't know what to do. You don't know where to go. But we can tell you what you can eat.
During an apocalypse, you will probably need a good insecticide. Soybean, corn, and peppermint oil are some plant extracts that create powerful natural insecticides.
They are some of nature's best organic and natural pesticides that when combined can make a far more superior weapon that growers can effectively use to improve their integrated pest management on their crops or on their person.
Hey look, I think we found land. Oh my god, I think we're safe. Oh no, it's the island of horrible jokes.
My wife said I should do lunches to stay in shape. That is a big step forward.
Here's a story that, well, I don't think anyone would think they ever heard. It's just too weird and abstract. Anyhow, I'll just get into it. This is from USA Today.
Rock music guitarist, Jakey Lee, a veteran performer who performed with Ozzy Osbourne and founding bands Badlands and Red Dragon Cartel, was shot several times early Tuesday while walking his dog in Las Vegas. And that's where he lives, by the way.
The incident is under investigation. Lee's management said in a statement sent to USA Today, but the police think the shooting was completely random and occurred while Lee took his dog out for a walk in the early morning hours.
Lee, 67, is fully conscious and doing well in an intensive care unit at Las Vegas Hospital, his management said. He is expected to fully recover.
Las Vegas police responded to a shooting incident at the 1100 block of Elora Street in the southern part of the city, the Las Vegas Police Department said in a statement to USA Today.
Officers arrived and located a male victim suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. The male was transported to the hospital. The statement said no arrests had been made at this time.
Police said the incident remains under investigation. No further comments will be forthcoming. Lee and his family appreciate respecting their privacy at this time, his management said.
Hmm, interesting. Well, they went on to say, who is Jakey Lee?
Lee became well known to rock music fans when he joined Ozzy Osbourne's band for the albums Bark at the Moon and The Ultimate Sin. After that, Lee formed the band Badlands with former black Sabbath singer Ray Gillan and Eric Singer of Kiss.
The band released three albums. He formed new band Red Dragon Cartel in 2013, which released albums Red Dragon Cartel in 2014 and Patina in 2018.
Lee had been in the midst of a self-imposed absence from public performance because he suffered pain in his right hand and was working on pain management, he said in an interview October 9th with music news site blabbermouth.net.
But I am playing again. I have been for about two months, maybe, and I want to go out to do a tour, he told the outlet.
I want to finish doing the Pantina tour, which got canceled because of COVID. I'd like to go out and do that with Red Dragon Cartel, focus on the Pantina record and do some recording. We'll see where that goes.
Here are some how some fans react.
Brad Gillis, I just heard about Jakey Lee. Glad to hear he's doing well. My thoughts are with you, buddy. Brad Gillis is a very good guitarist too, and Brad Gillis was a predecessor to Jakey Lee.
Brad Gillis filled in for the rest of the tour after Randy Rhoades was killed in that tragic plane accident.
Here is the next one. Thinking and praying for Jakey Lee said Mark Strigle. I've heard it all of these. I think it's Strigle, host of Sirius XM channel Ozzy's Boneyard and a post on X.
Wish my friend Jakey Lee a full step vastly recovery. Posted agent and promoter David Medea.
And then there's a lot of other people that said a lot of other things. I could go into them, but those are some of the most notables that said something.
One of the really notable things that I read was, and I heard this and I saw it before in a couple of articles, but I guess maybe around, I don't know, 2000 something like that.
I'm not for sure, in the maybe late 90s, something like this. Apparently Sharon Osmore got a hold of Jakey Lee and was wanting him to come back and do a tour and maybe an album with Ozzy because they were having problems with Zack Wilde.
Now this would be consistent with some other people I know that had someone get contacted about it about the same time. And anyhow, I guess the stuff with Zack got worked out.
And Jakey Lee said that I think his agent went to bat for him and said, you know, this is all great and everything, but the thing that I really need and I have a problem with is Jakey Lee does not have any writing credits on Bark at the Moon.
And he wanted that changed before they could go further with any type of dialogue about him coming back.
And Sharon said, you know, I'll call you back. And this is according to what I read on several sources. So take it for what it is. Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't. But she never did call back, so he took that as a no.
Interesting stuff, especially the shooting part, but we all wish Jakey Lee well and it sounds like he is doing okay. And wow, what an odd story.
And now from the Truth is Stranger Than Fiction department.
Stanley Kubrick, who was behind The Shining, yeah, the famous Jack Nicholson.
Very scary movie, thriller, bloody, what have you.
Stanley Kubrick got what he wanted out of Jack Nicholson being that type of a psychopathic, angry character.
By having Nicholson eat cheese sandwiches, which he hates, for two weeks to get him into character.
That's a borderline insane. I can't believe that Jack Nicholson went along with this. But then again, you know what? I mean, this movie really did help him a lot.
You know, kind of. I mean, he is already established, but this movie did not hurt his career at all.
So, anyhow, I don't know what else to say on that except, okay, Truth is Stranger Than Fiction, and this is a prime example.
Kubrick, I guess, was a complete prick on this anyhow, because I guess him and Shelley Duvall were always at it.
About drove her to insanity by, he kept criticizing her performance and, you know, taking little pokes at her and stuff. And, anyhow, I guess the movie must have been like hell to be a part of, actually, it sounds like.
But, I mean, it turned out to be one of the classics, honestly. So, if you didn't know, now you do.
I mean, method actors do some odd stuff, too. I mean, you know, some method actors actually take it a little bit too far.
One of the ones that I found really interesting was James Gandolfini. Whenever he had to do, I think her name was Ada Titoro or something like that.
This is the actress that played his sister Janice, and he had to really act mad at her, but he was good friends with her.
And the way he did that was whenever he had a scene with her, he filled his shoes full of rocks and walked on them all day to where when he saw her, he would actually really, for real, have a pissed off look on his face and really be angry because he's walking on rocks all day.
That, I don't know if that's dedication or nuts. I mean, I guess it worked. Every episode that he was in, he acted angry with her and it was very convincing.
So I guess that form does. There's other better examples, too, but I'm not going to go into them. That was just one I remembered right off because I remember thinking, wow, that's interesting that he did that to get that kind of a role.
And it's interesting that Kubrick would feed Jack Nicholson cheese sandwiches for two weeks to get that type of a real nuttiness, craziness, anger out of him.
So a few months ago, Bob's big boy statue, you know, big boy, the burger place, and he's the chubby guy that's out there with the big smile on his face with the big cheeseburger in his hand, double cheeseburger that is.
Well, it seems like his statue, his head was sheared off because someone hit a fire hydrant and the in the car hit it so hard that the fire hydrant was projected up and it hit it hit Bob's big boy's head and knocked half of his head off the top of his head off.
So recently they gave the Bob Big's boy statue a brain for for Halloween and they painted it green for effect.
So and then they're going to have a trunk or treat in the honor of the big boy statue getting a brain and they're kind of making a spoof out of it.
So I think that's pretty cool. You know, they had the unfortunate problem of having somebody hit that fire hydrant and the fire hydrant, of course, you know, knocked the top of his head off.
So now there you go. They made it Halloween themed and it's working and I'm pretty sure they'll eventually probably put the rest of his head back on.
But until then, looks pretty cool. Look up the picture if you get a chance.
Have you ever wondered where something came about? Have you ever looked at something and said, I wonder what the origin of that is?
Well, so have we. That's why we give you The Origin of.
This is the story of Dr. Pepper, originally made in Morrison's Old Corner Drugstore in Wacoop, Texas.
The drink's unique flavor was a hit when it was first sold in 1885. Wade Morrison, the drugstore owner, named it Dr. Pepper.
After Dr. Charles Pepper, a Virginia doctor who the father of a girl, Morrison, he was once in love with.
You can still go to the Dr. Pepper Museum and still purchase the original formula with pure artesian well water and pure cane sugar.
It's quite a treat if you're into Dr. Pepper.
Hey there, fuckstick. You're just in time for brand new feature news nobody gives a shit about.
A man in Manitoba, Canada collects rat traps. He now has 3,421.
Well, it appears that A-Rod is kind of, I don't know, disgruntled again.
And he's kind of bashing on a teammate, which is never good.
So Aaron Rodgers is up and down on the blame game Tuesday as he continued to tear into teammate Mike Williams.
I didn't know he did this, otherwise I would have talked about it with Topher on the NFL show, the sports bastards.
But I did know about this. So anyhow, the New York Jets failed to get off to a winning start under new head coach.
Jeff Ulmbrich, Monday night, slipped into a 2-4 record with a 23-20 defeat to the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium.
It was a tale of two halves for Rodgers who threw a sensational 52-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass.
We did touch on that and had 294 yards, but also threw a costly late interception that ended any hopes of a late Jets victory.
Now, OK, that wasn't his fault, that interception. It was just a fantastic play.
So, I mean, there's nothing you can really do about it.
The quarterback attempted to pick out Mike Williams around 50 yards downfield with just under two minutes on the clock,
only for the wide receiver to slip before Teron Johnson picked him off.
Teron Johnson just made a hell of a play. I mean, there really wasn't anything you could do about it.
I mean, you know, yeah, I know that Mike Williams slipped a little bit, but still he would have had the ball if Teron Johnson wouldn't have picked him off.
I mean, Teron just jumped in front of him. And I mean, it was just an amazing play that he made it at all, Johnson did.
And Mike Williams would have made a hell of a play by catching it.
Rodgers accused his teammate of giving the game away following Monday's defeat, their third on the bounce.
But Jets fans criticized the four time MVP on social media,
with many convinced that he had a better option available in Breece Hall.
Despite the online criticism, Rodgers continued to blame Williams during his weekly guest appearance on the Pat McAfee show.
Is that good to blame your teammates and throw them under the bus?
You know, Patrick Mahomes is an owner of three of those trophies.
Rodgers owns one and is 40. Mahomes is 29 and owns three of them and been to the Super Bowl four times in his short career.
Mahomes never points anybody out. He just always says how he could have done a better job.
So anyhow, this is what he said. He said, I think I've watched my press conferences.
I start with myself when I make mistakes. I've got to play better. I can't make that throw. I can't make that decision.
That's the standard for everybody, the veterans said when asked about the play.
There were a lot of mistakes throughout the night.
But if you're looking just at that play, and that's what the question was, well, it was two verticals to the right side.
And Mike needed to get to the right of the red line, which would have been a big gain.
So I wasn't calling Mike out for anything, but his responsibility and details on that play.
I have a lot of love and respect for Mike on that play. He wasn't in the right spot.
We should all be held to a standard. I hold myself to a standard of greatness.
And when it hasn't been there, which it hasn't at certain times, I've stood up there and I've said I've got to play better.
Hopefully that's an example for everyone else.
After Monday's defeat, Roger placed the blame on his team's terrible failings on the field.
He admitted that he was now concerned about the prospects of the season when New York now two and four, but insisted that that's important.
We need to get going. Roger said this was a golden opportunity.
Some games you win in that NFL, some games you give away. This was a giveaway.
We were terrible in the red zone. We missed two field goals. We didn't convert on a two minute drive.
We have plenty of chances. We had the momentum. We had good drives. We moved the ball up and down the field.
It's so disappointing. But here's where it is.
Replay showed that Hall was in acres of space to his right just before he launched the ball to Williams, a pass which could have earned the first down at a pivotal moment.
One year's a road on X. Blame Mike Williams all you want. But Rogers had Bryce Hall with no one in the zip code to the right.
And he's right. I mean, it shows you could look back at the tape and you could look at the play. You can see the stills, everything.
That's right. Look at Bryce Hall. A leak out said another.
Nobody within 15 yards of him. Rogers got greedy, wanted to be the hero.
It was a four down territory, man. A third comment. Aaron Rogers suck. Why don't you throw the long ball for Williams to catch?
I could see a wide open Bryce Hall. Blame Mike Williams. But what about Bryce Hall? Asked another.
Well, it's easy to blame Mike Williams. Let's not forget that Aaron Rogers had Bryce Hall wide open with no defenders in sight.
That raises questions about his decision making on the field.
Yeah, but also OK, Aaron Rogers did point out that he's not playing well, that he holds responsibility, too.
So, no, I don't think he should have mentioned this guy. You don't ever mention him in person like that.
Like I said, I go back to my homes. He's had much far greater success than Aaron Rogers in NFL just in his short career.
OK, so I mean, going by that and all the records that my homes is already broke and being the gold standard of quarterbacks, he doesn't do that.
He doesn't point out anything like that. You know, he takes it on his back like a true leader.
And he says, you know what? We all could have played better, including myself. I could play better. He said we could have better play calling.
So, I mean, to me, that's more of a leader and more of a catalyst to great things.
So, you know, I mean, do you reap what you sow? Maybe Aaron Rogers would have had much better success over those linear, leaner years or the years that he lost in the championship game many times over or the divisional rounds many times over.
Maybe if he was more of a leader, people would get behind him more possibly. Don't know. Look, it's just a thought.
And I, you know, this is just kind of the way I feel. You know, I don't think Aaron Rogers is all wrong in what he said.
But I do think that this thing about him calling someone out like this is probably not a very good, probably not a very good decision.
So, anyhow, take that for what you will.
And now to this. After months on the run, a murder suspect falls through the ceiling and into custody.
Authorities got a lucky break when the murder suspect they'd been pursuing for months fell, so to speak, in their laps through the ceiling where he had been hiding.
The U.S. Marshals Service said agents captured 20-year-old D.R.O. Wilkerson on Monday.
Months after a warrant for his arrest on charges of first degree murder and reckless endangerment was issued in connection with a fatal shooting in Memphis, Tennessee.
The task force investigating his whereabouts tracked him to a residence in Memphis, the agency said in a release.
Wilkerson attempted to hide in the attic when the crossboards, which were not meant to withstand human weight, caved in and the suspect literally fell right into law enforcement's reach.
Wilkerson is accused of shooting a man in the back of the head, killing him.
His gunfighter during that also struck a passing vehicle and wounded a female passenger as well.
Wilkerson is well, this happened.
This story came out a couple of weeks ago, so I imagine he's been arraigned and probably still in the slammer.
And that's funny. He thought it was being all cute, hiding in between and didn't work, did it?
So, huh, there you go.
Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper. It's strange insults from an alien. Real hilarity.
Hey, your chair produces sound similar to a fart, but only once. Such that, we cannot reproduce it and prove that it was just the chair.

When I was with that band, I wasn't drinking, so when we played drinking games, I'd have to drink this water.
Which is not really much of a game, because half the game is watching everyone get drunk and they have to take a drink or whatever.
It gives you a one-up though, you see stupid shit happening and other people don't identify with it because they're smashed. But then again, it'd be fun or smash because you'd be like, ah!
Well, they came up with a variation for me since instead of drinking alcohol, I was drinking water, they made the exception that I could not get up, I couldn't leave the circle to go pee.
Everyone else could, but since I wasn't getting hammered on water, then my punishment was I couldn't pee.
That lasted for a while and I was like, okay, I voluntarily lose or quit, whatever, because I've got to go pee right now.
Some of those drinking games went on way too long and by the time we got back to the club to play that night, some of us were still a little hammered.
A little residual leftover glaze. Then they're done at home.
And then you got the choice, if you're that person, you start the gig off and you're kind of wasted, do you just keep it going throughout the gig or do you let yourself come down during the gig and by the fourth set you're like,
I hate this, I hate life, let me go. I was talking to a guy at work similar to that when I was younger.
I used to have to decide because we were out late one night having some beers and stuff and I ended up leaving that place like 2.30 or something, which is rare for me.
I've been asleep a long time. A couple days later I'm talking to him and I go, you know, when I was younger, I used to have that one moment where I had to stop for a second at what I was doing and go, alright, I've got to get to work in four hours.
Do I want to just ride this out, hurry, and try to sober up the last couple hours and go to work or do I want to shut this fucking thing down, get four hours of sleep and then go in there and go to work?
And usually, usually it was like I'm just going to ride this thing through and I'll sleep tomorrow, which I never did because then all of a sudden a bunch of people show up and anyhow they go, hey, come on man, get in the car, we're going to go over to so and so's.
I'll be like, oh yeah, you know. And usually it takes me three or four days to catch up and then I'd have these usually on Tuesday night.
But it seems like that would be the wiser choice is to stay awake and ride it out. When I was in that situation.
Yeah, because you feel like shit, you know, you actually get about three hours or two and a half hours sleep because you're forcing yourself to sleep but you still want to party.
You get a little bit of bad sleep, bad quality sleep. When you wake up, your body is finally to the point where it wants to sleep but now you have to wake up.
Yeah, when you get in that really deep sleep, you wake up.
Yeah. And then what's even worse is while you're asleep, you can't monitor your symptoms and take steps to counteract.
Like if you're dead asleep because you're half wasted.
Yeah, I mean, you may be so sick to your stomach that normally you'd wake up and do something about it.
But you're sleeping so hard in those couple three hours that it just sits there and gets worse and worse.
By the time you wake up, you feel like total shit. Whereas if you stayed awake, you can treat those symptoms as they came up.
You'd be more tired. But after the end of a couple hours, like, OK, I got my nausea under control.
I got myself hydrated. I got some drops in my eyes. It usually worked out better because you could you had that time to start treating yourself.
Yeah. So yeah, I would run into that not necessarily because I was wasted, but just because I was tired.
I would run those out of town gigs. You know, I'd work all day Friday, drive out to, you know, some hour and a half out of town, set up, play, tear down.
And then I'd have to drive back to KC and get a little bit of sleep and go work Saturday.
I worked a lot of Saturdays. And then when I was done with work, I'd have to load up, drive back to that little town where everybody else still was and go play the second night.
It was like, oh, this sucks so hard. See, that's when I should have been free basing Coke or something.
You know, that's when I needed all that energy. But, you know, there I was trying to exist on coffee and cigarettes.
I just wouldn't cut it. Oh, no. Looks like the show's over, kids.
Mark has explosive diarrhea and can't afford a wireless mic. Fear not, assholes.
